In July of 2012, Gov. Paul LePage made an ill-advised comparison of the Internal Revenue Services to the Nazi Gestapo. Appropriately, much of the state reacted strongly.
Newspapers wrote editorials expressing outrage. Columnists slammed yet another offensive comment made by the governor. Political opposition piled on. And Phil and I started the bipartisan demand for an apology. Thankfully, the governor gave that apology a week later.
Unfortunately, this past week, the same did not occur when the word "Gestapo" was used against him.
Last week, a restaurant in Portland, Mesa Verde, closed its doors after a Jan. 15 health inspection showed fruit flies, clogged drains, improper temperature controls and a drunk cook. Despite these self-inflicted problems, the restaurant decided to blame LePage by writing in the window, "Shutdown by the new Gestapo of Augusta – Governor LePage."
While I have no idea how the failed inspection could possibly be LePage's fault (and Lord knows I am more than willing to find fault with the governor), even if it were, it would still be highly inappropriate to use a Nazi reference to describe the action.
Lest we forget, the Gestapo was the secret police for Nazi Germany. Initially imprisoning and killing thousands, the Gestapo in the latter half of the Nazi reign was central in carrying out the Final Solution — the extermination of the Jewish people throughout German-occupied Europe. Obviously, comparing a health inspector to something of this magnitude is trivializing and deeply insensitive to the millions who were murdered.
And this is where the hypocrisy comes in. Although I didn't see anyone celebrating the use of this word, our state was also silent in condemning this ethnically charged language being used against the governor.
No press releases. No columns. No editorials reminding Mainers of the harm that word can cause or defending the administration against such a disgusting comparison.
Now, don't get me wrong, I understand the difference between a governor saying something and some schmuck with a can of spray paint. Elected officials should always be held to the highest standards in regard to the language they use, as they represent entire constituencies.
But the word is still the word, and it was displayed statewide in newspapers. All of us in politics and the media should never allow language like this to be used lightly in a political context (or any, for that matter).
When someone compares our governor to the Gestapo, just like when our governor compares the IRS to the same, we must condemn the action forcefully and absolutely.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Nick's Fishmarket Restaurant Review: THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS CLOSED A Waikiki landmark since the '70s, Nick's is a solid seafood house, although the prices are a little higher than the food should command. We usually skip appetizers here---except it's hard to resist the blackened sashimi with a coat of Cajun spices or the salad with shrimp and a creamy spinach dressing, a long-running favorite. Stay with the fresh fish---baked opah with lemon butter cilantro sauce, grilled mahi mahi with tropical salsa and a roasted tomato sauce or sautéed opakapaka with ratatouille. Desserts can be heavy: double chocolate mousse cake, Oreo cookie pie. But don't worry; the portions are so big you won't likely be hungry by the time dessert rolls around anyway. Service is good, if a bit over-attentive. Wine is pricey and the list features a bounty of California Chardonnays.

RVNN.tv's side so you will get to see it early next week but it didn't get recorded on the Ustream side. So I am going to have to wing it. Here goes.
Had a really jam packed show last night with our special guest Michael Weiner from geocaching team TeamDotOne. We asked Michael to come on because our show was about Puzzle Geocaches. TeamDotOne has over 9000 finds to their credit with a bunch of them being Puzzles. In fact they had just traveled that day from Ohio to Arizona to complete several puzzle series and power trails.
Speaking of power trails, a large portion of discussion with Michael discussed power trails. Creative Director, Dave Dufour was intrigued by the fact that a geocacher could obtain the number of geocaching finds from a power trail in one day. Michael went on to explain that they planned on doing the Route 66 power trail and get over 800 geocaches in a single day. Was neat to see Dave light up like that with those types of geocaching prospects.
After we finished out Meet and Greet talk with Michael we gave away two prizes from one of our Cache Stash sponsors CoinsAndPins.com. The first was a top end Lanyard and the second was a really nice Angel geocoin.
During tonight's episode we officially kicked off the Brazos Walking Sticks Giveaway contest where any of our Geocaching World viewers can enter to win one of Brazos "Traveler" Walking Sticks. Details if you go here:
The contest goes from now until the end of day October 18th. The drawing will be done live on our show October 19th, 2011. So get your entry in soon!
Oh yeah, we had a theme to tonight's show which was Puzzle Geocaches. We discussed the two basic types which are either the ones where you have to figure out the coordinates to find the geocache or once you found it you had to get the logbook out. Tons of information but you will have to see the entire episode to get it all!
Again a packed show with a full chat room of geocachers and a whole lot of fun throughout. Again the show should be released to iTunes and all our distributors early next week. Stay tuned!
You can join us each and every week as we record Geocaching World on Thursdays at 6:30pm EST. We meet up in the chat room here: www.ustream.tv/channel/rvnn-live
If you are a company who would like to participate with our Geocaching World Cache Stash Sponsorship Program and donate prizes for our show please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
See you next week.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Owners Manual – The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is an entirely contemporary heavy-duty pickup vehicle with significant power and a remarkably processed attitude.
For 2016, the Silverado 2500HD becomes a recently readily available 7-" MyLink touchscreen user interface, while each that user interface and the high quality 8-" edition get a quicker processor chip and Apple Inc CarPlay and Google Android Auto ability. Also, greater-finish models present an adjustable-help directing program, and a gooseneck/5th-tire trailering preparation package joins the choices checklist. Other additional features consist of wi-fi telephone charging you and a distant securing tailgate.
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Trim Levels And Functions
Regular gear for the usual cab WT cut consists of stainless bumpers, 17-" metal tires, an auto-securing rear differential, rubber flooring, vinyl fabric furniture, a 40/20/40-divided front side table with a collapse-lower middle armrest, energy doorway hair, handbook crank house windows, luxury cruise manage, a lean-only controls, a 4.2-" main show and a 4-presenter music system with a USB dock as well as an auxiliary sound jack. The dual- and team-cab WT models get six audio speakers as regular.
Optionally available on the WT is a MyLink 7-" touchscreen infotainment program with OnStar, 4G LTE Wifi, Wireless Bluetooth, speech regulates, satellite stereo and Google Android Auto and Apple Inc CarPlay.
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Performance And miles per gallon
Customers may add a bi-energy choice to the 6.0-liter engine, letting it operate on gas or clean-burning up compressed gas (CNG). Nevertheless, CNG energy productivity falls to 301 hp and 333 lb-feet of torque.
All models arrive regular with rear-tire push and provide the 4-tire push as an alternative. Correctly prepared, the Silverado 2500HD can haul as much as 3,534 lbs and pull as much as 18,000 pounds. Even though these figures differ somewhat from final year, they are a representation of recently implemented SAE specifications rather than any up-to-date equipment.
These trucks apparently aren't designed for velocity, but at the Edmunds check monitor, a diesel-driven Silverado 2500HD LTZ Crew Cab 4WD strike 60 miles per hour from a standing up begin in 6.6 secs. That's fast for a heavy-duty pickup.
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Safety
Regular safety functions for the Silverado 2500HD consist of antilock disc braking system, grip and balance manage (with trailers sway manage), front side and front side-part safety bags and part curtain safety bags. All trims previously mentioned WT are available with OnStar (consists of automated accident notice, on-need curbside support, distant doorway unleashing, taken vehicle support and transform-by-transform menu).
Optionally available safety gear includes a front side, and rear car parking detectors, a rearview camera, and the Motorist Notify package (car parking sensors additionally lane-leaving caution, ahead-crash notify, and a safety notify seat).
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Interior
The Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD's cabin is significantly more contemporary and enjoyable than before thanks to a redesign in 2015. Components high quality is acceptable, and the measure cluster's sharp images ensure it is easily clear night or day. Switchgear is typically sized and positioned correctly, while great big get managers together the front side windowpane pillars assist with ingress and egress. The best Higher Nation cut degree provides single seat brownish natural leather and beautiful highlight sewing on top of the dash for a cabin that blurs the collection among company and luxurious.
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Traveling
About transforms, the large truck's directing has a lighting, exact feel, and body roll is decently managed. Discussing a multiple-stage transform can need lots of tire function, but the adjustable Electronic Directing Help program (on all other than the WT) will contribute to making this kind of circumstances simpler to get around. Even if towing 17,000-lb horse trailers, the 2500HD is created and steady. The beefed-up suspensions underpinnings are designed especially for these types of lots, so a few bulk assists try taking some of the rigidity out of the journey; nevertheless, the vehicle yet trips quite agreeably when it's unladen.

There is a recent article in the Vancouver Sun that talked about renters in Vancouver feeling the pinch to find a good rental property. In particular those with pets, kids and part time employment are getting the boot to the end of the line when it comes to landlords making a final desicion on who whould be renting their investment apartment.
In particular, studio's and one bedroom apartments are renting at higher rates then ever, and the market is astoundingly tight for these particular units.
According to Kennedy Stewart, a researcher at Simon Fraser University, "It comes with urbanization," he said.
"A chronically low vacancy rate is the sign of a city that has to adjust its expectations of lifestyle," he said, adding that people who want to live in high-density areas of "a teenage city" like Vancouver may have to sacrifice living space, vehicles and even furry friends until the new buildings age and owners aren't as concerned about maintaining their pristine condition.
The story in the Vancouver Sun can be found here: http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=671fd888-2bc6-4155-ab52-ffd5569ab654

Width: - Must Select Width
Select Size - Select Size
Building on the past while forging the future, the Nunn Bush Devine Plain Toe Oxford is a timeless style to which we have added modern updates like a sleeker profile, elegant lines of stitching and perfing, plus lightweight, all-day comfort construction.
We use two size scales: AA, A, B, D, E, 3E, 5E and N, M, W. The D and M are equivalent for medium or (standard). The B and N are equivalent for Narrow. The 3E and W are equivalent for Wide. Measure your feet from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Using the conversion tables, find the closest measurement in inches that is equal to or greater than the length of your foot. Then, measure your foot at the widest part and use the chart to find the measurement closest in inches to the width of your foot.
To ensure an accurate reading when measuring, flatten your foot shifting your weight forward.
If you measure between two sizes always go to the larger size.
Measure later in the day. Your feet expand throughout the day.

The Photo Ark
The Photo Ark
This lush book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to take portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His powerful message, conveyed with humor, compassion, and art: to know these animals is to save them.
Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the eloquent prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents a thought-provoking argument for saving all the species of our planet.
Joel Sartore is a photographer, speaker, author, teacher, and a 25-year contributor to National Geographic magazine as well as Audubon, Geo, Time, Life, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated. He has written several books including National Geographic's Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species, Photographing Your Family, and Let's Be Reasonable, a collection of essays from the CBS Sunday Morning show. Sartore and his work have been the subjects of several national broadcasts, including the National Geographic Channel's Explorer, the NBC Nightly News, NPR's Weekend Edition, and an hour-long PBS documentary, At Close Range. He is also a contributor on the CBS Sunday Morning Show with Charles Osgood.
Harrison Ford is an American actor and film producer. He gained worldwide fame for his starring roles as Han Solo in the original Star Wars epic space opera trilogy and the title character of the Indiana Jones film series.
Douglas Chadwick has reported on wildlife around the world, from right whales in the subantarctic to snow leopards in the Himalayas, producing close to 50 articles for National Geographic magazine. He has written 13 books about wildlife and conservation, including several focused on the Rocky Mountains.

It involves the process of assessing your financial situation, determining your objectives and formulating a plan to achieve them. The objective of financial planning is to ensure that the right amount of money is available in the right hands at the right point in the future to achieve an individual's life goals.

NRI Corner
Who is a Non-Resident Indian (NRI)?
A non-resident Indian (NRI) is an Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin who stays abroad for employment, business or vocation outside India, or stays abroad under circumstances indicating an uncertain duration.
Who is a Person of Indian Origin (PIO)?
A Person of Indian Origin means a citizen of any country (other than Bangladesh or Pakistan), if the person: (a) at any time held an Indian passport; or (b) or the person's parents or grandparents were citizens of India; or (c) is a spouse of an Indian citizen, or of a person referred to in (a) or (b) above.
Who is a Foreign Institutional Investor (FII)?
An FII is an institution established or incorporated outside India which proposes to invest in Indian securities and is registered with SEBI.
Who is an Overseas Corporate Body (OCB) ?
An OCB includes overseas companies, partnership firms, societies and other corporate bodies owned predominantly by non-resident persons of Indian nationality or origin outside India.
Can an NRI maintain a bank account in India?
Yes. NRIs can maintain accounts in rupees as well as in foreign currency.
What types of rupee accounts may NRIs maintain?
There are 4 types:
1. Non-resident (External) Rupee Accounts (NRE)
2. Non-Resident (Special) Rupee (NRSR) Account
3. Ordinary Non-resident Rupee Accounts (NRO)
4. Non-resident (Non-repatriable) Rupee deposit accounts (NRNR)
What are NRE, NRO and FCNR accounts?
Non-Resident (External) Rupee (NRE). This is a Rupee account from which funds are freely repatriable. It can be opened with either funds remitted from abroad or local funds which can be remitted abroad.
Non-Resident Ordinary Rupee (NRO). This is a Rupee account and can be opened with funds either remitted from abroad or generated in India. These funds are non-repatriable. However, under certain circumstances, these are allowed to be repatriated.
Fully Convertible Non-Resident Rupee (FCNR). This account is similar to the NRE account except that the funds are held in foreign currencies and can be maintained in Pound Sterling,U.S. Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. FCNR accounts can be maintained only in the form of 'term deposits', i.e. a deposit kept for fixed periods ranging from 6 months to 3 years.
How do NRE, NRO and NRSR accounts differ?
Balances held in NRE accounts can be repatriated abroad freely, whereas funds in NRSR and NRO account cannot be normally remitted abroad but have to be used only for local payments in rupees. Consequently, funds remitted from abroad or local funds which can otherwise be remitted abroad to the accountholder can only be credited to NRE accounts.

The officials should sign the application under their official designation.
The NRIs/PIOs/FIIs may also be required to furnish other documents needed to process their investments.
Does an NRI, FII require any approval from the RBI to invest in mutual funds?
No special approval is required. NRIs/PIOs/FIIs have been granted a general permission by RBI [Schedule 5 of the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident Outside India) Regulations, 2000] for investing in /redeeming units of the funds subject to conditions set out in the aforesaid regulations.
Can an NRI invest in foreign currency?
An NRI cannot make the investment in foreign currency. He needs to give a Rupee cheque from his NRE, NRO, NRSR bank account in India. He may also send a Rupee cheque from abroad payable in a bank in India. However, for an NRI to invest, it is mandatory that he maintains a bank account in India.
What is the mode of payment for Repatriation and Non-Repatriation Basis?
Repatriable Basis. Payments for the purchase of the units may be made by Indian Rupee drafts purchased abroad, or by cheques drawn on the NRE/FCNR Account of the investor, payable at the city where the application form is accepted by any Investor Service Centres.
Non-Repatriable Basis.
Payments for the purchase of the units may be made by Indian Rupee drafts purchased abroad, or by cheques/demand drafts drawn on the NRE/FCNR/NRO/NRSR/NRNR account of the investor, payable at the city where the application form is accepted by any Investor Service Centres.
FII Investors.
FIIs may pay for their subscription amounts by Indian Rupee drafts purchased abroad, or from funds held in a Foreign Currency account or Non-resident Rupee account maintained in a designated branch of an authorised dealer. The Indian Rupee drafts/cheques should be made payable at a city where the application is accepted by any Investor Service Centres.
When will my NRI purchase take effect?
If an application is received before the 3 p.m., Indian Standard Time on any business day, the allocation of units will be based on the NAV of that business day. All applications received after the prescribed time will be treated as having been received on the next business day and the units allotted accordingly.
How does an NRI redeem funds?
In the open-end schemes of mutual fund units can be purchased or redeemed at any point in time. To redeem funds, submit the redemption request to the nearest Investor Service Centre. Your form must contain the investor's folio number and the amount / units you would like to redeem. Redemption requests by telephone, telegram, fax or email that lack valid signatures will not be accepted.
How will the redemption proceeds be paid?
Redemption proceeds will be paid by cheque. The cheque will be payable to the first unitholder and will include the bank account number. Redemption proceeds/repurchase price and/or dividend or income earned (if any) will be payable in Indian Rupees only.
How can the redemption proceeds be repatriated?
The investments shall carry the right of repatriation of capital invested and capital appreciation so long as the investor continues to be a resident outside India.
In the case of an FII, the designated branch of the authorised dealer may allow remittance of net sale/maturity proceeds (after payment of taxes) or credit the amount to the Foreign Currency account or Non-Resident Rupee account of the FII, maintained in accordance with the approval granted to it by the RBI.
In any other case, where the investment is made out of inward remittance or from funds held in the NRE/FCNR account of the investor, the maturity proceeds/repurchase price of units (after payment of taxes) may be credited to the NRE/FCNR/NRO/NRSR account of the non-resident investor maintained with an authorised dealer in India
What about redemption proceeds where investments were made on a non-repatriable basis?
Where the purchase of units is made on a non-repatriable basis, the maturity proceeds/repurchase price of units (after payment of taxes) will not qualify for repatriation and may be credited to the NRO/NRSR account of the non-resident investor.
Where the investment is made out of funds held in a NRSR account, the maturity proceeds/ repurchase price of units (after payment of taxes) may be credited to the NRSR account maintained by the investor with an authorised dealer in India.
Similarly, investments in units purchased in Rupees, where the investor was a resident of India and subsequently becomes a non-resident, will not qualify for repatriation of repurchase proceeds of units.
The entire income distribution on the investment will, however, qualify for full repatriation. Investors are advised to contact their banks/tax consultants if they desire remittance of the income distribution on units abroad.
Is the income/dividend on mutual fund units repatriable?
The investments shall carry the right of repatriation of capital invested and capital appreciation so long as the investor continues to be a resident outside India. In the case of an FII, the designated branch of the authorised dealer may allow remittance of net sale/maturity proceeds (after payment of taxes) or credit the amount to the Foreign Currency account or Non-resident Rupee account of the FII maintained in accordance with the approval granted to it by the RBI. In any other case, where the investment is made out of inward remittance or from funds held in NRE/FCNR account of the investor, the maturity proceeds/repurchase price of units (after payment of taxes) may be credited to NRE/FCNR/NRO/NRSR account of the non-resident investor maintained with an authorised dealer in India.
What is the tax liability on redemptions?
Under Section 2(42A) of the Income Tax Act, units of the fund held as a capital asset for a period of more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer, will be treated as a long-term capital asset for the computation of capital gains, thus qualifying for the long-term capital gains tax rate. In all other cases, it would be treated as a short-term capital asset and would be taxed at the short-term capital gains tax rate.
What is the tax liability for income received from your mutual funds?
As per Section 10(35) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, income received from mutual fund units specified under Section 10(23D) is exempt from income tax in India and the mutual funds are subject to pay distribution tax in debt oriented schemes. Hence all dividends are tax-free in the hands of non-resident investors and no TDS is applicable on the same.
Is it mandatory to have a Permanent Account Number (PAN)?
It is not mandatory to have a PAN for an NRI even if the investment amount is greater than Rs. 50,000. PAN would however, be required if the NRI is required to file a return in India or claim a refund of any taxes paid.
How does one apply for a PAN?
An application is required to be made in Form 49A� (Download)
What is the proof of the Tax Deduction at Source?
A TDS certificate is issued in the name of the investor mentioning the details of the transaction and the tax deducted. The TDS certificate is commonly known as Form16 A.
When will the TDS certificate be issued?
A TDS certificate (Form 16A) will be despatched to the investor at his or her registered address along with the redemption warrant.
Can an NRI have a joint account in a mutual fund with a resident Indian?
Yes. An NRI investor can jointly own a fund account with a resident Indian or a Non-resident Indian.
Is the indexation benefit available to NRIs?
Yes, if units are held for more than 12 months i.e. on long-term capital gains.
Are fund units liable to the wealth tax?
No. Units issued to overseas investors will not be treated as assets as defined under section 2(ea) of the Wealth-Tax Act, 1957 and hence will not be liable to wealth tax.
Can dividend received from a mutual fund in an NRO account be repatriated?
Yes. Income generated from investments (dividend, in this case) done on a non-repatriable basis qualify for full repatriation.
Can an NRI fax a request followed by the original documents?
No. Units cannot be redeemed or allotted on the basis of fax applications. A request that lacks a valid signature cannot be processed due to legal restrictions.
Can a Power of Attorney (POA) invest on behalf of the NRI investor?
Yes. unlike banks where a POA holder cannot open an account on behalf of the NRI, in a mutual fund the POA has the authority to invest on behalf of the investor and sign documents for initial and additional purchases as well as redemptions.
While applying for purchase of units the POA holder needs to submit the original POA or a copy duly notarised should be submitted. The Power of attorney should contain the signature of both the first holder and the POA holder. Only when the POA is registered does the POA holder have the right to transact on behalf of the NRI investor. His signature will be verified for processing any transaction/request.
Is nomination by NRIs allowed in Mutual Funds?
Yes. It is allowed only for Individuals/HUFs.
Can a resident Indian have an NRI as nominee?
Yes. The same rules apply for nominees to resident Indian accounts. An NRI can be a nominee to an account which is in the name of a resident Indian.
Investments by U.S Person
There are certain mutual funds which do not permit investments in their schemes as these are entities who are also governed by the laws in US (for eg Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund) and the Schemes have not been registered in the United States of America under the Securities Act of 1933 which is a mandatory requirement for these fund houses. Applicants for Units may be required to declare that they are not a U.S. Person and are not applying for Units on behalf of any U.S. Person.
The term "U.S. Person" shall mean any person that is a United States Person within the meaning of Regulations under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as the definition of such term may be changed from time to time by legislation, rules, regulations or judicial or administrative agency interpretations.
Funds presently not eligible for investments by US residents are:
Fidelity Mutual Fund
Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund
HSBC Mutual Fund
PNB Principal Mutual Fund
Essentially life insurance provides financial protection to your family and dependents in the event of any unforeseen event or your untimely death. To cover you under a life insurance policy, an insurance company will charge you a certain sum of money (called the premium) periodically. The premium paid helps cover the risk that the life insurance company takes by insuring your life and in turn entitles your family to receive a fixed lump sum.
The premium you pay depends on a variety of factors including age, health and the amount of life cover you want to name a few. However, premiums are typically lower for younger, healthier people, so starting early is always beneficial for you. Thus, through insurance, a person buys security and protection.
The 10 Commandments of Successful Investing:-
Commandment 1: Don't attempt to time the market
Timing the market is no guessing matter. To the little investor, timing the market is like taking a random walk. Most people only recognise the correct path after already having set foot on the wrong one. One exception to this is "bottom-fishing", an approach to buy stocks that you want in your portfolio at prices below the prevailing levels. This entails biding your time and buying into a market downturn before the others do (the age-old philosophy of buying low, selling high). The downside of this approach being that the stock you want may never see the downside you expect.
Commandment 2: Don't try to outguess the market
Market psychology is for shrinks, not for couch potatoes like we humans. What captures the imagination of the market is transient. This means that what is "in" today is "out" tomorrow. Most people only recognise the pattern after it has become apparent to almost everyone else and is too late to act upon. For example, if investment in technology appears to be the current flavour, you are probably already too late to cash in on the trend. In this instance, you should only invest in technology as part of a long-term balanced approach.
Commandment 3: Treat investing like marriage--go for the long haul
Short-term investing could go either way. Invest for the long term. Almost all market pundits and investment studies show that stock investing should be part of a long-term strategy, lasting for five to ten, or even 20, years or longer. Beware that not every year will result in a positive return on your investment. However, over time the plus will likely overwhelm the minus by a substantial margin.
Commandment 4: Stay clear of broker's advice, hot tips and "multibaggers"
Every portfolio advisor is not Invest Right (J) who swears by sound investment principles. Think. Wouldn't most brokers be tempted to make their living by goading their clients to constantly move in and out of positions, thus garnering commissions? This is diametrically opposite to Commandments 1, 2 and 3. For most people, stock advice is like a game--of darts! Only accept advice if the person has your financial interest in mind and is not making a living by selling your stock. Of course never buy from someone who calls on you and gives you advice. J
Commandment 5: Almost always invest in blue chips and blue chips-to-be
Do invest in companies that are considered blue chips. These include not only the BSE 100, but also the others that are slowly stepping into the big league. Invest only in established companies with a good track record. Beware that not every blue chip will rise after you buy it, and that even these otherwise stellar performers will have their good months/years and bad months/years. But over time, the fluctuations will even out and you would be left with a considerable net plus. Also invest in companies that have a good record of declaring dividends (and if you find the solitary one that increases its dividend pay-out each year...you know what to do).
Commandment 6: Prefer steady installment-like buying of stock to buying at one go
Investing should never be done in panic or be treated as an emergency. Purchasing your favourite few is best accomplished at a steady rate over time, so as to avoid the ups and downs of the market. This is called rupee cost averaging and is one of the safest approaches to investing. It works just like any other habit: you buy, regardless whether the price is up or down, until you reach the desired number of shares of that stock.
Commandment 7: Diversify, diversify and diversify
Do diversify your portfolio, both within your selected sectors and within the overall industry. For example, don't invest in only technology because it happens to be in vogue but consider the other industries as well.
Commandment 8: No shopping with borrowed money and maintain a core reserve
Never use margin money to buy stocks. You should not invest money you don't have. A simple and basic rule is to not leverage yourself to an extent that when the tide turns against you, all you are left with is nothing.
You never know when a financial emergency might arise. That's why you must keep a comfortable cash reserve in your savings account, so you do not have to tap into your long-term investments. A reserve equal to six months of salary should be just about ideal.
Commandment 9: Set realistic financial goals
Treat a 500% return with as much derision as you would a 5% return. Decide what you need the money for: To retire early, to finance your kid's college education or to fund your daughter's marriage or just to preserve and build wealth? Whatever the goal you set, make sure it is reasonable and attainable. Expecting too much will only lead to disappointment down the road. Aim for an expected return level that is realistic--not mediocre or overambitious.
Commandment 10: There are 10 more commandments
For those who thought that was the last of the ten commandments I have good news. There's more. Ensure that your portfolio size is controllable (15 stocks is about ideal) and your stocks are well researched. Checkpoints: Is the management quality above board? Does the company have a positive cash flow? Does it have the capability to compete on a global scale? Most importantly, is it shareholder friendly?
Finally, leave your emotions behind when you enter the world of investing. Follow the ten commandments. Time is on your side. Investment success won't happen overnight, so stay focused on long-term returns and avoid overreacting to short-term market swings. Remember, investment success depends on time, not timing.

Bill Self, who has signed a new 10-year contract that will provide him a guaranteed $3 million a year through March of 2018, has one wish for the next decade.
"In my perfect world, everybody will be happy the next 10 years, that we continue to recruit good guys and we win. That's my hope. That everybody involved with KU is happy," Self said in a cell phone conversation with the Journal-World Wednesday -the day details of his newly signed contract were released to the public.
"I love KU. It's where we (he and his family) want to be," noted Self, who was completing a short vacation at Pine Valley Golf Course in New Jersey. "I felt the administration always has been fair with me since I've been here. They looked out for me when we had back-to-back losses in the first round to Bucknell and Bradley and are looking out for me (financially) after our success the last couple years."
That includes last season's national championship. After the season, Self's alma mater (Oklahoma State) came calling. KU athletic director Lew Perkins stepped to the plate and made sure Self stayed at KU. Perkins concocted a deal that will pay Self an annual salary of $229,900, unchanged from his previous contract which paid him an annual total of $1,610,600.
The compensation package also includes an annual payment of $2,270,100 for professional services, which may include educational, public relations and promotional duties as assigned by Perkins.
Such duties could include the production of any radio or television shows, Internet features or Self's occasional endorsement of products affiliated with and approved by Kansas Athletics or its marketing partners.
Additionally, the compensation package includes a tax-free retention agreement that pays Self $500,000 for each year during the contract that he serves as Kansas' head coach.
"Lew and I visited. We talked about many things," said Self, 45. "We talked about my assistant coaches, secretaries, staff, facilities, living arrangements (for athletes at soon-to-be renovated Jayhawker Towers). The last part was me," Self said.
"There were no negotiations with Lew. He asked what I thought was important. I said facilities (including new practice facility), taking care of my assistants and staff. He was telling me what he was thinking. I said, 'I think that would be fantastic.' I was hopeful of close to a 10-year deal. We talked about number of years. There was no negotiating on the dollar amount," added Self, who believes he'll "still want to continue coaching" when the deal runs out at age 55.
Perkins arrived at the $3 million figure, which could rise to $3,425,000 if Self reaches all of his contract incentives. It's believed Florida's Billy Donovan is the country's highest-paid coach at a public institution at $3.5 million a year. Duke's Mike Krzyzewski reportedly makes more than Donovan, but the private school will not release details of Coach K's pact. Texas' Rick Barnes is previously highest paid coach in the Big 12 with a salary reported at $2 million. As far as public institutions, the $30 million compensation to Self is believed to be the largest financial commitment a school has committed to a college hoops coach.
"Bill was great to work with. There were no issues at all, zero. These were two willing parties, the university and coach, and we sat down and agreed to a lot of things quickly," Perkins said. "I think the university is extremely pleased we were able to keep Bill here and we are excited about that. He has done a tremendous job here and he deserves what we are paying him."
For 10 years.
"I had no problem with it. We want him here 10 years," Perkins stressed of the length of the deal, which has no buyout clause if Self ever decides to leave KU.
Perkins said he believes the new deal makes Self one of the top-five-paid coaches in the country, but there's no way of telling for sure with so many complicated clauses and incentives in contracts. For instance, Self's deal includes benefits such as use of two automobiles, a $2 million life insurance policy, travel expenses for his wife and two children attending games outside of Lawrence, right to hold a summer camp and clinics, 10 tickets to each home game and six tickets to each away game.
"We never discussed that," Perkins said of other coaches' deals. "There are so many different ways people do it. It's complicated. Everybody has a different format. What I try to do is call around the country, people I have confidence and trust in. Our goal was not to put coach (Self) one, two or three. We wanted to pay him what we thought he deserved to be paid. There are all kinds of other ways to make income for a coach."
"Maybe I'm up there pretty high," Self acknowledged, adding the years make him most happy. "There's no reason to do a rollover (contract). My thinking is 10 years is plenty of time if people get tired of me after that they have the right to tell me to move on."
Self declined to reveal his assistants' pay, only saying of their raises: "I'd say (they are) substantial." KU has not yet released details of his assistants' contracts. The figures will not rival Kansas State's Dalonte Hill, who makes $400,000 per annum.
Self reiterated he's hoping to stay at KU a long time. He addressed rumors that the NBA might come calling.
"I have no crystal ball. I am not on anybody's short list that I am aware of. To be honest, I will not say that (NBA) will never pique my interest. Certainly not in the near future. I have too good a job here at Kansas," Self said.
KU football coach Mark Mangino recently signed an extension that will pay him $2.3 million per year through 2012.
Does anyone know where Bill stands historically in win totals both at KU and nationwide? I'm wondering, if he keeps winning during the next 10 years at the pace he has been so far (something like 30 games a season), how long it will take for him to start getting into really monster numbers? Any info would be appreciated.
only 3 or 4?
As for the T. Boone Pickens references... the man is right on track. Natural gas cars? Sure thing. City buses have been running on that energy source for more than 10 years and it is 2/3 less polluting than conventional petroleum-based fuels.Wind farms? Sure thing. Kansas is in THE prime location (geographically and historically) to position itself as the next 'Saudi Arabia' of wind energy. Cost to develop the infrastructure? Less than the cost of one year of the current Mid-East military conflagration.Off shore drilling? Ha! Talk about sticking one's finger in a dike. That will do nothing but prolong the ever-decaying energy situation as we know it.The USA used to the be the trend setter for innovation. Isn't it time to live up to our own expectations of ourselves and lay the groundwork for a new and prosperous tomorrow... with the US at the front of the charge?ps- Go Bill Self... or whatever.
On a side note - I appreciate T Boone's efforts in the renewable energy front... I disagree w/ the "natural gas cars" aspect, but appreciate that he is spending some money to push the issue further into the public discussion...
Congratulations Coach Self.The rest of us need to be ready for the ticket price increases and the donation increases to pay for it.The money doesn't just fall out of the sky into the man's pocket, ya know.That's not a complaint. Coach deserves it. My point is that we all need to keep in mind the financial facts of life that make it happen.
JJHawq - grin... you are right , you are way off to the side.
Making Self AD when Lew retires would certainly solve the communication problem with a new AD.But Self will probably turn pro as soon as his kids are out of the nest a few years.Self has a chance to equal Larry Brown now and win at both levels. If the right organization with the right money comes along, Self is gone after five more years. He has too many L's in his early years to make a serious run at Coach K's eventual W record, which will be 950 or a 1000 games. Self's immediate goal is to win a couple more rings at KU and cement himself as KU's most legendary coach of the modern era. The only brass ring that might matter to him now is getting an NBA title. I believe he will get one.
Having Perkins and Self come here has worked out great for us, I hope they can keep the machine going for many years to come.
Ten years ... can we assume that this would carry him through his son Tyler's graduation from KU?
This is the news that we'd been waiting for. Now let's just keep the NBA out of our hair and win at least 3-4 more national championships. I have little doubt that Coach Self will establish KU as the program that all others want to emulate over the next decade.
I'm glad we've sewn up Bill Self for the next decade. But, I'm inclined to think that the way players and coaches at the pro level and coaches at the college level can opt out of supposed contracts at any point he may not stay the entire duration.My concern revolves around the idea of what happens if Lew leaves or retires. We all know what an A.D. (good and bad) can do for lines of communication. Anyway, for now all is great and I couldn't be happier. I agree with a previous poster who mentioned the "golden age" of KU basketball. I think we're looking at a possible dynastic level of success over the next few years. Also to JayCeph... You said: "Off shore drilling? Ha! Talk about sticking one's finger in a dike. That will do nothing but prolong the ever-decaying energy situation as we know it."I would only suggest that the situation is ever-decaying because we haven't done any drilling in three decades. Rock Chalk!
To all posters on this board,I hope we're showing the same love to HCBS during the not-so fervent years. I've seen a certain degree of "fickleness" on this board before.
"To be honest, I will not say that (NBA) will never pique my interest. Certainly not in the near future."--Bill SelfCoach Self sought and got long term security, but he can only be sure that he won't jump to the NBA in the near future.Congratulations, Coach Self, you've got KU security AND an interest in leaving for the NBA after the near future.Let's not hear any complaining about athletes saying how much they love being at KU, while testing the waters in the NBA draft.Coach, or player, in D1, you've got to be VERY comfortable with ambiguity.
txrockchalk,I'm an optimistic sceptic, not a pessimist. ;-)
Self. You kick @ss.
This all couldnt be happening to a nicer, more deserving person than Bill Self. A proper reward, well earned in exemplary fashion. So many adjectives to simply describe the superlative...If anyone has ever met him in person, he is so personable, friendly--you cant help but like the guy. And the job he has done at KU, wow. A complete style of basketball, with proper decision-making required by all positions, with deftly recruited athleticism and depth added, all performing as a team on offense, defense, and all done without egos. What an outstanding representative for the University of Kansas, the BigXII, and the sport of college basketball. And certainly for the lives of the young men he will help mentor.
Congrats Coach Self! This is indeed what we've been waiting for as fans/alumni. Jayhawk nation should be feeling pretty good right now considering we just locked up the head coaching positions for both fb and bb with two of the nation's best!Now, are you ready for some football?RCJHGKU!
Bill---Re: NBASee Tim Floyd and Rick Pitino (among others)Well done Lew....the no negotiation was beautiful.
Self is 142-32 at Kansas, and 349-137 overall. He will turn 46 in December. To average 30 wins/season for the next ten years would be tough, but I don't think 25 is all that unreasonable. That would put him at 599 at age 56. I'll let you take the speculation from there.
Bill Self gets 10 years......view it as karma but the Roman numeral for 10 is X......that's right my Jayhawks fans, Xavier Henry is neXtROCK CHALK JAYHAWK KU!!!!
Good grief.Bill Self just won a National Championship, turned down big money from an oil man, and signed a 10 year contract.Now we have fans, making predictions trying to almost push the guy out the door in a few years!WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT? Bill Self BY HIS ACTIONS has made a long term commitment to KU. He's prooven that he's a quality coach and can win the big prize.Picking apart the man's comments after he's prooven his intentions by signing a long term deal? Talk about negativity.Heyyyyy....... that's productive......Let's start a bunch of unsubstantiated rumors.....Let's get everyone talking about him leaving....Let's get all the recruits wondering how long Coach will be at KU......This unfounded speculation is the most illogical, asinine, irresponsible, and ridiculous load of bull excrement that can possibly be interpreted from this situation. He is OUR coach.Here are a few thoughts for everyone....Maybe he LIKES LAWRENCE?Maybe he wants to stay here and retire here?Maybe he wants stability for his family?Ever think of that?Of course anything is possible. He would be irresponsible to say otherwise. What is PROBABLE? C'mon people. How many coaches in the history of college basketball have EVER signed a 10 year contract?What does THAT say about his intentions?Have fun people. We just won a National Championship and got a long term commitment from a great coach who loves being here. LIFE IS GOOD! If you want to go bash something.... go bash tigger and kitty fans. That's what they are made for!
The great thing about his deal is that Self made it a point to upgrade the entire program and not just cash in his own chips. Taking care of facilities and assistant coaches are signs that HCBS liked the taste of the national championship and that the marginal benefit of another NC means more to him than another million in the bank.
Imagine Coach Self's record if he were at UCLA, or UNC, where it has been historically easier to recruit more of the best players. At KU he is 81.6%. What? Would he be undefeated at UCLA? :-) Oops. I forgot Roy as a case study. Maybe its not easier to recruit to UNC. Isn't Roy winning at about the same clip at UNC that he did at KU? Is there a law of diminishing returns in recruiting advantage as one reaches top programs?
Self just keeps the TRADITION well in tact. He has and has had support all over.
I do believe that at KU he has the highest winning percentage of any coach in the country. Anyone care to correct me? I'm pretty sure that's the case.
T Bone's wind plan isn't really about power generation.T Bone is trying to get eminent domain rights to build a pipeline to steal water from aquifers that run all the way up to Kansas and send it to Dallas.If he succeeds Kansas irrigation will suffer. Farmers will suffer. Food prices will increase. Google "T Boone Water rights" to learn more.Wind power can do a lot, but that's not what T Bone is going after. It's a "pipe" dream. His wind farms and power lines to feed them to a grid is just a smoke screen for water.
I agree and the somewhat overweight football coach ain't a bad deal either.
I'm glad to see KU pay Bill like he deserves. There's no place like Kansas. First class all the way.
It is defintely great to see this commitment from the administration to coaches who produce great athletes and good men. I would love to see HCBS retire from KU and get a statue across from Phog Allen. Can't wait for the upcoming seasons of both FB and BB.
Out of all the things in this article what I found interesting was Self indicating that the administration "looked out for me when we had back-to-back losses in the first round to Bucknell and Bradley". Kind of tells me there was someone with influence beating down the administration door and asking for a head on a platter.Interesting how things can turn out.
jaybate - Always the optomist ;)zissou - bmkjayhawk beat me to the totals. According to the media guide and adding this season's record, here is Bill Self's all-time coaching record:55-54 / .505 (Oral Roberts)74-27 / .733 (Tulsa)78-24 / .764 (Illinois)142-32 / .816 (Kansas)-------------------349-137 / .718 (overall)
I can't imagine why the negotiations would take any time at all.Let's see... someone offers me roughly 3+ million a year for a guaranteed 10 years... Before the ping could clear the ether, I would've accepted!In this day and age when everyone is scared for their jobs from one month to the next, this is a major no-brainer.Congrats to Self. Now, let's see those numbers translate to continued success on the hardwood.Rock Chalk!
The guy who deserves the credit for Lew and Bill is long-forgotten. Drew Jennings, interium AD for six months, hired both . . . during tumultuous times! Props and kudos to Drew Jennings.Remember to greet your KU friends with "Rock Chalk." It drives the Tiggers crazy!
Basically we regular posters here can be analyzed by our content and conviction, and the way we analyze things. Some even have self-insight. Case-in-point: Jaybate. One might interpret his 'cautionary' analysis of Self's soundbites as Jaybate being a 'cup half-empty guy'. Nothing wrong with it, but it does jump out at me because I am an optimist, and for most of us this is a huge time of pride and revelry in all things Jayhawk. I am so happy for Self. I love his style of complete basketball. He deserves what he has earned as his salary. I liked Roy. I think Bill is better. And certainly the best coach the somewhat-geographically-challenged Univ. of KS can have is this era, as our guy can recruit em from all over, AND get them to check their egos at the door. I personally am not going to worry about some hypothetical situation that may not ever happen. Heck, I dont even worry about dying, and that is guaranteed to happen! There's the optimist again...Nothing against Jaybate (love his posts), but Self has given me no reason for skepticism yet.
Good call, 741hawk! Dru Jennings was the man who guided the ship before Perkins came aboard. Also, I have to agree with 5Decade. What more can we ask of Bill Self? He turned down OSU and signed a long term deal at Kansas. What more is there? He answered honestly when asked about the NBA. Better to leave the door open (we all know it is) than definitively say he's here for life. Remember how we all reacted the last time that happened..."I'll be here until I retire or die..."The man is 46 (I think) and has been a member of the KU family for only 6 of those years (one in the 80s plus the last 5). He isn't born and bred like a lot of us...

I suppose I should say something about writing. I'm editing. There, that's it! The good old Work In Progress is progressing. The other one is bubbling along. Other things are being explored too, making art, learning another language and yes, an exciting trip coming up. Enjoying a new, yet familiar place I have moved to. Cooking and walking. Sunshine – there is more of it- and warmth. Busyness and peace. Deciduous woodlands, rolling green hills and birdsong.

The ambitions of a working-class lass
I have mentioned previously that I didn't get birthday and Christmas presents every year as a child. My mother was an old-fashioned orthodox and stuck by the rules. One of the gifts I did get however was this typewriter, after a lot of pressure from little me. The guitar was not forth-coming. I banged on and on about wanting a writing machine.
And we got one. I can't recall where from.
I worked away on it for a few years from the age of ten to eighteen. Churning out poetry, songs, lots of letters for Amnesty, Greenpeace, BUAV, to distant people. Then it got forgotten. I threw away all my written work, including the poems I had won competitions with as a young dark romantic. My era of being precocious, as some of my teachers often called me, had gone.
It was simple. There was no choice. After a long time of little work someone needed to bring in the bread. So I got a full time job, ditching the idea of college to do English or maybe Art, and worked full-time for a few years.
In that time I did keep on with the acrylics and drawings, churning out stuff people wanted – like a painting of the photograph they took of their holiday place, religious iconography, copies of The Last Supper.
Then I decided to fuck the tedious job with the civil service and go do a degree. Typically I gave myself two options – community work or art and design (textiles). I went for the former. The place I lived in was no longer a world textiles centre but a decaying region all around me. It looked like there was work to be done with people.
Is there always an excuse to not write? Or do we sometimes prioritise other things out of duty, compassion and solidarity. And do we come to realise eventually that the original idea, way or thought was perhaps the best one. Can we do both. Can we achieve working class solidarity, social humanism – through words.
I stand at the same crossroads. But this time, the two will be together. People and Art. Rights and Words. This time I do not ditch the stories in me. And neither should any other working class person. Don't let art be a bourgeoisie enclave. Write the way you want to. Make it from the heart and soul. Write for you and your people.
I vant to be alone…
As my Ninocha-esque WIP develops and I manage to make it younger with a dash of fun and spoof I remember all the things that I enjoy and have enjoyed throughout my life.
To be alone with my thoughts, to work things out in my head, to create and invent, laugh and declare. To disagree, move on, embrace the new.
I am learning all the time, every day. I am learning to write and re-write, to let go. I am re-learning the thing I love the most – the process. It's between me and my imagination right now.

In what must have been one of Stuart Pearce's most difficult weeks as manager, fans were at last given something to cheer about as City registered a rare victory against Arsenal; the last home win against them being December 1991.
As well as being our first win of the season, it was also our first goal, albeit from a penalty, but they all count.
It was a very close and tense match which either side could have won; luckily for us it was City who rode their luck better and we hung on to win with ironically the classic Arsenal 1 – 0 scoreline.
With all the turmoil of 'that tackle' this week, the players responded well and they looked a different side from the one that disappointed so much against Pompey earlier in the week.
The first half saw both sides trading attacks with Arsenal hitting the woodwork twice with City also having a number of attempts on goal. Nicky Weaver continued his excellent early season form with a couple of fine saves with his legs and if Isaksson were fit now, Psycho find it hard to drop Weaver, but that's a nice problem for him to have for a change.
The first half was heading towards stalemate, when a clumsy challenge by Hoyte on Sinclair resulted in a penalty which was confidently converted by Barton and gave Lehmann ( surely the most unpopular 'keeper in the Premiership) absolutely no chance.
City held firm in the second half and although there were flashes of brilliance from Fabregas and Walcott, the Gooners never really looked like scoring, despite a string of dubious free kicks given outside the City area. A disappointing Henry failed to get any on target despite every assistance from referee, Uriah Rennie.
Apart from the result and the overall team performance, high-points for City were the contributions of Dunne, Distin, Barton and Dickov, but my own personal man of the match was new boy Bernado Corradi, who led the line strongly almost on his own and gave us a glimpse of why Psycho bought him. With Hamman, Isaksson,Trabelsi and Cole still to come, things should now be looking up for City.
After the game there was the customary bleatings by the Gooners about not getting decisions from the referee, but claims for a penalty when Van Persie seemed to go down rather easily were quite rightly ignored. There was of course no mention of the many dubious decisions just outside the City area, and the fact that almost every 50-50 decision went to them, but that's football for you.
Well done City; now let's build on this !
Player Ratings:
Weaver – 8
Richards – 7
Dunne – 9
Distin – 8
Jordan – 7
Sinclair – 7
Barton – 8
Dabo – 6
Vassell – 6
Dickov – 8
Corradi – 9 ( My M.O.M )
City Register First Win of Season
In what must have been one of Stuart Pearce's most difficult weeks as manager, fans were at last given something to cheer about as City registered a rare victory against Arsenal; the last home win against them being December 1991.

Mobility in Office 2010
Microsoft Office 2010 provides you powerful new ways to deliver your best work - whether you're at work or at home, whether you are travelling in a cab or on a flight, whether you are working on a PC, browser or phone. By offering more ways to access your files from virtually anywhere, Office 2010 puts you in control.
As part of Wednesday's Office 2010 Beta Announcement we announced the availability of the Office Mobile 2010 Beta -- today's post describes some of the exciting work we've done related to mobility in more detail. Specifically, we'll talk more about the experiences that make Office 2010 the mobile information worker's best set of productivity tools on the phone.
Basically, there're two major offerings we provide for mobile information workers to work on their Office documents. Depending primarily on the type of phone you have, you get to choose whichever way works best for you or is available to you. One way is with Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 and another is with Microsoft Office 2010 Mobile Viewers. We'll discuss both in detail below, but in short….
…If you are using a Windows Phone
l You get both options. If you want to modify your Office documents, you can use Office Mobile 2010 applications providing rich user experience which customers of Microsoft Office client applications are familiar with. If you just want to quickly view the documents, you can use Office 2010 Mobile Viewers which display your documents in mobile IE browser. We will walk you through the different scenarios in upcoming posts so you know which option might work best for you.
…If you are using a phone built on a non-Windows Platform
l You get the Office 2010 Mobile Viewers option only. As previously mentioned, you get to view the Office documents in your mobile browser whether you have smartphones like iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Symbians or non-smartphones.
The Beta for Office Mobile 2010 is available worldwide in Windows Marketplace for Mobile for Windows Mobile 6.5 phones. To try the Office 2010 Mobile Viewer, you need to have the Office Web Apps installed on your company's Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and then you can use explorer on your phone to view Office documents on the server (read this Office Web App blog post for more information on how to deploy the Web Apps in the enterprise).
In future blog posts, we will explore tips and tricks for the different apps and tools Microsoft Office provides to meet the demands of your busy life on-the-go with your mobile device. In the meantime, enjoy the information below and we hope to hear your feedback soon!
Office Mobile 2010
Use Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 on your Windows phone to get the familiar Microsoft look and feel as well as the services that you're used to.
Even when you're on the road, you can view Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office PowerPoint documents sent as email attachments.
Word Mobile 2010, Excel Mobile 2010 and PowerPoint Mobile 2010
Office Mobile 2010 also makes it easy for you to review documents on the move by adding the ability to edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. So use your commute time in a cab or on a flight to customize an existing presentation by hiding or rearranging slides, reviewing speaker notes, and even adding new notes as you rehearse. What's more, you can now use your Windows phone as a presentation aid that enables you to control the slideshow and simultaneously view notes as you engage more effectively with your audience.
View images and animations. SmartArt graphics are preserved. Easily manage slides.
Using OneNote Mobile, you can take and manage personal notes on your Windows phone. You can even record voice or take pictures using the phone and bring them to OneNote Mobile or share your notes with your PC and refer to them when you are away.
Capture multimedia notes with ease. Take & insert a picture or voice recording and organize your notes with lists.
In addition to files and e-mail attachments, if you get a link to content hosted on SharePoint Online or on SharePoint 2010, you can access it using SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010, which enables you to browse sites, document libraries, and lists from the comfort of your Windows phone.
Access multiple sites and libraries, view and sync libraries easily and access your content offline.
We've also done work to allow you to save edited documents to the phone and just synchronize them back to the server in case you lose your mobile connection.
Office 2010 Mobile Viewers
With your mobile device browser, Office 2010 Mobile Viewers will help you stay organized, get things done, and present information by keeping Office at your fingertips.
Office 2010 Mobile Viewers enable you to view Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files in an easy to read small-screen format that maintains high fidelity. Office 2010 Mobile Viewers target a wide range of devices and micro browsers so that people with or without smartphones can take the advantage of the cool features without having to upgrade your mobile phone. Here are a few examples.
Viewing product sales documents on your mobile phone
Imagine you are sitting in the airport when your colleague calls you and says that the inventory data sheet and promotion document you are going to share with the customers later has been modified and saved back on the SharePoint server to reflect the latest status. You don't need to bother turning on your laptop. You open up your browser from your mobile phone, connect to your team SharePoint portal, select the inventory data sheet, and quickly see the new inventory diagram. You then click on promotion document and see that the visuals have been revamped. You feel confident before you walk on the plane knowing that the customers will surely be happy with your presentation later.
Excel Mobile Viewer and Excel Mobile Viewer functionalities
Word Mobile Viewer – image view and the Word Mobile Viewer – text view.
Joining a meeting and viewing the presentation on your mobile phone
Office 2010 Mobile Viewers also go beyond just allowing you to view your own files. Imagine you're stuck in a traffic jam are going to be late for a meeting that starts in 5 minutes. Now you pull out your mobile phone and pop open the email you received from the meeting presenter that contains a URL to the presentation broadcast ("Broadcasting presentation" is a new feature supported by PowerPoint 2010 that will be talked about in more detail in the future). You can now participate in the call and view the current slide in real time as the presentation moves along.
PowerPoint Mobile Viewer – image view and PowerPoint Mobile Viewer – outline view.
We hope you're as excited about Office Mobile 2010 as we are! Future posts will walk you through each of the above mobile productivity tools in more detail so when they are released you'll be able to use them as we do and improve your productivity on the go.
Update: Replace the images of "Excel Mobile Viewer" and "PowerPoint Mobile Viewer" with updated ones. No description or other content has been changed in the update.

"Search and you will find."
I didn't know that from just an invigorating smell that exudes therapeutic inspiration can offer so much more -information- I learnt that it comes in Essential Oil as well, with all its aromatic goodness, and astringent properties. I have tried various of scented candles for as long as I can remember, from Yankee candles to home-made candles (but- I have yet to convince myself to splurge on Jo Malone, though). Hopefully, they will come to me as a gift one day!
The smell of fresh cut grass right in the middle of a meadow land… is quintessentially Citronella, a different species of Lemongrass (Cymbopogen).
It's an outdoor candle for a reason, and it may look distastefully pink to suit it's concept as 'Summer Blooms' but it lasts and lasts, for almost a month, on a daily basis ritual. The presence it gives, as soon as you enter your home, is truly an experience. I promise you, it won't gives you headache, in fact, it eliminates it!
Citronella Summer Blooms Outdoor Candle by Spaas The Candle Experience. Supplied by Cargo HomeMaker
P.S.: If only there is an infused scented candle of Bunga Rampai, I'll be the first to join in venture!
Bunga Rampai – Rampai means assorted. Bunga rampai is therefore an assortment of flowers.
What kind of flowers are used? Jasmine, frangipani,kesidang and ros kampung. Fragrant leaves of pandanus and rough skinned lime are shredded to mix with the flowers, and–perfume as well. All these lovely ingredients are put into a small basket made of screw pine and smoked with incense.
Bunga rampai is used in many important occasions of the Malay folks : circumcision, graduation of Koran study, shaving a baby's hair, funeral , wedding etc. In a Malay wedding, it is an essential dowry item and is smoked all night long in the nuptial chamber.
