Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Supporters of immigration reform rallied across the nation on May Day in lively gatherings that were marred by a burst of violence in Seattle, where police fired pepper spray at rock-throwing protesters in clashes that left 17 people arrested.
Thousands joined May Day rallies in dozens of cities from Concord, N.H., to Bozeman, Mont., many of them offering support for legislation under consideration by Congress that would overhaul immigration laws and bring many of the estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally out of the shadows.
In Salem, Ore., Gov. John Kitzhaber was cheered by about 2,000 people on the Capitol steps as he signed a bill to allow people living in Oregon without proof of legal status to obtain drivers licenses.
Hours after a peaceful march concluded in Seattle, several dozen protesters, some covering their faces with bandanas, began pelting police with rocks and bottles. Officers responded with pepper spray and "flash bang" grenades -- releasing smoke, a flashing light, and a loud noise -- to disburse the crowd.
Seventeen people were arrested and eight officers suffered minor scrapes and bruises, police said.
As the protesters moved through downtown Seattle, they threw street barriers, trash cans and newspaper bins on the streets in an attempt to block advancing police officers. Windows of local businesses were broken and vehicles with people in them were banged around.
The spurt of violence was reminiscent of the gathering a year ago when some protesters broke windows and set fires.
"We're a bigger and better city than this. I look at this and I am disappointed that this is the picture the world sees of us," Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said.
In Vermont, more than 1,000 people assembled on the Montpelier Statehouse lawn. And in New York, thousands of demonstrators marched in downtown Manhattan waving banners and banging on drums in a scene reminiscent of Occupy Wall Street's heyday.
The size of the May Day crowds paled in comparison to the massive demonstrations of 2006 and 2007, during the last serious attempt to introduce major changes to the U.S. immigration system. Despite the large turnouts six years ago, many advocates of looser immigration laws felt they were outmaneuvered by opponents who flooded congressional offices with phone calls and faxes at the behest of conservative talk-radio hosts.
Now, immigrant advocacy groups are focusing heavily on contacting members of Congress, using social media and other technology to target specific lawmakers. Reform Immigration for America, a network of groups, claims more than 1.2 million subscribers, including recipients of text messages and Facebook followers.
Many of Wednesday's rallies featured speakers with a personal stake in the debate. Naykary Silva, a 26-year-old Mexican woman in the country illegally, joined about 200 people who marched in Denver's spring snow, hoping for legislation that would ensure medical care for her 3-year-old autistic son.
"If you want to do something, you do it no matter what," Silva said. "There's still more work to do."
Police in New York restrained several demonstrators, but the marches were peaceful.
Gabriel Villalobos, a Spanish-language talk radio host in Phoenix, said many of his callers believe it is the wrong time for marches, fearful that that any unrest could sour public opinion. Those callers advocate instead for a low-key approach of calling members of Congress.
"The mood is much calmer," said Villalobos, who thinks the marches are still an important show of political force.
In Los Angeles, a band playing salsa classics from the back of a truck led a march up Broadway. Demonstrators waved American flags and signs with messages such as "Stop deportations."
"I've held the same job for six years, but I don't have papers," said Mario Vasquez, a supermarket butcher who brought his two Chihuahuas. "Immigration reform would help me and my family and for everybody here."
In downtown Chicago, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin told thousands of demonstrators that America had a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to change immigration laws.
"We need to seize that opportunity," said the Illinois Democrat, who is part of a bipartisan group of eight senators who introduced the legislation last month.
May Day rallies began in the United States in 2000 during a labor dispute with a restaurant in Los Angeles that drew several hundred demonstrators, said Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. Crowds grew each year until the House of Representatives passed a tough bill against illegal immigration, sparking a wave of enormous, angry protests from coast to coast in 2006.

Howells: Concertos & Dances
Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Archive ServiceCDH55205
No 1: Giocoso molto
No 2: Quasi lento, quieto
No 3: Molto allegro
The second dance (Quasi lento, quieto) has one of the most beguiling tunes of the period. To some extent it is the change in his later music away from writing a tune to creating long-breathed, melismatic phrases, which creates the aural problem for the unsophisticated listener who wants the 'anchorage' which a regular-metre melody gives. Here, though, there is no problem. Why this dance alone did not become a classic 'pop' of the period is difficult to understand, though it is probably bound up with Howells's reticence and his impatience, as a student, to be getting on with the next project.
The last dance (Molto allegro) is, by contrast, short and furious, providing an exquisite foil to the others. Here is Howells, already, aged only twenty-three, a consummately skilled orchestrator, a highly gifted creator of atmosphere (one of the most important features of his mature style) and having a considerable skill with both form and melody.

Post subject: FOUR QUESTIONS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
Every now and then, any business needs to take a look at how it does business. Anybody who wants to can answer these four questions. If you have a desire for privacy, then email me their answers to these four questions (firstname.lastname@example.com) and please do CC our marketing director Vanessa Clark (firstname.lastname@example.com). So far as that goes, feel free to include our business manager, Leanna Cole (firstname.lastname@example.com) and my partner Steve Petrick (firstname.lastname@example.com).
1. What are we NOT doing that we SHOULD be doing?
2. What ARE we doing that we should do DIFFERENTLY?
3. What ARE we doing that we should NO be doing?
4. What new concept or idea should ADB investigate to improve its operations?
I won't promise to reply to all who Email, and (because so few know how the business operates) I suspect that most of the answers will be things we can't change or can't afford, but don't let that stop you. I'd rather be given 100 suggestions that I cannot implement than not given one really great idea.
(Members of the US Marine Corps will note that I ripped off their survey. Hey, steal from the best.)

Hi Steve
one idea I have is to release a federation commander Annual rules book with all the rules in the fedration commander system in one book it is a pain to go through alot of communiques and annexes.you can look at Star Fleet Battles master book series for inspiration.plus you could squize in bestpapers of the year in there if space allows
another thing i suggest is to get more of the original playtesters to play on federation commander online.the organzed league is a good idea but the online games are a great "hook" also.
One thing you should worry about is the adding on of rules. not to much
thank you
Why is federation so bad in game but so good in film?

Just kidding, Vanessa!
1. What are we NOT doing that we SHOULD be doing?
While ADB isn't a miniatures company, it has a huge line of minis. You should be marketing your miniatures to players who don't play SFU games, as well. The non-canon-Trek minis, like Lyrans, Hydrans, Andromedans etc etc could easily be used in other games like Full Thrust, Battlefleet Gothic, etc. If possible, work up a simple set of FT, BFG etc stats for these line(s) for the ships to encourage players to buy them.
Recruiting Rangers aggressively & supporting them. I sent in a Ranger application a while ago, and got no reply (yet). I took for granted that it was OK and I am going ahead with demos, but you need to do a lot more with Rangers, IMO. Part of Privateer Press' success has been that they have a very active volunteer demonstrator program of their own.
2. What ARE we doing that we should do DIFFERENTLY?
The miniatures contests should be part of your marketing plan IMO. E.g. a new miniature comes out in January, then in March you schedule a painting contest for that figure. The Marketing Director then takes the photos of the painted mini and puts them in Star Fleet Alert, the blog, or wherever and reminds people that this mini was a recent release and they really should have it in stock. Same applies for existing minis - have a plan to continually remind retailers and customers about your existing mini range, using the photos of painted minis as examples.
3. What ARE we doing that we should NOT be doing?
Letting SVC deal with routine tasks like deleting spam emails and assigning file numbers to submissions. He's too busy. Too often submissions don't get a reply, which results in people posting in the 'hey steve cole' thread asking whether or not the email got through. When it is possible, I suggest that you get a part-time office helper to go through the email, delete obvious spam, assign file numbers etc to submissions and file them appropriately, and so on.
4. What new concept or idea should ADB investigate to improve its operations?
Moving to Australia to avoid all that snow!

Random replies....
Deleting Spam. Annoying as it is, it's my Email and I don't want anybody else deleting stuff. We tried that once and things that should not have been deleted got deleted.
Submission numbers: Yeah, I just quit doing that a while ago (six months? 18 months?) when I was busy and never had time to catch up. If you sent a submission and did not get an answer, do not resend it but send me an email with the original file name so I can find it. (My attachment folder has like 2000 things in it, and most people did a lousy job of putting names and email addresses on it.) The real problem is that the original submission idea (that every week we would do a few off the top of the list) didn't work (we were spending too much time evaluating submissions that fit into products three years in the future) so we converted to a system where we don't review anything; we just (when we decide to do a new product) check every submission for possible use. Despite having told people this 27 times we STILL get people asking why we haven't done submission #12 yet.
I would not mind marketing our minis to other companies, BUT, they might. If we (without asking them) started printing books of "battlefleet gothic ships that match SFB miniatures" we'd be violating sombody's copyright, and if we asked, they would doubtless say NO since they want to sell THEIR miniatures to their people, not help us sell OUR minis to THEIR people. Now, I guess in theory, we could make some kind of deal with another company where we printed a book of SFB/FC ship diagrams for their minis and they printed one of our minis. Big problem there is that I have to many deals half-done with so many customers I'm just not starting new projects until I get something done.
Recruiting Rangers: BIG failure on my part. I need to turn that over to Vanessa. Anybody who applied, drop me a line and I'll find your application.
Minis contests for new releases. That's a possibility, although we have already announced a schedule for the next 11 months. We could I guess have another contest. One big mistake in your theory. People send us photos, not painted minis, to enter the contest, and the graphics director, not the marketing director, takes pictures when we need pictures.
I have been discussing the idea of a combined FC rulebook with Leanna and Petrick just today. I was thinking of putting it in Tholian Attack instead of the map panels.
There is not a thing I can do to "get some of the original playtesters to play in FCOL, nor do I see what that would accomplish. If they wanted to play FCOL, they would be.

I would really like to see the minis contests matching what is coming out. I only recently got into FedCom and haven't gotten any minis yet, but when I do I want to be in some contests.
Alas, all the upcoming ones are pretty funky...

I want you guys to post your replies, suggestions, comments, complaints, praise, or whatever. If somebody posts their answers and I explain (as kindly as I can) why we can't use them, it doesn't mean that YOUR answers will be ignored, dismissed, or ridiculed. Indeed, even the dumbest possible suggest gives us all a change to learn something.
It's been enlightening for me that so many things we have done for years are not known to the most loyal of customers.

SFU demo wagon....
When we win the lottery.
Problem is you're talking about full time paid people and a vehicle that gets a lot of miles, plus a lot of hotel/meal expenses. Maybe WOTC can do that since they supposedly have $100 million in domestic sales.
I'd like to, but the one time I drove to Denver to do it causes some problems. Sure, I showed the game to ten people and probably got six customers, but I was gone from home/office for two days and spend more money on gas and hotel and food than I'll make from those six customers in three years.

A few thoughts from the peanut gallery.
Although you didn't ask for good things, I'd like to name a few:
(1) The game's good. If it weren't, everything else would be moot.
(2) ADB itself. I've had good customer support when I've needed it. I also appreciate that the game's designer is so accessible.
(3) Community. The community here on the forums has been really warm and welcoming to me and helpful with questions.
A few other observations, some if not all of them doubtlessly naive and unattainable, all idiosyncratic.
(1) Web site. The FC-specific Web site is pretty good. It's functional and seems designed pretty well. That said ...
(a) Priorities. To me, FC almost gets squeezed on its own home page by other related products (SFBF, PD). I realize these are related products, that someone looking up FC is disproportionately likely to be interested in the other two, but a first-time visitor might wonder whether all these products are part of the FC line (not really) or required for FC play (no).
(b) Forum. The forum interface is pretty standard, which is a good thing. Works really well, feels stable, and all that. It'd always be good to get more people over here and posting. You've got about 200 registered members but fewer than half have ever posted. I'm listed as your #29 poster in terms of number of posts with just 9 posts. Posting this message will rocket me to #28.
(c) Product List. I can't quite decide, but it might make more sense to group related products together when possible (i.e., the set with the associated boosters, minis, and border box). I find it a tad odd that I have to click on a link to "tell me more" about any of these; I sort of expect that a product list is going to tell me already.
(d) FAQs. The paragraph spacing on the FAQs page is inconsistent, and fixing it would make the page look better.
(e) Store. The store seems to work pretty well, though I think I've yet to put an order through. The individual products are a bit deeply "nested" for my taste (e.g., I have to go to FC, then Starter Sets, then 4001 to see Klingon Border's product description), but that may just be me.
(f) Commander's Circle. I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but I'm not sure why I have to go offsite for CC.
(g) Blog. Maybe a more prominent link for the blog is needed. I finally had to ask someone where it was. That could just be me.
(h) First Missions. Any reason not to promote First Missions on this site? If there's a link here, I haven't come across it.
(2) Two sites? Is dividing the FC discussion between this and the legacy site a good idea? Seems like it should all be in one place. Perhaps that's the plan?
(3) Minis. I agree with terryoc's suggestion of a broader marketing push for the minis apart from the game. Lots of people pick up Star Wars minis who have no intention of playing the minis game.
(4) SFB (FC) Online. An online presence is a good idea, especially as, right now, this is a fairly new game and one that's complex enough to sometimes make it hard to find face-to-face opponents. The demo account is a good way to get people to check things out. Still ...
(a) Player list. I think we're sort of getting there by the back door, but it'd be a good idea to have a thread in the FC Online section of the forums as a player list. (I'm on there, though not really a player yet.)
(b) Critical mass. Related to (a), it seems like for FC-only players to pony up money, there's going to have to be a critical mass of players. If I were someone thinking about paying up to $40/year for the service, I'd want to know that there's a better-than-average chance of finding an FC game on a night or weekend. There's a lot of competition for gamers' time, and many free gaming options (e.g., BSW, VASSAL) as well.
(5) Rules. The rules work. The specific rule I'm looking for is pretty easy to find. The rules are indexed, which is essential. A few things to consider, though.
(a) Graphics/layout. The book could probably be a bit more visual even if it added to the length. While I'm not suggesting an overproduced, full-color, glossy, 80-page manual like for BattleLore, it probably wouldn't hurt to have more graphical elements. I think potential new users looking at a 60-page book of nearly all text might feel intimidated, especially if they've heard how "hard" SFB (and presumably FC) is. Adding a little length to the book via some more illustrations and visual examples seems like a decent tradeoff to me.
(b) Example of play. I Know this is free online, but I think having an example of play in the rulebook itself might help people see how the rules flow together (and get them excited about playing).
(6) Plastic. More and more games are replacing cardboard bits with plastic ones. I know FC/SFB have a robust pewter minis line, but not everyone wants to buy, assemble, and paint them. There are probably all kinds of reasons not to have plastic bits, but plastic ones would have a bit more mass appeal.

Jokes about SFB players reciting long strings of rule location numbers to eachother while arguing ("3.G.F.3.7.6 section C paragraph 2 CLEARLY STATES that my drone will...") are a staple of the gaming community, and I think they most likely intimidate some players who might otherwise consider playing the game. While I really like the clarity and organization of the rules system, the manner in which it is laid out taken in combination with the minimalist/dated graphical elements definitely adds to the grognard factor. A more modern layout style, perhaps with color illustrations or game examples making use of photos showcasing some of the lovely painted minis, would go a long way to mitigating the scariness of the rules for a lot of people and could make the game more accessible and friendly to the non-hardcore.
I also -really- like the idea of plastics. Shipping boxes of plastic ships would be a really fantastic middle ground between the counters (which I personally like but which really hold a lot more appeal for wargames purists than anyone else) and minis which have to be assembled and painted (which I have sworn off completely thanks to years of pain at the end of GW's whip). If I could buy a reasonably-priced box of solid-color plastic units for a particular race (a Kzin squadron, or a small Fed fleet, or whatever) not only would I be likely to buy them, but would be able to better draw others into the game at a local game store.
Would it be possible to create/ship smaller (less expensive) starter sets? If there were a box that was $30 rather than $60, and included the rulebook, some counters (or a few plastic minis) a couple of map panels, and a half dozen ship cards, it could draw people in. For a lot of potential players (particularly young ones) $60 is a big nut to crack just to get started in a game system, so some sort of stripped down starter set might be helpful.
Finally, I am not sure what the advertising budget is, but the game needs some extra pimpage. I'm a pretty devoted gamer, and I had no idea FC even existed until someone mentioned it offhandedly in a thread on BGG where I was requesting recommendations for wargames to play. As soon as I knew it existed, I wanted to buy it! Some more web/store visibility would go a long way...store tournaments with prize support including starters or expansions, contests on BGG giving away the occasional set, etc. could all help. Just don't put 10 Lite-Brite's around Boston with Romulans giving the finger.
Well anyhow...I know I'm the new guy here and I don't want to sound too negative...I'm loving the game so far and really looking forward to playing more (and more and more and...). Keep up the great work

First: my own personal bias and point of view. I played a lot of SFB for up to about 10 years ago when I moved off to other games with local opponents. I first heard about Federation Commander last summer through a general news web site. It wasn't until last week however, that I pulled the trigger and finally made a purchase.
There is not a store I am aware of that carries the game in my extended area and so I rely upon this website and others for information on it. Hence the following requests.
A) It would be very nice if you listed just what ships/monsters the "sixteen full color double-sided laminated ship cards" included in Klingon Border, the "sixteen full color double-sided laminated ship cards" in Klingon Attack and so forth actually were. The picture at the bottom of the pages is nice, but it is hard to determine much from them. I finally did learn that by looking at the Squadron Packs of miniatures I could figure it out, but it did take some time and back and forth clicking.
B)While the two scales might be somewhat self-evident to people with experience playing SFB, I do think a page with comparison, both visual and text would go a long way to help one understand why there are two methods of play in a "simplified" game.
C) A couple of shots of games in progress with both counters and/or minatures could also go a long way to even if only of the size of the used with the contents.
D) The php method used opening downloads in the Commander's Circle creates errors in my work's firewall and my own monitored internet.
With that said, I am looking forward to running some ships for the first time in over ten years. Thanks for the effort to get those who strayed back.

The ships included in Klingon Border are:
Federation: DN, BCG, CA, CL, FF
Klingon: C8, C7, D7, D6, F5
Kzinti: BC, FF
Orion: CR
Tholian: PC
General: squadron scale BATS / fleet scale SB, F-S, F-L
Monster: Planet Killer
The Ships included in Romulan Border are:
Federation: DNG, BCF, NCA, NCL, DW
Romulan: CON, KR, WE, BH, SKA
Gorn: DN, BC, DD
General: APT/AC, MB,
Monster: Dragon
Example of:
Squadron Scale Federation Heavy Cruiser
Fleet Scale Federation Heavy Cruiser
Fundamentally, squadron scale ships are the same cards (SSDs in SFB-speak) as used in SFB. Fleet scale ships are "half-sized" ships that can be used to play fleet battles much more quickly.

WASHINGTON - A streetcar project planned in Arlington and Fairfax counties will not receive federal funding available for new transit projects.
In a joint statement released late Friday, the counties said they heard from the Federal Transit Administration that the Columbia Pike Streetcar Project was not included on a list of projects slated to receive funding in 2014 through the Small Starts/New Starts program.
The counties said they don't know why the $250 million project was not recommended for funding. But both are committed to continuing the project.
"Arlington, in partnership with Fairfax County, is committed to building a modern streetcar line along Columbia Pike as the best long-term transit investment," said Arlington County Board Chair J. Walter Tejada in a statement. "We will continue to explore all financing options, including federal financing."
The announcement came as welcome news to a group that has opposed the project, Arlingtonians for Sensible Transit.
In a statement, the group said that the lack of federal funding is just another sign that Arlington should halt the project and commission an independent cost-benefit analysis of the project.
"This is just the latest wake up call and negative assessment of this project," the group said.
Small Starts provides up to $75 million for projects that cost less than $250 million to design and build. The counties applied to the program last fall.
Their funding plan for the streetcar line depends on federal, state and local funding, including a local tax on commercial properties dedicated to transportation projects.

Really? really, really?
such a foolish thread
so you are disregarding what raikage said to naruto? raikage fought minato on various occasions, which means that he improved his speed each time he fought minato. What you showed is the first time raikage and minato meet. minato helped raikage improve his speed and even though raikage knew about the kunais and the marks, he still couldn't defeat minato's speed.
Take naruto for example. Naruto trained and trained to defeat sasuke. Naruto got better and better. The same thing happened with raikage. He trained and trained to defeat minato and what was the objective of the training. The objective for raikage was to prove who was fastest. After many attempts who won? minato won all of them to the point that led to raikage believe that no one would ever surpass him "acceptance". We all know that raikage is extremely hardheaded and for minato to force raikage into acceptance is something.
Maybe you should learn from raikage and just accept

UX Magazine running on Drupal
What a week! We have a bunch of new and exciting stuff to announce this week, but we'll start off the day by announcing our transition to Drupal. UX Magazine is now running on Drupal 6. The design has been left intact, although most of our frequent visitors will notice a dramatic upgrade regarding the sites' speed. We've also moved all out stuff over to the Rackspace cloud. We might still have some unresolved issues in the backend, and we might have to double up on some feeds but please bare bear with us, this is all part of the transition...
We have lot's of exciting announcements coming this week. Stay tuned by following us on twitter or by subscribing to one of our feeds

It's great to see somebody take the time to post some postive feedback about Drupal. Maybe this will show through as a beacon for those stuck where you were, questioning their journey with Drupal. Well done with your site too, an excellent example. Kind regards, Cody Phillips
Drupal is definitely an awesome way to go. The real test is whether it increases productivity in your organization and satisfaction from your customers.
Btw, I'd be interested in finding out what others think about the best hosting companies for Drupal. You can compare hosting companies at Best Web Hosting Review.
I swear I could put all the Drupal nay-sayers in a room and test them on the subject matter and they'd know nothing about the product. While it may be more difficult to use than Wordpress, it's 20X the tool. Drupal is blogging tool, Drupal on the other hand can be molded into serious complex applications. If you want a blog, you can have that too.
Congrats on your choice.
Do you decide to get an subscription with Acquia in case you need help?
Drupal is really great. I think for the breadth of what drupal does, it is pretty easy to learn and administer a site. I'm not saying it is perfect - far form it, but of all the things I think the simplicity of it stands out for me. This, in part, stems from some of the architecture and design (not the implementation as I think not separating presentation from model is a huge mistake) - for example, nodes and what they are and how things like collaborative books work. This architecture/design makes for, in large part, the simplicity I speak of.
By the way, nice post. Keep posting. I'll be following you.
Kind regards,

Thats a good news, Drupal is a very good platform for managing your contents and but as I am visiting your site for the first site, which platform you guys were using prior moving to Drupal ? And how's it performing since many big-scale organizations uses Drupal and regard it as the best content management platfor ?

Lawsuits are already filed in this month's disastrous Triumph cruise ship voyage, but the legal deck is stacked in parent company Carnival's favor, mainly because of the restrictive terms of the company's tickets governing who can sue and where.
The ship was disabled Feb. 10 by an engine fire, stranding thousands of passengers onboard for days in the Gulf of Mexico. Cases involving the Triumph and other Carnival Cruise Lines ships must be filed in South Florida federal courts, near the company's Miami headquarters.
But maritime law experts said Thursday that passengers could win if they can show that the cruise line was negligent in letting the ship sail despite past engine problems and that their mental suffering was so severe they had to seek medical or psychological care.

Too expensive for such a cheap looking shoe!!! Good design though!
My groomsmen and I purchased these shoes for my recent wedding. They looked great (very shiny), felt very comfortable, and matched our black suits well. We found similar shoes in department stores for around $100. Overstock's deal really can't be beat. Even ordering and shipping were a breeze. The shoes were delivered in thier original shoe box (each shoe individually bagged) and the box was wrapped in plain brown paper. I was more than happy with what I received. They even came with a shoe horn. With the proper care, I'm looking forward to these shoes lasting a while. Thanks, Overstock.com.

I bought the red one and replaced the default Stratocaster pickup with a Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails humbucker (same size/shape as the standard Strat pickup). The tone changed drastically and even if the replacement pickup costs almost as much as the guitar itself for me it was worth every penny.
The tone with the default electric guitar pickup is rated ** (sadly, a cheap trick from the factory). After the mod it obviously shoots to ***** (the Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails on the Bronco Bass, kills).
I also had to file down the fret edges because they were too sharp. Masking tape and a metal file set did the trick, along with common sense and patience. I also cut my teeth into this procedure on my Bronco, never done it before myself.
Other negative marks were the 2 pickguard screws overtightened in the essembly phase and resulting in crack-split shafts and non-gripping screws. Sadly one of them is right next to the input jack so I have to be very careful and press the pickguard down with my thumb before pulling out the jack.
The out of the box guitar quality reflected the price but the fun factor and satisfaction levels while playing it are way higher. I recommend this bass guitar for anybody, I've been playing bass for 20 years and also guitar. I know many people choose to bash short scale basses as gimmicks but for me they are different instruments with different sounds. I love them (have 4) and can tell that none of the negative ballyhoo surrounding short scale bass guitars is real.

Let me just say that this bass has GREAT value... For what I payed for it at Guitar Center. The bass needed minimal setup and was playable right out of the store. The tone is ok-not-great, slightly lacking in lows to my ears, but that is probably because the stock pickup is actually from a Stratocaster( there is also a lot of "hum" as a result); replacing the stock strings with Rotosound flatwounds solved the low end problem. This bass for me is not very comfortable, with a slab body, a wider modern fretboard radius, and several of the frets sticking out over the edge; the maple fretboard feels nice( though I prefer rosewood); the Bronco is overall, very body-heavy and thus balances flat( which I don't like).
On durability: about 9 months after 1 got my 1st one, the bridge shifted and the fretboard warped. On my 2nd one, the pickup had to be re-wired after only 3 months( the wire connecting the pickup to the volume pot had snapped).
So overall, this bass is fine for beginners, but if you have enough money to get a better bass, get a better bass.

I wanted a short scale bass, and this just looked cool. At the time, I owned a number of bass guitars, with at least two being +$1,000.00 instruments. I thought that the Bronco would be a great little knock-about bass that I could drag anywhere to practice with. So, it fits the bill with looks and design. Where it came up a bit short was on playability and tone. A good setup took care of the first. The second was a bit more of a chore. I started at the pickup, where I discovered, after removing the white cover, that it was in fact, a cheap Strat copy. *Yes, for the math experts out there, four strings and six pickup poles, which equaled nothing lining up. Well, I am surprised that Fender didn't do this themselves, the cure was so easy. I ordered up a Duncan &"Cool Rails" pickup. While I had this all apart, I decided to upgrade the pots and jack as well, and now this diminutive bass sounds great!
*Note from FENDER moderation team:
The Bronco Bass was modeled after the original Musicmaster Bass which at the time in the early '70s indeed used surplus Strat 6 pole pickups – covered by a solid plastic top.

This guitar comes easy to any beginner or any professional who is looking for a rich tone and sweet, warm, and heavy sound. The guitar has excellent tuning ability and playing ability whether you like it or not. Over all, an amazing guitar!!!!!!!! :-)
Fender has done it yet again!

I bought this bass early this year. it's a 2009 it has a few scuffs on it. i paid $79 for it. All my Fender Basses have rosewood fretboards, I've wanted to get a all maple necked Fender for awhile. The music store restrung it and did a fantastic set up on it. I bought it on the spot, hit a pawn shop and got a 10 gig bag that had a strap inside too. This has a good tone...I play it with the volume and tone up full. This is a one sound bass for me, but I like the sound. The tone knob muddies the tone, but I can get a great sound out of it.
I wanted a short scale Fender to play on a few songs...the cost was about the same as a pair of shoes, So I got a cute little instrument that sounds great and has a very nice neck. I don't know if the music store did anything to it but the fretwork and nut were above average. My only complaint is the tuners are not my favorite, you move them a hair and the note is half a step off. One in tune it stays very well. I may put new tuners on it, but they are working. It's not my main axe so they will probably last the life of the bass. The simple one ply pickguard was done nicely and the bridge is pretty beefy....even with only 2 saddles the intonation was very good. Not perfect but as good as that design will allow. I have seen several kids playing these, one kid was a fantastic player especially at age 11. I told him I was impressed and liked his bass. He said that bass goes everywhere with him.
With a lot of use I could see the tuners wearing out in a year. other than that, this is a nice affordable and good sounding instrument, and the short scale is fun to play

Well worth having one.

I needed just a small throw-around bass for recording, The sound is really nice for the price. This has been to hell and back with me and it still puts out great sounds. This is an awesome beginner bass.

When the farmers of Haryana (India) were informed about the compensation they were about to receive, they were gratified. The hailstorm damaged the season's produce and given their only source of income was taken away, farmers were suffering poorly.
A big announcement was made regarding the distribution of compensation. Farmers traveled long distances and spent money to open new bank accounts.They stood in huge queues and braved the weather. The cheques were handed to them at last. What happened next appalled the public.The cheques given out from the government were of Rs.2, Rs.5 or maximum Rs.50.
Nobody could comprehend the reason for such atrocity. The authorities later confirmed that it is due to the money spent on research and ground work that forced them to retort to such shameful act. The farmers were obviously furious.
When we encounter such instances, what is the first thought that comes to you? One side of me says it is completely our fault to have chosen such leaders who are corrupt and indifferent to everybody else. The fact that they think of stuffing themselves with gold before they even feed the dying people is incogitable. One would think that there is a limit to such things, but there is none.
My other side believes that when normal people like you and me are exposed to such humongous amount of wealth, we tend to sway. We start believing that it is our money and our resources which is insane, but true for them. Our leaders are but human. But this does not, of course, gives them right to loot tax money.
A system change? A new ideology? Is it as easy as it sounds? No, it's not. It is our responsibility to not just direct anger and hatred towards them, but also show some mercy. To adopt a rational thinking and find solutions in the current context. Dreaming of an ideal world is easy. We need to fit in our dreams in this world and make them possible somehow.
I support young educated leaders & social welfare programs at all levels. I try to be a part of campaigns which are new and aim to help the society, I will also try not to castigate those who want to do something different to bring about a transformation.
Join me :)

San Giacomo White Wine Vinegar - 250ml
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Emilia-Romagna
City / Village: Novellara
One night after a tasting of balsamic vinegars with Andrea Bezzecchi of Acetaia San Giacomo, Andrea showed us seven slender bottles with hand-written labels with words such as "birra", "mela cotogna", "Lambrusco" and "Ginepro" on each.
That night we learned about his bold new project to create a line of unique, slow-process (aka Orleans) vinegars, using ingredients from local farms (organic whenever possible).
This vinegar uses a blend of local and organically grown malvasia and pignoletto grapes, and offers a refreshing acidity recommended for salads, grilled fish or as the base for a mignonette for freshly shucked oysters.

Beautiful Bottega. It would take a salesman with a seriously silver tongue to sell me a corset top. And a corset top for day? Forget it. No boobs and a bony chest are one thing, but this is a garment so loaded with Katie Price connotations it just doesn't belong at lunch, the office or anwhere else you might be thinking of wearing a Bottega Veneta dress. But I reckon Tomas Maier's tongue is platinum-plated for the cream cotton corset top piped in white and worn with a soft and simple white skirt has gone straight to the top of my lust list.
This was a collection full of clothes that would make light of the stickiest summer. Feather-light creamy knits were semi-transparent and even layered on top of each other or over an easy jersey knit jumpsuit, never looked cumbersome. Tailoring was Japanese-inspired with obi belts and kimono collars, and flashes of colour inside lapels or at the edge of linings. But it was the dresses that had us all in a girly tizz. Soft cotton shaped plissé waists (still white) and an easy tunic with turned-up collar had 'buy me' written all over them. And all of these were accessorised with statement necklaces in horn or jade, espadrille-inspired shoes and intricate flat totes or bucket bags.
It finished with a fanfare of colour: floaty organza gowns in tropical brights were breathtakingly feminine. It doesn't get much better than this.
What we loved:
Supersoft knits
Apron front plissé cotton shift
Softest linen strapless dress with folded bodice
Red organza gown All the jewellery

Covering a broad range of topics related to the gun control debate in our country, the survey found that the overall attitude of law enforcement is strongly anti-gun legislation and pro-gun rights, with the belief that an armed citizenry is effective in stopping crime.

Bill Rancic Talks Technology
The original Apprentice dishes on his favorite high-tech gadgets.
You know him as Donald Trump's protégé on the first installment of "The Apprentice" series. Maybe you've seen him on A&E's "We Mean Business" or Style Network's reality show "Giuliana and Bill." When I met with Bill last week at his Chicago home, I learned something else about the successful real estate developer, entrepreneur and motivational speaker: He loves technology, specifically the technology that he recently had professionally installed in the 12,000-square foot home he shares with his Giuliana (E! News host).
Bill is no stranger to using home control systems, touchscreen-style interfaces and home theater equipment. His previous homes were decked out with the stuff. But in this new house, which underwent an extensive remodel, the Rancics incorporated a few additional amenities, some of which have become all-time favorites.
Here are some of them::
Sim2 LED Video Projector
Bill: "It's so much quieter than the [DLP] we had in our previous home," Bill says.
iPad Integration
Bill: "We prefer to use an iPad instead of home control touchscreens to operate the lights, music and home theater equipment."
Control4 Remote Monitoring
Bill: "We travel so much that being able to control our home remotely is critical for us. The other day while in Miami I deactivated the alarm from my iPad to let someone into the house, then locked it back up when they left. I also saw that people had helped themselves to some water from the refrigerator in our back yard barbeque area."
Their Dark Brown Home Theater
Giuliana: "Bill wanted the room to be light; I wanted it dark. Bill thought I was crazy, but I felt it had to be dark to look and feel like a real theater. It was the right decision. We're freaking out over it."
Rhapsody through the Control4 Whole-House Audio System
