Every cat considers their routine cat nap a must when it comes to their daily duties. As the individual needs for each fun-loving feline are different, so are their preferences in cat beds. Whether they prefer to nestle in a cozy corner or under the sun, most cats prefer warm and cozy places to snooze. From stylish luxury cat beds to pyramid-shaped and heated cat beds and pads, there is a large variety of styles available to suit your cat's preferences. When browsing through the various styles of cat beds, whether you're considering heated cat beds, covered beds or luxury cat beds, remember that your goal is to select the type that will offer your kitty companions the comfort and warmth that's just right for them.
A common preference for cats, especially kittens, is to sleep with you in your bed because they find your body heat and heartbeat soothing. If this is the case with your cat, you may want to look into heated cat beds as an alternative to you and your bed. If your cat seems to prefer the finer things in life, then you may want to consider the various styles of luxury cat beds available for your cat to indulge in. These stylish cat beds are essentially miniature furniture, such as sofas, plush chairs and chaises that are available in a range of prints from damask, cheetah, zebra and even leopard. There are also spherical shaped cat beds that are ergonomically designed to contour to your cat's natural curled napping position.
If heated cat beds aren't right for your indoor or outdoor kitties, then perhaps the cabin, hut or sack styles just might provide them with their right amount of warmth and coziness. The donut and bagel styles of cat beds are as plush and enticing as they sound; meanwhile the puffy box-style beds may provide your precious kitties with the comfort they seek. Of the luxury cat beds available, an indulgent feline with plenty of toys may prefer a lavish bed with an under-bed storage drawer. For the sun-loving window snoozers, there are window sill and perch beds available. There are also desktop beds and beds that sit atop scratching posts for cats that prefer a view from the top. With such a variety of styles available, you're bound to find the purrr-fect bed for your favorite feline.

Donät be afraid to use a little more contrast and colour in your images, the metal parts look a bit "fluffy" otherwise it looks good, really like the foot studies!
really like the last study and the way you crosshatch. I'd say keep doing more anatomy studies, from life if possible and more life drawings in general. Good start
Thanks for your comments! I'll take your advices!

Your last update is a nice one but a few things trouble me.
Her hair doesn't seem to follow the skull, it's too high. Unfinished too.
The folds of the pants are way too blurry, the other things are sharp.
The face features seem to be a bit tilted in relation to the chin.
In #3, the head looks good but the clothes aren't. They should show the body underneath (you should draw the whole body even if your figure is clothed) and the folds don't look natural either. They deserve some studies, there are quite a few very frequent type of folds.
Real great start to a Sketchbook. Loving the colour studies and the rendering on the key. Although the edges on some of the colour pieces can look quite blurry.
Other all however great stuff, keep pushing them colour studies and anatomy sketches, and most importantly keep updating!
shiNIN, thanks for your carefulness! That's an updated one below.
Fiddzy, nice suggestions! I'm working on it.

Hi matey
I agree with the posts above, this promises to be a great SB mate well done with the work so far. Those studies of the feet are really good I would also recommend you post some more anatomy studies and hands, these still need a bit of work mate. Thats the only crit I would put up mate and its only a minor one as its pretty good all round so far.
all the best

Thank you! I hope so. I'll try my best!
A picture of me modified...
He is about to chop the guy's head off
It looks more like the other guy LET him chop his head off.
The background is REALLY blurry and apparently you didnt use a reference for this.
I say, use references unless you are good enough to draw without them and always make sure you set priorities in your picture.
What is most important ? There should be the most details and most contrast.
In most cases it's a head/face.
Legs or feet for example are almost never a focus point and therefore much less detailed and well drawn, backgrounds too, except for when you draw environments, but in that case your character will be really rough.

No, this was just a split second. There wasn't enough time for the other guy to react and the proagonist's strength shut down all the opportunities for the target to survive.
And yes, this is just a rough painting. I'm just trying to study the actions. I may refine it later. Thank you for your attention and thoughts.
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I got a passion to draw the three pictures at one time. I did it. But now I can't wait until any of them are finished...so I'm posting a preview of them in advance. I know there are a lot of works left to do so far, and I will update them as soon as possible.
How much of the composition do you work on in the beginning stages.
I'm especially talking about the guy beheading the other guy. Right now, the composition is alright, but kind of boring really. It would be nice to see what it looks like with more diagonals in the poses because it doesn't feel like we happen to catch the black-haired guy in the act of beheading. When you draw, find different ways to show a scene. The poses are supposed to be action poses but the people are so horizontal and vertical that they don't look like we're seeing them in mid-action. It's fine for the 3 guys in the last to be so vertical because they aren't really doing anything. So yeah, if you aren't doing it already, looking up ways the human body moves in that situation will make the action more convincing.
Hi, NicoleWG. Thank you for your advice. I'm really keen on putting anything in action currectly and being able to rock people by the atmosphere and motions in my paintings.
Hey! I like that castle, curious how that turns out! Is it from reference?
Hi,Gibi. I'm glad that you like it. Yes, it is. I've found a photo on net as a reference and I painted the castle within my feelings. I'm sorry that you posted this a long time ago, but I reply you right now. And I know I've broken my promise to finish my works soon... Because I've set foot in a business that I don't think I will be able to meet more opportunities like that.
I know It's a waste for me to give up painting actively. But I don't think I have enough weight to win considerable gold via painting too. Reallity kills my passion.
Last edited by untier; March 7th, 2012 at 10:32 AM. Reason: Spoke too much worldwidely. Especially in a sketchbook...
Sorry, my bad! I didn't mean I would give up painting... I meant I wouldn't be able to pursue on active painting in a few month. Damn, I hate the time dimension...

The city's jobs market is looking up in spite of lost work and business caused by Hurricane Sandy.
The New York State Department of Labor's preliminary data shows unemployment rates dropped across the state this past year.
Citywide unemployment stands at about 8.7 percent for November, down from 8.9 percent for the same period last year.
Eighty-eight thousand private-sector jobs were also added across the state.
The department says those jobs took a hit from Hurricane Sandy, forcing more than 29,000 out of work last month.
Analysts say they're still studying the full impact of the storm on the jobs market.
The Bronx currently has the highest unemployment rate statewide, at 11.8 percent.

Song Stories
"Saturday in the Park"
Chicago | 1972
New York City's Central Park on a bright summer day can be a magical place. And on "Saturday in the Park," Chicago singer-keyboardist-songwriter Robert Lamm preserved this sentiment in song. "I was rooming with him, and we were in Manhattan on the Fourth of July," saxophonist Walter Parazaider recalled. "Robert came back to the hotel from Central Park very excited after seeing the steel drum players, singers, dancers and jugglers. I said, 'Man, it's time to put music to this!'"

In the wake of yesterday's ruling by a federal judge in Florida declaring the new health care law unconstitutional, potential 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney vigorously defended a similar plan he helped pass as governor of Massachusetts in 2006.Yeah, like George Stephanopoulos. a former adviser to Bill Clinton, didn't already know the difference between states rights and federel govt. rights. But hey, he has an agenda to fill.
"I'm not apologizing for it, I'm indicating that we went in one direction and there are other possible directions," Romney said in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" today. "I'd like to see states pursue their own ideas, see which ideas work best."
Romney conceded that he would probably push for a somewhat different law if he had to do it over again, and offered praise for Judge Roger Vinson of the Northern District of Florida, who ruled yesterday that the individual mandate, which requires individuals to purchase health care by 2014 or pay a penalty, violates the constitution. http://abcn.ws/dOMIyx
"The right thing for the president to do now," Romney advised is to "press the pause button and say, 'You know what, let's hold back on this Obamacare.'"
That's unlikely to happen, according to the White House, which called the ruling an "outlier" and expressed confidence it would be overturned on appeal. Notably, Judge Vinson did not order the government to stop implementing the law.

Running the Folded Leaf over the past few years has not always been easy, Woody said. Some months, she had barely any money left over for her when the bills we're paid. She said she's lucky to have a husband with a steady income the couple can rely on.
"Someone else might have tucked tail had they needed a specific amount of income from it," she said.
For the most part, though, business is strong and growing, she said.
"My attendance for May 2012 beat the attendance for January 2011 by a lot," she said. "That's our busiest months -- January and February. [Summer] is typically the time of year when attendance wanes."
As a business owner, the prospect of having another yoga studio close by is a concern for her, Woody said.
"I absolutely want as much yoga to be available to as many people as possible.... As a business owner, there's a little bit of concern. I wish Emily well and I want to see her do well. So far I've not seen any negative consequences."
Woody, who seeks out a place to practice yoga any time she travels, said finding multiple yoga studios in one city typically isn't a problem. Yoga has become more mainstream in recent years, but Woody said the Charleston area and much of the South has been slow to embrace it.
"There seems to be a very southern thing -- the lack of progressive thought," she said. "At the same time other places I can find lots of places for yoga. Places like Louisville are a hot spot for yoga."
Jones said she doesn't think having two yoga studios in Charleston will be a problem.
"There's such a need," she said. "Everybody wants to feel good. Everyone wants to improve their health ... I feel like there is enough demand for everyone."

1999The web page we created gives information about weather. We explained how weather conditions such as fog, rainbows, hail, clouds, and rain occurred. We researched thunder and lightning, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes and wrote about them in a section called storms. El Nino and the Greenhouse Effect were also explained. In fact, we tried to explain what happened during the Greenhouse Effect by creating a hand-drawn diagram. We created a hand-drawn weather map and explained what a cold front, warm front, and a stationary front were. We talked about some simple weather instruments. We interviewed a meteorologist and recorded his answers on one of the web pages. Our educational objectives were: Learn to use PageMill (a web-authoring program) Design informative web pages based on curriculum taught to third and fourth graders in California Learn to use a scanner and digital camera Learn to search for information using a variety of sources- Internet, books, interviews, etc. Learn to create web page backgrounds Learn how to organize our time and work together as a team

FOXBORO - The Vegas gambler stepped up.
Old Boston Billy rolled the dice.
Clearly, he's watched enough of the Giants in February to know that it's time to shred "bend but don't break" and start attacking.
Twice last night, Bill Belichick advanced in the first round to select front seven defenders. First, it was No. 27 and a third-rounder for Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones at No. 21. Then the Patriots took the 31st pick and a fourth-rounder for Alabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower.
Again, as Brandon Spikes might Tweet: #PoWoWoW!
This isn't an infusion of defense for the Patriots, it's a transfusion, exactly what this football team needed.
In Jones, they get that versatile edge guy, the hybrid athlete this defense hasn't seen since Rosevelt Colvin's hip socket was decimated on the turf in Philly.
Is the 260-pounder the next McGinest, Vrabel or Seymour? Right now, I couldn't say, but the numbers say he has a shot to be one of them.
"He played defensive end," said Belichick, refusing the hint at where Jones' future lies.
The arrival of Hightower makes it a potential All-SEC trio at linebacker — with Tennessee's Jerod Mayo and Florida's Brandon Spikes.
Could the Pats roll out a traditional 4-3 with Spikes in the middle, flanked by Mayo and Hightower?
You have to love the potential.
Simply put — and I know they've come within a drive of it twice — no defense with Jerod Mayo playing middle linebacker will ever win a title.
Belichick loves Mayo as a person and player. He rewarded the one-time Pro Bowler with a 5-year, $48.5 million contract extension over the winter. But the reality is that Mayo is an outside linebacker.
Sure, he looks like Patrick Willis in uniform, when standing next to Rob Ninkovich and Garry Guyton. But next to a couple of nasties like Spikes and Hightower? He's pushed to the edge.
Pats fans, that's not a good thing. It's spectacular.
Hightower played inside on first-and-second down, then moved to the defensive end in nickel and dime packages.
That tells me Nick Saban wanted the kid on the football field. And I'm sure that was expressed to his best-est buddy Bill.
Jones complements the move to a four-man front perfectly. He's light, and despite the fact that he says he patterns his game after Julius Peppers, I think he's more Dwight Freeney, another Syracuse star.
Plunk Vince Wilfork and free agent Jonathan Fanene at the inside tackles, mix and match your personnel at the edge to the situation.
On tap today
New England traded up for a pair of potential impact defenders while protecting today's second-round picks - Nos. 48 and 62.
It was a point Belichick stressed after last night's whirlwind first round. Clearly, the coach and personnel guru Nick Caserio have earmarked a handful of players for potential selection tonight.
If strategy holds, there's an offensive lineman left out there that veteran assistant Dante Scarnecchia desires.
Figure that for one of the picks. You'd have to also figure New England for one more defender, hopefully not another undersized, undertalented corner in the Terrence Wheatley, Darius Butler mold.
Pats KO AFC East
The Pats should breathe a sigh of relief that the competition struggled last night.
Miami stepped up first and completed the head-scratcher the Dolphins had threatened with the draft of project QB Ryan Tannehill out of Texas A&M. I just don't see Belichick suffering through cold sweats late at night because of that one. Is Tannehill any better than Matt Moore? Nope.
Buffalo was next, and the Bills continued a defensive re-tooling with cornerback from South Carolina Stephen Gilmore. He's a nice little player and will probably start. But Buffalo has so many holes, and Gilmore is only one man.
Finally, the Jets nabbed defensive lineman Quinton Coples out of North Carolina. He'll play in the Shaun Ellis mode, but why do I smell a Vernon Gholston-like bust once again out of Mike Tannenbaum's club? I don't know. But remember where you heard it.
Folks, New England vs. the AFC East on this night? You're talking a first-round knockout.
Draft continues

Ice cream soda
Ice cream soda | |
Alternative name(s) | Ice cream float, Coke float, spider |
Place of origin | United States |
Creator(s) | Robert M. Green |
Main ingredient(s) | Ice cream; soft drink, or syrup and carbonated water |
An ice cream soda or float (United States, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and East Asia), coke float or Snowball (United Kingdom, New Zealand), or spider (New Zealand and Australia),[1] is a beverage that consists of ice cream in either a soft drink or in a mixture of flavored syrup and carbonated water.
The ice cream soda was invented by Robert McCay Green in Philadelphia, PA, in 1874[2] during the sesquicentennial celebration. The traditional story is that, on a particularly hot day, Mr. Green ran out of ice for the flavored sodas he was selling and used vanilla ice cream from a neighboring vendor, thus inventing a new drink.
His own account, published in Soda Fountain magazine in 1910, states that while operating a soda fountain at the Franklin Institute's semicentennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1874, he wanted to create a new treat to attract customers away from another vendor who had a fancier, bigger soda fountain. After some experimenting, he decided to combine ice cream and soda water. During the celebration, he sold vanilla ice cream with soda water and a choice of 16 different flavored syrups. The new treat was a sensation and soon other soda fountains began selling ice cream sodas. Green's will instructed that "Originator of the Ice Cream Soda" was to be engraved on his tombstone.[3]
There are at least three other claimants for the invention of ice cream soda: Fred Sanders,[4] Philip Mohr,[4][5] and George Guy, one of Robert Green's own employees.[6] Guy is said to have absent-mindedly mixed ice cream and soda in 1872, much to his customer's delight.[7]
Regardless of its origins, the beverage quickly became very popular, to such a degree that it was almost socially obligatory among teens, although many adults did not like it. According to some accounts, it was banned, either entirely or on holy days, by some local governments, giving rise to a substitute treat, the sodaless ice cream sundae. As soda was marketed as a miracle cure, it was often considered a substance that required oversight and control like alcohol, another controlled substance that could not be served or purchased on Sundays in many conservative areas. Many soda fountains had to figure out a way to turn a profit on Sundays when selling soda was considered illegal.[8] The solution was to serve ice cream on these days, as it is merely a food product and not a controlled substance. Soda fountains then coined the term "Sundaes" for the ice cream concoctions that they served on "soda's day of rest".
Regional names[edit]
In Australia and New Zealand, an ice cream soda made with CocaCola or PepsiCola is known as a "spider."[9] Other spiders are usually known by their flavour, as a "lime spider" or an "orange spider".
In Scotland (mainly on the west coast) and Ireland, it is usually referred to as a "float." "Coke" is often used generically to refer to any cola in the United Kingdom, while "soda" is usually taken to mean soda water.
In Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Colombia it's called Vaca Negra (Black Cow), while in Puerto Rico is referred to as a "blacao", the phonetic interpretation of "black cow".
In the United States, an "ice cream soda" typically refers to the drink containing soda water, syrup, and ice cream, whereas a "float" is generally ice cream in a soft drink (usually root beer).
Variations of the ice cream soda are as countless as the varieties of soda and the flavors of ice cream, but some have become more prominent than others. Some of the most popular are described below:
Chocolate ice cream soda[edit]
This ice cream soda starts with approximately 1 oz of chocolate syrup, then several scoops of vanilla ice cream in a tall glass. Unflavored carbonated water is added until the glass is filled and the resulting foam rises above the top of the glass. The final touch is a topping of whipped cream and usually, a maraschino cherry. This variation of ice cream soda was available at local soda fountains and nationally, at Dairy Queen stores for many years.
Root beer float[edit]
Also known as a "black cow"[10] or "brown cow",[11][12] the root beer float is traditionally made with vanilla ice cream and root beer, but can also be made with other flavors.
In the United States and Canada, the chain A&W Restaurants are well known for their root beer floats. The definition of a black cow varies by region. For instance in some localities, a "root beer float" has strictly vanilla ice cream; a float made with root beer and chocolate ice cream is a "chocolate cow" or a "brown cow." In some places a "black cow" or a "brown cow" was made with cola instead of root beer. In some areas, for example, Northeastern Wisconsin, "black cow" is said to mean a root beer float where the ice cream and root beer have been mixed together.
In 2008, the Dr Pepper Snapple Group introduced its Float beverage line. This includes A&W Root Beer, A&W Cream Soda and Sunkist flavors which attempt to simulate the taste of their respective ice cream float flavors in a creamy, bottled drink.
The origin of the name "black cow" has always been of interest to food and beverage experts and allegedly dates to August 1893[13] in Cripple Creek, Colorado. The only source of this story is the great-grand-nephew of Frank J. Wisner, who has popularized it through his soft drink product advertising.[14][unreliable source?] Wisner, owner of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company, had been producing a line of soda waters for the citizens of the then-booming Cripple Creek gold mining district. He had been trying to create a special drink for the children of Cripple Creek and came up with an idea while staring out at his properties on Cow Mountain on a moonlit night.
The full moon's glow on the snow capped Cow Mountain reminded him of a dollop of vanilla ice cream floating on top of his blackened Cow Mountain. As he told the story later, he was inspired by this view to hurry back to his bar and add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream to the one soda water he produced that the children of Cripple Creek seemed to like best — Myers Avenue Red root beer — and served it the very next day. The drink was an instant hit. Originally named "Black Cow Mountain", the local children shortened this to "black cow".[13] Wisner was known to say many times in his later years that if he had a nickel for every time someone ordered a black cow, he'd have been a rich man.
Coke float[edit]
A coke float can be made with Coca-Cola and vanilla ice-cream.
Boston cooler[edit]
A Boston cooler is typically composed of Vernors Ginger Ale and vanilla ice cream.[15]
The origin of the term "Boston cooler" lies in Detroit, Michigan, the city in which Fred Sanders is credited with inventing the ice cream soda. The name is a mystery, having no apparent connection to Boston, Massachusetts, where the beverage is virtually unknown.[16][17] One theory suggests that it was named after Detroit's Boston Boulevard, the main thoroughfare of what was then, according to the theory, an upper-class neighborhood a short distance from James Vernor's drugstore.[18][19] Boston Boulevard, however, did not exist at the time. The streets and subdivision that became the Boston-Edison neighborhood, approximately five miles from Vernors' drugstore, were not platted nor incorporated into the city until 1891, and its first homes not constructed until 1905, nine years after Vernor closed his drugstore.[20]
It is known that by the 1880s the Boston cooler was being served in Detroit,[citation needed] made with the local Vernors.[15] Originally, a drink called a Vernors Cream was served, as a shot or two of sweet cream poured into a glass of Vernors. Later, vanilla ice cream was substituted for the cream to make a Vernors float. Unlike a float, however, a Boston Cooler is blended like a thick milkshake. Both Sanders' soda fountains and Michigan-based Big Boy restaurants (which had Boston coolers as a signature item until the Elias Brothers sold their franchise to new ownership in the 1980s) used their milkshake blenders to prepare the drink.
It can be found most often in the Detroit region's many Coney Island-style restaurants,[15] which are plentiful because of Detroit's Greektown district influence. National Coney Island is one of the few restaurant chains to list the Boston cooler in its menu. The Kerby's Koney Island chain lists a Boston Cooler on its menus, but that variant is actually a Vernors Float, as the ice cream is not blended. It is also found at the Detroit-area Dairy Queens[citation needed] and at Halo Burger, a Flint, Michigan based fast food chain.[15]
A Boston cooler is also available on the menu at the Chow Food Bar[21] in San Francisco.
Universal Studios parks serve a concoction aptly named "Butterbeer" from the famous Harry Potter series which is a root beer and butter scotch version of the ice cream soda. Recipes for it can be found at many places online.[22]
Snow White[edit]
A Snow White is made with 7 Up or Sprite and vanilla ice cream.
The origin of this variation is unknown, but it is found in some Asian eateries.
Purple cow[edit]
In the context of ice cream soda, a purple cow is vanilla ice cream in purple grape soda. The Purple Cow, a restaurant chain in the southern United States, features this and similar beverages. In a more general context, a purple cow may refer to a non-carbonated grape juice and vanilla ice cream combination.
Sherbet cooler[edit]
The Friendly's chain also had a variation known as a "sherbet cooler," which was a combination of orange or watermelon sherbet, vanilla syrup and seltzer water. (Presently, it is billed as a "slammer".)
Vaca Preta[edit]
At least in Brazil and Portugal, a non-alcoholic ice cream soda made by combining vanilla ice cream and coca-cola is known as vaca preta ("black cow").[23]
Vaca Dourada[edit]
In Brazil, a vaca dourada or golden cow is an ice cream soda combination of vanilla ice cream and guaraná soda.
Orange Float (or Orange Whip)[edit]
An orange float consist of vanilla ice cream and orange soda.
Beer Float (aka Shakin' Jesse[24])[edit]
Guinness Stout, Chocolate ice cream, and espresso.[25] Although the Shakin' Jesse version is blended into more of a milkshake consistency, most restaurant bars can make the beer float version. When making at home, the beer and espresso should be very cold so as to not melt the ice cream.

Great price with rebate... Bad keyboardPros: Was free after rebate. Works on win 8.1. Has multimedia features. Cons: My device has somehow lost the ability to use most of the characters above the numbers like the @ sign for instance...which is kinda important in this day and age. They just stopped working after a few uses. Other Thoughts: I gave it two stars because despite the problems.. If you can get it on sale and with a rebate for next to nothing it works as a backup keyboard in a pinch. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Feels cheap, and hard to type...Pros: It was on sale for the price of $7.99 with free shipping. Hard to beat at that price, It types, and it's a keyboard with a few goodies, like a hotkey for the calculator, volume up/down with a mute button. Even at the regular price of $14.99 it feels like it may not be too bad a deal, and may last a couple of years. Cons: BUT... I'm not sure how long it's going to work. I gave it a gentle twist, and it flexed like crazy. It feels very flimsy and small... Other Thoughts: Bearing in mind 1> I've only had the keyboard for a day, and maybe the keys might "break in" in a week or so. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Compact so fit wells on drawer. Keys feel smooth and are easy to hit. Cheap. Cons: Cable is a little short. Did you find this review helpful? |
Quirky but good feelPros: Good action, handles fast typing with many keys pressed at once. Action starts out a little hard to press but it gets a little easier over the period of a week of use. Cons: Slightly non-sensical layout of multimedia keys, and a tiny backspace key but a HUGE enter key. Caps-locks etc lights are difficult to see unless standing above the keyboard. The right side of 1 of 3 I've ordered is a tad harder to press than the left side, even after a week of break-in. For the price; it's not big enough of a difference to complain about much, and it's something that's easy to not notice. Other Thoughts: Thanks for the awesome service NewEgg. :) 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good GreatPros: nice feeling of button clicking, Cons: spacebar whabily Did you find this review helpful? |
Pretty good for the pricePros: Function buttons are nice & compatible with Windows 8 and require no setup. Hard to describe but the buttons feel soft and generally quiet when pressing them down which I count as a plus. Overall it's a pretty solid keyboard for $10. Cons: The backspace key is the size of a normal key which takes awhile to get used to. Every time I go to backspace I usually end up hitting the '\' key a few times before realizing it's the wrong key. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Key Board.Pros: - Cheap Cons: *Keep in mind this is a small design keyboard! Other Thoughts: This is a great low budget keyboard, It will indeed get the job done. though keep in mind its a small design and i've said this lots of times. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good keyboardPros: It has awesome function buttons. My favourite is the calculator button. It looks nice, and it is sturdy. The led's on it are nice. They aren't too bright, so if you don't like bright lights in your face, then that is a definite plus. It is just slightly smaller than a regular keyboard (maybe an inch), but I like it. It's space-saving. I got it on sale for $7.99, but I wouldn't have a problem paying full price for it because it is worth it. Cons: The size thing might be an issue for you if you prefer larger keyboards, but it is hardly a difference. Other Thoughts: Again, I love the function buttons. Also, Rosewill is a great brand. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not A Bad Little Keyboard and its a RoswillPros: Its a nice smooth little keyboard for the money. Cons: Only con I have came a crossed is the Backspace key is very tiny. Other Thoughts: For $8.99 plus free shipping I couldn't beat it. It's a Roswill and there products have always preformed flawless for me. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
AvaragePros: Price Cons: It's physically very small. If your used to a full sized keyboard then I'd pass on this one. Other Thoughts: I should have looked at the pictures more closely. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Secrets to Apple success: Displays
While it's common knowledge that Apple is a product trendsetter via the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air, its status as a standard setter is not as widely known.
Ever heard of Thunderbolt? If you have (many CNET readers undoubtedly have) it's almost entirely owing to Apple, which has been the exclusive adopter of that interface technology, developed by Intel, on its Macs. While it's unclear whether Thunderbolt will catch on in a big way, the fact that Apple has first-adopter status is one reason other device makers are taking a serious look at the technology.

Greg Gibson: As Elphaba, I see Christina Aguilera....can you hear her belting out DEFYING GRAVITY!!!! It would be awesome! And the flying in the film........ooooh.....goosebumps! lol
Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera has been seen in the movie "Burlesque," which featured multiple musical sequences. We'd love to see her in a full-length musical this time, and her infinite vocal range would be perfect for the role of Elphaba.

"What if those bandits had families? Wives and little children that they'd never be able to return home because they died by OUR hands? [...] Justice? Is it justice? What's justice? Just an opinion, really... I mean, those bandits... They could've been doing what they thought was right, what was 'just' in their eyes... It's just that their opinions conflicted with ours, so there's bloodshed... Is it ever necessary?" The MARDEK series is a series of online Flash RPGs designed and created by Pseudolonewolf of Fig Hunter Games. They revolve around a lad named Mardek, his childhood friend Deugan, their female colleague Emela, and the magical space ghost living inside Mardek's body called Rohoph. The games take place on the planet Belfan, where magic and all that nonsense are pretty commonplace. Part of what makes up MARDEK's charm is the game's sense of humour, as almost everyone on the planet seems totally aware that it's an RPG world, and are quick to point out that most of what happens make little to no sense whatsoever. Make no mistake, though; at the center of it all is a well-written story and well-constructed world that, as the quote above demonstrates, can be rather dark at times.The game is planned to be eight chapters long, although Pseudolonewolf has stated that he might reduce the amount of chapters to 5 or 6. The third chapter was released in the summer of 2010, along with some graphical and gameplay updates to the first two chapters. Savegames from earlier chapters can be imported into the following chapter.Chapter 1 is here, Chapter 2 is here, and Chapter 3 is here.Has a character sheet.

The world honey bee population is down dramatically and somewhat mysteriously recent years. Given their importance as pollinators for fruits and vegetables and nuts and flowers, it's an agricultural disaster in the making, which made today's rescue and removal all the more fascinating.
Veteran Randy Brunner knew this job was a challenge. His target was 20 feet up, nestled behind a cinder block wall. There were 4,000 worker bees and their leader.
"I've got to make sure I get the queen," says Brunner. "If I don't get the queen, the bees will migrate right back to her."
Using a hammer and chisel to break through the wall, Randy quickly finds the queen surrounded by her subjects.
Honey bees got into the wall several years ago, apparently through a small hole made for an electrical conduit. This swarm probably arrived about a week ago and store manager Tony Volk says they began causing problems last night.
Despite working with little protective gear, Randy will not get stung unless the bees are railed up. He works with his homemade bee vacuum to suck the live bees into a 5-gallon bucket.
"I can hear a lot going down my hose there," he says.
A couple of hours into the job, the queen is captured.
"I think I saw her and I think I got her in the bucket. I would say 95% sure," he says.
Randy's careful work saves the vast majority of honey bees and almost certainly the queen.
"I'll take them back and hopefully they'll hive in one of my hives and hopefully reproduce and get this bee population increased because I know they need all the help we can give them," Randy says.
Randy wrapped up his day's work by spraying the site with apple cidar vinegar. The smell will keep away the few remaining stragglers from the open hive site. The store already has a contractor on stand by, ready to seal up the wall within the next few days.
So the bees are saved. So are the customers.

The Bingaling Bzzzzz
March 2014
(03-03-2014) Snow has finally melted off of our Bow Hill hives and tonight was the first night of our Skagit Valley Beekeepers Association Apprentice Beekeeping class (that's a mouthful). What a great turn out! We had over 30 beginning beekeepers in attendance, I spoke about the honey bee and her products. I thought it went well! :^) |
February 2014
(02-26-2014) I know it happens to a lot of people eventually; but I know a cranky old beekeeper that turned 60 today! (02-15-2014) It's now time to start doing hive inspections every 10 days and I'll continue this through October. I've also started placing bee candy (fondant) on the top bars as insurance in case our bees run out of food before the maple trees & dandelions bloom in April. So far, we've only lost one hive to the Winter challenges (they appeared to have gotten a little too far from their food during the last cold snap). |
January 2014
(01-24-2014) Many people have suggested that my lip balm needs to be in the stick form... so I have decided to stop making lip balm pots; and I'll start making the lip balm in lip stick tubes for our customers convenience very soon. :^) (01-18-2014) Finished January inspections for 24 colonies today; very minimal inspections - removing mouse guards, cleaning entrance of dead bees & tipping/weighing the hives to determine if anyone is running low on stores. Things look good for now... |
December 2013
(12-22-2013) To all of our customers, family & friends... Thank you for your support. Sales of our honey, handmade soaps & lip balm have been great! Merry Christmas! (12-16-2013) I was out doing Winter inspections today, our bees seem to be doing well... honey stores/weights seem to be good for almost all the hives. (12-14-2013) We are now making lip balm made with Bees Wax & Honey from our hives, additional ingredients include: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, and Sunflower Oil. Protect & treat your lips with some really great lip balm. Four flavors to choose from: Peppermint, Root Beer, Strawberry, or Cocoa - $4.50 each or Two for $8.00 |
November 2013
(11-18-2013) Our Seeds for Pollinators came today from the Applewood Seed Co. of Colorado; and I spent the day packaging seeds for honey bees and native pollinators. We are selling one seed package for $3.50 each (7 grams) or 2 seed packages for $6.00
(11-08-2013) I attended the Beekeepers of District 1A Dinner last night. Dr. Weeks spoke about the practice of Apitherapy among many other interesting topics. (11-02-2013) I am working really hard to try and keep up with all the handmade soap orders... The 3 week lead time includes time for the soap to cure & dry. |
October 2013
(10-25-2013) Just finished tucking my bees in for the winter months. The bottom board inserts are in, their stores have been checked... here's hoping they all see April.
(10-12-2013) I had a couple of hives to move in the wee hours of the morning. It went well, except for me getting my truck stuck and having the property owner tow me out. My bees are now nestled into their new homes. (10-10-2013) Tonight, at our monthly meeting of the Skagit Valley Beekeepers Association - I gave a short presentation on a herb based Varroa mite control product called Apiguard; I think my talk was well received. |
September 2013
(09-07 & 17-2013) I'm trying out a Thymol Gel product - Apiguard out of Great Britain that will really help with the Varroa Mites that are decimating Honey Bees worldwide. It's made from the herb Thyme in a food grade matrix gel.
(09-02-2013) I finished removing the last of the honey frames from our last 2 hives, extracted & bottled up the last of the surplus honey. It's been a good year, our bees made some great premium "Natural" Honey! Hope you buy some... |
August 2013
(08-28-13) I'm just about done with extracting our honey, about 50 pounds left on a couple of hives; & our kitchen is just about back to normal.
(08-14-13) Busy time - pulling honey supers, extracting the honey, bottling the honey & labeling... oh, and quality control tasting :^) (08-07-13) This week I worked our Skagit Valley Beekeepers Fair Booth for a couple of days. It was a lot of fun talking to families and kids about beekeeping. I think we may have some new beekeepers soon coming to our meetings to learn more about beekeeping. |
July 2013
(07-15-13) I had an apprentice field day at my Pulver Road hives today. We took 2 hours to go through 4 hives; I talked a lot, and shared a lot...
(07-03-13) Captured 2 swarms yesterday, put one in a Bow Hill hive that was empty from possible CCD earlier this month and placed the other with a beekeeper in west Mount Vernon - a local veterinarian that shall remain unnamed. (07-01-13) I just finished building a solar beeswax melter for under $35; found an old window on the cheap, threw together some fence planks and unfolded part of a stove pipe - and it works great! Now I can add some beeswax to my super's foundation frames. |
June 2013
(06-28-13) Finally, enough sunshine to finish up 18 more inspections for the week. The bees were a little grumpy a couple days ago when I did 6 inspections, next time I'll zip up my veil... Yes, beekeepers get stung. :^)
(06-20-13) Well, The rain is falling... and hopefully the nectar is about to flow and our bees will start putting up lots of honey these next 2 months. (06-10-13) Wow! 8 swarms captured so far... in the last 45 days! I can't keep up this pace with building new hive boxes. All 24 of our Honey Bee colonies are doing well. I sure hope we have a bumper crop this year for honey? |
May 2013
(05-28-13) I only have 1 hive left empty for captured swarms... So, I'm building more deeps in case there are more swarms in my near future.
(05-16-13) It has been a good month for capturing swarms... 4 of them so far, I gave them all good homes. I also did 2 splits this month, so we have 21 colonies up and running; & building more deeps for future colonies. (05-14-13) Inspections, fed syrup and pollen patties today; and converted all deeps to 9 frames. It was a long day, glad I had help with the heavy lifting. |
April 2013
(04-24-13) Finally, my 4 Nucs arrived - installed in their new homes, and placed them in the Clear Lake & Cully Road bee yards.
(04-20-13) We had a "Field Day" at WSU Research Center in Mount Vernon, Beekeepers gathered around Sue Cobey to listen and learn from her expertise on beekeeping & colony health. Quite a few new apprentices were there. (04-11-13) It was a good day to be out on the Samish Flats and on Bow Hill doing my inspections and feeding our bees - 5 healthy hives there doing very well. |
March 2013
(03-17-13) Happy Saint Paddy's Day - I'm making sugar syrup today to feed my bees... Oh, and celebrating 1 year retired from Renton Fire & Emergency Services.
(03-11-13) First night of SVBA Apprentice Beekeeping Class, I'm helping out with the class, but Bill Marcus & Bob Price are the primary instructors... A lot of material to cover in four - 2 hour classes, but lots of fun working with new beekeepers. :^) |
February 2013
(02-13-13) This month Bingaling Bees is starting to produce Natural Honey Soap - containing palm, coconut & olive oils with small amounts of honey and beeswax from our hives (in a variety of scents).
(02-04-13) Also, continuing to perform winter inspections of the hives; lost one more colony (sigh), cluster must have been just a little too far from their honey stores during the cold snap. The hives on the flats haven't wintered well at all, not sure if it's the cold & wind or chemicals? |
January 2013
(01-11-13) This week as it began to get colder, I went out to all the yards to install inserts in the screened bottom boards and remove ventilation shims on the inner covers, to tighten things up for our bees. I also checked honey stores and added a couple of honey frames to those hives in need. I enjoyed very much giving a beekeeping presentation to the Kiwanis in La Conner this week... and was rewarded for my efforts with a special coffee cup. :^)
December 2012
(12-18-12) I went out today to check the bee yards I missed earlier in the week. This time of the year, it's mostly just weighing the hives to see how fast they're consuming their honey stores, and cleaning the entrances. I use a luggage scale to record a "tipping" weight, and compare to last month's weight. It's a great non-invasive way to get a feel for what's going on in the hive.
November 2012 (2nd Half)
I discovered a yellow jacket problem at one of our hives while I was collecting some bees for the beekeeping presentation I did for the folks at the La Conner Retirement Inn. I had fun sharing about Honey Bees and beekeeping, I think the presentation went well; but then I had to go back the next day and put entrance reducers on all the hives to help them combat yellow jackets.
November 2012 (1st Half)
Well - I checked all the colonies, pulled out the empty frame feeders and installed my new mini wind breaks... This warm wet weather is already making the colonies eat up their reserves pretty fast, I've noticed 2 or 3 hives are significantly lighter in just a month. Hope we have a good winter for the Honey Bees... :>)
October 2012 (2nd Half)
I still need to pick up some empty frame feeders from the hives and replace the deep frames that were pulled out earlier. There are a couple of colonies I'll have to keep a close-eye on come Spring, they're just a little too light on their weight. I had some fun on Halloween passing out candy in my new bee hat...
October 2012 (1st Half)
I've been busy inspecting the colonies and doing essential oil/sugar syrup drenches. It's a pretty labor intensive process spraying each frame of bees in each of the hives, but will help with Nosema C. and the Varroa mites; and hopefully enable everyone to make it through the Winter...
September 2012 (2nd Half)
Once again, I've borrowed the club's extractor to finish up the honey for 2012. It was a nice surprise to squeeze out 30 more pounds from the supers removed before the Fall feeding began. I'm still looking for a new extractor for next year's honey, and need to stop and visit Hank at Belleville Honey here in our area to check out extractor prices.
September 2012 (1st Half)
Well, I moved four colonies to the North Cascade foothills right after Labor Day and we're still looking for new locations that might have better year-round foraging... If you live in Skagit County and are interested in hosting Honey Bees, give us a call. We begin feeding sugar syrup next week to prepare all the hives for the coming winter...
August 2012 (2nd Half)
Wow! Extracted Honey and sold it all in the same week... I was a little disappointed in the quantity the bees put up in the supers, but I think next year will be much better with most of the colonies being in their 2nd or 3rd year. Also, it'll help that I'm moving some of the hives in the next couple of weeks to higher elevations where the year round foraging should be much better?
August 2012 (1st Half)
I had the opportunity to volunteer in the Skagit Valley Beekeepers Booth for three mornings during the Skagit County Fair this month. We answered a lot of questions about bees, beekeeping and honey. There seems to be a lot of interest from the general public; of course, it helps that Club President - Bill Markus brought in and set up the observation hive. It was a lot of fun...
July 2012 (2nd Half)
I worked hard this last week in the yards with inspections and discovered about 16 frames of capped honey in the supers of 5 colonies. I'm down a colony, had to combine it with another hive because it had a drone laying queen. Also, I managed to capture a swarm the last day of the month that was in the middle of a brush burn pile, made for an interesting challenge...
July 2012 (1st Half)
We now have 20 colonies up and running after our latest swarm capture from Bennett Road. I received a few stings on my hands after not putting on my gloves and the bees took advantage of that fact when I shook them off one of the top branches of a very tall plum tree (quite a few landed on the back of my right hand). I will try and remember to put my gloves on next time.
June 2012
I'm still feeding the bees sugar syrup to help the new packages to get a good start. I also attended an interesting 'Queen Rearing' class at WSU - Skagit, instructed by the renowned Sue Cobey. I hope the nectar will begin to flow soon and our honey bees will begin putting up lots of surplus honey. :>)
May 2012
It's been a great month! I'm still feeding everybody syrup and patties. I've captured 3 honey bee swarms and installed them in their new homes. We now have 18 colonies in 7 yards. All the new hives are doing very well; and I'm continuing to learn a lot about keeping the 'hives right'. :>)
April 2012
I've been busy the first part of this month getting lots of bee hives placed in new yards. Installed 14 - 3lb packages on the 20th, had a little problem with the last 2 hives. It really was a combination of tired hot bees and a veil mishap, got stung a few times on the back of my neck. We now have 15 colonies up and running in 6 yards, and I have a new bee jacket to prevent any future mishaps... :>)
March 2012
I'm still feeding the bees fondant, and making contact with new bee yard property owners. Also, still building the new hive boxes and frames, removed the mouse guards from the colonies, a quick clean of all the bottom boards, and I'm starting to prepare the new yards for the new hives we're starting next month.
February 2012
Started feeding all the hives bee candy (fondant) since a couple of colonies were getting light on stores. Good insurance to help make sure the bees make it to Spring. It's like fudge without the chocolate. Weather has been cold, wet & windy... We'll see if I can keep five hives alive and well until Spring arrives...
January 2012
Winter inspections - discovered some moisture problems, removed newspaper insulation. Made sure that that the bee candy I made is in place; because a couple of hives were getting light. I'm building & painting deeps, & assembling frames... keeping busy getting 16 new hives ready for our new residents in April.
December 2011
Changed out the wind baffles that weren't working and built temporary windscreens at each yard; also wrapped hive boxes in six mil black plastic to assist bees with maintaining warmth of hive through the Winter. I'll remove everything in March when things begin to warm up a bit.
October 2011
Finished up Winter preparations at the yards and we did "Honey Bee - Beekeeping" presentations for four - 2nd grade classes this month at Little Mountain Elementary. We covered a lot of material, hope the kids enjoyed it; I know I had fun and I'll fine-tune it to make it better next year... :>)
September 2011
A busy month - fed the bees 2 to 1 sugar syrup, built & installed new mouse guard/reducers. I checked to make sure each colony has 60 pounds honey and a couple of frames of pollen for the winter; but there are some very aggressive bees in the Cairo colony at the Benson yard. I'm wondering if something has been bugging them or the queen needs to be replaced?
August 2011 (2nd half)
We finished up extracting honey at the end of the month; 1st extraction about 26 pounds; 2nd extraction around 7 pounds - not much; but great for a 1st year colony. The bees have been busy building their wax comb the 1st year. Hopefully, we'll get a lot more honey next year off these five hives and a little off the 16 new ones...
July 2011 (2nd half)
Picture shows a great example of 'bearding'; my bees thought the Bejiing colony was a little warm, so they hung out outside for awhile to lower temperature for the brood inside. Everybody was back inside after 15 minutes when I opened a crack by sliding a super back a bit.
July 2011 (1st half)
The honey supers are on, but the bees are not showing much interest in building comb. I Removed the feeders and installed drone frames to control Varroa mites through IPM program. Also, lost half of Bejiing colony to swarming during 1st week from the Pulver Yard, swapped the brood boxes and frames on rest of the hives and nipped that in the bud.
May 2011
Ok - finally have all of our bees in all four of our colonies (about 40,000 bees total). I will confirm that the queens have been released from their 'queen cages' on the 4th or 5th. This will be a very busy month for the new bees while they gather nectar, pollen and build out their comb in the new homes.
April 2011
I've placed four empty hive brood boxes in two apiary sites. One site is off Pulver Road near the Skagit River and the other site is off Benson Road on the Samish River flats. Now, we are all ready for the bees to be delivered and installed next week. Then, we are in the bee business. :>)
March 2011
Finally finished all the bee hives, lots of honey frames left to assemble but the hive boxes are done... Taking another beekeeping class, this one local - Skagit Valley Beekeepers Association - fine tuning, getting good stuff for this area (instructor - Bill Markus).
February 2011
I have two hives completely painted (2 coats each of the 10 boxes), two more hives left to paint go.... figured out what I'm going to do for the four hive stands. I bought sacks of sugar, but I'm still waiting for 125 sheets of plasticell on back order from Western Bee Supply in Montana.
December 2010
Building bee hives for my bees, two deeps, and two supers per hive; also this week - I ordered 4 packages of Italian Honey Bees from Belleville Honey for April 15th delivery. Still figuring out sites for last two bee colonies...
November 2010
Took delivery from Western Bee Supplies, in Poulson, Montana - a 500 lb pallet of equipment & supplies; and finished up my classes in the WSU Apprentice Beekeeper Course. I used my new truck to haul all the supplies home from the pumpkin patch. :>)

A Tucson man has been convicted of first-degree murder for setting a woman on fire in 2008.
Pima County prosecutors say 55-year-old Anthony Lewis also was found guilty of aggravated assault and second-degree burglary and was acquitted on two other burglary counts.
Prosecutors say Lewis faces life in prison without the possibility of parole when he's sentenced.
The Arizona Daily Star says a sentencing date hasn't been set.
Authorities say Lewis had repeatedly violated a restraining order 44-year-old Angela Hudson filed against him in early 2008.
They say he went to Hudson's house, poured a soda bottle full of gasoline on Hudson and set her ablaze on Sept. 22, 2008.
She suffered burns on 35 percent of her upper body and died in a Phoenix hospital five months later.

The Cubs have lost six in a row. What more can be said? So, here's a photo of a cat with a baseball:
Image via Wikimedia Commons
And here's a rainbow and a unicorn!
Come to think of it, is Matt Murton available? The Cubs could use someone who could hit lefthanded pitching. (I'd much rather have Murton on the roster right now than Scott Hairston, for example.) FWIW, Murton is currently hitting .355/.405/.489 for the Hanshin Tigers in NPB, with 11 doubles and four home runs in 186 at-bats.
Will the Cubs lose 100 again? Vote in the poll.
Cubs lineup:
DeJesus CF, Castro SS, Rizzo 1B, Soriano LF, Schierholtz RF, Castillo C, Valbuena 3B, Barney 2B, Garza P
Reds lineup:
Choo CF, Cozart SS, Votto 1B, Phillips 2B, Bruce RF, Frazier 3B, Paul LF, Hanigan C, Cueto P
Today's Starting Pitchers |
Matt Garza had an excellent beginning to his 2013 season last Tuesday in Pittsburgh. He threw 82 pitches and was on a limit of 85-90 that night; perhaps he'll be allowed to go longer this afternoon. Matt did not face the Reds last year; current Reds are a small-sample-size 17-for-69 (.246) against him.
Johnny Cueto spent a month on the DL with a similar injury to the one that sidelined Garza, a strained lat. Last year he started four times against the Cubs, covering 28⅓ innings, and allowed 16 hits and three earned runs. Current Cubs are hitting .213 against him (32-for-150), with four home runs (all by Alfonso Soriano). Looks like doom is in our future.
Today's game is on CSN Chicago.
Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.
Baseball-reference.com game preview
Please visit our SB Nation Reds site Red Reporter. Be careful over there, though.
Here's the scoop on game threads for 2013. You'll find the game preview -- like this one -- posting as the first link in the StoryStream™, which will then contain all the overflow threads and the recap. The recap will also be on the front page as a separate post; once I post a game recap, the stream for each game will be retitled "Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of Week) Game Threads" so you can go back and find every thread related to that particular game.
In general, game previews will post two hours before game time. Exception: for day games after night games, that will usually be 90 minutes.
You will also be able to find the First Pitch Thread and all the overflow threads in the box marked "Chicago Cubs Game Threads" at the bottom of the front page (you can also find them in this section link). They will also appear in this StoryStream™. As I've done for each regular-season game for several years now, we'll have the First Pitch thread at five minutes before game time (moved up from actual game time per your requests), then an overflow one hour, two hours and 2:45 after game time.

After the explosion, he looked around and noticed he was receiving first aid care while enduring intense pain. The IED resulted in the loss of both of his legs above the knee and his left hand. Thinking his life was over, he made his peace with God and closed his eyes. His corpsman woke him up, asked the sergeant the name of his wife and his daughters (Nairoby, 5, and Genesis, 1), and when Sgt.

Save your legs, social life with Walk Score
