It's kind of funny that a software application would use abbreviations that refer to pre-software days. Remember carbon copies? Cc means carbon copy and Bcc means blind carbon copy. For emailing, you use Cc when you want to copy others publicly, and Bcc when you want to do it privately. Any recipients on the Bcc line of an email are not visible to others on the email. These five tips get beginners started and provide info for those who already know how to use Bcc.
Connect. Organize. Get things done.
Microsoft Outlook
Connect. Organize. Get things done.Get Outlook
Tip #1: How to add and remove Bcc
Probably one of the biggest hurtles that customers face is figuring out how to add or remove Bcc to or from an email.
- To do that, open your email message, and on the Options tab in the Show Fields group, click Bcc.
Bcc appears in the Send area of your email, below Cc. (Cc appears in the Send area by default.)
- To remove Bcc from your email, again go to the Options tab in the Show Fields group, and click Bcc. Once you add (or remove) Bcc, it stays that way for all email messages.
Tip #2: How to see recipients of a Bcc email that you sent
While others can't see who's on the Bcc line of the email you send, you might want to remind yourself who you included.
- To do that, go to your Sent Items folder and open the message with Bcc recipients. (By default, all sent messages are stored in the Outlook Sent Items folder.)
All recipients appear in the header section of your message.
Tip #3: When to use Bcc
Most people know when to use the Cc line–you put people there who you need to keep in the loop even though they're not the primary people you're sending to. When you want to keep recipients hidden from people on the To: line, then you add them to the Bcc line. Tip #4 and #5 give you two reasons you might want to do that.
Tip #4: Bcc prevents overflowing inboxes
If your name is on the Bcc list, you won't receive any emails if someone on the To or Cc line replies to the original email. This is especially handy when there are lots of people on the To or Cc line who Reply All during a long email conversation. Your inbox would be inundated with emails when all you needed to care about was the first one.
Tip #5: Don't reveal your identity
Take note! If you're on the Bcc line of an email and you reply to the email, your secret's out-everyone on the To and Cc lines knows you were Bcc'd. Why does this matter? Let's say you send an email to a colleague gently reminding him or her about a deliverable that's long overdue. You want to let your manager in on this, so you include her on the Bcc line. But if she replies to the email-uh-oh! Your colleague knows you've "informed" your manager. Might make for some awkwardness in the workplace for a while!

Intellectual Property Protection & Litigation Attorney Phoenix
Federal and Arizona law have long provided protections for business assets commonly known as "intellectual property." Your intellectual property can range from trademarks and trade names to copyrighted material and even trade secrets such as confidential client lists and information. The law offers a wide array of procedures for protecting such valuable assets, including in some cases registration with federal or state offices like the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and the Office of the Arizona Secretary of State. Also, various federal and state statutes provide methods for protecting intellectual property, and guarantee the holder of the rights claims that can be pursued against those misusing their intellectual property to stop its misuse and to obtain damages caused by the misuse or misappropriation of the intellectual property.
Examples of intellectual property issues that the attorneys at Baskin Richards can help you with include:
- Protecting against the misuse of confidential, proprietary trade secret information of your business (such as financial or operations information, customer information, marketing information or new product development information);
- Protecting against attempts by competitors to unfairly compete by confusing consumers into believing the competitor is your business or offers the same services or products;
- Protecting against unauthorized uses of your copyrighted materials, trademarked names, trade names or service marks by competitors or in an effort to discredit your brand or business;
- Protecting you from counterfeit goods placed into the market place to mimic your goods and divert sales;
- Helping you enforce against those from whom you have purchased intellectual property their contractual and common law obligations to avoid using the property any further or creating undue confusion in the marketplace;
- Seeking injunctions to stop improper, unfair or deceptive trade practices or counterfeiting by competitors;
- Defending against improper claims that you or your business have improperly usurped or used someone else's intellectual property or are engaging in deceptive or improper trade practices.
Our Phoenix intellectual property litigation attorneys can help you protect your intellectual property and the value it represents to you by crafting effective contracts that protect misuse or misappropriation of such property by business partners, officers, employees or independent contractors.

First aid intervention in the adult population: Yorkshire Health Study and its implications for first aid education
Background: First aid can reduce death, injury and suffering, but little is known about the characteristics of those who actually give and receive it. The aim of this study was to conduct a first aid behavior survey of a large adult population in the United Kingdom.
Methods: A survey (web and postal) of adults was conducted between 2013 and 2015 as part of the Yorkshire Health Study. Two questions were asked about their first aid behavior: whether participants had administered first aid and if yes, their relationship to the first aid recipient.
Results: Of the 13,584 adults who responded, 11.6% reported having given first aid to someone in the previous year, of whom three quarters (76.3%) knew the recipient. Women, those aged 26-45, those with 2-4 children, and people on higher incomes were more likely to report having given first aid. Although young people were less likely to provide first aid, they were more likely to have assisted strangers.
Conclusion: Despite the limitations of this study, analysis of this dataset provides a profile of self-defined first aiders in Yorkshire, UK. The findings can be used to inform the development of future population based interventions such as targeted first aid education, providing a foundation for future research.

When I was about 4, I got the present I had dreamed of – Wonder Woman Underoos. My parents have a picture – which my mom added to MY Album, the one she showed to every man who came to the house with me in mind – of me standing, hands on hips, Wonder Woman underoos gold and shiny from the package. I was so proud.
Today, as I watched this great TED talk from spoken word poet Sarah Kay, I was reminded of my underoos and why I wanted them. I didn't really care about the actual outfit (boostiers have never really been my thing), and the Lasso of Truth? BORING! Nope, what I wanted were those cuff bracelets that could deflect bullets and the invisible jet. In other words, I didn't want the things that would compel me to action – i.e. the Lasso required that I confront someone – what I really wanted was the things that would keep me safe, so safe in fact that people couldn't even see me.
I really wanted to be invisible.
I lived my life this way for a long time . . . I was the girl in high school who knew everyone, who knew everyone's secrets, and who was never – not once – invited to that big party at the Lake. I don't think it was because people didn't want me there (although of course it could have been that); instead, I think it was more that they didn't even think to invite me. I was pretty much invisible. I was a receptacle for stories, not someone with a story myself.
For a long time I liked this.
Until I didn't. Somewhere in college at a school where I found the people who are still, 20 years later, still my closest, most real friends, I also found my skin, the skin that actually surrounded me and let me stand out instead of that chameleon's skin I had been wearing. I couldn't really tell you when it happened; it might have even started the first day of school when I walked onto that Christian college campus in my cut-off jeans, Escher t-shirt, boy-short hair, and kick-ass, plaid Chuck Taylors. The fact that I can remember that outfit tells me that I had something to say that day. . . maybe that was the start.
Later, Helen Walker would tell me that my way with words was really amazing, and she would ask me to help other people with theirs. Still later, Ted Gup would tell me that I should do this writing thing, that I was good at it. . .
I wasn't invisible anymore.
Still at times I want to hide. Some days – when the aches in my soul threaten to crack me apart, when the words of someone who doesn't really see me slice open my wrists where my Wonder Woman bracelets used to be – I beg God to send the invisible jet and let me hide for a bit.
But most days, instead of crossing my cuffed arms in front of me to deflect bullets, I like, Sarah Kay, lower my arms, open my palms up and wait for the earth and sky to fall into them as I grasp every single thing that I can. I am still a receptacle for other people's stories (a fact that I love), but I am also my own stories, and I won't want to fly away and miss a single one of them.
Today,I lash that Lasso of Truth to my waist, and with hands on hips confront those stories that can see me – gold and shiny and ready to take them on.
Incidentally, if you would like to relive your childhood years with Linda Carter and the Super Friends, this page on Wonder Woman is quite the time warp.

HTC One M8 Verizon
Best Windows Mobile Phone
Expert Review
As an Android phone, the HTC One (M8) won praise for its solid build quality, especially for its metal unibody construction. HTC brought the exact same design to its Windows Phone lineup with the HTC One (M8) for Windows and while the name is a mouthful, it is one of the best Windows Phones currently on the market.
The phone comes with Windows 8.1 installed with its very capable virtual voice-activated assistant, Cortana. The screen comes in at 5 inches and the rear facing camera is highly regarded. It's also one of the few cameras (if not one of the only one), that can do 3D imaging. Critics also like the audio fidelity from its two speakers mounted opposite each other. The HTC One (M8) for Windows comes with 32 GB of storage and is upgradable up to another 128 GB through the use of a microSD card. Battery life comes in at 15.5 hours of usage and 15 days of standby.

Caleb's piece covers the ground well, but I want to look specifically at the economic welfare effects of rent control, and who gains and who loses from controlled rents. Remember that governments (local or central) typically enact rent controls in order to help low-income tenants who may be struggling to pay high rents (often in inner-city neighbourhoods).
Consider the market in the diagram below. If the market is at equilibrium, the market rent is R0, and the quantity of housing rented is Q0. Now say instead that there is a binding rent control at R1 (below the market rent). The lower rent makes renting more attractive relative to owning your own home. Some people would find it cheaper or more convenient to be a renter at this lower rent, so the quantity of rental housing demanded increases (to QD). However, the lower rents make rental housing a less attractive investment for landlords. Perhaps they convert that rental housing into commercial rentals instead (e.g. offices) or maybe they choose to live there themselves (the opportunity cost of living in the house is now lower). Either way, the quantity of rental housing decreases (to QS). The difference between QD and QS represents the excess demand for rental housing at the controlled rent – there are fewer houses available than the quantity people want to rent.
It should be obvious that landlords are made worse off by rent controls - their rental housing attracts lower rents (R1 instead of R0), and they provide fewer rental housing units at that lower rent (QS instead of Q0). The producer (landlord) surplus is a measure of the landlords' economic welfare - it is the difference between the rent they receive (either the market rent or the rent controlled rent), and their costs (which are shown by the supply curve). Without the rent control, the landlord surplus is the area R0EF on the diagram, but with the rent control, the landlord surplus falls to the area R1CF. Landlords are made unambiguously worse off by the rent control.
What about tenants? The consumer (tenant) surplus is the difference between the amount that tenants are willing to pay (shown by the demand curve), and the amount they actually pay (the market rent, or the rent controlled rent). Without the rent control, the tenant surplus is the area AER0, but with the rent control this increases to the area ABCR1 [*]. Tenants as a group are made better off. However, this ignores that many prospective tenants are missing out on rental accommodation (remember the amount of rental housing has fallen from Q0 to QS). Because of the shortage of rental housing, landlords have choice over who they rent their housing units to. Given the choice between, say, a couple who both have professional jobs earning relatively high income, and a low income family who have precarious jobs, the landlord is likely to choose the former, who they probably assume to be lower risk. So, it is likely that the tenants that the rent control policy is designed to help most are likely to be one of the groups that loses from it - an unintended consequence of the policy.
Finally, the sum of the tenant and landlord surpluses in this market is what we term total welfare - a measure of the benefit to society arising from this market. Without the rent control, total welfare is the area AEF, but with the rent control this falls to the area ABCF. There is a loss of total welfare of the area BEC - the deadweight loss of the rent control. This deadweight loss arises because the gains to tenants (in terms of more tenant surplus) from the rent control are much less than the losses to landlords (in terms of lost landlord surplus).
Moreover, there are other negative effects such as landlords' incentives for keeping their housing units in good repair are reduced (because there is a shortage of housing - tenants can't afford to be choosy about the unit they rent), and the incentives to build new developments are reduced (because they will be much less profitable than if the market rent prevailed). The effects are also worse in the long run (including a larger deadweight loss). So, as Caleb Malik concludes:
...rent control is often marketed by politicians as a way to help the lower class. They paint the landlord as an old miser who is simply out to get the poor, and rent control as a way to stop this antagonist. The public often idealizes such a scenario. When not critically analyzed, rent control sounds utopian. One of our largest expenses has now been limited? Who wouldn't sign up for that? Yet, the effects are rather tragic, as both liberal and conservative economists agree.
On the one hand, tenants find extremely limited housing, and the housing they do find is run down or comes with a price tag that is nowhere near affordable. On the other hand, landlords can no longer profit from their investments. This results in both a loss of new developments and a reduction in the quality of current housing.
[*] However, it is by no means certain that tenant surplus would increase. If the controlled rent is too far below the market rent, then tenant surplus starts to decrease. To see why, consider the extreme example where the controlled rent is zero - at that rent no landlords would offer their properties for rent, and the tenant surplus falls to zero!

They are brothers, best friends and business partners – but tonight Daz and Craig Kerr will be sworn enemies.
For the restaurant-owning pair, from Chadderton, Oldham, are divided when it comes to football.
Daz, 25, will be in the red corner for the derby while Craig, 28, is firmly entrenched as a Blue.
Craig, who will be at the Etihad, said: "After years of watching them win everything, and seeing my brother celebrate, it would be brilliant if we win the match. And if we do win, I think we will go on and win the league."
Daz says that his whole family are United supporters and reckons Craig chose City 'just to annoy them'.
He said: "We have tried our best to talk him out of it, but he won't listen."
The pair own and run the Milan Bar restaurant in Lees, Oldham, as well as the newly-opened Italian Job in Newhey, Rochdale.
Daz said he was hoping there would not be a repeat of last October's 6-1 Old Trafford romp by the Blues.
He said: "I had to go into hiding after the match. I turned my phone off and let's just say I didn't see Craig for a while – I couldn't have handled it."
Both agree that tonight's match will be tight. Daz thinks it will finish 1-1, but Craig is confident that City will edge the contest 2-1, with Carlos Tevez scoring the winner.
He said: "It has to be Tevez – it's destined to happen."

Amanda N. Leggett, Steven Zarit, Angela Taylor, and James E. Galvin, The Gerontologist published ahead of print July 28, 2010 doi:10.1093/geront/gnq055
Purpose: Patients with Lewy body dementia (LBD) may present a unique set of symptoms and challenges to family caregivers compared with other types of dementia. Prominent difficulties include motor impairment, activities of daily living (ADLs) disability, recurrent behavioral and emotional problems (BEPs), and diagnostic difficulties. These problems are likely to affect caregivers' subjective burden.
Design and Methods: The present study used data from an Internet survey conducted by the Lewy Body Dementia Association. Respondents were 611 people who indicated that they were currently involved in the care of their relative with LBD. Subjective burden was assessed with a 12-item short version of the Zarit Burden Interview.
Results: A factor analysis revealed 3 dimensions of burden: role strain, personal strain, and worry about performance. Multiple regressions were used to examine predictors of these dimensions. BEPs, ADL disability, isolation, caregiver age, and patient gender were significant predictors of specific factors. Falls, formal service use, difficulty finding a physician, and evaluation of the physician had no significant associations with burden.
Implications: These findings highlight burden experiences by caregivers of patients with LBD and the impact of BEPs, ADL assistance, and awareness about LBD on subjective burden.

What's the big deal about antioxidants?
One Fruit Shines Above the Rest
In addition to being loaded with immune-supporting antioxidants, maqui was found to have "antimicrobial activity" against "bacterial and fungal human pathogens, especially including wound pathogens."2 Plus it has vitamins A, C, B1, and B3, along with calcium, iron, magnesium, and copper. This little berry packs a lot of punch!
Our maqui powder is raw, organic, non-GMO and freeze-dried. Did we mention it's delicious, too? Check out what people are saying…
"I love this product. It's like the berriest berry you've ever eaten. It's blueberry meets raspberry meets cherry – it's delish. I put a teaspoon in my green juice in the morning and it improves the taste and I get all the health benefits. I also sprinkle it on sliced bananas and it's GREAT. I start to crave it sometimes. Definitely add it to your list." – Elle
"Can't imagine anyone not liking this :)" – Kristya
"I love to mix maqui powder with my orange juice in the morning, and it gives me extra energy for the day. It tastes great too – It's subtly sweet with a nice depth to it." – Lauren
Maqui berries have a rich berry flavor without being too sweet. The powder is ideal to add into smoothies and yogurt since it blends so easily. Check out these creative ways to add a maqui berry-licious twist to a sweet or savory dish!
Whole maqui berries have a crunchy texture, great for snacking out of the bag, or to make tea – simply steep in hot water for 1-2 minutes and sweeten to taste. Or you could try this amazing Maqui Cheesecake recipe!

LDCK is still not available for my account to be downloaded...why?
Feature creep: we are still adding some extra functionality.
I have the SDK installed, so you want us to pay for SDK stuff now?
Certainly not. I did not communicate that we would charge for SDK items. I presume you have downloaded Enhancer Software version 1.4 which represents six months work for our team and did not cost you anything.
It sounds like the server side database behind Updater needs to be updated so Updater doesn't offer this unless there is an SDK: assign.
We are looking into it now. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I am happy to welcome you back to my vehicle blog. A good buddy of mine is taking his motorbike on a long road trip from Baltimore to Seattle next month, so I have been spending the better part of these last few weeks helping him get everything ready. He has had to take his bike in for an inspection to make sure nothing was wrong with it, whilst I have volunteered myself to find some motorcycle accessories that will help make his trip more enjoyable. This meant spending time on my favourite used good site, www.used.forsale, where I was able to find plenty of essential add ons for an across the country motorcycle ride.
Luggage Racks
If you are planning a longer trip on the back of your motorcycle, luggage racks and luggage containers are a must. You can find some luggage containers that attach straight onto your bike, although most of those are model specific. I've found that the best thing to do is purchase varying sizes of luggage racks for the sides and back so that you can use different sized containers if needed. I found a great selection of used luggage racks at http://www.used.forsale/motorcycle-luggage-racks and was able to present my friend with a couple options.
A quick note, when purchasing luggage containers make sure that you account for the space needed for a safety kit.
Extra Mirrors
You might think that you're such a great driver, why would you need extra mirrors on a road trip? Because unfortunately not everyone else on the road is a great driver. And after having the remains of someone's big mac crash into your bike mirror at 100 kilometres an hour you might need to replace broken mirrors. If you are planning on a serious trip through different climates, consider bringing a couple types of mirrors to help in different weather conditions and circumstances. I found the best selection of used motorcycle mirrors to be on http://www.used.forsale/motorcycle-mirrors and picked up a couple cheap replacements.
Pack anything you might need
If you are going to be on a trip with your bike lasting over a week, a good tip is to treat the adventure like its a campervan trip when you start packing. I talked about what makes a campervan trip so great in a previous post which has all the information, but I will summarize it again. You can save money by cooking your own meals and stay closer to points of interest by camping out.
When I go on long trips and plan on staying out exploring I like to use the trip planners on Harley Davidson's website. It shows places to eat, sleep and look at on your trip route and is great for finding a campground in the middle of nowhere.
Start Your Engines!
Once your bike has been inspected and you have all the additional parts you will need, it's time to ride. Make sure to let friends and family know where you will be travelling to, and keep a record of your trip with someone close. If anyone is heading on a motorcycle trip anytime soon, let me know in the comments if there is anything else you did before leaving. Have a good one everybody, I will speak to you again soon.

Google has started pushing the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to all the Nexus devices now. Factory Images have been uploaded for all of them too. However, no process has been started for the Google Play Edition devices. But according to some rumors, the HTC One series phones will get the Lollipop update this Friday.
According to a new Tweet from HTC's Mo Versi, they ran into a small snag but are still targeting to a Friday release — at least providing all else goes as planned.
While HTC has promised the update for their flagships within 90 days, the GPe devices should not wait such long as they run on the stock Android.
HTC One M7 and M8 will receive all the features of the Lollipop – Material Design, Project Volta, new Lockscreen notifs, a better Notification and Status bar and much more.
Mo Versie has tweeted Friday as the day of the release so it should be released on weekend even if some problem arises. Lets wait and watch.

BEA Book Buzz Panel
And the place was PACKED. If there'd been chandeliers we'd have been hanging from them. I arrived at 3pm to secure prime seats. I had to fend off trespassers, interlopers and other brigands till the FPLM contingent arrived. Fortunately Brooks and Becky understand "come now!" means don't dawdle when they see it on a text message from me.
Here are the books that were buzzed:
BRAIN ON FIRE by Susannah Cahalan.
Editor: Millicent Bennett, FreePress.
Pub date 11/13/12
This is a memoir by a woman who was stricken with a disease that no one could diagnose or find. On paper she was 100% normal. In person she was hallucinating, violent, paranoid and heading for death.
"It reads like a thriller," we were told and I believe it. Turns out the author had a rare autoimmune disease. When she was diagnosed, she was the 217th person to have it.
More than the story of one person though, this is "an exploration of the science behind the disease," a disease that may be what people in the Middle Ages who were thought to be possessed by demons actually had.
And the last sentence left the audience gasping: the author may have contracted this disease when someone sneezed on her in the subway.
The reason there's no picture of this book above: it's at home. I started reading it last night and yes, it's amazing.
THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY by Rachel Joyce.
Editor: Kendra Harpster, Random House.
Pub date: 7/24/12
"A love story in reverse" got my attention. And that it reminded me of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, a book I loved wholeheartedly.
A MILLION HEAVENS by John Brandon.
Editor: Eli Horowitz, McSweeneys.
Pub date: 7/10/12
"Events effortlessly tumble forward" has to be one of the greatest descriptions of how a plot moves I've ever heard. The editor describes this as a mashup of Denis Johnson and Elmore Leonard. For that alone I've got to read it.
IN THE SHADOW OF THE BANYON by Vaddey Ratner.
Editor: Trish Todd, Simon and Schuster.
Pub date: 8/7/12
When asked why she had written a novel, not a memoir, the author, who was 5 when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, and 11 when she arrived in the United States as a refugee, said she "wanted to memorialize the people she knew and loved with a work of art."
This is a book about "the power of words to transcend loss."
It was all I could do not to leap out of my seat, race to the stacks of books, seize this and start reading at once. In fact, I did do all those things, waiting only until the close of the presentations.
And I started reading this last night too. (Sleep is for later!) I have a feeling you'll be hearing about me on the topic of this book again.
THE PEOPLE OF FOREVER ARE NOT AFRAID by Shani Boianjiu.
Editor: Alexis Washam, Hogarth.
Pub date: 9/11/12
"The Things They Carried" meets "Mean Girls." Hard to top that comparison isn't it! This is the story, a braided story, of three girls who are conscripted into the Israeli Defense Force and how their lives will never be the same. A "fusion of pop culture and the military." The girls are cleaning their weapons and talking about Lady Gaga. Having trysts in the shed that's used to store extra ammunition.
Alexander Chee said this is "written in bullets, teargas and love." (Since I'm a devoted fan of Alexander Chee this got my attention!)
PANORAMA CITY by Antoine Wilson.
Editor: Lauren Wein, HMH.
Pub date: 9/25/12.
This novel "puts you back in touch with your childhood self without condescending to your adult self."
I wasn't quick enough to grab a copy of this, and I ducked out early to get the other books so I missed most of what Lauren said, sadly. Next year I'm cloning myself so I can be two places at the same time!
I left the Buzz Panel with a restored sense of enthusiasm and energy. It was the highlight of the day!

Thanks for sharing! I was fortunate enough to go to BEA a few years ago, loved it, and now live vicariously through other people's reports. Plus, everyone loves getting new book recommendations, no matter how long their to-be-read lists are.

I read about IN THE SHADOW OF THE BANYON somewhere else and put it on my TBR list right away. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

Spb Pocket Plus 2.0 review
Posted on 12-May-2004 06:00
Darryl Burling
Filed under:
Windows Mobile Pocket PC
When I first started using a Pocket PC in 2000, I was ignorant of all the third party software that was available. It wasn't until 2002, when I purchased an iPAQ h3970 that I started looking around for software to add to my devices... Around this time I came across Battery Pack. Rather than having to make up to three or four taps to start an application, I could launch any application in a single click. After a while I started having what I can only call anomalies. Strange things happened on my device and it was hard to know why these anomalies happened. In addition, the device seemed slower and less stable. Thus I started looking around at alternative launchers and battery meters.
Eventually I came across Pocket Plus just before Windows Mobile 2003 was released last year. Upon uninstalling Battery Pack and installing Pocket Plus, I noticed some improvement in the stability and performance of my device. I purchased a copy and never looked back. Recently I was given the chance to review the new version of Pocket Plus. While I normally don't like trying pre release software (unless I write it), SPB has a reputation for quality and a long release cycle, so I knew that I would be safe, therefore I jumped at the chance.
I have to say though, at this stage I was wondering "what possible point can there be to putting out an upgrade?" In my mind, I started to believe that this was simply an arbitrary release by Spb Software House that is designed to extract more money from existing customers. Now don't get me wrong, if there are valid features that are worth my money, I have no problem with paying for the update, however, where there are no additional features, I'd sometimes rather leave it. But then there's bit of me that hates not having the latest version
For this review, I've focused on what I believe to be the biggest features in Pocket Plus - the launcher and the close menu. Pocket Plus 2.0 also has the ability to handle zip files automatically inside the file explorer, have multiple windows in Pocket Internet Explorer, format storage cards, view file properties and a number of other smaller bonuses. As much as I like these other bonuses, I'm not a big Pocket Internet Explorer user and I tend to use Resco explorer as my default explorer anyway and Resco explorer is so much better than the standard file explorer even with the ability to handle zip files etc - I haven't really used these features.
Pocket Plus is delivered in a desktop installer package which is the standard for most software on Pocket PC. I ran the installer on my desktop and followed the prompts. A key difference between most software installs and the Pocket Plus install is that it offers you the opportunity to install the software in trial mode or enter your license key. Entering the license key at this stage prevents the trial version from being installed completely, so you only ever get the full version installed. This is useful as you'll see in a moment.
Having had Pocket Plus 1.6 installed already, I was curious to see what my existing install would look like after the upgrade. I had set up my today screen carefully after much time and was not keen on having to reset it back the way I liked it.
The installer sent the cab file to my iPAQ h4150 and the install went without a hitch, as did the required soft reset. Nice. Spb Software have made a bunch of themes available from their web site which I downloaded and installed as well. Make sure you do this. It's worth it!
First Impressions
After the application was installed, the today screen was much the same as before, except that there were now a few tabs and a funny pattern at the top of the screen. All my existing settings had been left intact. The icons looked similar but not identical; however, apart from this there did not appear to be much difference.
I was not at this stage sure what the pattern at the top of the screen was, and initially I thought it was some sort of screen artifact that amounted to a bug.
I tapped on the (upgraded) Pocket Plus icon on the today screen, as I always have to change the settings and was greeted with two additional icons - the Taskbar Battery Indicator and the File explorer settings. Putting two and two together, I worked out that the funny pattern at the top of the screen was a battery indicator.
The battery indicator is confusing at first. I expected the drainage to drain from left to right (don't ask me why), but instead it went from right to left. Once you figure it out, it is OK. Will I keep it there? Don't know. You have the option of turning it off completely (which is what I did with Battery Pack) or making it bigger.... why you'd want to I don't know, but the option is there if you want it. Personally I like a clean program bar - or at least all indicators conforming to the standard Microsoft format of white. In this respect the Pocket Plus indicator is less intrusive than the Battery Pack icon and it also gives a better reading.
Tabs have never been one of my home page joys. They take up valuable real estate and in my experience have cluttered things up and made things harder to get at. So I was not thrilled about seeing the tabs in Pocket Plus at first. My opinion has changed somewhat since I started using it. Tabs are useful for hiding those apps you don't use often, however, there is an extra tap to get to them. The other nice thing is that the tabs in Pocket Plus 2.0 don't take up much room. Pocket Plus allows you to have up to five tabs and to customize what is in each tab.
By default it installs three tabs. They are called Main, Connect and System. The main tab initially is little more than a status bar with the battery, storage, backlight and memory indicators and one or two other buttons.
Let's face it; the most critical part of Pocket Plus is the launcher, followed closely by the close button/task manager. All the other features are nice to have, but I can live without them. Your mileage may vary.
The launcher simply gives you the ability to put shortcuts to applications on the today screen for quick and simple access. In Pocket Plus 2.0 the launcher has been considerably upgraded.
Firstly the today items now give feedback when tapped. When you tapped an icon in older versions, you simply waited for the app to launch. On come apps that took longer to start, sometimes you wondered if you'd tapped it and you tapped it again. This can cause problems with some applications (especially .Net apps it seems). In 2.0 they take on a depressed look much like the buttons in Microsoft office when you mouse over them, but a little more subtle. This is a huge improvement and I know it is one of the pet peeves of some who chose Battery Pack or another launcher over Pocket Plus in the past.
The second improvement is the third party helpers that are included now. Like the "other" launchers, you can now setup an Icon for turning the device off and resetting the device. But wait - that's not all, you can also add icons for adjusting the volume up and down (both buttons are available) or looping the volume (meaning it gets to the loudest setting then loops to the quietest setting). There is similar buttons for the backlight (up and down and loop) and the today theme loop (again, more in a moment).
Thirdly, you can now drag and drop your icons into place! If there were no other improvements, this would be enough for me! Not only can you drag and drop them between tabs (very cool!) but you can drag them anywhere in the Pocket Plus section of the screen. When I first discovered this - I created a new tab (you can simply tap and hold and tap new tab) and threw the less used icons in there. This worked fine, but after I did a hard reset I stuck with the default tabs and simply threw the networking related apps (e.g. PocketWiNc) under the connect tab. This has worked out OK so far and is probably the way I'll leave it.
Fourthly, you can have various sized indicator icons. There appears to be three sizes to choose, however, the icons for the indicators are sized based on the theme. So if you like them small - get a theme that has small ones in it, if you want them big, choose a theme with bigger ones - more on this in the themes section. To change the icon size for an application icon, tap and hold the icon and choose "Large Icon" to set it.
Fifthly there is now a very functional tap and hold menu that has some useful features. The top half of the menu seems to be consistent between all the icons as does the remove item option, however, the others are context sensitive. For the indicators you get the options that used to be there for the old versions of Pocket Plus, e.g. the memory indicator gives the option of free program memory, free storage or total free. On program icons, you can select large icon or change icon. The image above displays a theme with small indicator icons. I've also changed the icon for BOnTime to Large Icon.
Sixth, you can now put links to documents directly on your today screen. Handy if you happen to be writing a book (or review) that you want to get to frequently
Seventh, the method of selecting the items for the tabs is considerably more powerful. The old system was essentially a simple list of applications and settings icons that could be selected. The new list is actually six categories of shortcuts. They are indicators, programs, my documents, system, settings and custom. The indicators are the battery, memory, etc. Programs are all the applications installed on the device (as per the programs menu). My documents is any file in your my documents folder. System includes the soft reset, power off, screen toggle (yes - another nice to have feature) and volume etc. The settings list is the same list as that found by tapping Start -> Settings. Custom is any shortcut to any file or folder on your system. This is a great way of adding access to a project folder or some other location on your device that you access frequently.
Finally, you can change the margin and even whether the Pocket Plus icon appears on the today screen. Nice touch that means you can squeeze all you can on the front page. Just be careful as this can change some of the boundaries of where some of the icons can go.
Up, down and all around (or themes)
This up/down/loop theme button is one that puzzled me at first - until the hard reset. When I did the hard reset and installed Pocket Plus again (note that no registration key was required due to the install scheme above), I noticed an icon that represented a house with an up/down arrow on it - the theme loop button.
To figure out what it was, I tapped it and was surprised to see that the today theme was changed. "Cool!" I thought. Then I noticed that not only had the today theme changed, but the entire look of Pocket Plus had changed too! The battery, memory, backlight and storage indicators were now completely different images. I tapped again - they changed again. About this point I was getting pretty excited by the level of customization that was becoming apparent (yes I live in a sad, sad little world, where little pictures get me warm and fuzzy). So the themes that I downloaded at the beginning are not only normal themes, but they customize the look of Pocket Plus as well.
The only annoyance of the theme based indicator icons is that the theme cannot contain both large and small icons for the indicator icons - you will need to select a different theme to get smaller/larger indicator icons. However, in the Pocket Plus settings you can change the "appearance" of the indicator icons by setting them to follow the original theme or "always use current indicators from theme
". This setting is confusing. The "follow original theme" setting actually means to change the icons to the default theme icons. Conversely the "Always use current indicators from theme
" means to keep the theme icons from the current theme as you change them. This solution works around the issue of theme icon sizes, but means that the indicators may not always match the rest of the theme.
Note the picture below has room for an extra item with the absence of the Pocket Plus icon. The trade off of course is that the settings are slightly harder to get to - however you can put the Pocket Plus icon where ever you like - which more than makes up for this. This means you can hide it somewhere more appropriate - like the system tab
Close Button and Task switcher
Task switchers are the topic of much debate. Having been a user of Wisbar and Wisbar advance in the past, I do like to have a nice task switcher. Some of the issues I've heard people complain about with Pocket Plus's task switcher include the tap and hold to get it to come up and the restriction on what options you have in the menu.
Well it seems Spb Software House heard these requests and have completely overhauled the close button / task switcher. By default the old functionality is still there, with the nice addition of the running icons now having their program application next to them.
However, when you dig into the settings, you have the ability to completely change the behavior of the close button - with some trade offs.
Rather than being forced into the tap and hold option, you can now set the task menu to appear either after a tap and hold or by using a gesture. As far as Pocket Plus is concerned a gesture is tapping and dragging the stylus from the close button toward the middle of the screen. It can be done quickly and does not need to go right to the center of the screen. Thus it is much like "stroking" the close button. This also means that you can set the tap and hold action to minimize or close the application based on your preferences. When I first saw this customization, I thought it would be useful, but when I tried it I found it tricky to get used to the change quickly and so dumped it and went back to the default. If you are a Wisbar user, you may not have the same issues, and may find it easy to get used to, but coming from the old version of Pocket Plus, I found it hard to get used to in a short time.
The other major improvement in the task switcher is the ability to add to or remove items from the menu. There are a considerable number of options here, essentially all the items in the system category can be added to the task manager menu - or removed depending on what you like.
The old options are still there - the exceptions still work as does the minimize or close option when tapping the big X that is not what it should be.
But wait that's not all...
Other nice features that are nifty and new include the ability to backup and restore settings. These settings can then be given to a colleague or saved to an SD card for restoring later. You could also use these to test some settings then revert back to a setting you liked quickly.
SPB Pocket Plus 2.0 is easily the best launcher application I've tried. It's got all the bells and whistles of the competition and then some - leaving little to be desired. In fact, I can't think of anything that I'd like to see added to the application at all!
Pocket Plus not only catches up to the competition in terms of features, but surpasses it in every way. If you are in the market for a launcher application - you don't need to look any further than Pocket Plus. If you're feeling stung by the recent furor around Battery Pack - you should seriously consider this application. Would I upgrade from a previous version of Pocket Plus? In a flash!
Fixes all the "niggles" with previous versions

Looking to Delay Financial Independence?
Are you looking to delay financial independence by a few years? If so, simply purchase mutual funds with high fees (high Management Expense Ratios - MER).
Michael James provides an excellent example of how many extra years of work is required when you invest in high fee mutual funds. Take a look at Michael's example here:
"So, if Katie manages to keep her expenses down to 0.2% per year (including MERs, commissions, and spreads) using inexpensive index ETFs and trading infrequently, her projected retirement age is 61. If she invests in the Investors Canadian Growth Fund with total fund costs of 3.02% per year, Katie's projected retirement age is 75. That's 14 extra years of work to pay the higher fees."
You can read the complete blog post here, and also view the Retirement Age graph. When your investing costs increase, you end up working longer before you can reach financial independence. The lesson here is to keep your investing costs down. I prefer not to pay any MERs, and instead invest in quality dividend paying stocks when they are undervalued.

|About this Recording
8.572089 - WITT, F.: Symphony in C Major, "Jena" / Flute Concerto in G Major / Symphony in A Major (P. Gallois, Sinfonia Finlandia Jyvaskyla)
Friedrich Witt (1770–1836)
Whatever his local reputation might have been in his own day, the German composer and cellist Friedrich Witt would have been forgotten by posterity, but for the accident of a misattribution of his Symphony in C major to Beethoven, whose name appeared on two of the surviving parts. It was in 1909 that Fritz Stein, Musical Director of the University of Jena, found, among the papers of the Academic Concerts there, the complete parts of a Symphony in C. On the second violin part was written 'par Louis van Beethoven' and on the cello part 'Symphonie von Beethoven', leading, in the absence of any title page, to the attribution of the symphony to the young Beethoven. This seemed to correspond to Beethoven's own suggestion that he had once attempted a Symphony in C major on the model of Haydn's Symphony No. 97, a work to which Witt's symphony has some resemblance. Matters were put to rights when Robbins Landon found the parts for the symphony in the Abbey at Göttweig, duly attributed to Witt, whose authorship has generally remained undisputed since then.
Friedrich Witt was born in 1770 at Niederstetten, the son of a cantor and court clerk. In the late 1780s he entered the service of the court of Oettingen-Wallerstein as a cellist, taking composition lessons there with Antonio Rosetti (Anton Rösler), who was then Court Kapellmeister. It was in 1792 or 1793 that Haydn sent four of his new London Symphonies, Nos. 93, 96, 97 and 98, to Wallerstein, thus providing Witt with a pattern for his own work, notably the so-called Jena Symphony. Witt undertook concert tours in 1793 and 1794 in Thuringia and to the courts at Ludwigslust and Potsdam with the clarinettist Franz Joseph Beer, and in 1796 they went to Vienna, where Beer played a clarinet concerto written for him by Witt and one of the latter's symphonies was played at the Augarten. There was no return to Wallerstein. In 1802, after the success of his oratorio Der leidende Heiland (The Suffering Saviour), Witt entered the service of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg as Kapellmeister. The princedom was secularised in 1803, with the former reigning Prince continuing as Bishop, while from 1806 to 1814 the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany ruled what was now a Grand Duchy, before Würzburg became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. These changes affected the music of the city, with the court chapel finally dissolved in 1814. From 1806 to 1808 Witt served as director of music at the Würzburg Theatre, for which he provided operas, now largely lost. He left Würzburg in 1824 and during his later years served for a time as a court composer of Prince Carl Friedrich zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg.
Witt's Symphony in C major dates from before 1796 and presumably after 1792 or early 1793, when Haydn's new symphonies became available at Wallerstein. The symphony is scored for a flute, pairs of oboes, bassoons, horns, trumpets and timpani, with strings. It opens with an Adagio introduction, followed by a sonata-form movement, with the exposition repeated and followed by a short development section, before the recapitulation. The F major slow movement, marked Adagio cantabile, is in 6/8, and, following the key-pattern of Haydn's Symphony No. 97, has a middle section in F minor. The original key returns for the third movement, a Minuet and Trio, and is capped by an Allegro finale in which the wind instruments are treated with some independence.
The Symphony in A major dates from about 1790 and is scored for flute, pairs of oboes, bassoons and horns, and strings. It opens with a 16-bar Adagio introduction. The sonata-form Allegro vivace that follows entrusts the first subject to the strings. The repeated exposition leads to a relatively short development and a recapitulation. The second movement is a Minuet and Trio, the first violin melody of the latter doubled at the octave by the bassoon. The slow movement that follows, marked Andante, is in D major, the principal theme given first to the strings, and returning in varied figuration, as the movement progresses. The symphony ends with a sonata-form movement, an opera buffa finale, the exposition duly repeated, to be followed by a short development and the due return of the thematic material in recapitulation.
Witt's Flute Concerto in G major, Op. 8, was published by Breitkopf und Härtel in Leipzig in 1806, and demands considerable virtuosity from the soloist. It is scored for pairs of oboes, bassoons, horns, trumpets and timpani, with strings. The concerto starts with an orchestral exposition, introducing two contrasting subjects, followed by the entry of the solo flute with an elaborate first subject, leading to an A major secondary theme and material that offers every chance for technical display. The slow movement is a D major Adagio cantabile, introduced by the chords of bassoons and horns, accompanied by the plucked notes of cellos and double basses. The strings follow, leading to the first solo entry. The final Rondo entrusts the lively principal theme to the soloist. Contrasting episodes include a section in C major, leading to an E major Polonoise (sic) which explores the key of E minor, before the final return of the principal theme and the closing coda.
