I have mixed emotions about this bass, though I'll start with the good stuff.
It is definitely a high quality bass:
- beautifully presented (mine is transparent Wine Red, inlays, binding etc.)
- a fantastic range of tones
- impeccably playable
- on the heavy side, though passable.
There is no question that the American Deluxe Jazz is a high quality bass, though I hesitate to recommend it to the world.
The reason for my hesitation is that I am not sure the Am Dlx Jazz is really worth buying this over the American Standard. The tangible difference between the Deluxe and the Standard Jazz bass is aesthetics - the American Standard is otherwise equally nice to play (playability, tone etc.).
The American Deluxe Jazz is a treat - it is an indulgence for sure. If however, you don't care for the bling, go with the American Standard Jazz.
I have both the Deluxe and Standard so I am hedged :-)

I bought the Sunburst version of this bass after I played with the red wine in a store locally. I proceeded with an order from my store, and it arrived 2 months later. When I opened the case, the smell was incredibly good! This bass is probably the best piece of craftmanship, (except for what you'll read below): the neck is simply perfect in every aspect!! I didn't expect it, but despite the long way traveling in the shipping, it arrived straight with a very nice and fine touch.
The first test in the store was OK. Two days later, I had my first gig with my band, and this is where things went a bit wrong: this was probably the strongest noise I ever heard from any basses I have played. Wow!!! How could it be possible??? Fender sells it with pickups called N3 Noiseless. Sooooo noisy! I couldn't continue to play with it on the gig, I had to switch back to my Select Active Jazz Bass instead. Such a disappointment! My luthier took it for some tests and the bridge pickup looked to be the most noisy, but the neck pickup was noisy as well. We tried to shield id, and so on, but nothing did the trick. As well, the tone is not good: no character, no spirit, simply flat and I wasn't able to "find my sound", passive or active. I finally got those pickups switched for Lindy Fralin Split-Jazz pickups, and man!!! What a difference!!!! I now have a true powerful classic Jazz Bass sound, bold enough, with full of growl!!! I now LOVE the bass!! And it's dead quiet!!!
I still consider it a shame that Fender makes the American Deluxe body routed under the pickguard! I really don't understand that! H Ok for a Squier, not for an American Deluxe!! Finally, why are the body dimension and pickguard is different from other Jazz Basses??
Other than that, I now love mine, especially since the pickup swap!

That's my first American Deluxe Jazz Bass, and it's really amazing.
The sound is very harmonic and balanced. Not so hard as the precision basses and not so crashed as the standard jazz basses. But really solid, smooth, bright and clean sound.
I think this is the matured soul of the Jazz Bass.
In Brazil this machine starts from 4,000 up to 5,000. It means unreal, but it's true.
Anyway. I'm here, very happy with my new Fender.

While I was at a Fender deal negotiating on another bass, I came upon an American Deluxe Jazz in 4 and 5 string trim.
The 5 string out of the box was busted, the volume pot rotated 360 degrees and did nothing and the stack pots were stuck making it difficult to turn the top layer without the bottom doing the same. Because of this, I almost ignored picking up the 4 string.. it was really wonderful.
My style covers 40 years of playing a wide variety of music styles, and while this bass won't cover what a old Hofner will do for Beatles tunes, I was very impressed with what it would do - fast staccato lines, harmonics, slapping double handed fret board, chords —were all extremely clean and crystal clear. The bass was lightweight enough including the neat new molded case that standing for hours with this bass will be easier than other J Basses I own.
Price was highly negotiable.
So, depending on your style you need this much less expensive alternative to some boutique basses in your tool box of go-to sounds on a fun to play bass.

Finally purchased my American Deluxe Jazz Bass after 9 months of saving the cash. Love the way it feels and plays, love the look of the bass. The "noiseless pickups" and electronics are 100% garbage. The bass sounded great in the store at low volume. I first suspected a problem at my first band rehearsal when the volume was louder but thought that maybe it was the electric circuits in our rehearsal space. At the first gig, at our gig volume, I had to stop using the bass after one song because the electronics were so noisy. Took the bass back to where I bought it, they checked it out and said nothing was wrong, maybe it was my cables. Bought all new cables for the next gig and had the same problem, at gig volume the pickups were too noisy to use the bass. Took it back a second time and the store owner agreed to replace the pickups under warranty. After a few weeks I had new pickups, took the bass to my gig and the same problem existed, not as noisy as the first set of pickups but too noisy to use. Back to the music store again where the only resolution was to replace the pickups and electronics. Except this time I replaced with Bartolini. Finally have the bass back and I have a great sounding bass with quiet electronics. I do want to note that prior to my purchase I was aware that the "noiseless pickups" could be a problem and be anything but noiseless. But, being a Fender enthusiast I bought the American Deluxe anyway. If you want a great sounding, dead quiet 18v active bass from Fender, buy the new Dimension bass. The sound of the Dimension far exceeds the stock American Deluxe electronics.

The American Deluxe Jazz Bass V is luxury to look, playability or sound. It offers a wide range and variability of sounds suitable for many music genres. I play another bass (an Ibz BTB 605, which is an awesome bass too) too, but the concretness of Deluxe's tone is incomparable and awesome. I cried when I opened the case :-) It's an elegant instrument for life

I have been playing for four decades and own five different fender basses, a Laakland, Rickenbacker 4003, Music Man five string, and a Peavy.
You cannot find a bass that will give you the flexibility of different tones and warmth and deep bottom that the Deluxe jazz will. No matter what I play, I always return to Fender. Nothing like Fender!

I'm from Brazil and got this bass in January 2012. It has always been my dream of consumption. Today, it is a total pleasure whenever I play, regardless of style. Thank Fender ..
callaveraz owns this item
I have always wanted to own an American-made Fender. And now I finally laid my hands on the awesome American Deluxe Jazz Bass natural finish. It was a toss-up between this and the Marcus Miller V but opted for this because, although I am a Marcus Miller fan, the MM V was a bit too "in-your-face". Thanks, Fender.
paramalingam owns this item
I wanted this Bass, first of all because it's gorgeous. I got the natural finish and it's a beautiful instrument. Second of all, you can only get this tone in one place. Fender Jazz. It's a unique tone... "The Funkmaster" I call it. This version, with its 18V preamp lives up to that tone and then some. You can have it passive or active with a flick of a switch to give you more versatility. I got it at a great price and all in all it's worth the money. This is an instrument that you hand down to your kids. The only complaints I have is that it's more susceptible to noise than I would expect. The "Noiseless" pickups are most certainly not noiseless. For being a top of the line model, more care should be taken to shield this instrument. It was a little bit of a handful to get used to coming from an Ibanez, but that's not really a con, per say. I just needed to get used to playing a Fender. Don't hesitate though if you have the dough... Great buy.
axan owns this item
The best all around bass, with lots of tonal capability, amazing wood grain pattern, top class craftmanship and "buttery" feel!! Fender really nailed this one.
This was my first Fender-bass and I dont regret anything. It was much money for me to spend, but this bass is simply awesome!
Every feature is useful, sounds great and feels great.
I already wrote a review in German, here is the link: http://www.musiker-board.de/reviews-bass/505215-bass-fender-american-deluxe-jazzbass-rw-ow-2011-a.html
So, if you can get the money, spend it in this great instrument, you will love it also in 20 years!

This is my second American Deluxe Jazz, the upgrades are superior, the quality is awesome. I will never play anything else, I am a fender player all the way
tafilmer owns this item
I purchased the white with rosewood neck about 8 months ago. I have, and still own basses from other manufacturers in this price range. I can honestly say the craftsmanship is comparable with my other basses in this range. The difference is in the tone. The Fender American Deluxe Jazz has many tones that can only come from the design and features of this bass. It can sound down low and dirty, to bright, clean, and distinct. It will fill many musical styles. If you've never owned this bass try one through your favorite amp. You will be very pleased!
Gary4 owns this item
The American Deluxe Jazz is for the bass player who wants classic Fender Jazz Tone and a little bit more. You get a little bit more in the onboard preamp's ability to condition the tone and a little bit more in the 22 fret neck.... another E! The shape of the body is sleek and sexy and lighter than the Standard Jazz. And all in all the guitar is sleeker in design and more 'modern' looking. But it's still a Fender Jazz!

I wanted a Fender Jazz Bass since I was 14. With hard work and dedication, I finally could afford a Fender, and to my total surprise, the USA Deluxe series was redesigned to my exact dream specs of my wish - the color, the playability, the hardware and electronics - all of them were packed in this bass. So I went ahead and bought the Natural USA Deluxe Jazz Bass in 2010. The playability is astonishing, many fellow bass players from amateur to professional have tried my bass and always wonder how I got the action so low. There are no secrets: it's just an awesome Fender.

Enzymedica GlutenEase and Enzymedica, Digest God Enzymes work fantastic together!

Purchased at iHerb
I prefer these two products (Enzymedica, Digest Gold Enzyme and Enzymedica, GlutenEase) together rather than alone. Both in my mind are at least a 4 star alone, but when you combine them together they both become a 5 star and really work hard to relieve bloating and the uncomfortableness of certain foods. They are both good products to use if you are on the SCD Diet (Special Carbohydrate Diet) to help with the healing process of the gut. Enzymedica has no hidden additives that will hurt your gut and like I said before it works along with the SCD Diet and does not bring any hidden ingredients that will make healing the gut more difficult. Not like some products that use Inulin or Maltodextrin as an additive. These two, Enzymedica, Digest Gold Enzyme and Enzymedica, GlutenEase are safe from any extra additives. You get what exactly what Enzymes it says on the back of the bottle nothing less and nothing more. AND, yes I believe it's worth the cost of the two products together.
Great product!

I read that so far, there is no set standard measuring amount for the DPP-IV that is the active ingredient in these. But this number is "higher" than others so I chose it, as well as the brand is a good one. Other brands are in different measurement amounts so it's impossibe to compare huts to mgs to iu's, etc....
works fine!!

When Spring rolls around you'll want to have adorable outfits for your little girl. The Little Girl Bubble Dress by Jessica Gerblick is perfect for family gatherings or picnics. Let this free sewing tutorial show you how to make a dress they'll love to wear.
Let's Get Cutting:
Cut (1) of your Length x 44" W fabric.
For the Width, I simply cut a long strip, as we will be gathering the waist around the top of the dress...mine happens to be 36"W x 22" Long.
Let's Get Sewing:
Sew a line of gathering stitches along the top edge of the skirt, and another line of gathering stitches approx. 2" beneath that row.
Gather the top line of stitches until the skirt is the same width around as the shirt.
With fabric wrong side out, slip around shirt upside down with skirt seam in the back center, and with right sides together, pin to shirt. Sew. See Photo:
It helps to use zig zag stitches when sewing cotton to knit for a little extra stretchy room.
The top of your skirt is now in place. To turn this into a bubble skirt, we will now be doing the following...
Sew a line of gathering stitches along the bottom edge of the skirt.
Now lift the entire skirt up towards the neckline, so that the bottom of the shirt is showing.
Take the bottom skirt hem and pin to the shirt. This will result in enclosing the raw gathered edges of the hem. (You can alter your skirt length here by determining where you pin the bottom of the skirt to the shirt.)

Zanzibar—Bwejuu and Stone Town—report (long)
- el_lobo_solo Aug 25, 2010 12:20 AM
To have some down-time after the Rwanda sojourn, I spent a week on the island of Zanzibar. I was really excited to check out the island's cuisine with the obvious seafood combined with the African, European, Arabic, and Asian (Indian) influences. The meals were ok to delicious; unfortunately, like I experienced in Rwanda, the seafood, with some nice pieces of fish, were often over-cooked. And like Rwanda, sometimes the food took 2 hours to come out. Most meals were about $6-8USD, aside from the splurge at the roof top resto at 236 Hurumzi. When I went $1USD = 1500 TSh (Tanzanian shillings). I wish I'd brought back some of the famous spiced coffee, although I think I can add some cardamom pods to my cuppa joe at home.
The following are photos from some meals in both places.
Bwejuu—Upepo Beach Bungalows
About a 45 minute drive from the capital Stone Town, Bwejuu is on the east coast of the island and definitely quiet, even during the summer high season. I think more people stayed at nearby Paje. I chose to stay at Upepo based on the reviews about its owner / chef. Of course, when I arrive, I find out he's spending 5 months in Canada. Anyway, the staff was so friendly and helpful. I got hooked on the chapattis and always ordered them as a side. Loved the garlic sauce with the prawns. Enjoyed the coconut crab on spaghetti. And disappointed the kingfish masala was a bit bland and the sauce dominated the fish.
re: el_lobo_solo
First time had lunch here in this Dutch-managed place. Nicely decorated. The tuna steak was a bit dry, but I liked the coconut rice. On another afternoon, I had some cocktails including a punch and another concoction with vodka, lime, and honey.
re: el_lobo_solo
this is supposed to be with P. Diana below
Bwejuu—P.Diana Restaurant
Rashid, the owner and sometimes cook, is very friendly. I went here for lunch a couple of times. Food came out relatively quicker than other places. Really liked the spicy coconut crab / shrimp with coconut rice. The modest resto is on the 2nd floor with a stunning view of the clear turquoise waters.
Stone Town—Passing Show
Rashid recommended this cheap, busy place. Went here for a couple of lunches. Filled with locals. First time I had this chicken stew / dish. Don't recall the name of aside from its beginning with a "u". I remember the sauce had cashews. The chicken was boiled and came with a dumpling. I added some chilli sauce for some kick. The next day I had the chicken pilau, which I liked better. The biryani also looked good.
Stone Town—Forodhani Gardens
Awesome views of the sunset from this lively place. The seafood offerings represented the bounty from the local waters—tuna, kingfish, barracuda, shark, marlin, octopus, crab, lobster, shrimps, and so on. The skewers ranged in price up to $5. But everything looks to have been cooked already and the vendor simply heated things up. I got caught up taking photos that I didn't notice how and where the vendor heated up my (dry) tuna skewer.
The "Zanzibar pizza" looked promising; I liked how the vendor described it as "Zanzibar okonomiyaki". It was a filled chapatti with my chosen kingfish, chopped veggies, cheese (la vache qui rit), and egg cooked on a griddle. I had to ask for some hot sauce for more flavour.
My fave at the gardens was the refreshing sugar cane – ginger drink. It was fun to see how it was made with the special machine.
re: el_lobo_solo
What's on those bright red skewers in the last picture? Enjoyed this report too!
re: ck1234
They're octopus. Something I'm not a fan of but looks good in the photos.
Stone Town—236 Hurumzi roof top
This place required reservations and a $25 deposit for the meal (or you could pay $40 for more seafood entree options). On weekends there is live music. The climb to the roof top meant I could snoop around the traditional furnishings on each floor. I arrived early to catch the sunset and a drink. Had a good South African red, which was a welcome change from beer. Easily one of the most beautiful places I've eaten in with the panoramic views of Stone Town, and it was amazing to hear the evening calls to prayer from mosques around the city. I chose the Swahili seating—nice plush pillows on carved-wood tables that would later feel cramped when the other diners came. Table seating is available too.
There were supposed to be 6 courses but the last, tea /coffee, was never offered. I liked the opening bar snacks and wish I remembered the name for the balls that looked like pakoras. The minestrone soup was only ok. It felt nice to have veggies with the fatoush salad. The red snapper was also only ok, a wedge of lemon would've helped. There were other options for the entree, including beef, chicken, and vegetarian. I really liked the simplicity of the dessert, fruit cocktail that was heavy on the passion fruit and watermelon.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Im pretty unsure about this one now.
Does Obito beat Naruto or does is it the other way around?
I would say more but I gotta go to work at a certain time.
Please expalin.
Obito imo, he can only be harmed with Kakashi there, what if Obito had both his eyes?

Naruto has shown to be able to make ne kyuubi clone so far. If Obito sucks up Naruto or a clone wouldnt Obito have to careful when he slips threw moves from now on? The other Naruto could strike him in cube world. How does Obito kill the clone? Thats what I dont know.
Obito, a smarter fighter then Naruto and with Kamui he's OP plus Mokuton.
obito cannot be harmed without kaumi
interesting thread, looking forward for more opinions
i would say obito, not sure why thought
obito by far. He's fighting kakashi, gai, hachibi, and kurama......at the same time
Naruto is stronger but obito would beat him

if he has both eyes i dont think he will use kamui.
now but ... obito is not the smartest shinobi
With Plot and Naruto's current techniques - Naruto can beat him

Obito is smart but Kamui is the only way he can stop Naruto. If Naruto creates multiple clones and they get warped, Obito would need to destroy them or else they could do damage. Naruto also has no real way to stop Obito since he'll just slip through.

By plot you mean Kakashi's kamui right? Because so far that is the only reason Obito has been hurt at all.
Without Kakashi, Naruto can't do anything against Obito.
Obito > Naruto
Obito smashes in a 1v1
obito wins in a 1v1 against naruto
i think that naruto is stronger, we dont know what will happen to naruto when obito send him to another dimension, if he send him to another dimension does that mean that naruto is dead no so maybe naruto can beat him in that dimension we don't know that yet...
To be honest I'd say overall Naruto is...Obito has one technique that is just ridiculously OP...With Naruto's FTG speeds it is possible he pulls another Minato on the Uchiha....But with the mini bijudama=game over O.o
Obito, Naruto has only been able to get a hit on him because of Kakashi.

Obito actually has an extremely diverse skill set proof: http://www.narutobase.net/forums/sho...d.php?t=271075
If Naruto known how Rin Looked
Naruto would win easily. lmao
Naruto transforming into a naked busty Rin. rofl
Obito would be distracted and all Naruto needs to do is finish him off with Rasenshuriken since Obito can regenerate like Piccolo.
But since he doesn't.
Obito trumps Naruto.
Unless Kishi gives Naruto a dose of iq points in able to plan out something strategic to take down Obito.
Let me just step right in and clean up this :flaw: COWABUNGA F**K!!! :flaw:
Now let's see what we've got here, shall we?

Please expalin.
This one's pretty simple. Obito would win this one. *Don's flame-retardant cloak*
Now that that's out in the open. . . LETS GET TO THE PROOF!
As we know, Naruto has a very wide array of jutsu and transformative abilities in his arsenal. Most revolve around using the rasengan and Nine-Tails Chakra. His destructive capabilities are pretty damn colossal as his Tailed Beast Bomb has shown to be capable of blowing away a large part of a forest.
Now the main moves in Obito's arsenal are Kamui, basic 3 tomoe sharingan, high level fire style ninjutsu, Wood style ninjutsu, and summoning the Gedou Mazou Statue through the use of the Rinnegan (for the sake of this fight, I am giving Obito the Mazou statue prior to the 10 tails' revival, as it was during its brief, yet EPIC fight with my man Chiji and his pops, Choza. And since he tecnicallyneeded Kabuto to use the 6 paths of pain, they are excluded from the equasion).
Knowing Obito, and how he seems to only fight himself as a last resort (no proof needed here. I mean he only threw a punch when he was completely cornered). So he will most likely start by summoning the Mazou Statue to attack Naruto. Naruto in his base form and Sage mode are no match for the Mazou, nor can they hit Obito while using Kamui. Naruto will most likely waste some chakra using pointless rasengans and a ton of shadow clones to no prevail. Next up. . . SAGE MODE!!! I'm going to go out on a limb and say Nasuto gets a brain and summons Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro to assist him in fighting the Mazou Statue.
While the 3 boss toads deal with the Mazou Statue, Naruto will combat Obito, who will probably try to hold him off with Dragon fire jutsu and various ninja tools sent from Kamuiverse (Kamui).
Dragon fire jutsu + Kamui
Needless to say, Sage mode isn't going to last very long against Obito. Not to mention unlike the current seemingly infinite Tailed beast mode (Bijuu mode), Sage mode has a limit and needs prep time. Since the boss toads are gone and this is a 1vs1 fight, Naruto ain't gettin' another shot at Sage mode :P. And with the feats seen by the Mazou Statue, the boss toads arn't winning.
:scorps: TIME TO BREAK OUT KURAMA!!!!! :scorps:
It's a bit hard to put this together exactly, but it seemed to take the combined efforts of Killer be (full host transformation), Kakashi, Guy, AND Naruto in his initial 9 tails chakra mode to take on the Mazou statue. It'll be quite taxing on Naruto's chakra reservs taking on the Mazou alone, but he will pull out a win in the end, but will most likely either drain himself to near empty, or use his Tailed Beast Mode, which will put a QUICK end to the Mazou.
Now this is where it gets tricky. Obito's attacks, both fire and wood based will be tanked, and his only REAL offensive moves would be using the Chakra chains and giant ninja tools sent from Kamuiverse. Naruto has been seen to do a good job dodging and countering this, but he isn't invincable. On the other hand, Obito can predict nearly all of Naruto's moves using his sharingan and use Kamui for the large scale attacks that he can't dodge.
This is where the fight will get kinda boring. . . Naruto, even with all of his power, can't touch casper the ghost, and will be using big move after big move like he usually does, draining all his stamina and wasting precious secconds of his 5 minute (or so it's supposed to be) OP transformation. Once Full Tailed beast mode runs out, it's Naruto's a$$! Sage mode takes too long to prep, Initial Nine tails chakra mode is somewhat useless as he will only be farther draining his stamina against casper the ghost, and Obito would very easily rape the dogg sh*t out of base Naruto. And god forbid he try to re-summon the Mazou statue after a few seconds of rest!
As you can see here, Obito completely PWNED Naruto Nine tailed clone with one swing of his Gunbai.
And with these pages you can see that Obito can keep up and fight on par with Might Guy, the TAIJUTSU KING and the NOBLE BLUE BEAST OF THE VILLIAGE HIDDEN IN THE LEAVES!!! Naruto has no hope of matching his taijutsu skills, and any rasengan or mini tailed beast bomb trown at him will either dodged or Kamuified.
Not even in Tailed beast mode can Naruto hit Obito.
In the end, it will take Naruto using Bijuu mode to combat Obito (or mainly the Mazou Statue). Once the Mazou Statue is out of the picture, it basically becomes a pissing contest of who has more stamina, and it seems to me that Obito wins in that category. Unless Naruto can either Speed blitz him while he's trying to absorb something (if done while releasing, he'll just run into an attack at point blank), He's not hitting Obito. And once Bijuu mode is exhausted and Kurama's chakra is cut off, Naruto is :flaw:COWABUNGA F**KED TO HELL!!!!!:flaw:
This is my opinion on why Obito beats Naruto. Feel free to debate me on this if you wish. And I appologise for the length.

What are you taking about?!!!!? It was Naruto who saved Kakashi and Gui, It was Naruto who shattered Obito's Mask and it was Madara who had to come to Obito's rescue otherwise it be over.
Obito is stronger than Naruto as of now.

Actually my friend, it was naruto's shadow clone whom Kakashi sent to the Kamuiverse to meet Obito when he went casper the ghost to dodge naruto's Tailed Beast Bomb. If Kakashi wasn't there, Naruto wouldn't stand a chance against Obito. My previous post should explain that well enough. And I'm open for a debate if you think you can take me!

Everyone is sick of the cold weather by now, right? Are you bored of your winter wardrobe like us and in desperate need of some fash-spiration? Then look no further than the off-duty model street style from New York Fashion Week, as NY has been covered in rain, snow and ice this week. Not so great for trying out Spring's hottest trends and posing in stilettos.
So what have the gals been wearing to tackle the extreme weather? As NY is drawing to a close it's the perfect time to assess the model street style. The girls have been keeping cosy in parkas, fur and beanies when dashing between the shows, but they added a touch of excitement to their outfits with bright, electric colours.
We love the block red trousers, powder blue jeans and deep red fur we spied on the NY streets. But if you're not brave enough to wear look-at-me block colour just yet, then copy the models that went for stand out accessories. We love the yellow socks paired with a black maxi, the lime green oversized bag and pillar-box red beanie we spied on our way in and out of the shows. Top marks go to Hanne Gaby Odiele who brightened up a classic parka with a hot pink collar. And of course when in doubt, just add a flash of bright lippie.
Speaking of New York Fashion Week inspiration why not check out our exclusive fashion week photo diary by Atlanta de Cadenet-Taylor? Or see how the model style matches up to those perched on the Front Row.
But the question is how will the girls shake up their style for London? Let's hope they are doing some intense outfit planning on their plane journey over ce soir.

Hi southernx,
Thanks for contacting us today. We would be happy to help you find a new upgrade for your system. What is the processor speed of your iMac? Thanks for this information.
Best regards,
Hi nikonitis,
Thank you for contacting us today. Installing the SSD is also fairly straightforward. You can either clone your current data to the SSD or do a fresh install. You will need to find a special bracket to ensure that the SSD fits into your Mac properly.
There is a big advantage to upgrading to an SSD, because you will have no moving parts and you will notice a huge speed increase. The extra speed should future proof your system a bit.
Please let me know if you have any other specific questions about this upgrade.
I recently purchased from Crucial an MX100 512gb SSD for my desktop computer primarily to give me more C-drive space (Asus P7P55D PRO running Windows7 on a 160gb Intel X25-M SSD). Using the Acronis cloning tool I successfully cloned the new SSD, altered registry and BIOS settings to enable AHCI, and installed the SSD. It appears to work perfectly – giving me the extra disk space I need and providing a welcome performance boost. I am delighted.
Encouraged by this relatively painless process, I decided to try to upgrade my ancient laptop – which is a Dell Inspiron 640m, running XP and without AHCI support. It needs more disk space having a mere 50gb but most of all it needs a major performance boost – particularly at boot time when it takes some seven minutes to boot to a usable desktop screen. I purchased an MX100 256gb SSD for this purpose (which Crucial's compatibility tool says should work), cloned my existing HDD to it using Acronis and installed the SSD in the laptop. However, Windows wouldn't load – giving me a blue screen error (0000007b) message which a google search tells me may have something to do with missing drivers. In my subsequent futile and random efforts to try to sort this out I think I have "bricked" the SSD!
I would like to start again with a new 256gb SSD for my ancient laptop which I would again purchase from Crucial but before ordering that would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to avoid or otherwise deal with the blue screen error. Are additional drivers required and if so how should I obtain and install them? (Please note that I do not wish to upgrade the laptop to Windows7 or 8 - and am aware that I will not have the benefit of TRIM if I can succeed with the installation of an SSD into the laptop.)
Any thoughts or pointers would be hugely welcome.
Regards to all
I bought 2 x MX100 256GB SSD drives.
Both when plugged in fail the SMART 180 attribute on starting the computer.
I have tried them both in 2 different PC's (HP XW4300 and HP Z200), and the error is the same on both computers and on both drives.
I have tried emailing for support with no luck..
Has anyone seen this type of failure before, and do I need to get the drives replaced?
Any assistance or thoughts appreciated.
I had Samsung drives previously and never had any issues at all.
I too am considering this upgrade to SSD. This may seem trivial but try control panel, programs and features, windows features and untick internet explorer then reboot. Upon reboot go and retick the box to reinstall that feature. This has worked for me in the past when ie stopped functioning. Good Luck. Please let us know the results.

With his recent DUI arrest and a fractured neck suffered during practice, it appears that Tito Ortiz could be done with Bellator. If that is the case, then it looks like the former UFC champion could be done with TNA as well, as Dixie Carter and her promotion would no longer be contractually obligated to utilize him.
January 23, 2014
Tito Ortiz, who tried to restart his MMA career with Bellator and has made appearances for TNA on Impact Wrestling, was arrested this morning in Los Angeles after crashing his vehicle on the freeway. Police are investigating a possible DUI offense.
January 6, 2014
With him being unable to do MMA fights because of injuries, the belief is that TNA is not interested in using Tito Ortiz for the time being.
November 8, 2013
In order to generate publicity, Bully Ray has been making noise about wanting to fight Rampage Jackson in an MMA setting.

It was the musicologist and composer Donald Tovey who first suggested that the Adagio was Haydn's requiem for his friend Mozart, who had died the previous December. Certainly the echoes of the 'Jupiter' Symphony's Andante are hard to miss in this sublime movement, in full sonata form. In the recapitulation, the hymn-like main theme (which Haydn seems to have modelled on 'God save the King') is poignantly intensified, first with a counterpoint for solo cello, then in woodwind imitation, and finally in an aching new chromatic harmonization. Even the minuet, with its suavely melodious trio, is less flamboyant than those in Nos 93, 94 and 96. There is a delicious moment in the second part when the music dips insouciantly from F major to A flat for a demure flute solo. Haydn the humorist is immediately to the fore in the irrepressible 6/8 finale. The cheeky second theme belongs to the world of Rossini's Figaro (the Italian was a great admirer of Haydn's symphonies); and the comedy continues in the development, with its violin solos for Salomon in wildly contrasting keys, and the huge coda. Near the end, after what sounds like a pause for a cadenza, Haydn slows down the main theme with mock solemnity, and then decorates it with a 'cembalo [i.e. fortepiano] solo' for himself—an effect that doubtless brought the house down in 1792.

THE WAR IN SPAIN A WEEKLY SUMMARY EDITED BY CHARLES DUFF UNITED EDITORIAL LTD. No. 4 LONDON, 12th FEBRUARY, 1938 PRICE 1d. THE BOMBERS AND THE PIRATES IT is curious how the practice of war degenerates steadily with the march of science and the progress of civilization. Those of us who were soldiers in the World War thought that we had experienced the worst of which human nature is capable. But, with the advent of Fascism, the ethics of fighting have gone into another scale of values altogether — as this last month of the war in Spain has shown. Defeated at Teruel, distracted from an offensive planned over some months and, not knowing where to expect attack from an enemy that is growing stronger in morale and material, the rebel general Franco has fallen back upon what can be regarded only as the tactics of desperation. His attempted "Blockade" of the coast of Government Spain was proving so futile that Lloyd's lowered their War Risks Insurance rates by about one-half. His mixed assortment of Condottiere, Moors, Foreign Legionaries and what not, were fought to a standstill or kept under severe pressure. In one arm he had some superiority — aviation. Hence, one course was left: to use his aviation against the civil population in the Government area, in the hope that he might succeed in demoralising it and cause it to bring pressure upon the Government to surrender. There is nothing quite new about this, for Mr. George Bernard Shaw, commenting upon the Washington Conference of 1921, wrote in the Nation of November 26th of that year, under the title THE LIMITATION OF CHRIST, as follows:— "The next war, then, will not be an effort to defeat the opposing army, and thereby compel the defenceless civilians behind it to accept whatever terms may be imposed on them. It will be an effort to compel the civilian population to choose between direct destruction and the same acceptance, even though its army may be intact, well supplied, and covered with military glory." Our italics. The words of Shaw apply to the present position of Franco, with just this difference —that he has tried to defeat the Government army and failed, and is now trying to wear down the loyalist civil population. Those acquainted with the history of Spain, the powers of resistance of her people and that strange, almost mystical stoicism which pervades their character, could answer off-hand that such tactics must inevitably fail. But we have actual evidence to take the place of all such conjectures. Every newspaper correspondent in loyalist territory has told more or less the same story in regard to the dreadful bombardments of helpless civilians during this last month or so. Mr. Andrew Rice, Special Correspondent of the Yorkshire Post, wrote on January 31st: "One finds among the civilian population a curiously fatalistic attitude towards air-raids. Heavy bombs are liable to go straight through a house and, owing to a delay-action fuse, burst in the basement. There is, then, no assured safety wherever one may take shelter. Even the elaborate 'refugios' are not invariably immune from direct impact. So, in an hotel, I have had the curious experience of hearing the syrens screaming outside, and simultaneously watching the waiters in the dining-room going deftly about their business, while not a diner stirred from his seat. Only a bomb in their midst would have started a panic . . ." and he comments: " What useful purpose, then, do the raids serve ? Twenty civilians are killed, fifty are maimed, a thousand are terrified for a few moments—but the great bulk of the population remains unmoved. So what's the point ? " Franco's air raids have had one effect, at least, apart from stiffening the resistance of the loyalists. They are leaving his supporters abroad so ashamed of his stupidity and brutality that even the most impudent among them are finding it difficult to say much in his favour. Those air raids are having an effect directly the opposite of what the rebels expected of them. It is impossible to justify them on any count whatsoever — legal, moral or military. They have, perhaps, one favourable aspect, and it is that they have stirred the French Prime Minister and our own Foreign Secretary into an attempt to persuade both sides in the Spanish struggle to put an end altogether to the massacres of old men, women and children behind the line. The Spanish Government had already appealed to the rebels for a mutual cessation of the bombing of non-military objectives— but without success. Then the Ministry of Defence at Barcelona, on its own initiative on February 3rd, decided to abstain from all air raids of a general character and stopped the elaborate preparations that were being made to bomb Franco territory. One cannot but admire the dignity and self-restraint of such a decision in a moment of extreme provocation. Furthermore, it is a gesture which shows the Government's strength and confidence —just as Franco's refusal shows his weakness and desperation. The other interesting feature of recent days is the return of the submarine pirates to the Mediterranean. The most interesting aspects of this piracy are the following unchallengeable facts: (1) Not one submarine remained in the possession of the Spanish rebels and (2) the Italian Government has given to the rebels recently four destroyers, and "assigned" two submarines to the rebel naval base at Soller in Majorca. These two submarines are now flying rebel flags ! Could any act of intervention be more blatant than this ? One of the first activities to be recorded after the transfer of these naval Italian units to the rebels was the torpedoing on February 1st in broad daylight of the British merchantman Endymion, while flying both the British and the Non-Intervention flags and with a neutral (Swedish) Non-Intervention officer on board. On February 4th, an even greater outrage was perpetrated, when the British ship Alcira, also flying our flag and that of the Non-Intervention Control, was bombed by two Italian sea-planes from the base which the Italians have established for the rebels at Palma, Majorca. In the first, 10 out of the crew of 14 lost their lives; in the second, the whole British crew were rescued by a Government sloop and a fishing boat and brought to Barcelona. "Without warning," one of the rescued men of the Alcira reported, "two aeroplanes approached, and immediately dropped three bombs from a height of only 100 feet, all of which hit the ship. Two sailors were burnt by explosions, and four others jumped into the sea to be picked up by lifeboats. The ship sank in five minutes." Twenty-one British ships were bombed or attacked up to October 21st, 1937, two others were sunk and one bombed and machine-gunned. Then came the Nyon Control, after which the pirates vanished. But, apparently, the French and British navies relaxed their vigilance— and back we were again where we started. Other ships have suffered— the Dutch vessel Hannah, torpedoed on January 11th, and the British ship Lake of Geneva, attacked by a submarine. The French response to these activities was immediate. Instructions were issued to the French Navy to sink all submerged submarines west of Bec l'Aigle (near Marseilles). How did Italy react to this and Britain's decision to increase vigilance ? By saying that the Endymion incident was a fake ! It will be remembered that, when the German and Italian bombers wiped out Guernica, the first reaction of Salamanca was to declare that no rebel planes had gone into the air that day !

As you level, the conversion ratio (rating -> defense skill) goes down hard. Basically, at 80 you need 700-ish rating for the 140 extra defense you need, where at 70 it was only what, 350-ish?
At level 70, I had 496 defense
At level 71, I had 492 defense
At level 72, I had 484 defense
and, at level 73 I have 478 defense.
I know this is surely a noob question but, where is my defense? Shouldn't it go up as I level?? If I'm supposed to have a 540 defense at 80, how am I supposed to achieve that when my base defense seems to be dwindling??? My base defense says it's going up but looking at my character stats, I'm going down and I don't understand why. I'm sure it's a stupidly simple explanation but none of the other tanks in my guild can understand this either.

you will need to socket, gem and chant your level 70 tank gear with defence till you replace it. I got the cap with 1 day of heroics and a new set of gems for my old sunwell stuff.
What's happening is that at level 70, you use the following rating system:
2.365 Defense Rating = 1 Defense Skill
...at level 80 (in order to make us upgrade our gear) that ratio is much more aggressive at:
4.918 Defense Rating = 1 Defense Skill
The result is that it's somewhere in the neighbourhood of 689 Defense Rating required to hit 540 Defense. This is not going to be trivial like hitting 490 Defense was at level 70. We don't have Anticipation giving us 20 Defense Skill. That being said, there's a lot of high defense rating blues out there that'll make that 540 Defense number not impossible to reach.
As to leveling, don't sweat it. It's not the end of the world to not be going up each level. You shouldn't expect to be at 540 Defense exactly when you reach 80, but you should make it your first goal, as a tank, to hit 540 Defense as soon as possible.
With every gem in my gear being 16 defense, I'm still not capped.
642 rating, this is as close as I can get. Gonna get titanweave on my cloak when I get a new one. A couple other changes I need to make as well like the meta gem, just haven't had time.
The World of Warcraft Armory
It doesn't help that this is all grinding gear. I didn't change upon much defensive gear I wanted to keep.
Until you hit 80 and are looking to raid and run ehroics, you don't need to worry about being crit immune.
Seal of the Pantheon - Item - World of Warcraft
And there is a defense enchant for cloaks as well you could put on (and maybe one for bracers)
Easy-ish stuff to get with many defenses:
Silver-Plated Battlechest - Item - World of Warcraft - Utgarde Pinnacle quest reward
Tempered Saronite Helm - Item - World of Warcraft - your friendly blacksmith

The 2013 U.S. Figure Skating Championships got underway Sunday at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha.
The competition will help determine who will represent the United States at the Olympics next year. The event will culminate next Saturday, but meanwhile, fans can see some of the best figure skaters in the world compete every day this week.
"This was a gift from my soon to be son-in-law, a day for us to spent together," said Jean Fielder of Omaha.
"I think it's great, it's fun, lots of things to look at and watch," said Mary Anderson of Hastings.
"It's really exciting, it's fun to see this event come to town," said Sadie Fielder of Omaha. "We are longtime skating fans. We've come to a lot of events in the past."
This is the first time Omaha has hosted the competition since 1967 when Peggy Fleming won the fourth of her five U.S. titles. Last year's U.S. championships were held in San Jose.

The Washington Huskies are set to tip off their 2014-2015 college basketball season. Grab the best seats in the house at the Alaska Airlines Arena at HecEdmundson Pavilion, or follow your Huskies on the road right here at Gold Coast Tickets!
Lorenzo Romar has been the coach of the Washington Huskies for twelve years now. The 2013-14 season was not one of his most successful seasons. The Huskies finished with a record of 17 and 15 and missed the NCAA tournament. The future is promising though. Freshmen, Nigel Williams-Goss averaged 13 points 4 rebounds and 4 assists in his first year in Seattle. Junior Andrew Andrews will look to improve on his 13 points a game he averaged last season.

... Not sure this image helps the marketing much. With the 'mechanic on duty' sign, and one hand on head the other on hip, she look s like she broken down, \i do hope not!!!
What a mess.... VW must be so embarrassed about the rear of this car, that they have made sure that all photo shots are shown without a view of the roof when it's down, the one with the model standing beside it at the rear, is a dead give away, Why not construct something similar to the Porsche 911 frabric roof(in the way it folds completely away)... This attempt is hideous, they obviously decided to take the cheaper option.
The side profile reminds me of one of those nasty PT Cruiser things from a few years back. The previous Beetle convertible looked much better.
i think is anice car a wee bit over priced
It is interesting that almost every photo has been angled to hide the folded roof. The photo with models have them standing right in front of it. Even the photo down the right flank has been taken from floor level so that the hump is hidden behind the door mirror.

Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011
The problem in brief
Democracy is facing significant challenges
Democracy is the core element of today's society. It forms the basis for social harmony and self-determination and places actual human needs at center stage. Thus strengthening and preserving democracy is one of the most important issues of our time.
Over the past decades, democratic systems have continuously evolved and adapted to new conditions. The following are the most pressing challenges faced by today's democracies:
- Insufficient problem-solving capacities
Society is becoming more diverse and complex, while the pace of life is accelerating. This is making it harder to react to changes appropriately and in a timely manner, to implement effective reforms and to inform the public about current issues.
- New expectations for political participation
Citizens feel increasingly alienated from the political process due to the fact that traditional forms of political participation are insufficiently relevant to actual needs. Thus there is a growing preference for more direct forms of participation that address specific issues.
- Social inequality and exclusion
Migration and the growing gap between rich and poor mean that fewer citizens are able to participate in political decision-making processes and represent their own interests.
The 2011 Reinhard Mohn Prize is dedicated to examining these challenges and generating answers to the following questions:
- How can increased participation on the part of the public improve the chances of developing usable solutions and increase the robustness of political processes?
- What might new forms of political participation look like that account for changing desires for getting involved and that help people feel heard?
- What is needed in order to integrate disadvantaged, underrepresented groups into political processes?
The €150,000 prize will be awarded to a governmental institution which, on its own or in collaboration with a non-governmental actor, has carried out successful activities designed to achieve the following: vitalizing democracy, integrating underrepresented groups into the political process, and establishing new democratic approaches to problem-solving by strengthening political participation. The activities must be adaptable to the German context, as the Bertelsmann Stiftung will be drawing on these examples of international best practice as inspiration for possible future projects in Germany.

I've always been a little bothered by the term smart TV. Seriously, they're not that smart. Up until now, what we've been calling smart TVs are basically TVs with internet connections that offer some variation of content apps. So instead of a set-top-box that brings you Pandora, Netflix and YouTube, the features are built into the TV.
I like that—saves me the trouble of hooking up another box and losing another remote, but it's not smart. The TVs aren't doing anything special, anything different. They're not changing how I interact with them. They're not communicating with other devices. They're not changing anything about the way I experience TV other than offering me more things to watch or listen to.
Until now.
At this month's CES we saw a variety of new approaches to the smart TV category, but in my opinion, these are still baby steps. Smart TVs are still, mostly, just TVs with connections to Netflix. Sure, some may add a social networking tweak, and another may let you wave your hands to turn up the volume, but they're not advancing us beyond the basic experience of sitting in a chair and letting entertainment happen in front of us.
I expect this to change, but it's going to happen slowly, the same way that cell phones evolved slowly into PDAs and then smart phones. How many years passed between the first Motorola Razr and the iPhone app store (I'd argue that the iPhone didn't become a smart phone until the app store emerged about a year after the first iPhone launched.)?
Still, this year brings some significant advances to the category. Check out the slide show for the top tends in smart TV development.

OXON HILL, Md. - In a story Nov. 8, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Constellation Energy is the parent company of Baltimore Gas and Electric. The story should have specified that Constellation and BGE are affiliated businesses both owned by Exelon Corp.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Constellation donates $1M to children's museum
Constellation Energy donates $1M to National Children's Museum being built near DC
OXON HILL, Md. (AP) _ Constellation Energy is donating $1 million in cash and services to support the National Children's Museum being developed at National Harbor just south of Washington.
The museum announced Thursday that the company, an affiliate of Baltimore Gas and Electric, will help fund an outdoor experience that will demonstrate renewable energy with solar and wind power.
Half of the company's $1 million pledge will be given through in-kind equipment or services. The museum is designating Constellation as its energy sponsor.
Museum President and CEO Willard Whitson says the museum will be able to set strong environmental standards.
The new museum will open Dec. 14. Part of the museum will have a "Sesame Street" theme for children ages 3 and under. Admission will cost $10 per person.

Edelbrock Performer IAS monotube shocks use a patented inertia-activated valve that instantly adjusts to driving conditions. It's simple enough: On smooth terrain, the valve closes to give you a firm ride, excellent cornering, and reduced body sway. Under rough conditions, the valve opens to make the shocks softer and more responsive. So, your wheels follow the contour of the driving surface for a smoother off-road ride. These shocks use polyurethane bushings for added responsiveness and their high-pressure, monotube design eliminates oil foaming and dissipates heat more effectively. Other features include nitro-steel piston rods, heavy-duty welds, and an attractive red powdercoated finish.

Storm Unleashed phase is at 20% not 40. He then moves to the other side of the hall at 10%, due to the short burn lust is not ideal for this time, but instead early in the encounter to keep stacks down.
Raid Compassion:
For this encounter you will need:
Tanks [2]
Healers [3]
So this fight is broken down into 2 phases these are the spells your raid will have to handle in phase one:
Tempest Slash - Creates a tornado that will inflect 130,000 damage and knock back anyone in its path
Unseen Strike - Targets a random raider and disappear for 5 sec, He will then reappear and inflect 5,400,000 damage that will be split with all that is hit
Wind Step - Targets a random raider and inflect 153,000 damage over 3 sec and hit anyone within his target of 8 yards.
Intensify - this is a stacking buff on the boss that will increase his damage and haste by 5% every 60 sec.
Overwhelming Assault - A stacking debuff on the tanks that will increase damage taken by 100% for 45 sec also initial hit will apply a 150% damage increase to the boss on his strike.
This encounter will have 4 hall ways that you're able to move into, this will allow you to avoid the tornado that are spawned around the area you are tanking the boss in
Phase One (100% to 20%)
When you first start this encounter you will want to have the tank hold the boss where he stands, you will have your raid stay spread 9 yards a part. You do this so Wind Step wont infect more then 1 person. The Tanks will want to do a taunt swap after the main tank gains 1 stack of Overwhelming Assault. after this point taunt as it drops off, the tanks will most likely have 2 stacks after the first set of taunts.
Blue Dot = Tanks, Lime Dots = Melee DPS, Yellow Dots = Healers, Orange Dots = Range DPS
Keeping your raid spread out 9 yards apart will allow you to handle his Wind Step
The boss will be casting Tempest strikes and causing Tornado that will spawn on the map have your raid stay spread and avoid getting hit by these.
Each time Tempest Strike is cast he will spawn a Tornado near his target and will not despawn till he hits phase 2
Once the boss cast Unseen strike you will have 5 sec to stack on the person with the Red arrow on the top of their head. The raid will then share the damage of this strike (we used a raid cool down each time we all stack up to take the unseen strike. Also note that the unseen strike will do a knock back. after the 3rd unseen strike we moved the boss and raid clock wise to the hall on the right. the area that u were in will most liky be filled with tornado. Rinse and repeat, and move to a different hall way after 3 strikes.
Once Unseen Strike has been cast the boss will disappear for 5 sec, his target will have a Red arrow on top of his head, have your raid stack up in-front of the boss to share the damage of the strike
Once you are almost 20% its best to make sure no other unseen strikes are coming up, and before you push 20% to phase make sure everyone is topped off.
Phase Two (19% to Win)
Storm Unleashed - a raid debuff that will Inflect 20,000 Damage per sec.
Once you reach 20% the boss will then suck everyone to the center of the room, and move you to one end of the hall, he will be casting tornado down the opposite side of the hall. You will have the whole raid move side to side avoid tornado to get to the boss and burn him. Save lust for when you have the whole raid burning him. We used raid cool downs as people travel through the wind tunnel to the other boss. Also note anyone that gets hit by the tornado will be sent back about 15 yards of where they are hit. He will then Move to the other side of the room and you must have your whole raid once again travel through the wind tunnel again and burn him down to win.
Make sure to top your raid off to full before moving through the wind tunnel
Over all this fight is quite simple, the hard part will be having your raid not get hit by tornado in the final phase. Make sure everyone is topped off before they take they journey down the wind tunnel.
I will be doing a video guide of this encounter soon!

I guess I'm confused as to what the number this macro spits out is supposed to mean. When I ran this macro without any buffs, it gives me 76.82. This how much higher my parry rating needs to be over dodge?
This seems really low - the Warcraft forum thread you linked says warriors need roughly 300 parry rating over dodge?

Lachrymae is a series of variations on the first phrase of Dowland's song 'If my complaints could passions move'. Following a Lento introduction in which the song is quoted in the bass of the piano part, a sequence of contrasting 'reflections' ensues. In the sixth, Appassionato, Britten quotes from another Dowland song, 'Flow my tears'. The last section returns by means of a slow crescendo to Dowland's original melody and harmony, when it is heard complete for the first time. Britten's exploration of the Dowland material is extremely thorough, and it generates not only the principal melodic material but the harmonic vocabulary as well. Such is its organic resourcefulness that the techniques used in Lachrymae are reminiscent of the exhaustive musical derivations to be found in the Church Parables of the subsequent decade.
