Chicago Nutrition & Exercise Science Graduate Schools
Nutrition graduate schools may offer programs at the masters and doctoral levels to build on existing experience and help students enhance their overall nutrition expertise. Students could work toward full degrees or enroll in shorter graduate certificate programs. Exercise science graduate schools similarly aim to prepare students to help people get and stay healthy, but do so via the study of physical activity and how it impacts the body.
Why Earn Your Exercise Science or Nutrition Degree On Campus?
Studying in nutrition graduate schools may have a few distinct advantages. For one, you'd have access to the resources and facilities of your nutrition department. That could mean practicing on technology you might use in the field, performing research in lab spaces, and more. Plus, your program may have relationships with potential employers in the area, which could be helpful if you need to gain experience through an internship, clinical experience, or even to observe.
Exercise science graduate students may also benefit from campus resources. For example, you might pursue guided practice, using what you learn in the classroom at exercise facilities on campus. You could also practice in simulated clinical spaces similar to what some professionals might use. All while building important relationships which could persist well into your professional life.
Resources and facilities at exercise science and nutrition graduate schools vary. Contact admission advisors to learn about opportunities at each individual program.
Types of Programs Offered in Nutrition Graduate Schools
Nutrition and exercise science graduate schools may offer programs appealing to students at many different levels of experience. Whether you already work in your field or are moving into nutrition or exercise science from an unrelated profession, you may find a graduate school
program that supports you. In most cases, students at the graduate level might enroll in one of three program types.
- Masters in Nutrition and Exercise Science Schools may be designed either for experienced nutrition or exercise science professionals interested in enhancing their careers, or for students who are, for the most part, new to the field. As such, the curriculum in both cases could vary widely between programs to accommodate different types of students. However, most programs are practical in nature and focus on preparing students to pursue positions in the field.
- Doctorate in Nutrition and Exercise Science Schools are typically designed to accommodate students with professional and academic experience relevant to the program topic. As such, most students are required to hold a related master's degree, and may additionally have professional credentials and experience. Often, doctoral programs are research-oriented, focusing on expanding the body of knowledge surrounding nutrition and physical fitness. However some practice-based doctoral programs may help students hone administrative and organizational skills to prepare to pursue leadership roles within nutrition and exercise science-related organizations or public programs.
- Graduate Certificate in Nutrition and Exercise Science Schools provide shorter, more focused paths of study for students who wish to advance their knowledge without committing to a full degree. Graduate certificates may focus on a variety of specialized topics within nutrition or exercise science, and could be offered at the masters or post-masters level.
Dietetics & Nutrition Programs
Nutrition and dietetics graduate schools focus on the relationship between what people eat and how it impacts their health. However, individual programs could approach the topic in several ways. Consider these different approaches when deciding between nutrition graduate schools.
- Clinical Nutrition oriented programs focus predominantly on the role of nutrition within healthcare. Programs touch on nutrition-related diseases and disorders, as well as how nutrition could be used as a tool within an overall treatment plan. Classes might also explore the impact different health conditions could have on a person's nutritional intake and overall needs.
- Public health oriented nutrition graduate schools center on the health of the community as a whole. In addition to studying how nutrition (and the lack thereof) impacts individuals, public health related programs may discuss the accessibility of food and nutrition education in different communities, and the benefits and challenges of public nutrition initiatives.
- Management dietetics programs generally discuss the challenges, and concerns of facilitating nutrition programs within a certain organization. This could be in a hospital or long term care facility, a residential facility, a school, or elsewhere. As such, management dietetics programs may unite nutrition with business and organizational topics. i
Some schools offer nutrition programs under the title "Dietetics." Sometimes this is just another name for the same program, with no major difference in program content. However, some states may have rules surrounding who can use the title of dietitian. Often, this requires earning a certain professional credential. As such, some programs in those states may either be designed to help students work toward earning the necessary credentials, or ask that students are already credentialed as a prerequisite to attend. Because the specifics could vary by location, if you have any questions about this, follow up with the nutrition graduate schools you're looking at.
Exercise Science Graduate Schools
Exercise science graduate schools support students as they build expertise not just in exercise itself, but how it impacts people of all shapes, sizes and experience levels. Exercise science combines the study of anatomy and human movement with the study of physical fitness. Programs may touch on injury identification and prevention, and discuss how exercise could impact a person's general health, metabolism, and physical ability. As with nutrition, exercise science schools could take a few different approaches to the material.
- Clinical exercise science programs generally center on the role of exercise science principles and practice in healthcare settings, and how exercise science could contribute to managing a patient's health or treating an injury or other condition.
- Community-focused exercise science schools emphasize health and fitness on a wider level. In addition to general exercise science expertise, programs might touch on the organizational and public policy skills and knowledge potentially necessary to facilitate community-wide fitness programs.
- Performance-focused exercise science schools are dedicated to teaching how to help people increase their overall physical ability. Classes might discuss how to work with athletes and other experienced clients, or how best to help people get started on fitness plans with no experience whatsoever.
- Exercise science programs centered on research might spend time familiarizing students with the existing body of knowledge in the discipline, as well as current best practices for safe and productive research, various methodologies and more.
These and other exercise science programs may vary on an individual basis, and may not always align with the descriptions above. As such, if you have questions or if you're looking for something in particular, make sure you get in touch with the school you're considering.
Food Science Graduate Schools
Students more interested in learning about food and how it's made and distributed might be interested in food science graduate schools. Programs at these schools use scientific methodology to learn more about foods' make-up and how to improve the processes surrounding its development. You might study food safety, food packaging engineering, beverage science, flavor chemistry, and more.

University of Northern Colorado President Kay Norton has sent a campus-wide email condemning racist attacks on Mexican-American studies protesters.
The attacks are said to have happened April 10, the same day UNC students and administrators took part in a public forum regarding the suspension of the Mexican-American studies program.
The Greeley Tribune reports UNC students critical of the university's decision to suspend the Mexican-American studies program had objects thrown at them and were subjected to racist and demeaning diatribes.
School officials say the college major was suspended because of low enrollment.
No doubt it occurring to students that a degree in Mexican-American Studies is an expensive ticket to nowhere.

Sourdough Boule
Hi fellow dabblers...sorry to have left you hanging for a little bit. Today, I wanted to share a new hobby I have picked up...making sourdough bread. Sourdough bread is one of my all-time favorite things. Tangy, soft, chewy, crispy crust....serve it savory, sweet or plain...I love sourdough.
A few months ago I was reading a bread feature in a magazine, and got inspired to start making more bread at home. I always get disheartened when I go down the bread aisle at the grocery store, or look at the labels in the bakery. They too often contain unnecessary or unidentifiable ingredients. I have gotten into being in control of the ingredients I use and how they are handled...plus, the smell of sourdough bread baking in the oven is intoxicating, and well worth the work to make your own.
So...after some research, I purchased a sourdough starter from King Arthur Flour. I also purchased the ceramic crock pictured below to keep my starter in.
I've become rather fond of my starter, it's a bit like having a pet...albeit a low maintenance one. You have to feed your starter once a week to keep it alive, and watching it grow is like a fun science experiment. I'm hooked on sourdough making, and perhaps you will be too.
Here is the recipe I have been using:
Tangy Sourdough Bread
-1 c fed sourdough starter
-1 1/2 c warm water
-2 tsp sea salt
-1 tbsp sugar
-5 c unbleached all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur brand)
1. Pour the cup of fed starter into a large bowl. Add 3 cups of flour and the warm water to the starter. Beat the starter, flour and water together vigorously.
2. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, let rest at room temperature for 4 hours. After 4 hours, refrigerate the dough overnight (12 hours).
3. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and add the remaining flour, salt and sugar. Knead the dough to form a smooth dough.
4. Cover dough with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, allow it to rise for another 5 hours until it is puffy and has large air bubbles.
5. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape into two round loaves. Place on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap and kitchen towel. Allow dough to rise for another 3 hours.
6. Preheat oven to 425°F.
7. Using a sharp knife, slash loaves on top. Using damp hands, lightly moisten dough.
8. Bake until loaves have a golden brown crust, about 30 minutes.
9. Cool bread on racks.
10. Enjoy :)
Pictures and Tips:
Step 1: This picture should explain the science-experiment feel to this whole process. Sourdough gets its great tang from fermentation... your starter is alive. "Fed starter" means ready to use. If your starter has been in the refrigerator, you should take it out 4 hours prior to starting this recipe. Feed it with 1 c of flour and 1/2 c warm water. Then let it sit on the counter, the starter is ready to use when bubbles have formed on the top. It will look like this:
Beat the starter, water and 3 cups of flour together vigorously...think of what it looks like when the metal hook of your bread machine is doing the kneading work for you. You need to create that effect. This dough has a wet consistency, and is very sticky...so get out those arm muscles and take out some frustration. Mine looks like this:
Step 2. After the dough has rested for 4 hours, you should see bubbles forming on its surface. This usually makes me want to go..."it's alive!" in a creepy Frankenstein, horror-film voice....the joy of baking in your own kitchen, right?
Place the dough back into the refrigerator to rise overnight. Keeping the dough cool slows down the rising process. This allows for a prolonged fermentation...which is where all that delicious flavor comes from.
Step 3. Add the remaining ingredients and knead until smooth.
Step 4. Allow the dough to rise again. This time it will gain quite a bit of volume and will be very puffy with large air bubbles:
Step 5. Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape into round loaves. The best way to do this is to tuck the dough into itself using your hands. Place the loaves on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7. Rub the loaves down with water before they go into the oven. The moisture on the outside helps create a crispy crust. I love the texture contrast this creates...crunchy crust and soft, chewy interior. Slash the loaves using a sharp knife, make whatever design you like.
Steps 8 and 9. Bake the loaves until they are golden brown. Cool on an oven rack. If you leave the loaves on the baking sheet the bottom of the bread will not be able to ventilate and moisture will condense there...ruining the crispy crust.
Step 10. Enjoy! The best step...my favorite way as of late is to dip the sourdough in a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese, black pepper and sea salt.
I also love it with butter and honey. You really can't lose. Whatever type of bread you choose, give making bread at home a go. Your kitchen will be filled with the intoxicatingly fantastic smell of fresh baked bread and your taste buds will love you.
Have fun. Thanks for visiting.
-The Delicious Dabbler
ps. I just returned home from a trip to Paris, France. Next post will detail all of the delicous dabblings I partook in there....think bread, butter and pastries :)

A 2013 study by Child Care Aware® America says that childcare costs more than in-state tuition does in 31 states in the nation, including Missouri.
The Child Care Aware® study isn't the first to try to provide insights into the complex financial equation of daycare expenses, college tuition, and income from one or both parents. Should both parents work outside the home or should one parent stay home full time? Does a stay-at-home-job make sense for one parent? Is part-time employment possible? If it is, does it pay enough to balance the cost of childcare during the hours when both parents work? And what about single-parent families: What's the best way for a single mom or dad to provide for kids?
Families face innumerable considerations when making childcare, employment, and college savings decisions. Likewise, there are a number of variables at play when comparing a state's college and childcare costs against those in other states: Some states offer heavier subsidies for in-state college tuition than other states do. Cost of living also varies from one state (and region of that state) to another, and daycare costs can differ dramatically depending on the amount and quality of care a child receives.
Childcare is a significant investment for your family — In Missouri the bottom line is that childcare costs about $400 a year more than in-state tuition does. As a result, the decisions you make now about child care are just as important, financially speaking, as those you'll make later about college.
Make sure your child is getting the most out of day care by thoroughly researching the options in your community. Look for providers who have education or certifications in early childhood education or child development, and don't forget that summer day camps and summer school programs can be a great way to keep older kids learning, even when they're not in school.

Few performers command the same praise and respect as Elenan Kir. In a city full of the most creative minds of Terra, Elenan stands as the pinnacle of expression. What few know if that the master musician is deaf; fewer still, prophetic. On what she sees on the eve of her death is a choice one should never have to make. Even as a part of her heart dies she chooses stagnation over destruction.
Within the Dusty Cloak Inn, an establishment for wanders, travelers and adventurers, she chooses three to stand with her and herald in a new age.
Their efforts take them to the Spirit Whisper, the greatest stage of Fae Kemen, where they search for the mastermind of the efforts of the Chelikt Empire. What they discover leads them to Kiarz Gecht and an abandoned warehouse he bought up only recently.
There they find a secret excavation leading into the depths of the city and the Breath of Fae Kemen, an ancient temple and resting ground of the couatl. With such a power under the control of the invaders the people of Tol Ar would be hard pressed to repel Chelikt.
Delving into the ancient temple the intrepid adventurers confront and defeat Kiarz before releasing the couatl from their slumber, but not before Elenan is slain. As she lay dying she spoke one final prophecy, one recorded and passed on in the legends of this day…
"The weight of my choice will carry me beyond this world and into the next. But even as I pass on Terra herself will carry a similar weight for untold centuries. I can no longer shed tears for the fate I have condemned this world to, but know that the rise of the third child will bring release from the shackles I have bound us with."

Riton0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on Monday, July 31, 2006 at 5:18 AM.
There's always a lot of confusion/debate into how "Riton" is pronounced. For years, I spent my time pronouncing him "right-on" before someone at Grand Central advised me it was pronouced "writ-on". Conducting a Google search today, I've actually found that the definitive way of saying his name is "wree-ton", which is apparently a French slang term for his first name, Henry. Glad that's cleared up anyway.
Former Fat City Records worker Riton came to the surface in 2001 with his album "Beats Du Jour". Fitting in nicely with the Manchester Hip Hop scene led by the likes of Rae and Christian and Aim, Riton's output consisted of chunky beats and interesting samples. This carried on until 2004, when his last studio album, Homies and Homos, was released, again following the beats template. Something then changed. Remixes started cropping up, for unlikely and high profile clients like Kylie, Annie and Scissor Sisters. Further listening led to one conclusion: Riton had gone electro, and in a major fucking way. A Recent remix of Mystery Jets has proven to be a dancefloor success, while he's recently remixed Robbie Williams' newie, Rudebox. He's also one half of the DJ/Production combo, Gucci Soundsystem, so go check them out when they're playing near you.

Bethanne over at Clever Titles is taking part in Blogathon 2006. It's a sponsored event for charity whereby every participating blog must post 2 articles every hour for 24 hours. Now, in Bethannes case (like my own), when you write your blog on your own this could be quite a challenge. So there's nothing else to do but rope your blogging buddies from all over the world to help you achieve the goal! My shift will run for an hour from 7am EST/1pm BST. I'm not sure what I'll write about, but I've got a couple of days to think it over.
Also, for you Manchester readers, please go over to the Yankunians blog The Manchizzle and check out her views on our fair city. She's spent a considerable amount of time compiling Manchesters best Blogroll, so get yourselves over there and show the girl some love!
MP3 Cold War Kids - Hang Me Out to Dry
Dirty Blue Jeans0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 7:51 AM.
Liam Frost played a homecoming gig at Academy 2 at the end of May. It was quite a major affair, considering it was the last date of a UK tour to promote his new single Mourners of Saint Pauls. Bone-Box provided great support, along with Londoner Jeremy Warmsley, who took to the stage armed only with an electric guitar. Live, he looked like a stripped down and slight dishevelled Graham Coxon playing Brendan Benson covers. Not that it's a bad thing of course, considering how melodic the tunes actually were. He's got an album out in September on Transgressive (home to BCG favourites Polytechnic) so make sure to check it out.

Take 2 Many DJ's, multiply them by Hollertronix and then square this all by the root of the Avalanches, then you'd end up with Girl Talks latest, Night Rippers. Basically, it's a mix comp done in the vein of 2 Many DJ's, in the sense of throwing rock, hip hop and electro together. The style is maybe similar to the Avalanches, had they more balls and used obvious samples more. Try and get hold of a copy if your local record shop stocks it, because seeing as none of the samples have been cleared it'll probably be withdrawn from sale quite quickly. I'll probably be talking about this at the end of the year too.

Restructuring.0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 5:45 AM.
I had a minor crisis the other day. Basically, I ran out of hard disk space on my laptop, and very nearly did on my external hard-drive. This meant one thing: It was time to get rid of some MP3's. I decided to conduct an audit, which meant looking through the collection I'd amassed over time, and deleting what I didn't want any more.
I found loads of stuff I'd forgotten I had. Like Girls Vs. Boys for instance: This was a band I rather liked when I was at school, so for prosterity reasons I ripped their album House of GVSB onto my laptop. I gave it a good listen the other night, and it's fucking ace. It's the sort of rock that was ahead of it's time 10 years ago, but could stand up well today. I think they're still going, though I'm not sure what they sound like now.
And the state of my hard-drive now? Well, lets say that I'm about 20gb lighter. Crisis averted.

At some point I'll get around to rounding up what's been great about 2006 so far. Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power) started my year in the right way - The Greatest is still one of my top 5 albums so far. Lets see if it can still be there by the time 2007 turns over. This track is cool - it seems to be slightly more "up" than some of the other songs on the album. And while it could never eclipse the Greatest, it's still quite charming in a Pogues-ish way. Enjoy.

Merlin the Magician?0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 4:11 AM.
I know this isn't a footy blog - it's a music blog - but like the World Cup something has happened in the football world recently that I need to comment on. My hometown club, the mighty Wolverhampton Wanderers, have finally taken on a new manager to replace Glenn Hoddle. I wasn't sad to see Hoddle go, he'd done nothing for the club, though I was worried about the big name who would come to replace him. So yesterday, Mick McCarthy was presented to the press as the new Wolves manager. Luckily, I've always had a medicum of respect for McCarthy, as he's a manager who can turn teams around with the minimum of resorces. OK, Sunderland fired him, but still I think he can do enough to help push us back towards the Premier League.

Moving Shadows.0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on Monday, July 24, 2006 at 6:35 AM.
You might remember a few months ago a new DJ Shadow track called 3 Freaks dropped. I'm a massive old school Shadow fan, so naturally I was a bit worried about the change in direction. Interviews with him at the time seemed to comment on how there are no samples on the new album, and how it follows a more modern R&B blueprint. "Shit, that means crunk" was my initial reaction, and while 3 Freaks is quite, err, crunky, the latest tidbit from the album is a good distance away from that formula. Enuff is a storming party track featuring Q-Tip and Lateef, which doesn't drift back into familiar territory yet builds on Shadows new sampleless production without going into scary pop. Could it be he's looking to move into the Pharrell shaped production hole in hip-hop? Not sure, but this sounds like he could make the transition. I like it, a lot.

The Weekend0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 3:05 AM.
I've had a really busy weekend. What with it being Futuresonic, I've spent a lot of my time running round checking out various DJ's, acts and art installations. It's all been rather good fun. Friday night was spent watching the awesome Battles at Academy 2, followed by Shy Child at the Bierkeller. Shy Child were amazing: It's so good to see a so called disco-punk band using a drummer properly and without the need of overly fancy electronics.
Last night was spent catching Islands at the Roadhouse. They were freekin' brilliant guys, and not quite what I expected in person. They played straight versions of the album, with a shimmering full length Swans to close. Ace.

Doing it for themselves.0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 2:35 AM.
There's a new Scissor Sisters track floating about kids. Like the Killers, this is the sound of another band from 2004 returning, and really it doesn't sound like they've worked on furthering their sound at all. It's high camp, as would expect, but it's really not very good, sounding like a pastiche of 70's disco experts ELO. There's even a bit of Bee Gees in there. It might grow on me, but I'm not too keen on this first listen.

OK, the last post has made me feel a bit guilty, as I never got around to finishing my T in the Park roundup. The problem is I'm still going through the pictures I took therefore it's taking longer than I'd planned. So, in the next couple of weeks as I find suitable images, I'll load them up with a quick anecdote and some music. Fair enough?
Which leads me onto the Animal Collective. I know they were the darlings of the blogging community a few months ago, however on this showing I struggle to see what all the fuss was about. We saw them at Midday on the Sunday in the aptly named Pet Sounds tent and they were the most boring band of the weekend. I don't mean BAD when I say this, maybe just a little too experimental for that time of the day.

Cheryl Tweedy2 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 12:34 AM.
When I first read that Lily Allen had recorded a track called Cheryl Tweedy, I thought it might be the beginning of a big pop war. In any case, the tune isn't a diss, and you could actually say that Mrs Cole should be quite flattered. It mystifies me how this didn't get onto her album as it's a stand out track. Sample clearance?
I know the above picture isn't brilliant - it was all I managed to grab of her at T. And yes, I wouldn't mind grabbing a bit more of Lily Allen. Make of that what you will.

I really have been blogging a lot today - I hope you can all keep up. A few weeks ago I came across a band called Arms on I Guess I'm Floating. I thought they were good, but due to me being drunk I couldn't quite remember whether I liked them or not. Well here's some good news: I do think they're cool. And even better: They've got a song which features my forename as the first lyric. I'm touched, even though it wasn't written about me, as the only other song which comes to mind featuring the name "Jonathan" was Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Neil Diamond. In fact, I think I was named after that song. How fucking rock n'roll is that?

Has anyone noticed a change over at Pitchfork recently? Aside from being probably the worlds first music blog in terms of coverage and approach, the site seems to have taken a leaf from blogs like BCG by including as much media as possible! It looks great actually, and today they've really pushed the boat out by uploading a wicked cover by the Futureheads and a storming live track from Manchester favourites the Longcut.

OK, this is a shameless piece of self promotion, so you've been warned. Some of you may know that I run the Manchester leg of a really cool event called noWax. It's a simple concept: Take a ticket, wait your turn, and when your number comes up on the projector, it's time to come and play the 3 favourite songs on your MP3 player against another budding MP3J.
I'm running it as part of the Futuresonic festival which is a weekend devoted to electronic music and culture. There's also events running from Licktronica, Tramp and Real Fresh TV. noWax will be running from 6pm on Saturday at Vox Pop Music on Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter, so try and pop down if you can.

Today is post-punk Thursday. I've not only managed to listen to New York Noise 2 (an ace post-punk comp from Soul Jazz) but I've also hoovered up the ESG album Keep on Moving and Fujiya and Miyagis Transparent Things. ESG are a mother/daughter combo from the late 70's who've released a new album of post punk goodness, while F&M I know nothing about except they're headlining the Tramp stage at D:Percussion. Check them out anyway.

On Sunday I had the privilege of DJing for Pasta Paul at Quiet Night Out. QNO is a night that Paul has been running for a couple of years, and he decided to do a special one for this years SWAP festival. Alongside a roster of Manchesters best acoustic artists, there was also a collection of DJ's, featuring Licktronica, Dunk Le Chunk, Coops and me.
I've known Mike (aka Keswicklemon) from Licktronica for a while. He plays really great electronica and he really knows his stuff: He's the kind of person that you always learn something from whenever you speak to them. Anyway, he started playing a song, and it was in the back of my head as to what it was. I walked over and asked, and he replyed "Beirut". Alarm bells went off - "of COURSE!!" - but then I noticed he was pulling a face. It's going off in that part of the world again, so I think it was his way of paying tribute.

D:Percussion Build Up: The Pipettes0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at 3:25 PM.
My last attempt at a theme fell by the wayside rather quickly. I had far more pictures and stories to share with you, but I simply didn't have time to complete what I'd started. Onto the next anyway, as with D:Percussion being only weeks away, I thought I'd do some quick roundups so that you Mancunians know what to expect, and everyone else can just be jealous of. Which brings me nicely onto the Pipettes. They've hardly played Manc really, yet I saw them at the Late Room last week and they follow that with an appearance at the festival. And with the whole event costing the princely sum of two pounds to get in, all the bands should help to make the expenditure worthwhile. The Pipettes will be on the main stage so look out for them.

Dirty Babe0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 11:02 AM.
Yes yes yes ladies and gents, it's another excursion into my affection for decent pop music. Trousersnake pretty much soundtracked my move from London to Manchester - every club we went in he was on, and every time I turned the radio on Rock your Body was there to greet me. So yeah, I'm kinda looking forward to his return in a guilty sort of way. I am a bit worried though: The Neptunes aren't involved at all, and comeback song SexyBack has a vocal line so distorted you can't actually make out who's involved, whether it be JT or not. Still, there's enough there not to put me off the album.

Gotta be quick, I'm off to the D:Percussion 2006 launch tonight. For those of you who don't know, D:Percussion is a free festival which is now in it's tenth year. It first started out as a "fuck you" to the IRA in response to their bombing of Manchester. Each year the event has gone from strength to strength, and has still managed to go ahead in 2006 despite a main sponsor (cough... Key 103) pulling out. Now there's resilience for you. Acts scheduled to appear include the Longcut, Aim, the Pipettes and David Holmes, though with the full line up released tonight I'll be able to let you know more tomorrow.

Like all other blog owners or web masters out there who have their personal email address' out in the general domain, I really do get quite a quantity of spam. Whether it's for breast augmentation, penis enlarging, college degrees or rich Nigerian oil workers, the spam shows no sign of abating - lets hope Gmail can keep up with updating their spam filters. My favourite spam however are those silly emails supposedly from "security" at "x.com" casually informing you that your account has been deleted/suspended in the vain hope of getting you to open the email, which helpfully will contain a malicious virus or trojan. Two things though suckers: 1) I'm a Mac user, so you can throw all the Trojans in the world at me, and it won't effect a damn thing. 2) I'm very happy with the size of my penis, therefore I won't be requiring a pump anytime soon.

The Revenge of 20040 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 9:27 AM.
This years comeback of many of 2004's most popular bands has continued in earnest with the emergence of a new Killers song. With what seems to be a deliberate release to bloggers, you might note Flowers' destinct lack of eyeliner and emergence of stubble in their recent NME shoot. In any case, the physical transformation doesn't seem to have dramatically effected their sound - When You Were Young sounds a bit like Meatloaf.

I know I know I know, I never finished off the T series/review thing. I'm sorry but I've just been a bit busy. Things are calming down now, so hopefully I'll be able to throw myself back into this blogging thing once more.
When I went to the kitchen earlier for a brew, I found a CD one of my housemates had left in there. It's this months HMV Playlist collection, whereby HMV collect about 20 of the months best album tracks and flog the CD for free. Like most freebies, they can sometimes be a it rubbish, though I was most pleased to find both Jim Noir and the Longcut featuring. There's some other good stuff on it as well, so here's some tracks off it for you - seeing as they give the CD away for free, I'm sure they won't mind me distributing it further would they?

T in the Park: Giant Drag0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 at 5:47 AM.
This is my last Giant Drag post ever. As some of you regular readers will know, Giant Drag have turned in one of my favourite albums of the year. I love the fact it's so deep in grunge that it takes me back to my teenage years. I also love the fact that Annie is one of the kookiest chicks in music at the moment. I went to see them at T following their disappointing gig at Night and Day in April. There's something about them live that doesn't work for me, though I can't put my finger on it. They also need to look at some of the fans they attract: Beered up, leary knuckleheads might be the closest way of describing them. It's not all negative though, I enjoyed seeing them, but they just weren't my band of the weekend. My Dick Sux fucking rocks live though, I can tell thee that much.
I'm not going to post any tracks, because I've done enough on these guys already. If you want to hear some of their tunes, either head over to:

T in the Park: Don't Give Up the Day Job1 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 4:34 AM.
Superdrug were out in force at T. They had set up a tent and small stage, where girls could go along, get their makeup done and maybe have a go at "hairbrush" kareoke. I'd seen various chavs up there throughout the day, rupturing the eardrums with heartfelt renditions of ballads by the Pussycat Dolls, however I was most surprised to see the gentleman pictured above, giving his all singing "Like a Virgin". His mates were there cheering him along, and it was genuinely one of the weekends funniest moments. I then spotted the same person in the media area the following day, so at a guess I'd say he was someone reasonably important. Fucking genius.

T in the Park: Silent Disco0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 4:18 AM.
A few years ago I went to the album launch for Aphex Twins album Drukqs at the Barbican. On arrival, we were presented with wireless headphones which were to be worn as this was the only way playback of the album could be heard. Last year I read about a similar concept called Silent Disco which was at Glastonbury. In a similar way, punters wear headphones and dance to the music only they can hear. It was my first time seeing it in action last weekend, and it was a rather strange thing to see: About 150 people, dancing around in total silence, to suddenly all put their hands in the air and start singing "I Predict a Riot"!! I didn't get chance to have a go myself, but I'm sure the opportunity will come up again soon. Silent wanking anybody?

T in the Park: The Divine Comedy0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 3:58 AM.
I've never been much of a fan of the Divine Comedy. In fact, I really hated them in my teens. Their brand of kitsch indie pop just used to wind me - the curse of being a Pantera fan I suppose. I like to think I've mellowed a bit since then, and with the Kooks being the only other option on offer, I decided to pop along and see if I can forgive Neil Hannon after all this time. Once on stage, the band performed a greatest hits set, featuring the likes of Generation Sex, National Express and Something for the Weekend. My highlight was a rather funny rendition of Maneater by Nelly Furtado, which cast the original in a new light. I might have to pop out later and redeem myself for the last decade of ignorance: The Divine Comedy are quality.

T in the Park: Cut Copy0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 3:38 AM.
My first band of the festival was supposed to be the mighty Wolfmother, who I was fortunate to catch in the smallness of the Roadhouse earlier this year. I arrived to see the band, who were playing the NME/Radio 1 stage, only to find that I was stuck miles away from the stage. It then started to rain. "Fuck this for a game of soldiers" was my immediate thought, so I went off to catch fellow Aussies Cut Copy in the Slam tent. Even though they were low down the bill, their stage set up was the most impressive of the weekend, with 3 massive screens projecting footage of them live on stage and various other VJ elements. The tunes were quality too, and put everyone who was there in an upbeat mood for the rest of the weekend.

Before I start work in earnest on my T in the Park round up, I thought I'd point you in the direction of quite a lovely new band who I've discovered this morning while perusing local gig line ups.

This weekend was hard work. I've got sore legs, a sore back and I'm bloody knackered. If you've not read previous posts, yes, I went to a festival - T in the Park to be exact. Don't let my opening statement fool you however, I did have a great time! I saw loads of bands, and took loads of pictures which I'll be entertaining you all with over the next week.

It's late, and I'm sick of packing. Tomorrow will be the first time this decade that I've attended a festival, and boy does it bring back memories of staying up until 3am packing all those little things I think I can't do without for a festival. Priorities have changed somewhat since I was 19, meaning what I took then isn't necessarily what I'd take now. For instance, I remember the pain it was not having any bogroll at Reading, and I'm kinda going to miss being able to have a hot shower for a few days. Still, it's going to be a top laugh, and I get to see some bands and acts I simply haven't been able to see before.
Yousendit is being rather rubbish this evening, so I'm not able to post up any music. Instead, enlighten yourselves with my fellow bloggers and have a read of what they've got to say, and you can also enjoy some choice music too.
If by some freak occurance I gain access to the internet while at T, I'll write y'all a post. If by an even freakier twist of fate I can connect my camera to said internet, I'll post up some pictures of the festival too. In the event that neither happens you'll simply have to wait for my musings until Monday, whereby I'll enchant you all with tales of sex, drugs, rock and roll and other debaunched things that happen in a festival field.

"New Rave"0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on Tuesday, July 04, 2006 at 11:54 AM.
If it wasn't enough for the NME to pat themselves on the back for:
1) Growing the Libertines in a test tube and selling them to the world as the one true poetic voice of indie,
2) Creating the word "emo" thus inspiring an army of angst driven American teenagers and 20 somethings from Wales,
3) Convincing everyone that it's actually cool to re-release your first single 4 times, thusly encouraging a whole world of other 2 bit indie bands to do the same,
They've now gone and labelled a music scene I rather enjoy "New Rave". Yes, don't choke on your cornflakes, you are reading this correctly. Glorious electro stompers by the likes of the Presets, Justice, Erol "fookin" Alkan and the Klaxons are no longer merely crossover bangers, but they (and the dj's that play them, like me) are now labelled with this tag. When clubs start proclaiming this form of music as their policy I'll know it's time to truly start acting my age and take up golf.

Sounds like a Number One to Me.0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 11:34 AM.
It's true. Aguileras new single is the absolute bomb. If it wasn't enough with Furtado having Timberland backing her up on her recent best seller, Christina had to go one better by roping in hip hop legend DJ Premier to produce hers. And boy, is it finger licking good. You can imagine ladies up and down the country readying themselves up for Saturday night with it, then hitting the floor to shake to it. I guess that was the good thing about people "stealing" music with P2P and the like: It meant the record companies had to sit up, and do something more interesting with popular music. And boy, they're giving it some welly this time.

Working for a Nuclear Free City0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on at 2:50 AM.
The other day a friend told me that the new Working For A Nuclear Free City album is awesome. I didn't know quite how to take this, considering progtronica isn't really this persons usual bag. Anyway, hear I am now sat here listening to their self titled debut, and I must say that it's absolutely on the money. I saw WFANFC live last week for the first time in about 12 months, and it was great to see how much they've come on as a band, and the album certainly proves that.
I'm not cleared to leak a track just yet, and I certainly don't want to get anyone into trouble, so head over to their MySpazz for a listen. Make sure you check out Dead Fingers Talking - it's the sort of song Ian Brown would love to be capable of.
Houston.0 Comments Published by jonthebeef on Monday, July 03, 2006 at 3:11 PM.
So, the year is now half way through, and plenty of brand spanking new stuff has caught my ear. I must say that 2006 so far has been a wonderful year for music, whatever your taste may be. To me, the year is lacking that killer hip-hop release, with the closest to urban being Lily Allen who also crosses successfully over into indie, pop and ska. I'm hoping that Madvillain pull their fingers out and get something out before 2007, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
Great releases from Phoenix, Tapes N Tapes, The Longcut and Be Your Own PET sit amongst some of my favourites of the year, but it's Islands charming debut Return to Sea that tips the balance against everyone else. It's lush, comprising the finest bits from many of my favourite artists and bands, creating a rather grand soundscape which is as likely to drift into lo-fi acoustica as it is Outkast inspired hip-hop. Quite ingenius, and I'm rather looking forward to seeing them at the Roadhouse later this month.

I posted the other day about Shakiras debatable subject matter in her recent single. I now find the Columbian weirdo has managed to get herself to the top of the UK charts ahead of another popular strange bird, ol' Nelly Retardo. Now, I've no problems with chicks doing the 7 day thing once a month, but does Shaikra really need to preach it's worth to the general populace? At the end of the day, the number one record is announced around 7pm, which is the roughly the time of day your average family sits down to Sunday tea. "Ooh I'm on tonight, My hips don't lie, Yadda Yadda Yadda". I take it that means I'm not getting laid. Oh well.

I've got over our loss to Portugal yesterday. It didn't take long, and it didn't take any self medicating either, because we haven't played well all tournament, and yesterday we got our come-uppance.
I know the usual English footballing way is to find someone to blame. This time, there are no excuses. Sven lost the plot, he had a great chance to fulfil his initial promise in 2000 that we were capable of winning the World Cup this year. We haven't though, due to an inept squad selection (which smacked of a De-mobbed former employee) and a seeming lack of motivation running through the entire squad.
Paul Robinson - World Class? Has plenty more to prove that he doesn't just flap when in the spotlight.
Rio Ferdinand - Arguably one of the worlds finest centre halves, but also one of the laziest.
John Terry - Always there, yet has less pace than a stoned tortoise.
Ashley Cole - A shining light in the team, played with the heart and optimism you'd expect from an England player.
David Beckham - Why does he even bother. He can't run, and gets the jitters so badly in big games he throws up everywhere.
Steven Gerrard - Had the opportunity to show the world he's a great midfielder. Didn't really do it though.
Frank Lampard - Fat jibes aside, he's always worth a bet as first England scorer. That's why I'm 20 quid down so far this tournament.
Owen Hargreaves - Like most people, I've given him loads of stick over the years. He's played brilliantly over the World Cup, and with performances like that it's probably time we give him the respect he deserves.
Joe Cole - Moments of individual brilliance are always squandered by a selfish attempt on goal.
Michael Owen - Getting injured saved him face, as there wasn't much chance of him scoring anyway.
Peter Crouch - Nice try, but he'll never have that quality which puts him in the English elite. Played to the best of his ability though.
Theo Walcott - I've never played in the Premiership either.
Wayne Rooney - He was always an unknown quantity for the tournament. Came back from injury well - shame about the bloody stupid sending off.
Sven Goran-Eriksson - Punched his fist more than I've seen before, though with his tie done up so tight, the heat obviously went to his head.
I'm not trying to hold anyone accountable, but if Ronaldo isn't going to be welcomed back into English football, then I think it's about time we were all grown up enough to look towards our own before blaming everyone elses.
I know this isn't a football blog, but I had to get that off my chest. C'mon France!

I currently have a few PCI expansion cards in my PC but space is getting tight and every time I pull the machine to make updates or changes it gets to be a pain with the port numbering.
Was thinking something like this would be easier but wasn't sure if I would experience any issues with command collisions though the USB? Does calrad offer a similar product?

Our tactical fire conversations are often misleading and wasteful when the fire ground variables are not defined. What is on fire, where is the fire, what is the volume of fire, how is the fire growing (air, fuel, heat), how can the fire be accessed safely, what are the steps to accessing the fire, how will the access affect the fire growth, what is the urgency of the access, what are the unknowns, how will the unknowns be determined, what resources are available (water, foam, nozzles, lines), when will and if additional resources be available, what tools are available to use, what skill level does the crews have, who is in command, what conditions such as weather have to be considered and how, what is the window of opportunity and so many I have not listed. It is easy to see why we can't communicate effectively. We just don't have time?

It happens to everyone. You and your spouse miscommunicate and you end up with two bunches of bananas, one of which will most likely get too ripe for your preferences and you'll have to bake something to use it up.
That's what happened to us. Fortunately I'm not too sad about it since I love to bake! (And I miraculously found time to do it.) Instead of making my usual Banana Bread with Wheat Germ or this Banana Bread Granola I'm obsessed with, I wanted to make some muffins with my Rye flour (used for these Rye Brownies, which are insanely good).
I found this recipe and made a few modifications to make it more tasty and nutritious - applesauce instead of oil, added cinnamon, raisins and raw walnuts. I made these three days ago and we ate all but two of them by the time I got around to photographing the final product!
I like to put two in the toaster oven then top with some Kerrygold Irish Butter and eat them with a cup of tea - or spoonful of crunchy peanut butter, ya know, whatever you like :P
May you have ripe bananas on hand and enjoy these as much as I have! Happy Tuesday!
Rye Banana Muffins
2 large ripe bananas
3/4 c white sugar
~ 1/3 c unsweetened plain applesauce
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c rye flour
1 1/4 c white flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
~ raisins
~ raw walnuts
Preheat your oven to 350. Prepare 12 muffin tins with cooking spray and then muffin liner thingys ;)
Mash up your ripe bananas in a large bowl. Add sugar, apple sauce, eggs and vanilla and stir until smooth. In a separate bowl, add your flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, whisking to combine. Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and stir just until everything is incorporated (don't over stir).
In your muffin tin lined with muffin liner papers, add raisins and walnuts to your liking. (I suppose you could add oatmeal or chocolate chips...oooh, maybe next time!) I used a 1/4 cup scoop to evenly distribute the batter over the raisins and walnuts, filling them all to the top since this muffin doesn't really rise.
Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins are slightly brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Makes 12 muffins <3

|Rio Grande High School (main office), 2300 Arenal Road SW
|Add event to calendar
Rio Grande High School is hosting a meeting with parents and guardians to develop the Parent Involvement Plan as part of the required actions under the New Mexico Public Education Department Complaint Report. The meeting will take place from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in the school's main office.
The PED found that APS did not provide parents sufficient opportunity to be involved in the restructuring process last year. The Parent Involvement Plan will detail the ways in which parents will be involved in future restructuring efforts as well as greater involvement in their children's education.

The father of a teenage girl who was allegedly attacked with a machete in Leeds said she has been left scared to leave hospital.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be identified, suffered a serious facial injury in the incident in Moortown on Monday evening.
It is claimed she was slashed after being involved in a fight with another girl.
A 17-year-old boy appeared in court on Friday (Jan 9) charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was remanded in custody until January 23.
Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the victim's father said his daughter, who had ambitions to be a model, was facing a long road to recovery.
"She's scared to leave hospital," he said. "She's a happy-go-lucky girl, she speaks her own mind. But right now she's timid and her mental state isn't what it was.
"I'm just hoping she will get back to her old self."
The incident happened shortly before 8.30pm on Monday, on Lingfield Drive, allegedly after a pre-arranged fight between two girls.
The victim's father said he was left in shock when he went to visit his daughter, who also suffered a fractured skull, at Leeds General Infirmary.
"She had a massive laceration across her face and was complaining of a severe headache," he said.
"I'm devastated to think that such a thing could happen to a teenage girl. It's just not what anyone would think could happen in this day and age."
During a 10-minute hearing in Leeds Youth Court on Friday (Jan 9) the defendant spoke only to confirm his name and to ask for clarification of the charge. He was remanded to appear at Leeds Crown Court on January 23.
Two other males, aged 17 and 20, and a 15-year-old girl who were arrested in connection with the inquiry remain on bail.
The girl's father thanked staff at LGI for their treatment of her.
