Documentary Film by Christy Turlington Burns Features Planned Parenthoods Work in Guatemala
Film to Debut Mothers Day Weekend on OWN the Oprah Winfrey Network
In her new documentary, No Woman, No Cry, Christy Turlington Burns shares the very personal story of how unexpected hemorrhaging after the birth of her first child nearly led to her death. The life-threatening experience led Turlington Burns to investigate the medical conditions faced by women with similar pregnancy complications around the world.
No Woman, No Cry contrasts Turlington Burns own ready access to emergency medical care with the deadly consequences faced by 358,000 women who die annually from pregnancy-related causes in countries with less developed health systems. The film features the work of Dr. Linda Valencia in the prevention of unsafe abortion and the treatment of its consequences in Guatemala. Dr. Valencia directs Planned Parenthood Federation of Americas (PPFAs) support for programs in Guatemala.
Abortion is illegal in Guatemala, except to preserve the life of a woman. These legal restrictions do not prevent it from taking place, but rather drive women to seek black market procedures under unsanitary conditions. Each year, 65,000 unsafe abortions are performed in the country, resulting in the hospitalization of over 20,000 Guatemalan women.
An unintended pregnancy puts a woman under enormous pressure and forces her to make a difficult decision, said Dr. Valencia. Those who make it to the hospital after obtaining unsafe abortions show up in our wards nearly dead. As a doctor, it is heartbreaking to see so many women die of wholly preventable causes.
Dr. Valencia leads PPFAs efforts to improve access to reproductive health care for women and their families in Guatemala. PPFA supports programs that focus on reducing unintended pregnancy, the root cause of unsafe abortion, by improving women and girls access to sex education and contraception; and in training local medical providers in how to treat complications from unsafe abortions.
No Woman, No Cry debuts on OWN the Oprah Winfrey Network May 7 at 9:30 p.m. EDT/PDT and will rebroadcast on Mothers Day, May 8 at 1:00 p.m. EDT/PDT.

What qualities contribute to a book's lasting value? Can we predict what will become a classic?
On March 9, Dr. Nicolas S. Witschi of Western Michigan University's Department of English was our guest speaker for "The Book as a Literary Classic." Describing Snow Falling on Cedars as a "complex and rich book for evaluation and interpretation," he said it contains many qualities consistent with good literature. Here are some highlights:

From notes. Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a snifter. This bottle is about a year old.
Wide Awake pours a dark brown mahogany color with almost no head formation on the initial pour.
The aroma still jumps out of the glass. Bursts of espresso, sweet maple syrup, smoke, and vanilla all come through. With the age of the bottle I would not be surprised if the coffee smelled even better fresh, but it still smells incredible. Each whiff unveils a little bit more complexity. This is definitely a winner.
The flavor is huge. There coffee flavor manifests itself in the beginning of the sip, with what seems to be a few different types of exquisite espresso. Sweetness runs rampant with maple syrup flavors coming through during each part of the sip, with a little bit of vanilla as well. A thorough smoked malt flavor comes through representing the bacon. There is no concern of it being too smokey, a fear I often have with beers that use smoked malts. What is truly amazing is how each sip provides a new angle on the combination of coffee, maple syrup, and smoke. Each flavor develops more thoroughly with each sip, making this a glass that never gets boring.
Each sip is truly a full bodied treat. It is so thick and viscous, with a light and creamy carbonation. It is definitely sweet, sticky, and syrupy, and more than a little over the top.
This beer impressed me even more than the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, which is saying something. I would love to have a fresh bottle to compare.

came to funky buddha on a Wednesday for my weekly happy hour. When I asked what was being released next the bartender said, well tomorrow we'll be doing maple bacon coffee porter. I was ecstatic, except he was wrong. Instead it was imperial mbcp, wide awake.
Served in 8oz portion in a snifter. Pours a deep dark, jet black with A plentiful brown head. Smell is ridiculous, overwhelming coffee, coffee, for days with rich malts and chocolate following. Taste is smooth malty coffee with no bite, it oozes down the throat. as it warms the maple becomes apparent, with little bacon to speak of. after the first sip, the taste lingers and candied bacon flavors are throughout my mouth. Mouthfeel is not syrupy or thick, but medium to full, a crazily drinkable 10.5 abv.
Overall this is like Christmas morning for adults. Funky Buddha is on track to do big big things when they go into full scale production in 2013

On-tap at the Funky Buddha's 2nd Anniversary Party. Poured into an FB snifter.
Appearance - Black without being inky. Small khaki head. Wispy and a little sticky.
Smell - Intense coffee without ever being acidic. It rounds itself out with a touch of maple and some smokiness that mellows the coffee into an earthiness that is quite pleasant. A little over the top at first, but the full nose is quite nice.
Taste - Like the nose, the coffee is intense and almost astringent. The acidity of it is just a little too much at first. The roasted malts mellow it, surprisingly, and give it a nice touch of smoke in the end. The maple is barely a hint, if I can even detect it at all. It just seems to be there as something that keeps it drinkably sweet at such a high ABV and coffee content.
Mouthfeel - The coffee intense and maybe a little too intense. The rest of the beer drinks nicely, especially for 11.5%, which is how FB listed it on the board. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced except for the coffee.
Overall - A really nice beer without being exceptional in any way. The way the coffee character blends with the smoked malts is its best characteristic.

on tap at EBF
Pours a clouded nutty brown color with a crop of tanned head on top. Retains nicely on top of the pour, leaving patches of lacing behind.
Powerful, aromatic nose with rich maple syrup, chocolate and touches of smoke. Coffee beans and roasty malts with a touch of booze and sweetness.
Rich and smooth up front with coffee and maple syrup. Heavy malt backbone followed by edges of smoke and bacon-like flavors. Some vanilla tones with chocolate. Nutty and roasty with some alcohol warmth.
Full bodied, milder carbonation, insanely creamy and soft on the tongue. This one just lives up to the hype, there's no two ways about it.

I was lucky enough to try this on-tap at the EBF.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a layer of thick, smooth tan head thad fades to a ring around the edge of the glass and leaves some lacing.
Smell: This beer is more roast forward than the Morning Wood. Still some sweet maple, but this one is milder. I'm picking up some smooth, nutty coffee.
Taste: I can pick up a hint of bacon in this beer, it's a very welcome flavor. The maple is a bit more subdued than the barrel aged version. Roasty and sweet with a nice amount of maple blending with everything else.
Mouthfeel: Thick body with smooth carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: I enjoyed this slightly more than the barrel aged version. This one seems to allow the bacon to show up and not just highlight the maple and coffee. I would love to have another.

From 02/03/12 notes. Had on tap at EBF up in Boston, MA.
a - Pours a dark brown, almost black color, with one inch of dark tan head and light carbonation evident.
s - Smells of coffee, roasted malts, smokey malts, sweet sugar and dark fruits, dark chocolate, and light vanilla or cream. Really nice.
t - Tastes of coffee, smokey malts, roasted malts, brown sugar, sweet dark fruits, chocolate, toasted malts, and vanilla. A tiny bit more smoke then the nose.
m - Medium to full body and low carbonation. Thick body, very nice.
o - Overall a really great beer, though not as good as the BA version (Morning Wood). This vversion is smokier, and not quite as smooth. Still great and worth checking out.

Keg at EBF.
Very dark pretty much pitch black, slightest hints of light on the corners, light creamy head.
Nose fresh espresso, roasted coffee, light maple, hint smoke, chalky cocoa, dark malts.
Taste chocolate, fresh espresso brewed coffee, dark choc, creamy oats, light maple, slight hint of smoked bacon like, a bit of caramel and toffee, some bitterness from light earthy hops and the roasted malts, just the slightest hint of booze. Finish is long and a bit more bitter but not very bitter at all, tons more espresso and chocolate.
Mouth is rich and a bit creamy, full bodied, decent carb.
Overall wow, this beer is awesome. I really wish we could get it up here in MA.

This beer poured out as a really nice black color with a tan head that stuck around for a while. The smell of the beer was very sweet, rich and slightly smokey. The taste of the beer was sweet, roasted, maple and caramel flavors with some wood and smoke along with vanilla and coffee. An absolute cluster of flavors in this brew. The mouthfeel was heavy and had a medium carbonation to it. Overall this was special for sure. I would love to have more of this someday. I've found myself craving more Funky Buddha since the EBF ended. Looks like I may be going to Florida sometime in the near future.

On tap poured into a sampling glass at Extreme Beer Fest 2012. Much of this will carry over from my Morning Wood review but this was still a stand out of the fest.
Pours a black-as-night color with a small dark brown head that is fine and just clings everywhere in your glass. Nose is still utterly amazing for a coffee lover like me, the coffee is slightly more pronounced and less mellow but still amazing.
Taste follows the nose, more coffee, a bit more acidic but then again coffee is acidic so no real surprise. Maple is still present and delicious. Overall this is an awesome candidate for barrel aging but it's nearly as good off steel.

Original batch, kindly poured by the man himself into a FB snifter
A: Pours a big syrupy black color with a small khaki colored head. Retention isn't great, but with a high ABV it still looks evil
S: Damn, tons of sweet maple, coffee, and some burnt bacon. Simply amazing. The maple adds a whole new dimension to this beer that I never thought was possible
T: Much more balanced and refined that I expected. The bacon is less noticeable in the flavor, but the maple adds a pleasant flavor and balances the dark roast coffee. Thick body and dangerously drinkable. Not too much hop presence, but then again, that's not what you would want in a beer like this.
MF: Thick and chewy feel to it, sweet maple/coffee finish, low-medium carbonation. Alcohol is not detectable.
O: Overall, this is an amazing beer worthy of its hype. I have not had but one chance to get to FB since I am at school in SC since they have become a world-class brewery, but I will definitely make the effort now. Great job Funky Buddha!

Bottle #27
Pours very dark, with a viscous, dark tan half-finger head that dissipates after 30 seconds or so.
This is easily among the best smelling beers I've encountered. Not to take away from the beer in any way, but the only way to describe it is like a McGriddle in a glass. It's amazing. My girlfriend commented when she came home (while we were drinking this) and said the whole house smelled great, like a pancake house. I'd give this 6/5 if I could.
Taste gets a 4.5 only because it doesn't match how great it smelled. The maple is there in force along with the coffee and a twinge of bacon at the end. Very delicious, but just not as well-harmonized as I'd like.
Mouthfeel is nice, low carbonation, low heat (especially considering the abv) and nice and dry.
Overall this was the most interesting beer of the night, and of recent memory. Extremely grateful for the opportunity to taste it and can only hope that it becomes less impossible to have in the future.

Bottle 24/50, dated 6/26/2011.
Pours black without any head, even with a vigorous pour.
Wow, smells incredible. Huge maple syrup, and dark roast coffee with smokiness. My tasting partner notes offal/bacon. A little chocolate, cream, a touch of fruit/jam, and roasted malts. The aroma filled the room once I opened it. Unbelievable stuff.
Tastes of sweet maple combined with chocolate and a ton of dark roast coffee. Light bacon smoke as well. The first taste was very sweet, but the more I sip it the less sweet it is, and definitely not as sweet as the aroma suggests. Really delicious and drinkable. Alcohol is well hidden, leaves my mouth dry.
Medium to full body with moderate carbonation for the style. Doesn't make it feel too syrupy, smooth mouthfeel.
Overall, very impressive beer. So much complexity to the nose and taste. I was worried I held onto it too long and the flavors would fade, but they are still going strong.

Wide awake is an incredible brew. Rosy brown and dark with no head, beautiful smell, maple and alcohol but mostly strong coffee. Super roasty, lovely smooth taste, sugar, like hazelnut coffee with maple instead.
Smooth and creamy, big on the mouth, clean finish that is perfect about 4 ounces. Thanks Karl, thanks Mike, and thanks Al for the treat. Absolutely excellent. Trumps CBS.

43rd Review
Bottle to snifter.
Bottle 29/50
From notes. Shared at the DL Variant + Others Tasting in Chicago back in October. Thanks to dimenhetfield for the trade.
A: Deep chocolate brown. Barely 0.5 fingernail (tan) head on vigorous pour.
S: Initially, I cannot decide if I like this or hate it. Obviously it would be unfair to judge a beer on smell alone; however, this is quite unique...smokey, maple syrup, espresso, dark chocolate, brown sugar, and pancakes. Just kidding – there were no pancakes on the nose of this beer, but that's what it makes me think of...a big burly breakfast. I cannot find the bacon in the smell, but am hopeful that comes later.
T: Complex. Very complex. Sweet and roasty. Rich. Up-front you get strong coffee notes intertwined with sweet malt and maple syrup. Bacon comes thru solo (mid-palate) and this is quite an interesting flavor for the beer. Finished off with a hint of caramel and vanilla which I thought was nice.
M: Full bodied and almost no carbonation. Potent after-taste that almost ruined the experience for me, but I can look past it.
O: This was a very unique beer to have at such a large tasting. Initially, I thought the beer might be off based on reactions from the crowd; however, once I "jumped into the beer", it was just really, really complex. The complexity actually amazes me; however, IMO it almost takes away from the actual point of the beer. Obviously there is a fine line between good and bad, but this one tip-toes the hanging wire. I had fun with this one though and tried to enjoy the experience as much as possible. As mentioned above, I would to take down a huge plate of breakfast with this beer. It is bold and big (a lot going on), but nothing that I would seek out going forward. Curious to see how the regular Maple Bacon Coffee Porter tastes in comparison to this, but my interest stops there.
Simply put...fun to try!

Big thanks to spdyfire83 for bringing this to the table! 22oz bottle poured into a tulip...
Appearance: pours a dark, opaque brown. The thin head is gone quick. Virtually no lacing. Carbonation is fitting for a porter (this is a porter, right?!).
Aroma: This bottle had been cracked and was being passed around when I came back from a glass rinse...the maple had already infiltrated the entire room upon my return. I like maple, so now I'm excited! But then I get my pour, and the game changes dramatically. Despite the fact that I can still smell maple in the room, I get virtually none when I really get into my pour. I get the coffee and some smoke, but what dominates is this weird fucking vegetable smell. I've read reviews mentioning this but I'd never experienced it, so I just thought al those reviewers were daft. But here it is, and it overwhelmed the beer. Cooked celery, and maybe some bell pepper (?) were my associations. Seriously, the smell killed my beer boner most heinously.
Taste: Wow...gross. Acrid cheap coffee, some smoke characteristics. Overwhelmingly bitter. I only taste maple when I exhale after a sip. And then it gets worse...the aftertaste is unholy and punishing - it just doesn't stop sucking, it's amazing! It tastes like raw celery, and it lingers longer than a vegan fart.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation and body are appropriate for the style, but it's past the point of mattering.
Overall: I'm excited I had a chance to try this one, and I respect what the brewers are going for...but my experience with it was disappointing and unpleasant.

BIG THANKS To darkguardian for this one!!!22oz bomber bottle number 6 of 50. I was torn whether or not to open this bad boy right away or to sit on it for a special occasion. After some comments I decided to open it last night. Man am I glad I did. The second I opened the bottle the maple syrup and coffee smell filled the room. I was a little worried after all the hype that I was gonna get a bad bottle but the inital smell is all good. I poured it into a darkness snifter and it poured black with some brown head that went away very fast. The smell is of roasted coffee and maple with some smokeyness. The taste is great alot smoother than I thought it was gonna be it's like breakfast in a beer. Mouthfeel could be a little thicker in my opinion(if you wanna split hairs). This beer was a little bittersweet because it was such an amazing beer and I wish I could have share it with someone, but I'm also happy I got the whole bottle to myself (minus a couple sips for my wife). After all was said and done my hands still reeked of maple syrup and my wife said my breath stank of dark coffee. ALL AROUND AN AMAZING BEER!!!! TOTALLY LIVED UP TO THE HYPE!!!

Big thanks for hooking me up with this want. The label says -3/50.
A: Black with a finger of light brown foam. Decent retention.
S: Huge maple and black coffee aroma with a light bacon smokiness. There's a little chocolate and earth, as well as moderately roasted malt. Exceptional nose. The maple is really great. An imperial breakfast in a glass.
T: Sweet maple blends with chocolate and a robust earthy coffee profile. Light bacon smoke and moderately roasted malt. Not as sweet as the aroma suggests, and not as sweet as MBCP. Really nice. Alcohol is really well hidden, I wouldn't guess this is over 6%.
M: Full body with upper moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel sticky and smooth.
Overall: Impressive stuff. More drinkable than the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Perhaps that's the age mellowing out the maple.

Courtesy of the generous spdyfire83. Another whale I never thought I would try. Poured into a snifter.
A- Pours a dark brown with a thin head that dissipates into a thin cap. No lacing left behind.
S- Wow really intense bacon, vegetables..perhaps bell peppers? maple syrup, coffee grounds, dark chocolate, tobacco, roasted malt and some smokiness.
T- Meaty with bacon and sausage, sweet maple syrup, burnt caramel, old coffee grounds, tobacco, chocolate, roasted and smoked malt.
M- Medium carbonation and body. Finishes dry and bitter with some coffee grounds. The abv is hidden well.
O- This was just an intense beer with too much going on. Lot's of burnt coffee and smoke that reminded me of drinking cheap coffee at a diner. Overall, I admire their creativity, but I just don't think it was executed well.

A: Slightly translucent dark brown. No head. No lacing.
S: Absolutely intense aroma of the exact ingredients listed in the name. The intensity of the aroma is almost unbelievable. Huge scents of sweet maple syrup, strong coffee, smoky bacon, and some lighter chocolate notes, all fighting for supremacy in my nose.
T: Tastes of chocolate and coffee with smoke in the background. Long lingering flavor of burnt coffee. Burnt caramel on the finish, but then comes along a light maple sweetness.
M: Medium bodied with light carbonation. Sweet with a smoky tannic ashtray bitterness.
O: It's rare that a beer makes me ask the age old question: WTF?, but this oddity did. It's certainly a unique beer that tastes and smells exactly as advertised on the label. Like breakfast in a blender. And while I do enjoy maple, bacon, and coffee, I'm not 100% convinced they all need to make an appearance in my beer to be appreciated.

Bottle #34 of 50, courtesy of thagr81us during the South Carolina tasting. Whalish figure.
This one pours a near lifeless black, medium I'm body. Right off the bat you get hit in the face with aromas of maple syrup pancakes, smoked sausage, coffee, vanilla, and sweet chocolates. Crazy nose and very strong. You can smell it from ten feet away. The flavors are a nice mix of maple syrup drenched breakfast sausages, chocolate, vanilla beans, and light coffee. While very good, I may soon be Diabetic. The sugar is out of this world. It's drinkable but only at maybe half a bottle at a time. I can't take that much sugar. Very nice beer though and definitely unique. To think that a beer can accomplish such a complex nose is mind boggling. Great beer and excellent beer to tick.

A: Dark black-brown body. Just a thin, but well defined, ring of khaki foam. Spotty sudsy lacing.
S: Maple syrup and burnt coffee. A bit of smoke and roast. Not particularly inviting or well developed.
T: Like the nose, coffee (both roasted and burnt) takes center stage. A bit of smoked malts, maple syrup, brown sugar, and chocolate.
M: Fairly thin for as much malt in the flavor. A weak, sloppy finish. Slightly over carbonated.
O: Eh, I just didn't get the appeal of this. I didn't get any bacon... and the smoke and coffee was rather boring. Give me Mikkeller's beer geek bacon anyday.

Pours black with a tan head. Looks the look for a coffee porter. No surprises there.
This beer smells just as good as any beer I've ever had. Coffee beans, bacon and slight notes of smoke. It immediately makes me crave pancakes. Just incredible.
I get a ton of maple in the taste. There is also plenty of black coffee but the bacon takes a back seat. Perhaps a little on the back end. All of the ingredients are in concert. Medium body with low, albeit, perfect carbonation.
The beer was quite impressive. It was a perfect choice for the first hints of Autumn and would love the opportunity to revisit in the future.

22oz. Capped bomber into a TJ's snifter. Thanks to CarbonIS for this one. Had at a tasting 9/4/11.
Black color. Ring of light mocha head with moderate retention. Spotty and sparse lace with very little cling.
Big coffee notes with some Chinese medicinal notes in the background. Some slight hints of maple in the background. No bacon. Strange. Very aromatic though.
Maple opening. Coffee notes towards the middle with chocolate and fudge. Bacon comes in sweet. More maple and coffee with some milky notes. Finish is sweet and slightly smoky. Aftertaste is more smoke and coffee bean bitterness. Not bad, but not great either.
Medium to full bodied and near flat. Smooth and oily in the mouth and smooth and viscous going down. Finish is messy with a lingering aftertaste. Good.
This is pretty much a novelty beer in my opinion. Very different than anything else I've ever had from the style but that doesn't mean that it's particularly good. After about the 3rd or 4th ounce, my palate had had enough. Decent, but forgettable.

Standard imperial stout looking pour
Aroma is dominated by cappuccino and pancacke syrup. Very nice.
The flavor is very smooth, lots of chocolate and fresh brewed cappuccino. Pancake sweetness from the maple. Very light smokiness. Overall an impressive tasting beer for sure.
The body is nearly full and there is a nice creaminess.
Overall this beer is more impressive than it is drinkable for me. After a few ounces I am not really wanting more despite the great flavor. Seems to be a common story for imperial stouts lately.

I worked at Gilt Groupe
Pros – Employee discounts on Gilt merchandise. Quarterly allowance to use on Gilt.
Cons – Company lacked clear focus or consistent vision. An extremely top-heavy organization, Gilt was filled with incompetent senior execs who lacked basic experience in consumer internet and ecommerce. The result was a chaotic and toxic environment where self righteous VPs made unreasonable and asinine demands that were completely unreasonable and created a series of distractions. The ratio of "talkers" to "doers" at Gilt was astonishing.

I prefer Outlook Express and I am tired of how Windows Live Mail works.
Kind of a "big button app" that I can not configure how I wish.
What email client do you like and why?
I never think much about my email program... which is Outlook (not express) that came with MS Office... about the most complicated thing I've done with it is to create a "family" group so I can enter one "name" in the TO line and send a message to everyone in my family... some of them even write back!
I use outlook xpress mostly..but also run outlook once in a while..mostly for calendar events etc... but try not to use outlook for email.
But I have in the past.. you can sorta match Outlook xpress and outlook ..forget the word they use...so your mailboxes etc are the same in both, your email accounts etc.
Anyway, like I said , I rarely use outlook for email now and just use outlook express...but with that chat thing turned off ( msn ? )....
I don't use email in a business setting ...just personal... so it works fine for me.
I keep seeing ads for 'constant contact' regarding business app of email and list servers and so on...so if you do business stuff that might be a good thing to check out ??
>ads for 'constant contact' regarding business app of email and list servers and so on
Hmm... sounds like Instant Message stuff to me... which I do NOT do!
Used to use Outlook Express, now I am on Microsoft Outlook 2003 (came with MS Office). Works just fine for me.
As far as I know ....Outlook Express does not run in Win7.
I do have it running on the XP puters .
Thunderbird will run on W7.
Definitely Thunderbird for me. It's free, secure, and has all the features I want.
I am with Ann & John T, in that I use Outhouse, er-r-r, I mean Outlook. I also have MS Office.
I still miss my Eudora, but have gotten beyond that.
Now, I do not use e-mail all THAT much, and have MailWasher, in between my POP accounts and Outlook. I have it set to Full Manual, but it marks all those pesky Nigerian money-plots, and I have all my family and few clients marked as "Friends" in it, plus UAL, Hilton and a few dozen more. I never Send/Recieve in Outlook, until I have cleaned things out in MailWasher first - saves me a lot of time, and is easy to purge things, though I did notice that I just blew away an e-mail, notifying me that I had won the New Zealand Lottery...
Have not tried Thunderbird, as recommended by Peru Bob and Jim, but have read good recs. for it.
Good luck,
I use Outlook 2010 because:
- I can filter mail so mails from X lands in folder X and mails from Y lands in folder Y, etc, etc. (Rules)
- I can use Color Categories to easily sort mails by Color Categories and thus more easily get an overview. I can create how many different Color Categories i want/need.
- The calendar in Outlook is great by itself and it is already included in Outlook.
- It is great to have all my contacts, with complete mail/phone/adresses inside Outlook.
- Easy to search in mails/calendar/contacts.
Since i use other applications in Office 2010 Outlook was the natural choice for me.
IMO Outlook 2010 outperforms Thunderbird. (Yes, i have indeed tried and used both.)
I guess I need a newer version of Office.
Thanx all.
I use Outlook, 2003 and 2007 for various PCs. Have not tried 2010, but I have not seen any feature changes through that time.
I hate buying Office, since I need Access and that makes it very expensive. Been buying the 2003 versions for our shop, but 2007 looks just as cheap for a single system without Access.
I just loaded Office 2003 on my new Windows 7 PC and it works fine. Once you load the 2007 file reader, I don't see a reason to upgrade.
Outlook 2003 works just fine.
However, my wife had been on Outlook Express. It isn't available on Windows 7 so I switched her to Live Mail. It has rules too, so it seems OK. Of course, since she uses a form of Gmail at work, Live Mail isn't all that different. I was happy that EasyTransfer was actually easy. All of her email and her contacts and folders all came over intact.

I use outlook 2010 in the office package. I have an MS Exchange server, so I need a cliant able to connect to that one of course.
Roger said:

The Lightning plugin for Thunderbird does all that, too. Mozilla makes both Thunderbird and Lightning.
I wouldn't buy a new version of Office just for the Outlook email client. I think it's a waste of money, especially with OpenOffice.org available.
especially with OpenOffice.org available.
Right? I gave up on Office when I rebuilt my office computer two years ago.
Free is always better.
Can anyone confirm if Out Look (Outlook Express) - any version that runs on Win 7 - 64 bit has the abilty to create stationery.
I really , really need to have Logos (images) in my Signature.
No problem with a simple text signature. BUT.. I do not wish to use "Insert Picture " to do so on every email I create.
It is impossible (pratically) in Live Mail and I can see no way to do it in ThunderBird.
Live Mail is a joke really considering how MS dumbed it down as an application.
Open up the Account Settings in Thunderbird and click on the name of the account you want to add it to, you'll see the options for Signatures.
Thanx Jim , Steven.
I will check further.

I was introduced to Edmodo this summer, and as technology/instructional facilitator in my parish, I'd like to hear from some of you who may be currently using Edmodo and or have tried it to see if this resource is one that you have found useful in education.
I'm retired as of Aug. 1 but the system I worked for tried to have everyone use Edmodo but I like HotChalk and many of the teachers I worked with use it.
Thank you, Barb. I have not heard of Hot Chalk. In what grade level and/or subject area did you teach? I'll have to "bing" Hot Chalk and check it out. Is this a free resource?
I am a newbie EDMODO user and I like the ease of use. The students enjoy using this interface and it makes it a safe learning space for all. I have not investigated all of the bells and whistles but colleagues who have are shouting big likes about it.
The online safety was a major "positive" for us, too, as we were being introduced to Edmodo. I just wish we had had more time to "play" with it. We did create an account, and we did have a small amount of time in the day's workshop to make use of it; however, I would love to hear exactly how teachers are using it and in what courses and/or grade levels. I am glad that your teachers are enjoying the use of Emodo. And, yes, I want to learn more about the "bells and whistles."
I love edmodo- it is a user friendly site that helps teachers connect in the classroom. Many of my teachers have been using the assignment feature as well as the new quiz feature. My students like the backpack feature.
Edmodo is a great way to introduce online collaboration to elementary students. All student activity is monitored by the teacher who created the community. Parents are invited to create an account to monitor student activity too. Students do not need an email account in order to create an account. The interface is intuitive and well designed. I highly recommend it.
Yes, I do remember thinking what a valuable communication tool it would be, too. We currently use MOODLE in our junior high and high schools. Parents use their child's login to access the course information rather than have a separate account. I felt like Edmodo may be more geared to elementary.
Hi Everyone! Edmodo does sound quite promising. Has anyone used Schoology? I'm wondering how they compare, as I believe they are both very similar.
I have heard of this resource, and I think we may have a teacher or two who do use it; however, I have not had a chance to look at it. Thanks for the reminder . . . I will have to try to compare the two.
In a meeting with some LEA tech directors on Thursday, we discussed Edmodo. Several districts are using the school/district domain features and really like it. One of the districts uses Schology and shared that it has the same features as Edmodo. I was aware of the LMS functions of Schology but not the networking featurs. Seems that they are very similar.
Edmodo is a phenomenal classroom tool both for students and educators. The interface is very similar to Facebook and very easy to use. The kids enjoy using the tools and because there is a mobile app they can stay connected to the classroom anytime anywhere. I liked the flexibility of the resources and the wealth of resources and communities to join. This is a very secure system and unlimited storage of all sorts of digital resources for the classroom and students. Try it I am sure that you will love it. :-)

After a few months playing hermit, I came out of hiding a few weeks ago to find a fantastically active poetry scene. My favorite reading, East of Edith, is on hiatus, but I've still managed to get to at least one poetry reading a week since I came out of hibernation: Poetry & Beer, OutSpoken, Adobe Walls and Final Friday. I missed MAS Poetry, and I might miss this week's Fixed & Free and Poetry Night at Bookworks.
The wicked truth be told, I'm partly going to all these readings because my first book is coming out in November and I want to cultivate and in some cases reconnect with my audience. It's my first venture into heavily marketing a book (the publisher has a minimum sales requirement to keep the book in print), but from several authors I've heard or read two bits of advice consistently: (1) Readings and other events where the writer interacts closely with the audience are the best opportunities for sales, and (2) Always carry copies to sell, because you never know. (I'm carrying copies of a chapbook until the book comes out.)
Of course, marketing a book of poems generally isn't about making money (except maybe breaking even). Usually it's about the same thing reading at open mics and slams is -- finding audiences, writers and perhaps communities.
One community I've found is a group of writers who've also published with an imprint of WordTech Communications. We're trading advice about marketing and recommendations for reading and submissions. Since I've found those so useful, I'll try to pay it forward with (hopefully) useful blogs of my first book experience as it unfolds.
Views: 96
It's courageous of you to do a "real" book. What's it called? How much? Other details?
It's called "god-chaser." I don't know yet how much it'll be; the publisher will decide, but a little under $20 seems to be typical for the imprint. I don't have an official description, but Maureen Seaton's blurb gives a pretty good idea:
Sari Krosinsky's debut collection is a pilgrimage in finely wrought stanzas to a pantheon of pain-in-the-ass deities: gods, goddesses, and good old G-D from Mount Olympus, O.T., and a bus station in Philly. "A universe can burst from one man," writes Krosinsky, and in god-chaser she startles us with a glimpse of her own universe and the multifarious beings zapping and flinging and blinding and cajoling and otherwise doing their best to wreak havoc...
Most of the process has been waiting--since I finished proofing and picked a cover image. The publisher was scheduled out that far ahead (it was in the summer that the book was accepted). Previews of some of the other 2012 titles are starting to go up on the website, though, so I'm hoping to see the cover design soon (like within a few months--that's pretty soon in book publishing time).
Well, I guess it's good to know that lots of people are finishing books and the publishers are busy....

MSUM left cleaning up admissions messMoorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - Some high school seniors wait for the moment they've been accepted to a college of university. Hundreds of would-be MSUM student got 2 letters: one of acceptance, and then one of denial.
Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - Some high school seniors wait for the moment they've been accepted to a college of university. Hundreds of would-be MSUM student got 2 letters: one of acceptance, and then one of denial.
Exactly 232 people got the letter in the mail from MSUM saying they weren't accepted into the University. Now MSUM academic officials are left putting back together the hundreds of college dreams. University Spokesman David Wahlberg says these applications were submitted back in 2012, but the mistake wasn't caught until just days ago.
Normally when students don't meet academic requirements they have to go through what's called an individual review. This process allows the applicant to be interviewed by a committee and explain why his or her test scores were lower than required. Then they must prove they are ready for college.
The mistake made was that the 232 hopefuls were shown to have gone through this process, but in fact they had not and were still accepted.
David Wahlberg – University Spokesman: "We made a mistake and we need to own up to that mistake and we need to figure out a way to make this bad situation better if we can, and we feel that the way we can do that is to ask that question, 'what's really in the best interest of these students, how do we get out of this?' Well, we answered the question what's in the best interest of the students and if we can offer them admission and some support to be successful in this environment, then that's the course of action we feel is best."
Now that the students have been officially accepted they must meet some requirements. They must meet with advisors and develop an academic success plan, Meet regularly with faculty for guidance, and take a University Studies class the first semester of the fall which will be counted as full credit.
If students don't agree to the requirements they won't be allowed to enroll. Some of the students were student-athletes.

The gubernatorial campaign of Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown is calling on challenger state Attorney General Doug Gansler to apologize for injecting race into the campaign.
The Baltimore Sun reports that Brown's campaign manager charged that the attorney general has used race to divide people.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler is asking the state's highest court to order that a lawsuit over the University of Maryland's withdrawal from the Atlantic Coast Conference proceed in a Maryland court.
The attorney general's office has made the request to the Maryland Court of Appeals.
The attorney general says the Prince George's County Circuit Court has wrongly decided to hold the case while waiting for the outcome of a separate lawsuit in North Carolina.
Issue of Race
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland's Attorney General Douglas Gansler told campaign volunteers that his rival in next year's Democratic gubernatorial primary, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, is relying on his race to get elected.
The Washington Post reports that the comments were captured on a recording of a July 15 meeting in Annapolis provided to the newspaper by someone not employed by either campaign.
Give prison inmate tablet computers.
That's one proposal by Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler as he fleshes out ideas for reducing the number of ex-offenders who return to prison.
Maryland's top law enforcement officer said the proposal would help offenders build education credentials and social support before they leave prison.
The tablets, he said, would also allow limited and monitored email access so that inmates could keep in touch with their families.
It's just one element of a 10-part plan for bringing ex-felons back into their community.
Governor Martin O'Malley told supporters over the weekend that he is laying down the foundation for a 2016 bid for the White House.
While in Milwaukee for the National Governor's Association O'Malley told political reporters that he will have mapped the campaign by the end of the year.
The Baltimore Sun was told in April by O'Malley that he would take the next year to consider a presidential bid.
While the Governor would not commit to a presidential campaign he said the he was working through the process.
It was hot and were the politics at the J. Millard Tawes Crab and Clam Bake in Crisfield yesterday.
With Maryland's state elections just around the corner next year… politicians showed up as they geared up for their campaigns.
On the Democratic side, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown who is running for governor showed up with his running mate Ken Ulman along with competitor Heather Mizeur.
Brown and Ulman by far had the largest contingent on hand.
Meanwhile, Republican Gubernatorial hopeful David Craig made a stop along with his running mate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio.
Maryland Attornrey General Doug Gansler says he was not surprised by the not-guilty verdict in the case of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed 17-year old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush spoke with Gansler during an appearance on the campus of Salisbury University in part one of an interview this week.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A spokesman for Republican David Craig says the Harford County executive has chosen Del. Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio as his running mate in his run for governor.
Jim Pettit, Craig's campaign spokesman, confirmed the selection in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Thursday.
Pettit says two news conferences have been scheduled for Tuesday to announce her selection. One will be in the morning in Annapolis. The other will be in the afternoon in St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore.
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - Attorney General Doug Gansler is kicking off a series of informal gatherings around the state.
Gansler is holding the first event in Rockville on Thursday.

Maryland's Court of Appeals ruled in January that the state must offer credits to taxpayers whose out-of-state income is subject to local piggyback taxes, but granted a stay. The court rejected Gansler's request to reconsider last week and he has 90 days to decide whether to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The report says Gansler has raised $1.2 million since last year's filing.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Same-sex couples can begin getting marriage licenses in Maryland, though they won't go into effect until Jan. 1.

Attorney General Doug Gansler wrote in a legal opinion last week that the signature will officially enable couples to get a marriage license.
BALTIMORE (AP) - Attorney General Doug Gansler is warning residents about a text message scam that falsely suggests recipients have won a gift card to a store.
The text messages tell recipients that they have won a gift card at a well-known store worth several hundred dollars. They recipients are instructed to go to a website and provide personal information, including credit card or bank account numbers.
Another form of the scam asks consumers to reply to the text with identifying information.
BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler says Maryland homeowners have received more than $220 million so far from a national mortgage settlement.
Gansler said Wednesday that 2,825 Maryland homeowners received the assistance between March 1 and June 30. The figures are part of an initial progress report.
Maryland's share of the $25 billion national mortgage settlement has been estimated at nearly $1 billion.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland can continue enforcing its gun permit law requiring residents to show a "good and substantial reason" to carry handguns until a federal appeals court decides the matter.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond granted a stay in the case on Wednesday. That's after a federal judge decided to lift a stay on his finding that the state's law was unconstitutional.
The court has directed that the case be expedited and tentatively scheduled for arguments in October.
Marylanders will be able to legally carry a concealed loaded gun after August 7th without having to show a good and substantial reason for doing so.
That's the date set by Federal Judge Benson Legg, who required officials to get rid of that requirement on applications.
Maryland State Attorney General Doug Gansler has filed an appeal in federal court to vacate the ruling.
There are 12-thousand Maryland residents who have such permits.
Maryland Attorney General Doug Ganlser is asking a federal judge to keep the state's gun law in effect while his office appeals the court's decision that found the measure unconstitutional.
This week Judge Benson Everett Legg ruled that under the Second Amendment Maryland's law requiring state residents to show a good and substantial reason to carry a handgun is unconstitutional.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the judge said that the right to bear arms extends outside of the home.

Tom-Bihn-branded knitting needle ties!! <3 Or it's a Tom Bihn swimsuit made out of Dyneema.
Proud owner of a conifer/steel Synapse, indigo/black Swift, a linen/olive Small Cafe Bag, a couple of yarn stuff sacks, a clear organizer wallet and various organizer pouches
wait, no! they're wigs!!
yeah, wigs!
In our household: Black/Steel Aeronaut (with 2 large packing cubes and Absolute shoulder strap), Forest/Steel Aeronaut (1 large and 2 small packing cubes), Olive/Wasabi medium Cafe Bag, Linen/Olive Medium Cafe Bag, Cocoa/Cocoa/Wasabi Imago, Cardinal/Hemp/Steel Imago, Hemp Little Swift, Solar Shop Bag, Plum/Wasabi Side Effect, Black/Steel/Solar Smart Alec, Horizontal and Vertical Freudian Slips, TB Wallet, Hemp Little Swift, FOT pouch, Black/Olive ID
Some of those look thin - the thick ones look like key straps, but the thin ones make me wonder if you're going to a tie for something? Would make a pretty bow to tie something up.
I wonder if the thick ones will turn straps similar to the strap for the Side Effect?
At last, for the Tom Bihn fan who has everything, TB shoelaces!
actually, it's ribbon for tying around the tom bihn logo wrapping paper!
Looks like ribbing material. My guess is for the camera inserts.
Been there. Done that. Can't remember.
hey! I want to preorder one of those wasabi wigs with matching shoelaces. Now I just need Tom to make coordinating cork shoes with wasabi liners!
Of course, attentive forum readers might find a little less suspense....
Things I Bought Saturday... Woohoo!

When configured, lsyncd is a replication service that will run on the "master" server to ensure the same data exists on all "slave" servers. The lsyncd process monitors the web content directory and replicates changes every few seconds to clone nodes.
Lsyncd (Live Syncing Daemon) is especially useful to sync data from a secure area to a less secure area. To accomplish this lsync uses rsync to automate the replication of files from one "master" server to one or more "slave" servers. Lsyncd only transfers files that have changed.
Complete the following steps to install and configure Lsyncd.
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Note: This will create 2 new files in ~/.ssh/ id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.
cat ~/.ssh/master.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
For CentOS
yum -y install lua lua-devel pkgconfig gcc asciidoc
For Ubuntu
apt-get update && apt-get install -y lua5.1 liblua5.1-dev pkg-config rsync asciidoc
Important : Be sure to manually check the destination directory on the slave server. If you have NFS or CloudFuse mounts, these could end up wiped by the lsync process.
Note : Lsyncd version 2.0.4 has a known issue with permissions, see the following bug reports. Always make sure you install either 2.0.7 (stable) or 2.1.4+ (latest).
To install the version of lsyncd required for this guide we will need to compile the code from source. If you are unfamiliar with this process simply copy and paste the commands below.
cd /var/tmp wget http://lsyncd.googlecode.com/files/lsyncd-2.1.4.tar.gz tar xzvf lsyncd-2.1.4.tar.gz cd lsyncd-2.1.4 export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2" ./configure && make && make install
With the completion of the make install command the lsyncd service will be installed on the master server. The compressed lsyncd package does not come with start up scripts so you will need to install your own.
For Ubuntu:
description "lsyncd file syncronizer" start on (starting network-interface or starting network-manager or starting networking) stop on runlevel [!2345] expect fork respawn respawn limit 10 5 exec /usr/local/bin/lsyncd /etc/lsyncd.lua
ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/lsyncd
/etc/init/lsyncd.override manual
For Centos:
#!/bin/bash # # lsyncd: Starts the lsync Daemon # # chkconfig: 345 99 90 # description: Lsyncd uses rsync to synchronize local directories with a remote # machine running rsyncd.

chkconfig lsyncd on
/var/log/lsyncd/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate if [ -f /var/lock/lsyncd ]; then /sbin/service lsyncd restart > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true fi endscript }
cat << EOF > /etc/logrotate.d/lsyncd /var/log/lsyncd/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate if [ -f /var/lock/lsyncd ]; then /sbin/service lsyncd restart > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true fi endscript } EOF
With this script enabled, the logs will rotate saving the harddisk from possible issue.
Note : Replace the target parameter with the private IP address of the clone server. This is found in the Rackspace control panel.
cat << EOF > /etc/lsyncd.lua settings { logfile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.log", statusFile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd-status.log", statusInterval = 20 } sync { default.rsync, source="/var/www/", target="your.clone.private.ip.address:/var/www/", rsync = { compress = true, acls = true, verbose = true, rsh = "/usr/bin/ssh -p 22 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" } } EOF
Take special note of the block of code beginning with sync. If you require more web servers, this block of code will need to be replicated with the IP address of each additional clone server. This is discussed further in the Continued Scaling section.
start lsyncd
touch /var/www/dummy_file
..ls /var/www
As needed, we edit the
/etc/lsyncd.lua configuration file. Inside the configuration file a block of code containing the private IP address of the clone server was present. This block needs to be replicated with the file for each new clone server created. For example, once two clone servers are present the file would look like the below block of code. Insert the private IP addresses of each clone server.
sudo echo 'sync { default.rsync, source="/var/www/", target="your.clone2.private.ip.address:/var/www/", rsync = { compress = true, acls = true, verbose = true, rsh = "/usr/bin/ssh -p 22 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" } }'/etc/lsyncd.lua
restart lsyncd

Once garden debris is removed, many gardeners call it quits until next spring. But while still harvesting tomatoes and peppers, fall and winter gardeners can start growing cool season veggies like turnips, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, garlic, onions, cabbage, lettuce, radishes and more. Spring in Alabama usually does not stay cool very long and these cooler season vegetables may bolt (produce seeds) or become bitter in the heat. Cooler fall temperatures and a light frost bring out the flavor in some of these veggies.
Fall is also a great time to soil sample the garden. Those who do not garden in the cooler months can work the recommended lime into the soil to raise the pH for next year. Cool season gardeners can incorporate lime into the soil with fertilizer when preparing the fall gardening beds. Northern areas plant a little earlier and the Southern areas plant a little later. Most fall veggies in Alabama are planted in August and September. Transplants can be used if you get a late start, but most of the cooler season veggies can be started by seed. This means that good bed preparation is necessary. Most of the veggies I have mentioned have tiny seeds — very tiny. Planting too deep will inhibit germination. A good rule of thumb is to plant seeds about 2 or 3 times as wide as the seed. That's not very deep for some of these tiny seeds.
We are entering what is traditionally a dry part of the year so seeds will need to be lightly watered everyday. If not, our soils are prone to crusting and seeds may not germinate. I usually do not recommend the use of sprinklers in the garden because of increased foliar diseases, but sprinklers are great for seed beds. Keep the seeds and soil moist until seeds have germinated and young seedlings are growing.
It is not uncommon for fall gardeners to see increased pest problems. After all, pests have been building up their numbers since spring, so keep a watchful eye on veggie plants. Early detection is a great method of control. Keep plants healthy — healthy plants better withstand insects and disease. Use only approved organic pesticides.
Most cool season vegetables are hardy and will survive through the winter months. For those that may need a little help, you can extend the season with row covers. Floating row covers and burlap are often used. Use stakes or wires to support the row cover keeping them from directly touching the plants. Semi-hardy vegetables should be harvested before the first freeze and root crops like carrots should be either harvested or mulched heavily before a hard freeze. Pictures with floating row covers along with planting dates for cool season veggies can be found in the fall gardening publication (ANR 1422) on the Alabama Extension System website at www.aces.edu.

BROOKLINE, Mass., Oct. 25, 2013 – Junior Katie Hyland (Islip, N.Y./Islip) and senior Haley Miller (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) scored goals to lead the James Madison women's soccer team to a 2-0 win at Northeastern in a battle of Colonial Athletic Association first-place teams.
The Dukes (14-4, 6-1 CAA) and the Huskies (5-8-3, 5-2) entered the game in a three-way tie with William & Mary for first place in the conference. The Tribe tied Hofstra 3-3 Friday night, putting the Dukes all alone atop the CAA with one game remaining in the regular season.
JMU cannot finish any lower than second, clinching a first-round bye in the conference tournament. A win or a William & Mary loss/tie to Northeastern on Sunday would give the Dukes the top seed, which means they would host the semifinal and championship rounds.
Sophomore Ellen Forrest (Midlothian, Va./James River) made four saves Friday night to post her sixth shutout of the season. She is one shutout shy of tying Suzanne Wilson's single-season record by a sophomore, and two away from matching Diane Wszalek (2010) and Jessica Hussey (2002) for the overall single-season record.
The Dukes registered just one shot on goal in the first half but made it count, as Hyland scored her team-leading seventh goal of the season in the fifth minute. Freshman Ashley Herndon (Ashburn, Va./Stone Bridge) recorded an assist on the score.
With Northeastern putting on pressure, leading in shots and shots on goal the entire game, Miller gave JMU some breathing room in the 63rd minute with her second goal of the season. Senior Becky Sparks (Laurel Springs, N.J./Paul VI) assisted on the goal with a long throw-in that Miller headed in to the lower left corner.
JMU travels to play Hofstra on Sunday at 1 p.m. A win would give the Dukes their first-ever outright CAA regular season championship. They have shared the title twice. A win would also match the program record of 15 wins in a single regular season.

Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.

text: Really, what's not to love about this name? Everything about it screams hipster fun. Though it describes itself as 'illicit drunkenness in hard-to-find places', there is, in fact, nothing illegal about it whatsoever, but we can overlook that. The company runs boozy pop-up parties in various locales around the capital for brogue-wearing, quiff-sporting Shoreditch types. The latest hedonistic happening? A shindig to kickstart Easter celebrations 'somewhere in East London', with bartenders plucked from the likes of The Box and Quo Vadis, and DJ superstars like Ollie Russian and Blonde Ambition taking to the decks. There will only be 150 tickets, so be sure to sign up for a chance to get yours.
