Sticky Notes
Sticky notes in a board based on localStorage
More About This Demo From The Author
Sticky Notes is an app written in HTML, using JavaScript, localStorage and CSS3. I used sprite for the images, and it looks like a work board where you can attach notes and move it in the board, also edit the text, and erase the note. It works with localStorage to save the data in a local way, but if you want to work in another machine you can export your data, it's going to be saved in MongoLab and the app brings you a code, after you can import the data in your machine bringing your code, and the data is going to be loaded, and you can continue working in a local way using localStorage.
* This demo uses a modified version of Bootstrap to load quickly, thanks to Twitter Bootstrap.
* Also it uses a font with a Open License, thanks to Angel Koziupa and Alejandro Paul.
In the app you see notes to the left, when you click some notes it's going to appear a new note in the board when you move the mouse to the note, you can see options: a mouse to move the note in the screen, a pencil to edit the note, and a cancel to delete the note, when you edit the note it's going to pass to editable mode, when you finish to edit the text of the note you can click on the check button and it's going to be saved.

Great! Also, instead of dragging by the tiny button, I should be able to move notes by dragging any part of it! Also making it mobile friendly would be great I think. Finally, note labels would be editable :)
cristhianclx berkata,
Well, the labels note are in readonly mode, but when you click the pencil in the note, it pass to editable mode, when you finish to edit the note and you click the check button, the text of the note it's saved.

The 5 Most Important Entrepreneurial SkillsWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Tuesday, April 22, 2014
It's been 15 years now since I started working with entrepreneurs. Over this time, I've seen lots of successes, and unfortunately lots of failures.
What Every Investor WantsWritten by Jay Turo on Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Last week my post on Silicon Valley - where I posed that the Valley as an investment hub had become overbought, and that the best opportunities were trending elsewhere - elicited some great responses.
Perhaps my favorite was from a Midwest VC, in reference to one of his portfolios companies in the data center space..."Here is an excellent company which is part of our VC portfolio that is…in the midst of the cold Midwest in Rochester, Minnesota, a location where few Silicon Valley folks are brave enough to consider for investment."
Another came from a well-known super angel from Dallas, "very much admire the wealth and innovation coming from SV, but it is time for investors to step out and see all of the great technology companies starting and growing outside of California."
I appreciate these sentiments very much, and they got me thinking as to what are the common threads amongst those that love, work and invest in the startup and small business sector.
It starts with a set of beliefs. First and foremost, a clear and passionate recognition that the blessings of our way of life depend on our thriving free enterprise system.
And a deep and abiding respect for those that create wealth via their own hard work, creativity, and opportunistic sense of risk and reward.
For the entrepreneurs, the owner-operators, "the risk takers, the doers, the makers of things."
Those brave souls that embody Picasso's famous credo of "work being the ultimate seduction."
From whom business is far more than simply a way to make a living.
AND as they do it, they make money.
A lot of it.
In fact, the vast majority of startups and small companies earn a far higher return on invested capital than their larger publicly-traded brethren.
In fact, companies on the Inc. 5000 - a list of the country's fastest-growing privately-held companies - average annual revenue growth of over 70%.
And a good number of these companies take in outside investment to accelerate their growth.
Some from professional investors - private equity and venture capital firms - and some from individual, "angel" investors.
And when the better among them do, those that love and are passionate about entrepreneurship, about technology, and about making money, want to participate.
Here's why:
1. High Rate of Expected Return. Angel investing is by far the highest expected rate of return form of investing, Research from the Kauffman Foundation Angel Returns Study and the Nesta Angel Investing study, compiled by Robert Wiltbank, have demonstrated that the "...average angel investor (across the U.S. and UK) produced a gross multiple of 2.5 times their investment, in a mean time of about four years."
2. Home Run Potential. Smaller operating companies are the only form of investment that offer true "home run" potential.
Almost all great fortunes have been made via positions in small companies that became big. The list is legion, and runs from Standard Oil, DuPont, and Ford, through IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Wal-mart, Microsoft, and Oracle, to modern day supernovae like Amazon, Google, LinkedIN, Facebook, and Twitter.
And yes, Whats App and Occulus, too - companies still early in their business life but having already created fortunes for their early investors.
3. Connectedness. Perhaps my favorite, investing in smaller, private companies offers a connectedness, realness, and "human scale" interaction best compared to philanthropy.
It is the spiritual opposite of index, derivative, and Federal Reserve tea leave gazing that so unfortunately is what the media now considers "finance."
Quite simply, early-stage investing is one of the last, pure forms of doing good while doing well…
…making a high personal expected, economic return decision while contributing to the entrepreneurial force of the world and providing fuel for innovations of all types that make it a better place.
What is better than that?
Answers to the 5 Most Common Angel Investor QuestionsWritten by Katie Perratore on Tuesday, April 15, 2014
On Wikipedia, I found the word "angel" defined as "a supernatural being or spirit, often depicted in humanoid form with feathered wings on their backs and halos around their heads."

Silicon Valley: Only Game in Town?Written by Jay Turo on Wednesday, April 9, 2014
With 41% of all U.S. venture capital investing activity, Silicon Valley is the nation's unrivaled tech early technology investing epicenter.
As the innovations and wealth that have flowed from Valley Tech companies - from Apple to Cisco to Ebay to Facebook to Google to HP to Netflix to Pixar to Oracle to Yahoo and thousands more - have enriched the world beyond measure.
And since the start of this year, almost impossible to believe stories of fortunes being made there have inspired us all (and provoked more than a little jealousy, too!).
I profiled a pair of these stories - Jim Goetz of Sequoia Capital parlaying a $58M investment into WhatsApp into a $3B fortune when in February Facebook purchased the messaging app
And Super Angels Peter Thiel and Sean Parker, who through their Founder's Fund invested $16 million into virtual reality headset maker Occulus VR, which returned more than $740 million when Facebook bought the business last month.
Great for them.
But it does beg the question: Has Silicon Valley become so dominant - has it so separated itself - that the best opportunities can only be found there?
Of course not.
In fact, the argument can be made that the worst place to invest right now is in Silicon Valley.
As the stories above illustrate, deal prices there are high, and there is more money than ever (including $7 billion in fresh capital raised last quarter) chasing fewer and fewer deals.
So smart money is starting to look elsewhere.
Like in Los Angeles.
Long renowned as a digital media and entertainment hub, LA Tech investing activity has never been greater, with both funding and deal activity at a five year high.
Smart investors are making a lot of bets on young LA companies, with 70% of all area investing activity happening at the Seed and Series A stages.
Like in the Valley, Internet and Mobile-related businesses dominate - with close to 80% of all venture activity being concentrated in these areas.
These investments are paying off, with 59 recent venture-backed Tech Exits, including Demand Media (IPO), Cornerstone on Demand (IPO) Riot Games (Purchased by Tencent), Edgecast (Purchased by Verizon), Servicemesh (purchased by CSC), LiveOffice (purchased by Symantec) and Integrien (purchased by VMware).
And many, many investing "win" stories like these can be found in Tech Centers like New York, Boston, Chicago, Austin and more.
Yes, the Valley is great but it is far from the only game in town.
And there is a strong case that its best investing days may be behind it.
The word to the wise here is to look elsewhere.

1st Quarter 2014: Best for Investing in 15 YearsWritten by Jay Turo on Wednesday, April 2, 2014
Don't you just love these booming markets? Well, if you don't, try on these IPO, M&A, and financing stats from 1st Quarter 2014:
Initial Public Offerings: 72 companies went public in the U.S. in the 1st quarter - the largest number of new issuers since 2000 -raising a total of 11.1 billion. And, as of Monday 54 of the 72 of them were trading above their IPO price.
Mergers & Acquisitions: Global mergers & acquisition activity totaled $710 billion (Thomson Reuters), up 54% from last year.
Private Equity. Private equity firms did 850 deals, representing investments of greater than $152 billion (Pitchbook), up 11%.
Venture Capital. 1,348 companies raised more than $15 billion from venture capitalists, up 36%.
They also raised $10.3 billion for 578 funds in the 1st Quarter, up 51% from last year.
After many years of ongoing economic and investment dreariness, isn't this so refreshing?
And aren't we heartened that the doomsayers have been proven so fundamentally wrong?
Wrong about the U.S. economy.
And wrong about what is so clearly the dominant leadership position of this country in all of the great technologies growth industries of the 21st Century - software, biotechnology, energy, digital media, and more.
And beyond the numbers, there are some great stories.
Of new industries being built, of fortunes being made. Here is one of my favorites:
Last week, Facebook acquired virtual reality headset maker Occulus VR for approximately $2.24 billion.
Among the investors were Peter Thiel and Sean Parker, of PayPal and Napster fame, who through their VC The Founder's Fund last year invested $16 million into Occulus.
Upon Facebook's purchase of the company and correspondingly of their shares, their position is now worth more than $740 million, or a return of close to 50X on their invested capital.
How did they do this?
What selection strategies did they utilize to identify companies with this kind of return potential?
Well, attend my webinar Thursday - What Peter Thiel and Sean Parker Know about Investing and What You Should Too - to find out.
On it, I will share:
- Why the majority of investors presented the opportunity to invest in Occulus declined to do so
- How Thiel and Parker and their fund partners diligenced the deal and decided to invest in Occulus instead of in the dozens of virtual reality technologies then and now in the marketplace
- How Big Data and Black Swan portfolio theory and modeling were critical to their valuation analysis on the deal
- How today's booming IPO and deal market, discussed above, is affecting (positively and negatively) the technology deal marketplace

The Story That Launched A Billion Dollar BusinessWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Tuesday, March 25, 2014
The right story can grow your business into an amazing success. That being said, consider this great story:
Recently, these men returned to their college for their 25th reunion.
They were still very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had three children. And both, it turned out, had gone to work for the same Midwestern manufacturing company after graduation, and were still there.
But there was a difference. One of the men was manager of a small department of that company. The other was its president.
Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in people's lives? It isn't a native intelligence or talent or dedication. It isn't that one person wants success and the other doesn't.
The difference lies in what each person knows and how he or she makes use of that knowledge.
And that is why I am writing to you and to people like you about The Wall Street Journal. For that is the whole purpose of The Journal: to give its readers knowledge - knowledge that they can use in business.
Lynn is a friend of mine who knows good products. One day he called excited about a pair of sunglasses he owns. "It's so incredible!" he said. "When you first look through a pair you won't believe it." What will I see? I asked. What could be so incredible?
Lynn continued. "When you put on these glasses your vision improves, objects appear sharper, more defined. Everything takes on an enhanced 3D effect and it's not my imagination. I just want you to see for yourself."

Photos from a Samsung presentation have emerged online, providing some insight about the company's upcoming image sensors for mobile devices. It appears Samsung is working on chips that use a RWB (red, white, blue) color filter instead of the conventional RGB pattern.

A few days ago, I told you about a new room on the Boardwalk called the 'Randomizer', that will create a random outfit from the clothing in your inventory.
I got a chance to try it out earlier, and I can tell you right now; it did give me a good laugh! Here's what it looks like in action:
Step 1: Step inside
Step 2: Pay up!
Step 3: SURPRISE!
I tried it about 5 times, and I was ROTFLMAO-ing all the way off my chair at some of the outfits!
The Randomizer will be released on or around the 7th of April.

My wife got on line looked up hotpoint parts, found this web site, navigated the possible solutions, ordered the part, and I installed myself. My wife could have repaired this part. I wish all repairs were this easy to repair, without calling a so called professional to do it. I am a do it yourself person, seldom call anyone to repair things, and I do get annoyed when I can't buy a part without going through a repair man. Love this web site and will definately keep this as my favorite web site. I JUST FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH THE PART! VERY EASY TO INSTALL. Once the control board was mounted everything clipped together easily.

How does one know if they have suffered an unavoidable accident which can occur to anyone at anytime, or are suffering due to the negligence, recklessness or fraud of others? Ordinarily, this requires the advice of a professional: a qualified personal injury attorney. But one should first consider the three legs of the classic stool. In this circumstance, they are (1) liability, (2) damages caused by that liability and, (3) a source for recovery.

A 26-year-old Bhandup resident was arrested on Thursday for allegedly forcing himself on his teenage sister. The matter came to light when the wife of the accused approached the Bhandup police station and complained against him.
According to the Bhandup police, the 14-year-old victim told the police that she was alone at home on Monday when her elder brother raped her. She said he also threatened her with dire consequences if she ever told anyone about it.
The standard VIII student was traumatised, and kept quiet for two days. However, on Wednesday, she narrated the entire incident to her sister-in-law. The sister-in-law immediately approached the Bhandup police with the victim and lodged a complaint against her husband.
"The girl had lost her parents a few years back and since then, her brother has been taking care of her. On Monday, her brother allegedly forced himself on her. We have launched a manhunt for the accused," said Sunil Shejwal, assistant commissioner of police (Bhandup division).
"We have recorded the statement of the victim and are carrying out further preliminary inquiries. We are also investigating if she was sexually assaulted by the accused on previous occasions," said ACP Shejwal.
The Bhandup police have registered a case of rape under the Indian Penal Code as well as under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
Man rapes daughter in Mankhurd
A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping his 10-year-old daughter in Mankhurd. The police said the incident took place on June 15 when the girl was alone at home. After forcing himself on her, the accused warned her against speaking about the crime. "The girl's mother approached us with a complaint following which we registered a case and arrested the accused," said Senior Inspector Vilas Kanade of Mankhurd police station.

Aurrora has loved ghosts, graveyards, curses, gypsies, magic, vampires, and haunted houses for as long as she can remember. Not to mention archaeology, pirates, lost treasure, lost lands, and pretty much anything paranormal.
As she got older, she started reading her mom's romance novels and developed a love for the happily ever after they promised, sexy heroes and the heroines who always got into too much trouble. Soon all of her daydreams centered around a boy, a girl, and an adventure. From there it was only natural to write those daydreams down and watch the stories unfold. Now she loves to incorporate all that magic and mayhem into a story where love can overcome anything.
She currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her wonderful husband and co-dependent dog.

Portland Information
Portland in Victoria is a medium sized town with a population of about 10,000 people. The township was named after the Duke of Portland in England. Before European settlement the Gunditjmara aboriginal people inhabited the area living in stone huts.
In 1834 Edward Henty arrived in Portland from Tasmania and established settlement. As it wasn't until 1835 that people settled in Melbourne, that makes Portland Victoria's birthplace as it was the very first town to be established.
One of the best activities to do in Portland is to experience the Great South West Walk, which is a 250 kilometre walking track which will take you through forests, gorges and cliff tops. The Eco walk features plenty of wildlife and fauna with some very spectacular scenery.
The Portland Maritime Museum is another great attraction to visit. The museum features one of the oldest lifeboats in the world, a real whale skeleton and memorabilia on some of the many shipwrecks that occurred off the Portland coastline.
Another great museum to discover is the Portland Powerhouse Museum. The museum holds and extensive display of vintage cars and motorbikes from the 1900's to the 1960's. There is also other automotive memorabilia such as old petrol pumps, antique signs and toys.
The Portland Cable Tram is a great way to discover the township of Portland. The tram ride is very scenic and stops at some of the best tourist places to see in Portland. Along the ride you will also pass through the botanical gardens and some magical coastal strips.
While in (email hidden) to see is the Cape Nelson Lighthouse, which is located not too far away. The lighthouse was built in 1884 and features a telescope, which was installed in 1885 and at the time was the biggest telescope of its kind in Australia.

Trevor and Laima were perfect hosts, hot coffee was waiting. their home was clean and comfortable and our rooms were quiet and private and had all we needed plus more. wont hesitate going back for a summer break and enjoying the tranquil settings some more.
What a country paradise, yet close to the historic seaside town of Portland. Trevor and Laima were the most gracious, friendly and accommodating hosts,who went to a lot of trouble to make our stay memorable. They have a lovely property, with friendly dogs, cute sheep and alpacas. We were could easily have stayed longer than 2 nights.
Welcoming hosts and flexible about our arrivl and exit times. Accurate photos and description. Would stay with them again is ever nearby. Internet in the area was poor and at times not working. Even cell signals were weak, but in the morning their system worked okay and I was able to do some of my tasks.
This is our best experience to live in Trevor And Laima's house, during the 15days we stayed at Australia. The owner, Trevor and Laima are warmhearted, manage a beautiful house, which made us feel comfortable. It is amasing that you can find Koala, Cangaroo and Alpaca there. The lovely dog Lucy warm welcom us as we are her old frends. It is a pity that we couldn't stay there more days for the holidays were too short. Many thanks to you, Trevor And Liama, you gave us so good memories.
Trevor and Laima made me feel totally welcome and even special! They are two lovely and caring people and went out of their way to make my stay extremely enjoyable. They are generous both with their facilities and their time.
Trevor and Laima were welcoming and made us feel comfortable as soon as we met. Bathrooms were spotless, beds were comfy and that was a seriously good coffee and brekky the next morning.
Thanks and will see you again.
Trevor and Laima is friendly, the house is easy to find, the most impression is there are so many funny animals, the wild kolas /the alpacas and cute pets, the surrounding here is completely natural, peace and (website hidden)'s valuable if you talk more with Trevor, Thank you Trevor and Laima, you give us very good memories.Good Luck!

The U.S. Treasury Department (the Treasury) on February 8 released proposed regulations and a related groundbreaking announcement regarding the recently enacted tax legislation called the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or FATCA. FATCA's purpose is to flush out the identity of U.S. investors who may be trying to avoid payment of U.S. taxes by investments channeled through offshore accounts with non-U.S. banks or financial institutions. FATCA has caused a great deal of controversy and concern in the financial sector due to the potentially burdensome requirements it may place on non-U.S.banks and financial institutions. A failure to comply with FATCA could subject those entities to a new 30% U.S. withholding tax.
Some of the highlights of the Treasury's latest action are as follows:

For 1976 and 1977, Borg was chosen as the ATP Player of the year in contradiction of the computer rankings.
Here are how the "votes" came out for 1976-1977.
Collins, Tingay, John Barrett, Peter Bodo, McCauley and Judith Elian all ranked Connors #1 and Borg #2; Collins, Barrett, McCauley, Elian ranked Nastase #3; a minority of journalists ranked Borg #1, among them Tennis Magazine (France) and the ATP itself which awarded Borg "Player of The Year" contradicting its computer ranking.
Tennis Magazine (France) ranked Borg #1 because he won Wimbledon and he defeated Vilas 3 times out of 3; Lance Tingay of the London Daily Telegraph, Rino Tommasi of Rome's Tennis Club magazine, Joe McCauley of Tennis Australia, Bud Collins and John Barrett also rated Borg first; while World Tennis and Michel Sutter considered Vilas the best one because among other reasons he won 46 matches in a row (even 50 including the Rye tournament excluded in ATP statistics) and 16 titles (or 17 Rye included); the ATP itself awarded Borg "Player of The Year" contradicting its computer ranking (Connors N° 1).
Bjorn Borg defied analysis. No one could manufacture a man that won 6 French Open and 5 straight Wimbledon titles. - Andrew Longmore

Even as rural areas of Coimbatore district suffer more than five hours of power cut every day for the past couple of weeks, the Primary Health Centres (PHCs) have managed to continue providing uninterrupted service, thanks to the installation of generators, power back systems and ice packs.
Sources in the Public Health Department told The Hindu here on Sunday that all the 47 PHCs in Coimbatore district had been outfitted with either generator sets or power back-up systems.
The 10 PHCs that had operation theatres had been provided with both generators and power back-up systems to ensure that the ongoing surgeries were not affected till the generators were pressed in to service.
While procuring diesel had resulted in higher expenditure, the official said that funds were not a constraint for the Public Health Department. The Block Medical Officers were given the funds to purchase diesel and allocate them to the PHCs in the block.
Further, all the PHCs had been provided with Ice Lined Refrigerators (ILR) that were designed to store vaccines, pharmaceuticals and blood, the official added.
Electronic equipment
The PHCs had been provided with sensitive electronic equipment such as ultrosonograms, electrocardiograms, blood analysers, incubators, and auto claves (which sterilise operating knifes) under the National Rural Health Mission.
The generators and power back-up systems had helped keep these systems function during power cuts, said a medical officer at Karamadai upgraded PHC, which has 30 beds and covered 12 health sub centres.
A PHC pharmacist said that ILRs, which are used to store vaccines for polio, tuberculosis, measles and others, kept the temperature at between two and eight degrees. Even without power supply, it could maintain the optimum temperature for up to 12 hours. The PHCs also had deep freezer equipment used to make ice cubes for the portable vaccine carriers.

German novelist and humorist whose works were immensely popular in the first 20 years of the 19th century. His pen name, Jean Paul, reflected his admiration for the French writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Jean Paul's writing bridged the shift in literature from the formal ideals of Weimar Classicism to the intuitive transcendentalism of early Romanticism.
Jean Paul's novels are peculiar combinations of sentiment, irony, and humour expressed in a highly subjective and involuted prose style that is marked by rapid transitions of mood. His books are formless, lacking in action, and studded with whimsical digressions, but to some extent they are redeemed by the author's profuse imagination and equal capacity for realistic detail and dreamlike fantasy. One favourite theme is the tragicomic clash between the soul's infinite aspirations and the trivial restrictions of everyday life. Jean Paul greatly influenced his contemporaries by his simple piety, humanity and warmth, his religious attitude toward nature, and his beguiling mixture of sentimentality, fantasy, and humour. After the mid-19th century the unevenness and undisciplined form of his novels began to detract rather than add to his reputation, but the deep humanity of his finest works has preserved them from oblivion.
He died 14 November 1825,at 20:00 (8 p.m.)in Bayreuth. (annot. mik)

Marchesa caters to the high-wattage fashion crowd
NEW YORK Marchesa is a glamorous, movie-star fashion house: Its specialty is the show-stopping red carpet dresses you're likely to see on Kate Hudson, Sienna Miller or "Annie," known to the rest of us as Anne Hathaway.
The gowns seem a perfect complement to the label's co-founders, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, two Brits-turned-New Yorkers who fit nicely into the glitzy fabric of the fashion world, clinking champagne glasses with the A-list of editors, stylists and models who'll attend the Marchesa preview at New York Fashion Week, which starts Thursday. Creative director Chapman is even married to film producer-mogul Harvey Weinstein.
So it would seem that Marchesa had potential to become a vanity project like some other celebrity-socialite collections, most of which have come and gone. Marchesa has more going for it, though, not the least of which is the passion and skill of Chapman and Craig.
The duo had known each other when they were students at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London and talked about having their own collection, probably loungewear.
But as Chapman earned her degree in costume design and Craig in textiles, they and their plan drifted.
However, after working as a both a model and behind-the-scenes costumer, Chapman decided she wanted to be her own boss. They rekindled their friendship and - just like that - Marchesa was born in 2004, except they had nothing really to sell and definitely no business model.
They did have an invitation to a "smart party," though, Chapman says, and they decided to wear their own designs. Chapman wore a backless sari dress that caught the eye of the late influential fashion editor Isabella Blow, who had a reputation for finding young talent.
Blow asked if she could borrow the dress to wear to the Paris runway shows. Blow also was the one who recommended they stick with eveningwear.
"Once we started, we had so much fun," says Chapman.
And, with Marchesa Luisa Casati, the eccentric European style chameleon, as their muse, a vision of a unique brand was emerging.
It was good, if coincidental, timing that their gowns, all one-of-a-kind, started making the rounds to Hollywood stylists just as the weekly celebrity magazines exploded into a huge force in fashion. "We saw the red carpets and saw them as an amazing marketing tool," Chapman says, and they'd carry big suitcases back and forth to Los Angeles.
The buzz started when Renee Zellweger wore a red Marchesa dress to a high-wattage premiere, and it's been one star after another, including Rihanna in a laser-cut leather number and Cameron Diaz in a micro-mini modern tuxedo style.
"Celebrities are drawn to Marchesa because the dresses are ultra-feminine and beautifully made. They truly make one feel like a modern princess," says Cindy Weber Cleary, InStyle magazine's fashion director.
But, says Craig, while the red carpet got them noticed, it was an order from Neiman Marcus to do both a top-tier collection and a secondary label called Notte that made the difference in their business.
