Growing capers in Italy
Growing capers in Italy is probably the easiest thing on earth. Wild capers grow and flower profusely on old castles or town walls.
Outside my Italian cottage we have two large bushes carrying a summer wig of white flowers. Or to be quite honest, I have only experienced the profusion of flowers once, as every spring my neighbour, the Contadina, demonstratively rips off each and every one of the delicate flowers with their long purplish-pink stamens and throws them on the ground.
– If the bush flowers, it will not produce berries, and capers are great taste givers. Who needs flowers anyway, she says with determination. My objections that these flowers look quite pretty, are answered with a 'bo' which is Apulian for 'beh' meaning 'I don't know and I couldn't care less'.
Since then she has consequently deflowered by bushes very early every morning, unless I make sure to get to the flowers first. She also likes to pick the berries, which is one of the tasks one cannot leave to a straniera, though she has started to trust me, after she developed a strange kind of capers allergy on her hands, and had to dress each finger in tissue paper and cellotape. Now I am allowed to harvest my own capers under her strict supervision.
– Remember only to pick the large buds. The small ones absorb too much salt. Mangia sale, she says, and normally I listen and do as I'm told. After all, she has almost 80 years experience in preserving capers, and she has kindly shown me how the flower buds should be nipped and cleaned, before they are placed in sterilized jars and covered in layers of salt and water.
When the bright green buds change colour the capers are ready to eat, and with two old bushes you – and your extended family – will never run out of this kind of food seasoning and garnish. Each summer produces 10-15 jam jars full of capers, which is more than most Scandinavian families consume in a life-time.
In addition I am still allowed to enjoy the sight and smell of the vaguely fragrant flowers every time I pass by old Italian castles or town walls. Caper bushes grow in the most incredible places, but seem to have a preference for ancient stones and archeological sites. You see it climbing the walls of the Colosseum and Forum Romanum, it can be found among the ruins of Pompeii and in column crevices in Pestum and Agrigento.
The only place you will not find capers are in South Italian supermarket and grocery stores. Massive free supplies are available to all locals, and lazy housewives stock up at the olive pusher in the weekly market. He does not, however, sell the big caperberries that I have only ever come across in northern European specialty shops. Therefore I have tried to convince the Contadina that we might leave some flowers on the bush and watch them become berries, but this idea will definitely not take root and grow in her (or her neighbour's) garden.

Bison Gores 72-Year-Old Woman Multiple Times in Yellowstone
A bison gored a 72-year-old woman multiple times in Yellowstone National Park after she got too close to it.
According to a news release from the National Park Service, the incident occurred the evening of June 25 at the Bridge Bay Campground, when the woman continually went within 10 feet of a bison to take its picture.
The animal then charged, leaving the woman with multiple goring wounds. Rangers provided on-site care before transporting her to a nearby hospital via helicopter.
"The series of events that led to the goring suggest the bison was threatened by being repeatedly approached to within 10 feet," said Yellowstone's Senior Bison Biologist Chris Geremia in the release. "Bison are wild animals that respond to threats by displaying aggressive behaviors like pawing the ground, snorting, bobbing their head, bellowing, and raising their tail. If that doesn't make the threat...move away, a threatened bison may charge."
Geremia recommends staying at least 25 yards away from bison. If charged, run away or find cover.
Aside from bison, the release said that the 25-yard-rule also applies to elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and coyotes. For bears and wolves, stay at least 100 yards away.

You just need a reminder of how hot you really are. Not only a compliment, but a…memo of sorts. Well, you should already know that B.B.W. has got you, gorgeous.
Below are three instances of bigger women being f***ing smoking. (Well, four instances, if you count the cover pic.) Let this jog your memory, so you can remember how beautiful you can be…and how beautiful you are now.

'Sharknado 2: The Second One' To Trend On Twitter One Day In July
Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are packing up their chainsaws and heading to Manhattan for Sharknado 2: The Second One, which will trend on Twitter some as-yet-unspecified day in July, Syfy warned today. Not only are Ziering and Reid back, Anthony Ferrante again will direct the screenplay by Thunder Levin, who also wrote Sharknado, so as to make sure the sequel is as craptastic as the original. And Syfy and producer-distributor The Asylum have hired casting director Mike Fenton and his partner Ann Frederick, of Fenton-Frederick Casting, to supervise cameo casting. So, Damon Lindelof, Mia Farrow, and Greg Berlanti — get in touch with them quickly, because shooting begins next month. In Sharknado 2, Syfy says, "a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a 'sharknado' on the city's population and its most iconic sites, with Fin and April the only ones able to save the city."

Andrew Yip, Ph.D., lead author of a new report, Religion, Youth and Sexuality, a multi-faith study by sociologists from Nottingham and Nottingham Trent universities, in England, says that young people are finding it difficult to reconcile their religion with their sexuality. Nearly 700 students ages 18 through 25 were interviewed. More than 72 percent of them practice six different traditions: Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism or a mixed faith.
The study found that most feel that their religion is a positive force in their lives, but that religious leaders are out of touch with issues of sexuality. "There are young people that are finding it enormously difficult to combine their religion with their sexuality, especially if they are lesbian or gay," says Sarah-Jane Page, Ph.D., a colleague of Yip.
Almost a third of the young adults interviewed believe that celibacy is fulfilling, with the percentage of men leading that of women. More than 83 percent support the idea of monogamous relationships, with slightly more women than men valuing it, according to Yip.

Families are encouraged to bring children to our parish from the earliest times in their lives!
Through celebration of the sacraments and participation in a faith learning community, we invite children of all ages into the active life of the parish. We invite new parents to reach out prior to the birth of your baby or soon after the birth to inquire about baptism, the sacrament by which a person becomes part of God's Church family.
New parents are asked to take a one-hour baptism preparation course prior to your first child's baptism. Contact the office at 978-369-7442 to schedule a baptism and to register for the class. (They are held on the first Thursday of alternating months - Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec.) As your child grows preparation and reception of the sacraments of first reconciliation, first communion and, eventually, confirmation, are woven into our K-10 religious education program.
At Holy Family Parish, we believe faith formation is an ongoing process meant to draw us into closer relationship with Christ and the Church. Faith formation is much broader than simply "instructing in the faith;" rather it is the term that embodies the curriculum of the whole Church, including community, liturgy, proclamation, and teaching. Recognizing that parents are the first and best educators of their children in matters of faith, program is meant to strengthen and build upon the faith formation that occurs within families.

Have you ever noticed but the world is basically divided into 2 types of people? – those who love dogs and those who love cats. It seems like almost everyone falls into one of these categories. In and of itself this isn't such a bad thing but where it gets weird is the fact that these group don't get along at all. There is an enmity between them and crossing such a divide is an act of betrayal. And so, as a result, relationships between dog-lovers and cat-lovers almost always end in disaster.
We have a dog at home. I don't really love it. It's not that it is bad but it doesn't know how to leave me alone. As soon as I open the door he is there with a tennis ball wanting to play. He drops the ball in the washing basket when I try to hang clothes on the line. He gets in my way when I'm walking, then he'll lie across the doorway and not move. It's not that I don't like the dog but I just want to be left alone. In short, I don't think I'm a dog person.
Before too many people hate me, I should add that I'm not a cat person either. Cats tend to be too solitary. They seem to be interested primarily in themselves. Of course they do come up to their owners but it's normally when they are hungry. At least this was the case with my Grandfather's cats. The only time we could pat them was when they were hungry. The rest of the time they spent together.
What's this got to do with Christianity?
Christian 'Dog People'
Well Christian 'dog people' are very social. They love being around people especially those who aren't followers of Jesus. I once heard a conference speaker say that they disliked being around fellow Christians and only wanted to hang out with those who didn't know Jesus. This is dog language. They love to share Jesus.
This is a good thing but not when it is taken to an extreme. Jesus has called his followers to share their faith with others but the context is among a community of faith. The mistake that dog people may make is that the sharing of their faith replaces their need for Christian relationships. Taken to the extreme they see themselves as an isolated beacon of Jesus.
Christian 'Cat People
Christian 'cat people' are also social. They like to hang out with others but for them it is fellow Christians. Historically at times this has caused them to isolate themselves from the 'outside world'.
Cat people aren't opposed to sharing their faith but it isn't really their priority. At a conference once I heard a speaker challenging others to try to come up with 10 friends who didn't follow Jesus – many struggled. For cat people Christianity is all about finding deep relationships that help their faith grow. The problem is obvious. They rightly value the Christian community but do so at the expense of sharing their faith.
Finding a Balance
Just like the way dog people and cat people don't get along, Christian dog people and cat people don't either. The values are too different. And both have faults in that they neglect an essential aspect of Christian faith. What the church needs are people who love both cats and dogs. We need to develop a culture which values both sharing Jesus and relationships with each other.
This isn't an easy thing to do but it was the way of Jesus. The gospels are full of accounts where he is acting for those who don't follow him. This may be teaching or healing but the emphasis is his call to follow him. Equally, there are plenty of accounts where he is spending time with his disciples explaining things and sharing life together. Jesus managed to be both a dog and cat person in a way that placed value on both of these aspects of our faith.

Article in Sunday's Boston Globe ... first page ... demonstrating high powered PR team at least.
Disneyland!? My future daughter-in-law once described Waterville Valley that way. Remnants of the gilded age were fun while they lasted. Sadly, it would represent a human zoo replacing what once was, for us on a few rare occasions, an opportunity to relax in a genteel and peaceful way in the midst of nature's wonders. Well, at least the opportunities at the other realm remain ... a rustic rest under the open heavens anchored by a privvy at one end and a source to filter water at the other!

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to posting today! Today, not only did I get to deal with Headache: Day 3, Rise of the Meds, but my husband even stayed home from work because he had a screaming headache, too. He's been a headache/migraine sufferer his whole life, but for me it's been mostly in just the last year or so. His are sinus related and he thinks mine are too, but I rather suspect mine are related to something else. I'm thinking grains and/or sugars, because I haven't been as obedient to my diet in about the same amount of time that I've been struggling with headaches. It's a process of elimination, I suppose.
But tomorrow, no headache! Right?! Right. *fingerscrossed*
Turns out one of the reasons I've been having so many email problems lately is because Outlook has been doing some re-tooling. I got this email today: "Earlier this year we introduced the new Outlook.com, which helps you focus on what matters, collaborate effortlessly, and get more done. As part of the Outlook.com upgrade, we have moved your account to a more secure and reliable infrastructure."
You know, Outlook, I think I would have appreciated a heads-up on this one, BEFORE you started messing around with things. It's kind of like yelling "FORE!" at a golf course after the ball has beaned somebody in the head. *eyeroll*
So, slowly but surely getting the email headaches dealt with.
Of course, you know my place is an outright disaster, right? *sigh*
Okay, more meds just one more time – boy do pills just knock me flat now. I really hate the zombie response, and I hold off taking them as long as I can, but when the pain is bad enough, I'll give in. Tomorrow I will catch up on comments and all the other blogging fun that I've missed these past few days.
Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. 🙂 *hugs*

Virtual software systems, also known as 'application virtualization' technologies, allow users to run numerous programs that aren't installed on their devices by installing a single piece of client software (Citrix Receiver / Workspace), and using it to connect to a central server on which the programs actually run. This enables Android, iOS or Mac users to easily access software that is only written for Windows, for example. Lehigh now uses Citrix for this, and has a customized implementation called 'LUapps'.
The previous implementation, commonly referred to as the 'virtual public site', which was accessed through software known as the VMware Horizon client, has been replaced by LUapps and is no longer available.
Once connected to the LUapps storefront, users see a menu of programs they can run virtually on their devices. The programs on the system default to using network storage for opening and saving files, and within the virtual environment, the storage options can become complex. Users will need to become familiar with finding and using these options.
Note: to use Citrix, devices must be connected to the Lehigh network, either directly, with an Ethernet cable, or through the Lehigh secure wireless service, or remotely via the VPN from off-campus.
LTS welcomes your feedback on the our Virtual Software systems: https://go.lehigh.edu/vsfeedback

In 2013, a user called FKA twigs uploaded a series of videos, entitled EP1, to YouTube. Eerie and exhilarating at the same time, they started to rack up views overnight. About a year before, she had appeared on the cover of i-D magazine, baby hairs arranged in the word 'love' on her forehead. FKA twigs emerged as a kind of otherworldly creature, a genre-bending musician with little regard for convention.
She hasn't put out an album since the critically acclaimed 'LP1' in 2014. twigs often cuts a curious figure - at once intensely vulnerable and incredibly private. This push and pull is evident on 'Magdalene', her second studio album which, as twigs says herself, is her at her most personal: "I think this album feels like me," she says.
"I'm proud of the album not just for the way that it sounds, but also that I finished it," she adds. "It was a big period of growth for me, just being able to complete something that I cared so much about - I definitely had moments where I was wondering, can I finish it?"
'Magdalene' comes out of a period of turmoil for twigs, including public heartbreak and health problems that complicated her work (on Instagram, she posted about fibroid tumours that had to be removed, calling them a "fruit bowl of pain"). But twigs doesn't believe that's the whole story.
"It's difficult, because the narrative is one of growth, and I think people are almost more interested in the tragic, fallen heroine, but that's not at all my truth," she urges. "I've actually gotten a lot of joy out of this - it's been amazing, training and finding strength, in so many different ways. The journey was really beautiful, and I was really gentle with myself."
Born Tahliah Debrett Barnett, twigs moved to London from Gloucestershire when she was 17, working primarily as a background dancer. She knew she wanted to get into music, and started to find ways to record and write while working in bars, as a youth worker, and dancing (the name twigs came from the sound of her joints when she cracked them). In the years since 'LP1', she's taken on a role as a creative director for Nike, danced in an advert for HomePod with Spike Jonze, worked with A$AP Rocky ('Fukk Sleep', which she also directed the music video for), and put out the 'M3LL155X EP' in 2015. twigs has never stopped fully making music, even if it's been three years since her last solo release, 'Good Time', in 2016. She never really stops moving. "I wrote some of my last album 10 years ago, and I should hope I'm making different choices in every aspect - my personal life, my work life and everything in between," she admits.
"It's about growing and changing, and finding who you are. I'm always making music," she continues. "I used to actually record things on my phone, bring it into the studio and import it into Ableton, but this record has been quite different. Yeah, there are some really big industrial sounds, because obviously, those are my fave, but this is more focused on how I can manipulate acoustic instruments and it really inspired a new way of writing. I also managed to write every song in the same notebook, which has been really precious to me."
"I usually start with beats and drums whereas this time, I really fell in love with the piano," twigs explains. "I play everything very badly, one note at a time - I'm a horrible musician - but I kind of muddle through and make it work." Anyone who has seen twigs perform live is unlikely to believe that she muddles through anything. Her performance of 'Magdalene' - which debuted in select cities around the US in May of this year - is a dazzling live show, spanning piano ballads, dance breaks, pole dancing, and wushu, a kind of Chinese swordplay that twigs picked up. "I love learning," she smiles. "These skills are not really for the album, they're just tools that I can use within my craft. The dream is that they keep on developing, and I keep working and improving, and adding more range and colours to my palette. Picking up pole and wushu were things I never thought about two or three years ago."
twigs' work often lives within its own world - her visual output is as compelling and unusual as her music, often taking place in alternate universes (twigs on a throne in the ritualistic video for 'Two Weeks', or leading a cult in 'holy terrain'). In the music video for 'Cellophane', released in March, twigs dances on a pole in a bronze, otherworldly dimension, flipping and contorting as the song builds into a desperate plea ("Didn't I do it for you? / Why don't I do it for you?"). While twigs seems to emerge as a lone figure often - on stage, in music videos - she emphasises that collaboration is crucial to her practice.
"When it's my own stuff, I tend to micromanage a lot of things. It's difficult because I'm wildly focused and independent, but when it's the right people, I love working with these amazing people and it becomes fun; it becomes this little collective," she says. "But I'm lucky, I have a lot of friends that I work very closely with, and we all just really inspire each other. We can go to a gallery, or a weird sort of vintage antique fair, and start collecting things, like books, or clothes, or ribbons, and we'll create a little world for ourselves."
On 'Magdalene', she's worked closely with Nicholas Jaar, the electronic artist, as well as a roster of other producers like Jack Antonoff, Daniel Lopatin and Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never). "Everyone really tapped into what I was going through," she enthuses, "and it just shows how sensitive they were, to take something that was really personal and fragile."
In a video for WeTransfer, behind the scenes of 'Cellophane', she likens her training to an athlete's regimen. "It's important to me to never rest, to always keep striving for something more," she professes. "I'll do up to six hours training - two hours pole, two hours wushu - and I'll do that until two, and then I'll go into the studio and make some music."
twigs often gets painted as an intensely serious workaholic, someone whose commitment to their craft is all-encompassing. She wonders whether it's because she's a female artist. "I'm a woman, and I make my own art, and that's just me having agency over my skills, my voice, and I just want to make things the way that I want to make them. I get one life," she says. "Why would I not want things to be the way that I see them to be, the way that I feel them to be? If I'm in front of thousands of people, listening to me and looking at me, I'd rather be telling the truth. That's the bare minimum of what I should be able to do as an artist."
'Magdalene' pulses with a potent mix of tenderness, intimacy and defiance, with twigs flitting between multiple kinds of music on each track. An album of stripped-back piano ditties this is not. Monastic chanting and feature heavily, as do big, brooding beats. twigs' voice is the most versatile instrument - it soars on 'mirrored heart' (the closest thing to a traditional ballad on 'Magdalene'), whispers on 'holy terrain', a sexy trap banger which features Future, and snarls on the quasi-punk 'fallen alien', over a stuttering beat.
Her lyrics combine the surreal and the sensual - like on 'mary magdalene', the near-title track, where she sings, "I do it like Mary Magdalene / I want your desire," or on 'day bed': "Careful are my footsteps / Possessive is my day bed." twigs has often rejected genre labels, and with her output, it's easy to understand why: on 'Magdalene', there are shades of deconstructed club music on 'home with you', trip-hop and techno on 'sad day', medieval hymns on 'thousand eyes'.
twigs will embark on a tour for 'Magdalene' soon, and the weeks leading up to it have been very intense. "Before the show, I always have a wobble," twigs confesses. "As soon as I start singing, everything is fine." Yet, she says she loves touring and can't wait to get back on that bus - literally: "I love falling asleep on the bus and waking up somewhere else!" she laughs.
"It's like a proper little family; we're all just living together, moving together… I can't wait to just go and giggle with everyone on the tour, it's just so fun. I love finding new places to train and meeting new people. I'd love to go back to New Orleans - I didn't feel like I finished exploring it."
In the meantime, though, with her new album [at time of writing] less than a month away, how is twigs feeling?
"Is it weird if I say I don't really think about it?" she answers with a laugh. "At this point, I've just concentrated on the truth and telling my story, in the most vulnerable and solid way possible. When you do all these interviews, things seem much more serious, but I just get on with it. It doesn't belong to me anymore; it belongs to you."

Ace Routine- The aces re-appear in the strangest places. And, even when they're tossed into separate parts of the deck, they instantly show up on top. Then, one ace turns face-down to match the suit of a chosen card, a moment later it is the chosen card, and the other aces change to match it.

text: Happy new year 2010. The thought for today's blog came from my experience standing in a queue of a fairly well respected retail chain in India. The queues were long and the number of check out counters were minimal as usual ;=) ( I think a lesson in queuing theory is warranted for all retail chain outlets I think ;=) ), anyways, the line moves on and suddenly stops .. I enquire and they say that there is a system problem, I nod my head and wait on, after some time its my turn at the check out counter and the sales clerk gets a phone call ( presumably from a friend as she was smiling and talking) while I the customer was waiting … finally I got my goods paid for and went up and met the store manager who was standing there and indicated as to why he did not open more counters that was the wrong thing to do I presume as he started moaning about the workers he had and about his manager and that nobody pays attention etc etc etc and I quickly exited from the store. That got me thinking how many of us encourage our teams to come to us with solutions and not problems ? It is incredibly easy and fun to moan about management or about your boss or about the work environment etc and I think it becomes a habit … we cannot stop people from moaning but we can insist that they come up with solutions for the causes of the moaning ….. The Iron Lady of England Margaret Thatcher had said " Bring Me Solutions, Not Problems" … do we do that ? if we do that, do we lose our "value" in the organization ? These are thoughts I am sure some of us would have …. Teaching our teams to approach us with solutions rather than problems is a sure fire way of inculcating planning, foresight and lateral thinking traits, it is also a sure fire way to build up the power of ideation in the team and build a good, effective team. One of my managers used to ask me not to come with the problem but share only the solution and she would try to align and brainstorm on the problem and it soon became almost like a game with the senior leadership team. Asking for solutions than problems also helps the time constrained manager focus on the positives of the job ( exploring solutions) than the troubles ( problems) around the job. take a look around, there are enough problems, why do we need more ? We need to let go of the trouble shooter image and instead allow the monkey to rest on the team's shoulders. Happy new year and happy solution finding ….;=)

Victory for Bishop in Ely Laser Open
PUBLISHED: 11:04 20 May 2013 | UPDATED: 11:04 20 May 2013
ELY Sailing Club hosted its annual Laser Open on Saturday, with 10 sailors rigging their boats to take part.
The sailors competed in three races on the day and were allowed one discard so the combined score of their two best races counted.
The first race lasted little more than an hour with good competition throughout the fleet. The lead from start to finish was held by Alan Bishop from Girton Sailing Club with the second to forth places changing lap by lap. Jack Knight (Ely Sailing Club) held second until being overhauled in the last few meters by Hannah Wilcox (Ely Sailing Club) taking second place from Martin Sterling (Ely Sailing Club) in third with Jack finishing forth.
The second and third races where sailed after lunch and were sailed back to back to make the most of the wind. The second race was sailed in lighter but shiftier wind than the first.
After the first lap the race was led by Alayne Seymour (Ely Sailing Club) however, approaching the finish she was overtaken by Sterling who took the win followed by Knight and Alan Bishop with Alayne finishing forth.
For the final race of the day the wind had increased in strength but was still shifty. Knight led at the start followed by Sterling and Bishop. The lead changed several times but at the end of the second lap the leaders held the same positions.
The final lap was again closely fought with Jack holding the lead until only meters from the line when Bishop caught a handy lift to move from third to first place. Sterling also got the same lift and sailed past Jack with the unlucky Jack finishing in third.
Prizes were presented by Kevin Bilham and Christine Levett.

I've only played the Game Boy Advance versions of the Advance Wars series, but from what I hear, they just keep getting better. Days of Ruin, the latest installment, is supposed to be no exception, though it's a break from the light, cartoony style of its predecessors. The darker art style and more mature plot might help people understand that this is, indeed, a very deep strategy game. The series is also very fun, but hard as hell.

Due to high order volumes, we are about one week behind on shipments. Thanks for your patience!
Regular price
Cucurbita maxima
Origin: Ollantaytambo, Peru
Improvement status: Landrace
Seeds per packet: ~12
Life cycle: Annual
EFN INTRODUCTION. This is a mysterious landrace squash from Ollantaytambo in Peru's Sacred Valley. We don't know its original name, so we have dubbed it 'Sacred Valley.' The fruit on this squash are rather enormous. We have only grown it once, but it produced so many seeds we simply can't resist offering it to you so we can find out how much diversity exists in this population. The few plants we grew produced thick-walled, tasty, very warty dark green squash, and thick-walled, tasty, subtly warty pale green squash. The parent plant was reportedly smooth-skinned, but also large. The seeds are quite large too — though the ones we grew had rather thin kernels inside. We expect this will not always be the case, and are quite eager to see photos of the plants you grow this year! From our experience growing it in upstate New York, it is a relatively fast-growing, fast-maturing squash with some cold hardiness. The flowers and growing tips are also tasty.
GROWING TIPS: Direct seed in May or early June, or transplant in healthy plant starts around this time. Plants should end up 30-36 inches apart in rows 5-6 feet apart.

Microsoft Surface Pro X Review: Powerful Computer, but So-So Tablet
When Apple unveiled the iPad in 2010, Steve Jobs presented the tablet as a third device that we could carry along with a computer and smartphone.
Years later, Microsoft responded with a radically different approach: It designed its Windows operating system to work on personal computers and tablets at the same time so that we could have both devices in one product.
Microsoft's vision of a two-in-one tablet PC has now crystallized with the $1,000 Surface Pro X, which arrives in stores this week.
The 13-inch tablet attaches to a keyboard to convert into a laptop. It is Microsoft's latest Surface to include a so-called ARM processor, a type of power-efficient chip used in many mobile devices, enabling apps to open more quickly and the battery to last longer. It also includes cellular connectivity to work with data plans offered by carriers like Verizon and AT&T.
The result is Microsoft's first tablet PC with the thinness, quietness, elongated battery life, snappy speeds and wireless capabilities of a smartphone or tablet. That's unlike past Surface products that felt more like PCs with touch screens. So it's progress.
Yet after testing the Surface Pro X for several days, it did not feel fully baked — especially as a tablet.
There are many aspects of Windows that still feel uncomfortable to use with touch controls. Some important apps that people rely on for work have also not yet been programmed to work for this ARM-based computer, which could stifle productivity.
I found this out by locking my laptop in my office desk drawer and relying on the Surface Pro X as my main computing device for several days while also testing Apple's iPad Pro, the product's main rival.
In the end, I probably wouldn't replace my laptop with either device, for different reasons. Here's why.
Surface Pro's pros and cons
The Surface Pro X is an elegant, well-designed product with highs and lows.
Let's start with the positives. For one, battery life is excellent: Microsoft promises 13 hours of battery life, and I used the Surface Pro X for two days before needing to plug it in.
The keyboard, which doubles as a protective cover for the screen, felt sturdy and nice to type on. It was not as tactile as a normal laptop keyboard, but close enough.
The keyboard easily attached to the screen with strong magnets, and above the keys was a nifty cradle to hold and recharge the device's digital pen. Below the keys was a roomy trackpad for controlling the mouse. To me, the keyboard was the most important feature when it came to getting work done on a PC, and this was where the Surface Pro X excelled.
My gushing stopped as soon as the keyboard came off.
In tablet mode, the Surface Pro X was awkward to use. It felt heavy to hold in one hand — the bulk comes, in part, from a metal flap on the back of the device, which can be unfolded to make the screen stand upright.
The software was the biggest problem. When you use the device as a tablet, Windows doesn't properly adapt to become a touchable operating system. Important elements, like the search icon or "X" button to close windows, remained tiny and difficult to tap with a fingertip. Web browser tabs appeared to be jammed into the top of the screen.
At heart, while Windows was designed to be a two-in-one experience, it is still a PC operating system with some flawed tablet features. Microsoft said that it had heard feedback from people on the Windows interface and that it was continuing to improve its software for tablet use.
Another downside is that some important apps were not compatible with this ARM-based computer. Dropbox, the online storage service that I rely on every day for work, doesn't fully function on the Surface Pro X. Adobe was still working to make some of its creativity apps, like Photoshop, work with this special version of Windows.
The device does work well, however, with Office 365, Microsoft's cloud-based versions of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
How will you know which of your apps will work with the Surface Pro X? There's no simple method short of doing a web search on app compatibility with this product.
Microsoft said it offered a tool to help people choose a Surface device based on their lifestyle and the type of work they do. For example, the tool steers creative users who rely on Adobe apps toward the Surface Book 2 and the Surface Pro 7, which can run a broader set of apps because of their PC chip architecture.
How Surface Pro compares with iPad Pro
The closest competitor to the Surface Pro X is the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the premium version of Apple's tablet that works with optional styluses and keyboards. To make comparisons, I tested an iPad Pro with Apple's Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil.
As a tablet, the iPad Pro was superior to the Surface Pro X's tablet mode in every way. The iPad Pro's body was more comfortable to hold. The software system was designed to work with your fingertips: App icons were nice and large, and swipe gestures acted as shortcuts to close apps and return to the home screen. The Apple Pencil magnetized to the side of the iPad, which replenished the pen's power.
But Apple's Smart Keyboard, which attached to the tablet with magnets, felt inferior to the Surface Pro X's keyboard. It was light and thin, which made typing on the keys feel flimsy. Fortunately, there were plenty of third-party iPad Pro keyboards that were bulkier but felt more like normal keyboards.
One other note: I have owned an older iPad Pro for several years, but it has never come close to replacing my laptop. Other than my neuroses about keyboards, the deal-breaker was the multitasking interface. I just can't get the hang of juggling several apps on an iPad when doing work; I'd rather toggle between multiple windows on a computer using a mouse and keyboard.
The bottom line
Over all, the Surface Pro X is a neat product. In the coming years, we can expect more PCs to adopt mobile computing processors and the strengths of our smartphones and tablets.
The Surface Pro will appeal mostly to those who want to live on the bleeding edge of tech. But for everyone else, there's no rush to buy. The device will be more mature once Microsoft improves Windows to be better suited for tablet use. It will also be a safer purchase after more staple apps are guaranteed to work with the device.
At $1,000, the Surface Pro X is expensive. The keyboard and stylus, which are must-buys to get the most out of this tablet, drive the price up to $1,270. For that much money, you could get a great laptop and a separate tablet. For most people, that's probably still the way to go.
At home with the Surface Pro and iPad Pro, I ultimately found myself wanting to reach for the iPad Pro more often to check email, browse the web and watch videos. When it came to work tasks, I yearned for a normal computer.
That was abundantly clear when I faced a tight deadline for writing this review of the Surface Pro. Instead of using the Surface to type this out, I returned to the office to write on a PC.
