We've been pretty busy at Lifetime this week and can finally tell you what all the commotion is about. Lifetime is expanding into another new sporting goods industry…water sports! Fun, huh? Just this week, Lifetime acquired the assets of San Bernardino, CA-based Dragonfly Innovation, Corp. and its kayak products.

It's a move that just makes good sense for Lifetime. Kayaks you say? Yep, that's right. It's a great way to complement our other sporting goods lineup, which already includes basketball systems, soccer goals, and a tetherball set. And, the kayaks work well with our plastics manufacturing expertise, since they are a blow-molded product.

Lifetime will manufacture the blow-molded kayaks in its Utah facility, which means the creation of more manufacturing jobs! Plus, with Lifetime manufacturing kayaks, it's good news for consumers, too. Just as Lifetime transformed the basketball industry with the first complete basketball system packaged in one box, we plan to bring innovation to the packaging of bulky kayaks to make them more widely available for easy mass distribution and retail. Right now you can find Dragonfly kayaks nationally at Wal-Mart.com, Dicks Sporting Goods, Sports Authority and Fred Meyer. But, we'll soon have them available in Lifetime's Online Store and other retailers.

As with all products manufactured by Lifetime, the kayaks feature innovative and quality construction at some of the most affordable price points in the industry. Dragonfly kayaks cater to beginners in kayaking and are uniquely designed to prevent tipping. They are available in a variety of sizes and designs, including both youth and adult sizes.

We'll keep you updated on this exciting new product venture as more news splashes our way!

How to find screaming deals using technology
WARNING! This isnt going to be your typical Lifetime365 blog post. Its going to be a bit more technical, and a lot more geeky, but dont let that scare you off. Ill try and walk you through it. To start things off, you should know that Im a computer geek, Ill admit it. What Im going to tell you now is something that us geeks have known about for a long, long time, but something that you normal people probably dont know about and even if you do, youre probably not using it this way. What is this secret technology of which I speak? Its called RSS feeds. RSS is an acronym. Id tell you what it stands for but people have been arguing over that since it first came out. Then ATOM feeds came along. All of this ties in with RDF and the semantic web. Im not going to go into that much detail, just know that when someone talks about RS...

Black Friday!!!
What is your favorite part of Thanksgiving? My wife’s favorite part is going shopping! I find more satisfaction in staying home, eating too much, and watching football, but, to each their own. I went one year with my wife and after I got beat by a bunch of spry and motivated ladies while trying to get some sheets, I decided to retire from Black Fridaying (is that even a word?). My goal is to help you know where you can find our products. With so many different retailers carrying our products, I wanted to help you wade through the mess. If you’re looking for a new basketball hoop, Sports Authority,

Who doesn’t love costumes, face paint, spooky decorations – and my personal favorite – pumpkin carving?!

Love my Pumpkin Carving Table!
Halloween is such a fun time of year! Who doesn’t love costumes, face paint, spooky decorations – and my personal favorite – pumpkin carving?! So last night, my husband and I set out on our pumpkin carving adventure. My husband not only carves pumpkins, but he is amazing at shaving in faces, and doing all sorts of cool stuff. Over the years, he has helped me get more and more into it as well. Since I knew this was going to get pretty messy, I didn’t really want to use my wooden kitchen table, so I decided to pull out my trusty 4-Foot Fold-In-Half Lifetime Table. We live in a smaller apartment, so this is the perfect table for us. It is super easy to store and ...
