When you consider that it covers installation on 5 computers and use on up to five mobile devices, that works out to $9.95 per year per device if you max it out. A very good deal indeed.

Adithya7184 You have contradicted your own comment by stating that Office 365 is better apart for the Price, but why are we even speaking about O365 when Windows Phone has Office baked in the OS?

office suite pro is one of the worse office programs for android...my personal comparison, with various test XSLX files, created in MS office, is 5,5MB big, has some formating and functions between sheets....POLARIS office opens those files quickest, with 0 problems..just some layout issues for printing when you save and reopen the document in MS office - needs little tweak to fit to page.
As for the article, we do not need tons of apps, we need a few good ones...even better, we need platform that is complete and works out of the box - and do not relly on any of market apps.

It's wide and is the only thing Windows Phone really lacks in, 2nd they lack kind of in is robust customization, which I hope is coming to 8.1.

Wp is the sweet spot of the 3 OS's. If you want custumization buy an android and if you want a simple smartphone that works buy an iphone. While Wp, you can custumize it more personally by its live tiles.
47. Timmehor (Posts: 599; Member since: 09 Mar 2013)
So true, bit it does need more customisation features! I yearn for them!
14. jibraihimi (Posts: 770; Member since: 29 Nov 2011)
Let's wait till the year end to see the evolution of WP os and what new features it brings to the board.........

Nice Article! :D

So...not taking into consideration "Android only" apps kinda defeats the purpose of a comparison doesn't it? And no, if the app is free on android and iOS but not on WP it is NOT an individual choice. there is simply no equivalent app, unless it offers the same functionality and same price.
39. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Many paid apps in WP have a "trial" version that gives you the app for free, but with limited functionality. Android does similar, but also has ad-supported freebies, which hog your data and processing power.
42. icyrock1 (Posts: 307; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
Thing is android (and iOS) have the official free versions of the apps that third parties are charging for.

very well written Maxwell although i have to say custom keyboards are a feature that i highly like in my current cool but outdated N9 and that i think should be offered in windows phone and IOS other than that i really like your article :)

Very well written article, the argument about apps is truly null n void.
36. speckledapple (Posts: 892; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
Well thought out piece and I appreciate the further explanations to others on the forum. My next phone purchase is surely considering WP but with my enjoyment of the Galaxy Note 2, I hope Microsoft produces a device with that kind of integration and effectiveness.
41. icyrock1 (Posts: 307; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
"As it happens, since the fully featured Instance is a paid app it is a tenuous comparison to its iOS and Android counterparts which are free, but the overall solution is present, so it really becomes an individual choice."
So... You're comparing a FREE first party app to a paid, third party app?
Hardly what the average user would do. They'd look for a free alternative or an official app.
45. Maxwell.R (Posts: 218; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
There is a free version of Instance that is ad supported, but people make these types of decisions every day. The choices remain, look for free alternative, look for official app, or pay. There are plenty of apps that people pay for because the simply like the app or want to support the developer.
49. icyrock1 (Posts: 307; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
I disagree with the idea that people like to pay for apps when given the choice (The article tries to equate a paid app to a free app, which the average user would certainly NOT do).
I know a lot more people who have never spent a cent on apps than those who have, and comparing the two is rather deceitful.
50. Maxwell.R (Posts: 218; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
You make a valid point, but to make my point, Twitter makes free apps for iOS, Android and WP, yet the top Twitter client for Android was Falcon Pro until the token limits went into effect. To this day, Falcon Pro users have paid to use that app despite free, first-party alternatives being available. It is really a fundamental economic principle as to what people do to use their limited resources with. Paid apps would not be successful if everyone just said, "meh, I want free...ads are okay." The reality says otherwise.

Are there emulators on WP8? I play a lot of N64 and SNES, is there that on WP?
54. khuongn (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Jun 2013)
Yes, but I think you have to pay for N64 emulator though. There's vNESLight which is a free NES emulator. I'm not sure about other emulators.
52. toondewachter (Posts: 54; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
It's not about the big apps. They're pretty much on each platform. It's the smaller, more local apps where the difference shows. Like an app for mobile banking... My bank created the app for iPhone first, then for Android. Windows Phone is probably never going to get the app. And that's the way it goes when local businesses develop apps.
Apps do matter. I don't understand why iPhone apps are mostly developed first instead of Android. But that is what makes the iPhone an attractive phone. iOS is not that impressive, but its app store is.

Too much regulation is being foisted on people, with all its fiscal consequences.See here or below for the text. It's enough to make me blow a fuse I have a distinguished female constituent who can take it no more. She must have heard me speak 50 times, such is her loyalty and dedication to the great cause we both serve. And when I come to the juddering climax of my speeches she knows, with a sinking dread, what I am about to say. I meet her eye. She rolls her eyes. "No, no," she mouths. Yes! Yes! I say, because of the two golden rules of politics: the first is repetition and the second is repetition. Ladies and gentlemen, I say, have I told you about the Windows and Doors Regulation of April 2002? "Yeees," she wails. Never mind, I say, no one is going to leave this room until they have heard it again, and for the next five minutes (if she is lucky; sometimes I spin it out for 15) I tell her about that infamous legal text, and the insane requirements it places on all of us who break our own windows, in our own homes, in the course of a loving affray, and how we are compelled, if we wish to replace that window, to become members of the Society of Window Replacers, called FENSA, provided we can stump up the fee and pass the exam; and if we cannot pass the FENSA exam, how we must go to the council and deposit a plan showing how we propose to replace our own windows, in OUR OWN HOMES, in line with Britain's commitments under the Kyoto protocol on climate change, and having replaced the window how we must then go back to the council and get a COUNCIL APPOINTED WINDOW INSPECTOR to come out and verify that whatever we have done is in line with those international commitments. And is that not mad, ladies and gentlemen, I demand. Is that not the height of insanity? And I use the Windows and Doors Regulation as an example of the kind of pointless law - intended to perfect human existence - which ends up being a burden not just on the householder but the taxpayer, because in the end we all have to pay not just to replace our windows, but that we may have the privilege of having them inspected by a taxpayer-funded window inspector, whose petrol, NI, mileage and other perks are covered by the general purse. That is the reason, ladies and gentlemen, I say, going into auto-rant, why there has been a 530,000 increase (some say more) in the number of public sector officials since 1997, because we have such a foaming torrent of new regs issuing from Brussels and Westminster, all of which must be accompanied by inspectors and compliance officers and clipboard-toters, and that is why taxes have gone up so much over the past six years, and the pension funds have been raided, and yet we have not seen a commensurate improvement in public services. Normally at this stage, while my friend is whimpering for me to stop, I demand again to know whether anyone has heard anything so preposterous as this windows and doors regulation, and it is fair to say that I generally have the audience on my side as I move to a crescendo of abuse of the Labour government... So you can imagine my astonishment, the other day, when some woman piped up. "That's nothing!" she said. "You should see what they are proposing to do with these new building regulations." Eh? I said. "Yeah," she said, "they are going to make it virtually impossible for you to do any electrical work IN YOUR OWN HOME without notifying the authorities." Really? I said, feeling trumped, and also wondering whether this would give me some new material with which to make my economic arguments; so I have gone and looked it up, and in the words of the Prince of Wales, it really is appalling. From January 1 you will not even be able to add a new lighting point IN YOUR OWN KITCHEN unless you are a member of the guild of qualified and competent electricians, called NICEIC/ECA/NAPIT, in which case you can issue a certificate to yourself, for presentation to the Building Control Body (BCB) showing that whatever you have done is in accord with the guidelines. Or else you can submit a "building notice" to the local authority, saying how you propose to fiddle with the electrics in your kitchen. Now I can see how this is all good news for the electricians and the housebuilders' federation, and all those with letters after their names. But what drives me nuts is the thought that there must be someone in the council who will be reading all these pathetic applications to change a switch or a fuse, someone who tabulates data about these applications, and has meetings to discuss the implications of this data - someone, in other words, who is a fully fledged bureaucrat, and whose new existence, necessitated by regulation, helps to explain why council tax has gone up by 70 per cent since Labour came in. Of course a Keynesian would say that it is all economic activity; and all this red tape is generating income and expenditure, and therefore putting bread on the table of that window inspector and that official charged with reading the applications to add a new light in the bathroom, and that is the guiding principle by which Gordon Brown has been running the economy. The people of Britain have endured it because the economy has not been too bad, because the value of their houses has roughly doubled since 1997. But when it hits people that tax will have to rise under another Labour government, to pay for Labour's profligacy and waste, and when they see that if we get another Labour government it will probably be led not by Blair but by Brown himself, since Tony will go in the wake of a referendum defeat on the Euro constitution, then I hope people will realise that we need a new approach to government, which doesn't foist this kind of regulation on people, with all its fiscal consequences. And if people don't get the point, then I will simply repeat my windows story, now embellished by light switches, until they do.

A persons home and local pub should be their castle – down with regulations.
Does all this regulaton mean that we have to seek permission to isten to Jim Morrison's band??
I feel like I've moved to Switzerland all of a sudden, but without the yodelling. Are they mad, these people who come up with these ideas?
Madness is in the eye of the beholder. Just ask Michel Foucault.
So you would favour deregulating casinos then, Bozzer?
Whatever next? Will I need a certificate to prove that I can safely wipe the toilet paper in the right direction without giving myself a papercut?
Aaron – we'll need a certificate and a safety inspection just so we can breathe in a mo?
Well, it only makes sense, what with using all that valuable oxygen from the earth's atmosphere and all!
i was going to make a comment, but i find myself unqualified. i am waiting for a chap from the council to bring some forms round.
Well called, my friend. 😉
The inspectors are self funded not by tax payers money
Do the inspectors have inspectors to check the safty of their funding. Or just to fill out forms on the safty of filling out forms? The dark shadow of Kafka make an apperence!!
While it pains me to be in a agreement with one so right of centre, in this matter I could not agree more.
You are not alone in being unconvinced of the safety argument.
The accident statistics are far less serious than many less regulated activities, such as car ownership, for one obvious one.
There is also the issue that nearly 10 times as many electrical accidents involve defective/damaged flexes and extension cables, versus fixed wiring, and encouraging adapters and extension leads, instead of getting a new socket properly fitted, which these rules probably will, is pretty clearly a move in the wrong direction.
Incidentally the Office of National Statistics in the UK produces figures that suggest you are more likely to be killed falling off your horse, or falling down a well, than electrocuted by fixed wiring.
Of course there is then the need to separate problems caused by fixed wiring that is dangerous because of bad workmanship (lighting wire used for power or something)that has been done recently, or a previously OK installation, now dangerous because of neglect and decrepitude, or overloading. (multiway adapters, perishing rubber, rusted earthing via conduit &c. &c.).
I suspect this makes the accident rate for badly done wiring even lower than it appears.
Cars at ~5000 deaths and 50,000 injuries requiring hospital treatment are far, far more dangerous, and a simple driving test is all that is required. Perhaps the electrical 'driving test' or a house' MOT' equivalent would be more appropriate.
I have recently been told, and am in the process of checking the numbers via another route,
an interesting comparison of electrical accident figures in some countries that do and don't allow various degrees of unregulated wiring. (Note that here I use DIY/unregulated to mean "not controlled" – this includes those with electrical qualifications, but not members of a nationally approved union or trade organisation – I realise it may also include retired postmen with absolutely no knowledge of electricity, but that's probably not many of us.)
The results are interesting as they suggest that good public awareness is the way to safer wiring, and not the alternate view of keeping 'the magic of how to do it' the concern of a secret closed shop.
The compariasons are after I have corrected for the relative poulation size.
Discounting the developing world, as the figures for India etc, are probably either not available, or too frightenting to consider, and also discounting countries with 110v systems where the risks of fire vs electrocution are very different to the UK, (annually 60,000 reported fires in Japan apparently, but very, very few electrocutions) we can compare coutries with a similar wiring development in Europe and Australasia, and possibly South Africa.
Australia, where the regulations are by far the tightest – officially you can't even buy a mains plug or a bulb holder without showing a qualification card, appears to have four times the death rate from electrical accidents relative to New Zealand, where the electrical techniques are similar but regulation wise things are very more relaxed, and certain DIY activities are allowed. Only two years in the last decade do not show this trend, when I presume somthing very nasty happened.
Indeed there is only one well developed country that allows DIY wiring and then reports a higher death rate due to electrical faults than OZ, this seems to be South Africa, which, as their figures include the 30 to 40 deaths a year that occur as people try to steal the overhead cables to sell the copper, this may affect the figures slightly.
In Europe tightest regs appear to be in Greece, which officially requires wiring plans of all wiring in buildings to be submitted to central building control for approval. There is some evidence that work is often postponed or never done because of the hassle factor and in practice this reporting doesn't always happen, although the reported accident rate is similar to the UK.
Apparently Germany and France both allow DIY wiring, but a property should be inspected and signed off by a member of an approved body before connection to the mains after major works. Accident rates are slightly lower in France than Germany, although some of this may be differences of reporting method.
The other surprise (to me!) is that despite fused plugs, and a what some other nations see as an unhealthy obsession with earthing anything that doesn't move, the UK does not have the safest electrics in Europe, by a factor of nearly two relative to everyone else the winner appears to be Holland – a country with similar wet weather, where DIY wiring is allowed, but the 'how to do it properly' information is deliberately made readily available. (For interest does anyone know how their rules on gas work too? – I have a suspicion that CORGI doesn't do that much for our existing installations other than guarantee that old gas pipes stay in the house and rust until they leak, rather than being removed in normal renovation, and that non-monopoly method might have been better)
In summary however, I think the safety grounds for the introduction of the part P controls are quite doubtful, as they ignore the way accidents will dissapear of one list, but reappear on another, and it is much more likely the real motivation is economic or political lobbying by groups with a vested in interest in a closed shop.
Oh god, I have gone on rather haven't I!
mapi1 – you have gone on a bit. I thought this was a comment section – not the place where one write their P.HD on window/door/ and building regulation. Some one's going to have to get an inspector in the check if this is a safe use of the system. What fun – more forms to fill out.
Boris I don't often agree with your politics, but I agree with you on this one.
Its totally absurd.
People can question my families and my own mental health, but if we want to abuse a door when we're in a piss,then we should be able to rehinge it afterwards without somebody else prying! OK, its probably not a good idea to take revenge on an innocent object, but it really makes us feel better.Its our door, our property, not hurting the people around us so therefore our business.
Most people have been doing DIY (sometimes unsuccessful)for years and are just fine. Most people have the sense not to tackle things they don't have the capabilities for. Some people end up in a pickle, but thats their choice. Its like stopping somebody from crossing the road at their own freewill, its totally ludicrous.
Boris, You are very entertaining, especially when you get the bit between your teeth and start ranting away before putting your brain in gear.
In the name of freedom, you castigate the authorities for introducing regulations designed to stop people being stupid ( perhaps using moblie phones while cycling, re-wiring their house with no clue how to ) but you forget who has to pick up the bill when they reap their rewards; the tax payer, me and you. You complain – rightly – about rising taxes, but then how do you cut down on disability payments to someone now wheelchair-ridden having brained themselves falling off their wobbling bike or social security handouts to orphaned kids because the parents died in a mysterious house fire ? We do have choices, but sadly allowing people to choose badly ( smoking, eating fatty foods, etc x 1000 ) costs us poor – at least some of us – taxpayers fortunes. " Its like stopping people crossing the road at their own freewill, its totally ludicrous ." It's also called jaywalking in America and is an offence in that famed ' land of the free ' . I know you're busy Boris but you really must spend more time thinking things through – oh, I forgot, you are a politican . Having said that, I think you're great !
New Labour are a pain in the butt and everywhere else. When are they going to get off our backs not until we get rid of them).
Regarding the comments about how we all pay – and this is true of hospitals. As regards the electrical stuff at least, the 'cost benefit analysis' performed by the ODPM neglects totally the rise in accidents from extension leads and multiway adaptors we can expect, as a price for safer fixed wiring. Consider as an example, people still want to use power tools in their garage, but are no longer allowed to screw fixed sockets to the wall and do a half decent job. We will all pay for this, as the extension lead out of the kitchen window is the cheapest legal way but massively more dangerous, particularly after the kids have cycled over it a few times !!
Don't believe the hype,
this one at least is all about lobby groups pushing to create a closed shop under a 'safety' smokescreen – see my earlier comments comparing Australia and New Zealand and feel free to cross check the published mortality figures. I think that one can clearly see the very accident displacement effect described above in action. This one WILL cost us more in both accidents and money.
Boris – Wonderful article, really gets to the heart of how over-regulation can become both uncontrollable and unreasonable.
Paul Buckland – Did not Gordon Brown lose sight in one eye due to a rugby accident? Should Rugby be regulated to prevent such things happening in the future, perhaps a requirement to wear goggles would swiftly prevent such a costly (both to the nhs and to Mr Brown) reccurance?
Maybe we could go one step further and say only trained-chefs can cook food, after all the cost of food-poisoning/injury in the kitchen to the nhs must run into millions per year?
The nhs is a service, it is not a system which should tell me how to live my life. The 'cost to the nhs' arguement is increasingly being used as justification for pushing forward un-reasonable, il-liberal laws. 'Cost to Nhs' is an easy sell in essence, it plays on the natural conservative desire for low-taxation (ban this it will save you money by lowering nhs costs) and it plays towards the natural labour-party desire for government-control (we help save people from their own stupidity).
I'm just curious; is the government going to restrict sales of paraphenalia for such repairs at places like B&Q? Or will you just have to show your paperwork in order to be allowed to buy, say, a wall socket?
Well said Boz cat (as ever). It's all very well arguing the toss and I'm sure fat cats in westminster do that a lot whilst being completely removed from the consequences of thier actions (they can pay!). But consequences to peoples lives are important.
Take my situation for instance: I can't afford a qualified electrician as is required and so have a 40amp cooker on a 3 pin 13 amp plug. I have no alternative. Also, the door of my fusebox fell off, exposing the analogue and creaky fuse box and meter to the elements (it's on the side of the house). I have two children under 5yrs old in the house and neither the electricity supplier nor the billing co. want to know. Apparently they don't do that any more. They wont even change the meter to a digital meter. One fusebox is housed in bakolite!
Regulations are all very well but they don't necessarily make everyone safer in the real world. What am I supposed to do?
So after 5 years of gaining electrical qualifications at great expense in both time and money, I am deemed to be not 'competent'
What a farce!
And as usual they have got you all mising the most dangerous bit.
Once we had red (live) black (neutral) & green wires.
We had to change to European standards Brown (live) blue & green/yellow.
The new system has changed the colours. I gave up after reading live is now Black.
In cas you missed it live will become the sam colour neutral used to be – & still is on some modern equipment – this is something akin to changing the traffic light colours around so all new lights will have red for go.
Stupid it is not. Criminally stupid is what it is
But it took a Tory blog site to let us know, the government wern't going to! I agree, how incredibly stupid!!

Hi All,
It is my first project on Sitefinity, so I am quite new to the CMS.
We have created a custom content type called "Case study", in which the content has to be laid out in a number of different formats.
We have also created a several Custom content types ("Quote", "Testimonial", "Text with left
image", "Text with right image") as children of the Custom content type "Case study".
So the problem we have is the following:
1) We want to be able to add as many of these elements as we need, in any order we need to each
"Case study", and show them all together in it. When we are trying to modify the template and put all the child content type in one template we are getting error message, Quote, testimonial is not part of provider. we need to show all the fields for each one in the same page.
Can any give me an example how to do it?
Thanks Svetoslav for you feedback.
We are almost there. We only need to show the full 'Related Content' on the same page, not as a hyperlink. Can you please guide me?
Again thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Sorry I didn't clarify myself in last post.
1. Project (Screenshot - Project_ContentType.jpg)
2. CustomRow (screenshot - CustomRow_ContentType.jpg)
3. ProjectQuote (Screenshot - ProjectQuote_ContentType.jpg)
4. ProjectContentWithImage (screenshot - ProjectContentWithImage_ContentType.jpg)
Please see screenshots, I have created 'ContentRow' field as related data in the Project module which is providing link between Project contentType and ProjectQuote and ProjectContentWithImage.
I have used "Display select Items as frontend using Dynamic content widget"
Kind regards,
Make Sitefinity work best for you.

Event Details
Ever Imagined Write Your Own Bestselling Book So You Can Live Your Legacy Now While Monetizing Your Message, Mission and Mastery?
(Please watch my short video that could open many doors of possiblilities for you!)
A few years ago, I was struggling in my business. I had all the necessary specialized skills, I was a great communicator, I have engagement in and around social media but something was missing. I had no defined PRODUCT or SERVICE OFFERING. People wanted to invest in me and do business with me but I wasn't giving them the opportunity to do that. Yes, I was already a Speaker and a Business Coach but I was all things to all people. My MASTERY wasn't clear and specific to those I wanted to help.
I kept on wondering, "How can I get more clients who are willing to take a quantum leap in their business without struggling like I did?" I knew I had the specialized skills and the right formula to help them with but I knew there was a disconnect --
MY POTENTIAL CLIENTS WANTED TO KNOW PRECISELY HOW I AM ABLE TO REALLY HELP THEM WITH MY MESSAGE, MISSION and MASTERY.
Here's the sad truth. Not because you're using technology effectively means that you're converting your prospects to your ideal clients. Sure, blogging, social media, podcasting, video marketing, email marketing and relationship marketing are all important but there is one thing that is an absolute MUST before you jump into these channels and that is,
CLARITY -- Clarity of Mission, Monetizable Message, Mastery and yes, Mindset and Marketing
Why do you need to write a book? Here's why...
Many people think that if they just start to dive into marketing that they are going to start to monetize. That's a big myth and I debunked that myth the hard way - through living it and going through years of frustration, disappointment, doubt and opposition. There were many times when I wondered if success could truly be attained through helping others with what I know. I was going through a very rough patch in my life when yet another strategy was presented to me. This is the secret that has enabled me to go from charging $25/hour to $25,000 per client in a very short time.
I was told to WRITE my story, PUBLISH a potential bestselling book and MONETIZE my Mastery.
I asked myself, "How in the world will writing a book work for me? Sure I like to write - I have been journalling since I was in high school - but write my own book and publish it on Amazon.com?" I wasn't sure about that...
I didn't know if I was ready for that - these thoughts went through my mind and I have a feeling these thoughts are the same thoughts you're thinking why you haven't written your book:
* I don't know if I have that much information to share.
* I am not sure if anyone will buy my book.
* Grammar and spelling were not my strongest points at school and
even moreso now.
* I am not clear on my message and what to offer my potential clients,
what in the world would I write about?
* I don't know where to even start on structuring my thoughts and ideas.
* I have writer's block and I get distracted easily.
* There are already so many books out there, how will mine get noticed?
* I don't have the tens of thousands of dollars necessary for publishing.
* I don't have a good editor to edit my book.
* I feel so exposed and vulnerable sharing my personal story.
Trust me, these are all valid feelings as most authors that I know have had these concerns and embraced them anyway. For most of us, what propelled us to embrace these real tangible fears and get past the doubt and disbelief is:
Are you an Entrepreneur, Expert, Executive, Educator or Employee, who is looking to uplevel your game and truly understand that having your own potentialy bestselling book is critical to your success?
Do you find yourself always thinking of ways on how you can:
CLARIFY your monetizable message to attract your ideal clients.
CREATE your own Products, Systems and Serivices from your Message, Mission and Mastery
CONNECT as a Trusted Authority for more Credibility, Clients and Cashflow.
My 12-year old son Garrett understands this concept and has used these simplified strategies for himself! He volunteered to be my only Guest Speaker at my event!
Here's What You Will Learn From Spending An Entire Day With Me:
PREPARE: Prepare to unleash your book. Organize your thoughts and ideas, Overcome these 5 FEARS that are keeping you from moving forward. Overcome your writer's blocks and Open yourself to become a bestselling author.

Are you ready to stop wishing and start taking the right inspired results-driven action? Explore possibilities for you!
Hi! Emma Tiebens here, and the media calls me "The Relational Marketer". Why do people seek my advice and invest in my books, products and services? It's because I have been through years of painful and expensive trial and error and now I have the specialized skills that help so many people cut down on their learning curve, saving them thousands of dollars and a lot of frustration! In the process I have identified which has enabled me to connect with the world's top movement makers, thought leaders and global influencers... my "Inspired Relationships"...
For the past 8 years of being an Entrepreneur, I have witnessed many of my entrepreneurial friends lose their dream home, life savings and yes, even their prized relationships - divorce, disappointed children and broken homes - due to overwhelm, mis-information and sadly, their lack of SUCCESS. It seems that no matter what they did, no matter what books they read, seminars they attend or mentors they invest in, they find themselves STUCK, FEARFUL, and VULNERABLE. They failed to realize that they were focused on the wrong things - they simply didn't know what they didn't know.
At my event not only will you learn how to WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK, you're going to uncover many many things about yourself and the reasons why you're probably not achieving the level of success you thought you would have by now. I will show you how to comfortably and confidently embrace being a TRUSTED AUTHORITY.
I have followed many mentors, I have been to thousands of events, invested in hundreds of courses, and have probably spent the equivalent of a million dollars in personal and business development, as well as the hard life lessons from the "school of hard knocks".
Here's why I do what I do and a short story of how that happened:
The best lessons learned are those you learn from life's experience and I am proud to say that I have found a powerful way to simplify and consolidate those life experiences that has enabled me to now live the life I have always wanted -- with SUCCESS, SATISFACTION and SIGNIFICANCE. Now I get to Mentor our 12-year old son Garrett who is now pursuing his passion as an Inspirational Magician, Author and Speaker. If Garrett can do it, so can you! Garrett will be at my event to share with you his vision and passion for making sure that his message and mission are heard all over the world!

Oven Thermometer - Recommendations
I recently broke not one but two oven thermometers, one was a Taylor the other I am not sure of the name. The Taylor was Oven Guide model w/ an actual thermometer and the other was enclosed in glass. Anyway they both broke recently along with my stone, that cracked in half and the bottom of my clouche cracked too. Not sure what is going on here. One good thing, my bread is still turning out pretty good.

It's customary for music-loving individuals to debate which songs, albums, and artists they consider the best, especially when comparing one artist head-to-head with another. Opinions are openly expressed, facts are justifiably revisited. It makes for a great, educational, and often aggressive but fun conversation.
SoulTrain.com is going to start one right now!
Artist: Rick James
Debut: 1978
Albums: 13 total, including Come Get It! (1978), Fire It Up (1979), Street Songs (1981), Cold Blooded (1983), Deep Still (2007)
Singles: "You and I," "Mary Jane," "Give It to Me Baby," "Super Freak," "Cold Blooded," "Ebony Eyes", "Standing On the Top," "Glow"
#1s (Singles, Albums): 8
Artist: Prince
Debut: 1978
Albums: 39 total, including For You (1978), 1999 (1982), Purple Rain (1984), Diamonds and Pearls (1991), Come (1994), Emancipation (1996), The Rainbow Children (2001), Musicology (2004), Art Official Age (2014), HITnRUN Phase Two (2015)
Singles: "I Want to Be Your Lover," "1999," "When Doves Cry," "I Would Die 4 U," "Kiss," "Alphabet St.," "Batdance," "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," Letitgo," "Gold," "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold"
#1s (Singles, Albums): 29
You're either a Rick James fan or you're not. You're either a Prince fan or you're not. Both men are incredibly flamboyant, charismatic, and polarizing, extraordinary performers in and out of the recording studio. They're so over the top, in fact, they either entertain you or turn you off. What's also true of them both is they're hit-making musical geniuses who can rock out or roll in the deep.
A former doo-wop singer from Buffalo, NY, the late Rick James evolved into a unique soul/R&B act and pop culture icon, one who could produce funky dance records as easily as sultry slow jams. As one of the best writers and producers ever, James made hits for The Temptations, Teena Marie, Smokey Robinson, and even Eddie Murphy.
You're underselling Prince if you refer to him as unique. He's truly something else. A pioneer of the "Minneapolis sound," the Minnesota native pop icon impacted both the Billboard charts and the box office. He told audiences "Let's Go Crazy" in Purple Rain, and "Trust" the Joker in Batman. Like James, Prince is one of the top writer/producers of all time, crafting smashes for Sheila E., Chaka Khan, Judith Hill, The Time, Vanity 6, and The Bangles.
But which of them do you like most?

The institution of the Jewish fixed calendar has provoked muchcontroversial discussion not only among Jewish, but also Christian scholars. The significant contributions to the subject by two of the great sixteenth-century polymaths, the Jew Azariah de' Rossi and the Christian Sebastian Münster, pinpoint the delicate nature of calendrical investigation. Münster's frequent use of one particular piyyut (a religious poem) to undermine the basis of the Jewish fixed calendar is intended to defend the contradictory calendrical data in the Gospels. De' Rossi implicitly attacks Muenster for his recourse to this unhistorical text. Yet de' Rossi himself is intent on proving that the Jewish fixed calendar is a late post-talmudic convention, an iconoclastic approach which was not welcome in certain rabbinic circles.

This article looks at the recent debate in the German media and among German academics about the nature of Bronze Age Troy. It suggests that some of the more unusual features of the debate—such as its exceptional violence—should be seen as reflecting the cultural and political upheavals that are transforming German society in the wake of unification. Whereas the public response reflects major political developments such as the redefinition of German citizenship, the academic response is underpinned by current battles over the university system and the nature of academic inquiry. In this context, Bronze Age Wilusa, as reconstructed by Manfred Korfmann, takes on the status of an evocative cultural and academic icon which enables post-unification German society to explore some deep-seated anxieties and aspirations.

Over the last three or four decades in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, an enormous variety of grassroots projects and initiatives have sprung up dedicated to recording and preserving the memories and histories of different communities, often under-voiced and under-represented within the mainstream heritage. The impetus for such projects arose from a range of motivations but in general all were responding to the desire to document, record and preserve the identity and history of their own locality and community. Some custodians and creators of these collections remain suspicious of the mainstream archival profession and are determined to preserve their independence and autonomous voice by retaining direct ownership and physical custodianship of their collections, at least for the foreseeable future. In this context, seeking to ensure that these valuable materials are preserved and possibly made accessible presents a number of challenges and opportunities, including an encouragement to re-examine some aspects of traditional professional practice. By examining independent community archive activity in the UK, and in particular in London, and its implications for community interaction and identity within the multicultural context of contemporary British culture and society, this article seeks to contribute a different but relevant perspective to international debates about contemporary professional archival theory and practice.

What was classification as it first took modern form in the eighteenth century, how did it work, and how did it relate to earlier describing and ordering? We offer new answers to these questions by considering an example less well known than that of botany or zoology, namely medicine, and by reconstructing practice on paper. The first and best-known disease classification is the "nosology" of the Montpellier physician François Boissier de Sauvages de Lacroix. Its several editions, we show, were less products than process: published tools for building a classification system. The disorder of a hitherto unstudied notebook that Boissier de Sauvages kept throughout this process provided a way of breaking with the topical order of earlier physicians' humanistic commonplace books of disease observation while sustaining the paper practices those earlier physicians—and Sauvages himself as a student—had used to order disease. This suggests a different picture of historical change than that of a scholarly world of ordered words giving way to a scientific one of ordered things. Classification, in the case of Sauvages' nosology, arose through an incomplete break with, and intensified practice of, a past way of ordering the described world. The humanist paper practice that had made observationes, differently applied, now made species. Classification into genera and species by similarity and difference, which Sauvages' nosology shared with botany, was an algorithm of paper and ink practice—in its operation more machine-like than humanist textual practice yet in its effects more creative and re-creative of categories and questions of relationship. Thus a new empiricism of generalizations (species) arose out of the older, Renaissance empiricism of particulars (observations, facts).

Islam's explicit condemnation of homosexuality has created a theologically based homophobia which engenders the intolerance of homosexuals by Muslims. In this article I explore Muslim attitudes towards homosexuality and homosexuals as this area has elicited very little research. Based on structured interviews with 68 Muslim male and female heterosexuals I examine the connection between participants' attitudes towards homosexuality and their understanding of gender and gender roles. I also analyse whether participants' views are shaped by their religious beliefs and values. Age, gender, education and level of religiosity are analysed to see whether they affect attitudes. Data suggest that participants held negative attitudes towards homosexuals and this is the result of being religiously conservative in their attitudes towards homosexuality and gender roles.

Written as a response to a conference exhibition of medical illustrations of reproduction, this article considers the gains of an interdisciplinary study of medical illustration to both historians and medics. The article insists that we should not only be attuned to the cultural work that such representations perform but also that such illustrations are the product of material medical practices and the often humane impulses that drive them.

This paper describes the development of two annual lantern parades as case examples of arts in community health, which the authors define as a distinct area of activity operating mainly outside of acute healthcare settings, characterised by the use of participatory arts to promote health. The parades took place in Gateshead 1994–2006 and later in Stockton-on-Tees from 2009 to the present, and the paper reflects on the factors that made for the success of the Gateshead parade and also the problems that led to its demise. It then describes and assesses the Stockton parade, and the benefits and challenges of a workshop ethos of 'positive regard' with reference to interview data gathered from adult volunteers and school staff. It considers the potential of this annual 'tradition' to shape communal memories that identify with place, and it sets out its aspirations for future programme and research.

We hope to see you there!
Often as we can, we will blog or interview our favorite indie bands that we saw live or heard/seen on YouTube etc.
Meet Katie Cole originally from Melbourne, Australia, now based in Los Angeles, USA. Not your every day female singer songwriter. Does she dominate with ballads? No. Does she compose songs on the piano? Rarely. What she does do then? She rocks and enjoys a loud guitar, a strong melodic hook and an up tempo pop song. Growing up on a strict diet of rock music from her Mom, she was fed Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin in one ear and Maria Callas from her vocally classically trained, Father. After a quick detour in music to Smashing Pumpkins, Aretha Franklin and Eurythmics, Katie describes her own style of music as having flavors of Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, Fleetwood Mac and Colbie Caillat. She calls it "Americana meets British Pop".

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
The parents of murdered journalist James Foley say their faith is helping them get through.
Foley was a graduate of Marquette University, a Jesuit institution in Milwaukee. He had previously spent 44 days in a Libyan jail during that country's civil war.
In the Marquette alumni magazine, Foley wrote about the power of prayer and faith in difficult circumstances.
On Wednesday, Foley's mother gave thanks for "so many prayers" of support. His father said James is "finally free" and "in heaven."
Pope Francis is expected to reach out to the family Thursday.
Foley was apparently murdered at the hands of ISIS, which was captured in a grisly video the terrorist group released Tuesday.
Foley was a seasoned foreign correspondent on assignment for the GlobalPost when he disappeared in northern Syria in November 2012.

The mastic sealant around my bath and shower needs replacing. I have taken most of it off, but whenever I try to apply some new mastic, it goes all over the place. I can't achieve a smooth finish. Do you have any tips? JT, Gloucestershire
I used to think that those who could use a mastic gun successfully, wiping it smooth with their finger, with no mess at all, must have a special sweat gland. Then a chap showed me how to do it.
Fill a mist spray gun with warm water and detergent. Working in one smooth action, with the nozzle cut at an angle, run a thin line of mastic along the edge of the bath. Spray down the line of mastic.
Wet your finger in the detergent mixture, then run it swiftly and smoothly, without stopping, down or along the line. Wipe the excess off on a cloth. The detergent will prevent the mastic sticking to your finger and it will also prevent it sticking to either side of the original line of mastic.
Try it on something you can throw away afterwards to perfect your technique.
I'm thinking of installing photovoltaic (PV) panels to the roof of my house, but I am finding it extremely difficult to compare the panels from the various manufacturers. I read that panels can produce anything between 190kWh and 240kWh per year. Surely, there should be a standard rating? AT, Leicestershire
The output per panel is largely irrelevant as it will vary more with the size of the panel than with efficiency. The same is true of output per square metre, as the figure will be largely the same across all the good manufacturers.
Essentially, there are two types of PV cells; monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Monocrystalline are sometimes more expensive. The differences in terms of financial return between any of the major manufacturers are insignificant.
Polycrystalline can be up to 20 per cent cheaper to install than monocrystalline. Interestingly, when you work out the feed-in tariff payments, it can be more economical to install polycrystalline rather than monocrystalline.
The difference in performance efficiency between any of the major manufacturers will make no material difference to the annual financial return. The build quality of the panels and the quality of installation both point to the longevity of the system and that will have greater financial implications. So don't worry about performance figures. The secret is to find a good quality product installed by a reliable supplier. And that means checking out the references.
We are halfway through the refurbishment of an old cottage. Work commenced in November and will last until the end of February to include upgrading of the insulation. Could any of the insulation work attract a lower rate of VAT? Will all of the building work be subject to the 20 per cent rate of VAT or will some work carried out before December 31 be at the lower 17.5 per cent rate? FW, Dorset
There are schemes under the Government's Green Deal where VAT is less on insulation materials. But you have to use one of the accredited companies or a participating energy supply company. If you or your builder buy insulation material from the local builders' merchant, you will pay the current standard rate of VAT. Any invoices dated before the January 4 2011 deadline should be at 17.5 per cent. Any invoices after that date will be at the higher rate of 20 per cent.

Crest is planning to produce serials and gameshows besides other contents. It has set itself a target of having six to eight programmes on air before the year-end. The company had so far been focusing on graphics and 2-D and 3-D animation business.
Currently, Crest is working on the pilot project of a gameshow for children which will have a high level of interactivity as well as technological innovation. An idea being explored is to use phone lines not only for calling in but also to allow a participant to play using the keys on his phone instrument as a game console. For this, Crest is in contact with national telephone services provider MTNL.
The television software industry is expected to register strong growth owing to increase in demand for content, increase in programming rates and increasing revenues from television advertising accruing to the content producers.
The costs involved for the top rung series would cost in the region of Rs 600,000 per half hour episode while the other four would cost between Rs 200,000 and Rs 300,000 per half hour episode. Crest Communication is expecting to close the year ended March 31, 2001 with a turnover of Rs 25 crore and a net profit of about Rs 5 crore.

Today, South Carolina's oldest professional organization for educators, the South Carolina Educators Association, announced its endorsement of Vincent Sheheen for Governor of South Carolina.
"South Carolina's teachers are on the front lines working to improve the future of our state -- I have been proud to stand with them to support public education for many years and I am honored to receive the SCEA's endorsement for governor," said Sen. Vincent Sheheen.
Sen. Sheheen addressed the SCEA's Leadership Conference in Columbia this afternoon and thanked the educators for their support.
"South Carolina deserves a leader they can trust in the governor's office, who will lead on education instead of making devastating cuts for three years before turning school funding into an election-year political football," Sen. Sheheen continued. "The time for gimmicks has passed. The best way to education children is to start early -- that is why I am proud to have led the effort to expand 4-year-old kindergarten for nearly a decade and delivered results."
The SCEA recommended Sen. Sheheen as the best choice for South Carolina's governor because of his consistent leadership and commitment to improving public education. Their endorsement announcement, which follows Governor Nikki Haley's month-long effort to rewrite her record on education, cited Sen. Sheheen's repeated efforts to expand access to 4-year-old kindergarten, increase teacher-pay, and develop a more equitable formula for state education funding based on need, not zip code.
Sen. Sheheen's plans to reform and improve public education are a large part of his book, "The Right Way: Getting the Palmetto State Back on Track." Read through his book and plans for students and teachers at www.vincentsheheen.com/issues.

The first new-look Fresh & Easy was unveiled two weeks ago, and seven more stores will host their grand re-openings this weekend. A Fresh & Easy spokesperson told PG that a total of 17 stores will be transitioned to the new banner by the end of December, yet no timeframe has been set for further expansion to other markets.

"We've evolved Fresh & Easy by constantly innovating to improve our stores and our products," said Mike Evans, Fresh & Easy VP of marketing. "The company has been reinvigorated and we are now using Las Vegas as a test market to implement even more new ideas and concepts."
El Segundo, Calif.-based Fresh & Easy operates 167 stores in Arizona, California and Nevada.

Romney lied again.
Romney's closing message in Michigan or a new campaign?
Dean Barnett offers a scathing assessment of the Romney campaign today. I don't want to focus on that here, instead his closing:
I hope Mr. Romney does well enough in Michigan today that he gets the opportunity to introduce the public to the real Mitt Romney. He is a wonderful and gifted guy. It would be nice if he and his campaign allowed the voters in on that secret.
If Mitt Romney's closing speech to the Detroit Economic Club is the real, Mitt Romney, then we have an even bigger problem then we thought. Byron York had this analysis of the speech:
Romney's proposals might not be music to the ears of free-market conservatives who believe Detroit made its own problems and needs to fix itself. But it's what a lot of people in Michigan want to hear.
In other words, Romney ran to the left telling "a lot of people [what they] want to hear." If this is the real Mitt Romney, still telling people what they want to hear, abandoning his new refound principles, then just wait until a general election.
"Insincere" Romney campaign finds more astroturf
Dean Barnett, Mitt Romney's former driver, attacks the campaign today in the New York Times:
Because Mr. Romney chose to make this argument a secondary matter compared to his stands on social issues, he mounted a campaign that was, at its most basic level, insincere. … But the public correctly sensed something disingenuous about Mr. Romney's campaign.
This sense of insincerity permeates the campaign. Strategically, as Barnett notes, the campaign is based on the proposition of offering the candidate as something he is not. Tactically, the campaign repeatedly offers astroturf. Earlier, they offered the press staff to talk to without disclosing that relationship. This time, they did a photo-op a staffer's mom, and didn't disclose that relationship:
A well-publicized weekend photo-op for Mitt Romney turns out to have been missing a piece of information that might have undermined its credibility: the unemployed single mom at the center of the event was the mother of a Romney staffer.
Romney even offered her advice that seems to characterize him:
Ironically, when it came time to take questions from the reporters gathered around Sachs' kitchen table, Romney joked: "If you don't want to answer any questions, that's fine, too. What I've learned is, if they ask a question, you can answer something else."

Man accused of robbery, assault
By JOHN BURNETT
Tribune-Herald staff writer
What might have been a petty misdemeanor shoplifting charge became felony robbery when the suspect allegedly attacked a loss prevention agent outside the Keaau Foodland supermarket.
According to court documents filed by police, 53-year-old Gordon W.K. Kong was seen taking several items from the Puna store, including mochi and organic shampoo and conditioner, concealed them inside his shirt and the waistband of his jeans, and left the store with a female companion after she paid for a gallon of milk.
The store detective, Renee Souza, wrote in her report that she approached and stopped Kong about 15 feet outside the store with her security badge in hand. She wrote that Kong shoved her, causing her badge to fly out of her hand and her prescription glasses to the ground.
"I yelled that Kong was under arrest for theft," Souza wrote. She wrote that the shampoo and conditioner were dropped to the ground during a struggle.
"Kong tried to leave and I had assistance by fellow Foodland personnel," she wrote. She added that a man who identified himself as an off-duty police officer "assisted in subduing Kong" and that she "handcuffed Kong without incident."
Court documents indicate that Souza sustained injuries to both knees in a fall during the scuffle; the extent of those injuries weren't stated.
Police also wrote that Kong admitted to concealing and taking the items from the store. He was charged with second-degree robbery, a Class B felony that carries a possible 10-year prison term, for the use of force against Souza.
All the items allegedly stolen were recovered, Souza wrote.
At Kong's initial court appearance on Friday, Deputy Public Defender Patrick Munoz requested that Kong be placed on supervised release.
"Mr. Kong does have an address and phone number which he could be reached at," he said. "He has a wife with medical conditions that he is the primary caregiver for, as well as his three children." He added that Kong is employed as an auto mechanic.
Deputy Prosecutor Kelden Waltjen objected to the request for supervised release based on Kong's "extensive criminal history."
"Defendant has 24 criminal contempt (of court) convictions," he said. "… In addition, the defendant has three prior felony convictions, more specifically, robbery in the second degree, promotion of dangerous drugs in the third degree and theft in the second degree."
Hilo District Judge Harry Freitas maintained Kong's bail at $25,000, and set a preliminary hearing for Tuesday at 2 p.m.
Kong remained in custody Friday evening at Hawaii Community Correctional Center.

With the 2010 NFL season in the books, it's time to turn our eyes to the NFL draft, and the pre-draft evaluation process. Before the 2011 scouting combine begins on Feb. 24, we'll be taking a closer look at the 40 draft-eligible players who may be the biggest difference-makers when all is said and done.
We continue our series with Baylor offensive lineman Danny Watkins, the British Columbia native who grew up playing hockey and rugby. Watkins started playing football four years ago when he went to California's Butte College (the same place Aaron Rodgers(notes) got his collegiate start), and he was good enough for Baylor to pick him up before the 2009 season and ask him to replace Jason Smith(notes) at left tackle.
Watkins impressed as a power tackle for two seasons, but was asked to play guard and center during Senior Bowl week. He walked out of Mobile as perhaps the most impressive offensive prospect of the entire event. In his two years at Baylor, Watkins totaled 237 knockdowns over 25 games.
Pros: Having never played guard in game situations before Senior Bowl week, Watkins kicked inside nonetheless and looked as if he'd played the position for years. He has a natural low stance from which he explodes into the defender. He also has tremendous upper-body strength; even when he's bent back at the point of attack, he can resurface and win the power battle. Has a wide lower body which he naturally uses to establish a strong base as he gets his second foot down and in position.
For his size (6-foot-4, 312 pounds), Watkins has real side-to-side agility; he's very good at preventing defenders from getting around him with quick outside moves. Played out of a two-point stance most of the time at Baylor, but told me at the Senior Bowl that he's just as happy to put his hand down and blow defenders out. Also practiced at the center position and had an equal affinity for that position. Selected fourth overall in the 2010 Canadian Football League draft, but chose to fulfill his obligation to Baylor and try his luck with the NFL after his senior season.
Cons: The former part-time firefighter (he went to Butte because of the school's Fire Sciences program) will turn 27 years old in November, which may give potential NFL suitors pause as much as his lack of experience -- his age could make him a one-contract guy. Doesn't possess great second-level agility, but may be able to modify his technique over time to fit a zone-combo scheme. Watkins' natural ability to adopt a new position will be tested by more complex NFL defenses -- it wouldn't be surprising if he struggles at first as his technique catches up to his raw ability.
Conclusion: You'll be hearing a lot about Watkins in the next couple of months -- he's a humble guy with a gregarious personality, and he's impressed most draft analysts. The mistake would be in assuming that he's a "Rudy" type just because he's a natural media favorite. Watkins has the kind of ability that could soon have him among the elite at the guard position.
NFL Comparison: Josh Sitton(notes), Green Bay Packers.

Lessons from Lean: Why we need women in leadership
I grew up watching sports with my dad, and in addition to him, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee were my heroes. In 5th grade, I won a Presidential Fitness award for the flexed-arm hang and, needless to say, PE was my favorite subject. That was, until 7th grade PE class.
