U.S. May Dallas Fed Business Outlook Report (Text)
The following is the text of the Texas manufacturing activity from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas will release the Texas Service Sector Outlook Survey (TSSOS) on June 1 at 9:30 a.m. CDT. TSSOS is analogous to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey (TMOS) but covers the private service-producing sector of the Texas economy. The TSSOS data go back to January 2007 and include a breakout of respondents from the retail and wholesale sectors, called the Texas Retail Outlook Survey (TROS). TSSOS will come out monthly on the day following the TMOS release.
Texas factory activity increased in May, according to business executives responding to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey. The production index, a key measure of state manufacturing conditions, rose from 8 to 13 with 27 percent of respondents noting output increased from April.
Other measures of current manufacturing conditions also indicated growing activity, although the pace of new orders slowed. The capacity utilization index edged up from its April level, while the shipments index held steady at a reading of 8. The new orders index moved down from 4 to 1, with the share of manufacturers reporting increased order volumes falling from 30 percent to 22 percent. The growth rate of orders index turned negative after six months of positive readings. For all indicators, there was a significant rise in the percentage of firms noting no change from the prior month.
Perceptions of general business conditions were mixed in May. The general business activity index declined from 11 to -7, its first negative reading in eight months. However, more than three-fourths of respondents said activity was unchanged from April. The company outlook index fell from 10 to 3, with 16 percent of respondents saying their outlooks were improved from the prior month compared with 13 percent saying their outlooks had worsened.
Labor market indicators reflected more hiring and longer workweeks. The employment index came in at 12, with the share of manufacturers adding workers reaching its highest level this year. The hours worked index jumped up from -1 in April to 13 in May.
Prices climbed again this month, although at a reduced rate, and labor costs continued an upward trend. The raw materials price index retreated from 57 to 43, suggesting input prices rose but at a slower pace than in April. The finished goods price index fell from 24 to 9, its lowest level this year. About 60 percent of respondents anticipate further increases in raw materials prices over the next six months, while 32 percent expect higher finished goods prices. The wages and benefits index rose from 16 to 19, although the great majority of respondents noted no change in labor costs.
Expectations regarding future business conditions were less optimistic in May. The future general business activity index was 8, its lowest reading since September 2010, and the future company outlook index also fell to an 8-month low. Future indexes of manufacturing conditions also fell in May, but remained in solid positive territory.
The Dallas Fed conducts the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey monthly to obtain a timely assessment of the state's factory activity. Data were collected May 17-25, and 93 Texas manufacturers responded to the survey. Firms are asked whether output, employment, orders, prices and other indicators increased, decreased or remained unchanged over the previous month.
Survey responses are used to calculate an index for each indicator. Each index is calculated by subtracting the percentage of respondents reporting a decrease from the percentage reporting an increase. When the share of firms reporting an increase exceeds the share reporting a decrease, the index will be greater than zero, suggesting the indicator has increased over the prior month. If the share of firms reporting a decrease exceeds the share reporting an increase, the index will be below zero, suggesting the indicator has decreased over the prior month. An index will be zero when the number of firms reporting an increase is equal to the number of firms reporting a decrease.

i am having a dilemma myself,i took the pps out of the running because of mag prices and its so new. i much prefer the p99....the price and availability of mags is a big deal to me. they're expensive!
This is a discussion on Walther P99 compact or PPS? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Which of these is a better choice for CCW? Both of these gun feel good in my hands but I'm tempted to go with the ...
Which of these is a better choice for CCW? Both of these gun feel good in my hands but I'm tempted to go with the P99C as it been around longer and is proven. Plus I can recall some of the PPS gun having some feeding issues when they first came out,has this been corrected in the newer guns? I'm considering both in 9mm so if anyone has feedback on either of these guns and they they prefer one over the other please sound off.
Snub nose revolvers,the original concealed carry guns.
i am having a dilemma myself,i took the pps out of the running because of mag prices and its so new. i much prefer the p99....the price and availability of mags is a big deal to me. they're expensive!
I have a pps in 9mm and I love it. I currently have a little over 1200 rounds threw it and i only have had one FTE due to my wife limp wristing it. The greatest thing about the PPS is how thin it is. I carry IWB and its extreemly comfortable. It is also every bit as accurate as my full sized M&P's.
I cant say enough good things about my PPS, out the 5-6 that i can carry its my EDC and I dont see that changing any time soon.
The P99/99C are much larger, fatter pistols---very nice guns---but for concealment, the PPS IS THE WAY TO GO!! Flat, quite thin with a very "Glock-like" trigger, mine in 9mm has proven itself very reliable.
I have owned a P99 and currently own two PPS's and my vote goes to the PPS. I like the AS trigger on the P99 and the decocker but for flat out concealability and all day carry comfort my vote goes to the PPS. Mine have been utterly reliable and while I carry the 9mm daily, the .40 is just as smooth minus one round capacity. My 9mm PPS trigger has improved with use. I love that pistol.
I think it depends on how you're going to carry it. Obviously none of the guns you mentioned are pocket gun. So it's likely a choice between belt/holster carry, out-side-waistband, in which case the P99AS would work as well as any mid-sized pistol. And for inside-the--waistband carry, the more compact (ie-thin) PPS is a much better choice than a double stack P99. If you want 100% reliability, go revolver, but if you're looking for a very reliable semi-automatic, any Walther, whether P99 or PPS, is a good choice. As I've seen by the member's posts so far, they recommend the PPS. I'd have to agree with them. I always recommend thin- the thinner the better, no matter my method of carry. The PPS is about as thin as it gets. Kahr K9 and P9 might match it in that regard? I have a Kahr MK40, which is quite thin too, but for me the PPS carries better. I've noticed that the PPS is one of the few polymer pistols I've owned (or shot) that actually had a solid metal-like quality about how it feels. Not the typical plastic-feeling polymer gun.
I'd also second what member Siafu says about the PPS trigger. Mine was good to begin with, but it's even better now. Short and crisp.
.........I'll also add that my PPS has so far proven to be reiable. No malfunctions of any kind.
9mm PPS, Zero malfunctions, shot perfect out of the box, no break-in needed for mine. I've tried many small thin 9's, and nothing I tried shoots as well, is as reliable, or durable, and is as soft (little felt recoil)or as thin...the PPS replaced my EDC Sig very rapidly...I still would never sell my Sig tho.
PPS if concealment is more important to you. P99 for higher capacity and a bulkier feel. Both have Walther quality construction and innovative designs.
Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed"
Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it ......
For pocket carry or deep concealment - I love my PPS 9mm. No issues - just the mag prices.
"Being PARANOID is just plain smart thinking when they are really out to get you!"
My friend picked a PPS in 40 for his EDC.
Knowing is half the battle.
Another vote for PPS here. It's my EDC, not a single issue or failure with at least 1,000 rounds through it. Disappears IWB.
I'm a fan of the P99c. I don't have any experience with the PPS other than fondling one, but it is nice and flat. That said, IMO the P99c's more comfortable in the hand and will be an easier shooting pistol because of that. The PPS is a tad over 1" and the P99c's 1.3" which for some that 0.3" is a deal breaker. If you're planning on carrying IWB then the difference could be negligible for you. I used to have a PM9 and I really didn't care for it's tiny grip. It made drawing more difficult and shooting not as controllable. I also prefer the AS trigger's DA/SA feature over a Glock-like trigger.
In the end, the choice is up to you.
Mine: Glock 36............Wife's: Ruger SP101 3"

... at least on my site. Try for example to search for MAZDA. It will return nothing. But here is the link for the article with this word: http://www.autopodstava.ru/?p=77.
Any ideas?
... at least on my site. Try for example to search for MAZDA. It will return nothing. But here is the link for the article with this word: http://www.autopodstava.ru/?p=77.
Any ideas?
The site is in Russian. The search form is above the banner.
No real ideas. I notice that the search is working, just not for the search term "MAZDA". To prove that, I copied another word in the same article (don't speak Russian, so don't know what the word was) and pasted it into the search box on your front page and the search returned three entries that matched that word.
I wonder if this is more a MySQL issue? Maybe a collation conflict? Do you have something like phpMyAmin (or other way of running queries against the db) available?
If so, what happens when you run the following query directly against the db?
SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%MAZDA%'
Does that return a result?
Much warmth,
I'll try it a bit later and let you know.
Mazda is only an example. It does not search for many other words also.
I don't think it is good when it searches successfully for one word and ignores another. Don't you think so? :(
I agree it would be frustrating, but I'm not sure it's specifically a WordPress issue. I can't see why WP would successfully execute some searches, and not others.
I may be being utterly ignorant with this question, but are any of the other words you have problems with Russian words (ie using the Russian alphabet) or are they all English words (ie using the English alphabet, as in "MAZDA")?
Much warmth,
Search for "audi" works but now I'm not sure it finds all the appearances of this word in my articles. One of the articles found with audi query has also word Lexus in it but if I search for Lexus or lexus it returns only one articles and it is not the one that contains audi along with Lexus.
It also fails to search for some digits. It would take long to find the correct article but I am absolutely sure that there's one with 929 in its text. Search returns nothing.
Some searches with russian words that definetely exist in articles on my site are also return nothing, but I can't remember those words right now. :(
(Sorry for my bad English)
Opel is also ignored. It seems WP hates cars! :)
phpMyAdmin 2.3.3pl1 finds MAZDA and other unsearcheable words with no problem.
i read somewhere about it only searching for titles.. and not in the body of the post. if you have opel/mazda as post title, does it find them?
i've also read general problems with WP's search function. it does not search pages, and it's not very relevant. maybe try either of two plugins:
... at least to see if your problem persists!
I've got the same problem, but with WP 2.0.1.
I've got a blog in russian and native WP search doesn't work properly when i try to search for words in russian. When i search for words in english (like "web") the search operates quite well, but with russian words it fails - it simply displays all the posts.
I installed above mentioned plugin, Search Reloaded, but that didn't help me.
May be the problem is in encodings? My blog is in UTF and mysql database which i use for wp is in WIN1251. So may be i need to encode the search terms to WIN from UTF before querying the database?
If so, can someone point me to the place in code where i need to do it?

I am using woocommerce_content() in woocommerce.php, but it only displays on the main page (in a rather rudimentary form). Isn't woocommerce_content() supposed to display all the pages plus use their own CSS (if the box is ticked?).
Also, I've noticed the cart, checkout, account, sub pages uses page.php instead of referencing woocommerce.php. What gives?
Am I missing something out in the developer's documentation?

Song Premiere: Listen To Laurel Halo's 'Sex Mission'
Carnal implications abound on "Sex Mission," a new techno track from the Brooklyn-based musician Laurel Halo. There's the not-exactly-subtle title, and the EP from whence it comes is called Behind the Green Door (out May 21), a nod to a ground-breaking porn flick from the 1970s. The music itself throbs like an accelerating heartbeat. A looped grainy sample — "be still" — conjures up an imaginary lover who's about to show you a really good time.
But, like Lucille Bluth, "Sex Mission" gets off by withholding. Halo keeps things at a tantalizing simmer as the song chugs along, never quite reaching boiling temperatures. It's as tasteful as the title is crass.
Laurel Halo, "Sex Mission"
As explicit as the song's title sounds, Laurel Halo's description of her song is nearly abstract. "The track is about driving energy and elevation via dynamic topographies," Halo told me over email. "Movement and introspection are paramount."
The reminder to dance is a good one, because "Sex Mission" has the power to stop you in your tracks.

Great for the Price
I was able to mount a 26" Visio with little issue. to answer above questions yes it does Tilt all kinds of ways. The only issue you might have is if you are mounting in the corner (such as I did) a 26" will just barely make it. Anything larger will not fit in a corner (due to lenght of mount). Overall this is a great mount for the price.
Was this review helpful to you?YESNO

A Bay County man, badly burned in a Christmas Day fire, has died.
Forty-four-year old Robert VanBemen, died Wednesday afternoon at the University of South Alabama Burn Center in Mobile.
VanBemen suffered third degree burns from the waist-up, when his home in the 1500 block of Texas Avenue, in Lynn Haven, caught fire.
His house did not have electricity, so VanBemen was using candles for heat and light.
His mother told WJHG, he'd been out of work for over a year, but had recently found a job, working construction for the new Wal-Mart in Lynn Haven.

ooc: let me know if this is alright <3 I figured maybe Bear could overhear their conversation and be intrigued. DKW I just wanted to do something different than random meet up wandering about the woods. They can just 'not' head in the same direction, 'not' together.
Although not as at home in Gondor as in Rohan, T�nemel had found herself settled in a farming village somewhere in north Lebennin, resting within the shadows of the Ered Nimrais. Not so close as to spit on, but close enough to view from a distance. The landscape had a pleasant hilliness to it, dotted with the occasional rise of a steeper peak. Above all else, it was strikingly green. Green and sprawling, like the fields they�d raised their horses on in the long distant past. Beautiful. It was a very beautiful land. Painfully so to T�nemel for all the lost memories it evoked.
And yet, she�d been here for nearly two years now. It was only supposed to be a momentary stay, nothing more than a passing through, but plans changed. An exchange of fixing a broken plow for a nights stay under a roof turned into a laundry list of things to be done for the village who hadn�t had a decent blacksmith in months, maybe years, upon her arrival. The sorry excuse for the village�s forge had been collecting dust in a dilapidated shack for Eru�s sake. She might not be a disciple of Aul�, but T�nemel knew her way around a forge well enough to suit the villager's simple needs. Plus, the few horses needed their hooves looked after as well; even plow horses needed a little tending to from a good farrier. For the most part, her existence had been relatively peaceful. She should have loved it, and it would be a lie to say T�nemel hadn�t enjoyed it, but it was certainly dull.
So, the news of a troll in the northern hills brought on an unusual amount of excitement for the soldier. However, the fact that her usual hunting companion had so casually declared a lack of interest disturbed her greatly.
�You can�t have plans,� T�nemel scoffed while working on the iron teeth for a new harrow. It was an easy process, mindless really, which enabled her ample ability to wave about her hammering tools in her youthful companion's direction.
�I have plans."
�We had plans,� Plans that involved hunting a troll, which had to be much better than whatever plans H�nalal might have made with whoever. What was there even to do here? T�nemel tried not to think too much about whatever, or whoever, H�nalal had planned for the evening.
�Why don�t we start the hunt tomorrow night instead? The troll will still be in the area,� She retorted flippantly, leaning against the wall of the forge with her arms folded across her chest. For all the world, she looked like a sulking beau, pitching a fit at an older brother or cousin. Both passed themselves off as men for sake of ease in traveling and employment. T�nemel was far more convincing with her height and broader musculature, but H�nalal played the part of budding young man quite well by now. They were undeniably fairer than most Men and men, but people believed what they were presented with for the most part. If anything, only their race was questioned, but very little complaint was ever made about it. Their sex might cause more stir, even in the more free thinking areas of Men's domain. There was little physical resemblance between them, but the behavior bespoke of a close tie between the two that had familial twinges. They might as well be given the amount of time they�d spent together and the perils they�d faced. At times like this, T�nemel felt like H�nalal was an irritating younger sibling.
�More sheep will be taken,� She grumbled, casting a reproachful glance at the now crestfallen H�nalal. They�d been here long enough to genuinely care about the people, and lost sheep meant lost resources. More worrisome, the troll seemed to be heading closer to the more remote farmer homes. �But fine. I�ll go by myself. I�m taking your crossbow though.�
H�nalal perked up at the concession, �don�t lose it. Or break it beyond fixing. Just don�t break it in general. I don�t want to deal with putting it back together.� Perhaps the expected response would be to show concern for the apparent idiocy of her friend proposing to take on a troll alone. However, if T�nemel couldn�t handle a troll on her own than H�nalal was a beardless dwarf maid. Sure, it wouldn�t be easy, but neither was particularly concerned about the outcome of T�nemel hunting alone. She�d survived the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the War of the Last Alliance. T�nemel felt fairly confident in her ability to handle a troll. It might even be fun.
The third member of their trio finally pipped up, from his place besides the forge where he observed his mentor, �I could go with you, Bewitan. You said yourself I was getting better with swordplay.� His blush acknowledged the fact they�d only practiced with wooden practice wasters.
Both elves glanced towards the young lad, one expression more amused than the other, but still at the same time replied flatly, �no.�
�But�� He prepared to launch himself into a lengthy explanation but was cut short.
�No,� T�nemel, who the youth of Gondor knew as Bewitan, shook her head resolutely. The last thing she needed was an unexperienced youth tagging along on a troll hunt. They were hard to kill, dangerous despite their general lack of cleverness. She�d have her hands full taking one on herself. T�n would not risk her apprentice, eager and skilled, but still young. She�d taken him on in the hopes to not leave the village bereft of a blacksmith upon her inevitably departure. Admittedly, he�d grown on her, and the disappointment written on his face moved T�n to openly express some sympathy. �We�ll move to blunted blades when I get back.�
How easily youths could be appeased, she thought to herself, as his dreary looked turned to one of excitement. �Promise?�
�Promise,� And T�n kept her promises. It would be an easy enough one to keep. �And I think you�ve worked the forge�s long enough today. Go help your brothers in the field.� A task that was far more sociable than working with the somber elf. �Take Hlude with you, make him earn his keep since he doesn�t earn it here.�
H�nalal wrinkled her nose at T�n, accompanying a grand eye roll. Still, it was a fair point. So, with little complaint, �Hlude� swept out of the forge with the chattering youth to go work the fields. T�nemel watched them go, grateful for the peace that followed their departure. Her forge was more a glorified stall than a proper shop, not much more than three walls and a ceiling. Still, she liked it better than having some enclosed shop. T�n wouldn�t admit to being claustrophobic, but she�d never cared for proper establishments. The lack of a proper fourth wall let in a breeze to combat the heat from the fire. Not that she sweat much, if at all, but it was still refreshing. It helped to keep the shackles welded on her lower arms from heating up too much.
Rolled up sleeves exposed the constant reminders of her captivity. They'd been dented, chipped, but not broken. The similarity between her and the shackles were strikingly obvious to her. Another one of life's jokes. Dark hair pulled back into a low bun hid the other reminder, far less funny. There was no amount of heat that would force her into exposing her mutilated ears, but T�n had mastered a range of styles that both hid the jagged remainders of her ears and kept her mass of hair off her neck.
She twirled the small smithy hammer in her hand, glancing at her finished work and what was left to be done. A sword in its scabbard, still easily to identify as finer than anything else to be found in this village or surrounding area for that mattered, waited to be sharpened. Trolls did have incredibly thick skin, much like their skulls. In a few more hours she'd set out on the hunt, one less member of her hunting party than planned. Part of her second guessed not moving her hunt date back to tomorrow so that she�d have H�nalal with her.
However, T�n was incredibly proud. She�d not admit to wanting someone along for the hunt. She could handle this by herself. Of course, she could. Why was she even thinking about this? T�n rubbed at her face, feeling the grit that settled upon her face from the morning spent at the forge. She'd had no great love of it like others of the Noldor, but it still reminded her of home, of Tirion. It seemed everything reminded her of the past lately. This hunt would be a good thing, a way to take her mind away from the past. Her demons had been quiet lately, perhaps appeased for a time by the peaceful village life. She'd hate for them to wake up due to lingering thoughts on a home long lost to her.
A heavy sigh escaped between pursed lips. Maybe she should just leave early. Now might be nice. Ai, but Airandur still needed to be sharpened. She set about the chore, lovingly caressing the blade upon removing it from the worn scabbard. The sword was Rohirric in nature, down to the running horse etched into the blade above an engraved inscription, an old inside joke of sorts instead of some profound prose. It was done by a friend long gone from this world. The inevitable heartbreak of living among Men as their short lifespan, but T�n gladly suffered the brevity of the friendships. Perched atop a stool near the entrance of her forge, long legs sprawled before her, T�n carefully guided a whetstone along the blade in precise strokes. Even an only slightly dull blade would be an unfortunate tool against the thick skin of a troll.

Travel had been surprisingly easy going since leaving Rivendell behind - Imladris, it�s folk called it. Either way, Bear rather felt the other name for it - the Last Homely House - was perhaps the most apt of the three. Then again, he didn�t much know what Imladris meant in the tongue of the elves. Either way, he�d not known that sort of hospitality since he was a wee lad living in Erebor, when his people were open with their hearts and knew the value of community and bonding. That such a warm feeling could be brought forth to him by elves was still a bit mind-numbing, but he knew from that day on he�d have no hesitation on whether or not to take advantage of the last stop before the mountain passes into Rhovanion.
He�d taken a much longer route down to Gondor, following the path of the mountains south and keeping to them through Dunland, never heading too far into the lands of Men but rather searching for the hidden doors and passages that lead on to various gatherings and groups of his people. They traveled in family clans for the most part, tight knit and wary of strangers, but for the most part they listened to his stories of Ered Luin, and of prince Thorin�s leadership. Of the home that could be found in those blue mountains, where their kin could once more give them strength and a warm hearth. An end to the dispossessed wandering of migrants and vagabonds, but a home once again.
Bear didn�t know how many heeded him, if any actually took the hope he offered and made their way to Thorin�s halls, but he kept on going and kept on giving his tale as much as he could. He had no real ties to anyone or anything, but he did have a heart that was full of hope for his people and he could not allow himself to be idle. Someone needed to reunite them, or at least give them some sense that there was a place for them that they would belong in. It wasn�t much maybe, but Bear at least hoped it was something.
He�d been months in the mountains of Gondor, finding more of his folk there with more frequency than most other places. Only now was he traveling down through the flatlands where the menfolk made the most of the land. He found dwarves here as well, in forges and other trades, but these ones were fairly settled into this new way of life and had less reason to listen than those who huddled their way through the mountains. Still he carried on, ever south, determined to touch every corner of Gondor before making his way north again.
Bear was in need of a few wares before he began that long trek however, not the least of which being new shoes for Badger. His shaggy mountain pony had worn them down well and could probably have gone another week or two before needing to see the farrier again, had it not been for the latest goblin scuffle. Few folk expected a pony to be trained the same as a Rohirrim battler, but Badger was as good a fighter as his rider was. He spun, kicked and bit with the best of them, keeping a wary eye on anything that came too close and striking out when needed.
They got off barely nicked, but Badger had edged a shoe loose in a goblin�s skull - a good way to lose a shoe, in Bear�s opinion, but he couldn�t keep his pony in such shape after such a good show. The town they reached now was small, but it showed signs of an active blacksmith - spokes on the wheels were new enough to catch sunlight still, most of the horses were well shod and he even saw a new ring on the sign of the inn. All good signs, as it meant he wouldn�t have to work the bellows himself and find himself lingering longer than he ought in order to pay his way to using it by helping out the townsfolk a bit.
Making his way to the forge, Bear led Badger on, having opted not to ride him since the shoe made itself loose, and so was a bit less of a jangle than usual. As such, he caught wind of talk inside as he rubbed down his pony�s neck and prepared to head in to haggle himself either some aid or right to the forge for himself. He didn�t hear much - some of the voices were soft - but he got the gist of things by the time he�d gotten Badger free of his saddle and gear. He finished brushing down the pony, giving him some time to enjoy the freedom before getting stuck with having his shoes removed and replaced, before heading inside.
Seeing as the last remainder was busy sharpening his sword, Bear coughed to catch his attention, wondering mildly how such a slim looking fellow could work a bellows at all as he stated, �I be needin� new shoes for my pony outside. I can blast em myself, but I know how some folk get about their forges. Mind we talk price afore you head off troll killin?� He inquired, a plum crazy part of his mind thinking it might be rather fun to tag along on that adventure, but knowing better than to ask. Follow though, unseen - that he might just do.

Even before the cough, T�n realized she was not alone. Hypervigilance paid off on the occasion. Not that she felt particularly threatened by the dwarf. Her grudges went deeper than that of elf and dwarf, her particular racism ebbing towards more sinister breeds. Granted, she did know quite a few good dwarf jokes thanks to Hunalal but would certainly not rattle them off at present. The dwarf had impeccable timing given the fact he�d narrowly missed running into her far more racist friend who would certainly not have held her tongue. Marillel did, however, wait for the interrupting cough to acknowledge him.
Pale eyes glanced away from the sword and to the welcome intruder, about to offer a polite greeting but remained quiet as the dwarf stated his needs. She didn�t mind the lack of proper social graces. Marillel was not so good at them herself and preferred being direct rather than superfluous. Admittedly, she liked that about dwarves. They did not seem as concerned with pomp and circumstance that her kin did or at least how she remembered. Perhaps things had changed or maybe they hadn�t. Tin couldn�t say and had no interest in finding out. The thought of setting foot into another elvish settlement unsettled her for a variety of reasons.
The comment regarding her forge brought her back, at least in memory, to times she lived among her own people. She did not think of this essential-shack with an anvil as her forge. No, that had been a far more glorious establishment in Barad Eithel where they�d crafted armor for the horses unlike any other. They�d fit together the many individual metal pieces together like feathers on a bird, allowing a complete range of movement and dispersion of a hit. The key was in the different sizes of the �feathers� and the careful manner in which they were layered. Marilel would never claim to be a master smith, but that mounts' armor had been something uniquely wonderful. She had not attempted nor wanted to attempt a remaking of it since N�rnaeth Arnoediad. Marillel doubted she still possessed the skill to make anything of the sort again.
As for horseshoes, well, that was the basis of footing, and therefore, the most important piece of equipment for a sturdy mount. That particularly talent Marillel still had with great skill. �Let me take a look, and then we can talk price,� She rumbled in a low but non-threatening tone, slipping the sword back into its scabbard and rolling up onto her feet. Leaving the sword leaning against a wall, Marillel wasted no time in examining his pony. A quirk of a smile tugged at the left corner of her lips. No Rohirrim battler for sure, but a stout little fighter without doubt. She offered a hand for the pony to sniff and muzzle on his own accord, not rushing the introduction.
Out of old habit rather than genuine concern, she ran her large hands over the ridge of his neck and withers, along the curve of his back and hips. His alignment was good, no sore spots to suggest mistreatment either out of ignorance or indifference. The pony looked happily fat but not overfed, fit would be a good description. There was a good amount of time before Marillel actually even got around to looking at the issue of the loose shoe, but she would not be rushed. Her examination of all four legs, hooves and shoes was just as thorough.
�It shouldn�t take too long to fix. The other three will last about another week or two, but I can replace those now with something better,� She finally concluded, taking a moment to coax the pony into letting her peak at his teeth. Finding them satisfactory, Tin let the pony have back his head but still gently scratched behind his ears. �As for price,� She mulled over her options, eyes flickering to the dwarf, then to the weaponry by his packs and back to him. �Have you ever killed a troll before?� It was a long shot, but Marillel was too old to go off troll killing by herself, and she�d not yet met a dwarf on the road who couldn�t hold his own in a fight.

I havent had a internship yet. I plan to have one at a local pharmacy. It is difficult to find a internship.
The program was brutal to enter. The classes were specifically made to be tougher to eliminate students such as organic II and general Chemistry. The most important criteria for admission will always be grades. I advise students to have a GPA of 3.4 or better before applying and to maintain a 3.4 or better. For admission, the counsel wants a well rounded student who is smart and able to participate in events throughout the school.
No difficulties or challenges encountered to get into the program, no abnormal application process.
A lot of hands-on practice and a lot of opportunities to gain experience. Helpful faculty and focused curriculum
we have to have internships and although I haven't had one yet, people I know have talked very highly of them

Commonweal Magazine
Trending Topics:
I hope a forthcoming issue of Commonweal will forcefully dispel the notion that Catholics are somehow required by moral imperative to vote as a bloc. Despite the U.S. bishops' document "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," and, even more forceful, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's concluding note in his 2004 document "Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion," misinformation from the media and even some church authorities is likely to convince many Catholics—possibly even a majority—that they are required by their faith to cast their votes on the basis of single moral issues. Ratzinger's statement is crystal clear on the matter: "When a Catholic does not share a candidate's stand in favor of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons."

Homsar as Bizarro by GpapantoWatch
©2006-2016 Gpapanto
I just got into Homestar Runner for about a year, and I especially have fun watching the Halloween episodes (They rank right up there with those of The Simpsons). The Brothers Chaps come up with some of the coolest (albeit esoteric) costumes for the characters to wear. So I thought I would try my own costumes for each character.
Here's Homsar as Bizarro. I figured that this would be appropriate since Homsar is to Homestar what Bizarro is to Superman.

Very good
I've never heard of Bizarro... Are there any physical differences between him and Superman besides having a backwards S?
Totally fitting!
I'm the strong man bad man!
I'm the strong man bad man!
That's cool! Have you tried Homestar as Superman?
I haven't, but people often mistake this costume as Superman.
Thanks for the fave.
Thanks for the fave.
Wow Homsar would make a perfect Bizarro!
Thanks. That's exactly what I was thinking when I came up with this. After all, Homsar is pretty much the Bizarro version of Homestar.
the best costume is when he was tingle
nice one

Thanks. That Tingle costume was one of my favorites as well.

Research Institution:
AbstractThe analysis and design study of the Phase 1 work shows that a proposed scroll carbon dioxide expander for refrigerant energy recovery in transcritical carbon dioxide cooling systems will be viable. The analysis also shows that the expander will improve efficiency of a carbon dioxide cooling system by more than 15%. A proof of concept prototype will be designed, fabricated, and tested. Then, in collaboration with Tecumseh Products Company, the prototype will be integrated with a hermetic two-stage rotary CO2 compressor. Via a common crankshaft, the mechanical power recovered by the expander will provide part of the shaft power needed to drive the compressor. The hermetic expander/compressor will be delivered to the Army for integration in ECU prototypes which are based on the carbon dioxide cycle to allow the full system benefits of the expander to be demonstrated.

I hadn't been to Solitude in a few years. This past weekend, we made a point of making it here. I was under the assumption that Soli isn't that great of place if there hasn't been fresh snow. I was proven wrong. Also, now that I've advanced a bit as a skier, I'm finding out just how fun & challenging the terrain at Solitude can be.
Since the last bit of snow for the Wasatch was a week ago, I was skeptical about the conditions at Solitude: usually the front-side is icy and wind-blown. But we remained optimistic and got tickets to ride anyway (free tip: military members get $45 lift tickets for either full-day or half-day riding. What a sweet deal!). We usually make our way back to Honeycomb Canyon, but both the Sunrise and Summit chair--the main gateway to Honeycomb--was out of comimssion due to a power outage. We talked to a friendly lifty who told us to get on the Powderhorn II chair and get into Honeycomb through a gate there. We obliged him, but holy crap...what a slow piece of junk that Powerhorn lift is! Might as well bring a magazine if you ride it...it's slow.
We took the gate into Honeycomb and traversed out to skier's left into some milder terrain in Honeycomb. We were treated to some great, steep glades with plenty of snow and coverage. We got in plenty of soft turns, then were dumped onto the exit trail. After a few seconds of riding the exit trail out of Honeycomb, we ran across another gate that took us back into even more terrain, with some chutes filled in with plenty of snow. We lapped this the entire day, getting our fill of awesome, soft, snowy turns until the gates finally went up.
To warm down for the day, we decided to take a few groomer runs. One thing I've learned from Soli: their groomers are steep! Of course, the challenge is welcomed to a Midwest skier, but holy wow...probably the steepest groomer I've been on. We took some high-speed groomers the rest of the day, until we had to pick our way back to the parking lot.
Solitude would be an amazing resort on a powder day. It's pretty dang good for non-powder days, too--mostly because of Honeycomb--but I would imagine the steep terrain on the frontside as well would be amazing covered up with some fresh snow. Soli solidified itself as #4 in my list of favorite Utah resorts that day, and I'll surely be returning.

"Daily Show": Meet the moron who got San Francisco to ban Happy Meals
posted at 6:40 pm on January 5, 2011 by Allahpundit
Via Reason, Heritage, and a slew of other righty blogs, cleanse your palate with a salty, fatty video snack. Things start slow but hang in there for the end of the interview between Frisco nanny-in-chief Eric Mar and Aasif Mandvi, who finally gives up on trying to contain his incredulity. Between Gavin Newsom opposing the ban and TDS now devoting five-minute segments to goofing on it, I wonder how much support there is even on the left for this sort of thing. How would a national poll shake out? Fifteen percent in favor, maybe? Twenty percent?
If they're willing to go after this sort of liberal excess, I'm guessing the segment on the new edition of Huckleberry Finn is already in the works. Exit question: Do they have a conservative on the writing staff? Maybe just a guy who voted once for Bloomberg back when he was an, ahem, "Republican," right?

The American firm Banfi own (too) much of the Brunello territory. In my opinion they are not the best wine makers, but they sure know how to build a great hotel. Just like Disney knows how to make good kids movies.
Everything is excellent. The room is huge (the shower alone as big as a room in NYC), beautiful, comfortable. The service is perfect. Breakfast is great. We had a package deal with dinner included, which was great, only minor point was our smoking neighbor.
The pool is beautiful, with breathtaking view, service around the pool is truly 5 star.
In the reading room one can drink as much (Banfi) wine as one likes, while listening to (good) classical music.
To be short: fantastic experience! Very memorable indeed.

Interview Coaching Is a Game Changer!
Just wanted to share with you this feedback I received from someone I helped prepare for her webcam interview.
I contacted Peggy one week before an important job interview for help preparing for the interview. Since I was out of town, we spoke via Skype, which was helpful because my interview was by webcam.
Peggy gave me valuable feedback on how I came across on camera, and she gave me suggestions on how to be more confident and engaging.
I applied her suggestions and received the offer for my dream job a few months later! I cannot thank Peggy enough for her help--her interview coaching service is a complete game changer!
Do you have a Skype interview (or any job interview) coming up? Personal coaching is the fastest, most targeted way to improve your interview performance.

I've been involved in one aspect or another of the adventure games hobby for the past twenty-five years. Started playing in 1987. (First game? Champions, followed by CyberSpace, the Iron Crown cyberpunk game for Space Master, their sci-fi Rolemaster spin-off.) Was hired by InQuest Magazine in 1996, where I started my editorial career. Since then, I've done work for Green Ronin, Malhavoc Press, Dream Pod 9, and White Wolf. I managed two different game stores in the metro Boston area in the 2000s, and am now working primarily freelance. Still gaming after all these years.
I have a weakness for good coffee and bad puns.

Snowy Hurricane Sandy
A storm is always brewing.
The most populated region of the nation is now bracing for a snowstorm and a hurricane hitting at the same time.
You know the scene: Downed power lines, broken trees, accidents, injuries, maybe deaths, maybe billions of dollars in insurance claims. And then, for most of us, life will go on as usual, until the next one.
We seem to be in a quickening cycle of floods, droughts, wildfires, tornadoes, heat waves, hailstones and freak storms.
As I write, several homes are burning in an uncontained wildfire about 100 miles south of me, near Pueblo, Colo. This comes after about 350 homes burned this summer, just 60 miles south of me, in Colorado Springs. Ash and smoke bleached the skies for weeks.
Remember the hurricane that was headed for the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August but hit New Orleans instead? Remember the tornadoes that killed scores of people earlier this year as they skipped across the South and Midwest? Remember the drought that scorched our nation's corn crop and is now causing a world-wide surge in food prices?
Neither do I.
I am on to the next thing. I am headed to New York to possibly suffer through a hurricane and a snowstorm at the same time.
Meteorologists were already calling Hurricane Sandy a rare storm for the Northeast as they developed their forecasts last week. Last October, when I was working in New York, I stood outside all night interviewing Occupy Wall Street protesters as a freezing-rain storm walloped the Northeast. Meteorologists called that a rare storm, too.
Some think of the weather as a metaphor for the economy. I think they are the same thing.
This was more obvious in ancient agrarian societies when wealth came and went with good and bad seasons. Today, it's more subtle: A warm winter can lower natural-gas prices. A snowy December can dampen retail-sales numbers for an entire year. It's also more connected: The economy pumps more carbon into the atmosphere. Then the atmosphere pumps more casualty losses into the economy.
Even if you don't believe in climate change, your claims-paying insurance company does.
Some forecasters predict a recession for next year, whether Washington effectively deals with its dreaded "fiscal cliff" or not.
The global economy is slowing. Europe's economic leaders are still bouncing from one emergency meeting to the next. Even China is losing its steam. So U.S. companies are warning of leaner times.
There still may be warm, sunny days when we can be lulled into thinking all of this will improve if we just vote for the right party. But the long-term forecast is for crisis after crisis, all to be addressed with temporary solutions that only lead to more crises.
I wish we would just name them all the way we name hurricanes. I would call the Internet bubble Dotty. I would call the real-estate bust Homer. I would call the fiscal cliff Clifford.
If Gov. Mitt Romney wins in November, we can call it the Romney recession. If President Barack Obama wins, we can just say, see, told you this would happen. But presidents do not control the weather. They just pretend to during election cycles.
The atmosphere has become more volatile because of the carbon we've pumped into it. The economy has become more volatile because of the debt we've pumped into it.
This stuff isn't going away any time soon. Hunker down. Try to enjoy the storm before the next one comes bearing down on you.

Do not change Music on Main
Published: Friday, April 2, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 2, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Wow! I sat down with my paper this morning and could not believe the news: "Music on Main hits a rough note!" (T-N, March 26).
What an asinine idea, Mr. Nicholson!
I've lived here for five years now, and I can't, for the love of me, find a more pleasant way to spend a Friday evening, in the cool of the mountains, in a quaint little town such as Hendersonville, listening to the music that is our heritage from people who grew up in this region, not to mention the absolutely beautiful antique and classic cars that are put on display once a month (it should be double that!).
Oh yeah, they weren't even mentioned in the story!
I'm confused here. I thought the idea of the merchants was to get the public in town, not cancel a big draw such as the music and the cars! Surely there has got to be a solution to this idiotic idea.
My only hope is that only good will emerge from the April 8 meeting, and our Music On Main will continue for years to come.

updated 07/10/2013 AT 3:55 PM ET
•originally published 07/10/2013 AT 4:00 PM ET
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 counts including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill.
In his first public appearance since being arrested April 19, he entered the plea Wednesday at his arraignment in federal court in Boston.
For first one, he leaned toward a microphone and said, "Not guilty," in a Russian accent. He then said not guilty repeatedly about a half-dozen more times.
Federal prosecutors are weighing whether to pursue the death penalty for the 19-year-old Tsarnaev.
Authorities say he and an older brother, Tamerlan, planted two bombs, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 at the April 15 marathon. The older brother was killed three days later following a shootout with police. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was later found hiding in a boat in a suburban backyard.

This photo was blowing my mind today.
Shimano Di-2 component group with 48 tooth chainring(I ran the 48 tooth chainring at cx vegas!)
Ridley X-Knight frame (world champ pedigree!)
My sponsors last cx season were legitimate. Top equipment.
That's all I got.
I went up to Seattle for a couple days to help a pal last Wednesday. I met up with old pals and new, then spent Thursday evening playing video games with my little brothers and dad. I dialed in their bicycles and went for a little shred around the neighborhood with them. The trip was brilliant and now I am rolling hard into a new week.
I drove through Olympia and thought about this video. Though, this may actually be Portland. And, yes I've been to a Hazel show. Shit was crazy times.
Women's cycling! PRO women's bicycle racing!
Peanut Butter & Co. TWENTY12 Team from Jim Fryer/BrakeThrough Media on Vimeo.
I was a fan of PROMAN. And I was a fan of Peanut Butter and Co. Now I can enjoy both flavors at the same time!
First: you should know that Dolphins are just about as smart as you. Well, smarter than most bike racers really. This video is evidence.
Circle your prey, cause it to freak out, and jump into your trap. Pretty much my racing style.
We all know Jens is hard. So hard that he needs to use a gameboy or a book to relax. Handheld gaming will now become hotter than compression garments. heh heh. My boner for Jens just got a little bit bigger. Wait! did I just say I had a boner for Jens?! geez. Enjoy this video interview:
Dave Moulton keeps the good posts coming. Always, always a good read. I fancied myself a madison specialist for a couple years. And always dreamed of going to Europe to ride the sixes.
Track Cycling from SpeedskaterHD on Vimeo.
Combine that with Dean Tracy's 6-day euro life update. Dean Tracy is the real deal folks. And, rumor has it he will be back in Portland for a season of road racing.
I'm calling him out as the only real threat to Steven Beardsley's Oregon sprinting dominance. If Dean can find his road legs in the next few months Steven will have his hands full. I'll gladly be observing it all go down from my position in the rear of the field.
What else do I have? An article declaring that the US will have both a World Cup and the World Championships in Kentucky in a few years. Fuck yeah!! Well, we have heard all of this before. Remember the one about Sven Nys chartering an airplane to fly all of the Euro-pros over to the states for the World Cup that was supposed to happen?
Yeah. About that…
Portland has been exceptionally nice this time of year. It is mostly dry and beautiful. And I am still just not really finding the time to get on the bike. So damn busy with work in Portland Bicycle Studio and keeping the Veloshop rolling smooth.
I need to get everything sorted so I can start riding regularly again.
These videos are worth the twenty minutes of your life: (if you like cyclocross)
I love the way Stybar races. Aggressive, punchy and fighty the whole way. When he is on, he just looks like he is having a blast on the course. And good ol skinny bones throwing down the late surge. When is Klass going to rise above the rest of the field and win something big?!
I'd love to go back and race Roubaix. It is sooo f'ing hard. They ran the course backwards to the way I have ridden it. Those videos show you some true cyclocross. A heavy course, lots of running. Sketch ball descents that the top riders have to jog down.
Local rider often ask me: "what are Euro courses like? what is different about them?". Take a look at this course, only 2 top US riders finished on the same lap and one of them barely. Most Euro cx courses will have some features that all but the toppers can manage to ride. We just don't have the fitness and skills to ride courses like this! US course designers and promoters cannot put on races that truly challenge the top riders because the rest of the categories would not be able to complete more than a lap or two.
And, that would not be very fun for the non-elite categories. As a rider, I would love to see more difficult courses but, as a lover of cx, I want to see it continue to grow and I know people would not keep racing if every course they did was so challenging that they had to run every section.
Dugasts really do appear more delicate than some other brands available. Nothing personal, just an observation.
I've had more than a few of them fall victim to water creeping in from the basetape. Anyone have any more pro-er than pro sealing techniques? Care to share? You don't even need to "aquaseal" or coat FMB and Challenge tubulars and they rarely fall victim to the rot as commonly as the good ol Dugasts. I have seen a couple FMBs go but, never in the first month or two of race use… (assume here that cleaning and storage are similar, clean them, dry them and store them dry.)
Not keeping me from buying them though. I do wonder why they fail like that so often. I fancy myself as being a tubular tyre connoisseur but can't find logic enough to make a hard judgment.
I'm in a fight with a pal this evening and here is my make-up attempt:
Wild Palms from felix buckley on Vimeo.
I don't know, maybe this music may backfire and could very well break us up forever but, I don't think so. It is hard to find solid bands. I really like a lot of electronic stuff out there these days but, this video from these British kids is pretty solid. I'm not sure I love the Joy Division-esque moaning but, it feels authentic to me.
Which I value.
I kinda fantasized about my skiing experience being like this video. Without all the silly euro schenanigans.
Ok, maybe with all of the euro schenanigans.
This video is nuts. Soooo good! I don't really know alot about skiing and this looks sooo intense! ps: mute the soundtrack on this video.
And, I have JD to thank for most of the great art I am exposed to these days. MY LOVE FOR YOU blog is good, subscribe to it.
Mary Iverson. Info on her current show and art here.
This lines and colors in this piece remind me of my old pal Kelly Martin. Who painted a mural in the mezzanine of the Veloshop in the very, very beginning of the shop. The very mural that a certain Paolo Pezzo poster is mounted onto.
Is one of these jerseys. In small, please. I would even take it sleeveless.
What the hell?! British Cyclocross 2010 national championship postponed due to snow! I enjoyed this article. But, I'm not sure that Percy Stallard was ever a World Champion… of anything. Any Brits care to clarify?
I am a fan of the childless "movement". This planet does not need more "little miracles". Don't get me wrong, I am not a kid-hater. I just really don't want them for myself (or my partner).
Pete told me a statistic this morning: something like %90 of Willamette Week readers are childless. My response: "cause if you have kids you will be too busy to have time to read it!"
Speaking of Brits. If you don't already read WashingMachinePost, you really should. I mean, he gets a Cielo before I get a Cielo. That means something. Sidenote: I decided to give Chain Lube Number Five a call to check it out. And I got an awesome rambling message from one of the guys in New York! I love small businesses! I appreciate it when someone gives me a personal call back. (and the same day.) I'll check the lube out and let you know!
And… speaking of more Brits. I have mentioned that I am a Sci-fi nerd. Well, it turns out an author I have ben reading has a blog, that he actually updates (more often than I do mine). This lead me to his Facebook page. This is pretty awesome. I mean, the future is now. Why the hell should not fans have a little access to our online personalities? Neal Asher writes good Sci-Fi. I have a policy of not keeping a book library and passing books on to those who need them so, if you want to check him out, give me a holler.
Finally: (this is old news) CyclingDirt did a profile video on both of my businesses. It is pretty cool.
And yes, I finally cut all that damn hair off.
Imma let you get back to work, but I just want to say: molly cameron will be updating this blog on a more regular basis! A REGULAR BASIS! (PS: I still think what Kanye did was brilliant!)
Everything in this BUILD LLC post is brilliant. I was going to write up something about the favela and slum photos but, you should just follow the links to the original source.
Memorials. This is the memorial to fallen cyclists.
This is cute. Ah, I remember the days of steel. And being like, the only shop in Portland who knew what the hell "rolling a dent out" meant…
I love working at Portland Bicycle Studio. This is what I get to look forward to on a daily basis:
So, I have a lot to write about. I've taken a solid break since CX Nationals.
I went for a jog a couple days ago. That was a bad idea…
Got these in my inbox last week:
The one on the right from Chris Milliman. He sure knows how to capture the Embrocation sheen.
And, a few from Joe Sales, future fan cards here?
I'm starting the 30+ age group category tomorrow. This represents my attitude, guns blazing, no prisoners.
The age group race was not a priority this season and I was not planning on entering it until I realized I did not have enough $ to head over to Belgium this December. There are a lot of fast guys in the race, it should (yet again) be a good battle.
I'll be pumped to win it. And it will be a great warm up for the Elite race on Sunday.
I'm loving the snowy conditions. LOVING them!
I am a SF (science fiction) nerd. And this (not yet a real show) looks amazing. Soooooo amazing. Thanks to Neal Asher for posting about it.

b1948:"The WWII generation got a sweet deal from Medicare and Social Security, but those days are long gone."
They also got a sweet deal in that at least half of them got company, state, or federal pensions, and lots got Veterans benefits as well.
That was the deal back then.
BUt don't whine too much. Food used to consume much more of the family budget. Most WW2 folks could not afford two cars and each car ate up a lot more in maintenance per year. Two tune ups a year. A car lasted 60K miles and 100K was almost unheard of. Tires lasted 20K miles. You needed a new muffler every 18 months. You had to change the 'points' in the car.
TV was black and white with dozens of tubes in them - and they burned out regularly costing you to get them repaired. Then color TV came along and it cost a lot of money and had lots of tubes.
If you had heart problems, you probably were 'just managed'. There was no bypass surgery......that came later..maybe you lasted long enough to benefit from it and all the medicines developed.

The Solar restore battery power adapter meet all my expectations and more! I purchased for a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail. The battery has the option to be charged through an ac adapter so I was able to leave with it fully charged, such a nice feature! It came with a few adapters (microUSB & miniUSB & OEM USB)which actually fit my phone and my Itouch as well as my friends phone. It has two ports on it- one USB and the other MicroUSB connector so it has many capabilities. I was able to listen to my Itouch while charging it! Love it! Says that it has over 1,000 charges I hope it does!

This does come in handy when out hiking and such the only draw back is that it takes for ever to charge something with it. It took me 2 1/2 hours to charge my iphone from 20% battery on my iphone and 100% charge on the solar charger
In theory this charger is a great item at a good price, since we rely so heavily on electronic devices to communicate even in emergency situations & where there is widespread power loss. I would venture to say this should be one of those things everybody should have in their "emergency kit". That was the primary reason I purchased the charger, but figured it would do double-duty for camping & hiking excursions as well. However the device we received was a faulty, non-working model. I am going to reorder another and hope it's a winner, because I believe it would be a very useful thing to have... if it worked!
The idea of the Solar Restore Battery Power Adapter was intriguing to me so I bought one. The quality was good and the concept was even better, but the it was substandard in functionality. The power transfer function is more on a "trickle charger" device than a power transfer device and it usually didn't charge my Smart Phone properly. The light works well and it holds a charge properly but to use it as a back up charging device was disappointing.
This works when you charge it through the computer but the solar part is a disappointment. It took days in the sun to charge it and then I plugged it into the phone and it drained the charge in minutes and did not charge the phone to even 30%. Would not recommend!
This solar panel is of greater quality than the majority of the small solar panels I have purchased, say for outdoor lights. It will be good for recharging my phone or computer while in remote circumstances. I believe it will be worth the cost.
