IS THIS CANADA YEAR FOR LORD STANLEY?
It has been so long, since a Canadian National Hockey League (NHL) team. has won the Stanley cup, it has been fourteen years to be exact, in which the Montreal Canadians won the Stanley cup in the 1992-93 season.
The past two NHL season, three years to be exact due to the lockout of the 04-05 NHL season. It has been a close call for the teams north of the boarder in the country of Canada. Just last season alone the Edmonton Oilers had a nice run and force a game seven, before losing the cup to the Carolina Hurricanes. The season before the lockout of 03- 04, the Calgary Flames seem to have everything going for them. Before that powerful lighting strike, that hit the saddle dome in overtime during game 6.
In which Martin St. Louis, scored the game winning goal. that would send the series back to the sunshine state of Florida, for a game seven, in what would turn out to be a the first Stanley Cup in history for the Tampa Bay Lighting.
This year it could be different, and in what better closing of this NHL season would turn out to be if that first Stanley cup team since the Montreal Canadians won it in the 92-93 season. That it would be a team from Canada national capital of Ottawa and it would also be the first Stanley cup in the team history of the senators.
Canada lord Stanley is calling, this will be the third time in a row, a Canadians team has played for Lord Stanley is this the year? I think so, but like always, time will only tell and that is what has Canada on the edge of its seats waiting for that call from Lord Stanley.

This is the Labtec Media Keyboard Set. It is a Windows Keyboard. I haven’t tried it on Mac or Linux.

This is a ‘wireless’ keyboard and mouse set. I got mine at Costco. You can get one from Amazon. Worth every penny.
This is a closeup of the keyboard.

It has ‘extra’ buttons for some of the repetive tasks that used to require a lot of point and click.
On the top left are these buttons.

From the left,
Are you just going to ignore my plea’s for help to continue the help I am giving to them? To help them find comfort in some small way?

I still need the following to continue on:

14- Quilters Need to Know Card #80932 $5.95 each
15-Fons and Porter’s Perfect Binding Cards #81035 $5.95
16- Triangle Measurement Card #80595 $4.00
17- Machine Needle Threader #81659 $5.59
18- Sew Easy Guide #81785 $5.00
19- Machine Seam Gauge & Adhesive Guide #81716 $4.89

Notice each one of these items is less than $6.50. Which means they are less than the cost of a supersized meal at Burger King, less than 2 cups of coffee at starbucks, less than a tank of gas and probably less than the pocket change you collected in your change jar this week. Can’t you please reach into your pockets and your hearts and donate to my cause?

911 dispatchers are the least recognized people in the field of emergency response teams because we are not seen and we are forgotten once help arrives, the help that we sent, but we don’t worry about it or complain, we just continue to do our jobs to the best of our abilities.

If you really want to help, get a group together and you can all pitch in for a week, here are some more of the higher end needs I have:

1-Country Thread Set #20911 $23.852

2-Pastel Thread Set #20909 $7.953

3-Bright Thread Set # 20910 $15.904

the letter opens your Email Program,
the house opens your default browser to your home page,
the Magnifyer opens up the Windows Search window,
the arrows cycle through your open browser windows,
for those times when you are running more than one browser instance or browsers.

On the top above the page keys are another series of buttons,

The moon puts your computer into standby,
the computer opens up the My Computer window,
the calculator opens up the Calculator,
the battery icon has an LED below it for when it is time to change your battery, which in my opinion the best feature on the keyboard. I am a firm believer in idiot lights for computers. It’s either working or it’s not.

But Wait!
This is the Media part of this keyboard.
