Send Gmail Email From Access VBA
The sample database provided gives an example of sending an email through Access using Gmail. In order for this to work, you must have a Gmail account, and know your user id and password. Also, in your Gmail settings, you will want to turn on less secure apps to avoid transport errors: (https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps)
After you set up your Company Emails and Passwords, the database utilizes your Gmail address and password that is selected on the Control Panel tab, to send your email. This is helpful when you have more than one person that needs to send emails. It also uses your customers' email address that is set up in Contacts. If you have the need to send emails to different people for different reasons (i.e.. Invoices go to firstname.lastname@example.com and status updates go to firstname.lastname@example.com), the sample database (below) allows for separate email addresses, and also allows for multiple email addresses. The email function will send to everyone in the field. Separate the addresses by semi-colons or commas.
Here's the code:
Dim msg As Object
Set msg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
msg.From = Forms![mainentry]![UserEmail] 'This is the user email chosen on the Control Panel tab. Must be a GMAIL account.
msg.to = [Forms]![mainentry]![invoiceemail1]'This is the Contact's email address(es) where invoices get sent to
msg.Subject = "Your Invoice is Attached"
msg.textbody = "Thank you!"
msg.CC = ""
msg.BCC = ""
msg.ReplyTo = Forms![mainentry]![UserEmail] 'Again, the user email from the Control Panel
msg.Configuration.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
msg.Configuration.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
msg.Configuration.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = Forms![mainentry]![UserEmail] 'Again, the user email from the Control Panel
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = Forms![mainentry]![password]'The user password from the Control Panel
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
msg.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
msg.HTMLBody = ""
'msg.HTMLBody = "Thank you!"
msg.HTMLBody = msg.HTMLBody & ""
'Following is the address block that gets inserted at the bottom of the email
msg.HTMLBody = msg.HTMLBody & "<font face=""arial"" size=""2″" color=""black""Test Company Name
"
msg.HTMLBody = msg.HTMLBody & "418 Anywhere Rd.

msg.HTMLBody = msg.HTMLBody & Forms![mainentry]![UserEmail]'Inserts the users' email into the address block
msg.HTMLBody = msg.HTMLBody & "" & SW & "

msg.HTMLBody = msg.HTMLBody & ""
MsgBox "Invoice Sent"
'You can comment out this last line if you don't want to be notified every time your email is sent.
Exit Sub

A carpenter set out to build a home, a real labour of love which he knew he would keep working on forever as he would be continually improving it. As he set about framing out one of the rooms he reached into his box of pegs and pulled out a square one. The thing is the hole he needed a peg for was round and whilst he knew he could force that square peg into the round hole it would not only put strain on the peg but its sharp edges would put tension on the surrounding wood frame. So he placed the peg back in the box and found one which fitted the hole perfectly. As time passed by that square peg found some of his sharp edges being transformed as he mingled with the other pegs in the box, each one with their own unique bumps and edges also being shaped by the other pegs. Then one day the carpenter found himself with need for a square peg with a few rounded off edges to fill a unique hole and he found that square peg as it now fitted the gap perfectly.
Why am I talking about square pegs and round holes, well a little while back the church I attend had a service all about doing our bit in church and joining one of the teams such as those who set up for the service or serve refreshments afterwards. And the pastor asked me if I was considering joining a team, which I was as I thought maybe being part of the host team would help me meet more people in the church, something as an introvert I have struggled with. But the thing is that the more I thought about it the more I felt uneasy and the more I realised that it wasn't the position for me right now, I was like that square peg. In fact I know if I had committed to that team I would have ended up dreading those Sunday's when it was my turn to greet people with a smile and eventually it could have led to me dropping out of church.
But you see I did say "right now" because I know, like that square peg, every time I go to church one of those sharp edges is smoothed down a little by the fellowship and the word and maybe in the future I will slot in to the host team and not feel that it would become a source of dread. I might at the same time find myself also fitting another hole and so might be involved in youth work or doing the refreshments. You see the more time we spend with God and in fellowship with other Christians the more transformed we become which is why for any introvert who reads this and who is struggling with church I encourage you to keep on going. It might take time, maybe a year or more, but slowly things get easier and patience is key as you find yourself being transformed by your church family. The alternative is not going to church or having fellowship with other Christians which leaves you to be shaped by the world.
So you might wonder where a square peg with some edges being rounded off fits in. Well whilst a square peg can't think I certainly can and I ask myself this simple question; what talent do I have, what can I do which feels so natural that I could do it all the time without getting tired and that I enjoy doing? Much to my surprise that is writing, it would probably surprise my English teacher as well as back when I was at school it didn't feel like I had any sort of gift for writing. But that is what writing feels to me now, like it is a gift from God that can be used to serve the church and other Christians, some I might never meet who read what I post on this blog from the other side of the planet. Maybe for you that thing which feels like a gift is baking or gardening, maybe you have a real talent for doing accounts or organizing events. What ever that is which feels like it comes from God find a way to use it to serve others in the church.
But there is something else worth knowing about a peg in a wooden frame; over time that frame shifts, it expands, it suffers the stresses of other additions to that building and pegs can end up becoming loose, no longer fitting the hole they once fitted snugly. But that doesn't mean that peg is no longer any good, it just means that maybe it needs replacing and used somewhere else where it might fit or it needs support from an extra peg next to it in the hole.
It is why I look back to my younger years when I was in church and was part of the behind the scenes team who did the sound and techie stuff as I know that whilst I might be able to help out now it would be temporarily as it isn't where I would fit in properly now. As such it is worth keeping in mind that whilst you may find yourself with a gift which fits a particular purpose now it doesn't mean that it will always be that way and we should be prepared that one day things might change and we find ourselves doing some thing else in the church.

It is now 8:50 pm. I just came in from gluing the wedge piece to the corner block material. From that board I will cut the corner blocks to match exactly the lengths to the skirts from behind the legs. They will be fastened to the skirt, I think, with pocket screws. The skirts will be fastened to the underside of the bottom case panel with pocket screws. The skirts butt up to the legs with beveled ends at 45 degrees. I forget how I fastened the legs to the bottom board. I will look at two or three pocket screws to see if that will work besides the corner block behind them with hangerbolts into the legs and held with the bolt end with washers and a nut.
I also did resaw the 3/4 inch thick walnut and then passed them through my planer. They are now 1/4 inch thick flat boards. I will cut rabbets in them on my new rip fence at my table saw so they will become the back board in ship-lap style of overlapping.
I layout the undermount drawer slides so I would know exactly how they will lay on the bottom panel inside the drawer case. They is just enough room for these 15 inch drawer slides.
I also milled today the poplar lumber that will make the drawer box. The figured walnut false front will be mounted and glued to the front board of this poplar box.
Tomorrow, I will begin the dovetails for the drawer. I will cut a groove that will accept the drawer bottom. I have to leave 9/16" below the drawer bottom in order to fit the underneath drawer slides. Two holes have to be precisely drilled into the back board of the drawer to accept the drawer slide. Also notches are cut into the back of the drawer again so the drawers slides will fit.
I will cut the skirts to the lengths I measured from the sketch layout I i on the bottom panel. Those skirts get 45 degree bevels cuts. I have a table saw bevel sled to perform these cuts.
I made very good progress today.
My wedges cut at 4 degrees on the table saw.
My journal notes concerning the leg design with the 4 degree angles. The second page shows my sketch of the leg locations and then the wedge with the 4 degree cut that will keep the legs flared out along with the corner braces hold the legs in its place.
My table saw setup in order to rip the wedges at 4 degrees.
These legs are free standing on their own. The 4 degree angle does flare the legs outwards at its foot by 1 1/4 inches from its perpendicular original position.
I have the layout for the legs, skirts, corner brackets plus the 4 degree wedges sketched out on the case's bottom panel.
From that sketch I know within 1/16th of an inch the lengths of the skirts and corner brackets, tip-to-tip since they will have 45 degree bevel cuts on their ends so they will fit the 45 degree angled legs. From the center of this bottom panel, the square layout for the legs is at 13 1/2 inch square. This will keep the feet of the legs within the outer boundaries or edges of the case by at least 1/2 inch.
I have cut the wedges and I glued and clamped them to the corner bracket piece. I will cut a 45 degree bevel on the corner brackets so they fit flush to the skirts. Their lengths will be measured precisely and fitted behind each of the nightstand's legs that themselves are angled at 45 degrees.
Let's go…

Mars: the Curiosity rover is fully operational again
Apparently things are better than feared for Curiosity on Mars: after automatically going into safe mode on 2 July, Curiosity is once again fully operational, according to NASA.
"NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is resuming full operations today, following work by engineers to investigate why the rover put itself into a safe standby mode on 2 July", stated NASA in a press release.
The Curiosity team, which includes the Research Institute in Astrophysics and Planetology (IRAP) in Toulouse with the astrophysicist Sylvestre Maurice, successfully brought the rover out of "standby" and it recommenced its investigations on the surface of the Red Planet on 9 July.
For NASA, "the most likely cause" of Curiosity's decision to place itself into safe mode was a software problem regarding the transmission of on board images.
Curiosity: practically technological perfection
Curiosity has already travelled some 14 kilometres on the surface of Mars since it landed in Gale Crater almost 4 years ago, in August 2012.
The rover has constantly worked in very harsh conditions with extreme temperatures that can range between -145 degrees and + 25 degrees, plotting its course across a rough terrain, between rocks, on ground comprised of red dust, taking photos and studying the most remarkable rocks using its ChemCam instrument developed by IRAP.
Since its arrival, it has put itself into safe mode on just four occasions, including three times in 2013.
Completely satisfied, last week, NASA approved a two -year extension to its mission from October 2016.
Vital discoveries
During its first year on the planet, Curiosity demonstrated that over 3 billion years ago, the Gale Crater region had freshwater lakes and rivers offering an environment conducive to the potential emergence of microbial life.
The scientists for the mission, managed from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena (California) and the IRAP laboratories in Toulouse, are now seeking to further their knowledge about the era when Mars was a wet planet and why it became dry and inhospitable.
Curiosity, which reached the base of Mount Sharp in 2014 will now continue its ascent of the mountain.
"Now that we've skirted our way around the dunes (Editor's note: Bagnold Dunes) and crossed the plateau (Naukluft), we've turned south to climb the mountain head-on. It's a great moment for the mission", said Ashwin Vasavada in mid-June, one of the mission scientists for JPL.
Insatiable Curiosity
On its travels, the rover has collected rock samples and soil analyses in its small on board laboratory at 14 sites, and examined 12 rocks using its ChemCam instrument equipped with a laser.
On 4 June, it drilled the rock "Oudam". On the Naukluft Plateau, it set about drilling the "Lubango" rock, which presented an area of brighter sandstone near a fracture and "Okoruso".
At each stage, it is intriguing scientists.
In a paper recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division (AREA) at Johnson Space Centre in Houston found a discovery that could mark a turning point in the knowledge regarding the planet's evolution.
According to them, Curiosity could have uncovered a large presence of tridymite in Gale Crater at the site called "Buckskin". Tridymite is a mineral from acidic volcanic rock generally associated with silicic volcanism. Tridymite is known on Earth, but experts did not think that it would be found, or at least not in such great quantities, on Mars. This discovery could therefore challenge theories about the planet's volcanic history.
Furthermore, in a study published in early July by the review Science, a scientist from Caltech (Pasadena), Mathieu Lapotre, noted from the observation of the "Bagnold Dunes", that certain formations are not exactly the same as on Earth.
Both planets have large dunes, but also small ripples, like rippled corrugate, also made of sand. On Earth, on beaches, they are parallel, approximately 30 cm apart and formed by the action of the wind which sweeps the grains of sand over each other.
Curiosity has revealed that on Mars, these ripples can be approximately one metre apart and particularly sinuous, as if they were formed on Earth under flowing water like on a stream or river bed.
The study's authors conclude that they would have been formed by the wind which would not have acted as it does on Earth, sweeping the grains over one another but like the water of a river: "a fluid that was the Martian atmosphere". Additional observations on the form of these ripples has led them to believe that Mars lost a large part of its atmosphere quite early on in its history.

Flexible Working In An Agile World
24 March 2017 |
Dan Parkes | About a 6 minute read
Flexible working is becoming more common and increasingly important to employees as the benefits of a good work life balance become more apparent. This means Agile teams have to be prepared for individuals to work from home when they need to. So how can this fit in with Agile where communication and collaboration are key and the general advice is that teams should be co-located?
Luckily there are a number of technologies and tools out there which can be used to facilitate communication and collaboration with people working remotely to the extent you can almost forget that one of the team is not sat with you in the office! I once worked with an experienced Agile team who regularly practised pair-programming and had a developer that lived and worked from Versailles in Paris. To allow this the team had set up their space so that the developer and anyone else working remotely could see and hear what was happening in the entire team area and be able to easily contact and talk to anyone in the team at any time. This blog describes how the team set up their space and what tools they used.
Video Conferencing
The team had a number of developer stations set up and each station was named and had a Google Hangout permanently running. Any developers who were working remotely could just join the hangout on the machine their partner was working on in the office. This also worked well when a pair of developers were working remotely, they would both join the hangout on the 'empty' pairing station in the office and could be seen, heard and easily contacted by the rest of the team. The urls for each of these hangouts were shared in the team so anyone working remotely could just join the hangout for a particular station whenever they liked. As part of the Daily Scrum, as well as describing what the development pairs were working on for that day, they would also state which pair station they were using. The Daily Scrum was also done around one of the pairing stations which had a view of the Scrum board so anyone working remotely could be part of the Daily Scrum as if they were in the office.
As well as each pairing station being equipped with an HD webcam, spare machines were also set up in the team area with hangouts and cameras which were positioned to have different views of the area. Each pair could then invite the spare machines' hangouts to theirs so they could get a view of the cameras. Each of the hangouts on the spare machines were also muted to stop background noise being picked up.
Having a number of cameras that show different views of the team area can really help people working from home especially when meetings or team huddles take place. Being able to see everyone present can help the remote worker easily judge the atmosphere of the meeting and can help avoid embarrassing moments when the remote worker talks about someone they did not realise was there. It also helps them easily see if members of the team they need to speak to are in the team's area before they jump onto their hangout.
Microphones and speakers
Having good microphones in the office can make it much easier for the remote team member to communicate. Most modern office environments are noisy due to the open plan layouts and built in microphones tend to pick up background noise very easily often making it hard to hear for the remote worker. A good directional microphone cuts out this background noise and makes it easier for the remote worker to hear the team member they are talking to. A number of good microphones on the market also include a speaker which are often better quality than the built in speakers and have better volume control. Each pairing station was set up with a good directional microphone which included a speaker.
Of course, directional microphones are not always the best option especially when in a meeting. In these cases the team also had a good multi-directional microphone with inbuilt speaker. This could be used during team huddles and meetings where the remote worker needed to hear anyone who is speaking in the area or the room. As all these microphones/speakers were USB they could be swapped in and out quickly when needed.
To aid pairing, the team also used software that allowed them to easily pair on the code they were working on without having to swap who was sharing their screen. The individual working from home would use the software to remote into the pairing station. This would give the individual a view of the pairing station's desktop and be able to control the pairing station from their machine. In this way the remote worker could edit the code on the pairing machine when it was their turn to drive. When it wasn't they would easily be able to see what their partner was doing.
Team laptop
Finally the team had a laptop which also was set up with it's own hangout. This meant that if the team had meetings or sessions away from the team area anyone working remotely could still be part of them. All the team had to do was remember to take the laptop and the multi-directional microphone and speaker with them. This also allowed people working from home to attend department events as long as a member of the team was willing to set up the laptop beforehand.
Online Scrum boards
The team described above only used a physical Scrum board which worked for them as the they agreed they prefered a physical board and cards. The developer who worked in France would write down each story and all the acceptance criteria when the pair picked up a story so he had all the information to hand. His pairing partner in the office would move the cards on the Scrum board when needed. If a pair were working from home then they would just ask another team member to move their cards for them. As mentioned earlier, during the Daily Scrum the board would be moved in-front of a pairing station so anyone working from home could see it so at least once a day they had visibility of the actual board. However, the team could have easily used one of the number of online Scrum boards. These online boards, such as Trello, work just as well as a physical board and it should be left to the team to decide if a physical board or a virtual board works best for them. The benefits of online boards is that people working remotely can see the board at any time and easily edit it when they have finished a card. This is more important if the remote worker is not pairing with anyone in the office.
Other tools
There are number of other communication tools available and teams should utilise anything that helps them facilitate communication. For instance, Slack is being used by a number of organisations and has the benefit that teams can set up their own Slack channel allowing the whole team to be part of conversations. If the organisation you work in doesn't have Slack and Google Hangouts is blocked, then teams should utilise the tools available to them or put a case together to get the tools that will help them.
When a team has members who are working remotely the most important thing to do is to find a way to keep the lines of communication open so team members can easily collaborate no matter where they are based. The case study above shows how one team set themselves up to enable communication and collaboration with remote workers but different teams might have different budgets and other restraints such as certain software being blocked from use. As long as the team find ways to allow people working remotely to be able to collaborate with the team as if they are in the office then working remotely should not be a hindrance.Read More From This Author

A Toast To The Iranian Goat Fucker Ahamadinejad On The Anniversary Of The Islamic Revolution
Recently, the Iranian Midget Ahamadinejad has been ramping up again on his threats against the United States and Israel.
The Iranian government on Monday stepped up military threats in advance of an anniversary celebration as major powers continued talks on a new round of sanctions.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in Tehran that his country would stun the Western world on Thursday, the 31st anniversary of Iran's Islamic revolution. Iran's defense minister announced on Monday that its forces had conducted successful tests on new armed unmanned aircraft and advanced air defenses.
"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance [Western powers] on the 22nd of Bahman [Feb. 11] in a way that will leave them stunned," Ayatollah Khamenei was quoted as saying by Agence France-Presse.
Well, I can't just let that rest so I pulled up an old post when I combined a couple of poems I had found online and doctored up the words a bit just to fit that Goat Fucking peice of shit from Iran and would like to offer it to the Islamic Regime of Iran on the day they celebrate Jimmy Carter's surrender to them and their Islamic Revolution.
Here's what I think of your threats you little prick….
Here's to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that towelheaded scum, may the US blast his ass to kingdom come.
He's a bagless wonder that lives in a cave, may U.S. Marines piss Jack Daniels on that cocksucker's grave.
Mahmoud being a chickenshit faggot lives off camel turds with a topping of maggot, Ahmadinejad doesn't think we have the guts to come and blow off his islamic nuts!
We will eat all his hummus and drink all his tea, and screw every princess in Tehran.
We'll cut off his balls and split his bag, then wipe our asses on his Iranian flag. We will walk in his palace and shit on his floor, and hang Old Glory right over his door.
We'll nuke his cities and shit on the streets, and piss on every Iranian Shiite we meet. We will darken his honor and shorten his joy, and show him the spirit of this American Jew boy.
From the Land of the Free and the home of hte brave, we will march into Teharan and shit on his grave.
But now America is all done with his crap, so let's just nuke the fuckers right off of the map.
So here's to Mahmoud that son-of-a-bitch, may his pecker fall off with the seven year itch. May they beat on his balls with a big brass hammer, till his asshole starts whistling The Star-Spangled Banner.

Muslims Behaving Badly
They are simply not hiding it anymore. And why should they? The Mainstream Media and Government officials refuse to address the real issue of Islamic terrorism and instead condone it by ignoring it.
From Haaretz:
An airline passenger in Miami proclaimed "I want to kill all the Jews before police forced him off a Detroit-bound plane," authorities said Thursday.
Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43, of Ohio, was arrested Wednesday night, according to a police department statement. Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence.
FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said there were no indications the disturbance was related to terrorism. The bureau was initially brought in to look into the incident but is no longer involved in the investigation. She said the FBI is treating the disruption as a matter for local authorities.
I'm not afraid of you cops, I've gotten in fights with cops in Ohio and broke their arms in three places, he said, according to the affidavit. I've broken skulls too!
The affidavit noted that alcohol didn't appear to be a factor during the incident.
The Transportation Security Administration says three of Asad's companions were also taken off the plane and questioned. The plane departed after a search.
Asad was transported to jail after his arrest, according to the affidavit. A telephone number for county corrections rang unanswered early Thursday morning and his records could not immediately be located online.
What is the one thing that all these lunatics have in common? What is the one common denominator in all this?…….ISLAM
White Supremacist Terrorist Von Brunn Dies – Attacked U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Murdered Guard
Say hello to Hitler douchebag!
White supremacist terrorist James Von Brunn died 01/06/10 at 1 PM at a local hospital in Butner, North Carolina, AP reports from "Denise Simmons, the spokeswoman for the federal prison where von Brunn had been held." AP reported that Von Brunn received medical care at the North Carolina prison complex, which is used for aging and sick inmates. His death is being eulogized by white supremacists and Nazis who are praising him as a "martyr" and an example for others to "act White."
Von Brunn had been wounded by return fire, after he shot and killed black security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington DC on June 10, 2009. Von Brunn murdered Johns while Johns was holding the museum door open for Von Brunn. AP also reported that "Officials at the prison hospital had previously said chronic medical problems had complicated a psychiatric evaluation for the suspect, who prior to the shooting had written racist and anti-Semitic screeds on the Internet."
Wondering how long till fellow Gay Nazi Butt Fuck Incogman and his legion of zombie douchebags follow this asshat to the innermost circle of hell?
Ghey Hitler
The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is once again upon us and I thought just for shits and giggles I would dedicate this holiday that celebrates a Jewish Military Victory and a miracle to a particular ass wipe who failed in an epic way to destroy the Jewish people.
I only wish this cowardly fuck would have given the Jewish People the opportunity to hang him in Israel like they did Adolf Eichmann, but instead, Hitler chose the Ghey Wey out and ate a bullet instead this dying a cowards death.
Jimmy Carter Writes Another "Blame The Jews" Book
While Barack Hussein Obama is busy building an even bigger legacy of failure then Jimmy Carter did in the 70's, Islam's most convenient dumbass has been busy writing yet another "It's all the fault of the Jews" book.
From the Jerusalem Post:
Jimmy Carter does not apologize for the historically inaccurate and inappropriate use of the word "apartheid" to describe the security wall that has effectively prevented Hamas suicide bombers from killing and maiming Israelis in restaurants and discotheques. He does not acknowledge that it has saved countless lives.
But this should come as no surprise. As with his last book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Carter doesn't even feign a balanced approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict in We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land. He ignores the fact that a majority of Palestinians still refuse to accept the existence of the State of Israel, while insisting that peace would be achieved if Jerusalem would simply accede to the demands of the Palestinians. And because Israel refuses to unilaterally take those steps, We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land is a 180-page harangue of the Jewish state.
Part of the problem is that Carter is a man who once enjoyed prominence as a peacemaker – he presided over the 1978 Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt – but now lacks access to most of the power brokers in the Middle East. If one can somehow ignore the incessant snipes at Israel's defense policies, the book reads like a tedious and depressing political diary of an elderly man who can't quite remember where and when he misplaced his clout.
Poor, poor Jimmy. This poster child for "Fail" seems to think that people give a shit about his opinion on anything, let alone the Middle East. He handed Iran over to Islamic Terrorists on a silver platter and now he wants to surrender Israel to the Islamonazis. Up until Obama, Carter was one of the worst Presidents in American history, and with his continued Saudi funded anti Semitic tirades, he further plunges himself into the abyss of Irrelevancy.
I was a kid in 6th grade when Jimmy Carter became President in 1976. As a 12 yr old kid who's main interest was Pheasant hunting and riding my bike, I remember oh so well surrender of our Embassy in Tehran to the Islamic Terrorists and Jimmy's do nothing attitude that lost him the election in 1980 to perhaps the greatest President of the 20th century, Ronald Reagan. While the mullahs were laughing their asses off at Carter's cowardice, they were shitting their pants when Reagan took the helm and was quick to surrender the hostages back to the United States.
I remember my Grandmother always saying the Jimmy Carter was a "good man", but even then, I remembered him as a pussy. My adult memories of Jimmy will always be that of him as a Religious Bigot who never accepted responsibility for his short comings and decided instead to take the convenient road of blaming the Jews. In his old ages, he is not now, nor has he ever been an inspirational leader, he only inspires hatred not peace.

Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago
28 comments:
Ha. This is exactly the kind of review I'd love to get more from you. I agree: bearded folkies ARE that annoying (I sort of include Fleet Foxes into that, but with some reservations). I heard this album at a particular moment in my life, and it hit the nerve, and I was duly impressed. However, I gave it a more or less objective listen about a year ago, and it just sounded bland, washed-out and unbelievably whiny. There may be some pretty melodies there, but you won't know it from the presentation. Needless to say, his second album nearly killed me off with its smooth, smooth dentistry.ReplyDelete
So who would you rather be locked for one full week in a cabin with: a bearded loner with acoustic guitar, or an introspective redhead with piano?ReplyDelete

This is bullshit! Not your review, the album.ReplyDelete
I guess I can understand how some people, like Alexey here, could be hit hard by an album like thsi (or any album really) if they heard it at the right (wrong) point in their life, but how this bland crap managed to fool apparently the whole world of music-lovers is beyond me.
I wrote better poetry than the crap on this album when I was 13, and even then I was rightly embarrased by it.
I've been wondering, who exactly is it that guys like this are inspired by? Because all the classic singer-songwriters, from Bob Dylan to Nick Drake to Lou Reed to Skip Spence to Leonard Cohen to whomever, might have been just as heartbroken or lonely or whatever, but none of them even even remotely whined like this. There's no moment on "Pink Moon" that, in and of itself, could be described as aggressively pushing it's exclusively self-pitying agenda on the listener, which seems to be what this album is all about.
Is Neil Young to blame? Or maybe it's that Elliott Smith guy. But at least he was talented, and just as self-critiquing as pitying.
Don't like Christgau at all - it's like he assumes all his readers have chronic ADHD, and so shrinks his reviews down to such a small size that they're basically useless. Also, he gave every one of Nirvana's albums a higher rating than Radiohead's highest rated - his tastes are not mine, frankly.ReplyDelete
When I saw this pop up I groaned, thinking I'd have to read about yet another person grovelling at it's feet. Thank goodness you don't. My uncle gave me this album for free last year saying he just didn't get the hype. I spun it with moderate anticipation, considering I know a lot of people with otherwise respectable taste who honestly really like Bon Iver and consider this album to be an all time classic. But no, I found the songs ridiculously boring and his singing just ridiculous. It took all my might to get through just one listen. It certainly says something (and not something good) that Bon Iver sounds better auto-tuning himself on Kanye West albums than he does singing his own material.ReplyDelete
I disagree with Alexy's brief mention of Fleet Foxes above. Combining the usual folky atmosphere with *good* songwriting, lovely vocal arrangements, and lyrics that actually sound like thought was put in them, they're everything that Bon Iver isn't.
George, I wonder how long you'd make it through one of Jandek's records. Bon Iver's minimalism looks like ELP next to Jandek!ReplyDelete

Umm, aren't you a few years too late on this review?ReplyDelete
So glad you don't like this. I sort of like his song "Woods" though (from the 2008 EP), best use of autotune I've heard.ReplyDelete
Re.: bearded guys - I'd rather stick to Peter Zilberman.ReplyDelete
Re.: loners with guitar - Elliott Smith, and no options available.
Also, I can't wait for your reviews of Smith and Neutral Milk Hotel. Now that's what I call intensity.
But then, back to our goodwinterman thing... George, why so serious? :)

Ah well, each to their own I suppose.ReplyDelete
Y'see, I like this album, for all its flaws there is some emotional truth ringing around the beardy, ten thumbed guitar playing and fervent falsetto. It's more of a mood piece than anything else, and I still find it hits a nerve. At least it's an honest album, hamfisted lyrics aside.
The second album, now that's a different story - I'd pour scorn and derision on that until the bovines moo their way back to the cowshed.
By the way George, and I'm kinda facinated to know the answer, why do you own albums you dislike? I have an annual clearout of unwanted albums for the simple reasons of space and economics (gawd bless the marketplace for second hand CDs). Do you live in a warehouse?

George has captured most of what I have felt about this album myself. Seriously, with all the great amount of music that's ever been released, if you cut all the bullshit (the backstory, the year it was released, etc.) out, and just listen to the music you'll find there's no there, there and countless other artists had done this same thing way better. Certain loner albums would best be left to be listened to by their own makers... and their family at most.ReplyDelete
What's worse is devoting 40-some odd minutes of your life on listening to this when you could have spent 40-some odd minutes listening to JJ Cale's Okie.
Oh, this is sublime.ReplyDelete
I haven't heard the album, but the righteous anger in this review is glorious.
I haven't yet heard this album, but the followup is obnoxious as hell. There are a few good songs on it, but absolutely none of them can make up for the atrocity that is "Beth/Rest". I'm looking forward to your Bon Iver, Bon Iver review.ReplyDelete
- Stephen HesedMay 21, 2012 at 12:40 AM
Well, George, while I respect your views on music a lot, I have to disagree on this one. For me, the melodies on this album are gorgeous, with "The Wolves" and "Flume" standing out in particular. I also love the haunting, spare sound throughout...it just transports me to another world. While I often agree with you on music, I'm going to file Bon Iver with "Bruce Springsteen" on artists we'll have to agree to disagree over.ReplyDelete

1st Anonymous, it's a maturity thing. I'll quote Prefab Sprout here singing about Bruce Springsteen: "Some things hurt more, much more, than cars and girls." Reapproach this album after life has burnt you some more and you'll find it hilariously-naïve and teenage-sulky. This is why I can no longer listen to Morrissey.Delete
I've yet to see any review of anything Bon Iver-related that doesn't mention the Mythology behind the album, rather than the results. It's like every critic knows the myth is more interesting than the bland results, (which, coincidentally, is how I view Bruce Springsteen).
I haven't heard full albums of this band but I certainly didn't like what I did hear. I am not going to comment on their merits or otherwise but I want to say that with near zero expectations, I still felt let down. This....this is all they've got?ReplyDelete

Fleet Foxes are solid, though - glad to see that Byrds influence still ringing true in today's music.

The Theoretical Minimum by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky
The Theoretical Minimum is a book for anyone who has ever regretted not taking physics in college—or who simply wants to know how to think like a physicist. In this unconventional introduction, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Unlike most popular physics books—which give readers a taste of what physicists know but shy away from equations or math—Susskind and Hrabovsky actually teach the skills you need to do physics, beginning with classical mechanics, yourself. Based on Susskind's enormously popular Stanford University-based (and Youtube-featured) continuing-education course, the authors cover the minimum—the theoretical minimum of the title—that readers need to master to study more advanced topics.
An alternative to the conventional go-to-college method, The Theoretical Minimum provides a toolkit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.

Osteoarthritis, the most typical persistent joint disease, makes up about 1 / 2 of all cases. Discomfort can happen, however is generally thought to be the non-inflammatory kind of joint disease — referred to as degenerative osteo-arthritis or even "wear-and-tear arthritis".
Osteoarthritis is at their own peak within the aged which is probably associated with the normal process of getting older (although it's viewed every so often within younger people and some types have a very genetic foundation). For-Knees – The normal symptoms tend to be heavy unpleasant discomfort close to the actual joint(s) included, tightness subsequent relaxation, joint swelling as well as pain, the actual grating appear once the combined is actually relocated, and in later stages bone tissue male organ deformation. The pain sensation is generally usual to movement of the joint as well as happy via rest. Knee brace review – The pain sensation happens inside the combined capsule, ligaments, muscles, muscle tissue in addition to bone fragments all around the broken cartilage. Because the illness progresses, the uncovered navicular bone thickens and forms bony spur that enlarge the actual bone finishes. The spur encroach around the joint space and may restrict combined motion. Individuals complain related to tightness upon developing which reduces together with exercise.
For-Knees – The particular affected important joints might make the actual crushing noise as they transfer.
This particular appear, known as crepitus, results because the roughened particular surfaces stroke together. The actual joint parts generally influenced are the ones in the fingertips, the bottom of the thumb, the big foot, the actual cervical as well as back backbone, and enormous weight-bearing joints in the decrease hands or legs (legs as well as sides). Present concept holds that normal combined utilize encourages the discharge of digestive enzymes that break up cartilage. For-Knees – Inside healthy people, this broken normal cartilage is actually altered. In individuals much more is actually destroyed compared to change. Even though it is specific trigger is actually unfamiliar, the might mirror the group effects of many years of compression in addition to scratching behaving from combined surfaces (coupled with excessive quantity of a actual cartilage-destroying enzymes) which eventually result in the once smooth particular cartilages in order to dissolve, roughen, fray, as well as deteriorate — resulting in rubbing. The actual tendons, suspensory ligaments, as well as muscle tissue keeping the actual combined together turn out to be weakened, and also the mixed itself gets unpleasant as well as stiff. There's generally a few pain, but little or no inflammation.

In the beginning of 2010 I reported on the case of Patricia Moore-King (aka "Psychic Sophie"), a psychic practitioner/spiritual counselor who challenged Chesterfield County's onerous zoning regulations designed to discourage tarot readers, psychics, astrologers, and other practitioners of "occult sciences" from opening up a shop. King maintains that she wasn't a "fortune teller" but engaged in a form of religious counseling, and therefore the regulations didn't apply to her.
The County of Chesterfield's laws classify Ms. King's activities as "the occupation of occult sciences" and therefore defines her as a "fortune-teller" (she does not identify herself as such), which subjects her to numerous restrictions including a background investigation, a criminal record check, review by the chief of police and other requirements related to her "character" and "demeanor" that are not required of any other religious or commercial enterprise within the County. These restrictions also do not apply to other religious or secular counselors, or even to persons "pretending to act" as fortune-tellers.
The County's zoning code also restricts Ms. King's activities to a zoning district that includes adult businesses, pawnbrokers, material reclamation yards, and vehicle impoundment lots, and forbids her from the zoning district where her current office is located and where other counselors are permitted. Ms. King is further subject to an additional occupation tax not required of other counselors. The Complaint states that "the negative treatment of 'fortune-tellers' is motivated by official hostility to individuals based on the viewpoint and content of their speech, and their spiritual beliefs."
In July of 2010 U.S. District Judge Robert E. Payne threw the case back to the local level, saying King failed to press for a final resolution before heading to court. Now Religion Clause reports that a Federal District Court has upheld Chesterfield's regulations, and rejected claims that she was engaged in religious practices.
In Moore-King v. County of Chesterfield Virginia, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 112205 (ED VA, Sept. 30, 2011), a Virginia federal district court rejected constitutional challenges to Chesterfield County, Virginia's regulation of the business of fortune telling. Patricia Moore-King, a "spiritual counselor" who operated under the name of "Psychic Sophie" claimed that the county's zoning, business license tax and fortune teller permit ordinances violate her free exercise of religion, free speech and equal protection rights. The court held that plaintiff's predictions and counseling services are inherently deceptive commercial speech, and that the regulation of them is reasonably drawn. The court rejected plaintiff's free exercise and RLUIPA claims, finding that she is not engaged in religious practices. It also rejected her equal protection claims.
I don't have access to the full decision, but these seem like very bold rulings that swim against the prevailing trend in cases regarding psychic services. In 2010 the Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that fortune telling and related services are protected speech, and 2008 a federal judge tossed out a fortune telling ban in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. No doubt the judge felt he had more judicial leeway since this wasn't a total ban, but how did he determine that King's services are "inherently deceptive"? That she isn't engaged in a religious practice?
In 2010 both Time Magazine and the BBC looked at a growing trend of stricter regulations against psychics being enforced by local governments. The creation of these subcultural "red light districts" are often harder to challenge than a total ban, though they often have the same effect. In my interview with author and renowned tarot expert Mary K. Greer, she spoke about her business (reading cards) should be treated like any other business, and not singled out for punitive regulations.
"No. I don't believe in specific laws and regulations for fortune tellers that go beyond the standard business laws of any community. It has been found that laws prohibiting fraud cover most cases of abuse perfectly adequately and far better than regulations that discriminate unfairly against this particular profession, especially when they assume criminal behavior where none has been shown by the individual. It has been proved over and over again that discriminatory regulations are created by special interest groups and that they are unfair and almost always unconstitutional.
I've always been proud of being part of what I call an "outlaw profession," partly because it operates outside of the laws, understanding and expectations of regulated society and crosses over the boundaries that tend to distinguish professions, being in-part, entertainment, spiritual guidance, noetic and folk therapeutics, and more. By definition, I provide a service that is not covered adequately by the more traditional and accepted professions. Clients are looking for something extra-ordinary and they get something extra-ordinary. I have the freedom to self-design and describe what I do—which also brings with it the responsibility to explain this as clearly as possible to my clients. I am also responsible to establish my own ethical guidelines and to know and operate my business within the laws and regulations of any area in which I work. While the public is taking a chance on what they are getting, "chance" is, by definition (fate-fortune-chance), part of what they are seeking. However, most of what I've said in this paragraph has no bearing on the legal issue, which is a matter of free-speech, occasionally freedom of religion, and is a business service that should be treated like other businesses. If fees and fingerprinting are standard for all businesses then fortune telling should be included."
I have to say that I find it hard to not draw a line between these regulation and that fact that this is the same Chesterfield County that invented the so-called "Wiccan-proof" invocation model. In any event, I can't imagine this ruling remaining unchallenged (especially if some courts see fortune telling as protected speech), though I suppose that will depend on King's law firm. In the meantime, at least in Chesterfield County, divination isn't considered a religious practice, and their zoning regulations stand.

This easy hummus recipe, which packs in a cup of fresh carrots, takes it up a notch by tucking a veggie inside—but it has a smooth texture that your toddler will (hopefully!) enjoy.
Homemade Hummus Recipe
Hummus is one of those perfect baby and toddler foods—it's soft, versatile, and lasts for a while in the fridge. It's an excellent source of vegetarian protein and can be mixed up in just a few minutes.
Is safe for babies and toddlers to eat hummus?
While there is a small chance that a toddler may have an allergic reaction to the chickpeas or tahini (which is made from sesame seeds) in hummus, the vast majority of toddlers can safely enjoy the spread. I know one family who's son had a very serious reaction to sesame when he was a baby, which was thankfully treated swiftly. It was definitely a scary experience, but thankfully he's started to outgrow the allergy now.
If you're concerned about allergies to the ingredients in hummus or you know that your toddler has other food allergies, you can start by having the ingredients around your toddler, trying a very small, teensy amount, or making this hummus with white beans and Greek yogurt instead of the chickpeas and tahini. See the variations at the bottom of the recipe for details and talk it over with your pediatrician before starting.
Is hummus good for toddlers?
Hummus is a totally healthy food for toddlers! It has vegetarian protein from the beans and tahini, has a lot of fiber to help heart-health and to prevent constipation, and is a good vegan option. This easy hummus recipe has added Vitamin A from the carrots, as well as extra fiber. And a nice mellow flavor since the carrots balance the flavor of tahini and lemon.
Can you make hummus ahead?
This easy hummus recipe for toddlers can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in the fridge. We like it for lunch on toast or bread or as a dip for whole grain crackers or veggies. It's also a nice spread for a turkey sandwich and you can thin it with lemon juice to make a salad dressing for an older kiddo or an adult.
Which beans are best for hummus?
You can use dried beans that you've cooked or canned beans for this easy hummus recipe. As long as you cook dried beans thoroughly, there isn't much difference in the texture. Canned beans are of course more convenient if you decide to make hummus without much advance planning!
The carrots in this recipe blend in really well with the color of the chickpeas, making this both familiar looking and more nutritious. Plus, they add a slightly sweet flavor that kids typically love. (Need some ideas to round out the meal? Check out my favorite 25 Healthy Toddler Snacks.)Print
Easy Hummus Recipe with Carrots
- Prep Time: 10
- Total Time: 10
- Yield: about 2.5 cups 1x
- Category: Dip
- Method: Blend
- Cuisine: Middle Easter
Taste the hummus and adjust for salt as needed. You may need more depending on whether or not you started with canned beans, and sometimes after the hummus sits in the fridge, it needs another sprinkle of salt. I don't include garlic here because it has a strong flavor that your toddler may not enjoy, but add in a clove if you'd like.
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 14.5 ounce can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoons tahini (or plain Greek yogurt if there's a nut-allergy)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4–1/3 cup water
- Add the carrot to a bowl. Bring a pot or kettle of water to a boil, pour over carrot, and let sit for about 5 minutes to soften. Drain well, reserving about 1/4 cup of the liquid.
- Add all ingredients except the water to the bowl of a food processor. Process, adding a little reserved water a time to help create a smooth consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Serve immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Use white beans instead of chickpeas. You may not need as much water since white beans tend to be moister.
Use plain Greek yogurt instead of tahini.
Add 1 clove garlic to the blender to add another flavor.

The Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder
Contouring is a step I rarely skip on my makeup routine unless I am going for a more bronzed, glowing makeup. Adding that extra definition to my face is essential and so finding the perfect product for that special day (my wedding day) was key and wasn't an easy task. I have always been a fan of drugstore products and I do believe that you can find some amazing dupes for much less but there are things or occasions where I am all up for spending a bit of extra money knowing that I will have an amazing product that…View Post

Creighton Prep offers dual enrollment opportunities to students who would like earn college credit through three area universities: Creighton University, Nebraska Wesleyan University and the University of Nebraska Omaha.
These courses are Honors, AP or standard level and in a range of subjects such as art, biology, calculus, English composition, music and physics. Students considering Honors or AP dual enrollment courses may benefit from reading through our Honors and AP Information page.
If you would like further information on Prep's dual enrollment program, see the list of Prep courses and the corresponding university courses below or contact Mr. Joe Ryberg.
Creighton University's Creighton College of Arts and Sciences offers selected courses from its curriculum at cooperating area high schools. These courses are identical in all significant respects to the courses offered to their regular undergraduate students.
Students who complete one of these courses are issued a Creighton University transcript listing the course and course grade. A notation on the transcript makes it clear that the course was taken at a cooperating high school. If students subsequently matriculate at Creighton University, the course will be applicable to their degree requirements. Students may also submit the course to other colleges or universities for transfer.
The cost is $110/semester.
The cost is $88/credit hour. Nebraska Wesleyan will pay for half of the cost of students choosing to take an AP Exam, when applicable. The Dual Enrollment Director at Nebraska Wesleyan is Marian Borgmann Ingwersen (402-465-2415).
The University of Nebraska Omaha's Dual Enrollment Program offers opportunities for high school students with GPAs of 3.0 or better to earn college credit by taking Advanced Placement courses. Some of our students now have two options for earning credit. Some will have a new opportunity.
With UNO's program, students may dual enroll in English, math, psychology, U.S. history, physics and statistics courses as long as they are taking the AP course at Prep. For $250 per course, the student will receive credit for a UNO course as well as have his AP test paid for. With some of UNO's courses, if the student gets a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP test, he is then given credit for additional coursework at UNO. He may use his UNO credits if he attends UNO or transfer the credits to another school. UNO indicates that their transferability percentage is 92 percent.
The cost is $250/course. The fee includes the cost of taking the AP Exam, if applicable. The Dual Enrollment Director at UNO is Kelly Malone (402-554-3810).

As we have communicated in our latest postcard to physician-owned surgery centers, it seems even more likely that the Bush-era tax cuts will be allowed to expire (except perhaps for households earning less than $250,000)

Maintaining your professional image in the face of soaring temperatures is difficult in suits that are heavier than a drought-resistant sheep. Combine that with shirts that turn your upper body into a steam room and it's bound to be a hot, wet summer.
With some simple steps you can summer proof your suit wardrobe and spend your day thinking about business instead of pit stains.
Put heavy tweeds, cashmere and wool suits into storage and steer your summer selections towards linens, cottons (including cotton-linen mixes) and for the sartorially courageous seersucker.
Superfine merino from labels like Zegna and M.J. Bale are actually perfect for Aussie summers - the fibres are highly breathable, naturally deodorising and help circulate heat away from the body.
Seersucker goes that extra step with its puckered texture stopping your jacket and trousers from clinging uncomfortably to your body when the mercury rises above 30 degrees.
Lining by halves
Just as you wouldn't judge a book by its cover (except for 50 Shades of Grey, truly awful) don't let a summer-looking suit in pale grey or powder blue persuade you to make a purchase without turning it inside out.
While the exterior may be from a summer-weight fabric, it could be fully-lined in non-breathable, insulating material.
Look for suits with half-lining where the jacket is lined across the upper half of the back and down the sides, leaving the lower part unlined.
Unlined jackets are also an option, especially with linen and seersucker options.
Without the structure of lining and weighty padding, be prepared to do the hard yards in the change rooms to find the most flattering fit or turn to a trusty tailor for support.
Show some ankle
There's no need to follow the lead of US designer Thom Browne and take your trousers mid-calf, although it's not a look I hate. But just adding an extra turn up to your trousers in the warmer months can help you keep your cool.
This works best with tapered trousers – try it with a wide-leg pair and people will think that you're wearing your mother's culottes.
Try Swedish label COS for looser fitting trousers that are already cropped to the perfect length.
Go wide
Tailored skinny trousers remain a favourite for men maintaining a committed relationship with the squat machine at the gym but sausage-casing suits are sweat traps.
Look for trousers that are relaxed around the thigh and gently taper towards the ankle. You will still achieve a flattering silhouette without looking like a sweaty fashion throwback.
Colour your world
While you can stick to the navy standard of your imagination has taken an early holiday, there are plenty more colours that can withstand the summer sun and are suited to linens and cottons.
Khakis, sands and bones are summer staples, working beautifully with white or blue shirts. They score extra points for versatility with jackets pairing well with jeans for after work drinks and by now you definitely know how to wear khaki pants.
Pale blues and lights greys can also withstand the pressure of the boardroom and a sunny commute to the office.

"More than half of the planet's people now live in urban areas," says David Suzuki and Faisal Moola in the Opinion section of the Toronto Star, May 22, "…[in some cities], growth in the city was confined to existing built-up areas, thereby preventing development from spilling out to farmer's field." This trend is very obvious in Toronto's downtown core.
Condos in the core, is in fact, saving some of Ontario's farmland and natural habitat. This concern of urban sprawl has been an on-going issue for decades (its term first used in the 1950s) and building up is the way to prevent it. Most importantly it prevents development in green spaces and to farmer's fields (areas that feed cities).
What has made us more conscientious of the environment? Below are some factors:
In 2005, the Province of Ontario established the Places to Grow Act to decrease urban sprawl, utilizing existing infrastructure and preserving natural resources and agricultural resources.
In 2006, the province passed another law called the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe to encourage towns and cities to grow upwards rather than outwards. Ontario has 728,000 hectares of protected farmland and green space.
Rising gas prices have significantly affected consumer's use of the automobile. Moving to Toronto's downtown core make walking, transit, and bicycling more practical than suburban life which requires hundreds of dollars of car fuel.
Number of buyers now prefers to stay closer to their work in the urban core. This is a direct result of their experience with travel from the suburbs to downtown Toronto. Others don't own a car simply because it harms the environment: diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles produced 1,511 million metric tons of CO2 in 2012.
As more buildings are becoming LEED certified, more stores carry organic food than those in the suburbs, farmers markets are popping up everywhere in the core, and green roofs are encouraged, there's no better reason than to enjoy urban life and be green!
These contributing factors protect farmland, and give new life to southern Ontario's agricultural industry. Protecting our agriculture and natural environment is just one way to make our society economically efficient and environmentally sustainable.
