* Prices may differ from that shown
I purchases these as a replacements for some beats headphones and can honestly say I didn't notice any particularly large difference in sound quality. It remains very clear and not a lot escapes to the surrounding area as is a common problem I find for many earphones around especially with many phone specific brands earphones.
The only problem I had with it was the ear buds themselves as they have the strange plastic layer which is folded which although is comfortable I find occasionally rubs against the inside of my ear before falling out due to the weird size and lack of grip to my ear. However, I only encountered this problem when on the move.
Another strong point of the ear phones is the wires which has a vary hard exterior in comparison to other ear phones which I feel will protect the inner wiring making it very unlikely that they will be damaged and break. Too add to this the wires are long which makes them better for the longer-torsoed of us when wearing them and makes them allow us to keep our phone further away from us when near water. The price makes these earphones all the more perfect as I paid around £12 comparing that with the £25 may people pay for the substandard apple earphones I feel like I have got a bit of a bargain and a very good value for the money I paid and I would say you won't be disappointed if you too bought these.
These headphones are perfect just to listen to music of your phone I have had some problems with the ear buds falling off but they can easily put back on. The ear buds are slightly tiled for maximum comfort the ear buds stick right out of your head so they are not slanted. These earphones are the best sounding earphones I have ever used the sound quality is nice and crisp with a good amount of bass but not too much to make it muddy. The headphones also are quite long so they stick out of your head a bit too much they are black with a red stripe they also have an XX which makes them look cool.The earphones have a really nice long red cable. These earphones are nicely packaged and come with a hard case and different sized ear buds for the people with different sized ear. In overview these earphones are amazing in every category and there under £10
Oh the XX's. They look really dope well just for me it has a lot of colours and I got mine blue with a lot of extensions for ears. So you can adjust these bad boys with your ears. It has a really nice quality of sound and it is of the really great quality material made. I would recommend everyone these X's. They are not that expensive if you want some good quality sound and music hearing. So if you do enjoy the music then this is definetly for you. The price is going for about £ 10 which is really great for this quality. It is comfortable and it is light and portable. They are small so you can carry them whereever you want. You could not get away better. It is cheap and really great quality and portable. Just enjoy the music people with these bad boys.
these headphones are ok for their price now , but originally they cost around the £15 mark which for these headphones they are not worth it; This is due to the fact that they always fall out of your ears whilst walking or even sitting down on the bus or the tube , seems to be done more on the train due to the movement of the train and the tunnels.
Sound quality is crisp and clear , there is no doubt that the sound is bad with these headphones , bass boost on these headphones is also great and you can really hear the different harmonies within each song which makes these earphones very unique for their price.
This earphone is a great backup in ear headphones as they are made of solid products and the cable is not tangle free but these headphones do not seem to tangle up when in use , which is key whilst on the train and taking them out of pockets.
A benefit about these in ear headphones is that it comes with a black plastic case that you should keep your headphones within that will save them from being tangled up within pockets and on the desks and tables, this plastic also helps you carry the headphones without fear of loosing the plastic in ear section which can be very annoying when having one headphone in and the other out, this is possibly a unique way of storing your headphones that i have seen till this date , i know that EJay's also have a fabric pouch which is also helpful from keeping the cables from being tangled up.
These in ear headphones do definitely Xplode in your ears as the bass boost as mentioned before is mad in a good way , having very heavy bass songs will show off these headphones for sure.
Overall great product and will purchase again if mine ever brake or if i lose them (:
as the tech lover in my household it is almost certain that my family and friends come to me for advice on what to buy and my sister wanted some headphones and asked me about these but i had not heard of these before so i was a bit reluctant to buying these but i did not want to spend my time reading reviews online so i purchased a pair for myself from ebay for around £11 which is excellent value for a pair of headphones. upon arrival of the headphones i was not expecting much from these as i thought the price would reflect on the quality but i was actually impressed with these as they came just like many other headphones with spare buds and a carry case. From the looks of these not knowing the price i would have said they look excellent and its price range would be around £35 as they do look quite premium and have a good feel to them the wire feels nice and solid compared to a pair of £2 headphones from local shops and i must say they wire on them felt cheap whereas this felt strong and durable which what you want from headphones as most people keep them in pockets just like i do and if the wire is cheap the it will snap from the inside which is not what you want to happen, after a few months use i can confirm that these are durable and the wire is still intact. coming onto the sound quality which is not all too good in terms of bass it is not as deep as these claim to be as compared to maybe sonys offering from the XB (xtra bass) range but having said that these are for £12 so taking into account the price of these i really cannot fault them on anything as you cannot expect a Ferrari for ford money same with these you cannot expect sony XB's or beats for £12.
Music is my passion, I have music playing for most of the day on my iPhone. I needed some new headphones as my old ones were getting a bit bad, they had been through the wash etc! I had a look online for headphones which have a good amount of bass and these showed up widely on the Internet! I ended up purchasing these from amaZon as they were offering the cheapest price on the market at the time. I will now go into more detail on this product
I paid £10.48 for these, they currently are £12 and on some other websites much more. The cheapest place to get these is amazon. They were delivered quickly from amaZon and packaged very well. Overall these were a great price compared to others i saw with a similar spec.
These are excellent, the sound quality is great and the bass is crisp and clear. I was surprised at how good the bass was. They can cope with most songs easily. The only problem with these headphones is that due to the good bass, some
High end sound is lost and also some songs are over powered with bass! I would say these headphones are perfect for anyone who loves bass and would like this to be the main feature in there music.
The style is great, the cable is red on my headphones which is trendy and stands out from the rest. There are other colours available on Amazon, but red was my favourite. The actual ear piece is rather large, it can get in the way sometimes, it's something you have to get used to as they feel big in your ear.
These headphones are great value an perform well for the price. I would recommend these to anyone who needs a new pair of headphones for a good price! Good for the younger generation as bass is loud. I would pay much more for these than I did.
These get 5 stars from me!!
I purchased these headphones to use for my Samsung SII and listen to some tunes. As an avid music lover I wanted some headphones that could stand up to the music- being able to handle bass and beats!
Tech Spec- the details
- Gold plated 3.5mm plug
- noise reduction
- ergonomic and contoured
- durable
I purchased these for £15 from Amazon just before 4-5months ago- an absolute bargain! For the sound quality and the build of the ear phones, I really can't believe they are only £15. Buy them for that price alone! Checking on Amazon they are around £12 so cheaper again.
The look of the headphones are actually great, they are black earphones with a red wire, the red wire is really thick and the attachments feel sturdy. The earphones seem quite robust and able to handle daily use as I have had them for 4-5mths and use them frequently. The earphones come with a black travel box, so for anybody like me who gets a bit frustrated with the wire getting tangled up, this box can come in handy. It is black, small and very compact.
Sound Quality
The music quality is really good, there isn't much of a static noise on the headphones and they can handle some pretty heavy beats- from hip-hop and rap to rock and heavy metal, the sound doesn't get lost in these headphones.
The reason I buy in-ear headphones instead of big and bulky headphones is that I find them uncomfortable over my upper ear piercing. These in-ear headphones remedy this and are reasonably comfortable. However, after maybe an hour it can get tender in my inner ear, maybe my own fault for enjoying my music, for a fraction of the cost, I can overlook this negative!
Also included in the ear-phones are an additional set of silicone ear covers- a nice addition.
Good quality, good price, BARGAIN! I would definitely recommend and I will buy again for a gift as I actually think they are brilliant quality at an affordable price. I am giving this item 5 stars, as for the price and the quality, it seems that it is a superb buy.
I got these headphones as a replacement for a pair of beats headphones which were fairly expensive (around £80) that got lost.
I didn't have the same amount of money available and didn't want rubbish headphones. These were £25 which seemed reasonable so I went for these.
The sound quality, although not as good as the beats, was surprisingly very very good quality. They are very bassy and have a good overall tone. They look and feel good, come with a case and spare ear pieces of different sizes.
Only downside is the head phones on the end of the cable area little chunky but once in you dont really notice this.
I would recommend these head phones to any one wanting a good quality pair of head phones that produce a good sound but do not have the money to pay for a really expensive pair. These would suit someone in that position. (Like myself!)
I bought the JVC Xtreme Bass earphones because i listen to a lot of bass heavy music and wanted to be able to have earphones that have a lot bass so I don't have to carry around headphones with me all the time.
I bought these earphones for about £25 and I thought that I would get some average quaility headphones but they look high end and sound great for the price. Unfortunately though I had to get mine from America so they took about a fortnight to arrive but it was worth the wait.
These earphones are made of plastic and come with a plastic carry case. Personally I don,t like the carry case as its bulky and it looks cheap, so I don't use it. The headphones look great and are red and black. The cable they come with is durable but tangles quite easily in my pocket but that cant really be avoided. The earpieces themselves are very big and they might not be for everyone, luckily they are not heavy as they are made of plastic and they come with 3 different sizes of earbuds.
Audio Quality
The audio quality is the main reason to buy these earphones as it fantastic for the price. They blew the standard apple headphone I have out the water in terms of quality and bass levels. There is very little sound leakage and you cant hear any of your surroundings when listening to them. When listening to drum and bass or dubstep earphones excel and they are good for rap music to.
If you want high quality at a low cost look no further as these extreme bass headphones tick all the right boxes for music lovers.
A short while ago I purchased a shiny new phone, one with 16GB of memory for my entire music collection. Then I thought, what's the point of having all these great songs at my disposal when they sound so poor through my cheap and nasty headphones (you know the ones you get free with new phones), so I made the decision to invest in a bit of quality, having a good idea of the top most reputable brands, I set out on a mission to find some high quality, well made headphones for less than £50. What I eventually bought were some £25 headphones that were better than anything I expected for double that price. The JVC HA-FX1X Extreme Explosives....
The first thing you'll notice about these is the bold design and oversized buds (due to the massive 10mm driver) mine are black rubber and look awesome I have to say. They do stick out of your ears quite alot, and you kind of look as though your about to be brought back to life by a certain fictional scientist but despite this they stay in the ear very well. As for the lead its an unapologetically bright red, which give them a bit of attitude and just let you know that these headphones aren't your average set. One rule for headphone wire is the thicker the cable the better the quality. Much to my surprise these were incredibly thick, and not only that but pure copper! Very rare at this price (£25) and much better at delivering clean signal transfer.
Now onto build quality, as far as I'm concerned these bad boys are indestructible, and whilst I'm reluctant to test my theory it has to be said that these really are the toughest headphones I've ever bought or even seen for that matter. The lead is fastened firm to the buds and I even dared to give it a good hard tug to be sure, as for the buds themselves, these are rock-solid! They have a kind of half rubber half plastic finish and seem to be moulded out of granite. As with all cushioned ear-piece type headphones the caps are prone to coming off now and then, however I was grateful for the three different sizes they give you (small/medium/large) for different ear types/sizes, be sure to test each of them as It can make a great difference to noise isolation and therefore sound quality.
Now to the most impressive aspect of all, the sound. This really did blow me away, first off I must say these headphones specialise in delivering bass, that said they are extremely versatile and still great for all music types. The drivers on these headphones are 10mm, which is massive. To put this into perspective the average cheaper pair will likely have a 4mm driver. The advantage of this is a distinct lack of distortion even at extremely high volume levels, and also a lower audible frequency range and generally richer sound. Whilst they are superb for all genres, when using them for genres like Dubstep, DnB or anything bass orientated they really come into their own. You can FEEL the bass and that's no exaggeration, even at super low frequencies its so rich and so powerful it completely and utterly changes the song.
Also these headphones, despite not claiming any noise reduction properties are pretty good at isolating the sound when using the right size ear pieces.
Here's my highlights of the spec;
10mm neodymium drivers
gold-plated 3.5mm jack
Extreme Deep bass ports
2.6mm very robust pure copper cable
I can tell you right now I've just seen these online with free delivery for £16.99! That really is incredible value, simply cant believe the spec at that price....completely unrivalled. Whilst I'm conscious I've had a bit of a rant here I can assure you its justified, If your looking for headphones that can really deliver but don't want to blow the bank then trust me, right now you wont find better anywhere. Id advise looking on youtube at some of the comparison tests between these and some £80 Klipsch Image S4's. Thanks for reading and I hope this helped.

Welcome to 'La Futura': 70s rock band ZZ Top hits the road
Updated 7:04 am, Thursday, October 18, 2012
ZZ Top has long defied time. But cheap sunglasses and a treasure of blues-rock hits aside, the band's future wasn't exactly so bright it needed shades.
These days, however, guitarist Billy Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard are all about la futura.
That's saying something for a '70s act that transformed itself for the MTV age decades ago with hit after unlikely hit.
They're back, baby!
The legendary little ol' band from Texas arrives for a two-night stand at Majestic Theatre Sunday and Monday to promote its latest album "La Futura," its first in almost a decade.

The Black Cadillacs open.
"La Futura" is being hailed as an inspired return to the Houston rock trio's blues roots. Producer Rick Rubin is credited with lighting a fire under the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame veterans who made the electric blues he recalled and loved.
He went for that pure essence — just like he did with the Dixie Chicks, Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond.
More Information
In concert
ZZ Top, with the Black Cadillacs opening, 7:30 p.m. Sunday-Monday, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St. $45-$95 through Ticketmaster outlets.
For openers: The Black Cadillacs
Young six-man rock band hails from Knoxville, Tenn., and has two indie albums to its name. The latest is "Run." It's a classic sound, heavy on electric guitars, that draws from the Rolling Stones, the Who, My Morning Jacket and the Black Keys.
"The goal was to get back to the roots of what inspired them to be a band in the first place," Rubin told the Houston Chronicle. "We listened to old blues records and talked about what made them special and tried to reconnect with that initial passion."
But the truth is, they never were that disconnected.
As Chronicle music writer Andrew Dansby noted, "ZZ Top didn't need a new coat of paint so much as it needed a tune-up."
Jonathan Valania, writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer, echoed those sentiments after a recent concert, ZZ Top "brought their A game, delivering a scorching 90-minute run through their fairly deathless back catalog ... and somehow made it look effortless."
No matter how good the new music, the business has changed drastically from the band's heydays and even from its last record, "Mescalero."
"There's no way to tell what a good record is anymore," drummer Frank Beard told the Chronicle. "What's good, 45,000 sold? That used to be what you'd ship the first week."
Onstage, such bean counting matters not a lick.
In addition to groovy new songs like "I Gotsa Get Paid," fans can expect classics like "I Thank You," "Waitin' for the Bus"/"Jesus Just Left Chicago," "Gimme All Your Lovin,'" "Sharp Dressed Man," "Legs," "Tube Snake Boogie," "La Grange, "Tush" and some surprises, too.

Where are you soccer mom? Oh, she's still out there, but her kids have gotten older and she won't be caught dead in mom-jeans, anymore. There's a new mom out there and she's driving the auto industry like never before. Bob Broderdorf, Jr., the head of Dodge Brand told Local 4's, First at 4 reporter, Paula Tutman that this year, the brand did a lot of leg work with female drivers who are also mothers. They asked them what they liked in a mini-van and they put those aspects into the new Dodge Durango, RT. Christina Selter, editor of HerHighway.com can't hide her distaste of mini-vans and what they say about the mothers and fathers who drive them. Her sense is they lack a sleekness and aggressiveness. She says she wants power under the hood and in her view the classic mini van, with the sliding doors and low profile scream 'married with children, unavailable and uninteresting'. Don't count the mini-van out, yet though. 316, 500 mini vans were sold in the first six months of 2012, alone in the U-S... a jump of 17 percent. But the crossover and the SUV sold 4 million vehicles in the same time period. The Soccer Mom, isn't who she used to be. HerHighway.com focuses on the female consumer and the trend they're seeing on the website indicates that women don't want to just lug children, pets and stuff, they want to look sexy and current while doing so. The new mom's haul-it-all is an accessory says, Selter. This year at the auto show, mom can consider herself heard. All three of the Big Three recognize the growing anti-mini van sentiment and believe 2013 will be the year to hammer home that there are other alternatives. Chrysler and Dodge are playing both sides...the only domestic manufacturer still in the mini van game. The 2014 model of the Caravan is sassed up with a new 'black-top, sleek interior and vibrant colors that scream, "look at me". But you can't lose the fact that on the auto show floor at Cobo it's parked right next to that new Durango RT which has the same safety features and the majority of the hauling-lots-of-stuff amenities as a classic mini-van save a few cubic feet. For all intent and purposes, the new Durango RT is the new mini-van without the look. It even has captain chairs in the middle row for easy access to a full third row of seating. And those seats fold down for flat carrying capacity. In other words, you can throw away your mom-jeans, mini-van look for about 8-thousand dollars more and the upgrade packages from there are almost irresistible for increments as low as the $300 range. Women are driving this one says James Bell of General Motors. It's 2014 3-row Traverse is deliberately and distinctively un-mini-vanish in appearance, but it, too boasts fold down seats and as many cup holders as the traditional mini-van. For its part, Ford touts Flex as its best anti-mini-van option says Angie Kosleski of Ford Motor Company. Is this the demise of the soccer mom? No. But she looks different, she drives differently and she wants you to notice, she's more than a mom, she's a person.

LAS VEGAS – Sections Editor Dan Galbraith gathered the following news items at Pack Expo 2013, Sept. 23-25, at the Las Vegas Convention Center:
North Star Engineered Products
Perrysburg, Ohio-based North Star Engineered Products recently upgraded the manifest system, incorporated a digital monitor system and added an optional chiller to its Melonium II Wedger/Dicer.
A filtration enhancement to extend washwater life is also in the works, said John Clement Jr., division manager.
"We redid our dicer about six months ago to eliminate pneumatics (air cylinder technology). It's now a mechanical cam action that gives a much more even cut and increases output."
Although Octal's Pack Expo launch of DPET/PE film for increased sustainability targeted a meat-and-cheese product, North American sales director Mark Hunt said fresh produce applications are not far off and he expects high demand for it from fresh fruit and vegetable processors.
"If you're in fresh-cut produce, that's the message you want to send. This is the most sustainable, smallest carbon footprint PET," Hunt said. "It has the best machinability and has been tested at 1% gauge control variation, while 3%-5% is the industry average."
Also billed to deliver high-quality optics, DPET/PE eliminates six of the nine steps of conventional sheet production, making it the "first and only direct-to-sheet polyester sheet in the world," according to the company.
Tamper-evident produce packaging that stays fully attached is what differentiates Madison, Wis.-based Placon's new Crystal Seal Tamper-Evident packaging, said account executive Jennifer Mitchell.
Launched in May, the new packaging option, along with the company's new Fresh 'n Clear bowls and lids, feature Placon's new anti-fog technology.
"The anti-fog technology is incorporated into all our products now and keeps it clear, for more eye appeal on retail shelves. It's condensation-resistant," Mitchell said.
Atlanta-based Printpack Inc. recently invested $66 million in an expansion of its packaging conversion facilities, said Michael Verbeten, supply chain vice president.
The company is adding 46,000 square feet, all-new equipment and 20 primarily production jobs in its facilities in Villa Rica, Ga.
ABB Robotics
ABB Robotics' new 8-kilogram model IRB 360 FlexPicker line offers is geared to add picking and packing for heavy items, including fresh produce. It offers handling of up to 100 cycles a minute.
The company's new product features a reconfigured carbon fiber arm-set, an improved delta plate for heavier weights and upgraded motion tuning.
"It can pick up product as gently as it needs to, and this new 8 kg model would expand fresh produce applications for heavier foods like bananas," said Alex Miller, of AE Miller Marketing Group, Thiensville, Wis., representing ABB.
Account manager Jeff Voll said one customer is already using an ABB FlexPicker for pears.
"It can pick pears off a flatbed conveyor and into a protected nest or tray. A vacuum picks up the round side of the pear," Voll said, noting the machine could be good for peppers, cucumbers and apples, too, but testing of the machine on those is ongoing.
Other FlexPicker series advantages include easy washdown and conveyor tracking performance.
A-B-C Packaging
Tarpon Springs, Fla.-based A-B-C Packaging introduced its Model 436 case sealer combining interchangeable tape and adhesive sealing.
The machine's modular design is geared to allow packagers of snack-sized packs to quickly switch from one sealing method to another.
"This provides the most practical and cost-effective solution for our snack manufacturer customers who need maximum flexibility in a compact machine," said Bryan Sinicrope, vice president of sales and marketing.
The sealer boasts speeds to 50 cases per minute.
GE Intelligent Platforms
Charlottesville, Va.-based GE Intelligent Platforms featured speakers addressing data concerns fresh produce company personnel are facing with regard to food safety, traceability and innovation.
Katie Moore, global industry manager for food and beverage division, provided insight on GE's food safety software featuring mobile real-time operational data; and using advanced software and raw material intelligence to prevent food recalls.
Jeff Bartoletti, business leader, manufacturing food safety, guided attendees on how to use software to "leverage the critical insight, consistency and transparency needed to identify and address potential food safety issues while products are still within the factory walls."
Mettler Toledo
Mettler Toledo showcased several new products at Pack Expo 2013.
The Aurora, Ill.-based company's Safeline PowerChek Plus X-ray inspection system is geared for product contamination inspection standards of volume producers of bulk and packaged food.
Mettler Toledo also introduced three checkweighers.
West Sacramento, Calif.-based Odenberg Inc./Tomra Sorting Solutions' Orbit Steam Peeler uses a unique vessel design and exhaust system to eliminate peel loss, according to the company.
Its XPT valve technology allows higher steam flow with less maintenance and long wear life.
"Sensor-based technology is used to monitor and provide feedback to the control system which processes the information to ensure the lowest steam times and peel loss. The user interface enables the user to read data, adjust process parameters and control the complete peeling line," according to a company news release.

More Ag News
Three months ago, alleged child sexual assaults at Maxwell made gripping headlines, but the charges have fizzled.
No sexual assault charges were ever filed in Lincoln County.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys issued the joint statement, saying that in retrospect, perhaps Maxwell school officials should have reported allegations to law officers or the state Department of Health and Human Services.
The alleged abuse occurred among members of the boys wrestling team in August 2011 and February 2012.
School officials said they conducted their own investigation but found nothing substantial. But concerned parents pressed the issue with the Nebraska State Patrol, and the NSP started an investigation in July.
In September, the NSP cited three school employees -- wrestling coach Ryan Jones, Superintendant Dan Twarling and Principal Aubrey Boucher -- for failing to report suspected child abuse.
The citation became statewide news. The Omaha World Herald obtained search warrant documents, including a womans shocking statement to an NSP investigator that a wrestler was held down and sodomized with a pop bottle at a late-summer wrestling camp.
Also, according to the search warrant statements, the same student was allegedly assaulted in February, when another student grabbed him on a school bus.
But the assaults may not have ever happened. The allegations were hotly disputed. Even the wrestler and the wrestler's mother told top school officials, more than once, that the abuse never happened, defense attorney Robert Lindemeier said.
"They (school officials) obtained accounts of what happened from several students, Lindemeier said soon after the NSP issued the citations. They investigated the allegations and determined there was no reasonable cause that a child had been subjected to abuse.
Nevertheless, NSP investigators questioned community members and searched pertinent files from the school. Lt. Lynn Williams said in September that the initial investigation led to more potential victims.
After the investigation, the NSP gave their findings to the Lincoln County Attorney, Williams told the Bulletin. Currently, that evidence is in the hands of the Buffalo County Attorney, which has jurisidiction in the case because the August 2011 incident reportedly happened at a wrestling camp in Kearney.
Buffalo County Attorney Shawn Etherton said Friday that he is reviewing the evidence. He has not decided if charges are warranted.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling did not press charges, either for abuse or for the failure of key Maxwell school officials to report suspicious behavior to higher authorities.
Going forward
Harling and Lindemeier said this week that the school will revise policies and procedures to help understand when and where to report such allegations.
The school staff will be offered training by the state Department Health and Human Services, the Lincoln County Attorneys Office as well as the Maxwell school board and its attorney.
Also, teachers schedules will be structured to allow them to tour the Bridge of Hope advocacy center in North Platte -- a shelter for domestic and sexual assault victims -- and new school policies will be implemented at Maxwell to require the school boards legal counsel to be involved in appropriate cases, the attorneys said.
It is our intent to better protect each and every student as well as provide guidelines for those who are in charge of their safety, Harling and Lindemeier said. In moving forward, the goal is to create a stronger relationship between the community and the school to affirm that whenever abuse or neglect has occurred, such incidents will be reported so they may be investigated properly.
How to report
Nebraska law makes it mandatory to report incidents of child neglect or abuse, Harling and Lindemeier said in the statement.
If you know of child neglect or abuse, contact a local law enforcement agency such as the Nebraska State Patrol, the Lincoln County Sheriffs office or the North Platte Police Department. Or a person can fulfill their legal obligation by calling a Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services hotline at 1-800-652-1999.

CHICO — A chance to pick up a game in the league standings, the thrill of rivalry revenge and one outstanding soccer gene pool did the trick for the Pleasant Valley High boys against their crosstown nemesis on Tuesday.
Jake Lopez scored twice, a brace bolstered by two assists from his twin brother Nick, and Ian Melton also scored as the Vikings avenged two earlier losses with a 3-1 victory over the Panthers at PV.
The aggressors for just about all of the 80 minutes, the Vikings (9-3-1, 8-2 Eastern Athletic League) picked up their fourth straight win to tighten things up in the EAL. Returning prolific goal-scorer Ibrahim Ibrahim, a big, powerful forward who put a foot on all three goals the Panthers scored in their last matchup with PV, Chico looked far from its clinical, patient self from the outset. Much of that was because of the game plan employed by the Vikings, with their rampaging runs up the flanks, touch passing throughout the midfield and the timely finishing needed to make it all matter.
"We've been preparing for this rematch since the last time we played them," PV coach Mike Vought said. "We rededicated ourselves and it showed up before this match. I told the guys, 'Look, just stay relaxed, do what you've been doing and everything's going to be fine.' There was no reason to change anything. Chico was the better team the first two games; today, we were the better team."
Indeed, PV hasn't lost since Jan. 10, when the Panthers (12-3, 9-1 EAL) beat them 3-1. A first half that was devoid of goals was nonetheless indicative of the Vikings' form; they created six corner kicks to Chico's two in the first 40 minutes, were two steps ahead in the midfield and dominated the 50-50 aerial game.
All those symptoms of PV's improved class were confirmed just minutes after the break, when Nick Lopez, the Vikings' left winger with the nonstop motor, hustled to earn possession deep in Chico territory and eventually won a corner kick. He swerved in his cross, keeping it centered and low, and Melton was there to nod it through for the game's first marker.
It turned out to be just the first crack in the dam. Goals soon flowed forth from the hosts in white, and at least one Lopez played a role in the rest of them. The second was simply a piece of shooting skill; after Jake Lopez drew a foul just outside the Panthers' penalty box, he himself stepped for the free kick and buried it from 20 yards out, skimming it through the Chico wall to the far post for the 2-0 lead in the 60th minute.
PV wasn't done; the Panthers had seemingly just retrieved the ball from the net before Jake Lopez struck again, this time coming up with a scrappy tap-in in front of the net after Nick Lopez swung in another threatening corner that proved just as deadly as his first.
"It was a great feeling for me. You can't get any better than scoring on your brother's pass," said Jake Lopez, who pulled himself off the pitch after he saw his shot ripple the net and commemorated the sure-fire winner with a flurry of running fist pumps.
Kee Lor got one back for the Panthers in the 74th minute, assisted by Jason Snedeker, but it was too little and far too late to keep Chico's clean EAL record intact.
"They kept pressure on us and we never got settled in and played our game," Panthers coach Ryan Flenner said. "We played a lot of balls in the air, and they're a strong team in the air. We played to their strengths instead of to our own feet."
PV has the opportunity to end its regular season with panache — they finish with a home game against Paradise, which the Vikings have outscored 16-1 in two matches, and Las Plumas, 6-0 PV victims in the teams' last meeting.
"We've got a good flow going into playoffs. We're looking good," Jake Lopez said. "We've just got to keep it going, keep up the positive outlook."

I'm about half-way done Doom 3 for Xbox. I literally get goosebumps when I play that game. Of course, playing it in a cold, dark basement at 12am is not always the best...but it's a combination of the sound effects and surprise attacks that get me every time.

Probably my second favorite game of all time (only because I'm not that into RPGs and Resident Evil has provided me with far too many great memories).
Advance Wars: Dual Strike...I'm generally terrible at anything even remotely resembling a strategy game (I'll regale you with my Final Fantasy Tactics failures some other day), but I like this one a lot. Once you get an idea what what each unit can do, it's very easy to just pick up and play.

I played two games last night but I can't remember the order I played them in. I played Tetras in the Arcade and Hunting Unlimited 3 on my computer.
San Andreas
I had it on the PS2 and then I loaned out said PS2 and game (I was at the FINAL MISSION). I never got the PS2 back and I wasn't too pissed because I knew it was on it's last legs. So instead of buying a new PS2 to try to beat it again, I got a copy of San Andreas for the XBOX. I'm almost 3/4 through the missions in San Fierro.

No matter how hard some women try, those dimples on their inner thighs or the back of their legs just won't go away. This trouble area known as cellulite is a major fashion and beauty issue that can happen to anyone. Woman's Day reports cellulite is formed by fibrous connective cords that connect to your muscle. Fat cells reside between these cords and as more fat cells accumulate, they start to push up against the skin, while the connective cords pull down. The pulling and pushing results in the uneven surfaces, or dimples, that are cellulite. Despite the fact that this problem can occur, certain skin care products and other natural remedies may help reduce its appearance, helping you feel better in an instant.
Get in a good workout
One of the best ways to reduce the signs of cellulite has to do with putting in some hard work at the gym. Since the issue is derived from fat cells, exercising specific areas such as your buttocks and your inner and outer thighs, might help rid the skin of the unflattering dimples.
You can see results by increasing your muscle strength in trouble regions and by doing cardio, since aerobic exercise is a great way to burn calories and fat, the news outlet reports.
Cellulite reducing products
If you're less of a gym enthusiast than you wish you were, it may be smart to start slow by using certain creams and brushes to reduce the signs of cellulite. Using a body brush for cellulite like the Elemis Spa At Home Body Brush can work to increase circulation to the area, while improving your metabolism and eliminating dead skin cells.
Ladies looking to start both exercising and using creams to repair their cellulite might want to purchase an Elemis skincare product like the Elemis Spa At Home Cellutox Active Body Oil. This oil contains a mixture of powerful detoxifying ingredients like sea fennel, lemon and juniper to help smooth the appearance of cellulite, while combating the build-up of toxins due to a poor diet or lack of exercise.
Other options for hiding cellulite, according to the news source, include using self tanners to help make the skin woe less visibleand staying hydrated. Drinking plenty of water is a great way to improve the texture of your skin, which is a benefit for your whole body.
