Product: West County Landscape Men's XL work gloves.
Short Review: F Minus! Avoid at all costs!
Long Review:
When you by a pair of $25 work gloves, you expect them to last longer than one summer. Especially when you factor in that I'm just a desk jockey, and only get to play outside on the nights and weekends. Normally, I grab the Wally World $1.99 work gloves, but this time I thought I would take a chance with the high-end gloves that were for sale at the garden center. Wrong choice! The West County Gloves RN#: 111595 Landscape Men's XL made in Vietnam are to be avoided. They fell apart over four months of light use.

Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Washington Mutual Inc. got what it wanted in 2005: A revised bankruptcy code that no longer lets people walk away from credit card bills.
The largest U.S. savings and loan didn't count on a housing recession. The new bankruptcy laws are helping drive foreclosures to a record as homeowners default on mortgages and struggle to pay credit card debts that might have been wiped out under the old code, said Jay Westbrook, a professor of business law at the University of Texas Law School in Austin and a former adviser to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
``Be careful what you wish for,'' Westbrook said. ``They wanted to make sure that people kept paying their credit cards, and what they're getting is more foreclosures.''
Banks including Washington Mutual, Citigroup and Wells Fargo & Co. sent a letter to the committee opposing the change, saying such restructurings should be done privately.
