Miva Storefront....
I have been looking at some sites that have used miva and they look very limited and canned. Since I am about to start an ecommerce site I would like to know if anyone here has used Miva and their honest experience with it? I would like to know if it is really as flexible as they say or is there some limitiations I should really be aware of before i buy a hosting package that includes Miva.
If anyone here has a better ecommerce package that I can use please feel free to suggest them also.
Thank You

Actually I am working on a shopping cart myself. But it won't be finished soon since I have some other projects I need to take care of first.
Have you tried looking at and testing the demo at http://www.miva.com/ ? Might give you an idea of what it has, can do and if it has what you need.(SH)Saeed

Eastern Health is advising the public that visitor restrictions recently implemented at the Placentia Health Centre/Lions Manor Nursing Home due to an increase in gastrointestinal illness have now been lifted.
But, considering respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses continue to be common in the community this time of year, the public is asked not to visit any health-care facility if they feel ill or are experiencing flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms.
Eastern Health says, for infection prevention, the public is advised to wash their hands frequently, cover their coughs or sneezes with a tissue or the crook of their arms and refrain from touching their faces.
A list of facilities currently restricted to visitors, can be found on Eastern Health's website at www.easternhealth.ca.

Committee adopts parts of DOT deficit plan
Roads fund faces $63.5M deficit
The Legislature's budget committee has adopted parts of the state Department of Transportation's plan to close a $63.5 million deficit in the state's roads fund.
The DOT's proposal would revise Gov. Scott Walker's executive budget to delay segments of Milwaukee-area freeway reconstruction, cut funding for highway projects and cut local road aids.
The Republican-controlled committee worked around the edges of the deficit Tuesday, adopting parts of DOT's plan that call for reducing funding for congestion mitigation and scaling back the state's contract with Amtrak to run a Milwaukee-to-Chicago passenger rail line to reflect cost re-estimates.
The committee also deleted budget provisions that would have added nearly 30 more State Patrol inspectors and safety investigators.
Committee leaders say they'll deal with the rest of the shortfall in the coming weeks.

LOS ANGELES — Can the Rangers send the Stanley Cup Final to a sixth game in New York? They are only the seventh team to avoid a four-game sweep when trailing, 3-0.
The Devils, who trailed the Los Angeles Kings, 3-0, did it in 2012.
Here is the breakdown on teams facing a 3-0 series deficit in the Stanley Cup Final:
Lost in 4 games: 20 times.
Lost in 5 games: Three times.
Lost in 6 games: Once. Devils in 2012 vs. Kings.
Lost in 7 Games: Once. Red Wings in 1945 vs. Maple Leafs.
Won in 7 Games: Once. Maple Leafs in 1942 vs. Red Wings.
Other tidbits:
Teams with a chance to win the Stanley Cup on home ice are 41-20 (.672) since the best-of-seven format was introduced in 1939, but just 7-8 (.467) since 2000.
The Stanley Cup has been clinched on the road in five of the past six seasons. The only home team to win the Stanley Cup in that span: The 2012 Kings.
The Rangers are 11-2 in their last 13 postseason games when facing elimination (dating to Game 6 of the 2012 conference quarterfinals in Ottawa), including a 5-0 mark in the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs. Henrik Lundqvist has started all 13 of those games, posting a 1.30 goals-against average, .959 save percentage and two shutouts.
Lundqvist is 5-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and .971 save percentage when the Rangers have faced elimination this postseason (168 saves on 173 shots). He has allowed one goal in each of those contests: Game 7 of the first round vs. Philadelphia; Games 5, 6 and 7 of the second round vs. Pittsburgh; and Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final vs. Los Angeles.
The Kings have won 16 of their last 21 home playoff games, including five of their past six, dating to June 11, 2012, when they clinched the Stanley Cup against the Devils.

Rhinoplasty combined with septoplasty Follow this procedure 7144 followers
Hi, a relative of mine needs a septoplasty with turbinate reducation. He wanted to have it combined with rhinoplasty. Though septoplasty would be covered by medical insurance, the rhinoplasty cost is too high in our home country. May be it is going to be cheaper to have both surgeries done in Czech Republic, even if he has to pay for both out of his pocket?
I would like to get an estimate for the time and money. Also, if he has septoplasty done at home, how soon he can have a rhinoplasty abroad afterwords?

Good afternoon,
it is possible to combine septoplasty with rinoplasty, but depend on deformity of septum or nose. Sometimes it is not very good to operate this ones together. The price in our medical center is 16 000,- Kč for septoplasty and 25 000,-Kč for rinoplasty.

it would be great if you could send us your pictures. Then we will be able to say something more.
Cost of the operation is about 9000zł
Your sincerly,
dr J.Chęciński
Dr. Vidura,
Thanks for the answer.
If he does septoplasty separately, how soon after that he can do the rhinoplasty?
Also, what type of anesthesia do you use for rhinoplasty, and how long he will have to stay under your observation before flying back home?

Dear friend,
septorhinoplasty is a treatment of choise in such an situation and it is definetly better to perform such surgery as a single step procedure. First, it saves body from repeated anesthesia and surgery and second it saves patient's money. Is is much better if the septorihinoplasty is performend by one experienced nasal surgeon. The price list can be found at XXXXXXXXXXXX. In case of any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at +XXXXXXXXXXXX. Best regards,

Good morning,
if you and your surgeon will decide to operate separately, you can undergo rinoplasty after cca 4-6 months. You must stay after surgery about 1 day in the hospital, and stay for control first week, than you can departure and visit the physician at home. Both procedures are under general anesthesia.

We can offer your relative, to make both treatments-septoplasty and turbinate reducation in one operation session. The other option is, to do the septoplasty at home and after approximately 6-12 month to do the rhinoplasty with us. In both cases you have to consider 1-2 days to stay in the hospital. Both procedures are under general anesthesia. The first after operation check up will take place 7 days after the operation (latest then you can fly home). To give you an precise price estimation, please send us the pictures of your nose (both anfas and from the profile). We can offer you an operation date in October.
In case of any questions, please feel free to contact us.

BAY CITY, MI — A Bay County judge has ruled that two brothers accused of illegally operating a medical marijuana dispensary will stand trial, despite a defense attorney's request to have the charges dismissed.
Prosecutors allege Johnnie V. Randall, 34, and Corey R. Randall, 32, while operating Beacon of Light Compassion Center, 100 N. Catherine St. in Bay City, illegally dispensed marijuana to a confidential informant and an undercover police officer with the Bay Area Narcotics Enforcement Team (BAYANET) in September 2011. Their attorney, Edward M. Czuprynski, in May filed a motion arguing for the cases against the brothers to be dismissed, on the grounds that medical marijuana dispensaries and patient-to-patient exchanges of the substance weren't illegal until a February 2013 ruling by the Michigan Supreme Court.
Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran in a ruling date Friday, Sept. 6, disagreed, however, and denied Czuprynski's motion to drop the brothers' cases.
Johnnie Randall is a registered patient and caregiver, while Corey Randall is only registered as a patient, court records show.
"At the time of the first purchases, the confidential informant displayed a valid qualified patient card, and the undercover officer displayed a bogus application for a medical marijuana card," Sheeran's ruling reads. "Both were allowed to sign up for a free membership to the Center. Neither the informant nor the officer had any designated primary caregiver, and no one associated with the Center was ever registered as a caregiver for either of the two. Both Defendants were present for these sales."
Sheeran went on to say that Czuprynski's interpretation of the Supreme Court's ruling on the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act was misguided.
"The (Supreme) Court did not change the MMMA; it interpreted it and found that the statute was clear," Sheeran stated in his ruling. "Specifically the … Court held that transfers can only be made under the MMMA if there is a connection between the primary caregiver and qualifying patient through the State registry program."
The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act states licensed medical marijuana patients may cultivate up to 12 plants yielding 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana for their own use and, if they're caregivers, up to 60 plants for five patients registered to them. Patients may legally compensate their caregivers for time and resources spent cultivating the crop.
Sheeran also denied another motion filed by Czuprynski, that the Randalls could assert an affirmative defense that any exchanged marijuana was for medical purposes.
"Although both Defendants had patient cards, the transfers made to the confidential informant and undercover officer in this case were not for the purpose of alleviating Defendants' own debilitating medical condition(s) or symptoms associated with Defendants' debilitating medical condition(s)," the judge's ruling states.
The Randalls are each charged with six counts of delivering or manufacturing marijuana and two counts of maintaining a drug house. A former employee of theirs, Joshua J. Perry, is also charged with two counts of delivering or manufacturing marijuana.
The charges against the trio resulted from an undercover operation by BAYANET. Tonya Laubscher, a Midland police officer working with BAYANET, previously testified she posed as a medical marijuana patient with an alias driver's license and fake doctor's certification when she entered the shop on Sept. 26, 2011, and purchased a gram of marijuana for less than $20. Perry handed Laubscher the substance, she said.
BAYANET raided the shop about a month before Laubscher's undercover purchase and again the day after she reportedly obtained the marijuana.
The Randalls are scheduled for trial before Sheeran on Tuesday, Oct. 22. In his ruling, Sheeran stated the Randalls could appeal his decision prior to the trial date.
Czuprynski said he plans on filing such an appeal.
"I'm confident that we will ultimately prevail," Czuprynski said. "It's a very wide open issue."

Hi Rich, I have a four element SteppIR and am very pleased. I replaced a well designed 10 element triband yagi - Bencher Skyhawk (which by the way is still for sale - $300 in excellent condition). The SteppIR is a four element monobander on all frequencies. The element lengths are adjusted to make an optimized 4 element design anywhere from 13.5 to 30 Mhz (it will do 6 meters as basically a dipole if you want). Look at the yagi design equations and you will see that boom length is not critical when you do not need to consider bandwidth. A log periodic antenna is a compromise in order to cover a wide frequency range while providing an acceptable SWR in the ham bands. It takes many more elements to produce the same gain as a monoband yagi. There is always some interaction between elements which further reduces the performance of the log periodic. According to Cushcraft their 8 element log periodic is 0.4 dBi better than a 2 element center loaded yagi. Lots of unused aluminum. Not much performance. Government, commercial and military customers will replace their log periodic antennas with the SteppIR as soon as they learn about the performance improvement. Covering all frequencies at higher gain at each frequency with four elements and low SWR instead of 20 elements is a good deal both cost and performance. Stacking monobanders: Let's say we want to stack 3 each four element monobanders for 20, 15 and 10 meters. Before the SteppIR that would require 9 antennas and possibly several towers. Stack three each four element SteppIRs and you get the same performance with a much lower cost. Three SteppIRs will cost approximately $5,100 while 9 monobanders will be about $7 200 or more. I have used the SteppIR in several contests and it is wonderful. The SteppIR changes frequency by listening to the logging program ask the transceiver for the current frequency. No mistakes of transmitting on the wrong monobander and tripping the amp. Never made so many contacts with such ease with bad band conditions. The antenna is only up 48 feet - local restrictions. After 50 years of hamming I finally was able to put together a good station - Ten Tec Orion, Alpha 87A and the 4 element SteppIR. Now if I only had the body of 30 years ago I would be able to do very well in contests. HI The C3S is a very good antenna but it is still only a 2 element yagi. The SteppIR design has the same performance advantages as the Force12 designs - no traps plus it has the advantage of no extra aluminum to detract from performance. The SteppIR design concept delivers the highest efficiency currently available. Their attention to high performance is evident when you look at their matching system. Most antenna manufacturers use a single balun to match the driven element balanced load. The SteppIR antenna is designed to have a feed point impedance of approximately 22+/-j0 ohms on all frequencies and then use a balun plus a unun to get to 50 ohm load impedance 22 ohm balanced to 22 ohm unbalanced with the balun and then 22 ohm unbalanced to 50 ohm unbalanced with the unun. Needless to say I am impressed with the many aspects of the SteppIR design. There are other important aspects of the design but they do not apply to the performance of the antenna. If anyone is interested, send me an e-mail and we can discuss. I have no connection with Fluid Motion or the SteppIR but I wish I did. Tom, W7QF -------Original Message------- From: RCARIELLO Date: 06/21/04 10:45:18 To: FCG; Towertalk Subject: [FCG] HF LOG-PERIODIC ANTENNAS Comments Please Hello to all, I am wondering if a stack of three Log-Periodic Antennas is the way to go. At best my single tower station will have three Tri-Banders on it. Possibly a Force12 C3S around 90-60-30 feet. I have been seeing allot of talk about the Stepper Antenna Systems. >From what I am reading, the big advantage in this type of antenna seems to be the antenna tuning to the frequency of use. In the past I have heard negative comments that a Log-Periodic has allot of aluminum not being used. These remarks may be true when compared to Mono-Band antennas but is it true when compared to tri-banders. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the performance of Log-Periodic antennas as compared to a Tri-Banders. Is this the type of antenna to use for contest operations. TENNADTNE ANTENNAS Any comments on the performance and quality of these antennas. I am considering models: T6---12 foot boom---6 elements T8---18 foot boom---8 elements I understand both these models can be side mounded on my tower. Thanks for your help.

Metal Monday: The White Trash Metal Brigade Are Back In Full Effect
Norway's Shot At Dawn have been shredding up and down the OurStage metal charts for a handful of years now. From the release of their 2008 EP Pre Bellum to 2010's Seize The Night EP and now White Trash Metal Brigade, Shot At Dawn have stayed true to the things that helped them become a band in the first place: high fives and good times. Don't believe them? Well, the band's "about" section on Facebook simply reads "Stage dives and high fives! We rule!" That enough evidence for you?
Metal Monday: The Oslo Metal Scene, with Shot At Dawn
Residents of Norway, purveyors of the high five, all around awesome dudes; readers meet Shot at Dawn. In addition to winning the OurStage Metal Channel last January with their song "In Hoc Signo Vinces," the group has been destroying venues around Norway. We wanted some feedback on the Oslo/Norway metal scene" where it was, and where it's headed" from a band who is in the thick of it. Here's what they had to say:
A good breakdown hits you like a punch to the chest (one you'll ideally enjoy), and switches the pace and mood of a song for a small amount of time. At a show, these breakdowns are the moments when the crowd erupts, where awe and enthusiasm literally explodes before the stage. Over the last couple of years metal breakdowns have been hitting the scene in a big way. The technique is still under fire by the community at large (many metalheads are still clutching to the old ways). Sometimes breakdowns can ruin a perfectly good death metal song. At other times, a breakdown can make the song. For example, the breakdowns in Job For A Cowboy's Entombment of a Machine are by far the best parts of the song. And bands like All Shall Perish execute deathcore flawlessly, incorporating excess amounts of shredding with their breakdowns.
This playlist features songs involving breakdowns in all capacities. Some songs are comprised almost entirely of breakdowns. Others only have one breakdown. If you're looking to bust some heads in a mosh pit or not, all these songs rip. Give them a listen.

Police and Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force members say they were able to make undercover purchases of crack cocaine from Hawkins during a nine-month investigation. Officers located Hawkins as he entered a parking lot and took him into custody without incident. He is being held without bail at Dunkirk City Jail pending arraignment in Dunkirk City Court. Agents from the New York State Division of Parole assisted in the investigation and additional charges may be pending for violation of parole.

Old Westminster Winery found a couple of spots on the list of Governor's Cup award-winners that was released Wednesday, drawing a silver for its 2012 chardonnay and a bronze for its 2011 cabernet franc.
Drew Baker, one of the three siblings running one of Maryland's newest wineries, said by phone a couple of weeks ago that no two days have been alike since they put this business plan into action.
"Between the three of us, we wear a lot of hats," he said, "from planning events to making sure weekends at the winery go smoothly, to handling sales and managing relationships with retail shops and restaurants, to getting our name out there, to really controlling quality in the vineyard and in the winery. So, depending on the time of year, I would say that our duties vary wildly. That's not unique to wine, it's just the nature of start-ups. You get out what you put in."
I asked Drew, who runs the winery with sister Lisa Baker and Ashli Johnson, about obstacles they envision over the next six months to a year. The biggest, he responded, is to develop a tasting-room experience.
"Now, we're doing our tastings on our patio, and when the weather cooperates people really enjoy it," he said. "But the problem is, and it's a good one, is we've been busting at the seams. Honestly, we don't have the capacity for the amount of people who have been coming. So, essentially, what's going to be important for us to do is figure out how we're going to make a step that makes financial sense into a new tasting room, because that's something we're going to need sooner rather than later.
"We've got a ton of ideas, but we haven't nailed down a plan yet."
Baker noted that wines are available at a number of regional wine shops and restaurants. Visitors to the winery web site can find that list.
Old Westminster's wine list is strictly dry, from cab franc to a red blend called Channery Hill to white classics chardonnay and albarino. They recently released a sauvignon blanc and will release another red blend called Cornerstone in September and a Blanc de Blancs they plan to have available in time for the holidays. In all, they'll have seven wines for sale by the end of 2013.
"We wanted to hit the market with four or five French-inspired wines and then, every couple months, you release something new to keep people interested," he said. As or the fact that none has residual sugar, he added, "I'm a firm believer that you can't be all things to all people, but the worst thing you can do is try and really lose everyone. The trick is to really figure out who your customer is and cater to them."

Brandon Spangler was playing paintball in rural Indiana on Dec. 30 when he was shot and killed by a property owner, Jason Bagley, 41, of Shelbyville, who apparently thought he was shooting at coyotes in a wooded area.
Angela Goldman, Indiana conservation officer for the DNR, said Spangler's death is considered an hunting incident so the DNR is in charge of the investigation.Officers are in the process of collecting all the information of what happened that Friday before taking a final report to the Shelby County prosecutor's office to see what or if criminal charges will be filed against Bagley.
"We're kind of in that holding pattern right now. The officers are doing their interviews and doing what they do," Goldman said of the investigation. "These things just take some time. There's no need to rush, nothing changing."
Goldman hopes to have the completed report to the prosecutor by next week, but there are never any guarantees, she said.
Spangler, a senior at Flushing High School, was visiting his father in Indiana when the incident took place.
Goldman said an incident like this one is pretty unusual.
"We don't get many of these. What makes it unusual is the irresponsible gun handling," Goldman said. "The guy thought he saw something and shot without properly identifying his target. That is the meat of the case."

acai berries are very much popular among those who want to loose weight.
To begin with, I HAAATE all black keybords and now i write on a old Key Tronic ergoforce keybord that love. Only bad thing with this is that it's old so the buttons don't any lights.
My dream keybord should be almost white, got keys that you press far down as on my about 10 year old Key Tronic (since e really really hate that shitty laptop-feeling many of todays keybords give you) and have blue lights to show what key it is.
that love = that I love
don't any = don't have any
e = I
I love my keyboard. Its not a gaming keyboard or anything and actually cost around £6 online, but it's a Mac style keyboard with numeric pad...feels a lot better to me personally for typing and gaming on than the one I had prior (which is in storage) - Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000.
Deck Legend. Without a doubt the best keyboard out there.
All carring Logitech rubber rubbish keyboards???!!
I'm a competitive PC gamer and I own a mechanical Steelseries 7G (cherry blacks) keyboard.
But even if ure not into gaming a mechanical keyboard is a MUST.
Defenetly recomend it over any rubber dome rubbish keyboards.
btw. there's NO real 'gaming' keyboard if it aint mechanical, period.
Razer Tarantula
... great but using the PC in a dark makes you wish for backlit keyboard so changing it to Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition after 28/10/11
ihave an Active PA-KB Keyboard that i bought of a familey friend it has laptop style keys and is wireless came with a mouse but i use a logitech g9 it used to be a nice keyboard but now with keys missing and me making typos because now i have to push the spacebar down hard its a pain its fine for games tho cos i use a Wolfking Warrior key pad lols but i need another keyboard badly
Logitech G11 - rated "It's ok". This applies to any Logitech keyboard. They're all standard keyboards, and then they go and add programmable keys, software that's not unique (but still good), and sometimes an LCD screen or make it wireless. It's USB only which is bad, and has no mechanical switches. They're all overpriced. Luckily I got it for free. My next keyboard will be the Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Rapid, with Cherry MX Black switches.
Bought mine for $6 and I love it, works great! ;)
Being im using a DELL OEM keyboard, it sucks lol. Would like to get my hands on a mechanical keyboard eventually : /
I love my keyboard, I hope it never brakes, I say that because its kind of old but it fits me perfectly, its a Microsoft keyboard that splits in the middle and angles the keys a bit, I can't remember what those kinds of keyboards are called but its what I got, I've had to replace it once, thankfully I was able to get another one, I tried another keyboard like it but you nearly had to have hammers for fingers to get the keys to work.
So I love my keyboard.
Logitech G15 here too, the orange lit one with only 6 G keys for macros... love it!
I had a Merc Z-board keyboard, pretty neat led colored lights, but the board had no dedicated DELETE key. WTF were they thinking? This one had to go away.
I recently replaced my old acer keyboard with a Logitech G110, It's great, love it.
@ First post. I bought a Logitech G110 in June. Thing thing is masterful. Upon further reflection, I feel as though spending the $90 for it wasn't really beneficial to as I'm not a huge macro user, but that does not reduce the worth of this keyboard in the slightest. Just because I don't use some features, it doesn't mean other people won't find the value in having them. The coolest part has to be the somewhat limited backlight LED system. It only does shades from Red to Blue across the entire keyboard, but you can set up scripts for it to cycle across each shade between absolute red and absolute blue. It looks so cool.
i pick other cus my KB is..... ready guys ? ..... POS 1998 hp KB
For the first time in almost 10 years I have to vehemently disagree with you.
Multilingual keyboards suck and English keyboards rule?!?
Maybe if you are heavily limited to knowing ONE easy/simple to master language, but for the rest of the planet that has to deal with two of more languages without their weak brains exploding in the process, multilingual keyboards are a must.
Nufff said.
Mine is 100% total junk, i can wait to change it!
Das keyboard Model S Professional Mechanical
N-key rollover. Push as many keys at the same time as you want, none are missed.
Gen-U-ine Cherry "brown" mechanical key switches - no rubber domes
Clicky, light-touch but you feel when your keystroke registers.
Costly, but worth every penny
As close as you are gonna get to the classic IBM Model M mechanical keyboards (considered the all-time best keyboards made) that connects with USB and has the "windows" keys.
I actually prefer the really old keyboards. I'm talking pre-windows 95.
They have several advantages over the newer kind.
They're slightly larger than the standard keyboards, making it easier to use for both gaming and writing. That and I've got big hands.
They have a separate plug in, so I don't have to use one of my precious USB ports.
They don't have all those extra short cut buttons, which I never use anyway, making the keybodard more tidy.
G110 Logitech, awesome keyboard
Mines a Cyborg, pretty futuristic looking with a touch sensitive pannel, it cost about $70 which is pretty good value considering its quality (like the aluminum W,A,S,D and arrow keys).
I have a G19. I like the back-lighting and the G keys. But the Logitech software is pretty woeful half the time so I can't anyways take full advantage of the LCD screen.
Razer Lycosa Mirror - Great, i would give 8.5 out of 10
Logitech G19, LOVE IT!!!
Loving my Logitech G15. The LCD screen to display the date and time as well as the back-lit keys are very useful.
Logitech G15v2 FTW!!
I have the orange Logitech G15 at home, I think it is really good.
I have a Razer Arctosa at work which is pretty nice as well, but the G15 is better.
i have logitech illuminated Keyboard love it!
Other. I don't love it but I don't think it is only okay. I like it. It's a Dynex multimedia keyboard I got on sale for 7.99. Originally 18 dollars.
Love my keyboard. A Leopold FC500RR with Cherry MX Red switches :)
i have logitech deluxe 250 keyboard and it's KICKASS
You know what would be really really smart????
To have an backlit or regular gaming keyboard with a built-in android horizontal dock, that way you gain a full color HD lcd screen and a touchpad without spending a dime, of course u will need specific applications to run that with ur PC, but right now im using andromouse via bluetooth with a cheap chinese android.
Possibilities are endless, u would have cpu load, temp, and specs, or just a nice additional screen for your web cam or youtube or whatever, or use use it as a calculator, u might use the touchscreen to manage ur PC if u are too far from ur desk ur just to let ur right arm to rest a while, or winamp info, or BBC news feeds, u might answer ur calls via bluetooth, or just to have a cool glowing device on ur desk.
Gosh I need a patent for this idea...!
and even better if u could actually switch the keyboard either to the PC or to the phone... Cause Im not used to that flippin android virtual keyboard.
Had my Logitech G15 for a couple of years. First one I returned because the lights died, second one returned because the media buttons stopped working. The third one I am still using is about three years old, still love it :)
Logitech G19. Much much function`s.I really like it, can watch movies-pictures on it ,got RDS live Ticker,Performance Monitor,a Clock, i can watch webcam on it,youtube.com,Teamspeak Overwatch,Countdown funktion,marcos,can switch to all kind of colors you want and you can create Profile´s for every Game on it.
Its very helpfull with the Monitor in the Keyboard for Sideinformation and so on... Really cool Idea this Keyboard imo.
Ch33t4h aka Shicetube
Filco Majestouch here - The version with Cherry MX Blue switches - Can't find another keyboard that I like more! I do a lot of programming and thus a lot of typing so I need a keyboard that allows me to type quickly and accurately - The Majestouch does this perfectly!
Logitech G15. Love it :D. Never really saw the point to wireless keyboards unless you're using it for a media center or just have a weird desktop arrangement.
I just have the good old Microsoft Reclusa with blue backlit
Love the macro keys features, the leatherish palm rest, and the jog wheels and in terms of design and looks I think its the best ever made.
It is too sad they discontinued this item and have no support or spare parts.
After a few years of usage keys are starting to loose their printed letters and no way to get replacements.
I definitely envy those keyboards with fancy arrays of led keys, like WASD and stuff, but Just hate all other designs I think the reclusa and the Razer has the best designs of the backlited ones. Dont want a keyboard that looks like an Imperial destroyer, just a stylish and sleek design with backlit and a decent driver.
Thinking on Modding my reclusa to give it a few more years of life
Love my Saitek Cyborg!
i love my Razer Anansi
Steelseries 7G. I love it
Have been using a model-M from -90 for some years now and I'm currently modding it for the second time(just paint).
I would rate it as a 9/10 just because the sound can be an annoyance for family members at times, nothing that bothers me thou.
Buckling spring and the curved form of the keyboard makes it an absolute fingergasm for both games and long typing sessions.
I have a Logitech G15 keyboard, I voted "It's ok". The reason I didn't "love it" is multimedia keys around the display. They really suck. I have a Logitech G11 too which has a really nice volume control, but lack the display which I use for ventrilo so I can see who talks while playing.
I hate: "Windows button", "caps lock" (Useless)
I like: "insert", "home" and "end" buttons which some keyboard fu ck around with.
I would like to propose a poll asking if you use your "home" and "end" keys. I think I read somewhere someone talking about removing it from the keyboards. That would be a disaster to me and other programmers.
My Sidewinder X6 it's ok...
Unicomp SpaceSaver (Black, Buckling Spring). Expensive and I had to import from US, but worth every penny!
I have a Rosewill RK-9000 Mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches that I just bought and I'm loving it!
Logitech 5500 MX desktop set : Love it.
I have a Logitech G15 the orange one and i LOVE it! (=
I'm using a sidewinder x4. It's okay. Wish it was mechanical.

Results tagged ' Justin Smoak '
2/15 Roundup
The Indians signed a free-agent starting pitcher on Saturday, but it wasn't Ubaldo Jimenez. Instead of bringing back Jimenez, who rejected a qualifying offer from the club in November, Cleveland signed right-hander Aaron Harang to a Minor League deal with an invitation to Major League Spring Training. The veteran is expected to compete for the fifth spot in the Indians' rotation.
Cleveland also prevailed in its arbitration case against pitcher Josh Tomlin. The right-hander will earn $800,000 this season. The Indians have another arbitration hearing scheduled for Thursday with starter Justin Masterson, but the sinkerballer says the pending
contract talks don't bother him at all.
In other Hot Stove news:
• The Cubs added depth to their bench, signing veteran utility man Emilio Bonifacio. He was released by the Royals on Wednesday after being designated for assignment on Feb. 1.
• The Mariners and first baseman Justin Smoak avoided salary arbitration, agreeing to terms on a one-year contract with a club option for 2015. Seattle has now signed all of its arbitration-eligible players.
• The A's and outfielder Josh Reddick agreed to a one-year deal, clearing the club's arbitration slate.
• The Red Sox won't be going to any arbitration hearings either after coming to terms with left-handed reliever Andrew Miller on a one-year contract for 2014.
• The Orioles claimed utility man Jimmy Paredes off waivers from the Marlins. The switch hitter is expected to compete for a spot on Baltimore's bench.

Bellevue Civic Theatre kicks off 10th anniversary with Forever Plaid
Forever Plaid is coming back to Bellevue and kicking off Bellevue Civic Theatre's 10th Anniversary Season, October 9-17 at the Theatre at Meydenbauer Center.
Previously performed at Bellevue Civic Theatre (BCT) as part of the 2004-2005 season, this quirky revue tells the story of four young, eager male singers killed in the 1950s on the way to their first big gig. Miraculously, they are revived (tuxes included) so they may posthumously perform the show that never was.
Nostalgia lives as the "Plaids" sing such favorites as "Three Coins In A Fountain," "Catch A Falling Star" and "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing."
Forever Plaid is directed by Gregory Magyar and stars Nathaniel Jones, Sean Maurer, John Olson III and Casey Raiha as the "Plaids." Music direction is by Jim Fisher with choreography by Carissa Meisner Smit.
Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., Thursday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Single show tickets are $30 for adults. Senior and student pricing is available, call box office for details.
For tickets or more information, call the Bellevue Civic box office at 425-235-5087.
In addition to "Forever Plaid," BCT's 10th Anniversary season includes Neil Simon's Rumors, along with the The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge and a new adaptation of William Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona.

This is the "Evergreen Game" by Anderssen v Dufresne (the name is misspelled in the image), played in Berlin in 1852 as a casual game. Anderssen had already won the London 1851 tournament, the strongest of all time up to then, during which he had already played his Immortal Game v Kieseritzky as an offhand game on the off day, at the time considered the greatest game of all time.
Steinitz, then a rising player but not yet world class, dubbed it "Evergreen." Anderssen spectacularly sacrifices first a Knight, then the Exchange, and then his Queen to force mate.
I feel for those of you who haven't been exposed to these games before - they were the standard for brilliancy at the time, and a key part of chess history.
maybe the bishop ate somthing on that square be7?
Wow, finally something to stop people from cheating.
ou yea capturing... forgot about that now.
The move with the bishop is only possible if the bishop has eyes in back of his head, which makes him immoral or is that immortal?
Thought for consideration - doing some articles, videos etc. in a language other than English... (English for a lot of members is a second or third language -- tough one to think about)
nusons, Bxe7 was probably how it happened
now seriosly how is that move with bishop in the pic even possible ? :D
"Anti-cheating enhancements!"
Pfft. My Blunder Machine is undetectable. I remember one time I used my brain once. That hurt bad.
I wonder if it's a philosophical question whether it's cheating to use an opening book in your head. Hmm.
Cause that's what I did. I mesmerized the first two moves of the Ruy Lopez. Went into a coma for two whole days.
Someone up above must have been angry.

As they head for a runoff election Saturday, challenger Charles Foti has outpaced Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman in fundraising the last eight weeks, according to campaign finance reports filed since the Feb. 1 primary election.
Both Foti, a former longtime sheriff, and Gusman collected just short of $150,000 before the primary, but Gusman spent $426,300 -- three times as much as Foti. Since Jan. 13, however, records show Foti has raised $313,716, whereas Gusman has taken in $239,554.
And both loaned themselves personal funds. Foti gave his campaign $100,240, and Gusman put $75,000 into the race during the latest reporting period.
Both candidates have been pouring money into print and TV ads, as well as campaign workers to help get out the vote for an election that is expected to have a relatively low turnout. Foti has spent $431,012, which is just shy of the $439,726 that Gusman has spent since Jan. 13. The reports covered between Jan. 13 and March 12.
Among Gusman's recent campaign donations:
- Melvin Howard, one of his highest ranking deputies, contributed $2,000, bringing his total this election to $4,200
- St. John the Baptist Parish President Natalie Robottom gave $250
- Randy Seal for Sheriff (Washington Parish, La.) gave $500
- The Erhardt Group, a public-relations firm that has a contract with the Sheriff's Office, gave $1,000. The firm was paid $2,500 per month in 2012.
- Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand Campaign gave $2,000
- Ozanne Construction Company and Grace & Hebert Architects, both of whom are contracted by the Sheriff's Office on construction of his new jail, gave $5,000 each
- Friends of Mary Landrieu (U.S. Senator, D-LA) gave $5,000
Among Foti's latest campaign contributions:
- A group of eight New York residents gave Foti $5,000 each between March 10 and March 12
- Foti's law partners, Michael Swick and Lewis Kahn, donated $15,000 to his campaign through bundling with their companies. Kahn, Swick & Foti, Kahn & Swick Ventures LLC, and Kahn & Swick Real Estate Enterprises each gave $5,000. That was in addition to $25,000 Foti received from those people and entities prior to the primary election.

Understanding Brightness
When we all used incandescent bulbs it was so much easier to understand how bright a light bulb would be. Your choice was limited to a 40, 60, 75 and 100 watt bulbs, and a particular wattage gave out roughly the same amount of light irrespective of who made it; it's just unfortunate they wasted energy generating heat!
With the introduction of CFL and LED technology, understand brightness (measured in lumens) become confusing because these light bulbs give out the same brightness for a fraction of the energy consumed (measured in watts).
So when you need to know how bright a light is say hello to Lumens and goodbye to Watts.

Whenever possible, your instruction to the garage should be in writing
AA Legal assistance is available to Gold and Silver members. If you are looking for personal legal advice on any matter relating to vehicle use, motoring offences, accidents or disputes with suppliers/garages and don't have access to AA Legal assistance we recommend contacting your local Citizen's Advice Bureau or other legal adviser in the first instance.
These are some of the general points and most common issues that arise when dealing with garages. A basic understanding of the law can help you avoid a dispute in the first place or help you decide if you need more formal and personal legal advice.
There are two sides to every relationship and there are things that you can do to reduce the risk of something going wrong if you're dealing with a garage for car repairs or servicing such as trying to pick a quiet time if you need to discuss something, or being as specific as you can about what it is you want them to do.
Whenever you instruct a garage to carry out repairs or other work, you enter into a contract with that garage.
Some of these contracts will be in writing but many are not. Generally it's best to put your instruction in writing if you can, as it will be easier to see what was agreed should there be any dispute later.
Whether written or oral, any contract contains both express and implied terms.
The express terms of the contract are created when you instruct a garage to carry out a certain repair, and can be:
In addition to any express terms agreed, implied terms are that:
Choosing a garage that has signed up to the Motor Industry Code of Practice for service and repair should ensure that you get
Motor Codes provides a free consumer advice and conciliation service along with access to independent arbitration if things do go wrong.

CHAGRIN FALLS -- Carrie Crawford was busy caring for her two young children earlier this year when she got the inspiration for a practical invention she hopes will resonate with parents everywhere.
A Chagrin Falls High School graduate who now lives in Reminderville, Crawford had grown frustrated the blanket she held her son in for feedings was constantly shifting and provided no support for the child, and the awkward setup resulted in her continually experiencing arm and elbow discomfort.
Worst of all, when she had finally lovingly rocked him to sleep, the blanket would get caught under her arm when she went to lay the baby in bed, waking the child and starting the whole agonizing process over again.
Enter the Comfy Cradle.
Designed by Crawford, and named by her husband, Andy, the Comfy Cradle is a miniature pillow that wraps around the arm of a caregiver with Velcro, creating what Crawford describes as comfortable positioning for both.
"As soon as I used it, I loved it," she said. "It eliminated all the problems I was having."
Manufactured in Canton, the Comfy Cradle is easily washable and hypoallergenic, Crawford said. The former teacher, and now stay-at-home mom, adds that her first invention helps aid infant digestion and prevents reflux.
Watch the "Introducing the Comfy Cradle" video here.
To date, Crawford has sold 105 Comfy Cradles, primarily through comfy-cradle.com and at arts and crafts events across the region. It sells for $17.99 and is available in a variety of colors and patterns.
"Probably my favorite part of this journey so far has been the ability to connect with other like-minded parents who have experienced the same frustrations that I have," Crawford said. "It has been such a fulfilling experience to present them with a solution. It's really exciting to see my idea that was once a drawing on a piece of paper come to life before my eyes, and have someone interested in using it in their household."
Looking forward, Crawford hopes to enter the retail market in the coming months. She's in the process of having the Comfy Cradle patented, and aspires to branch-out nationwide.
"If someone had asked me before if I ever saw myself as an entrepreneur or 'mompreneur' one day, I would have laughed," she said. "But now, the possibilities seem to be endless. I've come so far in a year that I can only imagine the opportunities for Comfy Cradle moving forward."
Sales inquiries can be made at 440-289-4587. Information is also available on the Comfy Cradle Facebook page.

Seven Playful Stamped Jungle Cards
By: Dee Gruenig for Posh Impressions
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Cheerful jungle characters, such as the innocent elephant and lovable giraffe, are mix and matched in a variety of jungle cards. Unique stamps make homemade cards from Posh Impressions simple. Send one in the middle of winter to cheer spirits!
Six more jungle cards below!
Supplies listed will work for all 7 cards shown on this page. All are available from SundayInt.com
- Jungle set - get the large set to have more animals, borders, backgrounds and choices.
- Junior Jungle set (available only in large to mix in youngsters with parents
- Vertical Inspiration cardstock (Scroll for choice) & Regular cardstock
- Sticker paper - choose opaque & not glossy for best coverage
- Marvy brush art markers
- Blending Blox graduated color stamp pads
- Scissors - regular/ordinary
- Damp rag or a wet paper towel for cleaning stamps between colors. Dee uses a cut up old towl on a small dish & throws it in the washer.
- Stamp borders for inside of card first.
- Then stamp backgrounds and borders of front of card.
- Choose feature images and stamp them on opaque sticker paper. Use quality sticker papers. Do not use cheap ones that are not completely opaque or those that do not accept ink perfectly.
- Cut out feature images moving paper as you cut rather than moving scissors. Leave a small amount of white around the edges.
- Before removing sticky backing of sticker paper, place and overlap some feature images where wanted. Try different places and positions.
- Remove sticky backing by placing image where wanted, remove only a corner to hold in place and then carefully remove the rest smoothing with hand.
- If you wish, touch up any errors with the pens (Dee likes to use LePens for their smaller points but if careful, your brush art markers will work fine if they still have a point on them.) A White Writer is excellent for covering up small errors on white paper. For making many cards, stamp multiple images on the sticker paper and cut out all at once leaving the protective back on until ready to use them. Dee and her staff do this and keep the images organized in transparent sandwich bags.

I find that using baby wipes works well for cleaning stamps if you don't have a stamp cleaning pad.

NOTE: This game was ruled a forfeit in favor of Madison Heights Bishop Foley due to the use of ineligible players.
Saginaw Buena Vista's Bontay Brookins scored 21 points, and Carl Moore added 19.
"Bontay is our scorer, and he does a really good job," Buena Vista coach Tory Jackson said. "Moore hasn't played a lot of basketball, but he is a real athlete and he's starting to put it all together. He's really improved as a rebounder."
Buena Vista led 36-20 at halftime.
"The older guys on our team really held us together tonight," Jackson said. "We have a lot of seniors on this team, and it really helps as a first-year coach to have guys who've been on the road, and who know how to get it done."
Nick Gwisdalla led Bishop Foley with 21 points.

After winning the Southern States Athletic Conference Western Division last season, expectations are high for Loyola, despite losing three starters from last year's squad.
Wolfpack Coach Mike Giorlando said the key this season to repeating will be replacing leading scorer Corey Gray and center Cameron Cates.
"Our strength has to be our defensive system, defensive rebounds, and our ball-pressure defense,'' Giorlando said. "We need to have eight or nine players to come hard every night. We can't have a big drop off when we go to the bench.''
Sophomore Kyle Simmons will take over at point guard and three players, Steve Davis, Cameron Hill and Manuel Gandara, are battling for the center spot.
Aleksandar Matoski and Mason Ibert are battling for the two-guard spot position, vacated by Gray, who averaged 17 points per game last year and was an honorable mention NAIA All-American selection.
Loyola received votes in the preseason NAIA poll. The Wolfpack will face three ranked teams from that poll, including Lee (15th), Xavier (19th) and SUNO (24th).
Here is a capsule look at the Wolfpack:
Coach: Mike Giorlando (eighth year).
Last season: 20-10 overall, 11-7 in Southern States Athletic Conference. The Wolfpack captured the SSAC Western Division championship.
Season opener: Saturday, vs. Carver College at Loyola, 2 p.m.
Top returners: Junior guard/forward Robert Lovaglio (6-5) and sophomore forward McCall Tomeny (6-6) are the two returning starters for Loyola. Lovaglio, an All-SSAC selection last season, averaged 16.1 points per game, shooting 50.9 percent from the field. He also led the team in rebounds (6.9) and averaged 3.1 assists per game. Tomeny was named to the SSAC All-Freshman team last season. He averaged 11.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
The Wolfpack come off a banner season in 2011-12 when they finished 23-6 and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament. With three starters back from last year's squad, duplicating or surpassing that isn't out of the question.
Loyola received votes in the preseason NAIA poll and just missed being in the top 25.
But the Wolfpack is fairly young. The roster consists of only two seniors and one junior. That junior, forward Jasmine Brewer, was one of Loyola's top players last season. Senior forward Megen Berner and sophomore guard Janeicia Neely also return to the starting lineup.
"We have a good core group returning with Jasmine Brewer, Megen Berner and Janeicia Neely,'' Loyola Coach Kellie Kennedy said. "And we feel good about the players that we have recruited.''
The Wolfpack will have to replace departed starter Keiva Council, who led the team in scoring by averaging 23.1 points per game last season.
Here is a capsule look at the Wolfpack:
Coach: Kellie Kennedy (fifth season).
Last season: 23-6, 14-4 in Southern States Athletic Conference. The Wolfpack finished second in the SSAC Western Division and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament.
Season opener: Nov. 9, vs. Johnson & Wales in Miami, 7 p.m.
Top returners: The Wolfpack welcome back three returning starters including junior forward Jasmine Brewer (5-9), senior forward Megen Berner (5-11) and sophomore guard Janeicia Neely (5-5). Brewer, an NAIA All-American honorable mention selection and All-SSAC player last season, averaged 15.8 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game last season. She was good on 56 percent of her shots from the field.

It's time we had the talk. You know, the one about Where-Black-People-Meet-dot-com.
I'm talking about that dating site with all the commercials, the one that tells beautiful black people how to meet beautiful black people.
I'd be OK with it if it was Where-to-Meet-Black-People-dot-com. Everybody has personal preferences. That wouldn't be so different from other strangely specific online dating sites, like Farmers-Only-dot-com ("City folks just don't get it"), that dating site for pot smokers ("Why toke alone?"), or the one for STD sufferers ("Connect and cozy up with fun and flirty singles who share your STD").
But it is different. Because it excludes. On the basis of race.
And that doesn't play, whether on your TV screen or on the campus of the University of Alabama. It is a conversation that divides, that continues to make people think of one another as "us" and "them," and allows dividers to rationalize exclusion – from one perspective or the other – by tradition or past injustice.
It is 2013, and the way we talk about race – the way we react to race – has to change.
Of course this is not really about a dating site. The University of Alabama is now tumbling through damage control, finally acknowledging its own systemic racism. UA President Judy Bonner has told sororities to open up rush to "continuous bidding," a move designed to encourage white sororities go back and pledge black girls they already rejected because of race.
It is something. It is a Band-Aid, of course, a knee jerk reaction to media criticism. At best it lets the world wait to see which black would-be sorority girls will return to join a sorority where the door was just slammed in their faces. It is a remedy but not a cure.
It doesn't deal with the fact that there are two separate national Greek councils, one for black and one for white, and integration of neither has been particularly successful. It does not begin to address the issue that both those organizations like being separate, the reality that it is impossible to force people to like each other, and the fact that not everyone, ever, will get into the group of their choice.
If there is racial healing to come, UA will need more than triage.
Maybe it will come. Bonner today finally issued a statement that was not complete milquetoast.
"While we won't tell any group who they must pledge, the University of Alabama will not tolerate discrimination of any kind," she said in a taped statement.
"If we are going to adequately prepare our students to compete in the global society we simply must make systemic and profound changes."
Which is good. But if she is serious about removing racial barriers to sororities and fraternities – or any other group – the University will have to do a heckuva lot more than give sororities a mulligan for another racist rush.
The University needs to exert its formidable power to force change. It must educate incoming freshman about discrimination and warn every organization on campus, black and white, Greek and otherwise, that people are people, and that racial discrimination of any hue will not fly.
Racism must become the "targeting foul" of the UA campus.
Break the rule and you are gone. Period. Students who discriminate should be kicked off campus, adults who promote or condone it will be fired or banned. Organizations that willfully discriminate on the basis of race – any race – should have their leases revoked.
Simple. End of that conversation. And the start of another one.
And that's the irony in this whole ... discussion.
The racial divisions on the UA campus blew up only because a black girl wanted to go through rush with her white friends. And her white friends wanted her to join them in a sorority, and plenty of sorority girls were ready to take that step. They were so colorblind – some would say naïve – that they could not imagine a world this ... black and white.
That's the conversation we need to have.
We've heard enough about where black people meet. We've heard enough of where white people meet. We need people to meet.John Archibald's column appears Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the Birmingham News, and on al.com. Email him at email@example.com

The market and cafe at 29 McWilliams Place (on Ninth Street) is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on weekends from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Founded by Jersey City couple Marcela and Timothy Knipper, DOCO Market & Cafe offers home-style healthy meals in a creative environment with free Wi-Fi.
The market is stocked with local and organic produce as well as natural and fairly traded pantry staples. DOCO's head chef, Cali Rivera, offers a Mayan harvest-inspired menu and features locally roasted coffee from Small World Coffee in Princeton and Red House Roasters in Union City, fresh juice and smoothies, made-to-order sandwiches and pizzas on artisanal breads, and a selection of macrobiotic salads as well as homemade empanadas and other Central American delights.
Having experienced cooperative grocery store models elsewhere, the Knippers have launched a new type of alternative membership model that they hope will encourage community engagement.
"Instead of having members volunteer at the store like a traditional Food Co-op, we'd rather see them volunteering elsewhere in the community. We'll match a 1 percent discount for every one hour of your time that you volunteer at any participating community nonprofit of your choice up to 15 percent per month," said Knipper in a press release.
"We feel that you're the best judge of how to spend your volunteering most effectively. For instance, if you like gardening, there's always plenty to do at Growing Hands Urban Farm on Martin Luther King Jr. ... an awesome project where we source some of our produce. Or if you're good at math or science, we'd love to reward your time volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club, helping students with their homework after school, " added Marcela Knipper.
Knipper started a volunteer music program at the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County in 2009, and DOCO's first two employees came from the club. "Not only can these guys make a fantastic smoothie and delicious kale pizza, but they're incredibly talented young musicians!" said Tim Knipper.
For more information, email email@example.com or call the store at (201) 855-6767.
