Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101/CRO102
Finally a way to keep unwanted animals out of the garden and protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables and flowers from hungry or destructive creatures. Cats, dogs, deer, rabbits, large birds, and many others. The patented Scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler is the smartest scarecrow ever invented. When it sees an intruder it instantly releases full garden hose water pressure towards the trespasser. The effect is both startling and immediate. Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.The ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler is constructed of durable, high-quality materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

Using the ScareCrow is easy. Simply attach a standard garden hose to its base, set the ScareCrow in the ground in the area you want to protect, and then turn on the water. Once you switch the unit on, it is ready to go.

How does it work?
The ScareCrow uses a combination of sudden noise, unexpected movement, and a startling blast of water to create a memorable and unpleasant experience for the trespasser.
The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location, and to avoid similar surprises, learns to avoid the area. If an animal chooses to return, the ScareCrow will be waiting.
While a human may flee several steps after activating a ScareCrow, animals are typically affected to a much greater degree. In most cases they run much farther, and stay away longer. Because the unit only triggers when the animal moves, its behavior is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.

Customer Review: Works great!!!
We purchased the scarecrow to stop the Blue Heron’s from eating our Koi fish in our pond. We tried an owl, plastic heron (moved to different locations frequently) and nothing worked. UNTILL—we purchased the scarecrow. It has been great and no fish missing. I must say my grand-kids also love it to run through and make it squirt them. Teriffic product.

Customer Review: It worked on me!!!
I use three Sarecrows to protect my garden. One morning I forgot to turn off the water. The blast from one of the “crows’ caused me to drop everything i was carrying and scamper out of the garden. it startled the tar out of me!

Only negative so far is battery life is about 1 month. I am now trying rechargeable batteries.

Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown / A Charlie Brown Valentine
This double feature presents two Peanuts cartoons celebrating Valentine’s Day. In the classic and much-loved BE MY VALENTINE CHARLIE BROWN (1975) Lucy tries to get Schroeder to give her a card Sally chases after Linus and poor Charlie Brown dreams of getting just one valentine. Even Snoopy’s mailbox is stuffed with those red heart-shaped cards–doesn’t anyone love Charlie Brown? Meanwhile A CHARLIE BROWN VALENTINE (2002) is one of the first Peanuts specials produced after creator Charles M. Schulz’s death in 2000. The story is taken from a number of Schulz’s classic comic strips and centers on the lovelorn Charlie Brown as he wishes for a valentine from the little red-haired girl.Format: DVD MOVIE

Customer Review: Two Good Valentine Favorites
I think “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown” was fine. The only sad things were when Charlie Brown didn’t get any valentines until a day later, and when Linus missed giving valentine treats to his teacher. I would have felt the same way as Violet when Charlie Brown wasn’t getting valentines. I would say Charlie Brown should have gotten as many valentines as the others. Everybody is too mean to him! “A Charlie Brown Valentine” was swell because it wasn’t as sad. On this one, Charlie Brown seems to go after the little red haired girl through most of it. He wanted to dance with her, but couldn’t. What sounded odd to me was that Peppermint Patty sent him a valentine this time. It would only sound like her if she really loved Charlie Brown.

Customer Review: Best of the Series
If you are a fan of sword and sorcery/samurai films — or better yet, if you’ve never experienced the genre — this is the one for you. All of the baby Cart films are mind blowing, but this installment has it all. I won’t go into any details — just sit back, and watch the blood hoses fly!
Customer Review: to die for a dye
I can’t believe that I’ve been a fan of Asian cinema for so long and am now just seeing this series. I saw the first one only a few weeks ago and it blew me away. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. I tend to prefer kung fu, but I’ve seen a lot of samurai films in my day. A couple of Zatoichi flicks, a few Kurosawa flicks, that Tom Cruise one, etc. None of them prepared me for Lone Wolf & Cub. The second film has Ogami Itto and his toddler son Daigoro traveling to assassinate a man who plans to sell a dye process to the Shogunate and put a province in poverty as a result. The man is escorted by 3 BAD dudes. There is also a group of female ninjas after Itto who were hired by the Yagyu clan, who betrayed him in the first film. I would have to say that I liked the first film a little better, but there ain’t nothing wrong with this movie. Those who thought the first movie portrayed females as weak and helpless will be silenced by the ladies in this one. The picture is not quite as good as the beauty of the first, but the complaint is minor. Like the first one it is extremely violent and highly recommended.
