More Efficient From the moment it is placed under sunlight, the Sunpower solar panels convert more photons into energy than other similar products. Up to 23.5% of solar energy gets transfer into electric current to charge your devices.
Dual-USB Charging Dual USB ports with maximum current total output of 2.8A to charge two devices simultaneously. Your devices will be back to full battery in no time.
Stand Up There are two stands at the back of the charger to help the solar panel stays perpendicular to the sunlight, and hence increase charging efficiency.
Rugged Quality Although not to be used in raining days due to lack of sun, the solar panel is waterproof (not including the USB output ports) and rugged enough to withstand most weather and environment conditions in the wild. They can be easily fold up and carried to your next destination.
A philosophical meditation on the meaning of Eames toys from the July / August 1957 issue of Architectural Association Journal.
Thanks to Catherine Ince of the Barbican for sharing this interesting article about Eames toys, including two illustrations from the Eames Giant House of Cards.

Last weekend I shared a post about building a functional wardrobe (the post is here if you missed it!), and one of the essentials I shared was blouses. I’m all about t-shirts, but nice blouses that can be worn for slightly dressier occasions are an absolute must.
I found this one on sale last week and the gorgeous dusty pink lace instantly pulled me in. The details of the ladder trim at the neckline, and the mock neck make it feel really special. It runs a tiny bit big — I’m in an XS!
I tucked it into a pair of high waisted jeans (I’m wearing these ones, but these ones are similar and on sale!), but it would look amazing tucked into an a-line skirt with heels, or half tucked into boyfriend jeans with flat sandals, or with white skinny jeans and wedges. Lots of possibilities!
I also just got these little studded bow flats, and although they come in a bunch of other colors, I love a good neutral flat I can wear with everything. These run slightly small, so size up a half size!
18 Summer Tops Under $50!
The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is filled with tons of good Fall basics, but sometimes it can be hard to shop for cold weather items when it’s so hot outside! So I rounded up 18 of the best tops under $50, all perfect for summer — check them out below!
[note:] The sale is still in early access, and only open to Nordstrom card holders, but it opens to the public this Friday!
I also rounded up a bunch of favorites here, and tried on some favorites in the dressing room with fit and sizing details right here!
That top is so dreamy!!!
I love the lace top but is it lined at all?
The neck and sleeves are not lined, but the whole front is!

Just what we do. It's powerful enough to do the job & a 3 week holiday hardly made a dent in the charge on a 5 AH battery. I suspect that other makes of cordless 18V tools will also do a small vacuum cleaner for a similar price.
We have a Challenger 530 - having moved on from a smaller 2 berth. The side diner is really useful & the extra acres of space around the kitchen makes it really comfortable to live in. Most importantly, SWMBO is really happy with it. We've spent a calendar month away in it, & any worries we might have had about choosing this layout vanished very quickly.
Chances of someone, who tows a boat on a trailer, reading a forum called "Caravan Talk"? Not too high.
On re-reading, I think you're right about that. Low down in the middle of the car is a good place to stow weighty items, even though I'm not too sure what would happen to it in the event of a crash.
If the van's spare wheel lives in the "empty spare footwell of the car" Where does the car's spare wheel live?
Toddler! Date of Birth: 1st April 1900.
Thanks for that. There's a list of questions which _must_ be answered, & I do dislike being forced to hand over personal details - especially when it looks like it's marketing who want to know everything about you.
We've put down a deposit on a new Challenger & I thought it would be a good idea to join Swift Talk. I wanted to read what owners of Swift vans liked and disliked about their vans, where snags can be found & if there are any common defects or problems. (Yes I can & do read what's posted here, but a dedicated forum might also be useful) Only, I can't. If you try to join Swift Talk there's a question you must answer before you're allowed to open an account. Caravan VIN - I don't have one & probably won't for a couple of months. I would like to raise this as a question on Swift Talk - but, obviously, I can't do that because. .. Can anyone on here, who is also in Swift Talk, take this up with them?
The OP didn't say they _had_ to find a new insurer. The only time you will find out how good your insurance is, is when you need to make a claim. Clearly they made a claim & were pretty unhappy with the result.
Different answers for different people in different situations. As our van is kept a few miles away, I bring the battery home & store it over the winter.
I had a Kojak a few years back. One month after the warranty ended, the hydraulic seals started to leak a bit - & then failed altogether. Purpleline didn't offer any repair, replacement or even advice on the problem.
For as far as I knew, only a handful of adults would bother to greet him and made efforts to talk to him. At which point, Old Man Red would reply abruptly and gruffly, before turning away as if he didn’t welcome the attention or courtesy.
I did wonder though, how he came to be called ‘Red’ since nothing about the old man came remotely close to being anything of bright color, or any color for that matter.
Everything about him was dark and somber. A ‘gothic relic’, one of my friends once called him when she was visiting with me.
“What do you know about being a gothic? You’re ten! Come to think of it, what do you know of relics?!” my older brother sassed with the smug look of a know-it-all.
Yes, I have a brother. Lots of male cousins too, for that matter. They were nuisances, and still are. I say that fondly. My sisters were alright. Anyway, I digress as I am wont to do.
My brother would have said something back, probably totally inappropriate, but my mom overheard us and interjected. She told us not to call anyone ‘creepy’, then she chased us out of the house to go be underfoot elsewhere.
My friend was right about one thing though, Old Man Red was strange.
If anything, my curiosity burnt within me to know the story of this man. I found myself asking questions, such as, What is his real name? How old is he? Is he as alone in this world as he seemed to be? Is there no wife? Does he have children or relatives somewhere?
And for as long as he had practically been a familiar albeit unfriendly hermit to the people in my hometown, I wondered, Who took care of his needs, and how did he survive?
Ten years old, and I already possessed a very curious mind. It would be to my advantage when I am older and wanted to write about drama and life, but back then it just gave me headaches and wild imaginations.
The questions of Old Man Red’s survival and continued existence was of paramount concern to me, admittedly not because I cared about him all that much since I didn’t know him, but more because I was naturally curious and mysteries had always attracted me.
Alone, but is he lonely? Did he know what people were saying about him behind his back? Did he know of the persistent whispers around him when he made his rare visits to town and when people he encountered quite obviously made a wide detour around him, but stayed near enough to stare and gawk, not to mention gossip? How did he feel, knowing children were quite certainly afraid of him, and most adults stayed out of his way?
I admit that as a child, I had this fear, when all I heard told of this man was the same tale other children heard from adults around them, that Old Man Red was so called and looked the way he did, because he was actually a monster in disguise.

The camera lens is a seemingly infinite architectural space capable of miniaturizing a world into a rectangular box and, when controlled correctly, that space offers a corresponding infinitum of texture and detail to its chosen subject. Recognized as a technical master of this medium, Candida Höfer rhymes the vastness of “real” architectural spaces with those provided by the mechanical apparatus itself to create stark portraits of (mostly uninhabited) spaces generally devoid of any vestige of the personal or anecdotal. Höfer’s "Colored Wood", 2017, is no exception in its technical virtuosity – the artist having framed the background and foreground in such claustrophobic proximity as to have effectively collapsed the distinction between the two. And yet this is a rare piece in Höfer’s oeuvre as it captures not a sweeping interior view, but rather an intimate detail thereof. The “colored wood” that is the work’s putative referent appears vertically across the plane of the print, building a syntax of painterly strokes: light blues, crimsons, a pea green, and finally, 70s-era glossy burnt umber wood. Between these vertical bands, a hazy reticulation unites the visual field. And here, the light seems to emerge from within the flat pictorial space rather than from somewhere outside the frame. At further remove, there is the faint outline of a window, and beside it, perhaps a table or graphic emblem, though it is impossible to say for sure. This is because all of Höfer’s usual grammar of spatial recession has been inverted in this work, giving us a penetrating exploration of the infinite layers of real and illusory depth that comprise the inscrutable photographic surface.

My father in law Charlie was prescribed Clopidogrel on May 2, 2014.
He was in turn taken to Pittsburgh hospital in July 30, 2014 with bleeding on the brain, as diagnosed by a neurosurgeon. The doctor placed him in hospice because he could not fix the issue. Charlie died on February 13, 2015. The cause of death listed on his death certificate is subdural hemorrhage.
The only lawsuits I have seen relating to this issue are for Plavix, not Clopidogrel which is the generic brand. Are there any lawyers taking Clopidogrel lawsuits? What would I have to do to bring a case for this? Thank you.
Clopidogrel bisulfate, or its generic brand name Plavix, is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The drug was approved in 1997 for prevention of blood clots and to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
While the manufacturer claimed Plavix worked better than aspirin, recent studies have shown that Plavix carries no significant benefit over the much cheaper aspirin.
There are currently several class actions in litigation. It appears they are not accepting victims in class actions against Bristol-Myers Squibb regarding the side effects of Clopidogrel bisulfate.
Go online and search on class actions for Clopidogrel bisulfate. You will find a good number of law firms representing victims of the side effects of Clopidogrel bisulfate in class actions and product liability claims. Feel free to contact those firms for further information.
My father passed away June 2016. A TIA incident brought us to our nearest hospital. There, the nurse recommended Plavix. Not even three months later he had a massive brain hemorrhage. He died from plavix being in his system before he passed away a week later.
I read that if he took aspirin with it, which I believe he did for the headache, it increases the chance of bleeding even further. They never went over that, at least not with me in the room.
This stuff really shouldn’t be on the market, it does not help anyone no mater how great the thought is. It’s only a great way to kill your family. Hospitals have Total lack of understanding of the use of this drug. Do not take this stuff lightly.
I don’t know if I can sue them and the hospital since its been two/three years, but if its possible I will. Even if it doesn’t bring back my dad. I want to fight them so at least he wouldn’t have died in vain, for my family and for others.
I had a heart attack in April 2017 and was put on a generic of Plavix. I was supposed to take it for a whole year but 2 months ago I got a letter in the mail stating the generic for Plavix (the pill I was taking) was on recall. Now I am looking for a lawyer to tell me what I should do because the whole time I was taking this medicine it wasn’t helping me. I’m still having trouble breathing and I have this rash all over my body. I don’t know what to do but I’m about to contact a lawyer.
I am so sorry about your husband’s death. Thank you very much for giving out this very important information about ‘the court ruling’. Only after I read your write up I understood why, not a single law firm is willing to go after these drug manufactures, and why they are dropping the cases.
With all the death and side effect incidents with this drug, FDA is claiming that ‘enough’ victims or doctors are not reporting the adverse effect to FDA so they could not recall it! The ‘number of victims’ report is their base for recall! Did you get a chance to report it to FDA? You could do it online FDA.GOV. Or call 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332) and speak to a person.
My husband was bruising all over his body, cardiologists said that is the side effect of clopidogrel and got a bleeding stroke in April of 2016, followed by seizures and complications from that. Fortunately, he is still alive, could not drive, quality of life completely changed, 72 year old need to be taken care of like a seven year old. Now that FDA has the authority over this drug, there is something we could do, thus our loss will not be in vein.
We need to write to the FDA administrator, with cc to the white house, the justice department who did the ruling, the house appropriation committee chair who is funding the FDA, the senators and the congressmen/women of our states. There are a lot of victims not able to do anything about it legally, however, collectively we could do a lot about it. If I could save one family from going through the suffering, I will be happy. Please communicate with me if you could.
My husband died as a result of taking Plavix following a TIA he had in January of 2012. For 6 months he took Plavix and when it came off patent in May, 2012 he was given the generic called Clopidogrel for 3 more years.
Many of the side effects of Plavix, or the generic drug, presented in my husband, but were attributed to his existing disease, NASH – nonalcoholic cirrhosis of the liver.
During the time he was on this medication he had nose bleeds, bleeding in his mouth, and constant bruising. When he had a cerebral hemorrhage and a gastro-intestinal bleed, doctors could not figure out what was happening.
After his death in December of 2015, I proceeded to do some research on my own. Major side effects from these drugs are cerebral hemorrhages, gastro-intestinal bleeds, nose bleeds, gum bleeds, blood bruising and bone marrow disorder.
It was this last side effect that ultimately killed my husband. He developed a bone marrow disorder which led to AML leukemia. He died from this leukemia.
In my research I have read so many accounts of people who had been prescribed Plavix and were later diagnosed with AML leukemia. Obviously, not a coincidence. It would appear to be a direct result of taking these drugs.
Due to the ruling by the Supreme Court Justices which stated that all generic drugs and their manufacturers, some 80% of all drugs consumed in the United States, are exempt from liability for side effects, mislabeling, or virtually any other negative reactions caused by their drugs.
In short, the Court ruled that the FDA has ultimate authority over pharmaceuticals in the US, and if the FDA says a drug is safe, that takes precedent over actual facts, real victims and any and all adverse reactions.
