Are there any examples of songs that employ a Circle of Fourths that I might be able to practice along with? How does the progression tie in with different scales?
The idea behind the "Circle of Fourths" is that every 7th chord resolves to a I chord a fourth above it. For example, a G7 chord resolves to C, because C is a fourth above G (although truthfully, I actually think of this relationship in reverse: the chord that resolves to C is the one a fifth above it, namely G7).
Probably the most widely-played example of a chord progression employing this Circle of Fourths concept is the bridge from "I Got Rhythm", which goes D7-G7-C7-F7-Bb (each chord is played for two bars). Each chord resolves to the chord a fourth above it, until it finally concludes in the home key of Bb. Another example I was just thinking about is the blues song "Salty Dog", which I've heard played as E7-A7-D7-G7. Same idea, different chords.
One of the reasons these chord progressions are so popular is because dominant chords (i.e. 7th chords that resolve the chord a fourth above them) are rich with potential substitutions and alterations. Two of the most common include:
So a chord progression like in "I Got Rhythm", with its Circle-of-Fourths progression of dominant chords, is like a blank canvas of harmonic possibility. You can really go nuts exploring all the different opportunities it presents.
Update Regarding Tritone Substitutions
This is inspired by VarLogRant's comment below, which I think is close but not quite on the mark (I'm including this here because I ran out of characters in the comments section).
In functional harmony, a chord's role is not, in fact, determined by its root. Of the three main diatonic types of chords---major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th---all three have the same interval relationship between the root and the 5th; if I play just a C and a G, no one can tell if that's a CM7, a Cm7, or a C7 chord. Not until I add both the 3rd and the 7th can the listener distinguish between the type of chord (and therefore its functional role). But once I play the 3rd and the 7th, the chord's functional role becomes clear.
In fact, so long as I play the 3rd and the 7th of the chord, I can actually leave out the root and/or the 5th and the listener will still hear the harmony. So a chord's functional role in the harmony is determined by its 3rd and its 7th. Consequently, any two chords that have the same 3rd and 7th notes can be used interchangeably.
(Aside: In fact, my teacher taught me to avoid playing roots and fifths of chords when comping. He reasoned that the bassist would play roots and fifths, and if I avoided playing them, that left me with spare strings and fingers with which I could play chord extensions and alterations, i.e. color tones. But he also insisted I always play the 3rd and the 7th unless I was intentionally trying to be ambiguous.)
In a Dominant 7th chord, the interval between the 3rd and the 7th is a tritone. This is important because a tritone is symmetric, i.e. if you invert the notes in a tritone, you still get a tritone. A tritone is the only non-octave interval that has this property, and it means that if you play the 3rd and the 7th of a dominant chord, the listener has no way of knowing which of the two notes is the 3rd and which is the 7th. So you get one dominant chord in which the lower tone is the 3rd, and a different dominant chord in which the lower tone is the 7th.
For example: say I play an F# and a B as the 3rd and 7th of a chord. The interval between is a perfect 5th in one inversion and a perfect 4th in the other. Either way, the B must be the 3rd and the F# must be the 7th.
But say instead I play an F and a B. Which is the 3rd and which is the 7th? It's not clear, because in either inversion, the interval between them is a tritone. If the B is the 3rd, then the root is G, but if the F# is the 3rd, then the root is Db. Since the 3rd and the 7th are the two tones which determine the functional role of the chord, either the G7 or the Db7 will have the same functional role in the harmony and thus can be used interchangeably.
Just to extend Alex's answer with regards to choosing scales to play in your lead lines over any sort of progression really.
Modes of the scale break down as follows:
Using these a good rule of thumb is:
Major/7th/9etc: Major Scale / Lydian Mode
Minor/7th/etc: Minor scale(aeolian) / Dorian Mode / Phrygian
Minor/7th/9etc: Minor scale / Dorian Mode
Minor/7th/b9etc: Minor scale / Phrygian
7 chord(dominant(V)): Mixolydian
Dim/min7b5/etc: Locrian
Pentatonics can pretty much always be thrown into the mix, and a good way to move around progressions is using tones from the chords being played, eg arpeggios.
This hasn't covered the harmonic/melodic minors, which in turn lead to other dominant modes, highly recommended to learn.

What is the current reasoning for the badge routes not being paged? Badges (/tags) is probably the current longest route, and it is annoying that this route isn't paginated, but stackauth/sites is. Should it not be the other way around (unless I am missing something obvious)?
They were't paginated due to their essentially static nature.
This has since been determined to be a mistake, they're slated to be redone in a subsequent API version.

1969 Dodge Super Bee Timber Wolf Project - Finally FinishedWritten on January 1, 2008 The Project Is Ready For Delivery
Completing a project like the '69 Super Bee we've been building with the Timber Wolf Speed Shop can be a very satisfying achievement. Since most of you reading this magazine also wrench on your own cars, we're sure you're familiar with the feeling of accomplishment when a job is finished. Making this job special, however, is the knowledge that someone will win this car and be able to enjoy it for years to come. We only hope they appreciate all the effort it took to make this a car any enthusiast would be proud to own.
If you've followed project Timber Wolf from its inception, you know that we started with a worn, but overall solid, '69 Dodge Super Bee. In previous issues, we disassembled the car, tackled the paint and bodywork, and rebuilt the factory engine and transmission. The interior needed help as well, so we had the guys at Auto instruments.com refurbish our instrument cluster, then we added new carpeting from YearOne, and recovered the seats with new vinyl from Legendary Auto Interiors. After reinstalling the engine, we enlisted the guys at Classic Auto Air to rebuild our car's factory airbox and install their aftermarket air-conditioning kit under the hood.
Now that the major components of the car are in place, the finishing touches need to be completed. This process is time consuming because we need to pay as much attention to the little details as we have the car's major components.
Just because the car is painted and the engine and transmission are in place doesn't mean our work is over. The interior still needs to be completed, and we'll install an AM/FM/CD player so the car's new owner has some tunes to listen to. Since we warmed over the 383 to give it more power than stock, we'll also be adding Master Power disc brakes on all four corners to ensure stopping is not an issue. The real time-consuming tasks, however, are the little things, such as repairing and retaping the wiring harnesses, making sure all the lights and controls work, installing trim and emblems, and tuning and adjusting our fresh engine and transmission.
Admittedly, there were times of frustration during this build, especially when deadlines for completion were nearing, but we've found that to be the case with any project. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any major obstacles and were able to deliver the completed car to the Timber Wolf Speed Shop on time.
Follow along this month as we install the disc brakes, tie up all those loose ends, adjust and tune our car, and add the finishing touches to make this Super Bee a car anyone would be proud to own.
You Could Win This Car Or One Of Five Other Classics At The Timber Wolf Speed Shop. This sweepstakes contest has ended.

After retrieving the car from the paint shop and rebuilding and installing the 383 big-block, it's now time for the finishing touches to complete the car.Before installing our new carpet, we utilized Hushmat's sound deadener to insulate the floors of our car. This will reduce not only the road noise, but also insulate against the heat generated by our car's exhaust and driveline.Since our car had factory air conditioning, we had the guys at Classic Auto Air rebuild and install our factory airbox and combine it with one of their aftermarket kits to replace our missing underhood components.The Classic Auto Air conversion replaces our nonexistent hoses with new units and utilizes a Sanden compressor, which is compatible with R-134 refrigerant and much more efficient than the factory RV-2 compressor.Since our factory gauges were pretty much shot, we pulled them out and sent them to Auto instruments.com to be completely refurbished. Adding white faces gives the dash a more modern look.Like the rest of our car, we wanted the gauges to be better than new. Auto instruments.com didn't let us down.Our factory seat covers were worn and dirty, so we decided to recover them with new vinyl from YearOne. Fortunately, our seat frames and cushions were reusable.While making new seat covers is a job for the upholstery shop, installing premade seat covers is a job anyone can do with a set of hog-ring pliers.
Rather than installing our original bumpers, we exchanged them for a set of rechromed units. We wanted to ensure every aspect of this car is stunning, so rusty, dull bumpers just wouldn't cut it.Since several of the clips that hold the windshield trim on were missing or broken, we had Terry from A Glass Pro of Florida replace the clips before installing a new windshield.Ever wonder why your windshield trim won't stay put? It's because these clips are either worn or nonexistent. The good news is new clips are available from YearOne. With the windshield out, these can easily be replaced with a Philips screwdriver. Some of ours had to be persuaded with an improvised "impact" screwdriver.A Super Bee just isn't a Super Bee without the rump stripe, so we enlisted J.D. of J.D.'s Paint and Body Shop to install our new YearOne stripe.A squeegee was used, forcing the water from under the stripe and allowing the adhesive to bond to the paint.Once in place, the protective outer layer was removed, revealing our new Super Bee stripe. Now the car is finally looking complete!With our car nearing completion and our delivery deadline looming, it was time to get rid of the factory drum brakes and replace them with a disc brake kit from Master Power Brakes. We'd like to thank Garret Struck of Inline Performance Specialist for lending us a hand when time was short.
Since our five-spoke wheels will give a good view of the brakes, and to improve breaking performance, we opted for the drilled and slotted rotors as an upgrade to our conversion.Rather than replacing just the bearings, we installed a new set of Moser heavy-duty axles with nonadjustable "green" sealed axle bearings.With disc brakes on all four corners, stopping performance will be dramatically improved over the stab-and-steer factory drum brakes.To finish off the brake system, we added Master Power's new master cylinder. After bleeding the system, we were surprised at how much more confident we were when stopping the car. Four-wheel disc brakes really improve drivability.At times our shop looked more like the set of Overhaulin' as the Timber Wolf Speed Shop crew paid us several visits to film progress on the car. While the action did add some excitement to our shop, it was a little distracting trying to tune the carb while under the glare of lights and cameras.

Jane Iredale - The Skin Care Makeup Introduces New, Redesigned Packaging
Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, Ltd., manufacturer of jane iredale – THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP, recently unveiled its new product packaging as well as a new logo treatment. Characterized by a fresh layout, inviting colors and textures, integrated QR code technology, and environmentally responsible materials, the packaging symbolizes the brand's bright future and complements its 20th Anniversary this year.
"We've designed our new packaging to be clear, distinct, consistent and engaging, and are excited to begin our 20th anniversary year with a refreshing new look," says Sarah Steven, Vice President, Marketing for jane iredale. "While they may not realize it at the time, consumers actively evaluate packages on shelves in seconds. Our new packaging conveys our brand story with consumers through colors that represent the vibrancy and purity of nature, and special touches that emphasize the value and quality of our products."
The new packaging uses clean, bright, optimistic colors to capture the essence, mood, and feeling of the jane iredale brand. Coincidentally, one of the colors chosen for the logo is Radiant Orchid, which has since been named Pantone Color of the Year for 2014. The soft gray chosen for the font is more feminine than the ubiquitous black typeface seen on most makeup boxes, and the embossed treatment of the logo and soft touch of the carton add textural elements that pop from the shelf and feel luxurious in the hand.
Creatively placed QR codes are featured on the inside flap of each carton. When scanned, the QR codes direct users to a jane iredale application video demonstrating how to apply that particular product.
"Beauty is the second most-watched category on YouTube, and sharing videos through packaging is just one way to further engage with and educate consumers," says Steven.
Reflecting the brand's commitment to the environment, the paper used is fully recyclable and sourced from renewable resources. The ink uses natural tree resin systems and vegetable oils to reduce volatile organic compounds by over 75 percent, while also being UV curable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and overall environmental impact.
The Leaping Bunny logo, the leading animal protection group for cruelty-free certification, appears on every carton and certifies jane iredale as cruelty-free - not allowing for any animal testing at any stage of product development.
The new packaging began its roll out in March 2014, starting with core foundations and the new Magic Hour collection.

Stop Sun Damage Before it Starts with Dermalogica's New Sun Protection Formulas
Skin requires protection against damaging UV rays every day, not just when basking at the beach or snowplowing down a brilliantly reflective ski-slope. Encouraging consumers to be mindful of preventing sun damage as an everyday health practice, Dermalogica introduces New Protection 50 Sport SPF50 with Oleosome technology, and a newly repackaged After Sun Repair. Both sun-care products, which can be used for both face and body, are part of Dermalogica's Daylight Defense system, developed for everyday protection against detrimental solar exposure.
New Protection 50 Sport SPF50 is a broad-spectrum sunscreen which utilizes lipid-rich Oleosome microspheres that boost sun protection (SPF50!) and antioxidants to help defend the skin. The formula includes licorice extract to soothe irritation from UV exposure, while hyaluronic acid bonds moisture to the skin without greasiness. This new product is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes and is a must-have for extreme sport enthusiasts who are frequently practicing and attending sporting events outside. Protection 50 Sport SPF50 can be used for both face and body, making sunscreen protection easy for busy people on the go.
After Sun Repair instantly reduces redness and cools sunburned skin with chamomile, clove, cucumber, Szechwan pepper, lavender and yucca. This soothing balm also contains extracts of Japanese Alder which scavenges free radicals and accelerates the repair of UV-induced DNA damage after sun exposure.
The suggested retail price for Protection 50 Sport SPF50 5.3oz is $32 and After Sun Repair 3.4oz is $32. Both products will launch at Dermalogica authorized skin centers, spas and salons across the U.S. starting in April, 2014.

Learning Letters
Q: My five-year-old son can say that alphabet, but he has no desire to recognize the letters or to start printing them. I have tried everything from games to worksheets, and nothing is working. How do I motivate him to want to recognize the letters? We've read to him almost every day of his life.
His teacher is already concerned that he will become frustrated in class because all of the other children will be ahead of him. What do you recommend?
A: Since his teacher is already concerned, ask for her suggestions on ways you can help your son at home. You might also want to have your child's eyes tested to make sure that a vision problem isn't interfering with his desire or ability to recognize letters.
Keep in mind that when you talk about your son's ability to write the letters of the alphabet, you are talking about his using fine motor skills. How good is your son at these other fine motor skills: coloring, copying, pasting, or cutting with scissors? All children have their own internal time clocks that indicate exactly when they will develop these skills; however, doing puzzles and playing with small objects can improve these skills.
Maybe you are trying too hard to get your child to learn the alphabet letters. Your son may feel your tension. Try taking a more relaxed approach and concentrate on having fun teaching him one letter at a time. Stick with that letter until your son easily recognizes and writes it. Here are some activities that you can use:
- Take a stick and have fun together writing a letter in dirt or sand. Say the letter as you write it. Then have your son trace and say the letter. You can also put sand on a baking tray for him to trace or write a letter.
- Let him finger-paint a letter using paint, pudding, or shaving cream.
- Get a box of alphabet cereal or pasta, and let him pick out a specific letter or the letters he knows.
- Have him use markers to circle a letter he knows every time he sees it in newspaper headlines or ads. He should name the letter as he circles it.
- Help your son make letter cookies or pancakes.

UI guidelines can be helpful to provide rules-of-thumb, or at least remind you of things to think about when designing a UI. What sets of guidelines exist?
This list is pretty comprehensive: The UX Bookmark: A huge list of Style Guides and UI Guidelines
An updated list available at UI Guideline Resources
I would look for UI design patterns. Design patterns are proven solutions to common problems - they started out in the field of architecture but have been ported over to design and development. For an introduction into design patterns, you could read A Pattern Language and The Timeless Way of Building, but both of these are concerned with architecture and not design/development.
For design patterns, the Design Patterns book is a good start. The Design Of Sites is also a good book to read. And, of course, Designing Interfaces.
If you want to just dive into patterns that already exist, you can look at the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library or the UI Patterns website.
It's vital to outline 'what' you're designing. There are certainly design patterns and guidelines for a variety of platforms but also for a variety of audiences. If you're talking about designing for the web Yahoo has one of the most comprehensive and open collections of patterns out there: (http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/) otherwise it really depends on what you're trying to design. You're best served searching for patterns and going from there - the Wroblewski form design book is a great example of drilling down to specific tasks/elements for insight.
The Usability Professionals' Association provides great guidelines, you might also want to check out the IEEE as well.
While it's not exactly a "Guidelines" website, I like to think of it more like a "How Not To Do Things" website. It's hilarious at times because most of it is so true.
There are many guidelines out there, coming under different banners too:
You might want to filter the lot as the applicability depends on what kind of UIs you are designing, the context of use, enabling technology and so on. For example, the Oracle Fusion Middleware enabled Fusion UX Design Patterns and Guidelines (disclosure: I work for Oracle and know about these) for enterprise apps: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/ux/applications/gps-1601227.html
A good place to start IMO is with an overall philosophy of where you want to go with your UI and see what support there is for bringing those thoughts to life as artfully as possible. Try:

Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Solid rod for pike, musky in the 10wt size, I assume it would work well for bass in smaller sizes. It handles large streamers with ease. The other review is correct, this is a bit heavier rod but then again I haven't casted many big rods so I don't have a good comparison point.
The Backup
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This rod is awesome for the price. Super fast action and great for chucking big buggers. Not very sensitive and a bit heavy but for the price it's great. Not my go-to rod but it's a perfect backup that I'll break out on windy days or using big flies.

Shipping is $9.99.
@cebooher3: Seriously? I looked for shipping, even adding one to my cart and going most of the way through the process, but backed out before I got a shipping estimate. Shipping from this company is not usually that high.
@belyndag: I got to checkout through Paypal and it added $9.99 shipping. I was only ordering 1 prank box.
