A giant freezer used by frozen food firms is set to bring in more business as it expands in size.
Ardo UK is spending £4m on making its cold store 20% bigger.
The fruit and veg producer, based in Charing, makes more money by storing food for companies bringing in frozen goods from mainland Europe.
Once the work is complete, its capacity will increase from 19,000 pallets to 23,200.
Ardo UK's supply chain director Jon Barnes said: "Our cold store is just off the M20 and close to the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel, making us an attractive location for companies bringing in frozen goods from mainland Europe.
"Although cold storage is not our core business, it is an important additional source of income that helps make sure we remain a financially sustainable business."
As well as the increased freezer space, the development will include new loading docks able to accommodate double-decker trailers.
Ardo UK was named Frozen Food Manufacturer of the Year in 2013.
It opened its current site in Charing in 2000, expanding it in 2010 with a new factory, packaging store and cold store extension.
The new development is scheduled to be finished by October this year.
Acoustic fencing and low level lighting will be used minimise light and noise disruption.

Health A-Z
Fibroids - Fibroids Glossary
allergic reaction
You have an allergic reaction when your immune system overreacts to a substance that is normally harmless. You can be allergic to particles in the air you are breathing, like pollen (which causes hay fever) or to chemicals on your skin, like detergents (which can cause a rash). People can also have an allergic reaction to drugs, like penicillin.
If you have an allergy to something (such as pollen or a medicine), your body always overreacts to it. The reaction happens because your immune system (your body's system for fighting infection) is too sensitive to it.
Anaemia is when you have too few red blood cells. Anaemia can make you get tired and breathless easily. It can also make you look pale. Anaemia can be caused by a number of different things, including problems with your diet, blood loss and some diseases.
These medicines are used to help your immune system fight infection. There are a number of different types of antibiotics that work in different ways to get rid of bacteria, parasites, and other infectious agents. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.
Arthritis is when your joints become inflamed, making them stiff and painful. There are different kinds of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type. It happens when the cartilage at the end of your bones becomes damaged and then starts to grow abnormally. Rheumatoid arthritis happens because your immune system attacks the lining of your joints.
Your bladder is the hollow organ at the top of your pelvis that stores urine. It is similar to a balloon, only with stronger walls. It fills up with urine until you go to the toilet.
blood clot
A blood clot forms when the cells in blood clump together. Sometimes this happens to stop you from bleeding if you've had an injury. But it can also happen on the inside of your blood vessels, even when you haven't had an injury. A blood clot inside a blood vessel is called a thrombus.
caesarean section
A caesarean section is an operation to take a baby out of a mother's womb. The surgeon makes a cut through her abdomen to take the baby out. You have this if there's a risk that a normal delivery through your vagina would cause harm to you or your baby.
The cervix is a piece of tissue that sits between a woman's womb and her vagina. It has a small opening in it that gets much bigger when a woman is having a baby.
A cyst is a sac or cavity that develops under your skin and is filled with fluid. Cysts are benign, which means that they are not cancerous.
Diarrhoea is when you have loose, watery stools and you need to go to the toilet far more often than usual. Doctors say you have diarrhoea if you need to go to the toilet more than three times a day.
fallopian tubes
Fallopian tubes are the two tubes that come out of the top of a woman's womb. They carry eggs from the ovaries to the womb.
If you have a fever, your body temperature is above 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). With a fever you often get other symptoms, such as shivering, headache or sweating. A fever is usually caused by an infection.
general anaesthetic
You may have a type of medicine called a general anaesthetic when you have surgery. It is given to make you unconscious so you don't feel pain when you have surgery.
heart attack
Doctors call a heart attack an acute myocardial infarction (or acute MI). This is the name for the damage that occurs to the heart muscle if it isn't getting enough blood and oxygen because a branch of the coronary arteries is blocked. During a heart attack, you may have pain or heaviness over your chest, and pain, numbness or tingling in your jaw and left arm.
hormone replacement therapy
Hormone replacement therapy (also called HRT) is given to women after the menopause to replace the oestrogen (the main female hormone) that is no longer made by their ovaries. It can be given either as oestrogen alone or as a combination of oestrogen and progesterone (another female hormone). It is useful to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, and to prevent brittle bone disease (osteoporosis). But there are concerns that it may increase the risk of breast cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
Hormones are chemicals that are made in certain parts of the body. They travel through the bloodstream and have an effect on other parts of the body. For example, the female sex hormone oestrogen is made in a woman's ovaries. Oestrogen has many different effects on a woman's body. It makes the breasts grow at puberty and helps control periods. It is also needed to get pregnant.
A hysterectomy is an operation to take out a woman's womb (also called her uterus). Sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed as well.
You get an infection when bacteria, a fungus, or a virus get into a part of your body where it shouldn't be. For example, an infection in your nose and airways causes the common cold. An infection in your skin can cause rashes such as athlete's foot. The organisms that cause infections are so tiny that you can't see them without a microscope.
Inflammation is when your skin or some other part of your body becomes red, swollen, hot, and sore. Inflammation happens because your body is trying to protect you from germs, from something that's in your body and could harm you (like a splinter) or from things that cause allergies (these things are called allergens). Inflammation is one of the ways in which your body heals an infection or an injury.
Your intestine is a long tube that runs from your stomach to your rectum. Your intestine is divided into two parts: the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine helps your body absorb nutrients. The large intestine helps your body absorb water and other materials.
intrauterine device (IUD)
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a type of contraceptive. It is a small device made of copper or plastic, with threads at the end. These threads can be left in your vagina while the rest of the device sits in your womb (cervix). IUDs stop eggs sticking to your womb and growing.
local anaesthetic
A local anaesthetic is a painkiller that's used to numb one part of your body. You usually get local anaesthetics as injections.
When a woman stops having periods, it is called the menopause. This usually happens around the age of 50.
A miscarriage is when something happens before the 28th week of pregnancy that means the fetus does not survive.
MRI scan
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine uses a magnetic field to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body.
Osteoporosis is when your bones get too brittle. It happens if not enough new bone tissue is growing to keep bones strong. If you have osteoporosis, the bones in your body may break easily.
Women have two ovaries, one on each side of their womb. They are small glands that store eggs. Inside the ovaries are hundreds of thousands of pre-eggs, called follicles. Some of these grow into eggs.
Your pelvis is the area between your hips.
The placenta is an organ that grows in the womb during pregnancy. It joins the woman to the growing baby. The placenta provides the baby with oxygen, water and nutrients from the mother's blood. It also produces the hormones that are involved in pregnancy.
randomised controlled trials
Randomised controlled trials are medical studies designed to test whether a treatment works. Patients are split into groups. One group is given the treatment being tested (for example, an antidepressant drug) while another group (called the comparison or control group) is given an alternative treatment. This could be a different type of drug or a dummy treatment (a placebo). Researchers then compare the effects of the different treatments.
red blood cells
Red blood cells are the part of your blood that makes it red. Their main job is to carry oxygen from your heart and lungs to the tissues of your body. Once these cells unload oxygen, they pick up carbon dioxide. They take carbon dioxide back to your lungs so it can be breathed out of your body.
A feeling of relaxation and calm, or the act of creating a feeling of calm by administering a drug.
You have a stroke when the blood supply to a part of your brain is cut off. This damages your brain and can cause symptoms like weakness or numbness on one side of your body. You may also find it hard to speak if you've had a stroke.
systematic reviews
A systematic review is a thorough look through published research on a particular topic. Only studies that have been carried out to a high standard are included. A systematic review may or may not include a meta-analysis, which is when the results from individual studies are put together.
An ulcer is an open sore. Ulcers can happen in many parts of your body, such as in your stomach, and the skin of your legs, mouth, or genitals.
ultrasound probe
Ultrasound is a technique doctors use to create images of the organs in your body. An ultrasound probe is a device that lets the ultrasound machine focus on an area of your body. The ultrasound machine can then sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off parts of your body to create a picture.
Ultrasound is a tool doctors use to create images of the inside of your body. An ultrasound machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which are directed at an area of your body. The waves reflect off parts of your body to create a picture. Ultrasound is often used to see a developing baby inside a woman's womb.
urinary tract infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) happens when bacteria invade the walls of your urinary tract, which includes your kidneys, bladder and urethra. An uncomplicated UTI is one that involves your bladder and urethra, but not your kidneys. A complicated UTI involves your kidneys and can be harder to treat. Doctors may refer to a kidney infection as pyelonephritis.
This is the passage from a woman's womb (uterus) to the outside of her body.
X-rays are pictures taken of the inside of your body. They are made by passing small amounts of radiation through your body and then onto film.

Silicon Labs Launches Most Integrated Multiband Receiver Solution For Wheel-Tuned Radio Designs
Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today introduced the latest generation of the company's widely used analog-tuned, analog/digital-display (ATxD) multiband radio IC family. The new Si4825/27/36 AM/FM/SW receivers provide superior radio band coverage and a 16-pin SOIC package option that eases the design and manufacturing of ATxD radio products. The new Si48xx radio ICs provide an "all-in-one" single-chip receiver solution for tabletop and portable radios, stereos, mini/micro systems, boomboxes, clock radios, iPod docking stations, toy radios and many other consumer products containing wheel-tuned radios.
The wheel-tuned or "analog-tuned" multiband radio product market exceeds 115 million units per year, according to Silicon Labs estimates. More than 90 percent of all ATxD radios including products for the global export market are manufactured in China. A pioneer in RF-in-CMOS multiband receivers for the wheel-tuned radio market, Silicon Labs has now delivered three generations of single-chip receiver solutions that reduce the cost and complexity and simplify the manufacturing of radio products used by many millions of consumers worldwide.
Silicon Labs' new Si4825/27/36 receivers offer the same exceptional RF performance, unmatched integration in CMOS, bill of materials (BOM) and labor cost reduction, and ease of design and manufacturing as previous generations of Si48xx radio ICs. In addition, the new receivers use a single band to cover a wider frequency range for FM and SW bands, and they also support TV audio carrier reception in the China market. Additionally, the devices provide advanced audio conditioning for all signal environments, removing pops, clicks and loud static in challenging signal conditions.
The Si4825 mono-output, consumer-grade product and the Si4836 stereo-output, commercial-grade product are designed for the ATAD radio market. The Si4827 mono-output, consumer-grade product targets the ATDD radio market. Each receiver supports worldwide broadcast frequencies from 64-109 MHz in FM, 504-1750 kHz in AM and 2.3-28.5 MHz in shortwave (SW), enabling a single radio design based on the receivers to support all worldwide markets.

Cayuse Indians. A Waiilatpuan tribe formerly occupying the territory about the heads of Walla Walla, Umatilla, and Grande Ronde Rivers and from the Blue mountains to Deschutes River in Washington and Oregon. The tribe has always been closely associated with the neighboring Nez Percé and Walla Walla, and was regarded by the early explorers and writers as belonging to the same stock. So far as the available evidence goes, however, they must be considered linguistically independent. The Cayuse have always been noted for their bravery, and owing largely to their constant struggles with the Snake and other tribes, have been numerically weak. According to Gibbs there were few pure-blood Cayuse left in 1851, intermarriage, particularly with the Nez Percé, having been so prevalent that even the language was falling into disuse. In 1855 the Cayuse joined in the treaty by which the Umatilla Reservation was formed, and since that time have resided within its limits. Their number is officially reported as 404 in 1904; but this figure is misleading, as careful inquiry in 1902 failed to discover a single one of pure blood on the reservation and the language is practically extinct. The tribe acquired wide notoriety in the early days of the white settlement of the territory. In 1838 a mission was established among the Cayuse by Marcus Whitman at the site of the present town of Whitman, Walla Walla County, Washington. in 1847 smallpox carried off a large part of the tribe. The Cayuse, believing the missionaries to be the cause, attacked them, murdered Whitman and a number of others. and destroyed the mission. Owing to the confusion in the early accounts it is difficult to differentiate the Cayuse from the Nez Percé and Walla Walla, but there is no reason to suppose that in habits and customs they differed markedly from those tribes.

Fashion Friday: Spring into Style 2013
As a result of the owl and mustache fashion fads of the past few years, I have developed an idiosyncratic system to express my opinion about certain fashion trends. Most people say that they are "over" something when they don't like it, but I like use the converse as well. If I like something, I'm "under" it. As far as I know, I'm the only weirdo who explains my likes and dislikes this way, and now it's time to weigh in on the fashion trends of Spring 2013. Continue reading

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (WALA) Orange Beach police say 44-year old Taylor Colby from Murfreesboro, Tennessee was killed Saturday night while trying to cross Perdido Beach Boulevard, near the Caribe Resort.
It's the second pedestrian that's been hit by an alleged drunk driver along the Gulf Coast in eight days.
Scott Durrance, a nurse practitioner, witnessed Saturday night's accident.
"I could see his face was looking straight ahead and he got to the middle of the road. He didn't look left or right again he just continued to go straight without even pausing and we saw a truck coming. I looked out my window and saw him get hit," Durrance said.
Durrance and his friend Christopher Williams jumped out of their vehicle and tried to save Cobly's life.
The man Orange Beach police say was driving the vehicle that hit Colby, Danny Pylant, called 911.
"My friend called 911 as well and I went over and recessed him and started to do chest compressions but I knew immediately he was dead on impact," Durrance said.
Durance doesn't believe Colby suffered. He also added Pylant, wasn't driving erratically.
"The gentleman who was driving was in his lane and as you approach somebody you could tell he was pretty much going the same speed I was not excessive like I said in the lane," Durrance said.
Pylant was arrested and charged with DUI and criminally negligent homicide. Fox10 News went to his home today to get his side of the story but no one came to the door.
Spring Breaker killed
The case draws similarities to another crash 8 days ago, that killed a spring breaker in Gulf Shores.
19-year old Kasey Waychoff was walking along West Beach Boulevard, when police say she was hit by a drunk driver.
Justin Lott was arrested and charged with DUI, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of an accident.
He has since bonded out of jail and now has to wear an ankle monitor that shows investigators his location and blood-alcohol content.
Ken Grimes with the City of Orange Beach says Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are constantly working to improve walkways and bike paths.

BOSTON (June 6, 2012) — Former Simmons College basketball standout Kristen Roberts was recently inducted into the Simmons Athletics Hall of Fame during the annual "Evening of Champions" hosted by the Simmons College Department of Athletics May 8. The event gathers student athletes and other members of the Simmons community to be honored for exceptional contributions to the College and athletic and academic achievements.
Roberts, a member of the class of 2001, made an impact as soon as she joined the Simmons Basketball team in 1997 as a freshman. A four-year starter and two-year captain, Roberts played in 75 games during her Simmons career and amassed 753 points, placing her eighth on the program's all-time points list. She averaged 10 points per game during her career and is fourth on the Sharks all-time career rebounds list with 460 rebounds to her credit. Roberts is second on the list for all-time points scored in a single game; she scored 33 points in a 2000 game against Curry College. In addition, she holds the Simmons record for most free throws in a single game.
Roberts also was successful in the classroom. She received the Simmons Student-Athlete of the Year award during her college career for her outstanding achievement in the classroom and on the court. She went on to graduate cum laude with a double major in economics and mathematics. Roberts returned to Simmons to earn a master of arts in teaching in 2002.
Roberts worked as the assistant coach for the Simmons basketball team from 2001-2006, and she has worked at Wellesley High School as a mathematics teacher for the last 10 years. In 2008, she attended the Educator Leadership Institute and is now licensed to be a principal or assistant principal for grades 9-12.
Roberts continues to demonstrate all of the qualities Simmons values in student-athletes. The Simmons community is pleased to welcome her to the Athletics Alumnae Hall of Fame.
Simmons College (www.simmons.edu) is a nationally recognized private university located in the heart of Boston. It offers an undergraduate education for women, and renowned coeducational graduate programs in health sciences, education, liberal arts, social work, library and information science, and communications management, as well as the nation's first MBA program designed specifically for women.

Politics are the cause of food shortages
However, a fascinating article in The Sunday Times (business section) today points to the real cause – which is none of the above – and also underlines a salient but uncomfortable fact – "global food crisis" there may be, but there is actually no global food shortage.
The story in The Sunday Times is about rice...Behind this is a tale which verges on the surreal, going back to the early eighties (and perhaps before) when the United States was getting extremely concerned at its balance of trade deficit with Japan. By the late eighties, this had become politically highly contentious and had focused around reciprocal deals on the sale of US rice to Japan, as a way of compensating for the inflow of manufactured Japanese goods.
To cut a very long story short, in 1995, Japan eventually caved in to huge pressure and, under the aegis of the WTO "Uruguay Round", agreed to accept from the US some 770,000 tons of rice a year,...However, there was a slight problem. Japan was is self-sufficient in rice and there was no domestic market for US imports which, in any case were a different variety and regarded as inferior by Japanese consumers. Despite continued efforts of US growers to make their product more acceptable, only small quantities of the imported rice was used – and then only for manufacturing – or allowed to rot. The one thing Japan was not allowed to do was re-export the product.
As a result, Japan has built up a huge surplus of unused American rice, currently estimated at 1.5 million tons.....
The point that emerges from this is the cause of what turns out to be a "perceived" shortage is in fact an artificially induced phenomenon, arising entirely out of subsidy and trade distortions, overlaid with a heavy dose of politics.
And from that, the lessons are clear. If market mechanisms are allowed to work, agriculture is well able to feed the current world population, and accommodate population growth for the foreseeable future. The only thing standing in the way of that are the politicians. We do not have a food crisis – we have a political crisis.

I have decided to take a position as Program Manager at Microsoft to work on the Lab Management scenarios on the Visual Studio Testing & Lab Management team. This product team owns Microsoft Test Manager (which you can acquire in many editions including Visual Studio Test Professional, Visual Studio Premium, and Visual Studio Ultimate) as well as the testing & Lab Management scenarios of Team Foundation Server. Today is my first day at Microsoft and will be attending New Employee Orientation (NEO).
If you are not familiar with Lab Management, in a word – it is awesome for development and test teams. You can provision developer & test environments for use as you need them with tight integration back into the rest of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server. It is a feature of Team Foundation Server and you likely have all of the licenses that you need if you have MSDN subscriptions! That means no additional license costs to take advantage of this functionality as opposed to some other solutions on the market.
Here is a high-level diagram of how it works and I have a slide deck from my 4-hour end to end Testing Workshop which includes a section on Lab Management and how it fits into the overall picture available here: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=77DB794C0A4DFE0!23778
FYI – For those that may not understand the reference, I previously had a purple Microsoft badge (or a b-dash) as a Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Partner working closely with the product team. One receives a blue badge whenever they start on as a full-time employee.

Having been part of the Visual Studio ALM & TFS Microsoft MVP group for the last five years, I can honestly say that it is the best group of ALM colleagues in the world. They have been awesome to work with and I'm really excited about continuing to work with this same group. Each one of my MVP colleagues brings something different to the table but the one thing in common is that everyone has been an awesome advocate for customers of TFS and Visual Studio ALM products around the world. There is a deep interest in making things succeed and I know that I am better for it having been a part of the group.
I have enjoyed my time at Imaginet (and formerly Notion Solutions) as the ALM Practice Technical Lead along with Dave McKinstry. It's all because of all of the great people that I have worked with. Last year, Imaginet was honored with the Microsoft Partner of the Year award for Application Lifecycle Management. It was just a formal indication about how awesome the ALM group of colleagues is to work with but it is something I already knew.
I am extremely fortunate to have been able to reach so many Visual Studio ALM & TFS customers while I have have been in my consulting role. I am excited about taking that front-line experience and using it to drive further improvements into the product line. Lately, I have been leading our Build Center of Excellence (CoE) team as well and have learned a lot about providing builds as a service and virtual environments (Lab Management) as a service to internal engineering teams for customers. The team is doing some amazing stuff!
After my New Employee Orientation, my first trip as a Visual Studio ALM Program Manager is heading down to Orlando this year to work as a Microsoft booth staff member at TechEd North America 2012! I had already been planning to work at the booth as a Microsoft MVP. I won't be speaking like I did last year with Christophe but that makes it less stressful for me! I would love to meet up with you so please come by and we can talk about the product. I'm looking forward to hearing about what's working really well and what doesn't work very well for your team. I will be staffing the booth quite a bit over the week but feel free to get in touch with me if you would like my schedule closer to the event!
Take care!

Wow! The Release Candidate for Visual Studio 2012 and Team Foundation Server 2012 are now available on MSDN Subscriber Downloads! The final marketing names for the former Visual Studio "11" and TFS "11" (as codenames) have been announced with this announcement as well!
As Jason Zander mentioned, that means that the final RTM release will be sometime this calendar year! Check out the new logo too!
Visual Studio 2012 also received a face lift with added "energy" when compared to the Beta release. I think it is looking pretty sharp now!
I won't go into all of the details of each of the new features introduced in the Release Candidate since there are several folks that have done a great job. What I am a fan of that I'm super glad made it into the release is a new feature of Team Foundation Server 2012 when upgrading for enabling new features in team projects without having to immediately upgrade process templates for each existing team project. Ewald Hofman (former Microsoft MVP in Visual Studio ALM) was able to document this new feature in two great new blog posts:
Check out more coverage here:
There will not be an RC-specific version of the TFS 2012 Power Tools but the Beta release will continue to work with the new version.

I love learning new things and today I learned something new for Team Foundation Server. This one has perplexed me in the past and it's one of the areas that I just never dived down deep enough to try out. I'm more writing this blog post so I can search for this again when I come to this situation in the future!
Essentially, I wanted to remove some users from the built-in "Team Foundation Service Accounts" security group at the server-instance level. They are added whenever you add them in the "Administration Console Users" group in the TFS Administration Console. However, when you look at the built-in service accounts group using Team Explorer or the Administration Console, you'll notice that the dialog commands are disabled.
There are some side-effects for having real users in this security group so I wanted to remove them completely and leave only the actual TFS Service Account user. Some of those side effects are more pronounced in Team Foundation Server "11." No worries though – because a colleague tipped me at using the command-line tool for managing security, TFSSecurity.exe. It's a command-line tool that I actually rarely use and completely forget is available but it's super powerful. In our case, it was pretty easy for me to use the /g- switch which allows for removing a member from any security group including this built-in one.
>tfssecurity /g- "Team Foundation Service Accounts" n:DOMAIN\username /server:https://tfs.mycompanydomain.com/tfs
It works!

I'm absolutely a fan of SnagIt. It has a low cost and works super well for what it does! If you want to use SnagIt with Microsoft Test Manager and the new Feedback Client for Visual Studio "11" and Team Foundation Server "11" then you are in luck! By default, they both use MSPaint for editing screenshots but if you have SnagIt, you definitely want to use something more powerful to help you provide even better screenshots.
This one is easy. You'll want to open up the client (even if you aren't currently giving feedback) and then click the little gear icon at the top.
Next, you'll want to provide the path to the SnagIt Editor and then provide the command-line arguments which is just the filename placeholder for the screenshot. If you don't enable the checkbox for automatically opening the screenshot each time, don't worry because you can always double-click any screenshot in the feedback client to open the SnagIt Editor.
Whether you want to walk through the manual execution of a test case or use the new Exploratory Testing features of Microsoft Test Manager, you can use SnagIt to help you annotate screenshots here as well. It's a very similar and easy process as well. In this case, the gear icon is available at the bottom-right corner of the test runner window.
You'll then see a familiar dialog window to set the screenshot annotation options to SnagIt here as well.
The value propositions to me for being able to use SnagIt are the following.

I was reminded by someone that this is huge. It's something that hasn't really sunk-in for people following the new release of the Visual Studio family of products. It is a subtle thing that will really help people with adopting Visual Studio "11" without making the rest of the team adopt it -- even while it is in Beta & RC. Because we now have "round-tripping" of Visual Studio solutions & projects, we no longer need to "upgrade" a vast majority of the VS project types when you open a solution in Visual Studio "11." That means that a few people can install Visual Studio "11" Beta/RC/RTM without interfering with everyone else on the team. It allows for a rolling adoption across teams as each team member is ready which is a key adoption feature for this release.
This is a subtle but huge change in this next release that we need to stress with all development teams. It will help increase the speed at which teams will adopt Visual Studio "11" and future releases.

When talking with our consulting customers and leading our 4-Hour Testing Workshops across North America, there is some common confusion about what exactly the differences are between Microsoft Test Manager and Visual Studio Test Professional. It's a pretty simple difference that I'll see if I can help clarify and share some additional news for the vNext release of the Visual Studio family of products at the same time. Once you get the difference, it will make perfect sense!
Visual Studio Test Professional is one of the different SKUs that you can purchase from the Visual Studio family of products. What this means is that this is the "box" that you buy. You can't buy Microsoft Test Manager. You buy an edition of Visual Studio that includes Microsoft Test Manager. Visual Studio Test Professional happens to be the edition that many people will get when they are looking only to get Microsoft Test Manager (in addition to a TFS CAL and MSDN Subscription).
Microsoft Test Manager is the application you use to interact with Team Foundation Server to:
Microsoft Test Manager actually is included with two of the different SKUs or Visual Studio editions in the Visual Studio 2010 release. You can acquire either Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate or Visual Studio 2010 Test Professional to receive Microsoft Test Manager.
(Written for Beta) Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Test Manager will now be included in the Visual Studio Premium edition in addition to Visual Studio Ultimate and Visual Studio Test Professional. That's a great change and brings a lot of value to the Visual Studio Premium SKU! You can find out some additional comparisons (that have been publicly announced so far) here on the Microsoft site: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/compare
Let me know if you have any additional questions! We help customers all the time figure out what types of licenses they should get, advocate to get the best pricing for their company, and sort through all of the licensing details to come up with the best scenario. Contact me and I'll be happy to get you started down the right path. BTW – if there is also one thing to remember, don't pay retail prices for any Visual Studio licenses before you come talk to us!

Effective for Team Foundation Server 2010 users and assumingly going forward for Team Foundation Server 11, users who view read-only data for reporting purposes no longer need a TFS Client Access License (CAL). More information about the announcement from Brian Harry is available here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2012/03/08/even-better-access-to-team-foundation-server.aspx
The definition of "reporting data" is not defined completely but the spirit of the licensing change is to address a challenge the Microsoft MVPs and other customer channels have brought up: occasional stakeholders who are looking at reporting data should not be required to be licensed fully with a TFS CAL as other team members who contribute regularly to a software release. They traditionally want to view progress or see potential issues.
Reporting data is exposed in several different places in Team Foundation Server:
You may need other types of CALs depending on the particular scenario but thankfully you won't need a TFS CAL. Also, if these users are "writing" or "updating" information back to TFS, then that wouldn't be considered viewing reporting data. You'll likely need a TFS CAL for those scenarios. Remember though that users have always been able to create new bugs & feature requests without needing a TFS 2010 CAL as well using Work Item Only View. This is a great improvement with this new addition to the CAL exclusions for TFS.
This licensing change is retroactive and in addition to the announcement that the Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere client for Eclipse-based IDEs is now free!

The cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac OS) Eclipse-based Team Explorer, Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere, is now available without any costs! The free version will continue to not include a TFS Client Access License (CAL) so just be sure you are covered elsewhere for CALs if you happen to need one in your environment!
It's really great news for all those software engineers not using Visual Studio for building applications or for those using Linux or Mac OS and want to interact with the rest of the software engineering teams using Team Foundation Server.

I have a new favorite tool for managing and administering a Team Foundation Server environment from day to day. It has been so helpful both internally with administering our TFS environment but also as I go from site to site. A great part about the tool is that the source code is completely available with an open license for use. The product is maintained transparently and there have been a few occasions where I will request a feature and it's literally done and released the next morning when I wake up.
Introducing the TFS Team Project Manager on CodePlex! It's a tool that helps you take care of common administration and maintenance tasks across lots of multiple team projects. I have found it to be so useful in tons of different ways. One of them is something that I'm particularly finding useful this week with a customer that is upgrading from Team Foundation Server 2008 to Team Foundation Server 2010. They have 117 team projects on their instance and as you know, it can get tedious to manage that many team projects. This tool helps out in scenarios like this. We'll talk with them later about potential consolidation of all of those team projects though!
One of the things I need to do is figure what's the best course of action after upgrade for the work item type definitions (and other process template features) for all of the existing team projects. Everyone will be functional if we don't do anything but I wouldn't mind giving the teams a few of the new features in TFS 2010. The feature of TFS Team Project Manager that can let me get a good sense of where the team projects currently sit with their process template choice & customizations is a "Compare" feature for work item type definitions.
The way that it works is that you load up different sets of work item type definitions from a process template. You can even use an existing team project's work item type definitions as a base set as well.
Once you have defined a few different sets that you want to compare against, you just select the team projects that you want to compare and click "Compare Team Projects With Sources." The tool has a fairly rudimentary compare algorithm but the summary & detailed data you can get is very handy. It's pretty magical if you were to ask me.
The grid lists all of the results including:
Initially seeing the results may uncover a little chaos in your TFS environments. That's okay because there are options. You might want to tame some of that chaos by moving your process templates and storing them in the version control repository. Once it is in version control, you can attempt to "merge" similar process templates together as best as you can and consolidate. You could then use my handy custom build process template for managing deployments of changes to the process templates to existing team projects on your system.
Shameless Plug: We end up talking about these concepts in our book, Professional Team Foundation Server 2010 by Wrox if you are interested in more information!
Shameless Plug: We end up talking about these concepts in our book, Professional Team Foundation Server 2010 by Wrox if you are interested in more information!
First, I like to sort by the "Best Matching Percentage" column in the results to see which team projects have attempted to go off the path and made individual customizations. I don't really need to worry about the other ones because I can take care of them in bulk. The key in this particular case is to get them to same the base so that we can deal with them altogether in bulk after the upgrade. (Customer's Desire)
If you want to dive into a little more detail for any of the rows, you can choose "View Comparison Details" or double-click the row entry to pop up a great dialog that will help you with understanding the changes even more. You can see which work item types are changed and if you can even open up the changes in a diff tool that is configurable.
There was even a new feature implemented last night that detects whether you have Visual Studio vNext (currently Visual Studio "11" Beta) and will use that nice new diff & compare experience in Team Explorer!
How about that? This just makes things a ton easier for me!
This tool has a lot of other great features for TFS administration tasks across team projects. that I'll talk about in the future. Just wanted to mention this one and how useful it can be! Please make sure that you Donate to Jelle Druyts if you find the tool useful to you as well. It's absolutely free and he puts a lot of work into keeping the project going. At least buy him a drink for his hard work!

I have run into a new situation more often that caused a few concerns for me that I thought I would discuss it some here. Let's face it: there are bugs in the Visual Studio family of products. People have reported performance problems (and thankfully PerfWatson has been helping out tremendously with rich actionable data for the Visual Studio product teams.) However, did you know that a ton of these bugs are resolved & released after initial release? There are been great stability and performance improvements that have been released since the initial RTM of each of the Visual Studio versions.
Starting with the Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010 release cycle, Microsoft has started to put more and more of these updates through the Windows Updates distribution system. It's great! They are easily discoverable and can be part of your regular updating schedule. However, this only works if they are actually available to you.
I have found more and more that people aren't actually seeing these Windows Updates for Visual Studio and TFS in corporate environments. When I started looking into this with a few companies, I discovered that IT departments are purposely either ignoring anything "developer" related in the Windows Updates system or rejecting them completely. What?! There were some that didn't even know to look at these important categories.
If they do see them but have been ignoring them, the reasoning has typically been because IT groups don't understand the impact of those changes so they just would rather ignore them until they understand them more. I think that's fair but there didn't seem to be any drive for already over-burdened IT teams to actually figure out those impacts. IT departments are not traditionally using Visual Studio from day to day and don't typically have the right expertise to understand the impacts. There has traditionally been a gap between Software Engineering groups and IT departments at companies. That's a bigger problem to tackle for a different day. However, this is where a software engineering team can collaborate and help IT departments out.
You may have been asking, "why would my IT department have anything to do with the Windows Updates on my development or testing machines?" That's a great question. In some corporate environments, you can actually setup internal servers to act as an intermediary between the machines on the internal network and the central Windows Update system. IT departments do this for many reasons including making sure that certain updates won't impact existing applications on business users machines. Let's face it – your VB6 invoicing & order processing app that you built 15 years ago that is still limping along but vitally important to your business may or may not get impacted by a new update that's available for Windows 7. It happens, right?
To help you feel better about the updates we're discussing in this blog article: there is a very high cost internally for anyone on the Visual Studio product teams to push an update through the Windows Updates system. There's a very high quality bar before they are approved internally. They also wait for several weeks to a couple of months to make sure that no critical issues are reported from early adopters of those updates. Not every update is sent through the Windows Updates system so the ones that do really are important. There are many updates that are beneficial that never get released through Windows Updates.

Not every update is sent through the Windows Updates system so the ones that do really are important. There are many updates that are beneficial that never get released through Windows Updates.
There are many commercially available tools for "pushing" updates to customers. Off the top of my head, Microsoft has a high-end version called System Center Configuration Manager and a free version included with Windows called Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). Additionally, there are group policies in Active Directory that IT Administrators can apply to have machines in the domain talk back to one of these servers for their updates. You can usually tell if you are in this situation by heading to Windows Updates from your Control Panel and checking to see if it says something like "Managed by your system administrator."
Check out the Best Practices for Group Policies when using WSUS
Check out the Best Practices for Group Policies when using WSUS
You could click the link that says "Check online for updates from Microsoft Update" but some IT departments have even disabled that link from working through Global Policy. If any of this is setup internally, it means that all updates basically go through a gatekeeper which is someone who is actively (or inactively) managing the updates in your IT department in one of these internal update servers. This can be a good thing or a bad thing from what I am seeing more often.
This is the time when you might want to setup a meeting with your IT department to indicate that your software engineering teams actually do care about these updates and want them approved or even delivered automatically. They may not even know that they even exist now with this new release. Here are the categories that the teams should think about covering:
There was improvements that helped performance in the Workflow Designer when editing TFS Build process templates in Visual Studio 2010. These improvements were actually delivered as a .NET Framework QFE. BTW, There are also additional steps that you could take that I have discussed previously on my blog. My point by mentioning this is that IT Departments still need to monitor for even .NET Framework updates to help improve the stability and performance for the development environment for software engineering teams.
If your machine isn't dictated by an internal Windows Updates server by global policy (or if you use check for updates online using the central Windows/Microsoft Updates infrastructure) you may still not see the Visual Studio updates. This is because by default Windows only checks for Windows Updates. If you want to check for updates for all Microsoft software then you actually need to enable Microsoft Update. There is a small distinction but has a large impact on what's available for your machine.
For those that seem to still have issues with Windows Updates internally, you'll like seeing that Visual Studio "11" now has Product Updates shown with other types of tools & extensions updates in the Extension Manager. I doubt that this will include Microsoft Test Manager or Team Foundation Server updates though. I hope I am very wrong about it though and would be very happy if they do send those types of updates down through this new mechanism!
You can see these by heading to Tools –> Extension Manager and then look at the Updates section of the window as shown below. I can imagine us seeing all sorts of new updates that will come through this system including feature packs, power tools, cumulative updates, etc. I would imagine that there will be quite a few more updates then would even traditionally be sent through Windows Updates. That's a big win for us especially when you want to have the latest features & stability improvements available for your development environment.
Go have that discussion with your IT department now and if you can see what might be missing by checking for updates from Microsoft's centralized Windows or Microsoft Update.

Progestogens for Prevention of Preterm Birth
Authors: Kjersti Aagaard, MD, PhD
Summary of Benefits: Effect of Formulation and Route of Administration
All formulations succeeded in reducing the risk for preterm birth, and no formulation was effective at reducing the risk for neonatal mortality. However, the evidence is insufficient to support conclusions about the true effect sizes. It is possible that differences associated with progestogen use arise solely from populations studied or other biases. Head-to-head comparisons are needed to provide sufficient evidence to permit conclusions about the comparative effectiveness of formulations.

Morgan Rielly, the fifth overall pick of the 2012 NHL draft, is not the only prospect in the Leafs organization who is off to a fast start. Here are five others who appear to be on the path to the NHL, with comments from Dave Morrison, the Leafs' director of amateur scouting:
Stuart Percy, defenceman
Team: Mississauga (OHL)
Drafted: 25th, 2011
GP 16 | G 5 | A 5 | Pts 10
Morrison: "I think Stuart is quietly a really effective player. We really like his intelligence on the ice. His challenge is to continue getting stronger, which I think he's doing."
Tyler Biggs, right wing
Team: Oshawa (OHL)
Drafted: 22nd, 2011
GP 19 | G 9 | A 10 | Pts 19
Morrison: "He's still learning about the game at the OHL level, but he's played physical at times and stood up for his teammates and scored a few goals here and there. He's on the right track."
Matt Finn, defenceman
Team: Guelph (OHL)
Drafted: 35th, 2012
GP 18 | G 7 | A 8 | Pts 15
Morrison: "He's really smart, really intelligent. Finner's a good player. A fairly young captain on his team there, but he's had a very good start."
Joshua Leivo, left wing
Team: Sudbury (OHL)
Drafted: 86th, 2011
GP 19 | G 10 | A 10 | Pts 20
Morrison: "I think Josh really bought in [to the off-ice training] and it's really paying off for him now. Does he still have improving to do? Certainly. But we think he's already greatly improved."
Connor Brown, right wing
Team: Erie (OHL)
Drafted: 156th, 2012
GP 18 | G 14 | A 7 | Pts 21
Morrison: "He's playing with [Connor] MacDavid, which certainly doesn't hurt. But we're really happy with how he's played. He's a puck-competitive player with a lot of skill."
The anniversary has arrived. Morgan Rielly knows that much. He is not giving it much thought because he does not believe in living in the past, but there is no way he has forgotten what happened to him a year ago today, in what was his 17th game of the 2011-12 Western Hockey League season. The memory of it is tattooed on his brain.
That was the night it all went horribly wrong for the Moose Jaw Warriors defenceman. Or did it? Rielly is still trying to figure out if that night a year ago is cause for celebration or remembrance.
It might seem silly to celebrate the anniversary of when Rielly blew out his ACL and missed 54 games of his NHL draft year. And yet it seems just as silly to treat it as a negative, considering all the positives that occurred afterwards.
"That whole experience was a character builder," said Rielly, whom the Toronto Maple Leafs selected fifth overall in last summer's NHL draft. "With all the adversity I faced, I grew a lot and I think it helped me with my hockey career."
The makings of that career have been on display this season. Rielly, healthy again, has 20 points in 19 games, tied for second among WHL defencemen. He seems a lock to represent Canada at the upcoming world junior championship in Russia and has perhaps justified Leafs GM Brian Burke's wild assertion that "this is a guy that, if we had the first pick, we would have taken."
Had the injury not occurred, maybe the Edmonton Oilers would have debated whether to take Rielly ahead of Nail Yakupov in the same way that scouts once compared Steven Stamkos and Drew Doughty. Then again, had Rielly not gotten hurt, maybe no one — Rielly included — would have realized just how determined he could be when he really wants something.
"You almost sit back and think whether this was all meant to be," said Rielly's mom, Shirley.
A highly touted prospect, Rielly had 18 points in the first 17 games of the most important season of his young career when he wrecked his knee in a game against the Calgary Hitmen. "I was trying to take the puck wide and go towards the goal to try and create an opportunity to score," he remembers, "and I just crashed into the post."
He played one more game, against Edmonton in December, before discovering just how severe the injury was. And for a draft-eligible player, surgery to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament spelled disaster. Although doctors told him that he would likely recover from the injury, no one could predict whether a defenceman whose No. 1 skill is his speed would still be as fast. Or whether his draft stock would be affected.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I will remember the moment when my husband and I were watching the game on the computer forever," said Shirley Rielly. "I think we were all a little bit worried. None of us knew what it meant. We had lots of encouragement that he would be OK and that this wouldn't affect his future. But even though people are telling you that, you really don't know what kinds of decisions teams are going to make and how that's going to affect him."
"So yeah, I can't lie to you, there was some anxiety during that whole time, for sure."
While others worried, Rielly took a more clinical approach to his setback. He set monthly, weekly and daily goals for himself. After undergoing surgery in Vancouver in December, he immediately began rehabilitating his knee and two months later was back in Moose Jaw trying to get a quadriceps muscle that had shrunk nearly an inch from atrophy back into shape.
Rielly kept telling people that he would play hockey again that season. And just like when he told his parents he wanted to play hockey 20 hours away at the prestigious Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, Sask., where Wendel Clark, Brad Richards and Jordan Eberle all played, there was no changing his mind.
You almost sit back and think whether this was all meant to be
"Right from the get-go, there was no 'Woe is me, this is my draft year, I'm going to miss the entire year,'" Warriors general manager Alan Millar said. "His attitude was excellent and he just buckled down and went all-out with his rehab."
"You think it's an admirable quality," said Shirley Rielly, "but that same sense of determination was there as a two-year-old, which is not so admirable."
Rielly ended up missing the rest of the regular season, but he returned just in time for the conference final, where he had three assists in five games. In August, he picked up four points in four games in the Canada versus Russia Super Series. And like No. 3 overall pick Alex Galchenyuk, who missed almost all of last season with a torn ACL but now has 21 points in 15 games this year with Sarnia, Rielly keeps getting better.
"Coming back the way he did from the injury he had was really a testament to his willpower and his passion for the game," said Dave Morrison, the Leafs' director of scouting. "I think he's that type of kid. He's just a high-character guy who prepares himself. That's one of the things that will make him a really good player."
Rielly's character is why the Leafs never considered selecting him fifth overall a gamble. Determined players find a way, regardless of their talent. And with Rielly, whose effortless stride and hockey IQ have drawn comparisons to Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson, the talent is obvious. Behind that is also a thoughtful young man who, when injured, would wait in the parking lot for his teammates to return from road trips and who has become the face of the Warriors' Stick It To Cancer initiative.
"All those things make him special," said Millar, who had Stamkos when he was in Sarnia and Dustin Brown in Guelph. "I think that Morgan will follow a similar path. What he brings on the ice is evident, but it's his commitment to wanting to be a player. In terms of players that I've worked with, he's up there with the best."
And to think, we might never have seen Rielly's best if he had not experienced the worst.

Another Puzzle Addiction
I'm pretty over Suduko. I still do them time to time for mental exercise, but the addiction is gone. All the same, I was looking for some to print out for occupying 13-year-olds on a 14 hour flight.
And I found a new addiction. Check out these logic picture puzzles from Conceptis. You can work them online or print them out. They also have mazes, Kakuro, Hitori, and Slitherlink Puzzles, and of course Suduko.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Machiavelli Palace Hotel
Great Locationfrom sjf123
I was very impressed with this hotel. The front lobby and breakfast room were nicely decorated with lots of antiques and "frescos" on the walls. The front desk staff were very helpful.
The room was also nicely decorated and included an ensuite bathroom, mini fridge and flat screen tv.
The continential breakfast was great! I was impressed with the variety of breakfast items that included bread, cheese, meats, fruit, yogurt, orange juice, coffee, tea and sweets.
The only reason I would not rate this hotel higher is because of the noise from the street below. Out of 3 nights I only had one night of uninterupted sleep. I really hate to give this hotel such a bad rating because it was really good - if you decide to stay here, please ask for a room on the upper floor, and one that looks out over the court yard, not the street.
Three star but really OKfrom Spriglet
only lcation is good other then that 1 word awful everythingfrom A TripAdvisor Member
nice hotelfrom ammbar
the hotel location was very good, 3minutes walk from the central station & only 10 minutes walk from the Dumo.
Romms where so nice as a real palace,charming, but the bed was small & hard.
The bathroom very fresh.
Very clean
very good breakfast, very nice reception staff.
We really recomend this hotel in this beautifull city.
Fantastic long weekend in Florencefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Once we checked into our room, we were really pleased. We had a nice sized twin room with a large window. Both the room and bathroom were spotless and were cleaned thoroughly each day, the bathroom was sparkling clean. We could not fault the staff, we found them absolutely lovely.
I do understand about previous comments about the smell from the bathroom. late at night there does appear to be a nasty smell from the drains. I have found that in other old cities this is often the case late at night because of very old drains and can affect many hotels when the toilets are not being flushed regularly at night. In the daytime, the smell seemed to disappear, just make sure you keep the bathroom door closed at night.
The famous sights really do start just around the corner. I can see why people find it a bit scary near the hotel at night. However, we live in London and it did remind me of Londons Soho but on a much smaller scale and once you get used to it you realise its just a busy area and people are just going about their business in a busy city.
For a three star hotel we were completely satissfied, the standard was much higher than a three star hotel in England which is why we have given the high rating. It was more than we hoped for. If you want better quality then I think you should go for a higher grade hotel and expect to pay more. To be honest if you are out looking at the sights all day then you are not going to spend much time in the hotel but its nice to have a nice base and a comfortable bed to go back to. We were more than happy.
We loved Florence although we didn't find the local people friendly at all, they can come across quite rude. We decided not to let this ruin our holiday as there is so much to see and do and we had a nice hotel to go back to. We would recommend a restaraunt just around the corner from the hotel next to the fish restaraunt. Its wooden on the outside and a very traditional small family run place. You might have to wait for a table. The food is great. Unfortunately we can't remember the name of it.
We hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did.
Very pleasant!!!from Rubycairo
The hotel was an old convent but it´s restored. It has a small hall with the reception, the lift, the stairs,and the access to the breakfast room.It´s a big hotel through it doesn´t seem, with long and labyrinthic corridors.Our room was in the first floor and was inner with views to a courtyard but it didn´t matter to me because the street is now under construction and noisy.The room was small but nice and cute, I could see another rooms and there were very big and beautiful rooms too.The room has a double bed with two little tables, a beauty wooden wardrobe, a beautiful golden mirror, a little desk, a chair , a tv and a little fridge.Everything little but very good and very clear, anything broken.You have your own heating too to up or down the temperature .The bathroom was little too but with everything you can need, a big mirror, shower , hair dryer, any problems with the hot/cold water or the pressure......and the most important thing, very clear too so in general we were very confortable.
The breakfast room has many tables, you have a buffet service and very complete, coffee, different teas, cereals, yoghourts, sweet stuff, jam cheese.....so the moment of the breakfast was a pleasure too.You can repeat what you want.
The stuff of the hotel were everybody very pleasant except for a red hair woman and a young boy at the reception but this wasn´t a problem.There is an old man which is very nice so....
Well in short, beautiful city , very good people, good food and very good and cheap hotel.I paid for flight and hotel 375 euros.We had a sunny weather so what can i say more?? I hope to visit Florence soon again , I can´t forget it now and of course I will stay in the Machiavelli hotel.Best wishes.
best breakfast in europefrom ard21
although the beds are on the minature side the breakfast is absolutely fantantastic! a real feast is offered each morning to put you on your way-the best breakfast is europe!
Nothing memorable but no complaintsfrom SBArules
The place was clean & comfortable. Good reasonably priced place.
Not that impressed!from A TripAdvisor Member
Great Experiencefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Top Local Tips for Florence
Maggio Musicale Fiorentino This annual Music Festival is held annually from April through June and ranks among the oldest and most important European music festivals. After a long day of visiting churches and museums, with resultant visual overload (architecture, art, statues, frescoes, more art, more statues..), it's a nice contrast to experience the auditory delights of this Festival. You may hear world-famous conductors or classical musicians, or perhaps some up and coming local talent (as we did).
Don't stand in queues! Florence is not a city you need spend vast amounts of time in, iIf you time your sightseeing well. You can have lots of time to visit surrounding towns like the very beautiful and often overlooked Lucca, San Gimignano, Sienna and Pisa as well as shopping for leather goods provided you do not waste hours standing in queues to the Uffizzi Gallery and the Accademia. Make sure you book these on-line before you leave home. You will be allolcated pre-set entry times and you will simply walk through the front doors without waiting. It is an excellent system which works extremely well.
Osteria I'Brincello No need to go far from Palazzo Machiavelli to find a good restaurant. Try I'Brincello at number 110, Via Nazionale.
