Copy Windows PC Outlook address book to Mac Entourage

Our business is upgrading from Dell PCs based on Windows XP/Vista/7 to MacBook Pros.  We made the decision due to the high usage of Macs by our staff at home and the problems we have administering the various versions of Vista that came with the computers we purchased.  As there is only one version of OS X that is current at any time, it has been an easy transition.

Before one week ago, I had NO experience with Macs.  None.  I had run Linux systems maybe 15 years ago.  But with no experience, with very little effort I now have our Macs fully on line with our Windows Server 2003 server, and have all server data automatically synchronizing with the Macs so that the server data is on the Macs during travel. (Cloud computing is great.)

The big problem was Microsoft Office for Mac doesn't allow importing of PST files from our Office Outlook files.  It took me days to figure out how to get the contact list to Entourage.

Here is how:

1.  Sync the Outlook files to an iPhone or iPod.
2.  Sync the iPhone or iPod to the Mac.  Now the contacts are in the Mac address book.
3.  Open Entourage. Open "Preferences".  You can do this from the menu bar or [command][,].
4.  Click "sync services".
5.  Select the check box "Synchronize contacts with Address Book and MobileMe

Pow!  the contacts move to Entourage.

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live

She is not a witch, she is a victim of modern witchcraft: a meth user after 4 years

New item:

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday pledged to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Mexico in its violent struggle against drug cartels, and acknowledged the U.S. shares blame because of its demand for drugs....

 What does this have to do with the often quoted Bible verse, Exodus 22:18?

In the time of Exodus, there were no "witches" as we think of them today.  There were no old hags with warted noses and pointed black hats riding broomsticks.  What the word "witch" refers to is the ancient Hebrew word casaph which literally translates "poisoner."  A poisoner was someone who used naturally found substances or concoctions to secretly kill, injure, or control other people.  This is the origin of the mythology behind witches brewing a potion in a cauldron, and what led to the translation of this word to "witch" in the 17th century.  (An excellent description of this kind or witchcraft is found in the book The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis.)

Illegal drugs are poisons.  They are also big business for the poisoners who create and sell them.  Opiates, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other drugs create their own demand by creating addiction, which is a physical and psychological dependence brought about by the drug itself.  Also, many narcotics produce tolerance in the addict, requiring more and more as time goes by.

Blaming the addict for drug use is bad science and leads to bad policies.  Addicts are not evil people: they are normal people whose lives have been taken over by a poison. 

Mrs. Clinton: the U.S. is not to be blamed for our people being poisoned, but the poisoners--the drug dealers--are.  Do your job and keep them from crossing our borders!

Our responsibility as Americans is to see that our government does everything it can to stop the dealers from bringing their poisons into the U.S., using lethal force if necessary, and to rehabilitate the victims of the foreign and domestic poisoners.

Racist, bigoted liberal abortionists

In the U.S., 22 percent of pregnancies end in abortion.  But 52% of African-American pregnancies end in abortion.  Why?

The Abortion Industry deliberately builds its "clinics" in African-American neighborhoods.  Why?

Abortion kills more black people than the seven leading causes of death combined (heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases).  Why?

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, stated:  "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."  Black Christian ministers have been duped in to supporting the genocide of African-American children.  Why?

Your government, your President, a Black man, promotes the killing of unborn children, and your President promotes the killing of children who survive the abortionists blade.  Why?

What happened to our President? Why won't he listen?

It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshipers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness. They live in an artificial atmosphere of adulation and exultation which sooner or later impairs their judgment. They are in grave danger of becoming careless and arrogant.
---Calvin Coolidge
