You could call it the Ultimate Geek Gift for an iPhone-toting friend — or even for yourself. It’s a set of 16 coasters made to look like iPhone application icons.
Made by Brazilian firm Meninos, the coasters are constructed from sturdy, medium-density fiber plywood and are coated in vinyl. They’re are roughly 3 1/2 inches square, washable, and feature non-skid, rubber bottoms.
Many of the most popular iPhone icons are included:
- Maps and Compass
- Camera and Photo Albums
- YouTube and iPod
The iPhone coasters sell for $59.99 plus shipping. Arrange them like your phone, or pin them on the wall. Either way, they’ll be a functional conversation piece for your home, or the home of a friend.

How many of you have procrastinated in downloading your pictures from your digital camera because you just don’t want to take the time to process the pictures, re-size for uploads, add filters, touch them up, or even organize them into folders? Well I know from experience that if you are in the Real Estate, pictures sells houses, and the more pictures you have the better the chance you have of someone taking a look at your clients property.
Well have I got a solution for you. Batchphoto is a powerful photo manipulation program that makes it easy to convert, re-size, watermark, annotate, touch-up, apply affects and rename hundreds of photos in a single operation. Instead of enhancing and adjusting pictures individually, Batchphoto lets you select a group of images, define a series of edits, and apply them in a single operation.
It is AMAZING! An absolute must for anyone who is constantly taking hours upon hours going through other inferior software products that make you re-size photos one-by-one. Before Batchphoto, it would literally take me hours to process photos for my listings. I would re-size all the photos that I would plan on using for the listings and put them in one folder, I would do the same for my Virtual Tours, and yet another for higher resolution use. It would take FOREVER! Now with Batchphoto I am done in minutes and I have so many more options that I love for use in my online social networking. One great feature that I love is the use of watermarks. I love taking photos of these beautiful North Georgia Mountains and sharing them online. Well, I noticed that many of my competitors were using my very own photos on their websites. Now that I have Batchphoto, I can put a watermark on the photos before I post them and it detours anyone from using my photos. This is just one of many features that I have discovered using Batchphoto.
So, you no longer have to fret and pile all of those images on your memory card putting off the dreaded job of processing those pictures. Now with the use of Batchphoto, you can be done in no time and back out doing what you love to do….taking pictures! Give it a try, you will be glad you did I promise.

Down economies reduce consumer spending, creating a bind for retailers. As excess inventory collects dust, companies have little choice but to drop prices in hopes of selling more product.
For the bargain shopper with extra cash right now, there are some terrific deals to be had out there. This 4-minute piece from NBC’s The Today Show highlights a few of them.
- Wines over $25 per bottle reduced up to 50%
- High-quality diamonds reduced up to 30%
- Summer rental homes reduced up to 50%
Furniture is another discounted item.
Now, these aren’t everyday-type purchases, but when the economy turns around for good, the bargain-priced items highlighted in the video are expected to return to their former price levels.
If you have the means, therefore, consider taking advantage while costs are down.

Sure, you’ve got a fire extinguisher at home, but if you ever had a fire, would you know what to do with it?
Like any tool, reading the directions can only get you so far. If you’ve never “pulled the pin” and discharged a fire extinguisher before, fighting an actual fire can be a frightening intiation.
For non-firefighters, there’s an alternative. It’s an aerosol spray from the First Alert company called the Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray and it’s billed as an intuitive fire safety product.
According to a First Alert product fact sheet, aside from its ease-of-use, the Tundra product boasts several advantages over traditional fire extinguishers:
- Tundra sprays for 32 seconds — double a traditional fire extinguisher
- Tundra spray covers 3 times more surface area than a traditional extinguisher
- Tundra cleans up with a damp sponge
The Tundra Fire Extinguishing Spray is recommended for cooking fires, electrical fires and household fires involving wood, paper and fabrics. You can buy it at most hardware stores or for cheap
at Amazon.com.
If you have a Second Home or Cabin in the North Georgia Mountains, this would be a great product to pick up and keep handy, especially if you have your Mountain Home in a Rental Program. If you have any questions related to this post or about Real Estate in general, please give me a call at 706.994.8686, or you can shoot me an email at Chad@EmailMyRealtor.com.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and make it a GREAT day!

After attending the International Home and Housewares show, The Today Show filmed a 5-minute segment called “Housewares You Won’t Be Able To Live Without”.
The title is somewhat over-the-top but don’t let that turn you off. The gadgets reviewed are both practical and inexpensive. They include:
- Make-no-mess vegetable peeler
for the kitchen
- Efficient kebob tool
for the grill
- Grow-In-Your-Kitchen garden
that grows like an outdoor one
Of over 2,000 products at the show, NBC selected seven. Watch the video to see them in action.
Gadgets don’t improve a home’s value but they can make life easier sometimes. And for homeowners, easier is often better.
Mother’s Day is May 10th and Father’s Day is June 21st. I can’t believe it is already middle of April! Believe you me….it will be here before you know it, don’t wait until the last minute like me.
If I can be of any assistance to you with your North Georgia Mountain Real Estate needs, please let me know. I can assist you with Homes For Sale in Blairsville, GA. and Cabins For Sale in Blue Ridge, GA. Heck fire, I can even help with Homes for Sale in Ellijay Georgia. I would be grateful for the opportunity to be your Realtor. My name is Chad Lariscy, and you can reach me at 706.633.8186, or email me at Chad@EmailMyRealtor.com.
Make it a GREAT day!

Lead and other toxic metals are in the products we use everyday and the surfaces with which we come into contact. Lightbulbs, for example, or painted window sills.
Unfortunately, washing your hands with soap and water — even with the use of a disinfectant — doesn’t cleanse you of dangerous lead dust.
Instead, a heavy-duty wipe like Hygenall is required.
Hygenall is a cleansing wipe that removes metal oxides from the skin’s surface, including lead. The wipe creates a specially-formulated lather that traps heavy metals and pulls them away from the skin.
The Hygenall website recommends its lead-remover for a wide group of people including:
- Pregnant mothers
- Children in daycare
- Sportsmen, policemen and others weapon-handlers
- Construction workers
In addition, the site links to numerous lead poisoning studies including one that references “take-home” lead — the scenario in which a working parent in one of 100 industries is exposed to lead at work and introduces lead dust into the home.
Hygenall doesn’t cure lead poisoning, but it may go a long way toward preventing it — including contaminating a person’s home.
Buy Hygenall in a 3-pack for cheap at Amazon.com.

If you’re not rotating your mattress every 3 months, you may be shortening its lifespan. Constant nightly pressure can “wear out” the areas on which you sleep, creating in-bed divots and reducing your sleeping comfort.
The ExpertVillage.com video above — “How To Flip a Mattress” — is pretty self-explanatory. But there’s a few other steps you can take to protect your bed and your health.
First, consider the use of a mattress cover. A mattress cover protects against spills and stains and can stop liquids from dripping inside of the mattress itself. Mattress covers are marked down 43% at Amazon.com right now and can be purchased for cheap at Bed Bath and Beyond, too.
Second, each time you change your sheets, remember to vacuum the mattress surface. A thorough cleaning will reduce the number of allergens and mites living on your bed, promoting better health hygiene.
And lastly, remember to occasionally apply an upholstery-grade cleaner to your mattress for stubborn stains or soilage. Using this particular type of cleaner is important because the product is meant to be near human skin. This is different from, say, carpet cleaner.
A good mattress can be expensive. Extending its usable life is not.
If you are looking to Buy one of our Homes or Cabins For Sale In Blue Ridge Georgia, I would appreciate the opportunity to offer you additional information or any Real Estate Advice that you might need. And should you end up with that New North Georgia Mountain Home or Cabin, and need a good mattress, I know just the person to go and see. I would be more than happy to set up an appointment with my Mom, Laverne Lariscy. She is one of the Top Sales Associates at Town & Country Furniture in Blue Ridge, GA. I hope to hear from you soon.
Make it a GREAT day!
