Gamma Seal Lid - ASSORTED

Every house has at least one 5 gallon pail lying around that used to contain detergent, paint, etc. Why throw away a perfectly good bucket when you can turn it into genuine useable storage? Don't throw away those like-new laundry detergent buckets; put them to good use with Gamma Seal! The Gamma Seal lid permanently transforms your 12" diameter bucket into an airtight/leak proof storage container. Now a bucket can be used for hundreds of household and other storage applications! Simply snap the patented adapter onto your bucket and spin-on the removable lid. Specially engineered gaskets ensure that the lid and adapter are properly sealed to guarantee airtight protection. I have many of these at home and they keep things organized. I have one for cat food, one for my rock salt, one for lawn fertilizer, one for a diaper pail, one on the boat, and a few others. All you do is snap the adapter onto your pail, spin on the lid, and that's it. One quick spin and it's open, closes air/watertight in seconds! No more prying off those difficult lids. The Gamma Seal lid fits virtually any 3.5-7.0 gallon bucket (including 20 liter).

I was drinking a cup of coffee from Starbucks (grande white chocolate mocha with whip) and I didn't notice it was dripping. I ended up with coffee stains on my shirt and pants. The sipping hole on the plastic coffee cup lid was placed over the part of the cup where the paper overlaps - leaving a small gap from where the coffee dripped out.

I got an Eco Cup for Mother's Day. It looks like a paper takeaway coffee cup, but the cup is porcelain and the sleeve and lid are silicone.

When Iraq invaded Kuwait on the 2nd of August 1990, thousands of expatriates found themselves trapped as the victorious troops went on a rampage. The Lid is Lifted is a rattling good story that lets the reader know exactly what it is like to be a civilian caught up in urban warfare.

Written in a terse narrative style by some-one who was living in Kuwait at that time, every word in this book is factually true. If you have ever wondered what it is like to be held at gunpoint while your friends are raped, you can find out by reading The Lid is Lifted.

But the book is more than a simple record of human abuses. As a consultant, the writer had dozens of reliable contacts at senior level and, throughout the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq, was able to keep well-informed of what was happening in the country and why. The Lid is Lifted contains dozens of perplexing and extremely controversial facts.

For example, Iraqi secret police checked into the main hotels during the week before the invasion but the Kuwaiti authorities did nothing. On the morning of the invasion Iraqi soldiers came out of the port area where Iraq had it own unloading wharf and guided the incoming army into the city. And it seems that there were Jordanian troops among the invaders … there were plenty of empty Jordanian army ammunition boxes lying in the streets after the fighting had died down.

A series of incidents in The Lid is Lifted show how the invasion brought out the worst in the residents of Kuwait. Every race in the country – not just the Iraqi soldiers – was involved in the looting frenzy that began the day after the invasion. Some Arabs denounced their Western neighbours when they discovered they were at risk from the authorities. Westerners could be equally heartless … an American hotel manager refused to allow two girls who had been raped to hide in the basement of his hotel … and a British family stole the four-wheel drive of an American family who intended to use their SUV to escape across the desert.

This heartlessness was the result of fear … fear of rape, fear of death, or fear of being used as a hostage to prevent a counter-attack. In The Lid is Lifted, the writer manages to overcome his fear by turning it into righteous anger and then focusing that anger on his need to survive ... resulting in the thrilling tale that is The Lid is Lifted.
