Event notification is a powerful tool that allows you to be informed of
updates or additions to a calendar. These are based on notification
filters. To configure notifications, click on options at the footer of the calendar, then select the Notifications tab. Note that you must first have
at least a primary e-mail address configured in your Contact Options.
To create a notification, click on the Add button at the top of the table. A window will appear that will allow you to search for the calendar you wish to receive notifications for. Click on the Add button next to the calendar and it will be inserted into your notifications list with the default settings.
Once inserted, you may configure a name for your notification filter. This is simply a friendly name used only on this screen so that you may quickly identify filters in the list. You may then configure a category, and title filter (case insesitive). If an event is added or updated in the calendar that matches the criteria in a notification filter, you will receive an e-mail notification.
Note that the display format of the e-mail notification will differ based on your Theme setting.
If an added or updated event matches multiple filters that have the same e-mail address, you will only receive one e-mail. For instance, you may have one filter that checks for the category of Meeting, and another that checks for any event titles that contain 'meeting'. This way you are sure to receive notification of meetings added to that calendar without receiving duplicate e-mails.

A new benefit CD is worth putting your money where your heart is, created when the Wavelab recording studio in Tucson, Arizona, wanted to reach out across the desert and aid Habitat For Humanity's Musician's Village project in New Orleans. Graciously: A Gulf Relief Compilation features a dozen exclusive new tracks from artists who've recorded albums at the studio, including Robyn Hitchcock, Devotchka, John Doe, Howie Gleb, Friends of Dean Martinez, and Calexico. Look for it next week on store shelves from the Funzalo Records label.
"Don't quit your day job" is a common rebuke to performers. I bet the members of Carbon Leaf - performing at Davenport's Redstone Room on Wednesday, June 28 - are grateful that they ignored that admonition. Described by the group's drummer, Scott Milstead, as "a 5-piece acoustic/electric/mandolin/rootsy/poppy rock band" - whew! - the Virginia natives did indeed quit their day jobs in 2002 after seven years together and, since performing full-time, have never looked back; their most recent album, Indian Summer, had Music Box Online's T.J. Simon raving, "The album delivers so many magnificent moments that it's a difficult task to put a finger on any one favorite selection." And in case you were wondering where the band's moniker originates from, Wikipedia reveals that although specifics are "murky," Carbon Leaf's Barry Privett and Terry Clark supposedly came up with the name - among several possibilities - during a rafting trip. It's definitely better than their other options: Where the Hell Are We? and Should We Be Worried That Kevin Bacon Is in the Raft Next to Us?

He's been described as "a bit rough and tons of fun"; he's been hammering out the blues for more than 30 years; he's been getting more and more recognition for his talent; and he's going to be in the tent on Sunday.
