Spacer Beads

Easy Beginnings – Make Your First Pair Of Earrings Using Beads

So you want to make a pair of bead earrings, do you? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Here I’m going to break down all you need to know about what type of tools and beads you need to have, as well as the steps you need to follow to make your first pair of earrings. Are you ready? Let’s go!

TOOLS

- One pair of round-nosed pliers.

- One wire cutter.

- Findings.

- Two headpins.

- Two ear wires.

BEADS

As far as beads go, there really is no right or wrong way to go about this. The choice is up to you. Might I suggest that you experiment with different types of shapes, sizes, colors and finishes? The possibilities you can come up with literally are endless. Whether you decide to use plastic, metal, semiprecious or glass beads doesn’t matter. What does matter, however, is that you make sure you have two of each bead you decide to use so that your earrings will match.

Now that you’ve gathered the necessary tools and beautiful beads you want, what do you say we get started?

STEPS

Step One: You should start by arranging a few beads on your first headpin. If necessary, you can use spacer beads to break up the different colored beads. This is entirely optional, but not a requirement.

Step Two: When you’ve come to the decision that you like the design you have going, cut the extra headpin, leaving enough room for about half an inch above the first bead.

Step Three: Depending on whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, you’re going to take which ever hand you use the most, grab your pliers, and hold the headpin. At the same time that you’re holding the headpin and beads with your dominant hand, you’re going to push down ever so gently on the top bead so that it’s out of your way.

Step Four: Taking your pliers, grab the end of the headpin tightly while twisting your wrist until the end of the headpin starts to create a small loop or circle. Keep in mind that you don’t want the circle to be too big or too small, as it has to be small enough to close securely in order for the ear wire to not slip out. If your loop isn’t perfectly round like you would hope for it to be, that’s okay.

Step Five: Hold your pliers in one hand, while holding ear wire in the other. Now move the pliers in one direction, opening the loop on the ear wire, and move your hand in the opposite direction. You should be opening the loop just enough to fit the wire on it. Whatever you do, do NOT pry or pull the loop open, because that will make it hard to close it.

Step Six: While the ear wire loop is still open, hang the headpin loop on it.

Step Seven: Taking your handy pliers again, close the circle of the ear wire loop. Do this a second time, and you’ll have your first pair.

If you’ve gotten this far, then guess what? You’ve just created your first pair of bead earrings! With more practice, you can create even more fun beaded jewelry.

Powermat – What Gadgets Can You Charge With a Powermat Wireless Charger?

PowerMat is a new device on the market that allows you to wirelessly charge a range of gadgets, such as cellphones and handheld video games. You just drop them on the PowerMat – its magnets pull each device into the optimal position for charging, and then charge it via magnetic fields. Lights and sounds indicate the status of the device and tell you when it is fully charged (at which point the PowerMat is clever enough to switch off).

What devices can you charge with PowerMat and how do you do it? These devices fall into three main categories: cellphones (mobile phones), handheld games consoles, and miscellaneous devices. For some devices there are special receivers that are attached to the device for convenient wireless charging. Other devices have to be charged with a more conventional wired connector – for this purpose the PowerMat comes with a dedicated PowerCube Universal Receiver and multiple connectors (known as ‘tips’).

Cellphones:

• Apple iPhone 3G: There is dedicated support for the iPhone 3G; it requires the fitting of a special PowerMat compatible receiver case (purchased separately). The iPhone can also be charged with a special PowerCube Apple tip (included) or receiver dock (purchased separately).
• Apple iPhone 3GS: A dedicated receiver is close to launch for the iPhone 3GS. In the meantime use the special PowerCube Apple tip (included) or receiver dock (purchased separately).
• Apple iPhone (other models): Use the special PowerCube Apple tip (included) or receiver dock (purchased separately).
• RIM BlackBerry Bold, Curve 8300, Curve 8900 and Pearl: There is dedicated support for these Blackberry models; it requires the fitting of a special PowerMat compatible battery door (purchased separately).
• RIM BlackBerry Tour: A dedicated receiver is close to launch for the BlackBerry Tour, in the meantime use micro-USB tip (included).
• RIM BlackBerry (other models including Storm): Use mini-USB or micro-USB tips as required (included).
• LG: Use LG 1 or micro-USB tips (included).
• Samsung: Use Samsung 2 tip (included).
• Motorola: Use micro-USB or mini-USB tips (included).
• Palm: Use micro-USB tip (included).
• Bluetooth Headset: Use micro-USB tip (included).
• HTC: Use mini-USB tip (included).
• Nokia: Use special Nokia 2mm tip (purchased separately).
• Sony Ericsson: Use special Sony Ericsson tip (purchased separately).

Games:

• Nintendo DS Lite: There is dedicated support for the Nintendo DS Lite; it requires fitting a special PowerMat compatible receiver back (purchased separately). The DS Lite can also be charged with a special PowerCube DS Lite tip (included).
• Nintendo DSi: There is dedicated support for the Nintendo DSi; it requires fitting a special PowerMat compatible receiver back (purchased separately). The DSi can also be charged with a special PowerCube DSi tip (included).
• Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP): Use Sony PSP tip (included).

Note that the receiver backs do not need to be removed for game play. Receivers for other game consoles are under development.

Other Devices:

• iPod Touch: There is dedicated support for the iPod Touch; it requires fitting a special PowerMat compatible receiver case (purchased separately). The iPod Touch can also be charged with a special PowerCube Apple tip (included) or receiver dock (purchased separately).
• iPod (other models): Use Apple tip (included) or receiver dock (purchased separately).
• GPS devices: Use mini-USB tip (included).
• Some Kodak cameras: Use Sony PSP tip (included).

It can be seen that there is very good coverage of most handheld devices by the PowerMat. However, many of these have to be charged using the PowerCube so if true wireless capability for particular devices is important then it is worthwhile checking to ensure that receivers are available for them.

Ringing In Left Ear – Explanation Of Unilateral Tinnitus

Is continuous ringing in the left ear becoming a major problem? If so, you are not going thru this alone. This ailment affects millions of people around the globe…men, women, and children alike. Tinnitus is the latin term for ringing in the ears. Peruse through this content to get better aquianted with a few of the reasons behind this ear ringing problem.

Ringing in the left ear can be the result of various conditions, so lets go over to a few of them:

1. High decibel Sounds – Small hair-like cells on the Cochlea (in the middle ear) convert sound waves into electrochemical currents that transfer auditory information to the brain. Ear-piercing sounds can damage these “hair-cells”, and the brain will continue to interpret false signals sent by the damages cells. This causes the ringing in left ear.
2. Ear trauma – Small bones, auditory nerves, and sensory pieces exist in the middle ear. Whenever these components of the middle ear become damaged or traumatized, this can cause the auditory nerve to send incorrect data to the brain.. Thereby leading to ringing in the ear.
3. Stress or Anxiety – Work related strain or anxiety for many different reasons can cause stress.. Excessive stress has been found to cause chemical imbalances in the body, which in turn causes fluid levels in the inner ear to become unstable. This can lead to ear ringing symptoms.
4. Infection – The Eustachian tube is designed to drain excess fluid away from the middle ear. When this tube becomes inflamed, fluid will not to able to drain from the middle ear, and leads to infection. As with most infections, the bodies instinctive reaction is to send more fluid to the infected area., and this leads to pulsating noises in the ear.

Fortunately, permanent relief from ringing in left ear is attainable…not just short-term relief. Tinnitus CAN be treated effectively without relying on surgical procedures, psychiatric treatment, or prescription drugs. By simply focusing on the origin of the noise, you’ll be able to forever get rid of ringing in the ears. Previously, tinnitus sufferers would look for the most effective methods to control ringing in left ear, today it’s a matter of how to permanently stop it.

In most cases, serious Tinnitus symptoms will not disappear by itself. If ringing in left ear happens on a continual basis, this is not something to take lightly.Tinnitus treatment is right around the corner as long as you take action and follow the most appropriate recommendations.
