My Life In Media: The One Show's Christine Bleakley
'You have a split second to get tone, questions and all the rest of it right. You can't redo live performances'
Monday 22 September 2008
Christine Bleakley, 28, is Adrian Chiles's co-presenter on The One Show, the BBC lunchtime magazine show. She was born and raised near Belfast and gave up a politics degree to take a position with BBC Northern Ireland. Performing runs in the family; her father is a drummer who has worked with Van Morrison and was managed by Louis Walsh. She is taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing and has been partnered with Matthew Cutler, who won last year's show with Alesha Dixon.
What inspired you to embark upon a career in the media?
I have no idea, but from a very young age all my make-believe games revolved around pretend television programmes. I was never in front of the camera. I was always the one in control behind the scenes. I asked for a video camera for Christmas one year so I could record my "programmes" and I'm not in any of them. You can just hear me bossing my sister about or whoever else I'd coerced into playing TV with me.
When you were 15 years old, which newspaper did your family get, and did you read it?
There were always loads of newspapers round the house. The Belfast Telegraph was always one of them and The Newtownards Chronicle. They actually phoned me for an interview just now – a very proud moment for me. I always read them. Our politics in Northern Ireland were very full on at that time and I was fascinated with who was saying what.
What were your favourite TV/radio programmes?
I've always loved comedy. Billy Connolly was a favourite. As a kid I loved Kenny Everett. That thing where he swung his legs around made me howl. I hated most kids' programmes, actually, though I loved Anne of Green Gables and I can still recite long sections of it. The radio was all about music and was mainly on Radio One.
What are the media sources you turn to first in the morning?
Television. I'm addicted to rolling news. I switch between BBC Breakfast, Sky News and GMTV.
Describe your job.
I present The One Show with Adrian Chiles. We get in at lunchtime and go through the script, looking at whatever VTs we'll be running and the biogs of whichever guest we have on. It's nerve-wracking, but incredibly exciting for me. Adrian is prone to slipping into very dark moods as transmission approaches and I consider it part of my job to get him out of it before he drags everyone else down with him. It doesn't help with West Brom being back in the Premier League and losing most weekends!
Do you consult any media sources during the day?
I flick through most papers and the television's on BBC News 24 in our office.
What do you tune into when you get home?
E4, mainly. It's the best way of tuning out of what I've had to be tuned into all day.
What is the best thing about your job?
The excitement of doing a live show never pales and the people I work with are great. I hardly knew anybody in London when I came over a year ago and my colleagues are now almost family to me.
And the worst?
I love long lunches and lost afternoons. When you're live on the telly at 7pm five nights a week, they're a thing of the past.
How do you feel you influence the media?
I don't think I influence anything personally, although I suppose the unexpected success of The One Show must have had some effect on the industry's thinking.
Name the one career ambition you want to realise before you retire?
At the moment all I want to do is get through Strictly without making a complete fool of myself. I'm so scared. A repeat of the Children in Need near-calamity is a real possibility.
What is your Sunday paper? And do you have a favourite magazine?
I pick up the The Sunday Times, The Observer and The News of the World. I also really love Grazia and I'm partial to a bit of Hello! and Heat. And I think some of the writing in Vanity Fair is excellent.
What's the proudest achievement in your working life?
Just doing what I'm doing on The One Show, but if I can nail the salsa on Strictly, that will come a very close second.
And what's your most embarrassing moment?
Sparing you the details, I very nearly did a Paula Radcliffe in the London Marathon at Children in Need Northern Ireland a few years ago. I might have entered television history that night, but I doubt it would have done my career much good.
What would you do if you didn't work in the media?
I'd like to fly helicopters. Air ambulance or air-sea rescue or something like that.
Who in the media do you most admire and why?
Gloria Hunniford. She came from a relatively humble background in Northern Ireland and quickly established herself here and, despite everything life's thrown at her, she's still going strong at the top of her game. And, to my delight, on the couple of occasions I've met her, she's turned out to be a really decent person too.

WITHOUT a large-scale orchestra of national stature in regular residence, Oxford can sometimes seem deficient in elements of the mainstream musical repertoire. But Oxford has traditionally enjoyed a rich choral life, which extends to the many concerts that colleges mount, drawing sometimes on their own forces, sometimes on peripatetic undergraduates or choral scholars.
Sometimes a substantial enduring choir emerges; and their repertoire can be intriguing. Commotio is one: a recent ...

Many great pitchers go their entire career without ever coming close to a perfect game. For Bryan County's Tiffany Howard, there are two to reflect on from this season alone.
CLAXTON - The Claxton Tigers are counting their blessings this week after what appeared to be a serious injury to a star player has not only turned out to be a minor issue, but has also shown the team the abilities of a new breakout performer.
The standings don't take it into consideration, but all wins aren't created equal.
Five games in six days is a tough task for any team.
For the second consecutive week, it was a fourth quarter interception that was the main factor in a Statesboro victory.
CLAXTON - Claxton's star running back, Shavez Mincey, left the game with an injury midway through the second quarter, but the rest of the offense answered the bell.
BROOKLET-It wasn't as bad as it looked. Really. This isn't just a "hometown newspaper" thing.
Bulloch Academy turned five Tiftarea fumbles into points Friday night as the Gators pummeled the Panthers 48-7 in the GISA Region 1-AAA opener for both teams.
The Screven County Gamecocks picked up their first win of the season in the region opener, beating Jefferson County 31-19 in a back-and-forth affair with a wild fourth quarter.
Despite the relative closeness of the schools, tonight will mark just the second all-time meeting between Statesboro and Tattnall County when the two square off at Womack Field at 7:30 p.m.
After two weeks on the road battling non-region foes, Bulloch Academy begins its eight-game Region 2-IAAA schedule tonight at Gator Alley, hosting the winless Tiftarea Panthers.
PORTAL - After a stunning setback last week, the Portal Panthers will try to get back to their winning ways tonight as they travel over to Evans County to take on Claxton at 7:30 p.m.
BROOKLET-Southeast Bulloch has boiled tonight's matchup against Bleckley County down to a simple catchphrase - "Make them snap it again."
PEMBROKE - Last season, Mark Wilson struggled in his first year as the head coach at Bryan County. Trying to make some changes on a team that was heavy on youth and light on recent success, the Redskins stumbled to a winless 0-10 mark, but this season, a resurgence has Wilson and his team sitting at 2-0 through their first two games.
For many high school football teams, the goal is simply to find a way to put up the most points each week. For Statesboro, which can boast more wins than most, everything is about the bigger picture.
In the summer of 2011, the Statesboro volleyball team consisted of little more than a court, a net, and a handful of girls willing to try their hand at a new sport.
DUBLIN - The Screven County Gamecocks improve to 7-0 on the season and 3-0 in 3-AA play after a 28-21 win over East Laurens.
WAYNESBORO - Bulloch Academy won the battle of the wishbone offenses at Rogers Field Friday night to spoil Edmund Burke Academy's homecoming with a dominating 21-0 win.
Adairsville 49, Murray County 6
BROOKLET - A rough start is fading fast as Southeast Bulloch continues to build momentum.
A televised Thursday night game might have been just the spark that Statesboro needed.
BROOKLET - Now that Southeast Bulloch finally has a win under its belt, the Yellow Jackets can really get down to business.
The Portal Panthers will look to right the ship tonight and put an end to their three game losing streak as they travel to Savannah to take on Savannah Country Day in a Region 3A-A matchup.
Terence Hennessy returns to Rogers Field on the campus of Edmund Burke Academy tonight for the first time since he traded his red and white shirts for green and gold ones.
There's no good way to sugarcoat it.
BROOKLET - Over a month into the season, things seemed to be getting a bit dicey for Southeast Bulloch. A state playoff team last season, the Yellow Jackets stumbled their way to an 0-4 start thanks to a very tough slate of games to begin the year.
A season that started in the oppressive heat of August is cranking up the pressure just as the temperatures are cooling off.
Bulloch Academy pounded out 21 hits in two games to overpower Westwood Monday at Gator Alley in the opening round of the GISA Class AAA softball playoffs.
Bulloch Academy scored 23 unanswered points in the second quarter to break open a tight game to defeat the Brentwood Eagles 36-12 Friday night.
Allatoona 62, Alexander 21

Oklahoma earthquakes felt in Kansas
Send this to a friend
- Staff Wichita Business Journal
Several earthquakes rattled parts of central Oklahoma during the weekend, and some residents of south-central Kansas felt the quakes, too.
KAKE News reports a 3.8 magnitude earthquake hit an area about 55 miles north of Oklahoma City at 7:42 a.m. Another series of quakes hit the area near Langston, Okla., between 9 and 10 a.m. Sunday. A couple of the temblors were felt as far north as Wichita.

Ok, I went back and forth as to enter a quilt in the Quilt Bloggers Festival over at Amy's Creative Side. This will be my first time entering my quilts into any type of competition. To sum it up, it's really quite nerve-wracking! I decided to enter my Modern Maples quilt into the Small Quilt competition. Head over to the links to see all the action. Voting starts next week!

Doubling Up
This year I have been o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d. with the Sugar Block of the Month club from Stitchery Dickory Dock. Each month Amy has came out with great patterns. I am so in love that I am making a twin sized quilt from the January block for my sister!
While creating October's block I realized that at the end of the year that would only be 12 blocks and with sashing would amount to a baby quilt or a very small throw after adding a border. This just wouldn't do! I ordered more secondary fabric and cut into my stash. I went back and made doubles and sometimes triples of each block, with the goal of 30 blocks by the end of the year. Right now there are 24 done. Whew!
Every time I lay all these blocks out I fall in love in a little more. Only 6 more to go!

Dress Dyeing
Disclaimer: This post is not about quilting but an adventure in dying clothing and is wordy, be warned!
About 5 years ago I bought a bunch of bridesmaid dresses from J. Crew during a clearance sale, they each cost $20 - $30 each and where originally about $180. A great deal I couldn't resist. These two were both a very pale pink, and ended up looking horrible with my skin tone. Not even sure why I would buy these colors! After doing some research on dying fabrics, this weekend I finally overcame my nerves and dyed them both. Here is the before photo.
The dress on the left is the perfect fit all girls dream about and is all cotton. The dress on the right also fits great but is silk. According to the tutorials silk is harder to dye, so I didn't have high hopes. Rit brand dye had the best reviews, was the oldest, and cheapest. I chose the colors teal and wine, in the liquid format. To dye the fabrics I picked up a couple cheap plastic trash cans, if the dye stained them it wouldn't be a loss. I also used the whole bottle of dye instead of the 1/2 bottle in the directions and only used about 2 gallons for each dye, just enough water for the dresses to move around freely and be covered in liquid. This made the solution stronger and the final result more vibrant.
I first took the wine colored dress (silk) out of the dye after two hours of soaking and realized the color was not even after the dress was washed. Conclusion: need try to re-dye and keep in the dye longer? It got a new dye bath this time staying in all day and night (24 hours total). Probably not the best for the silk but at this point it was already "ruined" and worth trying to save. Well, it was worth the re-dye. The second time it came out awesome. The dress shrunk up in length, so the slip will need to be hemmed but that is the only issue! The color came out nice and rich and looks great with my skin tone. (Sorry I have no photos of me in the dress, it was too cold out to futz with the timer!)
The teal colored dress (cotton) stayed in the dye overnight, about 18 hours total. Each hour, the dress got moved around to assure the dye was reaching all the fabric. The next morning it got rinsed and washed. The results were amazing. In one night this dress went from never will wear this, to when is my next formal event?! There are some spots the color didn't take as well. These are only notable when really looking at the fabric. The natural sheen of the fabric makes it hard to tell even in direct sunlight. Conclusion: keep dress in dye for at 18 - 24 hours although the directions say 30 - 60 minutes! The silk sash didn't take the dye well, but I really like the marbling affect.
You can see in the picture how close the original color is to my skin tone ... eek and I am still sporting a tan from this summer! Overall, this project was a huge success. I now love both dresses, they are fun colors that work well with my pale complexion. The Rit dye was easy to use, although use gloves because it does stain skin. My left hand has had a wine color tint for a day or two, oops. Now I am wondering what else I can dye?

Sunday Stash
Ok, it's about time I participated in the stashing of awesomeness! This year I have vowed to keep my stash under control and have done a decent job at cutting back the amount of fabric on hand. Over the year more fabric has been quilted than bought (hello motivation). This week has been an exception, I picked up these FQs at my LQS. Also, more damage was done at Sew Fresh Fabrics going out of business sale ... but those won't arrive for a while. After all, it was on sale. More on that later.
Now, I need to get quilting on my WIPs so I can cut into these new lovelies. Thanks Molli for hosting this great link up each week ... of course I am linking up to Molli Sparkles :) The button was also added to my sidebar. Yay, to new blog bling!

Tone it Down! Update ...
First of all... the WINNER of Mondays giveaway goes to ....
Teresa if you could e-mail me your address, I'll get these in the mail!
You all had AMAZINGLY nice things to say, this week has been kinda crazy at school with grades being due ... eek. Rest assured that I read each and every comment, although I didn't respond (sorry poor manners). Thank you again for making this blogging journey such an awesome experience!
Now on to regularly recorded blogging ...
It's official the packages have arrived and Michelle (From Bolt to Beauty) and I have sorted them into 28 perfect little bundles of fabric for you all :). Michelle is mailing them today or tomorrow. There wasn't one bad fabric in the bunch and that is saying something. Every time Michelle would reach for a new bag of fabric I kept getting giddy with delight. I have seen most on our Flickr page but seeing them in my hands was just so much better!

I have seen most on our Flickr page but seeing them in my hands was just so much better!
Now I just need to come up with a plan to use them, my mind is racing and it's difficult to settle on just one idea. We are encouraging people to post what they make from their packs in the flickr group so we can see what all these magical squares become! Here are some fabric highlights or fabrics I got exceptionally giddy about ...
Lately, some of my peeps have been asking about finding low volume fabrics, here is a linked list of some low volumes I am currently loving.
- Pink Castle offers two bundles Word Up includes some great text prints, and a Super Awesome Low Volume. They also have a great selection of low volume yardage.
- Moda has come out with two lines, Elementary and Figures, that have some great texty prints.
- Art Gallery has a few lines that have AWESOME low volume selections, Cherie, Cleta, and Littlest are some of my favorites right now.
- Intrepid Thread has a low volume bundle in both a FQ and half yard.
Almost every line of fabric has at least one low volume print, the key is finding them because they don't always draw you in with beautiful prints and colors. Most fabric sites allow you to look by color way, so searching whites and creams brings up most fabric that would be considered low volume. Some sites even let you search low volume! I try to get a selection of both cream and white backgrounds to add to the scrappy look. Also very pale tan's and gray's add some pizzaz.
Also look at the goods Michelle gave me for helping organize the swap! I am thinking Christmas gifts from this book.
****If you missed this round Michelle and I were already talking about doing another swap this winter after the holiday. We are not sure of the theme yet, but stay tuned!

Round Trip Quilts
It's time to share Border 2 for Round Trip Quilts! This center came from Sew Mary Quilts. It has an awesome gradient rainbow star to work from! I had to do something with color families to play into what she already started in the middle. Mary sent a small notebook full of ideas for borders, and I feel in love with the idea of an arrow.
Having never sewn arrows and needing a pattern that would fit perfectly to the 16.25 inch side, I grabbed some graph paper and kept my fingers crossed it would work out. I laid out the parts for four arrows, one for each side. Each arrow has two of the color families from the center block. The proportions worked out well perfectly, each arrow wasn't too long or too short.
I was stumped on the corner block, so I sent out an Instagram SOS. They gave me the great idea of a four-patch that ties into the already established corner blocks.
Now I need to write in the notebook sharing my ideas and design for the newest border! Hopefully Mary likes what has been added to her block :) The block is now headed to Christina at Wips & Tuts.

Music Video Premiere: Leo Justi - "O Homen Mau (Sniper Queen)"
Nov 2 2012
This video was directed by Julio Secchin, whose Vimeo page is worth checking out. We asked him for a quick bio, and he sent us a full director's statement of his latest video for Brazilian producer and DJ Leo Justi:
Sniper Queen is one of the most iconic characters to emerge from this year's Brazilian music-video production. Like Leo Justi's music, he blends the harsh ghetto lifestyle with sophisticated and complex elements. Patrolling the rooftops of Rio de Janeiro, he wears his unmistakable fur coat with shiny wrestling tights, portraying himself as a superhero with a sniper rifle.

Residents ignored
Relevant offers
Christchurch Mail
A determined group of Rotherham St residents are hoping the city council will "see reason" regarding further extensions and alterations to Westfield Riccarton, which is already casting a shadow over their lives.
Bruce Fraser lives on the corner of Dilworth St and Rotherham St. When he moved in over 10 years ago, his house got all-day sun, he could stroll to the mall, and getting out of his driveway was never an issue.
Extension after extension to Westfield Riccarton has seen his house cast in shadow and made parking impossible.
"I take my life in my hands every time I cross the road outside my house. It's dangerous, " he said.
Riccarton mall has expanded several times in the last 10 years. Larger parking structures, sky- bridges, and cinema extensions all happened without consultation with residents.
Over time, traffic in the area has increased, sunlight has been blocked, and street parking has become more and more of an issue.
Council resource consents manager John Higgins said the site was zoned Business 2, which allowed for a suburban mall.
"Essentially why the previous consents have been granted on a non-notified basis is that the site provides for what is proposed, " he said.
"Decisions on those applications have been made by independent planning commissioners."
Debbie Richards has led the residents' campaign to have mall consents notified.
"The resource consent documents say that the effect on residents - us - has been 'less than minor'. That's not true, the effects have been tremendous, " she said.
This time around, Westfield is applying to add a floor to its new parking structure on the corner of Clarence and Dilworth streets. It also wants to add floors within the structure.
There will also be a new, bigger access ramp built along Dilworth St.
Mrs Richards said the Rotherham St residents were not opposed to the mall and its expansion. They had moved into the area knowing it was there.
However, they did want the council to consult regarding extensions, in the hopes that resident feedback would solve issues they faced daily.
Mrs Richards said a particular problem was the increase in traffic, which most days was "chaotic".
"One elderly man who lives in this street has almost been knocked off his mobility scooter several times. "His wife is afraid for his safety.
"He has to drive on to the road on his scooter just to see past the parked cars. Crossing is almost impossible, " she said.
Mrs Richards said many problems could be solved by free staff parking. The mall charged $2 a day but many staff park on the streets.
She rang Westfield in Australia and the United States, and learnt staff parking was free there.
"I don't see why Riccarton can't do the same, " she said.
She wanted to speak to the council about a viable traffic management and pedestrian access plan, and blocked natural light.
"All we want is some input, some say in these changes."

Eskimo melts igloo to avoid bank repossession
NOME, ALASKA - After being notified by his bank that his home would be seized for non-payment, Nerro Miktok spent weeks wondering what to do. After some thought, Nerro decided to not let the bank get the best of him, and melted his igloo to the ground.
"It was a very liberating experience," Miktok stated. "Those greedy bankers were ready to come and kick me out of this place, probably hook it up to a dog sled and take it away. Looks like they're going to need to bring a wet-dry vac instead."
Mr. Miktok began the process of melting his home by simply playing with a disposable lighter against the ceiling. Other family members helped out with the job using a welding flame and a hair dryer.
"I hope the bank arrives to take this small pond before it evaporates." said a laughing Miktok while eating seal jerky.
Miktok and his wife say they have plans to build a new home out of a half ton supply of whale blubber they received as a wedding gift back in the nineties when whale blubber prices were at an all time low.
Miktok's bold move against the bank comes as similar situations have been happening around the country. A man in the Cincinnati area bulldozed his soon to be foreclosed upon home, a couple in Arizona used a garden hose to turn their adobe home into a puddle of earth, sand and straw before the bankers could take it, and a man living on the streets of New York City fed his cardboard home to rats before it could be repossessed by the refrigerator warehouse dumpster where he obtained it.

Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and former Chief Registrar Gladys Shollei went to war on twitter over alleged corrupt deals in the Judiciary.
US Secret Service agents arrested the latest person to jump over White House fence.
Beirut - International envoy and former UN chief Kofi Annan left
Syria on Sunday without a deal to end the bloody year-old conflict as
regime forces mounted a new assault on rebel strongholds in the north.
Annan said he presented President Bashar Assad with concrete proposals "which will have a real impact on the ground".
it's agreed, it will help launch the process and help end the crisis on
the ground," he told reporters at the end of his two-day visit to
Annan, who also met with Syrian opposition leaders and
businessmen in Damascus, said he was optimistic following two sets of
talks with Assad, but acknowledged that resolving the crisis would be
"It's going to be difficult but we have to have hope," he said.
former UN chief called for reforms that would create "a solid
foundation for a democratic Syria", but added: "You have to start by
stopping the killing and the misery and the abuse that is going on today
and then give time for a political settlement."
The ongoing
bloodshed cast a pall over the UN efforts to end the country's yearlong
conflict, with both the regime and the opposition refusing talks with
the other.
In his discussions with Assad on Saturday,
Annan made several proposals to end the political crisis and start a
political dialogue.
He was rebuffed by the president who
rejected any immediate negotiations with the opposition, striking a
further blow to already faltering international efforts for talks to end
the conflict.
Assad told Annan that a political solution is impossible as long as "terrorist groups" threaten the country.
opposition's political leadership has also rejected dialogue, saying
talk is impossible after a crackdown that the UN estimates has killed
more than 7 500 people. That makes it likely that the conflict will
continue to edge toward civil war.
Annan left Syria later on Sunday, headed for Qatar, a UN spokesperson said.
Military units loyal to Assad appear to have been freed up
after finally crushing lightly armed rebels in the Homs neighbourhood of
Baba Amr last week, and are on the attack in Idlib province, across the
border from key opposition supply bases in Turkey.
Troops on
Saturday launched a long-anticipated assault to crush the opposition in
Idlib province, bombarding its main city with tank shells from all sides
and clashing with rebel fighters struggling to hold back an invasion.
forces had been building up for days around Idlib, the capital of a
hilly, agricultural province along the Syria-Turkey border that has been
a hotbed of protests against Assad's regime.
A Turkish official said the violence had led to a spike in Syrian civilians fleeing to Turkey.
1 000 have crossed the border in the past week as opposed to 1 000 in
the previous month, the official said, speaking on condition of
anonymity under government protocol.
Turkey now hosts about 12 500 Syrians - part of the more than 100 000 refugees who have fled to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

Holiday Guide: Diane's Wish List

Tees for Tots — and the Rest of Your List
I am in love with TrulySanctuary's "Not the Black Sheep" and "Don't Hate" tees in sizes for everyone from babies to grandmas. TrulySanctuary was created when the owners decided their daughter Truly-Louise deserved something more than pastel puppies and kitties. Which means I want to give my nieces — the hippest kids in my life — each a tee. ($26, TrulySanctuary.etsy.com) And for adults, I want to give every Occupier on my list one of Frank and Jan's awesomely good new tees, "Unemployment Is the New Black" or "Gossip Is the New Pornography" ($24, FrankAndJan.com). And each year I buy myself something from the cool DykeTees; this year I gobbled up the "Queer. Here. Get Used to It" tee ($25, DykeTees.com)
