OFFICIAL BOILERPLATE:

DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, "Need for Speed" captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless.

The film centers around Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia Maddon (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey's shop, a disastrous race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didn’t commit, and sending Tobey to prison while Dino expands his business out West.

Two years later, Tobey is released and set on revenge — but he knows his only chance to take down his rival Dino is to defeat him in the high-stakes race known as De Leon — the Super Bowl of underground racing. However to get there in time, Tobey will have to run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet that includes dodging pursuing cops coast-to-coast as well as contending with a dangerous bounty Dino has put out on his car. With the help of his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.

“Need for Speed” is presented by DreamWorks Pictures, produced by Patrick O’Brien, John Gatins and Mark Sourian, and directed by Scott Waugh. The screenplay is by George Gatins. The story is by George Gatins & John Gatins, and, based on the video game series created by Electronic Arts. The film releases in U.S. theaters on March 14, 2014.

PREMIUM Solid Cordz® 1 Foot Extension Cable (5-pack) Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

One of the things I hate most in the world is chaos. I like to have everything neatly in it's place and organized for optimal ease. Unfortunately, not everything in life can be so easily situated, leaving me having to find a way to deal with it.

A perfect example of this would be the mess of cords connected to my power strips. I have several of these strips in my home, but the one with the most mess, has to be the one connecting my computer and all of it's parts. It seems like there are cords running every which way, leaving me with a jumble of cables and plugs that can't be easily hidden. The fact that I have to sit beside them every day just adds to my frustration.

I was recently given the chance to review an item that could help eliminate this clutter and lessen my irritation to it as well. The Premium Solid Cordz 1 Foot Extension Cables are the perfect answer to this cord related issue. Each cord fits nicely into one of the outlet sockets on my power strip, elimination overhang and allowing me to use every slot available instead of just a few of them. I simply unplugged the items from the strip and plugged each one into an extension cable, then plugged the cables into the power strip. It literally takes seconds to complete and the result is much nicer looking.

The extra foot of room actually serves several purposes. It leaves room for other plugs, instead of blocking the way with large adapter pieces. Being able to use all of the sockets means I do not have to have more than one of these in any given area. It frees extra outlets for other items and leaves a neater appearance. Having the extensions also lends and extra bit of length to otherwise too short cables. No more moving my whole desk for that extra inch needed to connect a printer or router.

These cords are helpful in many other ways too. Using these in the bathroom gives you extra length for that curling iron or blow dryer that won't quite reach the bottom of your hair. These were really handy in the kitchen as well. The extra foot of reach saves me time and effort while cooking like always having to set down the mixer to grab the salt or seasoning I forgot to get before I started.

These could be utilized in the bedroom so you can have the lamp, alarm clock and phone charger all plugged into the same spot, or in the garage so all those tools can fit into one power strip. There are endless uses for these and I plan to take advantage of them all.
