A group blog from members of the VB team
Now that you know our team, it is time to get down to the real meat - we are building software here, so let's talk about software. As I promised to keep you up to date with what is going on here at Microsoft, I decided to start a series of blog posts under the title "How do we write software at Microsoft: a PM intern's perspective". Expect to get a flavor of the Dev and QA prospective as well really soon!
Even though our team is small and the project lifecycle will be relatively short (just 3 months), I am sure that throughout the series you will be able to get an idea of how much energy it takes to ship a working product, and how much passion the people here put in delivering the right product on time.
OK, so let me then start the series by telling you in more details what's been keeping me busy for the last few weeks :)
The Project Lifecycle
As it is with every project, we are going through a set of standard phases, each getting output from the previous and adding value to the project. Unsurprisingly, the project starts with an Analysis phase, and the basic idea is to get the scope of the project, defining what we will be doing, and what we will leave for the next versions. Next comes the planning phase, where the project roadmap is built and the important milestones that we will hit are identified. This basically gives us a great means of tracking where we are, and also enables us to react as quickly as possible if for some reason we are not on schedule. Then the project goes into a development phase, and so on.
The two major outputs from those first two phases are the Project Spec and the Project Plan. It is hard (if not impossible) to do the second without the first, so the first and most important thing a PM has to deliver is the project spec. So I will focus on the spec in this post, and next time I will give you more details on how we do project planning here.
The Analysis Phase
If you do not have a lot of experience with writing specs, you will probably be really surprised how much energy the whole team has to put in getting the spec done. Yes, the whole team – writing a spec is a team effort, and if you think that this is something just for the PM to do, consider the following:
As you see, it is impossible for a single PM (or even all the PMs working at Microsoft) to create the spec. The reason is that there are so many different people involved, that you cannot do this yourself and then just hope that other people will agree with it. So, how do you write a proper spec at Microsoft? Here is my basic, step-by-step approach.
Step 1. Do your homework
I started by doing a lot of research in the area. I tried different things; analyzed alternatives, created proof of concept projects, etc. I spent quite some time in the role of a potential user, trying to see what I would need and how I would expect things to behave. So, I would say that the first step is to try and really understand what the project should look like by experimenting, exploring unexplored grounds. This stage is pure research, where you just try stuff out and get some experience in the area. I learned so much about the project system in VS, all the different things you need to do to extend it, what the VB runtime contains, how it is implemented, plus so many more exciting things. It turned out that while I was doing my job as a PM I got to learn so many new technical things!
Step 2. Talk to people
I talked to a lot of people. In the last few weeks I have literally had a few meetings every single day, in order to get the spec right, plus I sent dozens of emails per day. I have spent quite a lot of time with Dev, QA, PM and all the other stakeholders. I have also talked to various people from other teams outside VB when I needed technical help on something I didn't quite understand. I think that this is one of the coolest parts of the projects – to actually understand how different people feel about the project, what is technically possible, etc.
This stage is a lot of fun, but it's not the writing of the document itself that makes me happy. Sure, I love seeing a document get bigger and bigger, more detailed and with more things written inside. What is even more exciting, though, is the fact that as you are working on the spec, you actually understand what the project will do. You get to know every single feature in details, because this is your job. Isn't this amazing? You are actually responsible for understanding everything, so that when people ask questions, you know the answer. I don't know about you, but I really, really love that. At some point you have this complete picture of how the whole thing is going to work, how the different pieces will fit together, how they will interact, what the potential problems are, etc. This is one of the first things that made me start working with software, I guess – the opportunity to create, build, innovate.
Step 3. Make everyone happy
So, I spent quite some time writing the spec, and eventually I came up with a document that described what the project would do. This is where the best part came – getting all the people to agree on what I had written.
Basically, in order to get all the people to agree, you can do two things:
We are quite humane here at Microsoft, so we prefer the second approach. We conducted a bunch of pre-spec reviews, which are basically focused-on-the-spec meetings with the stakeholders. People give their comments, different issues are discussed, and eventually people get to a mutual agreement on what we are going to be doing.
The final step to achieving stakeholder happiness is conducting a Spec Review. This is a meeting with all the stakeholders, where you get a formal approval on the spec. Everyone sits and looks at the spec, and if you have done your job well, people should not have too much feedback at this meeting, because they should have already informally singed off. Our official spec review is on Monday, so wish us good luck!
It is funny that before I came here, I thought that Microsoft (being a huge company) is all about big piles of documentation and heavy processes, weird templates, etc. And you can't blame me; many companies actually do have those processes, even companies way smaller than Microsoft. So I was really struck when I asked "So, what template should I follow?" and the answer was "Well, whatever works for you". Of course, there are guidelines, but you aren't forced to follow them. They are really useful though, I learned so many new things from them… But it turns out that getting to a point where the spec is approved is really nothing more than just getting the right thing in it. Yes, getting the right things in is not too easy – for each feature developed you need to pay special attention to security, localization, performance, etc., because people are extremely cautious about all of those things. But provided you have those in, and people agree that what's in there is enough, you can use the layout or style you prefer. I don't know about you, but I really love this kind of freedom!
Step 4. Keep the spec up to date
After the spec review, the spec is printed and the document is marked as read-only, so that it can never be changed… You wish! :)The spec is a dynamic document and as time goes by, it is changed and updated, and it is the PM's job to keep it up to date. The PM is responsible for understanding each change and its impact, so that the team can make the correct decision about whether the change should be made or not.
Wow, this post is already quite long, and there are so many more things to write... So I guess I will just leave the initiative to you – if you are wondering about anything in particular, don't hesitate to ask! See you next week!
PingBack from http://filipefreitas.net/blog/?p=151
That was a decent write. Gives an insight into microsoft way!! thanks
Very nice insight into the development methodology of a team at Microsoft.
I have a few questions of practical nature.
In what kind of language are the specs written, could you give an example of a feature description?
Do you write the specs in Microsoft Word, or do you use a tailor-made system to do that? How do you version control the specs?
With kind regards,
Kind of surprised to know that PM writes spec. I thought PM was only responsible for schedules.
Hey Patrick, Shaobin
First of all, thank you so much for the interest and for the great questions!
Specs are written in plain English, as everyone across the company needs to understand them :) You can have a look at the online specs here:
Now the MS Word question. As strict as Microsoft is about getting the right things in the spec (e.g. you have to think a lot about security, extensibility, localization, performance, accessibility, etc.), what tool to use is up to you. You like mindmaps - use a mind mapping tool. You prefer HTML - great! Provided you get the right things in there and the team likes that, you are good. Plus, different teams use different tools, so you cannot say there is something really standard to use across the company. For me, however, MS Word works just fine, so this is my tool of preference.
Yes, you are right that one of the very important things PMs are responsible for are schedules. But if you think about it, in order to define or meet a project plan, you need to have really deep understanding of what the project involves. I cannot stress enough on how crucial this is, and this is one of the major reasons PMs are responsible for writing and maintaining the spec.
I think that it is a great discussion item though, so my question is - what is your understanding, who do you think should be responsible for the specs?
Well, I know how do you guys write a software at Microsoft...
I can see that from the number of bugs in VS2005 :-)
However, thanks for your post...
thanks for the great post. It would be wonderful if you could continue to explore the "life and responsibilities of a PM at MS" (you can then collect said posts and publish them under that name as a book ;) ).. good job though .. look forward to more similar posts.
HI, Slavi:
In one of the companies I worked for before(I still think their workflow is one of the best I ever know), there was a product definition group(PD). The group is a bridge between marketing and R&D dept. The PD group is in close contact with marketing group and transform marketing team's idea into product specifications.
BTW, PD writers are NOT necessarily programmers. But they are really good at using the software. After the initial docs are written, R&D managers will have meeting with PD people and discuss the feasibilties and costs of each features they request. The process is iterative and software engineers will provide their own concerns, estimates with respect to the documents.
In brief, the PM usually does not write specs(marketing is supposed to know the market best). But he/she definitely knows how all stuffs are supposed to unfold eventually.

It's rare to see Cee Lo Green without cat Purrfect at his side, having recently appeared together on the cover of Fast Company and the second season of The Voice.
The reality judge wouldn't have it any other way.
"I was very familiar with cats before I found Purrfect. I know this sounds crazy but I had, like, 20 cats when I was a kid," he tells PEOPLE.
"We started out with two cats," he continues. "My mother named them Pixie and Dixie, and I don't know how, [but] we ended up with 20 cats."
Since then, Cee Lo's found a special kinship with his one and only kitten costar.
"She's a special cat. Cats are usually careless – or they could care less – but she seems to be pretty compassionate," he says.
Their successful working relationship also led the two to team up for a remix of the Meow Mix jingle for charity, with proceeds benefiting the PAWS/LA organization.
To check out the making of the jingle, check out the video above.

Pesticides Found in California Rainfall Samples
(Beyond Pesticides, August 20, 2003) The U. S. Geological
Survey (USGS) released a report on August 19, on their finding of the
pesticides diazinon and chlorpyrifos in all rainfall samples collected
in the Modesto, California area during January and February 2001 storms.
The report, "Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos Loads in Precipitation and
Urban and Agricultural Storm Runoff during January and February 2001
in the San Joaquin River Basin, California," found concentrations
of these two insecticides in the rainfall samples exceeding proposed
state guidelines for the protection of aquatic life in most samples,
by up to a factor of 10 for diazinon, and up to a factor of 7.4 for
"Many pesticides become airborne during the application process
and can drift off-site," said Michael Majewski, a USGS scientist
and expert in atmospheric deposition who contributed to the study. "After
they are applied, many pesticides volatilize into the lower atmosphere,
a process that can continue for days, weeks, or months after the application,
depending on the compound. In addition, pesticides can become airborne
attached to wind-blown dust."
Rainfall samples collected during the dormant spray season in Modesto
and the surrounding agricultural areas exceeded the state guidelines
by an average factor of 5.7 for diazinon and 3.1 for chlorpyrifos. Simultaneously,
storm runoff samples were collected from an urban storm drain where
diazinon concentration exceeded the proposed state aquatic life guidelines
by an average factor of 9.5. Sixty-eight percent of the diazinon concentration
found in the storm drain runoff could be accounted for by the concentration
in the rainfall.
Additionally, samples were collected from the San Joaquin, Merced, Stanislaus,
and Tuolumne rivers, and Orestimba Creek during this study. Sixty out
of a total of 240 of these samples exceeded the proposed state guideline
for diazinon and 18 for chlorpyrifos. The highest concentrations of
diazinon occurred in the San Joaquin River where concentrations exceeded
the state guidelines by as much as 3.6 times. The highest chlorpyrifos
concentrations occurred at Orestimba Creek where samples exceeded the
state guidelines by a factor of 3.4.
"It is important to recognize that the application of these pesticides
affect all parts of the hydrologic cycle," said the report's lead
author, USGS scientist Celia Zamora. "It is during rainfall events
that these pesticides get washed out of the atmosphere and produce run-off
at surprisingly high levels that exceed the guidelines for protection
of aquatic life."
The study will continue through 2004 at six sites in the San Joaquin
River Basin and two additional sites in the Sacramento River Basin.
The complete results of the study will be forthcoming. This study was
funded by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation to provide
additional information to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality
Control Board for their development of Total Maximum Daily Load regulation
for diazinon and chlorpyrifos in the San Joaquin Basin.

|Kayla Gray
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – Kayla Gray (Buffalo, N.Y.) set career highs on vault, floor exercise and all-around, matched her personal best uneven-bar score and registered a team-leading balance beam mark to lead the University of New Hampshire gymnastics team to third place Sunday afternoon at West Virginia's Wendy M. Roach Invitational Quad-Meet.
The Wildcats (10-5, 5-2 East Atlantic Gymnastics League) compiled their largest road score of the season with a 194.875 to defeat EAGL rival Towson (7-10, 0-4 EAGL), which scored a 193.150. Third-ranked Michigan (12-1, 5-1 Big Ten) won the meet with a 196.925, while No. 25 West Virginia (8-6, 1-1 Big 12) tallied a 196.550 for second place.
"The Wildcats stepped it up tonight against some of the toughest teams in the country," head coach Gail Goodspeed said. "It was a great away meet with terrific team energy. We certainly proved what we could do."
UNH had the difficult assignment of starting the meet on beam, but the 'Cats kept their composure in the nerve-wracking event to score a 48.650. Gray set the tone with a 9.850, earning a share of third place in the process. Jannelle Minichiello (Tewskbury, Mass.) hit for a season-best 9.725, which matched teammate Austyn Fobes (Howell, N.J.) for 14th place. Michigan's Katie Zurales, the country's 13th-ranked beam performer, won the event with a staggering 9.925.
The Wildcats roared back in the second rotation by notching their top floor exercise score of the season, a 49.225. Gray and Erika Rudiger (Slidell, La.) set career highs and Hannah Barile (Sinking Spring, Pa.) matched her personal best with tying marks of 9.875, part of a five-way deadlock for fifth place. The Mountaineers' Kaylyn Millick and the Wolverines' Joanna Sampson, the nation's No. 2 floor performer, tied for gold with matching marks of 9.950.
In the third rotation Barile stuck her vault for a personal-best-tying and team-high 9.825, which secured a share of ninth place. Fobes earned a 9.775 to tie for 13th place, and Gray made it two straight career-high events with a 9.725 (16th place). The 'Cats hit 6-for-6 on their powerful vault routines to score a 48.725. Zurales recorded a 9.925 for first place.
Gray followed up her back-to-back personal bests by matching her career-high bar score with a 9.800 to share fifth place. Fobes complemented that effort with a 9.775 (T-8th), and Minichiello's 9.725 was good for 13th place, helping UNH score a 48.275. Michigan's Joanna Sampson took the gold with a 9.875.
Gray finished in second place courtesy of her career-high 39.250 all-around score, which was just one-tenth behind all-around champion Millick.
UNH will return to Lundholm Gymnasium to take on Towson, Yale, and Brown in the annual UNH Invitational on Saturday, March 2, at 4 p.m. That will be the Senior Day meet for Jen Aucoin (Mullica Hill, N.J.), Courtney Connors (Buffalo, N.Y.), Fobes and Becca Marrama (Lynnfield, Mass.).

Jan. 10, 2012
Albuquerque, N. M. --- Former University of New Mexico football player Carmen Messina has been selected to play in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game in Tucson, Ariz., on Monday.
The second annual game, known last year as the Eastham Energy All-Star Game, will match the Stars (East) against the Stripes (West) at 6 p.m. at Kino Stadium.
This year's list of players includes LSU quarterback Jarrett Lee, Colorado running back Rodney Stewart and San Diego State defensive tackle Jerome Long.
Messina, a starting linebacker for the Lobos for three seasons, and the rest of the players flew to Tucson on Tuesday and will practice this week in front of professional scouts.
"It's a great opportunity for me to showcase my skills against some of the best players in the country," Messina said. "I'm happy to be able to represent the University of New Mexico."
Messina was a two-time first-team All-Mountain West selection in 2010 and 2012 and he left UNM as the third leading tackler in school history as well as the all-time leader in the MW with 454 career stops.
He has been training back home in Addison, Ill., in hopes of impressing NFL scouts and finding a professional football home next season.
"This week is really important for me," the 6-foot-2, 236-pound Messina said. "I can't take any repetition or waste any repetition this week during practice. I have to do as much as I can with every opportunity I have."
After the game, Messina will train for UNM's Pro Day at a facility in Atlanta.

Last night, Occupy DC put up a new non-permanent structure for occupiers and Washington, DC, community. [Here's video of the structure going up.]
Park police did not approve and asked Occupy DC to take it down. The occupation said they would not take it down. On Twitter, @OccupyKSt tweeted, "This structure is our way of escalating without being destructive; you can "smash" the status quo without smashing anything." It was being put up for General Assembly meetings, teach-ins and other community building activities/events.
Furthermore, Occupy DC put out a statement on "The Wooden Structure." An excerpt reads:
The modular structure was designed by professionals 'to code'. It meets all health and safety requirements and is fully accessible. It is non-permanent, has no foundations and is not tethered to the ground. It's designed to be movable every four days to protect the grass beneath the structure. The structure is fully sustainable–it is built to be entirely passively solar-heated and will feature a hydroponic irrigation system on the roof.
Two hours ago they began trying to take down the structure themselves.
Photos have been coming in of police action. More and more DC police are coming to the park. A SWAT team is about to move in. They have been tearing down parts of the non-permanent structure.
Occupiers have climbed on top of the structure. That may be part of why a SWAT team is being moved in to the area. [UPDATE – 6:28 PM: As far as I can tell, there was no SWAT team action (photo via @michaelbolden)
Michael Bolden also reports that the police action is in just one quadrant of the park around the structure making what is transpiring a bit surreal. For example (also via Bolden):
Police tape is going up (12:44 PM EST) (via Bolden)

Once you are done listening to that, listen to other fine activists that were on the show here, whom we've been following here: @kennethlipp, @lissnup & @juliacreinhart.
9:40 PM Occupy Baltimore faces prospect of eviction after permit renewal is denied
9:32 PM Removed livestream as action has mostly concluded.
9:31 PM This is a nice report on Occupy K St action today that transpired because of a structure moved into the park.
9:30 PM Occupy Albany (which I visited on my Northeast tour) now being required to limit the number of tents in the park:
9:29 PM Pieces of the structure being taken away by a truck.
9:20 PM And the structure is collapsed by a forklift and police (via Michael Bolden) —
9:09 PM Now here's another picture from Michael Bolden — of a forklift being used to remove structure:
The structure is being disassembled. Also, those arrested earlier today already released. One of them just appeared on livestream.
9:00 PM Scene has calmed. Nobody facing arrest right now. 31 have been arrested at Occupy DC thus far. This live blog today is not supposed to be an Occupy DC live blog so since action has died down I will begin to add some items on other occupations.
8:28 PM Well, what a relief. Police throw down American flag. I'll hope that gets more attention than David the Occupier taking a piss.
8:15 PM Last remaining occupier on the roof, David, did piss off the roof. He had been up on the roof 9 hours. I don't want to say I would not have done what David did because I would not have had the guts to climb up on top of the roof in the first place, but I do think it should be noted this will be a major part of corporate media's story now. Right wing media will especially fixate on the occupier leaking.
7:30 PM Three people remain on the roof. "Paintball gun" has come out to coerce occupiers into getting down.
7:17 PM We interrupt this farce that is finishing up for a reminder of how police brutality against the Occupy movement has seeped into American culture:
7:05 PM Being called the "moon bounce" (photo via @lindseymastis)—
Cops on scene are heavily armed, according to livestream guy narrating.
7:01 PM Two occupiers on roof of structure are jump on to "suicide cushion." Both arrested. Four remain atop structure. Being taken down now. (photo via Lacy Macauley
Declaration of Occupy DC being human mic'd.
6:49 PM You can see the "suicide cushion" deployed for occupiers on the roof (via Michael Bolden):
6:47 PM From Michael Bolden:
This brought in to get people down from the rooftop.
This has been going on since 10:30 am by the way. For eight hours, police have been slowly moving in to destroy structure and get occupiers off the roof.
CNN is there live from the scene.
6:36 PM I adjust the blog intro to be factually accurate because there has been no SWAT action yet. And then SWAT moves in to remove occupiers on top of the structure. They have moved the "suicide cushion" into the structure.
6:33 PM This a photo of the scene at Occupy DC from @daveweigel:
6:28 PM Much thanks to FDL member TarheelDem for this summary of the last hour:
Four people on the roof. They chant "Don't hurt Georgia." The General Assembly is postponed. More Park police coming in now. @unknown_vector and @babee_einstein are arrested (for those who have been following their Twitter streams).
Two are left on the ground and five on the roof. Those two are then arrested. Supporters are thanked. One of the protesters on the roof says "They don't know what to do with us." GA meeting that had been postponed is now going to happen at the jailhouse. Five still on the roof of the structure. More park police arrive.
Paddy wagons with twenty-some-odd protesters leave. There are still five on the roof.
Maybe shift change instead of OT. Police bring in a "suicide cushion", a huge air mattress (to help get down five occupiers on rooftop of the non-permanent structure?).
5:08 PM Tarp and wood from the structure being loaded into a truck now.
5:10 PM Six occupiers on the roof of the structure, 14 are inside (via @OccupyWashDC)
5:05 PM Another livestream you can watch. There are orange stickers on the structure now that are to signify the structure is dangerous.
4:51 PM Earlier on livestream was confirmed DC Metro police were there for "crowd control" purposes only. The police in the park are now apparently park police. From the messages I have been reading from people there at the site, it doesn't look like Occupy DC is being evicted. What is happening is people in and around a structure are in an area that has been cordoned off. They are risking arrest. There may be a time when they have to move so police can confiscate structure. Not moving will mean they are arrested.
This action has all been in one area of the park. Rest of the park may be caution taped but as far as I can tell others in the park are still there peacefully occupying and watching this slow action unfold.
4:49 PM This is the scene one hour ago at Occupy DC. Barricades have been brought in and media has been pushed out so they can barely view what is happening in the area around the structure where occupiers are risking arrest. (photo via @lacymacauley)
4:47 PM Just now a safety inspector was sent in to look at the new non-permanent structure occupiers put up.
4:39 PM Had to step away just as action was escalating. Bringing the blog up-to-date now.
12:55 PM The arrest area is being expanded by police.
12:53 PM Washington Post has a post on the developing story, as they have reporters at the scene. This covers the arrests that have already been made.
12:51 PM Explainer on the shelter that was put up by Occupy DC, which police do not like.
12:48 PM I Street is now blocked off at 14th (Michael Bolden reports)
12:46 PM Flag planted on non-permanent structure (via @timcraigpost):
12:45 PMReport from Matt Ackland: "I heard officer tell guy with American flag not to take it over the police line. Guy did it anyway, and cop chased him down."
12:40 PM Follow @timcraigpost, @MattAckland and @MichaelBolden for latest. Also, adding them to the Twitter list.
12:30 PM Livestream will be back up. The iPhone being used ran out of battery.

Hamann TYCOON EVO M based on BMW X6 M Set for Geneva Debut
The Hamann Tycoon Evo M which is based on the BMW X6 M is headed for the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and will be exhibited on the tuner's 200 square metre stand. Plus it's packing a pretty mean punch. Hamann liked what they saw in the X6 M but decided more muscle would be even better.
Modifications have resulted in a hike to 493kW (670 PS / 661 hp) at 6,000rpm and peak torque of 780Nm (575 lb-ft) torque between 1,500 and 5,650rpm. The 0 - 100km/h time is dispatched in a matter of 4.2 seconds while top speed exceeds the official 250km/h (155 mph) by an extra 50km/h (31 mph).
Based on the X6 Tycoon Evo kit we've seen before, Hamann made a few cosmetic/ performance changes including the installation of enlarged air inlets in the front, a carbon bonnet, a stainless steel high performance exhaust system and two centrally mounted tailpipes.
HAMANN-Motorsport presents the TYCOON EVO M based on the new BMW X6 M
HAMANN-Motorsport, the renowned specialist for exquisite refinements of BMW-automobiles shows its latest developments on the 80th Geneva Motor Show. The masculine show-piece on the HAMANN exhibition stand with 200 square metres is the world premiere of the 670 hp/493kW strong and 300 km/h fast TYCOON EVO M based on the BMW X6 M.
The TYCOON EVO M - powerful appearance with striking design
Already the shape of the TYCOON EVO M with its impressive broad built gives a good hint of what is to be discovered. Mainly responsible for that are the front and the rear wing extensions made of light composite materials. These let the body expand by impressive 60 millimetres. Additionally, the HAMANN designers enhanced the sides with the newly designed side skirts. The distinctive hallmark of the front is the apron with the four striking LED daytime running lights. But the body set does not only emphasise the appearance, enlarged air inlets in the front and the carbon bonnet allow an optimised air ventilation of the engine compartment. At the X6 M rear, HAMANN also replaces the original skirt with an own development. This makes room for the earthy sounding sports exhaust system with the centrally positioned double end pipes. The rear view of the TYCOON EVO M is perfected with beautifully designed rear- and roof spoilers. All of those components produce a low-swirling airflow over the vehicle silhouette and render additional downthrust.
Rich performance enhancement thanks to optimised exhaust gas flow
In addition to the spectacular shape of the TYCOON EVO M the HAMANN engine department added a powerful performance enhancement for the serial engine. The most significant component for the performance enhancement and responsible for the dynamic and earthy sound of the TYCOON EVO M is the stainless steel high performance exhaust system with metal catalysers. A newly programmed map for the serial motronic completes the upgrade and suspending the speed limit of 250 km/h allows unrestrained driving pleasures.
As a result of the modifications, the X6 M now offers 670 hp / 493 kW at 6,000 r.p.m. and 780 Nm torque at 1,500 - 5,650 r.p.m. This is a surplus of 115 hp and 100 Nm compared to the serial version. Therefore, the all-wheel accelerated from 0 to 100 in only 4,2 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 300 km/h.
Varying rim designs and sizes
Specially adjusted to the increased requirements of the TYCOON EVO M, the refining specialist presents varying wheel designs and sizes. A highlight concerning styling and technology is the rim model UNIQUE FORGED ANODIZED produced in most modern forged technology. The dynamic shape of the delicate, anodised cross spokes does not only lead to a dynamic and striking look, but also results in an even weight distribution and therefore guarantees higher bearing loads. HAMANN offers the 23-inch wheel in the dimensions 11.0 x 23 at the front- and 12.0 x 23 at the rear axle, combined with wheels measuring 315/25 R 23.
The light alloy wheels are especially emphasised with the HAMANN lowering kit. Progressively coiled springs at the front axle and a modification kit for the rear axle thereby lower the centre of gravity of the Sports Utility Vehicle by approx. 40 millimetres.
Most noble interior applications underline the motor sports atmosphere
In addition to the existing factory-provided interior, HAMANN offers accessories made of black-anodised aluminium in combination with carbon applications. Pedals and foot rest render motor sports air and perfectly match the 12-part HAMANN decoration set made of carbon fibre. An three-spoke sports steering wheel additionally render the TYCOON EVO M a dynamic overall appearance. For the luggage compartment in the back of the X6 M, HAMANN offers an elegant and practical boot mat with diamond-shaped decorations and an embroidered logo.

Our Work
This is an excerpt from MSF-USA's from 2013 Annual Report:
Nomadic people, refugees, people in conflict-affected areas, and those located in the remotest parts of Ethiopia lack access to health services.
Responding to the lack of medical services for pregnant women and young children, MSF runs a program focused on maternal and child health in Sidama, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region (SNNPR). People are seen at Mejo and Chire health centers, and through outreach activities in 15 locations. A maternity waiting home offers women with high risk births a place to stay for one to two weeks before delivery, so that they are close to emergency obstetric services. In 2013, the team provided 10,460 ante- and postnatal consultations, assisted 800 deliveries, and vaccinated 19,260 children. The inpatient department saw 3,000 patients.
Visceral leishmaniasis, or kala azar, a parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of an infected sandfly, is endemic and sometimes epidemic in Ethiopia. In Abdurafi, Amhara region, MSF provides treatment for people with kala azar and HIV/AIDS, and for those co-infected with tuberculosis (TB). MSF completed the handover of patients with simple HIV to the Bureau of Health in 2013. The Abdurafi program also offers nutritional support for patients and treatment for malnourished children under five.
Filling Health Care Gaps in the Somali Region
Underdevelopment, a shortage of qualified senior health workers, and conflict between government forces and armed anti-government groups all pose barriers to health care in the Somali region. In Degehabur, MSF supported the regional hospital with emergency obstetric services, mental health care, assistance for victims of violence including sexual violence, treatment for malnutrition, and TB. Basic health care was provided through mobile clinics in Birqod, Ararso, and Degehabur woredas. Teams carried out 3,460 antenatal consultations and enrolled 960 children in nutrition programs. Mental health activities, including counseling and therapy groups, were attended by 890 people, and 430 patients began TB treatment. A fully equipped 35-bed ward was built to provide better care for children requiring hospitalization. Drugs and materials for the management of health activities were also provided. Improvements were made in water quality and supply in MSF-supported health facilities and a team completed a measles vaccination campaign with the Bureau of Health.
In the Wardher area, MSF supported Wardher hospital, focusing on specialist care for severely ill or malnourished children, maternity services, and TB treatment. Basic health care was offered at Yucub health post, and two health centers in Danod and Yucub received support in the form of staff, medical supplies, and training to provide quality health services to the surrounding population. Additionally, regular mobile clinics traveled to nine outlying locations and provided antenatal care, therapeutic feeding, and immunizations. A free ambulance served another 12 villages. Teams treated 1,467 children for malnutrition, provided 2,242 women with antenatal care, and assisted 325 deliveries.
Critical Refugee Assistance
Teams continued to provide specialist health care for Somali refugees and the host population in Dolo Ado, Liben zone, Somali region. Services include an inpatient department, emergency obstetric surgery, and a therapeutic feeding center for children. Teams vaccinated 12,180 children against measles and, in collaboration with the Regional Bureau of Health, also carried out several rounds of polio vaccination.
In the western region of Benishangul-Gumuz, a team provided aid to South Sudanese refugees. An evaluation of the emergency nutrition program that started in 2012 in Bambasi camp showed that people's nutritional status had greatly improved. MSF continued to work with local authorities to improve health care and nutritional services in Bambasi, Tongo, and at the new Ashura camp. Teams undertook 23,170 consultations and admitted 21,025 children to supplementary feeding programs across all three camps.
In July, following an outbreak of violence in South Sudan, MSF started providing assistance to an estimated 3,000 refugees and 3,000 people in the host community of Raad, Gambella region. By the end of the year, teams had carried out 5,500 consultations, and vaccinated 1,280 children against measles and 1,980 against meningitis.
Responding to Drought and Deportation
The worst drought recorded in recent years in Afar region had a severe impact on people's health and nutrition. In April, MSF responded by sending a team to Teru Woreda, a harsh and difficult to reach area that lacks development support. Staff set up a supplementary feeding program and an inpatient unit, and carried out mobile treatment activities. More than 1,880 children received medical care.
In November, the government of Saudi Arabia began deporting "illegal" foreign workers, resulting in the arrival of 154,837 Ethiopian men, women, and children at Bole airport by the end of December. MSF provided psychosocial support to 15,673 people. One-fifth of those receiving individual consultations were found to have a mental illness and 40 were referred to the psychiatric hospital in Addis Ababa for further treatment.
Program Closures
TB is the second-most common cause of death in Ethiopia after malaria, and there are indications that drug-resistant forms of the disease are on the rise. MSF assisted the Bureau of Health in establishing an innovative program for TB treatment in Dire Dawa. The team handed over the project after donating diagnostic equipment, fine-tuning medical protocols, and making modifications to the TB ward and people's homes so that they could undergo treatment without a lengthy hospital stay.
The clinic in East Imey, Somali region, was handed over to the Bureau of Health in March, and the therapeutic feeding center in Buramino refugee camp was closed in April. MSF also handed over the project providing inpatient, maternity, and nutrition care at a health center in Mattar, north of Gambella city, in June. In the first half of the year, teams carried out 33,140 health and 650 antenatal consultations, and assisted 170 births.
At the end of 2013, MSF had 1,226 staff in Ethiopia. MSF has been working in the country since 1984.
Patient Story
Badoo, 40 years old
"I gave birth seven days ago to a baby girl. I delivered my baby in the bush where I live, as I have done with all my previous babies. I have ten children. A traditional birth attendant delivered my baby but soon after I became very sick. I had a very high fever and was shaking uncontrollably.
I felt like all the energy was leaving my body. I had been cut very badly and became infected after the birth; I found it painful to pass urine and the pain made me want to be sick and I almost fainted. I told my family that I felt very unwell and I needed help.
My family put me on a donkey cart and it took two hours to get here. The road isn't good but it's sandy so I was able to cope with the journey even though it was very hot and exhausting. I have been in the hospital two days and the staff check my blood pressure. They have given me medicine and have put me on an oxygen machine. The doctor says I look better now and I feel like I'm getting a little more energy in my body.
I feel like now I am here in the hospital I will be OK. I was in a lot of pain but every day that I'm here I feel a little bit better. I have to breathe with an oxygen mask because I'm still weak. If I had stayed in the bush and not come to hospital I don't know what would have happened to me."

The SM-3 Block 1A successfully intercepted a target missile that had been launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii. The Lake Erie's crew detected and tracked the target and its weapons system developed a fire control solution. The crew then launched the SM-3, with the intercept occurring a few minutes later. The test was the 24th successful intercept test in 30 flight test attempts for the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense program since flight testing began in 2002. (AP Photo/Naval Air Systems Command)

Photographing America

Thames and Hudson | ISBN 9780500543702
Hardback – 180 pages
Member's price: $72.00

This book draws a parallel between the photographs on America made by Evans and Cartier-Bresson in the period from 1928 to 1948. Evans was well-established, had already published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men with James Agee, and was at work on Many Are Called. Cartier-Bresson, on the other hand, was just beginning his new career as a photographer. Although they both approached their work as a form of social criticism, imbued with references to literature and painting, their practices were always quite distinct. 120 color photographs

The Ravens have forgiven running back Ray Rice for his playoff fumbles. Donovan McNabb has not.
Now an analyst with NFL Network, McNabb criticized Rice for being fumble-prone during a segment on the network. After fumbling just once during the 2012 regular season, Rice fumbled three times during the playoffs - twice against the Colts, and once during the Super Bowl against the 49ers.
"Ray Rice we know is a Pro Bowler that can make big plays for you, but he has a tendency of fumbling the ball entirely too much,'' said McNabb, who played most of his career with the Eagles. "So expect for Bernard Pierce to step up and really be that guy."
You might call McNabb an expert on the subject. He fumbled 95 times during his 13-year career.
Rice has been terrific with ball-security during the regular season, fumbling just seven times over his five-year career. However, the playoffs have been a different story. Rice has fumbled six times in 11 career playoff games, losing three of them.
Expect Rice to be asked about McNabb's comments at a future date. Do not expect Rice and McNabb to have dinner together anytime soon.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A new whiskey created in Kentucky features a blend of age and scarcity that spiked demand — and its price.
As a result, whiskey fans including celebrities and corporate chiefs are angling to snatch up limited stocks of Michter's Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey for nearly $4,000 per bottle. Shots won't come cheap, either, fetching an expected $350 a pop.
Limited-edition offerings, with heftier prices than typical stocks, have become commonplace as American whiskey makers dabble in new flavors to lure customers. But the latest introduction by Michter's Distillery LLC breaks into a pricing stratosphere that could reverberate across the industry.
"This is kind of new territory," said industry observer F. Paul Pacult, editor of the newsletter Spirit Journal.
"It's going to start a whole rush of interest in very high-end bourbons, American whiskeys and American spirits. This kind of throws the challenge out."
The Michter's product will reach shelves Monday in select liquor stores, restaurants, bars or hotels in such places as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Aspen, Colo., Chicago, Palm Beach, Fla., Houston and Boston. The company produced a scant 273 bottles of the blend of whiskeys, some aged up to 30 years, and all are spoken for, its top executive said.
"We've been turning down orders," said Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.
Willie Pratt, master distiller at Michter's, blended the whiskey from his favorite barrels, Magliocco said.
Christian Navarro, president of Wally's Wine & Spirits in Los Angeles, plans to sell the product for $3,600 per bottle, more than he paid for his first car.
He had at least five takers for each of his bottles, with movie stars and rock singers among those vying for the limited supply, he said.
"They said, 'I'll pay you in advance,"' Navarro said, adding: "I can't get enough of this product."
The introduction adds a new twist to the growing super-premium whiskey market. The Celebration bottles are embossed with gold labeling, part of the elaborate packaging by Michter's, a small, Louisville-based company known for its premium bourbons and rye whiskeys starting at $45 per bottle.
The company is in the process of expanding its small distillation capacity. Currently, it makes most of its whiskey at another distillery, using Michter's recipes, with its older whiskeys coming from stocks it bought up.
Typically, prices for limited-edition American whiskeys topped out at a few hundred dollars per bottle, though Michter's does offer a 20-year-old bourbon that sells for $600 a bottle and a 25-year-old whiskey that retails for up to $700 a bottle. That pales next to the select single-malt Scotches, cognacs and brandies aged for decades, which can fetch tens of thousands of dollars per bottle.
Pacult said the introduction reinforces a trend showcasing the rising quality of American distilling.
"Up until just about 10 or 12 years ago, American distilling was looked upon as kind of the idiot stepchild of Ireland and Scotland and France," he said. "But now we're seeing that's not the case at all. Perhaps the most exciting innovations are now being made" in the U.S.
Stocks of 20- or 30-year-old American whiskeys are extremely limited, as larger whiskey makers typically tap into their barrels much sooner to try to keep up with demand.
The bourbon sector's focus has been on churning out higher-end products, led by small-batch and single-barrel bourbons. Jim Beam, the world's top bourbon producer, plans to launch a single-barrel offering next March. The makers of Wild Turkey, Evan Williams and Woodford Reserve rolled out special selections in recent years.
U.S. sales for super-premium whiskeys shot up 94 percent within a decade — from $741 million in 2003 to $1.44 billion in 2012, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, a Washington lobbying group. Sales for the entire whiskey category grew 47 percent, from $4.3 billion in 2003 to $6.3 billion in 2012, according to the group. The category includes bourbon, Scotch, and Irish, Canadian and Tennessee whiskey.
Some buyers see hard-to-get spirits as solid investments, given the popularity of American spirits at auctions.
"Just like people who collect baseball cards as kid, there are those who are collecting whiskeys as adults," said Jonathan Goldstein, vice president of Park Avenue Liquor Shop in New York.
Others want to build up collections for sipping later, or to hold on to the spirits for special occasions, like their children's weddings. If the bottles rise in value, they might be tempted to sell them — to pay for the weddings, Goldstein said.

By Bill from USA on 2014-02-24 10:28:43Things I liked:This is a great pistol. I had purchased a Walther P22 and the mag release broke so when I called Pyramydair for a warranty replacement I asked them to replace it with this Co2 Ruger P345PR! No problem, they told me! That was great!! This pistol has a great feel and balance and is very accurate for an airsoft! The first Co2 leaked some but after the remoil I put on the first Co2 top did it's thing no more leaks! I got 180 shots out of the 2nd Co2, Wow! They hit hard and were accurate. Sites are great, trigger pull is nice and smooth! It shoots great with the .20 BB's, not as accurate with .12's. No regrets on this purchase. I got the clear one since it was cheaper then the black and love it. Clear is cool! Thanks Pyramydair for the great customer service!
Things I would have changed:No gripes for me on this one! It would be nice to see a steel Co2 screw with a metal trigger and a 2nd mag, but I guess plastic is the norm for this price range for an airsoft pistol!
What others should know:Have fun with this pistol and thanks again Pyramydair for great customer service and prices on everything! Maybe you can see what you can do about lowering shipping costs though!! ?? Amazon is lower! ??

Thanks, Lena! You can find the Play Doh Valentines Bag at Chapter's/Indigo, Shoppers Drug Mart & Wal-mart. I bought a bag tonight at Shoppers for $7.99.Delete
That is such a clever and cute idea Diana! I actually bought little play doh's for the kids to give out, I'm going to do this. No cricut though, it may take more time, but worth it!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Tammi! It was definitely fun to put together!Delete
I love this idea! I wish I could say that I'm going to do it... ;)ReplyDelete
It's easy if you own a Cricut machine.Delete
This is awesome! What a thoughtful yet practical gift. This will certainly be appreciated in sugar/nut/gluten/chocolate free classes!ReplyDelete
I personally prefer it over edible treats of any kinds.Delete
Thanks, Corinne!Delete
You are too totally clever. I love this idea!ReplyDelete
Aw, shucks! #FlowerPowerDelete
Very creative...so cute.
Work of arts, it's beautiful.ReplyDelete
That's really cute, until the kid opens the Play Dough. Our kids used to make such a mess with that stuff that we decided to only give it to the kids of parents we didn't like. ;)
It can definitely get messy. Which is why this small can is the perfect size. Less mess!Delete
Love the flower idea!!! :) So lovely.ReplyDelete
