Nicki Minaj is going from music to TV to live-action film.
The rapper/singer/"American Idol" judge is in final talks to join a Cameron Diaz comedy called "The Other Woman," according to The Hollywood Reporter. As the title suggests, Diaz plays a woman in a relationship who discovers that she's actually the mistress.
Leslie Mann plays the wife whose husband ("Game of Thrones'" Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is two-timing both ladies, and Mann's character teams up with Diaz's to get revenge.
It gets messier: Kate Upton plays the husband's other lover, and her character soon joins in on the plot to get back at him.
Minaj will portray Diaz's "opinionated assistant," who's on her third marriage herself.
While it's the star's first live-action film role, she has appeared in a movie before: she voiced Steffie in "Ice Age: Continental Drift."
"The Notebook" helmer Nick Cassavetes is directing "The Other Woman," which expects to begin filming in New York in late spring/early summer.

|Tyler Chatwood has the Rockies contending.
On Sunday, as the Rockies held on to a 4-3 victory, Chatwood continued his impressive, and frankly, dominate season. He gave up two runs--one earned-- in six innings worth of work. He gave up seven hits in the six frames along with four walks and two strikeouts.
Usually when a pitcher allows 11 base runners in six innings of work, they give up more than one earned run. However, the fact that Chatwood wasn't perfect speaks to how good he has become in such a short period of time.
In the 1st inning, Chatwood gave up back-to-back singles to Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo. With one out, Alfonso Soriano hit a slow roller to short that moved the runners to second and third base with two outs. Chatwood then walked Nate Schierholz, loading the bases and making things look like they could get ugly for the Rockies early.
The typical young starting pitcher, one who has never been on an Opening Day roster, and one who bounced between the minors and the big leagues in his first two seasons, would often times fold. The situation that Chatwood found himself in would usually result in a big inning. Instead, the Rockies 23-year-old got Cubs outfielder Junior Lake to swing and miss at a 95 MPH fastball.
Chatwood settled in after the 21-pitch 1st inning. He didn't give up a run until Anthony Rizzo led off the 6th with a solo home run. After two singles and an error from Chatwood, Darwin Barney plated the second Cubs run of the day with a sacrifice fly. Chatwood got out of the inning with the inning with the game tied at two, only hoping for his offense to pull through, as his day was done.
Nolan Arenado, mired in a rookie slump, rewarded Chatwood for his efforts on the mound. With two outs and two on, the Rockies third baseman lined a pitch back up the middle and into center field, scoring two runs after Lake launched the throw 20 feet over the plate.
The fact is, despite some early struggles at the plate, and a few extended slumps, there should be no lack of confidence in the type of player that Arenado is going to be at the plate. His .240 batting average doesn't do justice to the type of at-bats he has taken in his first three months in the league. He has shown glimpses of greatness, not only in the field, but at the plate as well. He seems to get big hits when it matters. He doesn't have a lost look at the plate when the pressure is on. He shines in those moments.
With the Rockies still 3-1/2 games out in the National League West, and two of the worst teams in the National League on their way to Denver over the next week, the Rockies are in a situation where they must win. They cannot blow opportunities to gain ground on both the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks in front of them. This homestand is crucial to any chance that the Rockies think they might have to actually take home their first-ever division crown.
In order to stay relevant, to prove that they can be a playoff contending team, they need contributions from their young players. They need guys like Chatwood and Arenado to play above their pay grades and find ways to contribute.
The reality is, both Chatwood and Arenado have given the Rockies far more than anyone could have expected. Without them doing what they have done, this team wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the NL West. The Rockies have received more than they ever could have anticipated from both of those guys, and it is the reason they are winning baseball games.

Milton selectman seat attracts two candidates
Thursday, February 21, 2013
MILTON — Selectman Chair Bob Srnec is stepping down when his term expires in March and two candidates have thrown their hats into the ring for the open position.
Chip Gehres, 66, of Rocky Point Road, moved to Milton in 1991. He has been married to his wife, Barbara since 1987, and they have a daughter who is a U.S. Navy veteran. He ran for selectman in 2012 and in the early 1990s as well.
Gehres graduated from Van Wert High School, in Ohio, in 1964. He attended Purdue and is a graduate of the General Electric Tool and Die Apprentice Program. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1966-68, leaving with a rank of Second Class Ensign. He now works for Ashland Electric Products in Rochester.
A big part of the upcoming work for the selectman, Gehres said, is selecting a new town administrator. He added he would work to hold down taxes.
"If the town approves the fire station, I hope to be part of implementing that, if the town gives a positive vote," he said. "If not I hope to get it going for the future."
Gehres added that he is concerned about the cost of the fire station.

POSTED: Monday, July 22, 2013 - 5:00am
UPDATED: Monday, July 22, 2013 - 5:04am
MEDICAL NEWS (CNN) — More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's today, with another person developing the disease every 68 seconds. By 2050, the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple.
As if those numbers weren't staggering enough, consider this: Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 (it's currently ranked No. 6) in the United States that can't be prevented, cured or slowed down.
Ask any expert, and he or she will tell you early diagnosis is key to helping patients live better day to day, so even though the disease is still progressing, the symptoms are less harsh.
"Our hope is that if we could identify patients who are developing the disease early, it would give us a much better opportunity to intervene with treatments, and it's much more likely for those treatments to be effective," says Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
But while early diagnosis leads to early intervention, some news out of the 2013 Alzheimer's Association International Conference is troubling: An expert panel found 16 online tests for Alzheimer's disease scored poorly on scales of overall scientific validity, reliability and ethical factors.
"As many as 80% of Internet users, including a growing proportion of older adults, seek health information and diagnoses online," says Julie Robillard, who presented the data this week in Boston.
"Self-diagnosis behavior ... is increasingly popular online, and freely accessible quizzes that call themselves 'tests' for Alzheimer's are available on the Internet," she says. "However, little is known about the scientific validity and reliability of these offerings and ethics-related factors, including research and commercial conflict of interest, confidentiality and consent."
"Frankly," Robillard adds, "what we found online was distressing and potentially harmful."
Robillard and her colleagues at the University of British Columbia found that unique monthly visitors for the parent sites hosting the online tests reached as high as 8.8 million.
At the same conference, another study concluded that the misdiagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in Medicare patients who actually have vascular dementia or Parkinson's disease leads to substantial excess costs of care. The study, conducted by Analysis Group, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co., found the costs of unnecessary/incorrect care to be in excess of $14,000 a year per patient .
The silver lining: Those excess costs decline and eventually dissipate following a correct diagnosis.
"Recent developments in technology have greatly improved our ability to properly diagnose patients with cognitive impairment," said Analysis Group's Noam Kirson. "Our results suggest that there are economic benefits to properly diagnosing -- as early as possible -- the cause of the cognitive impairment."
If you suspect a family member or friend is developing Alzheimer's, take a look at these 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's Disease, put together by the Alzheimer's Association:
1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life
2. Challenges in planning or solving problems
3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or at leisure
4. Confusion with time or place
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
6. New problems with words in speaking or writing
7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
8. Decreased or poor judgment
9. Withdrawal from work or social activities
10. Changes in mood and personality
But rather than diagnose Alzheimer's disease at home, head to your doctor's office. You can also find more information at www.alz.org [1], or by calling the Alzheimer's Association's 24-hour hotline at (800) 272-3900.
The importance of early detection and early intervention can't be stressed strongly enough. It could mean added years of lucidity and life for you or someone you love.

Wall Street Journal best-selling author Jon Acuff reveals the steps to getting unstuck and back onto the path of being awesome.
Over the last 100 years, the road to success for most everyone has been divided into predictable stages. But three things have changed the path to success:
While none of the stages can be skipped, they can be shortened and accelerated. There are only two paths in life: average and awesome. The average path is easy because all you have to do is nothing. The awesome path is more challenging, because things like fear only bother you when you do work that matters. The good news is Start gives listeners practical, actionable insights to be more awesome, more often.

"START made me STOP listening fast"
Listening to an audiobook is one of the easiest ways a person can attain information, yet this audiobook somehow managed to make it feel like a chore.I really hoped to hear some useful ways to turn my work and experience into something greater than myself, i.e. "Do work that matters." Unfortunately START was so suffocated by pointless lackluster stories and name dropping that I completely lost track of why I purchased it in the first place (So you were on the news... Am I supposed to care? And what does that have to do with the purpose of this book again?).More importantly, Acuff as the narrator is the worst! His delivery reminds me of that cliche friend we all have, the one who thinks he's absolutely hilarious, reciting movie quotes and poor impressions, and we all just nod and put up with it because we've been friends since childhood. If I wanted a poorly written comedy, I would have purchased something by Tyler Perry. If I wanted adventure stories of an entrepreneur, I would have purchased Richard Branson's memoir. Stripped of all the filler, this book would be a pamphlet long, maybe a few paragraphs, or even just a quote that read, "Do you want to live an average life, or an awesome one?"For a book that claimed to "Punch Fear in the Face!" START delivered like a weak jab that missed the mark.
Turned me off from this genre? No. START's poor performance just made me more wary of my selections in the future. I will ABSOLUTELY listen to a sample reading before purchasing another book of this kind. If I had listened to a sample of START before purchasing, I'd still have $13.95 in my pocket.
I appreciate Acuff's energy, but there's an unearned sense of overconfidence in his voice. If the material or substance was there to back it up, I'd be all for his delivery, I'd even give the tales of his "awesome life" a chance. Instead, I felt like I was listening to a D-list comedian trying to woo an empty night club. Maybe add some canned laughter or crickets in the background? You can use that zinger in your next book Jon.
There were a few nuggets of actual useful material in the book, but really only stemmed from one basic concept: do you want to live an awesome life or average? Unfortunately anything redeeming was buried so deep under a thick gloss of pointless nostalgia and name dropping that I'd lose interest and tune out. I can't tell you how many times Acuff would be submerged in another story about how "awesome" his life is, and I'd think, "What the hell is he talking about? What does this have to do with anything? That really doesn't sound that awesome to me at all." I'm sure Acuff is the coolest/smartest guy he knows. Unfortunately his material isn't.
"full of self serving stories. had to return it"
Not until he grows up a little and has some meaningful experiences to share
He is full of youthful energy. He does share tried and true advice, that is a good refresher. Nothing really earth shattering.
I don't usually write reviews, but this book appears to largely be a personal EGO trip for the author. It is full of self aggrandizing stories of handing out his latest book on a plane, to shopping for makeup before he goes on national TV. There is little depth here... I did appreciate his youthful "I can do anything" energy as he recited old advice I have already garnered from other tried and true authors.
Jon Acuff really vibrant in his reading so it makes it fun to listen to.
I like how he takes the time to head off your concerns with his process and making it fun at the same time.
His animation and passion for this book. You can tell he truly believes what he has written.
I did and was able to complete it in about two days but thats because i was listening to it at work.
A great listen for anyone who feels like they are going nowhere no matter the age.
"It works if you have 10,000 hours"
I don't think so.
Sounded like a punk kid, and nobody wants to take advice from a punk kid.
Very disappointing in that the author states clearly that you can make your dreams come true - maybe - if you only devote 20 hours a week to it for 10 years. He is also very boastful about his accomplishments, which to me is a turn-off. There is nothing but common sense advice in here and again, you should start young, because it is no easy road to achieving your dreams.
"Fun & Funny! Great quick listen, Worth it!"
Yes! It is read by the author Jon Acuff and he is absolutely fun and relatable! I enjoyed every minute I listened to him.
I just finished The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and it was the perfect follow up to that audiobook. They are similar in the sense that you are in control of your own domain, but I learned from Habit why I choose what I choose, and I learned from Start, how to choose what I want to choose. So they compliment each other. Both are a life process and neither is a quick fix to anything. Loved both!
No, but I will now.
Not really, the entire book was worth the listen!
I heard about this book from the EntreLeadership Podcast and am glad I did!
"Same old history.."
The book was not for me, I read a lot of books with the same idea. It gets a time when you are full of this kind of stuff.
If you need some push to start get it, otherwise forget it.
Book nerd for life!
"Just Start Listening!"
It was narrated by the author and he was passionate about the book.
Same as the book
I needed an audiobook that wasn't boring and that would keep my interest. This definitely was it. I was procrastinating reading/listening to this book, and it was everything and more. Loved the enthusiasm (can't beat hearing the author narrate the book), lots of good stories and motivation and tips. I now want to read more of Jon's books. I'm officially punching fear in the face and starting!
"Most Accessible Self-Development Book I've Read"
Motivational, Fun, Accessible
Jon Acuff is an AMAZING speaker and this is one of the best audiobook narrations I've ever heard. I imagine the book is great in print as well, but the way Jon tells stories is very engaging. Nothing about his speaking voice is dull.
I've read dozens of self-development books and this one is definitely at the top of the list (my other fav's would be How to Win Friends and Influence Others and Unstuff Your Life). There was not a single dull moment in this book, and even though it is directed at any age group, I feel like it is especially accessible and inspiring for younger people (20s, 30s). I wish I had read this book years ago! (if it had existed... which it didn't)
Is it just me?
"Central Park"
I began listening to this with every expectation of hating it. I fall for titles that sound like they're going to change whatever is wrong with me. Then I read the book and find everything wrong with the book and leave it with no change to my issues, except feeling superior to whatever idiot tried to impart some insight and failed...at least for someone like me.
This book came into my life at the perfect time. I won't spill all of the inspiration and GREAT advice that I now will work to build into my path forward...my move toward finally attempting to do with my life what I've always wanted to and realized at 40 that I was stacking years behind with no movement toward who I thought I would be long before now. But I will tell you that this book is one in dozens, maybe hundreds, that hit my sweet spot. Read it. Hopefully, like me, you'll find something to help you get started too.
I was tempted to write a 3 star review...once you read it, you'll know why. I just want the author to know that I am grateful for this book.
"LOL on the One Star Reviews"
Great Stories. I like the part about growing a crazy beard and collecting cats.
Awesome professional speaker, great reader by default.
Great concepts throughout. Critics Math was helpful. I also enjoyed the honesty transparency with things like the story about his honeymoon and wanting to make life long friends LOL. Reminds me to be careful with ideas and expectations.
I also found great insights in understanding ideas / emotions that come along with success that can throw one off track, and even how one can actually sabatoge their own success because of supressed fear. Rang true for me and I'm thankful for what I learned from this book.
"Woah slow down!!"
Authors are not always the best people to narrate their own books. Fact. Here is a case in point. Maybe the paperback's really good, I don't know. But the audiobook is so rushed that it's almost impossible to get anything from it. The author / narrator starts off by telling you how each section is supposed to have action points and questions for you to go through to put his pearls of wisdom into practice. But he felt that it ruined the "flow" of his narration, so he's left all that stuff to the end. Listen to the whole thing first, then take action.
In doing so he's totally missed the point of how people use this kind of book. He whizzes through the book at such a pace, without pausing, that you can't actually take it all in anyway. Then if/when you do stick it out all the way to the end, he does the exact same thing with the action points and questions. Problem is that they're not put into context, so when he says something profound like "write a paragraph describing your secret self" you're thinking... "wait... what exactly is my secret self again?". Except if you're anything like me you really can't bring yourself to go back hunting through the audio to find out.
Add to that the super-helpful advice to "punch fear in the face". Well that's all very well but seriously, deeply ingrained personal fears about oneself do not, in practice, simply bugger off because you metaphorically punched them! I suspect that many people who click the "buy" button for this book will be left thinking "well how the heck do I do that?". Listen to Stephen Covey, Brian Tracey et al. Different ball park altogether.
I had high hopes for this book but it fell way short of the mark. I might even ask for my money back. Sorry & all that but very disappointing.
"great read"
struck in a rut? going round in circles? Get Start and you will get started.

Particle Tracing in a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
Model ID: 10653
The principle component of a quadrupole mass spectrometer is the mass filter which is used to filter ions with different charge to mass ratios. The quadrupole mass filter has been well studied over the years, Ref. 1 and the physics and optimal design are well understood. In a real quadrupole mass spectrometer, fringe fields exist at both the entrance and exit of the mass filter. These fringe fields can play an important role in determining the transmission probability of a specific ion through the mass filter. This model computes the ion trajectories in a quadrupole mass spectrometer, including the effects of fringe fields. This model uses the Electrostatics, Electric Currents, and Charged Particle Tracing interfaces.

Since this is a holiday I think perhaps IŌĆÖll let technology rest a week or so and use this space to talk about what makes Thanksgiving great ŌĆ".. SPORTS!
Well ŌĆ" that may be cheating just a bit (grin). Many years ago when I was a student at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro the Indians were a football power in their league. The Indians has Bill Bergey as quarterback and he helped put quite a few points on the scoreboard and made the Tribe one of the most respected teams in the Southland Conference.
By Lynda Hollenbeck
Holidays and catastrophes seem to walk hand in hand. When else does everything go as far awry as it does when you're in a hurry, behind with the meal and guests are about to stare you in the eye?
The other day we were sharing accounts of our Thanksgiving horror moments and I, of course, could not resist reviewing the crisis that occurred at our house a number of Thanksgivings ago.
The incident has appeared in this space before, but it just is hard to top, so here it goes one more time. (And maybe another later on. After all, it is my column.)
By Alma Joyce Hahn
It is funny how simple things we take for granted can have a rather interesting history if we just knew it. For example, the other day I was thinking of all the tasks our family used to do in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner. My job was usually to polish the silver. To relieve the drudgery, I used to wonder about who thought up the designs for the pieces of tableware. Not long ago I finally got around to looking it up. It is kind of interesting.
Is it possible to be thankful and guarded at the same time? In today's multi-tasking society I suppose it is possible, but is it practical? Wise? Healthful? In my opinion, the answer to each is a resounding no.
Being thankful requires an open-heart and a grateful perspective, neither of which can be maintained under the strain of negativity.
Being thankful requires the ability and desire to see the good in all things, even when the temptation to focus on the evil is compelling and familiar.
By J.T. Johnson
ŌĆ£LincolnŌĆØ is not a movie about the legend of the president who freed the slaves. Instead, it is a real interpretation of events and it takes a look at a man that struggled to pass the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery. It looks at a man who had obscure war powers which allowed him to bend the rules of law. It is also about a man who had to contend with his emotionally unstable wife, had to contend with a Congress that was not on his side and a man who also had a penchant for telling stories.
I don't remember what I was doing or where I was, but I do know what was said: In a conversation involving several people, someone recently said she had heard that the fashion industry planned to revive fashions of the 1970s.
Deliver me from this happening, please.
Fashions do make their entrance, bow out and return in another decade, but the '70s? Clothes were ugly then.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, just look at retro TV shows and you'll understand.
We're talking polyester. Leisure suits. Wide-legged jeans. Colors that make you gag.
Many times I've sat in the stands at C.W. Lewis Stadium and heard the Benton High School Band play the "Pink Panther" theme.
The tune is familiar to just about everyone, particularly to fans of the bumbling French detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau.
First, some history about the Pink Panther film series and the famous theme song.
By Brent Davis
Recently, I took the opportunity to watch the sun rise. I sat in the gazebo on the Saline County Courthouse lawn. No traffic filled the streets. An occasional runner would pass by, headphones on and feet pounding the sidewalk. A slight glow began to appear on the horizon to the east. Light invaded the cracks and crevices of the morning and, to my surprise, I found I was not alone as previously I had thought.
I don't like Daylight Saving Time. I never have and I doubt if I ever will.
It's not that I have specific objections to that particular time process ŌĆö or that I especially favor Central Standard Time, the time zone that we live in.
What I don't like is being forced to change times. To me, 4 o'clock is 4 o'clock even if the clock says it's 3 or 5; I still feel it as 4. My internal clock doesn't move in conjunction with the hands on a timepiece.
Deep in the tunnels of a dark Kentucky coal mine in 1917, a man of 19 years was pinned between a loaded coal car and the cold rock wall. Fearing death would take him, Henry Harrison Mayes prayed to God to save his life. In exchange, Mayes would commit the rest of his life to spreading the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. His life was spared. It was now time to keep the promise he had made.

Cambodia is rising out of a history marred by conflict and unrest. For the past two decades Cambodia has experienced rapid economic growth. However, despite strong growth, poverty remains a fundamental issue for the country with a majority of the population living on less than $2 a day.
Cambodia in context
Along its path to overcoming poverty, Cambodia faces a wide range of challenges. The country is heavily dependent on overseas development assistance with foreign aid amounting to about half of the government's annual budget.
The main drivers of the economy, agriculture, the garment industry, tourism and construction have provided increasing revenues for the country. However with the youngest population in Southeast Asia – 50% are younger than 25 years of age – there is a lack of productive skills and inadequate employment for the current and emerging workforce. The result is that many struggle to make a living with the effects particularly pronounced for women and those living in rural areas.
The majority of Cambodians live in the countryside with 85% of the population largely dependent on small-scale agriculture, fishery and forestry assets for their livelihoods.
With Cambodia now firmly in the tourism and development spotlight, careful planning and regulation of these activities will be important to avoid negative impact to the environment and the natural resources on which many people depend.
Oxfam in Cambodia
Oxfam has been working in Cambodia for more than 30 years and we're committed to ensuring that this culturally rich and inspiring country works its way out of poverty.
Oxfam was among the first group of NGO's to provide aid to Cambodia after the collapse of the Khmer Rouge in 1979. Over the years, we have teamed with local partners, community groups and government across all 24 provinces. We work with partners on the promotion and protection of human rights, women's economic empowerment, building community micro-finance institutions, responsible management of natural resources, and disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change.
The focus of our work in Cambodia is on:
- Economic Justice: Helping Cambodian poor women and men secure and improve their livelihoods.
- Rights in Crisis: Supporting vulnerable communities - especially women - to be resilient to disasters and empowered to recognize, claim, and uphold their rights to life and security.
- Gender Justice: Helping women gain power over their lives and live free from violence.

Heifer knows that ending world hunger and poverty is a massive undertaking. But Heifer also knows that evidence-based strategies and strong alliances make it possible. Our nearly 70 years of experience in more than 125 countries has shown that working directly with communities to identify their needs, assets and goals, and providing them with appropriate training, livestock and organizational capacity, yields long-lasting change at all levels.
Emphasizing community involvement distinguishes Heifer's work from that of global relief organizations. When Heifer steps in, communities are provided with a values-based planning and management model to guide their development projects.
This model has its foundation in Heifer's 12 Cornerstones for Just and Sustainable Development. The Cornerstones stimulate group wisdom and personal insights, and they keep the group's actions balanced, focused and productive. The model is highly participatory and emphasizes:
- Local ownership of the decision-making process
- Commitment of local resources
- Participation of all people regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion
- Inclusion of traditional, indigenous knowledge
- Understanding that community development is a process
Heifer also has found that other organizations around the world want to partner with us in a global network to help further our mission. Notably, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports Heifer in implementing the East Africa Dairy Development Project, which helps rural farmers in East Africa double their incomes by increasing their production of high quality raw milk to sell to dairies.

Neat little device, works as advertized, no problem with shipping, overall good purchase.
This is a great product...allows partner and me to charge phones at the same time or a phone and an ipod. Anything that requires a usb. The only thing I would have liked is if it came or O carried usb cables . I don' t want to remove mine and take to the car so I bought separately two extras. Well worth it. Great idea!
This is a very well made item and it provides all the connection I need. The LED light is a nice plus. Nice addition to my electronics.
This 12volt usb charger will work as expected. Plug into your auto's 12v socket/plug in the usb cord to the device you wish to power. Nothing else to say other than I wonder what the life expectancy will be?
I bought this to be able to keep my MP3 player charged in the car. We like to listen to audiobooks while traveling. So far it is doing what it was made for. I can also charge my phone with it.
Works much better than phone specific car chargers. The device is always plugged in and uses the same cord from the AC charger. I can charge my MP3 player at the same time because it has 2 ports.
Keep it on my car because is 10 years old and I don't have a USB port. Easily can charge 2 at the time.
Great item!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes for the price its good cannot go wrong works perfect received timely and no complains
Great for travel as you can easily insert and remove it in vehicles and then can hook up more than one device.

Powerbocking: jump like a kangaroo, run like a gazelle & stride like a giant
Powerbocks make great feats of athleticism easily achievable (Photo: pro-jump.co.uk)
Article Summary
They're enough to fulfill anyone's dreams of bionic powers: jump six feet in the air (and over cars, if you're in the mood), run at 25 miles an hour or more, and stride nine feet at a time. But, instead of costing Six Million Dollars, you can invest in a pair of "powerbocks" for just a couple of hundred. A cross between stilts and a pogo stick that harnesses energy in the same way as a trampoline, a set of Powerbocks will not only make you part of a sport that can help you lose weight, build strength and reduce cholesterol, but you'll also be drawn into a craze that's swept the world from Korea to Canada.

Wildcats can't look past Friars
Friday, January 18, 2013
DURHAM — After last weekend's ego-boosting win over defending national champion Boston College, the University of New Hampshire hockey team didn't have to look far to stay grounded.
The Friars haven't beaten UNH in almost six years and haven't won at the Whitt in nearly nine.
Now they'll try to build on the quality win against a Providence squad (9-9-3, 7-5-2 HE) that swept a home-and-home series from Massachusetts last weekend to snap a five-game winless stretch (0-3-2).
DeSmith has a 3-0 record with a .095 goals-against average and a .970 save percentage in three career starts against Providence, all last season.
He's been practicing this week with a cast on his surgically repaired broken hand.
