Scarlett has been out of the music work for a year or two now but some year's ago she said she was in the middle of making a all girl group well that what she did, The group is called The Singles that also features as the other members Este Haim of Haim, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris, and Julia Haltigan. The group just put out there first song called Candy. And you can Pre-order the Candy 12-inch single Here.
Scarlett Johansson's past musical projects have included an album of Tom Waits covers, a Serge Gainsbourg-inspired collaboration with Pete Yorn and a role in Bob Dylan's vintage "When the Deal Goes Down" music video. Now, she's not just going pop, she's going – as she puts it – "super-pop," fronting a band featuring Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan. Este Haim, the oldest of the Haim sisters, plays drums.
"The idea was to write super-pop dance music written and performed by girls," says Johansson, citing the influence of Grimes, the Bangles and the Go-Go's. "I wanted it to be like those bands: ultra-pop but also a little ironic, a little in on the joke."
Below, hear their first single, the cheeky "Candy," a three-minute electro jam that brings to mind a lost Robyn song inspired by Aaron Carter's take on Bow Wow Wow's own junk-food-as-metaphor hit, "I Want Candy." The track was produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, who previously worked with Johansson on the Waits LP. At the time, he compared her voice to that of Debbie Harry.

Scarlett Johansson, in between playing Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has continued to find time to work on independent and/or prestigious fare in recent years, including such films as Don Jon, Her, and Under the Skin. That will continue to hold true in the foreseeable future, as Johansson is now attached to headline a fresh book-turned movie adaptation: the psychological thriller The Psychopath Test.
Psychopath Test is based on the 2011 book "The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry": author Jon Ronson's controversial (more on that later) study of psychopathic behavior and the reliability of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It's being adapted for the big screen by author/scribe Kristin Gore; a former Futurama TV show story editor, who penned the source novel for Accidental Love (the troubled project eventually disowned by director David O. Russell).
Over the last month I have been added in a lot of new photos and events from 1996 to 2000 that the site did not have. A lot of these events and photos are very rare to find and there are still a lot more I am trying to get hold of. So I hope you all enjoy them all.

After the sunset on the second last night, we headed to the Greek restaurant, that we couldn't get in the previous night. We both went for kebabs, I went for chicken and Maureen went for lamb. It came with homeade pittas, garlic yogurt and roasted potatoes. The food was good, but again it doesn't compare to our local Greek restaurant ...

Most of the hostel headed off to the bars and clubs around 11ish. I went with the three girls to the clubs and were going to meet other people there. Whilst Kelly and myself was getting directions Becky and Laura walked off and left us because they thought they knew the way. They didn't.

The stunning new thriller the twentieth Doc Ford novel from the New York Times bestselling author.
Both Doc Ford and his friend Tomlinson have buried secrets. Now one of those secrets is about to come alive with a vengeance.
While trying to solve one of Florida's most profound secrets, Doc Ford is the target of a murder attempt by someone who wants to make it look like an accident. Or is the target actually Tomlinson? Whatever the answer, the liveaboards and fishing guides at Dinkin's Bay on Sanibel Island are becoming increasingly nervous and wary after a near-poisoning, a plane crash, and an explosion make it apparent that Ford and Tomlinson are dangerous companions.
What their small family of friends don t know is that their secret pasts make it impossible for the two of them to go to the law for help. There is an assassin on the loose, and it is up to them to find the killer before he (or she) finishes the job.
About the Author
Randy Wayne White is the author of eleven previous Doc Ford novels - The Heat Islands, Sanibel Flats, The Man Who Invented Florida, Captiva, North of Havana, The Mangrove Coast, Ten Thousand Islands, Shark River, Twelve Mile Limit, Everglades, and the New York Times bestselling Tampa Burn - and of the nonfiction collections Batfishing in the Rainforest, The Sharks of Lake Nicaragua, Last Flight Out, and An American Traveler. A veteran fishing guide, he lives in an old house on an Indian mound in Pineland, Florida.
Praise For…
Praise for NIGHT MOVES
"Over his last several Doc Ford novels, White has vaulted to mainstream bestseller status. This one is likely to maintain the pattern."—Booklist
"Captivating . . . [an] intriguing installment."—Publishers Weekly
"White weaves in and out of the two mysteries — the murder attempt and Flight 19 — telling the story with the same tight, vivid prose his fans have come to expect. The result is another strong addition to one of crime fiction's most consistent series."—Associated Press
"Drawing on his usual mix of science, ecology and Florida lore, White reels in an exciting story in "Night Moves" . . . [the novel] illustrates why, after 20 novels, Ford's double life and White's attention to the Florida scenery continue to intrigue readers."—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"Wild Sardines in organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil"
Nitongale1 on 3/20/2015 3:07:55 PM
Review: Very good. I use it over many dishes suc as Rice, Stew etc
"Superb Sardines!"
Donna Kohl on 1/10/2015 1:40:37 PM
Review: This product is the best tasting sardines I/we've ever tasted. So very good for your health also.
Doris Lehman on 12/20/2014 6:25:27 PM
Review: I love the wild sardines from Vital Choice they are nothing like the ones in the stores. Big, full and meaty they make a wonderful meal anytime of day. Thanks for all the work and care you do to bring them to us.
Bonnie Taylor on 12/10/2014 5:40:23 PM
Review: These sardines are delicious! Loved 'em and will keep these in my stocks.
"Tastes like sardines"
Mary Lewis on 11/14/2014 11:02:11 AM
Review: These taste like other sardines I have tried. I recently put sardines in my diet for health reasons, I can't say I really like them. I ordered these more expensive ones hoping for a better experience compared to the other brands I have tried. Perhaps I would like them. Perhaps they wouldn't be dry. But they taste pretty much like another brand Portuguese sardines I tried.
Why the 5 stars? The ingredients. This was the only brand I could find with sea salt rather than table salt, which is very unhealthy, and it has organic olive oil.
"Great for lunch or snack!"
Bonni Akalis on 11/13/2014 5:19:52 PM
Review: DELICIOUS!!!! I really love these sardines....Very quick and healthy snack or lunch!

Maureen Sullivan on 10/30/2014 8:23:20 AM
Review: Classic sardine flavor but kicked up a notch or two. Used it to make the classic St. Joseph Day Sicilian dish 'pasta con sarde' and it was fantastic. If you're a sardine fan, you can't go wrong with these fillets.

Well it was really a matter of where we could get in as every place we tried was booked out or full and it's Tuesday night!!!!! Anyway the food was just ok ( we'll it was Mexican after all....) but the company was lovely and we had a great time. Last night in New York ...

After our big bike ride we went back to the hotel and had a nap. We woke up feeling groggy and totally unmotivated at about 8:30pm so we ordered some take away and called it a night. Even though there is only 5 hours difference between NY and London the jet lag took a good 3-4 days to wear off and feel normal again.

Friday, October 9, 2015
Pushing pedal to the mettle and its breezily thin, goofy story to the breaking point, "Premium Rush" provides just about all the late summer air-conditioned relief you could hope for. It's buoyant dumb-fun, a ticking-clock thriller about a New York bicycle messenger who has to get from here to there without being taken out. Stuffed with zingers and zippy stunts, it comes with pretty young things of all hues and hair types — few prettier than its lead, Joseph Gordon-Levitt — and start-to-finish clever special effects, none more clever or special than Michael Shannon. If you want to see a political undertow in its urban band of multicultural renegades, there's that for the taking too. — Manohla Dargis

How to Toast a Girl
A toast is offered when persons sharing a drink raise their drinks and offer a salutation to the subject at hand, an event, or a person. Toasting a girl is much the same, depending on whether you offer a pithy, humorous introduction, or a statement of affection or praise. Here are some steps to follow for a successful toast to your female friend.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Call attention to the fact you intend to raise a toast. Often, this is done by saying, "I would like to propose a toast to....".
2Wait for your associates, dining partners, or event attendees to recognise your intentions and to lift their glasses from the table if they are not already holding them.
3Compose a brief comment in your mind so you will know exactly what you plan to say.
4Speak clearly and enunciate your words carefully. Toasts do not have to be shouted, but everyone intended to hear them should be able to do so.
5Raise your glass and offer it forward the group you are with can touch yours with the rim of theirs to show their accord/ agreement with what you have stated.
6Set your glass down after the toast so everyone can relax and continue what they were doing.
7Avoid staring at the lady to whom you have offered your toast, as she may become embarrassed by the attention drawn to her if she is present.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Make sure everyone in your group or at your table has a glass with at least a small amount of liquid in them.
- Be sensitive to the group you are with, and to the person the toast is directed to.
- Avoid offering a toast to a girl in raucous circumstances or among inebriated persons, as broken glasses may result.
Things You'll Need
- a round of drinks for the group you are with

Nyack Named a Military Friendly School
Posted by Deborah.Walker on Tuesday August 25, 2009
G.I. Jobs magazine has named Nyack College a 2010 Military Friendly School after the publication's research and tracking of our nation's institutions of higher education.
Dr. Scales was recently notified of the recognition, which places Nyack in the top 15% of all American colleges, universities, and trade schools that welcome military members and veterans pursuing degree programs. A plaque will be presented to commemorate the distinction. In addition, Nyack will be included in the September 2009, Guide to Military Friendly Schools.
In his letter to President Scales, G.I. Jobs magazine publisher, Rich McCormack stated, "Clearly you have an interest in recruiting military students and I urge you to continue your already stellar efforts by improving your military-friendliness every year. On behalf of the eight million military members and veterans seeking a school, I thank you for your commitment to educating our nation's most deserving heroes."

Seattle (70-77) at Kansas City (57-91)
The Kansas City Royals are trying to salvage something positive from another lost season as they try to avoid baseball's worst record for the second straight season.
Kansas City hopes Mark Redman can help it miss that dubious distinction when he starts the third of a four-game set against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
A win by Kansas City (57-91) combined with a loss by Tampa Bay in its game against Toronto would move the Royals past the Devil Rays.
"It's still not a great year, even if we win the rest of our games," Royals manager Buddy Bell said.
Redman (9-9, 5.40 ERA), the team's ace and lone All-Star representative this season, has struggled since the break, going 3-5 with a 5.56 ERA in six starts. He gave up five runs and nine hits in 4 2-3 innings of a 9-3 loss to Boston on Sunday.
"I just felt rusty, like it was a week since I pitched," Redman said. "Well, it was a week."
Redman has a good chance to rebound from the loss when he faces the Mariners. In his last four starts against Seattle, the left-hander is 3-0 with a 3.70 ERA despite a .340 opponent batting average.
The Royals hope to avoid their third consecutive 100-loss season, including a club-record 106 defeats last year.
"Too many good things have happened around here to pay that much attention to it," Bell said.
They got closer to that milestone, though, after squandering a six-run, second-inning lead in an 11-8 loss to the Mariners (70-77) on Friday.
Adrian Beltre was 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and five RBIs for Seattle. He was 3-for-4 with three RBIs in a 10-8 loss Thursday in the series opener.
"The only good thing about getting behind by six runs that early is that it's early," Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said. "You've got a lot of at bats to try to make up ground. Every inning you try to score one run. That's our goal."
Joel Pineiro (8-11, 6.02) returns to the rotation for the remainder of the season after making seven relief appearances for Seattle. Working out of the bullpen, Pineiro was 1-0 with a 3.31 ERA and recorded a save while limiting opponents to a .213 average.
The right-hander has tallied a career-high 11 losses each season since 2003. His ERA also has nearly doubled in that span.
Pineiro is 7-11 with a 6.36 ERA in 24 starts this season. He has lost his last three consecutive starts with his last win coming on July 24 against Toronto.

I just wanted to say that I was impressed by your packaging and shipping. I found you when I was searching for papers I just couldn't get locally and thought it was worth trying an order. I'd been resigned to the idea that small paper orders would end up rolled and in a tube, but I was pleasantly surprised to find my order shipped flat and well protected. Thank you. I will be ordering from you again.

Oilers agree to sign goalie Ilya Bryzgalov - 0 Comments
EDMONTON, Alberta — The Edmonton Oilers say they have a verbal agreement in place to sign goalie Ilya Bryzgalov to a one-year contract.
Bryzgalov's deal was contingent upon the completion of trade with the Calgary Flames that cleared defenseman Ladislav Smid's $3.5 million cap hit off the books.
The Philadelphia Flyers bought out of the final seven years of Bryzgalov's $51 million, nine-year contract during the season and the 33-year-old Russian goalie attended training camp with the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers.

The hardest question to answer?

- The hardest question to answer?
[ What would you say was the hardest ever question to answer? ]
There must be more of them than you can even think of. One of them would
be as to how many items of clothing you have ever hung out on the line
to dry. Unless you have never hung any out at all that is. Another
might be what did Henry the Third have for breakfast on his tenth
birthday. But they are easy to answer simply by saying that you
don't know. And that would probably be the truth of it. But many do
seem to have an aversion to saying that they do not know. Fools answer
all questions where wise folks would fear to tread.

Postgraduate prospectus 2015
There are three MLitt Popular Music programmes offered: Creative Practice (Popular Music Studies), Music Industries (Popular Music Studies), and Popular Music. They are the first postgraduate degrees in popular music in Scotland.
The Popular Music Studies programme aims to introduce and develop a critical understanding of the academic study of Popular Music at postgraduate level.
As a relatively new area of academic enquiry, Popular Music Studies draws upon a range of academic disciplines including Sociology, Cultural Studies, Musicology and Literary Studies. It is inherently multidisciplinary and a range of academic approaches will be adopted throughout the programme. This will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to critically evaluate the role of Popular Music in contemporary society.
The Music Industries programme includes a placement which has been designed for those seeking a career in the creative industries, and more specifically, the music industries including record companies, management companies and promoters. This programme is unique in the UK, offering the only postgraduate placement involving a tailored research project within a music industries organisation. You will spend part of semester two on placement with one of a number of music industries employers.
The postgraduate Certificate/Diploma/M.Litt in Popular Music Studies was introduced in September 2007. The course is suitable for graduates from a range of disciplines and subject areas including Popular Music, Music, Sociology, Business Studies, Politics, History etc. Candidates do not have to be musicians to apply and pathways have been developed to allow for a range of specialisms and exit routes.
The degree programmes are located in one of the UK's most important cites for popular music. In recent years Glasgow has produced acts such as Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, Belle and Sebastian and former Glasgow student Emeli Sande. This has built on a longer tradition of acts such as the Delgados, Mogwai, Orange Juice, the Teenage Fan Club, Deacon Blue, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, etc etc.
The city also boasts a number of important venues including the Barrowland Ballroom, King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, The O2 Academy, the O2 ABC, the Classic Grand, Oran Mor, the Arches, and the SECC. Important Glasgow labels include Chemikal Underground, Soma and Rock Action. In sum the city has a vibrant and exciting music scene.
Many of those active within that scene have expressed support for the programme and a number are involved in various ways including offering placement opportunities.
There are three separate degree programmes with a common core. The degrees are Popular Music Studies, Popular Music Studies (Music Industries) and Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice). They have been designed to allow students to specialise according to whether their interest in Popular Music Studies is primarily academic, based on an interest in working in the music industries or as a creator. The pathways through the separate degree programmes are listed below.
|Core Modules (semester 1)

1 The music industries placement gives you the chance to work within a music industries environment as part of a placement. You will undertake a project supervised by the host organisation in conjunction with academic staff.
2 The creative project can include work such as song writing; making music for a film or video; or designing and performing a gig. You will benefit from the personal supervision of an academic, who is also a practitioner.
Music Industries Placement
Those opting for the Music Industries pathway spend semester 2 on placement with a one of a number of Music Industries employers.
The placement provides the student with experience of a work environment within the Music Industries or related industries and allows them to critically reflect upon practice within those industries.
The aims of the placement are to:
Music facilities within the School include three studios, the Audio Lab, a small library and a number of seminar and practice rooms. The School also has preferential access to the University Concert Hall. For more information on bookings rooms, please contact the Music Secretary, or refer to the Music Handbook for details.
Please note, the Music facilities are only for those students enrolled on Music courses within the School of Culture & Creative Arts. For all other University of Glasgow students, please visit the St. Andrews Building for practice rooms.
A short walk from the Music building, in the University's main Gilbert Scott building, is the University Concert Hall. The School has preferential access to the hall and uses it extensively for recitals, performance practice and teaching. The Concert Hall houses two Steinway Model D grand pianos, an 1840s Broadwood grand, and a Mozart-era fortepiano, two chamber organs (one an 18th-century Snetzler), two harpsichords, an extensive range of percussion and other instruments for the performance of orchestral and contemporary music. In addition to the instruments housed in the Concert Hall the School also owns a fine consort of viols, baroque strings, recorders, crumhorns and other wind instruments. The Concert Hall also houses Music's Diffusion System for the public performance of electroacoustic music.
Music students have access to ten practice rooms for solo instrumental or ensemble practice. Five of these rooms are located in the Music building, with three in the adjacent Modern Languages Buiding and the remaining two soundproof rooms in the Hetherington Building.
The largest of the Music rooms, 'The Club Room' contains a baby grand piano and is big enough for ensemble rehearsal. All other rooms contain an upright piano, a full length mirror and a music stand. These rooms can be booked in advance, for up to 2 hours a day by students studying within Music.
The Music building houses its own small reference library. It holds a high quality selection of books and scores that complement those provided by the main University Library. In addition, the Music Library also houses eight PC workstations running Microsoft Office and Finale notation software. Each machine has an attached MIDI keyboard for quick and intuitive notation entry. A microfiche scanner is also provided to aid musicological research.
Students have access to the Music Audio Lab for audio production, acoustics, composition and sound synthesis work. The lab contains 12 Apple iMacs each with Avid audio hardware, a MIDI keyboard and a comprehensive suite of installed software including:-
Each machine is connected to a high quality playback system.
The School has three studios dedicated to composition and audio production. Studios One and Two are housed in the Gilbert Scott Building above the Concert Hall. Both feature audio tie-lines linking them to the Concert Hall, the Bute Hall and each other. Studio Three is a smaller composition studio housed in the Music building.
All the studios are based around Apple Mac G5 digital audio workstations running a comprehensive suite of applications including:-
The Diffusion System is used for public performances of music by international and Glasgow based composers including current students. The system is located in the University Concert Hall. It comprises an 8-channel speaker array and sound diffusion desk for live sound processing and spatialisation.
Diffusion hardware includes:
I believe that the skills and experience I gained on the MLitt helped me to gain my current job. I stood out from other candidates because of the skills I had developed and the music industries experience I gained as part of the programme.

MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
The University of Glasgow offered an exciting program, and the course specifics were the most important factor in my decision (in particular, the work placement aspect). Further, the University maintains an excellent academic reputation worldwide; I would not have felt confident investing a year (and tuition, of course) in anything less. The university staff are to be credited with playing a key role in my success on the course, especially with egard to my dissertation, for which I received outstanding guidance and support.
Lauren Hulstedt, New York,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2010-11
The music industries course was taught by John Williamson who manages Belle and Sebastian. His experience, knowledge and insight are second to none. The mixture of academic theory and practical insight is a major strength of the MLitt. This course is unique in British Universities.
John Markey, Young Aviators,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2010-11
I chose to do the Popular Music Studies Masters in order to bring a critical focus to my experiences working in the live music sector. I was attracted by the structure of the course that combined taught, industry placement and research components. As far as I was aware this was the only course to offer such a combination and as such offered a unique experience that I was keen to pursue. The structure of the course is excellent as it encourages students to make the transition from taught degree towards research through the final dissertation. The dissertation project allowed me to develop research interests and skills that have been vital in me being able to progress to PhD level.
Kenny Barr, PhD student, Music and Copyright, University of Glasgow,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
I would recommend the MLitt to anyone thinking of pursuing doctoral-level research into popular music, as I feel that it gave me an excellent introduction to the field before specialising. As well as developing my academic skills, taking the MLitt has allowed me to network more effectively with other researchers, musicians and people working in the music industries. This is largely due to the encouragement of the subject staff.
Alison Eales, PhD student researching The Glasgow International Jazz Festival, University of Glasgow, MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2010-11
Having taken my undergraduate degree in the Music Department at University of Glasgow I was really keen to return. I chose the course as I had taken and particularly enjoyed Professor Cloonan's undergraduate Popular Music Studies class, so I was keen to do take the MLitt. I see the MLitt Popular Music Studies as an asset that only a few can boast as we all make our way in the big bad music machine.
Ian Gregson, freelance promoter,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2009-10
Having spent several years working in the music industry (primarily in artist management), I felt it would be beneficial to develop a theoretical underpinning to the practical experience I'd acquired. I was becoming increasingly interested in academic discourses around pop music culture and felt that the best way to cultivate this interest was systematic study. Quite simply, attaining the Masters lead to me gaining the lecturing post I now have. Furthermore, it was not until I was actively engaged in Popular Music Studies, that I even considered lecturing as a possible career path. A range of guest speakers also helped students engage with various perspectives and approaches to the industry, which is, of course, in a period of rapid change, culturally and economically.
Mark Baillie, Stow College
The placement opportunity that took place within the course was something that particularly attracted me to the course. After moving down to London with £20 in my pocket and nowhere to stay but couches and floors I managed to land an internship at the Music Managers Forum (MMF) at the British Music House. I had interviewed the CEO of the organisation Jon Webster for my dissertation and got in touch with him when I first came down. I asked him if he had any internships going and luckily he said he did so I went in for a chat then started the next week. I worked there for 7 months, listening and learning from some of the most influential artist managers in the industry including one of Radiohead's managers, Brian Message, who was the Chairman of the MMF. When my internship was coming to an end I asked Brian if he would be a reference for my C.V and he said he could offer me something better. That day he offered me a job at his music company ATC Management. I have been working here for 3 moths now and enjoy every minute of it. I get to go to free gigs all the time and be around music all day. Dream come true.
Jonny Taylor, ATC Management
Through hard work and proving my worth to the programme co-ordinator, I was able to do my placement at Chemikal Underground Records. This made all the hard work and sacrifices worth it.
Liz Kelly, Florida and Sony PlayStation, London,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
The work placement (in my case, for a local internet radio station) allowed for even more direct interaction with the Glasgow music scene in that I was receiving submissions from local bands every day, and often was invited to (or chose to) see them live.
Lauren Hulstedt, New York,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2010-11
The music industry placement aspect of the course ensures students engage and interact with the Glasgow scene. The placements in my year were extremely varied from placements with venues, promoters, labels, music synchronisation companies and the Musicians Union.
Kenny Barr, PhD student, Music and Copyright, University of Glasgow,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
In the course of my music industry placement, I worked closely with record label Chemikal Underground which provided invaluable insights into the industry from a label perspective.
Mark Baillie, Stow College
Having had only very little formal musical training, the Creative Practice route offered me a chance to have my own music assessed for the first time. The value of students' musical activities is recognised, and there is some flexibility for students with gigging or recording commitments.
Alison Eales, researching The Glasgow International Jazz Festival, University of Glasgow,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2010-11
I really enjoyed being able to compose music for short and silent films as part of my Creative Practice project. Because I chose Creative Practice route, I tended to had more musical interactions with my classmates. This meant that I joined in the Glasgow music scene directly. Local musicians joined us as guest lecturers and shared their experience to us. In all this was a very encouraging environment for the students advance their music careers and join in the local scene.
Emily Hsing-Hua Chang, television producer and artistic director, Taiwan,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2009-10
The Glasgow music scene cannot be beat. It's small enough that almost everyone knows each other but this also means it's collaborative and excellent for meeting people and networking. The degree certainly encouraged interaction with the scene and several guest speakers are key figures on it, including those from DF Concerts (organisers of T in The park) and Chemikal Underground. I was also taught by John Williamson who manages Belle and Sebastian. Through my dissertation I met and spoke with several more people on the Glasgow scene and became more involved in the city's music. If you're keen and you make a good effort, the whole city will open up to you.
Liz Kelly, Florida and Sony PlayStation, London,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
Glasgow seems to have something for music lovers of all kinds. There's a venue or club night for every possible style and genre of music, and never a shortage of music-related events taking place. The Masters programme definitely encourages engagement/interaction. Fellow students as well as teaching staff are in bands or manage them, and knowing people who are already involved is a great way to start exploring the scene from scratch.
Lauren Hulstedt, New York,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2010-11
Beyond the live scene of bands, musicians, venues and promoters there is also a considerable infrastructure of independent labels, studios, managers, merchandise companies etc.
Kenny Barr, PhD student, Music and Copyright, University of Glasgow,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
The Glasgow music scene is thriving. In the first four months I have lived in the city, I attended a minimum of five concerts that I would have had to attend in five different cities within the states, not including the many local bands that exist here and continuously push Glasgow's music diversity. The city has great diversity in music as well, containing plenty of indie pop and rock as well as experimental and a large diversity of orchestral and classical concerts. Our class is encouraged to attend music performances and Professor Cloonan encourages and promotes concerts by local and touring bands playing in town.
Ryan Collins, Oklahoma,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2010-11
Glasgow is undoubtedly one of the best places to study popular music in the UK. It is an amazing place for music. Live music is played in venues of all shapes and sizes, from tiny coffee shops to the SECC and Hampden, and there are a good number of affordable recording and rehearsal studios. There is a great punk and indie community, with lots of 'DIY' club nights and labels, and the Merchant City is a hub for all kinds of musical activity, particularly live classical music and jazz. The MLitt itself is well-integrated into the Glasgow music scene: the majority of staff who teach on the programme are active as musicians or music managers.
Alison Eales, PhD student researching The Glasgow International Jazz Festival, University of Glasgow,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2010-11
The Masters Programme encourages interaction with the Glasgow music scene, but more importantly, it encourages a critical interaction as opposed to mere participation. The Glasgow music scene is vibrant and never dull. For a relatively small city it is huge. Typically Scottish in punching above its weight. There is live music at numerous venues seven nights a week.
Ian Gregson, freelance promoter,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2009-10
I gained new skills, experience, and networking opportunities. I made connections that lasted.
Liz Kelly, Florida, Sony PlayStation, London,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
We had the privilege of several guest lecturers who shared their experience directly, and interactively, with us. As part of the research for my dissertation, I was able to interview several bands, music promoters and venue managers, picking their brains, learning from their experiences and making valuable contacts for the future.
Albert Kawmi, Nevada Base,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2008-09
It was the first time I'd had the chance to join in bands with students from different cultures. This was really helpful and I had the opportunity to play across various musical genres.
Emily Hsing-Hua Chang, television producer and artistic director, Taiwan,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2009-10
The staff are well informed and exceptionally talented, but also well grounded and keen to show you realities of the music industries. The people at Glasgow University sharpened my wits, broadened my horizons, encouraged my creativity and furnished me with a balanced critical faculty. All of these are essential to me as I begin to navigate the murky world of the creative industries.
Ian Gregson, freelance promoter,
MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Creative Practice), 2009-10
The friends, the people, the music, and the gigs. The people especially – genuinely kind, good people who welcomed me and a stranger from a foreign land - easily and freely into their tight-knit circles.

MLitt in Popular Music Studies (Music Industries), 2009-10
The people and the music scene are outstanding. Without a doubt the nicest people in the UK live in Glasgow. The city has established itself as a centre for music and art and the people who live here have embraced this.

1. Why should I choose the University of Glasgow's Popular Music Studies (PMS) programme rather than other conservatories? What are the advantages?
First, it is important to note that PMS is a relatively broad field of study, which encompasses a range of different approaches and methodologies. So instead of the purely musical approach of many conservatories, the University of Glasgow programmes offer a range of approaches, including looking at the music industries industrially, looking at popular music's social roles and looking at creativity in popular music. The variety of options available mean that the PMS programmes have something to offer everyone with an interest in popular music.
Another result of the diverse range of approaches is that a musical background is not necessarily required to join the programmes, because that they are based on the socio-cultural activities around popular music as well as the music itself.
It is also important to note that the Chinese popular music industries are experiencing serious recruitment issues in areas such as copyright, the survival of independent labels, and the transformation from traditional recording to digital and streaming era. All of these topics are covered in the PMS programmes.
In addition there is a group of excellent professors and researchers in this field (such as Professor Martin Cloonan and Dr John Williamson), whose expertise and experience are the ultimate guarantee for the quality of the programme.
Finally, Glasgow is well known fort its vibrant popular music scene and is an UNESCO City of Music.
Q2. What does the programme mainly consist of?
A: There are three different degrees: Popular Music Studies, Creative Practice (Popular Music Studies) and the Music Industries (Popular Music Studies). Each shares common core courses in Theory and History which are taught in the first semester. Following this students on each programme specialise. Those on the Popular Music Studies programme undertake courses on the Music Industries and Popular Music Politics. Students on the Music Industries programme take the Music Industries course and a Placement project with a local music company involving working with industry professionals on a research project. Those undertaking the Creative Practice route undertake a course on Creativity and also undertake a supervised creative project such as songwriting or a musical performance. Following the taught courses a dissertation project of 20,000 words is undertaken.
Q3. What about the teaching format? Is it completely different from China?
A: The course is taught via a series of lectures each one of which is focused on the particular topics. Relevant readings on the weekly topics are assigned to the students before each session. Usually, there are not more than 15 students in class, and students are free to interact with the lecturer and their fellow students. Students are encouraged to put forward their own arguments and to engage in discussion of each of the topics is encouraged. While this may vary from traditional Chinese teaching forms, but the classes are designed to be as inclusive as possible.
Q4. Why are four 7s in the IELTS tests required by applicants whose first language is not English?
A: The Four 7s in the IELTS tests as an English language requirement for the programmes is relatively high among universities in the UK. However there are good reasons for insisting on this. The University of Glasgow is one of the world's leading universities and seeks to ensure that all students attending it are of the highest caliber, including in their language ability. In addition as Popular Music Studies is an inter-disciplinary filed of study which incorporates (amongst other things) culture, economics, and music, these programmes demand particular communication skills. In addition a lot of reading and writing, all in English, is required.
Q5. Can I make the application without four 7s in the IELTS? Is so, what should I do?
A: Yes. You can apply at any time. However, if you do not have the four 7s in the IELTS tests any offer made in response to the application will specify that these are achieved prior to entry. If this is the only condition the offer can be turned in to a non-conditional one once the required IELTS scores have been achieved and notified to the University.. Prior to this you have two options.
1. You can try more IELTS tests in China until you eventually obtain the four 7s. However, depending on when the application is made, you may miss the entrance date (September) for the year in which you apply.
2. You can choose a language course at the University of Glasgow Language Centre which provides various English pre-sessional courses of differing lengths, (15, 10 or 5 weeks in duration). How long you should take the course depends on your IELTS results when you apply. There will be examinations at the end of the language course, and you do not need to take another IELTS test if you pass the course successfully. Once you have met the entrance requirements your offer will be made unconditional. For details of the English pre-sessional courses, please have check the website:
http://www.gla.ac.uk/international/pre-sessionalenglishcourses/. Please note that there are differing application deadlines depending on the course. It is best to apply early as our language courses are extremely popular and tend to fill up very early.
Q6. My undergraduate major was not or even relevant to popular music, if it is still possible for me to study on of the Popular Music programmes?
A: Yes. The inter-disciplinary nature of Popular Music Studies means that a number of approaches can be used and your previous knowledge and background may provide a particular angle via which to access into the study. This will be supplemented by specialist readings on Popular Music Studies so that with hard work you will be able to get up to speed.
Q7. Is it easy to find a job after studying on the Popular Music Industries programme?
A: Much of this is dependent on your achievements on the programme. A number of career pathways exist in the music industries including academics, musicians, critics, managers, promoters, etc. As China's music industries develop the professional talents of musical entrepenurship may be the most urgently needed skiils and the programme will introduce you to various working practices here. On completion of the programme a range of options may be open to you. The programme also serves as an excellent preparation for PhD study.
Q8. I am afraid of being rejected. Is there an acceptance rate for the programme?
A: We do not have a fixed acceptance rate for these programmes. This is completely determined by the individual situation of the applicant. As long as you meet all the entry requirements of the programme, you will almost certainly be accepted. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to make the application. Be adventurous!
Q9. When should I start making the application?
A: We strongly suggest you start making the online application as soon as possible. Ideally this should not be later than January if you plan to start your study on September in the same year. Should you do this you will have more time for interaction with those teaching on the programme and to prepare the necessary documents. In this case, you have enough time to get in contact with the programmer leaders and prepare all the required documents. Importantly, you can also plan for more IELTS tests in China or apply to take the pre-sessional language course at the University. Please always set aside at least one month for the visa application to be processed, whether you wish to begin either the programme or the language course.
Anything else?
Please feel free to ask any questions about the application and programme by email to the Programme Co-ordinator, Professor Martin Cloonan: email@example.com.
Entry requirements for postgraduate taught programmes are a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent qualification (for example, GPA 3.0 or above) in a relevant subject unless otherwise specified.
For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic module (not General Training):
Common equivalent English language qualifications
All stated English tests are acceptable for admission for both home/EU and international students for this programme:
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept an IELTS test (Academic module) from any of the 1000 IELTS test centres from around the world and we do not require a specific UKVI IELTS test for degree level programmes.

Nook Simple Touch GlowLight and Nook Simple Touch now on sale in UK retailers
UK consumers can now get their hands on Nook's line of E Ink eReader devices, with the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight and Nook Simple Touch arriving in major retail stores.
The Nook Simple Touch GlowLight features an E Ink display with a built-in reading light and touchscreen display for after-dark reading and is available for £109. The Nook Simple Touch, which forgoes the backlit display, comes at a more affordable £79.
It's the first time Nook devices have been available in the UK and, as Pocket-lint said back in August, John Lewis will be one of the major retailers to be stocking both variants.
Other stores selling the Nook devices include Argos, Asda, Dixon's, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Blackwell's and Foyles as well as Nook's online store at www.nook.co.uk.
The £109 price tag for the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight is exactly the same price as Amazon's new Kindle Paperwhite that also recently arrived in the UK.
Customers who buy Nook's E Ink eReader devices will be able to choose from more than 2.5 million digital books from the Nook Store, with magazines and newspapers arriving in the coming weeks.
Both the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight and the Nook Simple Touch mark the start of Nook's attempt to infiltrate the UK market.
Both the Nook HD and Nook HD+ will be arriving in late November, with pre-orders from the Nook website starting from today. The Nook HD will cost £159, while the Nook HD+ is priced at £229.

Posted April 11, 2013 on AP on Fox
It may not seem like much, but earning a third straight victory would be a major stride for a Detroit Pistons team concluding another disappointing season. The Charlotte Bobcats are hoping to salvage some pride as well. Detroit seeks an eighth victory in nine meetings with Charlotte, which looks to avoid a franchise-record 14th consecutive road loss in its final game away from home Friday night. The Pistons (27-52) will take part in their fourth consecutive draft lottery, and it's been widely rumored coach Lawrence Frank is on the hot seat. They're not throwing in the towel just yet though, having won back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 8-9 after defeating Chicago 99-85 on Sunday and Cleveland 111-104 on Wednesday. Andre Drummond scored a career-high 29 points and added 11 rebounds, while Greg Monroe finished with 23 points against the Cavaliers. "These are the guys we're building around, and we've got to fight for them," said Frank, whose team's only winning strea...

Vegas.com uses a service to speed page loads for visitors to its mobile site.
Vegas.com knows that what happens on a smartphone, such as opening an e-mail, tends to stay on a smartphone, such as clicking a link in that e-mail to visit Vegas.com for more information.
And so, Vegas.com, a booking site for Las Vegas shows, hotels and attractions, wanted to make sure that potential tourists could not only view its marketing e-mail on mobile devices but easily view a web page that e-mail linked to. For example, if a consumer clicks on a link for a promotion for a suite at the MGM Grand, the booking site wants to be sure she lands on Vegas.com's mobile-optimized site, not the full site which would load slowly and be difficult to navigate on a phone.
To do this, Vegas.com in mid-2012 implemented a service from content delivery network EdgeCast Networks Inc. that can detect the device a consumer is using and render the appropriate site. That means if a mobile consumer clicks on a link in a marketing e-mail sent by Vegas.com he will be directed to the mobile-optimized site.
The service also works for other e-mails Vegas.com sends to a desktop user that are forwarded on to another consumer who opens the e-mail on her smartphone, says Anthony Citrano, vice president of marketing for EdgeCast.
"Often, friends send each other links with deals that direct to a desktop site, but (the friend may) open the link on a phone," Citrano says. "They are more likely to check out the deal if they are automatically directed to the device-optimized site. Otherwise, they'll be frustrated with longer loading times and a bad experience."
The device-detection feature also goes beyond e-mail links. For example, if a mobile phone user enters Vegas.com in her browser or is directed to Vegas.com through a mobile ad, she is automatically sent to the company's mobile site at m.vegas.com.
In addition to the device-recognition technology, Vegas.com is using EdgeCast's content delivery network to speed mobile page loads. Content delivery networks, or CDNs, store web page content on servers located around the world, and thus can deliver content from servers geographically close to the consumer, speeding up page load times.
"We have always used EdgeCast or another CDN for mobile because it improves the customer experience and increases conversion rate, particularly for users located farther away from our Southern Nevada data center," says Bryan Allison, chief operating officer of Vegas.com. "Using EdgeCast, we have seen additional improvements in page load times." Allison wouldn't reveal specific changes in mobile conversions or page load times since using EdgeCast.
To implement EdgeCast's content delivery services, Vegas.com uploaded heavy site content, such as video files and large objects, to EdgeCast's system. It then set up its sites (mobile and PC) within EdgeCast's portals, and changed the domain name server to point to EdgeCast servers near the consumer, rendering pages more quickly.
On the ground, China's economy looks quite strong. And Chinese consumers crave Western goods.

VueScan Mobile App Now Available for Android Devices
Hamrick Software announced today it has released the VueScan Mobile Free App for Android devices, including Android phones, tablets and Kindle Fire. This follows the successful launch of VueScan Mobile for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch in 2011.
The VueScan Mobile Free App for Android devices is now available in the Google Play App store, the Amazon Appstore and directly fromhttp://www.hamrick.com . VueScan Mobile allows you to seamlessly scan documents and photos straight to your Android device, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch from any HP, Canon or Epson WiFi printer/scanner. It works with Android version 2.3 and later, including small-memory Android phones.
VueScan Mobile uses the Wi-Fi connection on your device to find scanners connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the scanner has a document feeder, VueScan first checks to see if there is a document in the feeder, otherwise it scans from the flatbed.
In addition to sending via e-mail and saving to the Photos App, VueScan Mobile allows you to save scanned images to your favorite apps that can open PDF or JPEG files such as iBooks, Dropbox, GoodReader and Evernote.
"We released VueScan Mobile in 2011 for iOS, and since then have received numerous requests for support for Android. We are very happy to be able to support Android, and we will be announcing support for new platforms over the next 6 months." said Ed Hamrick, Partner at Hamrick Software.
"A year ago we also decided to make a reduced version for free - the VueScan Mobile Free App - which still contains all the essential features needed for scanning. We wanted to give everyone with a supported scanner the opportunity to experiment with VueScan without any obligation to pay." said Ed Hamrick. "The VueScan Mobile Free App makes scanning extremely convenient. Simply press the Scan button and, in a few seconds, the document will appear on your Android device, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch."
The full version of VueScan Mobile App is available for $4.99 (£2.99) from the Apple App Store on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore and will soon be available in the Google Play App store and the Amazon Appstore.
Based in Phoenix, AZ, Hamrick Software was founded in 1991. Its first product was VuePrint, an easy to use JPEG viewer for Windows that for many years was the recommended image viewer for AOL, with more than 100,000 users. In 1998, the company first released VueScan, a program for scanning with flatbed and film scanners, there are now more than 350,000 users all over the world with VueScan supporting over 1850 scanners.
