- What does this mean?
Behold the latest Chapman signature guitar - the ML1 Rabea Massaad signature model. Made for Dorje & Toseland guitarist Rabea Massaad, the ML1-RM is based on the popular Chapman ML1 but with a few cool tweaks!
First: the body is made from Alder rather than mahogany, making it a little lighter and snappier sounding. Then we added a 1000 Series Floyd Rose trem & locking nut system. The neck is made of maple with an ebony fret board, with a slim & fast feeling profile. We also designed a set through neck joint that was custom hand sanded by Rabea to give him the exact feel that he wanted.
The pickups are genuine USA made Seymour Duncans with an SH1-59 in the neck and a Floyd spaced SH5 Duncan Custom in the bridge. Rabea requested that we remove the tone control, so you just have a simple volume pot that can be pulled out to coil split the pickups. The guitar features a quilted maple veneer and is finished with a beautiful and understated wax finish that allows the guitar to resonate vibrantly & will also age nicely. The ML1-RM will include a Chapman deluxe gig bag.
The edges around the top of the guitar are slightly rolled to give extra comfort to the inside of the right arm when playing.

A message from Rabea about his guitar
Hello People!
It's Rabea here. First of all it should be recognised that I am so grateful for the opportunity to create this amazing guitar with Chapman Guitars, so thank you Rob and Lee.
As some people may be aware, I am a huge Nuno Bettencourt fan, and I have used the N4 guitars for about 5 years now, I love them to death! i swore i wouldn't ever use any other guitar.... however I never dreamed that I would be in this situation, when someone says, "we'll make you a guitar" I thought to myself, "I know it would be an N4 inspired guitar, but how could I change it to something I felt had more 'Me' in it"
My first guitar was a Washburn X-50 which some may know, it has a quilted maple top, an X inlay at the 12th fret and was a great, great guitar! Thus I decided to fuse the things I liked the most from the X-50 and the N4 and put them together. Having the looks of the X-50, but with the foundations of the N4 AND... It worked out GREAT!!! I couldn't be happier with the result and this guitar really holds its own in feel, looks and tone!
It will age amazingly with a wax finish, the quilt is glorious yet understated and the neck is so similar to my N4, it literally feels like the same guitar.
The only thing that I couldn't do the same was the Stephens Extended Cutaway feature on the N4 guitars. I asked for a double spoon cut instead to give me upper access. When proto 2 came back, it was SO close, but the spoon cut on the back was just a little thin in width. so I sanded it to my comfort and feel. Now it's literally perfect! I couldn't be happier.
I urge you to try one of these guitars out, for the money, it feels insane and it sounds incredible! Coil taps, double humbuckered floyd loaded axe of alder and ebony WIN!!!
Thanks for looking and happy playing :-)
It's important to keep your Chapman guitar safe and sound from the big bad world! A hardcase is great for long distance journeys or if you are touring, it's worth protecting your investment! Check out the Gator Deluxe ABS Case in our related items, it snugly fits all ML-1 Chapman guitars.

Awesome guitar, amazing value for money

Incredible value, high end components well put together. Sounds size as f*ck. The finish is very unique, a waxed quilt maple veneer which has an interesting holographic ripple effect, the grain looks different from every angle, stunning. Everything works perfectly.

No complaints about the staff in the shop - atmosphere was relaxed and helpful. The set up of the guitar I bought wasn't so great. The tremolo and the intonation were both quite badly out. Possibly my own fault for not checking before I left but a little disappointing given I'd driven an hour or so to buy the guitar as opposed to buying it online.

Great guitar, very easy to play. Sounds fantastic and arrived perfectly set-up. Slight amount of dirt where the fret board meets the body, a few scratches on the faces of the humbuckers, and it could have been better-finished where the top has been routed for the humbuckers and tremolo, but these points are barely visible.

It's not a bad guitar but the neck profile was not as advertised and didn't feel right in my hand. So I returned it.
James | Purchase date: 24 August 2013
I'm loving this guitar. It's a really sounding beast and I would buy another at the drop of a hat if I had the cash to spare. Hopefully it will be a long running product or maybe have another release in a different colour in the future.

Badass Axe!!! I wish I could afford two for different tunings. Hopefully they will do more than one run of these as it is a truly awesome guitar. Props to Bea!

guitar is brilliant! (br/)quality is amazing (br/)cant believe the price (br/)only only one small thing,it is bright sounding guitar (br/)going from a gibson traditional to this was wierd at first (br/)will most likely swap out bridge pickup with something a little less bright (br/)but they did say it was copied after the washburn n4 so i expected it. (br/)other then that i cant put it down!.they would charge double or more if it was a washburn or a prs,absolute bargain for the money ,i will be buying another chapman soon :)

guitar came in flawless condition, in tune and with a perfect set-up, couldn't be better!
Jonathan | Purchase date: 29 July 2013
Been interested in what Chapman has been doing for a while but I already have a variety of guitars around the £1,000 mark so they didn't seem necessary. Then I saw this with Seymour Duncan's and a Floyd Rose but not the usual glossy soulless guitar that can sometimes go with them. I knew I'd cave and buy one! I really couldn't find anything else for this money.
My EC1000 has EMG's and is too metal for me. I have a battered '76 Strat which has a great tone but is tough to play and fights back too hard sometimes.
This ML1 Rabea is exactly what I wanted. Great tone either clean or distorted. I love the finish (not laquered) really easy to play with its highly polished neck. And in this current hot humid weather its the only guitar I have that is staying in tune, even with Trem abuse.
Only slight negative for me, which is fixable, is the height of the action passed the 12th fret. I don't know if this is common with all Floyd Rose equipped guitars as its the first one I've owned. Just didn't expect it to be higher than my old Strat.
Overall, I love it. I think it will age well and I can see it becoming my 'go to' guitar for years to come.
So, now you're making a name for yourself Bea how about a few on-line lessons :)

Education and duration of employment relationships
March 10, 2005
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLS79) show that individuals with a high school diploma or higher were more likely to have had an employment relationship lasting at least 5 years by age 30 or 35 than were high school dropouts.
Even though high school dropouts left school the earliest, were in the labor market for the longest time—and therefore had the most time to start down a career path—they were the least likely to have had lengthy employment relationships. Only 36 percent of high school dropouts had held a job for 5 years or more by age 35.
In contrast, those with at least some college or a bachelor's degree made the transition to lengthier employment relationships the fastest. By age 35, 66 percent of those with some college and 63 percent of those with a college degree had held a job for 5 years.
These data are from the BLS National Longitudinal Surveys program. For additional information, see "The transition from school to work: education and work experiences," by Julie A. Yates, Monthly Labor Review, February 2005.

Creamy Chevre and Crème Fraiche Chowder Recipe
Today felt like a scene from Frost's poem "Lodged," as the rain said to the wind, "You push and I'll pelt." Fat drops crashed on black umbrellas all morning long. What can one do to stay dry and content in the endless winter deluge? The way this Examiner sees it, one has two choices. Simmer up some soup or build and an ark.
A piping bowl of any homemade soup banishes the winter chills. For a creamy, filling meal on a particularly bleak day, choose chowder. This Examiner grew up with New England chowda, but chowder makes a delicious supper no matter how one pronounces it. A friend of mine in California suggested a creamy base augmented with some of my favorite goat cheese. The crème fraiche adds a smooth, tangy taste. (Never used it before? One can find it near the cheese in gourmet shops and better grocery chains.) Enjoy this modified version of her favorite stormy day meal.
Creamy Chevre and Crème Fraiche Chowder Recipe
- 2 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
- ½ teaspoon butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium sized potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cups of chicken stock
- 2 cans of yellow corn
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ tablespoon dried dill weed
- 1 cup crème fraiche (thickened cow's milk cream)
- 4 ounces Chevre (goat cheese)
- Baguette, toasted and sliced
- Cook the bacon in a small amount of butter first, rendering the bacon fat from it over medium heat. Remove the bacon from the pot, drain it on a paper towel, and set it aside for later.
- Sauté the diced onion and potato cubes in the bacon fat for about three minutes.
- Stir in the corn and the accompanying liquid.
- Add the chicken stock and cover.
- Simmer on low to medium heat for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, so that the potatoes soften.
- Stir in the milk, the pepper, and the dill.
- Cook for five minutes, stirring intermittently (do not let the chowder boil).
- Slowly and gradually, stir in the crème fraiche.
- Stir in half the bacon.
- Ladle chowder into soup bowls. Add two small pieces of fresh goat cheese to each bowl.
- Garnish with the remaining bacon and serve with the toasted baguette.
- Warm up to family and friends.

Tallgrass Brewing Company out of Manhattan, KS notified fans on facebook this morning about a new beer they are about to release. If you visit the brewery's website they don't identify what that beer is, but they do provide a hint as to what it may be. That hint is the image of a wheat penny. Also, maybe a month ago, there were some images of a new Tallgrass beer label appearing on the web. So it is pretty obvious the new beer is probably this Halcyon Wheat.
If you recall when Tallgrass first started, their lineup included a wheat beer. It was later discontinued shortly before the brewery switched from bottling to canning their beers. This move didn't seem to disappoint too many Tallgrass beer drinkers, the original wheat beer didn't set well with some. But it only makes sense that a brewery in Kansas have a wheat beer in their portfolio and Tallgrass is giving another shot.
With possibly a new recipe, more experience, and the switch to cans, this wheat beer will hopefully create even more Tallgrass Brewing fans. Warmer weather is hopefully on its way, and a refreshing wheat beer in a can will be the perfect summer drink.

Pet ownership can make us healthier. In a recent article for HealthNewsDigest.com, writer Michael Shaw explains some historical evidence showing a long association with humans and pets. As far back as the 9th century, animals were documented as a type of therapy assistant, often to physically impaired people.
In 1999, an article was written by two nurses from University Hospital in Cardiff, Wales, entitled "An exploration of the potential benefits of pet-facilitated therapy." Authors Sarah Brodie and Francis Biley provided a historical perspective on the subject, invoking Florence Nightingale, among others. This article is one of the hallmark looks at how pet ownership can improve human lives.
According to Thomas Canby, in his 1979 National Geographic article entitled "The Search for the First Americans," dogs may have been domesticated by American Indians more than 30,000 years ago. Domesticated dogs from early times were probably not just pets, but worked along with early humans to hunt deer or other food sources, sound warnings, protect their human companions, and work as pack animals.
In modern terms, pet ownership provides humans opportunities to improve their health and well-being several ways.
• Improved cardiovascular health----Having a pet can lead to lowering blood pressure and stress reduction. Interaction with your pet seems to help you live longer. Alan Beck, ScD--director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University--notes that besides making you feel good, petting your cat or dog also soothes your pet.
• Positive outlook----People with pets are generally happier, more trusting, and less lonely than those who don't have pets. They also visit the doctor less often for minor problems. Allen R. McConnell, PhD--professor of psychology at Miami University of Ohio--explains: "One reason for that may be that your pet gives you a sense of belonging and meaning. You feel like you have greater control of your life."
• Baby's immune system----Babies raised in families that have pets may be less likely to get allergies and asthma. In addition, babies with dogs or cats at home have fewer colds and ear infections during their first year than those living in pet-free homes. Beck notes that the pets have to be in the home early on, ideally before a baby is six months old.
• Pets and ADHD----Owning and caring for a pet can help kids with ADHD burn excess energy, learn responsibility, focus, and self-esteem.
• Physical fitness--- Dogs need walking. When humans walk their dogs, they receive the benefit of mild, regular exercise. This can help shed pounds, strengthen muscles, increase endurance, and improve mood. Playing with cats can improve body flexibility, stretch muscles, and increase the heart rate for a bit, all of which help with movement related health benefits.
• Service dogs have special abilities--- Service dogs have saved many human lives, from warning them of impeding dangers, to getting human help in emergency situations, to helping disabled humans in countless ways on a daily basis.
Humans bond with their pets on many levels. Pet parents want their animal companions to live healthy lives. Feeding pets an animal based diet, free of harmful ingredients, and balanced for dogs' and cats' specific health needs can help them live a long, full life.

Consider a sample of cross section A across which a thermal gradient exists.
T2 and T1 are the temperatures measured over a length ÄL.
Let Q be the quantity of heat flowing through A as shown in Fig. 1 below.
Figure 1
Now, thermal conductivity K is given by the ratio of the heat flux Q/A to the
thermal gradient ÄT / ÄL.
The heat flux can be measured directly or indirectly. These methods are:
The heat flux has to be uniaxial in all these methods and hence
radial heat loss or gain must be minimized by methods such as insulation.
The length of a sample is influenced by the magnitude of the thermal
conductivity. When the thermal conductivity of the sample is high, the amount of
heat flowing is high and the heat lost from the sample's lateral surface is
small. As a high temperature gradient is established in this case, it is
possible to measure it accurately.
On the other hand, samples with low thermal conductivity (and correspondingly low
heat flux) are usually of a smaller thickness, which is sufficient to generate
an accurately measurable thermal gradient. Smaller thicknesses also mean less
lateral losses. Sometimes, self-guarding is provided for lateral surfaces by the
use of additional pieces of the sample material.
For low temperatures, the sample is packed inside insulation to minimize
heat losses or heat gains along the radial direction. Installation of a guard,
which can be controlled to have a temperature gradient same as that across the
sample, is often required at high temperatures.
At such high temperatures, heat losses are difficult to control. Therefore,
the ratio of conductance of the sample to the conductance of lateral insulation
becomes significant, as does the quality of guarding.
Here we discuss a few methods of measuring thermal conductivity of solid
materials at temperatures ranging from sub ambient temperatures to 1500°C. These include:
Axial flow methods are especially deployed at cryogenic temperatures and
produce consistent, accurate results. Radial heat losses are negligible at such
low temperatures.
For sub ambient environments, the absolute axial heat flow method is
suitable. In this method, the electrical power applied to the heater has to be
precisely determined.
The comparative cut bar method, which is widely used for determining axial
thermal conductivity, is based on the principle of comparing thermal gradients.
In this method, heat flux is passed through samples of known and unknown
Figure 2
A sample of unknown material is sandwiched between two reference samples as
shown in Figure 2. If KR is the thermal conductivity of the reference
samples and KS that of the sample of unknown material, the heat flux
through the unknown sample can be calculated from the expression:
The guarded/unguarded heat flow meter method, which is deployed in many
testing instruments, is based on a flux gauge, which functions similar to the
reference samples used in the above method. The thermal conductivity of the
sample of unknown material is given by:
Thermal conductivities of building insulation materials are determined using this method.
Another widely used method for measuring the conductivity of insulations is
the guarded hot plate method. The samples used in this method are larger.
Three different measurement apparatus are required for carrying out thermal conductivity measurements at room temperatures, low temperatures (up to -180°C),
and high temperatures (600°C or greater), respectively. The most common
symmetric configuration in which two specimens sandwich the heater assembly is
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
Thermal conductivities of materials such as insulating bricks, powder or
fibrous materials are measured using this method. Thermal properties of liquids

Case Details
During the period from 1999 to September 2001, Defendants Bradley and
O'Dell lured a total of five seasonal workers from Jamaica to work at defendants'
tree removal company in New Hampshire. On
two separate occasions, the defendants travelled to Jamaica to recruit workers.
The men who agreed to come to the United States were promised wages of between $10-20
per hour and lodging on defendants' property.
Once in the United States, victims were paid less than the promised
wage and were housed in substandard conditions. Force example, the first two
workers were forced to live in a camping trailer which initially lacked basic
necessities like running water and heat. To maintain control over the victims,
the defendants subjected the workers to verbal assaults, threats, and and physical
abuse. Defendants also confiscated victims' identity documents and plane
tickets. When one of the initial
recruits fled to New York, Bradley, in the presence of the remaining worker, threatened
to travel to New York with his gun to track down the runaway. After the defendants recruited a second group
of workers to New Hampshire, O'Dell told the three men that Bradley
planned to hire someone in Jamaica to "destroy" the victim who fled to New
York. Defendants also impeded the victims'
access to medical care and closely monitored their movements outside of
defendants' property.
Eventually, several workers fled the property and contacted local law
enforcement. A federal jury convicted the defendants on a number of counts
related to the forced labor scheme. In
January 2004, Bradley and O'Dell were each sentenced to 70 months imprisonment.
An appeals court vacated
defendants' sentences and remanded the case for more proceedings to address
possible mitigating circumstances that might have reduced defendants' sentence. In 2006, the district court declined to alter the sentences.

Sweet-and-Sour Fish (Stegte Fisk i Eddike)
From EatingWell: May/June 2008
Marinating "fried" white fish in a zingy vinaigrette is a terrific way to liven it up (and preserve any leftovers). The flavors get better with time; make it ahead if you can. It's traditionally made with herring in Denmark, but works nicely with any firm-fleshed, smaller white fish, such as catfish or tilapia. You can serve it warm—it's delicious on its own—but we like it best chilled and served as an ingredient on sandwiches.

Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers Protecting the Injured and Abused
When you are seriously hurt because someone else was negligent, it can be very frustrating and you will be faced with many questions. Will you be able to recover from your injuries? Who will cover your mounting medical bills? Will you be able to support your family? Are you in danger of losing your job? It is aggravating as you attempt to find some answers and determine what needs to be done next to hold that person liable. You do not have to be alone. Our Chicago injury lawyers can help you and your family.
Anyone, at any time, can suffer a traumatic, life-altering injury—as the result of a car accident, medical mistakes, a mishap at a construction site, a defective product, or other accidents. These injuries can be bad enough when they involve broken limbs and an extensive period of recuperation; they can be catastrophic when the brain or spinal cord is involved. It is important to contact an experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer if this were to happen to a loved one.
We Have Recovered Millions of Dollars in Damages for Our Clients
At the Chicago law firm of Lane & Lane, we focus on the most severe Illinois injury cases, often involving brain or spinal cord damage or complex medical malpractice lawsuits, and make it our mission to recoup the highest possible damages for our clients. In fact, we have recovered millions of dollars for our clients. Working with our clients and their families, we have helped them find the medical treatment they need and other resources to guide them in their recovery from devastating injuries.
Our Team Has Decades of Experience Pursuing the Toughest Chicago Injury Cases
Our Chicago accident attorneys have a long history of success representing clients who have suffered serious injuries resulting from:
- Brain and spinal cord injuries. Injuries can vary greatly after an accident, but some of the gravest ones involve the brain and spinal cord. If you or your loved one has suffered a brain or spinal cord injury in Illinois, because of someone else's carelessness, you need to be aware of your rights. We know your rights and are prepared to fight for the compensation you are owed.
- Birth injuries. The worst types of birth injuries often occur because of the negligence of the doctors, nurses and hospital personnel who were supposed to be guiding you through the miracle of birth. These cases are especially serious, since your child and you have no choice but to live with the lifelong consequences. You deserve more than consequences and we are on your side.
- Medical malpractice. A doctor's mistake or a hospital negligent treatment, honest or otherwise, can have catastrophic results. Incidents of medical malpractice in Illinois may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix—if, indeed, repair of the injury is possible. Who will pay the enormous medical bills that result and take responsibility for this terrible mistake? Our Chicago personal injury law firm's resources, skill, and highly qualified experts will see your case through from beginning to end to make sure your rights are protected.
- Car and truck accidents. If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a Chicago auto accident, it may be possible to recover damages from another driver, your insurance company, or others, depending on the specific circumstances of your injury claim. We will investigate all avenues to find real solutions to the issues you face.
- Premises liability. Injuries at a school, store, or any type of building or dwelling, may entitle the victim to damages from the structure's owner, or from any party responsible for the accident. The same concept applies if you were injured in a fire or explosion. This type of case falls under premises liability law.
Why You Should Hire Our Chicago Injury Lawyers
The attorneys at the law firm of Lane & Lane, LLC have over 130 years of combined experience representing people, like you, who have been injured through the fault of others. Our accident attorneys have written numerous legal books and articles and trained other legal professionals on trial techniques and medical litigation. We know personal injury law and have gained recognition for our successful results.
Our Chicago law firm will work closely with you during every stage of your personal injury lawsuit. We make it a practice to assign two lawyers, including at least one partner, to every case, and our staff is available around the clock via phone and email. As our client, you won't be treated like "just another case." We are a family-owned law firm that strives to take care of you and your family as we would our own.

Paul Teske is Dean and University of Colorado Distinguished Professor at the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver.
(These views represent the personal opinions of the author and may not reflect the position of the University of Colorado Denver or the University of Colorado system).
As we start summer – the real, post-Memorial Day, school is out, summer – it is worth reflecting on the near-term future of education funding in Colorado.
The legislature recently finished its session, which focused mainly upon budget cuts. Both higher ed and K-12 took cuts, but in the end, these cuts were somewhat less than some feared (higher ed), or less than the original level of cuts (for K-12). Remarkably, as the session ended, the fact that that cuts could have been worse seems to have been spun as mainly good news.
EdNews recently linked to new U.S. Census data that ranks Colorado's per pupil K-12 spending (all revenues divided by number of students) as 40th among the 51 states (including DC). That 2008-9 data is now two academic years behind – two years, by the way, full of deeper cuts in Colorado (and some cuts in some other states, too, to be sure). Consistent with other data on this subject, the Census Bureau shows Colorado spending about $2,000 per pupil below the national average.
I will leave it to others to figure out more precisely what $2,000 per pupil could buy. It would seem, in a single class of 25 students, even if only two-thirds of funds were spent in the classroom, it would buy $33,000 worth of extra instruction for the students in that single classroom – a para-professional, lots of useful technological aides, or whatever students need most.
As we look ahead to fall 2011, districts and schools will face the legislature's budget cuts, and it will be interesting to see the reactions. In the meantime, a few noteworthy events will occur.
First, the Lobato lawsuit, about whether Colorado's K-12 funding is "adequate" under the "thorough and uniform" clause, should be heard in August. While court decisions are somewhat unpredictable, it is possible that the Colorado Supreme Court will rule K-12 revenues to be inadequate. Should they make that decision, the next step would be somewhat unclear – as courts have limited enforcement powers (not zero powers – the New Jersey Supreme Court, after several rulings on school finance, and legislative inertia and stalemate, eventually forced budgetary actions).
Second, State Sen. Rollie Heath's (D-Boulder) proposal will likely be put on the ballot. Heath proposes to to roll back tax rates to the rates of the late 1990s, a period of a major economic boom in Colorado (yes, that rolling back involves a tax increase from current levels).
While passage may not be likely, no tax increase proposal in Colorado is ever likely. There is a self-fulfilling prophecy element here as well – many potential supporters are not yet on board, because they fear defeat or believe that voters have "no appetite for new taxes," but all that could look different in November, if the Lobato plaintiffs win, the economy continues to improve, and parents see the results of the latest budget cuts as their children return to school with larger class sizes, fewer programs, fees for buses, fees for extracurriculars, etc.
Third, the lawsuit against TABOR (the Taxpayer Bill of Rights), started by Herb Fenster, will move forward, now with lots of signatories from both parties. This argues that TABOR has gutted the representative form of government for the state of Colorado. While also perhaps a long-shot, there is logic to the argument.
I have previously proposed consideration of the hypothetical CIBOR –the Citizens Bill of Rights. Under CIBOR, the legislature could not cut any programs that affect Colorado citizens (where cuts are defined in real dollar terms, per affected citizen), without a vote of the citizens.
Most people would say that CIBOR is ridiculous – how could the legislature be bound by such constraints, as it needs to balance the budget? And yet TABOR pretty much does the same on the spending side. So, as silly as CIBOR might seem, it is just the symmetrical, mirror-image of TABOR. In either case, the power of the legislature is substantially restrained.
Fourth, a committee made up of key foundations, non-profits, and other stakeholder groups is examining the school finance act, with a potential "reform and resources" agenda. While past legislative commissions on school finance, in 2005 and 2009, were unable to come to actionable consensus, perhaps this outside group can move such an agenda forward.
So, the legislature is done for 2011, but funding issues will continue to evolve.

Inspired by the rape of his sister in 1989, Michael J Domitrz wanted to make a difference on the very uncomfortable subject of sexual assault. It became his quest to learn everything he could about the subject and then teach others about this serious topic. He became an expert on sexual assault, creating projects, books, DVDs, and other media to teach others about sexual assault.
In his book, May I Kiss You, Mr. Domitrz offers an in-depth look at dating, communication, respect and the importance of sexual assault awareness in a very fun to read and knowledgeable format.
According to Mr. Domitrz, "people do not notice their own behavior until they are given a new perspective." His book prepares the reader with a healthy way of thinking about dating and offering interesting prospectives by challenging the reader to respond to scenarios and questions. And also including links to tools at the end of each chapter for students, parents and teachers on his website at www.mayikissyou.com.
Each chapter offers informative discussion, scenarios and interactive exercises that can help create more in-depth awareness about making dating a more positive experience. Mr. Domitrz in his book discusses how body language alone is not reliable and can be sometimes confusing.
This book can be used as a tool to use as a point of discussion for all ages. The information in this book is very informative, and can change the way you think about dating, and especially how body language is not reliable when it comes to dating. The key to successful dating is communication and respect.
I highly recommend this book for all ages, but especially teens because of it's very easy to read language and format.

My first blog post was on September 14, 2007--not a very awe-inspiring first post. But there it is. Most of my followers, though, have arrived in the last 12 months. My intentional blogging really started this past year.
I started the blog to keep a record, for myself, of my writing journey. My writing has evolved since then, as has the blog. And the focus of my writing has changed too. I've gone from writing short stories for my daughter, to picture book manuscripts. Then I moved to writing nonfiction and Young Adult. My writing career has come full circle as I've recently had some professional interest in a picture book manuscript I wrote several years ago (check back soon for something official).
I want to celebrate my followers. I'm almost at 100--which seems like an incredible milestone. I want to pay it forward. I've had so much support and encouragement from the blogging community. I loved Amie Borst's recent 150 followers celebration. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious!
Here's what I have to offer:
2. An autographed copy of Stacy DeKeyser's JUMP THE CRACKS
3. My own TAURUS VIRGO & CAPRICORN: ALL ABOUT THE EARTH SIGNS (autographed, of course)
And for anyone who wants it: a critique of your query letter--I'm not an expert, but have had some interest from my own YA query letter, so I like to think I might have something helpful to offer. Leave the text and your email address in the comments. Or if you'd rather not leave it publicly--let me know and we can exchange email info.
The Rules:
You have to be a follower (new or old!). And please put your preferred order of prizes in the comments. Contest closes at midnight on Friday, February 18, 2011.
Tweet, Facebook, or Blog -- and please put each link in a separate comment box for an additional entry. I don't know how to use the fancy points system. I'll use simple random number generator, so each entry needs to be in a separate box.
And thank you to everyone for the support and community I've found through my blog!

No Super Bowl party would be complete without the usual spread of chicken wings, chips and dip, buckets of ice cold beer, and of course, salsa. After all, munching on junk food, getting a bit tipsy, and throwing any semblance of a New Year's resolution out the window as comically enormous men battle on a field of grass is half the fun. While it may be tempting to simply pick up a few jars at the store, pop them open come game time, and call it a day, it's really not that hard to do a whole lot better.
Choose from one of six winning salsa recipes featured here to keep the party going strong, including FoodNetwork.com's charred tomatillo margarita salsa, a tequila-spiked twist on the traditional salsa verde; a mushroom salsa from New York-based gourmet food purveyor D'Artagnan, fantastic on its own and even better on top of a juicy slider; and Denise Woodward's grilled pineapple salsa, for those who are lucky enough to live somewhere still warm enough to fire up an outdoor grill.
FoodNetwork.com's Bloody Mary guajillo salsa
The flavors of the classic cocktail — tomato, Worcestershire, and horseradish — are a great match for the smokiness of guajillo chiles in this vodka-spiked salsa recipe from FoodNetwork.com.
Roasted tomatillo salsa verde
Barbara Kiebel, author of the blog Creative Culinary, roasts tomatillos in the oven to accentuate their flavors in her easy salsa verde recipe.
D'Artagnan's mushroom salsa
D'Artagnan, a purveyor of fine gourmet meats and food products to top restaurants in New York, created a fantastic mushroom salsa that's not just good as a dip, but also as a topping for steaks, sliders, and burgers.
Mango-habanero salsa
This is a tropical salsa recipe I developed that's one of my favorites. It's fairly spicy, but the sweetness of the mango balances everything out, and it's very addictive.
Grilled pineapple salsa
Denise Woodward shares her grilled pineapple salsa on Chez Us for those lucky enough to live in warmer climes where grilling is still an option. A surefire hit at the party.
FoodNetwork.com's charred tomatillo margarita salsa
FoodNetwork.com offers a tequila-spiked twist on the traditional roasted tomatillo salsa verde in this crowd-pleasing recipe which features smoky poblano peppers.

Feb. 26, CHS-PAWS of Hayti proudly announced they've been awarded a grant from the Petco Foundation to help fund their "Helping Hands" program.
The Helping Hands program helps to feed, provide shelter and emergency vetting, low cost spay and neuter, and food on a temporary basis, for pets of families in financial distress.
"The program has helped over 500 animals since its inception in 2013," said Karol Wilcox, President of CHS-PAWS. "The funds from the Petco Foundation will go directly to the Helping Hands program and free-up donations that can now be used for high utility bills, animal care, and sheltering needs. We have a long standing relationship with the Petco Foundation and have received other grants when we've been in need."
"This grant is a true blessing and couldn't come at a better time. Because of the bad weather, tough economic times, and high unemployment in our county, people have more and more difficulty taking care of their family pets. With this grant we are able to provide relief to pet owners and help them to keep their pets in their homes when they may otherwise not be able to."
The Petco Foundation has served as a voice for companion animals across the country since 1999. Today, with more than 8,000 local animal-welfare partners across the country, the foundation donates approximately $15 million a year to make a difference in the lives of millions of animals.
The organization is funded through donations raised during fundraisers conducted in Petco's more than 1,200 stores across the country, as well as from Petco associates, vendors and corporate contributions. Money raised helps fund animal-welfare organizations, spay and neuter efforts, animal-assisted therapy programs and humane education. The majority of the funds raised remain in the communities where they were raised, and the Petco Foundation is also involved in many national animal-welfare efforts.
In 2012, the Petco Foundation surpassed $100 million in funds raised for companion animals since the organization was created. To learn more, visit www.petcofoundation.org.
CHS-PAWS works with Petco on the local level as well. "We are pleased to have a great working relationship with the Petco store in Cape Girardeau, Mo. for the past five years," Wilcox says. "The store has been so supportive with allowing us to have adoption events, answer our questions about training and grooming, and the employees are very supportive of us."
CHS-PAWS is a non-profit, 501(c)3, no kill, animal shelter located at Hayti, Mo. You can find CHS-PAWS online on their website or on Facebook.

A 911 cell phone can mean the moments between life and death in a violent relationship. A person being abused has a small sense of power when being victimize knowing that they can call help. In partnership with Phones 4 Charity, local domestic violence assistance organization Laura's House is recycling cell phones to raise essential funds for programs assisting their clients. For each phone donated Laura's House will receive a donation based on the make/model of the phone.
None of the phones end up in landfills - they either get recycled or reprogrammed for use by domestic abuse victims as 911 phones. It's a great way to support Laura's House, so that they can continue to help the thousands families who rely on us right here in Orange County each year.
Have old cell phones collecting dust? You can donate them at any location on this list.
Want a different way to help? Hold a drive to benefit Laura's House at your work or school or know a business or workplace that is interested in collecting phones for us? Send an e-mail to get started.

Godinez High student wins national honor
SANTA ANA – Frank Cabada, a senior at Godinez Fundamental High School in Santa Ana, was one of six Latino high school seniors nationwide honored at the Hispanic Heritage Foundation's 14th annual Youth Awards.
Cabada received the national ExxonMobil Engineering and Mathematics Award during a ceremony last month in Beverly Hills. Singer Pepe Aguilar was on-hand to congratulate the aspiring engineer.
Cabada has maintained a 3.97 CPA at Godinez and plans to major in mechanical engineering at UC Berkeley, Stanford or MIT.
In March, he received a scholarship from ExxonMobil at the regional Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards in Los Angeles, and from there was selected for the national honor. One national recipient was selected in each of the six categories.
The Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards were created in 1998 to identify future role models by celebrating their accomplishments in the classroom and community.

Install Friends App (Gwibber Rewritten In QML) In Ubuntu 13.04 Or 12.10
Gwibber, the microblogging client available by default in Ubuntu, has been rewritten in QML recently and is now called Friends App. Also, Gwibber Service (the backend) and the Gwibber Unity Lens have been replaced with "Friends Service" and Unity Friends Lens and the new packages have landed in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail for a while, but they didn't work properly, at least for me, until a couple of days ago.Gwibber used to be installed by default in Ubuntu, however, the new Friends App isn't (though the Friends Lens is installed by default) available by default in Raring and I'm not sure if it will make it, but you can easily install it via Ubuntu Software Center. Below you'll find instructions for installing the new Friends App in Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04.Here are a few Friends App (and Unity lens) screenshots:As you can see in the screenshots above, the new Friends App uses the Ubuntu Phone OS design so it's not exactly optimized for the desktop: there's no longer a menu (to add your Twitter, Facebook, etc. accounts you must go to System Settings > Online Accounts manually), at least for now, or toolbar and there's a large "Timeline" text on top

Well, that jukebox my Mom says I have in my head is at it again! See, I grew up watching Sesame Street and The Muppets. Thinking back, that Jim Henson is truly a genius, isn't he? Remember the song "Mnah, Mnum" from The Muppets? You know, it goes ... "Mnah, mnum, do-do-do-do-do. Mnum, mnum, do-do-do-do." My Mom and I used to sing that song whenever we were cooking and something turned out really good.
So why am I talking about this song now? Because these Black Bottom Cupcakes deserve to have that song sung for them!! Yup, they're that good. Dark chocolate cupcake with a chocolate chip cheesecake center ... Oh. My. Gracious. Amazingly delicious. And we owe my Mom for this fabulous recipe - I have no idea where she got it, but I'm so glad she shared!
So, in honor of these cupcakes and all the great times I've shared with my Mom in the kitchen, here's Animal (and a few other Muppets) singing "Mnah, Mnum." I love Animal! He was always my favorite. Take it away, Muppet friends!
Thanks for indulging me on that! Animal always cracks me up.
Okay, time to step off Memory Lane and come on back to baking cupcakes. It's hard to believe, as delicious as these cupcakes are, that they're so easy to make.
First, mix up a simple cheesecake batter ... cream cheese, an egg, a bit of sugar, and some mini chocolate chips. Set that aside ...
|Batter for the cheesecake center
|Chocolate batter
|A perfect pair!
|Cooling ... the toughest step.
... and then dig in! I love how the cheesecake just peeks out on the top, but then is a really big ol' hunk of cheesecake when you bite in. De-lish. I bet Animal would destroy the whole batch in about 30 seconds flat!
Black Bottom Cupcakes
Source: My Mom
(Printable recipe)
Cheesecake center:
1 c. cream cheese
1/3 c. sugar
1 unbeaten egg
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. mini chocolate chips
Chocolate bottom:
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1 c. water
1/3 c. oil
1 T. white vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
Prepare the cheesecake center:
1. Combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, egg, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Beat well.
2. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
Prepare the chocolate bottom:
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cocoa. Add water, vinegar, oil, and vanilla; stir to combine.
4. Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners. Fill each cup 1/3 full of chocolate batter. Top each with a heaping teaspoon of cream cheese mixture.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes. Makes 18'ish.
I always seem to have extra cheesecake batter. I drop a 'Nilla Wafer, an Oreo, a crushed up graham cracker ... or whatever I have on hand ... into the bottom of a couple of cupcake liners as a crust, top them with the leftover cheesecake batter, and bake these up as mini cheesecakes right along with the cupcakes. I've even used a couple of animal crackers as the crust! These make-shift mini cheesecakes are quite tasty, too.

In The Giver, Lois Lowry portrays a society whose rigid rules have reduced life to a nearly robotic existence and stripped it of individuality and diversity. The society also forbids human feelings, choosing instead a Receiver to bear the weight of human experience through a mysterious process of receiving memories.
The Receiver passes on memories to his successor, Jonas, whose worldview crumbles as he experiences everything from the horrors of war to the joys of childhood. No longer blind to the moral flaws of his idealistic society, Jonas must make a decision about the rules he has taken for granted.

Bruin junior Chanelle Van Nguyen played her first-ever match at the No. 1 singles position on Tuesday, dropping just one game en route to a 6-0, 6-1 victory over April Scatliffe. Sophomore Kyle McPhillips was equally as impressive at court No. 3, winning 6-1, 6-0 over Jaimee Gilbertson. The Bruins would go on to win the remaining four singles matches in straight sets.
UCLA started the day with a pair of 6-1 victories at court Nos. 1 and 2 to claim the one point awarded for doubles play. Court No. 3, where UCLA was leading 4-3, was suspended once the point was clinched.
Tuesday marked the first match for both teams where the new dual-match format imposed by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association was used. There was no warm-up prior to singles or doubles. The three doubles matches were played to six (instead of eight). Also, a 10-point tiebreaker instead of a third set for singles was in effect had it reached that point.
UCLA returns to action this Friday, hosting San Diego at 1:00 p.m. The match is part of ITA Kick-Off Weekend. Also visiting the LATC this weekend are TCU and UC Irvine.

how I create playlist for MSC to read internal and external
this is for creating playlist to play songs from
internal and external on the Fuze.
(sorry if this is a rehash but I never found it here)
for the FUZE with a 4Gb memory card installed
the Fuze is configured for USB as a MSC
Fuze firmware version 01.02.26A
computer is running Windows XP SP3.
I've spent hours reading various news groups and
trying different recommendations so, if you have
better idea I might try it, but I need to get other
things done. if you have issue with this document
like "I have no Idea what your saying" please,
let me know. (I think it makes sense, but am tired)
"MUCH thanks to all those who spent time on groups
asking questions, asking help, giving ideas, and
writing a wonderful scripts. all have helped
make this where it is now."
software needed:
usbdlm.msi or usbdlm.zip
I used usbdlm.msi from
I downloaded it from
I downloaded it from
I downloaded it from
1: I installed "Playlist Creator 3" (use what ever playlist
creator that will work). I doubled clicked
PlaylistCreator3_Setup.exe and installed it.
2: I installed "FuzePLAConvert.zip" by unzipping it to a directory.
I installed it in "C:\Documents and Settings\
<wife>\My Documents\My Music\<where FuzePLAConvert is>\".
3: I installed Python by double clicking
4: I installed usbdlm.msi by double clicking, however
I'm still working on getting it to work the way I
want it to.
5: plug in Fuze. you will need to note the drive letters
for FuzePLAConvert configuration
6: now configure FuzePLAConvert. go to the directory
you installed it in and edit FuzePLAConvert.cfg
(refer EX:4) edit as needed
6: now configure "Playlist Creator 3.6" you need to
to set (can also be done when creating playlist)
where .m3u file will be saved
7: you are now ready to create playlist for you Fuze.
refer to the following instruction I gave to my wife.
usage instructions for my wife:
--------------------Begin wife's instructions------------
1. connect "Fuze" through USB,
verify the drive letters are "SANSA FUZE" L: and
"SANSA MEM" M: if not refer to "Change Drive
At this point you can create playlist and convert them.
2. open "Playlist Creator 3"
3. drag the files from the "Fuze" to "playlist creator"
adjust playlist order as needed, when done save it
in .m3u and save it in "C:\Documents and Settings\
<wife>\My Documents\My Music\<where FuzePLAConvert is>\playlist\".
4. next go to the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\
<wife>\My Documents\My Music\<where FuzePLAConvert is>\playlist\",
next you must change the extension from .m3u to .m3u8
so FuzePLAConvert.py can use it.
5. now verify the playlist has absolute paths "H:\MUSIC\
misc\01-Gin Blossoms - Til I Hear It From You.flac".
(refer EX.
You CANNOT have relative paths. (refer EX:1)
6. Now double click "FuzePLAConvert.py" on the desktop,
this will run the tool which will convert any .m3u8
to a .pla and save it in "SANSA FUZE"\PLAYLISTS\
(refer EX:2,3).
you should now be able to run the playlist and it will play
from both INTERNAL an EXTERNAL files.

FuzeDrive: L:
FuzeSDCard: M:
PlaylistDirectory: C:\Documents and Settings\<wife>\My Documents\My Music\<where FuzePLAConvert is>\playlist\
"Change Drive Letters"
the best way to fix the issue would be to change the
drive letters of "SANSA FUZE" "SANSA MEM", however
for simplicity sake, edit "FuzePLAConvert.cfg"
and put in the correct drive letters (ex:4).
"SANSA FUZE" is "FuzeDrive:"
"SANSA MEM" is "FuzeSDCard:"
--------------------End wife's instructions--------------
from what I can tell you can save it any where and
it will be read. your .m3u can only see files from
the drive that the .m3u is on
.m3u and .m3u8
.m3u is and ASCII plain text file
.m3u8 indicates a unicode version of it.
The configuration is the same however,
the conversion utility uses the unicode
version of the playlist.
.pla I don't know know why its used as a place holder
the creator of FuzePLAConvert spent a lot of time
and knows a lot more about it than I do.
of course I have to thank my wife. To make her happy
I went through all this. left to my own devices I
would have had separate .m3u's for internal and external
and just lived with it and been ok with that.
I do hope this will help others, if not my wife is happy
so life is good.
|[Remove Advertisement]
Looks like some good instructions to me, but as a person who doesn't make playlists I did skip some of the details (like all the EX:# stuff).
So, if you were willing to have two separate playlists all this wouldn't be necessary?
as I said I did it for my wife. I just hit shuffle and am happy
but since I went through all this for her. I'm sharing my work.
now she's lamenting that her bluetooth headphones cant be used.
sigh; theres only so much I can do.
in answer to your question (sorry hit reply to fast)
.m3u playlists in each (internal and/or external) are all you need
the .m3u just have to reference files on the device (internal or external)
the instructions were to access files on both with 1 playlist

The Delaware Division of Public Health warns potentially contaminated epidural steroid injections, which have been linked to fungal meningitis, may have been used in surrounding states.
Delaware did not receive the potentially contaminated injection from the manufacturer and there are no known cases of fungal meningitis in the state. However, the product was shipped to Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Infected patients show symptoms approximately one to four weeks after their injection. Symptoms include fever, new or worsening headaches and nausea. DPH recommends medical providers check to see if the lot numbers below were used in their practice: Methylprednisone Acetate (PF) 80 mg/ml injection, lot #05212012@68, BUD; #06292012@26, BUD; #08102012@51, BUD.
The DPH will provide updates with information that impacts this state as it becomes available.
