Atwood Rennovation Proposal Voted Down
Students at St. Cloud State University said no to renovations of the Atwood Memorial Center but said yes to a local Director of Veterans Services in a referendum vote last week. The ballot also consisted of ten at large Senator positions along with the three referendum topics. More than 1,600 student votes were cast in the election.
The proposed Atwood Memorial Center renovation was the largest referendum topic, which would have increased student fees by $4.20 per credit up to 12 credits per semester. That renovation was voted down by students for the second consecutive year with 55% of students voting no compared to 42% voting in favor of the renovation.
The Veteran's Resource Center will now have a Director or Managed Area funded by student activity fees after students voted in favor of the proposal 50% to 34%. The final referendum proposal was changes to the Student Constitution which passed with an 82% to 18% vote.

Supersize America: Whose job to fight obesity?
Banning extra-large sugary sodas. Blocking fast-food restaurants in some neighborhoods. Requiring calorie counts on menus. Kicking snack foods out of public schools. Are anti-obesity campaigns crossing the line into nanny state intrusion?
Ann Hermes/The Christian Science Monitor
Los Angeles
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the latest elected official to seek to use the power of government to slim down Americans' waistlines. But he's hardly the first.
Before he raised eyebrows by proposing to ban the sale of sugary sodas bigger than 16 ounces at New York's restaurants, delis, cinemas, and stadiums, officials elsewhere have tried other strategies for fighting the obesity war. They've enforced moratoriums on new fast-food outlets in certain neighborhoods. They've required eateries to print calorie counts of menu items, and they've kicked sodas and snack foods out of public schools.
The sharp rise in obesity rates that marked the 1980s and '90s has flattened in recent years, but researchers disagree over how much difference such government interventions have made. The result is that policy proposals like Mr. Bloomberg's tend to be greeted by equal parts cheers and jeers – with many public-health activists giving them the benefit of the doubt, and many restaurateurs and food purveyors slamming such intercessions as "nanny state" limits on individual choice.
In between is the US public, collectively heavier than ever, trying to sort out for themselves whether public-health liabilities that officials attribute to obesity warrant intrusion into a behavior as private as eating and drinking.
One is Angela Hutchinson, a casting director and, on this day, a patron at McDonald's in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Here, calories are printed on the menu for all to see, courtesy of a state law that since 2010 has applied to restaurant chains. Ms. Hutchinson says she routinely checks the calorie count when she eats out, but not here.

2005 Toyota Avalon XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
I compared this vehicle with the Acura
TL and the Infiniti G-35. I would have
been happy with any one of these three
cars. The Avalon, however, is larger
and has considerably more front and
rear leg room for 4 passengers. The 280
hp engine is very powerful and smooth
as is the ride. It has considerably
more trunk space than the G-35 which is
also quite a bit smaller. Value-wise I
feel the Avalon is comparable with cars
in the $40,000 range. The new styling
is more sporty and not as stodgy as the
older models. I had leased an Avalon
previously in 1997, and found it to be
an extremely reliable performer with a
lot of comfort and conveniences. The
newer model raises the bar even further.

2005 Toyota Avalon XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
This is a great car from end to end. It
drives like a dream, very comfortable
interior and user friendly instruments
for the driver.Lots of power from the
V6! I went from a 10 year owner of a
Camray to a Dodge and back to Toyota. I
never had a problem with the Camray and
I don't expect any with the Avalon. The
saftey features on this auto make me
feel very safe on interstates. One more
thing. Owning this car will attrack

2005 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Keyless ignition is a bit confusing.
While entering the car in a rainstorm,
the car decided not to allow me to
start it. I had to have my family
stand in the rain until I could reset
the start mode. Also, the laser cruise
control doesn't work in the rain. I
found this out the hard way! The
navigation is great, but there are lots
of buttons to press. Gas mileage on
our first road trip of 600 miles gave
us 27.1 mpg. This is just what they
advertised. Very solid and with all the
air bags, you feel very safe. The
engine is much stronger than my
previous older style Avalon. The warm
and cold seats are great with long
drives and a bad back. I'm very happy
with this purchase!

2005 Toyota Avalon XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Sleek new body style, interior well
appointed and controls in easy reach,
far above the 2000 I traded. Toyota has taken
the Avalon to a new plateau.

2005 Toyota Avalon Touring 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
I have purchased a new car ever 2 to 3
years since 1974, and this is the best
one yet. The cost was a little bit more
than I usually spend, but I feel it was
well worth it. It handles great, has a
great appearance inside and out.
Everthing is at your finger tips, you
don't have to reach around for things.
There is only one thing that I would
change; there is not a good place to
put your cell phone or to charge it
while driving. Other than that I would
not change a thing.

2005 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
This 2005 Avalon Limited is a new style
with many new options. Many new drive
assistance features on the multi-
purpose screen. Turn signals
incorporated in outside mirrors are
great. New dash/gauges are easy to
read. Great ride and performance with
the 3.5L engine and 5 speed
transmission with bump up or down gear
shifting. Telescoping and tilt wheel
are great. Heated and cooled seats
using air flow are really comfortable.
Looks more modern that previous style.

2005 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Avalon was past ready for an update. Changing the platform from the LS 430 to the new GS 300 however was a radical departure some won't like. Improved handling with somewhat less comfort and the feel of less room is one trade you make. Mileage is down, to be expected w/ a 280 hp engine. Build quality is superb! The new display system is awkward and cumbersome, replacing the digital broad spectrum info always available on the old car . I bought the Limited. Smarter folks than I will either opt for the XLS or blow the extra bucks for the Lexus and take the higher resale when the time comes . A great new Toyota, but is it really a new Avalon ?

2005 Toyota Avalon XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Great quality and quite a value when compared to competition. Have been an Acura owner and fan for the past ten years. When compared to the new RL this car served my needs and wallet a lot better. Love every aspect as compared to either RL or TL. Have no comlaints about either my old 2000 RL or 96 TL; however, at this point the 2005 Avalon is a much better buy for me than either of the Acura current offerings.

2005 Toyota Avalon XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
The new body and interior are fabulous. The '05 is bigger, roomier, and gutsy beyond simliar model cars. I have a '95 Avalon with 230,000 that has been handed down to my son; car runs like a top. If you know anything about Toyota reliablity you know it's second to none. This purchase broke one of my rules of normally buying year old, but when I saw this car, and then drove this car there was no turning back. There are serveral clever creature comforts inside and the 285hp make this a truly fun car to drive.

2005 Toyota Avalon Touring 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
This car is very nice and beautiful. It has 280 Horsepower, which blows away the Nissan Maxima. The interior is very well set up and everything else that comes with the car is great.

GRAPH EXPO & CONVERTING EXPO 2004 PREPRESS & PREMEDIA -- Exhib
November 2004As for processless plate technology, there were no major updates to any of the previously reported (August 2004 issue of Printing Impressions, page 24) development efforts.
Agfa was able to finalize its acquisition of Lastra just prior to Graph Expo, but it was status quo at the show in terms of the companies having separate booths and plans for the plate product lines. Agfa continues to emphasize that its chemistry-free Azura plate (based on ThermoFuse technology) is commercially available, with Kirkwood Printing of Wilmington, MA, being an early adopter. At Graph Expo, the company also pointed out that its new Acento four-up, thermal platesetter is now shipping in North America.
Along with celebrating its first year in the printing plate business, Creo announced it intends to add a production line to its West Virginia manufacturing facility. The plate line is expected to more than double the plant's capacity and is projected to be completed by the end of 2005.
A mix of thermal and violet CTP hardware introductions was sprinkled around the show floor.
Heidelberg showed a strong commitment to thermal at Drupa 04 with the introduction of a new laser system it developed and is incorporating into the Suprasetter line of thermal platesetters. These platesetters offer versatility in plate handling, format coverage and punching. Various configurations are available, from the four- or eight-page basic models to the automatic Single Cassette Loader (SCL), Multiple Cassette Loader (MCL) and Plate-On-Demand (which allows for instant plate production initiated from the CP 2000 press console) systems.
However, the company also continues to be a major player in the violet CTP market. The Prosetter violet product family headlined Heidelberg's CTP solutions at Graph Expo 04, along with the North American premier of Suprasetter. New features shown included a manual by-pass for the SCL configuration, a new Multiple Cassette Loader (MCL) model and Plate-On-Demand functionality.
Over the four days of the show, Heidelberg says it utilized Prosetters to produce more than 1,000 plates run on seven presses with 36 printing units. It reports selling approximately 1,000 violet systems worldwide since the product line was introduced in January of 2002.
Small Footprint Model
Enovation Graphic Systems brought the Fujifilm Saber Luxel V-6 violet platesetter line to Chicago for its North American launch. The machine is said to offer a smaller footprint while supporting a maximum 303⁄32x27˝ plate size. It features a 60mW laser and is available in manual, semi-automatic and automatic configurations.
Presstek Inc. previewed an Automated Plate Loading System upgrade for its Dimension Excel CTP platform, which features new ProFire thermal imaging technology. The upgrade enables automated handling of multiple plate selection, punching, slip-sheet removal, imaging and post-imaging handling. Pricing and availability are scheduled to be announced in early 2005.
Screen (USA) arguably could be considered a thermal-only CTP vendor, but its parent organization does offer violet platesetters outside the U.S. market. Its platesetter line now tops out with the high-speed, multi-format PlateRite Ultima 16000 (16-page) and 32000 (32-page) models, both featuring Grating Light Valve imaging technology.
Rejoining the ranks of Graph Expo exhibitors after a four-year hiatus, ECRM Imaging Systems highlighted its new MAKO 8 platesetter. The eight-page (32.4x45˝) machine combines violet imaging with a straight-through plate path for ease of operation.
Xanté Corp. introduced a new metal CTP solution based on patent-pending, non-photosensitive technology. Aspen metal plates are said to enable a process-free, chemical-free, no rinse workflow using anodized and grained aluminum plates rated for more than 25,000 impressions. The Impressia metal platesetter uses high-intensity radiant light to instantly expose the Aspen plate in sizes up to 13.38x19.87˝.
Just prior to Graph Expo 2004, Esko-Graphics announced it was narrowing the focus of its commercial printing business to the DPX 4 polyester CTP system, PlateDriver Compact violet platesetter, DotMate filmsetter and EskoScan scanner product lines. The company is also moving forward with its plan to introduce the Espresso four-up CtUP (computer-to-UV-plate) system in 2005. Mitsubishi Imaging showed the DPX 4 system in its booth, too, since the platesetter was jointly developed by Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd. (its parent) and Esko-Graphics.
Elsewhere, International Graphic Systems introduced HighWater's Python four-up violet platesetter into the U.S. market, Escher-Grad Technologies showed its fully automated Cobalt-4 and Cobalt-8 violet CTP systems, Glunz & Jensen released the PlateWriter 4200 ink-jet computer-to-plate (iCTP) system and basysPrint highlighted an entry-level, eight-up version—UV-Setter 731e—of its CTcP (computer-to-conventional-plate) system.
Konica Minolta Graphic Imaging U.S.A. has formed a strategic partnership with basysPrint GmbH to sell, service and support the complete line of basysPrint CTcP systems in the United States.
Digital color proofing systems were also prevalent around the show floor, especially solutions for remote proofing—both hardcopy and on-screen/virtual. Epson America, however, chose an off-site venue to brief members of the press on a new product offering that could change the competitive landscape.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4000 Professional Edition combines the printer engine and UltraChrome Inks with a custom-designed RIP from ColorBurst Systems that's SWOP approved and Pantone licensed. Epson says this bundle is only being offered for its 4000 series engines.

Pierre's Payday: Cashing In on a Sinister Agenda |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Thursday, 05 June 2014 16:35 |
(UPDATED BELOW) Mark Ames has a follow-up to his story on Pierre Omidyar's extensive links with the rightwing extremist Narendra Modi who now controls India. (I wrote about and excerpted Ames' original story here.) As Ames pointed out in the first story, Omidyar's support for Modi was rewarded with a vow by the candidate to open up India's lucrative e-commerce market to foreign corporations and techno-oligarchs -- like Omidyar. Today, Reuters is reporting that Modi is planning to open India up to global e-commerce firms like eBay next month, and that Modi's industry minister has been drawing up the new guidelines with input from top eBay officials, along with their e-commerce counterparts from Google, Amazon, Wal-Mart and others. … As we reported, the longtime managing director and partner for Omidyar Network India Advisors, Jayant Sinha, began working to help elect Modi since at least 2012, while publicly doling out tens of millions of Omidyar's money to for-profits and to non-profits, at least one of which was involved in an anti-corruption campaign that undermined the center-left ruling government, and benefited Modi's far-right BJP party. UPDATE: A state minister from Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's ruling party has described rape as a "social crime", saying "sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong", in the latest controversial remarks by an Indian politician about rape. |

Neighbors, I would love to have some cuttings of a purple dahlia imperialis. I'm new here, and I don't know things work, but I'd be happy to pay in cash. As for trading, I think all I can offer at the moment are some hedychium tubers. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Very few dahlia enthusiasts grow Imperialis. It is very tall and can reach 20 feet. It is very late blooming and in most of the USA it will not bloom or will do so just minutes before a killing frost. It is a different species of dahlia and will not cross with our dahlia variablis. The tubers of Imperialis can be 3 feet long and unlike variablis, it can be grown easily from an inter node on the stem instead of a tuber. |

.- A judge in Argentina has ordered the removal of an image of Our Lady of St. Nicholas from the country's Supreme Court building.
Judge Susana Córdoba ruled in favor of a suit brought by the Association for Civil Rights, an anti-religious group, which claimed the presence of the image or of any religious symbol "would jeopardize the principle of judicial impartiality."
Fr. Jorge Oesterheld, spokesman for the Bishops Conference of Argentina, told reporters Córdoba's decision "surprises a country whose Catholic tradition is part of the national culture."
According to Fr. Oesterheld, the presence of Catholic symbols in public places "has never implied religious discrimination nor been an obstacle to freedom of religion."
Other Church leaders emphasized that the image was put in place by a group of laymen and not by Church authorities.
Several months ago the Argentinean Supreme Court ruled that "the Catholic religion is a fundamental fact of Argentina's culture and social reality."
Various organizations have announced their intention to appeal the decision by Judge Córdoba all the way to the Supreme Court.
Dr. Roberto Castellano, President of the group "Pro-Life," denounced the ruling and called it a "sneaky campaign of persecution against what has historically been the faith of the majority of Argentineans."
"This same logic," he said, "would have us outlaw the memory of Generals San Martín and Belgrano," who fought for the independence of the country, "since both of them consecrated their fight for independence to the Virgin Mary, who this judge now wants to send into exile."

Tottara Akan Yo! Osaka-ben Music
Posted on 04. May, 2010 @ 1:04 pm by harvey in Humor, Media, Music, Osaka Views: 4,092
You need more Kansai-ben in your life, and I'm here to help.
JapanNewbie here introducing a random song called Tottara Akan Yo とったらアカンよ, by a group named Atarime.
This song has direct Osaka and Kansai culture references, traditional Japanese background music, and Kansai-ben to make it fun. Not something I would listen to every day, but very fun to listen to once in a while! Also the lyrics are goofy enough that I notice some new funny bit every time I listen to it. I just downloaded it from HearJapan.com so I have listened to it about 5 times now.
The lyrics are filled with stories of theft, and theft prevention. You know, hittakuri grabbing purses out of the front of bicycles – be sure to use a bicycle basket cover thing. Watch out for groups trying to pick your pocket in crowded places. Stuff like that. The lyrics warn that if you steal stuff, no matter how hard you try to hide or run, eventually you'll end up in jail – so better not to try and steal stuff!
I haven't been able to find this song on YouTube or anything, but you can hear a pretty good length clip on the HearJapan page.
Apparently this song was used in a Osaka public service campaign against stealing as well. I guess I was in the States already so missed it though!

Mesopotamian god of fertility. He was the son of Enki, god of water, and Duttur, a personification of the ewe. Worship of Tammuz was centered around two yearly festivals, one in the early spring in which his marriage to the goddess Inanna symbolized the fertilization of nature for the coming year, and one in summer when his death at the hands of demons was lamented. He is thought to be the precursor of several later deities associated with agriculture and fertility, including Ninsun, Damu, and Dumuzi-Abzu.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I'd been having crazy hot flashes--6 to 10 an hour--for about two years, along with almost nonstop periods (on average, I was having my period 20 days a month; it came and went). All of a sudden this past month, no more hot flashes and no more period. This was VERY abrupt: one day I was in misery; the next day (and every day since), total relief! Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm 47 and have no money or health insurance, so I'm trying to deal with this life change on my own, but in the back of my mind I do wonder if it's menopause at all; maybe it's, you know, cancer or something. Does my experience sound typical of menopause? |
Follow-Up Postings:
That seems like a lot of hot flashes so dress cooloer, drinke plenty of water. Unfortunately, hot flashes all seem to cycle where you think you aren't having them and they rare up. Hope all goes well. Deanna |

Friday, May 27
Overstock.com Coliseum
Attendance: 12,110
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Ryan Sweeney singled in a run to spark a three- run sixth inning to give Oakland a 6-2 victory over Baltimore in the opener of a three-game set.
Brad Ziegler (1-0) was given the win as he pitched two scoreless innings in relief of starter Gio Gonzalez. Gonzalez went five-plus innings, allowing two runs -- one earned -- on five hits and five walks with seven strikeouts in the Athletics' third win in their last four games.
Alfredo Simon (1-1) took the loss when he allowed three runs in two innings of relief. Starter Chris Tillman allowed two runs -- one earned -- on six hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings as Baltimore's had its five-game win streak snapped.
"I'm disappointed, but I have to look forward," Tillman said of his short outing. "We're headed in the right direction."
Hideki Matsui knocked in Sweeney with a single in the first inning to give Oakland a one-run lead.
Baltimore tied it up in the top of the second when Mark Reynolds worked a bases loaded walk to bring in Vladimir Guerrero. Guerrero and Matt Wieters singled to start the inning and then Nolan Reimold walked to fill the bases with no outs. After Reynolds' walk, J.J. Hardy struck out and Jake Fox grounded into a double play to limit the damage.
The A's took the lead right back in the bottom half of the second with an RBI single by David DeJesus. Mark Ellis led off the frame with a single and then stole second before coming around to score on DeJesus' base hit.
Fox walked to lead off the fifth inning and Robert Andino followed with a single. Adam Jones then hit a ground ball to first. Shortstop Cliff Pennington's throw back to first to complete a double play was too far right of the bag and Gonzalez couldn't make the grab as he ran to cover first. The ball rolled into the Orioles' dugout and Fox was awarded home on the throwing error, which tied the game at two.
Oakland had the bases loaded in the fifth with one out on a Daric Barton single and walks by Josh Willingham and Matsui. Simon then entered and fanned Kurt Suzuki and Ellis to end the threat and keep the game knotted at two.
Simon returned for the sixth inning and got into trouble. He allowed a single to Andy LaRoche and a walk to David DeJesus before Sweeney singled to bring in LaRoche. Willingham then doubled down the left-field line to score DeJesus, and Matsui was intentionally walked to load the bases. Suzuki followed with an RBI single to give the A's a 5-2 lead before Ellis grounded out to third to end the inning.
The A's extended their lead in the eighth on Willingham's solo shot to left field.
"We have to build [on leads] and get that big hit in a crucial time in the game," Willingham said. "I like our chances if we score four or five runs in a game."

"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"
"I ordered these for my son to pass out on Valentine's Day at school. Adorable! So much better than the store bought Valentine's Day cards!"
"such a fun card for girls or boys but my son loved them and so did his friends and some family he passed them out too. Cute size and loved the little envelopes that came with them. Cute graphics, great printing. A+++ quality! Thank you!!!"
"I mailed these out inside of a larger envelope due to the small size of the card, and people loved them. Many commented that the small size made it even more cute because it was different. Very impressed with the quality of the product and will definitely order something again. Highly recommended."
"My daughter loved that she was a "kitty kat". She really enjoyed giving cards that had her face on them. The quality was much more than I expected and the picture quality was great! I was very impressed. I would highly recommend this valentine."

In this paper, we describe the leadership training experience of peer facilitators in the Gateway Science Workshop program, including quantitative and qualitative data on participant outcomes.
While many college students enter leadership programs with the goal of developing leadership skills, some specialized leadership programs draw students who seek to gain expertise in a disciplinary area, with leadership development as a secondary goal. In the latter case, program developers face the challenge of generating enthusiasm among student participants for thinking and talking about leadership.
This paper chronicles the evolution of one such program, describing in detail the challenges faced and solutions attempted, as well as presenting quantitative and qualitative data on participant outcomes.

Pros: It works Cons: Expensive for what you get Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Good KeyboardPros: I got this when it was on sale so the price was good. Cons: For what it is it is a great keyboard, the only downside is that there is no option to illuminate all the keys. Did you find this review helpful? |
Amazing Mechanical KeyboardPros: Cherry MX Red switches, extremely durable, very heavy (won't move unless you want it to), very nice matte finish, awesome looking LEDs, different LED modes, gold plated detachable USB cable. Cons: Can't seem to activate N-key rollover or toggle between 8ms, 4ms, 2ms, or 1ms responce time (all other FN keys work except the 6-key rollover, N-key rollover, & the 8-1ms respnce time keys). Other Thoughts: Wish the keyboard was fully backlit Did you find this review helpful? |
Works for NowPros: Nice weight, seems sturdy Cons: As others have stated there are sometimes issues when you start up your computer with this keyboard. The bios will hang for a minute, and when the OS finally does boot the keyboard won't work so I have to try replugging it in multiple times and restarting the computer. I've double checked to make sure that the miniusb connection on the back is secure, once you hear it snap in it seems pretty stable. Other Thoughts: Running a Gigabyte AMD motherboard with Windows 7 64 bit. Did you find this review helpful? |
You can do betterPros: It is a solid mechanical keyboard that is decently priced for a full sized layout. A great price if you get it on sale for 60$. It has rubberized feet on the back which was a nice touch and the cord is of very high quality. Cons: The partial back lighting's looks nice but in in practice doesn't cover enough keys to help you play at night. The price is good but you can find better deals on higher quality keyboards if you look around. It is manufactured by iONE, which is far from a beacon of quality in the keyboard world, and that lack of quality is noticeable. Other Thoughts: While this is not a bad keyboard, I would recommend to anyone reading this to check out other deals and to read reviews and forums before making this purchase 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
if you own amd, forget it!Pros: nice keyboard, cherry mx keys, nice cord. Cons: worthless if you own an amd motherboard! stops at boot screen after first use, spent months rma'ing to coolermaster who sent back the same model keyboard. The first keyboard worked some of the time, but would crash occasionally, the replacement worked once. Coolermaster acknowledged the problem, but refuses to replace or swap for another coolermaster product. Newegg refused to refund anything or swap either. All in all very frustrating, a lot of lies, so I can't even give it an egg! Other Thoughts: I have never had such a bad time with customer service, coolermaster promised an upgrade to their storm trigger, which apparently they don't make anymore. I already own and use daily 2 quickfire pro keyboards with no issues. The numbers pad must cause a lot of problems!!!!! Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Exactly what I paid for.Pros: I thoroughly researched the types of switch there are and decided red switches were the right type for me. After searching much of the internet this keyboard stood out due to it's price and features. After a week of ownership I can say it has preformed exactly as I hoped it would. Cons: As many others have said it's a tad tedious plugging in the cord. I mean you really gotta jam it in there. (No pun intended) Other Thoughts: I wish it were fully backlit, but I knew it wasn't when I bought it so no biggie. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Nice little keyboard, very responsive, and feels like touchdowns. The red back lighting looks nice with the rest of the system lighting up. Cons: At first the back lighting lock+light key combo wouldn't work but tried again later and it worked. The detachable USB cord at first was a pain in the rear end where it seemed like it was plugged in but wasn't. Every so often there's no power to the keyboard, pushing in the USB shows it's in all the way, a little wiggle/reconnecting brings it back to life. Other Thoughts: It'd be nice that instead of just the left hand side and a few keys at that if the whole keyboard would light up. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: USB input designed in a way that it won't get ripped out - which is a huge problem in the rosewill mech keyboards. Cons: Keys feel like cheap plastic Other Thoughts: I liked my rosewill RK-9000RE more, bought this after RMA gave me a refund instead of a replacement. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great..When it worksPros: -Smooth typing and less finger fatigue Cons: - As noted before in other reviews, the keyboard takes several attempts in order to be recognized by Windows. Cooler Master has not made any attempts to correct the issue. Other Thoughts: Great potential but would not recommend...at all. Knowing that I had to not only be burdened with going to a store and getting a keyboard 1/10th of the cost of this one in order to set up my computer but then be slapped in the face with a constant re-hooking up of the usb cord in an effort to get it to work. A $$$ keyboard should not have ANY issues!! The generic keyboard works everytime! This is my second mechanical keyboard and both have given me issues. First brand had a "repeating key" issue(which was never fixed) and this one has a "works some of the time" issue. I'm giving up on them for now. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
