Finally, an ideal case for your iPhone 5. Not just stylish, but cool and practical as well! These cases are meticulously finished and made of durable leather look-alike material in crisp, solid colors.
The unbeatable practicality comes from the solid clip that locks the phone onto the case safely, the removable strap that keeps your hands free when not using the phone yet assures the phone is immediately handy at all times, the card slots for credit or hotel key cards, and the best part: you can take pictures and talk on the phone while the case is closed!
Just this case, your credit cards and you are ready for shopping and sight-seeing, theatre or movies.
The passport, credit-card, boarding pass and pen case in the same materials and styles is the perfect, cool accompaniment of the iPhone case. In fact, this will be your favourite globetrotting set from here on!

Now that nobody prints hard-copy photos any more, Hamburg-based Twinkind would like to create a Little 3D You instead. A realistic, little you. Or your pet, or Mom.
A visit to their pop-up studio for a quick scan and then, after some technological wizardry that involves 3D printing and other newly developed techniques, you will be the owner of a little photorealistic sculpture anywhere from 15 to 35 centimeters (6 to 14 inches) tall and made of polymer plaster powder.
What makes Twinkind's offering different from the other 3D printed sculptures currently available, is the speed of the initial scanning.
It used to take a long time (20 minutes in some cases) of standing (or sitting or whatever) very still to produce the detailed data needed for a realistic sculpture.
With Twinkind's process, the scanning will take only a split second. And therefore, they can alter the results and rescan till you are happy with the image, and they can scan pets and kids and other objects that are not going to sit still for long. Prices, apparently, start from 225€ for the tiniest figurines.
Twinkind's founders, Kristina Neurohr and Timo Schaedel, are experienced creatives. Neurohr is the co-owner of creative agency Lux von Morgen whereas Schaedel's has developed commercials for international clients including Audi, Fiat and Panasonic. - Tuija Seipell.
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
When did you actually do what your first impulse, or that nagging, persistent feeling is asking you to do?
It is easier to stay where you are, do what you know about, be safe, not push. Take the same route, order the same meal, hang out with the same people, do the same job.
But if you do not constantly test your boundaries, you will never find out what you are capable of.
If you always go over where the bar is the lowest, you will never know how high you can jump.
(AP Photo/Gregory Bull)
We say: Jump now!
NOW is the absolutely most perfect time to try those new things, to explore new cities, to taste new foods, to start a business, to write a book, to enter a marathon, to go skinny dipping, to start playing squash, to start a blog, to give that dinner party, to propose.
Now is the time to find out what you are here to do. How much can you do? What can you achieve?. How much fun can you have? How much can you give?
Now is the ideal time to experience your life. To LIVE your life. We all know this is not a rehearsal, yet we live as if it were.
And we are not talking about pushing so that you'd be approved by others. Or achieve their goals or what they think you should be achieving. Or pushing beyond your healthy or safe limits.
But we are talking about using all of your talents, skills and abilities now. Because now is all any one of us has. And because that is why we are on this earth. To live our own lives fully.
(Pic/Thomas Hawk)
And when we do, we will find millions of new reasons to be grateful. We will find hundreds of ways to give more. We will find out how wonderful life is.
Pursue what you love. Passion is an incredible motivator. It fuels focus, resilience, and perseverance. - TCH Team
We will never tire of the positive effects of nature. Its calming, soothing and inspiring influence will never go out of style.
The more we rush, the more time we spend indoors staring at our screens and devices, the more urban our lifestyles become, the more we crave and need time away from it all.
It has been amazing to follow the newest solutions to the old dilemmas: How to bring more green space to cities; how to reclaim underused urban land for recreational and other "green" uses; how to provide more and more people the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of spending time in nature.
Lately, we have seen fantastic examples of how designers and architects, urban planners and citizens' organizations have accomplished both large and small-scale projects, from bringing a bit of greenery, and open space to otherwise bleak surroundings, to large-scale neighborhood-changing undertakings.
The most prominent of these large-scale projects in the past few years has probably been New York's Highline, the "park in the sky" that reclaimed a deemed-to-be-demolished industrial transportation structure for recreational and other uses.
It has been a massive project in all aspects of the word, and it has also become a poster-project whose publicity is helping other projects get off the ground. We hope it will continue to give citizens' organizations, city officials, designers and architects encouragement and inspiration as they tackle smaller projects, or even ones bigger than Highline.
We expect much more reclaiming of industrial and transportation lands, more green roofs, more natural features replacing concrete and asphalt, more walking and hiking paths, more waterways for recreational use, more spectacular viewing areas, more urban sanctuaries, more trees.
Getting back to nature is not a new phenomenon. For hundreds of years, wealthy city dwellers have travelled to summer residences and summer resorts, and withdrawn to their cottages and lakeside retreats. They've enjoyed fresh air in their gardens and hunting estates.
Of course, the need for recreational options has escalated since the industrial revolution. People, even ordinary citizens, now needed a place to catch their breath. They lived in more and more urban environments and also had the previously unknown luxury of a few days off per month.
Children went to summer camps, adults went hiking and camping, entire families went on long drives in recreational vehicles. Tourism boomed and being in nature became the vogue thing to do. And it has remained so ever since.
As we seek balance in our hectic lives today, we see solutions outdoors. "Green space" in the widest sense of the word in cities and surrounding areas is beneficial from recreational, ecological, economical, social and health purposes, but mostly we love it because it is just plain beautiful.
We love gardens and parks, ponds and water features, playgrounds and sports fields, open plazas, avenues and boulevards. We want more of it because even the smallest green feature lifts our spirits, while the wide open spaces can change our lives. - Tuija Seipell
This is a promo video for Tempest Freerunning Academy in California. It is dedicated to the growth and spread of freerunning and parkour and has a special Super Mario Bros area so gym-goers can feel like they are in the game.
The song's called "Lights" by Ellie Goulding, it's the Bassnectar remix.
You'd think that imaginative packaging would be the norm in the beer category but we all know it's not. For some reason, it seems that breweries, beer marketers and their design agencies run completely out of creativity and courage when it comes to store-level, street-level packaging. Boring. Boring. Boring.
Putting a black boombox graphic on a white beer box may not be such a creative stretch for the Australian beer brand Lovell's Lager - or their agency Landor associates, Sydney, but it sure stands out in a delightful way! We love the retro wink to bygone times when having your music with you meant lugging a massive boombox. There's something decidedly macho, too, about carrying this thing. And it got us talking - and we haven't even tasted the beer yet! - Bill Tikos
Some people dream of success, others make it happen. Of course, you can dream as much as you like but waiting for things to happen gets you nowhere. Get active and start making things happen.
Whatever journey your path takes you on, the most important thing is to have passion in what you do.
How many of you went to college, got your degree, and ended up doing something totally unrelated to your major? Studying it did not make you passionate about it. It wasn't your path.
Education or even talent aren't worth much without passion. So do the stuff that you love and you've always wanted to do because without it, you'll feel stuck and unfulfilled. If you work in a bank but your dream is to be a naturopath, then make those changes now. Make this year the turning point in your life. When you do what you love you will be rewarded — it will just flow naturally.
Look at those around you who just make things happen. They have a clear goal in mind and they know where they want to go. They don't always have a plan but they have the passion and the tenacity to make it work, and they achieve their goals as the end result.
Trust us when we tell you this. If something important to you, you WILL find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse. It's that simple. Find your way. Make it work, whatever it takes. Are you 10 kilos heavier than you should be? It is simple: Commit, go to that gym every day, no excuses, and train until you lose those 10 kilos. When you accomplish this, you'll have the confidence to do more. Set a goal and make it happen.
Want to stop smoking? Stop making excuses, take control of your circumstances before they take control of you.
Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life, it's about what you inspire others to do and when you do accomplish something as simple as quitting smoking or losing weight, you'll inspire others to do the same. Anyone can change the world, and everybody should try. And it all starts with your own life.
Stop waiting for the perfect time to do what you want to do. Do it now.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so get used to being uncomfortable. It won't kill you. Do you need a sign? Here it is: - Bill Tikos
We're looking to hire super talented CGI artists, if that's you, get in contact.
Why do you read TCH? Does it inspire you to create, start a business, design a product, improve an idea? Does it make you want to innovate or imitate? Does it inspire you travel, or live in another city or country?
Do you need someone else to tell you your product/idea/execution/brand is great? We say don't worry what anyone else thinks, trust your own judgment. When others doubt, be confident in your vision. Stop waiting for the perfect time to do what you want to do. Just go for it and do it now.
Don't' follow fashion trends. The most fashionable thing you can be is to be you. Travel the world, live in other cities, learn cultures. Learn because it keeps your mind young. You don't need a university degree to be successful, although it may be helpful, but don't do it because your parents – or you? – have status anxiety. Stop whining about it.
But what you do need is vision, tenacity and confidence in what you do. Do what you love now. Switch topics or schools now. Don't wait till the last year of your education to realize that this isn't your path. Listen to your heart, it knows what makes you happy.
If your job sucks, stop blaming others, your boss, your parents, the unverse. Just quit and take responsibility for your own choices. It's not about the sucky job. It is about you being in the wrong place. There's never a better time than now.
Start doing what your mind has been ticking away for you to do for years. Take risks. Be in a relationship that flows effortlessly. Trust your gut feeling. Intuition is strong and powerful.
Stop smoking, invest in your body, get off your ass and exercise. If you're an entrepreneur , don't spend all night on your projects. Practice balance and time management and have a life. Your family and kids are wondering why you aren't home for dinner, again. What a waste of your time.
Have the tenacity and focus to execute an idea no matter how daunting it may seem at first. Have the confidence in what you're doing even when others doubt. Create opportunities for yourself. It is time for you to step up.
Here at TCH, we practice what we preach and we learn something every day. Everything we feature here on TCH, is based on intuition. We don't care if you or anyone else don't like it or agree with what we feature. If we did that, we'd go insane and TCH would be fake and boring and bland.
The coolest thing you can do is doing it. - Bill Tikos


text: What can I take on the flight for free? Bookings with a codeshare partner: When booking via Etihad Airways and at least one of the flights are operated by a codeshare partner, the baggage allowance of the airline that operates the longest flight either outbound or inbound will apply. For all Etihad flights except those traveling to and from the US, Canada and Brazil. This section tells you what you can take onboard free of charge, and how much it costs to take more. See our latest promotion on an excess baggage discount. For flights originating or arriving in Australia, the same baggage allowances apply but the Australian Government has implemented security restrictions which limit the quantity of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGS) that passengers may take on-board the aircraft.

Cutting Through Late Payment Excuses - 10 Tops Tips
Late payments are the bane of companies worldwide, this is even more accurate if you're an SME trying to keep the cash flowing. If your company suffering from late payments, these tips will help you to make sure you get paid on time.
Scanned and Delivered
One of the most critical areas for many Credit Professionals is the management of Proofs of Delivery (PODs). This article considers the benefits and issues of scanning and storing PODs electronically and looks at alternatives to traditional multi-part stationery and clunky dot matrix printers for producing POD documents. The article also examines the pros and cons of handing over the responsibility of POD scanning to third party couriers and hauliers. Third parties managing your PODs frees up your time, but do they have the necessary technologies and procedures in place to meet your requirements?
Electronic Invoice Authorization – Providing the foundation for an efficient accounts payable department
We live in an IT dominated world and yet many accounts payable departments still use manually-intensive processes to get a supplier invoice authorized and then paid. Paper-based invoice authorization is time-consuming, costly and prone to error and so to maximize efficiencies, account payable teams need to adopt automated processes.
Addressing Today's HR Challenges with Document Management
Who would be a human resources (HR) professional? With the economy still struggling, the challenges are greater than ever before. Redundancies, redeployment, and talent gaps are just some of the many challenges facing HR. In order to work smarter at a time when many are forced to do more with fewer resources, it is vital to implement intelligent technologies that automate a number of manual processes.
Healthcare Finance and the Role of Document Management Software
The healthcare industry, especially the NHS, is currently faced with tremendous change and uncertainty. Tough cost and efficiency targets mean that finance departments have to work harder, often with less resources. This article discusses the importance of automation technologies, such as electronic document management (EDM) in healthcare finance. Without the likes of EDM, finance teams will struggle to deliver departmental savings and process improvements whilst effectively supporting the overall goals of the organization.
Document Management in the Education Sector
This shouldn't mean that educational institutions should resort to a total spending freeze in an effort to balance the books. Some investments, such as document management and imaging solutions, can enable significant cost and efficiency savings whilst delivering a fast return on investment.
Document Management and the Downturn
The economic downturn is forcing organizations to be frugal with their spending and cut back on non-essential costs. However, keeping a tight hold of the purse strings when it comes to software implementations can sometimes be misplaced. Some business software solutions, such as document management, should not be viewed as a 'nice to have'' in times of economic uncertainty but as key to surviving the downturn.
Planning for Disaster and the Role of Document Management
UK businesses are still not sufficiently prepared for a disaster. Research indicates that companies' claims of having a comprehensive Business Continuity Management (BCM) plan in place may be more 'smoke and mirrors' than anything else!
Credit Control and the Rise of Document Management
The paperless office is more of a reality than it has ever been. Falling costs, improved technology and the rise of the Internet are some of the reasons why electronic document management (EDM) systems are being used by increasing numbers of businesses worldwide. From a credit control point of view, EDM systems can assist in managing credit and building good relationships with customers from generating clear and understandable invoices, and instantaneously delivering documents through to the electronic receipt of payments.

Survival of the fittest: Electronic Document Management and the NHS Efficiency Challenge
The pressures currently facing the NHS are well documented. In 2013 they have increased again, as radical reforms take effect and the reality of the Nicholson Challenge hits home. The following white paper examines the fine line Trusts must tread, as they up their efforts to cut costs in the face of a severe funding gap while striving to maintain (and raise) standards of patient care.
Document Management Solutions for your HR & Payroll Department
Against a backdrop of economic challenges, increasing pressure is being placed on the human resources (HR) department. Organisations are reliant on their HR department to carefully manage the complete employee lifecycle, from recruit to retire, while trying to keep costs to a minimum and meeting both organisational and regulatory requirements.

Adding value to accounting and ERP systems with electronic document management
Reports that the UK is back in recession, not helped by the crisis in the Eurozone, appear to have sealed the fate of company IT budgets for the time being. Many organisations are now willingly implementing their own austerity drives, prepared to 'make do and mend' until business conditions recover significantly. This presents them with a dilemma however. If they have no leverage to invest, how will companies deliver the efficiency and productivity gains they have committed to, and on which their immediate prospects depend?
Document Management in the Finance Function 'Choosing a document management system'
The document management industry is a fragmented sector comprising a range of software and hardware vendors. Typically, each of them contributes in a small way to the overall document management process through specific capability such as a document scanner, a forms designer, or fax gateway. As a result, the definition of document management is often crafted in more limited terms than the process deserves.
Getting Tough On (Internal) Crime
Clamping down on employee fraud through intelligent, transparent finance document management. However strong an organisation's culture, internal fraud is a fact of life for many businesses and public sector institutions - particularly during times of economic hardship. An unhappy coincidence of opportunity and mounting personal desperation can mean that even the most morally-minded employees give in to temptation.
How automating the 'Procure-to-Pay' process delivers business advantage
Private sector and public sector organisations are similarly driven to save costs and maximise service delivery. So improving an organisation's efficiency is a high priority. Experience shows that automating the 'procure-to-pay' process is one of the easiest and most effective ways of driving significant benefits for an organisation, irrespective of whether it is a large public entity or a small trading company.
Purchase Invoice Automation 'Reduce Your Costs with Purchase Invoice Automation (PIA)'
Purchase invoice management is a good example of a process that is mired in inefficiency. Even modest purchase invoice transaction volumes pose a serious processing burden. The need to manually sort invoices by department or company, photocopy and physically match them with purchase orders and GRNs or work out where to code them to, or whom to pass them to for checking are all onerous tasks.
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme: A Practical Guide
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (formerly known as the Carbon Reduction Commitment) is a mandatory carbon emissions trading scheme in the UK. It applies to any organisation consuming more than 6,000MWh per year of electricity - equivalent to an annual electricity bill of about £500,000 - and is designed to highlight and drive down energy use by big business.

Contemplative care encompasses the breadth of our innate caregiving capacity with the depth of meditative wisdom and universal compassion. Contemplative care is more a way of care than a how or what. It brings the gifts of contemplative practice to the knowledge, skills and best practices of caregiving.

Treatise on Holy War
The first Persian printing press in Iran was established in 1816 in Tabriz, and the first book published by the press was Jihādīyyah (Treatise on holy war), written by Abu al-Qasim ibn 'Isá Qa'im'maqam Farahani (circa 1779–1835), the prime minister of Persia at that time. During the reign of King Fath Ali Shah (1772–1834, reigned 1797–1834), while the Qajar government was absorbed with managing domestic turmoil, rival European colonial powers sought to establish themselves in the region. The British competed for influence in the south ...

The Iron Butterfly is Lorin Symington 's adaptation of the Papillon cooker developed by Dipl. Ing. J. Dessel in collaboration with Prof. Bernd Hafner and the Solarinstitut Jülich in Germany.
The goal was to build a similarly convenient and powerful cooker that can be built with materials available anywhere in the world. Lorin's solar cookers are primarily mirror arrays on steel frames. Mirror and steel profiles are available in nearly all countries and are familiar working materials for many people.
The Butterfly performs very well, boiling 4L of water in 35 minutes. The sturdy construction means that it is stable in even windy conditions.
Lorin built the Butterfly at the request of the Malian Minister of Women's Promotion, Children, and Family Sina Damba Maiga. The butterfly was later presented to the President of Mali, Amadou Toumani Touré during the SAHABA conference in Bamako in 2008.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Harman Kardon BT by David Brown Great sound, clear calls and cutting-edge design, without the wires Go hands-free and wireless with your music and phone calls with Harman Kardon's BT headphones. Bluetooth connectivity means you can conduct clear conversations without touching your phone. Clever controls on the earcup let you answer calls, hang up, and adjust the volume as you talk, with no dangling cables to get in your way. You can also enjoy music wirelessly from Bluetooth smarthphones, tablets and audio players. The BT's AAC and aptX® encoding provides the finest streaming sound quality available when using compatible devices. Once your music reaches the headphones, you can be sure it will sound detailed and bold. Harman Kardon's design includes bass tubes that function like tuned bass ports, providing extra low-frequency "oomph" to complement the BT's high-frequency clarity. The Harman Kardon BT headphones come with an optional miniplug cable for passive listening, even when your battery is drained. Listen even without a charged battery Bluetooth headphones rely on battery power for wireless streaming. And the BT is no exception, with a USB cable included to enable easy charging from any computer for up to 12 hours of listening. But while some Bluetooth headphones leave you high and dry if the battery is drained, the BT comes with an optional cable for passive listening. So even if you can't charge the battery, you can still plug in and keep the music going. This makes the BT ideal for travel, especially those long plane trips where you don't want to be stuck with headphones you can't use. Going the extra mile for comfort These headphones are built for comfort and looks. The unique rectangular earcups will turn heads, while the soft memory foam pads provide comfort that lasts. And we were particularly impressed to see the inclusion of an additional headband. The BT comes with a small headband installed. But if it doesn't provide the comfort and security you need, you can swap it out with the included larger headband. With this level of attention to fit and comfort, the BT should look and feel at home on anyone. From our Harman Kardon CL and BT headphones review: The earcup track and volume controls are extremely easy to use without fumbling around trying to figure out which button is which. I must admit, there is something magical about moving about wearing headphones with no cable. If Bluetooth is a priority, the BT is a great choice, particularly if you own an aptX-compatible device. — David Brown, Crutchfield A/V Writer See more info on this item Highlights:Bluetooth wireless connectivity for streaming calls and music from compatible smartphonesAAC and aptX encoding provide high-quality music streaming from compatible devicesearcup controls and built-in microphone for music playback and phone callspassive listening with supplied cable for use when battery is drainedclosed-back design helps block out external noiseincludes 2 interchangeable headbands (small and large) for comfortable, secure fitbass tube on each earcup provides enhanced bass responseremovable memory foam earpadsfold-flat design for easy storageincludes 57" cable for wired usebattery life: up to 12 hoursincludes USB charging cableleather carrying casefrequency response: 16-20,000 Hzwarranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Hands-on research from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: The Harman Kardon BT over-ear Bluetooth headphones let you enjoy music from your smartphone or other Bluetooth devices wirelessly. The BTs are made of high-quality materials to provide an exceptional acoustic performance. The headphones have 40mm drivers and a unique baffle design for clear highs and extended bass response. The BTs have interchangeable parts that let you custom fit the headphones to your head. The ear cups swivel to lay flat for easy storage in the supplied leather case. Bluetooth Technology: The H/K BT wireless headphones supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with A2DP (v1.2), AVRCP (v1.0), HSP (v1.2) and HFP (v1.5) protocols. In addition they employ AAC and aptX coding to give you the best wireless audio performance available. The Bluetooth operating range is approximately 26 feet. Rechargeable Battery: The headphones are powered by a 3.7-volt rechargeable battery. The battery charges in approximately 2 hours via USB, using the supplied USB charging cable. (Charging from a laptop computer may take longer.) Typical battery life is approximately 12 hours. Cable: When the battery becomes exhausted, you can still enjoy music playback from your device via the supplied bypass cable. The heavy duty cable plugs into the left ear cup via a 2.5mm sub-miniplug, and is terminated with a durable straight 3.5mm plug. Built-in Remote/Microphone: The BT headphones have a built-in microphone on the front of the left ear cup for carrying on phone conversations. Also, there is a 3-button control panel on the back of the left ear cup. The controls allow you to raise and lower the volume with the top and bottom buttons, while the center button can control your phone calls or music. The remote control is "Made for iPod, iPhone, and iPad", which means that it is certified to meet Apple performance standards. During music playback and phone calls, the control function is determined by the number of center button presses: One Press: Pause/Play; Answer/Hang Up Two Presses: Skip to next track Three Presses: Skip to previous track Press and Hold: "Voice Over" feature (such as the iPhone's Siri), if available Design: The headphones have a closed back design and slow-retention premium foam ear pads to keep outside noise out and keep your music and phone conversations from leaking out. The ear cups swivel in two directions to maintain the acoustic seal around your ear. Interchangeable Bows: The H/K BT headphones come assembled on a "small" metal headband bow. If you need or desire a larger fit, you can remove the ear cups and padded from the original bow and attach them onto the supplied "large" metal bow.

Great & continuous sound for a bluetooth headphone. Confortable and clear sound, with low disturb exterior sounds. Pros: Light, comfortable, great quality materials, great sound, beautiful, fit excellent Cons: Audio cable too short Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 3 out of 5 Did not like fit Written By DaveM, Orlando, FL on Monday, March 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good Sound, well built but not comfortable for me. I have tried several bluetooth headphones over the last few months. Though the Bose sound was OK but they were comfortable. The Sony 10RBT were comfortable and liked controls but had too much for me. The Monster Pro Logic were the best sounding but very uncomfortable. The HKs were well built had good sound, but the cushions did not fit over my ears like the Sony or Bose so was uncomfortable and I returned them. Pros: Sounded good Cons: Did not like fit Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 3 out of 5 Harman Kardon BT Written By Todd, Georgia on Monday, February 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a great sounding wireless head set. After trying two different ones I guess I just cant get what Im looking for from wireless. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 5 out of 5 Move over Beats, there's a new kid that's kicking you to the curb! Written By Anonymous, Rocky Mount, NC on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 The first song I played was "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Maroon 5 and I was hooked! Then I played "Won't Go Home Without You". The snap of the drum to the empty bottle hit, rang crisp and clear. The mids were well-defined and the highs rode on air all the way through. Bass is hard and thumps, but not to where it crashes into anything. Vocals were situated perfectly so as not to be stepped on by the busy sounds around it. Beats by Dre over-emphasizes the bass, which if you like rap, is fine, but do little to give a pure and overall balance to the mix. But these cans do a fantastic job at giving you the nuances of the music for a perfect concert experience. I now have three sets: two CL and one BT--that's what I think of them. The BTs sound great wired or unwired. I will not be without my Har/Kars! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 5 out of 5 Great value Written By MCWay, Williston Vermont on Saturday, January 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the price I paid you will not find a better sounding or better built headphone. They are comfortable and come with an additional larger headband. The only thing I don't like is the lack of a wall charger. You have to plug it into a USB port on your device. Pros: Price, sound, comfort, sleek styling. Cons: Lack of wall charger 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Great for wireless ability and good sound. Excellent for my tablet and cell phone. Quality built. Pros: Sturdy quality build. Cons: Not noise cancellation. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 5 out of 5 Nice Range Written By Eric, Houston, TX on Monday, November 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have used everything under the sun. For over the ear, I have used Sony, Sennheiser, and Logitech. For Bluetooth options I have used Motorola, Blue Ant, Bose, Jaybirds, and Jawbone. For a one ear solution, I highly recommend the Bose Series 2. But when you want a fuller audio experience at the computer, listening to music at home, watching TV while the family is sleeping, or on the go I highly recommend these. The Bluetooth option is just a bonus. I was about to get the Bose or Sennheiser, but when these went on sale, I made the jump and I am glad that I did. Pros: Full music range, especially when you tweak the EQ to get it right where you want it. Option of plug in or Bluetooth. Nice looking and comfortable. Competitively priced, especially when on sale. The carrying case is good for protecting your investment. Cons: Only charge by USB. Would be better if it came with a charging cradle or a wall charge option included. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 3 questions already asked Had anyone found out a good replacement for the USB charger cord? [ Richard Oct 23, 2014 ] 2 answers I have not had to replace it. It's proprietary but the cable itself is simple. You cam make your own. Do a Google search for "harman kardon bt charging cable techneiq" [ Khurt Oct 23, 2014 ] No but I have not really looked for one. Looking at the cord I figure they made it so you would have to get on from them. With a schematic of the cord you could probably make one but I have not had the need to look for that either. Not sure a 3rd party would make a specialty item like that as the demand would be low. [ Ralph Oct 23, 2014 ] Can you replace the battery?0 [ Mitch Jan 20, 2014 ] 2 answers I'm sure replacements will be available, but you may need to take it to a certified service center. You can contact their parts department to and see if replacement batteries and ear pads are available directly to consumers. [ Krissy Staff Jan 21, 2014 ] The headphones are powered by a 3.7-volt rechargeable battery. The battery charges in approximately 2 hours via USB, using the supplied USB charging cable.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the JL Audio Stealthbox® by Dominic Devito Vehicle-specific enclosures with subs? Say what? Instead of the usual sub in a box, the manufacturer creates a molded enclosure that fits perfectly into a convenient spot in your specific vehicle, housing a high-quality sub. Some enclosures even include a built-in amp, for the ultimate in stealth bass. The advantages? You don't lose much space (if any), your sub is perfectly matched to its enclosure, and your enclosure has a factory look that won't tell potential thieves you have an awesome sound system. Doesn't get better than that. The JL Audio Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer delivers incredible bass in a package that takes up minimal space and blends in with your vehicle's interior. JL Audio designs Stealthboxes to fit in specific vehicles, then loads them with appropriate subwoofers for optimal performance. Pair the system with an appropriate amp and wiring for stellar concealed bass. Perfect sound to go with the perfect fit JL Audio puts months of research and design into each Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer to ensure not only that it fits, but that it sounds better than any other custom enclosed system. First, JL Audio determines the ideal shape and mounting location for each enclosure, so that it looks like an original part of the vehicle it's designed for. Next, they mount each high-performance subwoofer so it delivers amazing firepower from within its unique enclosure, without sacrificing clarity or musical depth. The fiberglass enclosure offers superior rigidity while allowing more interior volume, so the sub can turn out louder, deeper bass. JL Audio craftsmen then laminate, grind, join, and finish each Stealthbox® by hand. The end result: full-bodied, distortion-free bass from an impressively stealthy enclosure. Enjoy enhanced, custom-fit sound This Stealthbox® enclosure fits 2001-07 Ford Escape and 2001-06 Mazda Tribute models, plus the 2005-07 Mercury Mariner. It installs against the driver side wheel well in the cargo area. This Stealthbox® includes one 10" 4-ohm W1v2 subwoofer from JL Audio. A steel-mesh grille is included to protect the sub. Please check with us before purchasing by using the vehicle selector, or calling an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to verify fit information. JL Audio has rated the difficulty of this Stealthbox® installation as moderate. You should be able to install this enclosure if you have experience with car audio but some vehicles may require modifications. Important Note: The Stealthbox® will not fit in Hybrid models.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: JL Audio's Stealthbox subwoofer systems are designed to hide away in a specific vehicle. Please consult "Outfit My Car" to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. Construction: Stealthboxes are hand-crafted from fiberglass and/or Advanced Molded Composite (AMC) materials. Fiberglass delivers a level of enclosure rigidity and dimensional stability not possible with other enclosure materials, allowing wall thickness to be reduced compared to a typical wood enclosure. This gives you more interior box volume for a given external volume. Fiberglass and AMC materials are very strong and can be molded into very complex shapes; giving JL Audio the ability to design your Stealthbox to fit perfectly into tight spots and minimize intrusion into your vehicle's useful space. Each Stealthbox is laminated, ground, joined, and finished by hand in the USA. Proprietary techniques and materials developed by JL Audio through years of fiberglass manufacturing experience ensure consistent quality and performance. Woofer: A 10" JL Audio W1v2 subwoofer is loaded in this enclosure and features an injection-molded, metallic-finish polypropylene cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround for added durability, woofer excursion, and bass response. Surround Stress Relief: By creating a radius feature on the edge of the cone, stress is relieved from the surround material at maximum forward excursion, resulting in longer life and more consistent surround behavior. Interlocking Cone & Dust Cap: The W1v2's utilize a dust cap that is not just glued, but also interlocks with features molded into the cone body for a tight snap-fit. This creates a more rigid cone assembly and a more reliable dust cap attachment. Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W1v2 motors remain linear in motor force over a very long range of excursion, and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is vastly reduced distortion, faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass. Floating Cone Attachment Method (FCAM): JL Audio's patented FCAM technology is an innovative method of bonding the surround/cone assembly to the voice coil/spider assembly. This assembly technique ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment. Vented Reinforcement Collar: The Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC) is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to reliability. Stress Relief: By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and spider, the VRC greatly reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material weakness. It does this by greatly increasing adhesive contact area and providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes Air Flow: The VRC also features slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil windings. This reduces thermal compression effects and enhances reliability Insert Molded Suspension/Coil/Terminal Sub-Assembly: The W1v2 features a unique spider, coil and terminal subassembly which is assembled prior to installation in the speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. This type of assembly ensures precise lead wire length, lead wire entry and exit angles; and coil to spider perpendicularity. Elevated Frame Cooling System: The elevated frame design of the W1v2 delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.

First, I must say that I'm thrilled that Crutchfield still carries audio equipment specifically designed for my old, but still meticulous, 2001 Ford Escape. While searching for a new subwoofer for my Escape, I found that the JL Stealthbox was tailor made for my vehicle, is very inconspicuous, and occupies no additional space in my cargo area. My vehicle came with the basic stereo system from the factory and no subwoofer. I've slowly improved and upgraded my sound system over the years including my most recent JVC KW-HDR81BT head unit, and previously purchased Infinity Kappa 682.7cf 6x8 speakers front and back. The Infinity's are 8 years old and still going strong. My new JL subwoofer is powered by a new JL JX500/1D 500W amplifier - also awesome. While my Infinity's provide nice sound in general, there was still something missing. The subwoofer now fills that gap and my audio experience has been raised to a whole new level. I've had my Escape for 14 years and don't quite know how I went so long without this essential component. Pros: Tailor made for older Escapes; inconspicuous; occupies no additional cargo space; sound is amazing with plenty of punch Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Just What My System was Missing Written By Jason, Windsor Mill, MD on Saturday, October 08, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Before today my system was pretty awesome in terms of sound quality, but it lacked low-end punch. Well, I won't confusing any seismograhic equipment, but I got precisely the lower frequencies my car wasn't capable of before. I am powering it with a JL Slash 250/1v2 and have a Pioneer GM-D9500F pushing a set of Alpine R-series components and a pair of Pioneer Stage Three 6"x8" in my rear doors with a ton of dynamat applied...Would not change a thing!!! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Arizona mineral resource: No. 29 November, 2001
|1 of 23
This page
ARIZONA No. 29 November, 2001 Mineral Resource BLM's Final Rule On October 25 the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued new mining regulations that removed the controversial provision giving the Interior secretary authority to prohibit new mine sites. The final rule will take effect on December 31. The `3809' surface mining regulations, which apply to hard-rock mining on public lands, retain the strict bonding requirements that the Clinton administration added in the last days of office. Gone, however, is the controversial provision that would have allowed the Interior Secretary to veto new mines that would cause "substantial irreparable harm." The mining industry particularly objected to that provision because it was subjective and gave the BLM unlimited veto power over new and revised mining operations. The current mining rule, which became effective January 20, 2001, will continue to provide the regulatory framework governing mining, as amended by the recent ruling. The final 3809 rule can be obtained from any of the BLM's State Offices or accessed from the Bureau's web site, www.blm.gov/nhp/news/regulatory/index.htm. Phelps Dodge Announces Cutbacks On October 23 Phelps Dodge Corporation announced the layoff of approximately 1,500 employees, including almost 800 Arizona workers. Phelps Dodge's goal is to curtail copper production by 243,000 tons annually. "For several months, we have been operating in an increasingly difficult economic environment," said Phelps Dodge Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer J. Steven Whisler. "We've seen the COMEX price of copper fall from 80 cents per pound in March to 65 cents per pound in early September." " We also have experienced increasing softness in the markets Phelps Dodge Industries serves. We now are facing one of the more extraordinary and uncertain economic climates in the past 30 years. Phelps Dodge consistently has taken aggressive action to shape its future, and we are determined to continue to chart a successful course independent of variables we do not control." The affected mines in Arizona are Miami, where the mine and refinery will be temporarily closed, and Sierrita and Bagdad, which will operate at one-half capacity. Phelps Dodge purchased all three of the Arizona properties from Cyprus Amax Minerals in 1999. Morenci, Phelps Dodge's flagship operation in Greenlee County, will not be affected.
