myCharge Portable Chargers

In this age of personal electronic devices it's really depressing to be raring to go and find out that your phone isn't. The perfect way to battle dead battery syndrome is with a portable charger from myCharge. myCharge has more than 25 different chargers available, beginning with the Hub Series which has built in Apple Lightning and micro USB cables with various models being available for smart phones, smart phones and tablets, or smart phones, tablets and USB devices. The Razor Series, with models for smart phones or smart phones and tablets, comes with one or two built-in USB ports depending on model. We tested a couple of different myCharge portable chargers and can highly recommend the AMP Series Amp-Prong Plus charger; it plugs into the wall to take a charge and has two USB port outputs so you can use it to charge two devices (smart phone, tablet) at a time. We also like the All Terrain+ model; it is a rugged military grade charger in a waterproof, dirt proof, temperature proof and shock proof case that charges via a USB port and that can charge two devices at once. All myCharge portable chargers (including the Style Power Series for fashionistas) come pre-charged and, depending on model, have up to 5X battery power. The chargers also recharge much faster than most. Available for purchase here.

Stumpy's Hatchet House

The place has a name that conjures images of something that college kids might stumble across in a B-grade horror film, but actually Stumpy's Hatchet House in Eatontown, New Jersey is where to go to safely learn the art of hatchet throwing. Stumpy's offers two-hour sessions (where you can bring your own booze) and also specializes in "bury the hatchet" parties where your group can honor someone who's moved on from an ex, said good riddance to a job or overcome an illness. Stumpy's is only open Weds.-Sun. (with the exception of party bookings) and reservations are required for parties of four or more persons. For more information go here.
