Sorry for the long absence here, been doing a lot of commissions and other stuff I cannot talk about. Enjoy this quick sketch of Realistic Mega Charizard. I lost my shit when I saw him, super cool. To answer a few questions: Yes, I have a plan for what mega evolution is in my take on the Pokemon world, but I will reveal it later. Yes, I like mega evolutions. Yes, there is more new Pokemon art coming soon. The mega Pokemon I most want to see are MegaMeganium and MegaYanmega if only because of their names.

I can't wait for this one and the other mega of charizard.
You should paint this guy up!
MegaCharizard X= a mutated Charizard that's too heavy to get airborne XD
looks epic
I don't know if this is what you'll go for, but they could be mutated forms of the original that use the mutations to their advantage. For example: mega charizard y uses the small fins on its arms to be more aerodynamic as the original is quite 'podgy.' Once exposed to unique stones, a trainer can accelerate the mutation process.
Are you gonna treat the Meg evolutions as some sort of subspecies?
I have him! He's amazing at wiping out teams! Watch out team Flare! I have a present for you!
I can't wait for the finished product of this picture. I also hope to see your version of Mega Charizard X. !! ^^
I love your work, will you be doing Mega Charizard X as well?
stunning details. very realistic and also working great as a whole, like they do exist for real. beautiful work.
Do X!
I think the designs of the mega evolutions are probably the most pleasing part of X and Y even though I don't know why it was a necessary mechanic I think they should start making other spin offs like mystery dungeon and pokepark or another Colosseum/XD Gale of Darkness again or at least more frequent. Mega Charizard X looks good, I think my favorite is Mega Kangaskhan and Aggron. I'm still very hurt seeing the start evolution finals though be interesting to see your interpretations of them in the future.
Looks epic! Can't wait for the final product
dude make more pokemon pleeeaaaasse
Mega Charizard X has been announced!
I can't freaking wait!!!
Love this!
c: <333
How do you fell about them blowing the opportunity to make it dragon-fire type with levitate?
Now your dreams become true
Mega Charizard X
i like it as fire flying
Also, how did you feel about Origins?
Waiting for the english version, I dont watch subs if I can avoid it.
Do you think you'll draw Mega Charizard X?
Yeah, but a quad weakness to stealth rock, among a weakness to common attacking types like water and electric really drag it down. If it was part dragon, rock would only do 2x damage, and water and electricity would do normal.
So I just wanted to pop in and say that you've inspired me to attempt to make one of these pages of realistic Pokemon to the best of my ability. Probably won't be as FANTASTIC as yours, but I'm gonna try. I'll do buttloads of research and stuff and then get tired and draw a bunch of dinosaurs
This picture inspired/forced me to think up a real-world evolution and Mega Evolution theory, and I gotta write it down before I forget:
If Pokemon were real, I'd imagine during normal evolution, a Pokemon would undergo hundreds of thousands of years worth of chemical and physical change, and - depending on the pokemon and how intensely it was trained and raised - evolution would be a process that would take anywhere between a few days up to a month, tops. This period of accelerated growth would probably put a lot of stress on a pokemon's body and it probably would not be considered wise to have a pokemon battle or do anything exerting while it is evolving.
Evolution and growth/maturity aren't the same thing for Pokemon. Any pokemon can live out its entire life and never evolve, and for pokemon only kept as pets this would be typical. Wild Pokemon don't evolve nearly as quickly as trained Pokemon do, and even then, they only evolve if or when their ecosystem allows it; factors contributing to why it is relatively rare to see fully evolved Pokemon in the wild. How long it takes to initiate the evolution process, and how much time a Pokemon spends evolving all depends on how the Pokemon was raised and how intensely it was trained. For example, on average, it might take a wild cyndaquil a full month, give or take, to completely finish evolving into a quilava once the evolution process initiates. For a casually trained cyndaquil it might take half that time, and for a competitively trained cyndaquil it might only take a week or just a few days.
Mega Evolution, however, i imagine would be an instantaneous thing - not unlike an adrenaline boost; except that when Mega evolution is activated, a Pokemon would undergo a few thousand years worth of change in just a few short seconds. This is a process that must be extremely painful, but extremely rewarding as the Pokemon grows new bones, muscles, ligaments, etc. that it didn't have before. Like an adrenaline boost, I'd imagine Mega evolution only lasts for relatively a short period, and is probably physically exhausting for the pokemon when it is over.
Sorry for the text wall, but I had to write that down. I don't actually expect anybody to read this.
This is a really cool idea, I had something of the same idea in mind as well, but I probably couldn't put it to words aha :>
I'd like to see a take of the Jiggly Puff and Lickitung families, but i'd assume they'd be quite difficult.
Maybe not Lickitung, because they look very amphibian, but Jiggly Puff doesn't really look like any kind of animal.
with the amount of starters from older generations we're getting megameganium is a very real possibility
Looks amazing, just needs some color
woah epic dude
Dude. these are boss! Too freaking cool
Cool~! O.O
MegaSeadramon! Just kidding, my favorite so far is MegaAmpharos.
Cool piece I'd love to see a full one with all three gen 1 megas
Why not included in the Charizard work?
That would be epic, Mega Charizard flying above and A Shiny Charizard at the Right. I would love to see that.
That would be epic, Mega Charizard flying above and A Shiny Charizard at the Right. I would love to see that.
Thing is, Yanmega's japanese name is already Megayanma.
That's going to be a bit awkward
That's going to be a bit awkward
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwr, so cute! <3
i loved the new mega starters! but charizard, including mega will always be my favorite
I just want to hug him I would probably die, but meh. Great pose!

UHV Professor Attends Leadership Conference for Mathematics Instructors
Dr. Barba Patton, assistant professor in the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Houston-Victoria, recently joined other mathematics educators from across the United States and Canada at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Affiliate Leaders Conference in Manchester, N.H. Bearing the theme "Leadership for Leaders," the conference included a variety of leadership-enhancing professional activities for mathematics educators that promoted a commitment to improving mathematics education for all students.
The conference was designed to strengthen state, local, student, and at-large mathematics councils in the areas of partnership, membership and leadership. Attendees had the opportunity to identify their leadership strengths, network and exchange ideas, develop action plans, and share strategies. Members of the council's Affiliate Services Committee facilitated an exchange of ideas and expertise for strengthening affiliates and for making affiliate leaders more effective in their roles.
"Today, the demands of No Child Left Behind, high stakes tests, and the importance of mathematics for all students, means that more than ever teachers look to NCTM and their affiliates for guidance and support to meet these challenges. The council and affiliate leaders are partners in preparing the next generation of teacher leaders to organize professional development activities, become master teachers, and lead the profession," said NCTM President Francis Fennell.
NCTM was founded in 1920 and is a nonprofit, nonpartisan education association. With 100,000 members and more than 240 affiliates located throughout the United States and Canada, NCTM is the world's largest organization dedicated to improving mathematics education for all students. Affiliate Leaders Conferences offer a forum for the council's affiliates to examine and strengthen their role in providing opportunities for emerging, new and seasoned teachers to grow professionally.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor's and master's degree
programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face
classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its
founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.

Expert Rating
Fiona Duncan, Telegraph Travel's hotel expert, reviews the best and worst of Britain's hotels and bed and breakfasts, from boutique to budget, countryside to city centre. Follow Fiona on Twitter: @HotelGuruGuru.
It's a while since I've reviewed a proper country house hotel; the sort of place where ladies lunch and men order port, and weddings and anniversaries are the stock-in-trade. I might as well admit it: I've been avoiding them. For a weekend away, places that are cosy and rural, or grand and historic, are what tick my boxes. The likes of Brockencote Hall are neither one thing nor the other (which is not to disparage its lovely lakeside setting) so are harder to love.
Talking of ticking boxes, I could have done without the "concierge form" that was sent before my arrival. They mean well, but form-filling simply drains all the excitement: "Which of the following may we place in your room?"
I ticked feather pillows.
"Is there anything else we can provide? Seasonal fruit plate £10?'
No thanks.
"What is your preferred newspaper?"
The Telegraph.
Martini. Actually I have no idea what my preferred cocktail is, but I put Martini just to get the thing done.
A young Frenchman, umbrella in hand, was waiting on the steps as my sister and I arrived to help us with our luggage and we were whisked to our room. No one, including me, could have much of an argument with the gracious "Feature Room" No 4. It had a fine view of the park, a fireplace and elegant mantelpiece, and a Chinese flourish with its bird-of-paradise curtains, paintings and pale green brocade pattern wallpaper.
It was extremely comfortable and well kitted, with a spacious new bathroom. The Telegraph was waiting for us beside the plush sofa, but what a shame the vase of tulips turned out to be fake. For £300 a night, wouldn't you expect fresh?
We washed and rested and read and chatted, and then, feeling we should "join in", went downstairs.
We didn't last long there. After a £2 million refurbishment by Eden Hotels, owned by Sir Peter Rigby, Brockencote Hall has plainly never been in better nick. But thanks to the bland, carefully tasteful, one-size-fits-all art of the hotel interior design industry, the much altered Victorian pile has probably never looked more characterless either. We tried settling in the hall, the sitting room, the conservatory, but we just couldn't get comfortable so retreated to our room until dinner. After drinks in the conservatory bar, with canapés, we were ushered into the dining room.
Well, that's better. Sir Peter has put food at the heart of the new Brockencote Hall and the cooking of the head chef, Adam Brown, is exceptionally accomplished, surely worthy of a Michelin star.
Next morning, the place sparkled in the sunshine, still looking predictable, but also radiant. Service at breakfast was awry, a disappointment after dinner. We took our leave. Not a sign of a feather pillow nor a Martini, by the way.
Who goes?
Anyone who likes to fill in a 'concierge form' before they arrive, asking such questions as 'What is your preferred newspaper?' 'Drink?' 'Cocktail?' 'Would you like a seasonal fruit plate in your room (£10)?' Brockencote Hall is increasingly popular for diners, and celebrations, attracting a much younger crowd than under previous ownership.
The much altered house stands by a lovely lake, and overlooks its own parkland in a corner of England that is often overlooked, yet boasts attractive countryside and pretty villages (such as the one closest to Brockencote Hall, Chaddesley Corbett) and is within easy reach of the Malvern Hills, Welsh Borders, Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon.
A hotel since the 1980s, Brockencote Hall required complete modernization and redecoration when Eden Hotels bought it in 2011. While it is now very smart, and indeed sparkles in the morning sunshine, it looks like so many other hotels, with 'one-size-suits-all', generic decoration that lacks personality. The 'feature' bedrooms, however, have period details and beautiful fabrics – and fine views over the lake and park.
As so often, an excellent managerial staff (both manager and deputy manager) are backed by an ever-changing team of waiters and porters from myriad countries; some speaking little English. Service at dinner was excellent; breakfast seemed short staffed. Kind, efficient receptionists.
The standard rooms, in the converted old stables, are comfortable and very well equipped, but like the main hotel, predictable and lacking in personality. We enjoyed our Feature Room, No 4, with lovely views over the park, and excellent bathroom.
Food and drink
While breakfast was a disappointment, dinner in the attractive, centrally placed Chaddesley Restaurant was extremely well executed, and included a proper, well-explained cheese trolley.
Value for money
You have to like hotels that - to me - lack individuality and personality to feel that your money has been truly well spent. Doubles from £120 per night, singles £95.
Access for guests with disabilities
Specially adapted rooms.

Last weekend's North London derby was enjoyable, and not merely because it saw Arsenal's second consecutive home victory over Spurs. It was that, for a welcome period, my Twitter and Facebook pages were filled with something other than talk of Israel and Gaza.
Despite the propagandists' best efforts, the BBC has been impressively balanced this week.
As missiles flew this week out of Gaza, one British-Israeli soldier received treatment to repair his eyesight, damaged in a Hamas strike on his jeep.
In each of the recent conflicts Israel has experienced — the two Lebanon wars, the Gaza War and in incidents such as boarding of the Mavi Marmara, media bias has deeply frustrated the Jewish state's supporters.
The mobilisation of Israeli forces around Gaza this week was strikingly reminiscent of the British and American build-up of troops along the Kuwait and Iraq borders before Operation Desert Storm, the massive armoured counter-attack that hurled Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991.
Israel breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday as a military operation which could have gone one of two ways avoided a ground war.
As the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire came into effect, tens of thousands of Israeli ground troops, many of them reservists who had been summoned days earlier from their homes, were stood down.
An Israeli soldier has died after being hit by a rocket from Gaza only hours before a ceasefire deal was announced.
Lieutenant Boris Yarmulnik was 28 and came from Netanya. He was injured after the rocket, sent by terrorists operating in the Gaza Strip , landed in the Eshkol region, and today died from his injuries in hospital.
Protests have taken place on university campuses across Britain in response to the violent conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
At the School of Oriental and African Studies in central London, the students' union AGM voted in support of a motion pledging solidarity with the people of Gaza.
The Press Complaints Commission has received 29 objections to a Guardian cartoon that portrayed Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu as a puppet-master, controlling tiny versions of Foreign Secretary William Hague and Tony Blair.
Cartoonist Steve Bell drew the picture after Mr Hague said Hamas bore "principal responsibility" for the Gaza fighting.
MP George Galloway has branded Zionism "a blasphemy against Judaism and against God", praised the legitimacy of Hamas and publicly called for the dismantling of Israel.

I wanted to like these!
"When I spotted these in the store, I thought they were so cute. I tried them on and they felt nice so I bought them! I wore them to work today and there went my enthusiasm! The back of the shoe slipped & rubbed up against my heels all day during walking. While they are super cute, nothing is worth the possibility of red, raw skin on your heels! I purchased them in a size 7, but they seem to run slightly longer.Taking these back tomorrow. Alas, dear shoe, once you were mine and now no more!"

|Hydration of arsenic oxyacid species.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23135316 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The bond distances in hydrated arsenic oxyacid species in aqueous solution have been studied by EXAFS spectroscopy and large angle X-ray scattering, LAXS. These results have been compared to structures in the solid state, as found in an extensive survey of available crystal structures. Protonated oxygen atoms can be distinguished with a longer As-O distance for both arsenic(v) and arsenic(iii) species in the crystalline state. However, the average As-O distance for the H(n)AsO(4)((3-n)-) species (0 ≤ n ≤ 3) remains the same. These average values are slightly shorter, ca. 0.02 Å, than in aqueous solution due to the hydration as determined by EXAFS and LAXS. The K absorption edges for arsenic(v) and arsenic(iii) species are separated by 4.0 eV, and the shape of the absorption edges differs as well. Small but significant differences in the absorption edge features are seen between the neutral acids and the charged oxyacid species. The most important arsenic species from an environmental point of view is arsenous acid, As(OH)(3). In addition to arsenous acid, we have used orthotelluric acid, Te(OH)(6), for comparison with arsenous acid and for detailed studies of the hydration of covalently bound hydroxo groups. Arsenous acid cannot be studied with the same accuracy as orthotelluric acid, due to a relatively low solubility of As(2)O(3)(s) in neutral to acidic aqueous solution. The results from the DDIR studies support the assignment of As(OH)(3) as a weak structure maker analogous to Te(OH)(6), both being neutral weak oxyacids.

Starbucks adds global business title to CFO role
The Seattle-based coffee company said the promotion recognizes the increasing responsibility and complexity of Alstead's role overseeing the company's global financial, technology and supply chain operations.
CEO Howard Schultz said in a statement that Alstead has been instrumental in the company's growth and that his role will prove critical to ensuring its continued success.
Alstead joined Starbucks in January 1992 when it was a privately held company, and has held numerous roles in finance and general management of increasing responsibility. He was one of the original members of the company's international team.
Starbucks shares added 89 cents to $76.13 in late afternoon trading, in line with broader market gains.

Never miss another 'Absolution' show
Absolution formed in May 2010 and have been steadily writing, playing and growing as a band ever since. With three musicians from different backgrounds and different styles, Absolution create a fresh and exciting sound.
A British blues-rock power trio, they sound like a souped-up Cream, with elements of early ZZ Top and Joe Bonamassa thrown in for good measure.

I am not too sure what look Ranveer Singh was going for her but it ended up in a muddle. Perhaps Ranveer was trying to bring out his inner 'Danny' because his leather jacket, gelled hair and white t-shirt sure do remind me of 'Grease'! As for the red trainers – what on earth where you thinking!
Verdict – I know the awards are Fun and Fearless but Ranveer Singh took it too far and is Not Hot!

Lent Appeal: Thank you for your generosity
Thank you to everyone who gave to our Lent Appeal. Your generosity means that we are able to respond quickly when an emergency strikes, but also to stay and help rebuild homes, communities, livelihoods and lives. And as we received matched funding from the UK Government, your donations were doubled, so they can go twice as far!
After Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar, we were there, thanks to your donations. Watch our video and see how you helped Kyin Nu, who lost nearly everything in the storm.
Life after the storm
Rebuilding your life after a devastating storm can seem an impossible task. But it was what Kyin Nu and her husband had to do after a cyclone ripped through their community. They lost their business, the food they had worked so hard to produce and worst of all, two of their daughters were killed.
Cyclone Nargis was the strongest cyclone ever to hit Myanmar (formerly named Burma). Over 150,000 people died, and 2.4 million were affected. Half of Kyin Nu's village were killed. As with many storms, the poorest people suffered the most.
It has been a long, hard struggle for Kyin Nu, but your donations to CAFOD have made a real difference to the community. By planting trees, providing animals and paying people to rebuild roads and protective embankments, we have helped Kyin Nu and the rest of her community get back on their feet.
Donations to our Lent Appeal by individuals, between Ash Wednesday, 18 February, and Sunday 17 May 2015, were matched by the UK government. If you set up a direct debit in this time, your first three months will be matched.

Mysticism and Missing the Point
A reader named William Law (I wonder if he's related to the author of A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life?) has not been shy about attacking the basic premise of this blog. Here are a few quotes from recent comments of his (all made to one recent post): The discussion of mysticism and writing about mysticism as an "object" is specious and misses the point.How words just multiply like rabbits. There comes a point where explaining is too much like a hamster on his wheel. There is real pow … [Read more...]
Quote for the Day
Bede Griffiths, one of the great contemplative masters of our time, claimed that there are actually three routes to the center. You can have a near-death experience. You can fall desperately in love. Or you can begin a practice of meditation. Of the three, he said with a somewhat mischievous smile, meditation is probably the most reliable starting point. — Cynthia Bourgeault, Mystical Hope: Trusting in the Mercy of God … [Read more...]

Circum Nebula...
Stargate - Empire at War: Pegasus Chronicles is a total conversion for the fantastic game Star Wars - Empire at War: Forces of corruption. This total conversion will replace every single Star Wars asset of the original game with Stargate assets. This includes units, buildings, icons, sounds, videos and so much more. Pegasus Chronicles offers 3 playable races, the Ta'uri (alliance between Earth and the Asgard), Anubis (a mighty systemlord) and the Wraith. Beside these 3 playable races, you will meet many non-playable ones like the Replicators, the Asurans, the systemlord alliance, the Aschen, the Ori and many more. Each faction will have several space and land units, well known from the series or completely new ones. Contrary to our first full version for the normal Empire at War, the next release will offer finished GC maps, in which you can play through the known Stargate storylines and experience a lot of never seen missions and adventures.
Hello Community! Once more we need your help! At the moment we are creating a new video for you which will reveal some of the new space maps of Pegasus Chronicles. Sadly we have a little problem... A pretty new map is without a fitting name!
Posted by Klon116 on Jun 14th, 2012
Hello Community!
Once more we need your help!
At the moment we are creating a new video for you which will reveal some of the new space maps of Pegasus Chronicles.
Sadly we have a little problem... A pretty new map is without a fitting name!
With this, you can help us out!
Here are three screenshots of the map and a map Overview:
The big points within the overview should present the space station of each team, the small ones mines and the blue thing in the middle is a supergate.
For the next three days we will collect your ideas for a name of this map.
We will use the best entry for the map and within the new video.
Circum Nebula...
Eye of the Ori? Gateway Nebula?
"Oculus Ori" in latin, good idea :)
Eye of the Ori sounds nice.
Enemy at the gate? :P
The Tol Ascendant system
The Battlesites of Hal
Massacre at bonsai
War above Tollana
New Orilla Siege (planet found by Tauri in asgards galaxy)
Apollo Lost
War in space
The last push
The first assault
The gateway
The supergate seems to be pulling the nebula in on itself from the map overview and you make a supergate with a black hole, so it's double pun!
Eye of the Gods...
The Tol Ascendant system
The Battlesites of Hal
Massacre at bonsai
War above Tollana
New Orilla Siege (planet found by Tauri in asgards galaxy)
WTF that..but..uhh
short and sweet
Hidden intent
the misty gate
How about sometihng simple like
The Silence
Eye of the storm.
Eye of Eternity
The Phantom Menace of Ori
Eye of Death
Death of Ori
Siege of Ori
Last Crusade of Ori
Honestly "The Last Crusade" could work since I'm pretty sure the Tau'ri are the last of the Ori's enemies and its a crusade against them.
Either that or "Singularity" as said above.
It can only have one name..
whos give me loads of bad karma?
short and cool
the Vortex
Circle of Power.
simple, but yet very accurate description.
the outer star
Cunis Vitae "Cradle of Life"
German Name :
Galaktischer Ring
Gate im Nebel
Regenbogen Sturm
Kampf ums Supergate
Tor zum Sieg
Licht im Nebel
Geheimnis der Ori
It's already got a German name.
But we will change both names so they mean the same.
Its got to be chronicle, this is pegasus chronicles
Trinity Gate
well looking by the map i would call it serenity
well it looks atlot like the finall show down in the film
New Enemies, or in Latin, Musuh baru
Nebula of the Gods
Eye of the Beholder
The Ark.
Grandu Round
Battle at Valhalla
The simplest is usually best,i will agree with a GPZ0.The Trinity is good suggestion.
Ori Beachhead
Veni Vidi Vici
-1 Dark Eye
-2 Constellation
-3 Conspiration
-4 Spiral of violence
-5 Storm eye's , or Eye of the Storm
-6 Râ Fury , or Rage Of Râ
;) enjoy !
Thanks for your input, guys :)
The poll is over now and you will see the names that were chosen in the next video.
Whats about that: Under suspicion
In german i think its pretty good, too: Unter Verdacht

I've had a few people ask me about the key differences between the CMMI template shipped in TFS 2008 and how it compares to the new MSF CMMI 5.0 process template that shipped with TFS 2010 so I thought I'd detail some of the big differences. First off, it's important to note that the changes in our Agile template were much more significant than the changes made to the CMMI template. The Agile template was largely overhauled to focus on core Agile principles and underwent some pretty significant changes with regards to work items and the overall process model. To read more about those changes see my post How does MSF Agile 4.2 compare to MSF Agile 5.0?
Back to CMMI… If you're new to the CMMI template or new to CMMI altogether I'd strongly recommend reading Background to CMMI written by David Anderson who partnered with us on pieces of our process guidance. It gives a great introduction to what CMMI is, it's purpose, and how it can be used. So, what's changed?
Work Item Types
The work item types in MSF CMMI 5.0 are largely the same from MSF CMMI 4.2. There are two new work items types, Test Case and Shared Steps, which are related to the new testing features in VS 2010. See Creating and Managing Tests for more information on how to use these new work item types. But overall the fields and state transitions remain largely intact from MSF CMMI 4.2. We did do significant work on the layout of the forms to improve usability across all the work item types.
One small but important change is the elimination of the rule that cleared the Assigned To value when a work item was closed. In MSF CMMI 4.2 as a work item moved to the Closed state the Assigned To value was cleared. After listening to feedback that this rule made tracking who owned work after it was closed we made the decision to remove this rule on ALL work items.
Link Types
The first significant change is the inclusion of link types between work items. With the inclusion of link types in TFS 2010 the process model for the CMMI template has been updated to include a parent/child relationship between Requirements and Tasks, a tests/tested by link between Requirements and Test Cases, and an affects/affected by link between Change Requests and Requirements. These new link types make traceability easier and allow for rich querying and reporting.
Parent/child relationships also significantly improve the experiences of developing and organizing requirements into something the team can use. See Developing Requirements and Arranging Requirements into a Product Plan from the CMMI process guidance for more information.
All of the queries from MSF CMMI 4.2 have been carried forward to MSF CMMI 5.0 and new queries have been introduced to take advantage of link types and improvements in the overall process model. Those new queries include:
And of course, the queries have been arranged into query folders for easy management and organization. The four query folders are: Change Management, Development and Testing, Planning and Tracking, and Troubleshooting. For more information on the MSF CMMI 5.0 team queries see the queries topic from the CMMI process guidance.
The reports in MSF CMMI 5.0 have been updated to provide a better experience from a usability perspective as well as project management perspective. The list of reports includes:
SharePoint Dashboards
And finally, the MSF CMMI 5.0 template includes a rich set of SharePoint dashboards that allow you to interact with work items directly from the dashboard as well easily create an publish reports directly to the dashboard. There are two versions of the dashboards – one built for the WSS and one built for MOSS. The MOSS dashboards are more advanced and heavily leverage Excel Services for custom reporting. Those dashboards include:
As always, let me know if you have any specific questions about the new template or how it differs from MSF CMMI 4.2. I've referenced quite a few topics above but I'd highly recommend you read through the entire set of process guidance here as it gives a great overview as well as specific guidance on how the template can be used.
Also all of the new fields on the Bug WIT for all of the new MTM features. Especially the switch from Microsoft.VSTS.CMMI.StepsToReproduce to Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps.
The new MSF for CMMI v5.0 process guidance does not mention tracks, workstreams or activities anymore. It does not contain the governance part it had before, nor the team model. Why is this? Are this not part of MSF for CMMI anymore?
With v5.0 we took a different approach with the guidance after listening to feeback from customers. As you stated, the 4.x guidance emphasized work streams, tracks, activities and it is still very relevant when it comes to applying MSF. With v5.0 we chose to focus on best practices and a more practical approach to managing projects that requires less familiarity with the concepts included in MSF.
The 4.x guidance can be found online for download at www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx.
Just to clarify MSF CMMI 5.0 works with all the new features of MTM correct? Our internal architect team who manages our TFS servers is telling us we have to move from CMMI to Agile 5.0 in order to utilize MTM.
That's right Amy. MSF CMMI 5.0 works with all the features of MTM.
I really like your blog and appreciate the given information, we also provide CMMI Services like CMMI Assessment and CMMI Training services for different CMMI models in USA, UK, India.
You can inform us for the further posts about this topic and visit our official website http://www.delqserv.com for more information about CMMI Services and certification.

To restate where part 1 ended - We have our Windows App, MyCalc, which currently has no ViewModel and instead has all the logic in the View layer. Which means it can't be reused for different views, such as one for phone. Our goal is to move that logic into a shared ViewModel and add a Phone view.
Adding a ViewModel
The first step is to add an empty ViewModel class. So in the shared code project we create a new class called StackCalculatorViewModel.
One thing just about every ViewModel needs is a way to communicate data changes to the View layer. In XAML there is already a standard way to do this that works with data binding (more about that later). That way is the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. It allows us to raise an event with the name of the property that has changed. So lets implement that interface, and a helper method to raise the event.
privatevoid RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
var eh = this.PropertyChanged;
if(eh != null)
eh(this, newPropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
publiceventPropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
The next thing our ViewModel needs is a reference to the Model, which is our StackCalculator class. So we add a private field of type StackCalculator and in the constructor initialize it to a new instance of that class.
Lastly we need to give the View access to our ViewModel. So in our MainPage class we add a private field of type StackCalculatorViewModel. In the constructor we assign it to a new instance of that class.
And here is the "tricky" part – we set the MainPage.DataContext to point to the ViewModel. The DataContent property is inherited by all the child controls, so now all the controls can access the ViewModel. Not only that but DataContext is the default data binding source, which will come in handy later.
publicsealedpartialclassMainPage : Page
StackCalculatorViewModel _viewModel;
public MainPage()
_viewModel = newStackCalculatorViewModel();
_viewModel.PropertyChanged += _viewModel_PropertyChanged;
var collectionChanged = (INotifyCollectionChanged)_viewModel.Calculator.Stack;
collectionChanged.CollectionChanged += collectionChanged_CollectionChanged;
this.DataContext = _viewModel;
// initial to defaults
DecimalSelection.IsChecked = true;
You'll likely notice we removed the StackCalculator field from MainPage, and instead reference the StackCalculator object held in the ViewModel. This is temporary code that will go away once the ViewModel is fully fleshed out.
Moving Logic to the ViewModel
Now we have an empty view model and we need to pick some logic to move into it. Buttons tend to be pretty easy to support in a ViewModel, so we'll start with those.
To bite off a reasonable chunk of work we are going to limit this to the buttons 0-9, add, subtract, multiply, divide and drop.
Buttons are easy to support with a ViewModel because they support having a command – meaning we can provide an instance of ICommand which allows us to execute code when the button is clicked. It also allows us to enable/disable the button when conditions change.
ICommand and DelegateCommand
ICommand, as an interface, is perfect for our use in the ViewModel. However there isn't an implementation of that interface that is ViewModel friendly. So we need to code our own implementation. The most common implementation is along the lines of what I call DelegateCommand. Simply put when one constructs a DelegateCommand one provides delegates to the implementations you want of Execute and CanExecute. Thus the implementation is a simple Adapter to the required interface. Add a method to raise the CanExecuteChanged event when needed and you are done.
My particular implementation has 2 constructors:
· One that takes an ExecuteHandler
· Another that takes an ExecuteHandler and CanExecuteHandler
The version that just takes an ExecuteHandler supplies an implementation of CanExecute which always returns true. This is makes it just a little easier for supporting buttons that are always enabled.
delegatevoidExecuteHandler(object parameter);
delegateboolCanExecuteHandler(object parameter);
classDelegateCommand : ICommand
privateExecuteHandler _executeHandler;
privateCanExecuteHandler _canExecuteHandler;
public DelegateCommand(ExecuteHandler executeHandler):
this(executeHandler, CanAlwaysExecute)
// nothing
public DelegateCommand(ExecuteHandler executeHandler, CanExecuteHandler canExecuteHandler)
_executeHandler = executeHandler;
_canExecuteHandler = canExecuteHandler;
publicvoid RaiseCanExecuteChanged()
var eh = this.CanExecuteChanged;
eh(this, EventArgs.Empty);
publicbool CanExecute(object parameter)
return _canExecuteHandler(parameter);
publiceventEventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
publicvoid Execute(object parameter)
privatestaticbool CanAlwaysExecute(object parameter)
Using DelegateCommand in our ViewModel
Ok, now that we have an implementation of ICommand we can use, lets wire it up in our ViewModel.
First we add private methods for Execute/CanExecute that we need for the commands we will expose. As an example here is are the implementation for the add command:
privatevoid OnAddExecuted(object parameter)
privatebool OnAddCanExecute(object parameter)
return _calc.CanAdd();
We also expose the command as a property so the Button can bind to it, like this:
publicICommand AddCommand
return _addCommand;
And in the constructor we create the DelegateCommand instance providing the right methods, like this:
public StackCalculatorViewModel()
_enterText = String.Empty;
_calc = newStackCalculator();
var collectionChanged = (INotifyCollectionChanged)_calc.Stack;
collectionChanged.CollectionChanged += OnStackChanged;
_addCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnAddExecuted, OnAddCanExecute);
_subtractCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnSubtractExecuted, OnSubtractCanExecute);
_divideCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnDivideExecuted, OnDivideCanExecute);
_multiplyCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnMultiplyExecuted, OnMultiplyCanExecute);
_popCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnPopExecuted, OnPopCanExecute);
_addDigitCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnAddDigitExecuted, OnAddDigitCanExecute);
_backspaceCommand = newDelegateCommand(OnBackspaceExecuted, OnBackspaceCanExecute);
Just one last thing and the AddButton can be complete – that is raising the OnCanExecuteChanged appropriately. Our Model doesn't expose an event directly for this, but does let us know when the stack contents have changed. Since we know that impacts the value returned from CanAdd, we subscribe to that event and in the handler raise OnCanExecuteChanged for the appropriate commands, like this:
void OnStackChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
Then we need to update the XAML to bind to the command, which is straightforward and works like this:
Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}"
Command="{Binding AddCommand}"
The event handler for Clicked event was removed, and we bind to the AddCommand from the View Model. You'll also notice that I added a _ in front of the name of the control. I did this to ensure I caught all references to the control in the View, since the name change will cause a compiler break.
In the view code we remove the event handler and all references to the button – ensuring as we got that we captured all the right functionality in the ViewModel for that button.
As you look at the code you'll notice that Add, Subtract, Divide, Multiply and Pop commands are all very similar. But AddDigitCommand is a bit different.
Now for buttons 0-9 we could create 10 commands – one per button. That would work, but would be a bit monotonous to code, as well as just require a bunch of code (although it would be simple code).
Instead we can take advantage of the parameter which ICommand's Execute & CanExecute methods. That means we can have a single ICommand which supports all 10 buttons (0-9) and eventually will even support A-F (we'll first need to move the Hex/Decimal support into the ViewModel, which will happen in a future article).
The implementation of that command looks like this:
privatevoid OnAddDigitExecuted(object parameter)
var stringParameter = (string)parameter;
var newText = this.EnterText + stringParameter;
this.EnterText = newText;
privatebool OnAddDigitCanExecute(object parameter)
As you can see the parameter is the character to add to the EnterText. Right now CanExecute just verifies it is an expected value between 0 and 9. This method will get more interesting when Hex support is added.
You'll also notice that I've added another property, EnterText, which contains the string the user is composing to add a number to the stack. This is required because the AddDigitCommand needs to modify it.
publicstring EnterText
return _enterText;
if (_enterText != value)
_enterText = value;
The property is pretty simple. You'll notice the setter raises the PropertyChanged event and also tells the backspace command to re-evaluate if it can execute – this is because the BackspaceCommand being able to execute depends on the length of EnterText.
Because this is just one step in a multi-step refactoring we do need some temporary code to keep everything working. Because we can't fully move dealing with that text to the view model until the Hex support is done. So you'll notice in the View there is now code which updates EnterText on the ViewModel when the TextBox's text is changed. There is also code that does the reverse and updates the TextBox when EnterText changes.
Just like the other commands we need to update the XAML and remove code from the View. The only real difference is we also set the CommandParameter property to define what should be passed into the Command's methods.
Command="{Binding AddDigitCommand}"
Wrapping It Up
Lets review what we've done:
· Created a ViewModel and made it available to the XAML markup
· Created DelegateCommand to expose ICommand objects from the ViewModel
· Exposed commands from the ViewModel for most of the buttons
· Migrated the XAML to use the commands
· Removed code from the View
· Added some temporary code in the View for EnterText to keep things working until the next step.
Hopefully you can see that the net effect is logic that was previous in the View and coupled with the XAML markup is now in the reusable ViewModel and is completely decoupled from the markup.
One thing that might have escaped notice is that there are a variety of controls which accept an ICommand, beyond the simple button. For example the HyperlinkButton takes an ICommand, so we could change the markup to use hyperlinks instead of traditional buttons. Which gives us a glimpse of the flexibility a good ViewModel can give us when it comes to defining different markup over the same logic.

text: I enjoyed the letter from Dale Smith: "Crisis caused by intellectuals" (Reader Input, Oct. 19) in which we learn that Edward R. Morrow and John Dewey were responsible for importing Marxist and Leninist doctrine into American education and media. What a hoot! It was a nice touch to run that letter on the same page with Kathleen Parker's column, "Let the little dogs yap, Mr. President" wherein she advises Obama to "trust that the people who put you in office can tell the clowns from the ringleaders" – this from a nationally syndicated right-of-center columnist. It's good to see that your editorial staff still has a keen sense of irony, not to mention humor. Ralph Petri, Auburn

We've got an advertisement in the Kyiv metro of a woman coming out of a bubblebath with a teacup. What she's doing in the bath with full makeup and a three-strand pearl choker on, I don't know. (I haven't tried the tea, either - its bagged in Moscow, not Sri Lanka, so who needs it?) And there are whole calendars full of women with guns. Even if he ripped the idea from you, he might well be immersed in the genre enough to point to half a dozen other examples.
When it comes to shooting people and firearms, it seems to be a matter of execution.

They sang and danced and enjoyed their existence, but soon some of them grew tired of the merriness and began to spread dark and foul thoughts amongst the divines. And so the gods and goddesses listened. Some of them were terrified, but some agreed with those who spread the darkness, and when Alyr heard of this, he felt a great anger swell within him for he did not wish for the Vanya Ilfirin, the song of eternity, to end. But Alyr was merciful, and so he let the agitators to stay, hoping that they would regain their senses. Alas, even the mightiest was not safe from himself.Aronsithielna (wip) by vilkeri99
When the Mhaimeo Ashadon, the Heavenly Host, lead by Ishtar and Harvanaye, attacked the agitators of evil, Alyr lost his mind. He began to sing the Forbidden Song
The Chronicles of Alyr 1.
The city of Moonlight, The o elai'ca Ishtar
She watched the human walk away. Despite her words, she had not yet fully forgiven the Queen. Her mother. That made her the princess. Izeress Sylvana. Princess Sylvana. She sighed and looked at her mother."You won't send me away again, will you?" she asked, slightly bitter. The Queen sighed. "Dark times are ahead of us, my daughter. I may have no choice." she said. "How wonderful..." Sylvana answered, clearly sarcastic. "Don't say it will be with the Alatori." "It will most likely be, for their lands are at the centre of this conflict." Sylvana sighed and walked away.
The Moon. It shined right through the window on the wall. A white, marble wall covered in all kinds of colorful fabrics. She opened her eyes. Lazily. She was not in a hurry. Not at all. Lazily she sat up and looked around. Suddenly an elven woman appeared. She was beautiful as all elves were, though her beauty could not be compared to Sylvana's. Nevertheless, she hurried to Sylvana, made a quick curtsey and said: Good morning princess! Should I bring you your clothes?" Sylvana smiled at her servant. "That would be nice" Her servant nodded and hurried off. Sylvana stood up and walked to a door. She opened it and walked out, to a small balcony. The view was magnificent. A sea of ancient trees. Tall, glittering white towers that were tall and slender rose from it. To her right, she could see the World Tree, Alyrsil, and the temple of Ishtar, the largest and most awe-inspiring of them all. To her left, the forest was dotted with towers until one could no longer see them, even elves. So large was the city of Doriathe, that it could have been a nation on it's own.
Sylvana stood there, wearing only her nightgown, which was made of thin, white silk. So thin, in-fact, that one could see through it in some places. A light breeze caressed her gently. She closed her eyes and breathed the fresh, untainted night air of Doriathe. Her servant returned, carrying some green clothes. Sylvana walked back in, thanked, took the clothes and started dressing. But first she had to take off her nightgown. She took it off, revealing her flat and fit stomach and nice round breasts that weren't as big as you think they were. Nevertheless they fit perfectly to the rest of her body. Not too big, nor too small. The perfect size. Her creamy skin glistened in the moonlight. Many would have killed to see it. Only few, however, had ever seen it. And even fewer had touched it...
Sylvana took her dress. It had an open, laced back and a bold cut on the right side. The Atari elves had a tendency to wear revealing garments you see. Both male and female elves. Then, she walked to her rather large mirror and admired herself for sometime before grinning childishly and walking to her personal balcony again. A slight breeze caressed her face as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, held it for a while and then let it out. She eyed Doriathe. Everything seemed normal: the defense crystals were floating as usual, ships sailed in and out of the harbor, someone was singing. It was a beautiful, yet maybe a bit childish song about a hawk that wanted to learn to talk. Sylvana's lips curled into a slight smile. She was happy. Maybe it won't last, but at that moment she was happy.
"Wake up!"
"Wake up, you worthless human"
He opened his eyes.
"The others are there already. Put some clothes on."
It was a male elf, the same that had escorted Arthus to his quarters. His name was Anar-something. Damn elven names. Slowly, he got up and looked around. He was in a small room. There was a graceful small table next to his bed. Suddenly, the male elf threw some clothes on him. "I will wait outside" he said. Arthus grunted. He looked at the clothes. Elven clothes. Arthus sighed as he took off his shirt and pants, revealing his muscular and slightly hairy body. The fabric of the clothes felt wonderful against his fingers as he put on the pants. Then he took the shirt, slid it on and buttoned it. Finally the young human prince buckled his belt and pulled his boots on. He walked to a mirror and examined himself. The shirt was green and his pants brown. He looked quite handsome. For a human that is. Arthus noticed his chin was covered in stubble. He had no time to shave, though. That elf was getting anxious.
So, he stepped through the door and was greeted by a fresh gust of wind that carried the smell of roses. Two soldiers stood, waiting for him with that bony Anar-whatever his name was. The elf turned around quickly and the soldiers took up position around Arthus. They pulled Arthus with them as they walked towards the Royal Palace. Arthus remembered that a feat was to be kept today, err, tonight.
Once they had arrived at the gate and it was opened, a most unlikely of sights greeted the young human. A dwarf, a naga, two elven figures that were not like those of Doriathe. One had green skin and shorter ears and the other was tanned, had golden hair and ridiculously long ears that pointed backwards. All of them were sitting on delicate chairs. Well, except the bulky dwarf. He was standing next to it. Arthus was guided to his place, next to the dwarf, who nodded at him in a friendly way. As he sat, a voice demanded for silence. Everyone stopped talking, turning their attention at the empty throne. A door opened, soundlessly, next to the throne...
