Cramer Sports Motion Tape - Case

I was looking for a tape that could stay in place for up to 5 days( through showering ect.) , after trying a tape called KT tape at Big 5 outlet that was throwing money away. So I searched online before an upcoming 2 day class on kinesio taping so I could get a jump start. After taking the class I can now rate the the Cramer F Sports Motion tape as as effective as any I have found to date.

Grabber Outdoors Pop Up Field Hat and Headnet Thin/Lightweight With Storage Bag- Green Medium

I purchased this hat for my husband, who is an avid gardener. He tried several other hats that only provided minimal protection from insects. He tried other hats with detachable netting, but it always slips out of place while working and the pesky insects can easily get under the netting. This hat solves that problem with the netting sewn onto the rim (holding the netting in place)! The netting can be flipped up over the rim when it isn't needed. My husband and I highly recommend this hat!:)

The hat is amazing. You drop the bug net and you can keep hiking or fishing no matter how thick the black flies are. It folds up to a tiny size so its easy to store and carry with you. It does get a little hot because its synthetic but its ok because you can just take if off once in a while to cool down. Once you get used to wearing the net bugs are no longer a factor. Be careful if you see a dog. Lift the net or they get scared.

First, the good is that the hat does work to keep those incredibly annoying little flies out of my face and ears. However there are several aspects that could make this hat better.

1. The edge of the brim has a wire, which allows the hat to collapse or pop open like a car shade. This also prevents the brim from laying flat (think of the shape of a pringle).

2. The mesh is dark and somewhat hard to see through

3. The materials used have an intense odor of plastic or something chemical. Hopefully this will dissipate over time.

Overall, I'll take this product rather than the bugs, but at the same time, I would pay more for a hat that better suited my needs.

P.S. I wear a size 7 inch baseball hat and the medium in this hat fit fine.

I originally was just going to buy a head net until I discovered this hat. This is a hat and net in one and folds up so its real convenient to keep in a bag just in case you need it. It looks nice enough and works great, and the hat can keep the sun off your head as a bonus.

Perfect for keeping the insects from attacking the head, face, and neck -we live in a wooded area. Brim provides good space between face and netting. Easy to pull netting up and just wear hat. Folds easily for easy carrying.

I have to give medicines and supplements to a Cockatiel. Oral syringes tend to bind and stick fairly quickly. I needed a good supply of oral syringes which work smoothly. These individually packaged oral syringes have been great. They are smooth and don't end up binding nearly as quickly as many syringes I have used in the past. I am very pleaseld with these syringes.

They were exactly what I needed to dose my animals with frontline. These would be good for wormers for animals also.

Stérimar Nasal Hygiene Set of 2x100ml

I love this product, it works great for my allergies. Used to use Afrin Pure Sea, it is not sold on the market anymore, this product is from the company Afrin got their product from. Been using this for over 3 years and my nasal allergies are 100% better. Super excited I can finally use this cleanse again

It is just sea water. The gas charge gets the solution where it needs to go without making a big mess. Much neater than Neti Pot and those plastic squirt bottles like Ayr. And if it is easy to use and not messy you will use it more. It has kept me from having my routine sinus infections. It has already paid for itself in avoidance of doctor copays.

3m Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing - 4" x 4-3/4"

We use this product over an Omnipod Insulin Pump (the pod part on the body) and it works like magic! It stays on our 3 days and helps keep the insertion site from getting snagged on clothing, it helps it feel more "secure" and helps with keeping things waterproof. We love these & the added sense of security is worth the money. This is the CHEAPEST we have found them & we searched LONG and hard! Great item. We like this better than Smith & Nephew's IV3000 (although that's a close 2nd).

my sister had surgery 2 months ago. she is alergic to adhesives and medical tapes. she can only use tegaderm dressings. unfortunately her wound is not healing and she needs to have her dressing changed 3 times a day. the dressings are $15 for 4 dressings in stores. thankfully i found these on amazon, 50 pcs for under $40.

Buy 3m Tegaderm Transparent Film Dressing - 4" x 4-3/4" Now

...between the sometimes slightly more and sometimes immensely more expensive 3M-1626 pictured here and the 3M-1626W dressings? The descriptions appear to be the same, but I have yet to find anyone comparing the two for differences in quality that would justify the range of expense. I've never had the 1626W in hand to see if it is good enough to hold on medicinal patches as well as the 1626. A RAPID response would be greatly appreciated. The only problem I have with the 1626 is the expense. I hadn't noticed the 1626W until today and my supply is running out. I would love to know what the difference is today, if possible, since I would like to purchase an order tonite.

THANKS IF ANYONE CAN HELP!

Nurse Pocket Organizer Kit in Black

Very fast shipping, I received it days before it was suppose to arrive. Item was exactly as described. Pen light was an LED light which is a lot better than the standard pen light.

I purchased these for my wife who is in nursing school. The are practical but they do smell at first. I would suggest you leave it outside or in the garage for a bit.

The scissors and the pocket itself is the only worth it. The light didn't work and the pen didn't either.

Tactical First Response Kit - Advanced by Rescue Essentials

The Tactical First Response Kit Advanced by Rescue Essentials is designed and advertised to treat severe bleeding and for the most part contains good quality material. This "Advanced" kit, although more expensive, is vastly superior the their "Basic" kit.

The contents of this kit include the following:

1 Pair of Black Talon Nitrile Gloves

1 Laerdal CPR Face Mask

1 EMT Shears

1 SWAT Tourniquet

1 Celox 35g Pouch

1 4 inch Emergency Pressure Dressing

1 Trauma 5x9 Pad

1 Compressed Gauze

1 Hyfin Chest Seal

1 Combat Medic Reinforcement Tape

The package is vacuum sealed, easy to open, and can be carried in a BDU pocket. The one piece of equipment that is lacking in this kit is a good quality tourniquet. The SWAT tourniquet should be replaced with the more effective and combat proven C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet Black by North American Rescue Brand.

Positives of this kit include:

+ Quality Nitrile gloves are excellent gloves that are strong and durable to protect against Bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis or HIV/AIDS. I do recommend having a minimum of two pairs of gloves in case one of the gloves tears or you need to treat multiple individuals. These gloves are strong but still capable of becoming damaged. Carry an extra set of gloves.

+ The Combat Medic Reinforcement Tape is effective and holds well.

+ The Hfyin Chest Seal works very effectively on sucking chest wounds.

+ The Celox pouch is very effective for stopping severe bleeding

+ Contains a quality 4 in. Emergency Trauma Dressing

I recommend this kit with the caveat that you upgrade to the C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet Black by North American Rescue Brand and an extra set of Nitrile gloves.

ADC Trauma Bag, Orange

The bag itself is a little smaller than pictured. Not that much bigger than a soft-sided cooler that holds 16 beverage cans. With that said,..now on to the main review.

the bag is made of 800 denier nylon or so they say, seems more like 400. It has some type of water resistent coating on the inside of exposed areas, but in my test it is fair at best for water repell, i wouldnt use the bag in the rain(more on that later). The bag has a very nice padded carry handle and a decent adjustable shoulder strap. It also has a padded bottom. It has two side zippered pockets that can handle a couple of dozen gauze pads each. These are zippered. There are two expandable pouches on the front. Since they are not zippered, i would only use these for items that are already sealed,prepackaged items such as antiseptic, water-gel,etc, as they will probably get wet. Above these pockets are eight elastic holders for whatever you may want to use them for. The top flap of the bag has an internal zipper that allows storage in the entire bag lid, great for items such as space blankets that you don't use all of the time. It has two buckles and a velcro strip that attach to the lower end of the bag. Two inside flaps that cover the inside of the bag close with velcro, no zipper!! The interior of the bag is about 12x9x9. That is without the adjustable insert. Inside of the bag is a three way divider for the bag, look for it at the bottom, i almost missed it!!LOL. The divider is very well padded to provide separation on the inside. You can adjust it to suit you, but the standard dimentions for the three compartments are, 12x5, and two 6x4.

The problems i have: The compartments should be zippered. More orginizational slots. water resistant. A little bigger. No EMS designation, plain bag. Handle does not sit square when bag is loaded. Should have a zippered pocket on the back. At worst you can always use it as an overnight bag!! It lacks the true EMS organization and expandability, but for $30 it's still great if you just want to throw your stuff in a bag. Look at the pictures on adctoday.com before you buy so that you can see it better. all in all it's an ok bag, but far from great. Hope this review help fellow Amazoners!!

For a very basic first aid kit it is fine. I have it in the boot of my car and it it stocked to the brim with the basics for my skill set (Paramedic). I would not use this on a regular basis and in no way would it be practical for work but for around the home, in the car or for short trips it is fine. I have not experienced any problems with the buckles, grips or straps and all seem to be in good order. The storage system is fine for the basics. Mine hold 1L nrm saline, cannulation for 3ppl, ample pads and bandges, steth, OPs (neo to adult)/ no real room for ETT maybe LMA, emesis bags, trauma gears, temp, cuffs 3 size and basic drugs (very basic). It would be fine for about one/ two jobs (nothing major i.e.: plane vs train vs bus).

First Aid Beauty Daily Face Cream 2 oz

This product is great as a daytime moisturizer and is gentle on sensitive skin. If you have very dry skin, I would recommend First Aid Beauty 'Ultra Repair Cream'. My skin is dry and I went through this little bottle in about one month. It did produce good results and I would recommend it to someone with sensitive skin.

I'm a guy, so what do I know? But I'm a guy with sensitive skin, especially around the face where I hack at it every day with a razor. This is my go-to skin cream to keep my face as smooth as a baby's bottom, to repair the depredations of the razor, and to defy age.

This daily lotion is so smooth and creamy without being greasy. I have very dry, mature skin and this has a wonderful texture. It goes on very light and feels great. It is non-comedigenic and my makeup goes on very nicely and stays nice all day. It is not gummy or too emollient just right! Also, I have spent so much money on more expensive creams with little result. This product is very reasonably pricedanother bonus!

When I moved from Washington DC to Denver my already dry combination skin became unmanageable, and this wonder product finally helped my face out! I started using this company's products a few winters ago when my cheekbones were drying and cracking to the point of bleeding and scabs, in addition to some spotty blushes due to acne scars, and their Anti Redness Cream healed all of it right up. This product helps me moisturize my dry skin without clogging my pores for a potential breakout nor cause me any allergic rashes! Used in conjunction for about a month with First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 5 oz my face is brighter and healthier looking than it has been in 8 years! I get complements for how great my skin looks constantly. It's also light enough to use to blend make up withinstant moisturizing foundation!

I have very, very moody combination skin and this has always treated me right. It is lightweight and my makeup goes over it flawlessly and doesn't turn oily. I also have extremely sensitive acne prone skin, so I was really wary about trying something new, but I couldn't be happier that I did. I'd been using Korres pomegranate moisturizer for years but had an awful reaction to an expired jar that took nearly a year to clear up. I use a night cream (caudalie moisture mask) in the winter months, or if my skin is dry to give it a boost, but this is my every morning cream and I couldn't be happer with it.

Duracell Rechargeables StayCharged AA Batteries, 4-Count

[Update Aug 28, 2011]

The name of this product has been changed to Duracell Rechargeables StayCharged AA Batteries. As far as I can tell, those are the same batteries previously marketed as 'Pre-Charged'. In other parts of the world, those are also marketed as 'Active Charge'. They are stlll available in either 'white top' (made in Japan) and 'black top' (made in China) versions.

Amazon has combined the AA and AAA versions of those Duracell batteries into the same product page. So now I look like a fool who says the same things twice. Oh well...

[Previous update on Dec 24, 2008]

I was only half-right when I boldly proclaimed that "Duracell Pre Charged AA are rebranded Sanyo eneloop cells" in my original review. It turns out that the first batch of Duracell AA cells I bought from Amazon are made in Japan, and those are identical to eneloop (both mechanically and electrically). But lately I bought some more Duracell AA from a warehouse club. Those are made in China, and they are identical to the Rayovac Hybrid.

[Original review follows]

Judging from similarity of technical specifications and physical shapes of (+) and (-) terminals, I am convinced that the Duracell Pre Charged AA is actually SANYO eneloop AA underneath a different wrapper. Therefore all the good things you heard about eneloop apply to Duracell 'Pre Charged', too.

My own testing has shown that the capacity of eneloop AA cell is slightly above the claimed 2000mAh, and it is able to retain at least 85% of its charge after 5 months in storage. The Rayovac Hybrid AA starts with slightly higher capacity at 2100mAh, but it 'only' retains 80% capacity after 5 months. For all practical applications, both are equally good. Just pick whichever brand (Sanyo, Rayovac, or Duracell) is on-sale, and you can't go wrong.

One small problem with the Duracell 'Pre Charged' cell is that: it looked too similar to the well-known 'Copper Top' alkaline cell. So there is a good chance that people may mistaken it for a disposable cell. Personally, I prefer the distinctive-looking white case of the eneloop cell.

Pros:

-For a rechargeable battery, these batteries does not need to be charged before you use it for the first time; right from the packaging into your gadgets.

-They last a long time.

-Does not need special charger. You can use your existing NiMh charger.

Cons:

-You can confuse them with regular Duracells and mistakenly thrown away after losing charge.

-This later technology is still expensive.

I also like Eneloops by Sanyo. But they are not easily available at your local stores.

But lately I bought some more Duracell AAA from a warehouse club. Those are made in China, and they are identical to the Rayovac Hybrid (see my scan in the Customer Images section). Note that the Rayovac Hybrid AAA has an average capacity of about 780mAh (compared to about 830mAh for eneloop AAA), so is not as good a value.

I have been using these for a few months in my camera, Logitech Harmony remote, and in my Wii remotes and they have been great.

However, I was looking at batteries at Walmart today and noticed their new stock of Duracell Precharged batteries are being made in China and no longer have a white cap. They shoved the Japan made white cap batteries to the back of the shelf. This makes me think they are no longer Eneloops. I am a little nervous to buy another set of these as the only reason to make that switch in my opinion is to save money yet charge the consumer the same. This usually leads to an inferior product. The originals I have are made in Japan.

Anyway, maybe the battery review guru of Amazon will do a little comparison test of these new China made precharged batteries vs the Japan made batteries that seemed awfully similar to the Eneloops. I really hope the new version stands up to the old.

First, the disclaimer: There is no political motivation in this review. It is purely based on the findings of my measurement and facts. I hope no one should be offended.

I purchased three packs of these batteries. I found that one pack says "Made in Japan" and the other two "Made in China" in the back of package. Otherwise, the packaging is almost identical. There is, however, a very clear distinction on the battery itself. The Japanese made batteries have a white top while the Chinese made have a black top as shown in one of the photos I uploaded.

I was curious to see if there is a performance difference between the same line of batteries from different manufacturing plants. I have a La Crosse BC-700. So I put all three set into test mode, straight out of the package without any prior use. After 24 hours of measurements, the results are shown in the photos I uploaded.

The 8 batteries made in the Chinese factory averaged 790 mah. That is within 1.25% of the stated capacity. However, I found the variation among the samples is somewhat large, from 774 to 825.

The 4 batteries made in the Japanese factory averaged 834 mah. But more impressively, all samples were within the 832-838 range. This is an important characteristic because when you use multiple batteries in a device, the total capacity available is limited by the lowest one in the group.

I conclude that no matter where where these batteries are made, they at least meet expectation. With that said, I would prefer the "white top" batteries that are made in the Japanese factory. They are extremely consistent and offer higher capacity.
