An integral part of your guitar sound is the strings. After all, the noise you are creating is the sound of your strings vibrating. Dirty and old strings will sound flat and lifeless, may not stay in tune very well and will feel dull to the touch. There are a number of factors that determine how quickly your strings age – how often you play, where you play and the pH balance of your sweat (This isn't a joke: the finish on Rory Gallagher's famous Stratocaster was literally eroded away by his unusually acidic sweat). Old strings are more likely to break as well & we all know how irritating it is to break a string ½ way through a song. If you favor a particular brand and gauge, there are advantages to buying strings in bulk – you can save a couple of bucks per set buy buying a 12 pack & we have them from all the top brands, including Ernie Ball Strings, D'Addario Strings and GHS Strings to name just a few. Our string section isn't just limited to guitar strings, we also have Bass Guitar Strings, Banjo Strings and Mandolin Strings - in fact if you have a stringed instrument, we'll have strings for it. As with everything we sell, all our strings are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping applies to all orders except heavy items.
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.

RUSSIAVILLE, Ind. — A group of school children in central Indiana released 1,500 colorful balloons into the air last week in tribute to a friend who'd succumbed to a three-year battle with brian cancer. One of those balloons improbably sailed 799 miles and landed in a New England schoolyard, itself no stranger to tragedy.
Children at Western Primary School in Russiaville, Ind. - a town of about 1,100 people that is 60 miles north of Indianapolis - held a ceremony on the playground last Friday to remember Mason Hopkins, a 7-year-old who liked soccer and motorcycles, and called all girls "princesses."
"One of Mason's best gifts was his ability to fill our buckets with just his friendly smile," his teacher said during the ceremony. "Because Mason touched our hearts in such a special way, we wanted to share that feeling with others. We hope that anyone who sees these balloons in the air today or finds them when they land will also smile and share their smile with others."
Sure enough, three days later, several people walking their dogs spotted a white balloon outside Hunking Middle School in Haverhill, Mass. Attached was a note that read, "In memory of Mason Hopkins. You will be missed by Western Primary."
They shared the find with Principal Jared Fulgoni, who at first couldn't believe the ballon traveled as far as it did. An Internet search confirmed its origin and turned up an obituary written after Mason's death on Oct. 5.
His story resonated at the middle school, where a student recently died of cancer and a custodian several years ago lost his 8-year-old son to brain cancer.
"So, for us to have had this balloon float down to us was a powerful experience," Fulgoni said. "It had given its all to make it here. It was weathered and beaten. It was in pretty rough shape."
Western Primary Principal Steve Arthur said he was surprised to hear from the school in Massachusetts. Teachers in Russiaville are using its journey as an educational opportunity and another way to remember Mason.
"He loved coming to school," Arthur said. "He loved to learn. He would be excited to find out where the balloons ended up. We hope to use this in a positive way."

At the end of the 75th All-Star Game, I thought about how rewarding this adventure has been for me.
I thought the Home Run Derby was something special, but to stand on the field before an All-Star Game is something else.
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark. It was standing on a field with the best players in the Majors today and legends from past years. It was seeing the celebrities that had come out, and being part of the national media covering the game. Here I was, a kid standing with the rest of them. The governor of Texas came over to me and shook my hand.
It was awesome.
The American League left with the win, and home-field advantage for the World Series. Alfonso Soriano won the All-Star Game MVP Award and Miguel Tejada was crowned Home Run King.
I finally got that one-on-one with Randy Johnson. I had written before that he was one person I hoped to be able to interview. He is as nice in person as I imagined him to be. Other greats like Eric Gagne, Manny Ramirez and Danny Graves took the time to talk with me, too. As busy as all the players were, they were all nice enough to give me a few minutes of their time or to walk over and shake my hand.
This game was just as much for kids as it was for grown-ups. The Boys and Girls Club participated in many events, and kids were everywhere. The kids brought their balls and pens, hoping for autographs from their favorite players, or their gloves, hoping to catch that home run ball.
The Houston Astros did a great job hosting this year's All-Star Game. The food was good, and they were very helpful in informing me what the schedules were.
The stadium and FanFest were walking distance to one another, so getting around was easy. One night we stayed in a hotel, and it just happened to be the same hotel as many of the players. Late at night I woke up to the loud cheers of the fans outside, who were calling out their favorite players' names as they arrived. That was how I knew Barry Bonds and I were at the same hotel, but I never did see him there. I heard the fans stayed in front of the hotel until the middle of the night.
It was so much fun to walk the streets and see all the exhibits set up around the stadium. The famous Clydesdales were hooked up to their carriage and paraded through the streets. There were musicians playing for fans on street corners. Bands played at different spots in town. T-shirt stands were everywhere. People were all dressed up in their All-Star gear and laughing and having a good time.
To me, the All-Star Game was more than just a game. It was making new friends, experiencing what it is really like to be a professional sportswriter and getting some fantastic advice from professional sportswriters like the MLB.com group, who was so nice to me and helped me every step of the way. I learned that being a professional sportswriter like these guys is fun, but not as easy as you think. I now have a different view of what it is all about. I loved the experience, and still want to be a writer.
I am thankful for the new friends I have made. I am grateful to the people who made this possible, like John Ralph and Christie Cowles of MLB.com, and the opportunity to share the love of baseball with them all.
I hope people enjoyed reading my articles as much as I enjoyed writing them. I am sad it's over, but I will never forget my All-Star experience.

text: As you can see from the included pictures, the holes in my flywheel are no longer 5/16 - they are now ovals. My question is this: what would be wrong with welding some hardened steel (represented by the piece of wood in the 2nd picture - the steel would be thicker/stronger than the size of the piece of wood) onto both of the flywheel flats and drilling then out to 5/16? Seems like this would work. Of course I would need a longer bolt. Seems like I could still tighten the flywheel onto the input shaft securely. I eagerly await feedback!

Miss Kansas Shows Tattoos at Miss America Pageant
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Miss Kansas Theresa Vail says she wants to break the stereotype that women with visible tattoos don't compete in pageants.
So during the swimsuit portion of the Miss America competition on Tuesday, Vail revealed two tattoos - the Serenity Prayer on her right side and the insignia of the U.S. Army Dental Corps on her left shoulder.
Vail is a 22-year-old senior at Kansas State University. She's also a member of the Army National Guard who wants to become a military dentist.
Her platform is helping women overcome stereotypes and break barriers.
Given her platform, she wrote on her blog last month: "What a hypocrite I would be if I covered the ink."
The Miss America pageant is back in Atlantic City, N.J., after a six-year absence. The finale will be Sunday night.

Everyone gets frightened of something or someone from time to time, and animals are no exception. Fear is an emotional response to danger and causes our survival instincts to kick into high gear.
Even the most loving and docile of pets can lash out when put in a threatening situation, and the results can often be dangerous. In order to prevent an attack, there are a few things you should always look out for when interacting with any animal.
"The most important things to recognize are if the dog is staring at you, its lips are pulled back so teeth are showing, and it has a stiff tail pointing upward," said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. "They also tend to be rigid and move slowly."
If you've noticed this body language and behavior from the animal, it is best to back away slowly and find a way to separate yourself. If you notice that the animal is becoming aggressive, it is best to freeze and avoid direct eye contact, said Beaver.
Just as you would when you come across a bear or other dangerous wild animal, you should never scream and run away or make any sudden movements. Wild animals and pets alike may view you as prey when you run, and it is their instinct to chase after you. Always stand your ground and keep your chest facing them, and your eyes averted.
You should always keep your distance from unfamiliar dogs, despite your urge to pet the unbelievably cute ones. Ask the owner prior to interacting with their pet, as they usually know if the animal handles strangers well. You should also let the dog sniff you or your hand before petting them. It's best to let them approach you first.

While the Governor may have told Andrea that there would be no retaliation for what Rick and the gang did when they helped facilitiate the escape of Daryl and Merle, did anyone really believe it? On "The Walking Dead," he played up his reasonable side when talking to Andrea -- even saying he should step down and put her in power temporarily -- while working several angles of his own.
He sent Milton to keep an eye on Andrea, saying he didn't trust her, and then he gathered his own forces. Out of nowhere, while Carol and Axel were talking in the yard, Axel got gunned down. With that shot, the assualt on the prison had begun. To say Rick and his band of survivors weren't yet prepared for that kind of frontal assault would be an understatement. They were scattered, disorganized and still reeling from Rick's struggles with reality.
The Governor's most devastating move came when a delivery truck smashed through both layers of gates at the front of the prison. Suddenly, the yard was exposed to the outside world. Even worse, he made a Trojan Horse out of the delivery truck, loading it up with zombies which were unleashed into the yard directly.
As an initial attack, it proved incredibly devastating to the prison. It's role as a safe haven has effectively been destroyed. The group may have no choice but to join forces with Tyreese now and hope they can survive the war with Woodbury that they knew was coming.
Keep up with all the action on "The Walking Dead" every Sunday at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.

Murad Resurgence
Combat Hormonal Aging for Youthful Skin
Studies show that skin can lose up to thirty percent of its firming collagen in the first five years after menopause. As estrogen levels in a woman's body change, collagen production deceases. The result? Skin loses firmness, resulting in loose skin and the development of wrinkles. Murad Resurgence is specifically developed, using the Science of Cellular Water™ to combat the loose skin and wrinkles that develop as a result of Hormonal Aging in women. Murad Resurgence products, as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, more youthful skin even as collagen production decreases.

By Evgeny Morozov
— The early case for telecommuting — made most prominently by Alvin Toffler in his best-selling "The Third Wave" in 1980 — had a strong romantic flavor to it. For futurists like Toffler, the home office would be an "electronic cottage" that might "glue the family together again," provide "greater community stability," and even trigger a "renaissance among voluntary organizations." Forget about bowling alone: In Toffler's future, we'd all be telecommuting together! (Toffler, it must be said, was only popularizing ideas that had been aired many decades earlier. For example, Norbert Wiener, the father of cybernetics, had already speculated in his landmark book "The Human Use of Human Beings" about how an architect in Europe might use a fax-like machine to supervise the construction of a building in America.)
The business press eagerly swallowed such stories of emancipation through technology; the San Jose Mercury News enthused in 1983, "Home computers are nurturing working mothers." Back then, it didn't seem unreasonable to expect that the "electronic cottage" might one day allow us, as Karl Marx once put it, "to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner." For Toffler and his followers, humans would use computers to get more work done in less time while bypassing the alienating experience of a 9-to-5 city job.
It would be fair to say that Toffler's dream — let alone Marx's — is still a long way off. In some limited form, of course, telecommuting has taken off quite handsomely. Earlier this year, a poll from Ipsos/Reuters found that about one in five workers around the globe telecommutes frequently — a practice especially common in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia. Even there, many telecommuters worry that the lack of face-to-face contact with their bosses will hurt their chances of promotion. (One caveat on telecommuting research: Each study defines it slightly differently. In this case, it refers to "employees who work remotely from their office, communicating by email, phone or online chats, either daily or occasionally.") Pollsters didn't ask, but it seems reasonable to assume that few of those workers think of themselves as living in an "electronic cottage" of any kind. One of the reasons for it is that relatively few firms have fully embraced telecommuting. Sure, many permit employees to spend every second Friday working from home, but they still require some face time in the office.
That's because as glorious as working remotely may sound, research shows that it doesn't always reach expectations. The most recent high-profile failure on this front is a one-year experiment run from August 2010 to August 2011 by the Office for Personal Management — a U.S. government agency that runs the nation's civil service — that allowed employees full flexibility over where and when they worked as long as they got the job done. Thanks to a Freedom of Information request by the Federal Times, we know now that a Deloitte report evaluating the pilot program found that OPM senior managers couldn't evaluate performance of their employees, the quality of work deteriorated, and employees had little idea whether they were putting in enough time and effort.
Granted, not every attempt at full-blown telecommuting ends up like OPM's. Aetna, an insurance company, is often held up as a success story: 47 percent of its U.S. employees work from home every day. But there's also a downside to spending so much time at home. Aetna's telecommuters tend to be heavier, and the company now provides an online personal trainer to help them stay in shape.
It might also be that, contrary to some early expectations, telecommuting is not necessarily good for the environment. A 2011 article in the Annals of Regional Science found that, on average, telecommuters end up putting in more travel — on both nonwork-and work-related trips — than those who don't telecommute. (This article defines telecommuters as those who "work at home instead of going to usual workplace" once a week or more.) In other words, that they don't drive to work doesn't mean that they drive less overall. As Pengyu Zhu, the article's author, put it, "the hopes of planners and policymakers who expected the promotion of telecommuting programs to substitute for face-to-face interactions and thus reduce traditional travels remains largely unmet."
What also doesn't get nearly enough attention is just what it takes to make telecommuters stay on task. As a recent investigation by the Wall Street Journal reveals, more and more firms that have embraced full telecommuting are relying on new and sophisticated tools of surveillance to ensure that their employees are not slacking off. The employers might be taking screenshots of their computer activity or checking their browser history (while also monitoring how much time their telecommuting employees spend on each site). If employees are using their home computers for work, their privacy — and that of their relatives — might be collateral damage: Would their employers also peek, if only accidentally, at what they are browsing during the nonworking hours?
Somehow, what was supposed to be an "electronic cottage" has become an "electronic sweatshop." It's not just surveillance — it's that many employees who telecommute only occasionally end up doing far more work than before their "emancipation." This, at any rate, is what a recent study published in Monthly Labor Review, a publication of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, suggests.
Relying on two data-comprehensive sources (the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 panel and special supplements from the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey), the study has traced the evolution of telecommuting practices in the United States in the last few decades. It contains many surprising nuggets.
For instance, it seems that telecommuters (which this study defines as "employees who work regularly, but not exclusively, at home," with or without technology or special arrangement with their employer) are less likely to be married. So much for Toffler's "glued families." But the most interesting finding is that telecommuting, instead of restoring work/life balance, may have resulted in workers doing more work — but from home. As the authors put it, one plausible interpretation of their findings might be that "telecommuting has become instrumental in the general expansion of work hours, facilitating workers' needs for additional work time beyond the standard workweek and/or the ability of employers to increase or intensify work demands among their salaried employees."
In other words, telecommuters — the majority of whom still go to the office, even if less frequently than their non-telecommuting peers — are in some sort of Catch-22 here: They want to use technology to become more productive and spend more time with their families, but the availability of productivity-boosting technology also makes their managers believe that the employees will get more work done, on weekends or after dinner.
The 2008 Networked Workers survey from the Pew Research project offers some strong evidence to back up these claims, having found that "since 2002, working Americans have become more likely to check their work-related email on weekends, on vacation and before and after they go to work for the day." Perhaps telecommuters' constant connectivity means that those who physically commute have to check in more frequently, too.
Could it be that the labor-saving gadgets that were supposed to help restore our work/life balance would only make it worse? If so, historians of technology would not be much surprised by this ironic twist. In her classic "More Work for Mother," University of Pennsylvania historian Ruth Schwartz Cowan showed how the introduction of supposedly labor-saving devices into the household resulted in women doing ever more work. Gender relations aside, Schwartz's broader philosophical point was both simple and intriguing: The supposed benefits of such devices cannot be assessed in isolation from the broader social, economic and cultural context in which they are put to use.
So, short of a revolution, we, perhaps, should temper our enthusiasm for what productivity-boosting technology would deliver. As tempting as it might be to think that Google's self-driving cars will allow us to watch films instead of driving, we'd probably be spending this newly gained time glued to some boring spreadsheet. How is that for progress?

DENVER, Ind. — More than 30 bicyclists, including young children, participating in a community bike ride in this Indiana town ended up with flat tires after officials say someone sabotaged the bicycle path with nails and tacks.
Sheriff's deputies in Miami County, about 80 miles north of Indianapolis, are investing the incident that occurred during the Le Tour de Denver last weekend.
Shannon See, co-owner of Breakaway Bike and Fitness Shop, which sponsored the event, said they discovered the trail had been sabotaged when rider after rider began showing up with flat tires at a water stop along the trail.
Event and trail officials eventually located hundreds of the tacks and nails in a concentrated area along the trial, just south of Macy, Ind.
"When I saw it, I was like, 'You've got to be kidding,'" See said. "It was shocking."
Zach See, co-owner of the bike shop, said the nails had been coated in motor oil so they blended in with the asphalt. He said the oil would also make it easier for the tacks to penetrate bike tires.
He said he believed it was a planned attack on the bike ride, and not just a casual prank.
"This wasn't kids doing mailbox baseball," he said.
Zach See said one of the victims was a young girl who had two flat tires after riding over the tacks. Out of the 105 bike riders participating in the event, more than 30 had flat tires, he said.
"I was mad," he said. "This was a bike ride that was just supposed to be fun."
Shannon See said after the nails were discovered, bike riders banded together to help out, donating tire tubes and patch kits they brought with them and fixing every flat tire on the trail.
Breakaway Bike shop also shipped up tubes and repair kits to get everyone back on the road.
"Everyone helped everyone," she said. "No one was left behind. It was fantastic support by the riders and the community."
Zach See said most bikers ended up finishing the ride despite the sabotaged trail.
And if deputies discover the person responsible for what he calls the "tack attack," Zach See said he would say this to them: "Why? What did you think you'd accomplish? What you intended to hurt us only brought us together and made us stronger."
