Instructions for Mosaicing on Clay Pots
Designer Tips: If you want help your tiles stay in place while drying, just use a long strip of blue painters tape to hold sections in place. When the glue is dry, carefully remove the tape.
Instructions for Gluing on Clay Pots

Phase Technology knows how to hang—speakers, anyway. The company just introduced its new HD Series of pendant speakers.
Available in 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-inch sizes, the new HS Series offers off-axis performance and an easy install. They also look pretty cool, too.
The HS-24, HS-26, HS-28 and the long-throw HS-28LT all have Phase Technology's BroadBeam Ring, which promises a better high-frequency dispersion. Other features include a ceramic input terminal, a built-in thermal fuse, hanging and safety cables, a transformer and tap switch, and a cover plate with a weather resistant rubber plug.
The HS-15 boasts the quality of PhaseTech's 3-inch micro module speakers in a pendant style. It includes a combination audio/hanging cable with a 25:1 safety factor and mounting plate for mounting directly to a standard ceiling junction box.
"Pendant speakers such as those first brought to the market by our sister company SoundTube are a mainstay in the commercial audio world, and we have been asked for quite some time to design a Phase Technology model," said Duke Ducoff, MSE Audio VP of Sales. "These pendant speakers have attractive styling that will blend in with any open-ceiling architecture and their sonic quality is simply outstanding. They are ideal for great rooms, patios, gymnasiums, or other spaces with open ceilings."

Global Policy Council
Who Rules the World? World Powers and International Order
International relations are in a state of flux. With new powers rising and globalization intensifying the question of today is how the international system will be able to balance old and new power aspirations while simultaneously managing global interdependence.
To answer this question as well as to contribute to the development of effective strategies for Europe´s future role in world affairs the Bertelsmann Stiftung has established the Global Policy Council. The Council brings together international renowned experts from different angles and backgrounds. Among the supporters of the Global Policy Council are former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan´s former Special Advisor Lakhdar Brahimi, and the former Chilean President Lagos Escobar.
Within this framework the Bertelsmann Stiftung has also decided to investigate public perceptions of the qualities, resources and objectives of world powers. How do the citizens of future world powers view the international role of their respective countries? What dangers and opportunities do they perceive? In what kind of international order would they prefer to live?
A representative survey of public attitudes and perceptions in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, India, China, Japan and Brazil was conducted. The survey as well as our conclusions can be downloaded.

CareSuper, the largest industry fund specialising in professionals, engaged DCODR for the redevelopment of its website. The project faced numerous challenges, including heavy financial content, extensive regulatory requirements and audiences at very different stages in their working careers.
DCODR worked closely with CareSuper, conducting research with internal stakeholders and external customer focus groups. This research contributed to the development of a new information architecture for the site, and a visually strong design aimed at an emotional engagement with users.
Integrated Pools is a division of Canny, renowned as one of Melbourne's premier building and design companies. DCODR developed a website for Canny to showcase it's visually stunning pool designs, developing a clean sleek interface that allowed the strong architectural images to take centre stage.

Transition to Dynamic Pricing
A step-by-step approach to intelligent rate design.
across the continent. In most cases, published analyses focus on the behavior of the average customer. However, the databases are a fertile source of empirical information on customer response to rates that can be harnessed to test—and resolve— some of these distributional impacts that continue to be debated ad nauseum . The experimental data differ from the myriad datasets generated as part of ongoing load-research activities such as cost-of-service studies, load forecasting, and direct access compliance. Those datasets include information on hourly (and half-hourly) load shapes on a representative sample of customers. They usually don't include information on customer characteristics (such as size and type of dwelling, saturation of end uses, and sociodemographic factors) nor do they include information on customer price responsiveness, both of which are richly represented in the experimental datasets.
• Facilitate customer choice : One of the objectives of power market restructuring activities initiated in the mid-1990s was to provide more choices to customers. Initially, policymakers thought the best way to accomplish this goal was by providing choice of power supplier. They hoped competitive power suppliers also would provide choice of pricing products and services to customers. The former avenue has not been found to work for mass market customers—at least not in California, the largest state to attempt customer choice. Even in places such as Baltimore and the District of Columbia, customer-switching rates for mass-market customers are very low. Thus, a way must be found for pursuing the latter through the incumbent utility provider. This is not as difficult as it seems. The incumbent provider can design and market a variety of pricing products for customers. These would be differentiated along the risk-sharing spectrum and represent different ways of allocating risks between customers and suppliers. A middle-of-the-road option, such as critical-peak pricing, can be made the default option, and customers would have the option to switch over to any of the other options that better match their risk-taking preferences.
• Clearly and simply communicate prices and costs : Retail rate structures vary widely from state to state, with some vastly more complex than others. California's residential electricity tariffs, for example, with their increasing block structure, subsidies and surcharges, and unbundled cost structure, are among the most convoluted tariffs in the continent. And that's before California's landmark pricing experiment, the Statewide Pricing Pilot (SPP), incorporated time-varying surcharges, credits and dynamic price variation. 5
Indeed, research conducted during the SPP indicated that many customers didn't understand even the basic characteristics of their standard rates, let alone the nuances of how average and marginal prices move across rate tiers and time periods. On the other hand, the SPP showed that many customers did understand that prices were much higher during peak periods on critical days. Also, the SPP showed that time-varying prices can produce considerable peak demand reductions, even in a world of significantly increasing block tariffs and rate complexity. In other words, the SPP showed that even complex rates can produce demand response. What the SPP didn't show, however, is whether significantly greater reductions could be achieved if rates

Date, time and coverage: Sunday 23 December, kick-off at 13:30 GMT. The match will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports, or you can follow via ManUtd.com's text and radio commentaries.
Form guide: United are currently enjoying a run of five consecutive victories in the Barclays Premier League, most recently beating Sunderland at Old Trafford to maintain a six-point lead over current champions Manchester City. The Reds also travel to the Liberty Stadium with an impressive away record, having won seven of nine matches on the road this term. Swansea City should provide a stern test after earning a commendable 23 points from a possible 48 this term, although the Welsh side are without a win in two after losing to both Tottenham and Norwich.
Betting: Robin van Persie has made a blistering start to life at Old Trafford, netting an impressive 15 goals from just 21 appearances. And with bwin offering reasonable odds of 4.50 for the Dutchman to score first in Wales, some Reds will be tempted to back the in-form striker.
Ins and outs: Club captain Nemanja Vidic is in contention to start after the Serbian made a brief cameo appearance against Sunderland, but Rafael will again miss out with a hamstring strain. Jonny Evans, fresh from signing a new contract, is available but Sir Alex is still without midfielders Nani and Shinji Kagawa, who returns to first-team training on Monday. The Swans are hoping to welcome Michel Vorm, Pablo Hernandez and Angel Rangel back into the side following injuries, but Neil Taylor is still sidelined.

Set in jungle clad hills, this modern, spacious apartment provides a tranquil retreat from the noisy night life and busy day life of Koh Tao.
This Apartment forms part of Koh Tao Star Villa - a recently completed modern villa set in tranquil, jungle clad hills above Sairee Beach. This superb location gives you the best of both worlds - peace and isolation (perfect for a romantic break) and easy access to Koh Taos tourist hot spot - Sairee Beach - where there is a huge variety of bars, restaurants and clubs to suit all tastes. On a scooter or ATV, it takes less than 5 minutes to reach the beach, or a leisurely stroll takes less than 20 mins.The AmbienceSet in just under an acre of grounds, the surrounding jungle is dotted with banana, mango, papaya and coconut trees where there is also ample opportunity for a jungle trek to see some of Koh Tao that many visitors dont get to see. Then from the vantage point provided by your terrace (about 80m above sea level), you can witness the almost daily spectacle of the sea eagles cavorting in the skies above Star Villa and watch the sun settle down behind the mountains on the mainland some 70km distant. Then enjoy balmy evenings playing pool or a board game and listen to the daytime sounds of the tropical jungle become even more evocative at night. Turn off the lights, lie back and watch the splendour of the universe wheel across the night sky - on a good night, when the moon is new, you can see shooting stars and even the odd satellite pass over. If you would rather be inside, what about a quiet night in, in front of the T.V. or just listen to the many choices of music supplied over the T.V./satelliteBehind KTSV is a Buddhist temple, preserved as a retreat for monks on strict sabbatical from around Thailand and Myanmar. It is even possible to climb the rock behind the Villa (from the temple side) to see a fantastic 360 degree panorama of the island.

Giardiasis is an infection of the small intestine caused by a tiny parasite called Giardia lamblia.
Giardia; Traveler's diarrhea - giardiasis
The parasite lives in soil, food, and water. It may also be found on surfaces that have come into contact with animal or human waste.
You may become infected if you:
Travelers are at risk for giardiasis throughout the world. Campers and hikers are at risk if they drink untreated water from streams and lakes.
The time between infection and symptoms is 7 - 14 days.
Some people with Giardia have no symptoms.
Diarrhea is the main symptom. Other symptoms include:
Some people who have had Giardia infections for a long time continue having symptoms even after the infection is gone.
Tests that may be done include:
If there are no symptoms or mild symptoms, no treatment may be needed. Some infections go away on their own within a few weeks.
Medicines may be used for:
Most people respond to treatment. A change in antibiotic therapy will be tried if symptoms do not go away. Side effects from some of the medications used to treat this condition include:
In most pregnant women, treatment should wait until after delivery. Some drugs used to treat the infection can be harmful to the unborn baby.
Call your health care provider if:
Purify all stream, pond, river, lake, or well water before drinking it. Use methods such as boiling, filtration, or iodine treatment.
Workers in day care centers or institutions should use good handwashing and hygiene techniques when going from child to child or patient to patient.
Safer sexual practices
may decrease the risk of contracting or spreading giardiasis. People practicing anal sex should be especially careful.
Peel or wash fresh fruits and vegetables before eating them.

Husband-and-wife entrepreneurs David Bousfield and Rebecca Lonergan Bousfield founded modwalls® in 2005. Their goal? To create the modern, colorful, economical and well made tile designs that they were unable to find during their own home remodels. Now eight years later the modwalls® brand is thriving with loyal customers in the design and hospitality world, as well as homeowners throughout North America who are seeking something different than they are able to find in most brick and mortar showrooms or big box home goods stores.
Modwalls' aesthetic is modern and mid century inspired. What we're really all about is designing cool and colorful tile, and making it available online for anyone to buy and enjoy in their own home or commercial space. In recent years we've been expanding our brand through creative partnerships with artisans like Rex Ray Studio, Henry Road, Clayhaus and Atomic Ranch Magazine.

Yes. I can Hell I already did.
Don't ask stupid questions... sorry but everyone knows the answer
as much as i hate messi, i have to admit that he is far more talented than cr7
You could ask Ronaldo or Falcou .. but you can't compare him to Messi
I'm a Ronaldo fan, however I do believe Messi is more skilled.
Without doubt, current messi Oped than CR7 tho im personally a fan of CR7

messi is nothing without his team mates
we saw that while he play in the national team(arg) and look at his goals all are passes from his team mates

Messi +1 from me
world cup he only only scored 1 goal he is a totaly a failure
cristiano made his team the 3rd over europe in the last euro2012 !!
and messi he lost with his team in copa america!
and his goals are from passes from his team mates and all vs malaga , athlitico ,deportivo did he scored vs bigger clubs like chelsea in Champions league? did he leads his team to win over chelsea the answer is noooo he lost a penalty the what he did
even tho real madrid lost vs bayern in the champions but cristiano leads his team to the penalties
Cristiano deserves the ballon 'dor for 2012
cristiano all the way

I have tried different brands of kelp powder and this is the worst. The color is not green as good quality kelp should be. Instead it is a clay color. Also the taste and smell are not reminiscent of the ocean, as good kelp is. It smells like clay and tastes like clay. I should have known better than to order the Starwest brand, since I ordered their nettles before and it was very poor quality. However, I took a chance on their kelp because I figured that kelp would be difficult to downgrade into poor quality. Needless to say, I have learned my lesson. I will never buy the Starwest brand again. I will have to use what I bought for my plants and maybe for applying to my thighs for reducing cellulite, as another reviewer suggested. Try the Frontier brand for better quality kelp powder. Try Mountain Rose Herbs for the best quality.

I feed a raw diet to my dogs and add kelp for it's mineral content. The added benefit over the years has been that their teeth stay plaque free. I stopped using kelp for a while and noticed the tartar return which proved to me that the kelp has an anti-plaque effect. This powder mixes in quite well with their food and they seem to like the slightly fishy taste.

I like this kelp powder, because it's so finely ground. Most products that I have seen are too coarse for minerals to effectively assimilate into your body. Of course this kelp tastes terrible, as all kelp does, but you can try to blend it with something else to hide the taste. Maca powder works surprisingly well in this regard, and maca is healthy to eat in itself.

WASHINGTON - A marathon is supposed to end with smiles, maybe tears of joy and certainly exhaustion. It is not supposed to end with carnage and blood on the streets. The horror that struck Boston last week makes some people wonder: Could it happen in D.C., too?
Boston is the third largest marathon in the country, behind New York and Chicago.
D.C.'s Marine Corps Marathon -- "the people's marathon" -- is No. 4. This year's 38th Marine Corps Marathon takes place on Oct. 27.
"We are looking at the whole spectrum of safety and security measures that are reasonable," says Rick Nealis, director of the Maine Corps Marathon.
Nealis won't go into specifics, but notes he works with multiple layers of local, state and federal law enforcement on safety issues surrounding the marathon. And while the marathon is run by civilians, it is headquartered at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., enabling Nealis and his staff to turn to the military for guidance and support.
Security is a complex job for any big sporting event, and a marathon presents special challenges.
"It is not like going to a baseball stadium or the Verizon Center," Nealis says. "It is not in a building with turnstiles."
A marathon is an open course with supporters cheering runners as they make their way along 26.2 miles of paved roads. Nealis acknowledges providing security while limiting restrictions on crowd movement is "a balance," noting there can be anywhere from 50,000 to 100,00 people lining the streets.
It hasn't always been this way.
Marathons have enjoyed huge growth over the years, and there was a time when the biggest security problem was making sure vehicles didn't drive on to the course. But all that changed after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
"We were the first race," Nealis says, remembering the Marine Corps Marathon in 2001. "Every other event had been canceled in September and October."
The Marine Corps Marathon staff, working with Marine officials at Quantico, constructed an ambitious security plan for the 2001 marathon, including a 360-degree perimeter around the finish line and special chemical and biological weapons squads. Six weeks after the terrorists struck -- on Oct. 28 -- 15,000 runners showed up at the starting line.
The race field for 2013 is capped at 30,000, and Nealis has a message for marathoners who are now uneasy or scared. He urges them to find peace and comfort in their running.
He also says runners need to remember that the race organizers are focused on one mission: To make sure this year's Marine Corps Marathon is safe and secure.

It all began with a desire for an area where the family could hang out and have fun. Jim and Jannette Holmes were in the midst of a renovation when they thought of converting a portion of their 1939 Dutch Colonial into a modern home theater.
"Jannette and I are big movie buffs, and watching shows is one of the things we like to do together with our kids," says Jim. The couple could have designated the new 1,200-square-foot addition on the back of their house as the entertainment area, but their architect suggested placing it somewhere more isolated from the main living spots—such as in the crawlspace.
Like any crawlspace, the one in the Holmes' house was in no shape to handle a big-screen and a surround-sound system, much less a group of people. For starters, the ceiling was too low, which meant the space would have to be dug out by three feet. Walls and floors would have to be added, as well as lighting and ventilation. And the entire area would need to be wired from top to bottom for all the audio and video equipment that would eventually occupy it.
It would be a huge undertaking to convert the dark, dingy space into something family friendly, but Jim and Jannette were convinced that the lower level was the best spot for a home theater. Located away from the rest of the house, the subterranean space would allow them to entertain friends without waking the kids and to design it however they liked without having to blend it in with the traditional decor upstairs.
Home Theater Tech Choices Trim Budget
The timing couldn't have been better for calling in a home systems installer to start planning the electronics. Working with the unfinished area would be like having a blank slate for the team at Media Connections of Teaneck, NJ. "We had grand ideas for the space," says company president Duane Smith. "We thought about putting in a screen that would drop down from the ceiling and using a high-end video projector."
But the Holmes family was already shelling out top dollar to make the basement livable. "We had to be careful about keeping the cost of the system down," Smith notes. That didn't mean skimping on quality but rather designing the space in a slightly different manner than he had originally planned. "Fixing the screen to the wall rather than motorizing it to lower from the ceiling was a huge cost saver, as was using a $350 handheld remote control instead of a $4,000 touchscreen-style controller." Choosing a single-chip DLP projector instead of a three-chip model also helped save Jim and Jannette more than $10,000.
Media Connections completed the system with five modest but solid-performing surround-sound speakers from TruAudio, a Sony audio/video receiver, a Sony five-disc DVD/SACD changer, a Sony VCR and a high-def cable box.
"When it was all said and done, we cut the cost of the room by as much as 75 percent from our original plan," says Smith.
The style, colors and tone of the room, however, make it look like something a lot more expensive. Jannette chose warm colors for the walls and ceiling to cozy up the room and incorporated a comfy sectional and two sunshine yellow chairs for plenty of seating. The sectional sits on an 8-inch platform, so even if the kids are laying on the couch, they can see over the heads of Mom and Dad sitting in the chairs in front.
Jim and Jannette got even more bang for their buck by designing the home theater for activities besides watching movies. "We thought we'd get more use out of the room by also making it a place that was comfortable to hang out in," explains Jim. The chairs swivel so that they can face the couch, giving the couple a great place to converse with friends. And when they simply want to relax with music, the same TruAudio speakers that fire movie dialogue and effects into the room can fill the space with their favorite tunes. In the future, they plan to convert another area of the basement into a gym, making the 18-by-20-foot area truly multipurpose.
Audio Distribution Throughout the House
The home theater is just one place where music fills the air. A Crestron distribution system routes audio from the multidisc CD changer and radio tuner in the home theater to every room of the house, as well as outside. "We like all kinds of music," says Jannette. "Rock, pop, Jimmy Buffet, you name it."
Speakers were planted into the ceilings and walls throughout the residence, and weather-hardy units were mounted to the exterior. "The outdoor speakers get the most use," Jannette continues. "We use them just about every weekend." Using wall-mounted keypads, family members can cue the system, choose a source and tell the music where to go—everywhere or to just one room. Several keypads are located throughout the residence, so there's always one nearby.
If the family is in the mood for something in particular, they can view the song titles in their CD changer from a wall-mounted touchscreen in the kitchen or in the home theater. Touchscreens were recently installed in place of a few keypads so the Holmeses could wade through their 200-plus CD collection faster and easier. "We found that the keypads were fine for turning on the system, adjusting the volume and skipping tracks," Jim explains. "But the touchscreens allow us to see exactly what songs we're putting on."
Another recent upgrade is an AudioRequest hard-disc drive music server. The family's CDs are being gradually converted to MP3s and burned onto the drive. Once they're all there, the songs can be grouped into playlists that Jim and Jannette can access from the touchscreens. The couple will also be able to select songs by artist and genre. "Plus, I'll be able to put all my iTunes onto the system," says Jim.
Tech Upgrade for the Family Room
While the home theater and whole-house music system keep the family well entertained, Jim and Jannette knew they could also benefit from an electronics update in the family room. "This is where the kids spend the most time," says Jim, "so it was important that space got a good system, too."
The room sports a 50-inch plasma TV, a high-definition cable box with digital video recording, and a Sony VCR and DVD player, giving the family plenty of entertainment sizzle. In-ceiling speakers switch from movie audio to music, just like the speakers in the lower-level home theater, and the same type of remote is used to control the gear.
It's a setup that suits Jim and Jannette's lifestyle to a "T." Although the components that make up their entertainment systems may not be terribly sophisticated, together they create a home environment that's comfortable, easy to manage and best of all, fun.
"Throughout this process, we've learned that having a great system is less about the equipment and more about how you're going to use the room," Jim confirms. For the Holmes family, it was more important that their entertainment systems be easy to use and comfortable to live with than expensive and elaborate. Jim and Jannette may not have spent top dollar on their home theater, speakers and controls, but when that projector fires up or music drifts out to the patio, they feel like they've hit the jackpot.

Be Careful of Silica packet.

I like the product just fine, but I want to warn people to be careful of the very small silica packet. I was making a smoothie one day and noticed something small and white go into the blender with the seeds. It was a very small silica packet. I barely noticed it, it was very small, I could have blended it in my smoothie and not have known it. Please be careful and watch out for the packet if you purchase this.
very versatile!

this is recommended for energy & endurance; i haven't noticed a huge difference yet but i've only been taking it for a week. however, i discovered something so neat i want to share it--chia is a great vehicle for supplements that don't dissolve well!!! i put 1-2 teaspoons in 1/4-1/3 cup of water, juice or coconut milk, let it sit 15 minutes, and then mix in supplements such as psyllium, dolomite, azomite, or creatine; they get "suspended" in the mucilage and don't sink to the bottom. i used to have to stir, gulp, add more liquid, stir again and then not only would i still get that grit in my mouth (or in the glass), i'd feel like my gut was gonna bust from all the water! it's a little slimy, like egg whites, but i'm getting used to it. it's also great in baking; if you soak the seeds first, the consistency helps bind the ingredients, adds moisture and fluffiness, and looks like poppy seeds! i also mixed some chia with toasted sesame seeds and sea salt for a nice seasoning for rice, salad etc--or just as a little snack!
Wonderful supplement!

Updated April 1, 2012
Shrien and Anni Dewani on their wedding day. (Photo was handed out to the media.)
Both brilliant and beautiful, Anni Dewani was shot to death on her honeymoon outside Cape Town, South Africa during a carjacking that her millionaire husband, Shrien Dewani, survived. The three men convicted of the murder say the young husband hired them to kill his wife. London-based Dewani is fighting extradition.
The names of the places sounded exotic: Gugulethu. Lingelethu. Khayelitsha. Chitwa Chitwa. They created images of beautiful people dancing to the beat of drums on a hot summer night.
To the cops in their dark blue uniforms, who stood around the white Volkswagen Sharan, abandoned in the place that bore the name Lingelethu, there was nothing exotic though about the young woman who lay sprawled across the vehicle's rear seat. Two holes between her shoulders and another in her neck from which her blood had flowed freely so that most of the inside of the car was covered in blood, told them that the young woman was dead.
They knew her name: Anni Dewani.
They were wondering how they were going to tell her husband Shrien, who had in the first hour of that morning reported her missing and was anxiously waiting at a nearby luxury hotel, what they had found.

You are part of Fender history. It's simple—if you've picked up and played a Fender instrument anytime in the past 60 years, you are part of the soundtrack of the planet.
It's true. And it's no exaggeration to say that without Fender instruments and amps as we've long known them, and without the boundless creativity of players worldwide for well more than half a century, music simply wouldn't sound the way it does. Many are famous for having done so, but the sound of modern music is the sound of anyone who has ever eyed a Fender instrument and felt moved to pick it up and make sound with it.
So congratulations, because that means you. If you're one of literally millions who have picked up and played a Fender guitar or bass, you are part of Fender history.
In fact, here's another take on Fender history, focused into a single paragraph:
Buddy Holly. Jimi Hendrix. Keith Richards. The Ventures. The Beach Boys. The Yardbirds. The Beatles. The Clash. Pink Floyd. Bruce Springsteen. Dee Dee Ramone. Eric Clapton. Television. Nile Rodgers. Talking Heads. Merle Haggard. Iron Maiden. The Smiths. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Elvis Costello. Rush. Buddy Guy. The Police. Dinosaur Jr. Kurt Cobain. Vince Gill. U2. Green Day. John Frusciante. Smashing Pumpkins. Brad Paisley. Tom Morello. My Bloody Valentine. Blink-182. Slipknot. Jimmy Eat World. Woodstock. Live Aid. Lollapalooza. Coachella.
And that's the short list.
Fender and rock 'n' roll are synonymous, period. Not bad for a company founded in sunny Southern California in 1946 by a guy who didn't even play guitar. It all started modestly enough?;and ten whole years before rock 'n' roll, at that?;but Fender gradually became a worldwide musical and cultural institution thanks to one of the most brilliantly fertile creative streaks in history and thanks to the brilliance and devotion of some of the sharpest minds and most passionate hearts in the musical instrument industry, then and now.
Founder Clarence "Leo" Fender (1909-1991) personally invented or at least oversaw development of the six instruments and stable of great amps on which Fender's worldwide empire still stands tall. Never mind that the Telecaster® (1950), Stratocaster® (1954), Precision Bass® (1951), Jazzmaster® (1958), Jazz Bass® (1960) and Jaguar® (1962) guitars were ingeniously designed with remarkably enduring elegance and simplicity; they just sounded great, played comfortably and looked cooler than cool.
They did more than that, though?;Fender guitars set people free; letting them unleash oceans of personal creativity and leading to sounds, recordings and performances that have helped define the music and culture of well more than half a century.
Leo Fender sold the company bearing his name to CBS in 1965. Long story short, while plenty of fine instruments continued to be produced in the 1960s and well into the 1970s, quality steadily eroded under the not-too-watchful CBS eye to the point that, by the early 1980s, Fender was dangerously close to vanishing forever. We're talking really close to the brink. That's when Bill Schultz took over.
William Schultz (1926-2006) was the energetic, resourceful and charismatic president of Fender at the time. When CBS jettisoned all its non-broadcast holding in the mid-'80s, Schultz assembled a small group of investors to buy the ailing company. With few resources at their disposal, Schultz and the people who formed what was left of Fender slowly engineered the company's rebirth. Guitar by guitar and amp by amp, they created the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation as it exists today.
As it was at its founding and has been throughout each era in its history, Fender is for everybody. Fender instruments are more than just played. They are prized, revered, written about, coveted, copied, fussed, fawned, fantasized and fought over. People change their lives for them. People become who they want to be with them.
In short, Fender is for you. And because of that, history is just getting started...
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation is an equal opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, gender, age, color, religion, disability, veterans' status, sexual orientation, or any other protected factor

- Wow Factor
There are 16 zones of audio, eight LCD TVs, eight high-definition satellite sources, a Kaleidescape hard drive–based music and movie server and a 55-inch plasma that rises out of a cabinet. That's enough cutting-edge entertainment for a large house—except this setup is on a boat.
Though we really should say yacht. The owner already had a home system from electronics installer Atlantic Stereo, and he wanted the same quality on his 92 footer from Paragon Yachts. As with any space-consuming system on a seafaring vessel, that was more easily said than done. "What made it complex was that the system had to be installed in a tight space," says systems designer Xeven Zorra of ArchiTechKnowlogy Design Group, whom Atlantic Stereo called in to plan the system.
Custom bundles of cables containing five Category 5 high-speed data cables, an RG6 video cable, and a Cresnet cable for the Crestron "home" control system were made so the boatbuilders could add them easily during the yacht's construction in Taiwan. The final trim-out and programming of the systems were completed in California.
Atlantic Stereo had to build custom racks set in an array above the pilot house for the 800 pounds of electronics. The components within the racks serve up music and video to four staterooms, a crew quarters, the galley and the forward and aft decks, and there's a rockin' surround-sound system in the salon.
In the plush and well-appointed salon, a 55-inch Fujitsu plasma HDTV rises from the woodwork on an Auton motorized lift, as in-ceiling Dynaudio and Sonance speakers crank out the sounds powered by a Krell 7.1 surround-sound processor.
Each of the guest staterooms and the crew quarters has a 20-inch widescreen Sharp LCD, with two Sonance Symphony Extreme in-ceiling weatherproof speakers. In the closet of each cabin and on a stainless-steel bracket is an Xbox 360 game console that can be used as a DVD player. The steel bracket also supports a Crestron Cat-5 room solution box hidden behind the closet wall; it receives the audio/video signals over Cat 5 wire from the central racks. The master stateroom features a surround-sound system with a 42-inch Fujitsu plasma.
The yacht owners can call up movies and music over the Kaleidescape system. One Kaleidescape player in the upper pilot house area is used for playing DVDs purchased abroad (DVDs are encoded by region).
A 17-inch widescreen Crestron touchpanel in the galley functions as a HDTV and can show a blueprint of the boat and highlight which speakers are currently on, for instance.
The back main deck is served by four speakers and two subwoofers built into the headliner. Two pairs of speakers pipe music to the forward deck, and four more speakers are on the flybridge for those enjoying the Jacuzzi and the views. Waterproof Crestron remotes command the entertainment on deck, and an iPod dock in the salon allows music to be inserted into the system.
That's a whole lot of whole-house—or we should say whole-yacht—entertainment.

Slow Fe Side Effects
Generic Name: ferrous sulfate
Note: This page contains side effects data for the generic drug ferrous sulfate. It is possible that some of the dosage forms included below may not apply to the brand name Slow Fe.
It is possible that some side effects of Slow Fe may not have been reported. These can be reported to the FDA here. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.
For the Consumer
Applies to ferrous sulfate: capsules, drops, elixir, liquid, tablets
Other dosage forms:
Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur while taking ferrous sulfate (the active ingredient contained in Slow Fe)
Constipation; darkened or green stools; diarrhea; loss of appetite; nausea; stomach cramps, pain, or upset; vomiting.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); black, tarry stools; blood or streaks of blood in the stool; fever; severe or persistent nausea, stomach pain, or vomiting; vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to ferrous sulfate: compounding powder, oral capsule extended release, oral delayed release tablet, oral elixir, oral liquid, oral syrup, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release
Gastrointestinal side effects are generally dose-related and have included nausea, constipation, anorexia, heartburn, vomiting, and diarrhea. In addition, stools may appear darker in color in patients taking ferrous sulfate (the active ingredient contained in Slow Fe)
Oral preparations of ferrous sulfate may rarely cause Hemoccult-positive stools, patients with positive tests generally require further work-up.
Gastrointestinal side effects are dose-related with approximately 25% of patients experiencing side effects at a dosage of 325 mg three times a day.
Gastrointestinal discomfort may be minimized by initiating ferrous sulfate therapy at smaller doses and gradually titrating upwards until the desired dose is achieved.
Administering each dose with food may also minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. However, concurrent administration of ferrous sulfate with food may decrease the amount of iron absorbed.
Due to the small amount of iron released and absorbed, the use of enteric-coated or delayed release ferrous sulfate preparations may reduce gastrointestinal side effects; however, these products are not recommended for use.
Constipation may be relieved by administering docusate sodium 100 mg to 200 mg per day in addition to increasing the intake of oral fluids, such as water.
Other side effects have included stained teeth and iron overload (hemosiderosis). Secondary hemochromatosis due to prolonged iron ingestion has been reported rarely.
Stained teeth have primarily occurred following ingestion of ferrous sulfate liquid preparation. Liquid dosage forms should be diluted in juice or water and sipped through a straw to aid in prevention of staining.
Iron overload (i.e., hemosiderosis) has been reported in patients genetically predisposed, or have underlying disorders, that augment the absorption of iron. It has also occurred following administration of excessive parenteral iron therapy, combination of oral and parenteral iron, or in patients with hemoglobinopathies that were erroneously diagnosed as iron deficiency anemia. Hemosiderosis is treated with repeated phlebotomy or long-term administration of deferoxamine. The liver is particularly susceptible to toxicity in iron-overload states.
Immunologic side effects have rarely included gastroenteritis associated with Yersinia enterocolitica and Listeria monocytogenes in patients with iron overload status receiving treatment with deferoxamine.
It has been hypothesized that gastroenteritis is caused by bacteria that become virulent in the presence of iron overload resulting in a systemic infection. Treatment consists of discontinuing deferoxamine and initiating appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Local side effects have included gangrene.
Localized corrosion has been reported in a pregnant woman taking ferrous sulfate (tablet) that lodged in a Meckels diverticulum.
There have also been reports of wax-matrix ferrous sulfate tablets (delayed-release) lodging in the bowels of patients with strictures.
Metabolic side effects have included decreased absorption of thyroxine (T4).
