Hey guys,
I'm wondering what type of program or rep scheme you follow for pull-ups. Lately I haven't been able to make progress and its been about 6 weeks. I'm currently stuck at 3-4 sets of 7-8 reps. What do you guys like to do to increase your numbers? Any suggestions? I was thinking about getting a weight belt.
Are you able to go all out in your first set and try increase by a rep or so each week? Or maybe you can try timing your rest periods and slowly decreasing the rest times, that way you still get stronger even though you're going same sets/reps
Also low rep chins with added weight might be a good option. Plus that also gives you the added psychological benefit of bodyweight chins feeling light as hell after doing weighted ones
If you want to go crazy with the pullups, a good method for upping your reps is doing "Grease the Groove" or Frequency Method. Basically get a pullup bar at home and 3-5 days a week do 4-6 sets a day throughout the day of 1/2 the numbers of your maximum pullup reps. As it gets easier add a rep here and there. So if you can only do 8 reps right now, do sets of 3 or 4. Once the 4's get easy, start doing 5's. Never take a set to failure here, keep one in the tank.
If you don't have a bar at home or don't want to spend all the time doing this (really not that much time, more remembering to do it), then you might want to do a high rep day--do a set of pullups between all movements or all pressing movements, and a heavy day where you add weight and keep the reps between 4-8.
Lastly, you could increase your Back strength using machines (Hammer Strength is a personal favorite of mine) in addition to the Pull-Up's / Chin-Up's that you are doing.

Maybe try taking a break from them about every 4th week. You might be getting burned out on them. Like Tom said, maybe try hitting some other back exercises to help get your back strong.

With just bodyweight:
Cluster your reps. If you know you can do 8 reps say, just do 7. Rest like 10s, then finish your reps. This will push your volume up.
Target your training density. Try to cut down on rest times while maintaining reps.
Pick a number of total reps and try to reduce the number of sets over time.
Otherwise, determine where you are weakest at and hit that the hardest. You may want to use different grips, wider/narrower setup, longer eccentric, etc.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
Wow alot of feedback in here thanks guys.
I already did try to back off a bit by taking a week off and letting myself rest but that didnt seem to help much. I also tried switching to doing pull ups twice a week instead of once but that also didnt seem to work. As someone else suggested, I have also tried lowering my reps and leaving some gas in the tank...that also has didnt help me. What's worse is the last 2 weeks I tried doing them I didn't even hit my normal reps. The last 2 weeks I havent even been able to complete my full sets of 7-8 so im a bit confused as to whats going on.
I follow a workout schedule thats similar to baby got back routine from this website so I work my back twice a week. Everything else such as my deadlift, squat, bench, overhead press, rows and even my accessory work is getting alot stronger except for my pullups which suddenly for some reason have started to decline. Im on a bulk, my calorie intake is up and my weight is also going up, i've gained about 8-9 pounds since early september and I get plenty of rest each night. Very frustrating to me, I might try to go with the weight belt for a few weeks and see if that makes any difference.
Thanks again.

If your rows are going up, don't stress to much about the chins as they are using the same muscles. Also since you are gaining weight, that will be making chins slightly harder too
Another thing which you could do is set a target of 20 chins and do as many sets or as long as your need to get them. Then each week try improve on the time and/or number of sets
Haha good point. I guess I never really thought that maybe since my weight was going up then progression would be difficult.
Thanks again for the feedback

Chad Greenway on Vikings WR Percy Harvin: Hes the best player in the NFL right now

Chad Greenway on Vikings WR Percy Harvin: Hes the best player in the NFL right now
Chad Greenway on Vikings WR Percy Harvin: 'He's the best player in the NFL right now' - The Washington Post
Percy Harvin would be the best wide receiver in the NFL if he had the height of Calvin Johnson.
But let's really compare the arguably greatest wide receiver in the game today, Calvin Johnson, to Vikings' Percy Harvin.
The Megatron definitely is the best outside receiver. Has the better hands, and by far the better range.
As for speed they both are world class. Johnson probably has faster top end speed, but Harvin has one of if not the most explosive first steps in the league.
Here comes the interesting part! Harvin is one of the best kick returners in the league. Not only that, he can line up in the backfield and play as a top running back. I think Harvin might be the pound for pound strongest wide receiver in the NFL. Like I have said before, Harvin is like a mini-Adrian.
I think as a football player overall, Percy Harvin is better than Calvin Johnson. Are there really anyone else in the league who can play THREE different position and be on of the top guys at each position?
He's a change of pace guy when he lines up, but he COULD NOT be relied on as a full-time back if needed. If AP goes down, Gerhart and not Harvin would get the bulk of hte carries. Harvin gets reps to change things up.
As for receiver, he might be one of the best guys in the game this year. He's leading the league in receptions. He doesn't drop the ball much, and once he has the ball, it's almost a guaranteed 5-7 YAC.
I honestly believe Harvin could be a pretty damn good halfback.
Just imagine him on a pass happy team like the Patriots. Percy would be a star running back! Just imagine his versatility. They could motion him out to the slot and BAM they would have one of the best slot receivers.
He might be the best receiver for his size, but I would much rather have a Megatron, Fitz, or Andre Johnson type receiver who are always open.
At his current pace he will have 144 catches and 43 carries, over 1700yds and Zero tds this year.
Percy can do it all, at times he is the ONLY offense we can truly rely on. He's also a blast to watch. Love me some Harvin!
I have been saying since about halfway through his second season that Percy Harvin is not just a very good football player ... but he is a SUPERSTAR with hall of fame talent.
It seems that the offensive minds with the Vikings are starting to realize it as well. Harvin needs the ball in his hands as a receiver, returner and running back as often as possible. He is too explosive and too dynamic not to be something that defenses seriously fear.
I am all for trying to give him rest here and there since we like using him in so many different ways, but the offense should have a heavy heavy Harvin focus ... and it seems everyone is starting to notice.
I have to admit that I ragged on the thought of drafting him running up to and after the draft, but I was wrong and he is a great player. I actually think he could be a better all around running back that Peterson because of his pass catching ability and his burst to the hole. Glad they are finally starting to use him as a featured player.
I'm not sure if he's the best in the league, but he's certainly the hardest WR to bring down. I've never seen a WR constantly move piles the way he does. I bet he leads the league in YDDAC (Yards Dragging Defenders After Catch).
At his current rate of use, I don't think Harvin is going to last the whole season though, and ofc we always have to worry about when his next migraine will strike. Hopefully now that Simpson is back, we won't have to rely on Harvin to carry as much of the load and he'll probably last much longer.
I love the analogy Greenway uses. Let's focus more on his context than our opinions for just a moment. He made some powerful statements about Percy's approach, passion, dedication, and play to Bob Sander's...we simply cannot appreciate the nuances of the commentary.
I recall Cris Carter endorsing Percy Harvin just before his rookie season...his commentary was something like, "Percy Harvin is my vote for ROY. I have scouted talent for Urban Meyer throughout the Southeast, I have helped Florida's and several other other WRs in my Camp. I have seen Percy since he was in grade school, high school, and college. I can say that whether on the practice field, in training, or, in a game, Percy Harvin was always the best player on the field."
I certainly hope he is a Viking for many years to come...an inspiring talent indeed.

I love to bake and I have not been doing too much of it. Usually, I bake for my husband. I rarely eat what I bake but he makes up for that. The problem, I do have, is that with only two of us, at home, it is for special occasions, I make the chocolate and the cookies, pies or cakes. For my husband, it is coffee cakes, nut cakes, and tons of muffins. They are all easy to do and I am limited but I love to bake, anyway.
I decided to surprise my husband with what I hoped would become a favorite cake. This cake can be made with many variations. In fact, the original recipe from Better Homes and Gardens is for a cranberry pear cake. I changed it to an apple – cranberry walnut cake because I have apples handy. I would like to make it with pears and use another dried fruit or maybe fresh cranberries, when in season. Of course, the nuts can be changed as well. Even the seasoning lends itself to the fruit selected. Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice sounded right for the apples.
Cranberry-Apple-Walnut Cake
2 cups gluten-free flour mixture
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons margarine
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup Rice Dream
1 cup dried cranberries
2 apples, peeled and diced
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup additional gluten-free flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour a 9-inch baking pan.
Combine 2 cups of the GF flour mix, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a large bowl beat the margarine on medium to high
speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugars.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Add flour mixture alternately with Rice Dream beating on low after each addition until combined.
In a bowl mix cranberries, apple, and walnuts with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Stir into batter. Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes .

2013 Performer: The Cassie Taylor Band
- Published on Thursday, 05 September 2013 17:03
At age 26, Cassie Taylor is already a veteran musician. She's spent a decade playing bass and singing on stage and in the studio with her father, modern-day blues innovator Otis Taylor. And now, with the May 7, 2013 release of her new album Out of My Mind on Yellow Dog Records, Cassie stakes her own claim as an artist of intelligence, power and soul.
The album finds Taylor defining her own creative identity within a dozen songs that balance passion, grace and humor with a broad embrace of sounds and musical styles consistently steeped in the blues. From Delta bedrock to the fringes of electronica to the driving spirit of rock 'n' roll, Taylor draws on all of her influences — which span centuries, continents and cultures — to create indelible stories like the edgy and compelling two-part drama "Ol' Mama Dean" and the celebration of life and love "Forgiveness," which struts over a blithe Crescent City beat. Organ, trumpet, tuba and even Theremin make cameo appearances in the mix alongside the core bass, drums and guitar sound of her trio, all supporting a voice that's angelic, haunting, raw and full-blooded.
"The blues is the basis of all American music and of everything that I do," says Taylor "It's a tradition, passed down from generation to generation. Some people say I'm not blues enough, but I'm a 26-year-old woman with very light skin living in the 21st century. Had Muddy Waters grown up when I did perhaps his music would sound a lot like mine. When Memphis Minnie was coming up they didn't have electronic music or rock 'n' roll, and it was impossible to buy West African psychedelic rock records. I listen to everything from old blues to punk to drum 'n' bass to my father's music, and it's all become part of me."
"In concert I'll play Nine Inch Nails' 'Closer' and segue into Muddy Waters' 'I Just Want To Make' Love To You' to make a point — they're equally grounded in blues; they both have the same message and the same changes, and prove that this musical tradition is relevant today."

2013 Performer: Nikki Hill
- Published on Thursday, 05 September 2013 16:55
Those who have seen Nikki Hill sing her ass off agree—this isn't just another newcomer on the scene, this is a 'whiplash' moment. Where did this fireball come from? Why haven't I heard of her before? If you haven't heard of Nikki Hill yet, you soon will, and once you see her perform, you won't forget her.
Hill and her band are climbing to the top of the roots music scene step by step and leaving jaws on the floor along the way. With a no-filter energy, they take all the flavors of American roots music and deliver a sound that reminds us all why we love rock and roll. Nikki's gritty and raw voice with dynamics that hint of a long-standing career, driving rhythm guitar, and a tight rhythm section take what we music lovers admire about our roots legends, and then push them to the next level that the world of rock and roll has been waiting for.
Hailing from Durham, North Carolina, Nikki comes by her Deep South soul honestly. Her musical roots began while singing in gospel choirs at church as a child. A stint living in nearby college town Chapel Hill introduced her to many different styles of music and the awareness of music (and more importantly, unique and non-mainstream music) as a possible career. After pairing up with her guitar-playing husband Matt Hill, they promptly relocated to St. Louis, Missouri, where they have established themselves as roots rock and roll powerhouses!
If you haven't heard of her yet, prepare for your 'whiplash moment'—you have been warned.

2013 Performer: Alvin Youngblood Hart
- Published on Thursday, 05 September 2013 16:38
The cosmic American love child of Howlin Wolf and Link Wray! Known as a "musician's musician," Alvin Youngblood Hart's praises have been sung by everyone from Bob Dylan to Brit guitar gods Eric Clapton & Mick Taylor.
Since the release of his 1996 debut recording, the all-acoustic BIG MAMA'S DOOR, Hart has relayed his eclectic musical message around the world.
A devout follower of the "no barriers" approach carved out by veteran performers like Gatemouth Brown and the late/great Doug Sahm, Hart aims to delight the masses and points to challenge the so-called blues purists.
When not touring solo or plugged in with his revered rock trio "Alvin Youngblood Hart's Muscle Theory", Hart enjoys researching, collecting, repairing and modifying obscure musical equipment.

2013 Performer: Glenn's Blues Band
- Published on Wednesday, 11 September 2013 15:07
Glenn's Blues Band is a project of local musician Glenn Brooks. Glenn is a music man for all seasons. His musical background includes church solos and choirs, school bands, chorus and orchestras. He was a member of his undergrad college (Monmouth College) bagpipers' band playing the bagpipes. He sang with an R&B group in the Air Force touring with stars like the O'Jays, the Duke of Earl and Rufus Thomas. He also sang backup for a young Linda Ronstadt.
Moving to Southern California, Glenn served in accompanying bands playing bass for Etta James, The Fifth Dimension, O.C. Smith, Billy Preston, The Marvelettes and Latin legend Willie Bobo, to name a few.
Glenn's Blues Band also features the talented Joe Metzka on guitar and vocals. At an early age Joe began listening to blues and jazz records and reading about legends like B.B. King and Nat Cole. He learned from older musicians how to play and sing blues, jazz, funk, modern rock and even Western swing and country.
"Over the years," says Joe, "I've been lucky to play with some incredible, eclectic musicians: Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy, Matt Wilson, Tim Hagans, The Ohio Players, Three Dog Night, The Shirelles and many others."
2013 Performer: Hayes and Fleming
- Published on Saturday, 22 September 2012 18:27
Charlie Hayes and Joel Fleming have been fixtures on the local music scene for decades. Together, they make a powerful blues duet, sensing each other's musical energy and crafting brilliant blues improvisations.
Charlie's acoustic blues range from the classic sounds of Robert Johnson to the contemporary picking of Keb Mo. Charlie is known for his rock-solid back beat (both mono and alternating bass) and multi-string leads, coupled with searing vocals and the ability to either play dead-on "in the pocket" or mix it up with some rough and savage playing. Charlie has also been working on blues banjo and the pedal bass, which provides him with even more musical territory to explore.
Joel performed in the mid-1980s with the Air Force Tops in Blue, a musical showcase, touring overseas. In the 1985 Hohner Harmonica contest he placed second in the nation. He is an accomplished harmonica player on both diatonic and chromatic. Joel plays with a unique, jazzy style, employing subtle tones, phrasing and echo effects to create a compelling, mesmerizing counterpoint to Charlie's guitar.
Joel has been playing harp for over 40 years and Charlie has been playing professionally for over 30 years. On October 26th, they'll take those 70+ years of combined experience to deliver an amazing opening act for this year's Deep Blue Innovators Blues Festival.

Our Newcastle breaking news live blog begins at 06:30am every weekday and is updated throughout the day until 10.00pm.
Good morning everyone, this is reporter Laurence Dodds kicking off the Chronicle's live news blog for today, Monday February 3, 2013.
We're running a bit late due to technical problems, but after thumping the computer five times we're ready to bring you all the latest news and travel updates.
As always, if you know something is going on that we haven't covered, get in touch and let us know - you can comment on this page, tweet us @EveningChron, or call us on 0191 2016455.
Thanks for joining us, and have a great day.
TRAVEL: We're told that A1290 Blue House Lane is closed today in both directions due to resurfacing work between Albany Way and Weardale Avenue.
Lane restrictions on the A193 at Byker Bridge mean local delays are likely, while mobile mast works starting today on A189 Jesmond Dene Road may cause trouble.
WEATHER: The forecast today is mostly cloudy, with no rain (we'll see about that) and a temperature of around 9C. There've been strong winds blowing north and north-westerly overnight, but it's calmed down now.
TRAVEL: Minor delays are reported on A183 Anderson Street, South Shields, again due to repairs.
I'm now checking with local emergency services to see if anything's happened overnight.
CRIME: It's all quiet in the North East according to local police and fire services. The coast guard control centre on the Humber also says it's all been routine. If you know different, feel free to get in touch on 0191 201 6455.
DERBY: Saturday's 3-0 defeat has left Newcastle divided, with folk tweeting at us to support or crucify club owner Mike Ashley. Here's the news from over the weekend:
- Four men will appear in court after being arrested on Saturday, but there were just 11 arrests - and police have praised the majority of fans for treating the day "in the best spirit."
- Mike Ashley is for sale according to a spoof eBay listing a starting price of only 99p and claiming he has "zero ambition to compete in any way, shape or form."
- Alan Pardew blamed the loss of Cabaye and poor performance of Loic Remy for the loss, saying the team "lost our heads" after the first goal.
- Mark Douglas lists his five reasons Sunderland won the derby.
- Our sports writer Lee Ryder delivers his final match report.
- Stuart Rayner calls the game "a perfect Poyet performance", while Neil Cameron warns that "everyone is to blame" for United's defeat, saying its transfer policy was "asking for trouble."
- Barry Rogerson, the man who punched a police horse after April's derby, was freed from prison just in time for this one.
TRAVEL: There's been some delay on the A19 in Tyne and Wear with animals on the road at the junction with the A183. Lane restrictions on Manor Road are also causing delays on A188 Benton Road.
SPORT: Our chief sports writer and NUFC don Lee Ryder asks - just what is going on?
Newcastle United fans are calling for answers after the Magpies' failed bid to replace Yohan Cabaye.
A dismal and heartless derby display against Sunderland at St James' Park compounded the Toon Army's frustrations on Saturday with loud vocal chants against Mike Ashley picked by the TV cameras.
It has also emerged from sources in France that Newcastle's attempts to sign Clement Grenier only resulted in what Lyon viewed as a derisory offer for his services.
NEWS: Our lead story today is a tribute to Simon Bates, who plunged to his death last year on Mont Blanc.
Arms held wide to embrace his passion for life, the fun-loving 30-year-olds was on top of the world as he trekked to the summit of Europe's tallest mountain.
Now, Simon's heartbroken family have set up a charity to keep his memory alive.
His sister Caroline broke her silence to tell of her brother's amazing life and shared the proud picture taken on Mont Blanc days before his death.
"He was gorgeous, larger than life," she said. "He jumped out of planes, went up mountains, trekked the Himalayas, dived in the oceans and bungee jumped in Australia. He did everything to the full and made sure he enjoyed doing it."
TRAVEL: There is currently very slow traffic on the A167 Ponteland Road.
The A690 Durham Road in sunderland is also seeing delays due to lane closures for resurfacing between Ettric Grove and Sunderland City College.
MORE TRAVEL: Temporary traffic lights have been set up on B1318 Gosforth High Street due to gas supply works. That will probably mean some delays.
POLITICS: What are our local MPs up to?
Newcastle Central MP Chi Onwurah will speak in Parliament on Wednesday about the sexist marketing of children's toys. On Saturday she was on Radio 4 talking about the issue.
Gateshead MP Ian Mearns makes no bones about his opinion on the derby result: he's been tweeting all weekend at the Mike Ashley Out campaign.
Hexham MP Guy Opperman has called Labour's planning policy "borderline madness", saying it would let urban councils build in the green belt of Northumberland with "no chance to object or disagree" for residents.
CRIME: A masked raider who attacked a pensioner in her own home with a metal bar turned out to be her trusted neighbour from the flat below.
John Angus had lost his job and was too scared to tell his wife, so he hatched a plot to rob the 69-year-old in the flat above him in Walker.
NEWS: Here is today's Chronicle front page.
We're leading on the story about adrenaline junkie Simon Bates, whose family have set up a charity in his memory after he plunged to his death from the slopes of Mont Blanc. Meanwhile, an animal-loving family in social housing have been told they must get rid of nine cats after a neighbour complained, while Toon band Maximo Park watched the local roller derby team to celebrate the release of their new album.
SPORT: And here is our Chronicle back page, leading on Lee Ryder's burning question after the Tyne-Wear derby: "Just what is going on?" We've also got a story on Tim Krul and Davide Santon's on-pitch square-up.
TRAVEL: We're seeing reports that there's been multi-vehicle collision on the A19 Northbound approach to the Tyne tunnel. We'll let you know as soon as we hear more.
TRAVEL: One lane is closed on the A19 southbound at Newcastle Road because a lorry has had its tire blow out and is waiting for help.
There's also a lane closed on the A19 in Gateshead - a car has broken down at Lindisfarne Roundabout (A194 Leam Lane) and there is congestion all the way up to Abingdon Way.
TRAVEL: All lanes are open on the southbound A19 - that poor broken down lorry has been safely removed to a lay by. Traffic is also easing northbound at Learn Lane.
NEWS: Greggs customers can now pay through their mobiles and earn loyalty points with a new app. It's invitation-only at the moment, but the baking giant hopes to role it out over the next few months.
TRAVEL: Northumbria Police say the broken-down car on the A-19 has now been moved and that normal travel has resumed.
NEWS: The inquest into the death of Vincent Gibson begins today - a South Shields man who died in hospital two years ago when he was struck by a police car speeding to the scene of a 999 call.
His wife Sandra, and his sons Liam and Michael, said he was "a well-loved and loving husband and father" and that they were "finding it hard to come to terms with what has happened."
Our reporter Sonia Sharma will be at the inquest and we'll bring you more news from her when we have it.
NEWS: A reader, Paul, has noticed something slightly odd about the picture used in our story about Greggs' new mobile app.
@EveningChron why is someone making an emergency call? No sausage rolls?— Paul (@L316HTN) February 3, 2014
For the record, the Chronicle does not endorse calling emergency numbers to ask for baked goods - you'll only end up all over the national news like the unfortunate Manchester United fan who demanded to speak to Sir Alex Ferguson.
SPORT: Chief sports writer tells how Tim Krul and Davide Santon had to be pulled apart during Newcastle United's derby horror show against Sunderland.
The duo squared up to each other after Adam Johnson's goal in the Tyne-Wear clash before Steven Taylor rushed in to separate his team-mates at 2-0 down.
Krul is believed to have slammed Santon after failing to put in a stronger challenge on Johnson after he palmed the ball into his path.
NEWS: A new campaign is being launched today that will target older women to increase early detection of breast cancer.
One in three women diagnosed with the illness in the North East each year is aged 70 or over, and this age group also accounts for more than half of all breast cancer deaths in the region each year.
Public Health England is now launching a new national Be Clear on Cancer campaign to remind older women "don't assume you're past it". Read the full story here.
POLITICS: Hexham MP Guy Opperman had a narrow escape in Westminster today:
Walking across the road to HofC this morning and almost got run over by John Prescott in his Jag - what a way to go!— Guy Opperman MP (@GuyOppermanMP) February 3, 2014

Kevin Lee Wood appeared before the city's magistrates' court accused of going into the Stamfordham Road BP garage at around 10.30pm on Saturday and, at knifepoint, demanding money from members of the staff.
Chairman of the bench Corolyn Hyslop declined jurisdiction and refused Graham, from Broomlee Close in Cochrane Park, bail.
He will appear at Newcastle Crown Court on February 17.
Friends of Wood sat at the back of the court were clearly unhappy at the decision and stormed out of the courtroom shouting abuse in the direction of the magistrate.
Following the failed armed robbery staff members at the petrol station, one of whom was grabbed by the throat in the attack, were left shaken but otherwise uninjured.
Detectives are continuing to investigate and appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Anyone with any information should contact police on 101, quoting reference 1566 010214.
Watch this space for a full story later.
NEWS: Today is the last day to have your say on Newcastle City Council's proposed cuts.

He blamed "the Government's austerity programme" and admitted there would be "an obvious an painful impact on everyone, particularly the most vulnerable in our communities."
The council wants to freeze council tax and up the living wage by lowering executive pay, but says this won't be enough.
Among the proposals are slimming down family services, "rationalising" adult safeguarding boards, cutting £500,00 from the adult learning disabilities service and ending night shift working in the city centre.
You can read the full proposals and have your say here. The consultation ends at midnight tonight.

Cleveland Police think he knew his attacker and believe he was deliberately and specifically targeted for beating with a wooden implement.
Mr Wiliams is known to the force, but Detective Inspector Mark Dimelow said: "The reality is, no one deserves to be treated in this way, no matter who they are."
He's now appealing for information from everyone in Whinney Banks, where the attack took place.
CELEBRITY: Here's a video of Cramlington teen star Chloe Wealleans-Watts performing at the Open Mic UK grand finals last week.
It's a cover of Brenda Lee's 'Always On My Mind', made popular by Elvis Presley - and sent through to us very kindly by Chloe's mum Claire.

Check out her previous stories here and here.

Alleged armed robber remanded in custody until trial - http://t.co/jPqd4TROLe - His mates called the magistrate "a slag" as they left court— Michael Brown (@mjeffbrown) February 3, 2014
Kevin Lee Wood appeared before the city's magistrates' court accused of going into the Stamfordham Road BP garage at around 10.30pm on Saturday and, at knifepoint, demanding money from members of the staff.
BREAKING: Five people have been arrested after a "disturbance" at a house in South Shields.
Officers arrived at the house in Heaton Gardens on Sunday afternoon and arrested five men aged 45, 42, 22, 21, and 20.
Northumbria Poliec said the men were "helping with enquiries" and believe they arrived in an Audi and two VW Golfs. Nobody inside the house was injured.
Detective Inspector Paul Woods said: "We're making enquiries to establish exactly what has happened and speaking with those involved.
"I'd like to reassure people that this appears to be an isolated incident and we believe that the address was not randomly targeted. Five people have been arrested in connection with the investigation.
"Any witnesses or anyone with information about the disturbance is asked to get in touch with police."
COURTS: Here's our story on the sentencing of Vicky Pattison.
The Geordie Shore star has been spared prison despite assaulting a model and a security guard at a city centre club.

Meanwhile, our chief sports writer Lee Ryder says Papiss Cisse has had a bid from Turkish team Fenerbahce today. Read that story here.
NEWS: A story from our sister paper, the Journal, shows local health chiefs have received pay rises of up to 17% while nurses and health care assistants got real term cuts topping 12%.
Figures from the Royal College of Nursing showed North East hospital bosses had their salaries increased by an average of 10.5% between 2010 and 2013, while mid-band nurses got a paltry 0.1% - or -12% if you take inflation into account.
RCN Regional director Glenn Turp said: "This is completely unacceptable. It is particularly galling that the Government is quite happy for NHS managers to get significant pay rises, while at the same time, the front line takes another hit."
STUDENTS: A little light relief for you. It's not new, but Twitter has directed our attention to a bizarre student TV attempt called 'Made in Jesmond'. It's...well, it's something.
"Mate, I'm not here to talk about calzone," says one character, seriously. "I don't want to live with you next year. Neither does Christian. You're just a bit crap, mate."
Northumberland University professor Chris Ashford said: "Oh dear."
That's it from me today on the Chronicle news live blog. I'm going to hand you over now to my colleague Sarah Jeffery, who'll take you through into the evening. Stay safe and good luck!
Good afternoon. I'm Sarah Jeffery and I'm here to bring you all the latest traffic, travel, news and weather through the afternoon rush hour until 10pm.

Liam Bridcutt was shocked to be thrown into the deepest of deep ends at St James' Park on Saturday, but you would never have known it from his performance.

The Cumbrian marked his 100th game for the club with a pair of tries and a man-of-the-match performance in Friday's 29-0 LV= Cup victory against Newport Gwent Dragons, but has competition by the bucketload to hold his place in the side.

SPORT: Chronicle columnist John Gibson gives his verdict on Newcastle United's 3-0 defeat to Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby
Alan Pardew stared into the television camera on the eve of the 150th Tyne-Wear derby and declared: "Only the result matters. Nothing else."
Well, Pardew has committed the cardinal sin on behalf of angry Geordies. He has humiliatingly lost three successive derbies, the last two at St James' Park by the shuddering margin of 3-0.
The last time the black-and-whites suffered triple disaster was back in 1923. That is 90 years ago, way beyond living memory.
Ironic, too, previous United managers have suffered much more for lesser demeanours.
TRAFFIC: Broom Lane in Durham has re-opened in both directions after earlier accident between A690 Neville's Cross Bank and Station Road.

The nature of our experience of a phenomenon and that of the physical nature of the same phenomenon are not the same. The "Temporal Doppler Effect" is an misleading name choice, that blurs that distinction. It has nothing to do with the nature of time at the most fundamental level of physics. It would have been better if B.R. had not brought physics into the discussion of a psychological observation, and I'm sure that foolish name encouraged it.
I have not read Amis book, but I'll bet it suffers from the absurdity of every fantasy of time-reversal I have seen. Everything goes backwards except for the mind describing the process. In a real time-reversal, that must include the mind, at each moment you are in a present where you have only the memories you had at that present when moving forward in time, and you have had no experience yet of the events you are backing away from, for in the present you are living, they are all in your unknown future.
IN "TIME'S Arrow", a novel by Martin Amis, the protagonist experiences time backwards. Eating involves regurgitating food into his mouth, sculpting the mush with his tongue, packaging it up and selling it to a grocery store. The passage on defecation is best left undescribed.
Such a comic device would once leave physicists cold. They used to think that time does not have a direction, at least at the subatomic level, though they now agree that it does. Ordinary people, of course, have always known this. Nearly all cultures have a version of the arrow of time, a process by which they move towards the future and away from the past. According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this has an interesting psychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events differently, depending on whether they are in the past or future.
The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their source is travelling towards or away from you (think of the change in pitch of an ambulance siren as it passes). Mr Caruso argues that something similar happens with people's perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as receding, something happening in one month feels psychologically closer than something that happened a month ago.
This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 volunteers (recruited through Mechanical Turk, Amazon's micro-job portal) and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine's day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a scale of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already experienced it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to rate the distance of hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry remained.
Interestingly, the effect can be reversed by manipulating time's arrow. In another experiment, participants were plugged into a virtual reality machine, with some moving forwards along a tree-lined street others backwards. Those who were moving backwards reported that past events began to feel closer.
Mr Caruso speculates that his research has implications for psychological well-being. He suspects that people who do not show this bias—those who feel the past as being closer—might be more subject to rumination or depression, because they are more likely to dwell on past events. He is also keen to test whether there are cultural differences in this perception (his past research has suggested that, for example, North Americans place more value on future events while East Asians place more value on history) and to study more closely those that do not follow the standard spatial metaphors of time, such as the Aymara, an Andean tribe, which talks of the past as being ahead of them.
There may also be lessons for politicians and business leaders. Talking of future plans may be more effective than boasting about past successes. "People want to know what are you going to do for me next, not what have you done for me lately," suggests Mr Caruso.

Creationism and Ohio's antiscience bill
A sponsor of Ohio's House Bill 597 — which if enacted would require the state's science standards to "prohibit political or religious interpretation of scientific facts in favor of another" — is giving mixed signals about his intentions.
A court battle on the horizon in Ohio?
"Count on a serious court battle if a few state legislators have their way and Intelligent Design and other religious interpretations of science are allowed to be taught in public schools," warns the Cleveland Plain Dealer (August 22, 2014).

Clarion University PEACE (People Encouraging Awareness in Community Economics) Club
partnered with the College of Business Administration Nov. 12 to present "A World on Fire," a panel discussing global issues and hot topics in the modern world.
The panelists, Clarion University faculty members, hail from various world regions:
Dr. Yao-Yu Chih, economics, Taiwan
Dr. Stephen Mensah, computer information sciences, Ghana
Dr. Thomas Rourke, political science, the United States
Dr. Gustavo Barboza, finance, Costa Rica
Dr. Vasudeva Aravind, physics, India
Dr. Yasser Ayad, geography, Egypt
"It gives students an opportunity to get different perspectives they wouldn't otherwise be exposed to, about topics that are of significance to the professors," said Kate Coen, president of PEACE.
Students asked questions, which were then debated among the panelists. Topics included
energy sustainability in India, international trade agreements and social networks, capacity building in information technology and the use of information technology to drive economic growth in Africa, the recession and its impacts in the United States and world, re-emerging slavery around the world and poverty in the developing world.
Along with Coen, Blayze Stefaniak served as masters of ceremonies. Dr. Phil Frese, CoBA dean, introduced the event to the faculty and students who attended. He praised PEACE and the panel of scholars for planning an event that allows students to learn about current events from different vantage points.
Each year, PEACE joins with All Hands Volunteers, a nonprofit disaster aid organization, to make a humanitarian trip. Last year the members traveled to New York to help with Hurricane Sandy relief, and they will make a similar trip this spring.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

DERRY — This police event always draws a crowd — for all the right reasons.
The Derry police annual summer blood drive June 26 drew crowds coming in from the heat to donate blood and help save lives.
The Derry drives are held twice a year to help support the American Red Cross and its mission to ensure adequate blood supplies during the busy summer months when need is often the greatest. Another drive is held in January.
The goal of the day was 350 pints and lines were long and steady even though the day was overcast and a bit rainy.
Last summer's drive netted more than 300 pints. By noon, business was brisk.
As an extra welcoming gesture, longtime Derry businessman and blood drive volunteer Sydney Barlow offered a friendly smile as donors came through the door.
Barlow, who ran Barlow's Flower Shop on Birch Street for 53 years, said he was happy to help. He is a member of the Derry Police Senior Advisory Committee.
"This is my favorite thing," he said.
American Red Cross collections operations supervisor Mary Jane Barrington said the local police do a great job with the blood drive and collection efforts.
"There is always a need," she said.
People always return each year, the familiar faces that always come back to help save a life.
"They have a lot to be proud of," she said. "And many have their own personal stories. People show up on a rainy day, that shows a commitment."
Fifteen-year-old Joey Puglisi wasn't old enough yet to be a blood donor, but he spent the day at the drive, volunteering and making sure everyone was directed to the correct place.
When he's 16, he said, he will be giving blood.
Joey will be a sophomore at Pinkerton Academy in the fall and said helping others is at the top of his list.
"I took all opportunities to come here today," he said. "It's my aspiration to always do good."
Red Cross communities program Manager mary Brant said the Derry drive is one of the most successful. The weather may even work in her favor.
"It's going very, very well," she said. "And we are excited about the rain. It might get people off the beach today and get them in the door."

He is called John in Acts 13:5, 13, and Mark in 15:39, 2 Tim. 4:11, etc. He was the son of Mary, a woman apparently of some means and influence, and was probably born in Jerusalem, where his mother resided (Acts 12:12). Of his father we know nothing. He was cousin of Barnabas (Col. 4:10). It was in his mother's house that Peter found "many gathered together praying" when he was released from prison; and it is probable that it was here that he was converted by Peter, who calls him his "son" (1 Pet. 5:13). It is probable that the "young man" spoken of in Mark 14:51, 52 was Mark himself. He is first mentioned in Acts 12:25. He went with Paul and Barnabas on their first journey (about A.D. 47) as their "minister," but from some cause turned back when they reached Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 12:25; 13:13). Three years afterwards a "sharp contention" arose between Paul and Barnabas (15:36-40), because Paul would not take Mark with him. He, however, was evidently at length reconciled to the apostle, for he was with him in his first imprisonment at Rome (Col. 4:10; Philemon 1:24). At a later period he was with Peter in Babylon (1 Pet. 5:13), then, and for some centuries afterwards, one of the chief seats of Jewish learning; and he was with Timothy in Ephesus when Paul wrote him during his second imprisonment (2 Tim. 4:11). He then disappears from view.

Neuroscience researchers from Connecticut College say Oreos may be as addicting as cocaine, but FOX 9 medical expert Dr. Archelle Georgiou says while this study is making headlines, proceed with caution, as the study has yet to be published. It does, however, have interesting ramifications in connection with obesity research.
STUDY: Are Oreos as addicting as cocaine?
Neuroscience researchers from Connecticut College say Oreos may be as addicting as cocaine in a study devised to examine the impact or high-fat and high-sugar foods in low-income neighborhoods.
In the study, rats were placed in a maze that either brought them to Oreos or to rice cakes. The rats gravitated toward the Oreos in the same way they did in a maze that featured cocaine or morphine and saline. The rats spent as much time at the end of the maze with the Oreos as they did with cocaine -- even eating the filling first as many of their human counterparts.
The study also suggests Oreos "activated significantly more neurons than cocaine or morphine," which could mean maladaptive behavior associated with obesity could be compared to that associated with drug use.
"Our research supports the theory that high-fat/ high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do," Connecticut College professor and research leader Joseph Schroeder said in a news release. "It may explain why some people can't resist these foods despite the fact that they know they are bad for them."

On 11/3/10, the halo was returned to the main seller, and I received only one of my four trades of my quest stuffs back for what I paid for the hacked halo.
On 11/11/10, the other three trades were returned by the admins! Thank you admins!
If you are looking for the old first page, I captured and saved it here on page 12525.
My angelic halo offer is right here.
