Battery-operate - battery, battery-operate


I don't usually write these reviews, but I was extremely irritated with the way this product turned out for me.

As a high school math teacher I am always in need of a good pencil sharpener, but considering I personally buy more than half of my school supplies, I couldn't afford to spend a lot on one. After reading the reviews, and deciding to purchase it, I anticipated receiving a great working sharpener for little money!

NOT THE CASE. After "teaching" my students how to work the sharpener - hold the pencil firmly, press VERY gently, take it out quickly - over and over again, it broke. It constantly would break the lead off the pencil and get stuck in the sharpener. And finally it just completely quit working. So after only four weeks of school, it is getting no use whatsoever but collecting dust in my desk, while my students are back using 99cent plastic sharpeners. It worked great for me personally, but for a classroom of young adults/teenagers, it is not worth it! X-Acto 16750 Battery-Powered Pencil Sharpener, Black

My old battery operated pencil sharpener died a miserable death a few months ago and I needed a replacement. I vacilated between a battery-operated one and an electric one. I finally decided on the battery-operated sharpener as I have noticed no difference in the life length between the two--I use electric ones on my desk at work. At any rate, I decided on the X-ACTO Razor Blade Battery Sharpener. I also purchased a package of rechargeable batteries for it.



The sharpener has worked perfectly each time that I have used it. Another reviewer mentioned art pencils and it is a valid point to take into consideration. I haven't used art pencils in a while so cannot speak to that. One complaint mentioned that the catch-container is only large enough to sharpen 1 or 2 pencils before it needs to be emptied. That has not been my experience. I can go several days--and several sharpenings--without needing to empty the container.



My only complaint about the sharpener--and it has been my complaint with most of those I have owned--it's noisy as in very. The cat runs out of the room each time that I use it. That said, it is a small price to pay for a perfectly sharpened pencil.

just about every time i've ever use this thing it pulls the lead out of the pencil and clogs the sharpening device with said lead. you have to take it apart and dig out the lead and then grind away another inch of pencil to compensate for the lead that fell out. if you are very lucky you only need to waste about 3-4 inches of pencil to get one point.

I needed a portable, light, and inexpensive sharpener for my pencils- regular graphite #2, a variety of drawing pencils (including charcoal and graphite in assorted soft/hardnesses), colored pencils, and watercolor pencils. This sharpener has done a perfect job on all of them. I haven't had any problems with tips breaking off or shattering, and the pencil tip is always a perfect razor-fine sharpness with a good balance of wood to graphite/lead. I especially like that I no longer have to use an X-Acto knife to get my pencils to a good sharpness for the different grips I use when I draw.



The only caveat to this sharpener is you must hold the sharpener in one hand and the pencil in the other, unless you manage to secure it to your work surface. The motor is powerful that either the pencil or the sharpener will try and spin when you insert a pencil and it turns on. But if you secure both pencil and sharpener, it only takes one or two rotations for the pencil to be sharpened completely. Beware of over-sharpening, which will weaken your pencil and sometimes I have a tendency to do. Less is more with this unit.



I can't recommend this sharpener enough. It can be a little loud (but not loud enough to cause shock and awe, or be heard in the next room) but what pencil sharpener isn't? It's small, inexpensive, sharp, hard-working, and super-portable. For only a few dollars for than a cheapy plastic "do it yourself" model, it's an essential tool for any artist, student, household, or crafter.

This thing was a disaster, and I gave it a chance. Really, I did. A few years.... It simply chews up pencils. Just when you think it's almost sharp, snap! Broken lead, and somehow, it breaks the lead way down the shaft so you have to chew off another inch or two before you finally get something resembling a sharp pencil. So frustrating!



Oh, and don't even get me started on what happens to those broken leads! You have to take off the shaving-catcher/cover thing and get something like a toothpick to dislodge it while the darn blade keeps moving..... Arrrggghh! Then, when you try to put the cover back on, it feels as though it's going to break, (though in all fairness, it never did).



In. The. Trash. Can. Sharpened all 24 required pencils for my son's school by hand, thank you very much. - X-acto - Electric Pencil Sharpener - Battery-operate - Battery'

Healthy Eating - healthy eating, healthy living


I gave a copy of this book to my niece for making smoothies. After looking through it, I had to have one for myself for juicing recipes and smoothie recipes. The ingredient lists are minimal for great-tasting drinks. 500 Smoothies & Juices: The Only Smoothie & Juice Compendium You'll Ever Need (500 Cooking (Sellers))

This book contains LOADS (obviously 500 lol) of smoothies and juices -- my blender has been in use since I received it! Great book on this subject! Plenty of different blends! If you like using your blender for drinks: this is it!

I find this book very disappointing. The recipes are very repetitious, can basically be deduced by the title alone and are very high in calories. The "health tonics" are accompanied by claims that have little or no scientific basis. And, how many times do I need to be told to blend for one minute and serve immediately? 500, apparently. - Juice - Juicing - Healthy Living - Healthy Eating'

Kids Leaf Blower - toys, leaf blower


We bought this for my son at Walmart (after we first purchased the weed wacker), and he LOVES it! It is great quality and has held up between a 3 year old and 1 year old twins all fighting over it. He loves walking around the house pretending to help Daddy. Good price and much better quality than the Home Depot products! Black and Decker Junior Leaf Blower

I bought this toy from Walmart at the good price of $[...] for my grandson, who is crazy about garden tools. Unfortunately, after about an hour, he fell and dropped it on the driveway. It stopped working, but resumed after I changed the batteries. Three hours later, it stopped working again, so I thought it was awfully hard on batteries, and changed them again. This time, it didn't help. I can only conclude that there is a loose wire somewhere, perhaps caused by his fall. Anyway, I don't find it strongly enough made for the age group it is advertised for.

I was so excited to get the leaf blower after for my 1 and 1/2 year old son, but was disappointed after I found out that it does not actually blow. I thought that it would be really cool for my son to actually be able to blow leaves with his new toy. It does look the part and make a good sound, but does not actually work as I assumed from the item description of "realistic action". For the price I would have bought something else.

This is a pretty expensive toy, but the one thing my 2 1/2 year old wanted as his big potty reward. The reviews for the other brand of leaf blower were not very good so we went with this one. It works well, seems durable and is a big hit with my son. Although it was expensive, having my son potty trained before his baby sister arrives this month-- priceless!

My 3 year old son got it for Christmas and was very dissapointed. It make and whirling sound and has some lights. There is not a wiff of air blowing through the opening. Not comporable to the leaf blower. He did not like it. He has a vacaum cleaner that we got from Toy R Us for $30 that really works. Price is too high for the little value it provides.

The unfortunate part of this present was that it was the first present opened by a little 2 year old. Once the wrapping paper was removed and he saw what it was, everything and everyone else vanished and he spent most of the morning wearing his goggles and blowing everything in his path away. It took a lot of coaxing on the part of his parents to open the rest of his presents, but there were many weed blower breaks in between - but wearing the goggles for most of the rest of the party. I would say as far as this 2 year old was concerned, this present was rated a big fat 15. I'm not sure I would say it has a lot of educational value, but it sure has a lot of entertainment value.

My 2.5 year old won't put this blower down!!! He ran through the batteries the first night, and I expected the start button to fall off but this is a very durable toy. It is a great buy for the little ones that like to help. My son even slept with it :)

My son (3 yrs old) absolutely loves his blower and really wants to use the glasses that comes with it, but they are too small and leave marks all over his face (that's what i don't like about it). Otherwise, a really great tool and really encourages him to be a good helper around the house! As a result of this purchase, we had to get him the trimmer (at his request) also! - Toys - Toy Weed Trimmer - Leaf Blower'

Garage Door Opener Accesories - keypad, garage remote


I was looking to set up the availability of opening the garage door this way for a while now, but hadn't found the right control that would work with my garage opener. This one is perfect. You can control multiple doors with a single remote. I have 2 garage doors, and each one is programmed with a different sequence. I can open them individually.



You can close different doors individually by pressing the corresponding key sequence, or close all the doors that are open with a single push of the enter button. It works great.



The seller was great. A click away remotes did a no hassle return after I purchased the incorrect one the first time. This one only works with Liftmaster garage openers that have the purple learn button. And it is the only one I have found. I looked around.



If unsure, go to the liftmaster website for the product compatibility charts.



Awesome product, great experience with the seller. Liftmaster 377LM 315MHz Garage Door Keypad

We used to have the key switch on the side of our garage. We recently had an alarm system installed and one of the first things the installer did was tell us to remove it. When I asked why he showed me how easy it was to just pry the switch off of the garage and short the two wires together to open the door. I'd never thought about it. He recommended we install the wireless unit here. Amazon had a good price so I ordered it. Had it installed in about two minutes. "Training" it to our garage door opener was so easy I thought I'd missed something until it worked. The security issue is enough to make this worthwhile but boy is it convenient now when we want to open the garage and don't have keys because they're in the house. Well worth the money in my book. Steve, Honolulu

While I really didn't want to buy a new garage door opener, I was certainly pleased to find the exact same keypad $20 cheaper than the opener installer wanted to charge me. I am very pleased with the new keypad. Easy to install and use.

I mounted this on the side of my garage just around the corner from the garage door. It takes just seconds to program it to open using a 4-digit code you select. Then just punch in the code to open the door. You do not need to enter the code to close the door. This keypad installs using two provided screws and the easy-to-follow intallation and programming instructions. The instructions indicate that the battery should last at least a year before changing. The keypad comes with a standard 9V battery as well. Just make sure your opener is a 315 MHz SECURITY+ compatible opener (purple learn button and purple antenna). This keypad works great and I highly recommend it.

I recently purchased and installed the Liftmaster remote door panel. I needed a way for my son to get into the house without a key. I saw this product and thought it would work if I could install it and program it. It arrived in about 5 days. I installed it in approximately 5 minutes and programmed it in less then 30 seconds. Works flawlessly. Problem solved. Great product at a great price. RECOMMEND

I installed this unit on the garage a few weeks ago and it's great. This is the 3rd house I have added a keypad and these things just get cheaper and easier every time. I especially like that I can lower the garage door without first typing in the code. It also shipped unbelievably fast from the seller "ASPdoors and a wwhole lot more".

I bought this about 6 months ago and had no problems at all. It works every time. I have this unit placed outdoors and is exposed to rain, wind, humidity, heat, and the glaring sun!!! Built to last. Good buy!

The Liftmaster 377LM is easy to program, install and use. We have even used the temporary code feature to allow a contractor access to our garage. The instructions are located on the flip-up cover and are very easy to understand.

Plain and simple, this is a good opener for the money. The illumination (red) is a little dim, but is clearly visable when ambient light is low. It has the one button close feature which is nice so you don't have to punch the code every time you want to shut the door. I was able to open, install, and program this opener in about five minutes. It even comes with a battery. - Garage Remote - Keypad - Liftmaster - Garage Door Opener'

Small Flash Drive - cruzer, flash drive


It's quite small, but really slow.

On sequential write, the speed slowly goes up from 55k/s to 4.8M/s over the course of 1GB.

On small files, the write speed is even worse, it stays below 3M/s all the time.

This is incredibly slow for a modern usb stick.

Read is fine at about 20 M/s. SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

I had a SanDisk Cruzer Gator, SanDisk SDCZP-8192-A11BL 8GB Cruzer Gator (Black), which may have been the smallest SanDisk Flash Drive at the time. Unfortunately it only lasted 2 out of the 3 years of law school. I am careful but things (including my young boys) happen and even after some super-glue, the Cruzer Gator was no match for things (including my young boys). It now only works if I tweak it to one side and hold it there. It turns off the second I let go of it. Enter the SanDisk Blade. It has 16gb, is cheaper than my 8gb Gator, and is very sturdy. Unlike the Blade, the Gator's connector could move independent of its outer sleeve right out of the box. The connector on the Gator passed through a plastic sleeve and had a metal jacket around it. The connector on the Blade, on the other hand, integrates into the outer sleeve. As you can see in the picture the connector flows right into the sleeve making the Blade much stronger than the Gator. Overall, I am impressed with the size, capacity/price ratio, and sturdy design of the SanDisk Blade, and highly recommend it.

I just wanted to quickly say that this device has a cool design. It appears to be two very solid pieces of plastic, lacking the typical metal part that you'd insert into the USB port. As a result, it's very light. I like the colors. I do wish that it had some kind of LED light indicator, but not a big deal.



I DO recommend to people who use this to reformat it prior to use. I tried to use this in my car, and it was unrecognized, despite being FAT32. I reformatted the entire disk to FAT32, and then it worked without a problem.



Be warned that this device is so small and light, that you definitely run the risk of losing it in your bag or pockets. I highly recommend attaching something to the lanyard slot.

I purchased this drive because I wanted something small enough to fit on my key chain and carry around with me every day.



I have been very disappointed. Write speeds are terrible compared to my other drives (including other small drives), takes nearly 10 minutes to load a 1 GB file (issue was experienced across multiple PCs and Macs, so not a limitation of the computer I was using).



On top of the slowness, the key chain hole broke after less than a month.



Not impressed, only reason to consider this is if you want something very small, and even then it would be better to keep looking.

I've had mine for years now, not purchased through Amazon but I thought I'd give my two bits here after reading some of the reviews (please read my other reviews on some other flash drives to get somewhat of an idea if you're curious).

Here's, boiled down to a very generic level, what you really need in one of these things;

Store and transfer your stuff

Remain dependable



ANY of these drives could stop working at the drop of a hat, that's just the world we live in. Buyer beware on absolutely everything, all the time. Maybe in the 50's it was different, but we ain't in the 50's no more.



So bottom line here, this drive is small, tough and slow. I have done nothing but use this thing almost every day for music and movies at home and in cars. I have not babied it in anyway and it rattles around in my front pocket with change and whatever else might be in there. It's been dropped God knows how many times, through the wash a few times and left out in the sun to dry off after finding it in my shorts getting out of a pool. I think I've just explained my experiences about its toughness and durability.

It has no problem playing HD movies or FLAC files in real time, so say what you will about how slow download times are, and they are, but it's never had a problem keeping up reading those files. EVER.

So if you can find something to do while your info is loading on to the drive, maybe read and finish a Stephen King novel, re-enact the Civil War or build a mini Vatican City out of popsicle sticks, then hopefully you'll have the same luck I have with this thing. There really isn't a smaller device (HP v165w, but that thing heats up big time and HAS trouble with HD movies) for the capacity and the price. Seriously.

This is a very small flash drive:



1 5/8 inches long x 11/16 inches wide x 5/16 inches high



This small size allows these drives to be placed side by side, even when the USB ports are very close together. The small size also means that it is just that much easier to lose (or be stolen). At the back of it there is a hole that will allow you to connect it to a string or a strap.



A big drawback for me is the absence of an LED. Without this LED, you will not be sure when it is active, You will get no direct feedback from this Flash drive.



The manufacturer has deliberately omitted the read and write speeds of this drive. That is because they know that it can be a slow poke at times.



In making your purchasing decision, these are the key issues:



- Price (not the cheapest)

- Size (the smallest, but no LED)

- Speed (pretty slow)

I bought this because it was an excellent value for the storage space. And I thought the size was sort of a cool, low profile. But that proved to be a problem when I gave it to somebody, they put it in their shirt pocket and it was so low profile they forgot it was there. A couple of days later they realized they had lost it and couldn't find it anywhere. Here's the part that makes me give it 4-stars instead of 3. They put it through the washer and dryer before they found it and it still works. I've been using it for months since then with no problems in the functionality or construction. - Cruzer - Flash Drive - Sandisk - Usb Flash Drive'

Coming-of-age - funerals, mortician


when I read a book, about embalming its very important to me that I get all the imformation about the practice, tools, and various methods of arterial injection. this book was very clear on every one of those subjects. If you are planning on going into,the mortuary field, its A great book!!!! The Principals and Practices of Embalming

This is the Textbook for the Embalmer.Every apprentice and Funeral Director needs this book,even if they are not active embalmers. Professional embalmers readily have this text available. Most have this book tabbed and referenced for use. This book should be read before entering the preparation room. This book should also should not be read by the general public and needs specialized instruction. Many Embalmers will tell you that experience is a better teacher. I disagree. Recently I went through this book. Funeral Directors should refer to this book in their written notes about problem cases. They are the Experts and should always use the professional skills outlined here. Of particular utility, for both arrangers and embalmers is the section on drugs and embalming.

This book+experience=the professional embalmer. A good rule for the general public is to ask if this book is available, to their embalmer,IF THE FAMILY MAKES THE EMBALMING CHOICE. Often neglected is the excellent, technical section on restorative art.

I used the text as a Mortuary Science Department student at Cypress College,Orange Co. It was a real "eye-opener". The book became my bible. I'm sure I'll continue to learn from it. Although it may be a little "dry", it is extremely informative and detailed. Definitely for the person who respects the deceased and their loved ones; it is important for readers to have a certain emotional maturity.

I am a PA licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer. I studied at NCACC. Most of my embalming training was through hands on experience, the rest through Xerox copies of outdated texts. Also, there was the 1st edition of this book. I only found it useful to study the history section. This new version has not improved at all. This book covers the legal requirements and BORES you to "death", but it is not very practicle for embalming techniques. The title is very misleading. The Theory & Practice Sections you can rip out of the book. I reiterate: This book is only good for the History of Embalming (& perhaps some of the federal requirements too). If you want a good embalming text, ask your local funeral director to Xerox his old embalming book for you --just make sure It's not by Mayer!

I am currently a student at the American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Services in NYC and this is the textbook we use for our classes. I find the book very easy to follow and it makes the embalming and dying process, both Antemortem and Postmortem clear. I would definately recommend this book.

Since I am not a funeral director but have been interested in the profession (I used to work with friends on the east coast), I could not put the book down because it captured and sustained my interest. As a novice reader to the mortuary profession, I could not believe how much technical information you had to know. It is almost like becoming a physician. Although the diagrams/pictures were not in color, just having them spiked and fueled my interest -- with actual embalming techniques. Finally, my favorite unit was on embalming instruments. I highly respect morticians because of the administrative, logistical, creative, and artistic so-called 'hats' they must wear in order to do a professional service!

Upon reading the standard textbook for Funeral Services in Canada I wasn't satisfied with the large volume of text involved so I turned to Mayer's Theory History and Practice. This book is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the Funeral Services field. There are alot of visual representations and I found it to be very useful in helping with the 'hands on approach' needed to help perfect the embalming process. I hope more students and professionals start using this book as a reference.This book is not for the average individual interested in gore.

This is THE standard Mortuary text book used in most American Mortuary-Funeral Sciences classrooms. NOT intended for the casual or avid book reader. THIS IS A TEXTBOOK. Materials contained therin include legal and practical applications of the Mortuary Sciences. Mark Alan Harman-Buseman (BigRRFan@aol.com) - Embalming - Mortician - Funeral - Funerals'

Bathroom Hardware - solid, easy to use


For the last 20 years we have gotten by with the shower diverter that came with the hand-held spray we bought. It is the kind of diverter with a knob on top that you need to pull up to switch from shower to hand held sprayer. As the years went by, our hands grew weaker and the knob harder and harder to pull. Obviously, what we needed was a diverter operated by a lever instead of a pull knob (see Physics 01). I stopped by our local Ace Hardware, Home Depot, and Lowes stores hoping to find an all-metal diverter with a lever. All seemed to be going the way of supermarket shelving algorithms and to be not the least bit interested in helping semi-skilled homeowners solve problems.



I was just a bit hesitant to order the Alsons diverter because one of the nice touches of our current diverter is that it connects to the pipe coming out from the wall with a collar you can use to align the diverter vertically before you snug things up. Needless worry. I screwed the diverter on, used a crescent wrench to tighten it into a vertical position with just a little more than hand-tight force. I knew that if necessary to make "tight" and "vertical" coincide, I could add a layer or two of plumbing tape to adjust the fit. But the "thread gods" were with me and the diverter was snug with the sprayer hose outlet pointing the right way, down. I really shouldn't have worried. The diverter can only leak when I send water into the shower feed pipe instead of the tub and if it did the errant drops would just drop down into the tub.



Tried the shower right away. What an improvement! Switching between shower and hand-held spray required just a bit more force than the rotary selector switches on my electronic gear. Hard to fault the economics: 365 x 2 divided by < $20.00. Alsons 4922PK Shower Arm Diverter, Chrome

It's such a simple design that I can't believe that more companies have not come out with something similar to this. The standard design that most companies use for the water diverter leaves a lot to be desired. Those tend to leak from the outset & don't seem to last very long. There is no leakage problem with the Alsons 4922 PK water diverter & it's so easy to use. The price was right & seems to be very well constructed. Furthermore, since it was purchased on Amazon, I know that the service would have been first rate...and it was!

I had high hopes for this product but the one I received was defective. The valve did not close completely, so it did not divert all water from the fixed shower head. Because water continued flowing through the fixed shower head there was insufficient pressure to operate the hand-held shower. I am returning it in hopes that the replacement will work properly.



Just to follow up. Amazon was great, sending me a replacerment quickly. Unfortunately, the replacement had the same defect as the original. I recommend Amazon. I do not recommend this product.

Solid, sturdy metal, easy to operate lever.



Pay attention though, this is a 2 WAY diverter, NOT a 3 way. I wanted a 3 way diverter, got this one instead. If you put the lever half-way in-between, you get 2 half-off flows, not 2 'on' flows. But for what it is, it's great!

One of my children likes a fixed shower head, whereas the other prefers the hand-held type. A diverter can accommodate both. Also, a hand-held shower head makes cleaning of the tub easier. This diverter works very well so far. It is sturdy and the switch turns very easily.

I've had other valve options and researched many others. This arrived on time as expected and is very heavy and sturdy -- in a good way. I love it so far for its simplicity in switching back and forth between my regular shower and my waterpik massage. Does the job it says it will do and is reliable. I have encountered some real "junk" out there, both online and in the big box stores so beware of cheaper options. I am a picky person who likes quality and so far, I approve of this valve.

I had chosen my hand-held shower device because it came with an extra long hose that I find useful, especially when cleaning the tub. Right off I did not like the lever that switched the water flow from shower head to hand-held unit. It was plastic with sharp edges and a definite flimsy feel. Plus it was difficult to turn. I would always place a washcloth as a cushion between the lever and my fingers. Still I muddled along with it for a couple of years and then decided I better replace the valve before that cheap lever finally broke. I was dismayed to see the cost of this new valve, it is nearly what I paid for the entire hand-held setup. But now that I've installed it I am glad I went ahead with the purchase. Turning that easy to operate smooth chrome lever is a true pleasure. I did not use a wrench when I installed this new valve. I did use some gloves with rubberized gripping surfaces to tighten as much as I dared. The threaded thing that the hose attaches to ended up in the three o'clock position, instead of downwards, but that does not seem to be causing any problems. - Elder Care - Solid - Easy To Use - Bathroom Hardware'

Wow, as someone who has bought tall products all her life, I could not believe the lenghth when these arrived. I had to send them back. They were at least 4-6 inches too long and I could not even cuff and sew them to make them fit. (I have normally by 34-36" inseams). The company was great about taking them back and sending me regular lenghth though. And those are wonderful. Cherokee Workwear Scrubs 4101 Low Rise Flare Leg Scrub Pant (Black, S)

I love these bottoms! I'm a tall girl, (over six feet tall) and these are perfect for me. I never have found scrub bottoms that fit me right, but these do! I now own five pairs, and I plan on buying more. They are very comfortable, and they look great! A must have if you are tall, and are required to wear scrubs to work. :)

i am "petite," 5'0". it is so hard to find petite scrubs that i don't need to hem, these are the perfect legnth! the elastic in the back makes the draw string so much more comfartable! i will never buy any other type of scrub bottom as long as cherokee continues making this style.

These items apparently run very big (wide at the waist and long in the hem). My post baby body cargo pants size from stores like gap or old navy is usually a size 16/18. I ordered the XL Cherokee and they are so ridiculously huge that there is no way I could wear them. Friends that wear a size 8 in pants have finally told me that they actually buy a SMALL in the Cherokee scrub pants. Beware of the size of the items you order, 1 or 2 sizes smaller than you probably think you need. The material is very scratchy, cheap uniform type fabric. There are way better scrub companies to purchase from, I wouldn't recommend this brand.

These pants were ok! They were to big even though I got an extra small and yall might wanna wear seamless panties in these cause they show every line. On the other hand my friend has these and they fit her very well.

I ordered a bunch of scrub pants in medium because that was the size chart specifications. They are so long that I walk on them all day and they are SO HUGE that I have to roll them over 3 times at the top (which creates a nice bulge) and even with the rollover I still step on them. I won't order anything again without trying on the other sizes.

This is my favorite scrub pant because it comes in a Tall size. In jeans I wear a 36" inseam, so I have trouble finding pants long enough for me, and scrubs are no exception. But I found these several years ago, liked them a lot and have since ordered three more pairs. The price here is the best I have found, and I already had a pair, so I knew what size I wore. They are not kidding when they say these scrub pants run large. I usually wear a size 8 in jeans/dress pants, and I wear a small in this scrub pant. So order accordingly.

They arent as low rise as expected,about mid waist, but they fit and look great. I am 5'3 and 120 and the xs petite fit perfect, not too tight or too long. These will be the only scrub pants I will ever buy from now on, and the price is great.'

Inflatable Kayak - advanced elements, kayaking


I used my AF convertible kayak a few times without this and the first time I learned how important a bilge pump is. The second time without one I used the bilge pump alot. Now the third time my cover came and tried it out. Did not know there was a big storm that included a tornado touching down not to far from me, hail and very strong winds. The first half of the trip I stayed dry even with waves. When I was in the middle of the lake and the tornado alarms could be heard in the back and the winds were really kicking in and the rain. Very little water came in this things worked so well I could not be happier to have ordered this. But will say that if you are lucky enough to use your kayak in very calm waters then this may not be as important to you.
