Several major themes run through Dawson's work, including the interdependence of history and sociology; the need to go beyond nationalist history toward a history of the entire process of cultural development; the need to study not abstract Man but particular men in their local relations, including their relations with the land; a trenchant critique of urban industrialism, rootless cosmopolitanism, and bourgeois culture; and a firm conviction of the radically destructive character of cultural imperialism. But perhaps the most unique aspect of Dawson's historiography was its unequivocal insistence on the determinative importance of religion in shaping and sustaining civilizations.
Religion, Dawson firmly believed, is the great creative force in any culture, and the loss of a society's historic religion therefore portends a process of social dissolution. For this reason Dawson concluded that Western society must find a way to revitalize its spiritual life if it is to avoid irreversible decay. Progress, the real religion of modernity, is insufficient to sustain cultural health. And an ahistorical, secularized Christianity is an oxymoron, a pseudo-religion only nominally related to the historical religion of the West.
Dawson held that the hope of the present age lay in the reconciliation of the religious tradition of Christianity with the intellectual tradition of humanism and the new knowledge about man and nature provided by modern science. Dynamics of World History shows that though such a task may be difficult, it is not impossible.
"Dynamics of World History is a beautifully thought out selection from over four decades. . . . The title neatly captures another dimension of the author's thinking. For Dawson, the cultural and particularly the religious element was the most dynamic part of human history."— Weekly Standard
"For breadth of knowledge and lucidity of style [Dawson] has few rivals."— New York Times Book Review
"This book, arguably the finest and most definitive summary of his thought, is recommended without the slightest reservation to historians, philosophers, artists, theologians, and lovers of letters."— Touchstone

I love this mini Titan bracelet by Vita Fede, definitely going to buy the rose gold version in the future!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

One word- OBSESSED
I own half a dozen Vita Fede bracelets because I love the simplicity of the design (the clean lines), the quality of their products, and the weight of the bracelet (feels nice heavy). They look great stacked together, or when worn with other bracelets. I own both the original titan as well as the minis (I have three!) and definitely prefer the minis to the original sized titan bracelet, just because the minis make my wrist look more dainty and the bigger titan head of the original makes my wrist look bigger/ chunkier than it actually is. Get these in different finishes, you'll love them!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Great for Small Wrists
I have very small wrists and usually bracelets fly off of my hands. The Mini Titan Bracelet is an excellent purchase for anyone with skinny wrists. The quality of the piece is durable. The bracelet stays in place, as it is slightly oval. Will definitely be buying more from this designer!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Stunner of a bracelet
The Mini Titan is such a well-made bracelet, and an incredibly versatile/stackable style! I love that the hinge allows for easy removal, and a smaller bracelet circumference. The silver plating is ultra shiny and beautiful.
I have 15cm wrists, and this size actually works pretty well on me! I purchased the rose gold version as well, and love them both.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Sleek perfection
Absolutely gorgeous design. Impeccable quality and craftsmanship. Will be buying more bracelets shortly.

I grew up in a place where the sun shone every day from May through October. These sun-drenched days were the happiest times of my life.
But in winter a dense fog would often blanket my hometown for weeks at a time, leaving the world gray and featureless and leaving me down and dreary. These seasons were so definite, so unchanging, that I just came to believe that summer was happy and winter was sad.
No wonder, then, that I've always had a personal fascination with winter depression, known more commonly as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.
About 15% of the U.S. population experiences the problematic rhythmic change of the seasons. For these individuals, time itself is a stressor, and winter is often a season of despair.
Most of these people who find the season a downer are able to power through the gray days and get by. But about 5% of the population becomes so impaired every winter that they meet the criteria for SAD.
Although everyone is a little different when it comes to how they experience depression, SAD tends to follow a remarkably stereotyped pattern.
Symptoms usually start in the fall as the days shorten. Interestingly, for most people feeling depressed is not what comes first. Rather, people tend to become tired, to sleep more and to eat more -- especially carbohydrates -- and to gain weight as a result.
They have increasing difficulty getting up in the morning and remaining interested in the things around them. Their ability to remember things and to concentrate diminishes. Only as winter bears down in earnest do sadness, despair and other classic emotional symptoms of depression take hold.
Then, as the days lengthen and spring approaches, the symptoms began to evaporate in reverse order, with sadness/despair lifting first and sleep and appetite changes normalizing later.
Many people with SAD experience normal moods from spring through fall, although some will actually become euphoric in spring, a condition known technically as "hypomania." This tendency for SAD sufferers to experience elevated moods during sunny times of the year has led some researchers to see SAD as a variant of bipolar disorder, or manic depression.

Winds knock out power to thousands in city, suburbs
Updated: November 11, 2012 3:44PM
CHICAGO — Throughout the Chicago area Sunday afternoon, thousands of homes and businesses have had their power knocked out, as high winds move through the area, disrupting and in some instances knocking down power lines.
Power outages throughout the Southwest Side and south suburbs Sunday have left nearly 8,000 homes and businesses without power, according to ComEd.
Communities being affected include Burbank, Chicago Ridge, Country Club Hills, Evergreen Park, Homer Glen, Homewood, Midlothian, Oak Forest and Orland Park, according to the utility's website.
Southland communities say their public works crews are also responding to reports of downed power lines due to high winds. In some cases, ComEd is telling communities it may take up to two hours to respond to downed lines as it is deploying resources to multiple outages in the Chicago area.
Separately, the Orland Fire Protection District and Tinley Park firefighters responded to a wind-fueled grass fire north of Interstate 80 along the east side of 80th Avenue. Police temporarily closed 80th Avenue to traffic.
Thousands were without power in other parts of the metropolitan area Sunday afternoon, as well.
As of about 3:20 p.m., in the Hinsdale and Westmont area, about 2,600 were without power, according to ComEd's website. In the Elmwood Park area, about 845 were without power and in the North Riverside area about 400 were without power. In north suburban Northbrook, about 1,000 were without power, according to ComEd.


text: Farming is a way of life for thousands of people across the world. Many people farm to provide food for their own families. There are also thousands of people who farm to earn their incomes. There are many different aspect of farming. Some people grow crops such as corn, soy beans, potatoes, and other vegetables and fruits. Other people raise cattle, pigs, and other animals to produce food, milk, and other byproducts. Without farmers, many people across the world would starve. One of the most important things about farming is the equipment that is used. There are many different kinds of farming supplies that are used by farmers. These farming supplies include tractors, tillers, milking machines, and more. Without this equipment farmers would be forced to do all the tasks by hand which would take precious time away from other tasks that need to be completed. The most common and useful equipment a farmer can own is the tractor. There are many different sizes and styles of tractors. Large tractors are useful for larger areas of farm land. Small tractors are best used for small areas of land that are used for farming. Another type of tractor that is commonly used is the lawn tractor. Lawn tractors are also referred to as riding lawn mowers. They are most commonly used to cut grass but can be used for other jobs as well.

I teach a k-5 self-contained classroom for children with special needs. It's very much like the old one room schoolhouse. I taught a resource classroom from 1999-2004. I've been in my one room schoolhouse since 2004. I am privileged to teach in an arts integrated, Title I school. We use the arts to teach the core academic standards.
Arts integration is used to meet the needs of all learners in my classroom.
In 2009 I received the Molly Pratt Spirit Award for arts integration in my classroom. I have also been voted Teacher of the Year at my school in 2004, 2008, and 2012 by my peers.
I graduated from East Tennessee State University in 1999 with a degree in modified and comprehensive special education.

I thougt it has to do with the "Cache contents" setting, but it happens allways (chcked or unchecked). Sometimes, if I select tracks from another record and then come back to the previous, then I can get de "All biographies" pannel visble. Is there a way of fixing this.Thank you.

I dont know why you are not addressing it.Yo it's not the MR script which is the problem. Not sure but I think the a lot of the skin installers are not setup to work with the new directory structure. Instead of installing to:C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Scripts\MonkeyRok\skinsthey should now be installing to:C:\Users\Dana\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\MonkeyRok\skinsI've been having the same problem w/most MR skins for a while now. For instance this one: G-Monkey skin for MR(http://www.mediamonkey.com/addon_system ... roove.mmip) installs fine, but this one: M-Plexx skin for MR (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2nannqg9y5w2rco) does not.In order to make the other skins work all you have to do is open the .mmip installer file with WinRar, extract all of the files to your desktop, drop the images folder into the other folder which is probably the same name as the skin, if there is no other folder create one and name it the same as the skin (basically you don't need the install, uninstall or app icon files), then paste that folder into the correct directory:C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\MonkeyRok\skins

There was a sense of déjà vu at UFC 157 on a night fight fans saw something for the first time.
It was a history-making night as women competed inside Ultimate Fighting Championship's octagon for the first time. Not only were Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche on Saturday's card in front of a sold-out crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., they were in the main event slot with Rousey's bantamweight title on the line.
But not everything about the night was new. Much of it was familiar – painfully familiar, in fact, for Carmouche. Rousey – the trash-talking, arm-snapping phenom – starting her evening to the strains of Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation,' and then finishing it with the most feared submission hold in mixed martial arts.
Rousey (7-0), who leading up to the fight was profiled by media outlets ranging from the New York Times to HBO, ESPN to Forbes, let her actions do the talking on Saturday. After surviving the biggest scare of her pro career, the 2008 Olympic judo bronze medallist locked in an armbar to submit Carmouche at 4:49 of the first round and retain her UFC championship.
The media blitz was overwhelming at times, admitted Rousey, but it never distracted her from the big picture.
"It was different but there's no amount of press that can save these girls from me," said Rousey (7-0).
"I feel like we really did live up to the hype of all of it."
For years, UFC president Dana White insisted that a UFC women's division wasn't happening. He was intrigued by Gina Carano, and considered bringing her into UFC's sister promotion World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) a half-decade ago, but a deal was never done.
Instead, UFC watched as the likes of Carano, Julie Kedzie, Marloes Coenen, Miesha Tate, Sarah Kaufman, Cris Santos and more turned heads competing for promotions such as Elite XC and Strikeforce. But when the charismatic Rousey came upon the scene, going from unknown rookie to world champion in 12 months, White was sold. He makes no bones about it: Rousey was the spark for the company to create the women's division.
A beauty outside the arena, she's a beast inside the cage.
White looks at her and sees a transcendent superstar. The media storm in the lead-up to UFC 157, and her performance against Carmouche, confirmed his feelings. White even poked fun at himself for his past comments about how women would never compete in UFC.
"Those two went in and delivered tonight," White said at the post-fight press conference.
"I knew it deserved to be the main event … I felt this thing was going to be big."
The atmosphere in front of 15,525 fans was electric as Rousey charged after Carmouche in the opening seconds, looking for a quick tie-up and finish. But Carmouche scrambled away from Rousey, quickly took her back and looked for a submission. For those fleeting moments, time slowed down as the sold-out crowd collectively held its breath while at the same time roaring as a gigantic upset suddenly seemed possible. Carmouche locked in a neck crank, riding Rousey like a backpack, squeezing her as tight as she could, before Rousey managed to escape.
"That was the most vulnerable a position I've been in so far in my career. That was pretty tight, that neck crank, and I was very happy to get out of it," said Rousey, noting that the crossface by Carmouche pushed her mouthguard out and Carmouche's forearm against her teeth. Carmouche had teeth marks in her arm following the bout, which both women said was incidental.
"I wasn't worried but I was very aware of the severity of the situation," Rousey said of the submission attempt.
Carmouche said she thought she had Rousey "but she's the champion for a reason.
"I had that neck crank very tight, but I had the choke across her mouth and couldn't get it to her neck," said Carmouche (8-2), the former Marine and first openly gay fighter in UFC.
"You make a mistake. It turns things around."
Indeed it did. As quickly as her title reign was in jeopardy, Rousey seized control on the mat and moved into position for her famed finisher. As the seconds ticked away on the round, Rousey didn't let Carmouche get away. She worked from different angles to grasp Carmouche's right arm, finally extending the limb and forcing a tap out. It was the seventh armbar submission in seven professional fights for Rousey, all of which have ended in the first round.
"That's the one thing I had to learn in MMA is be patient and take my time," said Rousey.
"That time I kept a very clear head and was trying to do it perfectly on the first try."
The fight over, both women had a moment to exhale and appreciate the moment they were a part of.
"This is a monumental mark in history," said Carmouche.
"This isn't the highlight of my career. So far, maybe, but the highlight is going to be when I win some fights in the UFC and come back for the title."
Rousey was mobbed by her friends and family backstage, grinning widely after spending the days leading up to fight night serious and focused.
"I was actually less nervous walking out than I was for some of my earlier fights. I felt like the UFC champion and I know how hard I am working," she said.
"I'm honoured to be a part of it … It might take a while for it to really sink in."
Rousey was looking forward to some quiet time in the coming days, falling off the grid and not talking about herself at all. She might even find the energy to "run around and do a little dance," she added with a laugh.
"But right now, I'm too tired."
In other pay-per-view matches at UFC 157:
* Elusive as ever, former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida (19-3) used his defence and elusiveness to frustrate Dan Henderson (29-9) on his way to a split-decision victory in the co-main event.
Two judges scored the fight 29-28 for Machida, while the third gave the same score to Henderson.
With the win, Machida may have secured another title shot. UFC president Dana White said earlier this week that the match would determine the division's next No. 1 contender.
"My strategy for tonight was keep the fight standing up and I think I got it," said Machida.
* Showing that he remains in the bantamweight title mix, Urijah Faber (27-6) bounced back from an interim title loss last summer to Renan Barao to dominate Canadian mixed martial arts pioneer Ivan Menjivar (25-10).
Scoring big on the mat, Faber pounced when Menjivar got to his feet, riding him like a backpack before locking in a rear naked choke for the submission at 4:34 of the first round.
"Of course I want the title. I still think I will get the UFC belt, and tonight was about proving that's still in my future," said Faber. "All I know is that I had something to prove tonight and I am ready to keep on proving it until I get back up there."
* Court McGee (14-3) made his debut in the welterweight division a successful one, moving down from middleweight to beat Josh Neer (33-13-1) via unanimous decision. All three judges scored the match 30-27.
* Returning to UFC for the first time since 2004, Robbie Lawler (20-9, 1 NC) looked like he never left, beating former title contender Josh Koscheck (19-7) via TKO at 3:57 of the first round in a welterweight bout.
Lawler landed a left hook that rocked Koscheck and finished with a half-dozen unanswered shots before referee Herb Dean stopped the match at 3:57 of the first round.
"I was raining down hard shots. He was taking a beating," said Lawler, who last fought for the promotion at UFC 50. "He wasn't coming back."
In preliminary matches at UFC 157:
* Staying cautious against an opponent with notoriously heavy hands, Brendan Schaub (10-3) used his wrestling to control his heavyweight match against Lavar Johnson (17-7), on his way to 30-27 scores from all three judges.
"I had to win tonight. The last two fights I lost, I fought with my guts rather than my brains but tonight I needed to win this, so I used my brain," said Schaub.
"I know people were expecting a slugfest but I've been working hard on my (Brazilian jiu jitsu) and thought I could sub him. At one point he was talking to me on the ground saying, 'Come on, dog, let's stand and give the fans a show,' and I said, 'Sorry, bro, I gotta win this fight,' and he said, 'I hear ya.' "
* Michael Chiesa (9-0), looking to break into the upper echelon of the lightweight division, submitted Anton Kuivanen (17-6) with a rear naked choke at 2:29 of the second round.
"We knew he'd go for the KO early and then we'd take over in the second and that's what happened. Everyone has a go-to move and I'm just good at taking backs and then choking guys out," said Chiesa.
* In a match in which both fighters came close to finishing and being finished, Dennis Bermudez (11-3) squeaked out a split decision over Matt Grice (15-5) in a featherweight contest.
All three judges scored the match 29-28, with Bermudez narrowly getting the nod.
"That was insane. Somewhere around the second round I woke up and thought, 'Oh, I'm in a fight, I think I am in California somewhere,' " said Bermudez. "That was an honor to fight that guy."
Added Grice: "I don't feel too bad. I wanted to win but I think the fans are going to remember that fight and, maybe, they will get to see it again someday."
* Rebounding from a loss at UFC 154 last November, London, Ont. native Sam Stout (20-8-1) grinded out a split decision over Carlos Fodor (7-3) in a lightweight match.
All three judges scored the bout 29-28, with two giving the nod to Stout thanks to strong mat work in the first round and solid body work throughout.
"I thought I won but it was close. It was a tough, hard three rounds and you never know when you are in there what the judges are looking for - or what they are seeing in there," said Stout.
"I didn't want two losses in a row, for sure. I tried to show more (Brazilian jiu jitsu). I've been training BJJ for 10 years but never show it and I wanted to show I'm a total MMA fighter."
The judges were split on the entire fight: one gave Stout the first and third rounds, the second gave Stout the first and second, while the third gave the second and third to Fodor.
*With an unorthodox leg lock that appeared to pop the left hamstring of Brock Jardine (10-2), Kenny Robertson (12-2) scored a submission win at 2:57 of the first round in their welterweight contest.
"Sometime you gotta go with what you are handed. He was on top of me but didn't have a great posture. I saw the opening, so I grabbed his leg and hyper-extended it and he verbally submitted," said Robertson. "I'll take it. It is a first-round win in the UFC."
* In a match-up between two veterans of The Ultimate Fighter Season 16, Neil Magny (8-2) beat Jon Manley (7-3) via unanimous decision in a welterweight contest.
The judges scored the match 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28.
"As soon as I started hitting him, I was like, 'Oh, I know this, this is familiar,' and I got into it," said Magny, who was making his official UFC debut. "Then it was just another fight."
* Nah-Shon Burrell (9-2) earned a unanimous decision over Yuri Villefort (6-2) in a highly-entertaining welterweight match between two fighters making their UFC debuts.
Two judges scored the match 29-28, while the third had it 30-27, all in favour of Burrell.
"I was nervous walking out, I admit that. When you see that UFC octagon in front of you walking out, it hits you … but I went out and fought my heart out," said Burrell.
FIGHT NOTES: According to White, 15,525 fans paid a live gate of $1.4 million … Four fighters received $50,000 bonus cheques: Lawler for knockout of the night, Robertson for submission of the night, and Prince and Bermudez for fight of the night.

As of January 1, 2004, FMSHs DEVAR service replaced the CCRDA (Cooperative Center for Research and Diffusion in Anthropology), created by Jean-Luc Lory of the CNRS in 1981 with the goal of experimenting with new techniques for promoting and diffusing research in the social and human sciences.
DEVARs goal is to reach not only specialists but also a much wider audience (the general public, cultural and educational settings, businesses, private experts, etc.) by going beyond traditional methods of diffusing scientific knowledge and branching out into exhibitions, films, multimedia productions, as well as new communications technologies.
Following the success of these initiatives, FMSH incorporated FMSH-DEVAR as a service of the Fondation in 1990. Since then, FMSH-DEVAR has focused on extensive programs for promoting research in partnership with various French ministries (Higher Learning and Research, Foreign and European Affairs, Culture and Communication, Tourism), the Center for Strategic Analysis, as well as with the European Commission, and major manufacturing companies.

These balloons can be filled with a helium balloon pump, allowing each child to have their own Dora balloon. While it sounds simple, kids are guaranteed to be fighting over getting a Dora balloon in their favorite color. To make taking birthday pictures even more fun for kids, also consider turning one of your walls into a fun Dora scene. Taking pictures and putting gifts by a Dora the Explorer scene setting is a great way to emerge kids into Dora's world at your birthday party.

Miami Gliders' crackerjack aviators bring a wealth of experience to an air-tripping array of glider rides in addition to other airborne adventures. During 40- to 50-sky-spanning minutes, gliders traverse a lush panorama of Florida's scenic vistas as they gently descend from an Icarus-melting height of 5,280 feet. Guided by a skilled pilot who melds an airy blend of telekinesis and earthly physics to keep afloat, passengers indulge peepers with VIP views of the Everglades, Redlands, and Biscayne National Park. Bring your own camera or take advantage of the aircraft's recording device, which grants guests striking snapshots from the outside of the glider, capturing the area's picturesque landscapes and Dadaist crop signs.
A two-day pass aboard the Hop On Hop Off Tour provides riders with accessible transit and the cranial expansion of local knowledge. Throughout the route, a narration crafted by expert locals will keep you up to speed on where you are, where you are going, and where to direct your photographic and human irises. Non-English-speaking guests or bilingually curious natives can tune in to multilingual headsets along the ride. In addition to directing rubberneckers, the local good-times gurus at Gray Line lead wide-eyed wonderers into cultural hotbeds and fashionable storefronts. Riders who want to simply sink into the sun-soaked sand can browse the beach buffet out their window, hopping off when the bus reaches a towel-worthy strip.
On the sidewalk outside the Wolfsonian's sprawling white walls, six people crane their necks to take in the building's ornate golden detailing as their guide chats animatedly about Miami's penchant for art deco architecture. The balmy breeze that's familiar to the city follows the group as they wend along Lincoln Road, propelling them into an area restaurant for a relaxed meal whipped up by some of the city's finest chefs. This tour of South Beach, part of a trio of Miami art, architecture, and culinary tours, enables guests to experience the city's bountiful cultural offerings through the anecdotes and historical tidbits poetry-slammed by a knowledgeable guide.
For the past three decades, the Davis Tours fleet of buses and motorcoaches have ferried tour groups to scenic locales, from the island landscapes of Key West to the killer-whale tank of the Miami Seaquarium. Their staff can plan entire custom trips, from transportation to meals, or they can simply furnish groups with a bus. The prepackaged tours, meanwhile, whisk groups through the Florida Everglades in an airboat or off to a Brazilian dinner theater show with unlimited sangria.
The passionate wildlife guides at Tours in the Glades usher nature-starved sightseers into the lush wetlands and past the stunning marine wildlife of the Everglades. Captivating facts about the Everglades' ecological and cultural significance abound, as do anecdotes about some of the birds and reptiles that call the wetlands home. All tours include the proper gear for watery odysseys and transportation into the park, thereby obviating the need to hitch rides on the backs of water-walking lizards.
Making memories nearly every day of the year, the steady-handed tour guides and pilots of Miami Flight Seeing conduct aerial surveys over more than 80 miles of Key Biscayne, Biscayne Bay, and downtown Miami. While skimming over pristine beaches and emerald-colored waters, sky tourists spot manatees, dolphins, manta rays, and other volleyball enthusiasts below. The high-winged observation craft boasts panoramic windows with virtually no obstruction, affording a clear view of all of the highlights narrated by the pilot on educational ventures. And yet, captains also know when to show restraint in their narrations; namely during the company's romantic sunset tour, which has prompted many an enviable marriage proposal.

Keep up on your power with Battery Level for Windows Phone 8
Here's an app that should excite some of you new Windows Phone 8 owners out there: Battery Level for WP8 by Alex Golesh. The first of its kind, as far as we know, the app allows you to constantly keep abreast of your battery life on your WP8 device with a simple Live Tile.
Just pin the app to your Start screen and choose one of three sizes (small, medium and doublewide) to suit your needs. The doublewide will even display the charging state (discharge or charging) in addition to the battery icon and percentage left. Oh and the app can also display a battery icon and percentage on the Lock screen. Yup, just head to Settings and choose it as one of your five options and you'll be good to go.
The app is completely free and besides a simple spelling error within the app, it's pretty slick. Even if you're not into this, you should be excited to see the kinds of things developers will be releasing soon to the Windows Phone Store for Microsoft's latest OS. We should see some really creative apps over the next few months.
Pick up Battery Level for WP8 here in the Store.

hardcoreplur says:
I want my yellow Lumia!
unstoppablekem says:
I'm waiting for mine, it comes Thursday. -_-
Ricky C says:
me too, but I'm starting to wish I ordered the white one, but it could just be sometime of subliminal advertising going on with WP Central.
unstoppablekem says:
sanien says:
Haha +1 Its all because of Dan's white one.
tilemaster says:
And I want a fuckin' wireless charger! Here in germany its not possible to buy any accessories, no chargers, no docks, nothin... dunno why...
Kristijan87 says:
At least you'll get your device soon (if you already don't have one). :( Croatia will get Lumia 920 in February, most likely. And T-Mobile Croatia is a complete biatch! Do you know what they've told me? "Hello, Kristijan, blah blah blah, next year, Q1, that's not too long of a wait, is it?" Idiots, I hate them!
tilemaster says:
oh yeah thats crap... but Q1 maybe the surface phone will be released and maybe its better than the lumia... next time nokia should release phone and accessories at the same time. Its curios, in germany you can buy the lumia since the first week of november, but no charger, and in the usa some ppl got a charger but no phone lol...but microsoft also failed so hard when they delivered the touch covers to the folks but no surface tablet m)
venetasoft says:
Buy it in Italy, not so far from you :)
lordofthereef says:
They aren't exactly all over the place here either. I haven't been able to find any accessories for the 920 anywhere in MA save a couple speck cases which, while I appreciate the effort, I have no real interest in.
ricardios says:
Was looking for something like this but gave up. Now it's finally here! This will be my first app I download when I get my WP8. Wouldn't mind paying for it
Alex Golesh says:
If you want to pay for it, I can make a paid version. Any suggestions for paid version extra features?
Patrick Maloney says:
I would pay if it could provide some indication of the amount of power consumed by individual apps.
krayziehustler says:
Would be great if it calculated remaining battery
ravi.tandon says:
Additional colors, type of cell shown, solid fill vs bars, unit change. Live tile shows time since last charge. Avg time between charges. Lot of creative options. How about power saver options etc
Adretheon says:
Would be nice to show something about how long your last charge was vs how much got charged. aside from that the other ideas sounded good.
But back to the article comment, hehe, I like this and as well plan and DLing as one of my first WP8 apps
gmantione says:
No reason... NOT to get it =P. Haha awesome though! Finally, I can think about what my battery life will be on my wp8!
Piro.Garay says:
JonnieLasVegas says:
LMAO! I know that feeling. Ordered mine early morning on the 7th. At&t are still processing the order. Haven't even shipped it out yet no clue when it arrives :/
Piro.Garay says:
Well I didn't wanna pre-order because I was thinking that the AT&T store would have them sooner... But living here in Wyoming I should have pre-ordered it.
willied says:
+1 for the reference.
FunWithDrugs says:
Omg I hate those commercials.
Paul May says:
Just installed it. Love it since I kept going to the battery saver to see what % of battery I had left.
ricardios says:
What's great is that it's probably the only one in WP8 Store. If you use Android and want something like this you'll need to decide among dozens of choices. Love how simple this looks and very practical.
Chregu says:
Battery Tile is another one and there are more.
jhoff80 says:
Two spelling mistakes in the app, not one. "Carging" and "Settins"
erzhik says:
And we care why? If the app works, who cares? Better to have a functional app with a grammatical mistake than not have an app at all.
jhoff80 says:
I'd rather have something that works AND looks professional, and not having typos is part of looking professional. And the article specifically mentioned that there is a single typo, but there are two.
But if you're happy with applications that look bad, that's on you.
Z10YkakPES says:
Did you pay for it? It affects your life in some way? No, don't like it, don't install it and stop bitching
JonnieLasVegas says:
I agree with jhoff80. It's nice to see some sense of professional pride in an app (among other things). Misspelled words in apps are pretty annoying, and far too rampant in apps and sites these days. Glad WPCentral is one of those sites that has a professional feel to it.
venetasoft says:
Grammar mistakes are nn important, but mean a poor app testing...
jetbo says:
Is it just me or is anyone else with the 920 experiencing horrible battery life compared to the 900?
JoeDizzle33 says:
Same here. Not sure what's up with it.
jetbo says:
Glad to see not just me 10 hours I was at 20 percent checking maybe 5 mins an hour
Masterz1337 says:
Yeah, mine is insanely terrible. Hoping this gets fixed soon... May need to keep my 900 with me to swap SIMs.
jposthauer says:
Mine is great. Sucks for you.
tilemaster says:
yeah same here too... i disabled email push and let it now check every 15mins that helped a very little bit i think... but battery life is incredibly short even if you are doing nothing with the phone :(
any chance that they can fix that?
david126 says:
Nothing here, 920 battery life is good
MarkTurbo says:
No battery problem here. Been using my 920 frequently all day for 8 hours so far and I'm at 85% battery left. Using LTE and Wi-Fi hotspots all day too.
bryan_05 says:
That is not believable.
MarkTurbo says:
Whether you believe it or not, it's true. Down to 80% now after 9 hours since I took it off charge.
NH3MAN says:
I am getting awesome battery life as well but I've cycled my battery about 3-4 times now. Been stuck in a hospital, with little time to sleep and have had it on playing with it constantly.
GoodThings2Life says:
It's just you playing with it more since it's new. ;)
Masterz1337 says:
I hope so, or perhaps it gets better with time, I remember being underwhelmed with the 900's battery when I got it. Speaking of which, does anyone know how to enable edge on the 920? I got into the diagnostics menu but it's different than the 900.
RussST24 says:
Works great. And nice lock screen integration.
WilliamC1972 says:
Hey guys, any info on when T Mobile will be getting there Windows 8 phones?

ejlee072006 says:
This are the kind of things wp8 should've have from the gecko...this one of the reasons im not jumping on wp8,there's rumors that lumia 930 will be skinnier,lighter,bigger screen with more color options..if i wasn't a l900 owner i will definitely jump on 920 but the fact i became a beta tester with the 900 i will definitely refused to be one again..besides wp8 apps have a long way to go...

oh no's I'll see me ending up selling the lumia and change to that surface phone lol... I love my lumia very much, but since the first time I used win8 preview I totally mutated to a microsoft fanboy xD
duoFurious says:
Rumors like that always coming around. Doubtful to see another flagship for 6 months
willied says:
"from the gecko" LOL!
shinygerbil says:
Glad I'm not the only person who noticed that O_O
trying to decide if it's some kind of postmodern joke, or genuine confusion. :D
schlubadub says:
Hahaha :P Either a mis-hearing of "get go" or auto-correct perhaps
venetasoft says:
Better U wait for wp45 in 2035, Lumia990 will have transparent body, 3000x2000 screen projector and will be installable under your eye.
Please c'mon.If U wait for next model, U will never buy anything :)

duoFurious says:
This seems like a great app. I hate touching the top all the time on my 920
AngryNil says:
Does this work in real-time, or every 30 minutes?
henilp89 says:
yes i want to know that too.. cuz in the aricle he says "..the app allows you to constantly keep abreast of your battery life..".. can anyone confirm.. they havent shipped my lumia yet :( prob will come on wednesday!
pinbak says:
It appears too be real time. While reading through these comments, I started with 74 and I went to look at the pinned tile and it was at 73 right before I typed this! :)
pinbak says:
Ok I went to check again after playing a game and viewing CNN....it must update on the 30 min rule because it was 67 after I CLICKED on it. :/
bryan_05 says:
It's definitely not real time. You have to click to update (or maybe 30 minutes).
Alex Golesh says:
Every 30 minutes or so. There is no way to mak real-time updates for 3rd part apps. Also, even if it possible, whould you like to have battery status app which helps to discharge the battery? ;)
downhillrider says:
There seems to me to be a couple to a few percentage points off. Not a big deal. Battery life so far doesn't seem to be that great. I unplugged it at noon and its 5pm and I'm at 32% with moderate use.
MarkTurbo says:
Wow! There seems to be a huge variance here! I just posted above that I'm down to 80% after 9 hours. I took my 920 off charge at 9am. It's 6pm now and I've been checking e-mail, messages and forums all day!
cddigi says:
Lucky. I took mine off the charger at 9:30a and at 7p I was at 45%. Not doing too many intensive things. Have email on push, checked the ESPN app for football scores every twenty minutes, and sent texts out every once in awhile.
MarkTurbo says:
Interesting. I'm down to 70% now after 10 hours. Don't know why my 920 is doing so well today. I'm at home on my wi-fi and I have LTE service. I'm checking the phone every 10-15 mins, checking e-mail, forums etc. The 920 is definitely lasting longer than my 900 did.
GoodThings2Life says:
About the same as me. Love this thing!
alphacc82 says:
Windows Phone background tasks on only for 30 minute runs, that is if not much else is going on. Since this developer isn't a first party dev with access to inaccessible APIs, then it prob will run every 30-60 min. Unless there is something in win phone 8 that I am unaware of!
lordofthereef says:
This explains the strange numbers I am seeing. Its not updating quickly at all.
RafRol says:
Nice and useful app it seems, but do we really need a double-wide tile?
lordofthereef says:
Need? No. But with these new tiles its probably just easiest to give us every option possible.
Seany72 says:
Hope this comes to Windows 7.8
lordofthereef says:
This doesn't seem to update accurately. My phone seems go stay on one number for a while and then drop down a whole dozen or so percent on refresh. Still, better than nothing.
alphacc82 says:
Cus its a background task that updates every 30+ min!
Landsharkk says:
Looks decent, but "Battery Saver' built in app does the same thing withou the live tile.
What we need is a battery app that gives you the ability to see how much battery you drained within a certain time period and which apps were being used during that time period. Then we could really tell which apps drain the most battery, etc.
willied says:
The whole point of this is the live tile...
Gken says:
yeah omg, my battery life went down the toilet after the first charge.....hmm that is so weird. Hope I don't have to exchange it.
ajua says:
That guy beat me! I'm testing some apps like that and the first one I tought of making was a battery indicator.
I guess that's what makes competition si I will have to bring my A game with my first batch of apps :)
jimski says:
Add a graph like in the Homebrew Battery Status app and you have a winner! You are already capturing the battery percentage every 30 minutes. So save it in a database and add it to a graph. Simple.
ratchetjaw#AC says:
I think this app drains battery. I deleted it
cdbstl76 says:
Could you run some bench marks to back that up?
cddigi says:
Yeah, kept checking it every couple minutes to see how fast the battery was draining. It was dropping a couple of percent each time I checked. Uninstalled and been texting for the last five minutes and its dropped less than when I was checking the app.
jimski says:
It shouldn't. All it's doing is recording the current battery level every 30 minutes. No call out to the Web, Probably takes all of 0.2 seconds to complete the task and update the tile. The homebrew Battery Status app checks every 10 minutes vs. every 30, and after multiple tests, I determined it used less than 2% of my battery in a 16-18 hour day.
Remove it for now if you like, but don't write it off. Probably something else snatching up your juice. Oh, and unlike a clock, if you focus all your attention on your battery level it will move/drop faster. Why, because your screen is on. The biggest single drain on your battery.
To all you new 920 owners. Congratulations. Enjoy your new phones, but be prepared to keep them on charge often for the first few days. If I had one right now, I know I would have a hard time turning it off.
jetbo says:
So to the battery life issue everyone saying they had good battery life seem to be on WiFi anyone on att getting good battery life off WiFi?
Masterz1337 says:
I can confirm I haven't connected to any WiFi yet on it, and my battery life so far is horrid
Coolknight1968 says:
Perfect, I use it on the lock screen!
melvinmajor says:
I'm hardly waiting HTC to deliver the third Windows Phone 8 by HTC (aka Zenith)...
dinod says:
I thought @tomwarren showed that battery level could be pinned from settings. Is this true?
nitrocs says:
Anyone having an issue with this app only displaying 99% while OS says 100% ?
left the phone on charge all night & its fully charged according to settings page info, but lock screen & live tile only say 99
Alex Golesh says:
Yes. 99 is maximum possible number of such tile type. Next version will bring new "special" icon for this.
nitrocs says:
Great news...I look forward to it!
larspassic says:
Daniel was right. I am going to go crazy over this.
Bushybro says:
I remember when I first got my 900, I thought the battery life was horrid but after using it for a week it just got better and better. Then it was great all.of a sudden. Does anyone think it's the battery being conditioned as you use it?
tds101 says:
Damn, I wish it was available for my Lumia 900,... :-(
agm353 says:
This is a cool concept, but it actually drained my battery more than it did help. Also, it was slow to update and the lock screen % didn't update in real time (didn't have it pinned).
SevenDead1ySinz says:
O/S limits live tile updates to every 30 minutes, thats as 'real time' as you are going to get with any app
tds101 says:
Lets test this out on my Lumia 920!!!
dlask says:
I bougt white lumia from AT&T online received on Monday, I fully charge it on Tuesday morning today after day and half of average use (stock quotes, 2 email clients and gmaps running on background) I still have 40% of battery left. This phone outperform my iphone 4s in battery life. With iphone I usualy had 40% after day of use with simular apps running.
Nathan Enegren says:
Any chance something like this will be available for my windows 8 laptop?
