Major technologies are emerging in all fields today. Which of these are the keystones that can drive human collaboration? And how will they affect - and be affected by - the ways that people work together? This is a look at some of these trends, now and coming. Which of these, from social change to synthetic intelligence and metamaterials, will change our everyday collaborating lives through the next decade?
It's About Being Real, Wherever We Are
In the old days, communication meant exchanging information. A phone call or email was fine for schedule updates and stock prices, but our goals have changed. Today we're looking for real engagement from wherever we are – it's not just the data now, it's the personal connection too. We don't want to just leave a message, we want to make that connection and be there. That's very different from texting a message and hoping they got it.
From mobile videoconferencing to full-room immersive telepresence (ITP) systems, we've already taken some big steps. But the technologies are continuing to evolve - and even better, to broaden. We're headed toward a world of Personal Telepresence, in which everyone can fully engage. This is not happening in just one technology, either. If you're looking for trends to watch, look at body extensions – conventional headsets, and virtual reality headsets like Oculus Rift (don't miss the Google cardboard VR), and, maybe a bit farther out for most of us, biological implants. Look at ambient technologies that can make normal spaces like rooms and offices more engaging – acoustic management systems, metamaterials, finely-coordinated illumination systems, and directed ultrasonics.
As they develop, what's most likely is that combinations of these contact-based and ambience-based techniques will bring the subjective experience in closer tune with our shared and collaborative environments, and we can all "be there" together, whenever we wish.
Adios/Ciao/Goodbye, Language Barriers
Working across language barriers is already easing. Live transcription is becoming more practical, and limited live cross-language translation is beginning to appear. What's needed is a practical system for this, and the next decade will see continued convergence to an asymptote that merges very high accuracy, low latency (low translation delay), large vocabulary, and compatibility with a wide range of voices, accents, and acoustic environments (if any of these are less than perfect, most systems today degrade rapidly). We're unlikely to reach perfection in 10 years, but we and our solutions will adapt to each other, and become much better at harvesting meaningful value from even moderate accuracy and vocabulary.
The Never-Ending Age of the Desktop… Well, Sort Of
The old desktop telephone had an audio handset, a hookswitch, a dial or dialpad, and you could talk to someone else only if they had one too. Remaining old-style telephones, as they exist today, will be museum pieces in ten years, but new generations of the desktop device will continue to evolve. And there's a reason for this.
A desktop device is built atop a powerful foundation that cannot be equaled, in many ways. It is connected to the network from a known environment through an extreme high-reliability, high-bandwidth connection. At the low end, it may still provide a primarily audio connection (although with high-fidelity HD Voice, essential for talking with people having unpredictable accents and vocabularies); at the high end, it becomes a comprehensive personal and extensible Immersive Telepresence system. One of the enduring virtues of the desktop platform is that it is the only endpoint that can be absolutely guaranteed by an IT organization. Its wired connection brings power independence from battery-charging concerns, and its assured network connection brings independence from the vagaries of a wireless environment, forgotten passwords, and potentially porous wireless security environments.
With user-supplied devices (BYOD), the users are often on their own for tech support. By putting these functions on the network platform instead, even a hardware desktop device inherits the benefits of a "cloud" implementation, where management can be optimized, performance maximized, and cost reduced.
The Metadata of Live Interaction
Meetings metadata, in which the statistics of meeting operations are captured for later analysis, is becoming a larger part of efficient conference management. But even so, most information in a meeting is lost. Who first made a suggestion? Were they sitting in a chair or sketching something out on a whiteboard when they said it? If they were sketching, what were they sketching? Who else said it, and was that before or after?
What happens in the physical spaces in which people collaborate carries enormous information, and I call the aggregation of this data "metamedia," the metadata of live interaction. Not only meeting dynamics, but the recognition of who are the best idea-creators, managers, or revenue builders, can come from a deeper understanding of exactly what happened in and across discussions and meetings. This is what effective use of collected metamedia brings - not only by today's standards, but by the continually-evolving understanding of how human dynamics affect value.
There are many more trends continuing to develop, but these are some of the most foundational technology trends that will be driving the coming evolution in how people collaborate.

It's a bit surprising that BMW isn't all that worried about Volkswagen's move to take a stake in SGL Group, the carbon fiber supplier that is BMW's joint venture partner.
In a Reuters' interview, BMW Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner said that the company is "open" and would welcome all automakers that would help increase volume and economies of scale.
Eichiner talked to Reuters while he attended an event last Friday to launch the electric inner city vehicle i3. Last February, Volkswagen acquired an 8% stake in SGL in order to secure its stock of carbon fibers, a key technology that makes cars more fuel-efficient and lightweight.
Since then, the stake has been raised to nearly 10%. In response to this move, BMW investor Susanne Klatten (the richest woman in Germany and heiress to the fortune of German industrialist Herbert Quandt) increased her stake in SGL to nearly 30%. This is described as a blocking stake that's sufficient to put a stop to its outside companies influencing corporate strategy.
Klatten previously held 22%. She now holds 12.6% in BMW, while the Quandt family holds a combined 46.7% of BMW. In October 2009, SGL entered a cooperation agreement with BMW on lightweight carbon parts for its i3 electric vehicle, which is also recognized as the MegaCity project.
This is just a few months after Klatten came out as a major shareholder in SGL. So far, SGL has said that it isn't ruling out collaboration deals with other carmakers.
To decrease carbon-dioxide emissions, the car industry is using more carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), which are 30% lighter than aluminum and 50% lighter than steel.

Answer: How can I use AUTOLOAD to magically define get and set methods for my member data?by saucepan (Scribe)

Q&A > object-oriented programming > How can I use AUTOLOAD to magically define get and set methods for my member data? - Answer contributed by saucepan
If you do this, you may want to provide a new can() method for people to use:
(This one assumes that people will often call can() without intending to use the method ref it returns, and so it defers calling AUTOLOAD until someone goes to use it. Because of this, it needs a second check to see if someone else has already AUTOLOADed the desired method in the meantime.)

GameStop exec: Beacons augment in-store experience, rewards usage
NEW YORK – A GameStop executive at the Mcommerce Summit: State of Mobile Commerce 2015 revealed that in-store beacons, alongside augmented reality, are enhancing the in-store shopping process by offering a personalized experience and supporting the PowerUp Rewards loyalty program.
One of the key takeaways from the "GameStop's PowerUp Rewards Loyalty Program: The Real Driver Behind a Mobile Channel Strategy" session is the heavy role that the brand's mobile loyalty program plays in driving both in-store and online sales. Complemented by beacons which provide users with additional information about new releases and an augmented reality function to showcase snippets of particular games, GameStop is tapping mobile to help strengthen its significant bricks-and-mortar presence.
"Our engagement levels are incredibly high," said Frank Hamlin, chief marketing officer at GameStop, Grapevine, TX. "Almost 100 percent of our active data base is entering one of our stores in any given year.
"You've got to be able to, with these digital technologies, understand that customer and market to them in that moment."
The Mcommerce Summit: State of Mobile Commerce 2015 was organized by Mobile Commerce Daily and Mobile Marketer.
PowerUp's influence
The executive claimed that one in five human beings is a member of the PowerUp rewards program, signifying the platform's immense influence on consumers. The brand sees three times the sales from a PowerUp member over a regular walk-in, which provides optimal opportunity to target that customer with personalized deals.
PowerUp members also represent five times the profit of a regular customer.
GameStop customers are very active in-store, although online and mobile are paramount in influencing sales.
Forty percent of online traffic now comes from mobile, according to Mr. Hamlin, which will soon prompt mobile to become the primary form of traffic to all GameStop sites.
"For us, we have both a mobile-enabled site and a mobile app," Mr. Hamlin said. "Within both of those things, [usage is] primarily product search and discovery.
"A big part of our business is trade values. Store information is an obvious use of it, but it's also an incredibly functional use of it," he said.
"Finally, it's an enabler for managing your PowerUp account."
Digital enhancements
GameStop relies on digital and mobile channels to also keep guests engaged while not in-store. Its mobile app has five million unique users and is growing at a rate of 68 percent.
The brand's mobile users spend 81 percent more in general than PowerUp users, displaying the discrepancy between gaming fans who do not engage with GameStop on mobile and digital platforms. Mobile users also trade 53 percent more, and purchase 79 percent more pre-owned items.
These consumers have reacted positively to geo-fencing capabilities in bricks-and-mortar stores, such as the beacons, which were introduced approximately two months ago.
GameStop has equipped its GTI stores with tablets for each greeter associate, who can then meet customers at the door and engage in a small reward points exchange, access their account and look up existing trade balances.
Mobile app users are then directed to beacon-enabled areas, where they can receive information about latest game releases, and bring up that content on a nearby in-store television with a flick of their wrist. Consumers who are unsure about purchasing a specific game may tap augmented reality to catch a preview of it on mobile or tablet.
Lastly, GameStop enables associates to build a digital dashboard of social media content, which functions as a portal for employees to create relevant posts and send to customers at any time.
"We are very focused on the chronology of these technologies," Mr. Hamlin said. "When we get it right, we make sure that we've changed lives."

More than 90% of all online activities begin with search. It makes one wonder how we found anything before Google! What may come as a bit more of a revelation is that 46% of searchers, now use mobile exclusively for their product research, and the majority of these mobile searches are local specific. People act quickly after a local search, and 50% of people searching on a mobile visit a store within a day. It's become second nature to search on the fly and as a result, Google particularly has really upped its game in local search recently.
Understanding how to gain visibility in local search is becoming critical for local businesses; but is also something that every business should be thinking about. It can sometimes be tricky to identify where the best opportunities lie in local search. The ultimate objective is always to gain some visibility on page one "real estate", but opportunities range from local pack results, through to organic results for high volume "head" terms, as well as results for long-tail and geo-modified search terms.
Generic keywords, such as "plumber", "accountant" and "florist" tend to be the most competitive and highly sought after, and generate the largest search volume. Generics are what all local businesses aspire to rank for, but the reality is that they are generally out of reach. These tend to be the exclusive domain of large businesses such as news publishers, national directories, UK-wide or global businesses, and government sites.
The better opportunities for local businesses to appear in page one results lie in the local pack. Of the three main search engines, Google is the most generous, displaying an average pack size of six results versus just three or four displayed by Bing and Yahoo.
In addition to this, long-tail terms are where local businesses could be setting their sights, to help gain visibility in organic search results. However, the search volumes for long-tail terms are significantly less than generic terms, so businesses should be aiming to rank for a high number of them for it to have any benefit on site traffic.
Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases that visitors are often likely to use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase or conversion. For example, a local coffee shop is never going to rank near the top of an organic search for the term "coffee shop" as there's too much competition. But if the coffee shop in question is an authentic Italian delicatessen, then keywords such as "Italian deli cafe" or "Italian delicatessen cafe" are going to help find customers looking for exactly that sort of establishment.
By additionally adding a geographical modifier to long-tail keywords, such as "Italian deli cafe in Bournemouth", this can also act as proof of local relevance, and hence boost a business' chances of page one visibility.
It's this understanding that helps to explain the importance of local businesses using content to gain traction and visibility in first page search listings. Local businesses need a solid content strategy that is focused on delivering original, engaging content, on a regular basis, across a wide range of local relevant topics.
So how do local businesses go about delivering content for their long-tail search strategy?

Fried brain, among other things
Check your appliance cords to be sure they are not frayed/have wires exposed before you use them.
I was curling my hair on sunday before church and my curling iron exploded in my hand. Literally. Sparks shooting out, everything. I was absolutely terrified. It gave me a tiiiiiiiny little electric burn/exit wound on my thumb (looks more like a mole).
I knew it would happen some day, I should have been more prepared. That curling iron was the cheapest of the cheap and I've had it for about 7 years (the off button doesn't even work and, as you can see, it's held together with althletic tape) so this event was a long time coming. I guess that could be another PSA for you: quit being so cheap.
Anyways, I'm rambling. This is a blog about a very momentous occasion: my first electric burn. As an adult, that is. [As a kid I had a lot of trial and error experiences with metal objects and electric currents, but those are other stories for another day]
In conclusion, here's a random Tucson pic for you:
Just driving home from work. You know. No big deal.

I can't believe it left a mark!! I got an electrical burn setting up our christmas lights one year. It didn't leave a mark, but I was brain dead for about an hour afterward. I honestly couldn't think clearly! Weird.
ps. sometimes cheaper is better. My parents are currently repairing their third $400 microwave in three years. The electrician said that the cheaper ones usually last twice as long. Why is that???

I think I have that same curling iron. The "on" button falls inside about once a week and I have to pry it open and jiggle it back out and then squeeze it shut (I see you were using some kind of tape to hold yours in place). :) Good to know what I have to look forward to. :) I've been using the same brand for YEARS (not because it's cheap, but because I like how it does my hair... when it works). Once one broke and I swear it was getting colder the longer it was on. In December 1996 one bizarrely got SUPER HOT and melted off a chunk of my hair instantly on contact... as I was getting ready for the company Christmas party. I would have preferred electrocution. :)

monitor esx with nagios
Its a system administrator duty to be sure the ESX servers health and performance are OK.
I monitor:
Its a system administrator duty to be sure the ESX servers health and performance are OK.
I monitor:
This plugins uses a script called check_counter_rawcount.vbs developed by Dr. Dave Blunt at GroundWork Open Source Inc.
I used it to grab WMI performance counter information but the script itself allows many more "performance counters" to be used.
The script is included in NRPE_NT Plugins V2, it can also be download here.
The way I defiened in nrpe.cfg is:
I just heard about this yet anothe tool that works with nagios its called opsview.
Opsview is the award winning Open Source application and infrastructure
monitoring software from Opsera. It provides comprehensive system
management capabilities used to monitor the health of today's most
complex data centres.
Opsview provides a central, web-based console from which you can
monitor, diagnose and manage all your enterprise IT resources.
Opsview significantly extends the capabilities of Nagios and Nagios
plug-ins and many other open source components into one single,
coherent system
So I got a hard mission, monitor a VMWare ESX 3 Server. I thought it would be easy but I was wrong.
Of course I did with Nagios/Centreon, at first I tried SNMP without much success. So I found out that a smart guy somewhere had gone thru the pain of delevoping some quite amazing script that would do just what I needed.
This guy is Steve Shipway and his site/forum has much information http://www.steveshipway.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=28.
I will focus in monitoring the Server ESX, not its VM hosts.
Well here are the stpes I did in order to have it "almost" working they way I wanted:
Using Nagios I am able to monitor the currency conversion rate, so I can know exactly when to sell my currency and to buy my currency. I wrote a creative plugin to nagios that does just that!
Its not my best bash code, I should really rewrite in perl. But the idea is here, and it works.
Anyone wants to build a nagios just to monitor and graph currency exchange rates? I am up for it.
bash currencymon.sh
Usage: currencymon.sh [–minwarn value] [–maxwarn value] [–mincrit value] [–maxcrit value] [-v|–verbose]

Problem with Nagios check_by_ssh plugin is that it requires also the nagios-plugins to be installed on the client server. At least part of the nagios-plugins, because in the end all we need is to perform the local checks using ssh remote cmds.
So I put in a file nagiosclient.tar with the check scripts including some perl.The focus hereis to check Disk,Memory,Cpu of Linux remote servers. Without using SNMP, NRPE just plain SSH. I think its a great solution mainly because NRPE is a pain to install in Linux, in Windows its quite easy and I always try to use it combined with SNMP. SNMP is nice but its limited in what it can monitor, and sometimes it can get really messy. So lets start configuring SSH.
Network Monitoring Tools:
Well I have real world experience as an administrator using many network monitoring tools, the main
ones I have used are: Nagios with Oreon interface and many custom plugins, MOM (Microsoft Operations Manger 2005), CA-NSM r3.1,r11.1(Computer Associates, Network System Monitor), HP-OVO.

The 22 new 16-bit All Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) of the 78K0R/Kx3-L series from NEC Electronics (Distribution: Gleichmann Electronics) require only 1.5 milliwatts (mW) per million instructions per second (Dhrystone 1.1) and therefore, currently offer the industry's highest power/performance ratio. The new MCUs are based on NEC Electronics' high-performance 16-bit 78K0R CPU core.
Many features have been optimized. For example, power consumption at 20 MHz operation has been reduced by 20% to 6.5 milliamperes (mA) and at 10 MHz operation by 10 percent to 3.5 mA. Even more significant is the optimization of the power management circuitry, which is reflected in the standby power consumption. When only the real-time clock is active the power consumption of the 78K0R/Kx3-L family reduces to 1.0 microampere (µA). This was previously, an average of 2.4 µA. By reducing the internal supply voltage from 2.4 V to 1.8 V in "low consumption current mode", the overall power consumption can be further reduced.
On-chip oscillator circuits allow the MCUs to be operated at a different clock speeds of 20 MHz, 8 MHz or in a special power-saving mode 1 MHz. Thanks to a guaranteed error rate of less than 1 percent at operating frequencies of 8 and 20 MHz , the need to add an external quartz/resonator, even for asynchronous data transfers, is eliminated.
Especially interesting for sensor applications; an optimized 12-channel, 10-bit A/D converter circuit, which is also integrated on the 78K0R/Kx3-L family, reduces the conversion time of an analog input into a digital output from 6 to 3 microseconds (µs). In addition, one internal operational amplifier and two internal comparators allow a wide range of analog data to be measured.
Because of the low power consumption and the extensive peripheral functions, the 22 new MCUs of the 78K0R/Kx3-L family are ideally suited for use in portable equipment or with sensor-equipped systems such as fire alarms, security devices, meters, industrial sensors, hand-held medical diagnostics devices as well as data acquisition and point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
Samples will be available from the third quarter of 2008. Start of volume production is planned for the end of 2008.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has hinted that he would consider working abroad but only in the future after his current contract has expired.
The Palace manager was quoted by the Evening Standard as saying: "I think at some stage international football, of some degree, is something I'd look at, for sure," he admitted."
Pardew's latest revelation sparked a media storm in Turkey as Beşiktaş had made him an offer over the summer transfer window according to French source Foot Mercato.
Palace are sixth in the Premier League table just nine points off league leaders Leicester City.
Beşiktaş are currently coached by Şenol Güneş who replaced Slaven Bilic over the summer and the Black Eagles currently sit at the top of the Turkish Super League as well as their Europa League group.
The Istanbul giants have the chance to book a place in the Europa League Round of 32 with just a point from their final game against Sporting Lisbon. Beşiktaş could also qualify even if they lose should Lokomotiv Moscow drop points against Skenderbeu.

PIASSI, Luís Paulo e PIETROCOLA, Maurício. Science fiction and the teaching of science: beyond the method of 'finding errors in movies'. Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.3, pp.525-540. ISSN 1517-9702. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1517-97022009000300008.
Works of science fiction have been pointed as an important resource in the teaching of science. However, more than a possible didactic resource to facilitate the learning of science, science fiction constitutes in itself a modality of discourse about science, insofar as it expresses through cinema and literature, interests and concerns about current scientific issues that impact directly on the socio-cultural sphere. It is, nevertheless, common to regard the possible didactic quality of fictional works only in terms of the supposed scientific correction of the concepts they present, an attitude that ignores the conditions of production of the fictional discourse. In the present work a methodology is proposed to analyze the content of works of science fiction in their relation to scientific knowledge, trying to reveal through elements of literary analysis and semiotics the process of construction of what we called counterfactual elements. The present analysis views the work of fiction not just as a simple didactic element, but as a discourse governed by fictional mechanisms, and that makes use of these mechanisms to convey positions, ideas and debates around current scientific themes. As a result, a categorization of these elements was developed based on the Greimasian semiotics, employing a set of distinctive features assumed as lexemes in the definition of the categories. By representing distinct narrative mechanisms, each one of these categories has the potential to be explored differently in didactic terms.

text: As per title, forwarders for WiiFlow, Configurable USB Loader, and USB Loader GX all crash to the Wii menu. Forwarders for WiiMC and emulators work fine. I've tried re-installing IOS58 and then deleting and re-installing the forwarders, but no dice. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. Also, USB Loader GX says "No WBFS or FAT/NTFS/EXT partition found" when I manage to load it from HBC. I has 3 options: Select, Format, or Return. If I go to select, if gives me 4 partitions: 1: 544.21GB, 2: 923.14GB, 3: 923.14GB, 4: 0.03GB. I'm only using an 8GB USB stick with one fat32 partition, so I don't know WTF it's talking about. I tried reformatting and doing a fresh install of it, but it's the same thing. Selecting any of those partitions crashes it back to the Wii menu. If it slect format, it gives me the same list of drives. Trying to format any of them crashes back to the Wii menu after it's done. Any idea what's going on here? I've tried a different USB drive, but it's all the same problems except USB Loader GX just freezes with a white background instead of giving me those options.

quids in with the lilies
Kildare have been starting slowly and finishing strongly for much of this championship year.
They were 1-3 to 0-0 down against Meath in the quarters and were still behind at the break before romping home.
Down on the other hand got a good start against Kerry and held on in their last-eight clash which makes the half-time/full-time offer for Down/Kildare at 4/1 look very inviting.

Police find £4m cannabis factory
A sophisticated cannabis factory which produced up to £4 million of the drug has been discovered inside a derelict building.
Up to 6,000 cannabis plants were found in the empty property in West Hill, Dartford, Kent, following a tip-off on Monday.
Police estimate the drug factory, which included extensive lighting and ventilation equipment, produced cannabis estimated at between £2 million and £4 million.
Ian Learmonth, the chief constable of Kent Police, said it was unclear whether the drugs were to be used on the county's streets or elsewhere.
But nevertheless he said the shutting down of the operation marked a major blow to drug dealers and users. No arrests have yet been made.
Mr Learmonth said: "This is a major drugs supply operation and while we don't yet know whether these drugs were to be used on Kent streets or further afield, stripping down an operation of this size will undoubtedly make a big impact on the county's drug network.
"Keeping these drugs off our streets and out of the hands of dealers and vulnerable persons shows drugs will not be tolerated in Kent."
Officers will remain on the scene for a number of days dismantling the factory and gathering evidence, a police spokesman said.

Had my first dinner at this 3-month new "french-fusion" place a few nights ago and I came away quite impressed with the quality of the food and the talent of the chef. While waiting for the restaurant to open, René and I talked with a couple of "regulars" who rated the place highly. One of them compared the quality of the food to Marinus, (one of the area's best resturants), but at half the price. That got our attention.
The menu offers several small plates, a few main courses and a tasting menu. The good wine list offers selected wines in either 2 oz. pours, glass, 1/2 botttle, full bottle and a few flights at very reasonable prices, so there's lots of opportunity to experiment. Very good quality linens, cutlery and stemware are used here, including Riedel Vinum Extreme wine glasses, my fave.
The chef sent out an amusé of softly caramelized onion and goat cheese on a puff pastry round drizzled with an herbed olive oil.
We decided to try the following small plates:
Lobster Hand Roll: a delicate crepe filled with large, tender chunks of lobster, the intact red claw meat and a few microgreens extending out of the top. It was served with an exquisite cognac cream sauce--we both resisted the urge to lick the plate clean! With the lobster, we had a 1/2 bottle of Guigal Cotes du Rhone Blanc.
Portobello Ravioli in duck broth: tasty mushroom stuffing in a very flavorful reduced broth with subtle asian touches of sesame oil, etc. The chef had paired this with a glass of local Jouillian Carmel Valley Zinfandel on his tasting menu, so we went along with it, and were glad we did--an exceptionally beautiful zin.
Salad of red & yellow beets, goat cheese and arugula: Nice presentation with colorful mounds of dressed diced beets and a yin/yang design in the center--very refreshing.
Melange a Trois: small chunks of crisp sweetbreads, melt-in-the-mouth fois gras, one very large seared scallop, also perfectly undercooked and soft, served with a slightly sweet sherry demi-glace. SO good, and a bargain at about $15. With this, we had a glass of inexpensive, but good burgundy, Hugues et Yves de Suremain Mercurey 1er Cru, Les Crets.
For dessert, the Pear Empanadas with house-made vanilla ice cream and mango sorbet in a pool of creme anglais (custard sauce) was even better than it sounded -- a nice combination of crisp, creamy and refreshingly tart flavors and textures, which we enjoyed with cups of their good, strong coffee.
Service could not have been better. Both our young servers were informed, professional, friendly and gave us excellent suggestions. Melange adds much to the downtown dining scene and we put it at the top of our list along with our other favorites, The White House and Passionfish.

It's called a Blues Harmonica Blowout for good reason.
Mark Hummel and his band come to Three Stage on Jan. 11. There, they are joined by an all-star harmonica lineup: Lazy Lester (who worked with Slim Harpo and Lightnin' Slim), Rick Estrin (of Little Charlie & The Nightcats), Grammy-nominee Kenny Neal, Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds), and guitarists Charlie Baty (in a rare reunion with his Little Charlie colleague Estrin) and Joe Louis Walker (who has worked with everybody, including John Lee Hooker, Muddy Water, Jimi Hendrix and more).
All these musicians pay tribute to Jimmy Reed at this special performance sponsored by Capital Public Radio.
"This series was started in 1991 and has grown to become an international event," noted Three Stages Executive Director Dave Pier. "It sold out briskly last year here at Three Stages and we expect this to be a popular event this year."
Mark Hummel's Blues Harmonica Blowout will perform in Three Stages at 8 p.m. on Friday, Jan 11. Tickets are $19 to $29 with premium tickets a$39; students with ID get in for $12. Purchase tickets online at threestages.net or from Three Stages ticket office at (916) 608-6888 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and two hours before show time.
Three Stages is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, facing East Bidwell Street.

Accompanying The Last of the Sun are two best-selling Talking Head monologues, A Cream Cracker Under the Settee and Waiting for the Telegram.
Also featured is a specially written introduction and postscript, in which Alan recalls the experience of knowing and working with Thora.
This is a fitting tribute to the talents of a pair who, in the course of their longstanding working relationship, combined drama and comedy to leave a legacy of unique work. Alan and Thora is sure to appeal to all Bennett and Hird fans.

There are no reviews for this title yet.
"Wonderful Alan and Thora at their best"
If you like Alan Bennett and Loved Thora Hird this is a really nice listen.
Any other Alan Bennett book to be honest his style of writing is very inspirational
I've always found Thora Hird to be like a relative, a nice Auntie someone who listens, and her and Alan Bennett had an amazing collaboration, two people who worked together perfectly.
A wonderful closing chapter to Thora Hirds career and life on the stage.
No I listened in 2 sittings but I will listen again at some point
"lovely memiors of a truly loved lady."
Yes it is a large bit of recent history
Thora was a treat to hear her voice
A true insight to a cleverly impish true lady
"Simply brilliant in every way"
So true to life, Bennett creates super realistic characters and the stories and performance are touching, a delight to savour.
There simply wasn't enough of it!
"Alan and Thora"
I thought it was a very fitting tribute to Thora. I had never heard her last performance before and am very pleased that it was included in this tribute.
"A lovely , thought provoking listen"
The story lines, the way Alan Bennett gently explores characters and hints at their lives and the way the character's monologues are so beautifully acted by Thora Hird
Waiting for the telegram is one of the most poignant and beautifully written exploration of ageing and life I have heard . I am playing it to all my nursing students as it encapsulates many themes around caring for older people and how people see them is not necessarily who they are and have been
I have only listened to one previous recording with Thora Hird which was fab - a cracker under the settee. This is better as there is more of Thora
In waiting for the telegram the character's remembering her first love
I have listened to this time and again, something I rarely do
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audible book. Waiting for the telegram was beautifully scripted and brought tears to my eyes.
"Touching portrayal of a working relationship"
I adore her down to earth attitude and humour. They complement one another perfectly. Funny and touching.

BOSTON -- Maybe, just maybe, Joakim Noah doesn't think Kevin Garnett is so bad.
There is a little piece of him that actually likes Garnett for intensity and appreciates his passion that gets under the skin of players around the league.
But before we get to those underlying emotions, let's go back to his sentiments on the surface.
On Friday the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls tangled in yet another battle. This time, the Derrick Rose-less Bulls beat the Avery Bradley-less Celtics, 100-99 in overtime. There were plenty of tense moments between Garnett and Noah and the hostility could be felt across the court.
Following the game, Noah discussed limiting Garnett to 5-for-16 shooting by playing tough defense and contesting his shot. Then he went a step further in his analysis.
"He's a hell of a competitor," said Noah. "He's always on some bulls. (What does that mean?) Just trying to throw elbows, cheap shots, just trying to get you off your game. But he's a vet, he's been doing this a long time, but it's alright."
There was a time when Noah deemed Garnett "a dirty player." Reflecting on that now, Noah said, "I feel like I was young, maybe talking a little bit too much. What happens on the court should stay on the court and I was pretty vocal about it but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is winning or losing basketball games. It doesn't matter, you don't have to like your opponents, it's alright."
When asked if he thought Garnett crosses the line when he plays, Noah replied no, before adding, "When we lose, I feel like he crosses the line. But since we've been beating their a, I'm cool with it."
Noah is now 27, about to turn 28 next month. He is in his sixth NBA season, long enough for him to know how to manage his emotions. He has learned opposing players are not there to be his friend. No matter who he looked up to as a child, unless they are wearing the same uniform as him, they are out to beat him. That was a challenging reality for him to understand early on and one of the reasons why he was so taken aback by and vocal about Garnett's demeanor.
Coming to that realization has given him an appreciation for Garnett. It is a feeling wrapped up tightly in layers of competitiveness, but it's there nonetheless.
"The thing is, when I was a kid I used to wear Kevin Garnett jerseys," he said. "I used to have his poster and his jersey and I would wear it proud. I guess it's part of growing up and being part of the league. You can't be a fan anymore, you've got to compete against these guys. He made me learn that, and I kind of like it, because from that day on, I would never, ever go up to somebody before a game or during a game and show my appreciation or something like that, or show what they meant to me. Because of KG, I will never, ever, ever do that again. It was embarrassing."
Noah refuses to be humiliated on the court. He gets in a zone before playing the Celtics, which begins the day prior to the matchup. Garnett has shut down players before, and Noah will not let himself be one of them. For that, he actually likes taking on the future Hall of Famer.
"Yeah, I do (enjoy playing against someone like Garnett) because I know that if I don't come ready to play, I know that he's going to embarrass me," he said. "I would never, ever go out before a game before I play KG. I would never ever. I'm always ready to play when I play Boston because I know a guy like that, if you don't come ready to play, he will embarrass you."
Garnett and Noah are driven apart by a commonality. They just want to win and their opponent, whether it is a childhood idol or longtime friend, is in their way. Noah doesn't expect to grab coffee with Garnett and get together in the offseason -- "Cool? No, he wants to win and I want to be win. I don't think it will ever be cool," he said -- but now he is at a point in his career where he is able to appreciate their differences that make them similar.
"We've had a lot of battles, but I respect his grind," Noah said. "I respect the way he competes."

Oh, that was hilarious!
Again, loved the Marty Quote at the beginning. Believe it or not, I would be interested in the cheese dream (it sounds invigorating! :D). Remus' dream was just way out there, though, highly realistic.
Oh, James, he says, in a voice which is rather more high pitched than I remember, but unmistakably his. Its Ev Lily, James! Oh, James, hold me! Hold me, you big hunk of man!
I didnt know you thought of James that way, but Im sure ... um ... oh, the whole school would be pleased to find out, wouldnt they? Sirius Black, self proclaimed ladies schmooze, whatever that is, carries a burning flame for his best friend and Quidditch star, James Pot
Now these are my two favorite quotes from the beginning. So utterly funny; I love Remus' secret witty side. :D
One down one hundred and ninety nine to go!
Marty is so dedicated!
Was that Sirius Black, James Potter and their friends just now?
Why, yes, I say, smiling at the boy. It was.
Oh, the boy says, smiling back. Then can I sign whatever it is they did?
I blink. Do you want to know about the issue youre raising awareness for?
No thanks, he says. I just want to sign it.
Trendsetters. Dont you just love them?
Now that was too funny. Now if only we could get trendsetters to gain some intelligence...:D
Great chapter! I can't wait for the next update. Do I see a little Marty/Remus action on the horizon? Probably not this early, but one can hope. Best wishes! :D
Author's Response: Well ... time shall tell. Thanks for the review, it was great! I love to know what people think of each bits, so thanks very much. It should be updated soon ... ish.
that was so amazing and they got marty attention which is good but she acts like she has major ocd with the mauraduers
Author's Response: Yeah ... she really does. =D She just finds them fascinating, and (let's be honest) doesn't have any real friends, so has a lot of free time (even with her various campaigns). I mean, if you had to be obssessed with anyone, you'd choose the Marauders, right?
ahahaha this is very funny, sorry I didn't comment the first chapter, i am really busy with school and stuff, but yay Remus!!!
Author's Response: It's fine - believe me, I understand! Thanks for taking the time to review, and yay Remus indeed!
I feel so bad for Marty. Is she Luna's mom? I luv ur story! Sirius is just hilarious in it. Keep writing!
Author's Response: No, she's not Luna's Mum - the thought crossed my mind, but I'm pretty sure she's not. But she certainly has Luna-like tendancies! Just because characters have similar traits, doesn't mean they're related, though, it's just a coincidence. Thanks for reviewing, though!
I just love this story. It's such a great chapter. I love the part that happened in the dorms with Sirius talking to James in his sleep.
Author's Response: =D Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review.
Author's Response: Thanks!
I loved the interview at the beginning. It gives an excellent insight to Marty's character, as well as her excerpts.
Which brings me to my next favorite thing. I like how you switched the POV. Marty's...er...Martiness is now shown (and definitely makes me want to read more) and Remus' wittiness is quite refreshing. Which brings me to my favorite quote:
Wormtail! he cries, a little too loudly, standing up in a eureka! moment of clarity. Well done, Sirius. You get fifty Nutter Points.
And now everyone I know will be given a certain amount of Nutter Points... :D
Great job. I can't wait for the next chapter to be validated. Best wishes!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the interview at the beginning! There will be interviews / notes at the beginning of every chapter, sometimes relating to what will happen / is happening, some just random filler (hopefully of the amusing kind). I'm also very happy to hear you liked the "Martiness" (excellent way of putting it) and Remus' witticisms, which I'm sure he thought all the time, just never said aloud. Hope to see you next chapter, anyway!
You never fail to make me laugh. Marty is amazingly developed already, being weird and stalkerish, but just enough to make me love her instead of running away. And Horny ... priceless.
Well done! I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: *grins inanely* Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Weird, stalkerish but loveable is exactly what I wanted from Marty. So yay!
I am so sorry I havent been here yet. I have been working on my Challenge entry, and reading a lot of other Claw stories. However, I am here now, and I will impart my exalted opinions on your chapter. *giggles *
Do you realize the name changed from Mary to Marty? Or is that the Interviewer named Marty? Im just a tad confused by that, but to continue
Working for the Cause, and being slightly flighty, so far, is the description of at least one girl in every school in every country, in the world. You are doing a great job with her.
The Remus part was so funny I could not stop laughing. I say again, you write the Marauders so well and I adore the ways and means you employ to have James rhapsodise, and Sirius acting like a fool, Remus, so sweet and smart, and Git, gitty.
Not that Im a stalker or anything, Hilarious.
All right, I think I get it now, Marty was interviewing Mary. Sometimes I embarrass myself with my denseness.
Ambereyes? Snarler? Psychotic oh yeah. Fleas, oh I think I need to laugh for a moment Ok Im back. I love how they came up with the nicknames. MWPP, are the infamous Marauders, and you have given plausible explanations as to how they came to have them.
Well do you really need me to say it? You do? OK fine, I loved it, and I am looking forward to reading more of it. And you know it is going on my fast expanding favorites list. One other thing Claws for the Cup! See ya next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, the Mary/Marty thing is a bit confusing ... Mary is a canon character, we know from DH that she was a girl in the same year as Lily, and I'm pretty sure she was Gryffindor. And when I was trying to think of a name for Marty, and came up (obviously) with Marty. Then later, I realised Marty and Mary were kind of similar, but ... I dunno, I couldn't think of her as anything else. Anyway. I'm glad you liked it! Go 'Claws! Thanks for your review!
Marty should get together with Xenophilious Lovegood!
Author's Response: *Gasp*! You picked up on the Lovegood factor! I deliberatly made Marty a little bit Luna-ish! Yay!
Author's Response: Thanks
Oh my gosh, this was so funny! Loved the way you introduced the characters and how they got their names, and I think you've got Remus' character down pat. Please DO NOT abandon this story, no matter what! :D
Author's Response: I won't - I promise. I never post a fic unless I fully intend to complete it. So don't worry on that score! Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it!
Why yes, I do like this! Remus's part is very nicley done. All of the maraudes are in character. Good work- keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! And that the Marauders are in character - It's one thing I always try to achieve! So thanks!
oh god this fanfic is so hilarious please continue and seriously sirius needs to watch his tongue cause that girl hears everything
Author's Response: Oh yes, she certainly does! I'm glad you liked it! =D
Yay, another story! I'm so ecited for this one. I hope you will continue soon!
Author's Response: I will! I'm glad you're looking forward to it! So am I!
The story was extremely funny especially the parts from Lupin's point of view.
Author's Response: I'm glad you thought so! There will be more soon ...

Ireland keen to keep UK in single market regardless of EU referendum vote
Ireland will back keeping Britain in the single market even if it votes to leave the EU next week, the Republic's Finance Minister Michael Noonan said in Luxembourg yesterday.
Opening the door to a post-Brexit free trade agreement just days away from the knife-edge vote means Mr Noonan runs the risk of making Prime Minister David Cameron's effort to shore up faltering support for the Remain camp even harder.
Mr Noonan played down earlier tough comments from Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble, who previously said the UK would be locked out of the common trade area if people voted for a Brexit.
With less than a week to go until the crucial referendum, Mr Noonan said Ireland was "unashamedly" of the view that Britain must remain part of the EU.
He also predicted that voters would ultimately choose to remain in the bloc despite opinion polls suggesting momentum for the Leave camp.
But maintaining trade with Britain was vital to Ireland regardless of the result, he added.
Germany's Mr Schauble previously warned that a vote to leave would mean that Britain would not be able to continue to benefit from the single market in the same way that Norway and Switzerland currently do.
"What Mr Schauble says is legally and technically correct, but I don't think it is the end position," Mr Noonan said ahead of a meeting of Eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg.
He added that Ireland would be in favour of allowing the UK single market access because of the important trade relationship between the two countries.
He explained that Ireland would also want to ensure a common travel area remains, but he warned there were no guarantees. "There's a two-year period to make any alternative arrangements, but the fact that they leave means they leave," he said.

The former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is already planning his future at Manchester City according to the Express.
The daily newspaper states that Guardiola has supplied the club hierarchy with a list of the players he wants to bring in. The Express goes onto state that Borussia the Dortmund's midfielder Ilkay Gundogan tops the list for the current Bayern Munich manager.
Gundogan has also been linked with a move to Liverpool since the appointment of Jugen Klopp earlier this season. Sportmediaset [as per the Daily Star] have reported that the Red's are eyeing a £22 million move for the deep-lying playmaker.
Both United and Liverpool have received a boost in the race to sign Gundogan after Serie A giants Juventus cooled their interest in the Germany international.
Gundgoan was previously identified as a priority target by Juve but have subsequently denied interest in the 25-year-old. Dortmund recently rejected a €30 million bid from Juventus for the midfield playmaker according to Goal.
The deep-lying playmaker has five assists and two goals for Dortmund in 28 appearances this season.

APMA 2040 tracks the progress of eight podiatric medical students as they navigate their way through school. Times have changed, and many podiatrists who have been in practice for 20 or 30 years may not fully understand the modern struggles of tomorrow's podiatric leaders. What drives them? What obstacles do they face, and how will they overcome them? What do they worry about? How are they handling the transition from classroom to clerkship? What do they do to unwind? What is happening today that will mold the average APMA member 25 years from now?
The individuals chosen for this project represent a broad spectrum of backgrounds and experiences, but the journey that each took up to this point now places them on the same road toward becoming tomorrow's podiatrist. Please meet the future of podiatry, the students of APMA 2040.

Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El Sheikh is a big personality. Spooling along Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, it runs from Nabq Bay in the north right down to Maya Bay in the south. Along the way it takes in Na'ama Bay, where the first hotel popped up back in the Eighties. And that pretty much covers everything – designer malls, electrifying nightlife and a whole lot of Red Sea.
Families flock to Sharm el Sheikh's great value all-inclusive complexes – some complete with their own water parks, while couples can select from a wide choice of luxury hotels with gourmet dining and on-site spas. There is a Sharm el Sheikh hotel for everyone. As well as world-class diving and snorkelling, visitors to Sharm el Sheikh can enjoy watersports, boat trips, golf and desert quad-biking. Revellers head to Naama Bay, the pedestrianised resort hub thats packed with restaurants, bars and clubs including Hard Rock Cafe and Pacha.
Long sandy beaches and beautiful landscapes await you on your holiday to Sharm el Sheikh. Located on the southern point of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, holidays in Sharm el Sheikh are really popular with families, couples and holidaymakers of all ages.
There are several markets in Sharm el Sheikh, with the main one being the Old Town Market held Monday to Thursday in the Old Town. The area is not everyone's idea of an enjoyable shopping experience as the stall traders and shop keepers can be very pushy in getting you to buy their products. However, you are also actively encouraged to haggle, which means you can get a real bargain if you try – the perfect way to complement cheap holidays to Sharm el Sheikh! Expect to see lots of different items on offer too, from strong-smelling oil-based perfumes to cheap leather goods and gold jewellery. And of course, how could we forget the beautifully tailored rugs? Egyptians have got rug-making down to a fine art; just make sure you barter with them first to get an elegant rug for a great price. Cotton, silk, and herbs & spices are also very high quality here, and offer seriously good value.
Things to see & do
Water sports and snorkelling are extremely popular in Sharm el Sheikh, thanks to its clear waters and teeming coral reefs. On dry land, try desert quad biking, camel treks and star gazing. Make the sunrise climb to the top of Mount Sinai the 500 steps to reach the summit are worth it for the view.
Most of Sharm el Sheikhs entertainment is fairly lowkey and hotelbased and includes dazzling bellydancing shows and live Egyptian music. Some hotels offer other options, including casinos, bowling and even an ice rink. Naama Bays pedestrianised streets are lined with a great choice of bars and clubs, including a Hard Rock Caf and a Pacha, meaning its becoming increasingly popular with young and lively visitors.
Food & Drinks
From Egyptian cuisine to fast food, Sharm el Sheikh has plenty of places to eat. Many visitors choose a valueformoney allinclusive package and eat at their hotel, but there are plenty of restaurants to choose from too. Naama Bay has a mixture of local establishments and chain names youll know. Although Egypt is a Muslim country, alcohol is available in cafestyle bars, hotels and many restaurants. A favourite Egyptian pastime is wiling away the hours in a coffeehouse (ahwa) over a game of backgammon and a sheesha waterpipe. Tea is served in glasses and comes dark and impossibly sweet; the same is true with coffee, which is taken in the Turkish style.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
14:00 31 July 2012
The Queen has expressed her delight at playing a cameo role for the James Bond stunt that opened the London Olympics 2012. The stunt, which pleasantly surprised over a billion viewers all over the world, saw the Queen in her first screen part alongside the current 007 star, Daniel Craig.
The Queen recounted how she was approached with the idea last year and was 'very happy' to agree to it. She had a single demand: to choose her own outfit. She decided on a peach-colored cocktail dress by Angela Kelly.
Danny Boyle, director for the opening sequence, described the Queen as 'a good actor' and said that she was 'very helpful and very sharp'. "You don't have to tell her something twice, she picks it up straight away, about cameras and angles. She was very gracious in giving us access to Buckingham Palace."
The Queen is also said to have joked with actor Craig during filming: "One take, Mr. Bond." Craig simply replied, "Yes, Ma'am."
In the final result, agent 007 was seen walking into the Palace to pick up the Queen, who greeted him with 'Good evening, Mr. Bond'. The pair then boarded a helicopter that flew across London all the way to the Olympic stadium. The final scene showed Bond and a stuntman dressed in the same dress as the Queen, parachuting to the ground, then the Queen, in the same Angela Kelly dress, appeared in flesh at the arena escorted by Prince Philip. Her entrance was perfectly timed to allow the audience to enjoy the moment of the 'Queen' jumping from the helicopter.
