The event provides fall graduates the opportunity to make all of their commencement purchases at one time. Grad Fest is held each fall and spring semester at UTSA. Seniors will be able to order an official UTSA ring, announcements, caps and gowns, a diploma frame, sign up for Alumni Association membership and pose for a graduation picture (1604 Campus only).

"The Alumni Association is proud to present such an opportunity to our graduating seniors," said Jane Burton, director of alumni programs. "This is a time of celebration and excitement, and we want our graduates to know we are here to help them take care of their needs at such a significant time in their lives."
Students will have the opportunity to speak with campus representatives from Army ROTC, Career Services, the Graduate School and the Graduation Coordination office. There are also many services for future alumni to take advantage of including buying auto, home and property insurance, student loan consolidation and information on test preparation courses.
Students who purchase a diploma during Grad Fest will save $12 on shipping and handling. Also, it is the last opportunity for students to purchase an official UTSA ring with guaranteed graduation delivery.

Re: Soup's on!!
600-750 g of cod (boneless)
2 big potatoes, peeled and diced up
30-40 g of lardons
45 cl of creme fraiche (recipe is posted on JO somewhere...) - honestly, use less, this seems like quite a lot!
1 onion chopped up
Cook the lardons (cut up into pieces) in a pan for several minutes - avoid it getting browned.
Add onion and let it wilt, stiring occasionally.
Now, add the potatoes, and 500cl of water.
Let cook for a couple of minutes until the potatoes soften a bit. Now, add the filets and let cook until the fish starts to flake if you touch it with a fork.
At the end add the creme fraiche and let cook for a few minutes, but don't let it boil.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Now, just to make it really rich, add a piece of butter to the bowl before serving.

Re: Soup's on!!
Today's T2 has some rather lovely recipes by Jill Dupleix, celebrating National Soup Week. Here are two of them that tickled my fancy:
Prep: 20min
Cook: 50min
Serves 4
If you can't find cavolo nero (black cabbage), go for curly kales, Swiss chard, ruby chard or Savoy cabbage.
600g cavolo nero
3 tbsp olive oil
2 celery stalks, finely sliced
1 leek, finely sliced
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 tsp tomato puree
400g potatoes, finely diced
2 bay leaves
4 thyme sprigs
1.5 litres water or stock
400g tinned white beans, rinsed
sea salt and pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Discard the large stems of the cavolo nero, and roughly shred the leaves. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the celery, leek and carrot. Fry over gentle heat for ten minutes. Add the cavolo nero, potatoes, tomato puree, bay leaves and thyme. Add the water or stock and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Mash a third of the beans toa paste and add to the soup with the rest of the beans, stirring well. Add sea salt and pepper to taste, scatter with parsley and serve in warm bowls, drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Prep: 20min
Cook: 20min
Serves 4
This light, creamy tom kha gai includes aromatics such as lemon grass and galangal or ginger that flavour the soup and are not meant to be eaten.
1 mild red chilli
4 cm knob galangal or ginger
2 stalks lemongrass
200g button mushrooms, trimmed
400ml coconut milk
1 litre light chicken stock
2 shallots, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 chicken breasts, skinned
2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
Handful coriander leaves
Deseed the chilli and finely julienne lengthwise. Peel and finely slice the galangal or ginger. Bash the lemongrass and cut each stalk in half. Trim the mushrooms and cut in half, slicing if large. In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk, chicken stock, chilli, galangal, lemongrass, shallots, and sugar to a gentle simmer. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, then finely slice against the grain. Add the chicken, mushrooms and fish sauce to the stock and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked and tender. Add the lime juice and taste for salt (fish sauce or sea salt), heat (chilli), and sweetness (sugar). Serve in warm bowls scattered with loads of coriander leaves.

Re: Soup's on!!
Hey Mon, I love creamy seafood soups and like the look of yours but is the lard truly necessary?
I dont even know where to get it... dont think its been in popular usage here for a long time. I remember seeing it at the butchers in waxed paper cups when I was a little girl, but that is getting to be a long time ago.
Is it beef drippings? Am I right?

Re: Soup's on!!
Lard...Mon???? :shock:
Ok...anyway...this is my take on bouillabaise...the thai way.
I've followed Nigella's recipe but tweaked it a little,then decided recently,why not turn it into a soup by adding more broth?
Reduce the broth by a third t make the curry.
I will be making it tonight for guests,with crayfish...that's what made me think of posting it here.
By all means,reduce the spiciness to adjust to your tolerance.
400ml coconut milk
1-2 tablespoons yellow (or red) Thai curry paste,more if you can take the heat!
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1.2litres fish stock
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons palm (coconut) sugar or brown sugar
3 lemongrass stalks,green upper part discarded, white parts each cut into three and bruised with the flat of a knife
3 lime leaves, de-stalked and cut into strips
half teaspoon turmeric
1 kg pumpkin (or butternut squash), peeled and cut into large-bite-sized chunks
500g fish fillet, skinned and cut into large-bite-sized chunks
500g peeled raw prawns
pak choi or any other green vegetables of your choice
juice of half to one lime, to taste
chopped coriander, to serve
Chopped fresh basil
Heat 2-3 tbsp peanut oil till fairly hot. Add ginger,garlic, curry paste, lemongrass, lime leaves and turmeric. Fry,stirring constantly till fragrant. Add sugar and pumpkin,fry for 1 minute more.
Add fish stock and fish sauce. Cook on a fast simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 15 minutes, although different sorts of pumpkins can vary enormously in the time they take to cook
Stir in the coconut milk,adding a little water if too thick,bearing in mind that the seafood exudes juices when cooked. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
You can cook the curry up till this part in advance, maybe leaving the pumpkin with a tiny bit of bite to it (it will soften and cook as the pan cools). Either way, when you're about 5 minutes away from wanting to eat, get ready to cook the seafood.
So, to the simmering liquid (DON'T boil,as the coconut milk will clump together,and you'll have to waste time whisking like fury to smoothen the sauce), add the fish and prawns (if you're using the prawns from frozen they'll need to go in before the fish). When the fish and prawns have cooked through, which shouldn't take more than 3-4 minutes, stir in any green veg you're using - sliced, chopped or shredded as suits - and tap down with a wooden spoon.
When the pak choi is wilted, squeeze in the juice of half a lime, stir and taste and then add the juice of the remaining half if you feel it needs it. Take the pan off the heat or decant the curry into a large bowl, and sprinkle over the coriander and basil; the point is that the coriander goes in just before serving. Stir it in,check seasoning again.
Serve with more chopped coriander for people to add to their own bowls as they eat, and some plain Thai or basmati rice.
You can pretty much include any seafood you like...including scallops, more types of fish,mussels or clams... crayfish or crabs even!
(Poach mussels or clams separately with a slice of ginger in water and a little sherry,discard those that are closed...stir into curry.)
(If using crayfish or crabs,leave crayfish whole or split in half,hack crabs up,steam separately with several slices of ginger and garlic slivers arranged on them...till just cooked,discard the ginger and garlic...stir in the crabs or crayfish into the curry just before serving.)

Re: Soup's on!!
Well, actually here, it's called "lardons" but cut in thin little allumettes - like matchsticks.
Frankly, it was a nice taste added to the soup, otherwise it would've been awfully bland and boring with a capital B.
It's not only FAT that you'd be adding - hope that clears up that question.
I don't use the smoked ones, just the plain ones.

Re: Soup's on!!
Hello everyone..as I was still confused I googled "Lardons" ...
This is what I found out...
Lardon is bacon cut into chunks not sliced thinly like you see it here in Oz and probably in the States too...apparently you heat it until it is cooked but not brown to extract as much fat as possible.
The french like to cook with the bacon fat.
Mystery solved!

Re: Soup's on!!
Maybe you are all bored to death by the thought of eating more pumpkin, now that Halloween is over, but in Holland we don't have traditions like that, so I'll enthusiastically share my pumpkin soup recipe with all you soup lovers.
My mom's pumpkin soup
1 Lb pumpkin, cut in pieces and peeled
1 onion, peeled and cut in pieces
1 potato, peeled and cut in pieces
1,5 liters vegetable or chicken stock
2 cloves
1 bay leaf
1 star anise
a little chilli paste
a pinch cumin
3 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Sweat the onion in a big soup pot in olive oil, and add the cumin and chilli paste. Stir 5 minutes, add the potato and pumpkin and mix well. Fry for 5 minutes. Add the stock, bay leaves, star anise and cloves.
Bring to a boil, and let it simmer on low fire for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the pumpkin is soft.
Take out the cloves, star anise and bay leaf and blend with a hand blender or pass through a sieve or something like that. I sometimes leave the cloves in, which enhances the spiced flavour, but it might be a bit much.
Taste, add salt & pepper if necessary and heat for another 5 minutes.
Serve with fresh bread and sprinkle with green onions and a little cream or creme fraiche.

Re: Soup's on!!
I'll be making this for supper tonight, and thought I'd share
1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 oz butter/margarine
1lb Jerusalem artichokes
2 pints chicken stock
salt and pepper
Single cream
Chopped chives to garnish
Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onions and soften, but do not allow to brown. Add the peeled and sliced Jerusalem artichokes, and gently heat for about 5 mins. Add the stock, cover and bring to the boil. Simmer until the artichokes are tender (about 20 mins). Remove from the heat and puree and season to taste. Reheat to serve, and add a swirl of single cream to each bowl, and sprinkle with chopped chives.

I went out to check on the one hive I have at home, a kTBH, and there's suddenly copious amounts of mustard color dysentery. A lot!! This is a three-year old hive. Although this is a very rainy cool climate, the bees have been foraging on good days and bringing in a lot of pollen for ~3 weeks. Today is sunny, 60F, and windy (15-20mph).
There are no dead and/or crawling bees in front of the hive. Foragers are coming and going. As I watched, I saw 2 bees repeatedly defecating on the landing board and on the front of the hive. There's so much fecal matter that I saw several bees with their wings covered with it, although they themselves were not defecating.
This hive has 4 small semi-circle entrances at the front. They normally use the 2 on the right. Those entrances were so thick with poop that bees coming and going were getting it all over themselves. I closed off those entrances so the bees would use the 'clean' entrances.
What is happening????? I've NEVER seen this before! I've seen poop on the hive and landing board many times, but NOTHING like this!
What should I do????????????????
(They still have a lot of honey stores and are bringing in pollen, various colors. I haven't opened the hive, but there's a window on the side I can see in).

So my friend at work bought a 2005 Honda S2000. He was 'bragging' that he already got pulled over the day after he took ownership. He was driving on the 2 in SoCal somewhere north of the 210 and he was revving it upwards around 6,000RPM so that he "could hear the engine" cuz he likes "the way it sounds."
He looks at me with a smile and says "Do you have any tips on how to NOT get pulled over?"
"Dude. Try not driving like a douche. Drive it like you're just commuting to work. If you don't want tickets, don't drive like a moron - else you are accepting the responsibility of the possibility of a ticket; or worse."
He replies, still with a smile: "But... I don't WANT TO drive it like I'm commuting in it..."
"Then you accept the risk of getting tickets. And honestly, if you're gonna drive recklessly around other people you deserve to get punched in the face. Or do what I did: take to an AutoX. I have to do that every now and then to get it out of my system."
What else would you have me say to my retarded friend so that somebody doesn't get killed? Does this belong in off-topic?

Digital Poverty - Latin American and Caribbean Perspectives
Editors: H. Galperin and J. Mariscal
Publisher: Practical Action Publishing/IDRC
Date: 2007 (ISBN: 978-1-85339-663-2; e-ISBN: 978-1-55250-342-3)
This book deals with the problem of lack of access to ICTs in Latin America and the Caribbean, in addition to the need for ICT policies to focus on pro-poor interventions. The book illustrates how a failure of market reforms has resulted in marginalized areas experiencing a lack of benefits from ICTs, where they are excluded from the Information Society.
Chapter 6 (Selecting sustainable ICT solutions for pro-poor intervention) by Mallalieu and Rocke deals exclusively with an effective model to ensure that communities do not become digitally excluded. The Percolator model is introduced as a framework within which ICT solutions for the poor and marginalized communities can be implemented by means of a 'distillation' process, that can be applied on other technologies if need be.
Chapter 7 (Conclusion: ICT and pro-poor strategies and research) by Mahan provides conclusions in relation to ICT demand and supply side issues, regulatory reform and the private sector, consumer advocacy, new ownership models for network service provision and emerging network technology solutions, focusing specifically on the pro-poor aspects.

Need a Gateway
I have connected to a network wifi of some guy that lives in my building. Although it had key, was not very complicated (very mythical admin). But everything is not going to be "on rose"; I do not brow. I am connected (which does not contribute anything to me), but I cannot access to Internet. I was seeing that I have of IP one of rank 169.254.0.0 (concretely 169.254.197.147, mask 255.255.0.0). Also I have put him a DNS. But I need gateway. I suppose that the problem is that, that my equipment does not know that direction. I have been proving some (169.254.197.1, for example), but do not locate it. There is some form to find gateway without having to be proving the 65000 possibilities? Thank you very much

I need do some radical trimming to my pepper trees. The hives are directly under the trees so I will have to move them (the bees not the trees). As long as I am doing that I also want to re-orientate the hives facing them more southernly. I will also be putting them on an ant proof stand (ala charlie b's design) all of which may take a day or three to accomplish.
I'm looking for advice on the temp relocation and reinstallation of the hives. I don't have a lot or room but think I could move them 10 or 15 feet while doing the work.

text: I have had problems recently with UPS. They will come to my door and drop off packages without knocking or ringing the doorbell. I usually appreciate that they drop off things because I always want my stuff right away and don't want to have to go get it myself or wait until the next day. However, it bothers me that they just drop and run because there are times when someone sends you a gift or what not and you aren't expecting it! I don't know about everyone else but we never use our front door because we come in through the garage. It is entirely possible that a package could sit on my porch for a week before I, or someone else, notices it. I know they drop and run because I can see them through my blinds or I hear something at the door and I go to look. I bring this up because my cousin just posted on Facebook that they had a very expensive $500 valued package delivered today while they were gone. It was just dropped off according to UPS but, alas, it is no where to be found. UPS is claiming that their hands are clean but I worry because my cousin is young and I don't want them to screw her over. Can UPS really say "oh well" if there was no signature? They also called wherever they ordered the item from and they claimed they will do a 10 day driver investigation and if nothing comes up they will overnight a new one. That is promising, at least, but this seems like a huge hole in UPS policy. I worked for a logistics company delivering automobile parts. We were NEVER allowed to just leave something unless we had a very well written contract with the customer that said we had permission to leave parts and then it had to be in a specific place and once dropped we were not responsible. Does this sound like UPS just hoping my cousin wont follow through or is this how it really works?

There's three ways to do everything...the wrong way, the right way, a better way.
That's a pretty sweet idea.... I like it !!!! thanks for the post Steve.
Thanks DC
There's three ways to do everything...the wrong way, the right way, a better way.
Very nice
I set up a few of mine that that way to see how well it would work. it seems like it would be easier to level one piece that level two, the way i had planend on secuting the hives to trees.
I had planned on essentially nailing 2x4s to the bth sides of the trunck so they stick out like arms. i'd then set the trap on them and secure with 550 cord.
My only concern has to do with the stength of the wood. I plan to have semi-foundationless frames in my swarm traps. As such, they need to be pretty level in the "long" direction to avoid buggered up comb formation. With this Frenchie cleat arrangement, that puts the box sticking out from the tree lengthwise. if i don't get around to checking no the swarm for a month, they might well have that thing fillied with comb and getting heavier every day. I worry that the wood may come apart at the cleat. I don't have enough wood working experience to have that gut feeling to say "yeah that will hold."
I may forge a couple of similar cleats out of steel. i really think this is a better/easier way to hang these things than my original two armed plan.
EDIT: I just realized that this may make no sense whatsoever! I am using 10-frame deeps for swarm traps. this is why i have concerns about weight. My intention is to simply move the captured swarp to the apiary and start adding supers as needed. No need to transfer frames this way, but i run the risk of having wonky frames if i don;t have the swarm trap ratehr close to level
Last edited by KPeacock; 03-14-2013 at 07:27 PM. Reason: add clarity
Steve, I think it is a piece of genius. I think it should be easy enough to level up the cleat as you're fixing it.
Great Steve
I will save on wood and time, MERCI
I did something similar for my top bar hives. This is the first one I made.
The small piece attaches to the hive and the larger part attaches to the tree. I was going to go with 1x6, but I could only get 5/4x6 in pressure treated, and it was more expensive than 2x6. I figure with the 2x6 the screws will pull out of the tree before the wood breaks. I've modified it a bit in production, that one was made from a piece of scrap I had laying in the garage. I now make the small side piece a little bigger. Yes, I could have just used one piece of wood with two cuts and mounted the center section to the tree and then put two pieces on the hive, but this design make is harder for me to screw up. Also my hives are a bit heavy and to me this way seemed stronger. That doesn't mean that it is stronger, it just makes me feel better about it.
Here is the hive attached to the tree.
I tried to get the mount attached to the tree as plum as possible, but I found that if I use a little twig or branch I could shim it up or down a little. I don't plan on leaving them up for more than a few days if they have a swarm, but some are a bit far from my home. The length of hive is about 17.5 inches, so it is about the same as a lang.
Here is the finished mounted bait hive. The complex angle pulls it in tight and was a breeze to make with the chop saw. I will probably need to use a mallet to remove the hive after it has been setting for a while.
Steve, I liked the idea so much I came home after works and made a few and hung a trap works like a champ thanks for sharing
Yea KPeacock, i don't think i would trust this with 10 frame box either.
There's three ways to do everything...the wrong way, the right way, a better way.
boy shannon, that looks heavy, hope it holds.
There's three ways to do everything...the wrong way, the right way, a better way.
The mount is pretty dog gone strong. I would say I could do a chin-up on it, but that would mean that I could do a chin-up. The weakest point is probably the mount to the hive itself, and I'm pretty sure I have enough hardware there to keep it in place.
Seems like an easy, simple way to attach the box. How resistant is the attachment point to a wind gust?
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
With the french cleat you may want to use a piece of string to keep it from raising, but it would take a lot of straight-line wind to get it to raise. Remember, if you push from the back the hive has to lift for it to come loose. With the double angled cleat it would take an F1 tornado to take it out. You would break the attachment to the hive before a wind gust would lift it out. I was thinking that at the end of the season I may stick a plastic bag in one and fill it with water to see if it fails.
and the amount of weight that it will hold up. If it is made out of good wood and assembled with Titebond II or III glue and either
nailed/stapeled or screwed together one might would be amazed at how much weight it would hold up. The weak point most likely would be the attachement to the tree or post or ????
Here's where I got the idea.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53Upi0GUwVw

Documents: Accused bride wanted 'cops out of it'
MISSOULA, Mont. - New court documents detail the case federal prosecutors are building against a bride accused of pushing her husband to his death in Montana eight days after their wedding.
A magistrate judge unsealed the documents Wednesday over prosecutors' objections. Three search warrants obtained by investigators, looking at 22-year-old Jordan Linn Graham's facebook, twitter and email accounts.
They say a friend told investigators that Graham went to Glacier National Park in July to find Cody Johnson's body so the search would be called off "and the cops out of it."
They also describe an email from a person named "Tony" that said Johnson had fallen to his death and called for an end to the search. Investigators say the message was sent from an account using a computer registered to Graham's father.
Graham has pleaded not guilty to murder and making a false statement.
A trial is scheduled for December.

Steve Jobs did a phenomenal piece of work. Apple, most people would have expected, were on their way going out of business. He had run Apple since it was a tiny company and then he came back in and made incredibly valuable. It's a phenomenal business story and I thought Walter Isaacson did a good job catching that in the book. Steve and I were friends, competitors – we were a lot of different things. It was amazing what he did.
I'm now committed full time to my foundation work and I give about 15% of my time as Chairman of Microsoft. Microsoft is moving ahead with Windows 8 that combines the best of tablet with PC. This month the very first hardware based on that idea including Microsoft's own Surface will ship. So there's a lot of exciting stuff ahead in software and I didn't retire from Microsoft because I thought things were getting boring. In fact a lot of best ideas- the vision of artificial intelligence and robots are still ahead but i did decide the philanthropic world was where my contribution would be more unique and so thats what I'll work on full time for the rest of my life.

Some people will be disappointed that Mr. Gates is resisting a comeback.
II. Steve Ballmer: Microsoft is Strong
But Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is convinced no comeback is necessary. He insists that the image that Microsoft lacks creativity is badly out of date. In
a letter to shareholders
, he brags that 1.3 billion people worldwide use Windows and that there are 8 million active Windows app developers.
The boisterous chief executive is bullish on
Windows 8 tablets
Windows Phone 8
, bringing a unified Windows experience across mobile and traditional computing devices.
Microsoft has
, particularly when it
comes to Windows 8
. But as Mr. Ballmer puts it:
For fiscal year 2012, revenue grew to a record $73.7 billion. We also maintained strong cost discipline resulting in cash flow from operations of $31.6 billion, an increase of 17 percent from the prior year. In addition, we returned $10.7 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends.
In other words financially Microsoft shows little sign of being a "dying" brand as some opinion pieces have claims.
Windows 8 is a huge risk. But Steve Ballmer is convinced it will pay off, even as Bill Gates watches -- permanently -- from the sidelines.

Samsung's Pixon 12 is a great camera phone but lacks in a few other areas. If you're purely after a camera phone then this will do the job, but if you're looking for more of an all-round smartphone, the Pixon 12 fails to deliver.
Described by Samsung as the "world's first 12.1 megapixel camera phone," the Pixon 12 mobile phone was actually beaten in Australia by the launch of the Sony Ericsson Satio. Still not officially released in Australia, the Pixon 12 combines an excellent camera with Samsung's TouchWIZ user interface, but potential buyers may be disappointed that this isn't a smartphone.
The Samsung Pixon 12 actually looks more like a camera than a mobile phone. The rear features a bulging lens with a mechanical lens cover (similar to many dedicated digital cameras) and a Xenon flash. When viewed from the back, the Pixon 12 doesn't look like a mobile phone at all. With this in mind, it's not the most attractive mobile we've reviewed, though it feels sturdy and the metal battery cover is a nice touch. The Pixon 12's design means it feels great when holding it as a camera, and we loved the raised leather grip on the rear — it's a comfortable place for your finger to rest when taking snapshots.
Disappointingly, the Samsung Pixon 12 mobile phone has a resistive touch screen rather than a capacitive one. Nonetheless the AMOLED display is one of the best resistive screens we've used — it's sharp, bright and responsive to touches. Below the display sits a round button that accesses the main menu, and physical answer and end call keys are also present.
The phone's camera boasts a 12-megapixel sensor, a Xenon flash and a wide-angle lens. It also has a "smart auto" setting that automatically selects the scene, mode and settings for the best snapshot. Other features include smile shot, panorama mode and the ability to geotag your photos. We were very impressed with the photos we took; the camera offers excellent colour reproduction and minimal image noise. Detail levels are very impressive for a camera phone and the macro mode in particular produced a sharp focus.
The Pixon 12's Xenon flash works very well in low-light conditions, though it struggles a little in overly dark areas — we found it overexposed light areas in shots. The flash also took a little time to be ready for the next shot, so if you're looking to take two or three photos in quick succession you may become frustrated. The camera doubles as a video recorder and an LED light is included alongside the Xenon flash for this purpose. Video quality is average for a mobile phone and we found it difficult to record smooth footage — its hard to keep a steady hand while moving the phone and filming. There is also no quick way to switch from still shots to video recording — we would have liked a physical key or switch of some description for this function.
The Samsung Pixon 12's camera doesn't feature optical zoom, but it has digital zoom buttons (wide angle and telephoto), a shutter key and a dedicated camera button (which instantly launches the camera application and opens the lens shutter regardless of what part of the Pixon 12's menu you are in). The camera application is zippy and largely free of lag.
The Samsung Pixon 12 mobile phone runs Samsung's proprietary OS and features the TouchWIZ UI, which is also used on the Icon range. The TouchWIZ interface uses a three-page home screen and has a big focus on widgets. A row of widgets sits on the left edge of each screen. To use one you simply drag an icon from the panel to the main area. Each of the three home screen pages is customisable and you can add any widget onto any page. Unfortunately, the widgets' functions aren't labelled in the sidebar, so it's hard to work out what they do without adding them to the screen. The Pixon 12 lacks social-networking apps — the included Facebook, YouTube and MySpace widgets are merely links to the Web page of each service.
You can unlock the Pixon 12 mobile phone by drawing a letter of the alphabet on the screen (Samsung's "smart unlock" feature). You can use different letters to launch apps as the phone unlocks including messaging, music and the Web browser.
We used the Samsung Pixon 12 for several days and were impressed with the speed and responsiveness of its UI. There was no evident lag, applications open and closed swiftly and messaging is also responsive. Samsung offers both a numeric keypad with T9 predictive text input and a full QWERTY keyboard when the Pixon 12 is tilted sideways. The touch-screen keyboard feels a little sluggish compared to the iPhone's, but it's user friendly once you get used to the layout.
The Samsung Pixon 12 mobile phone is marketed mainly on the basis of its imaging credentials but the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack is still very disappointing. Thankfully, Samsung includes an adapter in the sales package that lets you use standard headphones. The Pixon 12 supports DivX playback, has an FM radio and boasts a handy music recognition application, similar to the iPhone app Shazam and Sony Ericsson's TrackID service.
The Pixon 12 supports Microsoft ActiveSync and features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB connectivity through a standard micro-USB port. For mobile Internet, the Pixon 12's Web browser uses tabbed browsing, loads pages without any issue and is quite responsive, though it doesn't compare to iPhone's excellent Safari browser. Samsung ships the Pixon 12 with a 2GB microSD card.
Australian online store MobiCity is currently selling the Samsung Pixon 12.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Patriots will have new volleyball lineup
The Pequot Lakes volleyball team will be rebuilding after losing nine players from last season when the team finished 4-1 in the Mid-State Conference and 21-6-1 overall.
"We lost seven players to graduation to two more (senior Kayla Miller and sophomore Brittny Bzdok) to ACL injuries," said Pequot Lakes coach Kate Dale. "So this will be a rebuilding year."
The Patriots did gain back a former player in senior Vanessa Lane, who played volleyball before switching to cross country running last fall.
"Vanessa will help fill the void in the middle," Dale said. "The girls are working hard in practice and are competing for spots on varsity. That has led to some competitive practices in the preseason."
Letterwinners include seniors Ashley Abear, Katie White, Jessica Nies and Justyne Litzau; and sophomore Morgan Lohmiller.
Other who could contribute are juniors Brianna Anick, Emilee Buell, Sam Olmscheid, Mariah Reed, Kelsey Hart, Debbie Mitchel, Kristy Peterson and Whitney Marchwick; sophomores Laura Squires, Caitlyn Carkhuff, Barb Miller, Amanda Nies and Josie Florell; and freshman Sam Littman.
Assistant coaches are Mike Bacjzk, Kathy Allen, Jenna Crawford and Chris Ganley.
Last season, the Patriots were defeated by Thief River Falls in the Section 8AA championship match.


text: I hadn't thought of that possibility, but now that you've raised the idea I think it's a great suggestion. My personal opinion of the World Team Trophy is that it is a useless competition, but if it could be used strategically to qualify some skaters for next year's Grand Prix series perhaps it would serve some actual purpose. It's not out of the question that Paul/Islam could achieve a top-24 personal best. Right now the cutoff for top 24 total score is about 135 points. It may go up a bit based on 4CC, Europeans and World Juniors, but probably not too much. (Last year the cutoff was 131 points at the end of the season, so I really don't expect the cutoff to go up past the upper 130's this season). Paul/Islam's scores at Nebelhorn and Salt Lake City were 137.92 and 143.76. If they were to score something similar at the World Team Trophy, that would likely be enough to make top-24. Yes, I know that the scores at Nebelhorn and Salt Lake City were likely a bit inflated compared to a true ISU international competition like the World Team Trophy, but on the other hand P/I's Nebelhorn and Salt Lake City scores were early-season scores. They have improved since then, so I think the stricter judging at a true ISU international would be more than compensated by their improvement since the early season.
