On Dec. 15, 2007, I posted, DETRIMENTAL RELIANCE AS TACTIC TARGETING RANCHERS, on the blog. The post was about an article I stumbled upon in my research on wolves. A fellow named Gene Ladd had authored a book titled: AMBER WAVES OF GAIN. I found Mr. Ladd and his book at http://www.familyfarmer.org/awg13.pdf.
In this book, Mr. Ladd describes an incident he alleges occurred in 1999, in Santa Fe.
According to Mr. Ladd, the Minutemen placed a pipe bomb in the mailbox of the Forest Guardians and blew out the window of another environmental group with a shotgun.
I contacted the Santa Fe Police Department with Mr. Ladd's story. A high ranking official of the Santa Fe PD, with 20 years service on the department said he didn't recall such an incident. He surely would have remembered a pipe bomb placed in the controversial green organization's mailbox.
Mr. Ladd went on to portray the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau as a militant organization intent on fueling anti-environmental hatred among ranchers. Mr. Ladd describes a training manual from the New Mexico Department of Public Safety that describes the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau as dangerous and capable of potential terrorist activities. Mr. Ladd goes on to claim the Farm Bureau pressured the New Mexico Department of Public Safety to withdraw the manual; which according to Mr. Ladd, the DPS did.
I sent Mr. Ladd's allegations to the DPS headquarters in Santa Fe. Today I received a letter from the assistant director refuting Mr. Ladd's claims and saying the incident never happened. The assistant director also said no such manual depicting the Farm Bureau as a terrorist organization was never printed.
I searched the FBI eco-terrorism records and found no such pipe bomb incident in Santa Fe in 1999.
Around the time all this was happening an individual who started a forest fire was arrested in Santa Fe county.
Mr. Ladd assigns the pipe bomb incident to this individual and places him as a member of the Minutemen. I asked Janet White, co-administrator of this blog and Minutemen member if she knew of this incident or the name I gave her. She did not. She gave the information to Bob Wright, Minutemen head honcho for New Mexico. He has the original roles of who signed up in the early days of the organization. Bob said the Minutemen did not exist in 1999 and the name of the guy Mr. Ladd says was a member is not on any of the roles. The guy arrested for the forest fire and Mr. Ladd's terrorist was never a Minutemen member.
I can only opine that Mr. Ladd is a liar and a passionate if irresponsible green advocate who seeks to advance the green agenda at any cost. I think his book is either out of print, didn't sell, or has been pulled from shelves. I couldn't order it from Amazon, ebay or Half.com. The 'farm' website above still sells the hack job, but I declined to place an order. The night I stumbled upon the book was the night of my all night poker game and I needed my jar full of quarters and dimes. Sorry Gene, I won't support a liar and a hack.

When I was reading the latest segment in The Courage To Create by Rollo May, I came upon a bit about technology and creativity. "Poets are menaces on the assembly line." This brought me to think about the booming technological advances in the field of writing. We have advanced so far and I wonder what will be next. With the explosion of the ereaders and that they're coming down slowly in price are more people reading? I do know that more people are writing. Some of these writers are very creative people and some follow along in the same old same old mold. Sometimes I feel as though I belong in both categories. What about you?
Has the advent of new technology made you more creative or less? I read a great deal and sometimes I read for contests where the books are already published. What I've found is that about half of these books are creative and stir my imagination and the other half bore me. But it's been that way with my reading for years.
How does one deal with remaining creative when anything a person can write can be published and sold? Some days it means stepping back and writing what you want to express rather than what sells and is so much like everything else that sells. To remain creative in this booming technological society means taking the time to listen to the inner voice that whispers in your ear.

S&P futures were fractionally higher (+0.1% to 2,476) with all eyes on the Fed's rate decision as investors await another earnings deluge from companies including Facebook, Coca-Cola and Boeing.

After an exuberant day in Argentine bond and stock markets, we are nearing a decision. With a handful of hours left until it's all over, various 'deal's have been proposed today from Argentine bankers as a last-minute rescue package. S&P has already decided that it's a done deal:
World stocks rose to a 4th consecutive record highs, while the dollar headed for its worst week; U.S. stock-index futures are steady, with European and Asian stocks higher ahead of much anticipated US inflation data, which is expected to give cues on the outlook for the Federal Reserve's interest rates. MSCI's all world equity index was up 0.1% after hitting record highs on Thursday. Earlier in Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan hit a 10-year high, up 0.3 percent on the day.

The Curious Case of Nick Young
[Editor's Note: Rashad Mobley has reported on the Wizards with media credentials since the 2008-09 season for Hoops Addict. He will be contributing to Truth About It.net on an occasional basis, providing excellent analysis and a different perspective from his up-close coverage of the team.]
The Washington Wizards were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs last night, 106-84, and the topics of discussion after the game were endless. There was the topic of Mike Miller, and the warrior mentality he displayed prior to injuring his calf; you could discuss the fact that the Wizards were only able to muster 12 assists in 48 minutes; or you could even discuss the continuing struggle of former All-Star Caron Butler, who only scored eight points in 32 minutes of play. But to me, the biggest subplot that came out of this bad loss, happened prior to the game, and this information came to my attention via Twitter, courtesy of Washington Post beat writer, Michael Lee.
"Flip said he plans to use Fab Oberto vs. Tim Duncan tonight, which means Nick Young will be inactive…"
My first reaction about reading those words was to say to no one in particular, "What?!" My second reaction was to retweet (the traditional way, not the new way Twitter is forcing down my throat). And, of course, my third reaction was to write.
In case you've forgotten, Nick Young is coming off a season that saw him appear in all 82 games and average 10.9 points a game. When the Wizards roster was depleted with injuries, Young received a generous amount of playing time, and he delivered in a large way. There was one stretch in mid-January that saw him score 30 in consecutive outings, and it certainly seemed like Young would be part of the Wizards plans once everyone got healthy.
During the off-season, Flip Saunders was brought into the mix, and he mentioned that he wanted Young to play the Rip Hamilton role in the Wizards offense, and that's a challenge Young relished. He shot 500 jumpers a day during the off-season, he averaged 23 points during summer league, and it seemed like he was well on his way to earning a spot in the Flip's rotation.
During media day, an inspired Young looked me dead in the face and said, "This is my third year; I'm ready to start."
But once the regular season started, the confidence that came from all the hard work Young put in last season and over the summer vanished as quickly as Paul Davis. Of the 11 games the Wizards played before last night's match against the Spurs, Young had only played in five of them, and in those games, his numbers were as follows: 4-of-20 shooting, 12 points scored total, a two points per game average and 44 minutes played.
When Mike Miller was out with a shoulder, Flip Saunders inserted Young in the lineup against the Indiana Pacers, and it looked he was get a chance to prove to himself, his coach and his team that an increase in minutes was warranted. Less than a minute into the game, Young hit a three point jumper, and a slight sly smile crept across his face. Then, just eight seconds later, Young blocked a layup by TJ Ford, and it appeared as if Young was well on his way to a big game.
After that block, Young missed three open shots, picked up three fouls, and lost his confidence completely. He was so out of sync, that Flip started Randy Foye in his place during the second half. Young was only able to re-enter the game during garbage time when the Wizards were down by 20 points. He finished with three points in 15 minutes of play.
Young went from a start in Indiana, to lessened playing time, to getting DNPs in full uniform, to being told last night he would be inactive.
To add insult to (the lack of) injury, here are the players who are getting playing time in front of Nick Young: 1) Earl Boykins, who wasn't in the NBA last year, or on opening day this year, but stepped in and scored 20 points in his debut, and has averaged 12 points in just four games; 2) Mike Miller, who prior to injuring his calf against the Spurs, was nursing a severely sprained shoulder, that clearly hindered his performance on the court; 3) Randy Foye, who is still struggling to get back to full speed after his spraining his ankle a week and a half ago.
Now the Wizards are 3-9. Mike Miller looks like he's going to be out for an extended period of time with an injured calf, and Young may once again be called upon to help out the Wizards in some way shape or form.
To quote the Gatorade commercials that seemingly come on my television every five minutes, "Is it in you, Nick?"

Results from Adjustable Molds
2 comments:
Beautiful work! I took a wheel pottery class.ReplyDelete
Wow - nothing like on Ghost with Demi Moore. It was extremely difficult. But I do love handmade bowls. You do gorgeous work...Sharon
Thank you so much for your comment. You needed more than ONE class to feel comfortable on the wheel! It takes several and also a wheel at home to practice on. And the smashed-up clay is always reusable! I love hand building too because what you make is almost a finished piece. Add a handle or roll in a few leaves and you are almost done. These adjustable molds are great! I can't wait to make more.ReplyDelete
Interesting that you commented on the movie Ghost. I was going to see if it was available on Netflix!
I looked at your Etsy site. Your cards and frames are great! I still have stamps and embossing powders and once in a while make someone a special card.
Keep in touch!
Best regards,

Both Casa Fiora and Easy Reserve were absolutely excellent and we would highly recommend both.
Firstly, Easy Reserve is easy to do because you can pay online with a credit card. We have used other companies in the past where we had to do a bank transfer, which is messy and time consuming. This was done in 2 minutes from my desk. Wonderful service. Then it was followed up by personal emails from Lucy and Lucia, who were both incredibly helpful. Excellent service and I would definitely use them again.
Casa Fiora is magnificent!! It exceeds the photos on the website. It is beautifully decorated with high quality antiques and an attention to detail. It didn't feel like a rental at all. The owner obviously loves it and pays so much attention to all of the little details in the decorating and gardening. It felt like someone's much loved and cared-for home. It was well-kitted out and had everything we could wish for. The pool is wonderful! I had worried about it being unheated, as many are in Tuscany it seems, but I needn't have worried - it was the perfect temperature as the hot Italian weather heats it. If you were heating it, you would have set it to exactly that temperature. It was perfect! It is lightly salted, which is much, much nicer than chlorine. We were over the moon with it and everything in the house. There are 3 beds and 3 bathrooms, 2 of which have showers and the other has a bathtub with handheld shower. More than enough for the number of rooms. They are not in the bedrooms as ensuites, which means everyone can share them, which is very nice. The kitchen is amply supplied too.
The location is absolutely perfect! It is 20 minutes to Lucca, about 35 to Pisa, less than an hour to Florence and an hour to Viareggio and Cinque Terre. It is up a winding road into the mountains, so you have a gorgeous view of the hills and you can see right down to Lucca. The pool has the most wonderful view of Lucca in the distance.
Nicoletta comes in to clean the house 3 times (mon/wed/fri). She is lovely!!! She will help if you need anything, and she even gives you a little local mobile phone in case you want to ring her. There is wifi there too.
One interesting thing. The notes said we needed to give the a 750 Euro deposit in cash upon arrival. Nicoletta was surprised at this and said we didn't need to. I'm not sure who is right, but hopefully she is right as it was annoying carrying around the cash during our pre-villa holidays.
We had no complaints at all about anything and would highly recommend it. The villa was perfect for us. We hope you enjoy it too!
This is a stunning place. Extraordinary views, amazing wildlife (the garden was FULL of fireflies), beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It takes a bit of finding - the road up the mountain is steep and wiggly - but the view across the valley is worth it. The housekeeper, Nicoletta, is great. We were greeted by vases of fresh flowers and bunches of herbs and she made us feel welcome and looked after. The pool is saline filtered, so no nasty chemicals and the garden is very pretty. Beds are comfy and amenities all work well. Highly recommended.
*Plus compulsory or optional charges based on actual occupancy or consumption. The payment has to be made in the currency offered by the property manager, before use of conversion tool. Payments in other currencies have to be negotiated beforehand with the property manager. The currency conversion tool is provided for your convenience only and is non-binding.

I recently came to Jeanette's to have a ""beach wave"" perm. The shop was clean and small in a homey, comfy way. My perm turned out great and was much less expensive than anywhere else. The staff is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. If you are looking for an inexpensive, trustworthy place then this is the salon for you.
I have been going to Jeanette's since I moved to the area 5 years ago. It's located in a handy place diagonally across from Knollwood. I like the location because I can incorporate any trips to the Library or Post Office with a hair appointment. I have always found the beauticians to be friendly, especially the woman who cuts my hair. She has a warm way with people and takes care of them in a sort of big sisterly kind of way. She's always attentive to my needs and even remembers things about me from one visit to the next! She has a knack for multi-talsking and not making you, the...

The Artists and the Artworks
Apart from Joan Miró, many other artists imbibed four-dimensional approach in their work. Noteworthy among them was Spanish painter Salvador Dali (1904-89) whose painting 'In Search of the Fourth Dimension' (1979) was a perfect embodiment of four-dimensional painting. Here, Dali depicted 'tired' time and consequently the clocks in his painting were shown melting and curved, illustrating a fourth dimension. Dali's interest in the enigma and occult made him excel in the field of four-dimensional work. One of the contemporary artists in the field is American artist Tony Robbin (1943). He learnt programming and the technique of visualizing in 4D, which helped him create paintings and sculptures with images and colors superimposed in a four dimensional space.
The ingenious style of four-dimensional painting is indeed revolutionary, as it depicts the mystery and the enigma of a four-dimensional reality in a fuller way.

Book Review – Cricket's Greatest Scandals
by Ken Piesse
This was a very interesting book, and one that would be loved by anyone who follows sports, and a lot of the stories will also fascinate those who don't follow cricket. Unless you have been in space the last 100 years, names such as Don Bradman, , Hansie Cronje, Dennis Lillie, Ian Botham, Mikle Gatting, and Shane Warne will be instantly recognisable, and each of these, plus more all appear in their own chapter on being 'bad boys'. And just for good measure, there is a chapter denoted to Stephen Fleming, Dion Nash and Matt Hart from NZ for the 'popt smoking' incident. But more than the people themselves, there are the incidents; Bodyline, The Underarm, World Series Cricket, and match fixing. Even for those, like me who consider themselves pretty knowledgeable on the sport, this book will open some new revelations for you.
It is sectioned into a "First XI" and "Second XI", the assumption the top-tier is more scandalous than the following, however I couldn't help but feel that some of the stories in the second half were most befitting of being promoted up the order. And for good measure, there are a couple of appendices; the first a "Timeline of Trouble" and then "Big Bets" which chronicles betting in cricket and match fixes.
This is well written by a sports journalist, although I was wary after the first couple of chapters believing he may have been very-pro Aussie, but it very much levels out and shows the unbiased reporting that should be present amongst scribes. Good photos that bring back memories such as Lillie vs. Miandad, Walsh vs. Waugh, and Michael Holding kicking down the stumps (everyone remember that series?).

Well, the workshop at Paper Source has made me invitation crazy! It was a great class! We were able to assemble four different invitations and learn techniques like heat embossing (everyone's fave), stamping, how to use an exacto knife, and how to use eyelets. It made the idea of diy invites much more enticing, especially since plain cardstock is so cheap! I mean, four is much, much less than 100, don't get me wrong. But as some of my lovely friends have already offered to help, I think this could really work!
So now I'm obsessed. I don't know exactly what style I want, so I'm going to rely on one of my editor friends to help with that. But I really want to do the heat embossing! So now I'm scouring Etsy for rubber stamps. Here are some of my faves:

Faith in Action
Friday's have been action days around here. I found it tough to come up with an action -- pray more, go to church? None of that seemed like something that I could incite action on. Instead, I am going to post a few items of action that have special meaning and are tied to faith in my heart. If you would like to take those actions? Great. If not, feel free to post a "faith action" in the comments or on your blog. Get our minds thinking!
The San Diego Blanket Project. This project might be right up the alley of many of you crafty people. This group is collecting 8 inch squares of fabric to be made into quilts for many of those still suffering from the California wildfired. Check out the link, to me, faith includes being there for people in need, people in danger. (Thanks Sean for the link and idea).
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. For those of you who know me in real life, you probably now that this is one of my biggest personal issues. I am furious with our treatment of veterans and soldiers. These brave men and women (and their families) sacrifice so significantly for all of us. Do not forget them. My prayer for them:
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need... Amen.'
If these two acts of faith don't trip your trigger - blog about what does.

Love both of those ideas Angie!

These are both great ideas, Ang, but since I have the holidays on the brain I always think of the hungry this time of year and will be making lots of extra stops at our food banks.
I believe that pulling people out of poverty and hunger are cornerstones not just of my faith, but our country.
Loved this week, was disappointed to see a drop in posters, but I loved pushing myself. Thanks so much girls, you did a great job!!

I figure the drops in posters is my fault. No one likes it when a boy shows up. Don't worry Ladies - this will be my last week participating in the alter ego stuff.

Reminders Showing Twice in Outlook + Solutions
Yesterday a friend of mine called for assistance regarding an unusual problem he had with Outlook Reminders. For some reason Outlook (he was using Outlook 2010) showed each of outlook calendar reminders twice. He had put up with this for sometime until it got really frustrating. Here's how I fixed the issue.
Research on the web showed two solutions. I tried both and the second one worked.
Option 1: Use the cleanreminders switch when starting Outlook
This one did not work for him but it may be the solution that works for you.
- Quit Outlook
- Click Start > Run
- Type Outlook.exe /cleanreminders (don't forget the space after the exe) and press Enter
Option 2: Check your Outlook data files to see if any file is listed twice
Here's what did work for him (I recommend you do the cleanreminders first anyway)
I checked his Outlook data files and found that his main Outlook PST was listed twice. I removed one and everything was back to the way it should be.
To check your Outlook data files:
- Quit Outlook
- Go to your Control Panel and double click Mail.
- Select the Data File tab
- IF AND ONLY IF you see the same data file listed twice, select the second one and click Remove.
- Restart Outlook.
Did any of these two methods work for you. Do you have a different solution.
Please leave a comment on the blog.
Download the Rugby World Cup 2011 Game Timetable into Outlook
The Rugby World Cup 2011 is going to start in less than two weeks (9th September). Here's what you need to do in Outlook to ensure that you don't miss a single game of your favourite team.
Follow these steps to download the times for all the games into your Outlook Calendar.
1. Make sure that your computer is setup to the correct time zone. This step is important to ensure that the game time gets shown at the correct time depending on where in the world you are. Go to the Windows Control Panel and open Date and Time.
(Your screen may be slightly different depending on the version of Windows… it may have a separate tab for Time Zone).
Make sure that the correct Time Zone is displayed i.e. the time zone of where YOU are. (I am in Fiji so the screen shot above says Fiji). Click on Change time zone if you need to.
2. Click on the link below and save the .ics file to your desktop
Download Rugby World Cup 2011 Schedule
(Fixtures are from the Rugby World Cup 2011 Official website)
3. Import the downloaded file into your Outlook by using the following steps. If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2010, click File – Open – Import. For all other versions of Outlook, click File – Import & Export.
4. Select Import an iCalendar (ics) or vCalendar file (vcs) from the list and click Next.
5. Use the screen that comes up to select the ics file that was downloaded in Step 2.
(You may get the following extra steps depending on the version of Outlook you are using)
6. Click either Open as New or Import. (I simply imported it to my main Outlook Calendar as it then synched with my Iphone too)
The times for all the games will now be in your Outlook.
Enjoy the games and may the best team win.
Personally I am predicting an All Blacks win… it's about time that the trophy went back to New Zealand… I was a student there in 1987 and still remember them winning the very first world cup final. It has been a long wait for the kiwis… but this is their year.
How to organize Appointments and Tasks in Outlook by Project
Many of us use Outlook's appointments and tasks to manage our daily lives and projects… and yet Outlook does not give us an easy way to manage projects inside Outlook. Outlook users frequently ask us how they can see all appointments and tasks that make up a project in one place.
Why is this important? As we finish a step, it is important to know what the next steps are to get the project completed. Things also don't always go according to plan… and we need to see what else gets affected when things change.
Our research showed that there is no simple way to organize and view tasks and appointments under projects… so we added this functionality to our Outlook Project Management addin Smart Schedules for Outlook.
With Smart Schedules for Outlook you can:
- Assign existing (or new) tasks and appointments to projects
- Quickly see all tasks and appointments for a project at the click of a button.
Here are step by step instructions showing you just how easy this can be:
Assign existing (or new) tasks and appointments to projects
- Open Outlook and go to the Calendar/Task folder that the existing appointment/task is located in
- Select the appointment/task
- Click on Assign Project button on the Smart Schedules toolbar/ribbon. This will display the following screen:
- Select an existing project from the Project list.
Note: You can also type in a new project name if you would like to create a new project and add this selected appointment/task to that project.
- Click OK.
Quickly see all tasks and appointments for a project at the click of a button.
Smart Schedules Project Centre makes it easy to see all appointments and tasks that you have associated with a project.
- On the Smart Schedules toolbar, click Project Centre
- From the Project drop-down, select the Project to which you assigned the appointment or task
- You will now be able to view the appointment or task assigned to the project and all other related appointments and tasks for the project as shown below:

Are Outlook Appointments and Tasks too DUMB for use in real business?
You may have noticed that I dedicate a lot of time to getting the most out of Outlook for my (and hopefully your) business – just look at the emails and blog articles I send you.
So I was abit surprised (confused?) during lunch when two of my friends (a lawyer and a real estate agent) commented that they do NOT think that Outlook's Tasks and Appointments were SMART enough tools for their businesses.
They were both using Outlook but were frequently finding that when they relied on their Outlook calendar, they were RUSHING about in the last minute trying to meet DEADLINES due to INCORRECT entries…
These guys are both extremely competent highly professional people… if they were having problems then I was sure that many other people would be having similar problems.
So I decided to do some research… to try and understand what they actually meant… and hopefully find a solution.
Their problem was that they needed to enter a SERIES of related appointments and tasks into Outlook (sort of like a process)… based on the start date for the real estate agent and the end date (generally a court date) for the lawyer.
It was TIME-CONSUMING and ERROR-PRONE to do this by hand each time…
sometimes some steps were missed or entered on the wrong date.
The problem was made worse because invariably there was a change in a critical date which required RESCHDEULING of multiple items and… it wasn't easy to find and change them all in Outlook.
It wasn't uncommon to miss updating one or more appointments.. and unfortunately THE SIMPLEST STEP BECOMES THE MOST CRITICAL AS SOON
The good news is that we have been working on something that I hope to release in the next month or so.
But before we do that… we thought we better make sure that we were understanding the problem properly.
Could you give us a couple of minutes of your time to answer two simple questions:
1. Why does your industry need to enter a series of appointments (and
tasks) into Outlook?
2. What are some of the problems of doing this in Outlook at the
Please type in a quick response and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com
With so many readers, I can't guarantee a personal response… but
I can guarantee that I will personally read your email.
That's all for now… Wishing you a better Outlook.

P.S. I really DO value your input in getting things right. Why
does your industry need to enter a series of appointments (and
tasks) into Outlook? and… What are some of the problems of doing
this in Outlook at the moment?

Coming Up… Smarter ways of Scheduling Outlook Appointments (and Tasks)
We've had a lot of requests from readers in the past for something to make appointments and tasks more effective… we realise that most of our past reports and addins have focussed on email productivity.
But… recent conversations with other Outlook users and reader emails are telling us that simple scheduling errors have been causing a lot of stress for many people.
So… we have been working on a system that helps you create not only individual appointments and tasks but ENTIRE SCHEDULES of them.
And then lets you monitor them… and RESCHEDULE them in case dates change (as they always do)… all INSIDE Outlook.
We're aiming to ELIMINATE almost all HUMAN-ERROR from the process.
I'm not quite ready to show you the result yet… but keep your eyes on your Inbox.
More about the project later in the week…

Mark Appointments as Complete in Outlook
A reader asked me if there was any way in Outlook to mark appointments as complete… this is available for Tasks so it should be fairly safe to assume that there must be an easy way to do the same for appointments/calendar items. It turns out there is no built-in way to do this but here's a work-around you can use instead.
There is an easy way to change the color of individual appointment items in Outlook. I use this trick to make my completed appointment Red (you can use any color you want).
Here's how you can do the same…
If you are using Outlook 2007 or 2010 (scroll down for earlier versions of Outlook)….
The color of appointment items in Outlook 2007 is controlled using categories.
First… let's create a category to mean Complete.
- Go to your Calendar.
- Right-Click over any existing appointment.
- Click Categorize and then click All Categories.
- Click the New button.
- Enter a name for the category (I used the word Complete), choose a Color and click OK.
- Click OK again to return to the Calendar screen.
The appointment you had right-clicked over should now be colored. If this appointment is actually not completed, you can clear the color by…
- Right-click over the calendar item.
- Click Categorize and click on the Complete category again (or click on Clear All Categories).
To mark another appointment on your calendar as complete.
- Right-click over the calendar item.
- Click Category and select the category of your choice (the Complete category).
If you are using Outlook 2003 or earlier….
The color of appointment items in Outlook 2003 (or earlier) is controlled with labels. Outlook comes with a default set of 10 labels (each of a different color) and you can also create your own.
First… let's change one of the labels to mean Complete.
- Go to the Calendar folder.
- On the menu at the top, click Edit > Label > Edit Label
- Edit the label text as needed
Now… to mark an appointment on your calendar as complete..
- Right-click over the calendar item.
- Click Label and select the label of your choice.
This little technique makes it simple to see which appointments have been completed and which ones still need your attention. You can also use the same technique to color code different types of appointments for quick visual reference.

1. Make sure that your computer is setup to the correct time zone. This step is important to ensure that the game time gets shown at the correct time depending on where in the world you are. Go to the Windows Control Panel and open Date and Time.
(Your screen may be slightly different depending on the version of Outlook… it may have a separate tab for Time Zone).
Make sure that the correct Time Zone is displayed i.e. the time zone of where YOU are. (I am in Fiji so the screen shot above says Fiji). Click on Change time zone if you need to.
2. Click on the link below and save the .ics file to your desktop
Download Cricket World Cup 2011 Schedule
3. Import the downloaded file into your Outlook by using the following steps. If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2010, click File – Open – Import. For all other versions of Outlook, click File – Import & Export.
4. Select Import an iCalendar (ics) or vCalendar file (vcs) from the list and click Next.
5. Use the screen that comes up to select the ics file that was downloaded in Step 1.
(You may get the following extra steps depending on the version of Outlook you are using)
Click either Open as New or Import. (I simply imported it to my main Outlook Calendar as it then synched with my Iphone too)
The times for all the games will now be in your Outlook.
Enjoy the games and may the best team win.
Outlook Productivity with Windows 7 Jump Lists
If you're using Outlook and Windows 7, here is a tip that will take you all 2 seconds to implement but will save you hours of time in the future.
One of the new features that Windows 7 has is called Jump Lists. Jump Lists are basically a list of options that get displayed for programs on the Task Bar.
- Start Outlook.
- Right Click over the Outlook icon on the Task Bar. The following options will be displayed in the Jump List (which is what Microsoft has called the pop-up that gets displayed when you right click)
Why do I like this?
I can use this Jump List to quickly create a new contact, appointment, task or email… without having to look for the appropriate button on the Outlook ribbon.
How to make it even better.
You can pin Outlook to the Task Bar so that the icon (and associated jump list) is there even when Outlook is closed. To pin Outlook to the task Bar:
- Start Outlook.
- Right Click over the Outlook icon on the Task Bar and click pin this program to the taskbar.
I hope you find this tip useful. If you have your own tips to share about the new features on Windows 7, please leave a comment on the blog.

Doctor calls PE-ing Ridiculous
So over the weekend I was listening to a local modern rock station which has a "live" late night sex advice talk show. They always have on random doctors and so forth. Well about 10 minutes into the show this girl calls in and starts asking the doctor about PE-ing.
She goes into detail that she found out her boyfriend has been doing it for about 3 1/2 months now and that she has noticed some real improvements in there sex life. She then tells the doctor that she really doesn't understand what it's all about or how her boyfriend is achieving the gains so far. She goes on to tell him she did her own research and read up about all the exercises including jelqing/kegel/ stretching and so forth. This girl sounds like she knows what she is talking about.
Just then the dj jumps into the conversation and says he has never herd of this and wants to know where he can find out info to maybe try if for himself, the girl tells him to just search the web and find a site that appeals to him. Just then the doctor buts in and said that the latest hype in the world PE- ing and he goes on to explain how he doesn't understand how so many people got into this craze because there is nothing to do other than surgery to make your penis larger. Said it is all a myth and it is ridiculous, unhealthy and harmful. It got into a pretty heated debate with the caller and this doctor, the caller stating she has proof that her boyfriend has made gains and that there sex life is so much better and her man last so much longer.
The doctor then goes on to tell the caller that it's all in her head and her boyfriends head and that anyone who wastes time bye dedicating 15-30 minutes a day trying to stretch or force more blood into there penis bye the "jelqing myth" needs to get a live and maybe should spend less time on focusing on his penis and more time on girlfriend. Said if you want to waste the time doing it, that is exactly what you are doing, WASTING TIME!! The phone call eventually ended with the doctor basically cutting the caller off and moving on to the next caller, and states he is here to answer serious medical problems and sex problems and would appreciate that no one else calls and wastes the radio stations air time with that garbage.
Now me being a newbie, I'm just on my 3rd full week, and I'm sticking to the routine religiously so far, have noticed early gains myself as I recently posted. My girlfriend last night has also told me I feel fuller insider her and that she has noticed I can go longer that normal. I have yet to measure anything (I'm holding off til the end of the 1st month), but I have noticed many positive gains in such a short time, and I am very happy with the results so far and must say it is NOT A WASTE of TIME!
My question to you guys is why do you think doctors are so against PE- ing and are giving it such a negative review and negative outlook? For a professional in my eyes to call it ridiculous, untrue and just hype is in itself RIDICULOUS and UNPROFESSIONAL. Whats your guys opinions?

It's been a while since the U.S. media has said anything about Mexico except giving the low-down on drug cartels, illegal immigration, and kidnappings. Negativity sells newspapers and sends traffic to media websites because nobody reads a publication that headlines "Plane Lands Safely." Common sense tells the intelligent reader that there must be another side to the story of what Mexicans are like. You're right. Here are a few true stories to help balance media negativity.
A storm of California wildfires, over 2,000 of them, have been especially ferocious this year. On and on our brave firefighters fought against nearly impossible odds, with new infernos continually blazing, unusually high temperatures in the bone-dry State, and the most savage enemy of the firefighter: wind.
Firefighters continued, exhausted, without sleep or rest, to protect our citizens and our resources. More than 870,000 acres, or 1,350 square miles, have been consumed making the crisis the largest in the State's history. One hundred structures were destroyed, one person perished.
What hasn't received much publicity is Mexico's help in combating the blazes. Mexican firefighters arrived in California to relieve ours even before those from Australia, Greece, and New Zealand.
There was a time in history when Mexico was accused by a U.S. NAFTA-opposed politician of making "giant sucking sounds." Well, folks, the giant noises that came from Mexico during the Katrina tragedy were not giant sucking sounds, they were giant rumbling sounds, and they came from a Mexican Army convoy driving north to help the U.S. in its time of crisis.
As water rose over the rooftops of New Orleans, the Mexican Army prepared to do battle on our behalf. For the first time since 1846, Mexican military units operated on U.S. soil, as Mexican Army trucks and tractor trailers convoyed north, with Mexican flags taped to the roof tops of the 45 vehicles.
These vehicles, manned by 200 soldiers, officers and specialists, carried water treatment plants, mobile kitchens and supplies to feed the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The convoy included military engineers, doctors, nurses, two mobile kitchens that could feed 7,000 people each per day, three flatbed trucks carrying mobile water treatment plants, and 15 trailers of bottled water, blankets and applesauce. Burritos on the side.
Last time Mexican troops were on U.S. soil (1846), they advanced north of the Rio Grande in Texas (which had recently joined the United States). Mexico, however, did not then recognize the Rio Grande as the U.S. border. There are those who say it still doesn't.
In 1916, Pancho Villa led a group of fighters in a brief raid into Columbus, New Mexico, in what is considered the last battle against foreign forces on U.S. soil. Apparently, nobody is counting Taliban terrorist cells in the U.S.
Mexico planned a second 12-vehicle aid convoy together with a Mexican navy ship steaming toward the Mississippi coast with rescue vehicles and helicopters.
The Mexicans set up consular offices in trailers around the disaster zone to help their estimated 140,000 countrymen living in the region, 10,000 of them in New Orleans. In addition, help was offered by a search-and-rescue group called "topos" -- (moles) -- organized by youths who dug through collapsed buildings after Mexico City's 1985 earthquake.
"This is the first time that the United States has accepted a military mission from Mexico" for such work, said Javier Ibarrola, a newspaper columnist who covers military affairs in Mexico. "This is something that's never happened before."
Then-President Fox of Mexico had not waited for Senate approval to help us. In an act of solidarity between our two nations, he was strong enough to give an order without wading through red tape.
In the words of the New Orleans flood survivor who was helping reunite lost children with their parents, "When you help someone else out, you help the world."
THE FIGHTING 201st
An ace flier is defined as a fighter pilot who has destroyed five or more enemy aircraft. Charlie Foster was a World War II ace with the 201st Fighter Squadron. What's more, Charlie's heroism beyond the call of duty netted him a Mexican Congressional Medal of Honor.
Yet no one made a movie about Charlie Foster, the way they did about Audie Murphy, a famed Medal of Honor-winning World War II hero, in To Hell and Back. No HBO miniseries about Charlie was made by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg the way they made Band of Brothers, the one about WW II's 101st Airborne Division's Easy Company. No Hollywood studio made an Oscar winning film about the 201st, as they did about the Civil War's first all-black volunteer company in 1989's Glory. But in its way, Charlie's tale is as special as those famous stories of heroic actions.
What makes Charlie's story unique is that his real name isn't Charlie Foster, it's Carlos Faustinos, a Mexican citizen. Carlos fought beside American airmen in the Pacific Theater and was a member of the elite Esquadron Aereo de Caza 201, also known as the Fighting 201st.
Not only did this information surprise me, but so did the fact that Mexico declared war on the Axis powers on June 11, 1942. Imagine that. Can't you just see kind, agricultural Mexico declaring war on the Big Bad Wolves Hirohito, Mussolini and Hitler? But Mexico did indeed declare war, and they put their men where their collective mouth was.
It was at that time Mexico organized the 201st Fighter Squadron, a select group of Mexican pilots, including Carlos Faustinos. Thirty-five officers and 300 enlisted men were trained in Mexico, then given additional flight training as P-47 fighter squadron at Pocatello Army Air Base in Idaho, and were then attached to the 58th Fighter Group in the Philippines where they began combat operations. They wiped out machine gun nests, dropped 181 tons of bombs and fired 153,000 rounds of ammunition, acquitting themselves well and bravely. Seven of their pilots were killed in action.
The Fighting 201st wasn't the only heroic group of Mexicans. In a town called Silvis, just west of Chicago, runs a street once named Second Street. It's not much of a street, not even two blocks long, muddy in spring, icy in winter, dusty in summer. On this single street, 105 men participated in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. It's the street where Joe Gómez, Peter Macías, Johnny Muños, Tony Pompa, Claro Solíz, and Frank, Joseph, and William Sandoval grew up together. They worked for the railroad, like their fathers who had emigrated from Mexico. These young men, raised to revere freedom, went to war without hesitation.
The two Sandoval families alone sent thirteen; six from one family; seven from the other. According to the U.S. Defense Department, this little street contributed more men to military service than any other place of comparable size in the United States, standing alone in American military history.
In a letter to Frank Sandoval, Claro Solíz described Second Street as ". . . Really not much, just mud and ruts, but right now to me it is the greatest street in the world." He never saw it again. Not one of these boys came home alive.
In honor of their supreme sacrifice, a monument listing the name of each man now stands in Silvis, Illinois. Second Street has been officially renamed Hero Street USA. Next time you're in the mid West, you might want to visit this street of heroes just to say thank you.
Maybe these stories weren't sensational enough to be covered by the media, but they happened just the same.
