Yesterday, my students began an eggsperiment (I just couldn't resist!) using three boiled eggs. One egg was placed in vinegar, one in water, and one in a cup full of Coca-Cola. An eggshell has similiar characteristics to our teeth, and on Friday we are going to see the results that prolonged exposure to each of these substances can have on our eggs. My students have noticed that so far, the vinegar has caused the egg to expand, water has had no overall effect, and the Coca-Cola is beginning to change the color of the shell. More results to come!
To continue our exploration of eggs, we brainstormed a list of animals that hatch from eggs. It was quite extensive (geckos, chickens, platypus, snakes, tadpoles, crocodiles, butterflies, etc..). Then each student was given a regular piece of white copy paper. We folded it in half ("hamburger style") and then folded one side of the paper down. After that, each third grader drew an oval to represent an egg, followed by lines to show the cracking of an egg. When you open the paper up completely, it will look like the egg has cracked!
Students may draw an animal "inside" the egg so that others may see what has "hatched!" Mine was a snake.

Douglas Miller
Doesn't like me v much his notes 4 history are very long and dragged out and he always lets us out late but he's a good teacher overall
the most influential teacher i had back in school, i dont know what i'd have done without him. he helped me so much and i'll be ever grateful
He's like a big kid with all his useless electonics. I've seen wireless keyboards, wireless speakers, headsets, three iPods, two laptops, two DVD players, Sky Plus, and a projector
he could probably spend less on gadgets (smartphones, wireless speakers, multiple iPods, etc) and more time on teaching
have to dispute those who say he hated rugby players!! i spent 3 years on the S and the man is a legend! what a sense of humor, comic genius
Very tough teacher, and very moody. Knows his stuff and respects students who work hard. Viciously berates slackers on a regular basis.
Only teacher from school to go to a recent funeral of a young past pupil, 2001. Respect for that. Heart in right place. A Good guy.
Ah, funny little Wexford man! great teacher if you're on his good side, a bit harsh at times but he got results.
Douglas "That you actually have" Miller! A trier if ever there there was one, bless him! A very decent guy, prone to an insane amount of waffle though!
this guy's ridiculous. doesn't listen to other people's argument and goes on about irrelevant things. Useless, but nice guy.
"that you actually have"...constantly kicking us outta the common room before lunch ends & says we'll get a fire alarm once we behave maturely-eh,is that right?
likes to lecture us on how we will be old one day, and have a mortgage, but he's def not cool and trendy
always says "lil children ud b seen not heard" STOP!!!!!!!!!!but a gud teacher!
Prone to giving lectures and rants, but one the whole, quite a solid teacher. Kind of grating though, but no real complaints
I don't think he enjoys teaching History as much as English. Can be cruel to some. He is definitely not cool or trendy.
i had dougie for 6 years. he was one of 2 (mr sheridan)teachers who genuinely cared to see me succeed. i owe him so, so much. + he has the best taste in music!
Eh Lucy!! He does care about his students even if he is overly picky because of it. He needs to stop repeating himself tho.....very annoying!
Great guy if ya did the work and tryed hard. Fantastic teacher.
Everyone gives him a hard time but if you dont annoy him hes a cool and nice guy
Mr miller is a great teacher and a great guy. If u respect him he respects you.
Extremely encouraging +supportive.All about mutual respect.You respect him by doing the work and trying your best, he'll respect you.a pleasure to be taught by!
really good history teacher but not the best c.s.p.e. teacher although if you ever get in trouble he'll just blame your parents. WEXFORD!!!!
ehhh....'what he goes and does' anoys most with his constant whinning,a great teacher in sort to say, but a little untoward!'this is what you have to go and do'
Absolutely the nicest teacher you'll ever come across. He's like a creme egg, hard shell soft centre.Best teacher in the world.
can get off topic in class sometimes, but has good intentions.dedicated and interested , a great guy!
Tries hard and cares: even if the outcome doesn't reflect this.
oh the snowblock..... anyway, as much as he's a good coach, he tends to teach useless things... still, theres worse then him.
Miller argues over everything and just uses the same point over and over. He's doesn't like certain people to succeed and can be unfarely mean for no reason.
Bit of a knuckle headed macspasitron but otherwise an ok teacher.
Nice guy, tries to get the best out of his pupils but can be a bit moody
Gentleman, fantastic teacher, funny guy ( whether you want to admit it or not!)
An amazing teacher. One of the best in high school.Lovely guy!
Will teach one manners among other things. Greatest man I know.
Is not as "cool and trendy" as he thinks he is. Likes to stick his nose into other people's business, where he has no right to. Not that bad an English teacher.

Fishing Fun In and Around Lake Almanor
By Bob Kopernik, Lucky Grady Fishing Guide Service Northern California could easily be considered a mecca for outdoor enjoyment and fun. For a variety of reasons, Lake Almanor and the surrounding area does not get the throngs of summertime visitors that some other areas do. Although this is not a good thing for our local businesses, it is great for outdoors people, especially fishermen andwomen who prefer a quiet hike alongside a stream in search of the perfect fishing spot or to fish the mostly vacant lake either from shore or a boat.

Tag for a Shower
So, play in my craft room, I did! We are having a Bridal Shower for one of our young ladies at church tomorrow after morning services. I had gotten her gift and started to just go ahead and buy the usual small note card to go on it with some kind of bow. I thought, naaa, don't want to do that. I'll see what I can come up with, and then if necessary, I'll buy something. So I took out my Cuttlebug and some dies and a couple of hours later, here's what I had.
As I leave you this evening, I desire to remind you of this, "The only safe place to build your life is on God's Word." That goes along with our Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow. As a matter of fact, it is the point of the lesson. We live in a world that believes in no "absolute" standards of right and wrong, but, God IS the standard! The way we live our lives, is based totally on our belief system. If God is first place in your life, it will show, if He isn't, that will show also. I challenge you to read God's Word for five minutes a day. I challenge you to start with the book of John. John talks about the deity of Jesus Christ. I love the book of John for that reason. I challenge you to read it deliberately and slowly, letting what you read sink in to your soul. That's the best way to build your life on God's Word and it's also a great place to be, in God's Word. Ok, y'all, who's up for a challenge? Call it the "Love Challenge". Let's take this challenge, y'all! You are loved! Jesus Christ is our One, True Love!
Hugs Y'all, and much love, Patty

This is the first time I've ever visited your blog and I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed seeing your creativity in using what you had to create the gift card/tag, but I especially appreciated your words at the end of your post. Praise the Lord for people like you who are willing to combine their creativity with their love of the Lord.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much Ginny!! I hope you come back often. The way I see it, if the Lord had not have given me my love for crafts, I wouldn't have a blog, so as long as I have a blog, I will Praise the Lord with it. For me, that is what my blog is about. I'm not gonna force anyone to read, but if you do read, you will see I love the Lord and what He's done in my live. God Bless you Ginny! hugs, PattyDelete

Random text, gibberish and biased opinions. Trying to track culture, trends, internet, ideas and people. Trying to learn. Trying to evolve.
The Balloon Guy
However, the man starting pleading to us, in low tones. He said something to the effect that he hadnt sold a single balloon in the day and he wont be able to buy himself dinner. Being a dilliwallah, I ignored his plea and was concerned for my friends' safety. I herded her away from that dark alley, into the bright light cast by the huge Starbucks signboard up ahead.
We found a rick for her and once I put her in a rick and was walking back, it struck me that the balloon guy must be working real hard to earn his living and it must have taken a lot of balls to be able to ask for alms. And he's probably worked hard all his life (selling balloons cant be easy), it must be even more tough for him to beg.
Left me wondering that we crave for things like houses and cars and we fight for things like God and idols of stone but we cant find a way to help people like that balloon wala make enough to feed his family. What's the point of it?
Of course I wont have answers to these issues that perplex the intelligentsia. But I know for sure that that it could be a great purpose in life. To be able to help others upgrade the lives they lead. And how would I do that? I dont know. But I shall find out. I have at least 33 more years to go. And I will work on increasing that as we go along.
Help me on it? Please?

Almass-Houd Aguissa Toure (Postdoctoral Fellow)
Term: 2010-11-01~2011-10-31
I did my Master's and Doctoral degrees at University of Toulouse (France). After my Master's degree on Noc4p, an essential protein in yeast ribosome biogenesis, it was reported that a mutation in the gene encoding for the ribosomal protein S19 is the source of Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA), a rare genetic disease. For my PhD, I decided to work on the link between S19 and this new reported disease. By this work, we demonstrated for the first time the molecular bases of the Diamond-Blackfan anemia, by the same way, the link between the ribosome function and a rare congenital disease. The study represented the complete analytical modeling using archaea, yeast and higher eukaryote species.
Since April 2010, I started a post-PhD research on ING tumor suppressor family proteins. For this work I am focusing on the molecular mechanisms of ING1 in genomic instability, replication stress and cancer.

AOL's Case February Letter to Members
February 1, 1996
Dear Members:
America Online reaches yet another milestone this month, as we welcome our
five millionth member. To put this in perspective, AOL is now among the
largest "cities" in the world; more people live in the AOL community than in
the metro areas of San Francisco, Madrid, or Sydney (and larger than the
city populations of Los Angeles and Chicago). And more people now subscribe
to AOL than to The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and The New York Times
COMBINED. So the recent growth has been phenomenal and I'd like to thank
each and every one of you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
To help manage the growth, we have just hired Bill Razzouk to be our Chief
Operating Officer, responsible for all of the day-to-day operations of the
company. Bill comes to us from Federal Express, where he headed worldwide
operations. FedEx has established a reputation as a leader in quality, so as
we continue to focus on improving quality at AOL, we are pleased to welcome
Bill to our team.
This month I'd like to talk about the Internet. There's a lot of debate
these days about how the online services industry will evolve, and in
particular what role the Internet will play over time. I wanted to provide
you with our perspective on this topic, and then tell you about a related
event that we're proud to be associated with.
While some have come to believe that there's an inherent competitiveness
between online services and the Internet, our view is they are highly
synergistic. For most of the past decade, the online services industry and
the Internet have evolved and grown on parallel paths. In the past two
years, those paths have converged, to provide "best of breed" unified
offerings. For example, AOL is now a superset of the Internet -- we provide
an on ramp to the Internet, and a whole lot more.
At AOL, we've tried to keep a careful eye on the needs of our customers and
are always focused on ways we can make the interactive experience more fun,
friendly and engaging -- independent of the tools or technologies that we are
leveraging. We see the Internet as an increasingly important piece of the
puzzle, but not the puzzle itself. The Internet is a platform, a set of
technologies, a network of networks. We embrace the Internet, and focus our
efforts on adding value on top of the base level platform, so we can excite
the imaginations of millions of people. When watching television, we don't
really care how the program is transmitted to us, because the technology is
largely invisible; we just want good programs to watch. Similarly, our goal
at AOL is to ensure you have the best experience online, without worrying
about the technology and how the information is delivered.
Our members have told us they want access to a broad range of content,
presented in an engaging way, easy-to-use, affordably priced, and with a
strong underlying sense of community. These factors are the underpinnings
to our success, because our members have, in turn, brought other members
online. Where the content resides, which network you happen to be using, or
which technology is employed are not the issues -- you care more about what
you get than how you get it.
So we've seamlessly integrated the vast content of the Internet with the
ease, simplicity and engaging presentation of America Online to offer an
enhanced interactive experience. For someone wanting sports information
today, for instance, they'll find a rich collection of compelling content
that blends the best of the Internet -- such as the popular ESPN Web site and
USA Today Sports Page, with the vast array of content provided by AOL's
partners such as the NFL, ABC Sports, iGolf and others -- all brought
together in one comprehensive, easy-to-find and easy-to-use area. And we
have designed AOL to work well with standard modems; most would agree that
the Web realistically requires a 28.8 kpbs or faster modem, which only a
minority of consumers have, while AOL works quite well at 14.4 and even 2400.
This strategy has catapulted AOL into the lead as the world's most popular
online service -- and has also made us the world's leading Internet provider.
Every day we process more than 28 million hits on the Web. We deliver
e-mail to 4 million people (half of which is Internet mail). And more than 5
million newsgroup articles are read each day by AOL members.
For more sophisticated users who find themselves spending a significant
amount of their time on the Web, AOL recently launched a second brand, GNN.
In just 3 months, GNN has already become the nation's second largest
Internet-only brand. Although we continue to focus most of our attention on
AOL, as we believe millions of people need a service like AOL, we are pleased
to also be able to serve the needs of the growing Internet-only segment of
the market with GNN.
This discussion relates to an event this month that celebrates the growth of
online services and the Internet.
"24 Hours in Cyberspace: Painting on the Walls of the Digital Cave" is the
name given to the event that, beginning this month, will showcase the people
that make up cyberspace. After all, cyberspace is about people: their
thoughts, ideas, and experiences. Photojournalist Rick Smolan and his
company, Against All Odds, are spearheading '24 Hours in Cyberspace,' a
worldwide effort to collect stories and photographs of people in cyberspace
and to portray how this medium has affected their lives. AOL is a co-sponsor
of this event, joining such companies as Eastman Kodak, Adobe Systems, and
You may have seen Rick and his team's work in the best-selling book, 'A Day
in the Life of America,' as well as 'From Alice to Ocean,' and 'Passage to
Vietnam.' We're proud to have joined Rick and his team in this monumental
February 8 has been selected as the day when 1,000 photographers -- including
100 of the world's top photojournalists -- fan out around the globe,
documenting how this interactive digital revolution has changed our lives.
It's the one day that will capture the images, spirit, and imagination of
those who have found this medium to be engaging, educational, interactive,
participatory, artful, and intimate. AOL members, photojournalists, and
others on the Web will send stories to sites on AOL and the Web.
As part of the event, AOL will host the '24 Hour Lunch' in AOL Live where
you'll interact with photographers and participants at lunch time (in their
time zone) around the clock. The 24 Hour Lunch will mark the biggest one-day
online event ever.
This phenomenal project will result in: 1) the launch of a new area on
America Online -- 'The Faces of AOL' -- which will reflect AOL members'
online experiences through stories and photos, with topics ranging from love
and friendship to heroes and miracles; 2) the '24 Hours in Cyberspace' Web
site, to include excerpts from the event; 3) a combination book/CD-ROM
package, due to be published later this year.
So, I hope you'll participate with us February 8, and take part in this
historic venture, one of the largest photographic projects ever attempted.
Send in your photos and essays about your experiences in cyberspace. Prior
to that day, go to keyword CYBER24 for more details!
Warm Regards,
Steve Case

DLP Update : The 20 InsideEars Event Announcements For DLP Future !
On May 18, Disneyland Paris invited webmasters for the InsideEars launch event. Not less than 20 important announcements about DLP near future were unveiled and here is the complete list of all of them with pictures shot by Max, D&M contributor and DLP Welcome webmaster. The list starts right below after the video of the the InsideEars event. Note: most of the presentations in the video are in French language only.
1: « Mickey's PhilarMagic » will open at Discoveryland Theater in October 2018. Even if the theatre exist since the park opening day you can count this as a new attraction for DLP, and even if the 3D movie had its premiere at WDW 15 years ago it's a good news as it's a good "D" Ticket attraction.
2: Mid-2019, the two parks of Disneyland Paris will be - at last - fully covered by the Wifi network!
3: Magic Pass is coming, French version of the "Magic Band" in a card version for Disneyland Paris, and will be tested this summer for a full use starting in 2019.
4: The Disneyland Hotel will be renovated in its Victorian style but with a new theme not yet unveiled for the rooms, probably other than the current Fantasia theme. The total closure of the establishment should take place after the reopening of the Disney's New York hotel in its future Marvel version in 2020. Below, some pictures of the Hotel New York today before its rehabilitation on the Marvel theme.
Here is how the rooms will look when the hotel will reopen with its new "Art of Marvel" theme
5: Disney Village: A total redesign of the site is planned and is at 90% validated. A presentation will be made once the project will be signed. Expect a lot of works on this one, too.
6: A new director for the fast food restauration of Disneyland Paris has arrived for a forthcoming redesign of the strategy and the offer.
7: Tests of online reservations for restaurants this summer, such as the restaurant « En Coulisse ».
8: Total rehabilitation of the facades of the Tower of Terror starting May 26. No, it's not because they intend to change the TOT with a Guardians of Galaxy theme. It's for a more serious reason and if you want to know why, scroll down to the next article or jump HERE.
9: As of July 2018, the « Rendez-vous Gourmands » - DLP equivalent to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival - will return with 6 new stands as, for example, the Antilles, Italy, Spain and Belgium. If you missed it last year have look at the video below.
10: Ratatouille will be closed from late August to early December 2018, to fully redo the ground of the attraction which collapse a bit in some areas. No kidding.
11: The « Colonel Hathi Pizza Outpost » will closed in 2019 and will be transformed. Apparently it will become a buffet restaurant but what is not know is if the great theming inside will be changed. Let's hope not. The colonial building is surrounded by little falls and apparently the water is not running anymore there, so may be they want to take care of this too.
12: NO Starbucks Cafe will be established in Main Street USA. Good news.
13: The restaurant « Pizza Planet » will be completely destroyed. A tent purchased at the COP21 will be installed in the same location to receive Premium products and special events like the one for InsideEars last Friday.
14: Mickey and Minnie are celebrating their 90th anniversary at Disneyland Park from October 1, 2018 to January 6, 2019. Creation of five delicious giant cupcakes inspired by the 5 lands of Disneyland Paris and celebration of Mickey's birthday in the shows where he appears.
15: « Mickey's Halloween Celebration » returns with a new float « Mickey's Illusion Manor » that will celebrate Phantom Manor.
16: A Photolocation with one or more characters from Phantom Manor will open this fall near the attraction after its renovation.
17: At last, the Mark Twain riverboat will be fully renovated in 2019 and back in 2020 to sail on Frontierland Rivers of the Far-West!
18: Frontierland Chaparral Theater is now destroyed. A new theatre will be built and will present the all-new Disneyland Paris production of the Lion king in 2019.
19: DLP Castle turrets with their Golden Arrows at the top will be reinstalled before July on Sleeping Beauty castle, they had been removed when one fell down because of high winds last Winter.
20: The great Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily will designed some DLP exclusive collectible products for DLP and others new merchandise both in collectibles figures and clothes will arrive in shops soon!
And that's it for last Friday announcements! Before you leave an important note as Disney and more truly needs your urgent support!!! If you follow D&M you may have seen that i start a series of eBooks with the first one released last week - article HERE - and after 11 years of resistance i finally agreed to have a bit of Google Ads on D&M - only at the end of each article and one Ad also on the right bar. But i won't get any revenue from these before two or three months and in the meantime i need to survive. So, your support is really urgent and the best way to bring your support to D&M is through a donation by directly sending the amount you wish to my Paypal.me account at: https://www.paypal.me/LITTAYE
It can be any amount whether it is 10, 20 or 50 $ or €, or any amount you wish in any currency, and each donation will be rewarded by a very cool gift - you'll love it!
Note: the Paypal.me link works also for those of you who don't have a Paypal account.
Another way to support D&M is of course to order your copy of the Disneyland Paris book - only English edition is available, no more French edition but i send a PDF of the full French text for those who don't understand English. You can discover the full 320 pages of this amazing book in my video HERE. Price is 75€ + 22€ shipping and to order the book you have to email me at: email@example.com with your name and shipping address. Payment by Paypal or credit card or bank transfer are accepted.

Phoenix Suns Team Report – February 28
=== Phoenix Suns Team Report – February 28 ===
(Sports Network) – Amare Stoudemire led all scorers with 24 points in
leading the Phoenix Suns to a 104-99 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics on
Friday at KeyArena.
Shawn Marion added 18 points and a game-high 13 rebounds but it was Howard
Eisley who made several key baskets en route to 16 points for the Suns, who
have won two straight on the heels of an eight-game skid. Joe Johnson and
Leandro Barbosa chipped in with 17 and 13, respectively.
Seattle trailed by as much as 17 with less than five minutes remaining in the
third period but kept nibbling away at the margin.
Phoenix held Seattle at bay until Ray Allen's baseline three-pointer capped a
9-0 rally that brought the Sonics within four at 94-90 with 3:44 left in the
game. Just as they had done all contest when Seattle threatened, the Suns
bounced right back to get more breathing room.
Eisley scored the only two buckets over the next three minutes until Allen's
free throws made it 98-92 with 51 seconds to play.
Seattle just ran out of time as the Suns made their free throws down the
stretch to seal the win.
The Suns, who will face the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, have just one win in
their last seven on the road and are 7-24 away from home this season.

One of the many views at Grizzly Island, California. Grizzly Island is in the Suisun Marsh which is the largest contiguous brackish marsh in the continental United States. California's largest population of river otters swim in the sloughs; one can see more than 230 bird species as well as tule elk, a species native only to California. Seventy-five miles of levee trails are open from February through July.

Westhill girls edge Danbury
DANBURY -- On the offensive end, it was just another day at the office for Danbury center Casey Smith.
Smith, who battled through double and triple teams throughout Friday's game versus Westhill, scored 21 points and missed a total of three shots -- from the field and free throw line -- the entire night.
But here's the twist: Smith, a 6-foot-2 center who averages 10.4 boards per game, hauled in just three rebounds.
It wasn't from lack of effort or execution -- that's for sure.
As Danbury assistant Kathleen Boggan put it, "there just weren't many rebounds to get."
Sports Videos
That's because Westhill, plain and simple, did not miss.
The Vikings (11-7) had an answer for every Danbury shot as they upstaged the Hatters on "Senior Night Pinkout" -- an event dedicated to longtime Danbury assistant coach and police officer Bobby DiNardo, who passed away from cancer in June 2009 -- and pulled off a 47-46 upset.
"I'm not mad; I'm not upset," said Hatters coach Jackie DiNardo, Bobby's widow. "When a team shoots like that, it's going to be tough."
Even so, the Hatters came close to pulling out the win.
Danbury freshman Becca Gartner stole an inbounds pass with 1:10 to play and the Hatters held for the final shot of the game -- a contested 3-pointer from Gartner's twin sister, Rachel. The shot fell to the ground without hitting the rim and Becca's desperation put-back attempt was blocked as the final buzzer sounded.
Becca finished with 13 points -- including three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter -- in front of a packed house on hand to honor Bobby DiNardo and raise money for cancer research.
Before the game, the Hatters also had a pre-game ceremony for their two seniors, forward Nicole Kline and shooting guard Rabia Rawji.
Both played for Bobby DiNardo on the Danbury freshmen team in 2007-2008 and both were filled with emotion in the days leading up to the game.
"It's spectacular," Kline said. "I'm so past tears. I've already cried too much."
The final score aside, both seniors regard Friday's game as a night they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
"Even though we lost, we played for Mr. DiNardo and we did our best," Rawji said. "I know he's happy. He's satisfied."
Danbury (14-4) is in action next when it hosts Darien Monday at 7 p.m.
WESTHILL (47): Megan D'Alessandro 5 2-2 14; Suzanne Cohen 4 2-2 13; Steph Roones 1 0-0 3; Allison Schechter 2 0-0 4; Ann Hawthorn 4 1-2 9; Allyson Souza 1 0-0 2; Tamm Wise 0 0-0 0; Elizabeth Joseph 0 0-0 0; Morgan Kortz 0 0-0 0. TOTALS: 17 5-6 47
DANBURY (46): Rachel Gartner 1 0-0 3; Becca Gartner 4 2-2 13; Rabia Rawji 3 0-2 7; Nicole Kline 0 0-0 0; Casey Smith 9 3-3 21; Nicole Hanna 0 0-0 0. TOTALS: 17 5-7 46
3-POINT GOALS: W--D'Alessandro 2, Cohen 3, Roones; D--Rebecca Gartner 3, Rachel Gartner, Rawji

Though my previous reviews, if that's what you can call my non-sensical and oft-times partially drunken ramblings, have all been about games which I have played on the 360, I am also an avid PC gamer and so I thought, for this one at least, I would move to one of the series' which have kept me entertained for the most amount of time over these long years of nerd-dom. So let's take a little trip down the twisted pathways of my very own personal Memory Lane, shall we?
The Mount And Blade series, an open-world, realistic, medieval Action-Adventure RPG, (try saying that quickly after a few drinks) has had a strange life. I first discovered it in 2004, back before the game was actually released. This is where I put on my thick-rimmed glasses, a chequered shirt and look haughtily down my nose at you, because I like M&B before it was cool. PC gaming hipster, FTW.
Back then, you could download a very basic trial which allowed you to play until your character reached level 7, when your save would be locked unless you paid to enter into the Beta. Now, you could level to that in perhaps an hour of playing, often even less. And yet, I went without buying the game for almost a year, simply replaying the game until I reached level 7, then starting again.
This was back when there were only two factions in the game, (the Swadians and the Vaegirs) if you discounted the neutral starting city (Zendar), which sadly disappeared from the eventual release. Since then, though great advances have been made, particularly in the quality of the graphics (which are still not as good as other, more professionally produced games), the options of equipment which are made available, the dialogue between yourself and NPC characters, the locations you can visit and the soldiers you can command, there are two aspects to this game which have, thankfully, remained the same and kept me coming back for more.
The first is simply the core gameplay, which has remained more or less unchanged over the years. The game is split into two "theatres" if you will allow me the pretension of such a term. The first is the campaign map (amazing how many terrains can be fit in a world which you can cross in a little over a day, in game time), allowing you and your party to travel across the land of Calradia (seriously, it leads from snow to Mongolian-esque plains, to deserts, to mountains, the verdant grass lands and back around again), visiting towns and villages, meeting allies and recruiting soldiers, finding quests and pursuing (or running away from) your enemies.
You can join a faction, as a Lord capable of taking, and holding, land in your King's name, or you can try to form your own faction but, without friends and allies, you will be seen as nothing more than an outlaw with a Castle. It is often heart-breaking to build a new faction, recruiting soldiers, mercenaries and any Lords you can persuade to you side as your own vassals, before a massed horde of the nearest faction appears at your gate, with a desire to use your head as a wine cup and your banner as a rag for their dishes. Though I do profess a love for this, more strategic, element of the game, it is in the battles themselves that M&B truly shines.
The melee combat is quick and simple to master, particularly depending on which difficulty settings you have enabled, such as auto-block which will automatically have your character defend from the direction the attack is coming, but it works. The Directional attacks are an amazingly simple mechanic, with you moving your mouse a little in any direction before you attack to make your attack come from that direction. Simple enough, but when they each have different speeds and damages, depending on the enemy's armour, the weapon's strength and your own character's skills.
Ranged combat is trickier, especially when mounted. You will need a high skill in whatever ranged weapon you are using to have a good chance of hitting an opponent who is more than the length of the arrow away. However, once you do manage to get a high enough skill with it, you can send your arrows through the eye slits in enemy King's helmets without breaking a sweat.
Weapons come in one of six (or seven in some of the later games) basic types.
Single-handed weapons, such as swords, hatchets, clubs, daggers which, unsurprisingly, are fast and often strong, allowing the use of a shield in your other hand.
Throwing weapons also allow the use of a shield, and are definitely the weakest type of weapon you can use, even when you gain skill in their use. This includes throwing knives, javelins (which are different from throwing spears, God only knows why), throwing axes and, perhaps most dangerous of all, rocks. You'd think I'm being sarcastic there, but early on in the game, when Looters or bandits are your main enemy, I've lost count of the times a thrown rock has flown out of a melee and knocked my character out.
Two-Handed weapons include Great Swords, War Axes, Mauls and some Hammers and, surprise, surprise once more, are normally stronger but slower than one-handed weapons.
Crossbows and Bows are simply a matter of the player's taste rather than much difference in the gameplay. Bows, including Shortbows, Longbows and Hunting bows, are faster than crossbows, but are weaker, and cannot shoot as great a difference.
Polearms can include Spears, Halberds and Lances, many of which are best used on horseback. Lances specifically give a couched damage boost when you reach a certain speed, making a coherent cavalry charge one of the most devastating attacks in the game. Some are able to be used with a shield, often Lances and Spears rather than Halberds.
Some weapons however, can be used is multiple weapon styles, such as Bastard Swords, my own particular favourite, which can be used with either a shield or not.
Both many mods and the latest game Fire & Sword added firearms as an option but, as they are only the early style of firearm, flintlock weapons for the most part, the can still be outshot by a Bow or Crossbow, though they are typically much stronger than either of the two.
Refreshingly for a medieval setting, magic, or whatever synonym is used to explain it without sounding quite so nerdy, makes absolutely no appearance. In fact, you could almost say it makes a negative appearance, so intent where the developers in keeping the game realistic, that even any form of religion has been ignored.
Fortunately, (in a completely fitting and natural segway) this leads me to the second reason I am still a huge fan of this series, the modding community.
Though I feel the mods have become less imaginative over time, around the release of the original game (pre-Warband, Fire and Sword and Napoleonic Wars). I remember playing Pirate mods, where people had made naval battles, mods based off of Lord of the Rings, The Hundred Years War and even the start of one based on George R.R Martin's Game of Thrones. My own favourites are the Native Expansion, which adds more variations of enemies and allies alike, more weapons and better back stories for several of your Companion characters and Freelancer, which allows you to join up with other Lords as less than a Mercenary Captain, instead as a foot soldier whom earns wages and promotions the more you prove yourself in that Lord's battles.
With the addition of Mount & Blade: Warband, the multiplayer aspect drew in an even greater audience to an already great game. It wasn't particularly how I imagined it, I was hoping for the Campaign to be made co-operative or with the ability for others to drop into your game. Instead it took the form of several modes, Deathmatches (if I have to explain what a Deathmatch is at this point, you've made some serious mistakes with your gaming life), Battles, which are much larger Deathmatches with no respawns (YOLO, right?), the typical Capture The Flags and the like but, the mode in which the game shines for me is Siege Mode.
It's simple enough, one team defends a castle, and the other has to capture it (come on, you know sieges work, you aren't stupid). I love this mode because, if you're the defender, it often seems to be a desperate melee to hold the besiegers away from the small area they need to capture and as the attackers it is a tense, often time's gradual, push to even get inside the castle gates or to take any significant patch of the walls and, this is the hard part, hold it long enough for those your team lost in taking it to respawn.
Each match takes place between two factions, which are chosen by the voting majority, and allows you to spawn as a soldier of that faction. For example, if the battle was between the Nords (a faction formed out of Vikings, for the most part) and the Khergit Khanate (a horde of Mongolian wannabes) you could spawn as a Nordic Huskarl, Archer or Scout on one side, or a Khergit Lancer or Horse Archer, each with different weapons, armour and mounts to choose from.
You start off with an allocated set of funds which you use to redeem your starting equipment therefore, the better equipment you have, the more money it will cost you to respawn with the same equipment. Therefore, the only way to maintain your quality of equipment, or even upgrade it, is to gain more money via completing objectives and killing your enemies.
Unfortunately, there are no ranks or stats which carry over, so every game you will start off with a minimal amount of funds, compared to the amount you may have ended the previous game with, which kind of gives you the feeling that you are just killing time, rather than working towards any particular goal.
Fire & Sword was, for me at least, a disappointment. I was excited for the addition of firearms and a few of the extra features which were brought in, like the ability to build caravan forts though, practically, (they were never of any use to me), but they weren't enough to hold my attention. I also found the Campaign map bland compared to the Calradia I had loved for the last few iterations of the game. I played the game for a few hours, but I uninstalled it quickly and returned to my true love within the series, Warband.
If I had to recommend any single game of the series, it would definitely be Warband, perhaps with the addition of downloading the Native Expansion, just to add a little more variation to the gameplay. It can be a little unforgiving, especially for new players, and the graphics may look like Taleworlds put as much effort into the textures as I did in my last exam, but don't let that perturb you. The game is definitely worth a go, so at least download the trial, which still gives you full access to the game, but you can only play with a low-level character, but if you have any sense at all, you'll become just as obsessed as I am over the series.

Street performance is how she pays the bills, and how she made her name. But she's only at the beginning of what's sure to be a long journey. Her musical talent is that next-level, special sauce kind of thing. And for all the people walking around down there, if they hear something, stop, and pay attention, they might see something really special. She may not have an album out yet, but rest assured that few can do it better.
Slim Freedom was all-in with music as early as three. Coming from a church family, Slim's spirituality is as apparent as her musical talent. Her father was a guitarist, and Slim will tell you it was always going to run in the family. She found her way to it on her own, just like she knew she would - the first concert she saw was at a church retreat, and it gripped her.
"I know it sounds kinda like, ahhhh, a little cheesey, but they was lit, they was honestly giving their whole soul to it. That was the first concert I've ever been to. To see the live music, like all the vibrations pulsating out of the speakers, and then a decent crowd? In the lights, I was like 'man, this is crazy'. And I just envisioned myself up on that stage."
That rapturous love of music never left her. For Slim, it's all live, and she'll find an audience and stage wherever, whenever. And what's incredible about Slim Freedom is her ability to bring it, anywhere and anytime. In the loud, hectic madness of a Chicago subway, Slim has people straining to hear over the noise, missing the train, posting up, and for good reason.
"When I'm in the tunnels, it's balls to the wall, this is me. You rip off your metaphorical clothes and you just get naked like this is what I got at the moment, this is everything that I have. I'm presenting it to you, and I hope you enjoy it. Whatever I'm feeling, if I'm happy, if I'm excited about something, in love, if I'm down or brokenhearted and depressed."
That powerful, emotive touch is something different. It's why she went viral, with a video of her performing Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" filmed by a passer boy at the Washington Blue Line. Just south of 8 million views, reposted by everyone from Snoop Dogg to Usher to George Lopez, it was her major break as an artist. Once 8 million people saw what Slim Freedom did, things started moving fast. She performed her first sold out show, was on the news, got a team around her. It's definitely a moment, but she came a long way from here.
Slim Freedom has been through a lot, choosing a name that evokes struggle. As a teenager Slim lost her older sister. In the years that followed, there were stints of time done here and there. There were some major lows. So when you hear that emotion in her voice, understand that it's coming from somewhere. Slim does the same, and processing that, her past, present, and future, requires reflection.
"If society's hard gonna be hard on you, then you need to build yourself up by being yourself, and by being a better you each chance you get...It's who you are on the inside, and the only one that can examine that is the great divine. I don't know you, you don't know me. I don't know myself! But I'm learning...do the damn thing, be who I am, just be me with more goodness in me. That only comes with time, with learning."
Her favorite color is green, representing growth. Her music reflects that, completely emotionally honest, tangibly so. You hear it during those marathon performances down in the subway that demand your attention, even for the moment. That second where they hesitate and start watching is what Slim lives for, because she inspires them. It's what "Landslide" captured so well. Strangers waiting to get on the train and go home and Slim Freedom stops time. The video showed a connection visibly form between her and the audience, the moment Slim Freedom lives for.
"Just a small glance, they might be intrigued and that inspires me, it's some sort of beautiful connection. It's a seed, and they're so beautiful. People don't understand how valuable it is for seeds to be planted, good seeds, of hope, love, peace, you know."
Slim finds herself in a unique situation now. Nothing can be taken for granted, but her musical ability, wisdom, and empathy give her the potential to connect with even more listeners now. The seeds are being planted. Slim Freedom emanates light, goodness - here's hoping she turns this city into a forest.

Economic situation unchanged in spite of shifts
Although the economic situation at the end of May was the same as at the end of April, there were a number of shifts within the Business Cycle Tracer. The net result of these changes was that all improvements and downswings balanced each other out. The heart of the scatter in the Tracer is almost in the centre of the diagram. In May, eight of the fifteen indicators are still below their long-term average.
The volume of the gross domestic product (GDP) was 3.2 percent higher in the first quarter of 2011 than in the same quarter one year previously. This is the highest growth rate in three years. Taking calendar and seasonal effects into account, the economy grew by 0.9 percent in the first quarter compared to the preceding quarter.
Consumers remained unaltered gloomy in May. Confidence among manufacturers deteriorated marginally. Providers of business services were slightly less optimistic than in April.
The capital market interest rate climbed 0.3 percentage points in April and reached 3.7 percent. April's inflation rate was 2.1 percent, slightly higher than in March. Selling prices in manufacturing industry were nearly 12 percent higher than twelve months previously.
Seasonally adjusted unemployment dropped marginally to 392 thousand in April. The number of job vacancies and the number of hours worked in temp jobs increased further in the first quarter, but there were slightly fewer jobs of employees than in the fourth quarter of 2010.

1) If given the opportunity, would you take up scuba diving as a sport or profession?
2) Would you accept an invitation to go scuba diving in the open ocean?
3) What should I have said when the Dive Master informed me just before entering the water, that "we were going to dive to 80 feet, enter a cave, go to the back of it and exit out a lava tube …. and, There are usually 2 white tip sharks that hang out in the area." Should I have jumped in the water and trust that I'll be OK? Or should I have said "no way!" What would you have done?
diving is not for me
I think it is interesting, but definitely not for me
I am having flashbacks to that movie "Open Water"..
But of course you must remember that was just a move, I personally have been diving since the late 80's and still enjoy open water and enclosed water diving. This is a sport that is suitable for many people.

SHALVEY & BELLAIRE's New Apprenticeship Graduate: EOIN MARRON
Artist Eoin Marron tried to break into comic books for five years, but a short apprenticeship with Declan Shalvey has helped him push to become a full-time comics pro with some ambitious plans for the future.
Marron is currently working on a four-issue arc of BOOM! Studios' Sons of Anarchy: Redwood Original which began in January, with plans for his first American convention in April and another five-issue work-for-hire project already contracted.
Newsarama spoke with Marron about his career, his art style, and how his apprenticeship with Shalvey helped him transition from being an aspiriting comic artist who moonlighted as a cleaner, printer, and barista to becoming an actual full-time comics professional.
Newsarama: Eoin, what are you working on today? What's on your drawing board?
Eoin Marron: Right now I'm inking three pages I'm doing for the Bartkira project- which is a crazy, gigantic Akira X Simpsons crossover Ryan Humphrey started online years ago. The first five volumes are finished, and the sixth, final volume that I'm contributing to is just about done.
Nrama: Your first major comics run is underway with BOOM!'s Sons of Anarchy: Redwood Original. How'd you get connected for this, and what do you thing makes your work fit with this tv show-turned comic book?
Marron: I was approached by assistant editor Matthew Levine last year to try out for a creator-owned gig at BOOM! - I didn't get it, but they kept me on their radar. Months later Sons of Anarchy: Redwood Original 's artist Luca Pizzari was leaving after the first arc, and recommended me to Matt as his replacement. I did some character studies plus a test page and got the gig!
As for suitability, I think I've always been attracted to grounded, realistic setting and stories. I love drawing anything with a bit of grit, rawness and character drama to it, and the Sons of Anarchy world is that to a tee.
Nrama: You're doing four issues of this, so what do you have planned next?
Marron: I'm taking a short break between sequential work to do some commissions and prep stuff in the run up to C2E2, the first of four cons I'll be tabling at this year. I also just lined up my next work-for-hire project too in the form of a five-issue miniseries at another publisher, hopefully more on that soon!
Nrama: I came to know you because you apprenticed for Declan Shalvey for the past year. What was that experience like?
Marron: This is off the record, right? Nah it was fantastic! I didn't realistically consider a career in comics until I started apprenticing with Declan, and I'm confident that I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for him (and Jordie!). To practice and work alongside two of the industry's most prolific, hard-working and sought-after professionals once a week for a year is the opportunity of a lifetime. A serious crash-course in learning.
Nrama: This is Declan's first time doing it official - how did he do?
Marron: Best way I can illustrate that is with the fact that I went from amateur hobbyist doing short stories on the side while working full-time in a bar to industry-standard and working full-time for an American publisher in only seven months!
I had decent drawing skills but I wasn't doing it consistently enough to really learn anything until I left my job and started the apprenticeship. Dec was especially helpful with some of the more technical aspects of comics like page sizings, how to promote yourself, portfolio preparations etc. He was also critical and honest when he needed to be, and has supported me all the way since. So not too shabby!
Nrama: You went to art school - how was this apprenticeship different?
Marron: The apprenticeship was a lot more focused than school. Couple that with me being a naive young gobsh*te at the time who didn't even know what area he wanted to work in, and it'd be safe to assume most of it went in one ear and out the other. I only really adopted a proper work ethic and attitude in the non-art related jobs I took in the years after, and was thankfully able to apply that to my craft.
Nrama: Declan tells me you do a lot of your work in the inking stages. For those not versed in comics art creation, can you tell us about your methods for that and not laying it all out in the pencilling/blueline stages?
Marron: I follow a process more or less the same as Declan's; I start with tiny, super accurate thumbnails (or layouts) where I do all the problem solving. I blow these up to A3 scale on Photoshop and lightbox them before going in with pencils. Unfortunately, my pencils are very sloppy (I draw with a heavy hand and boards are a lead hazard), so I try to just nail down the basic outlines, shapes and perspective. All the detail and rendering (textures, shadows and effects) will be done when I ink - which is the area I'm most confident in. When I'm working to a tight deadline I want to cut out as much of the secondary stuff in pencils, focus on the construction and cut straight to what the reader is actually gonna see on the page.
Nrama: So, big goals - what are they for comic books?
Marron: To be honest I didn't even think I'd be doing this even two years ago, so I haven't really though that far ahead! I'm still only finding my feet, so I'm happy to continue on work-for-hire comics for the next while, boosting my profile, earning a living and understanding more about this craft.
Nrama: Do you have a dream project (or projects) you'd like to do?
Marron: Like everyone I have a list of creators I'd love to work with at some point down the line (you'll hafta wrangle them out of me in person over a few pints), but I'd love to do a big war epic in the vein of Charley's War or Fury: My War Gone By. I grew up on British Commando Comics when those and The Dandy and Beano were all the sequential goodness I could get a hold of, so it's been in my blood ever since! That and a pointlessly grimdark, vegan Desperate Dan reboot.

Where do I start? Well first of all - I have officially made it through 'wedding season'!!! And I'm still alive! It has been a VERY busy, but VERY fun and rewarding couple of months! And what a finale - Rebecca and Zak are awesome. I can't really think of a better word (that might have something to do with the fact that it's almost 2 am). I was able to meet and get to know them a little better when I did their engagement session back in May. Rebecca had told me about a few of their plans and I was so excited to see everything put together. Well let me tell you it was even better than I had imagined! I LOVED the details and little touches that were put into everything. If you haven't realized already - I am COMPLETELY OBSESSED with details. AHH... I love details. LOVE them! I love when the personality of the couple is put into the decorations and the overall style of the wedding.
This was probably the most relaxed I have ever been at a wedding. When I arrived, I walked into the bride's area to find Rebecca calmly watching tv with her sister, joking around and having fun. Zak was outside working on finishing touches with other family members. I never once saw either of them any less calm than this. And that goes for the rest of the family members too. Everyone was super nice, fun and flexible. I loved it.
The ceremony took place up on a huge hill overlooking the mountain scenery. Rebecca had wanted there to be the least amount of civilization as possible. Everyone was shuttled up the hill on hayrides pulled by tractors. The seats at the ceremony were bails of hay with linen on them. They were married underneath an amazingly beautiful pine arbor the Zak built. There was a small band playing... fans for guests. It was perfect.
Then at the reception there were games: horseshoes, disk golf, corn hole and more. Delicious pork, fresh fruit, chicken and pasta salad were served. Daisies in mason jars were the center pieces. Then of course there was fireworks, sparklers and these awesome things I had never heard of - biodegradable floating lanterns of a sort... I'm getting carried away here. Basically it was what I would re-do my wedding to be like. It was beautiful, intimate and fun.
Here is a very lengthy preview - if you could even call it that. Congratulations again to Becca and Zak! Hope you two are having a blast on your honeymoon!!!

Online dating is a becoming a pretty big thing in studentville now, so it's only natural there's going to be a few weird and wacky anecdotes.
Fortunately, one such site ShagAtUni.com has leaked its 10 weirdest requests and stories from students during the past 12 months so we can share for your pleasure.
Shag At Uni Launches Search To Find UK's Horniest Student ShagAtUni.com 'Particularly Popular With Oxford Females,' Says Founder
Watch out people, there's some weirdos out there...
1. One clearly homesick 18 year old fresher at Leicester University felt compelled to message the site's Facebook account in order to request help with finding more girls that would help him cook, shop and clean his flat. He also sent in a picture of his mother in order to highlight the characteristics of his ideal girl.
2. A 20 year old student from Bath University tweeted the Shag at Uni account about a man she had met up with the night before for a casual meeting. However, after discovering he had exaggerated about the size of his manhood, she left his flat and demanded that the site check the size of each male member's "equipment" in order to make sure she wasn't duped again.
3. One particularly studious site member wrote in to ask whether or not the Shat at Uni team could tailor the website in order to highlight the average grades and predicted degree results of his potential dates. His reason for doing so? He claimed he was looking for an intelligent wife on the site and didn't want to marry, or have intercourse with, someone who would finish with 2:2 degree or below.
4. Whilst enjoying dinner with another Shag at Uni member, one student in Leeds was a little taken aback when her date suddenly stood up and deserted in her a nice restaurant without explanation. He later messaged her to reveal his disgust at the fact she had put ketchup on her fillet steak, as well as his phobia of the condiment.
Story continues below gallery..
5. One 19 year old from London Metropolitan University made it known to the site that he was disappointed with the presence of body hair during one hook-up with another member, especially as she had previously informed him she undertook "regular bikini waxes".
6. One individual studying in Aberdeen got in touch with the site via email looking for fellow animal lovers after she met up with one student for some fun earlier this year. She was left disappointed after he refused to let her dog and two cats remain in the bedroom during their alone time, as the idea of them watching "freaked him out" too much.
7. A male student from a university in Southampton emailed the website to inform the team that he felt he was "far too good looking" for the female members on the site; using this as a reason to defend the fact he'd had no interest from other members. He explained that people must have felt "intimidated" by his good looks.
8. A 21-year-old female student from Liverpool sent a message to the Shag At Uni team on Facebook to complaint that her sex life had become "too good" since signing up and that her studies were suffering as a result.
9. A fresher at the University of Birmingham sent in an email to ask that all members of the website stated any allergies on their profile pages. He explained that when using chocolate body paint with his "date" for the evening, she ended up suffering an allergic reaction to the product and he had to drive her to A&E.
10. One male student from the University of York said that a girl he'd met through the site came round to his halls for a "night of passion", but he quickly asked her to leave after they were undressing and he realised that her dress was from a supermarket clothing range and not a designer collection.

Selamat siang, Sanur!
After a nice Easter breakfast in the Warung Pantai at the beach, we started our trip to Sanur. It took us around one hour to go there. We bought our second sarong in a small shop and then went to the beach. The sand was fortunately white and the water crystal-blue. Standing near the restaurants, you receive a beautiful view through the palm leaves. Besides you can see little colourful boats in red, yellow and blue. The wind is very refreshing. Walking along the white sand barefoot is very relaxing. Laying on one of the chairs and burning in the sun, you can see Nusa Lembongan far away. On the right, there is the Harbour and JimbaranBay. For lunch we had a very cheap sandwich with two smoothies for 30.000 Rupiah. At around 4 o'clock the sky became darker and darker. It looked really dangerous as the sea was rough, too, then. We started driving when we felt the first rain drops on our skin. Fortunately we were faster than the dark clouds. We arrived just on time before the rain started.
In the evening we went to the Bening Spa on the Jalan Batubelig. There is a traditional Balinese massage for only 50.000 Rupiah per hour (3 Euro). Although the spa looked small from outside, it is actually huge in the back. Before entering the massage room, our feet were washed by two friendly women. The balinese massage was very relaxing as there was a tasty smell of jasmine.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening we went to the Italian restaurant "Ultimo" in Seminyak. This is the village where heels are high and life is good. A free soft-drink as well as free bread was offered to us. We took Bruscetta as an appetizer – how huge it was! – and pasta with vegetables and cream. There was a fresh red rose on the table and a candle. So we had a candle-light-dinner for 100.000 Rupiah. Selamat makan!

What is continuous integration (CI)?
CI is a tool-supported process which checks the source code to automatically compile and install the complete solution onto a system. Tests check whether the system is functioning properly. Errors will immediately reveal problems not detected in the development phase.
What sets projects apart that have adopted a CI process?
These projects benefit from an additional virtual team member—the build server. This builds and automatically integrates the entire source code and acts as a neutral party. If the integration test fails, this can then be easily traced back to the change in the source code. Thus, the developer will receive direct feedback on the components to be revised.
Does the test need to cover a significant amount of the solution?
Not necessarily, because there are direct benefits even without tests because releases can be built and installed with the same quality and without delays caused by holiday leave. Also, tools can be used for static code analysis. They remove careless errors and show incipient structural weaknesses in the code early on.
How much test coverage is required? Can you specify a percentage?
In many projects, no more than 10 per cent. The key question is deciding which 10 per cent of the code should be covered. This is where the ABC analysis helps because it classifies all pieces of code into three classes according to their criticality. The discussion of whether enough tests have been created is never conclusively decided in a project. More interesting is the question of how much time is scheduled for creating tests. My proposal: 50% of planned expenditures should be allocated for the implementation and maintenance of tests. If you are planning and iterating in the scrum method, the estimate should be doubled for each feature. This might be scary, but it's realistic.
CI has been around for over 15 years. Has it become old hat?
Yes. The tools are there and they are very good. But the effort and expense required to perform CI still has to be justified each time. Our customers love the capabilities of the tools, but don't always use them to purpose and over a longer period. In our consultation work, we always have to help our customers do the necessary rethinking and draw attention to hidden barriers. CI and test automation must be built and maintained by a dedicated project team and you have to continually work to keep up enthusiasm and belief in the team and project management. The architecture must be testable, the code design has to support testing. If you don't think about testing while programming, you will encounter insurmountable problems when writing the test.
Is there no alternative to CI?
Yes. Because even if I have an experienced team that has worked long term on a system and its continuous development, I have to support them as best as possible and protect them from the consequences of any potential errors. And it's becoming increasingly rare for teams to work together continuously over the long haul.
Am I luring teams and management into a false sense of security through automated quality assurance?
I don't think teams become reckless just because tests will take care of finding blunders. It is certainly one of the advantages of still being able to correct architectural decisions late in the development process. This is what makes methods agile. I can achieve this only with the safety net of automated testing and continuous integration.
Thank you!
