The Volume Encryption feature in OpenStack presents a normal block storage device to the VM but encrypts the data in the virtualization host before writing to a remote disk. This provides data confidentiality against network traffic interception, compromised storage hosts, and stolen disk drives. To the end user, the block server operates exactly as it would when reading and writing unencrypted blocks. It includes a key manager interface that supports key generation and storage, and the interface allows different key managers to be supported such as Barbican or a KMIP server. This session will be split into two parts, the first covering the set up of the Barbican key management service and the second covering the configuration and use of Cinder and Nova to provide encrypted block storage.

Inflammation and resultant pain in the joints are usually the basic tenets of Arthritis. This joint disorder can be painful and often, a debilitating one. It can also make the joints stiff. There are many ways of dealing with this problem, but with Ayurveda, one can get to the root cause of the ailment and its presence. This helps in taking a well rounded holistic approach towards treating it with ancient know how that revolves around herbs and other natural substances which have great medicinal value, lifestyle changes, diet, exercise and Yoga, oil massages, and other methods. Arthritis is known as Sandhivata in Ayurvedic jargon.
Read on to find out how Ayurveda can help in dealing with Arthritis.
- Herbs: One can make use of various herbs that contain Linoleic Acid to help in providing lubrication to the joints so as to prevent pain and stiffness. These herbs include Borage seed oil which is extracted from Borage seed, Evening Primrose oil, Blackcurrant seed oil, Capsaicin, Curcumin, Feverfew, Flaxseed oil and a standard Ayurvedic concoction that combines Ashwagandha, Gugulla, ginger, cumin and haldi or turmeric. These substances can help in treating the joints that are suffering from the pain of Arthritis.
- Diet: In Ayurveda, to treat ailments like Arthritis, it is usually recommended that a patient should start by flushing out the body toxins from within. Diet is one of the ways in which this can be done. A detoxification diet to clean the colon would be one of the foremost ways of doing a cleanse. Further, in one's daily diet, there should be a good dose of vegetables, fruits and other juices. Also, one must have plenty of herbs and spices, which can be used to season the food. Curd should generally be avoided and garlic should be used liberally. The various properties that help in an inside out cleanse that will help the system function in a better manner so that the treatment of ailments is also effectively supported.
- Exercise: In Ayurveda, a certain amount of daily exercise, which spans at least 45 minutes to one hour, is a must. A pattern of healthy eating, restful sleep and exercise is what usually helps in treating ailments like Arthritis. For this ailment specifically, light exercise like walking is recommended. Various Yoga asanas that involve sitting, standing, balancing and lying down poses as well as restful poses will also help in treating knee, shoulder and lower back pain specifically. Also, mustard oil massages can help in reducing the pain.
These are the few ways in which Ayurveda can help Arthritis patients live a more normal life with minimal pain.
Knee replacement is a procedure where the weight carrying surface of knee joint is replaced surgically to ease the pain or any disability. People suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis undergo knee replacement. All these conditions revolve around stiffness and painful knee. This surgery is usually performed on people aged over 50.
Surgery Types
Knee replacement is mainly of two main types:
- Total knee replacement where both the sides of knee joints are replaced
- Partial knee replacement where only single side of the joint is replaced
In case of partial knee replacement with minimal invasion, a smaller incision, which is 3 to 5 inches, is required. This leads to minimal tissue damage, and the surgeon can work between the fibres of the quadriceps muscles. Here, an incision through the tendon is not required. This may result in less pain, recovery time is reduced, and motion is better as scar tissue formation is less.
In total knee replacement, four steps are performed:
- Removal of damaged cartilage surfaces, which is at the ends of the femur and tibia, with a small quantity of underlying bone.
- Replacement with metal components, which help as a recreated surface of the joint
- Incision of knee cap with a resurface made of a plastic button, which is optional based on the case
- Insertion of a medical-grade plastic spacer amid the metal components. This creates an effortless gliding surface.
After general or spinal anesthesia, an incision of 8-12inches is made in the front part of the knee. The joint part which is damaged is removed from the surface of the bones. The surfaces are then formed in a way to hold a metal or plastic artificial joint. The thigh bone shin, as well as knee cap, is attached to the artificial joint with either cement or a special material.
After Effects of the Procedure
After the surgery, patients may stay in a hospital for three to five days. Post surgery, notable improvement can be seen after a month or later. The patient is gradually relieved from pain with the construction of new gliding surface during surgery.
There will be slow progress in the movement. In the beginning, one may walk with a support of parallel bars and then with the help of crutches, walker, or cane. After full recovery in about six weeks, people can enjoy normal activities except running or jumping.
Presently, over 90% of total knee replacements function well for 20 to 22 years of surgery. Hence, knee problem is no problem at all!
The Rehabilitation After Total Knee Replacement:
- Full weight-bearing walking, knee bending, exercise next day after surgery
- Commode use, sitting on chair 2nd day
- 3rd day: Stair climbing, start cross leg sitting
- 2 weeks: Suture removal and walking to outdoors
Patients whose knee joints have been damaged by either trauma or progressive arthritis should consider total knee replacement surgery. The post-surgical hospital stay after knee joint replacement is usually three to five days. The surgery has a very high success rate and shows dramatic improvement after a month. This improvement is most notable one month or more after surgery. The pain caused by the damaged joint is reduced significantly when the new gliding surface is constructed during surgery. Initially, the patient will walk with the help of a walking aid until the knee is able to support full body weight. After six weeks, the patient can walk comfortably with minimal assistance. Patients with artificial joints are prescribed to take antibiotics during the course of any elective invasive procedures including dental work. Physiotherapy is an essential part of rehabilitation and it will increase the muscle strength and patient can enjoy most activities, except running and jumping. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Orthopedist.
An ankle sprain can make life miserable. A sudden twist or stretching (due to incorrect walking, incorrect posture, wearing high heels, walking on an uneven and rough surface, exercise, games) can result in ligament(s) tear (partial or complete tear), affecting the ankle. An ankle sprain is often confused with a twisted ankle. However, the two are different as chalk and cheese. A sprained ankle can be extremely painful, taking few weeks to months to heal completely (depending on the severity).
An ankle sprain is independent of age and sex, affecting anyone and everyone under the sun. The symptoms characteristic of an ankle sprain includes:
- The affected region of the ankle may swell up immediately.
- Difficulty in walking. In severe forms, a person may find it difficult to place a step.
- The area appears bruised and tender.
- Excruciating pain and discomfort (severe case).
- Stiffness and, in some cases, discoloration of the skin around the tear.
At no point should the sprain be taken lightly. Seek medical assistance at the earliest. Negligence on your part can aggravate the situation. In extreme cases, an ankle sprain can add to your agony and discomfort, affecting the joints, bones, blood vessels, tendons, and cartilage.
Diagnosis and Treatment:
Accurate diagnosis can make the treatment effective, thus accelerating the recovery process. In case of an ankle sprain;
- Physical examination of the affected area and a thorough case study is an important diagnostic step followed by many doctors.
- X-ray of the affected ankle region can help in a better and more accurate diagnosis.
The course of treatment depends on the extent of the damage. In case of a minor sprain, doctors mostly recommend
- Keeping the affected ankle area bandaged (ACE bandage) and well protected. A crutch or a brace is a blessing for people who face difficulty in walking.
- Time and again, apply a cold compress on the sprained ankle. A cold compress can help reduce the swelling effectively.
- In case of extreme pain and swelling, your doctor may recommend an acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen
- Rest as much as possible. While sleeping, use cushions or pillows to keep the leg elevated.
In rare cases where the sprain refuses to heal and becomes unresponsive to the above treatment, doctors may recommend an Arthroscopy or a Reconstruction surgery.
Precaution and Care:
A little alertness and agility on your part can help to deal with an ankle sprain better.
- In the case of a severe sprain, try and avoid self-medication as much as possible. It can do you more harm than good.
- Exert minimum or no pressure on the affected ankle area.
- Indulge in some strengthening exercise as recommended by your physician. It is advisable that you warm up before any exercise.
- Avoid heavy, strenuous work as much as possible.
- Wearing correct footwear is important. Women who have had an ankle sprain should avoid wearing heel shoes. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Orthopedist.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament or ACL tear is a very common problem with athletes and with people who have an active lifestyle. In fact, this can also be caused by any accident due to sudden movement.
Importance of ACL-
The ACL is the supporting ligament, which runs diagonally from back to front right in the middle of the knee, connecting the femur bone and the tibia, and helps the tibia not to come before the femur. Thus the balance of the knee during back and forth movements and the entire stability of the knee joint is secured by this very important piece of ligament.
What leads to an injury to the ACL?
Here are a few actions that may result in a ligament tear.
Sudden stopping while running or slowing down from a fast speed
Sudden change in direction
Uncontrolled jumping from a height
Direct hitting with an object or person
What happens when the ACL is torn?
If the ACL is torn, the stability of your knee is gone, and you feel as if you have no control over the joint. Moreover, it causes extreme pain and instant swelling. Swelling usually appears within 24 hours of the injury.
Treatment of ACL Injury-
Recovery from an ACL tear is possible only after a surgery. Without surgery, the affected will not be able to return to sports or athletics, or may not be able to run and make swift movements again as before. However, to avoid surgery, there are non-invasive treatments for the aged and people who require moving less.
Non-invasive Treatment: Bracing is one treatment where braces are given to support the knee joint during movement and also to avoid further injury. This is effective for the elderly who need minimum movement and may manage daily activities with a braced knee. Also, crutches add to the support and let the weaker knee get rest. This is followed by physical therapy. But the swelling has to reduce before starting it. Many exercises and controlled movements over a long time help in getting back agility in movement gradually.
- Surgical Treatment: Once the swelling subsides, doctors would plan for an Arthroscopic (Key-Hole Surgery) ACL reconstruction. In this Doctor make a graft of a tendon. This graft is inserted into the joint and fixed in anatomical position in femur and tibia Arthroscopically so that the newly created ACL functions like the natural one. This is the only way to get back the ligament in whole as the torn ligament cannot be stitched. Surgery is done through arthroscope and recovery time is 15 days for resuming day to day activities and 3 to 6 month for resuming sports activities with continued physical therapy after the surgery. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a orthopedist and ask a free question.

Heel pain is a common problem in the body where the affected person experiences pain radiating from the heel bone. Heel pain usually progresses slowly over time, it is recommended to consult a medical professional, if heel pain turns severe. The pain tends to most severe after one has been inactive for some time such as after waking up in the morning.
Heel pain is usually caused when tissues present in the bottom of the heel (Plantar fascia) is damaged. These tissues connect the heel bone with the bones of the feet and help in absorbing shocks. Tears are formed in these tissues when they are damaged or when they get thicker. These tissues are at an increased risk of wear and tear for those who are over 45 years old. The risks also tend to increase if the person is obese or whose occupation requires standing for lengthy periods of time.
Among other causes of heel pain are heel bone fractures, fat pad atrophy (a condition where a layer of fat present under the heel bone is reduced) and bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs present around the joints). Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where damage occurs in the peripheral nerves (that transmits signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body), this can cause pain in the heel.
The symptoms of heel pain include:
- Experiencing pain while jogging or walking
- A feeling of pins pricking the heels after waking up in the morning
- Inability to bend the heel
- Painful swelling
- Pain in the heel accompanied by fever
Prevention and treatment
Heel pain can be prevented by taking certain preventive measures such as restricting usage of high heeled shoes without proper support and stretching the heel regularly. Medications such as painkillers are used to treat symptoms of heel pain. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a physiotherapist.

To every member of the Senate: On the eve of a vote that could decide the fate of the Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA), we ask you to reflect on what is at stake. We remind you that the federal deficit has become both a symbol of government's chronic failu re to achieve its goals and a growing burden on the children whose future you so loudly claim to champion. Your choice could well determine whether America can once again steer a fiscally responsible course.
If one looks back at the history of the federal budget from George Washington through Dwight Eisenhower, and excludes only years of declared war or catastrophic depression, the record is remarkable: 106 years of surpluses and only thirty years of deficits . Since 1960, however, the record has undergone a radical shift: just one year of budget surplus and thirty-six years of budget deficits.
Balancing the budget would transform the role of government. Instead of exacerbating the twin problems of low national savings and slow economic growth, government would help to solve them. Long-term budget balance would raise private living standards. It would also increase the fiscal resources available for pursuing public agendas we cannot now afford.
The BBA is an appropriate and effective means of guaranteeing that today's policy choices do not burden posterity. Balancing the budget is a goal Congress has repeatedly tried to achieve through legislation-- and repeatedly failed to accomplish. It is an outcome the vast majority of the American public manifestly want. It may even be necessary to fulfill our dedication to equal rights-- namely, the equal right of each new generation of citizens to inherit the earth, as Jefferson put it, "clear of the d ebts and encumbrances" of the last.
Nonetheless, many have come forward to criticize the BBA. Some of the critics are sincere, while others fear that a more responsible budget will jeopardize the favorable relationship with government they presently enjoy. Either way, they are propagating a series of myths that purport to explain why the BBA would be bad for America. It's time these myths were laid to rest:
Myth 1: The BBA is unnecessary because the deficit is already under control.
Myth 2: The BBA is a gimmick that Congress can easily evade.
Myth 3: The BBA would invite the courts to meddle in fiscal policy.
Myth 4: The BBA would make recessions worse.
Myth 5: The BBA would prevent future Congresses from responding to national emergencies.
Myth 6: The BBA's cash-accounting framework is arbitrary.
Cash accounting makes no special provision for investment spending, and some critics think this is a big problem. State balanced budget requirements generally exempt capital expenditures. Without a similar exemption, the critics fear, a requirement to run a cash balance would force us to run an accrual-accounting surplus.
But hold on. The federal government allocates a much smaller share of its budget to investment than do the states. In 1996, just 4.5 percent of outlays went to direct tangible investment --and most of this went to defense, where it's unclear how accrual- accounting concepts could be applied. What's left over almost vanishes once depreciation is figured in. Net nondefense investment comes to less than 0.1 percent of the budget, an amount of no relevance to overall fiscal policy.
Critics sometimes object that "investment" should be broadened to include such items as research and education, or even health and social services. This broadening would depart from state usage. And the clear threat it would pose to fiscal discipline (if almost anything could be called an investment) is one reason why Congress has steered clear of capital budgeting.
Advocates of the BBA by no means oppose public investment. But we disagree that cash accounting does much to discourage it. Throughout our history, Americans have done things for the sake of posterity without requiring posterity to pay for them. What's mo re, there is little evidence that cash deficits encourage investment. Deficits have ballooned since the 1960s, but federal investment as a share of GDP has fallen.
There's another item the critics forget. Consistent accrual accounting would force us to acknowledge, on the other side of the federal ledger, a mountain of social insurance liabilities yet to come due. Any plausible method of amortizing this lien on our future (now totaling at least $15 trillion) would reveal our true accrual budget to be deep in the red. In other words, if the BBA weighed liabilities as well as assets, the budget would have to run sizable cash surpluses in order to achieve an accrual-accounting balance. The final policy result would run directly counter to what the critics assume.
Myth 7: The BBA would jeopardize popular programs.
Critics who complain that a functioning BBA would inflict intolerable pain make one wonder if they really want to balance the budget at all. Their complaints are the very reason we need the amendment.
Myth 8: The BBA would trivialize the Constitution.

A group of British teenagers at a Jewish comprehensive school refused to sit at a Shakespeare test because they believe the Bard was an anti-semitic writer. As a result they were stripped of their marks for the English national curriculum test for 14 yer-olds. The girls were supported by their parents and refused to answer questions about Shakespeare or write their names on the top of the paper, even though the play being studied was The Tempest, not The Merchant of Venice. Rabbi Abraham Pinter, the school's principal commented: "I think Shakespeare was reflecting the ethos of the time in his portrayal of Shylock. If he was alive today, he would be probably going on anti-war marches."
As a Jewish chlld who read Shakespeare and even studied The Merchant of Venice in school, I find the actions of the students misguided. Perhaps, someone might inform these young people that in the 20th century when Yiddish theater was alive and vibrant in America, Shakespeare was performed by Jewish actors, and The Merchant of Venice was a well noted successful offering. I assume Shakespeare is performed in Israel. Somehow, their teachers and parents have neglected the education of these children. No other 16th or 17tth century writer delved into the mind of a Jew in the manner of Shakespeare. Yes, he was anti-semitic, but as the school principal notes, he reflected the bigotry of his era. I wonder how those students feel about reading the works of Muslim authors.

International Development major Jaime Sepulveda has traveled throughout Europe, but she's about to embark on a journey to immerse herself in a culture significantly different from her own.
"I'm interested in Southeast Asia," Sepulveda said. "It's a completely foreign culture."
Sepulveda was selected for the Japan Exchange and Teaching program, aimed at promoting grass-roots international exchange between Japan and other nations. She will train in Tokyo and serve a one-year term as an assistant English teacher in the Miyazaki-ken prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan.
Sepulveda's career goals include public policy and becoming a political analyst.
"Participating in the JET Program or any other international experience I pursue will give me a broader perspective on the ways countries interact and view each other," Sepulveda said. "Teaching abroad will also give me insight into education systems that are different from the United States, which will be allow me to broaden my public policy career to also include education policy."
Sepulveda is one of 323 undergraduates and 747 graduate students graduating during the 62nd Commencement Ceremony beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 at Reliant Arena, One Reliant Park. She is part of a legacy family of UST, joining her father, Jaime Sepulveda '75, and her sisters, Yvette Chodrow and Jessica Calleo '02, who also attended the University.
Sepulveda had previously applied to be a Fulbright scholar to teach English in Taiwan, and made it as far as being accepted by the U.S. Fulbright committee. Sepulveda said her interest in Asia began with an independent study with Dr. Hans Stockton, associate professor and director of the Center for International Studies, when she researched the national identity of Taiwan, evaluating how they view themselves compared to how other countries view them.
Stockton said Sepulveda has been an active member of the Center for International Studies and made numerous contributions to the life of the University.
"She has already amassed an impressive resume of service work as part of and separate from her activities as a student at UST," Stockton said. "Her academic performance is impeccable, and she has been an invaluable student leader of the International Studies Society."
"I've enjoyed having the professors I've had, and the relationships I've built with them," Sepulveda said. "They're really good mentors. They all pushed me and helped me believe in myself a lot more."
Sepulveda studied abroad in London in spring 2010, and got a sense of learning about another country's culture, and herself. "Before I went to London, I thought of myself as independent and confident," she said. "Going across the world by myself gave me a new kind of independence and confidence."
Sepulveda held an internship in spring 2011 with the Houston Office of Protocol and International Affairs, which handles the relations between the City of Houston and the Consular Corps, and she attained an ExxonMobil Community Summer Job with the Center for Houston's Future in 2011.
As president of the International Studies Society, Sepulveda plans events like the I-Fest: International Festival, alumni speakers and Taste the World, which includes monthly visits to international restaurants in Houston, such as Ethiopian, Brazilian and Pakistani restaurants.
Last year, Sepulveda was the president of Sigma Iota Rho, the international studies honor society, and recently, she has volunteered with the Partnership for the Advancement and Immersion of Refugees, helping to organize a college day at UST.
"It was an international studies-type of experience here in Houston," she said.
Sepulveda said her experience with internships, campus clubs and volunteering off campus have helped her apply many of the skills she learned at UST.
"Particularly in internships, my ability to do research, write well, and think critically and creatively have helped me succeed," she said. "For being involved on campus and volunteering, the intercultural awareness that I have gained from international studies has helped me be culturally sensitive and get along with people of various backgrounds."
Sepulveda said she is excited about traveling to Japan.
"I feel that learning about other cultures helps you learn about your own culture," she said. "It should definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

I have this keyboard and it types really well and feels great. The problem is the control panel for the sound/media/backlight, as it has some sort of electrical short/malfunction and the backlight/control panel will occasionally not respond. Overall I really like the keyboard though.
I have not really tried to fix the issue, because I am too lazy to take it apart right now for something that trivial (to me), but I understand it is a common problem with these keyboards. On a side note, one of my roommates has had this keyboard for almost 5 years and has had 0 issues with it.

Why does this only show up when I can't buy it for some reason?
Someone made crazy charges with my card number, I'm stuck waiting for a new card.

Fair warning, I'm a keyboard aficionado, and extremely picky. That said, this Razer doesn't even begin to come close to being anything other than flash and fashion.
Save your money and get a good MECHANICAL switch based keyboard. Preferably a CherryMX switch based one. Razer does make some, if you really like Razer.
Your fingers and wrists will thank me, and your speed and accuracy will increase instantly.
If you just need a nightlight, this would suffice. ;-)
Only blue lighting? ehh

If it charged though Paypal, it would be marked on the charges. The bank didn't mention that.
Luckily since it tried to charge a bunch of stuff in like 3 different countries all within 10 minutes, plus most of the charges being more than the check card had on it, it flagged the account and everything was denied except for a donation to the Obama campaign.
spacelunatic wrote:Only blue lighting? ehh
That's my only complaint about this keyboard... that blue light is not eye-friendly.
I want to get another for when this one finally gives out, it's about 3 years old now.
I got one of these from amazon a few years ago. While the initial experience was good (once I got past the troubled driver installation) the keyboard began to accumulate problems. The matte finish on certain keys began to wear away. This is very noticeable thanks to the lighting. Certain keys would register as being stuck in the down position (regardless of the actual position of the key) and at different times keys would not respond at all.
The touchpad controls are more a liability than anything else. The high sensitivity made for a lot of accidental activations.
Not a bad keyboard, but not reliable enough to support the "pro-gamer" image Razer loves to tout.
I bought this keyboard a couple of years ago from woot. Absolutely loved the backlit keys and the feel of the texture, but I had to unplug the keyboard in-game because the keys would freeze. I ended up selling it to a roommate for the forty bucks i bought it. Also, if you're a student and will be expecting to type a whole load, then good luck, the texture on the keys will rub off.
I've since purchased the Logitech illuminated keyboard and have zero complaints on it. Just a suggestion.
I bought one about a year ago and so far it has exceeded expectations. Mine was refurbished (so you may have different results) but every once in a while (once a month) a key will just drop out. Unplugging and replugging the keyboard seems to fix it.
The back lighting is a definite plus and can be turned on and off. However, don't rely on the control panel or Razer's software to do much for you.
It's certainly worth $40, but not a whole lot more.
I've had mine for almost two years now and I can't say as I have any complaints. I'm not as picky as some about mechanical versus digital keyboards. I also didn't have any issues with the software. The keyboard itself has survived two drenchings with sweet tea and nary a problem after drying. The keys haven't worn as much as other say but it may be because I use a nostromo for gaming.
I wouldn't be too upset. I read all the reviews on various gaming sites, and still went ahead and bought one the last time they were offered. Within 3 weeks 2 of the keys stopped responding and another is so mushy it just as well be dead.
Wasn't worth the time, nor the money. Very disappointed, I always trusted the Razer name in the past.

Here are some reviews from Newegg
and CNET:
had the same issue there is an update to the keyboard that can be downloaded for free from razor.com but after about 9 months some of the keys died on me and I had to toss it...same with some of their mouses I loved the Tron mouse then one day after 6 months it just went belly up
pretty annoying keyboard, when it works its ok, the back light toggling is kind of annoying since you have the pointless WASD mode, Random keys also die and you need to unplug and replug it. Sometimes the signal gets stuck mid game so you find yourself walking in one direction without being able to stop until you unplug it.
Important! This keyboard is in no way liquid-proof.
I may have to jump on this. Had one of these before, I may have spilled a crud load of soda on it. The timing of this is opportune.
worst keyboard i have ever owned (purchased from woot about 2 weeks ago)
WASD keys stick terribly (along with a few random others)
the num lock STAYS on.
the backlighting is painfully bright at night, and the keys are invisible during the day if you turn it off.
the 'usb port' is not a usb port, there is a double ended usb wire coming out of the keyboard ... so it uses 2 usb slots (nightmare for a laptop)
overall 3/10

I think they meant you could use Paypal for Woot purchases until your new card comes...
Anyone know where or if I can order replacement keys for this. My little Darling (yes i use that term lightly) decided he was going to show daddy how to take them out. Then he "helped" daddy put it back together by hiding the "a" and "s"....errrr
I just bought one of these from Woot a few weeks ago. My keys were really stiff, and some of them even squeaked. The number pad worked fine, it was just the letters. I noticed the more I typed more dust seemed to come out of it.
I contacted Razer and they did exchange it for me but for a refurbished one. If I hadn't gotten this from Woot for a much lower price I would've put up a fight about that.
They didn't have me send back in my broken one. They asked me to cut the cord off and send them a picture of it. I have hopes the replacement one will work better (hasn't arrived yet). From the little I used it I can say it did make my wrists sore but I'm not sitting at a desk so my keyboard is on my lap a lot of on the arm of the couch.
I bought a refurbed from woot a couple of years ago. It has been working great so far.
I really liked the look and "finger feel" of mine, but like others have said, the keyboard can be glitchy. I had keys either freeze up or drop out. An unplug and replug usually cleared up the problem, but I got a bit tired of it, especially since I never knew how the backlighting would be set when I turned on the computer. It seemed to reset itself at random. I finally dumped the keyboard back in its box and bought a Logitech keyboard with backlit keys. 8 months, and the Logitech has not had a single problem, and seems content to leave the keyboard setting where I put them.
I bought one of these about a year ago, worst keyboard I ever owned. I actually ended up making a video of me smashing it with a baseball bat, lol.
Some keys would randomly stop working, tried it on about 4 different computers. Same thing, after about 5 or 6 minutes all of a sudden, a group of keys wouldn't work. Tried a few different keyboard drivers with no change. Tried to perform the "Board Fix" at the control panel of the keyboard. Still had the same problem.
I paid good money last time around and vowed to never buy razor again.
I bought this keyboard once, just be warned that if you never really use gaming keyboards, the action of the keys is a little weird to get used to. I ended up trying to return it, only to find they only have a 15 day return policy instead of the standard 30. Just a heads up!
I used this product for roughly two years. The matte finish on the keys wore off in a matter of months, the media and backlight keys never worked after the first few weeks no matter what i or razer support did, and a few of the key switches were completely worn out after the first year. Over all, i would not recommend this keyboard. Razer makes great mice, but their other peripherals suck. I bought a corsair vengeance mechanical gaming keyboard recently and am in love.
I've gone through -four- of them in the past three years and every single one has had problems. Please, save your money!
Darn, per my own rules, I'm not buying anything for myself between Dec 1st and Christmas. Hope this is back up at this price then!!
I bought this keyboard 2 years ago when the same deal went up (also on woot).I like the keyboard itself, quiet, pleasant to use, etc, but the problem that started was that several keys would stop working at random, and would be remedied by unplugging/replugging it back in. To stop this from happening at the worst times (say, during my ranked league of legends matches, if the effected keys happened to be any of the QWER), I had to open it up and go through the wiring sheets, gave them a cleaning and reseated the whole thing. No problems from it since.
i can't recomend razer to anyone any more. i've had 3 keyboards and four mice, every one of them developed issues in less than a year, buttons stop registering, or double and triple register....the designs are great, but the quality just isn't there. for 40 bucks this isn't bad, just be aware that it's not a long term investment. (and no i don't keep buying them, they're just nice enough to die inside of microcenters warranty period)
Check out Amazon.com reviews before you buy. There are more 1-star reviews (106) than 4-star or 5-star - not a good sign.
I almost jumped on this without researching, but BEWARE, very suspect reviews.
I have owned two. One I bought December 2011. Feels and looks nice but there are issues with the keyboard where it just dies and becomes unresponsive. I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in.
After about 3 weeks of runaround with their support team where they had me cut the cables and send them a picture they finally sent me a replacement which looked new.
The new unit has the exact same issue.
If you don't mind unplugging the keyboard occasionally and having unresponsive controls for back lighting then this keyboard is for you. It feels great and looks great too.
Definitely not worth the price.
I told them the second one did the same thing and there was no response.
I have had mine for a about a year or so. Bought it at BestBuy since I had some credits.
Felt great, but this is noisy so if you are gaming you gotta be aware.
If you aren't gaming, keys will often drop out and not register. I am looking for a new keyboard as I type and it will not be a razer.
I will add my comments as well. I bought this keyboard the last time Woot had them a few weeks ago.
I was worried given a lot of bad reviews, but so far it's been good 99% of the time.
Some people reported it will sometimes set your volume at full blast. I've not had that happen.
Some people report the keyboard often stops responding and you have to pull USB out and plug back in. I've only had "something" happen once. In game I was stuck running forward.. I couldn't do anything but power off computer and back on.
I have not installed Razer software. I only wanted this keyboard because of lighting. No other features matter to me. Lighting works great. It has two settings.. well three... off, WASD only, or all keys. Only blue color. No big deal to me.
They keys take a little getting used to. They're as bit tighter pressing than others. The enter key and \ key on mine were kind of "stuck" when I got it.. but so far not that much of a bother. I never use \ anyway and that's the worst one.
So, if you have issues with this keyboard know that Razer will not help. They will say go back to where you bought it. Woot will gladly refund your money or exchange it if they have any left after the sale or if they get them in again.
I have had mine for about 4 years now. I have had none of the problems listed above. My only complaint is the low contrast lettering which makes the lettering invisible in certain lighting, especially if the sun shines on the keys. This is solved every time by adjusting my analog blinds.
"Keys would appear to become 'stuck' and repeat for no apparent reason, or the complete opposite, keys would not repeat at all if you held them down."
Common reported problem when purchasing this keyboard. I have it, and when this happens I have to unplug and replug to have the key(s) respond again.
Don't waste your money. Too unreliable to be used for gaming. My experience, as the other comments indicate, are far from unusual.
All you need is a Logitech K120 (under $10 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-002478-Keyboard-K120/dp/B003ELVLKU). I one almost exclusively for gaming and it works flawlessly. Inexpensive USB lights are available if you must have a light on your keyboard and no other lights.

Citation: Wei Pridgeon, Y., Klesius, P.H., Aksoy, M.Y. 2013. Attempt to develop live attenuated bacterial vaccines by selecting resistance to gossypol, proflavine hemisulfate, novobiocin, or ciprofloxacin. Vaccine. 31:2222-2230. Interpretive Summary: To develop attenuated bacteria vaccines, four chemicals (gossypol, proflavine, hemisulfate, novobiocin, and ciprofloxacin) were used to modify 38 bacteria isolates. Gossypol failed to attenuate any bacteria. Proflavine hemisulfate was able to attenuate bacteria, but failed to provide significant protection to fish. Novobiocin and ciprofloxacin were able to attenuate some Gram-positive bacteria, but resistant bacteria failed to offer protection higher than 70%. Novobiocin and ciprofloxacin were able to attenuate some Gram-negative bacteria, but only one (novobiocin-resistant Edwardsiella tarda 30305) was relatively safe and highly efficacious.
Technical Abstract: In an attempt to develop attenuated bacteria as potential live vaccines, four chemicals (gossypol, proflavine hemisulfate, novobiocin, and ciprofloxacin) were used to modify the following four genera of bacteria through chemical-resistance strategy: 1) Aeromonas hydrophila (9 isolates); 2) Edwardsiella tarda (9 isolates); 3) Streptococcus iniae (9 isolates); and 4) S. agalactiae (11 isolates). All bacteria used in this study were able to develop high resistance to gossypol. However, only some bacteria were able to develop resistance to proflavine hemisulfate, novobiocin, or ciprofloxacin. When the virulence of resistant bacteria was tested in tilapia or catfish, none of the gossypol-resistant isolate was attenuated, whereas majority of the proflavine hemisulfate-resistant isolates were attenuated. However, all proflavine hemisulfate-attenuated bacteria failed to provide significant protection to fish. Eight novobiocin- or ciprofloxacin- resistant Gram-positive bacteria (S. agalactiae and S. iniae) were found to be attenuated. However, none of them offered protection higher than 70%. Of seven attenuated novobiocin- or ciprofloxacin- resistant Gram-negative isolates (A. hydrophila and E. tarda), only one (novobiocin-resistant E. tarda 30305) was found to relatively safe and highly efficacious. When E. tarda 30305-novo vaccinated Nile tilapia were challenged by its virulent E. tarda 30305, relative percent of survival of vaccinated fish at 14- and 28- days post vaccination (dpv) was 100% and 92%, respectively. Similarly, E. tarda 30305-novo offered 100% protection to channel catfish against challenges with virulent parent isolate E. tarda 30305 at both 14- and 28- dpv. Our results suggest that the development of live attenuated bacterial vaccines that are safe and efficacious is challenging, although it is feasible.

Got the small cell, new packages to shake onto it, and the finmans terrarium heaters to grow them up fast. Got the oxalic for the existing colonys and the crack pipe contraption to vaporize it. Got my control colony with no treatments since I got them.(they are doing fine with no sign of PMS) We gonna have some fun this year with several trials going at once. Might even make some honey

"I have seen a lot of [shots] go to the corner flags or over the goals, so it's nice to see one that finally goes into the goal."
-- D.C. United midfielder Joe

shots on goal in his previous 32 MLS games before connecting on Saturday. (Washington Post).

It is my understanding that it is a blowback design - so it will actually have as much recoil as a 9mm, or maybe more. I was tempted to get one for a while, but changed my mind.
My lady has expressed a desire to learn handguns and aquire one. As a die hard Sig fan I automatically thought of the P232. I've never held, fired or owned one though.
Anyone have any experience they'd like to share?
It is my understanding that it is a blowback design - so it will actually have as much recoil as a 9mm, or maybe more. I was tempted to get one for a while, but changed my mind.
My wife carries one. It is one of few guns that fit her smaller hands. She can also carry it easier than most. It has never malfunctioned once, but again it is a Sig. She likes it a lot. Yeah, the recoil is kinda like the 9mm but it's not that bad. The only thing I don't care for is that the mag's don't drop free. Other than that it is a great gun. I would suggest getting one.
Don't know what your price range is but you might want to look at the Bersa Thunder .380 or the Bersa Compact Carry .380. The gentlemen over at gunblast.com gave both great reviews.
Here is the link for the Bersa Thunder .380 review...
Here is the link for the Bersa Compact Carry .380 review....
I hope those help!
I was in the process of buying one (a Bersa 380) last Nov at a gun show. After they cut that safety strap and I was filling out the paperwork, I tried the trigger, and it was terrible. Lots of creep and a bit wiggly. The one I wanted was in the best condition of the 3 (they were all new, but the other two was a bit marked up). So, I decided not to get it.
Others online have said that this was unsual and that the triggers are usually very good. So, guess it was one of the few bad ones. Not sure... Just my experience.

I see little point in a .380 the size of the P232. A Kahr 9mm, for example, is the same size or smaller, kicks about the same, and hits harder.
Agreed, as far as the impact of a 9mm over a 380. My problem with the Kahr, and this is strictly personal, not condemnational, was that I could not hit the floor with the PM9.
The PM9 was a well made gun that ergonomically did not work for me. Now, Federal 380 Hydroshock will do the job.
The P232 is not my primary carry. For that, I use my SP2022 loaded with 15 rounds of Ranger Talon 147. I just like the 232 that is really all that it came down to for me. If the Kahr worked for me I would have had it instaed.

The parts that bug me the most are
"where talent is asked to sit on the sidelines so everyone can get a shot at the lime light, and where most people can vote more than once"
I do not know which is more shameful than the other.
As an artist, the term "better fit" is more offensive than this shirt. Shame on you. Shame on you.

Very nice. I especially love the detail on the face. I can't figure out why this isn't in the fog yet.

Re: Canadian Can-Can
This is a cute, simple, well done design. I like how you've effectively spot-lighted the dancers, probably do to your color choice. A little background shadow of the dancers would possibly help it appear less flat, but I'm no artist. Good luck! This should climb with more exposure. (signature link)

I removed the "N" and made the whole thing bigger on the shirt, and also changed up the northern lights a bit. It's going to be nearly impossible to get even near the "fog of war" at this point, but I think that better design is worth losing some ground on!
Nice change-up. I like this much better.
mihalis aya wrote:Are our states not part of our country? I guarentee you people would do things like the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge if we had a US theme, which are both state-rooted as well. Fireweed doesn't grow exclusively in the Yukon, as pointed out. It is a cold-weather flower that thrives in a lot of Canada. But it is the official flower of the Yukon, which has a symbolic, great white north sort of feeling for a lot of people.
I tend to interpret the theme given in an unusual way. Sometimes that works out--Innovation, and now this. Sometimes it doesn't. But I stand firm that, just because I've approached the theme from a different place than most of the other entries, doesn't mean my interpretation is invalid and should be rejected. If you have concerns, please hit the tattle button instead.
good lord....why does everyone get so defensive if anyone questions something? I didn't hit the tattle button, just expressed my opinion that this was a stretch, an opinion i'm not alone in. I didn't say it was terrible, i said I didn't think it will make it past the rejectionator, or that - IN MY OPINION - it should. You needn't be so dang sensitive about it.

Funny you should mention that... I was talking this over with another shirt designer and was enlightened to the fact that you can create your own brushes in photoshop. I didn't use it in my entry, but now I know that it's possible it will come in handy in future designs.

I did the jacket, face drawing, and midtone shading.
The face was Cho's work. He's very meticulous with the details.

Men, are you going to let flowers dominate the fog?
I know you are out there, you geeks.
Men, aged approximately 27 - 40 years old who played this most wonderful game with your older brother who never let you be the Allies, but you beat him anyways by berserking across Russia to take Caucus, The Oil Fields and eventually Moscow.
You know you love it.
Even now, you are being whisked away into visions of that 'one time' of rolling snake eyes with your infantry men over and over against your opponent's expensive fighters or bomber planes to take the key piece of land that would let your tanks berserk through to the capitol.
Zoink, you just took over an industrial complex. Time to start laying down the law, and putting reinforcements down one by one, so they could never take it back.
Victory was yours back then, over your mean spiteful brother. So what, if he took the board throwing it up in the air with the game pieces and annihilating the game before you could finally take over, he knew you had won, you knew you had won.
You are a winner boy. Wear this shirt, and show up to the family get together, point to your chest and say remember this? And put a fist to his face for all those times he lorded over you like you did that one time on Axis and Allies.
If the derby theme were Australia and those were Risk pieces this would totally fit the theme. As it is, I don't think Canada's critical to Axis & Allies. I could be wrong. ^_^

no i agree... canada was totally useless in A&A. thats part of the joke. anyones who's played knows those three pieces just usually sit there, for the whole duration.
which, im not a history major, but would assume that was what happened.

Upon searching, Canada has an entire website devoted to it. And apparently everyone forgets Canada.

I think Blu is referring to the fact that when people like Cho and Gentry are getting votes, often posters chime in that the only reason they are getting votes is because they are popular. Sometimes there's a bit of a pile-on and the vote totals either freeze or start to tumble.
I think it's more about supposed popularity than actual popularity- at this point, I think most of us forum people know that the voters are an unpredictable, fickle mass who mostly don't read the comments or the forums. You can go from being a winner to being lucky to hit 100 votes in a matter of a week, that wuz teh funneh. Derby magic!

I don't think my reply was particularly 'sensitive' or 'defensive', though I'll admit you have me mildly annoyed right now. Your own reply showed far more emotion about it than I think mine did. What I did do was calmly explain why I think my entry is valid, addressing your original points.
I suggested using the tattle button because that is the appropriate place for these matters. The tattle button was created to try to take the accusations of ripped off, off topic, and otherwise inappropriate from the derby thread(s), with the added bonus of allowing the woot gods to make sure they know about every little complaint. Frankly, I'm just sick, as a member, buyer, and designer, of seeing these comments in the threads themselves. You may not be alone in your opinion about my shirt, but you are the one who actually expressed it, so it was to you I addressed my reply. It is disengenious of you to get annoyed when I offer a rebuttal of your critique, as if I have no compelling reason or right to defend my work. Rest assured, I will not waste my time in the future. Thank you and have a lovely day.
Edit: I meant to say, and will add now, that an honest critique would be fine. Don't like the colour, the style, the design itself? I'm okay with any and all of that in a thread. Tips to improve, suggestions for next time are even better. It is only the comments which should be using the tattle function instead which bother me. I would actually like getting more comments from people who don't like it, if they are constructive. The 'beautiful!' type are good for my ego, but not good for me to improve my skills.

If someone stares at my chest to read the shirt, more power to them. If a design is distorted on your T-shirt, you really should consider getting a shirt that actually fits, i.e., a larger size. Far too many women are wearing clothes that are too tight as it is.
I second this. At this very moment, I'm wearing my Do the Math t-shirt which I know people are going to have to take a minute to read, if they care - and yes, my gifted bewbs will be right there in the thick of things. But that's the choice I made when I bought the shirt. By this point in my life, I'm pretty used to people staring - at least this way they can have a good excuse (and get a good chuckle out of it).
And I LOOOOOOVE this design. I really hope it makes it
sigaru wrote:hm...the only thing that i suggest is that it say "canadian periodic table" on the shirt, because the only reason i might not buy this is because i feel like i'd have to explain it to everyone. i strongly suggest a periodic table title.
EDIT: and after re-reading the ridiculous argument in fable's "devil went down to georgia" shirt design from the last derby, and not wanting to sound at ALL like ctravers, i feel the need to add this: i'm only saying this because it wouldn't make any sense at all [in my opinion]--even abstractly--if i were to wear it in public, and i don't think it would take away from the design by adding the title [as most periodic tables have], but add to it. but it's still your option, and you don't need to. my vote's still there.
Wow the tables have turned have they not, Sigaru. I have to say I agree with you though. Everyone will know that its a periodic table, but not that it is a Canadian periodic table. Also, the font is very small so they may not be able to read the full elements to figure it out.
EDIT: I guess that I'll just have to take comfort in the fact that, in all likeliness, you will never be able to buy the devil went down to Georgia shirt. I'm gonna guess it landed itself in 4th (as it was bouncing in and out of the fog right before closing). Should have had Georgia in it ......
The Dutch Queen lived in Canada during WWII., so they provided lodging.
Canada also provided many soldiers to fight the German Axis forces in Europe, particularly at the Battle of Dieppe. One of the big scandals in Canada a few years ago happened when someone erected a statue of DeGaulle. The WWII vets got mad since they actually fought in the war, while DeGaulle hung out in London.
