Harbinger Women’s Power Gloves Review

One needs gloves for any sort of repetitive exercise that they may do at the workout center. This does include running, elliptical work, and the exercise bike. However, pretty much no one follows that mantra. I know now that this reluctance is not due to the price of the gloves, nor the quality. Harbinger Fitness has made their name in providing products that will stand up to the rigors of…

Boardwalk Empire – The Complete First Season (DVD Set)

Flying Dog Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout

In the last few months, we at NeuFutur have received a number of efforts that have been plain boring. This is true even with the independent breweries that are on the map – it just feels as if there is a collective malaise in brewing. Flying Dog shatters that aura of complacency with their Kujo Imperial Coffee Stout. While I was expecting a dark, biting, and coffee-heavy effort, the brewery…

Bonnie “Prince” Billy introduces Bonny Billy Blend Kona Rose Coffee

The organic movement is finally real! It brings us a caffeinated surge of pleasure to introduce to you the first-ever (and only) Bonnie Prince-certified organic coffee. Up until now there were rules and rules about how to get a product certified organic, but standards are for the birds. And Bonny eats birds for breakfast. With coffee, goddamn. Along his travels Bonny somehow managed to find himself on the island of…

Thermaltake Meka G1 / Gaming Keyboard Review

I feel that one of the biggest detriments to my online and computer gaming has to be the keyboard tat I use. The keyboards that are made fully from plastic or can be found in a $5 bin just cannot compare to the quality that is brought by the Meka G1. This means that the keyboard is rugged as all get out, with it being able to take 50 million…

Heelys Wave Shoe Review

The Heelys design has been improved to allow for larger weights (adult-sized individuals) to be able to enjoy the footwear in the same fashion as children. I feel that the rubber used on the sole allows for the shoes to have a lifespan of some tens of thousands of miles, while the wheels that are employed here are of the highest quality. No matter whether one is using the Heely…

TLF Flight T / T-Shirt Review

TLF Flight T / T-Shirt / http://www.tlfapparel.com / http://www.tlfapparel.com/women_s/1818.htm There are a number of different workout companies that mindlessly ape others’ styles. However, TLF is a company that has a strong graphic design department. This allows them to create t-shirts (as well as jerseys and tanks) that are utterly fashionable while fully unique. The TLF Flight T is a vibrant and brilliant red, with a screenprint of crows flying up…

Figure Fuel Supplement Reviewed

However, MAN Sports is looking to change that misconception with their new product. Figure Fuel is the product that females need to push themselves through their rigorous workouts and be able to gain the tone and definition that they need. Each bottle contains 30 servings, and…

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret – Series 1 (DVD)

Arrested Development, though admittedly an amazingly creative TV show that lasted a surprising three season on a network not exactly known for embracing originality, may have created far larger a hurdle for its stars that they ever could have imagine. Since the show went off the air, creator Mitch Hurwitz and his actors, separately and together, have failed to come up with a formula even remotely as successful as Arrested…
