Why Use This Tip
Everyone reads, and everyone writes. Helping youth notice the great variety of writing all around them "in the real world" not only helps them learn that people of all ages write for a variety of purposes, for different audiences, and in different forms or genres, but it also motivates them to write in genres that are new and engaging and helps them become more fluent and more flexible writers.
What To Do
The first step in helping kids write for the real world is helping them notice many different kinds or genres of writing: billboards, songs, news articles, comics, poetry, short stories, movie scripts, memos, CD covers, blogs, Facebook pages, picture books, Web pages, resumés, and more!
- Talk about the writing that you find and ask open-ended questions such as:
- What is the point that the writer is trying to make?
- Who is the intended audience for this piece of writing? Why do you think so?
- What features make this genre of writing distinctly identifiable as it is? For example, what makes this news article look and read like a news article? What makes this comic strip look like a comic strip?
- What do you notice about the form of this genre? How does it appear on the page?
- Is the style of the writing formal or informal? Why do you think so?
- In noticing various genres, be attuned to the genre or genres that spark the most interest. Does your young person have an idea that she would like to share with others? With whom does she want to share the idea? Talk about which genre would be most effective in reaching that particular audience and then begin a study of that particular genre by doing the following:
- Collect four or five samples. If your teen wants to write a letter to the editor, collect four or five different letters to the editor.
- Study the samples that you have collected and answer the questions listed above to think deliberately about the form, style, and content of each piece.
- Make a list of the features that make the genre - in this case, the letter to the editor - identifiable as a letter to the editor.
- Encourage young people to use the information gleaned from the genre study to write their own letter to the editor or any other genre of choice.

are you that special someone???
only one way to find out… you just might be a good fit if:
- making freshly milled cornbread & oven-baked oatmeal makes you smile like a fool, and bonus if you're obsessed with cookies
- you're a "morning person" and can handle getting to work before most people have woken up – shift will start at 5am, 3 days/week
- you've got experience working in a bakery/went to school to learn the ropes of working in a bakery

so quit prancing around and reach out – send an e-mail with resume to:
thanks dudes, talk soon

The Egyptian parliament has formally elected for the second time the Constituent Assembly that is supposed to write a new charter to replace the Constitutional Declaration issued in March 2011 by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. The chances that the Constituent Assembly will be able to do so, however, appear slim since it already faces both political and legal challenges. Despite an agreement reached on June 7 among political parties on the composition of the new body, when the list of names was approved by the parliament on June 12, 57 MPs walked out, refusing to participate in the process.
Participating in the walkout were members of Egypt's major political parties, including those in the Egypt Bloc and the Revolution Continues Alliance, some in the Wafd party, the Hurriyah Party, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, the Egyptian-Arabic Union Party, and the Egyptian Citizen Party as well as several independent candidates. Their withdrawal is not sufficient to invalidate the formation of the Constituent Assembly, although many of the parties are already arguing that the Constituent Assembly lacks the legitimacy to write a constitution. Furthermore, the walkout may well be the prelude to the resignation of newly appointed Constituent Assembly members. Resignations among members doomed the first Constituent Assembly: in early April non-Islamist members withdrew one by one alleging the body was dominated by Islamists and shortly thereafter the courts officially disbanded the body. One Constitutional Court judge appointed to the second Constituent Assembly withdrew immediately, arguing that he did not want to embroil the court in political fights, even though representation for judges, among other professional groups, had been one of the demands of those advocating a diverse Constituent Assembly. The next day, the SCAF also withdrew its representative, citing the absence of a "national consensus" about its composition.
Now as in April, Islamists are accused of trying to dominate the Constituent Assembly and reneging on the agreement that stipulated seats should be divided equally between Islamist and non-Islamist candidates. Not so, argue Islamists, it is their opponents that try to undermine the agreement by imposing their own definition of who should be considered an Islamist for the purpose of implementing the agreement. The Muslim Brotherhood wants to limit the definition strictly to members of its Freedom and Justice Party and of the Salafi Al-Nour Party. The other side wants to include all parties and organizations with any kind of Islamic reference, such as the moderate al-Wasat Party, al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya's Building and Development Party, other Salafi groups, and even al-Azhar University.
Paradoxically, the day before the agreement on the formation of the Constituent Assembly started unraveling the parliament had managed to adopt a long-overdue law defining the rules to be followed by the Constituent Assembly. The short law is a simple, rather technical document that bravely pretends the assembly will work in a harmonious manner and will enjoy legitimacy and support. Under the present circumstances, the law seems somewhat irrelevant because the Constituent Assembly may never be able to function—at least not the Constituent Assembly envisaged by the Constitutional Declaration, about which the parties are unable, and probably increasingly unwilling, to agree.
The SCAF is now threatening to take things into its own hands and to dispense of the parliament's role in forming the Constituent Assembly by either issuing a second Constitutional Declaration to replace the March 2011 version or by reviving the 1971 constitution, which the SCAF itself abrogated after the fall of Mubarak. This threat was the reason behind the intense flurry of meetings and consultations among parties that led to the short-lived June 7 agreement on a new formula for the formation of the Constituent Assembly.
The speed with which the agreement started unraveling, indeed even before the list of proposed members was published, strongly suggests that at least some of the parties would in fact prefer it if the SCAF rewrote the constitution or revived the 1971 document. A SCAF intervention would be the best way to minimize the Islamist parties' role in the writing of the constitution. No matter how much parties haggle, the Muslim Brothers and the Salafis, who control 70 percent of the parliament, are bound to influence a constitution written by an elected body. A failure of the second Constituent Assembly thus well serves the interests of some non-Islamist parties, although others are opposed to another SCAF intervention in the drafting of the constitution.
To be sure, sooner or later Egypt will have to adopt a real constitution rather than relying on a Constitutional Declaration issued imperiously by the military, but a delay could be all important. A case is pending in front of the Supreme Constitutional Court that seeks to invalidate the constitutionality of the election law used in the 2011–12 parliamentary elections. If the court declares the law unconstitutional, the parliament could be disbanded, and this would be the death blow for the already fragile Constituent Assembly. Whether new elections under an amended election law would produce a parliament in which Islamists play a smaller role is impossible to predict, but from the point of view of the Islamists' adversaries, there are good reasons to postpone the formation of a Constituent Assembly in the hope that the balance of power will shift.
The battle over the new constitution, like many political battles in Egypt today, is moving fast from the electoral arena, dominated by the better-organized Islamists, to the realm of non-electoral politics, where the military and the courts, and thus the elements of the old regime, still hold sway. It looks increasingly likely that the constitution will not be written by a Constituent Assembly formed by the elected parliament, at least not the present one.
No matter what happens in the end, the hope that the constitution will be written through a democratic process is dwindling rapidly, if it has not vanished altogether. Far from being a process to develop consensus on a way forward, the writing of the constitution is at the center of the struggle for power between Islamists and secular political parties that, as in the days of Mubarak, are now openly counting on the military to thwart Islamists and allow secular parties to dominate despite their dismal electoral performance.
The maneuvering surrounding the formation of the Constituent Assembly may indeed reduce the influence of Islamists in the process, but it will do so by curbing democratic practices. The question about who will write the constitution may have to be replaced by a question about whose authoritarianism will prevail.

A Warm Welcome to my blog!
For those of you who don´t know me – I´m Tina Sequeira from Hyderabad. This is my new site ´The Tina Edit´. It was born in July this year and I made a public announcement of the same in August, once I was done with the design, logo etc. There are still certain aspects that I need to work on but I should figure it out soon.
A little bit more about me – I am a passionate, focussed and independent person. I like to mind my own business and appreciate the same in return. At the same time, I love mingling with people and having fun getogethers. I´d like to believe that I have imbibed the best traits of my parents – The strength and grace of my mother and the wit and wisdom of my father. The reason I blog today is because of my younger brother who egged me onto join the bandwagon way back in 2006 when blogging wasn't even a thing. I have younger twin brothers who are always mistaken to be my elder brothers thanks to the significant difference in height and my ever cherubic face.
Intelligence and kindness is what draws me to a person. That is the best explanation that I can give as to why I was attracted to my husband in the first place and chose to marry him. I absolutely love being a mother despite the fact that it can be very overwhelming at times. Motherhood has definitely changed me in many ways. It has brought out the ferocious Lioness in me who is always on her guard, protecting her little cub from any possible attacks from anywhere. It makes you want to be that strong role-model for her and the light when she´s in the dark.
I am a firm believer in maximising your talents for the greater good of the society that we live in. I don´t think our lives should merely revolve only around the family. As individuals, if we can expand our emotional sphere from the Í´ (self) and ´We´ (family) to Ús´ (the society at large), we will be living in ´Heaven on Earth´ itself. The news of the suicide of a married woman because of the harassment of her in-laws should bother us as if it happened to one of our own? The moral policing of women during the New Years Eve revelry in Bangalore should affect us as if it happened to one of our own kind. The ugliness in our society is our responsibility, not others. I believe each one of us can use our unique talents to make a real change in the world that we live in.
On that note, I would like to thank BlogChatter from the bottom of my heart for being shining examples of having a large emotional sphere ..for making a significant difference in the lives of so many writers.
Today marks the final quarter of 2017 and the month long #MyFriendAlexa campaign hosted by BlogChatter.
My current Alexa Rank globally is 4,040,370 and in India, it is 1,67,693 as on 1 Sep 2017.
Alexa Traffic Rank
Traffic Rank in IN
Apart from boosting the Alexa rank of my site, another reason for me to take part is also to connect with fellow writers. I have met quite a number of writers in this one year and I´m also looking to know more and learn something new from them. I genuinely believe that there is something to learn from everyone you meet. I know a couple of wonderful bloggers from Blogchatter and have met the ones who stay in Hyderabad – Romila, Atul, and Sherna.
I would really appreciate it if you can drop in a line or two about yourself and we can get started after our introduction.

In Bryan's Words
The Dry Aged New York steak is probably the most popular of all the steaks and for understandable reasons. It delivers an extremely tender cut with very good flavor that can stand completely on its own with just salt and pepper. It delivers this with virtually no internal bits of fat (not to be confused with marbling, which it has in abundance). In fact, all the fat runs along one side and for those who wish to avoid it altogether have no difficulty whatsoever removing it.
The New York steak is cut from the largest section of the Dry Aged Shortloin, which for those of you crazy enough to try to ride one of these critters, is where you'd put the saddle. The New York comes in many different forms and names; when cut boneless, it's called New York, New York Strip, Strip Sirloin, Striploin, and primarily in the New York City area the Shell Steak.
Its various manifestations include dry aged boneless new york, dry aged bone in new york strip (also called a Kansas City Strip),dry aged T-Bone, and as the predominant steak in the Porterhouse. In the porterhouse, it teams up with the Filet Mignon, while in the T-Bone it teams up with the bone (which is one reason I'm not a big fan of the T-Bone).
One end of the strip abuts the Prime Rib (where you'll find the Ribeye steaks); literally the width of a knife separates the two cuts, and the other end will transition into the Top Sirloin or Chateaubriand. The end at the Chateaubriand is visually the less attractive of the two ends but is actually the more tender by nature; although we may be splitting hairs here, because the difference is indeed subtle when dry aged and would only be noticeable if the two cuts were tasted side by side.
For those of you who like to add a modern twist to classic cuts, a less common way to use the New York is to have it cut double thick (24oz), and then serve it in slices as you would a Chateaubriand.
These Dry Aged New York steaks start their life as part of a whole USDA Prime New York Shortloin, which we dry age in our carefully monitored aging coolers for 30-35 days. The dry aging process enhances the natural flavor of the beef and will give a more tender end result as well. While the New York Steak has the reputation of being king of cuts, our hand selected USDA Prime, Dry Aged Strips are simply the best dry aged steaks you can buy online.
Contrary to what you might have heard, the best way to determine the cooking time on a steak is by the thickness, rather than the weight.
On the Grill:
1" – 8 minutes total; 5 and 3
1¼" – 9 minutes total; 7 and 3
1½" – 14 to 15 minutes total; 10 and 4
2" – 15 to 18 minutes total; 11 and 5
2½" – 20 minutes total; 12 and 8
3" – 25 minutes total; with such a thick cut you can really get creative here, and grill on all four sides. Turn the steak in a constant direction, and go 7 minutes on the first and second side, then drop to 5 minutes for the final two sides

21 November 2012 | Regulatory | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Singapore: Sunshine Heart, a global medical device company focused on innovative technologies for moderate to severe heart failure, has received unconditional approval from the FDA to commence its pivotal US trial for its flagship C-Pulse Heart Assist System.
Sunshine Heart plans to initiate the pivotal trial in North America in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company has contacted a number of leading heart failure centers in the US and to date is encouraged by the positive response to participate in the trial. The trial design will consist of 388-patients of which half will be implanted with the C-Pulse System. The other half will be randomized to optimal medical therapy across 30-40 clinical sites.
Sunshine Heart expects to receive revenues from trial sites for device implants as the FDA has granted CMS Category B3 status. Because of this designation, it is also anticipated that participating trial centers will be reimbursed by CMS and most private insurance providers. The trial will utilize the company's next-generation single unit C-Pulse driver, which received approval for clinical trial use from the FDA in August, 2012, and has been in use in Canadian and US patients currently on the device. The new driver features a single unit, which is lighter, quieter, approximately half the size of its predecessor, and also includes numerous software updates.
In July, Sunshine Heart announced positive 12-month extended follow-up data from its preliminary feasibility study of the C-Pulse Heart Assist System. Extended data included positive efficacy trends with continued improvements in NYHA Class reduction, MLWHF Quality of Life score, and six minute hall walk. There were no additional patients with device-related serious adverse events (SAEs) in this 12 month time frame. Also in July, the company achieved CE Mark certification, allowing commercialization of the device in Europe.
The company estimates enrollment for the event-driven pivotal trial will take approximately 2.5 years. The primary endpoint of the trial will be reduction in worsening heart failure events leading to hospitalization, advanced heart failure therapies and heart failure related mortality. A one year safety follow-up is expected. The lead investigator for the trial will be Dr William T. Abraham, director, division of cardiovascular medicine, Ohio State University Medical Center.

Select An Industry:
Gas piping leaks can result from various conditions, including improper thread sealing, missed brazed joints, defective piping, over pressurization, or even vibration and shocks. A pinhole leak can cost you tens of thousands of dollars per year, depending on the size, number and severity of the leak(s). There are many ways to detect leaks; for instance, using soap tests, pressure drop tests, mass spectrometry or thermal conductivity tests. They all have their place; however, they also often come with limitations in precision, speed, difficulty or cost.
Air Products' leak detection service can identify and repair costly leaks in your piping to help improve your part quality and bottom line.
In a short video, various methods for identifying leaks are described in more detail. You can view it online at www.airproducts.com/experts2. If you'd like to speak to a specialist about a leak detection audit of your facility, give us a call at 800-654-4567, and mention code 833.

Can't save sessions to CD after first save
Although I've tried both CD-R and CD-RW media, I have been unable to save Puppy's on-going sessions. The first session and any changes I make save, but subsequent saves result in CD drive error messages.
When oh when will Linux be ready for "prime time"?

The Multisession CD-R is not yet beta software.
We have to appreciate that we will keep coming up with new and exciting usages but quite often they will not work initially.
I use Puppy because (for me it is more reliable and workable than alternatives such as XP (which is also on this borrowed machine)
I understand your despair but there is still so much to do and I love the idea of the Multi-session too
but do not yet use it or expect it to work flawlessly . . .
For now we have to be assured that you burning it as a multi-session (which can be quite tricky)

Thank you all for your replies. Yes, I am burning the CD as a multisession and first-booting Puppy by pressing "5" as per the instructions.
I see that others are having the same problem as discussed here in this forum: http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=660
Many thanks for your help.

Post subject: Update
Well, today I've been able to save 2 sessions using the CD-R I burned. I downloaded and installed Firefox, imported my bookmarks, and maricle of wonders, the session saved! I also saved a second session, to make a grand total of 3 saved sessions.
But now I'm getting the same old error once again when I try to save additional sessions. It seems this is an intermittent problem, but I'll be darned if I can determine what makes the difference between being able to save a session or not.
I eagerly await some guidance.

a hardware or bios limitation prevented the cd from booting if it has more than one track on it. He used a usb pen drive to start the boot process.

Post subject: "Premature EOF" problem: directories too deep
This doesn't sound like the same problem I was having, but I do think I might have some insight into this...
What it sounds like to me is that you are having the "Premature EOF" problem, which is normally because your directories are too deep. Following the instructions in the thread you linked to above may help you around this. Using the -D option in etc/rc.reboot seems to be helpful. Give it a shot and see if it works...
It might not, and I'll tell you why...(this took me a while to figure out)
(Let me preface this by saying I've identified this problem with mozilla mail, but it could also crop up in other programs...)
If you're using mozilla mail, when you create your account, a folder is created in the .mozilla directory, given a name you specify for "name of account". Inside this folder are created files, Inbox, Sent, etc. Now, a little later on mozilla will/may ask you if you'd like to create a set of "Local Folders", which I believe keep backups or copies or amalgamate your mail or something. I have admit that I didn't read the dialogue box carefully before I clicked "OK". So, a second set of Inbox, Sent, etc files are created, inside of the folder "Local Folders" in the .mozilla directory. And there's your problem. You've now got two sets of VERY deep folders which have nearly identical names. If you watch the text scrolling very fast when you are shutting down, you'll see a pile of errors which read something like:
mkisofs: Error: /root/.mozilla/default/(gibberish)/Mail/(your account name)/Inbox and /root/.mozilla/default/(gibberish)/Mail/Local Folders/Inbox have the same Rock Ridge name: Inbox
You'll see a pile of these, one for every file which exists in both Local Folders and Your Account Name. I think (but am not absolutely positive) that because of the mkisofs errors created by these files, mkisofs fails and your session cannot be burned. I tried everything I could to change/remove the "Local Folders" directory, but couldn't. I ended up burning a new multisession puppy CD and have been using sylpheed as my mail program. The problem has not popped up again.
Hope this helps.

Post subject: Can't save sessions to CD after first save
Many thanks to all who have replied!
Well, I burned a new Puppy CD, booted it pressing "5' on the keyboard, and made sure not to open Mozilla Mail. I set everything up (Firefox, favorites, etc.), and powered off. And once again, the dreaded "premature EOF on stdin" error appeared, and I lost all my work. Dang!
This single feature ... the ability to save your configurations to CD ... makes Puppy so attractive, and for me it is the most valuable feature of all in this distro. I'm eagerly awaiting the next release, when hopefully this bug will be quashed. Meanwhile I've got about 6 Puppy CDs with varying amounts of saved configurations on them.

Just to be sure....
You linked to another thread which mentions adding a "-D" command to your rc.reboot file, to handle long file names. You are doing that, aren't you? And you are aware that rc.reboot is overwritten every time you reboot, so you either have to manually change the file every time you boot, or you have to set up a script to do it for you, such as Barry mentioned in that thread.
You are doing all of that, right? If you install firefox but don't add the -D to your rc.reboot file, you will get a "premature EOF" error and the boot will fail, no doubt about it.

After careful reading, I added "-D" to the mkisofs line in /root/etc/rcd/rc.reboot-cd and in /tmp/rc.reboot and saved them, replacing the original files. Still, no luck in saving to the CD.

Mobile Application Development - Best Practice #1
Call me Captain Obvious because this first one is:
Remember the mobile device is not a desktop
Just because its possible to port a desktop application to a mobile device doesn't mean the resulting application will be a successful mobile application, on the contrary it will probably be a bad mobile application. Microsoft has learned this lesson from some of the earliest version of Windows Mobile and accompanying applications.
Some of the important factors that fundamentally differentiate mobile devices from desktops are:
- constrained user interface
- one handed users
- on and off (unreliable) connections
- low bandwidth
- user behaviour can be different outside the office
- user mobile behvious can be different than stationary behaviour
Some of the best mobile applications on the market today are iPhone applications. Apple from the start has focused developers on the Human Interface of the application, publishing the "Human Interface Principles: Creating a Great User Interface". These principles are the basis for applicaiton development on the Mac desktop under OS/X and have been refined for the iPhone.
Apple elegantly states:
Great applications follow certain fundamental human interface design principles, regardless of the hardware they run on. That's because these principles are based on the way people-users-think and work, not on the capabilities of the device.
Don't underestimate the powerful effect the user interface has on people. A user interface that is unattractive, convoluted, or illogical can make even a great application seem like a chore to use. But a great user interface enhances the application and inspires a positive emotional attachment in users, earning their loyalty.
Apple describes 6 principles to be followed for a great user interface.
- Metaphors - use real world objects and actions in your application, users can readily relate to their purpose and outcome, and this will enable novice users to quickly grasp how your application works. Another way to put it is to incorporate the user's mental model of the domain wherever possible. An example is a folder, users can relate to the folders in the real world as containers of things so users easily transition to folders on a computing device where data can be added and removed.
Metaphors that Apple has included in it's UI Toolkit include iPod playback controls, tapping controls to make things happen, sliding on-off switches, and picker wheels that enable the user to 'flick' through lists of data.
Direct Manipulation - enable the user to feel they are controlling something trangible, so objects should remain visible during an action and provide immediate feedback once the action is complete.
The iPhone Multi-Touch interface for example enables users to use gestures to flip the view from portrait to landscape, finger tapping and scrolling, and multi-finger resizingee on screen without the use of an intermediate device such as a mouse, key board key or pointer.
See and Point - use choices and options in list form wherever possible and minimize text input, this will enable the user to 'see and point' rather than using the keyboard to type the entry, this minimizes validation logic in the applications.
Feedback - applications should respond to user actions with a visible change, audible feedback helps but it must be in addition to visible feedback since mobile devices may be in use in places where the user can't hear or has intentionally muted the device. Ways to enhance feedback include animation but only if it is subtle and meaningful.
User Control - the user, not your application, should initiate and control actions. Users should be allowed to cancel operations before they begin, or cancel long running operations. By keeping actions simple and straightforward user's can more readily understand them and remember them.
Another important attribute of user control is the applicaiton should be forgiving with the user, this will encourage user's to explore the application deeper. The iPhone Home button is like a built in forgiveness button, any application should be escapable by clicking the button to return home and start over.
Aesthetic Integrity - an applications usability is directly related to how cluttered or illogical the appearance. Application aesthetics is not a measure of how beautiful your application is but how well it integrates and makes accessible its function.

Notes on Version 3.1 Beta of the Fretboard Printer
No more Flash! This new fretboard diagram printer is a work in progress. If you find any bugs, please report them.
Description of the Scale and Chord Tone Fretboard Printer
The Scale and Chord Tone Fretboard Printer is a free fretboard generator for any stringed instrument. I designed it for my bass students and for you to use.
This free scale and chord generator allows you to view and print out the fretboard notes or fingerboard charts to most any scale, chord, or arpeggio on any stringed instrument in any tuning. The default tuning displays a bass fretboard, but don't be fooled. It supports all stringed instruments — like guitar, bass guitar, violin, cello, mandolin — for any number of strings in any standard tuning, dropped tuning or alternate tuning you can think of. It's a very powerful fretboard diagramming application...
Some things you can do with the scale and chord tone diagram printer:
- Generate guitar scales or bass scales on the fretboard.
- View and print scales for drop-D tuning on a guitar or bass fretboard.
- Display the notes to guitar chords on the fret board.
- Find your own guitar chord voicings by assembling the arpeggio notes of chords in various ways.
- Print out all the guitar notes on the guitar fretboard or bass notes on the bass fretboard.
- Create printable blank fretboard diagrams for any number of strings in any shape or size.
- Create and print scales for violin, cello, double bass and other fretless string instruments.
- Show the notes of natural harmonics on the guitar, bass guitar or any other stringed instrument.
- Generate diagrams for almost all scales and chords from the vast scale and chord dictionary.
- Make left-handed guitar fretboard diagrams.
I tried to make the scale diagrams and chord diagrams as simple and neat as possible. Most musicians can't afford those color ink cartridges so all diagrams are in printer-friendly greyscale.
The way the fretboard charts are displayed can be changed in a number of ways including the number of frets, starting fret, the width and height of the fretboard, etc. It is very customizable.
Play around with the program; you should figure out how it works pretty easily. Good luck memorizing all of your scales, modes and chord tones!
If you have questions about using the program, help for the Scale and Chord Tone Fretboard Printer follows...
Using the Scale and Chord Tone Fretboard Printer
The fretboard printer is laid out with a piece of paper for printing at the top and a user interface at the bottom. Using the controls you can make just about any note diagram you want.
I'll explain each tab and what the various controls, options, and settings do.
The Instrument Tab
On this tab you can set the number of strings and tuning note for each string for your diagram. Many of the most popular and common tunings for popular instruments are already listed under the presets. You can also quickly create a custom instrument for any number of strings in any tuning.
Instrument Presets
To select from the preset tunings, first choose an instrument. A list of preset instruments from which to choose will drop down. Click an instrument to select it.
Here is a table of instruments for which you'll find presets:
|Preset Instruments
|4-string bass
|5-string bass
|6-string bass
|6-string guitar
|7-string guitar
|acoustic guitar
|6-string lute
|8-string lute
|double bass
Once you've selected an instrument, if you don't want the standard tuning it loaded, click to select a new tuning. A menu of preset tunings for that instrument will drop down. Click to select a tuning.
Custom Tuning
A lot of people are using non-standard tunings. One reason I created this software was to help people properly learn scales and chords in alternate tunings. Since scale and chord books can't be printed for every possible tuning, many people end up not learning their instrument when they use these altered tunings.
You can easily create a custom instrument by simply typing in the tuning note for each string seperated by commas. For example, if you type in E,A,D,G# and click set, you will create a 4-string instrument tuned from lowest-pitched string to highest E,A,D,G#. You can use any number of valid notes (natural, single sharp, or flat) you like: A, A#, Bb, B, C, C#, Db, D, D#, Eb, E, F, F#, Gb, G, G#, and Ab.
When you click the set button a new diagram is generated with the new tuning and correct number of strings. It is also saved on your computer into your own personal list of custom tunings. To access these saved custom tunings, select custom from the instrument menu, then click to select the custom tuning saved in memory.
Save as Default Tuning
If you have a preferred tuning, you can set it as your default tuning for each time you return to the fretboard diagram generator. When you have the tuning you want, click the save button. It will be stored as your default tuning on this computer.
The Fretboard Diagram Settings Tab
Note: most of these can be adjusted with a scale or chord diagrammed on the page. But, some adjustments (like number of frets and starting fret) will overwrite the existing diagram.
Number of Frets and Starting Fret
On the diagram tab you can adjust the fretboard layout in a number of different ways.
To adjust the number of positions or frets displayed, select the number of frets you want to display from the drop-down menu.
To select the starting position or fret of the note chart, select from the drop-down list of position numbers.
Note: each time you adjust the number of frets or starting position, you will overwrite the diagram.
Save as Default Diagram Settings
When you click the save button you will save all current diagram settings found on the diagram tab as your default display. That includes the fretboard width and height, note size, whether the chart is fretless, shows scale degrees, etc. (See below.) Each time you click save it will overwrite the previous settings and apply the current ones.
Fretboard Layout Adjustments
Diagram Height - Increase or decrease the height of your fretboard diagram.
Diagram Width - Increase or decrease the width of your fretboard diagram.
Note Size - Increase or decrease the size of the notes on the fretboard.
Show All Notes - You can view all the notes on the fretboard by clicking show all. To toggle between sharps and flats, just click show all again.
Clear - You can clear all the notes from the note diagram by clicking this button.
There are several toogle switches for fretboard adjustments:
Fretless - select between a fretted or a fretless note diagram.
Left-Handed - switches between a right-handed and left-handed fretboard diagram.
Show Fret Markers - shows the fret position markers on the fretboard.
Fret Numbers - show or hide the fret numbers at the bottom of the fret map
Scale Degrees - toggle between the notes on the fretboard written as letter names (C, D, Eb, F,...) or scale degrees (R,2,b3,4,...)
Page Settings Tab
On this tab you can toggle between landscape view and portrait view. Your fret board chart will print out precisely as it is displayed. You may need to adjust the size of your diagram to fit the page.
The page orientation will aslo be saved as part of your default settings set on the diagram tab.
Scale Settings Tab
On this tab of the interface you can select scales to display on the fretboard chart. You can display one scale at a time.
Overwrite Diagram - when enabled selecting a scale diagram will overwrite the notes of any selected chord diagram under the chord settings tab. If not enabled the scale you select will be combined with the selected chord.
Select Root Note - choose a root note for the scale diagram you want to generate.
Select Scale - choose a scale or mode to show on the fret board.
Here is a list of currently available scale diagrams from which to choose:
|Scale Charts
|major scale
|ionian mode
|dorian mode

Harmonics Settings Tab
On the harmonics settings tab you can choose to display or hide the natural harmonics on the fretboard. The harmonics will overlap any chord or scale diagrams already drawn on the fretboard.
To toggle the harmonics view between sharps and flats, click show all again.
Print Tab
On the print tab you can print out your fretboard diagram.
Click the print button and your page will go to your printer exactly as it is shown on the page. If you've used version 1.0 make note that the program now adjusts automatically to your printer settings. Don't adjust your printer settings for landscape.
Fretboard Printer FAQ
Is the fretboard note printer available in an offline format? Can I download it?
No. The fretboard printer is for online use only at studybass.com. It won't work offline.
Can I put the fretboard diagram printer on my website?
No. Why not just post a link pointing to this tool? The internet doesn't need duplicate content. Plus, I did all the work! :)
When will you add more scales and chords?
I'll add them as I have time. I bet if you really know the scales and chords already posted, you probably don't need any other scale and chord diagrams. :)
Eventually I will add some more unusual scales and chords.
Fretboard Diagram Printer Summary
I hope you enjoy the Fretboard Diagram Printer and find it useful! You can learn a lot from studying the note charts of the scales and chords. Most of all, don't forget these are patterns of sound, not "finger patterns". Always listen to what you are playing. Music isn't about how many geometric shapes your fingers can zip through at 200 bpm. Find music on the fretboard!
You might check out my bass lessons and music theory lessons (even if you're not a bass player!). I'm adding more lessons all the time.

Star Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold participated in a fan Q&A for The Wolverine today. The duo fielded questions from Wolverine fans all around the world and talked at length about their vision for the film, what fans can expect to see on screen, as well as some of the behind-the-scenes preparation Jackman underwent for this movie. The movie is still in production and Mangold comments that there are still some major pieces to shoot, but they had plenty to talk about!
The Wolverine, also starring Will Yun Lee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Brian Tee, Rila Fukushima, Tao Okamoto and Svetlana Khodchenkova, opens July 26th, 2013. Hit the jump for the video, quotes from the Q&A and a brand new official poster!
Here are the highlights from the Q&A, with the full transcript following after the video and new poster:
- The Wolverine takes place after the events of the other X-Men movies, finding Logan alone and isolated, but the film also exists in its own world.
- Jackman and Mangold want to make this Wolverine the most rage-fueled character you've ever seen.
- The Wolverine also takes Logan out of his comfort zone and drops in him Japan, subjecting him to a clash of cultures and the uncertainty of knowing whether or not he can trust the new people around him.
- This version of Wolverine will be more grounded in his physicality, less focused on over-the-top superpowers and will challenge him with a weakness that his enemies attempt to exploit.
- Wolverine will face a number of enemies, but continues to battle within himself, grappling with the loss of everyone he's ever known and the burden of living forever.
- Additionally, we've heard that The Wolverine will be getting a 3D release.
You can check out the video from the live chat between Jackman and Mangold for The Wolverine below. (Currently, it's on a loop.)
The transcript of the Q&A follows beneath this new poster from The Wolverine.
Q: Where does this story fit into the X-Men timeline?
James Mangold: This film situates itself after the three X-Men movies that exist and finds Logan at a point when the X-Men are gone, Jean Grey is gone, a lot of the ties he had to the world are gone. It was very important to me, I wanted to place this movie in a story where Hugh and I could allow it to create its own world. Not having to answer to another movie or hand-off to another movie, that we could kind of do what we wanted to do and take him where we were going to take him. I also think it's a really interesting place to find Logan, which is at this moment when almost every intimate connection he's had to the world is destroyed or broken.
Hugh Jackman: He's definitely at his lowest point at the beginning of this movie. You'll see him more vulnerable than you've ever seen him before. So it's a fantastic place to start and having Jim there has been amazing. We worked together before on Kate & Leopold, but he pushes me, probably like no one else does. It's been good.
Mangold: We have a lot of fun. For me, making a lot of dramas…on one side it's a different sort of challenge, and on the other, it's not a challenge at all, meaning that my goal is to try and bring the realism and acting you might find in a straight drama with the intentions and conflict, where it doesn't feel tongue-in-cheek, but rather committed and real.
Q: How did you grow that awesome facial hair?
Jackman: [Laughs] I'm not sure I'm proud of it. It's something I inherited from my father; luckily not the back hair as well. This is part of my heritage, that's one thing I can do relatively easily. In fact, in my sleep I can do it. [Laughs]
Q: If you could have any mutant power, which one would you pick?
Jackman: Definitely teleporting for me. Obviously, the amount we travel around, the ability to be *bang* anywhere would be fantastic.
Mangold: Mind-control, some kind of getting in peoples' minds. As a director…
Jackman: You've already got that! [Laughs]
Mangold: Just knowing what people are thinking, that would be scary…
Jackman: I can't even read reviews, let alone know what people are really thinking.
Q: What new life does The Wolverine bring to the character?
Jackman: I never thought I'd be playing one character for this long, but I have to admit, from X-Men, my secret dream was to always shoot this particular arc of Logan's story. From a very popular comic book arc, a samurai story set in Japan…Logan comes into it very much the tragic hero. As we've said, at the beginning of this movie, all the people that meant anything to him are gone. A lot of which he blames on himself. The movie's called The Wolverine, and what Jim and I talked about, we really wanted this movie to actually, better than ever before, encapsulate that character. Forgetting all the others, whatever happens afterwards, this movie needed to be the one where you finish watching it and go, "Right. I got that character." In every way: physically, emotionally, I had to go further. You have to see him lower, more desperate, more at stake than ever before.
Mangold: And more rage. I think the thing I want to see, for those who are fans of the comic, one of the aspects that is so huge for this character is his rage, anger. I think that for me, there was a lot of research and thinking about how to find that and tap into it, and also set up the story in a way…The Outlaw Josey Wales, was something I thought about a lot as I set out on this movie. It's a phenomenal film in which Clint Eastwood watches his wife and children murdered in the first three minutes. The reason I kept thinking about it is because of how neatly and concisely the setup of that film set Clint off on a journey that was built on loss and rage, not just depression and disillusionment, but a quest for revenge. That aspect of darkness was something I felt was such an integral part of the Marvel legacy of this character. It's easier to develop when a film is just about one character, rather than a team or a squad. You can really get inside Logan's shoes.
Q: How long have you been filming and where have you filmed?
Jackman: We've been filming now for three months and we've filmed obviously in Japan, the story is primarily set in Japan. We shot there for three or four weeks. We shot there on locations, we shot in Tokyo, obviously outside at Tomonoura at this fishing village, we shot in bullet train stations, we shot all over the place. It was fascinating and something I'll never forget. It looks incredible. The rest of it has been shot here in Sydney, on locations and stages. I'm as amazed and as proud as anyone to see how incredibly like Japan this looks. It's been fascinating and it's been great.
Mangold: Well, Japan for this film becomes like a kind of Oz that Logan travels to, like in The Wizard of Oz. It's this fever dream. The original Miller-Claremont comic was all these aspects of Japanese culture that are there, from Yakuza, to mobsters, to samurai, to ninjas…it's all there. So we tried to construct something very realistically acted and in some ways realistically looking, but also, what I always say to our production designer, kind of a fever dream. I also think it should be heightened some way or feel like it's more, like the volume knob has been turned up visually.
Jackman: This family dynasty that he walks in upon…this is one of the reasons I was so fascinated because Logan, in many ways, in essence, is the opposite of everything about Japanese culture. He's not about duty or honor or history or tradition or family, hierarchies, none of that. So it really sets itself up in many ways. The juxtaposition is just perfect.
Q: How is the level of danger established for Wolverine considering his healing powers?
Jackman: That's a really good question because you're always in danger with someone like Wolverine because he has his healing ability; unless you lop his head off, he's going to come back at you. Actually, in this movie, he discovers his kryptonite.
Mangold: Yeah, there's the kryptonite metaphor you could make. We're addressing that, meaning there is a challenge he faces that poses a challenge to him and makes it harder for him. I think that it's something we don't want to give away more about it now, but I think that we're very conscious of that. There's two aspects: one is what Hugh is alluding too, which is that some of the people Logan is up against might have found ways of getting to him that are different than we've seen before. But also, we've made a concerted effort to try and make the film more real, and to pull back a little on the super-duper abilities of Logan. He doesn't bring down any airplanes. He's grounded. I wanted the action in this film to feel physical and to feel possible for someone with his abilities. I think some of it is bringing it down to Earth in a way that is no less exciting, no less visually exciting, but less dependent on giant CG. Hugh, I have to say and me and the stunt team working on this picture, is, if not the most, than one of the most talented physical actors alive. He can jump into these fight sequences and the choreography, I think people are going to see, is amazing and physical and real, and he's doing it. There are some long takes where there is some badass stuff going on.
Jackman: The great thing that Jim talked about in the beginning and is a great thing to key in on is that, yes, he has claws and an adamantium skeleton and his healing ability. His ultimate weapon is his rage, his ultimate weapon is that thing in here. There are others that have stronger superpowers on paper, but who's the person you least want to annoy? Wolverine. And that's the thing that makes him badass, that's the thing that makes him cool and that's the thing we're trying to key in on. Not this inflation of powers, not the healing ability, but really when it comes to it, it's that berserker rage.
Mangold: We don't want to succumb to what's been going on for years now, which is almost like an arms race of action movies, when they try and out-do the spectacle and it keeps growing until you reach a ceiling. Music can only get so loud and then you have to do something different, it can't just be loud. In some way, what we're trying to do, sure this is a tentpole movie and there's outrageous action, but in the world of the Bourne films, or the Dark Knight films, films where it's not necessarily as about blowing up planet Earth, but the physicality of the action is something I think people will find really gripping.
Q: How did you intensify your training for this particular film?
Jackman: I started earlier, I started a long way earlier. Jim and I have been on this movie for two years. The script was ready, I knew we had the time. For whatever reason, I never felt I had the proper preparation time, with this I had it.
Mangold: You mean on past films?
Jackman: On past films, on past X-Men films. So I had no excuse. So I started earlier. I'm not getting younger, so basically I started training harder, eating better. I'll tell you, I rang my mate Dwayne Johnson and he gave me some great tips about eating, which I'm actually angry with him about. [Laughs] 6,000 calories a day. I've killed more chickens than I'd like. [Laughs] I'm really happy that finally I feel like, physically, what I see on film is how I saw it in my head. By the way, this is not a vanity thing, this isn't about looking buff. It's important that that rage inside is seen in his body, so it's not enough for him to be buff like he's gone to the gym; I wanted to see veins, I wanted him to be animalistic, I wanted not "pretty," but frightening.
Mangold: It's like a raw nerve. The physicality that Hugh has worked so hard to embody, when we get back to talking about rage and the physicality of the character, nothing speaks louder than his silhouette in a scene with lightning in the sky and you see the cut of his body and you understand that this guy can tear you apart.
Q: What sort of enemies does Wolverine face in this film?
Mangold: Yakuza, industrialists, politicians, women of varying degrees of "what are they? Who are they? Can I trust them?" It's a labyrinth. I think that one of the things we're trying to do in this picture, there's an array…other mutants…there's an array of people he will come in contact with, both good, bad and a question mark. I think part of the energy of the film…most superhero movies are eminently clear about who the "bad guy" is at the beginning and who the heroes have to battle to save this plot of land or group of people from the bad guys. This is a film where it is much more of a mystery or a labyrinth. Who can I trust? Where can I trust? It's part of what makes it so interesting that Logan enters the story trusting no one, because he then has to come through this array of people he meets in Japan of good, bad and indifferent.
Jackman: I don't want this to sound cheesy, but I think also, himself. More than ever we've explored this war within himself, which is so endemic, which is why people love the character. In this movie, we explore his immortality, the burden of that. At the beginning of this movie, he's finding it tough to find a reason to live. That essential battle goes with him throughout the movie and is one of the really important things.
Mangold: When I got involved with the project, one of the huge things that was inspiring to me was this aspect of, if you place the story after the other X-Men films where he's lost everything, and you're faced with the theme of the weight for gods, which that's what superheroes are in a way. The weight of forever. The heavy burden of living forever and what it means…The aspects of living forever and losing everyone you love, what is it like to live, essentially, forever? To keep trudging on, to keep rescuing humanity…
Jackman: I remember our first conversation, actually, you said to me, "Enough with the, 'I can't remember what happened to me…what was my past? Who am I?'" We've explored it enough. It's more like the future, how do I live with myself? How do I live with whatever knowledge I have and whatever's happened. By this point, there is enough knowledge…I thought that was such a fresh perspective and more interesting for people to follow as a storyline.
Q: Which Wolverine comics are your personal favorites?
Mangold: I actually love this saga. When I was in this world of collecting, it was the one that landed, both from a visceral level…I loved the artwork, the Japanese aesthetic with the Wolverine aesthetic. I loved the aspect that it was character based. I loved the whole saga and the whole world, but it was a tremendous opportunity when this came up because it was always a series I really responded to.
Jackman: Same with me. It's my favorite series on the Japanese samurai saga. But I also love Weapon X, he's just classic. I love it. Still would love to see that scene where his hair grows back and the technicians are like, "Look at his hair. My God! It's growing back!" That's the one bit I still want to see.
Q: What is your favorite prop from the set and do you get to keep any?
Mangold: Well, the swords…within the context of the Japanese world of it all, there are some really…when you see the movie and you see close-ups of these swords, they're incredible. The way the steel is manipulated…Japanese blades are beyond beautiful and they're made in this process of folding that produces almost like woodgrain in the steel. They're exquisite. The armorer and the weapons and props are amazing. The bone claws always make me smile. They're just something that is primal and primeval and speak to me about who Wolvie is at his base and what he came from.
Jackman: Of course, I've got a set of claws. I've actually got a few of those stashed away. [Laughs] I've actually been a fan of Japanese samurai armor for a long time…I find the Japanese armor to be so beautiful.
Q: If you could sum up the movie in a couple of sentences, how would you describe it?
Mangold: It is awesome. [Laughs] I'd say, Logan enters a labyrinth of mystery, adventure, violence, love, heartbreak…
Jackman: Go to the title. The title gives you a big clue about this movie. If you've ever liked the character of Wolverine, of Logan, this is the movie for you. It's called The Wolverine.
Mangold: It's 100%, undiluted Wolverine.
Jackman: You're going to see every side to him. There's going to be some surprises in there too. I just might want to add to that, having gone through it for 12 weeks and having played this role for 10 years, action-wise, this is going to be the most action-packed and new and exciting than there's ever been before.
Q: When can we see The Wolverine in theaters?
Mangold: The 26th of July, 2013, day and date around the world. And in the road to that, there will be trailers and things coming out to whet your appetite.

Synchrotrons provide flexible, powerful methods for learning about the structure and behaviour of matter at the molecular and atomic level.
A synchrotron is a stadium-sized machine that produces many beams of bright X-ray light. Each beam is guided through a set of lenses and instruments called a beamline, where the X-rays illuminate and interact with samples of material being studied. Many countries operate synchrotrons—there are 10 in Europe alone—but only four worldwide are similar to the ESRF in terms of design and power.

Merry Christmas! Here's a random sampling from last year of some of the better Christmas songs around.
"Come Around" - Mindy Smith I first learned of this song in a column by then Sun-Times rock critic Jim DeRogatis, who said it sounded like The Bangles. That's all it took to reel me in. Appearing on Smith's 2007 My Holiday CD, it offers ringing guitars and layered vocals in a catchy song that calls children, women, and men to celebrate Christmas by worshiping together.
"George Bailey" - Carolyn Sills It's interesting to find how many current holiday songs mention It's A Wonderful Life. Brooklyn-based singer-bass player Carolyn Sills goes them all one better by devoting an entire song to Frank Capra's classic flick and its put-upon hero. Set to an inviting arrangement that mixes twangy Country & Western music with a bit of the 1960s girl group sound, "George Bailey" merrily whisks us off to Bedford Falls. Sills notes that the character won her over as a kid, and she makes references to the grubby little town he tried so desperately to escape, as well as some of its better known citizens, like Mr. Gower. "George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I die," she sings on the chorus, echoing the words of Mary Hatch. "Every Christmas Eve, you make me cry." The song is available on iTunes, and there's also a very clever video for it on YouTube that uses vintage Betty Boop style animation.
The Pretenders - "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" Few singers in rock history could match Chrissie Hynde's ability to kick the snot out of you one minute and give you a warm hug the next. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," which appeared on the charity LP, A Very Special Christmas Vol. 1 in 1987, remains one of the best versions of this popular standard. With its spare but luxurious keyboards and evocative vocals, it serves as the Dr. Jeckyl to the Mr. Hyde of "Tatooed Love Boys" and "Precious." The Pretenders also created the touching Christmas ballad, "2,000 Miles," which was released as a single and has appeared on some holiday compilations. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "2,000 Miles"
can now also be found on The Pretenders' Holiday EP, along with "Blue Christmas" "I Saw Mommy Kising Santa Claus."
"What's This?" - Soundtrack of Nightmare Before Christmas A musical sleigh ride of quick rhymes and clever imagery, the fully orchestrated "What's This?" follows Jack Skellington through Christmas Town as he discovers a holiday that's completely foreign to him. Jack, of course, is more accustomed to the gross and ghoulish trappings of his domain, Halloween. "What's this?" he continually asks in amazement as he encounters snow, caroling, gifts and elves for the first time. "There are children throwing snowballs here/Instead of throwing heads/They're busy building toys/And absolutely no one's dead." This song is one of the better parts of a thoroughly enjoyable movie.
"Winter Wonderland" - Hello Dave The 1994 CD A Hello Dave Christmas With Friends aimed to raise funds to help children afflicted with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Imagine your car breaking down on a deserted country road while you're driving to some party on Christmas Eve. You walk to the nearest open venue, which happens to be a rustic bar. Hello Dave is onstage and has the local townsfolk up and dancing to its Country & Western versions of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "Silent Night," and other classics. "Winter Wonderland" rocks to the loping bass lines played by Willis Potocki and some spirited harmonies from vocalist-guitarist Mike Himebaugh and vocalist Paul Bolger. You call for a tow truck, but while you wait for its arrival, you're having a great time.
"We Wish You A Merry Christmas" - The Daugherty McPartland Group Several years back, a friend and I dropped by a couple we knew for a holiday visit a few days before Christmas. It was a Sunday night, and they had the WXRT show Jazz Transfusion playing on the radio. Maybe I was just in a festive mood, but those spirited jazz versions of holiday songs really made an impression on me. Acoustic Christmas, released by The Daugherty McPartland Group in 1996, has that same easy going vibe. Tim Daugherty's fluid piano playing takes center stage throughout the CD, but Dennis McPartland on percussion, Bob Thompson on saxes and flutes, and Jim Munro on bass are also impressive. People who enjoyed Vince Guaraldi's score for A Charlie Brown Christmas will find a lot to like here, and in fact, "Christmas Time Is Here" is included on Acoustic Christmas. "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" is both classy and fun, and like all of Acoustic Christmas, the perfect soundtrack for a friendly, holiday get-together.
"Double-0-Santa" - Seks Bomba The 2002 holiday compilation 50,000,000 Elves Fans Can't Be Wrong lives up to its title with a variety of fun tracks, and "Double-0-Santa" by the Boston based band Seks Bomba is one the best. This lounge tune mixes the concepts of a Secret Santa and a secret agent, with humorous results. "Mistakes are bad for business, says the man called Father Christmas, AKA Double-0-Santa," vocalist-guitarist Chris Cote reveals over a slinky guitar and keyboards arrangement. Santa isn't too cool to accept snacks, but it should be understood that he likes his "egg nog stirred, never shaken."
"Thanks For Christmas" - XTC Few bands can match the Brit trio XTC when it comes to crafting songs with clever lyrics and indelible melodies. "Thanks For Christmas" stands out on New Wave Xmas, a Rhino various artists compilation that also includes "2000 Miles" by The Pretenders and "Christmas Day" by Squeeze. Introduced with some triumphant horn playing, the catchy "Thanks For Christmas" finds XTC using gorgeous harmonies while creating scenes like Santa's reindeer resting after a hard-working Christmas Eve, and ecstatic kids decorating trees. "It's such a shame it's only once a year," the song notes. "Three hundred and sixty-four days full of doubt and fear/You've been saving your love up/Let it out/'Cause Christmas is here."

Stogies Cigar Bars and Bistro, Tennessee
So you're headed to Nashville and can't resist the urge to get in touch with your inner cowboy. Well, steer clear of Stogies Cigar Bar & Bistro in nearby Franklin. It definitely isn't the place.
There are no big-haired, crop-topped, poured-into-faded-denims types at this nightspot. Here, the air is sweetened by whiffs of spicy Coco Chanel and Padrons, not Final Net and Camel Lights. And there's not a single Stetson in sight. Consider it more Shania Twain swank, less Dolly Parton country.
Though Dolly, as friendly as she is endowed, has dropped in for dinner at Magnolias, the new restaurant downstairs. It's owned (along with Stogies) by one of Parton's fellow country divas, Barbara Mandrell. Set in the historic county seat of Franklin, which features rolling hills dotted with dainty magnolia trees, the bar is a haven for locals in need of a drink, and perhaps a smoke, after a long day at the office.
Stogies is cozy yet sophisticated with hardwood floors, dim track lighting, cocoa-colored walls and oversized leather chairs that beg patrons to sink in with a sigh. It's the kind of place where business associates can hunker down in a corner and seal a deal over a Dunhill Peravias ($13), or a couple can sneak a kiss while sipping a glass of Merlot.
Through ivory French doors, patrons can step through to the bar's large patio dotted with wrought-iron tables topped by hunter-green and gold-striped umbrellas. The towering maples and wooden railings drizzled with strings of white lights make it feel like an affluent friend's back yard, only larger. Tiki torches mask the aroma of cigars, appealing to those who don't light up.
Inside, the bar is well ventilated, leaving merely a hint of the sweet smell. The reasonably priced cigar list is extensive, though marred by too many no-name brands. A few exceptions are the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Exclusivo ($10), the Ashton 858 ($9) and the Partagas Sabroso ($9.75).
Most nights, the musical flavor is--surprise--jazz. On my visit, the snappy "Steppin' Out with My Baby" drifted out into the parking lot, beckoning patrons upstairs. But as the night wore on, the keyboard player unfortunately led the duo in a direction more Lawrence Welk than Tony Bennett. A few older couples didn't seem to mind as they dipped and twirled ballroom-style.
Many regulars prefer Stogies on Wednesday nights, when a younger crowd is drawn to the hip-swaying, sultry sounds of The CliffNotes, a group featuring guitarist Cliff Richmond and a full band that meshes blues, jazz, Latin and reggae.
Patrons come in khakis or suits after work, loosening the tie a bit, kicking back and ordering chocolate Martinis (a little too watered down at $7.50), Cosmopolitans (a better choice at $7) or imported beers. Women in casual dresses and silk pantsuits down wine spritzers and Manhattans.
"I come here kind of regularly with my boyfriend, but tonight is girls night out," said Elaine LaGarce, 46, who brought two friends to celebrate her birthday over a bottle of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay ($31) on a Saturday night.
"It's a Southern, outdoor place. The music is so relaxing and the service is great," LaGarce's friend, Bonnie Lattimer, 55, said. Her husband, left behind tonight, likes the selection of Vodka brands as well as the cigar offerings.
The food is a little pricey (a nothing-special salad at $8, a skimpy cheese and fruit platter at $9) but the spicy, Southern-fried chicken wings are worth the $12 and a modest portion of tender crab cake, one of the nightly specialties when I was there, is worth the $6.
As for dessert, the melt-on-your-tongue creme brulee and the chocolate brownie laced with a chocolate liquor sauce and partnered with ice cream (both $7) will bring you back a second time.
Those with heartier appetites should head downstairs. Magnolias is all Southern elegance, with white columns, sage walls and antique furniture. Fittingly, the food, according to chef and co-owner Richard Hamilton, offers "upscale Southern cuisine with a French and Creole twist." He invites dinner guests to sit at his table inside the kitchen and watch him work while feasting on a seven-course tasting menu ($75 a pop).
Though Stogies and Magnolias have healthy lives of their own, they do share customers.
"Stogies is classy. Good food, a little jazz, a patio and cigars," said Mike Bohannon, 28, while smoking a St. George Chivalry ($8).
"I had no intention of smoking a cigar until I came upstairs, saw the smoking lounge, the plush leather seats, and thought: 'Now this is the place to smoke a cigar!' "

Finalist One Year, Winner the Next [1]
In what the Academy of American Poets [2] calls an "unprecedented concurrence," the sole finalist for the 2008 Walt Whitman Award, J. Michael Martinez, was just named winner of the 2009 award. Judge Juan Felipe Herrera [3] chose Martinez's collection, Heredities, from nearly a thousand anonymous entries. It will be published in the spring of 2010 by Louisiana State University Press [4]. Martinez will receive five thousand dollars and a one-month residency at the Vermont Studio Center [5]. The Whitman [6]is given for a first book of poems.
Last year, judge Linda Bierds [7] selected Martinez as the only finalist and named Jonathan Thirkfield the winner for The Waker's Corridor; whereas this year Herrera chose Martinez and named Keith Ekiss ("Pima Road Notebook") and Sarah Elaine Smith ("I Live in a Hut") finalists.
Which contest do you think Ekiss and Smith will be sending their manuscripts to next year [6]?
Martinez, who was born and raised in Greeley, Colorado, received an MFA from George Mason University. His poems have appeared in New American Writing [8], Five Fingers Review [9], the Colorado Review [10], and Crab Orchard Review [11], among others. He lives in Boulder and teaches literature, critical theory, and cultural studies at the University of Northern Colorado [12].

Georgia head coach Mark Richt will have another key position to fill on the starting roster this fall after losing a defensive starter to a transfer. Cornerback Shaq Wiggins is leaving the Bulldogs via transfer, according to Seth Emerson of The Telegraph.
"Shaq and I have been talking over the last few days and a fresh start is what he believes is in his best interest," Richt said in a released statement, according to The Telegraph. "We respect his decision and certainly wish him nothing but the best."
Wiggins, as a freshman, started eight games for Georgia last season, one that was riddled with injuries up and down the roster. He recorded two interceptions and was responsible for the only defensive touchdown of the year for Georgia.
Depth at defensive back is still not a concern for Georgia. Following the loss of Wiggins, Georgia still has 11 players at cornerback on the roster.
It is unknown where Wiggins will go from here. If he wants to play football this fall though he will have to transfer to a program at the FCS level, because NCAA transfer rules would hold him out a season if he transfers to another FBS program.

Weight loss
My husband has realised that, like me, he needs to lose a lot of weight. Can anyone suggest a menu plan please. This may be my chance to steer him away from meat! Many thanks
I just read this book:
The McDougall program for maximum weight loss by John A. McDougall; recipes by Mary McDougall.
It has recipes and more important - explains the basics of how our bodies work so that you can make your own healthy vegan menu for weight loss.
Thrive forward is a great program to try. Remember to transition in gently to a diet with less processed foods. Remember that slip ups happen but just keep on trying and you will find what's right for you.
Anyone heard of the book Skinny Bitch? Changed my life physically emotionally and spiritually....
Help, just went Vegan and gained 3 pounds! I do eat a lot of oats. does anyone think that may be a problem. I eat either steel cut oats or a homemade granola (oats, seeds, nuts, aagave, coconut) for breakfast and sometime i have the granola for a snack. I have a vegi sandwich on daves killer whole wheat bread for lunch and usually a salad and bean soup or pasta for dinner. Carrots, almonds, raisins, oranges for snacks. my husband went vegan only a few days a week and of course lost 4 pounds and i gained 3. I just thought i would lose weight.
I have successfully lost 12 pounds recently since changing my diet. If your gaining weight (or simply want to lose weight) try to limit sugar, processed foods and simple carbs. Eat complex carbs but do not overcompensate by eating more than the recommended daily amounts. Fill up on fresh fruit and veggies. Changing your diet can be challenging task at first so start slowly and excerice a little more. Allow yourself to have treats twice a week so you do not burn out.
The documentaries Hungry For Change and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead are very informative and motivating.
Also, I use a free food tracker program on www.sparkpeople.com to monitor my daily intake of calories, carbs and protein. You can also track your exercises, read articles and have access to a large database of recipes including vegan.
Good luck with your weight loss efforts :)
Forgot to mention that planning healthy meals in advance has been key to losing weight. If I do not have a plan in place then it is so easy to go back to bad habits. I recommend making 5 salads or veg base soups prepackaged for lunch for the week. A week or two worth of menu planning in place too. Also, I keep veggie stir fry in the freezer and lightlife tofu hot dogs in the fridge so always something my my family and I to eat just in case.
Dear members of this community nice discussion about weight loss so i am saying thanks..
