![]() Voight, channeling a pirate-slash-Colombian drug lord vibe, emanates threat as he chews the scenery with an enthusiasm to match the mechanical snake's single-minded pursuit of homo sapiens tartare (hold the shallots and capers). Similar stories have been told many times before, but few have the bemused villainy of an unrestrained Jon Voight playing the crazed snake hunter who will stop at nothing to capture a live 50-foot anaconda for a projected $1 million payday. Show moreĪnaconda is a skillful if hokey horror movie that will seem both familiar and campy. Serone forces the crew to help him, but nature has other plans for the hapless bunch. ![]() Soon, big snakes are everywhere, leaping out of the water, flying up 50 feet in the air in pursuit of hapless humans, and crushing and swallowing the unlucky. But Serone makes his living capturing big snakes to sell to zoos and private collectors for big bucks, and in no time things go disastrously wrong. ![]() None seemed particularly prepared for roughing it, so when his girlfriend and the film's director Terri ( Jennifer Lopez), cameraman Danny ( Ice Cube), boat captain Mateo (Vincent Castellanos), soundman Gary ( Owen Wilson), and production manager Denise (Kari Wuhrer) stop to rescue Serone ( Jon Voight) from his disabled boat, they feel almost lucky to have someone with his knowledge of the local waterways to guide them. In ANACONDA, Professor Steven Cale ( Eric Stoltz) has commissioned a barge to float him and his small documentary crew down some Amazon tributaries in search of an elusive ancient tribe. ![]() This took the form of two small squares of foam that are designed to soften the impact as the triggers bottom out, however, these squares aren’t dense enough, so the mechanism that the triggers actuate manages to slam down onto its plastic mounting plate. The triggers also lack the usual slightly softened impact that we are used to from most Xbox controllers, after disassembling the controller, we found the culprit. Both of these colors have a pastel vibe to them that helps to prevent the custom color from clashing with the standard face buttons, sticks, and Xbox logo. The face of the controller has a beautiful pastel gradient going diagonally across, fading smoothly from marshmallow-esque yellow to a Hello Kitty-reminiscent pink. This is the real selling point, isn’t it? The pink lemonade colorway of this controller is just fantastic to look at. Given that this controller is not wireless, setup is barely worth talking about as it amounts to plugging the included cable into the controller, then into the console/PC, or vice versa, if you really want to spice things up. This worries us as a frontal impact during shipping could spell disaster, however, our sample arrived in mint condition, despite a few visible impacts to the box. One thing worth noting here is that the controller is only secured at the bottom of the handles and on top of the triggers, this means that the analog sticks are almost directly pressed up against the box. So it’s safe to say that PowerA has some impressive heritage, so let’s take a look at one of their more recent products, the ‘Pink Lemonade’ enhanced Xbox Controller. If you’re willing to pay the big bucks you can get just such a controller from companies like SCUF or the Xbox Design Lab, but what if you don’t want to sell organs on the black market or miss rent for another month? Well, there are a few companies producing cute, cromulent, and cost-effective controllers out there, like the subject of this review, PowerA.įounded in 2009 under parent company BDA LLC, PowerA immediately got to work, attaining licenses from Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox to produce officially branded controllers, charging stands, and other such peripheral accessories, including the premium sub-brand, FUSION. If you’re anything like us, you’ve coveted a controller with additional features and a more interesting color scheme than the typical primary colors available from the likes of Microsoft and Sony. Experience the difference a bit of organization can do after your quick and easy assembly has you wondering how you ever lived without this compact key holder. Designed to fit perfectly inside any KeySmart key holder or on your standard keychain, these miniature tools will keep you prepared for any adventure thrown your way.
![]() Then, the night before the trip (or whenever), you could review all of the bookings you have and pick whichever two provide the lowest overall combined rate from the same agency. Whenever AutoSlash comes back with a lower rate, you could book that lower rate while not cancelling either your original bookings or any subsequent bookings you make on cheaper rentals, per AutoSlash’s alerts. If I understand your question correctly, I think you could just book the two cars at whichever agency has the lowest overall combined price for the two cars. AutoSlash saved me $99.95 (54%) with minimal effort on my part. But then, over the next several months, it found these progressively lower rates: For more than a month, AutoSlash couldn’t find a better rate. The best rate I could find at the time of booking was $185.42. That is, the further out your car rental reservation is, the more days AutoSlash has to get you a great price.Īs an extreme example, I once booked a car in July of 2014 for a Thanksgiving trip four months later. And it will continue to work on all 10 bookings up to the pickup day for each of them.Īnd in my experience, AutoSlash is all the more powerful the more days you can give it to work. Two days later, it had knocked 5% of a 7 th reservation. Within an hour, AutoSlash had brought the price down on 6 of the reservations by an average of 14%. I submitted those reservations to AutoSlash to track. Last weekend I conducted a test in which I created 10 car rental reservations for 10 different car types, in 10 different cities, spread out over the course of the next 10 months, for 1-7 days rental length each. And because it is so easy to use, the savings feel like free money. As I mentioned above, I’ve used it dozens of times to save money on car rentals. If it finds you a lower rate from a different rental company, it emails you with instructions for how to rebook yourself. If it finds a lower rate from the same rental car company, it automatically re-books you so as to lock in the savings, and it emails you your new confirmation number. Keeping all of those items the same, AutoSlash tries multiple times per day to bring your rate down by applying coupons and discounts. It doesn’t change the date, time, pickup location, drop-off location, or car type of your rental. You can include any organizations or clubs that you might belong to (such as AAA) that could help AutoSlash get you the best possible rate:ĪutoSlash then goes to work. Then, provide AutoSlash with your name, email address, rental car company, confirmation number, pickup-date, and reserved price for your rental. Once that booking is complete, head over to AutoSlash and click on the tab that says “Track a Rental”: The simplest way to use AutoSlash is, first, to reserve a car however you typically book a car. Simply put, AutoSlash ( is a free site that tries to find you a lower rate on most any car rental you book. In this post I’ll explain what AutoSlash is and show you how to use it to quickly save a ton when renting a car. Due to its considerable savings and ease of use, I highly recommend using AutoSlash every time you book a rental car. On at least 10 separate occasions, AutoSlash saved me more than 31% off the lowest rate I could find. On one occasion, AutoSlash saved me a whopping $2,178 (74%) on a 27-day SUV rental. ![]() I’ve used AutoSlash dozens of times since 2011. You, too? If so, you need to use a free site called AutoSlash. Free.When renting a car, I want to get the cheapest rate possible with the least amount of effort. It’s a great service and the price is right. They will check rates up until your pick up date to find you the lowest fare. Go to, punch in your travel request and let them do the rest. This method now saves you even more time. ![]() I will test it a few more times before I totally abandon every other rental car site but I am pretty confident that booking directly with will produce the best results. I don’t know if made changes to their booking tool or I was just an unfortunate outlier, but I did some testing and booking directly with will now produce the lowest rate available. It has been my experience that this method produced better results than booking the original rental directly with autoslash. In the past, I have recommended booking a rental car with one of the websites for rental cars (,, ) and then putting that information into. I posted this as a comment under the Gambling with an Edge show on 7/19/18 where I mentioned autoslash, but thought I would post it here as well. ![]() The Saturday program will cover nearly 4,700 cities and towns by November - just in time for the holiday shopping season - and will include 5,800 locations by the end of 2018, the company said. As a result, the costs for Sunday deliveries will be higher than for weekday deliveries. This is due to the fact that UPS employees do not work on Sundays. However, these services will only be available in certain metropolitan areas.

Online shoppers, rejoice: UPS will finally deliver packages on Saturdays. The testimonies, archival footage, and historical argument this documentary marshals in such a compelling manner is essential to our education as health care professionals and scholars. It stands as an extraordinary correction to the collective amnesia about race and health and a deeply considered tribute to the struggles for racial justice forged by so many during the implementation of Medicare. "Every scholar, student, professional, and patient of public health and medical care should see this film - and discuss it. POWER TO HEAL illustrates how Movement leaders and grass-roots volunteers pressed and worked with the federal government to achieve a greater measure of justice and fairness for African-Americans. Using the carrot of Medicare dollars, the federal government virtually ended the practice of racially segregating patients, doctors, medical staffs, blood supplies and linens. ![]() Less than half the nation's hospitals served black and white patients equally, and in the South, 1/3 of hospitals would not admit African-Americans even for emergencies. ![]() Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country practically overnight.īefore Medicare, disparities in access to hospital care were dramatic.
