The Starcaster® guitar is back. Virtually fabled since its original mid-to-late '70s tenure, the seldom-seen Starcaster occupies a special place in our history as Fender's one and only offset-waist semi-hollow electric guitar. Prized decades later by a new generation of adventurous guitarists with a flair for appealingly unconventional Fender style, the Starcaster now returns in fabulous new Modern Player form with greater sound, build and beauty that'll have you seeing stars.
The Fender Starcaster guitar's thin semi-hollow offset body has a bound maple top and back, with stylish bound f holes. Its "C"-shaped maple neck has a 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, black-dot inlays and the distinctively curvaceous Starcaster headstock. Other premium features include full-voiced dual Fender Wide Range humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, three-ply black pickguard, four skirted "amp"-style control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup) and an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with anchored tailpiece. Available in gorgeous Natural, Black and Aged Cherry Burst gloss finishes.

I love the warm, bright and thick tone of the Fender Starcaster. When I saw it first in the mid-70s I was a little bit astonished about the strange look of the guitar. But now some decades later I got rather familiar with it. I bought one in natural from a huge german music shop. My guitar was ready to be played without any issues. The sound is totally different from what you would expect from a Fender (Strat or Tele). Only my Tele deluxe sounds a bit like it (it has got the same wide range humbuckers). For everyone who likes Fender guitars and owns Strats or Teles I highly recommend you to play a Starcaster guitar. I think if a guitar is well crafted and looks and plays fine, it is not necessary where it comes from (USA, Japan Mexico or even China). This guitar is absolutely worth the Price. Would be great if Fender would produce the Starcaster with a Bigsby tremolo.

What a surprise!! Great tone, great neck, great style, great price (incredible value). What not to like? Even the headstock is growing on me. A case would have been good but this is a review of the guitar. I love the tone which is different from anything else I have in the collection.

The thing that really sold this guitar to me (other than Jonny Greenwood's original) was the concept of a semi-acoustic guitar with a maple Tele-like fretboard, which is a trick missed by many manufacturers. After waiting impatiently for my Starcaster to arrive, my first impression when I opened the box was WOW! Shiny and beautiful in aged Cherryburst. Apart from a wobbly volume pot, these things are well made despite made in China, which seems to put a lot off. I don't really like chunky necks, but this one is so comfortable and true, also pretty ready set-up and excellent playability I must add. I had a MIM Tele Custom '72 Deluxe and wasn't really a fan of the modern wide range pickups on that but on this they work well. I would recommend a good valve amp to get the best out of it tonally. It sounds so much better on my Evil Twin than on my solid state Pro 185 amp. Starcaster+The Twin+Marshall shredmaster= awesome distortion! I had a rare Rick 360WB and this £610 guitar out-jangles it on clean! I'm a Fender-holic with 2x90's US Tele plus' 1x90's mex tele and a 80's Korean E10 Squier, yet the Starcaster is becoming the most used of the lot. I prefer the flame top/bridge on originals, but a top luthier told me the originals were unstable and the re-issues are much better design. I don't know who designed them as of most Fender guitars. I guess they do look very odd but, they're so aesthetically right!!!!! Really good for the money and compared to the outrageous asking price for the 70's versions. Hey Fender, How about a custom shop US flametop with orig volume knobs and similar thru body bridge £1200???? oh yeah, and CASE to fit it in :)

I am a worship director at a small church in Michigan. I play direct through our PA (via a vox tonelab) and good, solid tone is always difficult. I've been a huge fan of wide range humbuckers for years, but tele neck radii are a bit tough on my hands. When I found this guitar, it was like a combination of a 335 and a thinline, it blew my mind. I only had to play it once to knew I wanted it. I've sold off half of my collection this past year and picked this one up. The raves were instantaneous. my harshest critic at the church can't get enough of the tone (use the neck pickup for leads, bridge for rhythm a la steve morse). The volume controls are incredibly useful. I back off for rhythm and it cleans up, and then open them up for lead. the other guitarist has used it and is in love with it. he's going to check out buying one this weekend. I play blues on the side, and there is nothing like the tone and warmth. The fretboard is responsive and amazing. I can use way less crunch and get amazing lead tone, but still crank it if I want. I feel like I was waiting for this reissue my whole life, and had no idea. I can't put it down. I haven't touched my other electrics except to polish the frets lately. Fender blew it out of the water with this one.

I've wanted one of these for years but the vintage price tag was a bit too high for a non-professional. When I received the notice of reissued Starcaster I bought one sight unseen. It was the longest 6-months.
I rang Fender's Customer Service team who had played one and told me all about it.
I like the new bridge that give it a modern edge. I've always liked the design even when it wasn't appreciated when first introduced. Although skeptical about being made in China, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I plugged it into my Blues Jr. amp. Excellent tone range from smooth to bright and worked really well with crunch courtesy of my Marshall.
I feel that the neck is fast and think the design is lovely. I decided on the aged cherry colour finish and it's really well done.
It's a great value and I feel that Fender's quality control is alive and well in Asia. The only downside is the lack of a case. The offset body and headstock make looking for a case a bit of a challenge but the rumour is that Fender will be releasing one in the near future - we'll see.
I'm a 40+ years player with fond memories of the old Starcaster and Coronado series. I bought my first Strat "new" after graduating High School in 1974 for tidy sum of $326. (Big Bucks for me back in the day). It was an awesome time to be a young guitar student. I am very impressed with the Starcaster reissue. Fender did a great job. The improvements made to this guitar were well thought out. The center block greatly improves hollow body feedback issues. The humbucking pickups are a wonderful improvement over the original CuNiFe (Copper, Nickle, Iron) wide-range pickups. While there is still a following for them, I found them to be too biting and shrill for my taste. The reissue pickups have a wonderful balance of warmth with just the right amount of bite. The overall fit and finish of my guitar is quite good. The action from the factory was acceptable but I adjusted it to my own longstanding formula. I lowered the action from the original configuration without hint of fret buzz. I have no fit or finish quality issues with my guitar and I disagree with some of the criticisms out there regarding the strings not being exactly in line with the pickup pole pieces. That is not possible on this guitar due to neck width and string spread. It affects nothing; best to use your ears and not your eyes when evaluating these things. This is not a flaw. This guitar does not come with a case nor is one made specifically for it. This is not an issue. An Epiphone 335 hardshell case will fit the Starcaster or the Coronado reissue very well. I own some very fine and very expensive guitars. This reissue is a great player's guitar with tons of mojo minus the sticker shock. You won't be afraid to gig and have fun with it.

Since the time I first saw an Original Starcaster I wanted one—no needed one. But the price on the vintage ones that pop up on ebay was just too much. When Fender announced that they were making a reissue my heart skipped a beat. At first I worried that the price would be equal to what the originals are. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was affordable. It is made in china. A slight turn off for the purist. But this guitar absolutely sings! Clean or with some dirt on it! It has a wonderful amount of that Fender twang while still keeping the lower tones of a humbucker. I can only think of two things that turn me off from this guitar. The first is that Fender doesn't have a hard case for it(For now, I call almost every week to ask about it! Change will come!) and second that the strings that come on it are absolutely awful. After 2 days of playing it they got swapped for Elixir Polyweb with anti-rust.
All in all an absolutely WONDERFUL guitar! Highly recommend.

This guitar design is really cool, and I love the fact that it has a center block to keep the feedback down. The finish is cool looking on the aging cherry guitar. The aged neck patina gives it a retro look, as does the head stock. The frets are smooth and easy on the fingers the entire length of the neck.
Was looking for a tone monster, and it comes close. Even sounds good acoustically.
The nut appears to be plastic and I am afraid that it won't support my string taste, 11s or 12s. Need the heavier strings for good tone. The bridge spacing is way off. It could have been made to cover the poles on the pickups; both E strings and the B string are off, especially the high E and B. I pulled the high E over the poles of the both pickups and there was plenty of room left on the neck.
One of the pots was loose. It just spins around continuously. When I contacted Fender about this I was told, "that's no problem, it can be fixed by a technician." That kind of attitude is disheartening. I paid for this guitar and I expect at least a little empathy when I describe a problem.
The worst thing about this guitar is that is does not come with any protection; no gig bag or case. I haven't seen a case advertised, but I did purchase the metro gig bag and discovered it to be useless. The quality of the gig bag is not as advertised and the bag was way too big. There is over 2 inches of play on the body. How can you do this to us Fender?
Overall, if you want a novelty guitar, this might work for you. Otherwise, the drawbacks might lead you on a path to another guitar.

I have both the Starcaster and Coronado as well as an original 60's Coronado. I'm very impressed with all of them. I started really banging on the Starcaster yesterday and it held up really well. I'd say these reissues are solid if you want modern electronics. Will these displace an American Tele or Strat? Well, no. Are these inexpensive hollow body guitars that perform well? Yes. Are they worth the money? Absolutely. I could get into some technical details and wax on about the neck, Bigsby (or lack thereof) and so on. Fact is, they are approximations of past products and they are inexpensive enough to be customized if the need should arise. It's like any guitar, make sure the fit is good with the player BEFORE you buy it. All told, solid products that are stable enough to gig with easily.

I've loved this guitar since I was little. I love Fender but also always loved semi-hollow guitars so it fits perfect for that. The guitar is great and even though it doesn't have an original bridge, pickups, and master volume, I think there is still a demand. One thing I would like to see Fender do with the Starcaster is add a rosewood neck option, and if they are using the tune-o-matic bridge option, maybe offer an optional bigsby option. These little things could help people create a new sound with a new instrument and achieve a true semi-hollow look and sound.
I'm a guitar builder and player. I was wanting to build a SC style guitar, but couldn't have touched just the parts alone under $1k. Our local stores in Tucson, none of them, had one of these in stock ever since they first appeared in the new version. I ordered one online from Guitar Center's web site, and it was on back order until late December when one in the burst color finally came in. I found none available anywhere, including Sweetwater and Sam Ash. Everyone was back ordered EXCEPT vendors on eBay, which I find highly wrong. I refused to buy one there and waiting. Now...first thing. The shipping box is cool..unique. Kinda works as a case. I might line it with some foam and stuff if you're not going to make a case available. But...please do. The only thing I don't like about the guitar is a lack of a rear control cavity panel. After dealing directly with Chinese guitar makers for several years and guitars, I do however understand not pursuing it at this time. The neck on this is quite comfortable...not skinny, not fat. I'd love a rosewood board option though. Playabiity is great. It sounds outstanding going through my 72 Vibrolux Reverb...but then almost everything does. It also sounds great through my Gibson L5, which is solid state. It's warm without being dark as some humbuckers can get. Great job...now...a US Custom shop version maybe??

I was excited about getting a Starcaster and I really dig it, but no guitar case? The fact that there is no guitar case made for the Modern Player Series Starcaster (and I assume the same for the Coronado) is a serious misstep by Fender for the following reason: A Starcaster doesn't fit in any other guitar case because of it's unusual shape. The only solution is to put it in a gig bag and a gig bag is not great for storing an instrument. And not only that, but there are certain times when a hardshell case is needed, such as when flying.
I upgraded all of the electronics on my new Starcaster and had it set up. Now it plays and sounds great. Now I need to solve the problem of having no case for it. Drag!

I won't repeat comments from two previous reviewers who nailed it. I'll add that Fender has provided a high quality "tribute" model in the Starcaster that is a pleasure to play and sounds great. I own lots of US and Mexico made guitars, and this model while not quite comparable in build spec/quality, yet is a fine Fender. Prevailing opinion on boards is that Fender branded Modern Player series is made in same Chinese factory as Squier, but focused on special specs, models, and quality maybe a step above. That said, some components are lower quality than US. The Starcaster did ship to me with a cracked tone pot (the pot was loose from the socket; 3/4" pot, not std 1" pot), which my guitar repair guy told me was over tighted at factory. I had it replaced and everything is now wonderful. The FWRH pickups are obviously not the 70's cunife threaded magnets, and probably once again removed from Mexico made FWRH, but the ones in this guitar sound great nevertheless - they sound somewhere inbetween PAF humbuckers and single coils, a more gentle open sounding pup, and they sound really creamy smooth when overdriven via amp or pedal. This guitar for the price is well worth it. Its a head turner and loads of fun to play.

Let me first say this guitar isn't for everyone. Purists will scoff at the bolt on neck and off-center body. For me personally, dare I say I've mostly been a Gibson USA / humbucker guy. And while I love the tone on the Gibson semi-hollows... they just never felt right on me. I felt like a little kid trying to play dress up. I also never really loved the fatter necks. And so when this re-issue came along, it was exactly what I was looking for. The off-center body (with cherry burst finish) looks great and feels well balanced. As for the neck, it definitely comes down to personal preference, but I think the neck on this thing is perfect the way it is.
Now on to what really matters. Perhaps most surprising was the tone. When I saw this puppy was made in China, I chuckled but figured I'd give it a whirl. Plugged into a Fender blues deluxe and it was love at first riff. These WR humbuckers sound amazing, especially for the price. Coupled with a great percussive and natural tone, it brought out a sound that I did not expect from an "entry level" piece. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and perform regularly, and this just might be my new favorite ax.
So before you judge because it's not a true reissue, or because it's made in China, or because it's a bolt on neck, or because its not the original WR humbuckers... plug the thing in and let your ears be the judge. Great craftsmanship, great neck and frets... smooth all the way down. And did I mention versatile? Can't overstate that part. Thanks Fender for bringing something of incredible value to the market.

The Starcaster is a damn fine guitar with bags of character and charm. It's as sonically arresting as it is visually and has one of the nicest playing necks I've tried for a while. And while I'm talking about necks; it's really quite odd to see a semi acoustic with a bolt on neck, but just another oddity that make this guitar so cool. Traditionalist seem to slag off these pickups as not being true to the originals but I'm hearing a really great squishy compressed alnico tone that's just great played clean or dirty. I love this guitar.

I am about to own this guitar and I am buying it because I find the Starcaster one of the best guitars I have ever seen! It has an incredible, unique design, amazing specs, and, for what I can see from videos, it also has a greaat sound and is really easy to play! I really love Fender, and really love the Starcaster! Also the Starcaster, unlike most of the hollow bodys, has a great, comfortable to play, neck, wich might not seem very important, but infact, it is!
If you are in the same situation as I am, looking for a good hollow body guitar for a good price, go for the Starcaster instead, an amazing hollow body guitar for a good price!

As in the preceding Trio in B flat, the piano-writing is at times almost like that of a concerto. But in other ways the character of this trio is quite different. The key of E major is highly unusual for Mozart, and the first movement in particular is full of harmonic twists and surprises. The opening theme on the piano seems uncertain whether it is joyful or melancholy, drooping chromatically downwards in its second bar. Rushing scales as the strings join in seem to tilt the balance away from melancholy, and the music proceeds serenely on its way, until one of the piano's rising scales unexpectedly hits a B sharp, abruptly generating a modulation to bring us to B major for the second theme. As this theme draws to a close, we suddenly find ourselves in G major and then G minor—very remote from E major. But Mozart equally quickly recovers to end the first section in B major, rounding it off with an extended version of the chromatically drooping second bar. Characteristically, Mozart follows with a development based not on the most prominent material, but on an apparently insignificant falling interval from the middle of the first theme, followed by a new phrase with a turn and a rising scale. The three instruments answer in fugal style, continuing in genial conversation until the piano suddenly bursts into a passage of flamboyant concerto arpeggios. Equally abruptly this comes to a halt, and we are back at the reprise of the opening theme.
The second movement is a graceful Andante, with dotted rhythms and pointed off-beat phrasing suggesting the poise of a formal dance. Again, sudden harmonic surprises give an occasional dark hint of what lies below the surface. Most poignant is the middle section in the minor, with the violin answered by questioning phrases in the bass of the piano.
Mozart had two attempts at writing the finale for this trio. He wrote more than sixty bars of a first version before abandoning it: just as he was embarking on a fugato passage, he decided to start all over again. The new theme which he then wrote is, as Alfred Einstein puts it, 'almost childlike'. It owes part of its character to the fact that, as the piano begins the melody, the accompanying left hand avoids playing the keynote, E, until the strings come in. This has the effect of making the theme seem to float in the air, unsupported. The finale echoes elements from the first movement: a second theme begins with a falling chromatic scale, and in later episodes the piano breaks into brilliant runs and arpeggios, answered on one occasion by a dashing display from the violin. But the simple main theme seems quite unaffected by all this; and as the movement draws to a close, Mozart presents us with not so much a climax as a distillation of the mood of the whole piece. And this impression is reinforced by the final bars, where each instrument reiterates the little turn and rising scale that had figured prominently in the central section of the first movement.

The theme itself is taken from a Suite for two oboes and strings that Telemann composed around 1733 as part of his Tafelmusik. (Listeners who fancy 'checking out' the original are directed to the Suite, or Ouverture, that opens the Tafelmusik's 'Production III'. The Menuet is its seventh and final movement. The Suite has been recorded by The King's Consort on Helios CDH55278.) Reger's first statement of the theme immediately suggests parallels with Brahms, whereas the first four variations provide straightforward embellishments in a similar vein, whether regal (No 1), swirling (No 2), slipping (No 3, with staccato triplets) or dancing (No 4). The gigue-like fifth variation leads to octave triplets in No 6, Chopinesque cascades in No 7 and octave leaps in No 9.
Variation 10 (Quasi adagio) marks a dramatic easing of pulse; No 11 picks up the tempo a little, and No 12 fires gunshot chords that scatter flurries of repeated notes. The thirteenth variation is elegant and lightly brushed; No 14 tucks sustained trills in among its already dense textures, and with No 17 we move to the shaded glades of B flat minor before madcap arpeggios (No 18) signal a return to the home key (in No 19) and a warming Poco vivace (No 21).
The next two variations mark a return to pianistic athletics, but with No 23 we reach a majestic, richly harmonized chorale-style melody and a desolate bridge to the closing Fugue—more playful than Reger's 'Bach' Fugue, and rather less complex, save for the expected broadening around the peroration. Beethoven comes to mind here, especially in the central section, which slows perceptibly only to build again—a ploy that Beethoven used at the centre of his Hammerklavier Sonata's fugal finale.

Current progression: 6/6 MV, 2/6 HOF
Website: http://www.killorder.org
KO is seeking to add more diversity to our main raid and establish additional, autonomous raids. If you are looking for a progression raid with fun, intelligent players in a casual-hardcore environment, this might be the place for you.
- Lvl 25 Alliance progression guild on the Azgalor (US) server
- Created especially for adults, casual hardcore players, and players that appreciate their fellow raiders
- Raids that are focused and productive - while having fun
- We do not tolerate drama, obnoxious elitism, or other types of B.S.
A majority of our raiders have been associated with end-game progression raiding since WoW's inception. We are players that love to have fun, harass each other, and enjoy the game. We are comprised of diverse personalities that enjoy each other's company, the culture we've created, and being able to progress without feeling like raiding is a second job. Experience a progression raid and/or knowledgeable guild of players without the elitism, drama, and cliques typical of large progression guilds.
We are serious about raiding, and expect our raiders to show up on time, do the proper research for gear, specs, and boss encounters, and give 100 percent.
Comms: We use Mumble for in-game communication. We believe that creating relationships is a critical part of building a strong guild, and many of us can be found here outside of raiding.
Raid times: Main Raid is 7-11pm Central on Wed & Sun. Second Raid is 8-11pm Central on Thurs and Mon. Additional raid times and options to be determined.
Recruitment: Any exceptional players should apply regardless of role or class. We are also looking for several pro players who may not be able to commit to a weekly raid schedule, but can be available to fill in on occasion when needed.
Process: If you are approved to join KO, you will be considered for new raids we are forming. If there is a spot open in an existing raid, we will "trial" players we are considering with an initial raid event to see how they perform and fit our culture before offering the official raid position. We look forward to the opportunity to get to know you.
Benefits: All raiders can enjoy access to guild bank, guild repairs, raiding materials, crafting materials, and raid boe's as available. (Conditional upon having an Authenticator attached to your account. No exceptions.)
Guild contacts: Ganrokh (firstname.lastname@example.com), Raistlinn (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Long Island Fight for Charity (LIFFC) hosted nearly 250 supporters at a recent celebration held at the Hilton Long Island in Melville. Plans were announced for activities leading up to the Tenth Long Island Fight for Charity's "Main Event," scheduled for November 25, 2013. At the main event volunteer boxers from the Long Island business community who have completed intense training will step into the ring for charity.
The first volunteer boxers who have been announced to participate in the 2013 Main Event are Keith Dawson of Patchogue, Anthony Giallanzo of Glen Cove, Mike Haltman of Woodbury, Joanne Hutchins of Bayville, Kevin Kelly of Plainview, Bill Mabanta of Holtsville and Leaf Steuernagel of Bellport, as well as Scott Zuckerman and Joe Palumbo.
"It's inspiring to see these devoted men and women take the time a year before the fight to introduce themselves and help raise money for charity. Boxers are making a significant commitment of time and effort for a worthy cause. We expect our tenth event to be our largest and most successful to date," said Jamie Austin, of Austin Travel and LI Fight for Charity Co-Founder.
Businesspeople, corporate and professional sponsors, volunteers, alumni boxers, and nonprofit and community leaders gathered to look back at the impressive history of the LI Fight for Charity. More than 150 volunteer Fight for Charity boxers have met each other in the ring and have raised funds for worthy causes. No other Long Island fundraising organization has succeeded in raising more than $700,000 to distribute to individuals and charities in such a unique and selfless way. Long Island Community Chest, Family Residences and Essential Enterprises and the Genesis School Eden II Programs are among the not-for-profit organizations supported by LI Fight for Charity.
A panel discussion with alumni celebrity boxers was hosted by News12 Long Island's Elisa DiStefano and a Full Contact Speed Networking program were highlights of the evening. Dozens of people participated in the "Full Contact Speed Networking" program, where attendees were invited to "step in the ring" to take part in the region's largest speed networking experience for the opportunity to meet new contacts.
Boxer applications are being accepted now for participation in a limited number of main event bouts and are available by calling (877) 240-7821, ext. 1. Boxing experience isn't necessary. Applicants must complete an application; obtain medical clearance; make a commitment to train (gym locations to be announced); attend LIFFC events, and raise funds for Long Island charities. Tickets for the Tenth Fight for Charity are available now for $100. The price will go up early next year. For tickets, visit http://conta.cc/T6jrox and for further information, visit www.lifightforcharity.org or www.facebook.com/LIfightforcharity.

A league official tells The Associated Press that prospective owner of the Phoenix Coyotes is unlikely to complete a deal to buy the team from the NHL before a lease agreement with the City of Glendale expires.
Barring a last-minute change, former San Jose Sharks CEO Greg Jamison won't have the money or investors in place to meet the midnight Thursday deadline for the lease agreement, the official says on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the situation.
Jamison reached a 20-year, $324 million lease deal with Glendale last year that was reworked in November.
The Coyotes have been run by the NHL since the previous owner took the team into bankruptcy in 2009.
Multiple sources told ESPN.com on Wednesday that Jamison cannot produce the needed capital. Jamison has repeatedly said he would be able to produce the needed money. He told multiple media outlets on Tuesday that he was working toward completing a deal.
A separate group of investors is ready to step in, but it is unknown if Glendale officials would extend the lease agreement. Jamison negotiated the terms of the lease, ESPN.com reports. Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers is prepared to honor the agreement with Jamison through Thursday, but he told the Arizona Republic that the city will not honor it "one second past" the midnight deadline.
"If he can make the thing happen, we'll do everything we can to make it work. If he can't, we're certainly going to be going in a different direction," Weiers said.
Glendale city attorney Craig Tindall told the Arizona Republic that the agreement does not spell out how Jamison or the NHL would notify the city or prove that a sale has been closed in time.
"I don't think the NHL would indicate to us that they have sold one of their franchises unless they consider it to have been sold," Tindall told the Republic. "I can't imagine that they would answer that question, unless they were certain that they had a sale."
Under the lease agreement, the team's owners would receive about $308 million over 20 years to manage Jobing.com Arena and book non-hockey events there.
The Coyotes have been run by the NHL the past three seasons, since former owner Jerry Moyes took the team into bankruptcy in 2009. The team still managed to be successful on the ice despite financial limitations, reaching the playoffs all three years, including the franchise's first trip to the Western Conference finals in 2011-12.
The Coyotes have had several potential suitors in that time and a deal with Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer appeared to be in place last year before the conservative watchdog group Goldwater Institute killed it by warning potential bond buyers to stay away from the Glendale offering because of a looming lawsuit.
Goldwater tried to stop the deal with Jamison, but the City Council voted in favor of the lease agreement during the summer and Glendale voters in November's election upheld a 0.7 percent sales tax increase designed to help the city's finances.
A reworked deal with the city in November appeared to clear the way for Jamison to buy the team, but the NHL lockout may have hurt his ability to gain the finances he needed to beat the deadline.

Yesterday I attended the Czech and Slovak American Genealogical Society meeting in La Grange. Mike Karsen was the speaker and he was fantastic! I learned several ways to produce family history books that can be as simple or complex as I wish them to be. He stressed the point of beginning to write NOW many times. It is so important to stop making excuses and just start writing. At the end of his presentation he gave us Family History Pledge cards to fill out. If we did, and pledged to begin writing, he gave us (free) a CD with all his writing lectures and examples of all his personal family history books. What a great resource to help get the writing process started! If you get an opportunity to hear Mike, be sure to do so! You can also visit him online at http://www.MikeKaresen.com.
After the presentation I did speak with a man named Bob who told us about his trip to the Czech lands and how he discovered more about his family. I thought he said one of his family names was Chrastka, but when we spoke, it was Krafka. His wife and I spoke a while about my Robert Brouk book and Virginia, who joined the WAAC. She had an aunt in the WAAC and told me several great stories. I encouraged her to start blogging those stories when she said she needs to start writing them down and to contact me if she wants help getting started. Blogging is a great way to start and her stories will reach so many people. You can bet if she starts I will be one of her followers and you'll see her link on my pages.
The next CSAGSI meeting is January 22, 2011 and the speaker will talk about Czech glass. Attendees are encouraged to bring pieces of their own to share.

Nycci Nellis, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Alice Waters, Jose Andres and Joan Nathan - the "Big Three" of the national foodie scene - are once again bringing the best and brightest chefs, mixologists and artisans to D.C. for the two-day, fine edibles and potables-fueled Sips & Suppers benefit, also known as Sips n Sups.
The annual bash, a joint fundraiser for nonprofits DC Central Kitchen and Martha's Table, takes place this Saturday and Sunday in the D.C. area. The event debuted in 2009 around the same time as President Barack Obama's first inaugural celebration.
A modest affair then (a couple of well-meaning foodies standing around sipping and then supping), Sips n Sups has grown to become one of the area's premier, charitably-inspired events. Wine and food professionals from across the nation and world come to demonstrate their culinary prowess, help raise big bucks for two beloved charities and, no doubt, please three of foodiedom's most prominent leading lights.
The Saturday evening Sips event, the less expensive of the two at $95 per person, delivers big bang for the buck and kicks off at the Newseum at 7 p.m. Stroll the museum's great halls while toe-tapping to live jazz from the J Kelly Ensemble and digging into sips and sample tastes.
On the drink side, you'll find the likes of mixologists Gina Chersevani (Buffalo & Bergen and Hank's Oyster Bar) and Dan Searing (Room 11) shaking up specialty cocktails, while Tuscan wine educator Filippo Bartolotta pours lusty, Italian wines.
Live cooking demos throughout the evening will offer samples of some of the region's finest tastes. Craig Rogers, shepherd of Border Springs Farms in Patrick Country, Va., and purveyor of superlative, pasture-raised lambs to many of D.C.'s top restaurants, will serve up his lamb curry.
The ladies behind local favorite Gordy's Pickle Jar, Sarah Gordon and Sheila Fain, will offer up bites of their hot chili spears, while fresh-as-they-come Rappahannock River Oysters will be shucked and ready for tasty dispatch.

Ready to really put your (charitable) money where your (hungry) mouth is? There still are a few tickets left at $550 per person for Sunday night's Sups. The evening will take place at 26 private homes across the District.
Local and internationally distinguished chefs, who are donating their time to the cause, will pair up to serve mind-blowing, multi-course dinners, many highlighting local products and fine wines. Suppers will include an Icelandic feast prepared by chefs Jeff Buben (Vidalia) and Siggi Hall of Siggi Hall Restaurant in Reykjavik, Iceland and chefs Erik Bruner Yang (Toki Underground) and Scott Drewno (The Source by Wolfgang Puck) have concocted a special menu celebrating the Chinese New Year.
The evening's activities also include discussions ranging from the importance of local food, to health, the economy and the environment led by representatives from DC Central Kitchen and Martha's Table.

Learning a new area certainly takes an investment of time. We understand that when you choose to take on a new area, whether it is elder law, special needs planning, veterans pension planning or all three, you want to know that you can get up to speed quickly. We have a proven set of educational programs to help you learn the law and apply it. All of our training programs are labeled our "Immersion Camps" as they focus on one practice area and make sure you learn the law and how to apply it quickly. We also provide ongoing support to keep you on the cutting edge of the law, and to make sure you are giving clients the best possible service.
We would love the chance to learn more about you and whether ElderCounsel would be a good fit for you. Please click the button below to schedule a short web meeting that works for your schedule.
Many attorneys start out with a staff of one – the attorney. The important thing is to find the practice area you love and to get started.
We are here to help, as we understand the staffing – including finding, hiring, and training staff - is a common struggle faced by attorneys of all practice types and all experience levels. The good news is, there is no right or wrong answer about when to add staff. The first step is to determine what type of practice you want. While that may sound simple, in our experience many attorneys don't consider this before beginning to take clients. Soon, the type of clients that happen to call dictate the type of practice the attorney has. We'd like to help you design and build the type of practice you want. Be sure to check out our Office Management Division – your tool to building and growing a practice (and staff) you love!
Absolutely! It will be one of the most rewarding decisions you make. We have numerous programs to get you up to speed quickly, starting with our "Entering Elder Law From the Ground Floor" self-study courses, to our "Elder Law Immersion and Practice Building Camp" – a program that has trained hundreds of attorneys to become knowledgeable and profitable elder law attorneys.
We don't stop there – after the Immersion Camp you will spend 4 weeks implementing what you learned by drafting documents and reviewing them with an instructor, and by getting continued coaching from one of the top attorney coaches in the country. These courses are open to members only, and attendance is limited to ensure each attendee gets the best possible experience. If you have any questions about our education offerings, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our members answer this question best:
"Thank you for making me look good and for always answering the questions I run into while I am drafting, no matter how simple they are. I really couldn't do this without the support I get through ElderCounsel. "

"One thing I appreciate about ElderCounsel is you want me to practice law right and succeed! You are not just selling a product. I also appreciate the fact that ElderCounsel stays on the cutting edge of the law – you understand and incorporate new law immediately. This is invaluable for a solo practitioner."

Comments about Cycle Force Mini Scooter:
This seemed like a very good product. The problem is that you can't get enough information about it from this site to make a truly informed purchase. Things such as, say, the actual make and model of the scooter.
This is SHIPPED by CFS, but the make/model is the France Muffin. Had I known this I could have researched it further and gotten a more complete picture of it rather than having to wait until I received it, reading the accompanying literature, then returning it the next day.
I'm a scooter novice, and out of the box this seemed like a very good product. But I wanted one for short commutes. This is strictly a trick scooter. The pamphlet that comes with it says to never use it on a slope or on any sort of imperfect surface. You can't commute with a scooter like that. That sort of info was not available on this website when I was shopping.
Also know that if you return it, you will be picking up the tab for the shipping. In my case it was $15.50. Not a bank breaker, but something you need to know.
To repeat, this seemed like a very good scooter. But know that its uses are very limited.

Pregnancy termination
It has taken me a long time to write this thread because it is such a sensitive issue.
As a woman, I feel compelled to support the right to choose and yet because I am a woman I also feel compelled to protect the lives of unborn children.
I am finding it harder and harder to sanction something that I know in the end causes the death of the very beings we are supposed to protect. This is an issue that has me deeply torn especially as I delve deeper into my spirituality. How can I claim to be a more conscious being who realizes her interconnectedness with all Life and still say abortion is ok?
I have close friends who have had abortions, some of whom I actually supported through it all. I also have close friends and relatives whose mothers were pressured by family members to terminate their pregnancies. Needless to say they are ever so grateful that their mothers chose not to do so.
I also understand why a woman who was raped, or one whose pregnancy is a danger to her life, would want the pregnancy terminated.
I am not starting this thread to pass judgment, I am simply looking for more clarity.
For those of you who are spiritual and pro-choice, how are you able to reconcile both?

It's Empty Like Blue Roses is a part of a series titled Recovery. This series of works were inspired by the events of 2008, a very intense year for me personally. My father is disabled, single and I am his only child. He is my co-worker, partner and one of my biggest fans. In October of 2008, he suffered from a bleeding ulcer, addiction to prescription drugs, and gal bladder problems. I learned many things through this experience, not knowing at the time that things only got so bad because they were in the transition of becoming so good. These works express life, nutrition, soul food, simplicity and the absolute beauty of Recovery--recovery from anything.

Pointing to the new administration comprised of a history-making female majority and the first Iranian American elected to office in New York State, Supervisor Jon Kaiman took the oath of office for a fifth term Jan. 2, promising to hit the ground running with his reshuffled team and to continue stressing innovation, continuity and accountability.
With his wife, Kim, and his three children by his side along with a number of other family members, North Hempstead's fifth-term supervisor was sworn in by U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer at a mid afternoon ceremony at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park. He paid tribute afterwards to the political process and America, a place where one can go from political refugee to politician.
"As we go from candidate to elected official, we must celebrate the process," Supervisor Kaiman said, declaring the start of his fifth term an "extraordinary" moment. "When you look at the people here today who have stepped forward to serve, you feel an extraordinary sense of pride in the system of government and the responsibility given by the people to serve, to provide public safety, to make sure the drinking water is clean and to enforce the codes."
More than 300 hundred guests including Town Councilwomen Viviana Russell and Lee Seeman, as well as state, county and local elected officials, party leaders from across both aisles as well as a long list of local mayors and village trustees, attended the two-hour-long mid-afternoon ceremony.
Supervisor Kaiman outlined his accomplishments to them, highlighting his hallmark programs, including TownStat, North Hempstead's innovative performance management system, the Comprehensive School Recycling Program involving more than 34,000 students in nine of the town's 11 school districts, and Project Independence, the town's groundbreaking 'aging in place' initiative. He vowed to continue honing them.
The fifth inauguration ceremony for Supervisor Kaiman featured the installation of two newly-elected Town Council members, Anna M. Kaplan and Dina M. DeGiorgio, re-elected Town Councilman Thomas K. Dwyer, and the re-elected Receiver of Taxes, Charles Berman.
The ceremony kicked off with welcoming remarks from Town Leader Gerard Terry, the emcee for the occasion, followed by the presentation of the colors by two members of the New York State Court Officers Ceremonial Unit. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by the children of Supervisor Kaiman, Receiver of Taxes Berman, and newcomers Kaplan and DeGiorgio.
Lisa Berman, the wife of Tax Receiver Berman, led the audience in the singing of the National Anthem. The musical interlude featured Disha Singh, a Herricks High School sophomore who performed a rendition of Claude Debussy's Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum on piano. Habeeb U. Ahmed, chair of the Islamic Center of Long Island, Westbury, blessed the ceremony in bilingual prayers and Msgr. Brendan P. Biordan, pastor of St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church in Great Neck, gave the benediction.
New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli swore in Anna M. Kaplan, a Democrat elected to the seat formerly held by Councilwoman Maria Christina Poons, and the first Iranian American to be elected to office in the State.
"I owe a great deal to this country and I hope I can give back some measure of what it gave to me," said Kaplan. "My job is to represent everyone and I will make no distinctions between Democrats and Republicans," she said.
With the election of Kaplan and DeGiorgio, who was elected to the seat held by Councilman Fred Pollack, the seven-member North Hempstead Town Board now has a female majority of four Councilwomen.
DeGiorgio, who was sworn in by former U.S. Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato, said: "In the days ahead, I will work together with the administration to accomplish one common goal: serve the residents of North Hempstead. Today is a day for words and beautiful speeches, but tomorrow is a time for action. I like to make my actions speak louder than my words."
Town Councilman Thomas K. Dwyer, who was re-elected to his third four-year term, recalled his father talking a lot about a "young up and coming" Republican. "Today, I'm fortunate enough to have this individual swear me in," Dwyer said, referring to former State Senator Michael Balboni. "Mike always crossed party lines and I plan to continue doing the same as I search for innovative ways to provide services as we go forward."
Receiver of Taxes Berman, too, echoed the theme of innovation in his office. Since 2010, he said, he has "made great strides" towards improving services, totally overhauling the Receiver of Taxes portion of the town's website, for example. Now, also, Berman said, residents can avail themselves of the most complete catalogue of property tax exemption information in the county.
Berman said, "During the tough economic times, we didn't harden our hearts at Town Hall, we continued to deliver essential services. Faced with adversity, we got better, my office being a prime example."

Ed Bott
Yes, now!
Not time yet
Ken Hess
Best Argument: Yes, now!
Audience Favored: Not time yet (68%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Stop the madness
Ed Bott: Shrink-wrapped software is so analog and sooooo last century. It belongs on a list with afternoon newspapers, VHS tapes, and rotary phones.
The problem isn't the physical package. Instead, it's the idea that software releases can be frozen in time and maintained in that static state for years. That might have made sense in the days when bits had to be shipped on physical media. But this is 2013. C'mon.
Software changes quickly, and if you want to get security fixes and new features, you need to move just as quickly. Google has been successful using regular automatic updates and Chrome-hosted apps. Microsoft's experience with Office 365 is also promising.
Maintaining multiple versions of software imposes a serious engineering burden on software developers. Right now, for example, Microsoft is supporting five different versions of Windows. That's a tremendous waste of engineering resources, with equal amounts of waste on the client's side, managing those deployments.
The sooner we get off the update management treadmill and transition to continuously improving software, the more productive we'll all be.
It's all about lowering risk.
Ken Hess: It's easy for me to argue the 'Yes' side of this question by saying things such as, "It's 2013, software should be delivered as-a-Service, or via ISO, or by App stores." And those are fine arguments--for consumers but not at all for businesses. ISOs are nothing new. App stores really aren't all that new. And cloud-based software offerings aren't all that new either. But their relative newness makes them seem risky.
What you have to think about for businesses is the very old concept of risk. Risk plays a major role in business and the decisions made around it. Businesses spend billions of dollars per year to reduce and mitigate risk. Having a physical piece of software and its accompanying license reduces risk.
If I have a CD or DVD of a legitimate product on my premises, registered to my company, no one can say that I have violated a copyright, patent, or licensing requirement for that product. That physical product is my assurance and my safety net against such accusations. The risks associated with a license dispute, an accusation of software piracy, or a copyright infringement suit are too great to forfeit that shrink-wrapped, paid-for, official copy to in exchange for a few blips on a computer screen.
A physical copy can't be hacked into or compromised over the Internet. It can't be erased with an accidental slip of the finger. Nor can it be denied legitimacy. Not so of cloud-based software or online subscriptions. That physical asset has value. It has more perceived value than its online equivalent does. Maybe that's a matter of perception but perception is reality.
It is not time for businesses to give up on physical software assets or on the prospect of reducing risk. Shrink-wrapped software gives business owners peace of mind that there's something in the cabinet that says, "I purchased that software license. It's mine. I have physical proof."

Risk Factors for dental disease in cats
The most common risk factor for dental disease is a lack of adequate teeth cleaning by cat owners. Daily tooth brushing is as important as regular professional cleanings performed by veterinarians. In fact, unless cat owners perform regular teeth cleaning at home, periodontal disease and other conditions may progress regardless of the care provided by veterinarians.
Kittens with retained deciduous teeth (also known as primary teeth, baby teeth, milk teeth, or kitten teeth) may be at increased risk for the development of periodontal disease. Cats who chew on hard objects or synthetic chew toys may also be prone to tooth damage that may result in periodontal disease. Some chronic medical conditions such as Diabetes may increase a cat's risk for periodontal disease. If your adult or senior cat is affected by a chronic condition ask your vet about the best way to maintain his dental health.
How can you prevent dental disease
in your cat?
The key to management of dental disease in cats is prevention. As long as the surfaces of the teeth are cleaned frequently and plaque is effectively removed daily, the gums will stay healthy. Prevention requires both at-home brushing as well as regular professional veterinary dental cleanings.
For best results, tooth brushing should start when your cat is a kitten. Young kittens will easily adapt to teeth cleaning at home. As cats age and develop tooth and gum disease, there may be pain associated with brushing and they may be less willing to allow brushing. If your cat is completely unwilling to allow brushing, there are dental wipes that can help control plaque when rubbed twice daily against the teeth and gums.
In addition to daily tooth brushing, your cat will require annual dental cleanings by their veterinarian. Professional cat teeth cleanings should begin at 1 year of age to prevent periodontal disease from occurring.

Once upon a time every fashionista in the land was chopping off their locks faster than you can say Alexa Chung, but 2012 has definitely been a year of growth. While Grazia's Beauty Team has long advocated Rapunzel hair it seems like the rest of us have finally caught up. A clear indication of this development comes from the fact that back in 2007 closely cropped Agyness Deyn won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards while this year that prize went to long haired lovely Cara Delevigne.
Cara also came out on top in our round up of the best blonde hairstyles of 2012, but the girl can't win everything! In the long hairstyles category she had stiff competition from the brunettes, including Lana Del Rey and her retro waves and Kristen Stewart whose side swept red carpet 'do gives her look some much needed polish - lending to the theory that you can afford to be a bit scruffier when you have Princess hair.
The Victoria's Secret girls always give good hair-spiration, including Brit bombshell Rosie Huntinton-Whiteley. The model-turned-actress' Hollywood curls almost put her on a par with Gossip Girl Blake Lively who works a fishtail plait to enviable effect. And if we're talking glossy locks it would be rude not to mention Kate Middleton and her chocolaty brown mane. The recent addition of a Farrah Fawcett-esque fringe caused quite a stir at Grazia HQ.
So take a look through our long hair hall of fame above to see which magical manes rank against the likes of Cara and Kate - and do let us know who gets YOUR vote...
