7 Famous Works of Art With Bizarre Mistakes You Can't Unsee
An enormous bronze colossus of Pennsylvania founder William Penn has stood atop the clock tower of Philadelphia City Hall since 1894. Although hard to discern from a lower angle, the statue itself is pretty tall. Standing at 37 feet, it remains the tallest statue atop a building anywhere in the world. So yeah, Philadelphians can always stoke that fire when their favorite sports teams let them down... at least until Dubai catches onto them.
What's another 38 feet?
Then again, their statue probably won't be sporting a hand-dick.
The Screw-Up:
Leave it to Philadelphia to find a way to turn something the whole city should be proud of into a bottomless well of embarrassment.
Sculptor Alexander Milne Calder assumed everyone in the city would be viewing his statue from a low angle...
However, what he failed to consider was that most Philadelphians would be viewing the statue from any other angle than the base of City Hall. As long as you look at the statue from 1 Penn Square, all is cool. As for the rest of the city, the William Penn statue has become a bit of a running gag. Check out how the outstretched hand looks from prominent city locales such as JFK Plaza:
Yeah, he's got his dick out. And it's a considerable dick at that.
Though even if that enormous penis looming atop the city was an accident, it sure doesn't explain the look on William Penn's face.
This actually might be the least unsettling thing about Philadelphia.
All right, we promise that's the last hidden dick of the article.
#2. Rembrandt's Dick-Grabbing Shadow Hand
Wait, one more.
De Nachtwacht by Rembrandt is a masterpiece of countless hallmarks of the Baroque period, among them dramatic chiaroscuro effects, dim lighting and the most fabulous boot-stocking money could buy.
Wait a second... look up a few inches.
The Screw-Up:
Because of the emphasis of lighting and shadows in Baroque art, stuff like this tends to get noticed...
Some dude's shadow is totally going for the junk-grab there. Scholars swear that this shadow is not an intentional dick joke on Rembrandt's part.
But still... it's a painting, not a photograph. How does something like that happen by accident? Rembrandt just randomly chose to have Captain Frans Banning Cocq (yes, Cocq) cast a shadow that totally makes it look like he's making a grab for Lieutenant so-and-so's McNuggets?
After all, light and shadow were everything in paintings like this. They could capture mood, evoke emotion or, in this case, denote strength, hope, victory, ugly women, dead chickens, camaraderie and bromance. However, none of these masterpieces of artistic endeavor change the fact that Captain Cocq totally looks like he plans on rounding third base on his first date with the Lieutenant.
#1. The Crazy Horse Memorial by Korczak Ziolkowski
Korczak Ziolkowski's enormous sculpture is supposed to depict a famous episode in Native American history when the Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse was asked by a white man, "Where are your lands now?" Crazy Horse responded by pointing into the distance and adding somewhat tragically/badassily: "My lands are where my dead lie buried."
"...right under that hotel."
The Screw-Up:
As Cracked has helpfully pointed out before, hand gestures do not mean the same thing from culture to culture. Depending on where you're standing, a thumbs-up can mean everything from "Good job!" to "This is going up your ass, whether you like it or not."
In India, it means "Refreshment."
Ziolkowski, for instance, portrays Crazy Horse pointing with his finger, which is about as dignified as if he was pointing to where his dead lie buried with his dick. Pointing with your finger is considered "rude and aggressive" across most Native American cultures. This complete lack of research into such a prominent landmark is yet another reason why groups like the Manataka American Indian Council compare the monument to George Washington "picking his nose" on Mount Rushmore.
Maybe if they'd built it facing D.C...
It only gets worse when you combine this with what we have pointed out before about the hypocrisy of the memorial (that is, to create it, they're destroying a mountain the Native Americans consider sacred). The whole thing is the equivalent of England digging up the Gettysburg National Cemetery to make room for a statue of George Washington giving America the finger.

An industry coalition has emerged in response to the new USP requirements. The authors are a subgroup of the Coalition for the Rational Implementation of the USP Elemental Impurities Requirements, and herein, state their position on USP's new chapters and the pending harmonization of heavy metal limits and procedures across the bio/pharmaceutical industry.
Background: Compendial and regulatory changes affecting elemental impurity limits in pharmaceuticals
As has been reported previously in Pharmaceutical Technology, the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) has published changes to control the levels of elemental impurities in bio/pharmaceutical drugs, scheduled to become official on Dec. 1, 2012, with an implementation date of May 1, 2014 (1). Specifically, these changes are included in two new USP General Chapters: <232> Elemental Impurities—Limits, and <233> Elemental Impurities—Procedures (2, 3). These chapters will replace USP General Chapter <231> Heavy Metals (4). Because USP requirements apply to all products in the marketplace through USP–National Formulary (NF) monographs, the changes will have a significant impact on pharmaceutical manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and others involved in the supply chain. Determining exactly how to implement these requirements, through a combination of analytical testing and risk assessment, is already consuming a good deal of effort and resources in the industry.In addition to USP's activities, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) is working on a new guideline on metal impurities, ICH Q3D, to complement existing harmonized guidelines on organic impurities (ICH Q3A and Q3B) and residual solvents (ICH Q3C) (5). There is broad industry support for development of this guideline—indeed, the initial proposal to establish the ICH Q3D working party was made by industry (specifically the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association of America [PhRMA] and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations [EFPIA]).
The ICH effort is especially valuable because it will ensure that consistent requirements will be applied by regulatory agencies throughout the affected regions: Europe, Japan, and the United States. However, the ICH metal impurities guideline is in an early stage of development and the working group is still gathering feedback from affected parties. An initial draft of the ICH Q3D pre-step 2 document has been circulated for comments. The approved guideline will not be available before 2014.
Of note, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) also has a guideline pending, Specification Limits for Residues of Metal Catalysts or Metal Reagents, which becomes effective for all pharmaceutical ingredients in September 2013. The EMA guideline, focused on metals deliberately used in manufacturing, has strongly influenced related USP and ICH efforts.
Meanwhile, USP has maintained its intention to make its requirements for the new General Chapters effective May 1, 2014. USP originally planned to make implementation effective September 2013, but based on feedback from the industry, the organization delayed it until May 2014 (6). This delay does not impact the real issue, which is the disconnect between USP and ICH. There is a real concern among many in the industry that USP requirements will differ significantly from those that will eventually be applied with the finalization of ICH Q3D.
The International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council of the Americas (IPEC–Americas) is leading an industry coalition* to address these issues (see section on "Coalition Activities" below).
USP staff has stated in industry forums that it will make every effort to ensure that USP's requirements align with those of ICH, and it has already updated acceptance criteria for various metals to agree with the initial draft from ICH (6). However, until the final ICH guideline is approved, it is the authors' view that USP cannot accurately predict its contents.
As a result, manufacturers will have to implement USP's elemental impurities requirements, which call for new analytical procedures, specifications and specification limits, and then later revise practices to meet the later, finalized ICH upon acceptance and publication by FDA, EMA and other regulatory agencies. The potential impact that this will have on the industry is described in detail later in this article.
It is important to note that it is not the intent of either the coalition or the authors to express any concerns with the ICH or EMA implementation strategies or timelines, but rather to voice concerns for both the strategy and implementation timelines communicated by USP. The primary objective of this article is to present a case for harmonization of requirements in USP with those in the upcoming ICH guideline, and to encourage USP to act responsibly in its implementation plans to ensure the safety of patients without causing unnecessary expense, confusion, and potential drug shortages.

Is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father? It's a pretty simple question, so I don't really know if there is much I can add to the body.

See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I will answer from the Trinitarian perspective.
The two terms are synonymous...
...and yet, while the Father "is spirit"...
...the Father is not "the Holy Spirit."
If the Holy Spirit was just the Father in His spirit form, then He would in fact be speaking on His own initiative. Since Jesus makes it clear that the Spirit will not speak on His own initiative, but will do what He is told (basically), that indicates there is One with more authority who is "over" Him.
Conclusion: From these passages we can conclude that "the Holy Spirit" is not the Father (though the Father "is spirit") and yet, the "Spirit of your Father" is synonymous with "the Holy Spirit." Perhaps the best explanation is that the Spirit is "of" the Father in the sense that He comes forth from the Father, without confusing the two as if they were one Person.
(Although I'm willing to answer my own question, no one should let that deter them from also submitting an answer. Also, for the record, I'm a Trinitarian.)
Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father. This is proven by many scriptures.
Synoptic parallelism
If we examine the following synoptic parallelism, Luke and Mark identify the one speaking in the apostles as the "Holy Spirit," but Matthew identifies it as "the Spirit of your Father" (i.e., "your Father's Spirit"). Therefore, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father.
In De Trinitate ("On the Trinity"), Book XV, Ch. XXVI, St. Augustine wrote,
which is translated as,
As Augustine notes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of both the Son and the Father. Other scriptures in the New Testament also prove this.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father:
The phrase "of Him who raised Jesus from the dead" refers to the Father. "The Spirit of Him" dwells in the Christian. "He who raised Christ from the dead" is the Father. "His Spirit" is the Father's Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who dwells in the Christian.
The Holy Spirit is frequently referred to as "His Spirit," where the possessive pronoun "His" evidently refers to the antecedent "God the Father" (cp. Num. 11:29; Isa. 48:16; 1 Cor. 2:10; Eph. 3:16; 1 John 4:3). Therefore, the Holy Spirit is the Father's Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Son:
I personally have always pictured the trinity in a particular way, that helps me understand it. I don't believe there's anything biblical to say 'this is how it is' but I don't think it contradicts anything that the Bible says either - if it does I'd appreciate someone pointint that out.
I generally see:
They are all God, like you consist of multiple parts (body, mind, soul), it is difficult to reconcile these things together but combined they all describe who you are. The same is true for God, all these combined represent who God is.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say "No", the Holy Spirit is not the Spirit of the Father. That would imply the Father is something comprised of Spirit and something(s) else, or that the Holy Spirit is lesser than the Father or the Son. The general idea is that all three persons of the trinity are co-equal and co-eternal. The Bible is pretty clear that God is Spirit. That means all the persons of God are Spirit.
It doesn't help that the basic creeds describe the Son as begotten by the Father, or the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father and from/through the Son, as those terms imply causation and temporal ordering.
The way I think about it currently is there is one uncreated nature which is God (I find using terms other than "being" or "person" is helpful to disambiguate what we're talking about). The Father personifies the Will or Way of God, the Son personifies the Reason or Truth of God, and the Holy Spirit personifies the Life of God.
If Adonay is referring to the Father, yes.
Is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father?
Yes, That is the part of God that carries out the word of God, or the will of God. God speaks his word and the Holy Spirit makes sure it get don't according to God's will. Genesis 1;2 The Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water, waiting for God to speak.
Even today the Holy Spirit is waiting for you to speak God's word, It is hard to be effective witness with out it, in you to carry out God's will. Acts 1; 4,5 this tells you that you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit or you witness will be weak. John baptized with water you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire. The world is still happening and it still needs witness, to be a effective witness you need it. We didn't walk with Jesus we didn't see Jesus were not call to be apostle, No but you are called to be a witness. Not a run down and kick in the head witness, But one who has the power of God following out of them to destroy the works of the enemy on the Earth. Read Mark chapter 4 again Don't Kick people or hit them over the head with it either hit yourself over the head with it. Then learn to love people with it. It works.

I was wondering if it would be possible to shorten the distance between detectors when measuring the speed of neutrinos to, say, 7m rather than the current ~700km? In this way the distance traveled would be known directly. Something similar to the coincidence measurements we now do when studying positronium. Is there a limit to the technology used for timing of events or it is only a matter of technical development and there's room for achieving a greater accuracy than the currently known?
This is not really an answer to the question in the title, but a description of why the proposed short baseline neutrino speed measurement is exceedingly difficult. It related to the question in the sense that it explains the limits of the precision with which $\delta t$ can be extracted in a neutrino experiment, without even touching on the kind of ultra-high precision timing work that NIST and related bodies like to do.
Getting very high timing precision is possible in many instance, but neutrinos pose a few special challenges.
By the way, if you are thinking that OPERA seems under-optimized for this measurement, that's because it is. This is a parasitic measurement that simply takes advantage of a machine designed to measure neutrino mixing parameters in the $\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ appearance channel, and the need to unambiguously identify $\nu_\tau$ charged-current events (by unambiguously observing the $\tau$-lepton) drives the design of the detector.
To answer the question in the title, $10^{-15}$ seconds can be measured routinely with optical combs (see here for a review). According to Wikipedia, processes in the tenths of a femtosecond can also be measured.
EDIT: As Georg pointed out, a frequency comb would not be useful for measuring time-of-flight of particles between two distant locations (and possibly not even for short distances? I don't know).

ACT or SAT?
Q: I'm an eleventh-grader trying to decide whether I should take the ACT or the SAT. I am beginning to freak out because the test registration deadlines are soon and I just don't know which way to go. Will taking practice tests help me do better on test day? I'm so stressed I don't know what to do.
A: Don't let those test blues get you down! The key to the standardized testing process is to develop a plan that will work well for you.
The first step is to learn what tests the schools you're interested in require. Some schools will prefer the SAT, others may specify the ACT, and still others will indicate that scores from either test are acceptable. You may want to plan to take both in order to cover all of the possibilities.
The formats of the ACT and SAT are a bit different. The ACT includes academic tests in four areas -- English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. The SAT has seven sections that are designed to measure verbal and mathematical abilities. As a junior, you are in a perfect position to develop a smart testing plan.
Juniors should participate in the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Taking these tests will help you practice for the SAT and get you in the running for consideration for college scholarships. When you receive your scores on the PSAT, you will also be given your actual test book. Using the in-depth score printout and the actual test questions afford you a terrific opportunity to prepare for the SAT or ACT.
I recommend taking the SAT and/or ACT in the spring of your junior year and again early in your senior year. There are seven test dates offered during the school year. Some students choose to take the test more than twice.
Many students have questions about practice and test-prep programs. I think that any practice that a student does is helpful. Both the ACT and SAT provide free sample tests -- including test-taking tips -- that are available in your high-school counseling office. Plan to pick up practice materials when you ask for your registration packets. Both the ACT and SAT also offer software designed to assist students.
Feeling stressed out about these test is entirely understandable, but you should also realize that they're just one more part of your educational experience. Plan well, read the tips on good test-taking skills, get a good night's sleep before each test, and go in with the attitude that you will do your very best.

Apparently some of the works of Rabbi Steinsaltz were banned. What are the specific examples that prompted the ban? Is there a list of all of his works that have been banned, as I am interested in knowing if this ban is limited to his previous works or if it applies to his new shas project with Koren publishing as well?

I have an old copy of The Jewish Observer that discusses the ban. It seems a couple comments in his translation of the Talmud implied that certain sages ruled consistently in a particular fashion (e.g. stringently) because their personality inclined in that direction. Some were worried that readers would infer that the sages were allowing their personal biases to influence their rulings, and doubt their authority. However, this does not appear to have been the intent of those comments, but merely to point out the consistent pattern among the sages' rulings. To my knowledge, none of his other works were banned.
My Rabbi once told me that HaRav Shach ZSWQ"L didn't like the idea of changing the Surat HaDaf of the Gemara.
The Internet was also banned, so if one is paying heed to bans, it makes little sense being on the Internet inquiring about it.
But, as for what prompted the ban, perhaps two factors were in play:
1) As Rav Mordechai Gifter said about Adas Korach:
2) As one commenter in the a Hirhurim thread writes:
Any other details are secondary.

Texas bound? Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has spent a lot of time trying to improve the University of Connecticut, as well as the state universities and community colleges. Gov. Malloy argues upgrades will allow these institutions to attract more students from Connecticut and beyond. Improvements may increase enrollment, but there is a significant factor the governor doesn't seem to have considered. Most people work in the private sector, but Connecticut has long been hostile to business and industry. Gov. Malloy's relentlessly anti-business and pro-government worker policies have made the situation worse. Unless the additional students plan to enter the public sector, they are unlikely to stay in Connecticut, and contribute to the state's economy and tax base. So, are we educating future Texans?

(Whitesburg, KY) - The United States Geological Survey says a magnitude 4.3 earthquake struck at 10:18am CT this morning eight miles west of Whitesburg in Letcher County.
The epicenter of the quake was located a little over a half-mile under the Appalachian Mountains near the Virginia border.
No reports of damage have been reported but officials with Whitesburg Police and Fire departments said they felt the ground shake for what seemed to be about 15 seconds. The tremor was also felt at the National Weather Service office in Jackson.
Many South Central Kentuckians also reported feeling the tremor from the quake as far west as Todd and Logan counties. Additionally, there were numerous reports of tremors as far north as Cincinnati and as far south as Atlanta.

In light of the recent destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy, six Louisville restaurants and bars have united in an effort to help the many men and women in New York City's foodservice business who were left homeless and without income due to the devastating storm.
Susie Hoyt, beverage director and bartender at the Silver Dollar, and fellow Silver Dollar bartender, Jared Schubert, drew up the idea of serving the iconic New Orleans cocktail, the Hurricane, and received permission from their bosses to donate drink proceeds to relief efforts. The two also began recruiting other restaurants and bars to join in the effort.
This week, a different restaurant or bar will sell Hurricanes each night and donate all proceeds toward Hurricane Sandy relief, starting Tuesday night, Nov. 6, at Decca in the Nulu neighborhood.
"Hurricanes for the Hurricane" will take place:
Tuesday, Nov. 6 – Decca, 812 E. Market St.
Wednesday, Nov. 7 – The Silver Dollar, 1761 Frankfort Ave.
Thursday, Nov. 8 – St. Charles Exchange, 113 S. 7th St.
Friday, Nov. 9 – Molly Malone's, St. Matthews, 3900 Shelbyville Road
Saturday, Nov. 10 – Meat, 1076 E. Washington St.
Sunday, Nov 11 – RYE on Market, 900 E. Market St.
Some participating restaurants are going even further to help. The Silver Dollar's servers and bartenders have agreed to donate 100 percent of their tips earned on Wednesday to the effort. The owners have also agreed to match however much is donated, in addition to proceeds from the Hurricane cocktails. The employees of St. Charles Exchange also will donate tips.
More Lousiville establishments may be added to the line-up as Hoyt and Schubert continue to recruit.

I've read this which outlines the advantages of using submodules in git to use one centralized preamble .tex to be used for all future LaTeX document. When the preamble is changed, all documents compiled subsequently are affected.
This sounds great, but the git part is very poorly explained, and I haven't had any luck finding a guide that does this successfully. I even bough the Peepcode guide, but it's pretty bad.
I know this is a part-git-part-LaTeX question, but the question is specifically directed at LaTeX work management.

Cyber Attacks Bring Call for Help
WASHINGTON—American businesses want more help from government officials in fighting cyber attacks, although they continue to oppose government-prescribed safeguards, MasterCard Inc. MA -0.80 % Chief Executive Ajay Banga said on Tuesday.
Mr. Banga is head of the information and technology committee at the Business Roundtable, a trade group that is set to start a push Wednesday for closer cooperation with Washington on computer security.
The effort is, in part, intended to head off a push by some policy makers for more regulation of private sector computer security. Last year, business interests helped soften and ultimately defeat a Senate cybersecurity bill that would have created a new regime of voluntary cybersecurity standards. Since then, American banks have continued to fend off harassment from Iranian hackers.
The White House is preparing an executive order that could press some companies to do more to secure their computer networks, and Congress may take another stab at passing legislation this year.
Some lawmakers and security officials say it may be necessary to impose requirements on companies to protect critical infrastructure such as the power grid and banking system.
James Lewis, who frequently advises the White House and lawmakers on cybersecurity issues, said some mandates may be necessary because the government wants companies to block intrusions before they happen, not just respond to threats after an alert.
"You can only share information on the threats you know," Mr. Lewis said, adding that with "the most advanced threats, there is no information to share."
Business groups have long opposed requirements, but some large companies are offering to make voluntary security improvements in exchange for information on security threats to help defend against hackers.
"The business of cybersecurity is more like intelligence and counterespionage than security where you put up physical guns and guards," said Mr. Banga in an interview. "That's a very poorly matched defense."
Mr. Banga and Business Roundtable officials said they want the government to trade more information on cyber threats with private companies. That would mean more security clearances for private-sector employees, and perhaps legislation by Congress to govern the exchange of state and corporate secrets.
In return, companies and their boards would give cybersecurity greater scrutiny and CEOs would pledge to act quickly on intelligence about threats. The position is in line with a bipartisan cybersecurity measure that passed the House but not the Senate last year.
The issue of what role Washington should play in defending private computer networks has gained new urgency amid increased cyber attacks from foreign hackers. Since last fall, an Iranian hacker group has periodically disrupted access to U.S. bank websites. A veiled warning from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in October did little to stop the disruptions.
The "increase in severity of the threats and the creativity of actors in this space," means private companies need more assistance from federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, said Liz Gasster, a vice president of the Business Roundtable.
"We need to redefine the partnership and develop a different kind of relationship with government in order to respond to this kind of warfare," she said.
Ms. Gasster said regulation would only hamper firms' ability to adapt to new threats.

QUOTE (Destructor @ Sep 11 2010, 01:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Anyone else been watching the GSL? It's so awesome to finally get to see how the Koreans are playing the game, there's some seriously high-level stuff going on when they play. Tasteless and Artosis are hilarious too! Took them a few days to get into the swing of casting SC2, they don't seem to have much experience at it, but already they're doing great.
indeed, i've been watching every game - i bought the pass, and have not regretted it
however, I am really disliking tasteless and artosis' commentary. their jokes are only funny 30% of the time, they dwell on jokes too long, they miss critical things on the minimap, starting at non-action for long periods, they never discuss early builds except to act like jerks and put down players who attempt non-orthodox builds, their analysis is often shallow and occasionally blatantly wrong, they still do not use the fucking production tab... i could go on all day

I have a mySQL table with user name, latitude and longitude of the user. I would like to get a list of user who are inside the circle or square of a given latitude and longitude with given distance. For example my input Lat= 78.3232 and Long = 65.3234 and distance = 30 miles. I would like to get the list of users who are inside 30 miles distance from the point 78.3232 and 65.3234. Is it possible to solve this with single query? Or can you give me a hint start solving this query? I am new to the geo based information.
The SQL statement that will find the closest 20 locations that are within a radius of 30 miles to the 78.3232, 65.3234 coordinate. It calculates the distance based on the latitude/longitude of that row and the target latitude/longitude, and then asks for only rows where the distance value is less than 30 miles, orders the whole query by distance, and limits it to 20 results. To search by kilometers instead of miles, replace 3959 with 6371.
This is using the Google Maps API v3 with a MySQL backend which your already have.
Mapperz's answer is invalid. Sinus must be calculated from latitude and NOT from longitude. So corect SQL statement is:
Here is my variant of query, seems a little bit easier (http://dexxtr.com/post/83498801191/how-to-determine-point-inside-circle-using-mysql)

After a long session of strumming, picking and playing, and the final notes have rung out, you need a safe, secure play to store your prized guitar. Thankfully, in this section you'll find more than enough top-quality guitar stands and wall hangers to protect it when it's not in use. Durably constructed and with designs to suit any need, these stands and hangers will provide you with everything you could ever ask for. So are you more of a stand or wall hanger type of musician? If you are looking to save on space, or you're looking to mount your instrument to a wall to show it off, then wall hangers are definitely the way to go. From traditional models that feature a bracket that holds your guitar's headstock, like the FretRest by Proline GH1 Guitar Wall Hanger, to horizontal setups that gently holds the body and neck, like the String Swing Electric Guitar Wall Hanger, there are many options available to you in this section. As well, you'll also find wall bumpers to protect the wall, multi-hangers, clip-ons, desk mounted hangers, docks, and even custom-looking hand hangers that appear to be clutching your instrument. If you want something a little more mobile though, that can be put away when not in use, you'll probably be more interested in stands.
With huge folding stands for multiple instruments, simple single guitar stands, multipacks, form-fitted options and more all found here, there's a stand in this catalog for every type of player. When it comes to storing and protecting your instrument, you need something you know you can trust. Because the guitar stands and wall hangers here are made by Fender, Hercules Stands, Musician's Gear, String Swing, Taylor, Ultimate Support and so many others though, you'll be walking away with only the best of the best. After that, you'll always have a safe place for your guitar to call home.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

How can parody possibly exceed the current cable-news absurdity over Elena Kagan 's sexuality? Pat Buchanan compared women's softball to "two men sunbathing together." Joe Scarborough got downright Freudian: "I didn't know this, but a softball bat symbolizes a certain lifestyle."Both of those insights are included in Talking Points Memo's genius montage, above. All of it left Stephen Colbert no choice but to take the straight man route — ha, ha — and simply critique the mutual enabling of the coverage so far, specifically at News Corp properties: The Wall Street Journal , The New York Post , and Fox News.
|The Colbert Report
|Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
|Confirming Elena
Administration officials asked Kagan directly about her sexual orientation when she was being vetted for her post as solicitor general, Dunn said in response to a question that she protested was inappropriate. But she insisted that it was not a relevant factor in determining who was named to that job or this one. "When there's a gay nominee, there's a gay nominee, which will be a good thing, if they're qualified and should be on the court," Dunn said.Progressives continue to have a tough time warming to Kagan — Sally Kohn of Movement Vision wishes she batted left, as she sings in this clever song. Meanwhile, Politico has run a conveniently-timed piece on a bunch of (straight) congresswomen who like to play softball together. Maybe sometimes, a bat is just a bat.

Roomba 630 Review
By NYC Gal
from New York, NY
About Me Busy household, Renter
I have old hard wood floors in an NYC apartment and a few area rugs. The Roomba 630 does an amazing job at picking up mounds of dust I never knew I had! I empty the tray after each time I use it and it always picks up a ton of dust.It does a great job at going around my furniture, under my couch and my bed. You do need to pick up things off the floor however like wires because sometimes it gets stuck.The only down side so far is, I have a long hallway with a thick runner rug and it does not work well on that at all. It kind of goes in circles on that rug then says "Please move roomba to a new location" or just shuts off, rather than going back and fourth on the hallway rug like it should. This is a bit disappointing because I don't have any other vacuum cleaner and that rug gets alot of hair and lint things on it. It cleans my thinner area rug in the living room fine though. It must be something with the thickness of the runner rug.Overall I am very happy with the Roomba however!
Great little machine
By Mrs Clean
from Penticton, BC Canada
Love my new Christmas present does everything I wanted it to do with three small dogs it does the clean up very well on my tile and laminate floors. Don't even find it too noisy compared to a regular vacuum. Love that I can be doing other cleaning while it (Hazel) is doing the vacuuming. Finds it own way back to docking station and everything...amazing.

Seeing is believing. We named it Roomie
By Herb
from San Antonio,TX
We have a lot of carpet. We had the original and two batteries and many years later it decided to retire. What we were told and read were not exaggerated. Cleans much, much better than our upright. It is remarkable how it navigates and returns to the docking. It is fun to watch and our 70 lbs dog seems amused by it maneuvers. We had high expectations but this robot is awesome!! Thank you for your improvements. You have made our housework much easier.

Does a much better job than the 4000.The docking feature rocks... no more tracking it down and finding somewhere to plug it in.Its ready to go all the time.The swinging door on the dirt tray looks fragile.
Best Used on Wood and Tile Floors
By GreekBecky
from Rochester, NY
I am impressed with the amount of dirt and debris my Zoomba picks up on my hardwood floors, but it doesn't do very well on carpet which was disappointing. I didn't expect it to replace my regular vacuum though. I primarily purchased it for in-between cleanings. Its fun to watch it do its thing and I think I'll name it like the other reviewers...:)
I love it!

Bought it yesterday morning, plugged it in to charge all day, let it loose in the evening. Emptied out a full canister of dust and debris, charged it overnight, let it go again, it found some more dust, but much less than the day before. House looks spotless. My 2 year old looked equal parts amazed and horrified by it for the first 10 mins, but seems quite keen on it now and has already named it Buddy. Hope it keeps working this well and I will be very, very happy.Wish I'd bought one years ago.
Awesome product

I have just created account at (some web service, well, actually it was Transifex, a localization service). Registration form requested typical things: accont name, e-mail adress, password (twice), and, optional company name and phone number.
What confused me was this sentence on confirmation page (the one right after submitting the form):
We will store your signup information for 7 days on our server.
Can anybody explain what does this mean?
What exactly they are referring to by "signup information", if it's something that should be kept for only 7 days? Or is my account going to be destroyed after that time? (Well, that could make sense for some special services, but not for this one.)

What's the exact function of "mismo" in the following sentence?
For example:
Se llevo a cabo la ceremonia y el mismo presidente le entrego la medalla al soldado.
I'm a native speaker and I think it is to make an emphasis of the next word. I just want to get this clarified. Here "mismo" is not about the "same thing" because there is another usage where it could be used as this:
Laura y yo tenemos los mismos gustos.

A emergency transponder signal led emergency personnel to search the area around Three Rivers Airport Sunday morning.
About 9:30 a.m., the Three Rivers Fire Department and Fabius-Park Fire Department were dispatched to the airport after an emergency transponder signal was picked up by another plane and reported to the Kalamazoo Control Tower.
St. Joseph County 911 Center received two cell-phone 911 hang up calls just prior to the transponder report, which added to the concern that a plane and or a pilot was calling for help.
With the coordinated efforts of 911 Central Dispatch, the Kalamazoo Control Tower, and Airport Manager Mark Glessner, the transponder signal was tracked down to a plane inside a hangar at the Three River airport.
The plane was recently brought in to the hangar for maintenance.
The signal stopped when the transponder unit was removed from the plane by technicians from Conrad Aero.

Have you heard that HP is contributing WebOS to the open source community?
8 Answers answer
It's a solid OS. Let's hope the FOSS community can do something with it, because HP certainly couldn't.
For those with more patience than I at reading Corporate Speak, have they yet said which license? I note that this is the bare bones WebOS, and that other elements that make it actually useful, such as ENYO, will be donated real soon now (cynicism mine).
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2011/111209xa.html (informative link)

One never knows, do one?
[Edit] Let me know when there's a tarball available. For now, it's still just words.
It's all good. My son has already hacked the living crap out of my Touchpad and it just keeps getting better.
"In a brief interview with the Verge, HP CEO Meg Whitman indicated that HP's not just committing to the platform; the company's going to invest in the hardware it supports, as well. That means HP tablets, most likely, though Whitman said smartphones were unlikely.
Of course, now that webOS is open source, anyone can make a tablet or phone or refrigerator on the platform. But if HP having skin in the hardware game means that they'll be aggressive about keeping the software competitive. More good news, on a day we were expecting the opposite."
@dreamyvelvet: Nice link, but I still don't know any more than from the original. Until I see download sites (and they'd better not include download dot com aka C/Net), and which opensource license it is that they're committing to, I'm going to be standing over here on the sidelines, waiting to cheer until something actually happens.
Over and over, actually.
RIP Sun Microsystems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSolaris). I hate Oracle.
I went off and thought about that for a few minutes. Yup. I hate them.
[Edit] Here's the canonical site, listing the types of licenses that qualify as open source.
I saw it on my Firefox BBC news feed... unfortunately I am a bit technology challenged so it doesn't really mean anything to me.
I've heard some good things about it, but that could just be people pretending to know more than they actually do.
HP doesn't really want to let WebOS die, after paying $1.2 Billion for Palm last year. "One look at Nokia's backyard dumpster full of discarded operating systems shows that maintaining an open-source community for mobile devices is difficult, if not impossible. Symbian, Maemo, Moblin, and MeeGo are all essentially dead, at least as far as the U.S. market is concerned." Nobody knows what will happen for certain.
its a great OS, but a year and a half from now their might not be a very big opening for WebOS to sneak into the market
If more manufacturers adopt web os then it might catch and become a good competitor for apple

Chávez Suffers Health Setback
CARACAS—Venezuela's ailing President Hugo Chávez is facing new complications and remains in a delicate state as he recovers from cancer surgery in Cuba, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said Sunday night in a nationally televised address.
"After 19 days since the complex surgery, the state of President Chávez's health continues to be delicate, presenting complications that are being tended to, in a process not without risks," said a somber-sounding Mr. Maduro, who was recently tapped by the leader as his preferred successor.
Related Video
As Mr. Chávez, who has been battling a postoperative respiratory infection, remains in a "difficult situation," Mr. Maduro said he had planned to stay in Havana with the president and his family in the coming hours to see how his health evolves. Mr. Maduro didn't give specific details on the new problems faced by the leader.
The announcement is likely to add to the speculation in the oil-rich South American country that the 58-year-old Mr. Chávez's worsening health may force him from office, despite winning another six-year term in October elections.
Mr. Chávez is slated to be sworn into his next term on Jan. 10, but doubts over his ability to attend the ceremony have launched a debate over the country's constitution. Many constitutional experts say the president-elect must attend the inauguration or be declared absent from office. That would trigger new presidential elections within 30 days, which is a legal requirement in Venezuela when a president is incapacitated or dies.
'Venezuela's leader is facing new surgery complications, his vice president says.'
But allies of the president have said over the past week that they don't intend to begin transfer-of-power procedures if Mr. Chávez isn't sworn in on Jan. 10 and have even suggested that the date could be postponed.
Mr. Chávez hasn't been seen in public since leaving for Cuba on Dec. 10, after announcing his cancer had reappeared in the same pelvic region where it was first discovered in June 2011. The Venezuelan government has never publicly stated what kind of cancer Mr. Chávez faces.
The Venezuelan government has given few details about the nature of Mr. Chávez's operation in December—his fourth in less than two years—or his condition after the operation. Government officials have said Mr. Chávez had to undergo "corrective treatment" because of bleeding during the operation. The government has also said Mr. Chavez suffered a respiratory infection, which had also been controlled.
But U.S. oncologists say Mr. Chavez could face a number of post-operation complications, including blood clots and pneumonia. "My top guess is some sort of postoperative, hospital-acquired pneumonia," said Dr. Thierry Jahan, an oncologist at the University of California in San Francisco. "Someone who is very debilitated is always at greater risk for pneumonia, especially if they stay at a hospital for a long time, their bodies can be colonized by bacteria that live in the hospital and which can be more dangerous than the bacteria one picks up at home."
The chances of Mr. Chavez exiting the stage have created deep political uncertainty in Venezuela, where he has ruled for 14 years. The Andean nation has the world's largest proven oil reserves, and is a major supplier of crude to the U.S.
The demise of the firebrand socialist would also reverberate across the region, where he has led an alliance of leftist governments like Cuba, Ecuador and Bolivia.
Following the vice president's speech, the Caracas mayor's office said on Twitter that it was canceling its annual New Year's Eve celebration in its iconic Plaza Bolivar, named after the country's liberator Simon Bolivar. Instead, the mayor's office encouraged "every family to receive the new year with a prayer of faith and hope for President Chávez's health."
On Friday, Mr. Maduro traveled to Havana, delegating vice presidential powers to Electricity Minister Hector Navarro for the duration of his trip.
Mr. Maduro appeared on state television flanked by Rosa Virginia Chávez, Mr. Chávez's oldest daugter, Science Minister Jorge Arreaza and Attorney General Cilia Flores. He said the group had met with Mr. Chávez, who had also talked of his own health complications.

What is the best way to protect your body against disease? Should we take herbs, antioxidant supplements, and green tea? Or is there something even better? For now, researchers agree that most studies suggest that people who consume more antioxidants in their diets, not in pill form, have a lower cancer risk. A diet high in fruits and vegetables might therefore be beneficial in improving cancer survival as well. Research implies that the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables might be much greater than the effects of the vitamins, including antioxidants, they contain.
The protective benefit is believed to be from the many vitamins and phytochemicals (natural disease fighting plant substances) in whole foods acting together (in synergy) to reduce cancer risk. Most experts recommend eating at least five servings of fruit and vegetables daily. A serving size is equal to 1/2 cup cooked vegetables, 1 cup raw vegetables, 1/2 cup chopped fruit, 1/4 cup dried fruit, one piece fresh fruit, or 6 ounces fruit juice. For more information, visit the American Institute for Cancer Research web site.
A Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral required by a healthy person to prevent deficiencies. The first RDAs were published in 1941 and have been revised about every five years based on a review of scientific literature. Over the decades, the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine has changed their approach in presenting dietary guidelines. They recognized that many people are taking nutrients in amounts well beyond the RDAs. To protect the public from toxicity that can be caused by taking too much of some nutrients, an additional reference value was created. This new category, Tolerable Upper Intake Limits (ULs), is defined as "the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects".
ULs have been established for vitamins A, B6, B12, D and E and for the minerals iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. The UL for vitamin A has been set at 10,000 IU per day. Taking doses of vitamin A greater than the UL regularly can cause irreversible liver damage and birth defects. This is just one example. The National Institute of Health has posted information about all the new ULs on their website.
Cancer treatment can increase the amount of fluid a person needs to flush the bladder and kidneys. Signs of dehydration include weakness, dizziness, decreased urination, thirst, headache, and possible fever. These symptoms can occur quickly if you lose fluid due to diarrhea, vomiting, or fever. An intake of 48-64 ounces (6-8 eight ounce glasses) of fluid per day is recommended. These fluids should be non-alcoholic and caffeine free since both substances tend to increase fluid loss.
Remember, "fluid" does not just mean water. Broth, juice, fruit drinks, Jell-O, water ice, milk, Ensure, and decaf teas all count as fluid.
Adapted from the Environmental Nutrition newsletter, March 2001.
It is blueberry season and there is nothing like fresh blueberries to top off a bowl of cereal, bake in a pie, or just enjoy on their own. These are just a few tasty ways to celebrate summer. The juicy berries are also tiny antioxidant powerhouses. Anthocyanins, the blue pigments from the blueberry skin, are powerful antioxidants with potential cancer preventing power. In a recent study comparing 40 fruits and vegetables, blueberries had the highest antioxidant capacity, mostly due to the anthocyanin. More good news is that frozen blueberries are just as nutritious. So enjoy the health benefits year round! Look below for an antioxidant packed summer snack.
|Gingered Blueberry-Melon Toss
Recipe from Cyber-Kitchen.com
In a large bowl, combine first four ingredients until well blended. Add blueberries and cantaloupe. Toss to coat. Serve at room temperature or chilled over frozen yogurt or angel food cake. Makes about 3 cups.
Should I take Antioxidant supplements, during my cancer treatment?
Antioxidant supplements, which would include vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, co-enzyme Q10, and minerals such as selenium, may interfere with these treatments. The concern is that antioxidants may reduce oxidizing free radicals created by the treatments and consequently reduce the effectiveness of the therapy. There have been inconclusive studies in this area but our knowledge about how chemotherapy and radiation therapy work leads us to predict that antioxidants may interfere with therapy.
Food sources of antioxidants are generally safe since it would be difficult to consume a large enough amount of antioxidants from food sources, like fruits and vegetables, to negatively impact treatments. A safe supplement to take during therapy is a standard (Centrum type brand) multivitamin which generally provides a safe amount and balance of nutrients.

The Party
More than 700 of the city's powerful supporters came together to raise funds for care, support and research in the fight against Alzheimer's. The emotional evening included moving speeches by those affected by the condition and the presentation of the Vision Award. This year, the award went to Jerry and Paul Klaassen for their work in revitalizing senior care with Sunrise Senior Living.
The People
Former Washington Redskin and ESPN personality Rick "Doc" Walker hosted the festivities, while attendees— including DC magazine's publisher and Brain Ball board member Peter Abrahams, Brain Ball founding co-chairs Liz and Tom Donohue, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President John McKernan Jr. and Sen. Olympia Snowe— dined on a lavish dinner before retiring to a dessert bar and musical entertainment from Radio King Orchestra.
Best in Show
Liz and Mark Ordan donated a vintage 1966 Ford Mustang! The winner promptly donated the car back to the nonprofit and it was then auctioned off not once, but twice for the deserving cause. The hot rod and the event together raised more than $1 million for Alzheimer's disease. -Photos by Tony Brown and Jay Snap

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has called on Uefa to act after Emmanuel Adebayor and Kyle Naughton faced 'monkey' chants from Inter fans in their Europa League meetingTottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has urged Uefa to act after Emmanuel Adebayor and Kyle Naughton were targeted by racist chanting at San Siro during Spurs' 4-1 defeat to Inter.
An extra-time goal from the Togo strike ensured the north London club progressed to the Europa League quarter-finals on away goals, yet their overall success has been overshadowed by the incident.
|Spurs are 3/1 to win the Europa League with bet365
Speaking after the game, Villas-Boas said: "Chants were very, very easy to hear.
"It's difficult for Inter, we have seen it before. It doesn't mar the game but it is something to be avoided."
Lazio were fined £120,000 by Uefa after their fans racially abused Spurs players in their meeting at the Stadio Olimpico in the Europa League group stage back in November.
The club they were also punished for similar behaviour in the meeting at White Hart Lane earlier in the season.

The charges were filed in January, after an investigation into the October fall that injured 19-year-old Paige Raque.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Eight students have now waived a preliminary hearing on charges they supplied alcohol at a party where a Penn State cheerleader from Kentucky was seriously injured after falling from a fifth-floor window.
The Centre Daily Times reports six students waived Wednesday's hearing, while two others had previously agreed to do so, and will now face possible trial on the misdemeanor charges.
The university says the students have been removed from their respective teams.
The charges were filed in January after an investigation into the October fall that injured 19-year-old Paige Raque. She suffered head and pelvic injuries after falling 39 feet out a screened window of the State College apartment. Police say the fall was accidental.
Raque has returned to her Kentucky home, but her family says she still suffers pain.
