CordCruncher Headphone Prevents Stress By Tangled Cables
The universal bane of anyone who regularly uses headphones, tangled cords can make the simple task of plugging in a frustrating hassle. Cue in the CordCruncher Headphone's elastic sleeve design, adjustable anywhere from 16" to 3.5', and effective in preventing cords from winding themselves into knots tighter than shoelaces...
Available in Matte Black, Pearl Blue, Rocket Red, and iGizmo White, the Kickstarter project is on the horizon of becoming a real retail product in the coming weeks; the MSRP will be $24.99.
And if the CordCrunch sounds a bit rich for your blood, there's always the dental floss DIY solution (just remember not to use used floss).
5 Comments
$24.99 for a cord keeper? I don't think so. But this post did inspire me to create my own cord detangler by placing my cord between a few thoughtfully placed strips of velcro. Heading to the sewing supplies basket right now...
With as many folks that hate the tangle issue, why haven't any headphones/earbuds makers addressed it? I'd pay extra for a set that didn't tangle.
I have a set of ear buds from UrbanEars that is cloth-covered from the jack to the split, and I have NO more issues with tangles. Also, heat shrink tubing is pretty easy to apply to headphone cords... That stuff is like $3.50 a bag at a hardware store.
Nice idea with the shrink tubing. I'd not thought of that. I even have some sitting around.
I've been using an old plastic container from those travel/purse/small size q-tip packages to hold my ear plugs. I wrap them around my hand and put them in the plastic box (maybe 2 x 3 x 1 inch). I never have a cord tangle problem and it saves the buds from getting gross or damaged from getting pulled on.

For $5 per year, a registered member can maintain an account accessible by licensed, trained and certified medics Med´ics

When emergency care is needed, authorized EMS responders are provided temporary, read-only access to a member's information using a HIPAA-compliant search engine. If ambulance transport is required, medics can automatically generate text or email messages to the member's designated ICE contacts, instantly notifying loved ones when and where the member is being transported by ambulance.

AAA-affiliated EMS providers will be the first to support the national rollout of the iB Web service.

About Invisible Bracelet
The Invisible Bracelet answers two basic questions in an emergency: what do emergency responders need to know about you, your allergies and medical needs and how should loved ones be notified. Like a virtual medical ID bracelet, iB is a HIPAA-compliant Web service that allows its members to share vital health information during emergencies with participating Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers. In the event of an emergency, responding medics within our service area can access the information patients make available. If transport is required, text or email messages will be delivered to a member's In Case of Emergency (ICE) contacts. The service costs $5 per member, per year.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children have been attending here for two years--the teachers have been excellent and my children have not only learned but had fun as well. The principal is very dedicated. The facility is safe and well-maintained, and there is a lot of school spirit. I consider this school to be one of the finest elementary schools in the Roanoke Valley.
Great school! Great teachers! My kids went to Grandin Ct in 2010/11.We are in another state now and my kids are ahead of everybody in their classes. I am very thankful for the education they received at Grandin Court Elementary and the wonderful teachers they had.
the school was awful my daughter whent there 01-06 pk-5th the teachers were rude and mean to her and our family the principal was cokky and mean to everyone the parents were ok but they excluded everyone from anything so i would not send your child to this school
I feel my child is safe there. The school appears to be well managed and maintained and my childs teacher (Miss Leslie) is amazing with her students. SO thanks.
The spirit of Grandin Court is great. From Administrator to teacher to para, I felt this school is unique as an outsider visiting the school. The children are so happy and learning is truly apparent. I sometimes wish the children could appreciate the 'home' like atmosphere that is tranmited to them in both learning and attitude shown by the adults working there.
I have three children at Grandin Court Elementary (Pre-K, K, and 3rd). This school is exceptional. The teachers, prinicipal, and all of the staff are wonderful. The children are happy and well behaved. Parents are involved. The school has a warm and positive learning environment. They accept, nurture, and challenge children at every academic level and still make learning fun. I used to teach at a great school in Roanoke County and took my son with me there for kindgergarten and first grade. My children began to attend Grandin Court last year (2007-08) when I resigned from teaching, and I have been nothing but pleased and impressed with this fabulous little school.
A great leader is what drives a great school. The principal at Grandin Court is open and inviting. This allows parents and teachers to address her when the need arises. I can not say enough good things about Grandin Court. It is a great school to work at and learn in. I am proud to be a part of it!

Turn tabs on? WHERE?
I can get the debug menu just fine, but I can't seem to get the tabs working as described in the ThinkSecret article. Do I have to enable something other than the debug menu? I tried apple-t (like in Chimera) but nothing happens.
Turn tabs on? WHERE?
after you turn on the debug menu, you must select the 'tabbed browsing' entry in the debug menu. it is the last entry.
Turn tabs on? WHERE?
I just read the same article in "think Secret" and cant figure out where the tap browsing is either.They have the "Back/Forward cache" shown with a check mark on,but so does mine and still no tap browsing...

The answer, in my humble opinion, is no.
The answer, in my humble opinion, is no. It is no more mobile than a laptop or even a netbook. If a device can't fit in your pocket, or non-excessively huge purse, then it's not mobile. Mobile means 24/7—anytime, anywhere. And you just can't have an iPad with you like you can an iPhone or other truly mobile device.
The iPad is in the category known as tablet PCs. They are akin to netbooks in that they offer less functionality than a full-on laptop. They are different from netbooks and laptops in their interface, which is typically touchscreen sans a hard keyboard. Tablets are not mobile devices, they are a form of PC. Yes, you can create an app for an iPad. But that's simply an optimized software experience for the hardware. People create applications for PCs every day, and you certainly can't fit a PC in your pocket. What's more, you can shop a standard e-commerce site on an iPad with ease—the screen size of the iPad is barely different than that of basic laptops.
You may be wondering why all the fuss. Well, I track mobile commerce on a day-to-day basis, and the majority of people selling, creating apps for and using iPads insist the iPad is a mobile device. If that's the case, then activity and sales via the iPad must be considered m-commerce. If it's not a mobile device, then activity and sales via the iPad are e-commerce. So what's a mobile researcher and writer to do?
Well, there just isn't an easy answer yet. So I'm going to watch how consumers use iPad apps, and how they browse and shop e-commerce sites on the device. (Keep an eye on your web logs to measure iPad traffic—and conversion.) And as the mobile commerce channel continues to evolve, we'll see where retailers attribute sales stemming from the iPad. Hopefully not to m-commerce—because I really dislike when the meaning of words, in this case mobile, are altered to fit the desires of marketers. (Don't get me started on "marketing-speak.")
If you believe the iPad is truly a mobile device, I would love to hear your argument. You've got all the space you like below. Bring it on.

Labour Market Information
Labour Market Information
As globalization, free trade and regional integration advance, there is an increased demand for readily available labour market information. Labour, but particularly income and employment indicators are critical in analysing economic and social progress at both the macro and the micro levels. Without these, no meaningful assessment of development performance is complete. Therefore, it is critical for each country to have timely information on labour and income aspects of the development process. This includes information on job losses and job creation, aggregate shifts in the allocation of labour between sectors and occupations, vacancies and job seekers, the quality of (new) jobs, the social costs of the transition process - including changes in income levels - and other information indicating how businesses and people are faring.
The ILO recognizes the importance of labour market information in the development process and has consistently provided assistance to Caribbean countries in this area throughout its existence, with the support of its various development partners.
In the most recent effort, the ILO implemented its Caribbean Labour Market Information System (CLMIS) Project from 2002-2005 with funding from the United States Department of Labor. The project aimed to develop and strengthen national labour market information systems to generate reliable, timely and internationally-comparable labour statistics for use by governments, policymakers, employers and trade unions. For example, a Labour Force Survey was designed for Saint Kitts and Nevis and Occupational Wage Survey designs were developed in Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago. The Bahamas and Guyana have since consistently implemented their annual Occupational Wage Surveys.
Building on the achievements of prior efforts, the ILO Subregional Office for the Caribbean started the implementation of a project aimed at the harmonization of Labour Force Surveys in the region. The project includes the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago and is being implemented in close collaboration with the CARICOM Secretariat and its Standing Committee of Caribbean Statisticians. This effort includes the production of statistics on under-employment and informal employment using the harmonized Labour Force Surveys (LFS). In the context of the technical assistance provided, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Suriname implemented their first measurement of the informal sector using the LFS in 2007.
Currently, technical assistance is being provided to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to strengthen their labour market information system as a pilot project to develop labour market information systems in all the OECS countries.

Subverting Fingerprinting
kdawson posted more than 4 years ago | from the on-a-stalk dept.169
squizzar writes in with news of a 27 year old Chinese woman who was discovered to have had her fingerprints surgically swapped between hands in order to fool Japanese immigration. "It is Japan's first case of alleged biometric fraud, but police believe the practice may be widespread. ... The apparent ability of illegal migration networks to break through hi-tech controls suggests that other countries who fingerprint visitors could be equally vulnerable — not least the United States, according to BBC Asia analyst Andre Vornic." Time for some biometric escalation. Could iris scans be subverted as easily?

Interiors of the Poyas-Mordecai House
69 Meeting Street
This house is within the original Grand Model of Historic Charleston. Built in 1788 in the Adamesque style of architecture, it was purchased in 1837 by Moses Cohen Mordecai, an important historic figure, who added the piazzas and connected the main house to the kitchen house. Mordecai, originally opposed to secession, became a blockade runner in support of the Confederacy and lost his entire fortune. Forced to flee to Baltimore after the war, he was again very successful in business. In 1870 Mr. Mordecai, at his own expense, brought home the bodies of South Carolina soldiers who fell at Gettysburg.

Watch Twin Town: Twin Town opens with wide sweeping shots of seaside Swansea; to be the place of action for the next one and a half hours. The serene setting with miles upon miles of old semi-detached housing is suddenly cleaved apart by two young lads tearing through the neighbourhood in a two tone BMW 525. Julian and Jeremy are in deep trouble. Their dysfunctional family scrapes together a living from their dole money and odd-jobs offered to their father. The boys have long since turned to drug abuse and car theft leading a happy-go-lucky life in downtown no-hoper city. In due course the plot thickens as the boys are out for revenge against wealthy club owner Bryn who is not particularly helpful in...

Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases contributing to global warming and subject to the Kyoto Protocol. Carbon emissions from deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels, changes in land use, and other human activities are increasing, while the earth's ability to soak up, or "fix" the carbon, is decreasing because of ocean and forest changes. Reforestation is a way to help restore the balance.

Due to a government plan to shut down the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center in Nevada, up to 1,400 captive tortoises will be relocated into wild tortoise habitats. However, desert tortoises in captivity are often not capable of surviving in the wild, and could even attract predators and spread disease to the already declining wild tortoise population.
Take action: Sign the petition to keep the Conservation Center open and preserve the wild tortoise habitat

Our parties provide you with not one, but TWO chefs. Twice as much cooking, twice as much food to eat and twice as much fun! We do encourage participation from all of the guests when appropriate. We encourage interaction and questions. Learn great recipes, techniques, helpful hints and tips to build confidence in your cooking. From novice to advanced-no one is left out!
In the comfort and privacy of your own home! We feel it is more realistic and beneficial to experience the lesson in a "real" kitchen, using your own oven and stove. If we can cook it in your kitchen-so can you!
The maximum number would be determined by the size of the cooking area in your home. We are able to expand your space with portable burners and folding tables if needed.
We will personalize the menu for your cooking party to meet your needs and requests. We do offer some "themes" for menu ideas as well. Or design your own!
All cooking parties are 2 - 2 1/2 hours long. We arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the party to set-up, organize.
Weekdays or weekends, daytime or evenings. It is usually best to give us at least 1 week notice to insure we can accommodate your request.

I Like To Move It Move It
Do I get a point or two for a second moving post with a 90's song reference in the title (here's the first one)? And since it's Friday, we figured we'd toss a video in. Oh but there are some bouncing booties on blast, just in case you're at work or have an old-enough-to-ask-questions kiddo on the ol' lap. You've been warned.
We're about 90% packed, which is a good thing with moving day looming around the corner (we're packing the truck on Sunday and officially moving on Monday afternoon if all goes well and our closing doesn't get bumped to Tuesday). Cross your fingers for us!
Here's how we're doing on our little to do list that we shared on Wednesday:
- remove every single item from the wall and patch/paint every nail hole in the house (this was actually about 500 times easier than I expected- just remove all the nails at once, spackle everything at once, and then paint room by room. It's a lot faster than doing those three things in each room before moving onto the next one since you'd be opening and closing the spackle and cleaning the putty knife about a million times).
- transfer all of our utilities so they start over at the new place on move-in day
- pack the entire bathroom (except for travel sized shampoo & conditioner, our toothbrushes, and the shower curtain)
- pack all of our frames, mirrors, books, ceramic animals, and 80% of the breakables (still need to do our dishware – yikes!)
- rake the yard so the new owners don't think they're moving into a giant leaf pile
- oversee the completion of a few random inspection items (some flue work is being done by a pro)
- get our oil measured for closing (new buyers pay for the oil that's left in the tank, isn't that a nice fair way to do it?)
- wave goodbye to our tan slipcovered Pottery Barn sofa in the den (someone from craigslist is supposed to be picking it up)
- pack the rest of the kitchen along with about 10% of the other rooms that still need to be done
- clean the oven and the fridge (can't really do this until right before we go)
- vacuum/sweep before locking the door with a tear in my eye
Not bad right? Just that last 10% of packing along with some cleaning is left and we're on to the new place with a spring in our step (ok, maybe no spring if we're carrying heavy boxes). After a long and stressful day yesterday – all the last minute closing details and papers are keeping us on our toes! – we went for a drive over to the new house and just gazed at it through the car windows. Even Clara and Burger looked. It definitely got us back into the excited state of mind that we're trying to live in for the next crazy few days. Ah new house, how do we love you. Let us count the ways…
And for those who love to see our house tore up from the floor up, here's how things are looking right this moment:
Oh and since a few people have been wondering, here's what is conveying (staying) with the sale of our house:
- all the appliances both in the kitchen and the laundry nook
- the storage pieces and cabinetry in the basement
- the built-in wardrobes on either side of our bed & the bed frame itself
- the floating shelves in the dining room
- all hardwired light fixtures and the plug in swing-arm lamps in the bedroom (except for the chandy from Clara's room, which we replaced with a standard light)
- all of the blinds, shades, curtain rods, and curtains in the house (except for the curtains in Clara's room- I'm just too sentimental to walk away from those)
- a folder of manuals and house info along with all the exterior & interior paint (labeled by room)
We're actually really happy to leave those things behind (they added up to a nice quick sale and an offer above our asking price). Now for another bulleted list (I'm on a roll here). These are a few packing things we're doing that seem to work well for an obsessive type-a gal like me:
- John came up with the genius idea to use blue painters tape to mark boxes that are breakable so we can easily identify the ones that we should be extra careful with
- He also decided to put a piece of painters tape on the cabinets in the kitchen that aren't empty yet (so we don't keep opening all the doors to see which ones are done and which ones still have to be packed)
- We're using a sharpie to write what's in nearly every box (so if we have to find Clara's bath stuff in a snap, we know where it is).
- Thanks to lots of recommendations, we hit up our local wine store for a few more boxes (they're free, sturdy, and some even have handles).
- We've packed a "vacation stash" of clothes, toiletries, baby stuff, etc that we'll rely on for the next few days here and the first few days at the new place (so there's no rush to dig through boxes for the essentials).
- We also packed a "good to have around" box for the new house that we're keeping in the car (with toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, cleaning supplies, cups for water, and a few other things we're sure we'll appreciate having right away for our friends & family members who are helping us move – and also for ourselves once they leave).
So far so good. Eye on the prize (aka: the new house). Eye on the prize…

These pictures make me sad :( . You should have sold your house fully furnished so that it could remain intact.
Where did you guys get those neat aqua/white diamond pillows that are on your couch at the moment? (or at the moment of packing :)).
I like how you keep a detailed file filled with house infos. Being in the information age, I'm sure any prospective buyer would find that valuable.
Keep up the good work. Very good post, highly appreciated. Hope to see some more of your stuffs.
