Comments about Shimano Cassette Cog Spacers:
These little spacers are little slices of heaven. I have shimano 10 speed gearing on my road bike and if i put the cassette on the particular hub i have without any spacers, there is the smallest of gaps that doesn't allow the lockring to "lock" and this little 1mm spacer was just the right thickness to take care of it. It's a good thing that I bought 3 of them because I have 3 sets of wheels, one for training, one for racing, and one rear wheel for the indoor trainer. I can use these spacers on all 3 wheels without having to adjust the shifting ever so slightly for each wheel.
Comments about Shimano Cassette Cog Spacers:
Used this to run a 8 of 9 on a 7 speed freehub. Put it on first then the cassette + 2 cogs (smallest cog would't fit). Without it I couldn't get the lockring to fit snug against the cassette. Not sure if that's what it is used for, I ordered some different spacers to get it to work but this was the part that did the trick.

LAURINBURG — Drivers through downtown Laurinburg on Friday night, if they had their windows down, were greeted with an array of sounds — voices that echoed through the streets, guitars, keyboards and saxophones that bounced notes off the surrounding buildings and car horns that beeped a hello to familiar faces.
If their windows were up, there was still plenty to see.
The Art Crawl, the third of its kind, was in full swing.
Folks strolled Main Street where shops and restaurants, some with their doors open to welcome in the crowds and the first bite of fall air, offered sales or displays from local artists — some who showed off their skills as onlookers watched.
Jeanette Herlocker, of Laurinburg, was stationed in Quick Copy, along with several prints and original paintings done by her brother Ted McCormick.
Among them were scenes of flowers, wildlife, and portraiture copied from old family photographs.
Herlocker said McCormick had always loved to draw, but had recently stepped his art up a notch.
"I finally said 'this is ridiculous, you have got to start selling this stuff,'" she said.
Also with works on display in QuickCopy were Patty Smith and her daughter Carol Porter, who create 'barn quilts,' some large enough to grace a barn front and others designed to hang on a kitchen wall. Smith began painting the quilt pattern when arthritis robbed her of the ability to stitch it.
On down the street, Dr. Kelvin Raybon, oncologist at Scotland Cancer Center, had set up shop with band mate and son Eli, as a small crowd of family and passers-by gathered to hear them play songs from a request list taped to Eli's microphone stand. Much to one bystander's disappointment, "Freebird," the 14-minute Lynyrd Skynyrd concert finale and most requested song in the history of music, was not on the list.
Kelvin's wife Tina filmed the performance on a small camcorder while daughter Emma watched. It was the first time her son Eli had performed with his father and not with a group of friends in a rock band.
"It's exciting to see new exhibits that haven't been here before," said Jennifer McRae, executive director of the Storytelling & Arts Center of the Southeast, which served as the host of the Art Crawl. "It's nice to see all the activity downtown and people out and about on a Friday night."
Music from Day and Knight Jazz wafted into the building as 18-year-old Jonathan Hall asked advice from fellow artist Mark Conroy, who was showing several works, some new and some he had done several years ago. A carpenter by trade, many were displayed in frames he had created himself.
"He just needs to incorporate some shading, add some depth to his works," he said of Hall's book of drawings. "A lot of inspiration goes a long way."
Conroy was inspired long ago to create a mixed-media piece depicting a scene from a state park in West Virginia. The mixed media approach, he said, is unique but one from which he hardly strays.
"I started in high school, and my art teacher said 'I've never heard of that before but if it works for you, go for it,' and I did," he said.
Deb Guess, newly-named the assistant director of the Storytelling & Arts Center, had a table set up nearby with pieces of jewelry, created from sheets of metal and designed for movement.
"I like the industrial, mechanical things … but also things that would appeal to people who wear diamonds and pearls," she said. "I don't want my pearls to look like anyone else's pearls."
At the front of the center, Carol Lee had showcased an assortment of shabby chic aprons assembled from pieces of vintage linens, some that were "rescued" from Helping Hand or other local thrift stores and others that were given to her.
"It's been interesting, the things people give me, saying 'Please just take this off my hands,'" she said.
People strolling downtown made their way into Shirttails, Hi-Lites, Scotland Drug and Dazzling Diva to browse sales advertised on the sidewalk, while others picked up a dessert from Sweet Expressions at the Gill House. At Harley's Tuxedo and Gifts, squares of reclaimed tartans from decades-old band uniforms had been flying off the shelf. The squares are being sold as a fundraiser for the Scotland High School marching band.
"We, all of us who put this together, had originally designed it to be sort of a 'Terrible Towel,'" said Harley Norris, the shop's owner, "but 90 percent of the people who bought one were either mature adults who were in the band, or mature adults who bought it for their children who were in the band," he said.
Norris had himself bought one for his brother, who was in the band 30 years ago. The best thing about the fundraiser, he said, was that it was "pure profit" — the material had just been sitting in storage, collecting dust.
At Art by Design, Olivia Dowdy Brown sat at a table where she hammered out jewelry made of copper, metal, and pottery. Her person was a living display of the jewelry she had made, some with soft textures woven in.
Crawford Fitch, owner of the shop, watched while helping himself to a small spread of snacks, as local artists who had vacated their posts drifted in to browse his store.
"Anything that brings people downtown is a good thing, as far as I'm concerned," he said.

Scenes from Burbank's Bike-in Movie and Bike WorkshopOctober 1, 2012 at 12:54 pm | Posted in LACBC Events | 2 Comments
Tags: bike-in movie, Burbank
On Saturday, September 22nd, Burbank Bike produced its first-ever Bike-In Movie and Bike Workshop event. Members of the public were treated to an afternoon of bike safety, skills, and flat-fixing workshops. First on the agenda was a comprehensive bike safety film showing courtesy of the League of American Bicyclists, then an overview of Confident City Cycling, and finally an open questions session and flat fix demonstration. Everyone in need was given a free helmet, and flat-fix kits were passed out to all. The event was capped off with a fun and easy rolling community bike ride to McCambridge Park where a giant inflate-able movie screen awaited under a beautiful auburn sky.
Fresh sandwiches, snacks, and water were provided to the crowd before the movie Megamind was shown. The event saw kids, women, seniors, and teens on bikes riding together safely through the neighborhoods of Burbank before settling into comfy grassy digs on blankets and lawn chairs. Fun times were had by all those who came out. We would like to thank the City of Burbank, Cory Wilkerson, and Don Ward. The event was grant-funded and administered by LACBC, whom the City contracted to organize the event.
Many folks who attended were asking when the next one would be. We hope this event can serve as an inspiration and a model for other community bike events like it!

I'm really glad I used a template and altered it to make it my own. I could not have built a more beautiful save the date with out it! Costomizing every picture, colour and text options made it unique and still professional looking. I was nervous about if my pictures would look picselated or choppy, but they came out beautifully detailed. The option to do a really small post card size has made postage extremely affordable. This was important to us because we sent them around the world. Lastly, the package I recieved from magnet street was carefully put together, with extra sample material and discounts for when I choose to do my invitations

Christine has been President of Humane Society Silicon Valley for the past 13 years. During her tenure, Christine has led a progressive spay/neuter program that has dramatically reduced the number of incoming animals to
the shelter from 45,000 in 1993 to approximately 9,000 in 2006. Under her leadership, the shelter instituted a spay/neuter at adoption policy, pediatric spay/neuter, an affordable spay/neuter vaccination clinic, and encouraged local
municipalities to offer discounted spay/neuter voucher programs. Christine has also instituted policies that have substantially increased the number of animals adopted. Today, 99 percent of the animals available for adoption find new
homes; ten years ago, less than 15 percent found new homes. Under Christine's management, the Humane Society's volunteer base increased from 50 to more than 700, and the shelter's donor base increased from 300 to 30,000 donors. In addition

Quality bedding is often defined by the thread count of the fabric, whether it's a sheet, a comforter or a blanket. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and serve their purposes just fine.
Common thread counts range from 180 to 320, but thread counts as high as 700 also exist. The thread count alone doesn't determine how a fabric performs and feels, though. You'll also want to look at the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Yarn Size: Yarn size refers to the thickness of the individual threads that make up a woven fabric. The higher the yarn size, the finer the thread. Quality sheets usually have a yarn size ranging from 40 to 100. Finer yarns can only be made from high-quality, long staple cottons such as Supima. Yarn size is important to thread count because finer yarns take up less space than thicker yarns, thus the highest thread count sheets are generally made from the finest yarns.
Ply: The other important component to thread count is ply. Single ply fabrics are made from individually woven threads of yarn, while two-ply fabrics are made from two threads of yarn that are first twisted together and then woven. Since two-ply fabrics have essentially double the thread count of their single ply counterparts, two-ply fabrics must be made from extremely fine yarns, otherwise the end product might feel too bulky and heavy.

Chairman Francis called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to accept the May 6, 2002 minutes. Commissioner Ginter seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Don Hoppe, Assistant City Engineer, presented the report on the C.I.P 2002-2003.
On page B-4, the Santa Fe Avenue project Highland to Harbor funding has gone to zero because the city will no longer underground the utilities.
Chairman Francis said that he heard an amount of $1,300,000. Mr. Hoppe said that was additional funding that was going to be added the second year.
Chairman Francis asked why B-12 the Transportation Center Parking project says $30,000. Mr. Hoppe said that it is the carry over amount. B-12-B-16 are projects that are currently in progress that have been funded.
Mr. Hoppe said that the Safe Routes to School project is the only project that is listed as a new project.
Chairman Francis asked if we received a grant for the Safe Routes to School project. Mr. Hoppe said that we did receive a grant for the project.
Mr. Hoppe said that the city has small projects that are impacting the Transportation area which are the bus benches that will be added or replaced to enhance the aesthetics and the alley improvements north of Santa Fe.
Commissioner Ginter asked where the Dorothy Lane Reconstruction could be found in the book. Mr. Hoppe said that it is part of a residential street reconstruction project and can be found in the back of the book.
Commissioner Robeson said that last year they talked about Downtown public trash receptacles and asked if that is still in progress. Mr. Hoppe said that it is still in progress.
Commissioner Hardwick asked if the city gets to share the expenses for bus shelters with OCTA. Mr. Hoppe said that it is called redevelopment agency funding. He said that OCTA was funding all the handicap accessible improvements for all the bus stops throughout the city. He said that these were all funded by OCTA with no city funding.
Commissioner Ginter asked if the projects are cutting into the infrastructure deficiency. Mr. Hoppe said that in theory we are cutting into it.
Mark Miller, City Traffic Engineer, presented the staff report requesting installation of a 15,000 lb vehicle weight restriction on Valencia Drive between Lemon Street and its easterly terminus. Mr. Miller said that it concerns resident's complaints about commercial vehicles that frequently end up in their neighborhood looking for a way out. The street is posted "No Outlet" which means that once you get into the street you must come out the same way. Commercial vehicles frequently find them selves making right and left turns into the area. Staff is proposing to give truckers some notification to install the 15,000 lb commercial vehicle weight restriction on Valencia Drive from Lemon Street to its easterly terminus. The signs would be located both north and south of the intersection to provide a truck driver a clear indication that overlimit vehicles are prohibited from using Valencia Drive.
Commissioner Hardwick asked that if a truck driver has his line of sight blocked from the sign than do we have grounds to ticket him. Sergeant Don Pearce said that under this proposal the signs would be posted on Lemon Street. It might be offered as a defense but the signs will be posted and will be visible.
Commissioner Hardwick asked if there will be texts on the signs referencing Valencia. Mr. Miller said staff will either put a text or an arrow.
Chairman Francis asked how bad the situation is. Mr. Miller said that it is enough concern that it was brought to the NET team and when staff went out to make observations they witnessed truck driver's turning in and out because there is no outlet.
Commissioner Ginter said that the segment of street is wide and a semi truck can make a u-turn.
Vice Chairman Cochran asked if the proposal is for commercial trucks under 15,000 or just big commercial trucks. Mr. Miller said that they don't want big commercial trucks.
The hearing was opened to public comments and closed.
Commissioner Ginter moved to accept staff's recommendation. Commissioner Hardwick seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller presented staff's recommendation to install seventy-five feet of red curb on the east side of Highland Avenue between Amerige Avenue and the east/west alley north of Amerige Avenue. Staff made the request in an effort to improve the sight visibility at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Amerige Avenue. Its staff's opinion that increasing the sight distance for westbound drivers will result in a reduction of right-angle and/or near miss accidents. Highland Avenue has a prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Parking is permitted on both the east and west side at certain locations. Staff previously considered installing a four-way stop at Amerige but it does not meet the warrants. In a 12 month period you must have at least five reported accidents that are susceptible to correction by a four-way stop. We had four reported accidents in any 12 month period. We just had another accident last weekend.
Chairman Francis asked where the accident was located. Mr. Miller said that it was a west-bound vehicle that was proceeding into the intersection and hit a south bound vehicle. He said that it appeared that the west bound vehicle did not see the south bound vehicle. Mr. Miller said that over the past couple year's staff has increased the size of the stop signs on Amerige Avenue and has posted signs saying "cross traffic does not stop".
Commissioner Robeson asked if there is a way to put stop signs at the cross walk. Mr. Miller said that to install a stop sign is not warranted. Wilshire was the street that warranted the stop signs. Mr. Miller said that although a crosswalk is not marked it is a legal crossing.
Commissioner Robeson asked what the pedestrian count is. Mr. Miller said that they do not have that information but it still does not meet the warrants.
Commissioner Buck said that apart from the fact that the intersection does not meet the warrants is there any other reason staff would not like to install the stop signs. Mr. Miller said that if you do not have the volume of east/west cross traffic compared to the north/south traffic, then a stop sign may not prevent the accidents.
Commissioner Buck said that installing the red curb will help the visibility for cars going west bound. He asked if that is where most of the accidents occur or do they also occur going east bound. Mr. Miller said that most of the accidents are west bound.
Commissioner Buck stated that he does not see this as a visibility problem. He said that he would like to see stop signs installed. Commissioner Robeson asked when staff did a survey for the warrants. Mr. Miller said that it was about a year ago. He said that both intersections were looked at when staff did Wilshire Avenue.
Commissioner Ginter asked if a reduction of less than 75-feet would help. Mr. Miller said that there is an issue on Amerige Avenue looking north bound and an issue at the alley looking south bound.
Vice Chairman Cochran asked how many parking spaces it will be. Mr. Miller replied at least three.
Commissioner Robeson asked if the residents at night park in the city employee parking lot. Mr. Miller said that there is a 2 a.m to 5 a.m. parking restriction.
Chairman Francis said that as long as someone has a permit then they can park in the city lot. Mr. Miller said that the accidents have occurred during the daytime not at night.
The hearing was opened to public comments.
Norma Boyzo, 202 N. Highland Avenue, said that she does not have an objection to the red curb but is requesting that a four-way stop be installed. Mrs. Boyzo said that her parents received a parking permit from the city to park in the city parking lot.
The public comment segment was closed.
Chairman Francis stated that the four-way stop sign should be addressed at another time. Commissioner Buck asked if it is out of order to consider a four-way stop at the meeting. Mr. Miller said that we need to have it on the agenda in order to discuss the four-way stop and make the recommendation to City Council. He said that to discuss the four-way is appropriate. Mr. Miller recommends that once the Police Department building is completed then we can study the intersection. He believes the conditions will change.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to accept staff's recommendation. Commissioner Robeson seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Robeson did not participate in the discussion of item #4 due to a potential conflict of interest.
Mr. Miller presented staff's recommendation to restripe Dorothy Lane between Longview Drive and Victoria Drive. He said that the road must be completely reconstructed. Dorothy Lane has approximately 6,000 vehicles a day. It is currently striped with a center line and bike lanes. Although it is designated as a Class II bike lane, the insufficient street width prohibits the installation of a Class II bike lane without the removal of on-street parking.
This issue was brought before the Bicycle Users SubCommittee on April 17, 2002 and they discussed the various striping options as proposed. At the conclusion of the meeting, the committee favored a proposal retaining the eleven-foot travel lanes and nine-foot parking lanes. The committee was concerned that if staff was to stripe a wider bike lane then drivers would think it's a travel lane and drive in it. Their recommendation was to go with an eleven-foot through lane and a nine-foot bike lane.
Staff is proposing that the lane configuration on Dorothy Lane consist of two ten-foot lanes and two ten-foot parking lane/bike lanes. Mr. Miller called the Chairman Mr. Olmstead and mentioned he would present this recommendation. Mr. Olmstead agreed with Mr. Miller.
Mr. Miller said that between Acacia and Victoria Drive the street is posted "No Parking Anytime". The city does allow the school buses and parents to park on the north side to drop off and pick up children in front of Acacia school. There would be a seven-foot bike lane on the south side, two ten-foot travel lanes, and five-foot bike lane going west bound with an eight-foot parking lane totaling thirteen-feet. Staff wants to keep the "No Parking Anytime" signs. Staff is trying to relieve some of the congestion around the school sites around Melody. Staff will not be changing any signing but will be installing new bike lanes. Construction is scheduled for the summer. Victoria to Rydell should be done before school gets back into session and towards the end of the year the other section will be done.
Commissioner Hardwick said that most of the traffic would be for Acacia not Rosary high school. Mr. Miller said that Rosary high school has put in a proposal to add some classrooms on their campus. It has set in motion a requirement for a traffic study in the area. They have hired a Traffic Engineering Consultant that will be looking at reducing congestion and litigations to help reduce on-street parking around Acacia Park and Fullerton Creek Road around Melody. Mr. Miller said that there is no busing for Rosary high school except for when they have their sport events. There is busing for Acacia elementary schools which are one or two buses. There are no buses for St. Juliana's but there is a heavy car pool. There is a portion of Dorothy that St. Juliana's and Rosary high school uses, from Longview to Rydell.
The issue is the restriping and narrowing the travel lanes and widening the bike lanes. Mr. Miller said that vehicles drive in the bike lanes to pass on the right. The lanes are striped like bike lanes but they are signed as bike routes. Mr. Miller believes that the drivers can be sited for passing on a bike route.
Sergeant Don Pearce said that you cannot drive in a bike lane. He said that you can drive on where the broken line is.
Commissioner Buck asked if it would be legal for a bicycle to pass the diagonal. Mr. Miller replied yes.
Commissioner Buck asked how long the dotted line on Dorothy Lane going east bound. Mr. Miller said it might be sixty feet.
Commissioner Ginter asked if the restriping extend down to Berkley. Mr. Miller said that it will only go to Longview.
The hearing was opened to public comments.
Rita Semple, 1200 Longview, said that for St. Juliana's school the parents do not drop off there children on Acacia. The parents have been instructed to drive through Melody into the parking lot and drop the children off in front of the school. Mrs. Semple said that the bike lane at the corner of Dorothy Lane and Longview is used for right turns consistently. Mrs. Semple hopes that someday the city will see it feasible and practical to install circles or stop signs on Dorothy Lane.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to accept staff's recommendation. Vice Chairman Cochran seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller said that staff presented the request to Council. Council did not feel it necessary to meet for the purpose of discussing potential changes to the existing ordinance. If the T&CC feels it necessary to modify the policy/procedure of granting exemptions and or propose a change to the existing ordinance, the T&CC should present their suggestions to Council at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Commissioner Hardwick said that the commission still had the right to review each petition that comes before them on a case by case basis. He said they have the authority to disagree with staff and forward their recommendation to council. He said there is an issue for what may or may not constitute a two-car garage and how long a driveway should be. Mr. Hardwick felt that staff should consider whether people are being placed in a position where they are being forced to park in front of their own house and being sited.
Commissioner Ginter said that two months ago he presented a draft of a resolution. Last month, Director of Engineering, Robert Hodson, said that a resolution is not the correct form to change the ordinance. Mr. Ginter said that he was trying to highlight a change in the definition to what constitutes adequate overnight parking. He said that if the commission felt that this would help when surveying the petitions then it would put the commission in less conflict with staff. Mr. Ginter said that in the resolution he acknowledges that the ordinance is good and that they have a place in the system to allow exemptions. Mr. Ginter would like to get the resolution on the agenda so that the commissioners can discuss it and vote upon it. Mr. Ginter asked if this would be the legal way of changing the ordinance.
Mr. Miller said that it sounds appropriate to put on the agenda for discussion.
Chairman Francis asked staff's feelings toward the resolution.
Dave Langstaff, Traffic Technician II, stated that option #4 was brought to the commission to discuss areas that the commission felt needed clarification by Council. Staff also spoke to the Planning Department who informed staff that the standard garage width is approximately twenty-feet in width.
Mr. Miller stated his opinion on option #4. He said that he has looked at areas overnight parking was approved and noticed that several vehicles will park in the street for extended periods of time. For example, on the south side of Chapman Avenue, a resident parked his Jet Ski's on the street for weeks. Mr. Miller called the situation in and the Jet Ski's were taken away. Mr. Miller stated that the overnight parking exemptions require a significant amount of staff time to process.
Commissioner Hardwick said that the Jet Ski's were legally in their right to park because the exemption is only between the hours of 2 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Mr. Miller said that once an exemption is placed on a street there is typically an increase in the number of parked vehicles in the exempted area.
Vice Chairman Cochran said that he would prefer to work out something on option #4 that allows the commission to make the final decision to avoid taking it to council.
Chairman Francis feels that it should be done in a way that the street either meets the requirements for exemption or not.
Commissioner Buck liked the idea about overlaying option #4 with the existing system.
Vice Chairman Cochran said that he lives in a street that has been approved for overnight parking and has not seen any problems.
Commissioner Robeson asked what it would require to take the issue before City Council. Mr. Miller said that it would require a recommendation from the Transportation & Circulation Commission to change or clarify the Ordinance.
Mr. Miller said that staff will go through option #4 and place it on the agenda for discussion.
Mr. Miller said that a week ago staff met with Post Office officials. They established that there would be a change within the parking lot involving circulation and the work required.
Mr. Miller said that the contractor has already re-poured the driveways. The signs will be in this weekend. By next week there will be a new circulation.
Mr. Miller stated that the post office will hand out flyers to patrons notifying them of the upcoming changes.
On November 2, 2002, a Commissioners Workshop will be held at Cal Poly Pomona.
The Bicycle Users SubCommittee will be meeting next week to look at the citywide master plan for bicycle routes and will get all the maps together.
Mr. Miller said that they will relocate the traffic signal at Commonwealth and Short Street to Senior Center Drive. He said that street reconstruction within the intersection will not happen for a year.
Mr. Miller said that changes to Santa Fe Avenue and the requests for disabled parking on Yale Avenue will be going to City Council June 4, 2002.
The regular meeting of the Transportation & Circulation Commission was adjourned at 5:40 p.m.

Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Intern Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Microsoft.
I submitted my resume online through the Micro website. Several months later I received an email for a phone interview. The interview was about half an hour and we mostly discussed previous projects of mine-- there were a few questions to pick my brain and hear thought processes. The interviewer of course asked about prior experience as well.
Interview Questions
- The questions I was asked are previously posed on this thread. Answer Question

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA (US)) in November 2013.
Interview process was very pleasant. I had a single phone interview (problem solving in nature) and was then flown out to Redmond a month or so later. Microsoft gives you plenty of resources to do the things you want while you're out there, so take advantage of it. They'll pay for cab fares, but I recommend getting a rental, to make sure that you're on time to wherever you need to be. On the interview day, I was shuttled to HQ with a group of other candidates (about 15 others). We had lunch and learned about the interview process. There were a total of 4 45 minute interviews, each with a different person. Each interview was pretty similar: about 15 minutes getting to know you and about 30 minutes of coding/problem solving. The questions weren't too bad...make sure your answers are geared towards a testing standpoint.
Interview Questions
- A question that I was not ready for was a networking question: about how traceroute works. The interviewer gave hints. It had to do with the TTL of a packet. Answer Question

I applied through college or university – interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA (US)).
I had an on-campus screen and didn't feel that I performed very well, especially with the behavioral questions. Nevertheless, I got an email inviting me to interview in Redmond, WA. The day of the interview, I was nervous, but excited and enthused. My optimism and cheer carried me throughout the day. Everyone I met was so nice and genuine, and declined all phone calls and texts to give me their full attention. One of my interviewers gave me a hard time for not understanding his instructions for testing an algorithm I wrote, but I kept a smile on my face, took his criticism, and ended up giving my own good insight on the solution. I solved every problem during the day, although I didn't always get the best solution the first time. I was very thorough in my testing of each algorithm.
I was very excited to find out that I would be getting a 4th interview, which was with a manager. The function I had to code during this 4th interview was fairly straightforward. It was also easy to test.
Regarding the culture, as I said, everyone was very genuine and attentive. These were all people I would be excited to work with, and I had some pretty good banter with most of them. I got the affirmative interview results soon after. I had a great time in Seattle, and Microsoft of course paid all the expenses.
Interview Questions
- I would rather not disclose any interview questions. I will say that half the questions I got were very personalized, while the other half are similar to the ones you can find online... Know your algorithms, data structures, and design patterns. My networks, information security, databases, compilers, and finite state automata knowledge came in handy as well. Answer Question
Did not negotiate. The offer exceeded my expectations.

I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks – interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA (US)) in February 2013.
First of all, they went to my university for a presentation and I gave them my resume. A week later, I was contacted by email about scheduling a phone interview. The phone interview (about 20 minutes) consisted of questions like:
- How would you test a keyboard?
- What is the difference between threads and processes?
- Imagine that you get home and you find out you don't have your keys. What would you do?
Then I received an email about my phone interview and the process for an interview at Microsoft started. Microsoft pays for flights, accommodation, taxis and even your food.
I was interviewed by four different people. The interviews start with a few questions and at the end the interviewer comes up with a problem and asks you to solve it. Once you present your solution, he asks you to code it on the board.
My advice is that you should keep talking and pay attention to the hints the interviewer you give you. If he notices that you're doing something wrong, he'll probably make a comment that you can use in order to find out the problem in your idea / code.
After coding, the interviewer will ask you to come up with test cases for your code. He is probably expecting you to come up with many test cases, so think as much as you can about ways to break the code!
In the same week after my interview, I received an offer by email and accepted it.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Microsoft.
I was recruited at college and had a quick one-on-one screen before being sent off to the Redmond campus for a full-day of interviews.
I interviewed with four different people at the same division (Microsoft Advertising). I had on average two questions per interviewer. The questions weren't particularly difficult -- you could tell they were not actively trying to weed out candidates. That said, they were somewhat tricky and required some thought behind them.
They were abstract questions that most students studying CS should be familiar with (write a program that finds the most frequent word that appeared in a long string, write a program that finds the shortest distance between two nodes on a tree). Because I was interviewing for an SDET position, it was prudent to show that you thought about edge cases and ways to test your program once you designed it.
After my interviews, I was taken back to their college recruiting building and given a briefing. I was not offered an internship on the spot, but they got back to me relatively quickly, after a weekend.

I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA (US)) in March 2012.
Microsoft is really good through the interview process. I applied through my college recruiter. I had one interview on campus. It was fairly easy. I was told that I would fly out to Seattle a day after the first round. They contact you well ahead of time and send you detailed instructions about the interview and your trip. The interview process is well oiled. There are four rounds of interviews, with only the first one being easy. I was asked two questions each round. There were real world problems, object oriented design and run of the mill programming questions. The interviewers were a mixed bag, some helpful and some untalkative.
Interview Questions
- I was asked to design a program to read class attributes in a java file. This was a question I did not expect. Answer Question
I had to travel internationally over the summer and Microsoft did not make a great job of accommodating that and my college calendar. I had a 11 week internship instead of 12 weeks.

The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA (US)) in December 2010.
I had an on campus interview with Microsoft a few weeks after the Career fair when I had given them my resume. This Interview had only 1 pretty basic technical question. After that I got a call a week later that they wanted to fly me out to Seattle to interview with them there. I flew out there about 2 weeks later and there were many other people interviewing for internship and full time positions. The night before the interview they had bowling and food. It was pretty cool.
For the next day, we were separated into a morning group and an afternoon group. I was in the afternoon group which consisted of 4 45 minute interviews with various members of the specific team with which I was interviewing. Everyone was pretty personable and very helpful. Throughout the course of the interviews I was able to get a sens for the fact that I wasn't exactly what they were looking for, but not in a bad way. More of a, remember this for next time way.

Israel and the US outsourced the siege of Gaza to Athens last summer by preventing 8 boats in the Freedom Flotilla 2-Stay Human from sailing from Greek ports to Gaza. Despite this we were able to bring world-wide attention to the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Our efforts in Greece only fueled our determination to challenge the imprisonment of the people of Gaza. We said we would continue to sail and so we are!!!
At this moment, two boats are in international waters in the Mediterranean heading to Gaza. One boat, the Saoirse from Ireland, includes parliamentarians among its passengers. The other, the Tahrir, carries representatives from Canada, the U.S., Australia, and Palestine.
The U.S. Representative on the Tahrir, Kit Kittredge, was a passenger on the U.S. Boat to Gaza, The Audacity of Hope mission in Athens in July. A journalist from Democracy Now is on the Tahrir also. Civil society organizations in Gaza await their arrival, and look forward to the delivery of letters collected from thousands of U.S. supporters in the To Gaza With Love campaign.

SNOW HILL — Waste Industries recently purchased Onslow Container Services, creating a near-monopoly in the area of waste disposal services for the type of service Greene County needs.
"They have offered to continue services through July 1st at our current rates," County Manager Richard Hicks said to county commissioners Monday night.
The current disposal cost is $42 per ton, which includes the state trash tax, fuel surcharges and environmental fees, according to a letter to Jones from Norma Yanez, Waste Industries' government contracts manager.
But beginning July 1, Waste Industries is requesting a three-year commitment and the current rate would only be applied for disposal at their Deep Run transfer station, not the transfer station in Wilson.
"Our costs at the Wilson Transfer are higher because of further tranportation costs to the landfill," Yanez wrote.
In the second and third years, the price would undergo a cost of living increase to reflect the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index.
Through July 1, Waste Industries will continue to accept the co-mingled recyclables at no charge.
"They anticipate being at no charge in the years going forward," Hicks told the board about the recyclables, "but they're in a position where they cannot guarantee you that there will not be a charge because as long as they can dispose of it, there will be no charge to us. But they're saying those conditions could change."
The letter states the company will notify the county 30 days in advance if there is a need to charge a processing fee.
Hicks said he doesn't know of any other waste disposal companies in the area.
"They've kind of have a monopoly on things in this area," Public Works Director David Jones said at the county meeting.
Hicks said he would be discussing the need for additional services at the commissioners' retreat on March 5. The department will be needing a new compactor and transfer truck.
Jones said the additional services include hauling household trash to the convenience sites, possibly operating the convenience sites and hauling trash that can't be dumped in the landfill.
"Because we're only permitted to bury construction and demolition debris," Jones said. "We can't bury anything else. Everything else we have to haul away. And right now we're doing all the hauling."
Waste Industries can do the hauling, but not the disposing at the landfill, he said.
Lenoir County Solid Waste Director Tom Miller said the only service the county had with Onslow was taking the recyclables to the company's landfill, which is now owned by Waste Industries. There has been no price increase, nor a discussion of a contract, as of yet, Miller said.
Jones County Manager Franky Howard said the county has agreed to continue services with Waste Industries through June 30, but the board hasn't yet discussed what they will do in the next fiscal year. He mentioned the county had at one time bidded out services to companies, including The Public Services in New Bern.
Snow Hill and Hookerton are seeking proposals from various providers.
Hookerton's Town Clerk April Baker said there are a few companies to which she has sent letters requesting proposals.
"Right now, we're still with Waste Industries," she said.
Baker said she spoke with the town's solid waste employees and citizens about whether to stay with Waste Industries.
"Evidently, the town had worked with them in the past," she said, "... and they were hard to work with."
Baker acknowledged a representative of Waste Industries said the company had changed since then — which was several years back, but she still wanted to do some comparison shopping.
Some of those companies include Carolina Waste Management in Greene County, Carter Hill in Kinston, Pak-R in Washington and Countryside Sanitation in Grifton.
Those smaller companies are not able to provide the type of service Greene County needs, and there aren't any other large companies closer than Waste Industries, Jones said.
"We have to haul our waste to a transfer station," he said, adding the reason is because the county hauls construction and demolition debris.

Need recommendation for ~40" LED TV w/ good sound
by mbruno2084 - 11/22/12 7:05 PM
Hello all,
My wife & I recently bought a 42" Vizio LED TV for a very good price. We are quite happy with the picture, however, we are going to be returning it because the built-in speakers are terrible. The sound quality is very tinny and dialog is hard to decipher.
I really need some recommendations in terms of LED TVs that have passable speakers. We'd like the bass & treble to be adjustable too. We're not too concerned with picture quality. As long as it's around 40", an LED display (can be 60hz; doesn't need to be 120), and has at least 3 HDMI ports, it's fine.
We would like to keep it in the $1,000 price range, but are flexible.

Fully customized fans!
I absolutely love our square program fans that Magnet street helped us customize by combining two designs into one beautiful fan. They are thick and not flimsy like many other fans and come packaged very securely.
awesome wedding programs
These wedding programs looked great and I loved them! I liked how the colors could be customized to fit our wedding colors, and the fonts could be changed too. I was surprised at how quickly I received the programs as well. The only downside to these programs was the price, but besides this I loved the programs!
Loved it!!!!
The ceremony fans are lovely and came on time the only thing is I thought the print would be bigger but either way this was a great purchase as I was looking for something different from the regular ceremony programs and this made my day
These were exactly what we were looking for and we ordered them totally last minute, so we were concerned if they would get here on time. They made it here in just days after ordering them and a week before our wedding! Can't wait for everyone to see them :)
I love MagnetStreet!!
I love everything about this company. I have so-far ordered my Save-The-Dates, Invitations and Programs here for my upcoming wedding and I have loved EVERY piece that has come in. The ordering process is so quick and easy and the customization is SO user friendly. I was even able to change one of their templates a little bit by talking to a REAL customer service rep on the phone. It was easy and they were super accommodating. They ship quickly and everything is packaged very nicely. Even after the wedding I plan to use them for all special occasions that we may have. I would highly recommend this company for ALL sorts of different needs.

Late Rally Falls Short as Men's Basketball Comes Up Empty 83-77 against Queens
January 15, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Queens needed eight blocks on Saturday night to help sneak away with an 83-77 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action in the Merner Gym. The Royals move to 9-4 overall, 5-0 in league play winning their eighth-straight contest. The Falcons, losers of three-in-a-row, fall to 6-7, 4-2.
Pfeiffer used three free throws for an early lead in the first minute of play after a personal foul and technical foul was charged to the visitors bench. Reggie Hopkins (Gastonia, NC) would knock down a jumper and triple to put the Royals up a pair 5-3, but both teams started to trade the lead from there until the final minutes of the half. After a layup by Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) put the Falcons even at 31-31 with 4:08 to play, Queens would end the half on a 9-1 run for an eight-point halftime lead. Brandon Nichols (Fayetteville, NC) had four of the Royals nine points in that stretch.
Early in the second half, Hollinger would drive the lane for another easy lay in that brought the Falcons to within four 49-45. Hopkins would then hit another one of Queens 12 triples on the night to extend the lead back to seven. Hopkins would later connect on a rare four-point play to put the visitors back up 11 with 13:32 remaining. Pfeiffer would slice the lead back to four on four different occasions, finally taking advantage with just over three minutes remaining.
After a Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) layup, Hollinger would hit a pair of free throws that cut the lead down to two. Woods would turn around and take advantage of the Royals 12th foul of the half and knock down two of his five free throws on the night for a 75-75 game with 2:47 to go. For the second-straight game, the Falcons would have late chances to grab the late lead, but failed to take advantage as a Daniel Bailey (Irmo, SC) jumper and late free throws sealed the win for the visitors.
Hopkins finished with a game high 27, one of four Royals in double-figures. Bailey finished with 14, David Mason (Decatur, GA) 12 and Brent Evans (Beaufort, SC) with 11. For Pfeiffer, Hollinger led all with 26, Woods posted his sixth-straight double-double with 17 points and 11 boards while Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) dropped in 14.
Pfeiffer will look to snap its three-game skid with a Tuesday night trip to St. Andrews. The Falcons and host Knights will tip at 7:30 p.m.

Stallard added to women's basketball roster
August 21, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University womens basketball coach Roy Dow announced the addition of Alexis Stallard (Louisville, KY/Butler Traditional) to the 2013-14 recruiting class. Stallard was a four-year member of the Butler Traditional varsity team and led her squad to the State Tournament three times.
Stallard, who graduated with a 3.6 grade point average, was named the programs Most Improved Player in 2011 and was selected as the Defensive MVP in 2012 and 2013. In her senior year, she led Butler to a 23-9 record and scored 16 points in a 59-47 Regional Championship victory over Mercy.
Stallard played her AAU ball for the Louisville Sting, Louisville Select, and Louisville Focus teams as well as the Central Kentucky Angels.
I am very excited to have Alexis as my first recruit and to add her to the Falcon basketball family, said Dow. First and foremost, I am impressed with her successful career at Butler, both on and off the court. Hand in hand with that success, are her length, athleticism, competitive instincts, and versatility. She will impact our team immediately on both ends of the floor.
Stallard will be majoring in Education at Pfeiffer. The Lady Falcons went 25-7 last season and advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. The team finished one win shy of the record for most victories in a season.

In a typical Maven case, the classifier may be used to classify an artifact as JDK-1.3 or JDK-1.4 for its target platform. In the case of J2ME, things get more complicated and such a single classifier becomes problematic because there can be many classifiers (which are referred to as requirements needed for the artifact to be used on the target platform). For example, the artifact may require libraries for MMS support or certain media support (JSR-135) to be able to build. To this day, Maven still has not adequately addressed this part of the Java world. We also have a similar case in the .NET world, where we are targeting different processors, framework versions, vendor implementations and so on. The general problem is taking Maven from supporting the J2SE world, which has great cross-platform support, to environments that are partially cross-platform.
The way NMaven currently handles this problem, is to use the public key token ID, from a signed .NET artifact, as the classifier. Then I can attach requirements (or attributes) to that classifier. For example, say that the value of my public key token ID is 4b435f4d76e2f0e6. I can associate with that value the following attributes: vendor=microsoft, frameworkVersion= 2.0. This has the implication that only signed artifacts can have artifact requirements. To understand this approach, requires understanding the constraints of the system. First there is only one classifier within the pom (and its associated dependency object within the Maven API). Second, the Global Assembly Cache - where Microsoft strong-named assemblies are stored for a global context - uses the public key token ID within the path of the assembly. Thus if I have a classifier (pom), some associated meta-data (RDF) tied to that classifier, and the classifier value (4b435f4d76e2f0e6) within the path of the assembly within the GAC, then I can always tell what the requirements are for an artifact, regardless of whether they are stored in the local repository or an external repository such as the GAC. If I need new requirements, I just sign the assembly with a different key, still having both artifacts in the GAC.
This .NET solution would not apply to Java's case, but I think that it is important to understand at least one context of the problem and how it is solved. Other contexts could also be drawn from the J2ME world. What I am convinced of - in the general case - is that using a GUID for the classifier and then having associated attributes tied to that GUID makes a lot of sense. If we take the case of multiple classifiers, then we would need more sophisticated matching process to tell whether two artifacts are indeed different. A GUID, as the classifier, allows two artifacts - with the same groupId, artifactId, version - to differentiate themselves by matching a single field. Then it is just a matter of associating the requirements to that classifier value/GUID.
The solution should be general enough to handle artifact requirements from any platform, including .NET, as well as J2ME foundations and profiles. The solution should also allow the artifact provider to add multiple requirements (probably through name-value pairs) to the artifact. This implies that we would need a pluggable matching framework that would allow the provider/framework developer to specify that requirements with certain names would use configured classes for handling of that match. For instance, if I specify name-value requirements as Software.NET.FrameworkVersion=1.1+ within the pom, then I should be able to configure the framework to invoke matcher class NetFrameworkVersionMatcher that knows how to determine the match. If we use a GUID for the classifier, this pluggable matching framework is not directly required for the expanded classifier support but is a necessary part to make it a fully working solution.
