Joe has been practicing hard on both the alto and tenor saxophones. He's in the high school band as well as a separate Jazz Band. The day of his Cabaret Night debut this past Thursday, he got a shiny new Keilwerth alto sax from his mom:

My JanSport backpack and I have travelled everywhere together - all across the United States, Germany, Scotland, Italy and right here in lovely Sunderland, Massachusetts. I use it a lot as a ride my bicycle around town to do work and run errands.

I often throw a laptop, a few folders or some boxes to be mailed into my backpack and pedal wherever I need to in our little town. So I was quite sad when the zipper on the pack started to give way. After a while, it could no longer be trusted to hold everything reliably. What to do?!?

Go out an buy another JanSport backpack, of course! I loved my old one, so I went online and found a new one similar to it. I couldn't find my favorite burgundy color, so I settled for green (my other favorite). It arrived quickly and looked great. As I was unpacking it, I noticed that the JanSport information said simply that all JanSport backpacks come with a lifetime product warranty....

I've been using Outlook 2003 for a long time. A couple of days ago, Outlook no longer filtered junk mail into the special Junk Mail folder. All the spam just accumulated in my Inbox. Since I have public email addresses, I get literally hundreds of spam messages an hour. I rely on the Junk Filter working properly.

I am suspicious that this behavior began right after I installed the trial version of Microsoft Publisher 2007 (so I could view a .pub document someone sent me). I'm my search for a solution to the problem, I did see some other reports of people suspecting Office 2007 (and other Microsoft updates) affecting Outlook.

I stumbled on the solution that worked for me in a forum article titled "Junk mail filter stopped working". This solution is very simple:

1. In Outlook 2003, select Help > Detect and Repair from the menu.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

After this, I restarted Outlook and the Junk Mail filter started working again!
