Emeli Sandé was set on being a doctor when music took over
Related Articles
Published: 22 April 2013
Emeli Sandé was well on the road to becoming a doctor - but decided to try her chances in the music industry after writing Diamond Rings, the hit she had with rapper Chipmunk.
The 26-year-old singer has a degree in clinical neuroscience along with an offer to study at Glasgow University for her final two years of her six-year medical degree.
She said she always focused on her studies as a more realistic prospect compared with the unpredictable nature of the music business.
She said: "I had these dreams, but what was more important to me was to feel that I had safety and security in my life. That meant not thinking about being a singer and focusing on studying to be a doctor.
"I felt you could work and work at music and nothing was guaranteed, but if you worked at school, at science, then you'd get something solid."
Ten years ago, Sandé won a music competition but as daunted by the prize- the chance to go to London to meet record producers.
She admitted: "I found it overwhelming. I guess there aren't many teenagers who would think going back to school was the better option, but I didn't want to be this girl desperate to be a singer with nothing else to fall back on. I never believed it could really happen to me."
At university, Sande had written the track 'Diamond Rings' for Chipmunk, and she reassessed her choices before asking for her father's blessing.
She revealed to the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Event magazine: "I'd reached a point where I had to follow my heart, my passion. 'Diamond Rings' proved I had something, I needed to see it through.
"I called my dad and asked him what he would do and he told me to go for it. A lot of my tutors weren't happy but I moved to London and became who I really wanted to be."

How often does XNA on WP7 read touches state? Can I make XNA do it more often?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
XNA's Update() method (one of the default five) is called 60 times a second, so the touch state can be updated in there thus meaning it is also updated 60 times a sec. Its your choice how you update the touch state. The win phone os will have internal updates but for your game you can check the states through the TouchPanel class.

A bit of a drive to a place you can buy land for $125. But why would you want to live there? I'm not sure.
It is a little town SW of Brandon, MB. We visited the swinging bridge which takes you right to the museum and back into town. We visited the rock shop and got our pass to the gravel pit after a lesson on what to look for. We came back with bags of rocks yet to be put to use, and a couple of beauties for our rock garden.
We hiked to the old Oak in Victoria park and went to the live performance in The Plum tea room - what a hoot!
Cute little memory.

'Lincoln' leads race for British Academy Awards
LONDON (AP) — Historical biopic "Lincoln" leads the race for the British Academy Film Awards, with 10 nominations at the U.K. equivalent of the Oscars.
Epic musical "Les Miserables" and boy-meets-tiger saga "Life of Pi" received nine nominations each, while James Bond adventure "Skyfall" got eight — rare awards recognition for an action movie — and Iran hostage thriller "Argo" took seven.
Lincoln's nods, announced Wednesday, include best picture and three acting nominations — Daniel Day-Lewis for leading actor, Sally Field for supporting actress and Tommy Lee Jones for supporting actor. But there was nothing for the film's director, Steven Spielberg.
The best picture nominees are "Lincoln," ''Les Miserables," ''Life of Pi," ''Argo" and Osama bin Laden thriller "Zero Dark Thirty."
Ben Affleck is nominated both as director of "Argo" and as its leading actor. The other male acting contenders are Day-Lewis, Bradley Cooper for "The Silver Linings Playbook," Hugh Jackman for "Les Miserables" and Joaquin Phoenix for "The Master."
The best-actress shortlist includes Emmanuelle Riva for "Amour," Helen Mirren for "Hitchcock," Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook," Jessica Chastain for "Zero Dark Thirty" and Marion Cotillard for "Rust and Bone."
In recent years, the awards, known as BAFTAs, have helped underdog films including "Slumdog Millionaire," ''The King's Speech" and "The Artist" gain momentum for Oscars success.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on Feb. 10, two weeks before the Hollywood awards.

The "burdensome requirements" of corroboration should be removed from the law, according to a United Nations committee dealing with women's rights.
In its concluding observations on a periodic report submitted by the United Kingdom under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women ("CEDAW") also calls for a review of the limitation period for civil actions based on alleged sexual abuse.
Among a lengthy list of conclusions and recommendations, CEDAW comments at paras 26 and 27: "The Committee is concerned that, following the findings of the Carloway Review of criminal law and practice in Scotland, the burdensome requirements of corroboration impede the prosecution of rape and other sexual violence cases. The Committee is also concerned that the three-year limitation period for sexual abuse cases for civil law suits in Scotland, including where a child is a victim, unduly limits access to justice for victims.
"The Committee urges the State party to:
(a) Consider implementing the recommendations of the Carloway Review regarding the removal of the corroboration requirement in criminal cases related to sexual offences; and,
(b) Expand the limitation period for civil claims regarding abuse, particularly of girls, so that they can still initiate proceedings when they are adults."
Among other matters, CEDAW also calls for:
Abolition of the rule will take place if the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, currently before Holyrood, is enacted. The bill is supported by women's organisations but opposed by many in the legal profession.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has named Ray Casey, who directed the city's Trade Waste Commission, to head New York City Off-Track Betting Corp., the New York Post reported Feb. 21. Bloomberg also said the city wouldn't sell the betting corporation, at least for now."Whether or not the city would be better off operating it or selling it is partly a function of how good a job Ray Casey does, and what the market is," the Post reported Bloomberg as saying during a news conference.Rudolph Giuliani, the city's previous mayor, last year tabbed a group headed by Magna Entertainment to buy NYCOTB, though the proposed sale required legislative approval. The deal never went through.Casey, a cousin to Giuliani, said he was brought in to make money for, not sell, the business, the Post reported.The latest news comes only days after Barry Schwartz, chairman of the New York Racing Association, told The Blood-Horse he planned to renew the quest for NYCOTB. (NYRA also submitted a bid for the corporation in 2001.) Schwartz said he planned to meet with Bloomberg to discuss a proposal.

Existentialtism Lyrics
Artist: TISM
Album: Hot Dogma
You know, me and my baby, no couple like us;
We got our Sartre, we got our Camus.
I love her 'cos I hate the stinking bitch -
She's like a train - or a horse - I forget which.
Who cleans the home?
John Paul Sartre?
Simone de Boviour?
I'm the outsider, not for me conventional law
(Though here's a tip - the book's a bore ).
I'll take responsibility for my inner most wishes,
But I'll be buggered if I'll do the dishes.
Now my baby's left me, she's walked out the door,
She said she won't touch my six inch gold blade anymore.
I'm aware that One can never really know Other -
But fuck existentialism, I'm going back to mother.
I believe the lyric should read, "Says she doesn't want my six inch gold blade anymore," AND "Stuff existentialtism". Don't gild the lily.

As India's financial capital shut down for the weekend funeral of a powerful politician linked to waves of mob violence, a woman posted on Facebook that the closures in Mumbai were "due to fear, not due to respect." A friend of hers hit the "like" button.
For that, both women were arrested.
Analysts and the media are slamming the Maharashtra state government for what they said was a flagrant misuse of the law and an attempt to curb freedom of expression. The arrests were seen as a move by police to prevent any outbreak of violence by supporters of Bal Thackeray, a powerful Hindu fundamentalist politician who died Saturday.
"We are living in a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship," Markandey Katju, a former Supreme Court justice who now heads the Press Council of India, wrote in a protest letter to the chief minister of Maharashtra.
Katju demanded that the state government suspend the police officers who had ordered the arrests and prosecute them.
The women withdrew the comment and apologized, but angry Thackeray supporters ransacked an orthopedic clinic run by the uncle of one woman.
A lawyer representing the women, Sudheer Gupta, said police arrested them Sunday, the day of the funeral, on charges of creating enmity and hatred. They were released on bail Monday.
Shaheen Dhada, the 21-year-old who posted the comment appeared on television Tuesday, her face covered by a scarf so that only her eyes were visible.
Clearly terrified by her arrest and the attack on her uncle's clinic, Dhada told NDTV television she would never again make comments on a social networking site. Both women said they have deactivated their Facebook accounts.
Dhada described her arrest as "unfair."
"It was not a crime," Renu Srinivas, Dhada's friend who also was arrested, told NDTV.
India's Information Technology Minister Kapil Sibal said he was "deeply saddened" by the arrests of the two women.
"Freedom of speech is a very important right, and we need to protect it," Sibal told reporters. He said the government would re-examine the laws governing information technology to prevent its misuse by the police.
"We want to make sure that this law is not meant to prevent people from stating their point of view on any issue," Sibal said Tuesday.
Shops and offices were closed Sunday as more than 1.5 million people attended Thackeray's funeral.
He was never elected to office but was seen for decades as Mumbai's most powerful man. He created an army of supporters by weaving Hindu fundamentalism with ardent defense of Marathis, Mumbai's dominant ethnic group.
Thackeray founded his political party, the Shiv Sena - which means Shiva's Army - with the sole aim of keeping people who are not from Maharashtra out of the state and stemming the spread of Islam and Western values.
Spurred by Thackeray's rabble-rousing speeches, his supporters routinely resorted to violence against Muslims and migrant workers who had come to Mumbai in search of work. He is among those blamed for a wave of religious violence in 1992 that left nearly 1,000 people dead in Mumbai alone.
Analysts say it was as sense of fear that kept millions of people off the streets of the bustling city on Sunday. Nearly 20,000 policemen patrolled the deserted streets, mainly because of the violent history of the Shiv Sena.
No violence occurred Sunday. A day later, a relieved Mumbai police chief, Satyapal Singh, praised the "unexpectedly orderly behavior" of Thackeray's supporters.
But the thuggish behavior was in evidence Monday when a mob of Thackeray's supporters stormed the orthopedic clinic, destroying its operating rooms and much of its equipment. Nurses and patients fled but no one was hurt.
On Tuesday, police said they had detained nine men for their involvement in the attack of the clinic. It was not immediately clear if the men belonged to the Shiv Sena.
The Mumbai arrests came barely two months after the Maharashtra police arrested a political cartoonist on sedition charges for drawings that mocked corruption in the Indian government. The charges were dropped and the cartoonist is out on bail. Earlier this year, a university professor was arrested in the state of West Bengal for forwarding an email cartoon that caricatured the chief minister there.

CHART OF THE DAY: Here's How Much Tech Companies Are Spending On Lobbying (GOOG, AAPL, YHOO, IBM, T)

With the FTC breathing down its neck, Google has stepped up its lobbying spend in the last year, shelling out $4.03 million in 2009. That's up 44% from the year prior.
Despite the growth, Google's lobbying spend remains relatively small. Microsoft spent $6.7 million in 2009. Comcast spent $12.6 and AT&T spent $14.7 million.
We decided to take a look at lobbying from tech companies after we ran a chart looking at ad spending for tech companies. (For what it's worth, Google's lobbying is half what it spends on advertising.) Our lobbying data comes from the Senate Office of Public Affairs database. We also graphed lobbying spend as a percent of revenue.
Interestingly, of the companies we looked at, Apple spends the least on lobbying as percent of revenue. Guess that's the advantage of not dominating any market.

Rui est venu nous chercher à un point de rendez-vous prés de chez lui, l'accueil a été très sympathique, une corbeille de fruits de leur verger était sur la table, il nous a bien conseillé sur les choses à voir et les restaurants.
Le logement est spacieux et très propre, on peut manger sur la terrasse avec une vue agréable.
Le linge de toilette et de lit est fourni et est impeccable.
We were made to feel extremely welcome upon arrival. The accommodation was very comfortable with a lovely view of the farm and of the surrounding area. It was extremely peaceful and perfect for relaxing in at the end of our trip.
The location was good with parking on site and about 5 minutes drive to Lagos which is a lovely town.
Rui und seine Frau sind die perfekten Gastgeber. Sie stets sehr hilfsbereit ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Dass der Ort nicht direkt am Strand liegt ist kein Problem, da man mit Bus oder Auto schnell in Lagos ist. Wir bedanken uns für die Gastfreundlichkeit und hoffen bald noch einen weiteren schönen Urlaub dort verbringen zu können.
L accueil a été chaleureux, la maison est sur un beau terrain, au calme entourée de verdure... Et on était proche de tout ... Belle expérience...
We had an awesome holiday in this amazing house upon a small hill including a magnificent view on the portugese landscape. However, the best part of our trip were the hosts (Rui & Marlene, Mario and the whole family). They were nicest hosts we ever had. Not only were they very obliging but also very helpful with every issue that we had. We felt as part of the whole family which was a wonderful and very pleasent surprise for us. Million thanks to the whole family and we are foward to see you again. Anne & Thomas
Nous avons reçu le meilleur accueil depuis que je voyage avec Airbnb. La maison est formidadable et les propriétaires si gentils qu'ils nous font vite sentir comme à la maison. Nous serions reste des semaines de plus si cela avait été possible. Merci pour tout!
We had a lovely stay at Maria and Rui's. The apartment was very spacious, it had all the amenities we needed and more (iron, hairdryer, microwave, toaster, etc) and it had a beautiful view over the surrounding houses and hills. The neighbourhood is very nice and very quiet. You will need a car though, because the house is situated on the outskirts of the village. You could use the bus ( the bus station in the village is approx. 20 minutes walking distance) however, the bus service is not very frequent outside the high season (july, august). The nearest beach, Meia Praia, is about 4 km away (one hour walking distance). The owners were very nice. Rui was not home when we arrived, but Maria showed us to our apartment and Rui came to meet us and wish us a warm welcome afterwards. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation.

Should not be a 3 star hotelPosted Jun 18, 2015
Pros: Morning staff person was very nice.
Cons: Smelled, needs updating.
Very outdated, smelled in the hallway and in the room. Worried my clothes would smell. Did not feel like a 3 star hotel. Disappointed in the place, wished I could have cancelled and booked elsewhere.

Get you pay for but close to Granite Peak and has nice pool area with hot tub.
by A verified traveler from Pittsville WI
Old, dated, and smellyPosted Jan 27, 2015
Pros: Location
Cons: The smell in the rooms.
We checked in at 5 pm, we waited over half an hour to get checked in. When we got to our room, it must of been 90 degrees. We checked the heat to make sure it was off. Then left for a few hours, when we came back the room was even hotter. We called down to the front desk and let them know. The clerk said it was an old boiler system to open the window. No screens were on the windows. Also, there were enlisted men and they kept us up until 1:00 am with their running in the halls, yelling, and constant knocking/pounding on doors. We came for a 2 day conference and the conference room we were in smelled musty and moldy. Our room was not much better.

Was that the "Continental Breakfast?"Posted Dec 19, 2014 on Hotels
The hotel was nice. The staff was very friendly. However, It has the feeling of an aging building in need of a face lift. Truely, if you can get it for the right price...it's really close to Granite Peak and very convienient for a ski weekend. But the continental breakfast was pathetic. We all know that competition has brought on a return of full buffet style hot continental breakfast at many of the major hotel brands. So when I was told that they had a full hot breakfast I knew what to expect. What I woke up too was luke warm mini pancakes dry mini muffins some cereal and an empty coffee pot. I felt bad for the multiple families that were understandably frustrated because they had planned on an easy breakfast for the kids and now had to scramble to figure something out. It's fine if you don't offer a rockstar breakfast...but please don't advertise that you do!

our annual getawayPosted Dec 3, 2014 on Hotels
the availability of the pool and hot tub was very limited due to the kids that occupied it for the majority of the day. use of the pool and hot tub was one of the things we looked forward to during our stay.

I love a good, basic jeans and tee shirt combo. In fact, most of what I wear is jeans and a tee shirt, or a skirt and a tee shirt. So when my good friend Dana sent over her latest pattern The Anywhere Skirt for me to try, I went ahead and made a denim version for a super versatile Anywhere, Anytime, Anyway Jeans and a Tee Shirt Skirt! And I love it.
The pattern is more like a "choose your own adventure" workshop, walking you though the steps of measuring, drafting, and cutting out the pieces you'll need to make the skirt in any size, in any of the variations she offers.
It was a quick sew, and would be really great project for someone getting started with pattern drafting or apparel sewing. Read More

... found a Lululemon and did a little shopping. Tami took me to get an english donut, (beignet) which is a must try. We took a little nap after that.

Yesterday, I mentioned the House of Blues job fair was, well, yesterday; turns out, not so much, as evidenced by the notice cut-and-pasted above that says, yeah, it's today and tomorrow. So, yeah, yeah -- the city might not make any tax revenue off HOB till 2018, give or take, but who's to say you can't take home a slice of that Victory Park pie and see the likes of King of Leon, the Old 97's, Joss Stone, Joseph Arthur and Erykah Badu whilst doing so.

Energy and materials shares led U.S. stocks higher Friday, as
the Federal Reserve's bond-buying plan continued to bring out
buyers, overshadowing muted retail sales and industrial
production data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 53.51
points, or 0.4%, to 13593.37, its fourth-straight daily gain.
The blue-chip barometer pared earlier gains after being up as
much as 113 points, but reached another multiyear closing high,
with investors inspired by the Federal Reserve's additional
economic stimulus announced Thursday.
