The election of Chokwe Lumumba as the Democratic nominee for Jackson mayor has got everybody talking about race. That's not a good thing.
If I'm not mistaken, white Republican northeast Jackson voted overwhelmingly for the blacker of the two candidates. So exactly how can this be about race?
It is not about race. It is about political ideology. This is not about white versus black. it is about Republican versus Democrat.

Puerto Rico statute prohibits marriage between same-sex couples.
See 29 L.P.R.A §146.
Puerto Rico's discrimination laws do not cover sexual orientation and gender identity. See Santa v. B. Fernandez, 438 F. Supp. 2d 33 (D.P.R. 2006) (employment discrimination claim on the basis of sexual orientation dismissed because neither Puerto Rican nor federal law prohibit sexual orientation discrimination). See also 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1).
Discrimination on the basis of HIV status is prohibited under Puerto Rican law. See 1 L.P.R.A §521, and 1 L.P.R.A § 522, et. seq. ("Bill of Rights for Carriers of HIV/AIDS" establishing affirmative rights for persons living with HIV).
An executive order that applies only to public state employees prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity was signed in 2008, but it has never been enforced. See http://app.estado.gobierno.pr/Ordenes_Ejecutivas/2008/OE-2008-57.pdf.

New Providence Island Attractions
New Providence, better known for the main city of Nassau, encompasses 80 sq.mi. / 207 sq.km with an east-west length of roughly 20 miles / 30km.
Nassau, Bahamas
Situated on the northeast coast of New Providence Island, the city of Nassau is named after William of Orange-Nassau who became king of England in 1688. Nassau's colonial heritage remains in a number of old forts, pastel-colored buildings, and some lovingly restored grand hotels. It is the capital of the Bahamas.This is the place where visitors come to experience city life in the islands.
Prince George Wharf
Situated on the northeast coast of New Providence island, the city is named after William of Orange-Nassau who became king of England in 1688. Nassau's colonial heritage remains in a number of old forts, pastel-colored buildings, and some lovingly restored grand hotels. It is the capital of the Bahamas.Nassau Harbor, protected by Paradise Island, has seen a growth in cruise ship traffic, and Prince George Wharf can take six of the behemoths at a time. The beauty of the port is that visitors disembark within walking distance of the heart of the historic old town. The best days to observe cruise ships are Friday through Sunday and Tuesday.For those who like observing today's city-size ships, the town offers many vistas, especially from Woodes Rogers Walk, the promenade along the port which runs parallel to Bay Street. Woodes Rogers is also where the horse and carriage drivers line up to give rides throughout the downtown and where a hair braiding center caters to those wanting such a hair style. Taxis and a ferry to Paradise Island are also found along Woodes Rogers Walk.
Horse Drawn Carriage Rides
One way of seeing the city of Nassau is by caleche (horse drawn carriage) which line up at the stand beside the cruise ship docks.
Nassau to Paradise Island Ferry Service
Ferries run daily between a point on Woodes Rogers Walk roughly opposite Frederick Street to Paradise Island. Water taxis and charters are also alternatives.
Downtown & Bay Street
Some of the best duty free shopping is found at Downtown and Bay Streets in Nassau. Many shops line the streets catering to the numerous cruise ship passengers.
Highlights: |
Paradise Island
Paradise Island is home to the massive Atlantis Resort as well as numerous other hotel complexes. Also on the island are a few private homes and a lighthouse.
Highlights: |
Junkanoo Parade
Junkanoo are annual parades held on Boxing Day (December 26) and/or New Year's Day depending on the specific island. In Nassau, Junkanoo is held on both days plus Independence Day (July 10).The celebration dates back to the days of slavery when slave owners, including one named John Canoe (which was corrupted into Junkanoo), gave their slaves these holidays off.The parades consist of costumes similar to those worn in Carnivals plus drumming on everything from goat skin drums to cowbells. The costumes are so elaborate that when one parade is over, participants start working on those for the following year.In Nassau dozens of groups compete which entails the work of hundreds of people. Costumes are made of a cardboard base which is then covered by white paper. Painting is not used, but rather all colors, textures and effects must be achieved by gluing glitter, paper, material or other decorations to the surface. Costumes can turn into mini-floats as wide as the street, masks, dragons or any shape that can be conceived of by the participating artisans.
Highlights: |
Dive Activities
A number of companies run scuba and snorkel excursions and training for all levels of experience out of Nassau. Visitors can obtain training certifications with several of the operators.

As part of the celebration, a variety of guest lunch servers including principals, school board members, and district administrators, helped out at various school cafeterias.
Superintendent Lori White served lunch Thursday, Oct. 13, at Gulf Gate Elementary. The menu included Nokomis Nachos, Gillespie Park Potatoes and Land O' Lakes cheese with veggies along with fruit. Though she was only there for 90 minutes, she said it was going to be the best part of her day. 'I get to see the kids during a part of the day they look forward to," White said.

Money Spends in Toronto
Toronto is a cool city to go to, lots of good history there. Went in Nov & it was much colder than I expected, so be sure to check the weather. Most of the places I went to were relatively close, except for the zoo which took over an hour to get to. The subway system could be improved for travelers to make it easier to navigate to different places. Toronto & Canada for that matter is a bit expensive, with the sale tax at 13%+. For the meals be prepared to spend more for smaller portions.
Insider Tip:Take more money than you think you need, because foreign currency spends fast.

Financing offers for B.R. office deal reflect thawing lending market, developer says
Though some complain lenders are still tight-fisted when it comes to commercial projects, that's not the experience Atlanta development company Songy HighRoads and its Louisiana partners had earlier this year when trying to secure financing to acquire a portfolio of office buildings in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. "We actually had five or six lenders competing for the deal," says Tabb Neblett, a native of Alexandria and partner in Songy HighRoads. "It was very competitive, which speaks really well of this market." Deutsche Bank ended up financing the $52.7 million deal, lending 75% on the project. The equity came from Songy HighRoads—which was founded by Neblett's fellow Alexandria native David Songy—and several local investors, including Mike Wampold and New Orleans real estate executive Robert Merrick. Neblett says their experience suggests lenders are high on the office and multifamily markets in Baton Rouge. Big banks are also willing to finance hotels in the New Orleans market and office properties in Metairie, though not in Orleans Parish. "They're not too keen on Alexandria, either, or Shreveport or even Lafayette," he says. "But certain segments of Baton Rouge and New Orleans are very strong." Songy HighRoads plans in the coming months to make improvements to some of the class A and B properties in the portfolio, which has an average occupancy rate of 87%. "But really, there is not that much to do," he says. "Most of them are in good shape." —Stephanie Riegel Read the full story here.

With Black Friday, Cyber Monday and all of the sales in-between, it's easy to get caught up in the Christmas consumer rush. For busy families, the holidays can be an overwhelming time. So, it's nice to get a reminder of the meaning of family and Christmas.
For me, that reminder came in the form of Casa Mañana Theatre's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas on Saturday evening. With Clement Clarke Moore's classic Christmas poem as the booming narrative, this modern day musical was poignant and delightful.
The story centers on Molly, who is sad because her father is off at war. Her mother tries to cheer her up with a Christmas Eve magical treasure hunt.
They head off to New York City and collect tokens of their adventure, passing by landmarks such as Radio City Music Hall and getting doses of good tidings.
Unbeknownst to them, they are being followed by a pair of magical elves, Jingle (Avery Presson) and Jangle (Lauren Weik), who provide a nice touch of humor and energy throughout the show. With their magic dust, each musical number transforms from a classic Christmas rendition to a raucous and lively jam.
Throughout the musical, the singing is exceptional including the voices of the children's chorus and Maurice Johnson, who plays a number of characters, but is outstanding as the Salvation Army Santa. There's also great Central park scene is which "ice" skaters, who were actually on roller blades, aptly conveyed winter in New York.
But the heart of this show is the mother and daughter. Sara Grace Prejean gave an emotional and touching performance as Molly and Mary Gilbreath Grim, who played Molly's mother, sang a heart-wrenching version of Where Are You Christmas? that was made popular by Faith Hill.
During that song, I watched a father in front of me glance at his two children on the left and his wife on the right, then outstretch his arms to hold them all close to him.
That's what the season is all about.

Investigation performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, South Korea
This article was chosen to appear electronically on August 22, 2012, in advance of publication in a regularly scheduled issue.
A commentary by Tamara D. Rozental, MD, is linked to the online version of this article at jbjs.org.
Bisphosphonates can adversely affect fracture-healing because they inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. It is unclear whether bisphosphonates can be initiated safely for patients who have sustained an acute distal radial fracture. The purpose of this randomized study was to determine whether the early use of bisphosphonate affects healing and outcomes of osteoporotic distal radial fractures treated with volar locking plate fixation.
Fifty women older than fifty years of age who had undergone volar locking plate fixation of a distal radial fracture and had been diagnosed with osteoporosis were randomized to Group I (n = 24, initiation of bisphosphonate treatment at two weeks after the operation) or Group II (n = 26, initiation of bisphosphonate treatment at three months). Patients were assessed for radiographic union and other radiographic parameters (radial inclination, radial length, and volar tilt) at two, six, ten, sixteen, and twenty-four weeks, and for clinical outcomes that included Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores, wrist motion, and grip strength at twenty-four weeks. The two groups were compared with regard to the time to radiographic union, the radiographic parameters, and the clinical outcomes.
No significant differences were observed between the two groups with respect to radiographic or clinical outcomes after volar locking plate fixation. All patients obtained fracture union, and the mean times to radiographic union in Groups I and II were similar (6.7 and 6.8 weeks, respectively; p = 0.65). Furthermore, the time to radiographic union was not related to osteoporosis severity or fracture type.
In patients with an osteoporotic distal radial fracture treated with volar locking plate fixation, the early initiation of bisphosphonate treatment did not affect fracture-healing or clinical outcomes.
Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
A CONSORT flow diagram for enrollment and analysis. Group I had initiation of bisphosphonate medication at two weeks postoperatively, and Group II had initiation of bisphosphonate medication at three months postoperatively.
Figs. 2-A through 2-F Radiographs for determination of fracture-healing in a sixty-eight-year-old patient with a distal radial fracture treated with a volar locking plate. Figs. 2-A and 2-B Preoperative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs showing a dorsally angulated distal radial fracture and an ulnar styloid fracture.
Anteroposterior radiograph made two weeks postoperatively. The radial cortex was determined to have cortical bridging (arrow), but the ulnar cortex did not (arrowhead).
Lateral radiograph made two weeks postoperatively. The dorsal cortex was determined not to have cortical bridging yet (arrowheads). The volar cortex was not considered in the assessment of radiographic healing.
Anteroposterior radiograph made six weeks postoperatively. Both radial and ulnar cortices were determined to have cortical bridging (arrows).
Lateral radiograph made six weeks postoperatively. The dorsal cortex was determined to have cortical bridging (arrows) at this time.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*French Riviera
*French Riviera. Resort area along France's Mediterranean coast that the novel refers to as the "home" of Dick Diver and his wife. The novel opens there, and the Divers periodically return there, and there the novel concludes with Dick blessing the beach from a terrace. As a literary device, the Riviera and its cities represent various aspects of the characters, the lives they lead, and the kinds of people they are becoming. The Riviera is pictured as a playground for the rich and famous, a place where Rosemary attends empty, pretentious parties with the Divers; where Nicole Warren spends money prodigiously—an indication of the relentless materialism of her family; where Dick repeatedly shines as glib host at dinner parties; where Mary North and Lady Caroline Sibly-Biers are arrested for their careless, condescending shenanigans; and where Nicole's infidelity with Tommy Barban occurs.
Gausse's Hôtel des Étrangers
Gausse's Hôtel des Étrangers (gos-es oh-tel day-say-trahn-jay). Hotel on the French Riviera located somewhere "between Marseilles and the Italian Border" in which the novel opens. The hotel's beach is where the initial infatuation begins between Dick Diver and film star Rosemary Hoyt and is the site of many scenes juxtaposed to indicate both the Divers' charm as a couple and the ultimate disintegration of their marriage.
The hotel is significant as a...

Historical Context
Set in Europe between 1925 and 1935, and with flashbacks that cover the years 1917 to 1925, Tender Is the Night describes a group of wealthy and idle American expatriates who, like their counterparts of the "Jazz Age" and the "Roaring Twenties," have little else to do but eat, drink, attend parties, and survive their personal crises.
When Dick Diver first arrives in Zurich, a war is raging across Europe. Although there are references to an earlier time when he was studying in Vienna and had a firsthand experience with the shelling and its resultant discomforts, Diver is largely unaffected on a personal level by the war. Europe, however, was recovering from the devastating effects of the war that was to have ended all wars. Millions of Europeans were killed, and entire cities were ruined. During the decade in which the book largely takes place, Europe as a whole was still working to rebuild its infrastructures.
Meanwhile, in America, the period known as the Roaring Twenties was well under way. With the stock market surging, a generation of "nouveau riche" Americans found their way to the European shores and cities with lots of money to spend. Desperate for the infusion of capital, Europe was forced to pander to these Americans, though not without some cultural conflicts. Tender Is the Night describes typical wealthy Americans who live idly off the European continent. Although the term "ugly American" would not be...
(The entire section is 734 words.)
Ideas for Group Discussions
While many critics and general readers believe that Gatsby takes the palm as Fitzgerald's greatest literary achievement, many others view Tender Is the Night (a title taken from Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale," a fact that invites discussion) as the more insightful and fully developed novel. Consideration might be given to a careful comparison of these works, with an eye toward deciding which is indeed the more penetrating vision of the human condition. Also, the novel was published in a revised version in 1948; in this text, the antecedent information is taken from its interjected position and presented entirely, along with the rest of the plot, in chronological order. Readers might find it instructive to compare these texts, to determine whether the device of antecedent information "works" better than a linear presentation of the plot, or whether the revision was an improvement on the original publication.
1. If Amory Blaine's life can be seen as a striving for "selfhood/' might Dick Diver's be viewed as a loss of that quality?
2. Does the European setting for much of the novel contribute to the effect of the book — for example, the clash with the Italian that Dick experiences?
3. One theme of Tender Is the Night is said to be "the tyranny of the weak." Does the relationship between Dick and Nicole really support this claim?
4. In view of modern attitudes, does the "psychology" found in the novel...
(The entire section is 293 words.)
Literary Style
The title comes from a line in John Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale": The poem, with its forlorn images of drinking, fits the character and tone of the book. As a young writer Fitzgerald was profoundly influenced by Keats. While in Italy, in chapter XXII of Book Two, on his way back to his hotel where a note from Rosemary is awaiting him, Dick feels his "spirits soared before the flower stalls and the house where Keats had died."
Three-Part Narrative Structure Tender Is the Night is divided into three sections, or Books. Although the novel is narrated in the third person, Book One opens from the perspective of Rosemary Hoyt and focuses on the glittering surface of Dick and Nicole Divers' life. Just as Rosemary is seduced by the glamour and luxury of that life, so is the reader; though, as the perspective evolves, there are hints that not all is well with Nicole and Dick and that the life they lead is not all glitz and glamour.
Book Two moves back in time to reveal what lies beneath the surface of the Divers' charm. It effectively unveils Nicole's case history for the reader just as it does the evolution of her relationship to Dick. Finally, in Book Three, Dick is shown trying to make sense of his life. The brilliant sheen of Book One has worn off, and the events told in Book Two have taken their toll, and now, in Book Three, it is time for Dick to move on.

Compare and Contrast
1920s: Having just experienced the devastating effects of World War I, Europe is working to rebuild its economies and infrastructures.
Today: After the fall of Communism in the 1990s, European countries form the European Union—an economic organization that brings European countries under a consistent monetary system and economic policies. The European Union today has the potential of becoming one of the strongest economic entities in the world.
1930s: Many Americans who amassed fortunes in the stock market surges of the previous decade have lost everything because of the crash of 1929.
Today: After the stock market decline of 2000 and the "dot com" crash, many of the young Americans who became rich with stock options in the 1990s have lost much of their wealth.
1930s: Although many American blacks had relocated to France to avoid the discrimination in the United States, discrimination against blacks still exists, and blacks have a difficult time entering some businesses and public establishments.
Today: Discrimination is illegal in France and is considered a human rights violation.
1930s: By the time Tender Is the Night is published, many readers and critics have come to embrace the new movement of "social realism" in literature and the art.

Topics for Further Study
F. Scott Fitzgerald was part of a group of writers known as the "Lost Generation." Research the origin of that term and the writers who were included. What did the writers have in common with one another? What made them "lost?"
Tender Is the Night was published in 1934, nine years after Fitzgerald's previous book, The Great Gatsby, was published. Research some of the events that transpired in the United States and Europe in those nine years. What effects did those changes have on the critical reception of Tender Is the Night? Do you think readers would have responded to the book differently had it been published in 1928? What would have been the differences in their response?
The title of Tender Is the Night comes from the John Keats poem "Ode to a Nightingale." Analyze Keats's poem, and explain why Fitzgerald quoted from this poem for his title. What does the title mean? Are there any thematic similarities between the Keats poem and Tender Is the Night?
Many readers view Tender Is the Night as Fitzgerald's most autobiographical novel. Some see Dick and Nicole Diver as being Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, whereas others believe Fitzgerald intended Albert McKisco and his wife to represent himself and Zelda. Research the life of the Fitzgeralds. Who do you think are most representative of the Fitzgeralds in the book? Why?

The 1962 film version of the novel (enhanced by a superb background musical score, which was nominated for an Academy Award) starred Jennifer Jones as Nicole, Jason Robards as Dick Diver, and Paul Lukas as the Swiss psychologist who tries to "save" Dick. The movie was directed by Henry King, who achieved some fine visual effects (especially scenes on the Riviera); but, the general critical judgment was that the story moved too slowly, despite several striking episodes, but supplies a seemingly realistic image of Europe in the 1920s.

Media Adaptations
In 1955, Tender Is the Night was adapted as an hour-long television special, starring Mercedes McCambridge as Nicole Diver. In 1962, the novel was adapted as a Hollywood film by Henry King. Produced by Twentieth Century Fox Studios, the film stars Jennifer Jones, Jason Robards, Jr., Joan Fontaine, Tom Ewell, and Jill St. John and is available on video. A 1985 three-hour miniseries adaptation, starring Peter Strauss, Edward Asner, and Sean Young was directed by Robert Knight.
A ten-cassette, unabridged reading of the novel was produced by Sterling Audio out of Thorndike, Maine.

What Do I Read Next?
The Great Gatsby, along with Tender Is the Night, is considered to be Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Published in 1925, at the height of the U.S. "Jazz Age," the book tells the tragic story of the rich and elusive Jay Gatsby and his love for Daisy Buchanan.
The Crack Up, a collection of personal writings by Fitzgerald and his contemporaries, is the closest thing to an autobiography of Fitzgerald that exists.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In His Own Time is a collection of miscellaneous writings by and about Fitzgerald. Edited by Fitzgerald scholars Matthew J. Bruccoli and Jackson R. Bryer, the book includes college writings and essays by Fitzgerald, as well as reviews of his works, interviews, and several obituaries that were published at his death.

Time of Dying [ Active ]
Who: Zidane (thiefmaster) and Ken (sweetgentian)
What: Zidane's meeting Ken, sometime after he awakens after his death.
When: Right after this
Where: Cafeteria.
Warnings: TBA~
Three days.
Three days.
Shouldn't be too surprised with Jade's and Kaito's deaths from before. Both were dead for three days. So, this was the new limit on time. Three days gone. Dead.
This was his second time dying here. Each time had felt like a long nap, passing by quickly.
Larxene... he'd snapped and agreed to meet her, but she had killed Maya! His 'wife' from a curse a long time ago with Vash as their kid. Both were long since gone. Heh, funny that, he still had the ladder in his room even after going home himself and coming back. The ladder that Vash had given the parents. He had to smile at that, slowly getting his spirits up.
Who knew about his death? Sounded like Ken didn't know, his death had been kept quiet? Sano's had been announced but why his quiet...? Not that it mattered too much.
Zidane sighed as he ran through the hallways to the cafeteria. He'd lost her as well! His beloved Dagger and he still hurt from that. This place was too cruel to bring her here and to take her away. Another reason why he'd gone along with Larxene? Maybe. Didn't know, but all he knew was that he met death facing off against her.
She'd killed him. There was nothing he could do to stop it. Killed in a heartbeat, feeling his body shutdown as he took in his last breath...
... Manic found him after that. Should have listened to the hedgehog's warning. Should have. Zidane wasn't too surprised to wake up in his room considering the warning...
Ken... had to meet him now and explain all of this. He owed him that much. But where to start? He knew.
He came to a halt in the cafeteria, blue eyes scanning around for who he'd thought was Ken, going from the network's icons.

Trophy game at Edgar Street (From Hereford Times)

Trophy game at Edgar Street
1:43pm Tuesday 15th May 2012 in Sport By Bill Tanner
Young Kai Barnett coolly curled a free kick into the net to strike silver for Leominster Minors under 8s with just minutes of the Daniel Cooper Memorial trophy game left at Edgar Street last Sunday.
Kai's strike was all that separated the Minors from FC Phoenix when the whistle when time was called on two strong sides and a keenly contested match.
But Jo Bufton had a big say in the final score too, clearing a goal-bound Phoenix free-kick off the line with seconds to spare – returning a favour to his keeper Aaron Warner who made a key save to keep Phoenix out with five minutes on the clock.
The win for the Minors was made all the sweeter by travel in a black and yellow stretch limo hired for the team for the day.

Today at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, Microsoft Hardware debuted the SideWinder X6 Keyboard — the most versatile gaming keyboard on the market with the first-ever switchable key pad that can be attached to the left or right side of the keyboard for ultimate flexibility. To round out the SideWinder line, the Hardware team is also announcing the SideWinder X5 Mouse, a fast, powerful gaming mouse designed to give mainstream gamers a competitive edge. The switchable key pad makes the SideWinder X6 Keyboard ideal for gaming as well as productivity, as the key pad functions as a standard num pad in normal keyboard mode, but becomes a programmable macro pad in game mode. Complementing the unique versatility of the keyboard are features specifically designed for gaming, including the capacity to store up to 90 macros per game and backlighting that helps users get immersed in the game. "We know that consumers don't want to pull out and set up a second keyboard for a gaming session, so we created a device that was perfect for both gaming and regular computer use," said Kevin Flick, user researcher for Microsoft Hardware. "With the switchable key pad, gamers will have a fantastic, customizable experience whether they're playing their favorite game or creating Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentations." Powerful Versatility The SideWinder X6 Keyboard's switchable key pad allows gamers to program up to 90 macros per game with the help of a set of dedicated macro keys as well as a fully programmable key pad. With mode switching, gamers can instantly go from Microsoft Office Excel to their favorite game — and place the macro pad on whichever side they prefer for gaming. The X6 also offers the following features to take advantage of its adaptability: Mode switching lets gamers manually toggle the keyboard from standard mode to either of two gaming modes. LEDs show the selected mode. Automatic profile switching detects the application that is running and applies the custom profile. Designed for Gaming The SideWinder X6 Keyboard is more than a standard keyboard with a few extra bells and whistles — it was built from the ground up with gamers in mind, to give them an edge up on their competition. To complement its versatility, the keyboard has the following additional features to produce the ultimate gaming package: New Cruise Control feature continues an action without having to hold down the key or keys assigned to the action. Gamers can use Cruise Control with up to four keys at a time. In-game macro record button lets gamers record any sequence of keystrokes — even standard chat messages. Macros are stored on the PC hard drive and can be easily shared. WASD gaming keys, the most commonly used keys for gamers, have front-face lighting for enhanced visibility. Quick-Launch key gives one-touch access to Windows Vista Games Explorer, allowing gamers to quickly see the games in their PC's game library. Get Immersed Gamers enjoy a heightened experience when adsorbed in the gaming world. Research shows many gamers like to dim the lights, and the X6's two-color adjustable backlighting helps set the mood to achieve total immersion. The red backlighting indicates standard keys that are not programmable, while the amber color indicates custom-programmable macro keys in game mode that can be tuned to the gamers' preference. The X6 also includes full media keys and volume and backlighting control dials to fine-tune the gaming experience. SideWinder X5 Mouse Today, Microsoft also announced the SideWinder X5 Mouse, a fast, powerful gaming mouse designed to give mainstream gamers a competitive edge. The nine-button gaming mouse is designed for handling with vertical side buttons, adjustable sensitivity switching up to 2,000 DPI, five customizable buttons, and a Quick-Launch button that instantly launches the Windows Vista Games Explorer. SideWinder: It's Only the Beginning The SideWinder X6 Keyboard is the first keyboard to join the popular SideWinder family of gaming products. Established in 1995 and revived in 2007, the SideWinder line is known for its top-notch PC gaming peripherals, including mice, game pads, joysticks and steering wheels. Pricing and Availability The SideWinder X6 Keyboard and SideWinder X5 Mouse will be widely available in September 2008 for an estimated retail price of $79.95 (U.S.) and $59.95 (U.S.), respectively.3 The products are available now for pre-sale on Amazon.com and will ship in September when they are widely released. The SideWinder X6 Keyboard and SideWinder X5 Mouse will be backed by a worldwide three-year limited hardware warranty from Microsoft Corp. Source: Microsoft Hardware
Mouse design is clearly a copy of Logitech G9. Microsoft was never good at these. I remember intelli mouse which quality was close to 2e products. Recently I played on some normal MS keyboard that locked itself up while I tried to run/strafe/hold a grenade/press forward. On mouse you can debate which is better suited for you but keyboard ?! The only aspects of a good keyboard is half height buttons (between laptop flat and PC high) so you dont need to stress your wrist to be able to press high buttons. Softness of buttons - so it doesnt give a 'typing machine' feeling. And already mentioned working with 3+ buttons pressed at once. Been playing on Benq A800 for over 4 years now and it still works flawlessly. My ideal would be some additional control buttons for volume control overall this is the best keyboard I played/worked on. PS.Detachable Num Pad lol.........
I'm using the original Sidewinder mouse now. I'm a fan of Logitech's hardware (as I am typing on a G15), but the Microsoft Sidewinder had just as good specs for a much cheaper price. I found both the Sidewinder and the G9 to be a bit uncomfortable (as I was switching from a MX700 [same body as G5/G7]), but I quickly got used to it. I disagree that the Sidewinder Mouse was a copy of the G9. If you see and get to hold them both, they're a bit different. Yes, both of them are black, five button mice with DPI adjustments. Yes, both have weight trays. Many mice are starting to fit that description. It's more of a consumer desire that the manufacturers have to live up to than "copying". It's like LED backlight keyboards. Saitek, I believe, was the first popular brand to do this. Many of the knockoff brands started doing the same. As demand grew for LCD backlight keyboards, Razer, Logitech and now Microsoft are here answering that call. It was the same story with "media buttons" and it's going to be the same story with macro buttons. It's not so much copying and more just the standard. I used to be happy when scroll wheels became the standard (let alone having a THIRD button I could click). Now, I absolutely can not live with any mouse with less than the standard five buttons. I couldn't imagine life without my media buttons to manage my music without having to alt-tab out of World of Warcraft. I never imagined I could IM from a small LCD attached to my keyboard. Given time, luxury becomes a standard. I would imagine your Microsoft keyboard used a PS/2 port and the BenQ you're using now is USB. You can press three buttons at a time on any keyboard, just not any three buttons. Ctrl+Alt+Del for example works on any keyboard while other combinations may not (Up, Down and left or right for example). The three buttons you're talking about are most likely a limitation of the PS/2 port's design, not the keyboard. Afterall, the PS/2 port was designed in 1987. I don't think they were too concerned with the keyboard being able to run/strafe/hold a grenade/press forward. [quote="caleb]PS.Detachable Num Pad lol.........[/quote] I couldn't agree more. I don't see a use for that. Edit: Found this in an older news article. The detachable number pad suddenly makes more sense. (..but it's still silly)
and the Sidewinder is oh anout 2x the size, has no changable rubber grips, the weights load in the side, not the bottom, humm other than its black its not the same at all.
I've heard some bad stuff about the G7 with it being wireless and all. Lack of weight adjustment, intermittent signal loss, bad battery life.. Did you notice any of that? Yeah. The G9 is a bit small. It wasn't too bad, but it did seem a bit short (especially with the wide grip). I'm sort of a half palm, half finger sort of guy. Full palmers may not like the G9. If I full palm like I do when web surfing, I reach just below the top of the Sidewinder (my first middle finger joint resting on the wheel). (Sorry for spamming with images)
the wirelss part of the G7 is not a problem at all works great. Your right it does not have weights, but the battery makes it feel about the same as i have my G5 set to, so not a problem 4x17g and 4x4.5g is about the same as the battery in the G7. The only doew side to the G7 is battery life, its probly gives a good 8 hours of use, then it needs to be changed, but sence its got 2, one is always being charged, but i do ended up changing it 1 time a day with light use.
Yeah, the sidewinder and G9 are nothing a like and I found it to be way to flat, small and short for my hand. One thing I found myself disliking most is a flat, short mouse. The sidewinder is the only mouse that is long enough for my hand. It's hump isn't as tall as the MX1000 but I've gotten use to that by now. I posted about this a while back, here.
Sigh, the MX1000 was IMO the best mouse ever, to bad they dont make them any more, I had thought about getting 1 off Ebay when mine died, but I realy do like the G5/G7 but its still no MX1000.
I love my Sidewinder mouse, I'm not sure if the G9 is better but I have been mostly at the top of the kill list in COD4 thanks to it. I had a G3, but it broke down in 1 month after the warranty, it was a not bad mouse. The Sidewinder is so good and comfortable I decided to tell my brother about it and now we're both pwning the competition. Sure it may be heavy because of the weights, but it works for me with muscle memory in time. I was pro in about a week or two once I got used to its ergonomics and weight. I find this mouse excellent in COD4, Team Fortress 2, and Crysis with its DPI switching. BTW Selene is so right the MX1k is the best mouse, however on the wireless side. I prefer the Cyborg.
Well most of there circuit boards in MS mouses are Logitech in fact a hell load of brands are. Anyways mouse looks kinda cool but as always right handed . i'm still after one thats better than the Diamondback lol. EDIT: i do like that mouse lol. But with those side buttons as they are it's likley push into the parm of your hand but that's only ok if your hand fits well.
Hey Yeah on second look they are indeed diffrent but the copy subject was my first impression on the image posted. About they keyboard. The BenQ is actually a PS2 keyboard and im 90% sure that the Microsoft was USB. I will check what model it was. Ive encountered this problem quite a long time before (when I bought that BenQ) with the cheapest logitech keyboard there was only there you couldnt even press strafe/walk/shift.
Hmm. I suppose it would be the controller then. The keys are sort of on a grid. The way I understand it, pressing escape would send a signal similar to "Row 1, Column 1". Holding down something on the same row would give "Row 1, Row 3, Column 1". Hold down a third button on a column, same row (keep in mind, three buttons), it would give "Row 1, Row 3, Column 1, Column 2". It wouldn't be able to tell if you're holding down three or four buttons. Complicate it more, three buttons, different row, different column.. "Row 1, Row 2, Row 3, Column 1, Column 2", then your three buttons become anywhere from a possible three to six buttons. Come to think of it, PS/2 was serial.
the G9 can bigger it supports diffrent grips and people say G9 loooks ugly, X5 looks damn ugly if you compare the two, the G9 looks like design pirce and X5 looks like shit
Well i have never liked any thing that looked melted which is were every thing has been going. you do get the one one which to me looks sharper than the other. How ever the G5 looks like a better fit for me as with every thing you cannot please everyone and after all if my hands on i'm not going see it anyways lol. To me a mouse should not be about looks but after feel which is were most fail.
Heya Well I used to have the G5 but it gave me trouble with DPI buttons which never worked firmly and the surface worn out very quickly if you compare it to MX series. It is true g9 is a completly diffrent mouse. I used to let my hand rest on the g5 but I noticed that I use my fingers to aim anyway so I decided to go with G9 and yeah it felt strange at start I used the 'fat' grip and then tried the smaller one which was really too small as first impression. Right now Im just using the smaller grip for more than 3-4 months and yeah this mouse is diffrent and needs some getting used to but watch how you play.. if you aim with fingers then you will quickly get used to this shape. G9 is damn fast mouse, G5 gave me the OK felling but this is perfect performance. It still carries the surface quality issue G5 had on its buttonts which is kinda sad for almost 100e product that has the expieriences of MX series which sufrace material was very good in durability. After less than 6months you can see that the LMB is worn out a bit - kinda looks like a laptop keyboard after some time. (Logitech actually sent me the G9 for the faulty G5 free of charge and I didnt have to send the G5 back just its plug)

Maybe I'm Just Heartless women's fitted t-shirt
Feeling a little out of place? Noticed that you're missing a piece of your soul? Maybe one of those scary shadowy things in the street have stolen your heart, either that or you're just cranky today.
Or maybe you're just heartless.
This t-shirt gives you the excuse to be bad today!
