Innovative Footwear Brand Unveils New 'X8' Line at FN PLATFORM Show in Las Vegas.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 20, 2013
Sockwa, an innovative footwear brand dedicated to providing shoes for people who'd rather go barefoot, today announced the launch of its new 'X8' line. Composed of a soft, breathable upper bonded to an ultra-thin, high-grip sole, the X8 will be on display beginning February 19, 2013 at the FN PLATFORM show in Las Vegas.
FN PLATFORM is the largest, most comprehensive footwear tradeshow throughout North America. Converging the global fashion community all under one roof, it is the ideal launching point for the X8. "The composition of the X8 makes it the perfect blend of function, comfort and most of all, fashion. As the X8 will demonstrate, Sockwa continues to produce the most tactile shoes available for those who would rather be barefoot," expressed CEO David Zasloff. He added, "We're super excited to see the reaction of our fans and future buyers of this product."
Given their versatility, much like the G2 and G3, the X8 can be used for a diverse host of activities, ranging from travel to hiking and cycling. With a crushable, washable and extremely lightweight (less than three ounces each) disposition, Sockwa makes for an ideal second shoe to roll, stow and go.
"Many of our customers have been assessing the marketplace and inquiring when they would experience a minimalist shoe that emulated barefoot yet offered just enough protection and most importantly, breathability," explained Zasloff.
Good for not only your feet and well-being, but for the environment as well. Sockwa are made from non-toxic, solvent-free, decomposable, readily recyclable, hypo-allergenic, anti-odor uppers along with rubber-free soles; thus, making them the perfect shoes for those to Tread Earth Lightly.™
About Sockwa:
Born on the beaches of Southern California, Sockwa started out making specialized footwear for the beach soccer and volleyball realms. When our customers told us they wanted to wear their Sockwa off the beach, we added a durable, ultra thin sole creating the lightest most tactile shoe on the planet. For more information on Sockwa, its team and its latest product offerings, please visit http://www.Sockwa.com or follow along on Twitter at @Sockwa.

text: I'm not new to this, I have an 18-month old daughter I just need to know if anyone knows if a PAP test can tell you if you are pregnant? I am 3 days late, took a digital test with a "not pregnant" result this morning. I had my PAP smear and check up this past Friday ... I assume if I was pregnant that the PAP or the vaginal check would have indicated pregnancy?

How To Draw v1.3Part 1: What is Drawing?This is how I've come to understand the act of drawing. Its best to first set the semantics (the specific meaning of the words) straight, so there are no crossed purposes.By 'drawing' I mean loosely the act of making visually representative marks on a surface.Anyone can draw. Anyone can attempt to recreate what they see in front of them - or a scene they imagine - by making marks on a piece of paper. If you hear someone say "I can't draw", slap them for me. As long as they have a moving part to which a pencil can be taped, they can draw.However, "attempt" is the operative word here... because that's all a

To provide an incentive to make higher quality postings? I honestly do not think this forum needs to increase quality this badly.

Oh great, looks exactly like Karmic and every Gnome desktop that has ever existed. Isn't it fun to wait a year for something that looks exactly the same as it did in 2004? Linux is the best. Obvious sarcasm. I'm switching back to Windows. I'm very sick of having the same look over and over. I look like a geek going into a Starbucks, or a moron using a buggy dock that doesn't belong on Linux in the first place. 2000 is over, Windows 95 and Windows 98 and Windows ME and Windows 2000 is over. A new wallpaper doesn't do it for me. You can't just make a theme for Ubuntu and call it "A new modern theme for Ubuntu!" when the only thing different is something black. I love using a default theme on an operating system, so I don't fel like a moron. But hey, I can't do that for Linux. Oh, no, I need something different.

He's right and you know it.
Gnome is seriously lacking in an attractive GUI, and KDE is rather unstable in comparison (and Kubuntu is a secondary distro - all the primary development going on is on ubuntu).
It's such a shame to see it look so obsolete, yeah I'm familiar with themes, but this brown-ass poo ubuntu doesn't cut it anymore - especially not when windows 7 is out.
I hope canonical will put more effort into Kubuntu as I see KDE the future (unless something radically good is happening to gnome) when it comes desktop GUI on linux.... both right now both are inferior to the GUI of either xp, vista or 7. - December 11, 2009 at 10:49 PM

Why are we complaining about something that you get for free? People can be so lazy. Ubuntu is giving you a plate. All you have to do to use it to your desire. Don't be a winger and appreciate what it has done to you. And please stop comparing one with the other linux. They are both good in their own right. And forget about os where you have to pay to complain about. This is not the place to do that. Go to their blog if they have one?

It took years and years of hard work by legions of engineers to create this marvel of technology which is my $300 netbook. Of course, the whole goal of this enterprise is to please us by bringing us the "new look" every time we get new os. How dare they relase new version of ubuntu without new color scheme and wallpaper!
On a serious note, anybody with more than one brain cell can fully customize their linux experience. It's about your individuality, so take your personal computer back and make it reflect your personality! It is not Canonical's job, it's yours. You have the tools (compiz, cairo-dock, emerald, kde, gnome, xface, etc.).
Of course, if you are an obedient member of worldwide consumer culture, feel free to join the army of spoon-fed clones (you do have a false choice between Bill and Steve).

I too would not mind Canonical spending a bit more time on a more modern and up to date theme, but perhaps they have their hands full with devolping under the hood. Everytime I install a new version of Ubuntu I install the infinity theme as it makes it look nice and modern and sleek.
Would be nice to have a theme like that as the default though.
What I really do dig even in 9.10 is the grey icons in the top system tray. Looks very sleek and see they have kept it in 10.4 - January 2, 2010 at 1:08 AM

Also, the default theme, interaction and notifications will be largely more content-focused for easy access to everything. Some articles have said it rivals Mac GUI. Whether that's the case or not, that's a good sign. - January 7, 2010 at 10:21 PM

pls use xfce4+ with compiz, just a theme only ma
why bother?
i run my ubuntu 9.10 with xfce4, compiz, with emarald, which consume low memory spaces
gnome "eat" too much of memory spaces, and load slow too......
and window vista GUI also same with window 7 GUI.....
so for me, microsoft window is for work, linux is for personal use! - January 20, 2010 at 12:43 PM

I don't know how any of you can even compare Ubuntu 9.04 to windows 7 much less 10.04. I've used both and linux still beats windows hands down and anyone that knows anything about a computer knows that. All of windows 7's new features have been available through ubuntu for decades. It's windows that's behind the times. The default background of Ubuntu may be bland but if you can right click a foto and select "set as desktop background" you have no business using linux in the first place. So bottom line, your negative comments are transparent and just show your ignorance.

One tip for everyone that's complaining about design issues.
install emerald, install gnome-do, install wallpaper-tray, enable desktop effects, and be happy. You'll have a nice-looking, wallpaper-changing, easy-handled desktop machine.
I bet you can do something similar with windows, but i also bet it won't be this easy. - January 25, 2010 at 1:40 PM

> Matrobiva: puoi personalizzarlo come più ti piace. (You can customize whatever you like)
> Anonymous: Come on, you chose an operating system just because of its default theme? How smart!!! I thought the operating systems were done just as a basic software that communicates with your hardware and permits you to launch applications. Moreover, ubuntu can be completely customized either with default included themes/styles either with optional stuff easily installable from the official repository.
But of course, we all have different tastes, if you like windows just because any release has a different theme you are free to buy and use it, I also like and use windows for some purposes (not the GUI) and OSX as well... still you shouldn't write so poor and pointless comments. Your argument is invalid. - February 2, 2010 at 9:15 AM

Linux is sooo much better than windoze, 1st of all its free, and so are most the apps/programs, then its made by a knowledgable community which fix bugs like theres no tomorrow, also the next new releases fly out every year. its always (ALWAYS) had a more powerfull GUI, and way more customizable then windoze, fact: windoze doesn't even permit you to change theme other than the ones installed by microsoft, you have to patch system files cheers m$ :/
only thin m$ has over linux is good ole' photoshop :( still waiting for thw wine release which can do ps cs4. - February 2, 2010 at 9:20 PM

I donno why some people attracted towards themes and backgrounds, in real that doesn't make any sense, I like improvements in kernel and its hardware support and packages comes within,I use Ubuntu to finish my daily task, try to work with operating system's packages and tools to make your innovative projects,customize Ubuntu to work for you !, Those who really make use of computer they probably having linux!, because they know the power of linux and they not play with colors :), what else the Ubuntu can do for me, it has done more than enough... At every release i look for improvements in packages, and i like default theme "human"... on any version of Ubuntu i choose this default theme due to its simplicity. In simple Gimp and photo shop has more colors so for those who like themes and colors use this or goto paint shop :)

Publicity? I have never seen any Linux distro advertised on tv, have you? Because it's on the telly people behamaybe the fact that it comes installed on your machine when you buy one? of course the cost of the license is included in the final price and the vendors get their cut, is it the same 3% of £700 than 3% of £600? the license alone is 100£!!!

Newsflash: Ubuntu doesn't attract it's users with it's GUI. This should not surprise anyone. If you are looking for something that will look chic at starbux please go to M$ or Apple... Ubuntu is geared toward people who want stability, power, and the ability to customize. That's right THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE. If your GUI is that important you can enable all sorts of fun desktop effects and organizing software. Granted it's a waste of time (and RAM), but it's all waiting for you on this fancy internet thing that Ubuntu utilizes so well.

All your comments show WHY Linux haven't become a success. You linux "nerds" may like a computer with a Windows 3.11 look and feel, and you probably love spending HOURS fixing and customizing the look of your window enviroment. But what about all the others that DONT want to spend all that time getting a nice look on their screens?
Should the Linux world be just for the geeks? Or do you want linux to be an alternative to Apple and Windows, a fair and free alternative for ALL people? Then you have to give up your "von-oben" attitude towards the ordinary computer user. Perhaps a lot of you rather prefer Linux (defined as os AND gui) to be an OS just for yourself, the self-declared "elite" users. At least you that don't show respect to other peoples opinions by calling them "dumbass" when they express their thoughts.
Ubuntu was at first a (and perhaps _the_ first) user-friendly linux alternative, a fact that made it's first success. Now, in order to continue expand and involve more users it HAS to improve its looks and feels, eg GUI, and it has to look nice out-of-the box.
Earlier when I started up my Linux laptop at the university, people got curious and wanted to now more about this strange and unfamiliar OS. But nowadays their reaction to Ubuntus shitty brown look is often "is it windows 95?".
So open your eyes and ears to the world OUTSIDE your little elite world and realize that something has to be done about the Ubuntu out-of-the-box-gui. - March 26, 2010 at 8:59 AM

Kudos to this link here...
As for the previous comment, I don't think anyone's trying to attack the Windows/Apple majority here. We're simply pointing out that it's incredibly dumb to judge Ubuntu 10.04 over looks...no one, and I repeat NO ONE is looking to linux for a flashy GUI yet, it's not important. What's important is power, speed, knowledge, and flexibility. It's opensource, enough said. In fact, for the majority of people who DO use linux, the simple GNOME interface is a welcome change of pace. And on top of that, who wants another Windows? We already have one...
So you and every other whining computer user can shut up and go back to complaining to Bill Gates/Steve Jobs, k? Windows and Apple have their jobs in the computer community, linux has it's own.
As a side note, I've used almost every Windows released (including DOS), a few Mac OSX editions, and many Linux distros...just to let you know my OS background knowledge. - March 26, 2010 at 2:22 PM

here we have a bunch of people whining like children cause the screen is still brown. as i recall ubuntu is in principal designed to be relatively stable free to anyone who wants use it. free to be modified to suit who ever's needs. if you dont like the color dont use it or modify it as YOU the end user sees fit. remember unlike microsoft canonical wont put you in jail for modding their software. you want a reason to complain look at the prices of other OS's some are based on linux and STILL charge. here i can get free USABLE community support without having to shell out my cash. i dont give a crap what color the home screen is its better than paying for support that expires every 5 years. and if you think windows 7 is so great think again when you drop close to $300 for the ultimate edition and only get 1 year of ms support.

i'd just like to say to all those out there using windows, i myself have used all the versions of windows that were ever released...but in less than a year,linux(ubuntu)gave me a whole new perspective when it comes to computing.You just cannot compare the flexibility of ubuntu to windows.Get it(afterall its free),try it(and if you're too lazy or biased to try it,meet someone who knows how to use it)...and see for yourself. We don't need a better wallpaper,or why should we go about doing thesame thing that Windows & Mac are doing?...let em do their thing and we'll do ours,oh,before i forget, i just tried out the new win7,..and,most of what i'm seeing here,i've already experienced them on Ubuntu.

You weenies need to stop whining about themes, whats more important, a good lookin-resource using os, or a sleek, fast, FREE oh wait FREE!! os that dosent hog up all your resources just to run? Vista=1gb of memory to run all its "just in case you need it" crap, and I mean crap (like search indexing that forever spins and spins your hd wearing it out as fast as possible, sure you can disable it but what a pain), Ubuntu, written by people, for everyone to use for free, is designed for running the programs you have the os for in the first place, if you cant live without all the pretty gadgets, transparencies, you can install them and download themes from other users--who also made them for free-- but I guess Google-ing "ubuntu themes" is too much work too? Jeez give me a break!

Post subject: Review: Barbancourt Estate Reserve (15 Year) Rum
Barbancourt Estate Reserve (15 Year) Rum: "Rum Flan"
Barbancourt Estate Reserve is the eldest of Barbancourt's four offerings: the white, 4 year (Three Star), 8 year (Five Star) and Pango (flavored). All the others have been reviewed.
This was the last of the lot primarily due to its price $38 (compare to the world class Five Star at $20 and Three Star at $18. For purposes of rationality and economy I tend to draw the line at around $30. A rum has to be quite special for this barrier to be broken. So far a mere handful have qualified: Mount Gay Extra Old, Seales 10 Year and now this special cane juice rum from the incomparable Barbancourt of Haiti.
On this night we also took the opportunity to do a flight of the 4, 8 and 15 year, along with 10 Cane and, believe it or not, Zaya 12 Year (Trinidad). But first this review:
Sue Sea
Barbancourt 15 year Estate Reserve comes in what is the usual Barbancourt bottle - classic, unpretentious, and old-fashioned, with a screw top cap. Unlike the Three and Five Star, the amber glass bottle is enhanced by a brushed finish. Like the others it has classic, gold-leafed labels featuring the multiple (21) international medals and famous teal "star" and staff carrying maiden.
Now what was special about this night too was that we organized a flight of the three Barbancourts. Naturally, we started with the Three Star and finished with this 15 year Estate Reserve. This turned out to a terrific plan, as I learned so much more about all three and how the differences developed among them.
Estate Reserve opens with an aroma that begins to approximate a good molasses rum. A heavenly vanilla, caramel, burnt sugar maple with also a candy/syrupy honey effect. I picked up a definite pineapple, and a hint of deep orange. Unlike some molasses rums, these were not additives! And all over a nice background of caney reed and oak.
This rum is entirely consistent from aroma to finish. The taste is rich and almost (but not) syrupy, hearty and flan-like, with a nice full body. It bordesr on - but is not - a dessert rum. This rum is quite exceptional and is the full fruition of the development of its younger siblings. The finish affects both mouth and chest and is white peppery hot. Like the other Barbancourts it has what I call an exhale, or what Jim refers to as a secondary olfaction. A aroma and lingering taste and burn that is extremely rewarding and characteristic of only the best rums.
Now I did not give Barbancourt Estate Reserve quite the same rating as the Five Star, but you might well reach the opposite conclusion. This is partly due to my personal preference, but also due to the intensity of this fine product.
Tasting Estate Reserve was a rare experience. As always, I will add only my additional impressions. The aging has resulted in a nice clear amber, with a thin light olive rim reflecting its aging. Reserve opened with a nice vanilla maple over a background of reed and pungent oak. This rum features a deep orange, leathery, tarry oak (a deep oak) furniture polish aroma. The full bodied taste is entirely consistent, with early smoothness and buttery sensation and ending with a growing hot white pepper end palate and long finish. Chest and especially mouth warming. Reserve is almost syrupy, but thankfully is not. There is only very little of the younger rums astringency.
This rum has reached the practical limit of aging. It is important for the distiller to know when a rum is fully mature - but without being over-oaked - and Barbancourt has hit it on the head. What made this tasting really special was including Reserve in a flight of the three gold Barbancourt cane juice rums.
Only in this way can you truly appreciate each of them. Be sure to read the post on this flight, in this section.
(ten is best):

Post subject: Barbancourt 15yr
Early in January, I found Barbancourt 15yr in a duty-free shop called Bristol's, in Nassau hidden in a cozy little nitch surrounded by hundreds of bottles of Bacardi. Knowing there was no Bacardi shortage in my home state of Missouri, and finding no favorite of mine like Appleton 12yr, I snagged it for 28USD.
Last week on the occasion of my 50th birthday I opened that bottle for a few old friends of mine in the lounge of a cigar shop. As I poured, we all wondered on the fate of the Barbancourt Distillery after the dreadful earthquake, and though my friends and I differ in politics, we all felt blessed of the opportunity to safely age gracefully in America.
Hmm, we all noted that rhum this old carries a lot of bourbon characteristics in the nose as vanilla and oak dominated. The alcohol was very mild and smooth, but it could have been muted by the cigars. Tropical fruit such as pineapple was dectectable by me as the velvety sweetness at last cut through the oak. The aftertaste was that of spun sugar, or even cotten candy.
I would recomend this rhum to anyone who drinks rum not only because it is excellent, but also Haiti could use the export money.
Best regards,
The Kawaller

I truly wish that we would be blessed with some Barbancourt up here in Quebec, Canada..... I was speaking with a friend of mine that works for the liquor commission and he informed me that there was a specific ingredient found within the Barbancourt rums that they will not authorize to be sold....
Can the SAQ wake up and import more rum?!?!?!?

Post subject: My research shows...
Adri, an intriguing question (...is Barbancourt disallowed from importation in Canada?)...
My research revealed that Barbancourt was indeed prevented from import for a time.
Indeed, Barbancourt has survived some tumultuous times, most recently a total economic embargo declared against the Haitian military government in October 1991. The blockade, enacted by the Organization of American States, was intended to force the return of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
"We were not allowed to export to the United States or Canada," Gardere (owner of Barbancourt) recalled. "In 1994, during the last four months of the embargo, even Europe joined in, so we were not allowed to export to anybody. The market was very depressed, so we worked on inter-nal affairs, trying to reduce our costs. We had no electricity, so we used gasoline-powered generators, but gasoline was $10 a gallon. And it was difficult to get spare parts. It finally ended in October 1994, when Aristide returned. Then we had to restart everything."
Actually, it appears you should be able to get Barbancourt in Canada, particularly Montreal.
Surprisingly, only 48% of Barbancourt's production is exported, mainly to the United States and Canada. Barbancourt sells especially well in Montreal, which -- being the world's second-biggest French-speaking city -- also has a substantial Haitian immigrant population.
Luxner News, 1999
I have also found that the SAQ.com in Quebec lists Barbancourt Pango for sale at $29.99 US. I would assume their other products must also be available. LCBO.com in Ontario does not list Barbancourt, but I've sent them an email for confirmation.
To be fair, the preceeding article is 1999. Since then WIRSPA - no friend of Barbancourt - has colluded with Canada to restrict rum competition in Canada, and it is entirely possible you are right.
If anyone can confirm this issue, please do so.

Ok, allow me to clarify my last post....
A few weeks ago, I visited an SAQ (the signature store in downtown Montreal) and had a nice chat with one of the employees who was in charge of tasting. He approached me by the rum section and asked me if I was into the stuff.
Of course, I told him that I was truly in love with rum and that I was simply frustrated at the lack of variety up here in Quebec. That being said, he told me that he and a friend had been wanting to import rum to our province, but that the laws (ultimately the SAQ's testing of all substances sold here), were very strict in terms of substances found within any product sold by them. In other words, importing something without knowing if the product would pass SAQ screening would prove to be expensive.
Now, YES, Pang Pang is available lol... And i'm not really keen on trying it. I'd much rather have the 5 star etc....
There is an internet source that stated that Barbancourt (except Pango) was not allowed on our shelves because of the levels of ethylene esters in the product... It is legal in Canada however...
Can the SAQ wake up and import more rum?!?!?!?

Thanks for the clarification. I'll add any emails I get if and when I get them. Now as far as Pango is concerned, it is made from the same base product as all the other Barbancourts, with the addition of pineapple, mango and various Haitian spices.
Bottom line: if Pango passes the testing, I'd assume the others would also. Stay tuned...

Adri got it right!
At least in Montreal. Here's an email I just received from SAQ.coM:
Good day Sir,
Further to your e-mail, please note that Barbancourt rum is not consistent in terms of rate of ethyl carbamate too high in the product.
Barbancourt is so difficult to rectify the situation; they themselves decide to stop servicing the Quebec market.
The only product we have is Barbancourt Pango rhum aux épices et fruits ambré @ 29,00 $; SAQ code : 10938967
Hoping this information will be helpful.
Best regards,
Micheline Martel

Société des alcools du Québec
Apparently the culprit is a bit too much of a chemical compound called "ethyl carbamate" in the other Barbancourt products. I still find this curious, as it is my impression that Pango is made from the same base.
Go figure...

Swiss Annual Development Cooperation Conference – effectiveness at the centre of debate
Approximately 2,000 delegates attended this year's Swiss Annual Development Cooperation Conference (SDC-SECO), which was held on Friday 17 August 2012 in Bern. Participating at this event for the first time in his capacity as head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFD), Didier Burkhalter highlighted the effectiveness and the importance of Switzerland's commitment to support the most disadvantaged nations.
Addressing the Conference, which was held at the BERNEXPO, Didier Burkhalter noted that the efforts of the international community in the area of development cooperation are bearing fruit and producing concrete results. He went on to cite tangible examples of the progress that has been achieved, including the reduction in the mortality rate among pregnant women and children in all regions of the world during the past few years, the improvement in the rate of children attending school especially in Africa and Asia, the reduction in the number of HIV infections, and improved access to drinking water, in line with the Millennium Development Goals set by the United Nations.
Federal Councillor Burkhalter emphasised the vital and innovative contribution Switzerland is making to these improvements through the programmes implemented by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). He also underscored the key role played by this commitment in strengthening Switzerland's economic foreign policy.
In his address, Didier Burkhalter also underscored the importance of assuring the effectiveness of aid provided by Switzerland, as well as the necessity to cast a critical eye on this commitment in order to draw lessons from it and continually improve it. In his view, development cooperation has to continue to take place in areas in which Switzerland possesses the necessary expertise, e.g. education, healthcare, water supply, financing, promotion of the private sector.
In her address, state secretary and SECO director, Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch, drew attention to the principle of Swiss cooperation. "We work on the principle of helping people help themselves," she explained. "In the area of international cooperation, we do not simply give gifts - we support our partners' own efforts. One of SECO's main objectives is to help integrate Switzerland's partner countries into the world economy and promote their sustainable growth."
Martin Dahinden, director-general of the SDC, declared that there was now wide acceptance of the view that good projects are not sufficient on their own to permit development, adding that it was necessary to assign bigger roles to the partners concerned, namely governments and private organisations. This required, he said, improved coordination with other donors at both the bilateral and the multilateral level. He emphasised that cooperation can only be truly effective if commitments are long-term and predictable, and that here all donor countries need to take additional action.
Numerous experts also took the floor during the conference, including Catarina de Albuquerque, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to safe drinking water and sanitation, who spoke about the global risks associated with development cooperation.
Philippe Fayet, coordinator of the SDC cooperation office in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), illustrated the support provided by the SDC in Africa by describing a project involving a cattle market in the Fada N'Gourma district. This project, which is being financed and supported by Switzerland and brings together hundreds of cattle breeders and dealers each week, is a good example of how local development can yield major benefits.
Various representatives of SECO cited the example of Switzerland's commitment in the area of fiscal and administrative reforms in Ghana. Thanks to Switzerland's support, fiscal revenue rose from 12.7 to 18.8 percent of GDP in the period from 2002 to 2010, which increased Ghana's capacity to self-finance its efforts to combat poverty.
It should be noted here that, in February 2011, Parliament resolved to increase Swiss development aid to 0.5 percent of gross national income by 2015. The main priorities of this objective have been formulated in the Dispatch concerning international cooperation in the period from 2013 to 2016 which is currently being debated in Parliament.

OK I have played with the 620 in 2 different stores so far and although it is nice,it has a rather sluggish screen response. It seems to have trouble catching up with my finger swipes. Here is my video
Notice how it tries to catch up with my fingers - 02-04-2013, 01:51 PM #5
Thanks for video but i'm not sure it's abnormally sluggish.. To get faster scrolling you need to have a right amount of 'flick' in your swipe. It's not always easy to do with a thumb. It seems to scroll pretty fast when you did that at times. My L920 behaves similarly .
Yes, it does scroll slowly and I really have no idea why. Mine seems fine when I want to scroll downwards but scrolling upwards, it's very sluggish and very slow, exactly like how you show in the video. Also, the Lumia 620 in Malaysia at least, has this sort issue where the screen cannot register multi touch correctly. Happened with mine, but only for a couple of times a week. Been a long time since it last happened and it happened again just a couple of hours ago but only for a couple of minutes. Now it seems to be fine though...
Now I'm not sure whether this is a hardware issue or a software issue. I did switch off the screen magnifier thing though...Nokia Lumia 620 - White - 02-05-2013, 11:03 AM #9
Another big mistake by Nokia. This phone was supposed to be important as means of expanding the platform.
seems to run smoothly for this chap.
Though I did notice the one I tried in the o2 store did the same thing. Ill go back at the weekend and try turning off magnifier and see if it improves - 02-06-2013, 04:47 AM #12
I imagine this is not an issue for first-time users as they have nothing to compare it to.

What's your timeline? Study hours? Lab time? Exam date? Share your plan of attack here!
(If you've blogged your plan, please paste it here and link to it, too. Thanks!)
Timeline... 60 days? Haha sometime during tech ed!
Study Hours? Any I can spare.
Lab Time? Will be hand in hand with study hours.
Exam Date? I haven't looked at tech ed exam registration but I am hoping for June 10th.
I'll be studying after work, as much as I can without getting burned out. I'm currently scheduled to take the 71-246 beta on Friday, 04/27/2012, so I'm in a bit of a rush.
Since I won't get my results immediately on the beta, I'll assume i failed and continue to study with the intent to take the production exam once it's released. Worse case scenario, I become extremely familiar with SC 2012, so it's a win-win either way.
As far as the plan goes, mine looks a lot like Matt's (since i stole it from his blog). The exception for me is that I have already taken 70-659 (last Saturday), so I won't have to worry about that portion.
Current plan:
Review MOC 10750A Teacher's Materials
System Center Virtual Labs
Home Labs
Microsoft Private Cloud Evaluation Guide
The Microsoft Private Cloud: A Technology Overview by David Chappell
I'm starting now , I've built "my lab" installing all components except for SCCM 2012 .
I wish to take the exam during teched europe 2012
I'm studying at home , off course , and in any spare time
My timeline is from now to MCSE: PC by July 1st.
Personally I got the MCSA for "free", as I already had the MCITP: EA. Need to do the 70-659 after a failed attempt in January, then go for the 247 one.
I'm also tutoring a gang of five on their way to MCSA, aiming at completing that by the end of 2012. First up is 70-642.
We're rebuilding our lab from scratch, adding some more hardware so we can do more of the fun stuff.
Our kind employer let's us devote 20% of work hours to do this, so we're gonna take advantage of that, plus arrange some pizza-night get-together's in the lab.
I'm gonna be teaching one of the courses for the MCSA, but haven't really locked down which one yet, suggestions are welcome! :)
I got my mcsa as I'm a mcitp Enterprise messaaging and server administrator
I started studying the installing and configuring private cloud material
Hopefully this summer, before Sept. Study hours are going to be 25% at work, which is a great place to be, and after hours as well. Currently wrapping up my MCITP:EA and some deep dive in AD with Microsoft in July as well. SCOM 2007 is about 20% of my work now, so should be a nice option to have the MCSE for sure.
Anyone know where they are holding this class
10751AB...seems like the study materials for this class would be a good thing to get a hold of for prep...seeing as how there's a dearth of books out there on Private Cloud...
The module list for this course as well is pretty extensive with task items on it that probably can only be completed in a lab environment.
My plan of attack for most of these things is just to get in and do it. I was home schooled throughout high school so the self-study course books are good...I don't do well with cramming or exam cram books...I take a ton of notes...and draw a lot of architecture diagrams by hand, which helps to keep things in memory. I'm looking into investing in some practice tests, but overall I'm a pretty good test taker so we'll see on that.
I Pass yesterday 70-59, Now I Need study por 70-642 70-642 and 70-646. Many work

I found this case yesterday in the trunk of my car. I believe I bought it years ago to jog with my Blackberry Pearl. It has a detachable belt clip that swivels and is almost exactly the right size and design for the G4. It even comes with an armband and corresponding slot which could be used with a belt - although that would orient it vertically.
The tag on the inside has a model number of CRC90677 which I was able to find on amazon for $10.
Thx Mike, gre8t resource!
Thanks Mike, this looks perfect ! Just ordered one.
I use a body glove case for my MM pump and very happy with the quality. Many others I've tried had not lasted very long.
Love the idea of a detachable clip.
I have ordered several cases for my G4, and NONE of them work. Just ordered this one. Look forward to trying this one out - thanks!
DITTO ABOVE.. THANK YOU MIKE ! I ordered one too.. amazon said "only 19 left in stock" .. you will prolly sell them out!
WHY can't Dexcom design practical cases for their products ?~!
update: my case arrived 12/31 .. I'm really glad to have this case! it isn't a 100% perfect fit (the viewing window cuts off just a bit of the far left of the screen where the transmitter icon is) but it's close, and sooo much better than Dexcom's case. for those of us who keep our G4 receivers in our pants pockets, this case gives nice added protection without being bulky (I removed the little black plastic clip-attachment piece since I will not be using it). thanks again Mike for telling us about this.
Thanks Mike for the picture and the link. I just got my G4 yesterday and I do agree they did really a bad job in the included case. I ordered one as well, I noticed that Buy.com also have it, in case Amazon went out!
I did discus this issue with one of their representatives in a conference and they advise me to call customer service and complain, which I did for the SevenPlus new case
and actually they where nice enough to send me an old case for the SevenPlus.
I advise you and my self to give them a call and complain, they listen!
Note Buy.com and Amazon are both referencing the same dealer Happy Cellular. So there really is only one vendor with that case right now. Get it now while it's hot!
Geeks.com have it for 4.99 but they're out of stock.
Awesome! I just ordered this case, too. Thanks for the head's up.
It now says 'only 20 in stock' so I'm guessing the supplier must keep a general stock of 20 items on hand. So: hopefully anyone can order and they won't run out! :o)
Thank you so much for sharing this, Mike. I just ordered one too. :) I have received my G4 but have still been using my Seven+ to use up old sensors and trying to figure out what the heck to do about a case for the G4.
The G4 case provided by Dexcom is silly if you actually look at your receiver during the day... maybe it's just me but why in the world would you design a case where you couldn't easily see the screen? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of monitoring?
Thanks Mike for sharing info on the case. Just recieved my new G4 and I have to agree with everyone, the supplied case isn't very practical. looks like yours will work well. Just ordered one on ebay for 6 bucks.

Kingston school board member Kristen Uhl resigns in first term, citing work, family commitments
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Board of Education Trustee Kristen Uhl, citing professional and family time conflicts, resigned her seat on the board Wednesday.
"I believe strongly that this position requires 100 percent commitment," Uhl told fellow board members in announcing her immediate resignation. "Due to my career and my family, I am unable to give that commitment, which is unfair to the staff, community, and especially the children of this district. I want to express my gratitude to community members that supported me, and I hope that my actions and words have never led to that faith in me being questioned."
Uhl did not always vote with the rest of the school board.
In perhaps the most memorable example, she cast the deciding "no" vote in March 2011 when the school board was considering a contract with BBL Construction Services to manage the proposed $92 million Kingston High School overhaul. The board, however, later reconsidered the agreement and approved it, with Uhl voting in favor.
She was recently the lone trustee to vote against a contract for Allen Olsen, who will become the district's new assistant superintendent for business on Monday. Uhl called her opposition "a matter of salary."
"I want to thank the other members on the board," Uhl said Wednesday night. "Although we have not always seen eye to eye, our goal has always been the betterment of the students."
Uhl, who works at the Little Red Schoolhouse, a Hurley nursery school, was elected in June 2010. Her term expires at the end of the current school year on June 30, 2013.
Matthew McCoy, the president of the school board, said the remaining members of the board will decide how Uhl's position will be filled at the Board of Education's Jan. 2 meeting.
Uhl spoke highly of Superintendent Paul Padalino, saying "he is truly heading this district in the direction of greatness."
"I ask that you continue to support the board and the staff of the district to continue their work in better education for all students," Uhl added. "Our students can exceed our expectations. We should exceed theirs."
