Expandable Waist - dockers, khakis

I like these, though not as much as the previous iteration of these pants. The color fades pretty quickly but you can slow thos down by air drying them rather than putting them in the drier.Good budget clothing! Lee Men's Custom Fit Double Pleat Pant, Mid Khaki, 33W x 32L

Color selection in larger sizes too limited, size 44x34. Pants are definately not wrinkle free. See to be holding upwell. The expandable waist band s very comfortable. rice couldcome down for the qualty provided. - Khakis - Expandable Waist - Dockers - Flat Front'

Only Left Handed Reel

Visit Store Now !!

Great reel for the money! I've used this reel everyday for 3 weeks and no issues. I have seen on other websites that this reel has some issues but i have yet to find any i mostly use it for texas rigging and fishing other plastics. Cant be any happier for the quality and cost. Another great Abu Garcia reel in my opinion Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile Reel, 12-Pound/160-Yard Capacity, Left-Hand

This is a great fishing reel for the beginners to baitcasting, like myself. It has a fast retrieve rate, very smooth, and fairly easy to cast really far. The drags are very easy to use, and it doesn't just feel cheap when you pick it up. However, when I purchased my Abu Black Max, I ordered a standard right-handed reel, and was given a left-handed instead. Both options were listed on the purchase page, and this was supposed to be the right-hander. Oh well, I can use either hand, you use the left hand for spinning reels anyway.

I've had this reel about three weeks now. I use it two or three times a week and it has performed as good as my $150.-$225. reels. I like it so much, I ordered another one yesterday. If they last only a year, I'm ahead of the game. I wouldn't send it back to A.G. They charge as much for repairs as a new reel cost but this one will give you your money's worth.

Both reels are now trash.You can wash them and oil them but they still get corroded and stop working smoothly. Lasted only nine months. Not as good as I hoped.

So this is my 3rd baitcasting reel ever. My first was a diawa strikeforce 100h, and I had an old zebco. they were good reels, but they started acting up recently. So I decided to buy a black max. Best decision ever.

I've been told for a while Baitcasting reels are the hardest to learn, but the best out there. I've had spinning reels, high quality spincast reels, and a few other baitcasters. This takes the learning curve out of baitcasting. It just works. I love the flip switch, and it is just so smooth. such a great reel. I would reccomend this over the more expensive silver max any day. Abu garcia is a good name, and they make quality products. this reel is easily just as good as a 100-150$ reel. Just buy it.

Abu always has good prices for their stuff but this reel is better made then most for the price range. It performs as well as a decent $80+ reel and assuming you don't beat on your equipment like most bass fishing-weekend warriors do, it should last a few seasons despite what some less then good reviews I have read state. The drag and line guide are good and the magnetics are decent for the price. If you are like me and haven't thrown a bait caster in a few years and are looking to get back into it then this is the perfect reel. It is better then any other inexpensive entry level reel I have tested. If everything works out I will eventually keep this one as my backup and progress to a higher end caster possibly in the same brand.

Ive had a big problem with this reel I have got a left handed reel 3 times after ordering a right I called before I ordered this reel to make sure and still got left handed reels but amazon did make it right but a very bad situation WOULD NOT BUY!!!!!!!'

Aerobed Repair

Visit Store Now !!

tried a variety of *super* stick patch kits on a $150 aero bed and none worked. still not sure why or how I stumbled upon this product but it was the easiest of all the kits to apply and, stop the presses, IT WORKS!

I think the best part is that its transparent, that way you can see just how much this patch really flexes when the aero bed is inflated. That little puncture is 5 times as wide once the bed is blown up and this tear-aid stuff just stretches with it. no wonder river raft guides know all about it. Tear-Aid Repair Kit B

I ordered this product after trying several others to repair the holes in a vinyl, blow-up bouncy ball pit thing that my kids love to play and jump in. The thing takes a lot of abuse, so once it had some holes, I thought we'd have to get rid of it, but this product worked beautifully to patch the holes and has held up for several weeks now. I will be ordering more.

Tear will work IF you have a very flat surface with no seams. It will not work on any seam at all. It will let air under the tear aid and not seal.Tried 2 boxes and did not work.Still have the leaks and will have to use the glue and large patch kit.

I used this product to repair a tear on the side of the drivers seat. This is an area that is subject to a lot of flexing every time the vehicle is used. The area of the tear was rather difficult to get to, but once the patch was in place it seems to hold up well. Be sure to clean the patch area well before applying the tape and let it cure overnight.

So far so good. I will have to let you know in a year from now. The only comment is for the price, you would figure that there would be a greater amount. It was easy to put on. If it works like it is supposed to, then it was well worth the price.

We have a pop up pool, and discovered 4 medium sized rips on the bottom. We tried Tear-Aid Repair Kit B, and was amazed that it worked!! It's been about a month, and there have been no leaks detected! Also, a few weeks ago, a cat jumped up on the rim and it's nails put four small holes into, leaking out the air. We cut 4 square pieces and applied it, and the rim has stayed inflated!! This stuff is great!! It saved us from spending a bunch of money on a new pool. Will definately get a spare box to keep handy!!'

Speaker Systems - mini speakers, speakers

Visit Store Now !!

Alright, before I tell you how awesome this product is, let me preface with this: I was the media supervisor (oversaw mp3 accessories) before becoming the Home Theater supervisor at Best Buy for 3 years. In that time, I demo'd every speaker system from hand-held battery operated to full blown 7.2 systems that passed through those doors. I'm a speaker guy--I spent $6500 on subs for my car. This little $20 speaker is more than impressive. I don't work for Best Buy anymore but if I were there, you can believe that I would sell 10 of these a week in the off season. The mids and highs from this little speaker are exceptional. When hooked up to the iPhone, the distortion in audio is only evident at max volume. Even so, the loss of audio is minimal and not enough to make you turn it down--that occurs when it's just too loud for the area you are trying to fill with sound. In the month that this speaker has been in possession, it has been used outdoors, as the system on my mountain bike, and the radio for our hotel while traveling. In all of these instances, the little iHome speaker was turned down just a tad because it gets so loud. I can't wait to try it out during beach season where we compete with the wind and other radios. The bass is still nice. Although the low frequencies do not "quake" the ways the mids/highs "tweet", for it's size and price, you are still getting more than what you deserve. The quality of audio for a portable speaker system is phenomenal. If you consider the size vs. other portable systems, it's mind-boggling. Most of the stationary iPod docks I've sold over the years don't even compare to the sound you get out of this tiny speaker. The battery life is great; we took it on a trip to a 2 night festival and didn't not need to recharge it at all. I'm still using it off the same charge and it's had at least 8 hours of continuous play. The only con I've found so far is that since it's so small, when played at high volumes, the bass makes the thing almost jump off of hard surfaces. This cause the speaker to either move itself from where it was placed, or cause an unpleasing sound with your tunes. The couple of times this has been an issue (and one I really don't mind), I simply placed a piece of fabric beneath it to absorb the vibrations. I'm a speaker guy. If I had to choose a speaker to demo for people to "wow" them, I would normally choose my Eclipse Titanium subs. I now impress people with this tiny little speaker! This is going to be the gift I give to people until I find another phenomenal product to take its place. If you are looking for a compact unit with clear, loud sound...look no further. This thing is amazing. I would not be shocked if they were charging $80 for this portable system. It seems really durable, but we've only owned it a month. Short of falling to pieces next week, I can't imagine this product not receiving 5 stars from every user. Don't think about buying this product and just BUY IT. You will not be disappointed. Best portable speaker I have ever come across, no doubt. iHome iHM60 Rechargeable Mini Speakers for iPod (Red)

I've barely had this speaker for a little while and I'm raving about it. It charged within 30 minutes (WOW!!), and its bass quality and response is AMAZING. It can handle full bass on around 98% volume from my iPod without giving me any scratchiness! Its general sound for music ranging from classical to rap simply blows me away. Literally.

Overall, this product is just what I needed-a small, portable speaker with decent sound-at an affordable price. The sound is more than decent, and it also works great with vocal podcasts. Clarity of sound is truly amazing.

Its only drawback is that it charges and plays music through the same cable, so you have a bulky USB dongol on one end, in addition to the standard 3.5mm jack at the same end of the cord. All audio is routed through the USB cable, but it won't play audio from your USB-enabled computer.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a small, affordable speaker.

Unbelievable mono sound, volume and clarity in such a small package. Had to lower my netbook volume to bare minimum. Pumped up, you could fill a huge room with clear sound. Collapses to approx 2" x 2" for storage or travel. Compared to the Altec-Lansing Orbit Mono - this is a steal. My Toshiba NB205 Netbook only puts out very weak mono but this speaker makes it fully capable of doing full presentations in a huge room. Can't recommend it too highly.

P.S. The Lowepro 1S camera lens case will carry the speaker extended and the case has a pouch in the top for the cables. $9.99 delivered from Sell N Send.

I have the same problem as another reviewer here where when the unit is plugged in to the USB port and the headphones jack, it gives off a horrible buzzing noise that overwhelms whatever you're listening to. I had seen only one review with this problem so I really hoped that the odds were in my favor, but no such luck. It's getting returned first thing tomorrow :(. Maybe it's only the red ones. - Speakers - Speaker Systems - Mini Speakers - Ipod Speakers'

Science Fiction - movie history, book

Visit Store Now !!

I collect books which claim to contain The Best 100/1000 of film, so believe me when I tell you that this is a good one. Created by the people who did 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (which I own and have reviewed), this version avoids many of the problems that claim the bigger version:

Unlike 1001 Movies, this one does not only appeal to cineastes. Instead of seemingly including every foreign film that was ever made regardless of quality, it strikes a balanced chord between American and international pictures. It also has an appropriate ratio of edgier artistic films (2001: A Space Odyssey, La Jetee, Alphaville, etc.) and mainstream successes (Star Wars IV-VI, Independence Day, Them!) without condescending to the latter.

Artistically and aesthetically the book is also a success. Each film gets the same amount of space (one of the problems with 1001 movies was that some films got 2 pages worth and others a paragraph or two) as well as a beautiful color poster and screenshot, making it not only informative but really quite pleasant to look at. The different authors use radically different tones (from intellectual discussion of reactionary vs. progressive to less scholarly examination of riveting chase scenes) which can be jarring at times, but it always makes for interesting reading, whether you agree or not.

The people who wrote this book clearly love movies (something that oddly cannot be said for all such works) and mainly avoid the lazy errors that often plague the genre. My only real complaint is I wish they had listed the running length of each film, but that's hardly a major concern. Basically, for 10 dollars you get a beautiful, full color illustrated (I actually washed my hands before reading it to avoid smudges, and I'm not a fastidious person) well-written treatise on 100 great Sci-fi movies from Voyage to the Moon to Children of Men, and that's really quite a good deal. You won't agree with or have seen all 100, but then again it would be quite a boring book if you had. 101 Sci-Fi Movies You Must See Before You Die

I am a major film buff and received 101 SCI-FI MOVIES YOU MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE as a gift from a friend. The 101 movies covered in the book are listed in the order of their initial theatrical release: the first movie discussed, VOYAGE TO THE MOON came out in 1902, and the last movie talked about, CHILDREN OF MEN came out in 2006. The first page for entry contains the movie poster for the film. That's followed by a two-page discussion of the movie with the discussion containing at least a brief a synopsis. The last part of each entry is a screen shot from the film. The movies chosen come from just about every sci-fi branch: there's a nice balance between American and foreign films, between big budget Hollywood blockbusters and low budget indies, between old and new. There are at least a couple sci-fi animated pictures, some of sci-fi comedies, a few sci-fi horror films, lots of sci-fi dramas, and all kinds of sci-fi action films. The book strikes a nice balance between movies everyone's heard of (e.g. STAR WARS) and pictures that even a longtime film buff like myself never knew existed (e.g. TETSUO). There are some movies that will make you scratch your head and wonder why they were included but it can make for a good discussion. For instance personally I thought THE FIFTH ELEMENT was a disaster of a film and though I enjoyed STARSHIP TROOPERS and I, ROBOT, I wouldn't list them as being one of the 101 Sci-fi films you should watch before you die.

The movies listed in the book are:

VOYAGE TO THE MOON*A TRIP TO MARS*AELITA*PARIS ASLEEP*METROPOLIS*THE INVISIBLE MAN*THINGS TO COME*THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD*WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE*THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL*INVADERS FROM MARS*IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE*THE WAR OF THE WORLDS*THEM!*GOJIRA*20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA*INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS*FORBIDDEN PLANET*THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN*

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH*THE TIME MACHINE*THE AMPIBIAN MAN*LA JETÉE*ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS*ALPHAVILLE*THE TENTH VICTIM*

FAHRENHEIT 451*SECONDS*FANTASTIC VOYAGE*WHO KILLED JESSIE?*

QUATERMASS AND THE PIT*PLANET OF THE APES*2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY*

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE*THX 1138*SILENT RUNNING*SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE*

SOLARIS*FANTASTIC PLANET*SLEEPER*SOYLENT GREEN*WESTWORLD*

DARK STAR*THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH*LOGAN'S RUN*

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND*STAR WARS*STALKER*

THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET*1984*THE TERMINATOR*DUNE*

STARMAN*BRAZIL*BACK TO THE FUTURE*THE QUIET EARTH*ALIENS*

STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME*PREDATOR*ROBOCOP*AKIRA*

THE NAVIGATOR*TETSEO*THE ABYSS*TOTAL RECALL*

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY*JURASSIC PARK*GHOST IN THE SHELL*

12 MONKEYS*INDEPENDCE DAY*THE FIFTH ELEMENT*MEN IN BLACK*

GATTACA*STARSHIP TROOPERS*OPEN YOUR EYES*'*THE MATRIX*

GALAXY QUEST*SIGNS*CODE 46*PRIMER*ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND*I, ROBOT*THE HOST*CHILDREN OF MEN*

Overall, 101 SCI-FI MOVIES YOU MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE is a great movie book that film buffs and those who like sci-fi movies will enjoy reading.

I do like the book, but I feel that some of the reviews are too short. What I don't like is the printing itself, the text is not black enough and the paper is glossy and this makes it kind of difficult to read.

Well I can't say that there aren't 101 films listed here. This is a quick and easy read. I am disappointed that it picked so few films from the 80's and seems to have a hazy line between horror and sci-fi. Village of the Damned is a huge misfire!

The book is a descent survey of science fiction films. Although small in dimension, it has some good photos and poster reproduction. My main complain with the book is that some of the films list (especially those that are more recent) are a little shy of must-sees. A perfect example is "I, Robot" the 2004 film with Will Smith. Its aggregate rating percentage at Rottentomatoes is only 58% percent (only 40% from their list of top critics) so it is far from a must-see, let alone one you would regret not seeing on your death bed. - Science Fiction - Book - Movie History - Reviews'

Cordless Tool - power tools, black and decker

I needed an inexpensive drill to ship to my Mom's house for incidental repairs while visiting. After a lot of searching, this drill seemed to fit the bill and it included an extra battery, drill bits and a hard case. Unfortunately, considering it is an 18-volt drill, I was surprised at the lack of power and total absence of torque. It's really a glorified electric screwdriver, not suitable for any heavy duty DIY use whatsoever.

Track And Field - soccer, bowling

Visit Store Now !!

I just got finished playing all of the sports in Kinect Sports and here is my evaluation:

1. Track & Field: This area includes a variety of different activities that work well with the basic body movements the Kinect can control. These include running , jumping, and throwing things (javelins & discus). I think young and old would both have fun with this! This may actually be my favorite activity in this game.

2. Bowling: Not as much control as Wi Sports bowling--but it is actually feels more like bowling when you can just stick your hand out to pick up the ball and then swing your arm to bowl. No controller to hold on to or push buttons. Once again this is an activity that would appeal to both young and old. Personally, I still like the bowling in Wii Sports better because of the more precise control.

3. Boxing: I like this better than the Wii Sports Boxing--but there is still some lag time and I just don't get the feel that all my moves are translating accurately. Plus, like an earlier reveiwer indicated it seems like punching wildly is actually a winning approach in this game. I do like how you can just hold your arms up to block--this felt very natural. I'm waiting for the Kick Boxing version because when you kick your legs in this activity your avatar kicks its legs--but they don't seem to translate to "hits" in the game.

4. Beach Volleyball: This one will take some time to master. It can get a bit confusing because there are several different techniques involved--jumping, hitting, and blocking. If you're tall--make sure you don't have a ceiling fan above you--or at least make sure it's not on!

5. Table Tennis: Once again it was fun to play without a controller in my hand but I felt there were a few times when the intensity of my hits were not reflected in what actually happened on screen. For example, when an opportunity comes up for a "smash" the game announces it and then actually does it regardless of whether I swung harder or not.

6. Soccer: Fun and interesting. You don't have to run around the field yourself. Your player magically appears where the ball is kicked to. Simple body movements control your kicks and blocks. Gray directional lines on the screen show the directionally options when kicking and your location when blocking.

Throughout the games the Kinect takes photos and short videos of your movements. These are played at the end of each game. The images are saved so you can share them with others. This feature will appeal to some and not to others. For example, I find the images of my son interesting and humorous--but I need to find out how to erase the images of me!

Adding a second player was extremely easy. If I wanted to join my son all I had to do was step in front of the TV and the Kinect added me to the in-play game. The graphics are also much better than the Wii! Kinect Sports looked great on a 40" HDTV. We don't even play the Wii on this TV because of how bad it looks.

Bottom line: If you have an XBOX already--adding the Kinect and Kinect Sports really adds a nice dimension to your video game experience. If you have young kids or older folks that have trouble remembering what buttons to push on a remote--it doesn't get any easier than the Kinect.

P.S. It is a neat and strange sensation to be standing in front of your TV and the avatar on the screen is doing the same movements that you are. You can sway, move your arms and legs, and dance, and the avatar mimics it. This alone makes for good entertainment! Kinect Sports

This game is a lot of fun, my favorite out of the 5 games I have purchased at launch. Soccer is hilarious, basically you pass the ball down the field (choosing from a left pass, right pass or straight pass), while your opponent attempts to block the pass. Once you get past defenders and are 1v1 with the goalie you can shoot, and your opponent can try to save. It sounds simple enough but the camera is very responsive and the game gets frenetic and fun while playing. There are also opportunities for throw ins, corner kicks and headers etc, but the nuts and bolts is the simple pass and shoot.

Next there is bowling, which is a lot of fun and again the camera is very responsive.

Track and field has 5 events. Sprint, pretty basic....run in place. Next is Javelin Throw, also fun. Then there is the long jump, which is cool. Following that is discus, actually very lame, could not consistantly get good flights from discus. Lastly is hurdles, not really all that fun, but ok.

Next up is Boxing. Boxing is ok, but by far the most effective tactic is throw wildly rather than take a methodical approach...that actually kind of ruins it for me, I wanted something a little more strategy and skill based.

Beach Volleyball is a lot of fun, but it really seems the most forgiving with its camera response. I feel like a lot of times if you are just in the general viscinity it will count as a bump. Scoring can take a lot of volleys but I guess that is ok.

Last is Table Tennis. Response is pretty good not much variation in shots and putting spin seems rather difficult.

There are also minigames for many of the sports listed, helps keep the replay up. The comparisons to the Wii SPorts are inevitable and in all honesty, besides the superior graphics of the xbox, the comparison is merited. The thing that really gives this title the one up may or may not have anything to do with the game itself. The Kinect camera I think is what sets this game apart. You can play in darkness in the middle of the living room, you can play with people of all sizes (I have two kids that played and it calibrated them seamlessly), the camera really responds! The funny replays at the end of each event is awesome too, you really look completely foolish playing these games and the playback is a helpful reminder not to take these games too serious! This title is worth the $50, some of the other games you can just rent (fighters uncaged, sonic riders etc). Great Party Game, Great to play with kids, and a great guilty pleasure to just play by yourself! Online play is supported too by the way, so a great way to meet some new people. - Ping Pong - Track And Field - Bowling - Soccer'
