AUSTIN, Texas — The warm-weather months are the perfect time to try something new with fish and seafood.
Maybe its a new technique such as poaching in a foil packet on the grill or making homemade ceviche or maybe its asking a fish monger for a variety youve never tried.
Carol Huntsberger, who has owned Quality Seafood Market on Austins Airport Boulevard for more than a decade, says her favorite summertime fish is grilled halibut, but shes just as likely to skewer swordfish or scallops.
Remember, when it comes to seafood, its always good to pay extra attention to the place of origin and harvesting methods, for both health and environmental reasons. Seafoodwatch.org keeps a detailed list of species that the Monterey Bay Aquarium recommends and does not recommend eating.
Huntsberger offered nine tips for making better fish this summer.
1 Dont fear the grill basket. Grilling large fish on a plank can make for a nice presentation, but if youre only cooking for a few people, a smaller grill basket might be a better approach. Certain kinds of fish, such as the super-flaky halibut, need a little extra support so they dont break apart when handled. The baskets come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and if you grill more than once a month, you wont just use it for fish.
2 Get the good salmon. Wild salmon run in the summer, and they taste infinitely better than the light-pink farmed fillets.
3 Keep the skin on. If you are working on a grill, the fish skin can help hold the fillet together, much like a plank or basket. Start cooking the fish skin-side-down over direct heat, with the thickest part of the fish over the hottest part of the grill. Flip the fish at the end to get grill marks on the other side. If youre sauteeing, poaching or baking, it doesnt make as much sense to keep the skin on, unless you prefer, Huntsberger says, and if you do want the skin removed, your fishmonger should be happy to do it for you.
4 When in doubt, saute. No one wants to mess up a $22-per-pound fillet of fish, so if youre unsure how it would fare on the grill or flash-seared in a pan, gently saute it in butter or a little olive oil. Sauteeing is a great get-to-know-you technique for fish youve never prepared before. You can learn a little bit about fish, and you cant overcook it because youre sauteing it in olive oil or butter, which will keep it moist, Huntsberger says.
5 30-minute marinade. Fish dont need more than half an hour in a marinade, if youre using one at all. Huntsberger will use something as simple as Italian dressing, letting the fish soak up some of the flavors in the fridge for a short time before cooking.
6 Let freshness be your guide. Even if you walk into the store with a plan for what youd like to cook, talk to the fishmonger about whats freshest off the boat, especially if youre making something delicate like ceviche.
7 Steak, without the beef. You wont fool anyone into thinking that a seared, dense fish, such as swordfish, tuna and blue marlin, is a rib-eye, but steak-like fish brushed or served with a light sauce like salmoriglio is ideal for summertime grilling.
8 Freshwater, for less. With shrimp prices so high due to increased demand and decreased imports, shoppers are looking for another affordable way to put seafood on the table. Freshwater fish, such as trout, catfish or tilapia, tend to be less expensive than some of the previously mentioned fish, and you might even be catching some yourself this summer. Huntsberger recommends sauteeing or grilling these kinds of fish after marinating or rubbing them with a spice mixture, such as lemon pepper or Cajun seasoning.
9 Know when its time to splurge. Theres nothing like digging into a mess of crab legs or lobster tails, which really shine when prepared on a grill. These crustaceans are almost always already cooked when sold at market, so youre just reheating them at home. Serve with ample melted butter on the side and extra napkins for your hands. Whats summer if you cant get a little messy while youre eating?
Sea Bass Ceviche
Sea bass or any firm-textured white fish would work; keep it refrigerated until just before using. Don't wait until you get to the end of the recipe to realize that you need a baked (and cooled) sweet potato. Amarillo chile paste (aji amarillo) can be found at Latin grocery stores, such as El Mandando Supermarket on Capital Boulevard in Raleigh. If you cannot find an limo chile, use a habanero instead. And finally, don't skimp on the salt; high quality fine sea salt will give you the best results. From "Ceviche: Peruvian Kitchen: Authentic Recipes for Lomo Saltado, Anticuchos, Tiraditos, Alfajores, and Pisco Cocktails," by Martin Morales (Ten Speed Press, 2014).
1/4-inch piece of fresh ginger, cut in half
1 small clove garlic, cut in half
4 roughly chopped cilantro sprigs, divided
Juice of 8 limes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons amarillo chile paste
1 large red onion, very thinly sliced
1 1/3 pounds sea bass fillet (or other white fish), skinned and trimmed
Fine sea salt
A few cilantro sprigs, leaves finely chopped
1 limo chile, seeded and finely chopped (or try an habanero)
1 sweet potato, cooked and cut into small cubes
PUT ginger, garlic, cilantro and lime juice in a bowl. Stir and then leave to infuse for 5 minutes. Strain mixture through a sieve into another bowl. Add salt and amarillo chile paste and mix well. This will keep for 4 hours in the fridge.
RINSE onion and then leave it to soak in iced water for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly, spread out on a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess water and then place in the fridge until needed. This will reduce the onion's strength and help keep the slices crisp.
CUT fish into uniform strips of about 1 1/4-by-3/4-inch. Place in a large bowl, add a good pinch of salt and mix together gently with a metal spoon. The salt will help open the fish's pores. Leave this for 2 minutes and then pour over the sauce and combine gently with the spoon. Leave fish to "cook" in this marinade for 2 minutes.
ADD onion, cilantro, chile and sweet potato to the fish. Mix together gently with the spoon and taste to check that the balance of salt, sour and chile is to your liking. Divide among serving bowls and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings.
Pesce Spada in Salmoriglio (Swordfish with Salmoriglio Sauce)
Swordfish has long been caught off the coasts of Sicily, where it is often served with this herb garlic sauce. Its firm, meaty texture makes it perfect for grilling and broiling, but you also can use tuna steak or salmon. From "Mediterranean Cookbook," by Marie-Pierre Moine, Elisabeth Luard and Ghillie Basan (DK, 2014).
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 to 2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon chile pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoon olive oil
2 swordfish steaks, at least 1-inch thick, about 1 1/2 pounds total weight
1 tablespoon chopped herbs, such as parsley, oregano or mint, to finish
MAKE sauce: Place lemon zest and juice, parsley, garlic, oregano and chile pepper in a bowl, mix well, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in oil and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
BRUSH the steaks with half the sauce and let marinate for 5 minutes.
PREHEAT broiler to high, or preheat a griddle pan. Broil or grill the steaks for 3-4 minutes only on each side, or until just cooked through but still moist in the center, as swordfish tends to get dry quickly.
CUT each steak in half and spoon over the remaining sauce. Season with a little extra pepper, scatter with the snipped herbs, and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings.
Pistachio-Crusted Sea Bass with Tomato Curry Broth
Adapted from "Tupelo Honey Cafe: New Southern Flavors from the Blue Ridge Mountains," by Elizabeth Sims with Chef Brian Sonoskus (Andrews McMeel, 2014).
3/4 cup roasted, salted, shelled pistachios
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon no-salt Creole seasoning
3/4 to 1 teaspoon curry powder
4 (6-oz.) sea bass fillets, skin removed
1 egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
MAKE crust: combine pistachios, panko bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse for 5 pulses, or until blended. Continue to process for an additional 8 seconds, or until finely ground. Reserve.
COMBINE tomato juice, vegetable broth, coconut milk, Creole seasoning and curry powder. Stir well and set aside.
PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees. Place sea bass fillets on a plate. Sprinkle top sides with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water in a shallow dish. Place pistachio crust in a pie plate. Working with 1 fillet at a time, dip bottom side of the fish into the egg mixture and place on pistachio crust mixture, egg-wash side down. Set aside and heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add butter to the pan and let it melt. Lift fillets from the pistachio crust mixture and place them in the skillet, pistachio side down. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
CAREFULLY flip fillets with a spatula and place in the oven for 10 minutes. While fish is finishing, gently heat the curry broth in a small saucepan. Serve fish in a shallow serving bowl, ladling the warm tomato curry broth around the fish. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings.
Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia with Cucumber, Tomato and Fennel Relish
Reprinted with permission from " Gale Gand's Lunch!" By Gale Gand. (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014).
1 large egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tilapia fillets
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 seedless (English) cucumber, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 heirloom or vine-ripened tomato, seeded and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 medium bulb fennel, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 scallion, sliced
1 orange, peeled and sectioned
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch sugar
6 fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
CRACK egg into a wide, shallow bowl, then beat it with a fork with 1 teaspoon water. In another wide, shallow bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, and pepper.
DIP fish fillets, one at a time, into egg, coating both sides. Then place them one at a time into crumb mixture to coat, gently turning them to coat both sides and pressing down a bit to help the crumbs stick to fish. Place fish on a platter.
HEAT canola oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add fish and cook until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes, then carefully flip them and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
MAKE relish: In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomato, fennel, scallion, orange sections, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar and basil and toss to mix.
PLACE fish on plates and spoon relish over them. (The relish and the fish can be stored in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
Yield: 4 servings.

Tommy Mann Jr.
The Orange Leader
A local man has been indicted for the robbery of a local credit union this past summer.
Justin Samuel Mink was indicted by a federal grand jury this week and charged with bank robbery in the Sept. 6 robbery of Firestone Community Federal Credit Union on MacArthur Drive in West Orange.
According to information provided U.S. Attorney John M. Bales, Mink, 26, is "alleged to have entered" the credit union and "racked" the shotgun he was carrying while demanding money from the three bank tellers on duty that morning. Mink managed to flee the credit union with $48,265.
Tips by local citizens to law enforcement helped to identify Mink as the bank robber and other tips helped identify the waterfront location where the weapon had reportedly been disposed of following the crime.
Law enforcement divers have since recovered part of the weapon from that location.
If convicted, Mink will face up to 20 years in federal prison.

My Orca Nano Tl-550 Journal
Posted 02 February 2010 - 07:09 PM
The beginning
So for about a year I had this unhealthy obsession with having a marine tank. At first, like with all my hair brain ideas I thought it would just pass and in a few months I would be crazy about starting sky diving lessons or something. A whole year past and in that time I had read loads on the internet and visited my lfs once every few weeks and asked almost every annoying question, until I saw this pic on the internet
It was then I decided to go nano. I found my tl 550 on the Internet (flee bay) it was used for a year by a young guy in Guilford and I put a bid on it for about £170. To my suprise whilst at work I check my iPhone and I had won it for £130. Sweet!
Wish I could show you some setting up pics but they were taken on an iPhone that got lost in a messy night out in London.
So once I had bought the tank it sat in my living room for about two months before I read enough on the internet to feel confident enough to put salt water in.
In the meantime I fitted some new blue led lights in the lid. As the old ones were dead. Was really easy just unscrewed the metal reflector and plugged them in. I also replaced the t5s. As I managed to break them when removed them to fit the LEDs! Dow!
Setting it up
Now I was ready for water. I used ro water from the lfs. (two journeys) and red sea coral pro. I mixed it up in the tank and turned on the pumps to get it circulated. The stock pump in my version of the tl550 is at the bottom of chamber 4 and it connects to a uv (which I also replaced with a new bulb) that then connects to a spray bar at the top of chamber 4. I also put in a koralia 2 from flee bay new for £32.
After about three days I was happy the salt level was steady at 1.023 (using a V2 refractormeter, It's so easy to use! One of the best bits of kit I bought. Found it on flee bay £22). I then placed in some live rock. I could only stretch to £60 worth which was 6kgs and a bag of fiji pink live sand (about £25). I read that live sand was the way forward and I also read it's a waist of money?!? I couldn't make up my mind so just bought it anyway.
I placed the live rock on top of some egg crate I got from flee bay and poured in the live sand. A cloud that I though would never clear eventually did about a day later and I spent the next 24 hours with my hands in the tank making every possible combination of aqua scaping with my limited live rocks.
Eventually I got this:
With LEDs on
I then added some rowaphos and carbon on top of some live rock rubble in chamber two.
The cycle
Within two days I began testing for ammonia nitrate and nitrite using a nutrafin test kit. In the first test I saw the spike in these that I had read about and watched them fall within another week or so.
In this time I saw heaps of things growing on the rocks. From algae to worms and even a tiny small brown mushroom type things. The rocks started turning dark purple and bright green and I saw a starfish thing on the glass.
Some more time passed and My tank was ending it's cycle, i did a 20% water change and I added some morr live rock and cuc. Two red legged hermits and two turbo snails.
Adding cuc
I was told that red legged hermits are less aggressive but don't eat as much. They seem to be doing a fine job (at night mostly) I named them Hanabal and The Herminator. I read that they should have extra shells to change into so my lady and I took a trip to Whistable and looked for shells on the beach.
I took a few and placed them in the tank, that night Hanabal ditched his current home and upgraded to a bigger one that I had added. So cool! The turbo snails seem happy to work all day long with sort breaks. One day I saw red legs and claws floating in the tank and I couldn't find Hanabal anywhere. I honeslty thought he was a gona. A few days later he appeared, I read that they often shed there outer skeleton. Cool!
Adding fish
Another two weeks passed and I took some water into a lfs. They did some tests and told me what I was ready for fish.
I chose two clowns. I was so excited and got them home asap and aclimated them over about 30 mins dripping in small amounts of my water in the bag slowly.
I named them Tango and Cash
I bought frozen food a mixure of everything pretty much. But to be honest they would only eat the brine shrimp so I bought some brine shrimp in garlic and I mixed them up with the other foods and sucked it up in a small syringe. I fed small amounts throughout the day about 3-4 times a day.
The first week went well but then something bad happened. Both clowns were covered in a white glaze/film. Within 48hours the bigger one, Tango died but the smaller one Cash managed to shrug it off and he is still doing well today.
Not sure what tango had. We think it could have been a disease called Brooklynella. But to be honest it could have been any number of things and I'll probably never know if it was something I did or if he was on his way out when I bought him??? Sad times.
Brown stuff
Soon I notice my lovely colourful clean rocks and beautiful white and pink sand was turning a dirty brown colour.
I believe this is due to newly forming diatoms. To combat this I have reduced my lighting cycle down to 8 hours and recently introduced some cerith snails which are munching away.
Today I also added another hermit. He's a little feisty as he went for my finger when I placed him on a rock. I've called him Quinten "The Rampage" Jackson after the cage fighter.
Future plans
I've had ups and downs starting this nano and I know I've got a long way to go. My plans are to add a cleaner shrimp and later a mate for Cash once I'm happy that he is truely fit and well. I'm going to wait till he gets a little bigger and I'm going to add a little clown in hope that Cash turns into a female and they couple up.
I def want corals and have my eye on a toadstool coral at my lfs, but really don't want to rush things. So I'm going to hold out until my rocks are clean again and Ive successfully buffered my ph to 8.3 and my salt is 1.026. I will also start testing for phosphates etc.
As for other fish i'm open to suggestions. I want colour and a peaceful tank. Your thoughts please?
As for hardware I want to replace the stock pump to a maxi jet 1000 or 900 not sure which. Then I will put the stock pump in the back bottom left corner of main tank aimed the rock to help with circulation there.
The tank today 2/02/10
I've move the rocks around for the last time and I'm leaving them be! The cerith snails have worked magic in just 24 hours. I witness the blue hermit change shells and change back. I conducted a water change and added a little more salt than usual to try and bring my level up but it did nothing to the overall salinity of the tank. Guess I will have to heavly does some or water and add it slowly over a few days? Any thoughts on this
Also I went to the LFS to enquire about buffeting the ph. The dude there said to buffer the kh and the ph will follow. I left more confused. So could anyone help me out? Cheers
Posted 05 February 2010 - 05:12 PM
Don't start mucking around with your water yet - just ensure all your stats are good, that your sg is up to 1.026 for your corals and you do a regular weekly water change of 25% with a good salt mix.
I had no problems as long as I stuck to those rules with my 550 - go slow and steady, read and ask questions before buying anything and you will be rewarded wtih a wonderful tank

thanks for the advise. Just got a few qs if that's cool? Things that i'm not sure on. I'm currently using Red sea coral pro salt, I'm always unsure how long to leave it mixed up before I put it in the tank. A few hours or over night?. What salt do you use? Do u buffer ph kh. Again what do you use?
Cheers mate
Ps I really like your tag/banner/signature thing at the bottom of your posts. How do u come buy those? Did you have someone design it? It's cool

between 12 to 24 hours is best, with heat and a powerhead. I use D & D H2Ocean and no, don't buffer ph or kh

I take it the H2ocean salt u use brings you ph up nicely then? I just can't get mine up(now now lol) with red sea coral pro to 8.3. Would u recomend I change salt or buffer?
ps I'll look into mybanner.com. Nice one
Posted 12 February 2010 - 07:34 AM
The temperature in my tank is drivig me mad! The thermostat on my heater is turned up to 26c and the temp in the main tank reaches a smidgen under 28c(I'm guessing that's too high right??). I turned the thermostat down to 25.5c and no change to the temp at all. So I turn the stat down to 25 and this morning my tank is 22c. Ahhhhhhhhhh!
I'm stressing that my clown is going to die due to all this up and down temperature business!!!!
Some reasurence would help out here! I think I need a new heater
Posted 12 February 2010 - 04:00 PM
As long as it doesn't just drop a few degrees instantly, you should find the clowns to be ok.
That said, I wouldn't leave them at 22C very long! This is why it's important to test your equipment for a bit BEFORE you get livestock
Also, I use reef crystals in my tank because it has trace elements for corals. It does cost a little more than regular instant ocean though.

Posted 18 February 2010 - 11:40 AM
They are distively two different colours though! Cash is dark orange with little black on him. Where as Tango II is like a yellow/orange with quite wide black lines? Both are thought to be captive bread??? Any thoughts?
I replaced the heater with a fluval e200. Which seems to be a good bit of kit. It has an LCD panel that displays the tank temp and lights up blue if is colder than the temp you set. Green if is bang on and red if it's too hot. It's housed in a protective guard and I have chosen to leave it in the main tank for now. Until I have a stronger pump in the back that will increase the water transfer into the main tank.
I've added some more live rock and think on Friday I'm off to the lfs to get a cleaner shrimp. I'm also tempted to get a toadstall coral but can someone tell me not to do it yet and it's best to wait!lol

ps CoMan, would you recommend the tank?
Edited by seffieuk, 21 February 2010 - 07:15 PM.
Posted 21 February 2010 - 02:38 PM
The stock pump is on the main tank in the bottom left corner pointing at the live rock and there is some good flow there now. Cool!
Check out my leather coral I've called it Edmond. He's doing well he's been in for about three days. I was umming and arring over whether to get him but I did some extra water tests over the last week with my API reef master kit and nitrate is now 0, phosphate 0, calcium 450, kh 9 and ph 8.1
Oh and salinity is 1.026
So with that in mind I thought I'd go for it. As you can see I have placed him mid way up on the rock. He closed up and shrunk away for about 2 hours and then was out to play.
The flow on him is moderate, the tenticles sort of wave around a little and open and close occassionaly. Which I'm guessing is normal?
Next plan is to get a cleaner shrimp and then maybe a xenia.

Posted 22 February 2010 - 08:46 AM
Cheers Seffie, yeah I'm well happy with him. He seems to extend a little bit more everyday but always shrinks away at night when the light goes out. Do you now what type of toadstool he is?
Lovely toadstool and conditions must be near perfect for him if he came out within two hours

can i ask you to put a photo on the coral of the week thread please (Sarcophyton)
Posted 24 February 2010 - 10:25 PM
I acclimated them for about 2hours adding a cup of water to their bags every 15mins. The cleaner hid for the first few hours and then came out at night. The xenia was a little more shy. She was placed at the top of the highest rock were there is moderate to high flow. It stayed shrunk for over 24 hours.
I then moved her down to an area that is more protected and within 2hours she was extended and pulsing! Cool.
I've moved a few things about and I know it's far far from finshed but I really am happy. To me it's sort of starting to look a little like a reef.

Mate thanks for the comments. Really nice to have some positive feedback. Def start a journal! I'm sure if you start it and just update it when you can it will be great. I mean I don't have a pc at the mo and doing this journal from my phone!lol I have busy thumbs.lol. Personally would really like to read how your getting on with your set up and it helps us newbs.
Love your tank,and that toadstool is really fab I wish I had the patience to write a journal, but I'm hopeless!
Posted 04 March 2010 - 01:10 PM
For three days it terrorised my clowns chasing them endlessly stopping only to nip at my cleaner shrimp and hermits until it managed to eat one! Great!
Knowing it would be hard to catch I knew it would have to go back. Piece by piece the live rock was removed and even then he continued to circle my toadstool which also was removed until I had him cornered caught and bagged(very slippery fella)
My tank destroyed and aquascaping demolished he was returned to the lfs who found my story most amusing! he was swapped for a royal gramma that had just come in and whilst there a friend i was with said she wanted to buy me a fish. She pointed out the coral beauty that I had shown her as the fish of my dreams
and before I could decline her offer she had paid at the counter. I cooked her dinner in return.
A day later once i had restored my tank to some sort of order picked up my fish and brought home.
Moral of this story.
Don't let your wife chose your fish! Even if she is willing to pay!
What the lfs tells you is not always what's going to happen!
If a friend buys you the fish of your dreams cook Her a really nice dinner. She may buy you another some day?
Some picks to follow in a few days

As soon as I sync the calendar via Traveller (1 month past/3month future) the calendar becomes very slow. Also the phone is reacting much slower. I have deleted the calendar and synced via PCsuite again and everything is ok and quick again. Very strange.
26-02-2012 23:44
@ Lubbers
1 Syncing with LN traveler (remote) makes my E7 very slow ( useless)
2 Then=> Sync with Nokia Suite on my home PC (so all business entries are on my pc at home).
3 Delete all entries on my E7 (its empty after that)
4 Reload all entries from Nokia Suite (they are back on my E7) Now running smooth!
5 With the same entries (that were slow) but coming from nokia suite instead of LN traveler my E7 is running fine. (Still wonder why since they are the same entrrie that originally came from LN traveler and were slow).
6 Since then, my E7 updates new entries from LN traveler (remote every hour) (removing 2 weeks in the past and 6 months in future)
7 Still working fine so far.
8 Now about 90% of all entries came from my home pc as described above and about 10% came from LN traveler (By syncing). In about the next 6 months all entries originate from LN traveler (remote sync)
I wonder how long its will run smooth.
CONCLUSION : Data directly coming from LN traveler makes the E7 very slow or almost useless., The SAME (!!!!) data from Nokia Suite causes no problem at all.
So there must be a difference between calendar data coming from LN traveler and the same calendar data coming from Nokia Suite.
27-02-2012 12:53
I have the same issues as you describe, my phone even crashes because of the sync problems with Traveller.
Strange thing is that 2 of my colleagues also have an E7 without the problems that I have. The only difference I found so far is that they have Dutch language for the phone were mine is English. I can not imagine that this is the problem.

Hi i have tested on nokia E7 and lotus traveler 184.108.40.206 and if client is configured with domain name es. mail.myserver.com have a problem with mail and calendar, but if configure client with IP Addresso es. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx calendar and mail sync nomally.
28-02-2012 18:53
pex81 Thanks for the hint it seems indeed that here is the issue.
I found out that a colleage of mine syncs via wifi instead of GPRS which I use. I have now also synced (first time) via Wifi and I noticed that the calendar is now named "Lotus" where it before was named "Personal". Syncing went smooth and without problems of slowing down the calendar/phone. After that I have used my GPRS connection again and it seems just a little slower but much much better then before. The calendar is stilled called "Lotus".
Very strange but it seems to be working now. Thanks again big time.

My Calendar is named "Personal" not "Lotus".
I have tested another problem, on setting Traveler configuration "Automatic Syncronization" if set "Always Connect" i recived error after tot. min, if setting "sync each 15 min" work, but this is not push email.
I personally am disappointed.

This is really ridicolous. I thought I had everything going well. Not sure what happened, but the problems of the slowing down of my phone are back! It is not possible to do syncing via traveller. Syncing via PCsuite works fine.

The "Agendaserver for calendar" is available for Nokia Belle devices. Please update via SW Update, if you have Lotus Notes Traveler version 22.214.171.124. That should help on the calendar performance issues.

The agendaserver update also does not solve the problem for me unfortunatly (Traveller 220.127.116.11).
20-03-2012 19:50
The only working solution after a lot op updates testings, back to factory settings and anything you can imagine, this works for me.
The calendar becomes slow/useless after an initial sync with LN traveler, or after "replace" data from LN to calendar.
This works:
Step 1
Remove all calendar entries on your E7. After its emptied, it works fine, although there are no items at all since when you removed them.
Step 2
Do an initial sync with LN traveler ( I did it by 3G, wireless) Take a small range for example 1 month in the past till 3 months in the future. (I'll explain why later)
Your calender is filled now and very slow, or even seless.
Step 3
Sync your slow calendar with an empty calendar on your (home) pc, (With Nokia Suite) for example with outlook calendar. Now your business calendar entries are both on your phone as on your home pc.
Step 4
Again remove all calendar items on your E7.
Step 5
Sync again your E7 with the calendar on your home pc using Nokia Suite.
Now your E7 has the calendardata back. But the difference is, now your calendar is running smooth and quickly.
Step 6
By the first LN Traveler sync with your office your data are doubled in your office calendar. You'll find every entrie twice on Lotus Notes but only once on your E7.
Don't remove the doubles on LN because with the next sync you'll lose most of the entries on your E7. This is why you have to sync only 1 month in the past till e.g. 3 or 6 month in the future. This problem will disappear with the time. With every sync new data are put on your e7 and ald data wille be removed, and only once and not double again.
I did these steps about a month ago so now most of the old entries are replaced by every sync that's automatically done every 1 hour. Still my E7 is running fine.
Conclusion: Problems occur after the initianal sync, and NOT after the folowing syncs with traveler. The initial sync into an empty E7 calendat must be done from your home pc as described above. The Traveler update from nokia did not help to solve the issue.
I hope this will help you. Let us know!

@Raymond. Unfortunatly that did not work for me.
I try to explain what I did:
Step 1
Removed all calendar entries: Personal calendar -> "Delete all events" and PC suite calender "Delete Calendar". Now there is one calendar "Personal" which is empty. Phone is ok.
Step 2
Sync via Traveller: (wifi) 1 month past and 3 month future -> Result: Ok, no slowing down of my calendar/phone. There is 1 calendar on my phone called "Personal".
BUT I noticed that not all my calendar entries in the 4 month time span (Lotus Notes Calender on PC) were synced to my Nokia. Strange, I have not noticed this before.
I think the appointments that did/will not sync via traveller came originally from my Phone via the PCsuite synchronization to the PC.
When I sync via PCsuite afterwards these entries are synced to my phone to the calendar named PC Suite. So at that moment there are 2 calendars. 1 That was synced via Traveller (goes to the default "Personal) and the other is synced via PCSuite (called: PC suite).
At that moment things start to slow down to the point the phone is useless.
It seems that appointments from the PC suite syncing can not "live beside" appointments that are synced via Traveller after the Belle upgrade.
Raymond. You mention that you have/had double appointments. Is it correct to assume that 1 appointment is in the Personal calendar and the other in the PCsuite?
13-04-2012 20:28
@ lubbers. Amon all the calendar test n my E7 I have never seen a calendar other than 'personal'
So I've always had only 1 calendar and thats called 'personal' . I don't think there's an issue with double calendars. My workaround stll works, but I noticed that all callendar items that were made by my secretary with other LN users were cancelled in their office LN calendars. So, at many meetings nobody but me showed up

Treewyrm says: Six degrees of freedom in claustrophobic nightmare full of intense combat challenging your sense of the space. One of the first to have real internet multi-player. And if it wasn't enough find Vertigo expansion for Descent 2.
Treewyrm says: Always bet on Duke! Nuff said. Doom was the first in its generation but it was Duke that perfected 3D action genre. In addition to that Duke had excellent map making tools with it.
Treewyrm says: Breathtaking visuals and amazing music capturing the essence of a far distant alien world. The overwhelming moment you get out of the prison ship is priceless. Technically most advanced game upon it's release.
Treewyrm says: Whereas Unreal was excellent single player experience it was Unreal Tournament to deliver excellent multi-player. Countless rounds on Facing worlds.
Treewyrm says: Space opera can't get any more massive and epic with Freespace 2. Classic formula aliens, alliances, space combat and mysterious enemy never worked so well. Dive dive, pilot, dive!
Treewyrm says: Adventure with action elements set in a beautiful alien world. Visuals unlike anything else due to use of voxel graphics. It's a gem to discover.

So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The University of Louisville basketball team will begin its exhibition basketball season Tuesday night, but Cardinals' coach Rick Pitino says it is a bit behind schedule."We are behind a week or two in teaching," Pitino said on Monday. ". . . We've had a lot of little injuries. We've been going at it pretty hard and the guys have paid the price."The latest is transfer point guard Chris Jones, who has been spotted around campus in a walking boot, but Pitino said it's more of a precaution than anything and listed Jones as the starting point guard for Tuesday's 7 p.m. exhibition game against Kentucky Wesleyan in the KFC Yum! Center. Tim Henderson, who had 17 points in the Cards' last scrimmage, has a badly jammed finger and might miss the exhibition."He is (in a boot)," Pitino said of Jones. "We've had a lot of little nagging injuries. They put you in a walking boot just for the day, so you can practice."Nonetheless, Pitino said he expects Jones to start at guard against KWC, along with Russ Smith. Wayne Blackshear and Montrezl Harrell, named the team's third captain by Pitino on Monday, and Stephan Van Treese at center, also are expected to start.It's not the lineup the Cards will play with when at full strength. Pitino said Luke Hancock had his final MRI Monday morning and that his foot injury is "definitely almost healed." He expects Hancock to begin practicing sometime this week, though he won't play in the exhibition game.Also back on the court is Kevin Ware, who Pitino said began individual instruction two days ago and who should also return to practice sometime this week."He looks good," Pitino said. ". . . You always worry about the psychological aspect of it, but he's pretty good right now. I don't think he's going to be bothered too much psychologically. I think he wants to get out there and play. He dunks the ball with relative ease, that tells you right there. In the beginning he was landing on one foot with his jump shot, now he's landing on two. He's healed. His leg is as good as your leg or my leg."The lone other missing player is Chane Behanan, out on an indefinite suspension. Pitino said Behanan's timetable for return has not changed and remains a question, but that he's happy with the progress the junior forward has made."I have no idea when he's coming back, but I am really, really pleased because this is incorporating a lot of changes in his life that had to be made," Pitino said. "One was discipline, another was being on time, being early, I should say, another was respecting everything you do in the right way, understanding that your team has high expectations of you, and then even to time management. There's a lot of positives coming out of this. He's always been good for the team, but these changes he's making in his daily life are going to be such a positive for him. You don't like to see anyone suspended indefinitely, but I think this is going to be about as good a thing as ever happened to him, because he's going to be a better person away from the lines. And by that I don't mean he's a bad person -- he's always been a terrific young man. But in terms of responsibilities -- because he is a dad -- this is a Godsend for him, everything that is happening."As for the team, Pitino said he's interested to see how it looks when it finally faces outside competition on Tuesday. From officiating to how the Cardinals' players at the center position compete, he still has some unknowns to deal with on what he says is a much different team from last season's, a "higher-maintenance" team.It's certainly a team that has more players who have the ability to create their own offense."One day Russ Smith looks like the best guard, the next day it's Rozier," Pitino said. "The last three days in a row it's been Chris Jones. Last week it was Tim Henderson. So these guys are getting after each other really hard and the great thing is you can't tell who your best player is based on today. And the other great thing is they're fierce -- and I mean fierce -- competitors."Inside, Pitino said that redshirt freshman Mangok Mathiang continues to make progress, but that Van Treese has earned the start at center, and that coaches are "embarrassing" him into improvement by putting him on a treadmill every time he passes up a shot.But Harrell remains the primary interior threat, a fact underscored by Pitino's decision to make him a captain even though he's just a sophomore. Pitino said his effort is at 100 percent, not just in every practice, but on every play, and that he wanted to reward that.Harrell also has become more vocal, particularly on defense."He's a very much improved basketball player," Pitino said. ". . . He was a good runner, jumper, dunker, shot-blocker. Now he's an improved passer, better ballhandler and a much better shooter. He leads every which way. He's a tough guy. . . . I just think he's a perfect power forward."The Cardinals will get their first competition of the season against a KWC team led by new coach Happy Osborne, the longtime coach at Georgetown. Osborne has averaged 30.4 wins per season in 15 years as a college head coach, and has never failed to win at least 25 games.KWC also will begin play in a new conference this season, leaving the Great Lakes Valley Conference for the new Great Midwest Athletic Conference.Pitino and Osborne will meet for the fifth time, with Pitino's average victory margin at 11.5 points."Playing against yourself each day you really can't judge how good you are until you play against outside competition," Pitino said. "And in this game, we have no idea what they're going to run, and that helps you as well because your players have to spontaneously react to an offense and how to defend it. So there's a lot of curiosity behind this game and we're excited. Happy Osborne's teams have always played us tough."

GALESBURG, Ill. -- One Central Illinois city is getting ready to welcome the president.
A White House official says President Obama will be in Galesburg Wednesday.
It is part of a 3-day bus trip in which he will be talking about the economy.
Although they aren't sure what the President will be talking about exactly, Galesburg officials said it's good for the whole region when a president comes to town.
Deputy Mayor Wayne Allen said, "Federal dollars come from Washington, where the President is at. That doesn't mean he is bringing federal dollars with him, he's probably not, but it's always nice to be on his radar."
"It kind of puts us on the map," said Leo Dion, president of the Galesburg Regional Economic Development Association. "The impact of having a President come here and have his presence here, talk a little bit about the area and have that connection is very important for the people here."
More details about his visit will be released as it gets closer.
This is not his first visit to Galesburg. The last time was in August 2011 when he meet with the high school football team.
At that time is was on his way to Alpha, Illinois where he talked about the economy.

Bloomberg TV Interview, September 16, 2013
Frank Friedman, chief financial officer, Deloitte LLP, discusses top of mind CFO issues including capital, business partnering and healthcare on Bloomberg TV's CFO Week segment, "Taking Stock with Pimm Fox."
Pimm Fox, Anchor, "Taking Stock with Pimm Fox:" It is CFO week here on Bloomberg Television. We're going to be speaking with some of the biggest names in American business here on "Taking Stock" and throughout the day. Joining me now is the chief financial officer of Deloitte LLP, Frank Friedman. Deloitte is the nation's largest professional services organization. They advise more than 70 percent of the Fortune 500 in topics including capital strategy, taxes, and financial reporting.
Frank Friedman, welcome to "Taking Stock." Thanks for coming in.
Frank Friedman: Thank you very much.
Fox: I gotta start off by asking you, what does the chief financial officer at Deloitte do?
Friedman: Well, not too different than most chief financial officers. We're a little different; we're a private company. We're not a public company. We don't deal with investors or analysts. But, I do have 3,000 partners that come to work every single day, and they understand accounting and they understand finance; they understand consulting. And so, it's a very educated [uh] shareholder group, if you will. We're not different; we have the same sort of finance structure. I deal with capital planning. I deal with cash forecasting, budgeting. Some untraditional things coming in to the CFO—it's becoming a little bit more traditional—so I've got, as well, administrative functions like real estate and procurement.
Fox: So, what are some of the topics that you're having to deal with when you come to the 3,000 people that might call you on the telephone? Is it things like healthcare? Is it things like changes in tax policy? What is at the top of your list right now?
Friedman: I think, generally speaking, it's certainly retirement; it's certainly capital. But, I think what CFOs and our partners expect of me, and I think CFOs are having to do, is start to move up the food chain a little bit. I call it going up and going broad. And so, people have thought that we are stewards of our assets and that we are operators, but I think, to be relevant, CFOs are becoming more strategists, more catalysts, and I think our partners expect me to do something similar—so, all the traditional things, but probably broader than a traditional CFO has been.
Fox: In other words, be more active in the actual, ongoing business of the company?
Friedman: And, as a consequence, be more relevant. And so, moving up and crossing the boundaries of finance into the business areas makes a CFO more relevant and it makes me more relevant. It makes any CFO, actually, more relevant, and it gets you involved in the day-to-day business operations, especially the strategies that, often times, CFOs have not chosen to do.
Fox: How did you end up becoming the CFO at Deloitte? What was the route that you took?
Friedman: Well, I wasn't necessarily in a finance function. I started with Deloitte, actually, a long time ago, in 1979. And so, I'd been a career Deloitte person. I was client service, client service—that's how—and if you were good enough at client service, eventually, it took you out of client service and you became more involved in certain administration activities. I ran offices; I ran regions. And, eventually, it kind of migrated to financial operations.
Fox: Now, the offices, for example, at Deloitte here in the United States, but we know that Deloitte is a global firm—you even have operations, for example, in India that you are connected with. Tell us about that.
Friedman: Well, we are certainly global. We have operations in over 100 countries. The U.S. firm has operations here, has operations in India, as well, and so, we play in various global markets, and we'll continue to play in various global markets under the umbrella of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, which is our global organization.
Fox: What's the fastest growing region right now, geographically and by industry?
Friedman: The relevance of geographic has become less as we become more global and national. So, we actually look at it much more in terms of service areas and service lines. We have two fundamental businesses: the trust business, which is attest, audit, tax, and then the advisory sorts of businesses, which are consulting. Clearly, the consulting has been the growth engine for the firm over the last few years, and particularly in areas such as technology, human capital, and strategy and operations.
Fox: And does it also take into account, obviously, government regulation and how companies must live with ongoing changes in government policies?
Friedman: A lot, yes. We have groups that all they do is advise companies on how to comply with rules and regulations, state and federal.
Fox: And October the 1st is the introduction of new healthcare reform legislation around the country. Have you been getting a lot of questions about this?
Friedman: We have, and we've been very active. The state exchange has opened up. People can start enrolling on October 1. It's a big day for the country, and we're looking forward to it with some optimism as to what will transpire.
Fox: I want to thank you very much for joining me.
Friedman: It's been my pleasure.
Fox: Speaking to Frank Friedman, the chief financial officer of Deloitte.

What's next for Aereo after Supreme Court ruling?June 26, 2014 1:10 pm | by The Associated Press | Comments

Willie Irvine column: Let's hope Ings is next to pen Burnley deal (From This Is Lancashire)
Willie Irvine column: Let's hope Ings is next to pen Burnley deal
12:50pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in Sport By Willie Irvine
SAM Vokes signing a new contract is great news. If Danny Ings was to agree an extension with the Clarets that would be better still.
It's vital that we at least hold on to the top scorer during the January transfer window.
Interest in the striker is hotting up because of the fantastic season he is having. With 20 goals already he is well on course to steal my 37-goal top scoring crown, with plenty of games to go.
This time last year we were talking about Charlie Austin doing the same thing. He fell short in the end, but Danny could do it. And if push came to shove I would say he is a better player than Charlie, because he is a team man.
The two struggled to form a partnership because Charlie was more selfish.
I don't think Danny is selfish in any way. When there is an opportunity for him to strike, he knows when to take it, but he can lay it off as well.
Together with Sam they bring the best out in each other, and Sam's contract extension is richly deserved.
He has benefited brilliantly from regular football and more than held his own against Southampton in the cup.
It sends out the right message by the club when they are keeping hold of their best players.
But it is just as important for the Clarets to add to their squad this month.
Sean Dyche has done a wonderful job in getting a small squad into the automatic promotion spots at this stage of the season, without spending on signings. But with the board surely being able to see the prize on offer, funds will be made available for the manager to get the players he wants.
Winger Ross Wallace is on his way back to boost the ranks of course, but if injuries or suspensions kick in our squad would be stretched, especially if anything was to happen to the front two.
* THERE are some managers who couldn't care less about the FA Cup.
Why they can't see the magic of this famous old domestic trophy that's revered around the world, I don't understand.
And what a tie it turned out to be for Burnley.
We went to Premier League Southampton and put in a tremendous performance to come away with our pride intact.
Jay Rodriguez came off the bench to score, and not celebrating was testimony to how he feels about Burnley.
When we went 2-0 down after 28 minutes it looked like game over. I don't know what Sean Dyche said in the dressing room but we came out and got back on level terms very quickly.
The Saints were rattled and the Clarets could even have gone ahead.
It wasn't to be our day but it shows we can hold our own against top flight opposition, which bodes well for what we all hope the team can achieve this season.
Ashley Barnes at Brighton seems an ideal target, so hopefully we can get him, and another one or two more would be welcome.
Our success in the transfer market could just be the difference between success and failure.

Madison (WQOW) -- Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen gave plenty of hints, but says he will not publicly announce his starting quarterback until the Badgers' first game.
Saturday was the team's lone practice of the weekend. Senior Curt Phillips received the majority of the first team reps, leading the offence on a 69-yard touchdown drive in the two-minute drill. Although he was coy with reporters, Andersen hinted that Phillips is leading the quarterback battle with Joel Stave and Tanner McEvoy.
