Got Cables, Wires and Cords...Everywhere? KEEP 'EM ORGANIZED WITH QUALITY CABLE TIES! Forget the "Use Once & Destroy" Plastic Ties - They're JUNK! Check These Out: 12 Pack Reusable Nylon Hook & Eye Ties... 100% REUSABLE - 100% TOUGH! Literally 1000's of Uses ALL Over the House! Amazing Deal Today - BUY ONE GET ONE FREE Cables and Wires and Cords...OH MY! Cable ties. What can we really say about 'em? They a useful organization tool that can save you a LOT of grief in the long run. Take, for example, that mess of wires and cords under your desk. You've got computer cords, printer cords, cables, extension cords...They're EVERYWHERE! Ever Feel Like You're Swimming in Cables & Cords? How many times have you got your foot caught in that rats nest? You're lucky you haven't pulled your computer right off your desk and onto the floor! You've got phone wires, internet cables, charging cords...there's no end in sight - you've gotta have them, but this is getting ridiculous! basically, they've began taking over your life, and you NEED to do something about it! Talk about unsightly... Same goes for behind your television. Who likes looking at a twisted up mass of cables in their living room? Nobody - that's why we use cable ties! But the Plastic Ones are COMPLETE GARBAGE! They certainly are! I mean, you can use them once, but if you happen to need to undo the ties to move things around, well...you'll never be able to use them again because you had to cut them! That's Why you NEED These: Nylon Construction - Hook & Eye Operation! You're probably wondering what "Hook & Eye" means, right? It's simple - just like a watch strap, there's an attached "keeper" on the tie. Simply wrap the nylon tie around your mass of cables, slide the end through the keeper and pull it tight! That's it! Not Only Will These Last FOREVER - They're 100% Reusable! That's the beauty of this design! Let's say you add a new cable (or cables) to that already huge mass under your desk. If you had plastic ties, you'd have to cut them all and replace them with new ones...with these, you simply loosen it, slide the keeper back through and then tighten it up again! Bottom Line: You'll NEVER Have to But Cable Ties Again! No More UNSIGHTLY Messes! So what can you use these for? ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! The question should be "what CAN'T you use 'em for?!" Seriously - got a huge rat's nest of cables around the back of your television? Sick of the way it looks? Well guess what, straighten them out, snap a few of these on 'em, and they're locked in nice, tight and organized! And since these nylon ties are so STRONG, you can use them for heavy duty cords and cables without ever having to worry about them snapping! Color Coded for SIMPLE Organization! I could go on an on about everything you can do with these, but instead I'll just say this: having these in MULTIPLE COLORS makes organization a breeze! No matter what you're using them for, you can color code all of it and remember what's clamped where! That's just the icing on the cake - you already know all of the uses you'll get outta these things! **Buy One 12 Pack - Get One FREE!** Here's the deal: we scored a great deal on these hook & eye cable ties, and we're giving you a GREAT opportunity today!

Pay Attention: It's an Earbud REVOLUTION! The PERFECT Earbuds For Your Active Lifestyle! BRAND NEW SPORT HOOK OVER-THE-EAR DESIGN! Solid Construction - Lightweight - Amazing Comfort! CUSTOMIZABLE - THEY ADAPT TO YOUR EARS! Your Earbuds Will NEVER Fall Out Again! Brilliant Sound - Noise Reduction Technology - Silicone Buds! Sport Hook Earbuds + Your Ears = A Match Made in HEAVEN! When Life Demands Security - You've Got the PERFECT Earbuds! Why Even Bother? Every time you try to go running, play basketball, get on the exercise bike - whatever - you're constantly fighting with your junky earbuds. Either they're falling out at the worst possible times, or you're continuously jamming them back into your head. This inconvenience has been a fact of life for athletes all over the world forever, and guess what? Someone FINALLY did something about it! No more constant adjustments, and no more interruptions! Ready for a set of earbuds that comfortably stay in place during ANY rigorous activity - WITHOUT losing any quality? Thought so - check this out! Brilliant Design - High Quality! CUSTOMIZE YOUR COMFORT! These Sport Hook Earbuds are designed with 3 things in mind: Comfort, Security, and High-Quality Sound! So let's just do a quick breakdown of these features, starting with the most important attribute: comfort! Put 'Em Over Your Ears and Adjust! As you can see, these are designed to comfortably go over your ear first, then you stick the buds in. Due to the revolutionary over-the-ear design, the buds don't actually go inside of your ear canal - making for exceptional comfort, security AND safety! Once they're over your ears, you can easily adjust the buds to your comfort without worrying about how securely they're sitting! Solid Construction - Quality Materials - Exceptional Comfort! The Sport Hooks: The over-the-ear hooks are constructed of super comfortable rubber coated metal! At just 1/8'' wide and 1/16'' thick, they manage to be both unbelievably strong AND lightweight - you won't even know they're in! Seriously, your ears have NEVER felt anything like it! The Buds: Without a doubt, these are the most COMFORTABLE earbuds we've EVER tried! The unconventional design of the sport hooks allow revolutionary results: the buds don't actually go inside your ear canal, but rather sit right on the rim - and with their noise reduction technology and stunning clarity...WOW! They're so comfortable that, if not for the amazing sound coming out of them, you'd forget you even had them on! That brings up the next point... BRILLIANT SOUND! With a sensitivity of 100db, these babies are LOUD AND CLEAR! Seriously, no matter how loud you want your music to be, you can rest assured that the sound will remain clear! How? It's Called Noise Reduction Technology! This finely tuned bit of technology is used in the most high-end earbuds, and it hasn't been left out of these! The precise outer ring of the silicone buds sits at a wider diameter then the actual buds, effortlessly blocking out background noise, and feeding your ears 100% rockin' sound! There's nothing worse than trying to get into the groove of your workout but not being able to because you can hardly hear your music. That will NEVER happen with these. Whether the volume is high or low, you're getting premium sound! Finally: The PERFECT Cord! Here's one more feature that make these stand out from the sea of other active earbuds: the perfect cord! At four feet long, you're getting a cord that's long enough to go from your hip (where you might keep your music player) to your ears without all that excess cord! There's not a whole lot worse than snagging your cord on something and getting your earbuds ripped from your head - that hurts! With a four foot cord, it's going to reach no matter how tall you are, and it's not so long that you have all that sloppy excess cord dangling around, just begging for something to snag on to! Worldstart Tested - People Approved! We tested these amazing earbuds in the field ourselves! We went running, did aerobics AND played racquetball with ZERO issues! In fact, the person who tested these confirmed: if not for the amazingly clear sound coming outta them, she would have completely forgotten they were in! UNBELIEVABLE QUALITY - STUNNING PRICE! These literally JUST hit the market, and we were able to grab a shipment at an unbelievably low price...and you guessed it - we're passing the savings directly on to you! Today, get your Sport Hook Earbuds for just $10.97 with FREE US SHIPPING! http://store.worldstart.com/product/7622 PS: These are gonna sell out in the blink of an eye. If you need quality, you need these - get yours now, because the next shipment won't come so cheap! Batteries Cost a FORTUNE! They Also Tend to Die at the WORST Possible Times... Wouldn't it be GREAT if Someone Did Something About That? Guess What? Someone Did! It's an ENGINEERING BREAKTHROUGH! Get Ready to Save a LOADS of Money and Time! Even Ole' Benjamin Franklin Would Get A Kick Out Of This! Say goodbye to dead flashlights forever. Never find yourself with the wrong size battery every again! This wonderful product allows you to convert a smaller battery into a larger size! It's a pain. If you live in the midwest as I do, you're probably all-to-familiar with the "dead-flashlighs-at-the-worst-times-ever-syndrome." It storms here every week in the summer, so bad that it knocks out our electricity quite often (yeah, I live in the country). Picture this. Your power goes out in your house. When this happens, and you have a basement, what do you think about first? That's right, your sump pump. You're gonna have-to stumble down to that dark basement and make sure everything's in-check. You need a flashlight. There's only one problem. You have to first find your (lost) flashlight (in the dark) - but that's just a small problem - because the REAL stress sets in once you actually find your flashlight and realize it doesn't work! The batteries are all dead! All of them! Again! I blame the kids. They probably raided the entire house and stole all the C & D batteries for their RC Monster Truck, Rock Band Gear, or something. Good news - this is no longer a problem... Its a huge opportunity for you! Here's Why: "ReZAP Battery Converters allow you to save the stress and convert your AAs into Cs and Ds instantly! Each pack contains 2 C-size converters and 2 D-size converters." NOTE: You may want to read the statement above a few more times because this is a major engineering breakthrough! Here's a few examples of this amazing battery wizardry: Convenience - one size fits all, no more hunting around for different size batteries for different devices. Very easy to use - snap a AA battery in and out of the case in seconds and you're ready to go. Reduce weight - AA battery plus converter weighs less than a C or D size battery. Save money - AA batteries are generally cheaper than equivalent C or D size batteries. All the power you need - AA batteries deliver the same power as C or D batteries and pack almost as much capacity too! Great for emergencies - you know, like.... unexpected power outages or emergencies. How Does It Work and Why Is It So Successful? It's simple. First open the converter case, insert one AA battery, and close the case. Works with any AA battery, but works even better with high energy batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Alkaline). Question: So let me get this straight, if I run out of C or D batteries and I have some AAs laying around, I can use them in these "battery converters" - and turn them into Cs or Ds? Answer: Yes! I think you got it. Take a look at the picture I have to the right, notice the 4 cases in the package. The 2 smaller casses are C sized converters, and the larger cases are D sized converters. All four cases use AA batteries to make them work.. Makes Life So Much Easier! Got an electronic device that requires MORE than 2 C or D batteries? No problem. Because even if you use the 2 good converters and keep an old dead battery in, for example, a flashlight. It will still work like a charm. Customer feedback: I will never ask you to judge us on our own words; Just take a look at the product reviews below, You'll be delighted!! "I cannot praise this product highly enough. ...if you are a big battery user, get one as soon as possible, you won't regret it" -Vocrobot, Review Centre. "A terrific product.

"I bought the Rezap Battery Converter because it seemed like every time a thunderstorm knocked the power out all our flashlight battery's were dead. Now I don't have to worry about that. Thanks for a great product." -A. Banks, NSW. "I wish I'd known about this years ago! With four young kids, the amount of batteries we use is enormous.

OS X Daily: “Quickly Get a Router IP Address from the Command Line” plus 1 more

---

Quickly Get a Router IP Address from the Command Line Posted: 23 Mar 2012 02:17 PM PDT To quickly retrieve the IP address of the router you are connected through, type the following at the command line: netstat -rn |grep default The result will look something like this, showing the router IP directly after “default”: default 192.168.1.1 UGSc 108 0 en0 netstat will work for both wired and wireless connections, the difference of which will be shown as the interface. These are typically en0 and en1, though the port interfaces will vary slightly with Macs that don’t include ethernet ports or AirPort wireless card, and for Macs with only one form of network connectivity it will almost always be en0. For users who don’t want to bother with the command line, the router IP can also be found from the Network system preference panel. Thanks to Hans and Jen for the tip

Solution to the iPad 3 Heat Problem [Humor] Posted: 23 Mar 2012 02:14 PM PDT If your iPad 3 is getting too hot to handle, the solution is to use the iPad outdoors in three feet of snow. Three feet of snow is required because there is a direct correlation between the iPad generation and the amount of snow required to cool the device, thus iPad 3 requires 3 feet of snow. For those of you who don’t have access to three feet of snow, try placing the iPad 3 in a freezer at least three feet under ground, while holding three fingers in the air for at least three seconds while counting backwards from three. This is obviously a joke, and you’ll notice we haven’t mentioned anything about the mythical iPad 3 heat problem, mostly because it doesn’t exist and we don’t want to reward manufactured controversy. This was funny enough to post on a Friday though, so enjoy a tip that’s about as useless as the original Consumer Reports BS that started it all. Thanks to Ryan for the picture

It was not an easy task & we did have a couple of snags. But T.C. was always back w/me to continue his work. It all turned out great and he gave me the answers to all of my questions. Congratulations to Cloudeight on this new venture of Direct Computer Care, and it has already been a great help to me. Many, many thanks to T.C. & his knowledge. JoAnn Thanks so much JoAnn. We're glad that we were able to help you with your computer troubles!  Thanks for your nice comments and for using Cloudeight Direct Computer Care. TC & EB QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dave can't remember his wireless security key I can't remember what my security key for my wireless network is and want to use it on my new iPad. How do I find out what this key is? Thanks! Our Answer Here is an easy way to recover your wireless router security key, and it works well most of the time. It's called "Wireless Key View" by Nirsoft. It's a very small download – zip file – that you simple extract to a folder and click on the exe file to use it. In the main view you'll see the key in both HEX and Ascii. You'll be most interested in Ascii – that's your wireless key. You can download WirelessKeyView from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html  . Note there are two versions – one for 32bit computers and one for 64bit. And don't forget to read the program's documentation. We hope this helps you. This program sets off alarm bells in many security programs because of the type of program it is. The program is 100% free from viruses, spyware and malware. You can ignore your security program's warnings if this program upsets your security program :-) . Jane asks us about a program called "Recuva" What do you about a program called "Recuva"? It's suppose to help recover files which have been deleted. This could be very useful to me since I recently deleted an entire folder of photos that I can't replace. What's the catch? Can you really recover files which have been deleted? Our Answer Hi Jane. We're familiar with Recuva. In fact a couple of years ago it was one of our freeware picks. It's a good program and it works, but it's important to know its limitations. Here is how Recuva works: If you've deleted something and emptied your recycle bin the files you've deleted are not really gone. Most of them may be completely recoverable, if they have not been overwritten with other data. But, in order to retrieve deleted files which have been removed from your Recycle Bin, you need the right tools. That's where a program like "Recuva" comes in handy. Recuva will scan your drives for files you've deleted and recover them - if they're recoverable (i.e. they've not been overwritten with other data). Keep this in mind: The more time that passes between the time you deleted the files and the time you attempt to recover them, the more unlikely it is you'll be able to recover a deleted file. So it's really essential if you deleted something really important that you don't wait too long to attempt to recover it. A good rule to remember is to attempt to recover the files you've deleted by accident as soon as you realize what you've done. Let's say you took pictures of a birthday bash last Friday. And, tomorrow, you want show these pictures to some friends who were acting crazy at the party. But now you can't find all those wonderful pictures. You panic. Someone deleted all of those wonderful birthday shots and emptied the recycle bin. Now you have to find those pictures somewhere. What you need is Recuva. Recuva will scan your hard drives and find all the files you've deleted that can be recovered (and even show you the ones you cannot recover unless you spend about a zillion dollars on professional recovery software). "Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer.

COMPUTER TIPS AND TRICKS What to do when Adobe Flash becomes unresponsive in Google Chrome Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 Google Chrome browser installed I use Google Chrome as my default browser. Several times I've had Adobe Flash crash right in the middle of doing something important. It seems that Flash becoming unresponsive in Chrome is quite common. And it happens for a reason. Chrome comes with an integrated version of Flash installed. If you also have Firefox installed and you install Flash for Firefox, it also installs as a plugin in Chrome - and this can cause conflicts and problems when you view a page using Flash. So here's how to fix it. Open Chrome Type about:plugins into the address bar at the top and press the ENTER key to display Chrome's Plugins page Look down the list of Plugins for 'Flash' – if it says 'Flash (2 files)' you do have both versions of Flash installed which may cause Chrome to crash when accessing Flash-based websites Click on the '+ Details' link at the top right of the Plugins page to expand the list of all Plugins Scroll down the list to find the Flash plugin – you should now see the full details of the Flash plugin displaying two versions of Flash. Look at the 'Location:' of each version – one is the integrated Chrome version (…Application Data\Google\Chrome etc) and the other is the standalone Adobe (formerly Macromedia) version which is in the …Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash etc directory. Click on 'Disable' just under the Location of the Chrome version to disable it (and it will become grayed out) Ensure that the standalone Adobe version is enabled – if it is disabled (grayed out) click the 'Enable' link just under its Location to enable it and then close the Plugins tab Download  the latest Adobe standalone version of Flash from here  (this is the Firefox/Chrome version) and save to your computer. Close Chrome and then install the newest standalone version of Flash you just downloaded. Now restart Chrome and go to the Adobe Flash Player test page at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  to make sure Flash is installed and working correctly. Since you have disabled the integrated version of Chrome,  you will need make sure the standalone Adobe version is updated regularly. This is important because outdated versions of Flash leave you open to vulnerabilities. To enable automatic updates for Flash, go to Control Panel\Flash Player and open the Flash Player Settings Manager. Now click on the Advanced tab and in the Updates section select "Check for updates automatically (Recommended)." Are You Getting the Broadband Speeds You're Paying For? Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 I don't know exactly what speed I'm supposed to get. I'm using RoadRunner Turbo. But when I first connected to the Internet back in 1995 -- way back then - all we had was dialup. I can remember downloading freeware and panicking if the size of the file was larger than say, one megabyte. I used to figure it would take me 6 minutes to download one megabyte. So if there was file that was 5MB -- I figured 30 minutes. I could go eat lunch in 30 minutes and come back and the file would be downloaded -- if I was lucky. I had to keep your fingers crossed that my Internet connection wouldn't burp during that 30 minutes and stop the download. If it did, I had to start all over. And it often burped. Anyway -- I just looked it up and I'm supposed to be paying for 10mbps and I'm getting around 7mbps. I wonder if they will give me a 30% discount for the 30% lower-than-advertised speed. Haha. Right! Whatever speed I'm getting -- I'm happy. I can download a 5MB file in a second or two which is a lot better than 30 minutes - although I don't have time for lunch now -- well I mean during the download. And a lot of things affect your Internet connection speed. If you're on a wireless connection like I am right now - the distance from the router can cause a degradation in speed. Sometimes a server on the Internet will be slower because of Internet traffic. A lot of things affect the speed of your connection - as I'm sure my ISP would gladly point out. It's always fun to see how fast or slow you connection is. And we've found a really nice program that lets you check your Internet connection speed in the background while you work or play. And it keeps track of the fluctuations in your connection speed and saves them to a file so you can confront your ISP if you think you're not getting the speed you're paying for. Or you can use the log to test your Internet tweaking, or your new router, or your new cable modem, or your new network card, or your new wireless configuration. Or you can just use it to check your connection speeds over the course of time. Is this a program you really need? Nah! Is it a program that is useful? Yes, I think so. Is it fun? Very much so. Here's what the developer has to say: Does your Internet services provider supply you with the service speeds that were advertised? Does it do this 24 hours a day 7 days a week? With this free program you can do regular internet speed tests in the background. It logs all your data and enables you to see at a glance what your speeds are doing over the course of the hour/day/week/month etc. It will test your download & upload speeds your ping times, packet loss and jitter. It will generate a CSV log file for all this data and also present you with a graphical representation. you can also create screen shots of the graph & the manual results window. The memory usage i have managed to get down to approx < 2MB whilst in "sleep" mode (in tray) so a very small footprint. Test download speed from a list of supplied default servers Test Upload speed to a donated testing server Test Ping, Pkloss & Jitter to/from any applicable URL Add any user chosen test file URL's Test download speed from multiple servers with each test Test download & upload speeds from/to personal servers Test all, some or just one attribute (DL, UL, Ping, Pkloss, Jitter) Load results log into any program that supports .CSV Send automated emails when thresholds are reached It's called JDAUTO Speed Tester and it's good clean freeware -- no bundles or other garbage in the installer. It's a 3.63MB download and it's available from the author's site right here.

I'd paint scenes of children splashing in rain puddles and laughing in their innocence. Alas I cannot paint and I'm not an artist; I envy those who are. How amazing it must be to take the images in the mind and put them down on canvas. Maybe you're an artist or maybe you have some artistic talent to unleash.

It's hard to separate myself from all that swirls around me and imagine a simpler day, a simpler time, a simpler place. Someday these kinds of busy days will be far behind me and I'll have only the vaguest memories of them. And when that someday comes, I'll yearn for the time when my days were full and busy and the swirling retinue of having so many things to do would be a welcome and much appreciated reprise. There's a constant yearning within me - for what I used to be, for what I might have been, for what I still might be. My world has grown so big and complex and it hard sometimes not to yearn for the small and uncomplicated world I knew as a child. When I was a child my world was small and uncomplicated; my dreams were unfettered by the restrictions of what is possible, untainted by reality: the dreams of a child are pure. When I was a child I had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player, a TV weatherman, a rock star, a movie star, a writer, a fireman who race to fires in a white fire truck, a lone sailor sailing a vast but placid sea, discovering uncharted islands, an astronaut landing on a distant planet, and so many other things. The bigger my world gets, the smaller my dreams become. Read the rest of this essay here. Our Information Avenue Web Site The best of our tips and tricks, freeware picks and more are now online!
