Thoughts on the Last Night of the Proms
There are good reasons why the audience sing Auld Lang Syne at the Last Night of the Proms, and one is that for those who've spent the previous two months sitting/standing/circumnavigating the Royal Albert Hall (the shuffling queues around that endless corridor improve on Dante's masterplan for Hell), it's one of those decisive moments in the year when you feel time pass, like a striking clock. Summer is done, the festivals are over. Now we wait for Christmas. Or that's how it feels to me.
And what a curious thing the Last Night is. More ritual than art, it doesn't answer to the rules of concert life and is impervious to criticism. As a piece of programming it's messy and supposed to be. You're not meant to examine it, just love it.
But I can't help thinking that this year's Last Night was the wrong sort of mess: not thought through with the self-concealing care that jamborees actually need. Nothing was grand or strong enough to make a statement.
There were loosely memorable items – a rabble-rousing piece of Latin Americana by Villa-Lobos, a nicely delivered Haydn trumpet concerto, and the brief but masterly exuberance of Oliver Knussen's four-minute crowd-pleaser Flourish with Fireworks. There was the tense technical challenge of the live-link with cities around Britain – done this year as a sequence of fanfares and responses written by absurdly young composers, some of promise.
But as a whole, it failed to be more than the sum of its parts – which is the test of a diverse concert programme. And its star turns weren't big enough. In what was very much a ladies night, the BBC got its money's worth from the mezzo Sarah Connolly and trumpeter Alison Balsom, bringing them back time and again in different combinations. And both of these ladies are indeed fine artists who played the game required of them – Balsom by importing female glamour to a male preserve, and Connolly by making a joke of her career-tendency to trouser roles by coming on for Rule Britannia dressed like Admiral Lord Nelson.
But neither of them quite had the presence to fill the Hall. And there was a general lack of chutzpah in the novelties. The camp kitsch of Kettelbey's In a Monastery Garden barely registered, so timid was it. And the comic potential of Malcolm Arnold's A Grand, Grand Overture – originally written for a Hoffnung concert and programmed here to mark the 50th anniversary of his death – was squandered, marshalling TV celebrities like David Attenborough and Rory Bremner onto the platform to play vacuum cleaners and be silly but not using them to real advantage.
In fact the Arnold overture was a paradigm example of the vacuity with which the BBC these days packages the Proms (and much else in its music coverage) with all-purpose celebs (comedians, quiz-hosts, gardeners…) on the assumption that they add value to the experience. Usually, they don't.
The only added value on this Last Night came from the American conductor David Robertson who proved an aimable compere and made a speech (about orchestras as symbols of diversity in unity) that ran like a Thought for the Day script but was touching. Better than the rambling Roger Norrington in 2008.

This leather belt rug has no perceivable pattern. Rather than laying the belts out straight or cutting them to fit a parquet tiles as my previous leather belt rugs I chose to cut various lengths and follow no pattern.
The results have been surprising. Due to the lack of continuous lines the eye cannot rest in one spot on the leather belt rug for long. Therefore the rug appears larger than its 2 x 3 size. The rug will stay interesting because there are constantly new things to see!
I cut each piece to fit perfectly with its neighbors. Colors in this leather belt rug sometimes blend and sometimes contrast. The results have been very encouraging. I'll definitely be making more of these!
Each piece is attached to a leather backing using a water based glue. After completing the leather belt rug I applied multiple coats of Pecards Antique leather restorer. This enriches the hues and protects the surface.

The Idaho
Contrary to many expectations, Idaho has a good many Democrats, more than a lot of people suspect. More than 200,000 Idahoans voted for Barack Obama for president last year, and more than 200,000 votes in the two U.S. House races in the state went for the Democratic candidates.
Of course – and no minor point – there were about twice as many votes cast for the Republicans in those races, so in Idaho the Democrats lost. Still, the D numbers are something to conjure with.
I bore that in mind last week a report from Lou Jacobson, a writer on politics for Governing magazine who specializes on politics not on the federal level but in the states. His provocative question: Did the Howard Dean 50-state strategy actually do any good for Democrats? Short answer: He says that it did. Idaho relevance: Democrats should pay attention and take heart; and it could matter to Republicans in many places too.
The longer answer, explaining jargon and party history …
During his tenure as national Democratic chair from 2005 to 2009, former Vermont Governor Dean launched an ambitious and, to many professional pols in both parties impractical, effort called the "50-state strategy." The norm in politics is to tightly target one's efforts in swing areas, and secondarily build up support in the base – and let slide the areas in strong opposition. For national Democrats, that means forgetting about places like Idaho, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Nebraska … you probably know the list. (Republicans have their opposing list, too.)
Dean thought this was all wrong, that the national party could, by carefully planting enough seed money and building organization in all 50 states, change the political atmosphere in even the toughest places – maybe not turning red states blue, but shifting them to less deeply red, building a bench of candidates at local levels who eventually could run for, and maybe win, higher office.
He got blasted for the proposal; pundit Paul Begala famously said (he eventually apologized) Dean would be "hiring a bunch of staff people to wander around Utah and Mississippi and pick their nose."
But Dean pushed his plan through in his four years in the chair. And what happened? Jacobson, while noting that 2006 and 2008 were good Democratic years for reasons beyond party organization, wrote, "the patterns are suggestive. In the 20 states we looked at – those that have voted solidly Republican in recent presidential races – Democratic candidates chalked up modest successes, despite the difficult political terrain. Then, after the project stopped, Democratic success rates cratered."
He also concluded this: "One divide that's apparent in the data is between the Great Plains and the West on the one hand, and the South on the other. To the extent that the 50-state strategy worked, it did so in the small-to-medium states in the western half of the U.S. By contrast, the effort did little, if anything, to stem the long-term shift in the South toward the GOP. Perhaps that's because the libertarian leanings of the Great Plains and the West are more compatible with Democratic social positions than is the Christian brand of conservatism that is influential in the South."
That means serious efforts at party organization in Idaho can, to some extent at least, yield results.
Whether Idaho Democrats manage that is an open question. But it is something they could do, suggesting that their cause, while difficult, is not beyond hope.Share on Facebook

Dec 31 2013, 2:11am CST | by PR.com
Pleasanton, CA, December 31, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Datarecovery.com, a world leader in professional hard drive data recovery, warns that solid-state drives do not provide complete protection against data loss.
In recent years, many personal computer users have moved from hard drives to solid-state drives in order to benefit from the new technology's fast read/write speeds and superior durability. Solid-state drives do not have moving components, and their failure rates are generally lower than the failure rates for similar hard disk drives (HDDs).
However, DataRecovery.com has received a large number of solid-state drives through the last several years. DataRecovery.com President Ben Carmitchel says that many computer users do not back up their files because they believe that SSD offers complete protection from data loss.
"Solid-state drives can fail, and while they improve on hard drive technology in some ways, they're far from infallible," says Carmitchel "you still need to backup that QuickBooks file or Bitcoin wallet."
Carmitchel notes that SSD technology has an inherently limited number of write cycles (commonly referred to as P/E cycles for Program-Erase).
"Many consumers don't realize that solid-state drives can only write data a finite amount of times before losing integrity," said Carmitchel. "Current wear-leveling technology allows for years of dependable functionality, but it's still important to note that every SSD will eventually fail."
While media wear is not a major cause of data loss at this point, Carmitchel notes that DataRecovery.com regularly receives solid-state drives that have failed for other reasons. For instance, SSD technology does not provide protection from power surges, fires, floods, or other physical events. Other common sources of data loss on solid-state drives include file corruption and user error.
"Your data is never safe without a backup," said Carmitchel. "SSD technology is revolutionizing our industry, but we want computer owners to know that there's no such thing as a perfect data storage medium."
Datarecovery.com is a world leader in data recovery and computer forensics. With four locations in California, Illinois, Arizona, and Toronto, the company provides a variety of services to thousands of clients each year. Visit www.datarecovery.com for more information.

The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom, published by Harper, recounts the life of Joseph Needham (1900-1995). Needham was a Cambridge University biochemist who became obsessed with China and wrote Science and Civilization of China, a twenty-four-volume study of Chinese history and culture that assisted in introducing the West to the East. Simon Winchester, author of The Man Who Loved China, talked about his book with John Major, senior lecturer of the China Institute at the Asia Society in New York City. Topics included Needham's idiosyncrasies, how he came to visit China, and his unwillingness to speak out against Chinese leadership. Following the discussion, Mr. Winchester answered questions from the audience.
Simon Winchester is the author of numerous books, including The Professor and the Madman, The Map That Changed the World, and Krakatoa. Mr. Winchester has written for several publications, including National Geographic and Smithsonian. close

Please note that ALCAT tests must be ordered independently from the shopping cart.
What is ALCAT intolerance testing?
ALCAT is the worldwide leader in food and other intolerance/sensitivity testing. Intolerances to food and food additives have been linked to digestive problems, migraines, joint and skin problems, ADD, and other medical conditions. The ALCAT Test measures your intolerances using a proprietary technology that measures how your white blood cells respond when exposed to different foods. You can learn more about the science behind the ALCAT technology on their website at ALCAT.com.
What is ALCAT intolerance testing?
ALCAT testing is focused on identifying delayed hypersensitivity responses to food and external stimuli. Delayed hypersensitivity responses trigger specific pathways in the immune system that take days to months to develop and can manifest as a variety of general symptoms that people experience that cannot be identified through traditional medical testing. ALCAT does not detect immediate hypersensitivity responses (e.g. lip / tongue swelling after nuts).
Why should I order my ALCAT test through Accesa Labs?

ELI Discovery Tool: Learning Space Workshop Guide
We know that space can affect learning—but how? The answer to that question depends not only on our understanding of how people learn, but also our understanding of learners. And, as information technology becomes more and more integral to teaching and learning, we also need to understand its implications for learning spaces.
The ELI Discovery Tool: Learning Space Workshop Guide can help you and others at your institution answer that question. It is designed as an action-oriented, modifiable, modular resource for faculty development and other staff learning events.
The units can be used as a stand-alone activity, lasting perhaps two hours, or all units can be combined for a multiday faculty development event. Through the guide's activities, participants will:
- develop awareness of the important role of learning spaces in the learning process
- become familiar with the importance characteristics of learning spaces
- explore what their students think about the places learning occurs
- understand the learner-centered principles that underlie effective learning space design
- review and discuss examples of effective learning spaces
- examine their assumptions about the effects of place on learning
- learn about assessing learning spaces
- develop a set of guiding principles and beliefs that underlie their institution's learning space design efforts

Very nice work I really apreciate small details like golded curves on plates, it's great Your idea of vertical spotlights is very good but not easy to see, perhaps you can try with more light of course the result will be less realistic and more abstract, but it anc be good i think.

Americans love bacon, but perhaps no American loves bacon more than this guy.
Americans love bacon, but perhaps no American loves bacon more than this guy.
Getting up in the morning and having to pull the frying pan out of the cabinet, get the bacon from the fridge, unwrap it, and stand there and cook it, is so much work! What if you could just roll over and sniff your phone?
Somehow, bacon has gotten even tastier.
Bacon is delicious, but not good enough to stop robbing a home just to cook some and get snagged.
Last week, a U.K. group struck fear in the hearts of bacon lovers everywhere when it predicted an "unavoidable" pork shortage next year. But now experts say there's no real threat of an impending "aporkalypse" here in the U.S. and that the organization's report amounts to nothing more than propaganda. Whew!

ePromos is here to help you recognize the importance of supporting those who work for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). During this week in May, we honor the men and women who devote their lives to saving and treating others. Their job is not easy – they are usually the first on the scene and have to make quick decisions in matters of life and death.
This week is also about raising awareness about what communities can do to prevent medical emergencies, whether it be a broken bone or staying healthy and safe during a natural disaster. People of all ages can be educated about ways to avoid emergency situations.
ePromos can help you provide promotional products for your company that can help you support National EMS Week. We provide promotional radios, logo emergency radios, logo shower radios, and promotional portable radios.

Maryland Man Arrested for Animal Cruelty
The Washington Humane Society says a Maryland man who allegedly let a black-and-white pit bull named Shelly teeter on the brink of starvation, has been arrested. Gurdip Singh, who turned himself in to the Fifth District police station on April 2, has been charged with animal cruelty.
According to documents attached to the warrant for his arrest, Singh kept Shelly and another dog—a black Labrador called Skee-bo—at a business he owns at 1911 New York Ave. NE. There, on Singh's car lot, the dogs apparently lived in a large pen covered in feces and trash. There were three doghouses on hand, documents say, but only one was intact.
Still, if the environment was bad, Shelly's health seems to have been worse. At 29 pounds, the dog was emaciated, and had an infected eye and muscle atrophy—and was missing teeth. Shelly also had a hard time standing. She was later diagnosed with a heart murmur.
Singh allegedly explained the dog's condition by saying Skee-bo sometimes fought with her and didn't let her eat. He also allegedly said he hadn't taken Shelly to a veterinarian because he'd misplaced her vet's contact info.
Singh has been released pending further court appearances; he could face 180 days in jail and/or a $250 fine.
"We are pleased that Mr. Singh quickly turned himself in to MPD," says Scott Giacoppo of the Humane Society. "WHS would have pursued his arrest relentlessly had he not recognized the seriousness of his crimes."
If you're wondering about Shelly's condition, the Washington Humane Society says she's gone: "Because the dog was raised under poor conditions, she had an aggressive temperament and was not adoptable. Sadly WHS was forced to euthanize the dog."

Motivating people and changing lives
Aren't those first few weeks a blur after you have a baby or adopt a child? Sleepless nights, getting everyone into a new routine, wondering if you'll get a shower before dinnertime??
Just how do you go about teaching kids about money? A lot of how kids learn is by example, right?
This scrub exfoliates and moisturizes, is super easy to make and can be changed up to fit your own personal needs/wants…and it's a lot cheaper than buying over the counter scrubs.

Architectural Finials
By: Kathleen George for STYROFOAMâ"¢ Brand Foam
1 Comments
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Lightweight, decorative finials look like stone or heavy-duty cast plaster, but they're made with assorted shapes STYROFOAM™ brand foam. The stone finish and brushed metallic paints finish the faux look.
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
- Balls: 5"; 1-1/2"; four 1"
- Block, 12" x 6" x 1"
- Cones: 12" x 4"; 6" x 3"
- Cube, 5"
- Disc, 6" x 1"
- Eggs: 5"; 4"
- Brushed-metallic satin-finish spray paint: platinum
- Stone-texture spray paints: light tan; light brown
- Pre-mixed lightweight acrylic spackling
- Serrated knife
- Candle stub or paraffin
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Firm paintbrush, 1"
- Putty knife, 1"
- Disposable bowl
- Measuring cup and spoon
- Water basin
- Paper towels
- Fine-grit sandpaper
- Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
- Thick, white craft glue
- Wax serrated knife with candle stub or paraffin. Cut foam block in half, creating two 6" squares. Cut remaining foam shapes as indicated below; use glue gun to assemble pieces and let dry completely before and after painting. Refer to photo throughout.
Tall Finial
- Cut equal corners, about 1-1/4"-deep, from 5" foam cube to create octagon-shaped piece; glue to 6" foam square base. Glue 1" foam balls to base corners.
- Cut four sides from tip of 12" foam cone to create 1"-tall pyramid shape; smooth side with fingertips.
- Cut 1-1/2"-thick horizontal slice from center of 5" foam egg; glue to top of octagon. Twist cone base firmly against top of egg slice; glue to secure.
Short Finial
- For shorter finial, cut 5" foam ball in half; reserve one half for future use. Cut narrow slice from rounded top of half-ball. Glue half-ball to foam disc base.
- Cut 1-1/2"-thick horizontal slice from bottom of 6" foam cone. Firmly twist bottom of this piece against top of half-ball until snug; glue to secure.
- Cut narrow slices from tip and base of 4" foam egg. Center and glue top portion of 6" cone to narrow end of egg; they will not fit precisely. Make four straight, slightly diagonal cuts down sides of cone/egg to form pyramid shape with rounded bottom; tip of cone should be about 5/8" square. Glue pyramid shape to previously assembled pieces as shown.
- Glue 1-1/2" foam ball to tip of cone.
- For each finial, mix 1 c. spackle with 1 T. water in small bowl until smooth and easy to spread.
- Using firm paintbrush, spread thin, even coat of spackle onto surface of each finial, covering top and sides only.
- Use putty knife to smooth surface of spackle. Dip paintbrush in clean water to lightly smooth edges where excess spackle tends to accumulate. Let dry completely.
- When dry, sand any imperfections. If needed, apply second light coat of spackle; let dry.
- Spray paint finials with desired metallic- or stone-finish paint. Let dry completely.

Mississippi's C Spire Wireless celebrates 25th anniversary

The end result was C Spire Wireless. Analysts saw the name change as signs that the rural telecom was trying to ...Read More »
Ditching the 'South' maybe best thing for the evolving C Spire
Cellular South recently changed its name to C Spire. I'm sure they paid a marketing firm a lot of money for that name. And I'm sure the marketing firm paid a lot of focus group people to sit around and rate various names. But, for the life of me, I can't understand how they landed on "C Spire." Cellular South ...Read More »

I see them and think obnoxious twenty somethings who I want to punch in the face. Yet when I skip the vid and images and simply listen- I find engaging and refreshing.
Posts Tagged: Video Review
I couldn't watch past about thirty seconds before I felt disgusted.
We find that "Benny and Joon" are, in fact, Bill and his wife. In a way, they both have very similar features and characteristics to Depp and Masterson; the parallels are perfect.
The four minutes of it stylishly focuses on Fiona's expressive and intense face, while she intricately harmonizes with her sister Maude Maggart,
I guess what you get here is the essence of rock' n' roll: it's hip twisting, hair banging with hot girls losing their mind in front of cars
The skittish boy is gone in left in his place is a man with talent and poor management in a dime a dozen industry.
I am just surprised it's still on Youtube since the video features a series of naked women dancing and caressing themselves
This slickly produced video throws Kid Rock and Stone Sour into a Vita Mix and makes a bloody mess. Its a great song for those who enjoy their metal with a dash of down home cookin
At first, I couldn't get through it at all, and then forced myself to view the whole thing, praying it was a joke of some sort. The countless product placements, ridiculous scenarios- it makes no sense at all.
I should be raving about how it gave me a migraine and how I wanted to slice my eyelids off but I can't. Its a classic song done in a classic manner by and old dude and some whipper snappers in a pretty setting. It could be an advertisement for the Park service its so clean.
Sometimes I wish I could wake up/And see you lying there like it is 1999' he sings in the hooky chorus', 1999 is not that long ago but Simon seems either to have a secret love for everything vintage or retro, or to remember 1999 as something coming from a remote past. Who still uses a toy slide-viewer? Who still uses an old-fashioned camera to take pictures?
As for the video, it's pretty cute. The guys pretty much do what every teenager does behind closed doors- mouth the words to awesome songs and dance around. It's pretty great because it kind of shows us their silly side, and watching them have fun is entertaining. Not to mention how cool the concert footage is
the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' four-minute clip for their new song 'Sacrilege' is one of these mini-movies which almost distract us from the song itself. I guess bands are sometimes so focused at making the perfect video with a captivating story, that the song takes the second plan,… but isn't the purpose of a video to promote the song and not vice-versa?
I don't always find the Funny or Die videos extremely entertaining but this one certainly is. Picture this, Huey Lewis, from Huey Lewis and the News, and Weird Al Yankovic reacting the famous scene of the book and movie, when Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) murders Paul Allen (Jared Leto) with an ax in his immaculate apartment. It's hilarious as Huey Lewis gives the same lecture on 'American Psycho' than Bateman/Bale did
Another weirdness is the release of this video for 'Ashes in the Air', a song they did about a year ago with Bon Iver for their 'The Flaming Lips And Heady Fwends' all-star collaboration, whereas they are about to release another album on April 16th. But may be this is announcing the real Terror to come.
I seriously can't get over how good the new Fall Out Boy stuff is. They recently released the video for their tune "The Phoenix". I have so much to say, so I think I'll go in order.
It's such an old and tacky institution, nobody I know is ever paying attention to it, but apparently it's still going on after all these years, and this weirdo Estonian band is in competition this year. It would be really cool if Winny Puhh – that's their name – would win, but you have to watch the video below to realize what these guys are up to,…
Not only is it just a stunning video to watch, but it does such a fantastic job of depicting what "The Ocean" is about. Swedish producer Ludvig Parment is the man behind Saturday, Monday and, paired with the brilliant Julia Spada, he has only released two songs
If you remember, the band had requested fans to participate into the making of the video, asking them to upload band footage, personal Rilo Kiley video clip, and there is no doubt some of them were incorporated into the final result.
They did good though with "Is This It?' in 2001, one of the coolest warm up at the gym songs of all time but 4 years later "Juice Box" left me cold, their tabloid behavior a bore and when they all woke up to think they were super models they got demoted to the external hard drive. So, now they're back
'Diane Young' is a mixed and intriguing bag with the familiar buoyancy of the band, going bipolar with light electronic doo-woopy parts, punchy drums and wild surfing guitar slides. It is a lot of fun but it almost sounds like a too quick ride
Morrissey has canceled so many shows on this latest tour from ulcers to sick moms to pneumonia I am glad I was able to see him at all. I have been listening to him non stop since that first October show and I have not gotten sick of one tune yet. I believe that on average I am hearing 'Shoplifters" at least three times a day
"Post Hardcore" band Enter Shikari has been one of my faves for years. Their intriguing politics and their ridiculous energy makes their live shows electric- they literally fly off the stage. So to see some thing so planned and packaged is rather startling but in a good way.

Life Time, Supreme Vital Hair with MSM, 120 Capsules
By Life Time26 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Dec 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.26 lbs (0.57 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I've been using Vital Hair for three months now and am amazed by the results. Not only has my hair improved in texture, but I have new growth as well. My paper-thin nails have hardened substantially and are growing faster than ever. As a totally surprising bonus, Vital Hair has helped lessen much of my joint pain due to fibromyalgia, to the point that I rarely need to take even Tylenol any more. I realize this is not an advertised claim, but it's proven itself very effective to me, and I hope someone else will benefit from my experience with the product. I've tried pure MSM and B-complex vitamins without the results I've enjoyed from Vital Hair.
I like this product because it has all the nutrients you would need for healthy hair in this one bottle. I was buying seperate bottles of vitamins every month, and it was very costly.

Picture: Rob Lowe - Celebrities attend the 8th Annual 'Made In NY Awards' at Gracie Mansion - New York, NY, United States - Tuesday 11th June...
Rob Lowe is set to star in a new sex tape - but this time he'll be keeping his clothes on.
Sex Tape is a new comedy which stars Lowe as a company Ceo who accidentally gets hold of a video of Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel's characters' bedroom antics.
The movie focuses on the lengths the red-faced duo go to to retrieve the tape before it can be sold to a porn mogul, played by Jack Black.
Lowe has experience of the seedy side of sex - a tape he made with two girls in the 1980s almost wrecked his Hollywood career.

Sanjeev Kohli, above, and Jackie Bird, left, will judge the bands at the contest
Hannah Rodger, Reporter / / Entertainment
A CANCER charity will host a star-studded "indoor T in the Park" at a city hotel.
Cancer Support Scotland has organised the Battle of the Bands contest, to be judged by a host of celebrity guests including Jackie Bird and Sanjeev Kohli.
TV presenter Laura Boyd and radio DJ Ally McCrae will also be among the judging panel.
Cancer Support Scotland chief exec-utive Colin Graham said: "We hope this event will showcase some of Scotland's top musical talent and help support people affected by cancer at the same time.
"It's going to be a great night."
Cash raised will be put towards develop-ing the range of services the charity offers including providing complem-entary and talking therapies to people with cancer, as well as their families and carers.
Scots comedian Andy Cameron will host the showcase on April 3, which will see four amateur bands performing to hundreds of music fanatics.
Glasgow punk band The Skinny Velvets have been signed up to play on the bill, alongside three other groups from across the country.
Band members Roxy Lees, 30, Susie McConnell, 34, and Ryan Shearer, 30, are all from Glasgow's South Side and write their own songs together with singer Angie Gray, 32, from Cambuslang.
Promoted stories
Having performed at a string of city venues already, the four-piece is excited at the possibilities the contest could bring.
Bassist Roxy said: "We are looking for-ward to supporting Cancer Support Scotland as it is a charity close to our hearts, and also playing with the other bands.
"It sounds like it will be a fun night and I think there will be a great turn out, so I am really looking forward to being part of it."
The group will be battling it out against five-piece blues band Harmonica Lewinksi, from Helensburgh, and Edinburgh-based bands The Caravan Club and Hunter.
A 500-strong audience are expected to turn out to the event, which will take place in the Marriot Hotel on Argyle Street.
The winning band will receive a three-hour recording session at the Gorbals Sound Studios Pollok-shaws Road.
The indoor take on Scotland's oldest music festival aims to raise thousands of pounds.
Raffle prizes will be up for grabs on the night, including passes for the Edinburgh Tattoo and retail vouchers.
Tickets can be bought by phone on 0141 337 8199 or by emailing fundraising @cancersupport scotland.org

What to do on a rainy Saturday morning? A rummage through my box of Lecien fabrics, and I found these that are mostly from the Flower Sugar III range. I needed to make a gift for a very special person who has a birthday in a couple of weeks, so set to work using the pattern "Anna's Sminkepung" by the Norwegian designer AnnAKa. I thought I'd used the last piece of this gorgeous lace-trimming, but found it screwed up in my box of zippers! I've still got some in different colours, but this is the last I had in this colourway. I've been desperately searching for more, but so far I've had no luck...
...the beautiful soft green fabric was left over from the Butterfly Garden quilt that I'd made a few years ago, and was perfect for the binding along the opening of this bag. Now I just need to buy a few more "pink" bits and bobs to tuck inside and it will be ready for the birthday girl!
About me...
Hi - welcome to my blog! If you want to share or pin any of my pictures, please link back to my blog, as these are all my own photographs. There are links on the sidebar to the quilting shops that I purchase fabrics and patterns from. I do not sell patterns or fabric, and please don't offend me by asking for photocopies of the patterns that I have purchased.

Rick Santorum is the first current candidate to "welcome" Texas Governor Rick Perry to the GOP nomination race even though Perry's expected announcement isn't until Saturday in South Carolina while Santorum and the rest will be busy in Ames.
Immediately after the niceties of the welcome, though, Santorum took not one but two swipes at Perry. He chastized him for skipping our state, saying "it's too bad he chose to ignore Iowa" and then wondered out loud "what kind of marriage [Perry] will be 'fine with' in South Carolina." Perry infamously quipped a week ago that he was "fine" with New York legalizing homosexual marriage, saying it was a state's issue. Under some pressure, he later "clarified" his position and said he is for a constitutional amendment to restrict marriage to one man-one woman (which would take a 'yes' vote from 3/4 of the states).
Either news is really slow (it's not) or Rick Santorum is picking up a little bit of steam on the campaign trail. The Google alerts are picking up–and he's making all the right people mad. Folks like the San Francisco Chronicle, Think Progress, On Top Magazine, etc, have been finding some extra time to focus on Santorum's "politically incorrect" socially conservative statements.
Back in his homestate of Pennsylvania, the Pittsburg Post-Gazette has a "Daily Santorum" article. Yesterday's column was a thorough examination of Santorum's recent sit-down with the Des Moines Register. He got "passionate" about a couple of issues–namely health care and drilling for oil. It's a good read–and it's good coverage for a man who is hoping to beat expectations in less than a week in Ames.

How many calories are you really burning?
The notion that calories in and calories out is all that matters when it comes to being healthy and slim is totally passe. Even so, when it comes to workouts, lots of people from those starting a weight-loss journey to fitness junkies still constantly want to know: How many calories am I burning?? Turns out, the answer's a little complicated—and super subjective.
To get in the ballpark, more women than ever are sporting discreet trackers like the Up by Jawbone, the Fitbit, and the Nike Fuelband. And some workout hotspots, like Bari Studio and The Studio by Remorca Fitness, have sophisticated tracking systems that allow you to see your heart rate as you sweat and chart your burn progress after.
"Every class is different, but no matter what, it should be an efficient hour of your life," says Bari head trainer Michelle Pellizzon. "The tracking system's really kept us honest, and it keeps our clients honest." That's important, since lots of workouts will try to tempt you with overarching claims that can't possibly be accurate, i.e., "You WILL burn 800 calories in 45 minutes without even working hard!"
The truth: You will burn a completely different number of calories than the woman sweating to your right and the dude on your left.
We tracked our own calorie expenditures, chatted with trainers from these metrics-focused studios, and got the scoop from a top exercise physiologist to bring you this simple break down of the many factors influencing your actual—and very personal—calorie burn:
1. Body weight. The list of factors is a long one, but "the biggest thing is your body composition," says Ciaran Friel, medical director at fitness-meets-medicine center La Palestra. The more you weigh, the more calories you'll burn as you increase your heart rate, because more mass means more energy needed to get moving. In an example with one person weighing 100 pounds, and another 200, the heavier person "could almost be burning twice as many calories, if they're working just as hard," Friel explains.
2. Muscle mass. More muscle mass just equals more calorie burn, which is why lots of trainers advocate heavy weight lifting as an essential part of any weight-loss plan. "When we're building muscle mass, we're creating more metabolically active cells," Friel explains. This is one reason men tend to burn more than women.
3. Fitness level. As you shed pounds and become, say, a better runner, you're moving through space in a mechanically efficient way that requires less energy, and, therefore, less calorie burn. Remorca co-owner Nedra Lopez says her clients often get frustrated as they get in shape and watch their calorie counts go down. "They complain and say, 'Now I'm in better shape, but I don't burn as many calories, and I get drunk faster!'" she laughs. "I tell them, 'Yes, but you look great and you're healthy!'"
4. How hard you work. This one's obvious, but more important than you may think. During class, you've got to push it. In my Bari class, for example, a regular client about my size burned 50 more calories than me. But she knew the dance moves and could rock them out, while I kept pausing to try to get the steps right. Working really hard at high levels of intensity has also been shown to increase afterburn, meaning you'll keep burning more calories once you're back at your desk (which is one reason HIIT workouts have taken off).
In the end, "calorie burn is pretty individual, and there are lots of variables," Friel says. "We just have to be realistic about how we arrive at that number of total calories burned." —Lisa Elaine Held

love your site! Great information!
October 14th, 2013 at 5:06 pm
Nice work!
That random number count is the MOST counterproductive thing on all levels. Which is why I ask a LOT of questions before shooting out a number answer. So many things need to be considered in the equation. What's the muscle to fat ratio?? What KIND of calories are they taking IN? Where in fact did they come UP with this magic number? And also, women: remember how hormones and cycles can mess with your mind! Avoid marrying those numbers…….they are the last thing that should "define" you :)

Great post. I had no idea getting an accurate calorie burn count was so involved.
May 30th, 2014 at 11:50 am
I would really love to see an article on your picks for a heart rate monitor to use. :)
January 15th, 2016 at 11:32 am
so… which is best to purchase to get most accurate calorie burn? heart rate monitor or a wrist fit bit thingy b/c I have been hearing lately that those wrist monitors can be quite off with calorie burn. I only have $ to buy one.

The best thing about these particular tubes is that they fit both my 26 x 1.9 road tyres and my 2.35 muddies so I no longer need two different sets of tubes. This was a top quality product at an economy price, the best kind of deal. 24 January 2012Good inner tube Was cheaper to book online and pick up locally from a store even if more expensive instore you pay the online price 12 January 2012Cracking value performance innertubes This larger diameter MTB innertube is of excellent quality, and is very durable and flexible too. As expected of the continental brand, they perform excellently and although I was running relatively low pressures in 2.35 diameter tyre (30 psi) I did not suffer any pinch flats at all on a 36 mile off road ride. The only downside is they are not available in a self sealing option, however I have had no punctures yet so maybe it's not that necessary! 16 November 2011Very good quality Bought these after inccuring a puncture and ordred these inner tubes. They are very good, so far so good. 19 October 2011
