Jingle Babes to laugh all the way into CityStageNovember 28, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
On Dec. 12, the Jingle Babes, as they are calling themselves for their holiday show, will still be "bitchin'" up a storm at CityStage as they take on the festive winter season with their girl-group harmonies and clever comedy. Accompanying themselves on guitar, mandolin, ukulele, bass, piano, and the lively Irish Bodhran, the performing gal pals will come together once again in Springfield taking turns in the spotlight filling it with endearing songs, shtick, and stories.
"One of the booking themes for this year is bringing back our audience favorites. The Four Bitchin' Babes are very high on that list. They have a loyal following here in Western Massachusetts, and it's been a lot of fun to present different shows. We are especially looking forward to this holiday show during this season of giving. I hope our patrons will participate in our giving tree that benefits Friends of the Homeless. We are encouraging our patrons to bring a donation of new winter boots to the show," said Tina D'Agostino, president of CityStage.
Blending their signature brand of hilarious original music – the hallmark of their many other shows – with those festive familiar hits for audiences to sing along with, the Jingle Babes will serve up some "classy" caroling that celebrates the season of light from the Christmas tree light to the Menorah's candlelight.
"We noticed we weren't doing much in the way of touring in December," said Sally Fingerett, one-fourth of the Jingle Babes about putting together a holiday show that would keep them on the road.
"Frankly, it's a babes show for fans of the babes. We love our holiday show. It's something different for us, and we get a chance to play and be really musical. It's also fun to let loose with some of our parodies,"
Among the four performers, Fingerett noted she is "the Jewish kid who just happens to have been born on Christmas day."
"The other Babes were stupefied that I didn't know Christmas carols. They had to teach them to me. I also did some of my own research and realized why there really aren't a lot of Hanukah songs out there. The reason is that all of the great Christmas songs were written by Jews from 'Winter Wonderland' to 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' to 'Silver Bells,'" said Fingerett.
"You would think that their mothers would have made them write something to bring home to dinner. So, I just had to write my own Hanukah hit for the show, which is called 'The Dradel Do Over,'" she added.
Fingerett noted the show is "approximately 70 percent humor and 30 percent classic carols done in a classy manner" and said they will also be laughing and singing about about trying to find your car at the mall after shopping, what Jews do on Christmas day, and Christmas sweaters.
In addition to Fingerett, the "babes," for short, include Debi Smith, Deirdre Flint, and Marcy Marxer. They have released nine recordings and a full length concert DVD.

Joe Bonamassa to perform Wednesday at Springfield Symphony HallNovember 20, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
Lauded as one of the world's greatest guitarists, Joe Bonamassa will return to Springfield Symphony Hall on Wednesday in a special engagement for area fans.
When Bonamassa began his summer and fall tour this year, it was to promote his most recent DVD and Blu-ray release "Tour De Force – Live In London." Now, he's also promoting his newest compact disc, "Different Shades of Blue," released in September.
He will perform a new show for his Springfield audience, including an entire acoustic set featuring international musicians, followed by his critically acclaimed electric set.
Bonamassa's career began onstage opening for B.B. King in 1989, when he was only 12 years old. Today, considered by many critics as a guitarist prodigy, he continues to evolve as a singer-songwriter who has released 16 solo albums in the last 13 years, all on his own label, J&R.
Bonamassa last visited Springfield in November 2012 where he played to a sold-out, two-hour show at the 2,600-seat Symphony Hall.
In an interview with The Republican, the popular artist described how he enjoyed playing "smaller" halls as opposed to stadiums.
"People think I prefer to play small venues. I don't think they're small at all. I think they're good size venues, especially for the type of music we're doing," Bonamassa said. "When I look out to the places I play now, I look at the same places where I opened for Peter Frampton and B.B. King – these great, old theaters like the Fox in Detroit, the Chicago Theater and all these great performing arts centers across the country, and they all hold on average 1,800 to 3,500 seats, some maybe more, and I don't look at that as a small venue."

Grammy-winning Tavares to perform at CityStage on Friday nightNovember 18, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
Winners of a Grammy for "More Than A Woman," their contribution to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack – one of the best-selling albums of all time – Tavares will bring their mix of up-tempo and laidback smooth soul sounds to CityStage on Friday.
"Our song on the album was a product of chemistry going on at the time. Al Coury, who was with our label at Capitol, switched to RSO Records, the label which released the soundtrack album. Our manager remained friendly with Al, who came to him with an offer from the Bee Gees to be a part of the record. We had just performed with the Bee Gees at Madison Square Garden where they asked us back to their dressing room. We hung out with them and they told us they had a song for us that we might be interested in," said Perry "Tiny" Tavares.
Before they became Tavares, the brothers signed with Capitol Records in 1968 as Chubby & The Turnpikes and began to attract national attention. It wasn't until changing their name to Tavares and returning to Capitol in 1973 that the hits began to mount up for them.
Tavares scored their first big hit with "Check It Out" and then embarked on a decade-long run at the top of the charts with hits such as "She's Gone," "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" and "Whodunit." The group was recognized as pioneers in the evolution of R&B from the soul era into the modern funk and disco movements of the '70s and '80s. They placed eight singles on Billboard's Top 40 – 12 on the R&B Top 10, including three Number One hits, as well as three Dance Chart toppers with two at Number One, and also had 10 hit albums.
This year Tavares were honored for their musicianship by being inducted in May into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame. Founded in 2011, the nonprofit organization is dedicated to celebrating, honoring, and preserving the legacy of Rhode Island musicians, educators and industry professionals who have made significant contributions to both the national and Rhode Island music scene.
"Being inducted into the Hall of Fame was a great privilege. We were raised in Rhode Island, although some of us were born in New Bedford, we still grew up in Providence. It's a special treat to know our peers and others we have known along the way recommended us for induction. And, it's nice to know that those in the organization felt we were deserving of it…. it's nice to have someone else put you on a pedestal and then move on from it," said Tavares.
He noted the group is "looking forward to seeing Springfield again." "We still have a lot of family in Springfield…..nieces and nephews who pretty much grew up and were born there. And we have fond memories of once performing in area New England night clubs, lounges and hotels," he said.

Kevin MaC return to CityStage by popular demand on Nov. 20November 11, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
After bringing his eclectic country sounds to CityStage in April, Kevin MaC will return to the Springfield stage on Thursday, Nov. 20, with some new and familiar songs.
"There was a great response from the show and they wanted me back as soon as possible. I'm gearing up for more college tours next spring after taking some time off for the holidays. Right now I'm in Nashville where I just did a show with Rascal Flatts," said MaC, who will return with his acoustic guitar in hand.
Although his roots are in country music and his original music is decidedly country, MaC puts his own spin on hip hop, classic rock and sometimes even a boy band hit or two. He has coined the term "Southern Swag" to describe his unique brand of music, calling it "a cool country sound where hip-hop and country styles combine to create a fresh, sexy vibe."
He has opened shows for such well-respected acts as Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Phil Vassar, Darryl Worley, Trace Adkins, Colt Ford, LeAnn Rimes, Kip Moore, The Band Perry, Missy Elliott, Blacksreet, T. Mills, Timbaland, J. Cole and Ashanti.
The rising star noted he was happy to be able to share some good news with his fans.
"This year I signed my first major publishing deal with producer Dr. Luke's Prescription Songs in Los Angeles. I want to get a record deal and it's an honor to be associated with a great publishing company. They have been treating me amazingly well, and are helping to guide my career and opening doors for me," said MaC.
The country artist said he is working on new songs and building up a catalog….songs for myself and other artists. I worked with Fox Sports recently on NASCAR stuff and now I'm just pitching my songs to a lot of different shows like Nashville on ABC," said MaC.
"But, to be honest with you, I'm not stressing about all of this. I live my life and try to write good material. I want to be good at what I do and make people happy with my music. If things happen for me, great, but I'm not going to let it ruin my life if it doesn't," he added.
MaC, who will be accompanied on mandolin in Springfield by musician friend Brandon Snellings, said among the new songs he'll be performing in Springfield will be:
"Kick It with You" – MaC described his new tune as "Beach Boy influenced" and about living at Virginia Beach for the past six years and kicking back with a girl and hanging at the beach. MaC noted that he will be leaving Virginia Beach in January to further his career in Nashville.
"Millionaire" – MaC said the new song, which he wrote with Andre de Roberts, centers around someone who doesn't need a lot of money to feel like a millionaire because "I got you girl."
"We love coming up here and are looking forward to putting on a good time for everyone, and I hope people who come out to the show will bring a friend with them," said MaC.

Bobby Collins to open Bud Light presents Stand Up Comedy Series at CityStageNovember 5, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
When Grammy-nominated Comedian Bobby Collins comes to town, it's both a lovefest and a laughfest. He loves coming to Springfield and his longtime followers never miss a chance to see their favorite comedian who returns to CityStage on Nov. 15 with a whole new set of yucks.
"Bobby Collins has become a true CityStage favorite. What's great about his annual return to Springfield is that we see a lot of new faces as well as diehard Bobby fans at each show. His comedic style and physical humor is so easy to love. He's a great performer and a very likable person, too. That's evident by the line at the merchandise table at the end of the night," said Tina D'Agostino, president of CityStage & Symphony Hall.
Collins noted people need a good laugh these days and he's happy to provide them with plenty.
"I gotta tell ya, people in this country are angry and upset, so when a comic comes to town, they just want to laugh and get away from it all," said Collins, who delights in giving reporters their own show during interviews. The popular comedian, who resides in California, but is quick to tell you he is a native New Yorker, derives much of his comedy from people and what is in the news.
"People crack me up when I'm out and about on the streets everywhere. They make me cry with laughter when I hear what sometimes comes out of their mouths," said Collins.
And, what comes out of the mouths of television broadcasters makes him cringe, too, and put a comedic spin on the news.
"I'm not a TV guy. I was born and raised in Swansea, and my dad used to make us turn the television off telling saying it would 'make you stupid.' But, when I was in Cleveland this year, I turned the television on," said Collins.
"In 20 minutes time I heard about war, disease and racism. There was talk about the Ebola virus, the lost Malaysian airliner, Donald Sterling, and Hamas, which I thought was something you had with pita bread. And, about Ebola, we have rats in New York that have more carcinogens that can kill you. They wear leather jackets and can hold back subway trains," said Collins, who noted he turned the television off because it scared him.
Collins was literally born into comedy when his father named him for his favorite comedian, Bob Hope. In the 1980s, he left a lucrative position as vice president of Calvin Klein to pursue his dream and ended up working alongside such comedy legends as Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. Over the years, the popular comedian has hosted VH-1′s "Stand Up Spotlight" and has toured with Cher, Julio Iglesias, Dolly Parton, and Tony Bennett, among others.
He has released six comedy CDs, including the most recent "I'm on the Boat." His latest DVD, "Telling It Like It Is," was followed last May with the paperback book "Bobby Collins On the Inside: Witisms & Wisdomisms."

'100 Years of Broadway' headed to Symphony HallOctober 21, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
"Tell your readers it's just as if I'm throwing a party at my house and the audience is invited over for an intimate evening of music, no matter how large an audience we're playing to," said Berg.
Ten years after the show's debut, Berg said the audiences keep coming back for more.
"There are a couple of reasons why. I always get comments after the show from people who tell me the songs bring back memories for them….it might be that they saw the show on Broadway or that their parents played the album in the house when they were young," said Berg.
"Also, I think people appreciate the fact that Broadway is truly an American art form. We stole from everyone, it's an amalgamation of so many things from tin pan alley to vaudeville to opera and more. People love to gel stories with music, and eventually people like Jerome Kern and Rogers and Hammerstein took it to a new level when they figured out how to forward a plot with songs," he added.
"100 Years of Broadway" recreates the greatest moments from the finest shows of the century, featuring the actual stars of shows such as "The Phantom of the Opera," "Les Miserables," "CATS," "Jesus Christ Superstar," and "Jekyll & Hyde."
Among the scheduled performers at the Saturday show will be:
Jeannette Bayardelle – Bayardelle starred in the revival production of "Hair" on Broadway and in "The Color Purple" on Broadway. She has also shared the stage with artists such as Donnie McClurkin and Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child. According to Berg, audiences will hear Bayardelle performing additional Broadway songs as "And I Am Telling You" from "Dreamgirls" and "Natural Woman" from "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical."
Richard Todd Adams – Adams, who holds a Master's in Music from The Juilliard School, made his Broadway debut in 2005 in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Woman in White." He has played the Phantom and Raoul in "The Phantom of the Opera" on its tours of the United States, as well as the Los Angeles company of "Phantom." Berg said audiences can expect to hear such songs from Adams as "The Music of the Night" from "Phantom" and others from "Les Miserables."
Rita Harvey – Harvey is the principle soprano in Berg's Broadway salute and the producer's wife. She made her Broadway debut in the lead role of Christine Daee in "The Phantom of the Opera" and performed on Broadway in the role of Hodel in the latest revival of "Fiddler on the Roof." In addition to paying tribute to her Broadway roles, Berg said his wife will also be singing some of the "great soprano material" from "The Sound of Music."
Berg serves as narrator of the show.
"This isn't just a concert where people get up and sing. I narrate the show with historical information and behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the songs and performers. It's not just great entertainment, but a love letter to the history of Broadway musicals," said Berg.

California, Montreal guitar trios to team up at CityStageOctober 7, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
"We had heard about the Montreal Guitar Trio for a long time, and they were aware of us. It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed. A few years ago we were at a booking conference in Oregon and heard them play, and they heard us. Just by coincidence, we were all on the same flight going to Chicago and we got to talking and there was an interest expressed in getting together. Both of our agencies loved the idea and immediately started booking some shows together for us," said Paul Richards of the California Guitar Trio.
Their coming together was a marriage made in heaven.
"When we got together for the first time in the rehearsal studio, it was as if we had been playing together for years. It was amazing how well we all blended together. The Montreal Guitar Trio come from a classical background and play nylon-stringed guitars, while we play on steel-stringed-guitars. Each offer a uniquely different sound, and when the three and three are blended together it's just a beautiful thing and I don't think its ever been done before to the extent we are doing it in this show," Richards said.
The California Guitar Trio's multi-genre explorations have driven 14 albums and nearly 1,500 gigs across its 22-year career. Comprising Bert Lams of Affligem, Belgium; Hideyo Moriya of Chiba, Japan, and Richards of Utah, the group criss crosses the universes of rock, jazz, world music, surf music, and classical music in its performances and recordings.
The trio met while participating in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses in 1987. They first toured together as part of Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists, an orchestra of acoustic players that served as exponents of the King Crimson founder's teachings, compositions, and performance approach. In 1991, they founded the California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles, which initially gained notoriety opening for the likes of King Crimson, John McLaughlin, and David Sylvian. Their music has even been used to wake-up the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
For over 15 years, the Montreal Guitar Trio have been winning over audiences around the world. The trio, composed of guitarists Marc Morin, Sébastien Dufour and Glenn Lévesque, has given hundreds of concerts in some of the most prestigious venues across North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, including the BB King Blues Club in New York, the Rundetårnet in Copenhagen, and the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
The Oct. 16 show will see the acts performing independently in the first half of the program, followed by a breathtaking six-guitar format. They play arrangements of each other's material, as well as innovative takes on rock standards.
"I think people will find that there is something for everyone in our performance with the Montreal Guitar Trio, Those who have never seen an instrumental guitar show will usually leave the show with an appreciation some portion of the group repertoire, since we play such diverse and different," Richards said.
"We find that our audience is comprised of everyone from little kids to folks in their 70s and 80s. During a recent tour, a woman in her 90s came up to me and said she had never heard any instrumental guitar music before the show, and how much she enjoyed it," he added.
The guitarist noted even though the show is predominantly instrumental, one of the members of the Montreal Guitar Trio sings and will likely add vocals to George Harrison's "While My guitar Gently Weeps," Richards noted.
"I also like to feel that we sing through our guitars, that the singing quality comes through when we play them," Richards said.

Jekyll & Hyde to put a chill in the air on Oct. 10 at Symphony HallOctober 1, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
The play hits close to home with former Southborough resident Laura Helm starring in the role of prostitute Lucy Harris, a nightclub singer at the Red Brick where she becomes entangled in the Jekyll and Hyde web.
"I feel very blessed to get the lead female role in my very first national tour. I'm so grateful to be working alongside a wonderful cast," Helm said.
"While I was auditioning for the role, I was also performing in a play at The Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire, called 'My Mixtape: Sounds of the 80s.' It was quite a drive going from New Hampshire to the audition in New York City, then driving back to New Hampshire to perform in the show," she added, about the 10-hour round-trip commute.
The gothic musical thriller brings to life Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless novella, concerning the case of a Victorian England doctor and his all too ill-fated experiment, which attempts to separate good and evil within a living human subject, himself.
The current touring production, presented by Touring Theatre Associates LLC, is a re-imagined, sensual, psychological thriller – less like the more recent rock-oriented version starring "American Idol's" Constantine Maroulis and closer to the original production –which includes such audience musical favorites as "Someone Like You," "In His Eyes," and its stellar standout, "This is the Moment."
"For my college audition, my voice teacher picked 'Someone Like You' for me to perform. It's one of the most iconic songs from 'Jekyll & Hyde' and it's been a dream role of mine to play Lucy. But I never thought the first time would be at this point in my career on my first-ever national tour," Helm said.
Born in Huntington Beach, California, Helms moved with her family at the age of nine to Southborough. She started dancing seriously while in high school and performed in several choirs and numerous musicals before deciding that a life in theater was her calling. She attended The Hartt School of Music in Connecticut, where she earned her BFA in musical theater in May 2012. Today, based out of New York City, her parents still reside in Southborough.
"Jekyll & Hyde" made its Broadway debut at the Plymouth Theater in 1997 and ran for more than 1,500 performances. Originally conceived for the stage by Frank Wildhorn and Steve Cuden, the play features original music by Wildhorn, a book by Leslie Bricusse, and lyrics by Wildhorn, Bricusse and Cuden. The current touring production is directed by Paul Stancato with musical direction by Jeffrey Campos.

John Denver tribute returning to CityStageSeptember 30, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
But, when Vigil returns to CityStage on Oct. 11, it will be minus a special friend he had been bringing along to perform on stage with him – Steve Weisberg, Denver's lead guitarist, who passed away in May after losing his battle with cancer.
"I know that Steve will be with me in spirit while I'm in Springfield. He had such a huge influence on me and helped me tremendously in many ways both on stage and in my personal life. I can truly say my life is richer for having known and worked with him," said Vigil.
Prior to joining up with Weisberg, Vigil has been doing the tribute show alone for about seven year.
With two of his favorite musicians gone, Vigil said he now has something special to remember them by.
"Steve left me in his will a unique tour pendant that John had designed and given to all the members in his band on their 1975 tour. On the back of the pendant is written, 'I love you, John.' It's a very special gift," said Vigil.
In reflecting on his upcoming performance in Springfield, Vigil offered his thoughts on his Top 3 John Denver songs performed in his tribute show.
1. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" – "I'd have to say it's the most thrilling thing that happens to me on stage, when some 400 to 500 people are all singing 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' along with me. It's as if we all become one and nothing else matters in with world as we sing together and have a great time. The song is a favorite of mine and I can relate to it, it's very relaxing. It was a great anthem for John and I'm sure it was among his top favorites."
2. "Sunshine on My Shoulders" – "This is a song I never really played on stage. It's a great one, and people certainly remember it, but it is so slow, and there were already slow numbers in my set. After I met Steve (lll) he asked me about the song and why it wasn't in my set, so I explained why to him and told him that I did know how to play it. He told me that it really needed to be on my set list because it touched so many people and was just so heartwarming."
3. "Annie's Song" – "It's tough to select what would be my number three song because I have so many favorites, but it would have to be "Annie's Song," which John wrote for his wife. There's such a beautiful melody in the song, and you can tell that John really deeply loved Annie. But, John was on the road a lot and it was tough for him to be away from her. So, there were many ups and downs in their marriage which eventually resulted in divorce. John never got over Annie and I heard he was going to get back with her before he died."

The Midtown Men pick 5 favorite hits from upcoming Symphony Hall showSeptember 10, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
The Midtown Men are the four stars from the original cast of "Jersey Boys" – Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Aware-nominee J. Robert Spencer – whose concert tour reunites the four stars from the original cast of Broadway's "Jersey Boys."
Among the popular groups and individual artists the "men" will pay tribute to are The Beatles, The Rascals, The Turtles, the Motown sound, The Four Seasons and many others.
Midtown Man Daniel Reichard said it was an honor to have been in a Broadway production like 'Jersey Boys' that was turned into a big screen movie,"
Asked what his five top songs that will be sung at their Springfield show, Reichard offered up his choices:
"Groovin'" by The Young Rascals – "Just listening to the song harkens back to the laid back, feel good vibe of the '60s. We just have a lot of fun with the song and kick back with it. We've gotten to know The Rascals over the years and have performed with some of their members. In fact, their guitarist Gene Cornish comes up on stage to perform with us on our PBS special that will air sometime in December. We just have a lot of fun with the song and kick back with it."
"You're All I Need To Get By" by Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terrell – "This song is the climax of our pride and joy – our Motown sequence in the show. It has become an anthem, a rally, for not only our connection with our own families and loved ones, but it is also an anthem for our group and unifies us every time we sing the song. There is such a passion heard throughout the entire song, which is really about sticking things out with people you care about. As a group, we've been through so much in the past decade and it's an affirmation every time we perform the song on stage that we are still giving it our all."
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross – "We have a new arrangement for this song and all of The Midtown Men's different personalities are represented when we perform it. We see 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough" as one of those songs that unifies a crowd. It's such an iconic song, and when we sing something like that is means so much to the many people who have a deep human connection to it. It's an honor to sing it for everyone and for them to hear it a different way."
"Be My Baby" by The Ronettes – "This time around on tour we're having a lot of fun with our set list and have added many new songs that Springfield audiences, who saw us last time around, will not have heard. We're pushing the boundaries and are covering the many girl groups from the '60s like The Ronettes, and not just singing guy group songs. I think audiences will enjoy hearing this popular girl group song with a Midtown Men twist."
"December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" by The Four Seasons – "This is one of the first five numbers we perform from 'Jersey Boys.' Our show has always been about singing songs by our favorite groups of the '60s, and we take great pride in bringing this song that we sang every night in 'Jersey Boys' to our audiences today. Although the song actually came out in the '70s, it's still relevant for us and our new show. It was my song to sing in 'Jersey Boys' and on the award-winning album from the Broadway musical."

Audience favorites, new offerings to make up CityStage and Symphony Hall 2014-2015 seasonJune 17, 2014
(As originally seen on MassLive by Keith O'Connor)
When CityStage and Symphony Hall begins its 2014-2015 season in September, they will be bringing back some crowd pleasers from years gone by alongside many new shows from Jingle Babes for the holidays to a mop top tribute called Yesterday & Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience.
"We are giving our loyal patrons the return engagements they have been asking for, but we are also bringing in new and unique entertainment like the vocaldente group from Germany and The Wellington National Ukelele Orchestra," said Tina D'Agostino, president of CityStage and Symphony Hall.
"I'm also thrilled that we finally landed a date on the Love, Loss and What I Wore tour. I saw the show a few years ago in New York and thought it was perfect for CityStage. I've been making offers on it for a couple of years, hoping to bring it to Springfield ever since I saw it. It's so rewarding when things finally work out, especially when the audiences are receptive," she added.
D'Agostino said she is excited about the eclectic mix of shows, noting comedies and tributes are very popular at CityStage.
"I am looking forward to the return engagement of The Male Intellect: an oxymoron? and CityStage's favorite Elvis, Matt Lewis, and Ted Vigil who delivers an amazing tribute to John Denver. All of those shows had great box office records, and we've had people come back time and time again, but these are also great shows for a first time experience at the venue. The Male Intellect is a funny show about relationships and really gets to the root of what women want. Some of us on staff still quote our favorite lines from the show, it's that memorable and incredibly funny," she said.
According to D'Agostino, CityStage is "a versatile space, and a great place to see live music, comedy and theater."
"At the start of the season, the focus is truly on music. Guitar aficionados will have the opportunity to see the 'phenomensemble' of The California Guitar Trio and Montery Guitar Trio performing original compositions and new arrangements of rock, world, jazz and classical music. Then, the following month we are bringing in Tavares, one of the most memorable soul groups of the 70s and 80s," she said.
D'Agostino noted the new season is going to be a crucial year for Broadway at Symphony Hall.
"Many touring productions simply won't fit in the building, but the two that we've booked this year, 'Jekyll & Hyde' and 'Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story,' have played there before and were amazing shows. I am hopeful that we can continue to bring in large productions like this, and that these shows attract a lot of people," she said.
For those who want a little more variety rolled into one show, Symphony Hall will play host to a couple of concerts featuring the music of Broadway and popular hits from the 1960s. "Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway" showcases the most popular Broadway songs, from classics to contemporary and The Midtown Men are four stars from the original cast of "Jersey Boys" returning to Symphony Hall.
The new season wil also include family-friendly programming during the school vacation weeks. In addition to The Magic of Bill Blagg in February at CityStage with matinee and evening performances, there will be a matinee performance of the Popovich Comedy Pet Theatre at Symphony Hall in April.
"Personally, I am most looking forward to The Wellington National Ukelele Orchestra, I think it's going to be a very unique and uplifting show that is also family friendly," said D'Agostino. She said they are also looking at other concerts and will be announcing their stand-up comedy series later in the summer.

Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Quesadillas are rich in flavor thanks to the slow-cooked onions, pungent cheese, and grilled tortillas.
All You JUNE 2013
1. Warm oil in a large heavy skillet over low heat. Add onions, salt, pepper and rosemary. Stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover skillet, sprinkle sugar over onions and stir to combine. Raise heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until onions are an even golden color, 12 to 15 minutes. (Add a bit of water if skillet becomes too dry.)
2. Preheat grill to medium-low. Lay tortillas on a flat surface and spread onion mixture evenly over lower half of each. Sprinkle cheese over onions and fold top half of each tortilla down over filling, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Oil grill. Place quesadillas on grill and cook until lightly browned and cheese has melted, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Codexis Receives Notice Alleging Breach Of Dyadic License Agreement
Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDXS), a developer of engineered enzymes for pharmaceutical, biofuel and chemical production, today announced that the company has received notice from Dyadic International, Inc. alleging that Codexis is in breach under a license agreement established by the companies on November 14, 2008. According to the notice, Dyadic intends to terminate the agreement in 60 days if the breach is not cured to Dyadic's satisfaction. Codexis believes that it is not in breach of the Dyadic license agreement, and that the Dyadic notice is unjustified and is without any legal or factual basis, and Codexis is considering all available remedies to protect its interests under the Dyadic license agreement.
Under the license agreement, Codexis obtained a non-exclusive license relating to Dyadic's C1-based proprietary fungal expression technology for the production of enzymes to make products in the fields of biofuels, certain pharmaceuticals, chemicals, air treatment, water treatment and the conversion of cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars for use in non-fuel products. Codexis agreed to pay Dyadic certain license issuance fees, milestone payments and fees based on volume of enzyme products sold or manufactured using this Dyadic technology.
Codexis currently uses this license from Dyadic solely in connection with its CodeXyme ® cellulase enzymes. Codexis does not expect that termination of the Dyadic license would have any impact on its current pharmaceutical and CodeXol ® detergent alcohol businesses.
About Codexis, Inc.Codexis, Inc. engineers enzymes for pharmaceutical, biofuel and chemical production. Codexis' proven technology enables scale-up and implementation of biocatalytic solutions to meet customer needs for rapid, cost-effective and sustainable process development – from research to manufacturing. For more information, see www.codexis.com. Codexis Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to Dyadic's intent to terminate the Dyadic license agreement; actions the Company may take to protect its interests under the Dyadic license agreement; Codexis' ability to maintain rights under the Dyadic license agreement; and the impact of the Dyadic notice on Codexis' current pharmaceutical and CodeXol® detergent alcohol businesses. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond Codexis' control and that could materially affect actual results. Factors that could materially affect actual results include uncertainty around Codexis' ability to resolve the dispute with Dyadic on commercially reasonable terms and uncertainty around Codexis' ability to dispute with success, through legal action or otherwise, Dyadic's allegation that Codexis has materially breached the Dyadic license agreement. Additional factors that could materially affect actual results can be found in Codexis' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2013, including under the caption "Risk Factors." Codexis expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Can I make a Recovery Disc for Win8 on a DVD
Can I make a Recovery Disc for Win8 on a DVD ?

If DVD is possible would appreciate link to a tutorial.

Hello Russell,
Here you go. It's the same method, but just use a DVD instead as Golden posted above. This will only be a system repair disc, and not like a recovery drive (USB) where you could also copy the contents of the recovery partition to the USB though.
System Repair Disc - Create in Windows 8Do note that the system repair disc feature is no longer available in Windows 8.1. The only option in Windows 8.1 is the recovery drive.

Not a Rescue/Repair Disk.
PC came with Win8 pre-installed and has the Win8 OEM partition.
I am using the PC manufacturers pre-installed "Create a Recovery Disc" feature to create the "Factory Recovery Disc"
If ultimately the PC develops a mechanical fault, I will use the Factory Recovery disc to return the PC to its factory state.
My first attempt onto an 8GB thumb drive failed because the TD at 8GB was too small for 11.3GB required.
As I understand it, there are two ways (or maybe three) of storing the "Factory Recovery" partition/stuff. (!?)
1. Thumb drive (at least 16GB)
2. CDs (probably two of them)
3. DVD possibly ?
Thumb drives concern me for long term (like, years) of data storage .

In Windows 8, you would need to use a larger USB flash dive for this. Using a CD/DVD is not supported for the recovery partition.

To see the status of China's yuan as a major reserve currency in two decades, one need only look at the yen.
The internationalization of Japan's currency in the 1970s and 1980s boosted its use in trade settlements, fostered global samurai bonds and made it a mainstay of foreign-exchange markets, said Alistair Thornton, an economist at IHS Global Insight in Beijing. Then its star faded, a victim of government reluctance to fully open financial markets to foreign participants and focus on developing financial products, Thornton wrote in an Aug. 14 report on the website of the Sydney-based Lowy Institute. The global proportion of yen reserve holdings peaked at 9 percent in 1991, before falling to about 3 percent, he said.
That same fate may befall China. After accelerating the internationalization of the yuan, fundamental changes in China's economic model including an open capital account, a floating currency and financial-market liberalization are needed to move toward achieving reserve status, Thornton said.
"It requires facing down tough political opposition and powerful vested interests, a willingness to expose the economy to new and unknown stresses and external volatilities, and a recognition that China needs to implement one of the largest sets of economic and financial reforms in recent history," he said. "Against a backdrop of a weak and uncertain outlook in the global economy, it would be unsurprising if leaders in China receded into policy conservatism."
The yuan is involved in less than 1 percent of average daily turnover in global currency markets, somewhere between the Russian ruble and the Turkish new lira, Thornton said, citing data from the Bank for International Settlements. That compares with 85 percent for the U.S. dollar and about 40 percent for the euro.
"Whilst some measure of internationalization is indeed underway, movement towards a reserve currency status commensurate with China's global economic status will be tortuously slow, relegating the prospect to irrelevance," he said. "The very best Beijing can hope for within the next couple of decades is a renminbi similar in position to that of the Japanese yen -- an internationalized, but modestly used, reserve currency. Even that will prove a stretch."

The unexpected drop in India's inflation rate last month to a 32-month low is a "mirage" that will be dispelled when food prices rise after poor monsoon rains, according to Anand Rathi Financial Services Ltd. in Mumbai.
The benchmark wholesale-price index increased 6.87 percent in July from a year earlier, compared with 7.25 percent in June, as vegetable prices fell 5.6 percent from a month earlier. That decline was unprecedented given that the costs of two major staples -- onions and potatoes -- surged, Anand Rathi's chief economist, Sujan Hajra, and analyst Gautam Singh wrote in an Aug. 14 report.
The "drop in vegetable prices came as a major surprise as such a situation had never occurred in the past," they said.
Monsoon rains have been 15 percent below typical. Should they fail to pick up before the end of the rainy season, it will push food-price gains to 18 percent and wholesale-price inflation above 10 percent by December, they said. Even if rainfall does improve, food inflation may peak at 14 percent and wholesale prices may rise 8.5 percent by year-end, they predict.
While the July inflation numbers raised the prospect of a cut in the benchmark repurchase rate by the Reserve Bank of India as early as September, Hajra and Singh say price pressures will prevent a further reduction before December. The bank has kept the rate at 8 percent since April, when it announced the first cut in three years.

European Central Bank proposals to tackle Italy's public finances have little chance of gaining popular support in the country, says economist Edward Hugh. Public resistance to the plans is likely to make politics in the euro-area's third- biggest economy as fragmented and unstable as in Greece, Hugh wrote in "Is The Italian Elephant About to Break Loose Again?" posted Aug. 10 on the EconoMonitor website.
The ECB has urged Italy to cut wages and limit job protection, among other measures to stabilize finances, Hugh said. Italian politicians are reluctant to sign up to a rescue package from an institution with such views, raising pressure on Prime Minister Mario Monti not to ask for help.
Italy "really has no alternative" to a bailout if it wants to keep the euro, Hugh wrote. The government, which forecasts a contraction of 1.2 percent this year and growth of 0.5 percent in 2013, is "way too optimistic" given consumer confidence near a 14-year low and the purchasing manager survey for services showing lower output in a year. The lack of growth may push gross debt to GDP above 130 percent.
The prospect that Italians will have to suffer the strict conditions needed for a bailout and retention of the euro is fueling support for politicians ambivalent or openly hostile to the euro, delaying reform, Hugh said.
"The growing popularity of new political movements like Beppe Grillo's Five Star could easily lead to the kind of political fragmentation already seen in Greece," he wrote. That will make "traditional political forces which back the Monti government even more reluctant to accelerate the adoption of far-reaching reform."

The U.S., euro area and Japan should consider policies to draw more older people into the workforce, including raising the retirement age, to offset a drag on growth from aging populations, says Nathan Sheets, global head of international economics at Citigroup Inc.
The three regions will experience per capita gross domestic product growth of about 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent over the next few decades, Sheets wrote in a research note published Aug. 9. His study of real GDP growth since 1991 shows the U.S. expanded an average of 2.5 percent a year, while the euro area grew 1.5 percent and Japan 0.75 percent.
Sheets' analysis of Japan's economy over the last 20 years shows its weakness didn't come from a loss in productivity, which expanded at about the same pace as in the U.S. Instead, stagnant growth reflected a drop in aggregate hours worked, which partly resulted from a decline in labor demand as companies adopted conservative hiring practices, Sheets said. Hours worked fell 15 percent, compared with a rise of 15 percent in the U.S. and a 5 percent gain in Europe.
With limited prospects for bolstering economies by increasing the size of the labor pool, even allowing for attracting more women into the workforce, the nations will have to turn to their seniors, he said.
"Additional gains in labor-force participation rates in all three economies will need to come from the rising participation of older workers, especially given the fact that shifting demographics imply that older people will account for a larger share of the population," Sheets said. "As an economic-policy measure, moves to encourage the participation of older workers (including higher retirement ages) would seem well advised."

Culture Warrior: Rise of the Planet of the AllegoriesCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 9, 2011 | Comments (8)
Warning: this editorial contains spoilers for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (and, for that matter, the original Planet of the Apes). Consider yourself warned, you maniacs! The original Planet of the Apes lends itself quite readily to allegory. 1968, the year of the film's release, was the peak of one of the most tumultuous eras in American social history. Martin Luther King, Jr. was gunned down in April of that year, and Robert F. Kennedy's death followed a mere two months later. Student resistance and campus demonstrations grew increasingly violent in their opposition to the Vietnam War, the Chicago DNC broke into an all-out war, and racial discord mounted. Of course, none of this had happened yet when Planet of the Apes went into production, but the intersections of intent and circumstance that permit the film to be read so heavily, so variously, and so often in allegorical terms enrich the original film and its sequels with resonance that outlives whatever else may date it. Beyond entertainment value, the Planet of the Apes series has lingered in the popular imagination not because of any strong connection to a specific associative meaning, but because of the many possible allegorical readings it is capable of containing. One of several reasons that Rise of the Planet of the Apes succeeds where previous reincarnations of the series did not is its reclaimed capacity for allegory.

Not as expected!
I ordered this skirt because it looks really pretty online, but the skirt I received in the mail didn't look like it. It wasn't white, sort of an off white, and it was poorly made. I don't know what happened here, but I returned it.

Seems very sturdy and installation was a breeze..(even with my limited electrical abilities.) The housing is much bigger than the old barrel style 3 position switches so you may have to modify your horm mount on some of the older FX/XL side mount style Harleys.

The directions are a little lacking. Installation is a little more complicated than it would appear to be. I installed a Warn 8000m notching the left horn was unnecessary but the instructions called for it. The instructions for hooking up the blinkers are for a right hand drive Jeep. So they are reversed.I am well pleased with it, fit and finish is exceptional powder coating is even and matches the finders. Dustin in customer service and auto-anything are great to work with.

Thank you, I am trying super hard not to be bananas but, I am, well, bananas : )

I hope you do get another beta just for the peace of mind. That worry is a nasty villain. But if you don't go, I think your betas are good. The average beta doubles anywhere between 48 and 72 hours, (2-3 days) so it was just barely shy of 48 but would have been WELL before 72. I know, it is always more comforting when they double faster, but you are still right in that range. In the meantime your symptoms are great too, so just relax and trust your body to do what it needs to do. ((((hugs))))

Hang in there Jodi. if your results are beyond what the doc ordered, I think you are fine. However, I agree with everyone -- go get another blood test...even ask your family doc to order one for you and do it locally, if need be. I'd rather drive for a day than wait for three. This is SOOO nerve-wracking.

I started writing a post on how to understand how respect works with developers, that quickly expanded to cover other technology worker types as "passionate technology people". Which is rather unwieldy a term to be throwing around throughout a post and not entirely encompassing of the people I mean anyway. "Geek" is the most accurate word in my vocabulary, but then I ended up spending more time explaining what a "geek" was rather than explaining how respect works for them. The downside of this is that you now have to read an obligatory "What I think a geek is" post instead of how to deal with them.
Before the 70s, "geek" wasn't a word anyone used outside a carnival — a carnival geek would be the performer (usually a hopeless alcoholic) who would do things like bite the heads off of chickens. In the 70s and 80s, a "geek" at American universities (and probably elsewhere) was what we called a "nerd" back when I was at school (not all that long ago). In the 90s, as the "geeks" from the universities started making money in the dot-com boom, being a "geek" started becoming a good thing (while "nerd" generally remained a bad one).
Even before the time "geek" was coined, technology enthusiasts were playing with ham radio, model railroads, and other electronics and hoping to get time on the rare and expensive computers of the day and coming up with their own shared terminology. The exceptional amongst them were called "hackers", although the term ended up being used for any member of the group.
Hackers are a magnanimous bunch. Since they'd stolen the word "hack" themselves from the pranksters at MIT, they were quick to suggest that the core meaning of "hack" and "hacker" have nothing to do with technology per se, but rather "an appropriate display of ingenuity". The original MIT hackers maintain a list of hacks they've performed — anything from making a building with a big dome resemble the droid R2D2 from Star Wars to stealing a famous California Institute of Technology land-mark during broad daylight by pretending to be movers and moving it cross-country. It was a cannon. Howe and Ser were the moving company — it helps to know Latin a bit to get the gag.
But in the 90s, "geek" was on the up, "hacker" was on the down — the term was being increasingly used in media to refer to those that broke into computer networks and systems. While nobody has officially claimed the "hacker" fight lost ("He's not dead, he's restin'!"), "geek" gained pretty much all the qualities of "hacker" albeit slightly watered-down, and it's not too much of a stretch to consider it the better-looking-but-less-bright orphan child of "hacker".
While shedding the bad qualities of "nerd" to a degree, "geek" also gained the generic nature of "hacker". Those who use tricks to make their cars run faster or cheaper are car geeks, people who build their own lightboxes and play around with HDR are photography geeks, and so on.
At this stage in my explanation, I'm generally confronted with questions:
What is my agenda in pushing the genericness of "geek"?
I suspect that one of the aspects of my particular brand of geekdom is a love for precision (or, perhaps, a hatred of imprecision) in the use of language, and those who have worked with me will know how incredibly annoying this trait can be, and, hopefully, how useful. I consider it ambiguity to talk about features of part of a population that apply to the entire population without mentioning that fact.
Why does it matter if "geek" is generic?
If you understand what motivates one geek, you've probably got a good handle on what motivates others, whether the geek you know is a programmer, a mechanic, a teacher, or a lawyer. As a group, they tend to value achievement, growth, and the work itself (Software Engineering Economics, Boehm, 1981) above other concerns. And, as a group, they tend to come with specific downsides as well.
GeekDinner is an experiment that tests this theory that there are geeks outside technology. Although organised predominantly by technology geeks so far (including me, as a disclaimer), it attracts more and more geeks of all varieties not only as guests, but as speakers as well. The presentations on a wide variety of topics are few and in short five-minute ADD-friendly chunks, on the theory that there's not enough time to get bored. Not unexpectedly, though, most of the audience tend to enjoy the talks outside their area almost as much as those in their area. I wouldn't claim total success yet, but it looks like the theory is holding.
Once you know what a geek is, you can identify them — even if you're only interested in the ones that might inhabit your IT department, because most likely not everyone in there is a geek. Non-geek IT people are probably more interested in recognition, responsibility, advancement, and status than the geeks are, and treating them like geeks will help you about as much as treating geeks as non-geeks.
Once you know what a geek is and you've identified one, then you can start applying your knowledge of geeks to get the most out of your relationship with them, whether they are friends or family members or employees or team members (or maybe even employers). Hopefully I can help shed some insights into at least the geeks I deal them and myself.

KwaZulu Natal, Sun City, North West
Known as the Garden Province, KwaZulu Natals stunning 370 mile Indian Ocean coastline rises up inland to the dramatic heights of the Drakensberg Mountains. The beaches are glorious and benefit from the warmth of the Indian Ocean. Lovers of history will find their home in the historic north, the site of the Boer Wars.
The sights
Drakensberg Mountains Drakensberg is Afrikaans for Dragons Mountain and at 620 miles in length, this is South Africas highest and most extensive mountain range. It runs from Hoedspruit, just west of Kruger National Park. When locals speak of the Berg, they are referring to the spectacular section, which runs for 120 miles from the KZN Midlands along the border with Lesotho. The Zulus call this the uKhahlamba the Barrier of Spears which tells you all you need to know about its appearance. This forms the region known as the uKhahlamba- Drakensberg Park.
Durban The sub tropical climate of Durban has made it one of South Africas most popular holiday resorts. Summer temperatures regularly reach 32°C, so, along with golden beaches and warm seas, the attraction is obvious. Its South Africas third largest city with a population of 3 million, but around 10 miles north, youll find the upmarket resort of Umhlanga. The area is less developed than the city and with great beaches, good shopping and a wide range of watersports.
Sun City On the edge of the Pilanesberg National Park lies South Africas playground; a complex comprising a theme park, casinos, sports facilities and man-made beaches. The resort has something for everyone with a choice of hotels, exceptional sporting and leisure facilities, including two championship golf courses, and a fantastic water park. The adjacent national park is home to all of South Africas Big Five, so game experiences are also available.
KwaZulu Natal The northern part of KZN, generally known as Zululand, offers an area with a real flavour of wilderness. Miles of deserted beaches and fine game reserves make it a must for anyone visiting the country. And of course, if your interests tend towards history, then the sites of the Boer Wars and the opportunity to learn about the Zulu homelands are an obvious draw.
Game Reserves If you thought that game is confined to Kruger National Park, then think again. There are numerous game viewing opportunities across South Africa and, in the North West region, Pilanesberg National Park offers Big Five game viewing, as well as the opportunity to sight wild dog. This is easily accessible from Sun City. If you are seeking something more exclusive, then Madikwe Game Reserve, which lies along the Marico River on the Botswana border offers a number of luxurious lodges from which you can expect to see impressive game.

Outside their little brown house, the sky has turned black, and in his room Joseph is still in bed, readjusting pillows and thumbing through old letters under the glow of a single red candle. A siren wails in the distance as he considers his evening options. No caller has offered to rescue him from his doldrums -- no one beckoning him to work, no friends calling him to hang out. GED classes are still an option, but not much of one. Then he remembers: Yesterday his friends had talked of going to the mall, of catching the new Jerry Springer movie at the multiplex. "Springer is the bomb," he says. "I can go to class tomorrow."
