Leslie Roberts
After an earlier stint as a senior writer at Science, where she was widely known for her coverage of the Human Genome Project, Leslie returned as a deputy news editor in 2000, specializing in public health, infectious diseases, stem cells, and ecology. She supervises a fantastic team of biology writers, who cover topics such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, influenza, tropical and neglected diseases, and biodefense, as well as conservation biology, restoration ecology, and environmental policy.
Leslie occasionally gets time to write her own stories, which for the past few years have focused on infectious diseases in poor countries. She's a two-time winner of the American Society for Microbiology Public Communications Award, first in 2005 for her article, "Polio: The Final Assault?" and second for a malaria series written with Martin Enserink, who shared the award in 2008. For a piece entitled "Rotavirus Vaccine's Second Chance," she won the 2005 Communications Award from the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
In between her stints at Science, Leslie was the editor-in-chief of the World Resources Report, a joint publication of the World Resources Institute, the World Bank, and the United Nations. At WRI, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, her group specialized on issues of environment, development, and human health. Before that, Leslie was senior editor and then editor-in-chief of Issues in Science and Technology, the policy journal of the National Academy of Sciences.
Leslie received an undergraduate degree in English literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a master's degree in science journalism from the University of Minnesota.
When she is not working, Leslie can usually be found paddling her sprint kayak on the Potomac River, running, or walking her dog.

As I continue my 'new normal,' it is time to shed, or at least place in the background, the cancer layer of my identity.
My writing, and your reading and comments, helped me tremendously through the rough and not so rough patches, and hopefully, helped a number of you as well. Putting this all together in book form was also a way to try to put this behind me, and have this reference material available to those who find it useful.
While I had originally planned to continue the blog until the two-year mark, the time when the worst of the odds are over, this increasingly seems artificial as I get on with my life. In many ways, as some of you have likely noticed, I am running out of things to say about cancer and lymphoma, and my weekly update is becoming rather artificial at best, narcissistic at worst.
And I have noticed from a number of other cancer-related blogs that I follow, that others have also scaled back, reflecting their need to 'get on with their lives' so to speak. So while I will continue to flag some articles of interest via Twitter, and post the occasional update should the occasion warrant it, I will no longer be compiling my articles of the week and writing my weekly updates.
I will still follow some of the cancer blogs that I have found particularly helpful, and tell my story where it can help fundraising or other awareness initiatives but, as we say in government, I will largely be in a 'responsive mode.'
My other writing project, a book related to my time in government, is progressing and requires my focus and attention.
As you know, the nature of my lymphoma and treatment means that relapse remains a possibility. Hopefully, I will not need to reactivate this blog anytime soon. But for now, I have the luxury of signing off to pursue my other interests.
To the many of you who have followed this blog or dipped in occasionally, thank you for your interest and support. For those fellow travellers on the cancer journey, may you in particular be well, active and enjoy life.

Google Play Music has just received a notable update to add a few features that have been bugging users for some time now. Right off the top you'll spot a proper reverse button on the music widget, letting you go backwards in albums or playlists without entering the app. Instant mixes can now continue on past 25 tracks as well, and you can shuffle albums, artists or playlists. The default album art is changed to a simpler grey tile also.
When you pin albums or tracks, you can now see the progress of the download from that album or playlist view rather than just in the settings. There is also apparently a bugfix that should solve the problem of some Galaxy SIII (S3) devices freezing when using the app. It's a whole bunch of useful fixes and improvements, so go grab the update from the Play Store now.

Current Law Students / Re: A Linux geek's law school computer set up« on: July 22, 2007, 03:27:38 PM »
...But the main point that I wanted to make was that laptops with no OS or the "free" OS aren't much different in price compared to the Windows based laptops. So in the end, "Windows" isn't really costing you much, if anything at all.
Ah. Got you. I believe though, that this is also not true. I think a compelling argument could be made that a Linux laptop is cheaper for many reasons, such as:
- No need to purchase virus checking software and yearly subscription.
- No need to spend time and degrade HD by periodically defragmenting it.
- No requirement or pressure to purchase the office suite.
- No need to upgrade laptop past the factory-installed memory in order to use standard applications.
I'm not saying that these are conclusive, but this should show that the issue isn't so black-and-white.

Not to veer too far off the track, but when my husband and I were looking for a marriage counselor, it was unbelievably difficult to find one that accepted much less respected and honored (rather than disparaged and even ridiculed) our Orthodox Christian pov, values and beliefs.
Nope...haven't had any marriage counseling.....come to think of it....I've not had a marriage, either!
Apparently no one else had marriage counselling...

Five-Minute Buttermilk Bread
As Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, meaning six more weeks of winter (in Minnesota, this is good news), I leafed through my new Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book.
So many possibilities! I finally decided to make the buttermilk bread--just because I had buttermilk in the refrigerator. (Buttermilk in the refrigerator is a perpetual problem--first, you're required to use it up, because you've been brought up not to waste food; second, as you've almost made it through the quart, you realize that you don't have enough to make the fourth buttermilk recipe, so you have to buy more; third, back to step one. I decided to throw away the rest of the buttermilk after I finished with this bread, ignoring the voices of my mother and grandmothers).
I was more impressed with this bread than I was with the semolina bread. I liked the texture and flavor a lot, and I got the salt right this time.
A brief segue to the virtues of weighing instead of measuring: The first thing I did, after deciding what bread to try next, was to convert the cups to grams. As I suspected, the whole oversalting issue would have been avoided if the recipes in this book were in ounces or grams instead of cups or tablespoons. I carefully measured out 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt--22 grams. Then I weighed 22 grams of table salt--1 tablespoon.
In other words, if the master recipe specified 22 grams of salt instead of 1 1/2 tablespoons, it wouldn't matter what kind of salt you used. This time I used 22 grams of kosher salt, and I thought it was just right.
I can't really blame the authors for this. In fact, I noticed that Zoe Francois's web site notes that they considered using weights and decided against it because so few Americans weigh ingredients. I agree. I am a dedicated convert, but I have yet to convince a single person that weighing ingredients is not only more accurate, but much EASIER and NEATER. (No more scraping a quarter-cup of honey from a measuring cup and then washing the cup). When I say this, people just look at me, gimlet-eyed.
Like the first bread I made from this book, mixing the dough up is ridiculously easy. Put water, buttermilk, salt, yeast, sugar, and all-purpose white flour in a mixing bowl; mix with a dough hook (or just stir) until everything comes together; let rise for a couple of hours, then refrigerate for future use. Or make one loaf immediately, as I did.
The buttermilk bread recipe makes three 1 1/2-pound loaves instead of four 1-pound loaves. The 1 1/2-pound loaf is a nicer size, I think, so I'll probably continue to make my loaves bigger than the specified one-pounders.
Even though I cut slices while the bread was still warm, the bread stood up to the knife without being squashed, yet it had a tender crumb. Although I used all white flour, I'm sure you could substitute part whole-wheat with equally good results. While I thought the five-minute semolina bread was good, it wasn't as good as a more complicated recipe. This bread, however, compares favorably with any other white sandwich bread I've made. The authors also include a cinnamon-raisin bread recipe used with this bread dough and suggest that you can use the dough for any of the boule recipes in an earlier chapter.
My daughter Sarah came over for a visit just as this bread was coming out of the oven. Although she's lost twelve pounds on the South Beach diet, and has been steely in her resolve to cut back on carbs, this bread was more than she could say no to. I was sorry to be responsible for her breaking her diet, but like any mother, I was happy she said yes when I said, "Would you like another slice?"
P.S. Local readers may want to check out the Edesia Cookbook Review that will be held at the Galleria's Barnes & Noble in Edina on Monday, Feb. 25 at 7:00. Kim Ode has started a monthly cookbook review, and the February session is on bread. Kim, who built her own bread oven and is active in the St. Paul Bread Club, Solveig Tofte, head baker at the Turtle Bread Company, and I will talk about some of our favorite bread cookbooks. It will be very informal and, I hope, fun. Of course, my topic is The Bread Bible.

I love your dirty, guilty buttermilk secret!
The bread looks great.
I totally agree with you on the measurements! Why is America so hooked on cups?
Bread looks great!
Yeah, people who don't weigh ingredients aren't REAL bakers in my opinion, LOL! America is in a time warp with measurements. Sure would make high school chemistry a lot easier to use only metric.
Hi Marie,
Your buttermilk bread looks great! I'm glad your daughter enjoyed it and hope she considered it a worth while treat during her successful diet!
Thank you for sharing! I love to see pictures of the bread people are baking!
If your cookbook group is open to everyone and I'm in town I would love to join you at the Galleria!
Thanks, Zoe Francois

I wish I could count you as a convert, but it sounds like you were weighing before I was. You may not be old enough to remember the time when the U.S. was going to switch to the metric system. The government gave us a five-year warning, but there was such an outcry that they gave up.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the cookbook review is free and open to the public--no reservations necessary. It will be held on the fourth Monday of every month, with a different topic each month.
By the way, a friend of mine, who has never baked a loaf of bread in her life, just picked up your cookbook and is looking forward to trying her first.

Now I'm going to have to go pick up this book.
I do have a comment about those who choose to use the phrase "you Americans" or the word "Americans" with such a pejorative tone. One of the things that makes most food blogs so enjoyable to read is the acceptance of everyone.
When I read those types of comments it underscores to me the close minded nature of the commenter and not so much the closed minded nature of the country. The UK refuses to move to the Euro despite wanting the rights of belonging to the EU in all other ways but currency. France refuses to move to a more global economy despite the high unemployment and blatant bigotry against the former colony immigrants that live in the suburbs of Paris. I could go on because despite the world view of us "Americans", some of us are well versed in world politics and not bulls in china shops when we travel.
Stepping back to my bread board now...
- TNelson said...
I am also a convert to weighing ingredients. When I first started baking bread, I bought a scale thinking "what a pain". Now I find myself put out when the ingredients in the recipe aren't by weight. It's easier, cleaner and more accurate by weight, I think and I've only been in this bread game a little over a year!
- jini said...
i promise i will weigh as soon as my scale returns.....it is on loan to a cubscout participating in a pinewood derby! how's that for an excuse?
i will see you at the galleria - a real live sighting!
- Melinda said...
Is this is turning into a political blog? Like hot potato topics such as cup measurements and George Bush? Sorry to start a political cooking debate!
(By the way...I am American and embrace all food loving nations even if they use cilantro!)LOL!
- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
I love talking about scales and weighting ingredients to watch peoples eyes glaze over! Unfortunately I many have been in that group a few years ago. Now, I click my heels when the recipe is by weight!!
- breadchick said...
I did not mean to come across so harshly. I bake by weight almost exclusively having been taught at an early age that is what most really accomplished bakers do.
For some reason last night (call it jet lag if you will having just returned from Europe), the comment that Americans need to embrace the metric system just hit a nerve.
That and having to explain "I" didn't personally put the idiot in charge in the White House (heck, I voted against it both times!) was probably what pushed me over the edge.
I have cups in both English and Metric and my scale always at ready so I can bake any recipe, any time.
OK, off to make some bread from Ireland now...
- breadbasketcase said...
I'm glad I added this cookbook to my collection. It's very satisfying to look in the refrigerator and see several plastic containers of dough just waiting to turn into bread.
Exactly! I bought my scale against my better judgment, thinking it would be difficult and a real nuisance. But now....
Great excuse! I can't wait to meet you in person.
I actually think I started it by mentioning George W. Bush. Not any too kindly, either.
We are all converts, aren't we? I know what you mean about people's eyes glazing over. It's like when my husband starts talking about the tax code.
- pinknest said...
melinda told me i had to be sure to check in becasue we are both on this hilarious buttermilk cycle!! i've made so many things bu t not bread yet. delicious!
- breadbasketcase said...
Yes, I laughed out loud when I read your cauliflower soup posting. The next time I have a quart of buttermilk, I'll make the soup. In fact, the solution to the too-much-buttermilk conundrum might be one all-buttermilk dinner. The real challenge would be to do it without people noticing that your menu is very, very buttermilk heavy.
Your can freeze buttermilk to use later!
- Doughadear said...
Hello Marie
Your bread looks wonderful and I am definitely looking into adding Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day to my bread book collection. I love being able to whip up a batch of dough and store it in the refrigerator and bake up a loaf a day or two later - you can never do that with cakes. I too am a convert to weighing - it is so much easier. Being Canadian we've been on the metric system now for years and years yet our cookbooks haven't converted to weight measurements. Most recipes are still written using imperial measurements with many showing metric conversions alongside but no weight measurements. BTW I baked the Golden Honey Oat Bread today using old sourdough and it is quite fabulous.
- breadbasketcase said...
Thanks for the freezing tip! It never even occurred to me that buttermilk could be frozen with no ill effects.
It's a surprise to ehar that your cookbooks don't give weight measurements--I guess we're not the only ones who are slow to change. I loved the golden honey oat bread--there are so many good breads to bake, and it's so hard to decide between trying new recipes and going back to the ones you know are going to work. When/if I retire, I think I'll bake a loaf of bread every day and give most of it away. People will run from me, like do from the people who try to give away zucchini in August.
Just found your blog and wanted to say hello from another Twin Cities person!
- breadbasketcase said...
Hello and welcome--thanks for leaving a note.
- Doughadear said...
Marie, they may run away from zucchini but they would never run away from your bread. I'd bet that they would probably line up outside your door in anticipation.
- breadbasketcase said...
That's a very nice thing to say!
- The Girl said...
i started reading your blog and was so intrigued that i had to go back and read it chronologically. i started the feb 2006 entries and now i'm in march of 2007. i hope you keep posting. i enjoy your writing, and the pictures are inticing as well.
- breadbasketcase said...
The Girl,
Well, I haven't run out of breads yet, so I'll probably keep going for a while. I'm also ingrigued by your adventures in becoming a baker!
Love your blog, had to laugh when you admitted you wanted to make every bread in The Bread Bible in one year! Glad to see you finally got to meet Rose in person. Thanks for all the great info and pictures

Every year after the Festival we hear about lots of amazing, impromptu things which happened – but which we didn't manage to see. So, this year, we thought we'd ask you folks to send us your photos, videos (YouTube/Vimeo links only, please) and/or descriptions of the unexpected happenings which you were lucky enough to stumble across.
If you were party to any of the things below (or something similar which we haven't even heard about yet!), please drop us a line with your memories and/or images to email@example.com, with the subject "Secret Glastonbury". We'll update this page as things come in…
Noah and the Whale balloon release
"During Noah and the Whale's set on The Park stage on Friday night, a man came round handing out big balloons to everyone. He instructed us to blow them up and hold on to them until he gave the signal. Just as they started playing 5 Years Time, the band were greeted by about 50 balloons flying above the crowd, and the atmosphere really lifted up a notch." Sam from the Cotswolds
Carl Barat's Stone Circle acoustic show
"We headed to the Stone Circle after The Boss on Saturday night. After watching the sun come up, Carl Barat strolled up the field right past us about 6am. He decided to join us and proceeded to play a mini acoustic gig. Very surreal and very nice." Tim from Wakefield
"We thought you'd like to see our pictures of the "intrepid microlite" intruder!!! For sheer balls we thought he should be allowed to stay in but security came and ooofed him out. Message to man: Next year buy a ticket!!!" Jan and Simon
Kele Le Roc in Shangri-la
"Kele Le Roc turned up and sang at one of the tiniest venues in that covered street area in Shangri-la late on Sunday. She sang Basement Jaxx's Romeo which she did originally did the vocal for and when her backing track crackled to a halt she toughed it out a capella with the crowd clapping the beat and supporting with the oh-we-ohs it was genuinely brilliant. Best a capella I've ever heard and the first time I've heard a crowd keep time so well. Sorry no pics." Lee H
A procession of discarded wellies
Spotted near the John Peel stage by David Jaremko
"The procession of wellies was the creation of 2 bored lock up crew members in the wee hours of the morning, my boyfriend swears he's a genius now! he was so proud of himself after he put it together, can't believe it's on your site, that's bloody brilliant!" leahX CND lockup crew
The Blockheads surprise set in the Rabbit Hole
Picture by Darren Dixon
"On a barmy Saturday night my wife (Wilma) and I ambled up To The Park stage to get a cup full of Bon Iver. Having arrived a little early for the show, we decided to explore the venues on site. Having climbed the Bedecked tower and consumed the magical view (Including watching Franz Ferdinand on the Other Stage, through a dodgy telescope); we strolled into the Wonderland, That is, 'The Rabbit Hole'. A Magical place indeed, we sampled the ambience for a while before taking our places at Font of Iver. As we watched and enjoyed, our attention was caught by a Mr Keith Allen! Mr Allen was clearly on a mission and despite the lack of a pocket watch, or elongated ears; he vanished White Rabbit like into the aforementioned Burrow. The look of intent on Mr Allens face was not lost on Wilma and I and we knew something special was going on under ground. Having Chilled to, 'A Good Winter', we gathered up our other troops and headed to The Rabbit Hole. As we got within earshot of The Burrow, we could hear familiar chords and lyrics drifting on the night air. Sex and Drugs and rock 'n roll………….Well Blow me down, If it wasn't the Mighty Blockheads, playing like there was no tomorrow. With an eclectic retinue in tow, A wonderment in a wonderland. Glasto moments dont come much better than that!" Rich
Banksy art around the site
Thanks to Felix for the picture
Another from Felix – "Located by the entrance to the VIP area, ha!"
Thanks to Natalie Dodd for the picture
Thanks to John for the pic
"There was some speculation within the safety team about whether the graffiti was Banksy's – and also on the value of certain pieces of steel shield, garden sheds etc. The panel next to "plain clothes drugs dealers in operation" may be a signature, or a critical comment, we may never know. The other panel just saying 'Banksy' was way out in the car parks and unlikely to be genuine – so next time some tries to sell you an over-priced panel of steel shield remember, caveat emptor."

Lady Gaga playing Shangri-la
"Walking thru Shangri-la we wandered into Club Dada where 20 or 30 people were gathered listening to the compere (sic!) announce "something special". Expecting some sort of drag act we stayed out of curiosity only to be completly stunned by an incredible full-on set by Lady Gaga. As expected Dada soon filled for Gaga and she didn't dissapoint. I'm not a fan but was bowled over by her energy and her complete performance. She knows how to work a crowd." Simon Parks
Bruce joins Gaslight Anthem on stage
Picture by Stephen Willoughby
"I'm the compere and stage manager on the John Peel Stage. I received a message from Artist Liaison at the Pyramid saying that the Boss was coming up to watch Gaslight Anthem from the monitor desk but it was to be kept low-key and only those who needed to know were to be told. When he arrived with his entourage of security and minders he took time for photographs to be taken by crew members who spotted him.
When I introduced Gaslight Anthem on stage I said that we were in for something special, not knowing but hoping Mr S would join them on stage. The roar that greeted his arrival on stage was amazing. As people began to recognise the man picking up a guitar, those who were sitting on the grass rose to their feet and bodies seemed to come rushing into the tent from all directions as word quickly spread. Bruce played guitar and sang along with Gaslight Anthem's "59 sound" and the crowd went wild.
After the performance Bruce took time for more photographs back stage and chatted with me about the band and the stage before returning to the monitor desk to catch a few songs from Passion Pit."
Jim Fox
"I was sorting my gear out in the camping/old cinema field near the John Peel stage. I was enjoying the sounds coming from the John Peel stage and then there was a sudden huge roar!! As the next song kicked in I thought to myself 'that singer doesn't half sound like Bruce Springsteen'! I even remarked this to my mate when he came back….the rest is history."
Ben Glass
Random performance artists/dressing up
"I came across this group of bowlers near the Blazing Saddle stage on Sunday. Despite the noise and mayhem they were bowling a ball through the muddy grass as if on the finest green." Nick P
"The tall dude with the huge pissing dog !!" from Steve Bent
"Basically, this guy wrapped two ropes around his arms which were attached to the winch cable of a crane. Then the crane lifted him up about 30-40 feet into the air and did a full 360 while he pirouetted about. Absolutely insane." From Robert Hurley
"I was quite impressed to see a group of colonial officers in full safari gear strolling through the market area, but was slightly concerned when they came face to face with a group of aristocratic nudes in white collar and tie but little else. No need to panic though. Apart from some rather alarming braying of greetings the two groups bonded beautifully. A real quality moment. Makes you proud to be British." Gill Baker
"These guys were legends, dancing through the crowd during Blur – in single file and in character. They came running past me during Coffee and TV, made it the perfect random glasto moment for me and everyone nearby. Super friendly too and having lots of photos taken, they definitely deserve a mention on the site." Kat
"Just three of a dedicated party of Rolfs coming to see Rolf. Real Rolf looked genuinely amazed." Richard Want
"Having arrived for our first Glastonbury two sights caught our eyes. Firstly my 5 year old daughter was delighted by the sight of two mounted police officers with fairy wings. However the sight of this group of dinner suited horses was slightly more sinister in the eyes of our 5 and 7 year olds – suffice to say no harm was done!" Peter F
"There was a great piece of street theatre which sprang up for a while (like they do!) in the Theatre Field on Saturday afternoon which I called "Grass works": the foreman told us they'd had reports that the grass wasn't laying in the right direction and so his men were investigating…" Terry

"We met these two police officers between the Other Stage and the Pyramid on Saturday evening. They were unbelievably friendly, gave us (free) hugs and let everyone pat there horses whilst wearing a tutu and fairy wings and a sheriff's hat. Now that's the Glastonbury spirit!" Cerri
"We spotted this guy who was managing to sing, play the piano, pedal like billio, and somehow steer himself in a (vaguely) straight line. Very impressive feat, and very funny to watch…" Matt
"A group of mates from The Trafalgar Hotel in Nelson Lancashire, planned these Rolf tribute outfits prior to the festival. We managed to get close to the front at The Jazz World Stage for Rolf Harris' performance and the steward on the stage steps spotted us. After absolutely creasing himself laughing, he told just about every one of the crew and the musicians as they came up the steps. Rolf was bowled over and gave us a big wave and a smile. Mission accomplished." Steve Burke
"A crowd of Oompa Loompas I met on the Sunday – they were walking down off the railway track towards the Other stage" John

Dead Weather at The Park
"Waiting for the "Special Guest" on Friday evening at the Park rumours were flying about Muse, Arctics and others. When the act did walk out most people (me included) looked around hoping that someone knew who was on stage. The sound that resonated from the stage was enormous and I should really have guessed but it wasn't until a flag moved from my view in front of the stage that Jack White's head popped up from the drum kit and all was clear. This barrage of sound was stunning and a real surprise." Simon Parks
Mick Jones doing Clash songs in Shangri-la
"We were wandering through Shangri-la on Saturday night (as one does!!!) when we notice a band playing in one of the tents. "That looks like Mick Jones from the Clash" I said to my mates Steve and Mick. "Well it would be – it said the Mick Jones Band on the chalkboard in front of the tent" said Steve. Yeah but we didn't realise it was THE Mick Jones did we!!!!! It was very hot and steamy in the tent and Mick and the band sent us on our way with Should I Stay Or Should I Go. It was a typical impromto moment that Glastonbury is renowned for." David Cant
"It was so rocking that it went on half an hour after the noise curfew. When the sound police showed up to turn it off they couldn't believe the PA was off, it was just the drummer, Mick and a tent full of people singing and bringing the house down. They just had to shrug their shoulders and walk out. Nice." Debs, Shangri-la
Jarvis with Shlomo on The Park
Picture sent by Simon
"The Shlomo gig was incredible. To be honest Jarvis was a great guest but the Vocal Orchestra themselves stole the show especially the sound clash with DJ Yoda. The beat-off with Marcus Brigstock was pure genius but it was their version of Teardrop that made it even more worthwhile being there." SImon Parks

What do you call a Scottish cow sitting down?
A Kneelin' Ox.
I saved my groans until the end as requested!"
Blur's Graham Coxon revealed as Status Quo fan
"I literally stood right next to him in the crowd. He stayed for their whole set " Simon Bull
Lou Brown goes from tipi to national radio
"I manage an unsigned singer-songwriter called Lou Brown. Lou was at the Festival to do a set on the Friday at the Avalon Cafe Stage. On Friday evening we had a text from BBC Radio 2 Johnnie Walker's wife saying that Johnnie was a fan and hadn't been able to make the gig, but would Lou be up for playing a set for him and some friends. So on Sat morning we headed up to the tipi fields, met up with everyone and Lou did a short set. What we hadn't expected was for JW to record it. Come early Monday morning, as we're starting to pack up, we start getting texts to say the JW is about to play one of Lou's songs on 'Wake Up to Wogan', the most-listened to radio show in the UK! Things have been a bit crazy since…" Dom Kippin

Will Young in the Guardian Lounge
"Although I knew Will Young was playing the Avalon tent at 6pm (saw him same place same time last year and he was most fun and fabulous).. it was double the pleasure to also catch him earlier in the day doing a most fabulous acoustic set in the Guardian Lounge! It's one of my most favourite places to chill at Glastonbury anyway, but I was most happy when John McClure announced after his set "And the next guest is – Will Young". Crikey I think some of the young girls almost screamed with excitement and it was a bit hot for that:-) Anyway he did a very different but great performance in the Guardian tent than he did in the Avalon, but boy can that boy hold a tune." Julie
Lily Allen and Jaime Winstone pop into the Vanity Van
"Was sat minding my own business on our reception desk at our stall in John Peel area when I looked up to see Lily Allen and Jamie Winstone stood in front of me with their entourage! They were very sweet and had some gorgeous eyelashes fitted, bought some glitters and fairy wings and Lily bought a Batman costume to go out in disguise in later on that night lol. We then proceded to play spot the Batman that night in Shangri-la and Trash city :-)" Alix
Jamie Cullum's impromptu trumpeter
"On that glorious Saturday I thankfully managed to squeeze in most of Jamie Cullum's set. After singing along to a few from the first album and a couple of others, it came to the end of his stint and he announced he would close with his cover of Radiohead's High and Dry, which the crowd seemed pretty pleased with! So off he went, tinkling his ivories, doing some sing-a-long crowd participation, and just as he was winding down with a piano solo, a trumpet player in the crowd started playing along. It was just one of those moments that sent everybody crazy. The whole band on stage were applauding and Jamie got up and got the trumpet man in a pink shirt to play while he free-styled, and you could just see the respect on everyone's faces. It was a truely special Glastonbury moment, I won't be forgetting it in a hurry thanks to the trupmet player in a pink shirt." Sarah Ellis

"Jamie Cullum's impromptu trumpeter is called Robbie Fraser. He could be found every night between midnight and sunrise in Shangri-la, entertaining people in The Peoples Front Room"
BIlly Bragg at Strummerville
"Billy Bragg then Emmy the Great at Strummerville on the Saturday night. Given the 'heads up' by the lovely woman selling Joe Strummer t-shirts earlier in the day, it was definitely worth missing the last half of Springsteen for…" Nat from Somerset
"Around 1am on Saturday. There was not a dry eye round the camp fire." J
Rooftop YMCA
"Can't remember if it was Friday or Saturday morning but we were treated to a rendition of YMCA by some 'workmen' (and one lady) up on the roof of a marquee." Maria Batson
Futureheads play Circus Field
"On Saturday 1700-1800ish The Futureheads played the Blazing Saddles stage in the circus field, we were watching 'Get Up Stand Up' (a comedy group) and they came on unannounced in between comedians and played for about 30 mins. There was only about there 100 people there who caught the set which made it quite special, it was one of my highlights of the weekend!" Sean Barron
The mysterious Mudwig
"You have lots of Banksy graffiti, but what about 'Müdwig'? We saw numerous references this elusive figure painted all around the site, from Jazzworld, to the Acoustic field and the Caberet area. But who exactly is Müdwig? Not even the good folk at the Info-Points could tell us…" Neale Hitchiner
Dans Le Sac and Scroobius Pip in the Igloo
"My and my mates were walking round Shangri-la on saturday afternoon as there was nothing else really on…we stumbled into the 'igloo' bar, only to find Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip playing to about 15 other people. The atmosphere in there was amazing, really electric (and also really sweaty as it was super super tiny). Definitely our one amazing find of the weekend." Dave
Proposal during Magic Numbers' set
"I loved it when a guy got up on stage with the Magic Numbers at The Queens Head, looked for his girlfriend in the audience and said "Tamsin,I love you,I want to spend my life with you,will you marry me??!!!!!!!!!! " Everyone in the tent including the Magic Numbers was cheering and clapping, Big old romantic softie!!!!!!" Sue
