The new rules of barbecue

It’s 9 a.m. in downtown Memphis. At first glance, you might mistake the tent- and trailer-filled Tom Lee Park, on the banks of the mighty, muddy Mississippi, for a shantytown.

Last night’s parties ended late, and crushed cups and overturned kegs litter the ground. then you notice the in-your-face signage: Ribbed for your Pleasure, South Pork, Reservoir Hogs. not to mention the machinery–massive slow cookers, including one fabricated from a vintage Greyhound bus and another built into a 1940s Ford.

The fires in those giant cookers are already at full bore, and the air hangs heavy and delicious with smoky sweetness.

This is the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, one of the largest competitions of its type in the world.

Over the next 3 days, hundreds of teams from across the nation will compete for a $100,000 kitty, several human-size trophies, and the bragging rights that come with a victory here. Behind a bare-bones tent in an alley of grass, competitor Craig Samuel, chef and owner of Smoke Joint in Brooklyn, sets a spice-rubbed 8-pound prime rib on the grill. From a nearby tent, Todd Hamilton, a pitmaster from the Memphis-based team known as Swine-O-Mite, can’t help speaking up.

I'm thinking about switching hosted Exchange providers, perhaps even running my own Exchange server as I have in the past. The big challenge is to store my calendar, contacts, etc in such a way that they are easily transferrable to another Exchange server mailbox. Backing up other items such as categories would be nice, but not essential, as I believe those are stored locally in Outlook 2007 ( my client ). Thanks in advance!

First in Outlook, choose File, Inport/export then next Choose Personal Folder file then next Choose the top item in your mailbox, Include Subfolders, checked, next Choose a path for the file, leave the Options and finish When it's done, you have a complete backup of your mailbox. When you're in your new Account with the new provider, Do just the oposite. File, inport from another program or file, next Scroll down to Personal Folders file then next Choose your file in the path and choose next Choose the mailbox; import in the same folder and finish! That should do it!
