Soak Up the Sun: The Benefits of Solar, Portable USB Chargers

Solar USB chargers are electronic devices that provide energy for your mobile phone, laptop, mp3, and other electronics. Solar chargers can connect via a USB port on your laptop or by way of a plug-in AC adapter, but they can also charge by their presence in the sunlight. Since they are solar, the weather (the sun) can play a role in reenergizing your charger so as to provide the needed energy for your electronic devices. There are a few benefits that solar, portable USB chargers provide-benefits that make them an accessory that you cannot leave home without.One benefit of solar, portable USB chargers is that they can be carried with you on the go (portability). Many individuals like to travel and cannot predict when the batteries in their devices will die or lose a large amount of power. In those situations, individuals need to have something outside of batteries (which they may not have, particularly in camping situations) by which they can still garner an energy supply. Solar, portable USB chargers provide another way to do that through a laptop or computer USB port. Laptops are also portable devices, making them a perfect source of energy for a USB charger when you are in itinerant circumstances.Another benefit of solar, portable USB chargers is that they are USB chargers. USB chargers can be energized by way of your laptop's USB port, making them convenient to carry (as is your laptop) when you are out of town or on a mountain bike adventure. Now that summer is here, the last thing you want to do when out of town is to be forced to reside in a hotel or a relative's home while your device is charging. After all, the mountains are gorgeous; the Grand Canyon is as wonderful as ever with the sun shining down and the blue sky and clouds in their respective places. The view is gorgeous this time of year, and you do not want your charging needs to interfere with all the outdoor fun you can experience.Next, the portable solar powered charger is beneficial because it can be charged via solar energy. As mentioned above, you do not want to force yourself to stay indoors this summer when the weather is so nice. With a solar powered device charger, you can head outdoors and take your energy source with you! It can sit in the sun for a time and regain some of its energy (around 50%) so that you can use it to charge your other devices that could lose energy and die at any moment. You want to plan for surprises, though you may not be able to plan for them all-such as a bear coming out of the woods to visit you and your family! Solar-powered devices are perfect for outdoor adventures and long, extended trips.A portable solar USB charger also saves money. When you are at home and your battery dies, your Android solar charger will power your Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone in no time while also saving you money on your electricity bill. If you take your Samsung S II outside a few days a week and recharge it via solar power, you can save $20-$30 or more a month on your electricity bill. You will soon wish that all your appliances were solar powered!Better still is a solar charger that not only comes with all the above benefits, but also has a solar power backup battery. In case your charger dies, there is always a rechargeable backup battery to empower your solar charger to continue charging your various electronic devices. Having twice the energy power will enable you to have twice the fun on your outdoor travels as you talk on your iPhone 4s, surf the Web on your laptop or the new iPad, connect your iPod Touch 4G to your new, fifteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, and connect with friends by way of Facebook or Google+ on the iOS 6 or Android OS platforms. When you combine solar energy, portability, and convenience with an external USB backup battery, you have a combination that is hard to beat.

Personal Color Analysis - Where Does Skin Tone Fit In?

It has been 30 years since the blockbuster book, Color Me Beautiful, come on the scene with its system for categorizing colors by season. At the time women, and many men, flocked to have a personal color analysis done. There was great excitement about the prospect of finally discovering what one's best, most flattering colors to wear were. Initially, the seasonal analysis concept was accepted without question. It had answers, and we wanted answers. We were ready to have fun with our colors.As time wore on, and many thousands of people were being tested, it was discovered that about 70% of those analyzed were not finding a good match within any of the four seasonal categories. The personal color analysis approach was then expanded into a twelve category system. Many people were then able to settle on a group of colors that seemed to suit them very well...and many were not. If you go online to personal color analysis forums, you will discover a great deal of chat about the issue. A few are quite satisfied that they have workable answers to their personal color analysis needs. A great many, however, continue to be frustrated by the seeming absence of a definitive answer to their questions.No matter what, there are three colors that anyone can always count on being correct for them. Those three colors are your natural hair color, your natural eye color, and your skin tone. Hair and eye colors make wonderful neutrals for establishing a basic wardrobe. Skin tone is the exception.Rather than make assumptions about a skin tone, it is always best to identify it exactly. It makes sense to perform a stripe test with liquid foundation on one's jaw and neck until an exact match is identified. Then it can be very useful to match that foundation color with a color card from the paint department of a store. The card will come in very handy as an occasional reference for purchases.Once your skin tone color is identified, or even if you prefer to simply look at your arm to determine the color, you may feel free to use this color for a very sophisticated accent with any of your other wardrobe colors. Just a little skin tone color goes a long way. Because this color in a fabric or accessory is repeating the color of your skin, it will be very noticeable to the eye.You won't want to overdo it. Like a male customer recently said, "Some of these browns are quite close to my skin tone, so I'm wondering if they are best worn as jackets or away from the face...wearing that color would make me appear naked. Talk about slipping into something more comfortable. LOL." He's correct in his assumption. Your skin tone color will serve you best if you wear just touches of the color in your ensemble. It would look nice as one of the colors in a print fabric, for instance. You may always add your skin tone color to others identified through a good personal color analysis.

Stop Picking Up Dimes! It's Killing Your Fitness Results

I am tired of seeing people drop a dime, bend over to pick it up, while doing so, a hundred falls straight out of their back pocket.Obviously, the dime is not important in and of itself; but in this example, it has a cost of $99.90. I use this metaphor often in the description of people who are continually focusing on the wrong things. You have $100 in your pocket, take care of it. Best case, you invest it and it grows; worst case, you at least put it in the bank and keep it safe. And you sure as heck don't walk around haphazardly with it hanging out of your trousers. What do I mean by this? Well the premise is simple; sticking with the execution is not.You have fitness goals, remember the ones you made in earnest shortly after the leftover turkey was gone from the fridge and a new calendar came in the mail from your favourite real estate agent? Yah those ones. I am hoping you haven't been walking around the gym picking up dimes....Owning a fitness business and being a fitness coach I have spent many hours in the gym. I see all types, it's in part, what makes my job so cool. Now I realize that in a facility many people are coming in for different reasons. All that being considered, we still want our time to be invested well and to see a result. Sound familiar, yeah the amazing financial advice I just gave relates to your fitness goals. It's time to wise up, your time, just like your investments, are valuable. Are you picking up dimes?Q: What are dimes? nope.A: Anything that takes your concentration off of your fitness goal. Remember you were headed to the bank with that $100. Don't get sidetracked.Fitness information is so abound right now that new terms are even being coined for the condition such as 'Exercise ADD' or 'Program Hopping' or even 'Muscle Confusion' These situations arise out of an overload of potential options. We field questions very regularly that usually begin with 'Hey, what do you think about.....". Generally this is a question about a new program that has arisen on the interwebz or in a popular rag on how to shed 13 lbs in 13 hours or add 4 inches to your biceps in 4 days. What this inevitably leads to is a person bouncing from exercise to exercise, program to program picking and choosing movements and equipment that they like and doing it without any respect given to a long term individualized goal or plan. You are coming to the gym for a result; lose 10 lbs before the summer solstice, gain 5 lbs of lean mass to make the team or even to fit you 'skinny' jeans. This pick and choose attitude is simply an ineffective and inefficient way to get there. Trial and error is not even a good way to describe this mentality; the reason is trial and error implies that once an erroneous or ineffective way is discovered it is discarded. Yet in this bounce around method there is no way to know what is effective or not and poor, potentially useless things are repeated; talk about a waste of time.Let's use a different illustration to wrap our minds around this. Mice. Small, annoying, kind of gross but basically harmless little rodents. We don't want them around and there any number of solutions to get rid of them. Deterrents (mothballs), traps (sticky or WHAM!), poison, a cat, and last resort - exterminator. We go through a trial and error process in their eradication. Deterrents don't work....move on. Sticky traps don't work; fine, move to a cat. Lazy cat doesn't produce. Finally after 4-5 trial and errors, in come the big guns and the exterminator does the job right.My point here is that trial and error for things that are not your body are fine and really the effect is generally superficial, only costing time. But seriously, when you are dealing with the only body you have been given for this life, why on earth would you resort to blind trial and error from sources that are extremely questionable at best. You hire the pros for the measly mice, a professional fixes the leak in your roof, he fills your prescription at the pharmacy etc, you get the picture. These people are not guessing. They know what works the most efficiently and they get it done. I think I am starting to show some clarity here as this stab in the dark mentality when it comes to body composition changes needs to stop.My point through all of this is do not keep stabbing in the dark by jumping around from program to program, (picking up dimes) fad to fad hoping something sticks. If you do a DIY on your roof and it leaks again, you can't complain, you did it yourself! Having a hard time catching the mouse? Hire a pro.A client recently asked one of the "Hey what do you think about this program" type questions and my response before giving my opinion was simple. Did that advice come from someone who is qualified and relies on the result to feed his/her family? If not, re-think the source. This isn't how to get a few more horsepower out of your car or tree pruning tips, this you body, take it seriously. Your body is worth too much. At Coastal Fitness we know what works. Your program is laid out in a fashion that has a long term goal orientated purpose, each workout builds off the last, you will be excited by the results! Stop picking up dimes!

Hubble Space Telescope-Seeing Beyond the Milky Way

The Hubble Space Telescope has allowed scientists and the rest of the world a look into outer space that was not even imagined one hundred years ago. In fact, it is only in the last one hundred years that it was discovered that there are millions of galaxies beyond ours and that the universe is constantly expanding. Since its launch in 1990 this telescope has been an invaluable source of information to astronomers and scientists throughout the world. As the Hubble Space Telescope orbits its way around the earth once every 95 minutes, it continues to gather more knowledge about not only our galaxy but the ones beyond as well.A timeline of Hubble Space Telescope History:1924--Edwin Hubble looked up into the night sky to disprove the theory of a single galaxy. He proved that rather than just gasses and dust, the universe was filled with other galaxies. He was the first to prove that our universe was continuing to grow and expand. However, he did not have the benefit of the tools we have available today, so his knowledge was still somewhat limited although his vision was far-reaching.1924-1983--the concept of a Large Space Telescope (LST) was conceived, designed, revised and developed and implemented. In 1985, the LST was renamed the Hubble Space Telescope, to honor the man who started it all.1990--After delays with its launch due to conflicts with the launch of the space shuttle, the Hubble Space Telescope was sent into orbit.1994--the telescope took pictures of a comet collision, and detailed photos of Pluto, as well as giving us a greater knowledge of Neptune and Uranus.1995--the Hubble took pictures of the "birth" of a star as it developed from interstellar clouds.1996--Photos from the Hubble Space Telescope show that quasars are actually nuclei which illuminate when a black hole uses energies from surrounding gases and stars.1997--The Hubble takes pictures which prove that black holes are bigger than the sun.1998--The most detailed pictures of the planets in our solar system are taken.2004--The Hubble Space Telescope was able to document in pictures how, when, and why stars die and using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field technology, to take pictures of the expanding universe unlike any that had previously been taken. It also took pictures of Mars when it was closer to Earth than it had been in 60,000 years.2005--Took pictures of a comet with a projected piece of equipment from the Hubble Space Telescope.Future Developments--The Hubble Space Telescope's mission is scheduled to end with this decade. Astronauts will go up, make repairs and assess the future usefulness of this tool in deep space discovery and a decision will be made about whether it should be discontinued or remain in service. But, no matter what decision is made, this telescope has been an amazing resource for a broader understanding of space and its limitless possibilities. Thank you, Mr. Hubble.
