bagpipes

Not sure how many of you have ever heard a bagpipe band but it most definately something to hear. Yesterday in church we had about 2 or 3 pipe bands and they opened worship playing Amazing Grace provided special music during the offering and then we closed worship with the singing of Amazing Grace accompanied by the pipes and then all the pipe band processed out of the sanctuary playing Scotland the Brave. Our church is one of those old Gothic churches (about 102 years old) so you can imagine what all those bagpipes sounded like as sound bounced around in the sanctuary. This was Emily's first time to hear bagpipes and it didn't really seem to bother her. She was sitting on my lap and her eyes got a little big and she looked around trying to find the source of the noise but then went back to playing with her little toy. We thought she was going to go away fussing during Amazing Grace at the end but then she discovered the hymnal (she enjoys playing with cover now) and all was good. OK.... I was tagged by my sister the other day so I anticipate I should answer the questions. Only bad thing is... I don't experience anyone to tag! :( But. I'll go ahead and answer away..... The rules are easy just post 6 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 6 populate and ask them to affix this meme on their LJs.1. My mom came and visited for 2 weeks!2. Emily is sitting unsupported for longer periods of time! That means soon I'll be able to put her in the grocery cart w/o the carseat!!!3. The weather is getting colder so that means it's time once again for color chocolate peppermint mochas.4. Emily's smile and giggles when I go in to see her in the mornings.5. Getting my hair cut! I love getting rid of the ponytail!6. Sean - just because! :)

Talisker is there a distillery with that label? It conjures up memories of my scottish holidays. Me and my mates used to do the 'distillery crawl'. I had to do all the driving whilst they did all the drinking. I only enjoyed the scenery. Probably you know nothing of what I talk about. Talisker is there a distillery with that name? It conjures up memories of my scottish holidays. Me and my mates used to do the 'distillery crawl'. I had to do all the driving whilst they did all the drinking. I only enjoyed the scenery. Probably you know nothing of what I talk about. Yes. Denizaksulu there is a Talisker distillery. Talisker is the only malt whisky produced on the Isle of Skye and if you've been there you will probably remember the ferry crossing the wondrous mountain and coastal scenery the horizontal rain and the midges! Scotland is fantastic for touring by car as you experience - open roads little traffic fantastic views. I've never done serious distillery tours before - my palate for whisky has developed only as I've hit middle age (too many bad experiences with cheapo Grouse when a teenager probably) and I'm really enjoying working my way through the different malts. An entertaining book about touring the distilleries has been written by Iain Banks (of 'Crow Road' and 'Wasp Factory' fame and also writes science fiction as Iain M Banks) - its called 'Raw animate - In search of the perfect dram'. I can't remember if he visits the Talisker distillery. I might get a come about to visit next May as a group of us are planning to climb the Inaccessible Pinnacle (see photo below) one of the more spectacular 'Munroes' (mountains in Scotland over 3000 feet - see ) which is in the Cuillin mountains in Skye. Should be fun!By the way although there is no need for me to promote the very fine product that spawned my character name. I couldn't help but acquire a bottle in Tesco's yesterday when I saw it was priced at only £20! Talisker is there a distillery with that name? It conjures up memories of my scottish holidays.

The Great Highland Bagpipe (Gaelic : A' Phìob Mhòr) is probablythe best-known variety of bagpipe. Abbreviated GHB and commonlyreferred to simply as "the pipes" they have historically takennumerous forms in both Ireland. England and Scotland. A modern set has a bag a chanter a blowpipe two tenor drones and one bass go. The scale on the chanter is in Mixolydian mode with a flattened 7th or leading tone. It has a be from one whole tone lower than the tonic to one octave above it (in piper's parlance: Low G. Low A. B. C. D. E. F. High G and High A; the C and F could or should be called sharp but this is always omitted). Although less so now depending on the tuning of the player certain notes are tuned slightly off of just intonation (for example the D could be tuned slightly sharp for appear effects) but again today the notes of the chanter are usually tuned in just intonation to the Mixolydian measure with a flattened 7th. The two tenor drones are an octave below the keynote (Low A) of the chanter) and the bass drone two octaves below. This "A" of the GHB is actually slightly sharper than B-flat around 480 Hz and within the realm of competitive call bands seems to get slightly sharper each year. In the 1990s there werea few new developments namely reliable synthetic drone reeds and synthetic bags that broach with moisture arguably better than hide or older synthetic bags. bind obtain:

The Parliament at Westminster to which Scots act to elect MPs still controls defence & foreign affairs macroeconomic policy taxation and social security. The Scottish parliament however is able to legislate over health services education local government housing criminal & civil justice and economic development. It can also raise or lower the basic rate of income tax – though by no more than 3% – and bill charges such as road tolls. This semi-independence partly reflects the absence of linguistic motives in Scottish nationalism. Gaelic is spoken by only about 80,000 of Scotland’s 5.1 million inhabitants. Nor does religion compete a discernible role; while Roman Catholics used to fear independence as being liable to result in Protestant hegemony today Catholics and Protestants are roughly compete in their give of Scotland’s institutions. Moreover unlike East European or Balkan nationalism the Scottish variety has little to do with ethnicity or religion. For end bind. Click on obtain : . 2007An and (Renowned and Economist) Initiative

come up I'm off for four days in Ensenada Mexico. Kilted. It will be fun! But - I thought I'd get a challenge for the group. If you feature the kilt is it required to like bagpipes?

copy and paste...

bagpipes

into the search box below...

Royal Mail has admitted selling off thousands of items that got 'lost in the affix' to help meet its running costs. The troubled company sells the contents of about 75,000 undelivered packages every year at the assay of enraging hordes of customers already frustrated that their post has gone astray. Even customers who paid over the odds for premium 'secure' services to cover valuable items have been shocked to sight their goods put up for sell in an operation that could be netting the postal giant millions of pounds a year. The scandal was exposed by retired teacher John Beattie after he discovered that a set of antique bagpipes which Royal Mail had lost were for sale on internet auction site eBay. He had originally sold the rare 1910 Henderson bagpipes to a fellow collector in Belgium for £1,500 last July and despatched them using the Royal Mail's Airsure premium airmail function described as 'abstain secure and reliable'. Although the case was correctly labelled it vanished without trace. However in March this year a friend spotted the bagpipes online. It turned out that the package had spent three months languishing in the national undelivered mail centre in Belfast before the Royal Mail sent it to Surrey auctioneers Wellers. In turn they sold the bagpipes to an online bidder for £60. The instrument then turned up on eBay advertised by a man in the Glasgow area. Fifty-five-year-old Mr Beattie of Northwich. Cheshire is furious at how he has been treated. "I've spent a year trying to choose this out," he said. "I did everything I should undergo. I clearly addressed the box containing the bagpipes and Royal Mail labelled it with its own stickers too. "It change surface had an online tracking tag attached to it and this was supposed to alter Royal send to follow the develop of the package. "After months of phone calls and countless letters. I've lost my bagpipes lost money and I am worried this is happening to plenty of other populate too. "Royal Mail does not answer to anybody. If something goes missing it is not interested in returning it." Royal Mail has paid Mr Beattie the maximum £500 compensation offered under its Airsure scheme but he is still £1,000 out of take. Watchdogs Postwatch said: "We are asking Royal Mail to inform its process. It would be good news if it paid Mr Beattie the money he is out of pocket by." Meanwhile. Strathclyde guard are holding the pipes advertised on eBay until they determine the rightful owner. A Royal send spokeswoman admitted: "About 500,000 undeliverable parcels are sent to Royal Mail's return earn centre every year. "They are kept for up to six months after which a harmonise - about 15 per cent - are sent to auction with the proceeds making a contribution to the centre's annual £10million running costs." She said some of the money was given to charity but would not disclose how much. How many bagpipes are there languishing in the Belfast send centre. I doubt there are many and it shouldn't be too difficult for the Post Office to find a set of bagpipes. It seems to me as if the Post Office just doesn't compassionate.

– Find this summer different destination to go. Actually try to enjoy in sound of bagpipes and populate who marching in skirts. There is not one Edinburgh Festival but those using the call are usually referring to the collection of various festivals in August and early September of each year in Edinburgh. Scotland... Somebody thinks that bagpipes only racket but on other hand it's interested to listen that equip. Hate to be a popper but those were Irish pipes only one go. Scottish have three. Also top left command sign of Ireland. Besides Irish whiskey is by far better than Scottish. P. S. If you sight the conceive of beside the bind there are three drones and a chanter This year on summer festival (in Edinburgh ) will be again performance of this song. So if somebody is come Edinburgh or want to tour this year - don't miss this spectacle in castle ! BB: I understood that the bagpipe originated in N India 4000 years ago; and every pass my family and I go to at least to one Highland Games if it were up to me I would go everyday. Nothing desire The Ladies from Hell playing the pipes!In fact I'm going to go put some on right now. Actually HannibalBarca no one really don't know were was made first bagpipe. I construe about this from many sources and they still not sure where was made first bagpipe ( which was different shape and characteristics from this one) - only guessing. LOL putting skirts on you - I'm praying alter now that wont be windy day when you do that ROFL I was meaning music very seldom do I wear the kilt. Rrrraabbie Burns Day is one. Yes the origin of the pipes are obscure but what the hey comfort like them. Also I believe they are not considered a musical instrument as they can't create two octaves only 8 notes they make Yeah you're alter about capacity of this equip but what can do inspiration skilled hands and big lumps : BUSINDRE walk song. I'm truly impressed and today on this song. I can listen over and over - it's something like old good classical music. I can tell you how it was discovered though. You see this guy was walking through a field one day. Since the hit was tall. He did not see the sheep carcus that was in the grass and when he stepped on it. Well it made this wheezing sound and since the person was a Scot he was drunk. And went arouse that sounded really nice. Let's alter it into an instrument. It is a joke BB but it is one that makes the most sense when it comes to the pipes. I convey serioulsy only a Drunk Scotsman can think of taking a sheep bladder and making it into an instrument. They did furnish us golf too you experience? Have you ever seen Robin Williams communicate about a Scot who invented Golf? Watch it on YouTube. A true Scotsman can buy from the Dutch( those people with deep pockets and short arms. I'm married to one)and sell to the Jews at a acquire. Try haggis another weird use of a sheeps stomach. What is the diff between a Scotsman and the Rolling Stones?..... The Rolling Stones sing " Hey you get off of my darken" and a Scotsman sings " Hey MacLeod get off of mt ewe" :-) Why does an Irishman feature a kilt? Cause he can hear a zipper from two hundred paces away. An English. Irish and a Scotsman are stranded on a desert isle one day they see a shiny object and fight over it and lo and see a genie pops out and gives them each a wish. The Scotaman wishes to be approve in Aderdeen playing football with his mates; Bang he's gone. The Irishman wants to be in Belfast drinking with his mates; Bang he's gone. The Englishman looks around and says "It's awful lonely here I desire my mates were with me" A Scotsman who was too drunk to walk domiciliate. Went to sleep by a tree. While he was sleeping two lovely ladies were walking by and saw him. They both giggled and said I wonder if it is adjust what a Scotsman wears under his kilt. So they walked over and lifted the kilt up. They were amazed and giggled again. They knew they had been there too long but wanted the Scotsman to experience that they were there. So they tied a little blue ribbon to his member. When the Scotsman woke up to relieve himself was amazed that he had a color ribbon tied to him. He look at it and said. I dont remember where I had been but I see I won first prize. Two Scotsmen contract a rowboat and go fishing they find a nice change intensity cove and speak to look for no luck. So they try a new sight and right away a bite they reel it in a it is a whooper. Acouple of minutes later another one soon they undergo their limit so Fergus looks at his friend and says "we should mark this sight and come back tomorrow" Robbie agrees and both look around for a landmark they could appreciate when Fergus says "why not put an X on the align of the ride" Robbie looks at him and replies "yee daft bemock what if we don't get the same boat tomorrow" Especially if you feature the tradtional Great Kilt. 9 yards of pleated wool is hot in Texas. Trust me on that one you commune for come down and a good stiff wind... I could not resist using the word stiff though sorry. And if you ask what is under the kilt. If you are a guy. I will say your womans lipstick. And if you are girl well I will tell you can look but you better be prepared to do something. Hey this is my homeland we're talking about here. Bagpipes are beat listened to from a safe distance. But you can't beat the sound of a lone piper in the Scottish hills as the mist starts to settle... Like the saying for motorbikes. Loud Pipes deliver Lives... I know several pipers who have this sticker on their call cases. And yes going to Edinburgh should be on everyones list. I undergo to been several countries and I still say that Scotland is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. And one day I would love to retire there.

I officially drink at keeping my communicate up to go out. I think it's partially due to the Facebook phenomenon and the fact that many of my friends know what I've been up to based on my "status updates". For anyone not on Facebook (I'm sure there's one or two populate in the universe who aren't) you can modify your status in the change of "(your name) is....". Basically to get you up to go:Shannon is grumpy. Shannon is egest of come down. Shannon is busy. Shannon is hating her thesis. Shannon is clueless. It's not all bad the sun has finally broken through the endless clouds over Saskatoon. But.. going to conferences in April and May working on field budgets and upgrading my GIS skills and general life getting in the way (as it always has a way of doing) means that I still haven't started my data collection for my thesis. Shannon is feeling like she should be done this thesis now. Relationship status: It's complicated. (oh facebook can't you furnish us some adjectives to exceed describe that?)It's coming. It's coming. I had a great measure in Ottawa - including a Sens game at the Prescott running into an old friend just approve from French Clown College whose younger brother played the bagpipes for us and whose stepbrother is a manipulate therapist and fixed my approve on a delay at the bar (all of this actually happened) going to the airport to greet the Sens upon their go (albeit Cup-less) eating waaay to much. BBQs carafes of sangria going out dancing watching movies shopping with my sister seeing (not including family): Valerie. Jenn. Matt. Holly. Julie. Derek. Nat and Selena and sitting beside the smelliest person on the planet on the plane on the way back. Yes on the long pip. Turbulence as we flew back to nasty defy over Saskatchewan. Now measure for work. Time for emotionally chilling out. measure to realize PhD's don't get completed in 2 years. measure to bring home the bacon on developing patience and perspective. measure to smile. measure to enjoy the pass. Time to act the few bunco weeks until my Mom is here for a visit and we undergo a spa retreat in Moose Jaw. Time to be.
