Diaspora, by Greg Egan
Book Review by Jonathan M. Sullivan
Have you read this book?
By the late 30th century, human beings have split into several different manifestations. Most people reside as virtual consciousness in the polises, independent city-states embedded in virtual reality. Others, the gleisners, occupy robot bodies and have spread across the solar system. And the fleshers form a continuum, from the unaltered statics to the genetically engineered, wildly variegated exuberants to the bridgers, a consortium of humans self-consciously altering their genomes in such a way as to keep fleshers from growing too far apart. By the mid 2900's, this situation has reached an uneasy stability, with implicit understandings between the three great branches of humanity.
All of that changes with the discovery that a nearby binary neutron star system is losing angular momentum much faster than it should, and will soon coalesce into a black hole, spilling a burst of deadly gamma radiation across the sky. The Earth's biosphere is doomed to a slow death. The age of flesh draws to a close, and humans are forced to accept either physical existence in gleisner bodies or virtual existence in the now-starbound polises. Or death.
Thus begins a halting exodus to the stars, as humanity embarks upon a quest to understand the disaster that has befallen it, in defiance of all known physical laws. But the Diaspora is also humanity's struggle to maintain some connection with the physical universe, to avoid slipping into the deadly trap of a purely solipsistic existence in the artificial worlds of the polises.
In this wildly ambitious novel, Egan demonstrates a first-rate speculative imagination tempered by a firm grounding in mathematics and science. This is science fiction, not Space Opera, not Raymond Chandler in Virtual Reality, not Herman Wouk in Warp Drive. This stuff is not for the faint of heart. If you like your sf light and airy, easy to read and digest, full of fluff and replete with reassurances that humans will always be human no matter how far we travel or how much technology we accumulate--then don't bother with
. Or anything else by Egan. Sections of this novel read like a textbook, as when Egan proposes a mechanism for the accelerated loss of angular momentum from that binary neutron star:
...Quarks of a certain color could become locally heavier in one core, causing them to sink slightly until the attraction of the other quarks buoyed them up; in the other core, quarks of the same color would be lighter, and would rise. Tidal and rotational forces would also come into play. The separation of color would be minute, but the effects would be dramatic: the two orbiting, polarized cores would generate powerful jets of mesons, which would act to brake the neutron stars' orbital motion--a kind of nuclear analogue of gravitational radiation, but mediated by the strong force and hence much more energetic.
...Or the particulars of chemistry in a five-dimensional universe:
"How are you going to make molecules, if every chemical bond triggers nuclear fusion?"
"Not every bond does. If you throw enough hydrons together, the leptons fill up all the energy levels where they're confined tightly within the nucleus, so the outermost ones end up protruding sufficiently to be able to bind two atoms together with a respectable separation between the nuclei. You have to fill up the first two levels completely, which takes twelve leptons--so every stable molecule needs to contain a few judiciously placed atoms of number 13 or higher. Atom 27 can form fifteen covalent bonds; it's the closest thing in the macrosphere to carbon."
This isn't brain candy, this is brain brandy, the kind of stuff you can really wrap your head around. And that's good, because what the book offers in first-rate, wild-ass scientific speculation it lacks in warmth. There's not a lot of touchy-feely human interaction going on here, although Egan tries and to a certain extent succeeds in engaging us with his characters and involving us with their plights. This is no mean feat. It's a testament to Egan's skill that we care at all about his characters, because their very nature as robots or virtual beings creates an immediate gulf between them and us. Egan tries never to lose track of their vestigial humanity, but at the same time he never lets us forget that these characters are to a large degree indestructible and immortal, with minds spanning centuries of experience, virtual libraries of information, and unimaginable processing power. And to a certain extent the function of Egan's characters is to comment upon and analyze the complex scenarios he has dreamed up for us.
Ah, but what scenarios! Egan's versatile and bold imagination takes us from the foundations of matter to the edge of virtual biology, from the inner solar system to interstellar space, to the edges of a fractal cosmos, universes trillions of branch points removed from our own.
So you won't find a lot of Hallmark moments here. But you will get one hell of a ride..

If you open this book randomly and read 2 pages you can see that Egan holds nothing back. He's talking one on one to someone who is educated in physics. I wasn't. I didn't get the full deck while he's dealing the cards to the rising pile. It helps if you have some background on black holes and quantum donuts or you're just going to scratch your scalp a lot with this one.

'Comic Relief' was short on comedy
Published: Monday, December 4, 2006 at 8:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 4, 2006 at 9:58 a.m.
Definitions of the word relief are the freeing of one from stress or a factor that ends anxiety. Thus, by definition Home Box Offices "Comic Relief" special, allegedly designed to raise money for New Orleans victims of Hurricane Katrina, was anything but "relief." This was the sorriest collective of so-called "comedians" that I have had the misfortune to observe in a very long time. I have personally participated in many fund-raisers and, thank God, none of them had the slightest resemblance to this pathetic partisan charade and display of ingratitude for the outpouring of generosity from fellow citizens. According to Whoppi Goldberg, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, New Orleans has been singularly and totally abandoned by America. Somehow, they are seemingly unaware of the fact that our president and Congress have appropriated more relief money for Katrina victims than for any other disaster in the history of the United States of America.
Most of the performers on this so-called charity fund-raiser were swimming on the very bottom of the comedic slime-barrel. It was laced with profanity, tasteless remarks, offensive and smutty language, crudity, vulgarity and behavior unbecoming any performer with a scintilla of decency. It is hard to believe that a responsible sponsor of this program would wish to have any association with this fund-raiser farce. This program appeared to be a prime time opportunity for Rosie ODonnell to "flip off" all Republicans, for Williams and Crystal to set a new record for the number of times that the F-word could be used in a segment and to applaud and praise porn-star Ron Jeremy. Perhaps with naïveté, I believe that even Democrats had to have been uncomfortable with this shameless sham of a fund-raiser.
My rant against the sleaze-factor of this show was that it eliminated donations from "rich Republicans" and "charitable Christians," who would naturally have been turned away and turned off by this despicable display of indecency and partisanship. Curiously, there was no mention of the possible missteps of our Louisiana governor or of the ineptitude of the New Orleans mayor, but I do not feel that fund-raisers are the appropriate forums for the political blame game.
In the generous America that I love, people express gratitude for a helping hand and so-called comedians can still be funny without "shock factors crafted to cross decency boundaries" or by punctuating their language with countless and pointless profanities.

DAILY NEWS: "Beauty" in NYC; Hugo in Chicago; MIX Fest
by Eugene Hernandez and Anthony Kaufman/indieWIRE
>> French Toast U.S. Arrival of "Venus" Beauties
(indieWIRE/ 10.18.00) -- At the French Consulate on New York's 5th Avenue
on Monday night, French officials and American journalists toasted the
arrival of writer-director Tonie Marshall, esteemed actress Nathalie Baye
(recently seen in "An Affair of Love"), and up-and-coming ingenue Audrey
Tautou (to be seen next in creator Jean Pierre Jeunet 's "Amelie").
The trio of ladies was honored for their quadruple award-winning French
film, "Venus Beauty Institute," being released next week in the States by
Lot 47 Films. With a clean sweep at this year's Cesar Awards -- Best
Picture, Director, Screenplay and Young Actress (Tautou) -- the film and its
stars reflect once again the increased presence and recognition of female
talent in France. Paving the way for other French female directors like
newcomers Anne-Sophie Birot and Sophie Fillieres, whose films, respectively, "Girls Can't Swim" and "Aie" premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and will be released in the U.S. next year, "Venus Beauty" sets a fine example of a "woman's picture" that any gender can relate to.
The action of "Venus Beauty," however, revolves around that most feminine of
locations, the beauty salon, where 40-year-old Angele (Baye) struggles to
overcome loneliness and falls in love with a younger man, while young
Marie (Tautou) becomes smitten with a much older man. In addition to Baye
and Tautou's fine performances -- representing beauties both mature and
youthful -- Marshall also cast two ageless beauties in the film: her
mother, Micheline Presle, an actress with over 100 credits to her name,
and Emmanuelle Riva, most memorable for her 1959 debut, Alain Renais'
classic, "Hiroshima, Mon Amour."
The crack team of tuxedo-clad servers kept the champagne and hors d'oeuvres
flowing at the French Consulate prior to the formal sit down dinner, while
Marshall, a former actress with two previous directorial credits
("Pentimento" and "Pas tres catholique"), entertained guests in French and
English. She told indieWIRE that the success of the film in France has
created a surge of interest in her career.
"Everyone's waiting for your next work," she said. Marshall's answer to the
offers: she's got two projects in the works, one more mainstream, the other,
"the special one," she says, to star Catherine Deneuve, acknowledging that
the latter, more personal script, will be harder to get financed.
Before the guests enjoyed a perfectly choreographed dinner that included
shrimp aspic, shredded roast lamb with risotto and mashed potatoes, as well
as an array of desserts, Marshall disputed any expectation that "Venus
Beauty Institute" is simply a chick flick, saying, "It's for men and women.
I don't believe in making a movie just for women. It's for people."
[Anthony Kaufman]
>> "Perros" and "Gleaners" Win Gold Hugo Awards at Chicago Fest
(indieWIRE/ 10.18.00) -- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Amores Perros" won the Gold Hugo Award at the 36th Chicago International Film Festival, taking the event's top prize. In a prepared statement, jury president Haskell
Wexler said, "The film was chosen for its outstanding power, originality,
its shocking directness, and beauty."
From the doc jury, the Gold Hugo for Best Documentary was awarded to Agnes
Varda for her acclaimed doc, "The Gleaners and I" (Les Glaneurs et la
Glaneuse). The Silver Hugo went to Kim Longinotto and Jano Williamns' "Gaea Girls" and Tod Lending's "Legacy."
Silver Hugo Awards were presented to Bahman Ghobadi's "A Time for Drunken Horses" (special jury prize), Clara Law for Best Director ("The Goddess of 1967"), Hannelore Elsner for Best Actress ("No Place to Go"), and to two Best Actors, Emilio Echevarria and Gael Garcia Bernal for "Amores Perros." An award for Best First Film went to Marzieyh Meshkiny for "The Day I Became a Woman."
FIPRESCI presented its critics award to Cesc Gay's "Krampak" (Nico and Dani) and Yoichiro Takahashi's "Sunday's Dream." Gay's Spanish film was recently acquired for release next year by Avatar Films.
Finally, in the short film section, Jocelyn Cammack won the top narrative
award for "Better or Worse," Don Hertzfeldt was acknowledged in the
animation category for "Rejected," and Aditya Assarat won the award for best student narrative for "Motorcycle." [Eugene Hernandez]
[indieWIRE will publish a report from the Festival later this month.]
>> NYC's MIX Festival Announces Plans for Experimental Event
(indieWIRE/ 10.18.00) -- New York's Lesbian and Gay Experimental Film
Festival, aka MIX, has announced plans for its 14th annual event, running
November 15 - 19 in Manhattan. 27 world premiere screenings are among the
lineup, along with 38 New York premieres -- 100 titles will screen in total.
Singled out as a highlight is Curt McDowell's "Thundercrack," a film from
1975 that will show in the festival's "Sexy Horror Picture Show" series,
dubbed by organizers as a showcase of "sexy queer date movies."
Also on tap is a selection of work by Liza Johnson ("Fernweh: The Opposite
of Homesick"), Ned Ambler and Todd Verow ("Once and Future Queen"), each with films screening in the Innovations Feature Series. The event's ACCESS sidebar will offer digital media work, including an installment of "The
Queer Online Digifest" and another project entitled HUGE, in which New York directors interpret the word "huge" using a digital camera.
The Festival will also offer an array of shorts, animation and other
experimental work during screenings at numerous downtown venues.

Jennifer Lopez will receive GLAAD's Vanguard Award later this spring. The award honors entertainers who have made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for LGBT people.
Lopez will presumably receive the award on behalf of the seven producers of ABC Family's The Fosters, of which she is one. The series centers on a blended family composed of lesbian parents and their biological and adoptive children. The drama is reportedly based partly on Lopez's late aunt and her experiences of discrimination.
"When it comes to gay marriage, I just believe in love," Lopez said. "I believe that when two people find each other and love each other, they should be able to spend their lives together with all the same benefits and privileges as everyone."
GLAAD CEO and President Sarah Kate Ellis stated, "Through her work to bring The Fosters to life and by consistently speaking out as a powerful ally, Jennifer Lopez has not only sent a message of acceptance to LGBT adults and young people, but inspired new support for our community among her many fans around the globe."

Just a quick query for the other plugin developers out there. I'm trying to make my advertising management plugin as accessible as possible and was wondering how old a version of WordPress should I try and support? Are the majority of sites onto WordPress 3 and up? How many people are still using 2.9, 2.8? Does it make sense to go back to 2.6 is anyone using that anymore?
Also any suggestions on how to test for compatibility with what ever version you are support. I found quite a few old links for a plugin compatibility checker from Brave New Code, but it doesn't appear to be there anymore. I haven't been able to find anything equivalent. Am I really going to have to setup a server for each version and either manually or some convoluted test script try and install new versions on each to test?
Finally does anyone know of a comprehensive function matrix? Something that tells me what functions, filters, actions, options are available in each version.
The reason I ask is I recently added a few calls to get_site_url() to my plugin and got a ton of complaints that it broke the install process as it throws a fatal error on activation. All from users on WordPress installs older than 3.0. I've since switched to site_url(), but would like to avoid breaking things in the future.

Recently this has gotten worse but when driving at lower speeds every once in a while I hear a loud Grinding squeeling gear sounding noise out of the Driver Sid Wheel. At first I thought it maybe Ice built up or debris between rim and rotor, after I checked it out the noise went away. Scare Tactic in my book however today it rose it's ugly face again and probably did this 10 times todays and suprisingly the only solution to make it shut up was to turn the 4 Wheel Drive on and off in the same motion. I can't help but wonder if this has to do with my Drive shaft. What do you think and what pricing are we looking at? Hopefully my Warranty is still valid. Thanks.

Ok...here is the deal. I am 18 years old, a high school senior. I really badly want to tour(solo) down to college this summer. Oh, btw I live in western WA and will be going to school at BYU in Utah(yes I'm Mormon ) It's about a 950 mile trip. My parents, on the other hand, are not so enthused about the whole dealeo. They are concerned, worried, etc., etc.... I commute to school everyday, have a suitable bike and gear, and am not the type of person that does things like this unprepared. However, this would be my first long tour. So my mom reccomended that I ask on BF what you guys thought. Here goes...yes or no?
P.S. If anyone has any insight/comments/blahblah they want to spew out, go ahead. I will be anxiously awaiting the replies(as will my parents)

Illness prompts closure of Vt. schoolMarch 08,2013
BRIDPORT - School has been been canceled for the rest of the week in Bridport after about 80 of the 130 students and staff either called in or went home sick.
The Vermont Health Department is investigating after the illnesses were reported Wednesday at the Bridport Central School. The district canceled school on Thursday and Friday while the building is sanitized.
Symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting and could be caused by the Norovirus, also known as stomach flu, infectious disease epidemiologist Bradley Tompkins told WCAX-TV (http://bit.ly/XRpb6r ) reported.
"This is certainly the environment where Norovirus can easily spread where there are children and a lot of touching of objects," Tompkins said.
Corey Pratt, owner of Pratt's Store, near the the preschool-through-sixth-grade school, said his wife and 11-year-old daughter were sick.
"To have that many in such a short period of time is scary and hopefully they can figure out what the problem is," he said.
The Health Department was testing samples from those who were sick to determine if Norovirus was the cause.

It is your responsibility to notify your instructor of physical limitations that might interfere with meeting course requirements.
If you are not able to participate in all class activities due to physical disability, injury or limitations, you will be required to provide a doctor's statement explaining your limitations before going to the practicum facility for the first time. Because you may be in areas where emergency situations arise, you must be able to move quickly to avoid interfering with access of other health care providers. However, nonparticipation, regardless of the reason, may be reflected in your performance appraisal.

Much about the kind of intelligence fusion centers collect and share is unknown. The facilities remain shrouded in a level of secrecy, with their intelligence bulletins exempt from public disclosure laws.
But given the modern age of technology and the fact that such reports are sometimes widely shared across the law enforcement spectrum, some have leaked out.
An online group that says its mission is equal access to information, publicintelligence.net, has amassed a trove of fusion center intelligence bulletins, all available at the click of a mouse. Many of these bulletins are simply compilations of articles that already appeared in the mainstream media. Though marked unclassified, they clearly state that they are not meant for public view, and also do not reflect the kinds of classified information centers receive and share.
Still, the bulletins provide a window into how fusion centers share information, and illustrate the patchwork of policies and rules under which centers around the country operate.

Randy Rogers Band, Eli Young Band playing Oklahoma City's Fifth Annual Wormy Dog Spring Jam

From Friday's Weekend Look section of The Oklahoman.
Randy Rogers Band, Eli Young Band to rock Bricktown during Spring Jam
When Randy Rogers Band and Eli Young Band take the stage at the Fifth Annual Wormy Dog Spring Jam, they're planning to do more than just rattle the windows in Bricktown with their driving alt-country music.
They intend to work hard, kick down doors and keep a promise made a few years ago to help each other find success.
"They're some of the nicest guys you've ever met. They've been incredible to us and stood by our vow and helped us out as they've gotten bigger. And now we've had our little bit of national success and we plan on keeping up our end of the bargain as well," Mike Eli, singer/guitarist of Eli Young Band, said of the Randy Rogers Band.
Both Texas-based groups are playing the Spring Jam, presented by Wormy Dog Saloon and Bud Light, for the third time. The event moved last year to the parking lot west of the Walnut Street Bridge, which means Bricktown will rock with the red dirt music scene Saturday night.
"It's a good wide-open space and it seems like everybody had a good time that I talked to," said Randy Rogers, frontman of headliners the Randy Rogers Band. "I can't imagine that this year just won't be the biggest (jam). I mean, with Eli Young Band, they're doing so good and they're so hot right now."
The yearly concert is coming when both bands are receiving unprecedented attention from country music's mainstream. Both were nominated for Academy of Country Music Awards this spring and have recently performed on talk shows like "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Last week, Eli Young Band notched its first top 10 single on the Mediabase country chart when "Always the Love Songs" climbed into the No. 10 slot.
"It's been incredible. I mean, it's been some hard work. The top of the charts are normally clogged with the Alan Jacksons of the world and the Sugarlands," Eli said.
"So as a band that's a little left of center, we have to go in and fight a little harder, especially being that we're a new band. But the fact that we made it up into the top 10 is incredible and it feels incredible. All the work that we've put in … has been culminating to these moments."
After nine years of toiling as a regional band, Eli Young released its first national album, "Jet Black and Jealous" last fall. Eli, who founded the band with guitarist James Young at the University of North Texas, said the group made the album before inking a deal with Universal Records South. So, there was no pressure to change the music to fit the contemporary country mold. But the album did get the attention of music fans – and the ACM, which nominated the band for top new vocal group.
"I think we have to work a little bit harder to be noticed. … It's nice to be noticed and accepted, but at the same time, we are happy about who we are and we're happy that we're different," Eli said.
"I hope that with our success and Randy's success we can help open doors for some of the younger bands and for some of the other artists and songwriters."
Randy Rogers Band also released a 2008 album, and the group's self-titled fourth studio record debuted last summer at No. 3 on Billboard's Top Country Album list and No. 1 on iTunes digital country chart. The group received a top vocal group ACM nomination.
After playing 230 shows a year for about a decade, Rogers said he's proud of the ground the group is gaining – and hopeful other bands on the red dirt/Texas music scene benefit, too.
"I can't tell you what it is and why it's happening now, but I hope that the Randy Rogers Band continues to be in the middle of it and kind of trying to knock some doors down that have been opened just a little bit," he said. "I think that there's so much good music that should be heard coming out of our neck of the woods and the more people that have that success at radio … the better for everybody."
As far as Saturday's Spring Jam goes, the singers said fans can expect loud guitars blasting out country music with an edge.
"I think between the two of us, we have a lot of energy," Eli said. "Our music, both of our styles are very different but they play well together. … We pride ourselves in having a great time onstage and hopefully the audience has an incredible time as well."

True Story
A Lesser Dependancy by Peter Benson
Book Description
In 1971 the inhabitants of Diego Garcia, a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a place too small to find on a map and one of the last paradisical outposts of the Empire, were suddenly evicted from their homes to make way for a US military base.
Book Review
I read this book shortly after it was first published in 1989. It won a well deserved Encore award in 1990. It has now been re-published and I decided I wanted a copy on my kindle and also decided to also write a review. This is the terrifying story of how the residents of a smallIslandofDiego Garciawere forcibly removed from their homeland so that the island could be used as a military base. The British Government did not protect these people in any way and lied about theIsland, saying it was uninhabited. The disgrace is that this happened in my lifetime, in the nineteen seventies, not in the dark ages.
Diego Garcia is in theIndian Ocean, a coral atoll of the chagos archipelago.
The residents of Diego Garcia were simple living people, who farmed their land, fished in the sea, and cared for their children and animals. The British Government sold theIslandto The United States for fourteen million pounds discount on some ballistic missiles then covered up this deed, killed all the animals and then moved the people to another island. The working dogs and pets on the island were taken into a barn by American soldiers and shot while the children screamed outside. Some of the men who sailed to a larger island to buy supplies not available on their own island were prohibited from returning home, and no explanation was given to their families who waited in vain for their return.
The writing in this book is simple and the story is told in a straightforward way, but it is heartbreaking. Peter Benson has captured the atmosphere of the island before the troubles and the agony of the people after this. I can not emphasise enough that this should be compulsory reading, especially for young people, as it hopefully would make them question more of what our politicians tell us.
After reading this book in 1989 I spoke to numerous people and tried to make the story better known, but most had never heard of Diego Garcia, and were not aware what our Government had done. This is a beautiful book about a beautiful people whose few survivors still have not been compensated for what happened to them all those years ago.

This was probably one of the poorest hair experiences I have had as an adult.
The hair wash, over a very uncomfortable bowl, was short, light fingered and felt un-thorough; I also had to keep sitting up awkwardly to ensure my hair was washed at the nape of my neck, even though I pointed this out to the stylist. The conditioning treatment was barely there, and there was no scalp massage. The water was really too hot - not that I was asked.
The hair cut itself is - let's just say - shorter on one side that the other and reminds me of a shaggy dog, when what I'd asked for was 'sleek' and similar to what I'd entered with. The 'blow dry' with a hairdryer that sounded and felt as ineffectual as a 1970s Pifco, was appalling and would have left me in tears if I hadn't asked for it to be straightened immediately. This was so badly done, I had to ask a trainee to redo it after I'd visited the toilet and discovered kiss curls, untouched at the back.
In my opinion, Dario, who owns this salon, should be doing these cuts himself if he wishes his salon to remain credible. Instead of giving clients the opportunity of having their hair experimented on by a very young 'graduate' stylist. "Award Winning" a sign boasts outside? I don't think so. I will probably have to now pay somebody else much more to fix this.

LAS VEGAS -- As O.J. Simpson tries to win a new trial on the robbery and kidnapping charges that sent him to jail, he still can't put behind him the court battles stemming from deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Simpson was acquitted in that criminal case -- but in a civil case, a court ordered him to pay $33 million to the estates of the two people he'd been accused of killing.
And a lawyer for Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, is still after the money.
David Cook testified Thursday in Las Vegas that some of the items that were taken in the hotel room heist that sent Simpson to prison didn't really belong to him.
He says Fred Goldman still has ownership rights to nine "game" footballs, if they ever appear on the market. A California judge had ordered them returned to Simpson in 2009 -- a year after Simpson was convicted of robbery and kidnapping.
But Simpson testified yesterday that he never would sell the items.

We know how to make SharePoint awesome
Our track record
We've been creating content management and collaboration portals on the SharePoint platform since its first version. Over the last 12 years, we've built hundreds of solutions on SharePoint, both big and small.
Our expertise
Our SharePoint expertise empowers us to build intuitive user experiences that users adore. The result: better adoption, satisfaction, and ultimately return on your portal investment.
Our 2013 experience
We've been working with SharePoint 2013 since 2012 and have already delivered solutions on the platform. SharePoint 2013's new search, social, and team site discovery features are a powerful addition to any portal!
Discover the benefits of SharePoint 2013
Better, FASTer, stronger.
FAST Search is now fully integrated into the SharePoint platform. The benefit: a costly license is no longer required and your portal can leverage FAST's powerful search capabilities throughout. Many visitors skip a portal's navigation and use search to find content; SharePoint's search capabilities (combined with tuning and a solid governance program) provide an exceptional experience for those that search.
SharePoint 2013 also provides the ability to embed the search-driven display of content within your portal, which is perfect for sites that contain large volumes of information, such as a knowledge base or product catalogue.*
*Note: Not available in SharePoint Online / Office 365
Power to the people.
SharePoint 2013 provides a rich set of embedded social capabilities, empowering your portal to help foster stronger communities, crowdsource ideas, deepen relationships, increase productivity, and accelerate innovation. The platform has a new purpose-built Community Site template, which provides topic-based conversation streams for groups to collaborate within and member reputation features to reward your portal's most valuable contributors.
SharePoint 2013 uses a familiar newsfeed concept, which enables your visitors to engage in conversations and follow sites, documents, people, and subject matter tags across your SharePoint portal. Newsfeeds are even available via the new apps for iOS and Windows Phone.
Hit the road.
Many organizations are not meeting user expectations for mobile device access. Issues such as security and cost are common barriers in embracing mobile device access, leaving important audiences such as traveling individuals and field-workers out-of-the loop. SharePoint provides a solid foundation on which to build mobile employee, customer, and member portals. From dedicated mobile sites to completely responsive portals, SharePoint can support any mobile requirements you might have.
We're all in, too.
Microsoft has made key architectural changes to SharePoint and has completed an enormous investment in the infrastructure required to support a truly cloud-ready platform. Organizations that want to leverage SharePoint have a choice: on-premise, in the cloud, or both.
SharePoint Online in Office 365 is a viable, feature-rich alternative to an on-premise installation and is ready to go, today!
Download, install, and go.
SharePoint now uses the app model popularized by smartphones to add new capabilities to your portal. IT or portal management teams can make apps available to their users as a commoditized service offering and third-party apps can be obtained from the SharePoint Marketplace, which may replace the need for custom development.
Habanero created an app to display important messages, a feature found on many employee portals. Check out our free Important Messages App in the SharePoint marketplace.
We start with our Portal Accelerator
The Habanero SharePoint Portal Accelerator empowers us to deliver high-quality portals more efficiently and less expensively. The Accelerator is designed for both SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online. More than just a code library, it provides:
Common features
A number of high-quality, pre-built components, which are common to our portals.
Best practices
SharePoint solution design, infrastructure planning, and design best practices.
Functional and technical specifications and documentation, versioning, localization, and configuration documentation.
Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario
The Junction supports a strong employee experience throughout this important public institution.

It takes a village
Servus Credit Union's new employee portal – the Village – provides a single source for information across the organization.
License to drive
ICBC's employee portal – the Hub – is helping the organization drive a much more customer-centric and employee-oriented company.
Social butterfly

Case closed
The award-winning BenNet simplifies how lawyers and employees at Bennett Jones can efficiently contribute to, share, and reuse information.
Best practices, best approach, best team
Experienced team
We've got a passionate team that loves to show SharePoint who's boss! We employ over 20 Microsoft Certified Professionals who lead technical sessions across the country.
Proven approach
All SharePoint development starts with the platform's out-of-the-box building blocks, keeping future upgradability in mind. Our development process is iterative, which enables you to view development progress (and provide feedback) throughout the project.
World-class tools
We believe in application lifecycle management and fully leverage Microsoft Visual Studio and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. We use a build-promotion process, which provides early feedback of issues, and ensures you have confidence in the overall solution.
Quality first
We're fanatical about the details and believe quality assurance is more than testing. A dedication to quality permeates our entire design and development process, from usability testing during the design stage, to performance testing in a dedicated lab during development to ensure your portal performs as it should.

Beautiful shirt. Next time I would order a size larger for the sleeves but this is one where the look and fit are equally beautiful. If you like a really tailored fit, you should be aware there is a bit of give even at the slim size but a keeper. Would go casual to business easily.
