 most well-recognized substances is the century-old pain killer Paracetamol. Paracetamol is part of a family of compounds, the so-called para-aminophenols, which also includes other biologically active molecules, such as Diloxanide Furoate, which is used against amoeba infections, or the beta blocker Practolol. These molecules are typically synthesised using harsh acids, in processes that involve the formation of considerable amounts of waste (in the form of undesired byproducts).

Over the next five months, live music venue Tin Roof will host a wave of country artists for Nashville Hits the Roof, a tour showcasing up-and-coming artists from Nashville, Tennessee.
The free concert series will kick off in Columbia Feb. 16 with country artist Ross Ellis. To prepare for the series, Tin Roof talent buyers and entertainment managers searched for new artists that would be not only crowd pleasers but also potential breakout stars. The series was planned to give customers a personal experience with the performers and give burgeoning artists the opportunity to showcase their talent.
Artists such as Luke Combs, Kacey Musgraves and Kenny Chesney have all played at Tin Roof Nashville during their careers.
“We really wanted to kind of bring that to all of our locations with a country tour and make them free shows and open to the public and give country artists a platform where they could go on a proper tour of all of the Tin Roofs,” Glasgow said.
Though Nashville Hits the Roof is packed with a full setlist of new talent, this series is also intended to be accessible to both artists and audiences. Each show is free to the public, and the artists get the opportunity to share their music at different Tin Roof properties.
Entertainment manager for Tin Roof Carolinas and Baltimore Scott Murff said showing these artists the best of Columbia could be beneficial for Columbia’s local music scene in the long run.
“We feel like we’ve always been bringing great entertainment to Columbia, but in order for us to get to that next level and to keep these higher level artists coming to Columbia, we have to show them what this market has to offer,” Murff said.
After working at Tin Roof Columbia for 10 years, Murff said family is what sets the location apart from the other live music joints.
The live music spot in the Vista, with its laid-back atmosphere and Southern-inspired bar menu, is a great spot to host artists from most genres, including jazz and folk/Americana. It’s a place for music lovers to relax during a weekday or party on a weekend, according to assistant general manager Jaryd Toohey.
“It’s a fun environment where you can get to know a lot of people and it’s always a good time,” Toohey said.
Tin Roof Columbia will host artists on the Nashville Hits the Roof tour from February to July. They are looking to add more up-and-coming artists as they are available.

This is the woman who has been delivering our post since we moved here – you’d think that she’d know by now that she was delivering post and packages to the correct address. Pheesh. Still, I shouldn’t grumble … she handed me three parcels and I took great delight in ripping them all open [one was Narnia (for The Blokey’s Easter gift – we were just going to get each other DVDs but at the weekend we succumbed to the seasonal aisle in Tesco, badbadbad), two were from two different wedding craft sites, so I can make some invitations / place-cards] and ooh-ing & aah-ing as the contents were revealed to me.
 It’s very unlike me to become obsessed with actors I don’t even like [although Tom Cruise was quite superb in Vanilla Sky] and it’s fairly freaking me out. Hopefully the need for obsession will pass once the TomKitten pops out, silently, and Tom does the decent thing and runs off with the alien baby. Or maybe I’m just broody, and therefore ever-so slightly jealous. Heavens!
I have an unhealthy appetite for all things cultish. Not in the We Love Doctor Who / Smallville or the Robert Smith sense of the word, but the ‘religious’ tones that make one [see how posh I can be?] think of Scientology, the Moonies, and David Koresh. Up to a certain point I can respect [and sometimes admire] those who belong to a tradition / religion that many of us would call a ‘cult’. But only up to a certain point. I mean, even Christianity began as a branch of Judaism and some of the early beliefs were [perhaps still are considered to be] a tad strange and immoral.
I’m quite happy to be angry with, and amazed at the audacity of, those religious people who take things to the extreme, and who aren’t always necessarily a member of a ‘cult’. It’s easy to have solid feelings for something that is tangible. But it’s the Scientologist’s who spook me. Really spook me. Sunderland’s Fawcett Street holds many happy memories for me, not least because I spent much of the five years I was at university in the fine city dodging the Scientologist’s who stood outside the Scientologist Centre hoping to grab unsuspecting folk off the streets. Thinking back now, it amuses me. Sunderland is not the wealthiest of cities, but in its glory days it was the Master, Wife and Mistress of ship-building rolled into one. And we all know that Scientology attracts the wealthy … I can only assume that the Centre in Sunderland [one of only about nine in the whole of the UK] does well from the rich foreign students who seem to thrive in the city.
I suppose I simply feel pity for Katie Holmes. We all know that she was Tom’s second choice [he attempted to get into the knickers of Scarlett Johanson first, but she wasn’t interested in the whole ‘cult’ thing]. He asked her to marry him because she wanted to stay a virgin till she married [and what’s the best way to get into someone’s knickers? Yessir, offer them your undying love and a Big Fat Diamond]. He got her pregnant because he needed to prove he wasn’t firing blanks. And now he’s tried to get her to sign something to state that if the relationship breaks down HE can have sole custody of the child.
Pffft. These rich men and their unhealthy lifestyle choices. Hmmm, Catholicism or Scientology for the bringing up of baby? Oooh, tough choice. Ms Holmes, I have little time for you, and I fear you to be naive and gullible, but do the decent thing – Run. Now. Or waddle, whichever is easiest really.
Tom Cruise? You scare me. Muchly. Your way of life is dark, secretive, controlling and very very strange.
I’m disappointed in Katie. She shoud have chosen Pacey….oh wait, that wasn’t the really real world. Still, she was that wholesome girl, now it’s as if she’s spaced out and under some kind of weird spell.
Has he really made her sign something saying he’d have sole custody?!?!?
That shows how much I know…I thought she DID choose Pacey.
Scientology scares me. As do most things of that nature. Tom Cruise makes me laugh and shudder at the same time. I want Katie to run as well.
I haven’t a clue about Scientology, but with Cruise as the most public spokesperson, I don’t have any interest in learning about it all.
Has he really tried to make her sign that. Boy O’Boy. What would you say to someone who tried that.
RYC: I forgot the Fall Guy. That was cool to. I also forgot Buck Rogers as well. I said Id change my mind and I cant even get my list right.
 I must pay more attention!
I’m scared just flicking through the TomKat site. All so very scary indeedy.
Katie is so dumb! Tom is a weirdo!
billions of aliens strapped to an exploding volcano… evil, dirty souls known as Thetans floating around the world. 
I enjoyed Vanilla Sky too. But I agree this is all very warped indeed. Warped but fascinating.
Would love to see the expression on Tom’s face when baby starts ripping out & Katie has to scream.  On a totally better note – I made my own wedding invitations. Am more than prepared to share information if you need.
Oooooh, handmade place cards. Pretty!I’m with you – something about people who can believe so devoutly fascinates me endlessly.
I’ve been so annoyed about the whole thing. He’s an older man, and he doesn’t even have the decency to realise that as a father, one of the responsibilities is
