         <content:encoded><![CDATA[Inspired by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.hedonistjive.com/2014/04/2014-nhl-playoff-predictions-this-time.html">my friend Jay</a>, whose predictions are wildly biased in favor of the Sharks, here are my own predictions for the 2014 NHL playoffs...
<h3>Eastern Conference Round 1</h3>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Boston Bruins</strong> over Detroit Red Wings (in 7) - The Red Wings are badly outmatched here, but it's worth noting they won the regular season series, and they have a coach who will make Boston work very hard to win this one.</li>
	<li><strong>Tampa Bay Lighting</strong> over Montreal Canadiens (in 4) - Tampa will frustrate Montreal with stingy defensive hockey and a knack for capitalizing on mistakes.</li>
	<li><strong>Pittsburgh Penguins</strong> over Columbus Blue Jackets (in 5) - Pittsburgh handily won the regular season series, and I wish I could say that the playoffs would be different, but Columbus doesn't have what it takes to tackle the Pens.</li>
	<li><strong>Philadelphia Flyers</strong> over New York Rangers (in 6) - The Flyers will just barely overcome their MSG curse and steal home ice advantage. They will rely on scoring depth, since the Rangers will mostly neutralize Giroux.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Western Conference Round 1</h3>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Anaheim Ducks</strong> over Dallas Stars (in 6) - I admit I know almost nothing about the Dallas Stars, so this prediction is based solely on how hard it was for teams to beat Anaheim at home this season.</li>
	<li><strong>Los Angeles Kings</strong> over San Jose Sharks (in 7) - This series has a hate factor that rivals Philly-NYR. The main problem with the Sharks is teal, and teal teams don't win championships. If they wear their black sweaters, they'll push this series to the distance, but it will be won (and lost) by the goalies.</li>
	<li><strong>Colorado Avalanche</strong> over Minnesota Wild (in 7) - Minnesota is another team I know almost nothing about. So, uh... Colorado.</li>
	<li><b>St. Louis Blues</b> over Chicago Blackhawks (in 7) - The Blues started to show cracks at the end of the season, but lucky for them the Hawks are pretty banged up.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Semifinals</h3>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Boston Bruins</strong> over Tampa Bay Lighting (in 5) - The Detroit series will have taken a toll, but Boston won't let the Lightning capitalize on it</li>
	<li><strong>Philadelphia Flyers</strong> over Pittsburgh Penguins (in 6) - The Flyers have shown they can neutralize Crosby and Malkin. They just have to figure out Letang and Neal.</li>
	<li><strong>St. Louis Blues</strong> over Colorado Avalanche (in 6) - The Blues will be happy to see Colorado after making it past Chicago in round one</li>
	<li><strong>Anaheim Ducks</strong> over Los Angeles Kings (in 7) - The Kings might not score any goals against Anaheim in this series, but they won't allow many either.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Conference Finals</h3>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Boston Bruins</strong> over Philadelphia Flyers (in 5) - Sadly, this is where the Flyers season ends. They just don't hate Boston like they hate New York and Pittsburgh. And they don't have the offense, defense, or goaltending required to beat the Bruins without a healthy dose of the hate sauce.</li>
	<li><strong>Anaheim Ducks</strong> over St. Louis Blues (in 7) - This will be a war of attrition, with about three goals scored during the series, and a lot of overtimes.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Stanley Cup Finals</h3>
<strong>Boston Bruins</strong> over Anaheim Ducks - The Ducks will be running on fumes after battling St. Louis for seven games and a bunch of overtimes. Boston on the other hand, will have a couple days to chomp at the bit. Fucking Boston will add another championship to the city's trophy case.

         <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>, Today at work I had one of those lengthy, impassioned discussions with the senior leadership of my company - the sort of discussion that makes me love working at a startup. We talked about our wishes for the product and our worries about where it is now, <b>Diclofenac pictures</b>, <b>Diclofenac images</b>, and we ended up with a list of urgent stuff that I suggested would take about ten months to accomplish.</p>
<p>"Really?" asked the CEO, <b>Diclofenac brand name</b>.  <b>Buy cheap Diclofenac</b>, "I thought some of this stuff would be easy."</p>
<p>I reflected on this for a while after the meeting, trying to think of ways to describe why even the easy stuff takes much longer than she might think, <b>buy cheap Diclofenac no rx</b>.  <b>Buy generic Diclofenac</b>, A kind of flow chart started to develop in my head. At the beginning of the flow was the request for some "easy" new feature - something, say, that a business person could describe in three sentences, <b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>. Then my imaginary flow chart split into basically two possible approaches for getting it done:</p>
<p>In one approach, <b>purchase Diclofenac online</b>, <b>Diclofenac price</b>, someone (me, at my company) writes a detailed spec - enough so that an engineer knows exactly what the feature needs to do, <b>australia, uk, us, usa</b>, <b>Order Diclofenac online overnight delivery no prescription</b>, and how to know if it succeeds in doing that. Writing such a spec is not done in a vacuum, <b>where to buy Diclofenac</b>.  <b>Diclofenac no rx</b>, Even with the "easy" features, there is some back and forth with the business, <b>Diclofenac overnight</b>, <b>My Diclofenac experience</b>, as well as the engineers. Then there's often some work the visual designer has to do to make sure it looks right, <b>Diclofenac alternatives</b>.  <b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>, All of this can easily take a couple of weeks - especially since working on this spec isn't exactly my only job - and that's without any concept testing or customer input.  <b>No prescription Diclofenac online</b>, So, a couple weeks of spec-writing happen, <b>Diclofenac trusted pharmacy reviews</b>, <b>Is Diclofenac safe</b>, then engineering begins. Let's imagine an engineer has estimated that the feature will take him three days to build, <b>cheap Diclofenac no rx</b>.  <b>Rx free Diclofenac</b>, He's not necessarily factoring in the meetings and other distractions that will disrupt is engineering time, and he's definitely not factoring in the five bugs he'll have to urgently fix, <b>Diclofenac wiki</b>.  <b>Buy Diclofenac from canada</b>, All of this can conspire to push a three-day feature beyond the cutoff for the sprint it's supposed to be a part of, and if it winds up overflowing into the next sprint, <b>buy no prescription Diclofenac online</b>, <b>Diclofenac from canada</b>, even by a day, that's three more weeks that customers will have to wait, <b>purchase Diclofenac online no prescription</b>. This is how an "easy" feature can take two months to find its way into the product - not from the time it was conceived, but from the time that work actually started, <b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>.  <b>Diclofenac schedule</b>, In my flow chart, I labelled this approach "getting it done right."</p>
<p>I called the other approach "getting it done soon, <b>doses Diclofenac work</b>, <b>Online buying Diclofenac</b>, " and the main difference is in the spec stage. In this approach, <b>Diclofenac dangers</b>, <b>Comprar en línea Diclofenac, comprar Diclofenac baratos</b>, I don't write a very detailed spec, there's not much upfront back and forth with people, <b>Diclofenac steet value</b>, <b>Diclofenac street price</b>, and I don't get the visual designer involved. I write down just enough so that the engineer can start to work, <b>buy Diclofenac online cod</b>, <b>Diclofenac class</b>, and I make myself available to the engineer while he's building the thing, so that we can flesh out the requirements together on the fly, <b>Diclofenac no prescription</b>.</p>
<p>Once I laid these two approaches out in my head, I realized I'd basically described waterfall and agile.  <b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>, I also realized that there's a huge misconception among business people about agile development, which is that it's faster than waterfall. "Getting it done soon" is not a good way to describe it at all. You might release something sooner than you would with waterfall, but then you inevitably have to keep building on it and enhancing it, release after release. Not to mention all the new bugs you now have to fix. Bottom line is, the whole thing is 'done' in about the same amount of time with either approach.</p>
<p>I should also mention that this version of agile is far from optimal, <b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>. Even with agile, you should have well-written user stories that include good success criteria before engineering begins, and there should be a collaboration with the developers along the way, instead of just a handoff of requirements.</p>
<p>I thought about all this on my way home from work today, and after I got home I read an amazing couple of blog posts one of our engineers sent me:</p>
<p>The first is, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.hut8labs.com/coding-fast-and-slow.html" title="Coding, Fast and Slow: Developers and the Psychology of Overconfidence">Coding, Fast and Slow: Developers and the Psychology of Overconfidence</a> by someone name Dan Milstein. There are so many nuggets of insight in this post, I won't attempt to summarize it. It's a total must-read if you want a wise perspective on why stuff takes as long as it takes, and much longer than anyone thinks it will.  I like it better than <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.quora.com/Engineering-Management/Why-are-software-development-task-estimations-regularly-off-by-a-factor-of-2-3">this Quora answer to the same question</a> <b>Buy Diclofenac Without Prescription</b>, , which is also fantastic.</p>
<p>The other post, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.hut8labs.com/no-deadlines-for-you.html" title="No Deadlines For You. Software Dev Without Estimates, Specs or Other Lies">No Deadlines For You. Software Dev Without Estimates, Specs or Other Lies</a>, is Milstein's (sort of) solution to the problem. I like to think I follow his strategy in the sense that I have a compulsion to make sure I fully understand the problem we're trying to solve before I go too far down any solution path. But my way of pushing things back upstream to the 'problem' too often feels like pushback. For me, Milstein's post provides a good template for asking the same kinds of questions while keeping things positive.</p>
