that's what i love most about boxing. mma guys think its just jab,straight,uppercut,hook. there are millions of variations to each punch. i'll try to find the video someone posted 6 months ago with a cuban national coach talking about how their amateurs train. when he said jab, he wanted them to throw a different jab everytime. step forward jab, backward jab, change levels and jab to the body, slip in any direction and jab, practice parrying and jabbing off it. jabbing to the chest, the marciano uppward jab. best sport there is period.

as far as the hook question, I use both. if im throwing any type of counter/check/lead hook i throw it thumb up. if im inside and want to get more power i will throw the hook palms down as you can turn the hook over more that way.

Most old school coaches teach palm down when in close on the hook. As the hook becomes longer then the palm starts facing you and the thumb comes up. Here is boxing coach Kenny Weldon explaining it, he's an EXCELLENT coach and very well respected. He teaches proper boxing the way it should be taught. Very few are doing it like he is. He even talks about how you come palm up when throwing the left hook to the body which is the way they teach it in Mexico and they know a little something about throwing left hooks in Mexico... Because it's almost like an uppercut to the liver, that's where you want to land that shot. Most coaches teach hitting to the kidney almost. He also talks about weight distribution which is the most important thing in generating power on the hook, another thing most trainers don't teach. I'm surprised how we have gone to the fancy and flashy things in boxing and very few are teaching the proper and fundamental things in boxing like Kenny Weldon.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard on Friday signed a bill allowing teachers to carry guns in school, making his state the first to enact such a law since the Newtown shooting tragedy.
The bill was pushed by gun-rights supporters who say arming teachers could help prevent tragedies like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 students and six educators died. The law, which goes into effect July 1, will allow school districts to arm teachers and other personnel.
But the measure prompted intense debate in the capital, as several representatives of school boards, school administrators and teachers opposed the bill during committee testimony last month. They said the measure could make schools more dangerous, lead to accidental shootings and put guns in the hands of people who are not adequately trained to shoot in emergency situations.
The issue of guns in schools has been a contentious one. The National Rifle Association, several days after the Newtown shooting, proposed installing armed officers or guards in schools across America -- an idea that was met with derision by gun control advocates. Democrats on Capitol Hill in Washington have since moved ahead on gun control legislation, including an anti-trafficking measure that passed out of Senate committee Thursday -- while at the state level, Republican-led states have tried to enhance gun-rights protections.
In South Dakota, main bill sponsor Rep. Scott Craig, R-Rapid City, said earlier this week that he has received messages from a growing number of school board members and administrators who back it. Craig said rural districts do not have the money to hire full-time law officers, so they are interested in arming teachers or volunteers.
South Dakota doesn't stand alone on this issue. For a dozen years, Utah has allowed teachers and others with concealed carry licenses to wear a gun in a public school. A couple of school districts in Texas have been given written authorization to allow guns in schools. And legislatures in other states, including Georgia, New Hampshire and Kansas, are working on measures similar to South Dakota's.
The measure does not force a district to arm its teachers and would not force teachers to carry a gun.

Deaths caused by bedrails. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9215328 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVES: To determine how bedrails cause death in order to suggest clinical and ergonomic changes to prevent such deaths and to promote research to improve the use and design of bed systems. DESIGN: A review of reports of adult deaths and injuries from bedrails contained in the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission Death Certificate File and its Reported Incidents File and its National Injury Information Clearinghouse Accident Investigations from 1993 to 1996. Deaths involving the use of vest restraints were excluded. We reconstructed, reenacted, and have graphically depicted major patterns of deaths. A review of the literature to 1966 was also done. RESULTS: The 74 deaths described are categorized into three types: (1) 70% were entrapments between the mattress and a rail so that the face was pressed against the mattress, (2) 18% were entrapment and compression of the neck within the rails, and (3) 12% were deaths caused by being trapped by the rails after sliding partially off the bed and having the neck flexed or the chest compressed. CONCLUSIONS: Deaths from bedrails are underrecognized and preventable clinical events that can occur in any medical setting. Preventing these events will require a unified redesign of the relationships between rails, mattresses, and beds, which are now often assembled and used as separate products. Clinicians can prevent many of these deaths by using bedrails much more judiciously, confirming the proper relationships between beds, rails and mattresses, and using alarms. |

General Question
Does Paris shut down for Easter?
Asked by zephyr826 (5595
January 15th, 2010
My husband and I are going to Paris for my spring break, to visit my sister (who is studying there this semester) and to spend some time in La Belle France. I am concerned, however, that France, and Paris specifically, might close up to a certain extant in the week following Easter (when we could go). I was there over Christmas when I was in college, and the city virtually shut down – it was worse than August. This won't change our travel plans too much, but I wanted to be prepared. So for all the fluther francophiles, will the city of lights be dark for a few days, or will things be open and available?

First reviewed by Michael
Madeleine is like a diamond in the rough located on the relatively unattractive strip of 23rd street amongst banks, best buys and storefronts CPAs. It's quite unpretentious so you have to keep an eye out for it but once inside it's a no-nonsense French patisserie. Good espresso at decent prices, incredible almond (w/ or w/o chocolate) croissants, and a very good brioche. Apple tartin and chocolate croissants round out the menu. They also have traditional macaroons - shelves of them - and although the filling was a bit heavy (at least compared to La Duree in Paris), still quite delicious. All items made on the premises and they serve lunch as well. Very Bohemian dining area in the back where you can recline on a couch or a communal table. Highly recommended if you are in that part of town.
This is a very cozy place for afternoon tea, with arguably the best French macarons in New York City. In my opinion, they are on a par with Laduree in Paris. The tea is very good, and served in a large cup, but it's really the wooden tables and comfortable sofas, and the macarons that are the main draw.

The canvas is finished with a luster gloss to make it scratch resistant. Arrives ready-to-hang.
Uptown Artworks founder Lori Blum was introduced to vintage bus rolls at an antiques market. She was instantly captivated by their black-and-white aesthetic and exciting decorating potential. Inspired by these rolls, Uptown Artworks reproduces the signs on thick, gallery-wrapped canvas, creating bold wall art for the home, and on complementary pillows every bit as chic.

This is happening to me ever since Season 7. It's particularly annoying when I go to do a ground mission and swap the fleet tribble out for hypos or something, then suddenly in the middle of the battle I realize they're not on my power tray and are unusable.

ATTENTION DEBIT AND CREDIT CARD HOLDERS! In the beginning of September, like many other financial institutions, Norfolk Credit Union received information regarding an illegal data intrusion and card compromise that took place at The Home Depot.

I have read a lot of this happening to people but none seem to be exactly like mine so I want to double check before going further. Last night, I was using my 2.5 year old Macbook and it froze while using Safari. I therefore turned it off and when I rebooted all it did was the chime in the beggining then stoped a grey screen. No keys were working and all I could see was a cursor, I then insert all the 10.4 CD as 10.5 CD's with no luck. Is this a HD fail and therefore do I need a knew one? I am still on warrantly but do to a liquid spill they will charge more than a new hard drive to check it out so if I can verify it is a HD fail then it will just save me money to buy one and install myself. Any help, comments? |

You didn't say whether or not you could boot the machine from either the Tiger or Leopard DVD? Did you try?
Usually when the HDD fails, a folder with a question mark will appear on the screen. In the meantime, try resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. Link Regards. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you have to hold down on "c" while startup chime is going.

Did you get this problem fixed. I have the same problem and would like to know how to fix it. My Macbook starts up, the chime rings, blank white screen - no apple logo, I can hear a whirring noise (from the HD?), none of the key works. Tried booting from (grey) OS install disk 1 (version 10.5.4) that came with the computer, but no success. Reset PRAM, etc. Only thing that "works" is I get a cursor arrow when I start up while pressing the "Option" key.
Thoughts anyone? Thanks. |

pull the battery and hold the power button down for 5 seconds.
Put battery back in and hold down p, r, cmd, ctrl (or is it alt) then turn the power on. Once the thing turns on if it's still not working close the screen and force it into sleep. then pull it out of sleep. See if that works, and let us know. |

Håvard Stensvold (Bass-Baritone)
Born: December 11, 1971 - Oslo, Norway
The Norwegian bass-baritone, Håvard Stensvold, began his interest for singing very early. Already at a very early age he was singing soprano with the Norwegian boys choir Sølvguttene. He studied from 1994 at the Royal Opera Academy in Copenhagen with Professor Susanna Eken, and from 1998 in the soloist class at the Royal Danish Music Conservatory. He graduated in the summer of 2000. Among his teachers were also Ingrid Bjoner and Håkan Hagegård.

Next Android mobile software version dubbed 'KitKat'
SAN FRANCISCO – Google on Tuesday said the next version of Android will be called "KitKat" in keeping with its penchant for giving tasty names to its software for powering mobile devices.
"Since these devices make our lives so sweet, each Android version is named after a dessert," the California-based technology titan said in a blog post.chocolate
"As everyone finds it difficult to stay away from chocolate we decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favorite chocolate treats."
The list of Android software names over the years includes Cupcake, Donut, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean.
In a promotion deal, Google is enticing people with chances to win Android-powered Nexus 7 tablets or credit at its online Play shop by buying KitKat candy bars featuring Android robot icons on wrappers.
Android software powers more than a billion smartphones or tablets worldwide, according to Google.
Smartphones powered by Google's Android software increased their global market share as iPhones lost ground in the absence of new models being unleashed by Apple, the International Data Corporation reported last month.
Android's share of the smartphone market grew to 79.3 percent in the second quarter while that of iPhone slipped to 13.2 percent from 16.6 percent in the same three-month period last year, according to IDC figures.
Apple is "well positioned" to recapture market share with the release later this year of a new iPhone and the next-generation iOS mobile operating system, according to IDC mobile phone research team manager Ramon Llamas.
Apple on Tuesday sent out invitations to a September 10 event at its California headquarters where new iPhones models were expected to be unveiled.
KitKat is a chocolate-covered wafer created by British-based Rowntree's, now produced worldwide by Nestle.

ATLANTA, Ga.--Interface, Inc., the world's largest commercial carpet manufacturer, once dumped hundreds of gallons of wastewater and some 900 tons of pollutants each year. However, an effort begun in the mid-1990s to cut waste and decrease harmful emissions has saved the company $144 million over the last six years.
Interface's efforts are no longer uncommon in Corporate America. Research shows that environmental stewardship decreases a company's operating costs and attracts customers concerned with the environment. The result can also be enhanced stock prices.
According to University of Oregon professor Michael Russo, "environmentally sound companies are financially healthier companies." Russo is coauthor of a study comparing companies' environmental performance to profitability.
Russo, together with Paul Fouts of Golden State University, followed 243 Fortune 500 companies for two years. Keeping track of their environmental records, the researchers found that firms with the highest returns on their assets had built reputations of going above and beyond their competitors in pollution control or waste reduction.
Similarly, a recent Vanderbilt University study found that eight times out of 10 environmentally sound companies outperform their higher-polluting counterparts. One reason, says Russo, "If you're less wasteful, you're probably running a lean operation."
Some companies have taken the cost-effectiveness of environmentalism to new corporate levels, even revamping business approaches. Xerox Corporation now leases many of its products so it can recycle parts and reduce pollution.
Interface CEO Ray Anderson says it pays to be green. "We're saving money and winning business," he says. As an example, he points to a recent sales meeting at a hotel resort in Hawaii. There, Interface workers devised a way to cut the hotel's propane and water consumption by half. Interface was later awarded a million-dollar contract to supply the resort's carpets.
Interface (www.interfaceinc.com) is the largest commercial carpet manufacturer in the world. Headquartered in Atlanta, Interface has manufacturing locations on four continents and offices in more than 100 countries.

Privacy advocates last month jumped on a story out of Texas when they learned that the state's Department of Public Safety was taking full sets of fingerprints as citizens renewed their driver's licenses.
"Really. Quietly, earlier this year, the Texas Department of Public Safety began requiring full sets of fingerprints from everyone who obtains a new driver's license or photo identification card. This applies to those who come in as required for periodic renewals, but it doesn't apply to mail-in renewals," Dave Lieber wrote for the Dallas Morning News.
"Until now, if a person never got arrested, most likely his or her fingerprints would never get recorded and placed in a government database," Lieber continued in his "Watchdog" column.

Most Recent Reviews
11/20/2012This is the 2nd IOGEAR wireless keyboard i bought. It sets up in a flash and works great!
Best buy and best vendor
11/19/2012This is the best keyboard/trackball combo for wireless connectivity to HDTVs, etc. Trackball serves as mouse and works with every component I've tried.
Carl from Bellevue, NE
Great performace but bad hardware
4/18/2012I got this keyboard about 6 months ago. I was extremely easy to setup and use. Just plugged in the USB receiver into my Win 7 laptop, put in the batteries into the keyboard, connected with the USB and I was up and away. I was able to use it for about 2 months and then I started having problems with the USB. It would often not connect with the keyboard what ever the range. I tried the USB receiver on two different laptops and had the exact same problem. I have been looking for a replacement receiver everywhere but could not find it anywhere. I need to buy the whole thing incuding the keyboard. Very disappointed with this.
Perfect HTPC keyboard
3/29/2012I bought one for my HTPC in the greatroom over a year ago and now bought a second for the HTPC in our bedroom. I've tried small and larger keyboards and have found this to be the perfect size and the trackball work faultlessly.
Great Small Media Center Keyboard
3/26/2012I originally ordered this keyboard for a guy in a wheelchair, to Velcro to the chair tray. When I got it I immediately ordered one for myself. I use it in the living room to control the multimedia PC connected to our flat screen HD TV. It is very easy to hang on to and the keys are actually a little larger than my conventional KB. I also like that it is heavy enough to stay in place and doesn't move around when typing on it.
Dale Schroeder from Waupaca, WI
Great for PVR
1/25/2012I use this for the PC hooked up to the TV. It works great! From the couch. The batteries last at least three months for me with regular use. The usb connector is small and doesn't stick out to far. In the time that I have owned this keyboard, I have never had to manually sync it. It just works.D
D from Memphis, TN
Very Happy
12/24/2011I am using it to control a computer that displays on my 55" LCD TV. It isn't perfect, but it is very close. The range is great. I can control a computer in a seperate room, 20' away, through a wall. Trackball and buttons are fine for surfing, general computing, anything short of graph design or cad use this is fine. I love the auto off feature, it has saved my batteries twice. I do agree it would be useful to have a place, on the keyboard to store the USB dongle, when the keyboard is not in use.
Mike from Howell, NJ
Love it
11/28/2011I bought it for my technologically challanged parents and with few tries they got used to it. Now they find it harder going back to their old separate wireless keyboad and wireless mouse. I highly recommend it to all.
Great Keyboard for MC
7/19/2011This is a perfect keyboard for Microsoft Media Center Computers that are hooked up to a large High Definition Televisions. It has a built in track ball so there isn't a seperate mouse to lose. There are buttons at the top for controlling volume and other common things that you would change frequently when using Media Center. Great Compact Keyboard. Love the built in mouse!
Works Great in Ubuntu!
7/7/2011This keyboard is exactly what I needed. I got tired of trying to type more than two words on my Adesso WKB-3000UB. The Adesso worked well enough, but typing on it for more than 2 minutes would give my finger joints a pounding. The IOGear keyboard, in contrast, is much easier on the fingers. I can type for much longer periods of time without cramping up. It functions on the same RF frequency as the Adesso so range is pretty much the same. The IOGear keyboard is definitely much better looking than the Adesso, although the glossy top and bottom panels are fingerprint magnets so it's good they included a cleaning cloth for it. The scroll wheel, clickers, and trackball perform really well and are placed in intuitive places. And last but not least, for all you Linux users; this works flawlessly on Ubuntu intrepid and jaunty.
pointam from Houston
Great value for your buck
7/7/2011Before getting this unit I have tried several others (logitech) and I have problems with lack of power in the signal anytime I get no more than 10 feet the keyboard started to skip letters, not obeying commands, delays, etc. I got this little unit and all those problems went away. The scroll mouse requires a little bit of time to get used to it but it is very ligth weight and you get used to it in not time. Also you don't have a separate mouse you can put this thing in your lap, table, pillow and it works like a charm. Also it has a turn off and on button so you can save batteries when no using it by turn it off. It also has a battery indicator. Keys are soft and easy to type on. Overall a great value. I have my computer at 10 feet of the keyboard i haven't try yet to be farer than that but it works for me.
Jay from Dallas, TX
Great Wireless keyboard
4/18/2011Nice piece of gadget. Very light weight and fully functional like a full fledged keyboard. Use with with my laptop that's hooked to my TV hence can control what's shows I am watching and also can chat or send mail without leaving my couch... People tend to get other devices to hook up with the TV to get internet content ... that's a personal choice... but I wanted much functionality which a laptop can provide... This device worked straight out of the box... I have Windows XP... Could have used a separate wireless keyboard but this is keyboard + mouse rolled into one. Great gadget for a nice price.
Biswa from San Jose, CA
Perfect keyboard for those who don't use a desk!
2/8/2011I purchased this keyboard because I prefer to type anywhere other than a desk. I use it with my desktop computer with large monitor (also from Buy.com) aross the room. This keyboard easily controls Netflix and other streaming, music; also great for word processing, etc. I have had no issues with the track ball and have been using it for about 3 months now. As a bonus, I use it with my PS3 when I need to do setup. Easy, reliable ... a great investment!
Kat from Durham, NC
Amazing gadget!
2/1/2011Combine the mouse and the keyboard into a solid unit that helps users get rid of additional pieces (separate mouse, long cables, etc) its a genius idea. 2 of my friends got it too, w/ a gift from Iogear (usb hub), lucky them. I'd suggest maybe a couple of LEDs for Caps Lock and Power, but besides that, great gadget.
Carlos from New York
good keyboard
1/19/2011The keyboard is very good, light. Only one thing that I suggest the manufacture should make one button for "Stand By" or "Sleep" option.
A customer from td
Great for HTPC, jumpy trackball
1/19/2011Just like most the other comments, this is a great deal ($25 after rebate). It is a solid piece of hardware, doesn't feel flimsy at all. The only issue like others posted is the trackball leaves a bit to be desired. Although it offers "3 resolutions", it goes from 'too-slow' to 'too-fast'. Not a huge issue, esp. for the value. Took a little getting used to type on the keyboard, but many other keyboards do. I'm running this on a MacBook Pro. Just plugged and played with a two-button setup so the computer could recognize the buttons (I just had to press the buttons on the inside of each shift key one at a time and I was all set.)
James O from Hartford, WI
Great little HTPC keyboard.
1/18/2011Great keyboard for HTPC setup, quick initial setup, good size and works well. The trackball does seem a bit unsubstantial as others have mentioned and this can at times be annoying but it still functions well. After extensive research for a keyboard only (without mouse) for an HTPC, this seemed like the best combination between quality and price; I am not disappointed and happy with my choice/purchase. Paid ~$25-$30 after rebate.
Nicolas from Santa Barbara, CA
IOGEAR 2.4GHz keyboard/mouse combo
1/18/2011This device exceeded my expectations. The size is about right for lap or arm of chair, and the performance is tops. No set-up required. It works with my Windows Vista laptop and with PS3 (doesn't replace certain PS3 controller functions). The mouse is very easy to use with trackball on upper right corner and buttons and scroll on left corner. Lots of other keys I doubt I'll ever use. This replaced a laser mouse which worked very well but had to rely on virtual keyboard. In the past, using a wireless mouse with a wireless keyboard always gave me problems. This all-in-one solves that problem. I haven't had it very long, but for the special Buy.com price ($20. rebate), I am thrilled with this device.
Anne from Okeechobee, FL
Practical and Good
1/8/2011With the mouse function built in the keyboard it is very practical for couch potatoes like me. The track ball works well once you learn the right touch.
Jim S from Berkeley Heights, NJ
Works straight out of the box and across the room
1/3/2011Bought this for my HTPC and was up and running in under a minute. Works from about 50 feet away with a direct line of sight. Trackball is smooth and unit is easy to hold and use at the same time.
A customer from NC
Overall its not a bad keyboard/mouse
12/28/2010It sure beats using a seperate mouse and keyboard for the htpc. Sitting about 12 feet from the reciever and the wireless performance is excellent. My only complaint about this keyboard is the track ball. It sits a little loose in its socket which allows it to move side to side a little. Its not a major problem but is a small annoyance that iogear could have avoided.
Shane from Oklahoma
Great for a HTPC
12/23/2010This keyboard/trackball setup works great for a HTPC but the keybord is limited by clock speed in reference to the typing speed. I have not had an issue with the battery life but I have had an issue with the placement of the transmitting antenna being on the back of the keyboard. When the keyboard is laying on RF absorptive material the effectiveness of the keyboard is significantly reduced. Overall I would rate this as a good keyboard for a HTPC.
zozmus from Dearborn, MI
Good but has room for improvement
12/21/2010Nice and easy to use. Track ball is not always smooth and sometimes jumps, but not too often. No place to store the receiver on keyboard when not using it. Even wireless mice have built in storage slots. Otherwise it has some good features.
Jim from Whippany, NJ
Just what I needed
12/21/2010Love this gadget. Using a two hands mouse is actually a nice touch. I can now use my wide LCD TV as a large mega-pixel display from the comfort of my reclining chair. The transition from holding/mousing to typing is a bit odd as you have to drop the keyboard on your lap. Keys a a bit "hard" to push for speed typing, but I assume they'll soften up in a while. Great value overall.
Pepe Lepew from Kingston, NY
Great HTPC Keyboard
12/20/2010This keyboard works great. The size is perfect. The buttons on the left are convenient as is the scroll wheel. It take a little getting used too, but once you do it is great. The trackball is a little loose and seems a bit flimsy, but it does not effect performance. Installation was a breeze on Win 7.
RBB from Middletown, CT
Great keyboard
12/20/2010We have had the keyboard over a month now and it has worked flawlessly. I am using in in combination with a laptop connected to my TV. The range is perfect, the trackball and scroll wheel just work. Had no problems setting it up with XP. We may get another one for the bedroonm
A customer from Liberty, NC
I'm very happy with this keyboard
12/14/2010I bought this keyboard to replace an XGene keyboard that was terrible. This keyboard first and foremost works. The Xgene constantly lost connection and was unresponsive. This one works nearly as well as a wired keyboard. I like the feel of the keys and also the feel of the trackball. The trackball is smooth but offers just enough resistance to help you maintain control. The left and right mouse buttons also have a very nice feel. The only complaint I have is that the scroll wheel is not great. It's too slippery and hard to turn. A rougher surface would make a world of difference. A number pad would also be a very nice addition but that would necessarily make it larger. Overall this is a great keyboard if your look for a keyboard/trackball combo that will work in a small space. Large enough for everyday use, yet small enough to fit in a smaller space than a normal keyboard. It is well worth the money.
A customer from Milwaukee, WI
Good enough
12/13/2010Works well with a computer inside wood cabinet, and yes it is vented. No problems with reception. Easy to use on the lap. Works well for the price, and the buttons do seem cheap, but like I said, good enough.
Rob from Dayton,OH
Versatile keyboard
11/22/2010Purchased for use between my PC and TV. Keyboard has great reception between my devises and works just as well on the couch in front of my TV in the other room. Trac-ball seemed a little stiff a first, but loosened up after minimal use and feels perfect now. This keyboard is a great addition to any networked home and is comfortable to use with the scroll wheel, mouse buttons and trac-ball located perfectly. This was exactly what I was looking for.
Sven from Grand Rapids, MI
Great product
11/22/2010I bought this to work with my desktop connected to the TV. This is a wonderful compact keyboard and mouse combo.
A customer from Mechanicsburg, PA
Perfect for Family Room Computer connected to TV,
11/21/2010I use the keyboard with a computer connected to my 50" plasma TV. It is a substantial improvement over Microsoft Media Center IR based keybaord I had earlier. No need to point the keybaord to the Computer. Mouse control is great and precise. The scroll wheel is very useful for scrolling through emails, web pages etc. The only negatives are the small arrows, which double as page up/down/home/end buttons. The keyboard is easy to hold and type in lap. Allows you to setup power saving mode as any click on the keyboard wakes up the computer. Definitely recommend to anyone planning to use this on the couch with screen projected on a TV. I have also tried it on the table and it is easy enough for use for a desktop too. Buy.com price really makes it worth buying.
shahwave from Boston, MA
Great product
11/20/2010This is what I was looking for - a wireless keyboard and mouse combo serving long range. Initially found it little different after using mouse for many years. But, now even my 4 year old son can use this very fast.
A customer from Mechanicsburg, PA
Does exactly what it needs to do
11/15/2010I brought this on sale for a very competitive price. I have a MIDI controller at home between me and my laptop so this makes using said MIDI controller much easier. Plus gives me more mobility if I want hook my laptop to my TV and sit on the couch watching hulu or netflix.
Brad from Saratoga Springs, NY
Not the greatest keyboard
10/26/2010The price is right but the trackball is plastic and cheap feeling. I like the design of the keyboard but my keyboard must have gotten a piece of dust or sand in a bad spot or something because half the time when I click on something, it does a click drag. Drives me absolutely insane!! The keys on the keyboard have a good "laptop" feel and the overall weight and feel of the keyboard is good, I think I just got a defective one. I'm going to attempt to send it back to the manufacturer.
Tony from Green Bay, WI
Works Great
10/10/2010Worked out of the box and doesn't interfere with my wireless network!
A customer from Atlanta, GA
Great Keyboard
10/8/2010For a HTPC, it works great. It even has a scroll wheel that you can press and becomes the fast scroll option. It takes a little while to get used to. You mouse with your right thumb and left/right click with your left thumb. I picked it up inside 2 minutes. My wife took a couple days. The only complaint is that when I use the left click mouse button, 1 out of 10 clicks the cursor moves to the right about 2 inches. Weird and it's not a PC issue. The keyboard and mouse worked great before installing this. Maybe a firmware update is needed, but that would require me to care. It's just for movies. No biggie (fry).
XrayMan69 from Brunswick, MD
Sending Back My 2nd One!
10/7/2010It's the perfect shape/size HTPC keyboard. Too bad it doesn't work properly. My first one acted up on day one but my second one took a couple months before it started going on the fritz. I am probably just the rare exception that gets 2 faulty products. I will know for sure when my third one comes.
TBone from San Diego, CA
Good Keyboard for HTPC Use
10/4/2010Needed a keyboard to control Dell Windows XP PC in next room from couch in family room. The Iogear 2 did such a good job that I ordered a second unit for our other HTPC setup in our bedroom. The unit even works from the kitchen next to our family room, ever 20 feet away. Only minor problem, as others have noted, is that trackball can be a little spastic, but not a problem when used for HTPC purposes (but wouldn't use as main keyboard at computer position). Buy.com special deal price was very good, and delivery very fast.
Frank from Hillsborough, NJ
Very Good
9/29/2010This is a significant improvement over the previous wireless multimedia keyboard/trackball. It is very good but not perfect. Occasionally, I have to reboot the keyboard by turning it off/on. I wish it had a lighted board since I use it in my Media Room and it is often dark. Also, there is no button for Windows MCE. Trackball could be better. Still a GOOD VALUE for the price.
Sam-I-am from Miami
Excellent HTPC keyboard - almost perfect
9/27/2010This really is an excellent product and at the sale price it was a tremendous value. The keyboard looks great and is very solid. The keys work very nicely and the mouse buttons and scroll wheel are great. I use it about 20 feet from my PC and haven't had any issues with the connection. It is very responsive with no missed key strokes or button clicks. The quick buttons are very useful. The one thing that could be improved is the trackball. It is a bit too small and light and made of a smooth plastic. Sometimes it gets a little stuck and because it's smooth your thumb slides over it instead of rolling it. If that one thing was improved it would be a perfect keyboard.
Gib from Mendham, NJ
Hands Down The Best Value for Home Theatre
9/27/2010The perfect keyboard for your home theatre system. I have two of these units. Great range, nice control with the trackball and conveniently located mouse buttons allow for easy use on the couch. On/Off switch saves batteries and prevents children from hitting buttons during recordings or sensitive operations. Plus, comes with a tiny usb receiver that can be hidden. Not designed for desktop use.
Home Theatre Addict from Minneapolis, MN
Simply beautiful
9/27/2010Worked without a flaw from the very first moment I plugged the little connector into the USB port. Mouse works very well, and so does the keyboard. Very good range. Couldn't be happier.
Cat from Manchester, CT
Good, not great. On par with what I expected, giv
9/27/2010I bought this based on the fairly positive reviews and of course the price. My requirements for an HTPC keyboard were that it be wireless, have extra media control keys, and have a trackball and mouse buttons built in. The range has been adequate for my living room. I had to decrease the mouse sensitivity in Windows from the defaults. Haven't tried it under Linux yet. My only complaints (and they are minor) is that the volume keys are opposite of what you might expect (increase volume is to the left of decrease volume), and a few extra keys for programming would have been nice to have. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this keyboard (at least at the $40 sale price I paid).
Kevin from Smyrna, GA
Perfect keyboard & mouse combo...
9/21/2010This is a very good keyboard and mouse combo, didn't even realize that I am using a new product. It was as easy as plug n play. Excellent!!
Manoj from Pittsburgh, PA
Best keyboard for HTPC Period!!!
9/8/2010I've owned a few wireless keyboards with trackball for my htpc and this by far is the best one yet. Not only does it look great but it performs great. Some other keyboards will end up missing a few typed letters and some you literally have to type very slow in order for it to register, not this one. To be able to change the dpi so easily for the trackball is a big plus. The only thing I would change about this keyboard is have a left click button on the edge of the keyboard that would face your screen right in front of the trackball like I had on my other keyboard. Great buy.
Mike from New York
Excellent! IOGEAR 2.4GHz Multimedia Keyboard with
8/25/2010I bought this for a computer I use in the living room as a media center. Key thing is to be able to use this on the laptop sitting on the sofa. Works great. Wireless range is good. I use it about 12 feet from the television. The trackball is easy and the layout of the ball and buttons are pretty intuitive. I'm not sure if it'll be good if you're left handed, though. Bottom line. It works great for the job I bought it for and is a good value.
Ken from Pacifica, California
Good, but not great
8/25/2010I purchased this as a spare keyboard for occasional use with a game console, setting up new systems, or if my primary HTPC keyboard goes belly up. I tested it on my desktop for a day. The keyboard is fine. I like the layout of the trackball and mouse buttons but the trackball is very unpleasant to use. I am usually pretty comfortable with them. But this one does not have smooth motion at all. It feels like plastic sliding on plastic. I'm happy with it as a backup but I would go nuts if this was my primary keyboard.
Glenn from Plymouth, MN
excelelnt keyboard
8/21/2010Kybd has ON/OFF switch in the back so I know when to turn off to save the 2AA batteries life; "One of a kind" high quailty, easy to type, easy to control the mouse tracking ball, perfect for my xbox when I am chatting, or I take it w/me at work within 15 feet away from desk while I see planes landing and taking off. I work for airport controller and needed this keyboard for performance and reliability. Thanks for the quickest ground service at buy.com cause I bought it ON SALE with FREE SHIPPING.I am a happy returning customer always LOYAL to BUY.COM
Julio from La Guardia Tower, New York City, New York
Good Tech for Media Center
5/27/2010I purchased this for my media center and for using it as such it works great. It is small enough to hide away and not be bulky when it's out and the range is long enough that I don't have to worry about it. However I burn through batteries for some reason, so I would recommend getting some rechargeable AA's. The Track ball mouse can be touchy at times and when you go to click it jumps all over the place. This is usually my sign when the battery is getting low. I've used this device on Mac, Windows and Linux and it works great on each.
multimedia keyboard of value
5/3/2010I've researched a bunch of these keyboards before deciding on this one. I really wanted a touchpad like my laptop but alas none of them have good reviews and are expensive. I think this keyboard serves my purpose except for a few issues. 1. the track ball is not smooth and could be better designed. 2. the multimedia buttons are small and a bit too close together for my fingers. 3. the multimedia buttons work on some software not all. 4. the cursor buttons sometimes get locked up and you need to hit them multiple times. This could be computer related. 5. The keyboard is a little too narrow for my lap. If it were about 2-3 inches wider it would be perfect. 5. the right shift key is smaller than any keyboard ive used. Easy to miss. 6. keys are not backlit. The good points: 1. Cheap. 2. Well made with good heft. 3. Has a good auto power shut off to save batteries and a low battery indicator. One set of batteries has lasted 3 weeks so far. 4. Seems durable after one drop. 5. I like the scroll wheel, it's just like the one found on a mouse. 6. small transmitter, my last wireless keyboard had a big clunk of xmitter. 7. tactile feel is pretty good considering no keyboard has come close to my old ibm keyboard. I think this is a great buy. I got it on sale at buy.com.

The study, sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, will focus on the control and prevention of foreign and emerging diseases in cloven-hoofed animals, such as beef cattle, swine, sheep, goats and deer. "Beginning mid-September, we mailed more than 500 surveys to producers and operators in a nine-county area of Central Texas, requesting information vital to our research," said Dr. Bo Norby, primary investigator for the study. "So far, only a little more than 90 of the surveys have been filled out and returned." Researchers are asking those who received the survey to fill it out and return it by mid-November so the study can proceed on schedule. Surveys have been sent to producers in Uvalde, Medina, Bandera, Real, Edwards, Kinney, Maverick, Zavala and Frio counties. Participants are asked to provide operational information such as acreage, number of animals, property characteristics and number of employees. "It's very important that we get as many responses as possible from these producers," said Norby. "They are closest to the situation and can provide the most valuable data from which to learn about how animal diseases may be transmitted." Animal disease outbreaks, such as the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom, are cause for concern from both a social and economic standpoint, he said. "The foot-and-mouth outbreak cost the agriculture industry in the U.K. more than $5 billion," he said. "And while very different, BSE, more commonly called mad cow disease' and the recent concern with avian flu also demonstrate the importance of getting the best possible data for analyzing and preventing the spread of animal diseases." A follow-up survey has been sent to producers who responded, Norby said. "This second survey asks for additional information related to where their livestock came from and the livestock travel distance to and from their ranches," he said. "It will only take five to 10 minutes to fill in." The study will help us determine the frequency of animal contact, the density and distribution of animal populations, seasonal changes in livestock management and other possible factors in disease transmission, Norby added. "That way we can produce better disease models and more effective methods of prevention and control," he said. For more information, producers in the study area can call a local Extension agent, Dr. Brandon Dominguez at (979) 845-4194, or Norby at (979) 845-3135. why would they want to participate$ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FDA, which is responsible for the safety of animal feed, immediately began an investigation. On Friday and throughout the weekend, FDA investigators inspected the slaughterhouse, the rendering facility, the farm where the animal came from, and the processor that initially received the cow from the slaughterhouse. FDA's investigation showed that the animal in question had already been rendered into "meat and bone meal" (a type of protein animal feed). Over the weekend FDA was able to track down all the implicated material. That material is being held by the firm, which is cooperating fully with FDA. Cattle with central nervous system symptoms are of particular interest because cattle with bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE, also known as "mad cow disease," can exhibit such symptoms. In this case, there is no way now to test for BSE. But even if the cow had BSE, FDA's animal feed rule would prohibit the feeding of its rendered protein to other ruminant animals (e.g., cows, goats, sheep, bison). FDA is sending a letter to the firm summarizing its findings and informing the firm that FDA will not object to use of this material in swine feed only. If it is not used in swine feed, this material will be destroyed. Pigs have been shown not to be susceptible to BSE. If the firm agrees to use the material for swine feed only, FDA will track the material all the way through the supply chain from the processor to the farm to ensure that the feed is properly monitored and used only as feed for pigs. To protect the U.S. against BSE, FDA works to keep certain mammalian protein out of animal feed for cattle and other ruminant animals. FDA established its animal feed rule in 1997 after the BSE epidemic in the U.K. showed that the disease spreads by feeding infected ruminant protein to cattle. Under the current regulation, the material from this Texas cow is not allowed in feed for cattle or other ruminant animals. FDA's action specifying that the material go only into swine feed means also that it will not be fed to poultry. FDA is committed to protecting the U.S. from BSE and collaborates closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on all BSE issues. The animal feed rule provides crucial protection against the spread of BSE, but it is only one of several such firewalls. FDA will soon be improving the animal feed rule, to make this strong system even stronger. #### http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/news/2004/NEW01061.html FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: On Dec. 23, 2003, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that a cow in Washington state had tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or mad cow disease). As a result, information on this Web page stating that no BSE cases had been found in the United States is now incorrect. However, because other information on this page continues to have value, the page will remain available for viewing. FDA ANNOUNCES TEST RESULTS FROM TEXAS FEED LOT FDA has determined that each animal could have consumed, at most and in total, five-and-one-half grams - approximately a quarter ounce -- of prohibited material. These animals weigh approximately 600 pounds. It is important to note that the prohibited material was domestic in origin (therefore not likely to contain infected material because there is no evidence of BSE in U.S. cattle), fed at a very low level, and fed only once. The potential risk of BSE to such cattle is therefore exceedingly low, even if the feed were contaminated. According to Dr. Bernard Schwetz, FDA's Acting Principal Deputy Commissioner, "The challenge to regulators and industry is to keep this disease out of the United States. One important defense is to prohibit the use of any ruminant animal materials in feed for other ruminant animals. Combined with other steps, like U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) ban on the importation of live ruminant animals from affected countries, these steps represent a series of protections, to keep American cattle free of BSE." Despite this negligible risk, Purina Mills, Inc., is nonetheless announcing that it is voluntarily purchasing all 1,222 of the animals held in Texas and mistakenly fed the animal feed containing the prohibited material. Therefore, meat from those animals will not enter the human food supply. FDA believes any cattle that did not consume feed containing the prohibited material are unaffected by this incident, and should be handled in the beef supply clearance process as usual. FDA believes that Purina Mills has behaved responsibly by first reporting the human error that resulted in the misformulation of the animal feed supplement and then by working closely with State and Federal authorities. This episode indicates that the multi-layered safeguard system put into place is essential for protecting the food supply and that continued vigilance needs to be taken, by all concerned, to ensure these rules are followed routinely. FDA will continue working with USDA as well as State and local officials to ensure that companies and individuals comply with all laws and regulations designed to protect the U.S. food supply. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2001/NEW00752.html actually, as little as 1 mg (or 0.001 gm) caused 7% (1 of 14) of the cows to come down with BSE. Published online January 27, 2005 http://image.thelancet.com/ extras/05let1056web.pdf Commissariat à lEnergie Atomique/Direction des Sciences du Vivant/Départment de Recherche Médicale, 18 Route du Panorama, 92265 Fontenay-aux-Roses, France (C I Lasmézas DrMedVet, E Comoy DrMedVet, Risk of oral infection with bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent in primates Corinne Ida Lasmézas, Emmanuel Comoy, Stephen Hawkins, Christian Herzog, Franck Mouthon, Timm Konold, Frédéric Auvré, Evelyne Correia, Nathalie Lescoutra-Etchegaray, Nicole Salès, Gerald Wells, Paul Brown, Jean-Philippe Deslys The uncertain extent of human exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)which can lead to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD)is compounded by incomplete knowledge about the ef.ciency of oral infection and the magnitude of any bovine-to-human biological barrier to transmission. We therefore investigated oral transmission of BSE to non-human primates. We gave two macaques a 5 g oral dose of brain homogenate from a BSE-infected cow. One macaque developed vCJD-like neurological disease 60 months after exposure, whereas the other remained free of disease at 76 months. On the basis of these .ndings and data from other studies, we made a preliminary estimate of the food exposure risk for man, which provides additional assurance that existing public health measures can prevent transmission of BSE to man. snip...tss

I typically add at least one gun per year to my collection, and looking for good suggestions based on the experience of forum members here, as to what would be a good addition. My current collection is: Walther P22 S&W bodyguard .380 Glock 26 Glock 23 Colt lawman 4" .357 Marlin 60 .22lr S&W m&P AR - 15 Remington 700 .308 rifle Mossberg 500 12 gauge Remington 12 gauge I am wanting to add another semi auto pistol of some sort. More for range use and accuracy. I know a good 1911 would be a nice addition. I did have a Taurus PT1911 and it was junk. I do want something that us more reasonable to shoot with the ammunition prices. Maybe a nice full size 9mm? Any suggestions ?

I like my Beretta 92, I don't shoot it often but its a good range gun. A little bulky to carry. I also have the Taurus knock off, the finish isn't holding up as well and I replaced the locking block early on, but it shoots better IMHO. Both will take whatever I feed them. Personally I love revolvers. I got into cowboy action a few years back, and have been adding single actions since. I'm finally biting the bullet and buying a true Colt SAA, I found one last week and put it on layaway I plan to pick it up in about three weeks.
You need a Calico. ANY of them will do Once you get one, its like having a Yamaha V-Max...nothing else quite measures up
Calico Specialist Marlin Specialist I'm not just Trigger Happy, I'm Trigger Ecstatic!!
I'm going to take a seriously long look at that new Bersa polymer 9mm.....BMP9 22, or something that. $350 bucks and it seems like a decent gun.
I'd say you need a 1911. Or maybe a S&W .44mag revolver.
I just lucked into an 84 Benz. I wonder if I could trade that for a 1911? That would be sweet.
Looking at your list, I'd say you need a lever-action rifle - maybe a 30/30 or something in .45 colt or a Marlin or Henry .22 . . . As for 9mm pistols, I shot an HK USP many years ago and really liked the way that felt.
