Arbor Abacus Snowboard 2009
The Arbor Abacus Snowboard is a true form-follows-function powder stick designed knowing that 100% pow days are few and far between. A structural Lacewood top, tapered shape, set back stance, and kinked sidecut deliver performance in mixed conditions and on varied terrain. The fluidic, backseat fis…

The Abacus rekindled my stoke!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Carving Ability, Smooth Stability, Lightweight, Tough

Best Uses: Freeriding, Speed, Powder

Reviewer Comments: I rode the Abacus for the first time at Mt. Bachelor in the trees. They had a nice layer of fresh, but on my standard board I was breaking through to an ice layer below. With a 164 Abacus I was floating on the good stuff and with the tapered tail I was still able to make tight turns in the trees. It was also good for soul carves on the groomers. Then I rode it at Crystal Mt., which had a good 18 inches of heavy fresh on a pow base, and took it into some steep sections, pillows and drops and it was solid. I think it takes some getting used to on drops, like you have to lean forward a bit more than normal because the nose is there for you. It is sooooo fun in deep snow to be on top of your turns! Riding switch….probably not so much but it would be cool to fully reverse the stance and learn to ride the opposite way. And because of the powder specific geometry your new back leg would be getting some training assistance. Super fun board! Stable and light and it reminds me of how fun a simple turn can be!

Black Kitty Costume
Black cat cross your path? Don’t worry—this black cat costume is lucky! Comfy, too, because our purrfect jumpsuit feels soft as a Persian cat (it’s made of silky “eyelash fur”). Includes headpiece and Velcro®-attached tail. Hand wash. 100% polyester. Imported.

Costume runs small

4 stars
4out of 5

Gift: No

Pros: Lightweight, Fun

Cons: Easily Outgrown, Poor Fit

Best Uses: Halloween

Reviewer Comments: This costume runs small. I bought the 12-18 month size.

My daughter is 15 months and she is less than 50% of the national weight and height average … not even 20 lbs yet.

This costume just barely fits her without any clothes underneath.

it is adorable and we’re going to use it … but if your 12-18 month old isnt on the small side, I would recommend going the next size up — especially if you are going to have heavy clothing underneath.

should give you an idea of the material texture

Grossferatu
Whacked out in sniveling style, Grossferatu is sure to scare. Our most popular foam filled latex prop. Approximately 2 feet tall, 19 inches long, and 17 inches wide.

Great teeth…he must brush every day!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Fun To Use, Unique, Scary, Durable

Best Uses: Anytime, Halloween, Friend To Talk To

Reviewer Comments: This prop, who I affectionately call “Fred,” is nothing but great. He works well for Halloween, freaks people out when they come over to visit, which means he does his job well year round. Fred is very well built and the details of his face & body look great in any light.

Hanging out with Fred and Spasm on Halloween.

Great for even the youngest Colt Fan!

4 stars
4out of 5

Gift: No

Pros: Unique Item, Love the realistic helmet

Cons: Jersey construction

Best Uses: Halloween Costume, Pretend Play, Daily Use

Reviewer Comments: After reading reviews for this product on other web sites, I decided to purchase this in XS for my 2-1/2 year old son. He is always trying to wear his old brother’s football helmet & pads. This was perfect. He feels like he’s a real player. The pants are small enough to fit his waist, but look like regular length pants. I’m sure on a 4-7 year old, they would look great. The jersey top is OK in construction, not as nice as a regular jersey material. It runs a little bigger. If your child is on the taller/bigger side, I would definitely go with the larger size. The helmet is great. It’s hard plastic, and more authentic than the blow up ones offered with other child size Halloween costumes. I’m sure my son will be dressing up in this outfit for a few more years, as long as he doesn’t wear it out sooner. I had to hide the outfit until Halloween, so that it would still look new.

Wacky Spider Costume
Watch out Little Miss Muffet! Baby’s itsy, bitsy, and cute in our cuddly spider bubblesuit, with eight jiggly legs and bug-eyed headpiece. Very easy on/off (the back opens completely). Hand wash. Fits up to 24 months (up to 28 lbs.). Layer on the warmth with our Bodysuit and Rib Cuff Knit Pant…

Such a cute costume!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Fun, Durable, Lightweight

Best Uses: Halloween

Reviewer Comments: This costume is adorable. My 10month-old son wore it for his first halloween. He seemed very comfortable in it, although it was hard to crawl in because it is a bit bulky, but it’s a halloween costume, so that’s expected. My son’s head is a little larger than average so we had to slit the hat a bit in the back, but you couldn’t tell. A really cute, high quality costume.

All Weather Insulated Bungalow Dog House Review

Review by: A1AuctionShop from Olympia, WA

All Weather Insulated Bungalow Dog House
You’ll love the unique design of the All Weather Insulated Bungalow Dog House . Easy to assemble.

Perfect for any dog/puppy

5 stars
5 out of 5

Pros: Dog Likes It, Quality Construction, Weather Resistant, Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up

Best Uses: Backyard Décor, Wet Weather, Keeping The Dog Warm, Outdoors

Reviewer Comments: I took some considerable time looking for a good dog house for our 7 month old mini schnauzer “Lucy”. Living in Western Washington I needed a dog house that can withstand the cold and rainy days(yuck). Since we both worked we needed something for our dog to keep warm and dry during the winter months. It had to be weather resistant, insulated, durable, and the price being reasonable. So, in the long run, it actually paid off with the "All Weather Insulated Bungalow Dog House". It was VERY easy to set up and it looks great in my wife’s back garden (I think Lucy agrees with us too :)
