I keep getting stuck during my BES installation. I get to a MAPI Settings screen which I cannot advance past or skip and if I understand correctly I shouldn't even be seeing.
The documentation states two things relating to this:
1) Important: Do not install the combined MAPI/CDO prerequisite stated in
the BES product documentation, as this will conflict with the standalone
version of CDO installed in step 1 and prevent ZCB from working properly.
2) Ignore error messages the installer generates regarding the MAPI Settings
and/or MAPI libraries being used, as shown in the following screens. ZCB
uses a client-side MAPI, which is a different version than the server MAPI BES
5.x uses.
In regards to #1, I'm never prompted during the BESe installation to chose not install these prerequisites. How do avoid installing them? I do notice in the Prerequisite Checklist that the Exchange MAPI is not found (because Exchange isn't installed, of course). At no point during the installation do I get the "The computer and the MS Exchange Server that is named are not in the same resource forest..." as shown in the documentation.
Eventually my installation hits a wall at the MAPI Settings screen where it's asking for an Exchange Server and a Mailbox. I cannot skip this screen and I don't believe I should be seeing it.
Other info about my setup:
- Windows Server 2K8 R2, not a DC but joined to the domain
- Outlook 2007 SP3 is installed
- Zimbra is hosted (credentials are set, it connects fine during the Zimbra Connector installation)
- Local account is created with appropriate settings
- CDO 1.2.1 is manually installed
One other question - should the Zimbra Connector be installed when I'm logged in as the domain admin or when I'm logged in as the local BESAdmin account - I couldn't find clarification for this in documentation or on the forums. I tried both and it fails when installing as the local BESAdmin account. As a result, the mail profiles aren't created here which may be causing the issue during the BES installation. The BB mail profiles being in the domain admin's account probably doesn't do me any good. When I try to install the connector in the local BESAdmin account my Zimbra credentials come back as invalid, which I know is not the case. When I install the connector as the domain admin the credentials check out immediately.
Any tips? Thanks.

What is the eLearning program?
The Gift of Motherhood eLearning program is a flash-based online book that will allow you to understand all aspects of pregnancy.
What do I need in order to view the book?
You'll need the most recent version of Adobe Flash, a fast internet connection (DSL, Cable or other broadband) and Adobe Reader. You'll also need a computer with sound and speakers or headphones to hear the audio. (see System Requirements)
How do I use it?
Read the eBook just like you would a traditional book — click on the edge of the book to turn the page. Also, be sure to click on all of the icons to learn more. Some icons open a movie or animation, others give you added information. If you see a word in green, be sure to move your mouse over it to learn the definition.
What if I'm having difficulty with the eBook?
Some common problems may occur when using the eBook. First, make sure your Internet connection is working by visiting some other sites. Then, make sure you have the newest version of Adobe Flash. You may need to uninstall the previous version of Flash before you install the new version. For instructions on how to uninstall Flash, visit their support site. (see System Requirements)
What if I can't see anything?
Wait a couple of minutes more to let the program load. When Internet access is slow, the eBook may load more slowly than normal. If, after a several minutes, nothing appears, try restarting your computer.
What if the videos don't work?
Give the videos a moment to load and make sure you have the latest version of Flash. If it still doesn't work, try restarting your computer. (see System Requirements)
What if my code doesn't work anymore?
Try re-entering the code, making sure there are no spaces before or after the code. If that does not work, contact the administrator at your hospital to make sure the code is still active. Note: All "0" are numerals.

ISU Uses A Little "Magic" In Win Over OSU, 85-81
AMES, Iowa – I guess you can chalk it up to Hilton Magic once again. Against the ropes numerous times, No. 16 Iowa State (23-7, 11-7 Big 12) came away with a miraculous 85-81 overtime win over Oklahoma State (21-10, 8-10 Big 12) Saturday afternoon in Hilton Coliseum.
Finding one hero in this one is virtually impossible. However, it was Naz Long who gave the Cyclones a chance by draining a desperation 3-pointer at the end of regulation to tie the score at 71-71 and force overtime.
With Melvin Ejim and Georges Niang fouled out in the overtime period, DeAndre Kane and Long stepped up by carrying the Cyclone load. The Cyclones made six of their final seven free-throws down the stretch to seal the win.
Kane was brilliant, leading the way with 27 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field on senior night. Niang added 22 points and Long had 14 points, all after intermission. Marcus Smart led OSU with 27 points.
The Cyclone victory was achieved after falling behind by as many as 16 points in the second half. ISU actually took a six-point lead (63-57) with 4:26 remaining in regulation, but failed to score a field goal until Long's prayer at the horn.
Melvin Ejim, playing in his final home game, tallied 12 points and eight rebounds before fouling out with under four minutes left in regulation. He became just the fourth player in Big 12 history to record 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career.
Keys to the Game
Second Half Shooting. Iowa State was bogged down by poor shooting in the first half while falling behind, 32-25. ISU made just 36.7 percent of its shots in the first half. The second half, however, was a different story, as the Cyclones shot 18-of-33 from the field (54.5 percent) after intermission.
ISU was 3-of-5 from the floor and 8-of-12 from the free-throw line in the overtime period.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
Naz Long. He didn't score as many points as his teammates, but for the second time this season Naz Long hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime vs. the Oklahoma State Cowboys. He did it in Stillwater over a month ago, and he did it again Saturday afternoon.
Long's trey at the horn was close to 30-feet, and for the second time this season vs. OSU, eventually led to a Cyclone victory. Long scored all of his 14 points after intermission.

May my posts be polite and not misunderstood. (And hopefully funny on occasion.)
Our first round matchups:
125 #4 Clark vs. #5 John Olanowski (Missouri)
165 #4 Reader vs. #5 Max Dean (Oklahoma)
197 #4 Bertolino vs. #5 Clayton Foster (Oklahoma State)
Here's what I found for scoring:
Scoring shall be as follows:
First place 10 points
Second place 7 points
Third place 4 points
Fourth place 2 points
I didn't find anything about bonus points. Anyone know if there are extra points for major/t. fall/fall?
in high school i think it was 1 pt. for a major, 1.5 for a tech. fall, and 2 for a pin. but i've been away from tournament scoring for about 10 years now so i don't know if this is correct.
I found this info on Wildcards:
The eight wildcard positions (fourth- and
fi fth-place fi nishers in the Conference championship eligible for the NCAAchampionship) shall be selected by an open vote of the coaches. The vote will take place during a mandatory
meeting immediately following the consolation matches.
The following criteria will be utilized in the prescribed order when selecting wildcards to the NCAA championship:
Head-to-head competition against ranked wrestlers. Current rankings.
End-of-the-year performance.
Other considerations include the following:
Past performance at NCAA championship and/or competition within conference.
Special situations (injuries, upset possibilities, etc.).
Strength of weight class.
Team championship possibilities.

Add in advancement points, and scoring should really be 11-8-4.5-2.5-0.
Standard bonus points apply (Fall/Forf/DQ/ID: 2; TF5: 1.5; TF4/MD: 1).

Home Theater Boasts a Nightclub Atmosphere
This theater and lounge get the chic New York City club look- with dual center-channel speakers.
Editor's Note: This profile of one of our Home of the Year winners originally ran in May of 2012. We're highlighting past winners in anticipation of the May 2013 release of the new Home of the Year winners. You'll want to check back in May, because the new winners are awesome.
Step into this lounge and theater, and you might think you were in a chic Manhattan club. That was the intent of interior designer Dominic Gasparoly of GW Design, who combined his talents with the custom electronics (CE) pros at Audio Video Design in Rego Park, N.Y, to produce this knockout basement theater and lounge area in the Hamptons. White oak floors with a silver finish and walnut panels cast a stylish sheen in the jazzy lounge and bar area, while in the theater red abounds as the floor turns to wall turns to ceiling, with carpeting everywhere. One almost expects disco or mood lighting, but a powerful home theater experience awaits instead.
"Red gives it a nice, cozy and warm atmosphere," says Gasparoly of the theater. Press a couple of buttons on Crestron's 8.4-inch color TPMC-8X touchpanel, and you'll be embraced by an audio/video extravaganza featuring a powerful array of Bay Audio speakers and superwide CinemaScope images from Digital Projection's 3-chip Titan DLP projector.
The Titan 1080p-250 projector automatically adjusts format sizes from broadcast HD 16:9 to superwide CinemaScope movie images, with side masking from the 156-inch Stewart Filmscreen VistaScope display. "Using the motorized preset for lens shift on the Titan, we are able to toggle between a 123-inch image in a 1:78 aspect ratio to a dramatic 156-inch image in a 2:40 aspect ratio," explains Marcel Bendenoun of Audio Video Design.
Not three, but four Bay Audio PTM/Two speakers fire from behind the acoustically transparent microperforated display. Due to the size and depth of the room, and the fact that the speakers had to be placed a foot from the back of the screen, two of the speakers are used to handle both the top and lower center channels. This ensures intelligible dialogue through the center channels. Gobs of bass come from two 18-inch Bay Audio Impact subwoofers and a massive 24-inch Bay Audio Rumble subwoofer, also located on the front wall.
Four more PTM/Two speakers are in the side walls for surrounds, with their drivers exposed and their enclosures painted red to match the walls—and two more blend into the black rear wall to round out the 7.1-channel system.
Sound was contained to the basement construction by floating the walls and ceiling with Resilient Channel suspended framing during construction. Layers of Sheetrock, Acoustiblok vinyl and QuietRock were used on the walls to help prevent the sound from seeping into other areas of the house.
LED strip lighting separates sections of the theater and lends it a vibrant touch. It's controlled by a Lutron lighting system, which also illuminates a blue LED in a front corner to alert the homeowner when someone is at the front door.
The lounge area can play the same audio and video as the theater or be its own separate zone. It features a 40-inch Samsung LED TV, six Sonance Visual Performance VP67R in-ceiling speakers,
Bay Audio JamSubs and a Crestron iDoc if guests want to play DJ with their iPals.
The area, which also contains a pool table, bar and arcade games, is wrapped in velvet drapes and punctuated with large chairs like those you might find in a Manhattan lounge. Get comfortable, big shot. The night is young.

Applied Legal Theory and Analysis (1080)
Applied Legal Theory and Analysis is a required first-year course that teaches students the fundamental lawyering skills of communication, research, legal analysis and reasoning, and problem solving. ALTA begins with doctrine most often conceptually difficult material from the law of Contract and requires students to apply that doctrine at increasingly sophisticated levels in the context of preparing specific documents common to the practice of law. There are three units of research and writing assignments. The first unit explores the foreseeability element of consequential damages, the second unit delves into consideration doctrine, and the third unit involves a federal statutory issue. The fall semester focuses on predictive writing, and the winter semester focuses on persuasive writing and transactional drafting. The highlight of the course involves students' participation in the G. Mennen Williams Moot Court Competition.

|2013-14 school budget projects $150,000 deficit
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Authorizing the use of $150,000 from the General Fund beginning fund balance, the Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education finalized its budget for the 2013-14 year.
The school board approved the June budget at its June 18 meeting, following a budget hearing which had no public comment. Estimated beginning fund balance on July 1 is $1.5 million.
There was a minor increase in funding from the state, but the district still has a negative factor of over $700,000.
The following appropriations for the adopted budget were approved for 2013-14:
General Fund $5,777,792
Bond Redemption 573,844
Construction 746,758
Food Service 238,000
Trust and Agency 373,506
Activity 332,026
Total Approp. $8,041,926
Summer construction projects updated
Superintendent Bret Miles updated the board on summer construction projects at last week's meeting.
Capital projects include three concrete projects with firm bids, ready to be scheduled; carpet in elementary computer lab and library, scheduled in June; and automatic door openers for three handicapped entrances, ready to order equipment.
In his technology project report, Miles said office computers, Promethean boards and laptops will be ordered July 1, and Infinite Campus will be rolled over with routine cleanout maintenance to be performed on all machines.
On the new track grant, Miles said the survey is complete, rough grade is being scheduled, sprinklers are being moved, and they're expecting concrete this week. Light poles have been ordered, measurements for wire are complete, and relocation of the city power line is being looked at.
Phase 2 construction projects are under way this summer. Miles said dual light switches are half complete at the elementary school and prices are being sought for the JR/SR High; an air conditioner for the server room has been ordered, and is expected to be installed by Sullivan's Appliance this week; and science lab upgrades have started—sinks are almost ready, gas valves are ordered, and electricity is complete.
Elementary classroom doors are ordered, and some exterior doors are being priced. Keyless entry with alert security at the elementary has been ordered. Parts are here, and they're working with the gas company for hookup for the snowmelt at the old gym.
Fixtures have been identified and are being priced for restroom upgrades, metal siding on gables has not begun, elementary sprinkler system has not begun, controls system upgrade is in, and prices are being sought for adding old gym interior doors.
Routine summer maintenance projects include painting identified rooms, regular carpet shampooing and general overhaul of classrooms, as well as mowing and trimming.
Other business
In other business at the June 18 meeting, the Re-1J board:
—hired Carly Daniel, Tarah Kasdorf, Allie Billings, Kari Sandquist and Crystal Rigel as teachers for the 2013 elementary summer school program.
—approved first reading of policies on security/access to buildings, staff key control system; alcohol and drug-free workplace; staff use of facilities; and home schooling.
—gave final approval on second reading of the grading scale policy.
—held a 30-minute executive session prior to the meeting with Miles and legal counsel Mike Schreiner to obtain advice on specific legal questions.
—noted there will be a board retreat Tuesday, July 2, but no regular meeting. The next regular meeting will be held Tuesday, July 16 at 8 p.m.

The Academy Awards–otherwise known as The Superbowl for Women–is around the corner, which means much speculation about what all the lady attendees will wear (but no speculation about bro-xedos because man fashion on the red carpet is the only thing more boring and safe than lady red carpet fashion). So here's a gallery of the women nominated (or women in films that are otherwise nominated, eg Tilda Swinton) and our guess for their Oscar night looks.

Got rid of my old (and I mean old) Garmin GPS and am considering a new one that I can load gps/topo maps via a chip instead of plugging in the unit to my computer. I am considering the new Montana 650T. Any one have one...if so how do you like it. I would also consider other GPS alternatives. Won't be using one in my PU or SUV as I have one for them.

|"Antimatter seems our only possibility."
|Spock :
|"An ounce should be sufficient. We can drain it from the ships engines, transport it to the planet's surface in a magnetic vacuum field."
|Kirk :
|"Contact medical stores. I want as much haemoplasm as they can spare in the transporter room in fifteen minutes."
|Garrovick :
|"Yes sir."
|McCoy :
|"I presume you plan to use the haemoplasm to attract the creature?"
|Krik :
|"We must get it to the antimatter. It seems attracted to red blood cells, what better bait could we have?"
|Spock :
|"There is still one problem, captain."
|Kirk :
|"The blast, yes."
|Spock :
|"Exactly. A matter-antimatter blast will rip away half the planet's atmosphere. If our vessel is in orbit and encounters those shock waves..."
|Kirk :
|"A chance we'll have to take, Mister Spock."

Note the absolutely gigantic crater on the surface. In this image the planet is some 490 pixels in diameter; it is hard to judge the size of the crater with any precision, but as shown the innermost ring of the crater is around 123 pixels in diameter, whilst the outermost extent of it is 235 pixels – with rays extending beyond that almost across the entire hemisphere.
If the planet is Earth-sized, then the diameter is about 12,700 km and so each pixel equals about 26 kilometres. That would make the innermost part of the crater 3,190 km in diameter, and the outermost ring 6,090 km. Again, it's worth noting that these are approximate figures because it's not easy to judge the scale of something on a rounded surface like this. But it's clear, this outer diameter of this crater is certainly in the region of 6,000 km in diameter. It's certainly obvious that this detonation was far, far and away beyond a megaton or two. So both the spoken evidence, the evidence of the effect on the ship, and the visual evidence of what happened to the planet all agree that this is a serious, planet-wrecking event – all from one ounce of antimatter!
Either Kirk changed his mind offscreen and decided to take a damn sight more of the stuff down there... or this antimatter is doing things our present day science says it should not be able to do.
Further confirmation comes in the episode 'The Immunity Syndrome'. In this the Enterprise encounters a region of 'blackness' in space. They penetrate it and fly towards the centre for some time, before eventually discovering a gigantic space-going amoeba at the centre. Spock describes it thusly :
Spock :
|'Readings coming in now captain. Length approximately eleven thousand miles. Width varying from two thousand to three thousand miles. Outer layer studded with space debris and waste, interior consists of... protoplasm. Varying from a firmer gelatinous layer to a semi-fluid central mass. Condition... living'
The space amoeba. Note the darker nucleus.
The ship eventually penetrates the amoeba and decide to use an antimatter charge to kill the creature :
|Kirk :
|"Anti power."
|McCoy :
|Kirk :
|"This thing has a negative energy charge, everything seems to work in reverse. We'll use antimatter."
|Scotty :
|"Aye, it couldn't swallow that!"
|Kirk :
|"Mr Chekov prepare a probe. Scotty, we'll need a magnetic bottle for the charge. How soon?"
|Scotty :
|"It's on its way sir!"
|Kirk :
|"Mr Chekov, we'll use a timing detonator for the probe. We'll work out a setting. Helmsman, when do you estimate arrival on nucleus?"
|Helmsman :
|"Seven minutes sir."
|McCoy :
|"How close are you going to it?"
|Kirk :
|"Point blank range. We'll implant it and then back away."
|McCoy :
|"Why, the probe has a range of-"
|Kirk :
|"With the eddies and currents in that thing, the probe could drift thousands of kilometres. We must be exactly on target, because we won't have a second chance."
We can approach the idea of super-antimatter in one of three ways :
1) We're the ones with the problem...
The first option is to say that our present day knowledge of antimatter is flawed. In the future, scientists will discover that antimatter can indeed act in the ways that Star Trek shows it to.
This is, to put it mildly, highly unlikely. At the beginning of this article I mentioned the recent creation of 50,000 antimatter atoms by CERN. Scientists have been experimenting with subatomic particles of antimatter since the discovery of the positron (anti-electron) in 1932, and creating antimatter atoms for years now. To suggest that we could suddenly discover that all our knowledge of antimatter is wrong would be akin to suggesting that we could suddenly discover that Gold is a type of soft rubber.
2) New types of antimatter
A little more credible is the idea that the scientists of the future have discovered some form of 'super-antimatter'. A material which shares enough of the properties of antimatter to share the name, but which is different in other ways. This could be analogous to the way in which liquid crystals are so named because they have some of the properties of a liquid and some of the properties of a crystal.
This explanation has the advantage that it avoids most of the stepping on the toes of present day science whilst still allowing us to accept the canon as fact.
3) It's just a TV show, stupid!
Option three is the old fall back - the writers made a mistake, let's ignore it and move on. While this has the virtue of being literally true, it's an attitude that I've always thought of as being somewhat lazy and lacking in imagination. Your mileage may vary.
In accepting either option 1 or 2, we are accepting that the antimatter used in Star Trek is thirty billion times more powerful than that we know of today - each kilogram of M/AM mix would yield about 5.6x1027 J, equivalent to a 1,300,000,000,000 Megaton bomb. This has all kinds of implications for the power generation capacity of Starships and the yield of their weapons. For instance, 3 kg matter/antimatter charge described in the TNG technical manual would yield 3,900,000,000,000 Megatons instead of the 62 Megaton maximum possible with normal antimatter. The 2,000 kg M/AM charge carried by the Cardassian Dreadnought missile would have a yield of 2,600,000,000,000,000 Megatons. This begins to approach the kind of levels needed to blow a planet completely into fragments!
Quite how super-antimatter manages to produce so much energy is a mystery. In Star Trek most such mysteries revolve around subspace, which acts as a kind of catchall explanation to make everything work just as the plot demands it should. So maybe the reaction between matter and super-antimatter releases energy from subspace. Or maybe the Wicked Witch of the West throws evil fairy dust on it. It doesn't really matter, the point is that this is the conclusion that the evidence forces us to.
Although a strong canonical case can be made for this material, and the levels of power that would result, it is not something I have chosen to apply in the remainder of this website. At least, not yet...

To celebrate the Royal anniversary, One Hundred Years: One Hundred Works offers a chance to view the largest ever single showing of works from the RWA's collection, including some of the leading British artists of the last century. In the 169 years since the RWA was founded, and particularly during the century since gaining Royal status, the Academy has built up an outstanding art collection, comprising more than 1700 works.
Collecting began in 1849 with a bequest of a collection of paintings from benefactor Ellen Sharples and has burgeoned since 1941 when Augusta Talboys, an artist member, left a sum of money for purchases, which has subsequently enabled the collection to acquire over 1000 works.
Featuring works by Gillian Ayres, Vanessa Bell, Elizabeth Blackadder, PJ Crook, Mary Fedden, Duncan Grant, Alethea Garstin, David Inshaw, Richard Long, Danny Markey, Jeanne Du Maurier, Dod Procter, Simon Quadrat, Anne Redpath, Gilbert Spencer and Carel Weight.
The exhibition provides a once-in-a-hundred years chance to view significant works from the RWA collection.
* Please note: to view the exhibition in its entirety, please visit between 2 – 27 October. Outside these dates, one of the three galleries will not be accessible.

Buck's Bouncing Baby Boys…
Catcher John Buck, along with his wife Brooke, capped the Royals sweep over the Tigers Thursday by adding a couple more names to the Buck Family Lineup…
At 5:29 p.m. – just more than an hour after KC's 8-4 win – Cooper Buck entered the world…and, at 5:31 p.m., Brody Buck joined the party!
Yup, John and Brooke welcomed their twin boys to our extended Royals family – and mom, dad and babies are all doing great!
John, who didn't start behind the plate Thursday as he awaited news from the doctor, actually left the game with a few innings remaining in order to reach Brooke at the hospital in time. In the end, he got to be there for the birth of his "boys in blue" while still being able to watch our "Boys in Blue" take home another victory!
John will rejoin the team, which begins an 11-game road trip Friday, in a few days.
One fun fact that Buck learned: his boys share a birthday with Hall of Famer George Brett, who celebrated 55 years on May 15!
On behalf of the Royals family, congrats to the entire Buck family!

My husband likes to travel light, so which scuba roller bag should i get? The Curacao or the Akona? I am leaning toward the Curacao. Is this bag sufficient? Thank you.
Curacao Rolling Bag
The Curacao Clipper is a fantastic, full sized dive bag that is loaded with features. The bottom compartment is fully capable of accommodating a complete dive set-up, while the top compartment will hold personal clothing, additional gear, and accessories. We have internal pockets for further gear organization. The entire bag is easily transported on our unique and dynamic frame, which is light yet very durable.

I have a tc encore muzzleloader and am thinking of gettingna scope for it. Any ideas?
I have a tc encore muzzleloader and am thinking of gettingna scope for it. Any ideas?
I think about any muzzleloader scope will work just fine, bushnell, leupold, nikon, and cabela's has their own brand. My dad has a bushnell and he really likes it on his TC. He's smoked a couple goats at and over 200 yds. with it.
I have a Nikon Omega on mine and it is a nice scope.
I like the Nikon Omega too very clear and bright. I got the 250 BDC late last summer when they were phasing them out ( $150 after nikon rebate). Don't know if anybody would still have them or not ,but you can't beat that deal. My encore Prohunter is the best feeling gun I own and the Omega only makes it better. I'm not the type to buy something because someone on TV hypes it up. The gun was a gift from someone and as become a favorite.
Is that the 1.65-5x36mm scope western? I see cabela's has them on sale.

LGBT Community Is Financially Sound—Yet Concerned
Our new "LGBT Financial Experience 2012-2013 Research Study" provides a snapshot of the financial lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Americans. The study reveals that LGBT Americans are by and large a financially robust community that actively contributes to the country's economy. Its members are generally confident about their financial futures, but not without concerns—the main concerns being retirement, legislation that negatively affects their financial rights, and the lack of Social Security survivors benefits for same-sex couples.
Watch Prudential leaders and actor Wilson Cruz discuss findings from the study and the unique challenges the LGBT community faces with regard to retirement planning and saving. Watch video now.
Read articles with tips for managing your personal life.
Key findings of the study include:
- Retirement is the top LGBT financial concern. 78% of participants are already saving for retirement. Baby Boomers face challenges, including employment discrimination, that suppress their savings potential. Also, HIV left many gay men taking early retirement.
- The LGBT community has a mid-range financial confidence, with gay men somewhat more confident than lesbians.
- Compared with the general population, the LGBT community feels less prepared to make wise financial decisions for a variety of unique legal, economic, and social reasons.
- The majority of participants say they are upbeat about their finances: 22% say they are "upscale or doing well," and 47% say they are "paying their bills and staying independent," while 31% feel they are "on the edge or falling behind."
- Median LGBT household income is $61,500 vs. $50,000 for the average American household. LGBT households supporting a child reported a median income of $71,100.
- Gay men earn more than lesbians individually ($49,000 vs. $43,500 median income), a gap smaller than that of the general population. Lesbians reported marginally higher median household income than gay men ($63,700 vs. $62,300), but are more likely to live in a dual-income household and have children.
LGBT Family and Marriage
- 49% of participants were single, 7% were in a legally recognized relationship, and 34% lived together with no legal protections. 15% were parents, of which 27% reported being single, similar to the general population.
- The number of LGBT parents continues to grow and is expected to increase significantly starting with Generation Y. Already 23% of lesbians and 7% of gay men are fiscally responsible for a child under age 18. Among Gen Y study participants, 11% already have children and an additional 49% plan to have children in the future.
*The "LGBT Financial Experience 2012-2013 Prudential Research Study" was conducted by Community Marketing Inc. of San Francisco, CA, which surveyed a diverse group of 1,401 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Americans aged 25-68 from urban, suburban, and rural communities throughout the 50 states in the month of August 2012. No income or other criteria were required to participate; respondents included the wealthy, the middle-class, and those struggling to pay bills.

Three of the four Republican members of Cincinnati City Council introduced a motion today calling for the city manager to immediately begin enforcing all city laws at Piatt Park, which eventually might result in the arrest of Occupy Cincinnati protestors.
Councilman Wayne Lippert introduced the motion this afternoon. Councilwomen Leslie Ghiz and Amy Murray signed the document, giving it their support. It would require at least two more signatures to have enough backing to be approved.
Local residents have a unique opportunity to participate in a candidate forum featuring people running for Cincinnati City Council that will occur this Saturday.
As it has done for the past few election cycles, The Greenwich nightclub in Walnut Hills will host the forum, which currently is scheduled to include all 23 candidates vying for the nine council seats. This year, the forum's theme is "Cincinnati 2012: Diary of a City in Transition," and it will be held from 7:30-11 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public, although seating is limited.

Me, too! I HATE fruit on the bottom yogurt - the chunky stuff ruins it. I like the flavor and wish they'd make whipped versions. In fact, I eat the yogurt off the top and throw away the jam, but then the yogurt isn't sweet enough. ARGH!

:) too funny! I want *everything* to be chunky! ice cream, PB, yogurt, nuts in chicken salad... et cetera.
Kar - Stonyfield's lowfat yogurt cups have some that are fruit on the bottom but some that are "smooth and creamy". Not sure about the "fat free" yogurt - I find the low fat more satisfying so I get those, but some may disagree!

Kar - fruit on the bottom yogurt is the most vile thing ever invented. I HATE it!. Try the Stonyfield Yo-kids - it's got the flavor, but is smooth.
I hate nuts in food so much that I sometimes tell people I'm allergic so I can avoid eating them without seeming rude. I know it's a horrible deception, but I can't help myself. I once went to visit a friend for a weekend at her mom's summer house in NH. She served pecan crusted fish on Friday night, a salad with walnuts mixed in on Saturday lunch and some sort of nut filled thing for dinner - maybe pasta with pesto (which I like) and extra walnut pieces in it. For breakfast the next day she made French toast - and sprinked nuts on it! I truly thought I'd die if I had to choke down another nut. I mean reallly...who does that???? :)

Thanks, friends! I thought I was the only one who found fotb yogurt VILE, LOL. I'll look for your suggestions. I love TJ's Greek Honey yogurt; to me it's the epitome of the perfect yogurt. (I don't care if it's not fat free - I count but don't necessarily avoid calories.)
And, I think the allergy deception is fine, I mean, really, if people could graciously accept you don't care for something it would be different, but they don't, they push and persuade and won't let it go. that is weird about the nut friend...I do that with cheese, but that's normal...right?!

I've got a picky eater, and one who eats everything. I've raised them both the same way, so try not to drive yourself too crazy.
One thing that has worked well for me is to focus on the "Trying" instead of the eating. It takes the pressure off a bit, and lets you focus on progress instead of "failures." Getting my LO used to just trying new things made a big difference in expending his palate down the road.
Cooking together can be fun, and a little less stressful if you prepare the measurements ahead of time so they just have to dump and mix. We make stuff like individual quiches in a cupcake pan (mix and pour the eggs, then let them add shredded cheese, etc). Very simple, and the individual servings are handy later.
In addition to cooking, I recommend shopping together. Enlist a second adult so it's less hectic, and take both kids to the store. Let them explore the food options and see what appeals to them, you may be surprised. I'd recommend doing this in a Whole foods if you can, because it's sort of hard to find unhealthy options there (Not that I judge treats, I LOVE treats, but it can be a distraction for this exercise). Also, they have kid size carts, which make it kind of fun.
Also, our local grocery store has a substantial prepared foods section, so I take the kids and say, you have to eat 3 veggies, which would you like to pick? They may be more inclined to eat stuff they picked out. Plus, the prepared foods are a great way to try a little bit of a new food, so you don't get frustrated by the time and expense sunk into something they won't eat. If you just buy one chunk of tofu, a few beans etc, it's not expensive at all.
I don't work for Whole Foods or anything, I shop at Shaws and Trader Joes too, It just works for me in this case. Also, summer is coming, and Farmer's Market's can be a great place to get kids interested in some new foods. The vendors are usually really happy to talk about their farms, and sometimes give a free sample.
I've had some success with a "this then this" approach. So I say, totally casually "if you eat your veggies you can have ice cream, it's up to you." I think of it less as a bribe, but as giving them the power to make the choice, and making it less adversarial. But it's important to be act cool when you do it.
One friend swears her kid will eat anything off of toothpicks, and another swears by dipping. I've never had success with either, but may be worth trying.
Remember, they won't starve themselves, this will pass. Try to stay calm (even though it can be SO frustrating), to avoid making food or mealtime a "thing." Good luck, it will definitely get better.

In response to misslily's comment:
I still prefer all these foods without the crunchy stuff. :)
Oh, yes, WHY do they put crunchy in smooth stuff? Peanuts in peanut butter, no way! NUTS in brownies? Way to ruin a perfectly yummy brownie... and I hate to mix the fruit into the yogurt, you always get plain yogurt and then a bite of just fruit bits, oh, yuck!
Also, yoplait makes a whips yogurt and another one that is mixed all through (and that one is low fat) so it's possible. I now get chobani "greek" yogurt (I say this in quotes because these companies are not greek, are not importing from greek, so it's not greek yogurt, it's 'greek type' yogurt, although even then, is it really made with goat's millk? NO? then not greek yogurt.... but anyhow....
I somehow can deal with chobani yogurts - they seem to mix well.

huh, a whole subculture of nut haters and smooth/chunky enemies! Misslily, that nut weekend menu sounds delicious! ;) Well, thanks for the insight - it's nice to know that DD is in good company!
I like your suggestion, micromom, about the grocery shopping. DD loves the grocery store, so I will try to involve her in more of the decisions about what to actually get. Sadly, our WF does not have kid-sized carts, but apparently the TJ's near my mom does, so that will be a fun excursion some time.

This is so funny! I am with the ones who love the fruit on the bottom of yogurt (but only Ciobani), maybe because I am not a huge fan of the actual yogurt. And I would eat nuts on anything. I can't stand things that are all one consistency, it makes me ill. So interesting!
Micromom - I love the idea of letting DD pick out a veggie or two in the grocery store! she is all "I pick it!" with everything else, so she'd probably love that.

I went to dinner last night with friends, one of whom has a son 2 months older than my DD. Food came up. Actually, I think I brought up how DD now knows what dessert (or, as she calls it, "bessert") is. Anyway, my friend (I'm sure not realizing it) proceeded to tell us how good her son is about eating and her routines for dessert (if he takes x number of bites of everything on his plate, he gets dessert but that they don't TELL him that, they just do it, etc, etc.). Sort of in that "this is all you need to do" way of indirect advice-giving. Totally made me feel badly that DD is not a good eater. I started to get defensive, but then decided to just let it go and make a mental note to avoid those discussions in future. This is the same friend whose son sleeps until 8:30ish every morning and has pretty much since birth.
Sorry, just had to vent a little.

Poppy-I bet the child is reading at the 6th grade level now and mastering Bach on the piano. :)
I wonder how many of us are more critical of our children's behavior (a.k.a. our parenting skills/capabilities) here than we are to people IRL? Much safer to open up here to people who don't really know us, can't really judge us, about our small little struggles with every day issues (feeding/discipline etc) than with friends who can judge us more easily?
ETA: I love crunchy food! Prob why my kids prefer to eat raw veggies to cooked ones.

Poppy, there's always someone like that. Whatevah. I keep reminding myself of how my husband ate almost no variety growing up and now he is pretty much fully functioning. :)
I was laughing to myself this weekend because I made a bag of frozen sweet potato fries. By the time they were ready, DD was chomping at the bit and ate a TON, even though she hasn't touched sweet potato in a year. Now I'm wondering if my new plan can be to call lots of things "fries"???

Ah.... crunchy food vs. smooth
fruit on bottom yogurt vs. all mixed together...
nuts in brownies or not...
Almost like old times on the wedding boards when the dreaded cash bar was discussed!
On a more serious note, I'm so glad that it seems like the people on these boards are ok and were not injured (or family members) during the bombing. I heard about it, called my parents and sister in the Boston area, and sent an email to parents regarding tightening our procedures at our center, since sometimes when something happens in one major city, something happens in another city, and DC can be a target. But so incredibly sad that going to, or running in, a marathon can lead to death and the loss of limbs. Truly horrible.

Just wanted to post as my DS (2 1/2) absolutely will not eat sides. He eats just about any meat.. loves steak. Asks for it every night almost. But won't touch a starch if its presented as a side (mashed, roasted potatoes, rice, pasta) He's gladly eat a french fry (regular or sweet potato... but I think its more the mechanism to injest more ketchup). Although oddly enough he'll eat plenty of mac and cheese, don't think he realizes that is a starch. And he won't touch a single veggie out there. He knows they are veggies... even one's he's never seen before. Sometimes I'll put an apple or banana on the side and he'll have a bite... but he really just wants the meat. I have all these great plates with different sections and we just use one for the meat :-) He just started picking at the pasta when we give him pasta and meatballs. My only option for veggies are the pouches still. He will inhale one of those and sometimes ask for another. So even at his age, I still give him one a night to give him the fruit/veggie serving. One of those things I try not to judge myself on.
And speaking of fruit on the bottom (which I am just fine with), has anyone tried the Stoneyfield Chocolate on the bottom!!?? OMG... heaven in a cup! And the chocolate has no chips for your smooth eaters out there :-)

Make Beautiful Boxes By Adding A Few Splines
The Eagle America Spline Jig was designed for your table saw to save you time and help you safely create strong, decorative joints. Used when making fine furniture, picture frames and boxes, spline joints are one of the most beautiful methods of joinery used in woodworking.
You can use contrasting wood tones or various spline thicknesses to create decorative accents. Spline joints are not only attractive but they feature extra gluing surfaces when compared to a plain joint, making them one of the strongest joints you can make.
The jig measures 12″ W x 24″ L and features an embedded t-track with two stop blocks. Use both stop blocks to sandwich and cut splines in narrow projects, one stop block to clamp and index cuts on medium sized projects or remove both stop blocks for larger projects such as boxes.
The base of the jig is made from durable 1/2″ HDPE which creates a smooth, non-marring surface that slides easily across your table saw top. The adjustable 18″ miter bar will fit in any standard 3/4″ miter slot. Made in USA!
We also recommend using our Thin Rip Jig which allows you to safely and accurately cut thin splines on the left-hand side of the blade so there is no burning, binding or kickback.

Roast Coffee Pairing #13: Battle of the Lightweights
Mexico, Honduras; two origins with sullied reputations for quality coffee. Most know Mexican coffee, Oaxaca and Chiapas in particular. But there are few small "Estate" type farms in Mexico that focus on quality. Instead, the better coffees come from vast cooperatives of small-holder farmers. Honduras has both small single-family farms with their own mills, and a strong cooperative system in the Marcala region, where most of our lots originate. So what is the quality potential? First up we have a new lot: Mexico Organic Chiapas Proish Coop. this cup has a clean fruited character with a touch of cherry vanilla flavor, we went for a City+ roast to highlight the refined character of this coffee. The Mexico is paired with Honduras FTO Marcala -Beneficio Santa Rosa a more nutty flavor profile with a bit of apple acidity. We roasted this one in the Full City range to bring out the cocoa powder flavors that compliment the cup so well. This week we were trying for 16 minute roast times and the final thermoprobe temperatures were in the 432-435 range for both coffees. Here is my straight-talk for these origins: "Mexico, Honduras, let's be frank. You will never be Kenya, a bright and intensely powerful coffee. But your clean, light-bodied, simple flavor profile can be a nice relief from the overbearing flavors of other origins, of earthy and pungent Sumatras, bright Yirga Cheffe from Ethiopia, leathery Yemens. So keep it up!"

15 Mean Mugging Movie Characters Who Can Ruin Your Day With One Look
At some point or another, youve been mean mugged before. Whether by some bitch who is intimidated by your hotness, by some asshole who wants to step outside and throw down because he saw you making a different kind of eye at his girlfriend or maybe by your wife because you took a nap instead of going to the grocery store, youve been victimized by someone who has attempted to punch you in the face with their eyes. For at least a few seconds, you probably were a bit offended and caught off guard, but the good news is you survived. You weathered that eyeball hate tornado and emerged a stronger, fiercer person, now more capable than ever of continuing to be you, regardless of who might have a problem with it.
That deserves a celebratory high five, depending on what time of day it is, a celebratory Mikes Hard Lemonade and most especially, a few words of warning. You may have crossed paths with the biggest bitch in your town and won that ocular faceoff, but there are others out there who arent worth messing with. There are some who are more than capable of ruining your entire day with one intimidating gaze that will corrupt your self-esteem and maybe even some of your vital organs.
Want examples? Lets start with these fifteen movie characters who could make the devil piss himself with one glance of the eyes
Tinker Bell From Disneys Peter PanDisney may have taken Tink in a much happier and friendly direction with all these recent straight-to-DVD fairy movies, but the truth is shes got more than her share of anger to her in the original 1953 animated film. She despises Wendy with a passion and even schemes to have her killed. The whole assassination plot doesnt work out, but judging by those piercing eyes seen above, shes more than capable of making you question everything you just did with one vicious glance.

37th Annual World of Wheels, Boston, Massachusetts - Stepping Back in TimeWritten by Chuck Vranas on April 7, 2011
For longtime visitors of the World of Wheels in Boston, Massachusetts, it was always an icy cold treat when the show came to town in the dead of winter. With the recent sale of the venue that hosted the event for countless years, a decision was made to revisit one of its original exhibition halls to try and bring back a bit of nostalgia while also moving the show to the first weekend of April. The transition to the Seaport World Trade Center (formerly known as the Commonwealth Pier Exhibition Hall) was well executed and seamless, bringing close to 200 of the areas most scorching hot rods, customs, muscle cars, and motorcycles to town combined with top-notch vendors to produce a show that looked like it had been hosted there for decades. Weekend visitors were treated to countless new rides making their debut's including Steve Pierce's Quad Rod '32 Ford coupe and Wilson & Steely Kustom Coachworks' dramatic '29 Ford roadster exuding plenty of early '60's style. Walking through the event was the perfect time to catch up with old friends and talk about plans for the upcoming rodding season while checking out new innovative products from the GM Performance Division and other cool vendors. Special exhibits including Drag City USA left a scent of race fuel in the air, while special feature cars like Downtown Brown, Scythe, and 6-Pack kept the crowds buzzing. One of the focal points at any World of Wheels event are the personal appearance by numerous celebrities and this year there were deep lines to meet Capt. Johnathan Hillstrand from TV's Deadliest Catch, Danielle from TV's American Pickers, Disney's Zendaya Coleman, and New England Patriot Ron Gronkowski. Any way you cut it, the event was a blast. You can check it all out at www.autorama.com

Steve Pierce's Quad Rod was an engineering masterpiece incorporating 4x4 driveline components from a '04 Ford Explorer matched to a '07 Lincoln Navigator rearend. Power comes from a built 302ci Ford V-8 while stance is dialed in from an adjustable front suspension.Starting out as a '29 Ford sport coupe, Simon Steely's roadster was fresh from the stables of Wilson & Steely Kustom Coachworks. Sitting on Deuce 'rails, power comes from a 383ci Chevy while a full custom aluminum interior seals the deal.One of the most-wicked engines of the weekend was in Simon Steely's '29 Ford roadster. The 383ci Chevy breathes deep through an Offy 6-pot topped with six deuces capped with Scott tops while Edelbrock aluminum heads generate plenty of power.Xtreme Restorations of Slatersville, RI, hit a homerun with Lou Querusio's elegant '59 Cadillac custom. With over 50 body mods, hand stitched leather interior, and mirror-straight body, it simply left you in awe.Rich brown pearl vibe combined with seductive fabrication, a custom leather interior; one-off wheels, and infinite attention to detail made the dramatic '35 Ford coupe known as Sinuous owned by Harold and Rhea Schrader a crowd pleaser.Rich and Paige Udell's Timeless '32 Ford roadster gave you a glimpse of what hot rodding might look like in the future. The molded body, curved windshield, dazzling Hilborn injected '57 Chrysler Hemi and big-inch wheels made quite the statement.In keeping with a theme, Mike Tarquinio's Deuce roadster was adorned with plenty of rare Lincoln Zephyr parts and crowned with a coating of traditional blue glamour.Bill Raso's '36 Ford coupe was drenched in lemon yellow gloss complimented by flowing flames and custom designed wheels. An endless array of dramatic updates and a unique interior by Ronnie's gave it endless personality.
If you dig traditional mild customs, Dana Schaeffer's '66 Mercury Monterey had all the right accents including a devilish black and gold polished suede body with tasty scallops, dummy spots, Bellflower tips, and steelies with Lancer caps and 1-inch whitewalls.Visitors to the GM Performance Division's display got a real treat with the ECOTEC Lakester Generation II on display. Powered by a modified ECOTEC engine, it has reached speeds of 203mph at Bonneville and is a collaborative effort between the GM Performance Division, GM Design, and So-Cal Speed Shop.Laced with evil, Ryan Dwyer's razor sharp '41 Willys coupe was slammed to the ground, filled with a 502ci Rat, and set to roll on Weld Wheels.The Helger Bros. brought plenty of adrenalin to the show with their well-known '40 Ford drag coupe known as the Headhunter ready to tear up the strip.As slick as the come, Ray Krysto's '37 Ford coupe was bathed in a stunning purple pearl vibe, slammed to the ground, and filled with a decadent custom interior.There were a number of mild customs at the event including this subtle '54 Buick Special bathed in a combination of turquoise and white sporting pin flames, and rolling chrome wheels crowned with neat caps owned by Jesse Mayer.Erin Lewis' superb '49 J.C. Higgins Colorflow bicycle was restored to perfection by Xtreme Restorations and displayed with an original catalog showcasing the model.Sitting on a custom chassis with C5 Corvette suspension and urged by an injected Chevy 409ci V-8 massaged to 472ci, Fred Morrison's '55 Chevy Nomad was killer. It also featured a 1 1/4-inch chop, handmade trim, and a fully paneled underside.
Another popular car parked within the GM Performance Division display was this bitchin' '55 Chevy Bel Air showcasing their new E-ROD LS3 V-8 which is both emissions-compliant and environmentally-conscious.Chopped, channeled, and filled with a '54 DeSoto 331ci Hemi, Bram Young's '29 Ford Tudor rolled on apple green wires capped with wide whites.Holly Beck's '56 Olds custom was downright stunning with its two-toned body, skirts, Fiesta caps, and perfect stance.You can bet it took nerves of steel to ride Lucky Thibeault's Wall of Death '28 Indian now owned by Roger Chouinard.Some race cars just bring a smile to your face like Russ Capobianco's Booty Time Plymouth Valiant which is another local terror at the drag strip.

Access to certain Windows programs can be controlled by using Windows Features in Control Panel. For more information, see Turn Windows features on or off.
Some programs in Programs and Features can, in addition to being installed or uninstalled, be changed or repaired. By clicking Change, Repair, or Change/Repair (depending on the button displayed), you can install or uninstall optional features of the program. Not all programs use the Change buttons; many offer only Uninstall.
If the program doesn't uninstall completely the first time, sometimes running the uninstall program a second time will succeed.
If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the program while Windows is running in safe mode.
If you installed the program recently, you can try using System Restore to return your computer's system files to an earlier date before you installed the program.

Hi -
I had a question from a user about the difference between Zimbra's offline storage file (the Zimbra.zdb file, unless it's been renamed) and Outlook's native .pst file. They were asking about the file-size limits, since Outlook is somewhat notorious for corrupting .pst files that approach 2 GB in size.
After searching the forum (always!) and not finding anything on the subject, I tried renaming Zimbra.zdb -> Zimbra.pst
Then, from a non-Zimbra profile in Outlook 2003, I did "File -> Open -> Outlook Data File", and ... it mounted in the left folder-tree fine. I could go in and see all my calendar, mail, etc...
So, 2 questions that are more "out of interest" than anything else (read: low priority). First - does the Zimbra.zdb file suffer the same inherent instabilities as pst files as it approaches 2 GB?
Second (and I'll try this later) - If I just rename a .pst file to be .zdb, and then create a Zimbra profile in Outlook pointing to that zdb file, will it push up all the data to the server, thus bypassing the whole need for the Import Wizard? (I'm sure there are great reasons why doing that would be horrible... just curious).
Thanks to anybody who happens to know answers to either of these!

In her four years as a full-time employee at the Enterprise, Tomky has continued to refine her skills and add to her weekly responsibilities.
Publisher Brenda Brandt is pleased to announce Tomky's promotion and is confident in her ability to positively impact the paper and its image.
In her new role, Tomky will continue to handle advertising and commercial print job design, as well as page design for the weekly Enterprise. Her bylined stories and photography efforts will also continue on the pages of the paper, and she'll continue to move the paper forward in its web and mobile app presence.
Tomky's tremendous organizational skills and ability to look at the big picture in scheduling make her a solid choice for managing editor duties, according to Brandt.
She will coordinate the weekly story count for the paper, assigning stories to reporter Kyle Arnoldy and Brandt, as well as taking them on herself. She will continue to work with staff member Ashley Sullivan, who organizes job printing schedules for projects beyond the Enterprise itself.
Tomky's ideas for new features and new projects have been valuable in the past four years and make this move to her new role even more appropriate.
A 2004 graduate of Holyoke High School, Tomky completed an internship at the Enterprise in the summer of 2007 prior to her May 2008 graduation from Hastings College. She earned a B.A. degree in media production with emphasis in advertising and public relations and also a B.A. in music/piano performance.
Tomky has won multiple awards in both the Colorado Press Association and National Newspaper Association contests.
Counting the CPA awards that will be presented at the end of this month, she has won 17 individual awards and been part of 11 other group awards in CPA and NNA contests the past four years.
She was named Employee of the Year at the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce Gala in 2010. She has been involved in the community as a team captain and publicity chair for Relay For Life, adult leader for Fellowship of Christian Athletes and music coordinator for Saturday evening service at First Baptist Church.
Tomky is the daughter of Darrell and Debbie Tomky of Holyoke.

You know that moment when you're in your child's nursery and the sun pours in? No one's crying, no one needs a diaper....you're just enjoying being together. Elizabeth Mitchell's new release Blue Clouds feels like the soundtrack for that perfect moment. A collection of deliciously accessible songs that highlight Mitchell's voice. The arrangements are simple--with guitars, piano, fiddles, and bass. While the press release for this recording highlights that some of the music is from the likes of such legends as David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, and Van Morrison, none of that seems very important here. The take away, is a lovely collection of music to share. Click here to hear a sample.

I didn't draw a bear tag in Wasington this year, Since I have already purchased the Idaho license in order to put in for the Elk/Deer/Antelope draw I was thinking for heading to over to try Spring Bear in Idaho. What is 16A like? It doesn't look like it is much wilderness. How much snow is over that way this year? Does anyone know what the bear population is like? Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks much,

I am trying to customize the AJAX version of for example "Compose" page.
i've done that through the HTML version by editing /webapps/zimbra/h/compose and for example add a button between CC and Subject then running
"zmmailboxdctl restart" command. - everything fine
that works fine for html version, but i really dunno what to do in Ajax version of Zimbra.
Thanks in advance

I got a little bored sometime over the holidays and decided to learn a little Javascript. Since I'd been beta testing the HTML client, which doesn't refresh itself automatically, what I really wanted was something that could notify me when I got new mail.
I cobbled together a really simple little Firefox extension that periodically checks the server and puts a notification in the statusbar if there is new mail. The notification is clickable: it brings up a popup menu with the titles of the first 10 new messages in your account -- and if you're runnining v4.5 or later -- choosing an entry from the menu can take you directly to the message in the HTML client (unfortunately there's no direct-to-message URL support for the Ajax client, so clicking on a menu entry just takes you to the client).
You can install it from: http://curple.com/zimbracheck/.
Don't forget to configure it after you install -- it needs your server name, user name, and all that. It only works in FF, and very possibly might not even work for you -- did I mention this was my first ever Javascript program? I have been using it for about a month now, however, so it should be somewhat stable.
Known Issue: the extension doesn't handle auth token expiration correctly, and so once yours expires (after ~24 hours by default I think) you will need to quit and restart the browser.
Oh yah, and just to be ultra-clear: this is something I did on my own time and is completely unsupported by Zimbra. So don't go asking the support people for help with it -- they'll just come yelling at me, and then I'll have to remove the download and nobody will be able to use it.
