"OK, I was so so so excited to get these shoes. They are not available in stores in my area so I had to order them online. Finally got them and wow was I disappointed. I ordered a size 9 (my normal size, I only ever have to buy 9.5 for boots) but they are clunky and too big. they're just manufactured oddly. I don't see how any human foot could fit in to these shoes and look ok. The gap between my instep and the inner boarder of the shoe was tremendous so my foot just didn't fit in the shoe properly. The ankle cuff is really appealing in the picture but not on your foot, Doesn't hug, kind of just flops. This shoe is a miss all around. But, maybe it will work for someone else, who knows. If it does, please review it"

Way too big
"I love the color and platform. I am a size 9 in 99.9% of all styles of shoes. I have returned these once for a size 8.5 and they are still way too big. I will see if an 8 will fit but will try a shoe of this brand on in the store before ordering again (this shoe is not available in the stores near me). Other than the size issue the style and quality seem great."

The Washington Capitals took some time to get accustomed to new coach Adam Oates, opening the season 5-10-1 but, by season's end, they were looking more like the high-flying offensively-potent Capitals of a few years ago.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at a talented team that is facing salary cap challenges, but is much more interesting with the rejuvenation of top stars Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green.
While the Capitals lost in the first round, in Game Seven to the New York Rangers, there is reason for optimism, not least of which is that top-six forwards Brooks Laich and Martin Erat missed all (Laich) or part (Erat) of the first-round playoff series, not giving the Caps a fair read on what a fully-healthy roster might provide.
With six straight playoff berths, the Capitals have had opportunities to win big, but haven't advanced beyond the second round since losing in the Stanley Cup Final in 1998.
While there might be some frustration for a franchise that hasn't been able to get over the playoff hump, there was progress under Oates and the Capitals still have much room to grow. Their puck possession was subpar and they relied on a league-best power play (26.8%) to reach the postseason. It's all well and good to have expectations for the power play when Ovechkin, Backstrom and Green are on the case, but it's difficult to maintain that level of success over the long haul and even more difficult if they can't find the cap room to sign unrestricted free agent Mike Ribeiro, who had 27 of his 49 points with the man advantage.
Because the Capitals have spent pretty freely in recent seasons, they are going to find it challenging to keep Ribeiro, possibly needing to shed salaries before entertaining the possibility of signing a 33-year-old to a new long-term contract.
The question that will need to be answered is, if the Capitals can't re-sign Ribeiro, are they still going to have the personnel to be a prolific offensive team?
The TSN.ca Rating is an efficiency rating based on per-game statistics including goals and assists -- weighted for strength (ie. power play, even, shorthanded) -- plus-minus, hits, blocked shots, giveaways, takeaways, penalty differential and faceoffs. (Stats are listed in this format: G-A-PTS, +/-, PIM, GP). Generally, a replacement-level player is around a 60, a top six forward and top four defenceman will be 70-plus, stars will be over 80 and MVP candidates could go over 90. Sidney Crosby finished at the top of the 2013 regular season ratings with a 93.65.

Capitals Forwards Usage Chart from somekindofninja.com
When Alex Ovechkin came out of the gate slowly, scoring three points in the Capitals' first eight games, he was dismissed as being past his prime as a premier scorer. A funny thing happened on the way to the glue factory, however, as Ovechkin got accustomed to right wing after years on the left, and started launching more and more shots on goal. With more shots, came more goals and Ovechkin finished with a league-leading 32 in 48 games.
Over the course of his career, Ovechkin has nearly 30% more shots per game than any other player in the league, which has naturally led to a healthy lead in goals scored over that time frame.
Only once in his career has Ovechkin recorded fewer than 4.50 shots per game (2011-2012, when he played a career-low 19:48 per game and had 3.88 shots per game) and it was the only time that he didn't lead the league. If he's back to being the game's most prolific shooter, it's too soon to write off the production of a 27-year-old elite player.
Like Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom started last season slowly, but finished strong, ending up with a point per game for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Over the last five years, Ovechkin leads the NHL with 425 points, Backstrom ranks 11th with 346.
Power forward Troy Brouwer has seen his role grow, to a career-high 18:32 per game last season, and he set career-bests in goals per game (0.40) and points per game (0.70). His possession numbers could use work, but Brouwer is a big body who can be a valuable presence in front of the opponent's net.
Joel Ward's second season in Washington was decidedly better than his first. He scored at a career-high rate (0.51 ppg) and had respectable possesion stats.
Following a miserable season in Winnipeg, Eric Fehr returned to Washington and enjoyed a solid campaign, playing a career-high 13:22 per game. A big winger with a scoring touch, Fehr is a valuable depth forward.
Diminutive centre Mathieu Perreault doesn't play much, but is utilized effectively and is capable of contributing secondary offence with favourable possession stats.
Injuries limited Brooks Laich to just nine games so he was barely a factor. When healthy, Laich is a quality contributor, capable of delivering secondary scoring.
Brought in to provide an immediate skill upgrade, Martin Erat scored at his lowest rate (0.53 points per game) since 2002-2003 and a wrist injury cut short his playoffs. Nevertheless, Erat was a consistent scorer prior to last season, finishing between 49 and 58 points in eight consecutive seasons, so it's fair to expect him to contribute on Washington's second line.
After scoring a career-high 20 goals and 39 points in 2011-2012, Jason Chimera managed just three goals and 14 points in 47 games in 2013, his lowest goal-scoring rate (0.06 gpg) of his career and lowest point rate (0.30) since 2003-2004. The veteran has good size and speed and has scored at least 14 goals six times in his career, so he can contribute offensively.
Checking forward Jay Beagle remained a regular part of the Capitals lineup, playing a career-high 12:06 per game skating in all 48 games, but his ice time went down as the season progressed and he played 9:39 per game in the postseason, as opposed to 18:26 per game in last year's playoffs.
Picked up on waivers from Vancouver, Aaron Volpatti earned a contract extension from the Capitals, though it's fair to question whether a player with his puck possession record and five points in 71 career games warrants that kind of commitment, but he does have some security heading into next season..
Following a miserable start (one point, minus-7 in his first nine games) to the season, Marcus Johansson suffered a concussion and he was much better when he returned, finishing with 21 points in his last 25 games, skating primarily with Ovechkin and Backstrom on the Capitals' top line.
If the Capitals can find the money (ie. cap room) to make it happen, they would probably like to keep Mike Ribeiro; otherwise the room for newcomers may begin and end with a prospect like Tom Wilson getting a chance to play.
Capitals Defence Usage Chart from somekindofninja.com
After a couple of injury-plagued seasons, it was starting to look like Mike Green's offensive prowess was lost. He still missed time in 2013 with a groin injury, but Green was the top goal-scoring defenceman in the league and he finished the year with 18 points in his last 15 games. If the Capitals are back to being an offensively-oriented club, Green should thrive.
23-year-old John Carlson has steadily improved and, in 2013, he played a career-high 23:01 per game, while scoring goals (0.13) and points (0.46) at career-best rates, finishing with a double-digit plus rating for the third time in the last four seasons.
Jack Hillen got hurt right off the start of the season and missed nearly two months, but when he finally stuck in the lineup, he was extremely fortunate. That's not to say that Hillen didn't have fine possession numbers, because he did, but the percentages (his shooting percentage as well as others on the ice with him) were at the far end of the scale, unlikely to be repeated. He's undersized, but Hillen showed that he could handle a regular role for Washington.
Making his NHL debut at 27, Steven Oleksy provided toughness and steady play, putting up strong possession stats in his first 28 NHL games. Getting as much as they did out of Hillen and Oleksy counts as a surprise, but it also likely earns both a regular turn to start next season.
32-year-old John Erskine played a career-high 18:28 per game, the tough guy getting used in more of a shutdown role than at any time previouly in his career. He was overmatched at times, and would probably be best-suited to work on the third pairing, but unless the Capitals add bodies ahead of him, Ersine may play a more significant role.
Playing a career-low 14:15 per game, while dressing in 26 of 48 games, was enough for Jeff Schultz to request a trade. He's huge, but plays soft for his size and perennially puts up poor possession stats.
A young shutdown defender, Karl Alzner is due for a new contract this summer and will get a sizeable increase in pay, but he's a stabilizing presence on the back end, playing nearly 21 minutes a night with tough matchups.
As with the forwards, the Capitals have a lot of spots filled on the blueline, even if they get rid of Jeff Schultz. Having prospects like Dmitri Orlov and Tomas Kundratek, who both have NHL experience, allows the Capitals to potentially improve their defence from within the organization.
Even after starring in the AHL (.932 SV% in 25 GP) during the lockout, Braden Holtby struggled early in the season, posting an .899 save percentage in his first 13 games, through the end of February. But from the beginning of March, Holtby re-established his crease credentials, recording a .931 save percentage the rest of the way. The 23-year-old played in a career-high 36 games in 2013, so he is still growing as an NHL goaltender, but indications to this point are quite positive that he's the right answer to start for years to come.
In an odd twist, the Capitals' backup goaltender, Michal Neuvirth, is earning more than the starter, Holtby. With a .909 save percentage in 121 career games, Neuvirth is certainly a good second stringer, but the 25-year-old needs to be better or, more importantly, play more to make that salary palatable.
A premier scoring prospect, Evgeny Kuznetsov was the 26th overall pick in 2010 and is likely to make his NHL debut in the 2014-2015 season. That's a long wait, particularly for a player that has the skill to be a front line scorer, but there's little the Capitals can do but wait.
The 16th overall pick last summer, Tom Wilson is a big tough kid who can bang his way into a spot in the lineup right away, and he got into three playoff games for the Capitals. If Wilson's improving offensive numbers are any indication, though, there may be some power forward upside down the line.
A playmaking winger coming off a strong freshman campaign, Riley Barber should get more time to develop in college, but long-term potential to play in a scoring role as a pro. Nice value for a sixth-round pick in 2012.
After playing 60 games for the Capitals in 2011-2012, Dmitri Orlov spent more of his 2012-2013 season in the American Hockey League, due in part to concussions that sidelined him for a good portion of the season. If he's healthy, he has top four upside.
Signed as a college free agent following his junior season at Minnesota, Nate Schmidt had 73 points in 83 games over his last two seasons, so there is little doubt that he will be adept offensively. If his defence is sound, he'll be able to challenge for a spot quickly, perhaps allowing the Capitals to deal another piece on what has the potential to be a crowded blueline.
21-year-old Philipp Grubauer started his pro career in the ECHL, playing 69 games in that league, but showed well in 28 AHL games last season, even getting into two games with the Capitals. Grubauer could use another full season of AHL development but if Michal Neuvirth should move on, there might be an opportunity for Grubauer in the backup role.
A fifth-round pick last summer, Connor Carrick enjoyed a strong rookie season in the OHL, including a playoff run in which he scored 18 points in 15 games. The Capitals have options on defence, but Carrick has long-range potential as a puck-moving defenceman.
In the last two seasons, defenceman (this is noteworthy) Tomas Kundratek has 28 goals and 26 assists in 104 AHL games. Kundratek played 25 games for the Capitals in 2013 and while he may not have been quite ready, he's certainly close enough to move up and played more than 20 minutes in six of his last seven games in Washington before getting sent down.
Acquired from Nashville as part of the Martin Erat-Filip Forsberg deal, Michael Latta has 66 points and 300 penalty minutes in 131 AHL games. The 22-year-old a tough checking centre and maybe not far from being able to challenge for a spot in the NHL.
A sixth-round pick in 2009, Garrett Mitchell improved in his second pro season and the aggressive winger could make it at some point as a grind-it-out checker.
WHL winger Chandler Stephenson and Boston College grad defenceman Patrick Wey are other Capitals prospects worth monitoring.

Megastrike Evolution e2 Heavy Cover Jig 2pk

Customer Reviews
Comments: By far the most effective jig in my tackle bag. Consistently catches more fish than any other I've tried. Works best in grass and rocky/sandy conditions but tends to get hung up in wood. When flipping/pitching into laydowns and brushpiles I'll use a more conventional jig as the fulcrum and skidplate on the Evolution jig gets caught in the sticks and branches. But most of my jig fishing is in grass and along rocky channel swings and this Evolution jig gets hammered - not often a bass just slurps it and starts swimming away. They usually attack it. I usually pair it up with a TriggerX craw or Yum craw. Black/blue is the best color for me and the water conditions I fish.
From: Bob: Hartville, OH USA
Comments: Excellent jig, one of the best on the market. Top notch skirt and the skid plate works really well. Paired with the hardytack craw from netbait rigged doubled over is the best combo out there!!!
From: Jeff: Rensselaer, IN

"UMass Lowell happens to have one of the best reputations around."
When physical therapist Donna Lannan volunteered in Haiti after the devastating earthquake, she used every single lesson she learned at UMass Lowell. "In Haiti, you really needed to rely on all of your training and be resourceful in ways you never knew you could be," she says.
"I was part of a team of medical rehabilitation professionals that got to go and help with some of the more catastrophic injuries," says Lannan. "It was a wonderful and grounding experience and I was happy to use the training that I got at UMass Lowell."
The Concord, N.H. native graduated from UMass Lowell's physical therapy program after deciding to change careers. She chose UMass Lowell for its "affordable program that was within commuting distance to home. It also happened to have one of the best reputations around."
Lannan praises the program's emphasis on neurological physical therapy for giving her a real advantage on the job. "There are a lot of programs out there, but UMass Lowell's program dedicates a lot of time to neurological rehab. I happen to see a lot of neurological rehab patients every day, so I'm really grateful that I trained at UMass Lowell."

MISSION MATTERS: How's the Weather?
The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes,
but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes;
so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
- John 3:8
In today's Gospel, Jesus tells Nicodemus and all of us about the work of the Spirit of God in our lives, using an ancient concept of how the Spirit works to explain God's direction in human history.
Throughout the Old Testament, the Spirit is seen in the way wind blows, Jesus suggests. Sometimes this Spirit is powerful enough to shake mountains and move boulders, but mostly God works in the world like a gentle breeze. (1 Kings 19:11-13)
If you have walked by the new Center for Global Citizenship with its many flags of many nations of the world, you will have noticed that at times the flags fly in one direction, and at other times they flutter in other directions. At times, some seem to be stretched taut, while others hang limp and calm. So seems the winds of a St. Louis spring, so seems the Spirit of God in our lives.
Like the winds on our campus, God's Spirit does not always fit our expectations. Like the winter winds in our faces, we feel the biting cold that much more, the Spirit of God seems sometimes to push us against the directions we think we want to move. At other times, the wind at our backs helps us move along with less effort. Like the wind, we cannot control the Spirit of God in our lives, though we try in many ways.
St. Ignatius of Loyola learned the way the Spirit of God can be used to steer a course to joy and personal freedom. He taught us that by being aware of how the Spirit directs each of us, we can learn that God is not trying to lead us to some place outside ourselves, but is nudging us to greater freedom in ourselves, a way of proceeding which is fundamentally where our happiness lies. By not trying to control the directions the Spirit of God moves us, but moving with His Spirit, we find ourselves, more often than not, more peaceful and joyful, more free. As we learn to experience the movement of the Spirit in our lives, we work with God's directions and walk less and less into the harsh wind.
As Ignatius taught us, the more we trust that God loves us enough to live and die for us in the past, we also know that He continues to want the best for us. With that knowledge then, the less we will try to control the Spirit of God; the more we can work to follow these gentle directions, to allow the Spirit of God to move and lead and direct and guide us. If we remember that God's plans for us are aimed at our ultimate happiness, our real freedom, then we can begin not to fight the direction of the Spirit, but allow it to give us direction. When we remember that God is in each of us, we can find that the will of God is not random, but has a purpose which is also part of each of us.
Let us pray that each of us may learn to sail better through our lives, that each of us will learn to use the breezes of the Spirit of God to direct us closer to Him ... closer to each other ... and ultimately closer to who we are in our being.
D. Highberger, S.J.
P. Stark, S.J.

Custom sprites are allowed ?

It eliminates one of the possibilities I had (having visually distinct weapons stronger than the BFG - yes, that would be necessary), but I can work with it. Worst comes to worst, TEXTURES abuse happens to get to that end.

No idea whether to contribute to this. On the one hand, it'll be great to make a map that isn't attached to something (like, I'm doing my 900-Lines episode and a 32-level megawad) but on the other hand, I fear anything I do make will be totally lost within such a mish-mash of different maps targeting different ports with different focuses.

I updated the OP about sprites/sounds: I think new sprites and sounds are ok as long as they don't replace the original ones from doom2, so feel free to use them with Decorate or some other way (sprite/sound size limit: 1 MB)
Yes, Eternity maps are allowed. Custom sprites are allowed now, but only if they don't replace the original ones. Does Eternity have a way to use new things similar to ZDoom's DECORATE? Btw, I really liked Realm of Shades!

In this current budgetary climate, the California Community College System is receiving less money from Sacramento and as a result we are having to cut classes. The Visual and Performing Arts Division is especially vulnerable because we are considered non-essential for students who are not majoring in this discipline, even though it has been proven that students who participate in the Arts become more well-rounded, and do better in their other classes. We are having to depend more and more on donations from generous patrons such as yourself.
The Theatre Arts Department has created a fund through the Glendale College Foundation to accept your tax-deductable donation. It is called the GCC Theatre Enhancement Fund and is "for the support, development, and enhancement of The Glendale College Theatre Arts Department , students, and productions."
Examples of support would include: Helping fund our participation in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (www.kcactf.org) including scholarships for student attendees, involvement, or seeking guest artists for a particular workshop, guest lecture, or production.
Examples of development/enhancement would include: Specific properties for shows, repairs and/or issues listed in program review such as an LED lighting system, sewing machines, and ticketing.

Soyuz 13 Docked at ISS

The blackness of space and Earth's horizon provide the backdrop for this image of the docked Soyuz 13 (foreground) and the Progress 22 resupply vehicle. Astronauts photographed the Soyuz from a window on the International Space Station while space shuttle Discovery was docked with the station.

Astronaut Robert Curbeam works on the port overheard solar array wing on the International Space Station's P6 truss. Construction and repairs are an ongoing process on the ISS, which may be completed by 2010. When it's finished, the space station will be larger than a typical five-bedroom house.

This view of the International Space Station over a blue-and-white Earth was taken shortly after the space shuttle Atlantis undocked from the orbital outpost on September 17, 2006. During its six days on the space station, the Atlantis crew installed a pair of 240-foot (73-meter) solar wings, attached to a 17.5-ton section of truss with batteries, electronics, and a giant rotating joint. The new solar arrays were designed to double the station's onboard power.

A crew member aboard the space shuttle Endeavour snapped this image of the Pirs docking compartment of the International Space Station. The compartment has two primary functions: It serves as a docking port for transport and cargo vehicles and as an airlock for spacewalking astronauts.

The turquoise waters of Miami, Florida, gleam underneath the International Space Station as it floats some 240 miles (390 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. The orbiting lab has hosted a rotating international crew since November 2000.

The International Space Station has been under construction since November 1998. In that year the first piece of its structure, the Zarya Control Module, was launched into orbit with a Russian Proton rocket. Today the station features more space than the average three-bedroom house—and it's still growing.
Space Station Maintenance
Photograph courtesy NASA
When renovations or repairs are needed on the International Space Station, it's up to astronauts to do the job. Before donning a special pressurized suit and heading out on a spacewalk, though, they must first spend over two hours decompressing in order to avoid the bends. Once their spacesuits are on, the astronauts must spend another hour breathing pure oxygen before they can step outside.

One day I was invited to give a talk about Spirituality in a school before I accepted this generous offer as always with an open heart, and totally free of charge as always I returned to school, not as a student I was. But to explain some of my experienced knowledge that developed over several Reincarnations, and now I bring this last bare life. I felt that most of the students were very spiritual.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Rick Ross is called 'the Bawse' by his followers and he has fully justified that nickname with his latest decision. When the time came to make the decision for his Maybach Music Group's distribution, he chose Warner Music Group instead of the easiest option of signing up with Def Jam, with whom he is associated as a solo artist.
Speaking in a recent interview with MTV's Sway in the program Rap Fix Live, Ross said, "You know, as a boss you gotta make certain things happen and that's what I was able to do. Me, as a solo artist, we're still at Def Jam Records, I have another album or two. But me being an executive, me being a boss, Maybach Music, I had an opportunity to sow my royal oats."

Glenn Victor Larson
Glenn Victor Larson died Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012, in Westminster of natural causes.
He was born Nov. 18, 1920, to Andrew and Gertrude Larson, on a farm near Douglas, N.D.
Raised in a family of 18 siblings, he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938. He served in World War II in 1942, when he served in the Armys 9th Armored Division, ultimately in the Battle of the Bulge, in Belgium.
He returned and moved to Denver where he met and married Evelyn Yearous on Nov. 12, 1948. They met while both attended Barnes Business College.
Mr. Larson was employed by American Standard Plumbing and, later, the city of Denver, in the Parks and Recreation Division warehouse.
The Larsons had two sons, Craig and Steven, who grew up with their fathers love of the outdoors. Mr. Larson volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America, teaching the camping merit badge to many scouts, including his sons, who both attained the rank of Eagle Scout.
He was open and kind to all he met, and he made the world a happier place with his love and encouragement to all those in his life, his family said.
Mr. Larson was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years and is survived by sons, Craig of Durango, and Steven of Leadville; four grandchildren; and a great-grandson.
A memorial service will be held in spring, and the family requests support for local Alzheimers Association groups.

Janet Larkin, Curator of the Enlightenment Gallery
I've had an exciting time these last few months managing the installation of the objects for Grayson Perry's exhibition. As part of this, I have also been tasked with changing the stunt double teddy bears on the back of Grayson motorbike, which you can see on display just outside the exhibition entrance. I usually work in the Department of Coins and Medals and look after the Enlightenment Gallery, and so getting up close to this fantastic motorbike is a real change for me!
Hundreds of bears entered their CVs and photos for Grayson Perry's competition to find a stunt double for Alan Measles, who is of course Grayson's teddy bear and 'god of his imaginary world'. Grayson shortlisted the candidates to find his top 12 and then the public voted for their three favourites. The final three reminded us of The Story of the Three Bears, there was "a Little, Small, Wee Bear" called Dr Schmoo, "a Middle-sized Bear" called Pinny, and "a Great, Huge Bear" called John Duggan.
Last week, early one morning before the Museum opened to the public, we tried John Duggan out for size by placing him in the shrine on the back of Grayson's motorbike. Dressed up in his leathers and wearing a fantastically ornate eye patch, he really looked the part. However, John was slightly too tall for the shrine and so, very sadly, he won't be able to take up his place as the stand-in for Alan Measles after all.
This is incredibly disappointing for John Duggan of course. He had so wanted to sit in the shrine and for all to come and see him. However, we know that he will take comfort in knowing that he has been an internet star with thousands of votes. He now even has his own Facebook page, so do go and make friends with him! He will certainly go on to have many more adventures I'm sure. Whilst he was here, and in true stunt teddy bear spirit, he did try out a few poses on the motorbike which we caught on camera and which he wanted you to see…
And so, we now need a stand-in for the stand-in! The next bear on the shortlist from the final stages of the competition will be contacted and asked to take John Duggan's place. Keep an eye out (not literally, like John Duggan) on Twitter for the announcement of who that lucky bear will be.
You may have seen Pinny and Alan Measles on Harry Hill's TV Burp. Pinny is thrilled to have been on television. Have you seen Pinny or Dr Schmoo on display yet? Dr Schmoo is proudly wearing his Grayson Perry badge, and I've even found him a cushion so that he can sit on that big throne much more comfortably.

Remember when the pirates captured the Captain of the Maersk freighter and the Navy sharpshooters blew the heads of the pirates to rescue the Captain? This didn't happen until Obongolo gave the order to shoot. They had to wait for his OK. What's with that? I hope the U.S. Navy is still not under those rules of engagement. I guess Obongolo could always apologize to the pirates as he's done to the rest of the world.
Not exactly correct, but they were instructed not to act until the POTUS got "his" team in place over there. The SEALs were deployed in minutes and arrived within the day; the POTUS hand-picked "team" was still packing, dithering and hand-wringing while the Navy snipers were glassing the pirates. Fortunately they didn't "wait" for the official order because there's that pesky little imminent danger provision. They shot when it appeared the Maersk Captain's life was in danger. BAM BAM BAM! Then the POTUS claimed credit.
Wonder how the 4th pirate is doing on his U.S.-supplied 3 hots & a cot? Obama will probably pardon him....:rolleyes:

An affordable and stylish leash.
That old, ratty climbing rope you call a leash needs to die, once and for all. Not only does it clash with your pooch's Hoopie collar, but it's about to break for good. Pick up the Ruffwear Flat Out Leash—the low-profile webbing maintains a bit of your climbing style, and the Talon Clip is easy on your paws and won't tremble in fear when the squirrel taunting escalates. The padded handle won't rub your hands raw and can be adjusted to go 'round your waist when you're taking your dog for a run. The traffic loop gives you a solid place to grab when you need to keep your pup close around cars or other dogs.

Great leash
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a good leash its made out of decent materials.
Tied in knots
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a good leash, the clasp works well even at extremely cold temperatures. The flat design is lightweight and packs well, but very easy to get tied into knots that are very hard to get out.
Well designed, thought out and executed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love the feel of the padding of this leash at the hand loop. The talon hook for looping around things (like your waist if need be) is super cool. And when needed the short loop option is a great touch as well. Easily the coolest leash I've had attached this dog.
Great leash, but preferred the fastex
These are great! We're on our second one (old one is still bomber, just looks bad after two years). I wish they'd stuck with the fastex buckle, as it's easier to deal with in a hurry. Still a great leash, though.
Good simple leash.
The quick trigger release is very nice. Takes less time fiddling with a normal leash release. There's a padded handle at the end that can be made to fit around the waste if needed. Also a handle near the front of the leash for when you need to stop the dog immediately. The leash has withstood some chewing as my dog is only 5 months old. So far it has been covered in mud but is easy to clean. Good product. Will buy another when (if) this wears out.
Awesome Leash!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently bought this leash, along with the matching collar. The padded handle is really nice and I like how easy the clasp is to use. The length is good and the material seems very durable. I expect to have this leash for a very long time.
Great leash
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought two of these leashes along with matching collars for my dogs. I really like how the leashes are adjustable in length. There is also a convenient handle about 12 inches from the hook so if you need to grab your dog close, you can without having to grab their collar. The materials are high quality, and of course the colors and patterns are super cute!
Matching this little dude's dreams!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My little man loves this! Give him a little more freedom to roam and sniff all of the things on our nature walks. If he had thumbs, I'm sure he'd have them all up!
Best Dog Purchase I've Made
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this leash to run with my dog and I highly recommend it for that. I've also started using it for hiking and keeping my dog in the near me in the house. It washes well and feels like my dog will have a tough time pulling off of it.
awesome leash
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this leash. It's adjustable so you can keep your dog close or give her 12' of space, but it's not retractable (booo retractables!) Also I LOVE the way the handle detaches so you can hook her to a fencepost (useful when we're hanging out at my favorite dog-friendly bar)... you don't have to detach the clip from the collar, thread it through the loop and reattach while dealing with a squirmy pup. Also, the clip is super bomber. Would definitely recommend it for anything but hands free running.
My only little issues are that if it were about a foot longer, I could put it around my waist and run with her (it's just a touch too short), and that the padded handle isn't movable (of course, really, if it were, it would probably get caught in the buckle and be more annoying.
So for real... my dog is spoiled. This leash (and the Hoopie collar) were the first things I bought for her and now she has a harness, a backpack, another leash, a bowl, a few toys... and in a few weeks she's getting a whole sleep system. So spoiled... but I also know it's a great investment because Ruffwear makes great stuff.
Going to the office!
Clasp closed
It's FLAT-tering!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Yuki loves this leash! And the pacific wave color looks great with her with fur! This leash is not only light, it's soft and comfy to hold. Not to mention that the clasp is super easy to use and there is no worry about you dog getting loose. Did I mention the handle is padded? oh yeah super sweet! Also the handle comes apart so you can attache a poop bad dispenser with ease. ALSO! you can shorten the leash super easy! and it has a loop at the end so if you have two dogs you can stick them together on one leash! Ruffwear seriously knows what is up when it comes to #dogwalkingproblems. I would highly recommend this to any dog owner. Yuki is about 45 lbs and we got the medium length and it's plenty good for length.
Solid all day e'ry day
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great leash for doing anything, and dealing with the unexpected. The wrist lock that can unclip is absolutely amazing. I never realized how handy something like that would even begin to be until now.
It has made walking my dog fantastically lazy, because the webbing is narrow enough to fit into my belt loops. So, unclip, belt loop, reclip, hands free strolling in 5 seconds. Great for when you are walking your dog, enjoying a delicious adult beverage, and putting the hurt on a sandwich. Because, lets be real, as much as we judge that guy walking down the street, we all kinda wish we had his sammie, brew, and that dog really is kinda cute. So now, I have become that man, and it is glorious.
The clip is also able to grab onto the normal part of the leash and not just the handle part. So, got a fat tree you need to hook your dog to while you dive into a cafe to get a second sammie? Boom, hook him up to it, and chat up the cute girl at the register cause you are good to go. At least until your dog barks at you and you can now tell her about how awesome and cute your dog is. Nice move.
I can't tell if people cower in fear of my awesome while I strut down the street, or are scared that I may attempt to shove them off the sidewalk for walking too close to me. Either way, the leash is a perfect length for me to walk, not step on my lanky dog's legs, (he is a hound mix and is all legs, not like Jessica Rabbit though). Yet the length is manageable enough to give him a solid tug as a little baby who decided to smash his face with her sausage fingers attacks him all the while her parents fight in the busy intersection and you secretly hope for a large truck to drive through.
Its thin, light, durable, tough, easy to manage, and the bright blue is a hard color to miss, so it doesn't get lost under the table at beer filled cook outs. I have used a ton of leashes, all the way from a piece of rope to some fancy pants feature filled shenanigans.
The only thing I personally don't like, but totally understand is the Talon clip where you hook to the dog's collar. You push down on it (very easy and nice for arthritic people and the like) but its just.... weird. I don't like it. The number of times I have missed the clip and felt like a 5 year old, no motor skills dum dum as my dog has scurried off thinking he was on the leash ready to hike.... well.... lets just say its far too many. However, I can't discount points for this because for anyone with hurting / not well working hands the design is money.
So, be the king of the neighborhood, walk with your hands free, or full of beer. Your call.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This thing is sweet! has been a great tool for training my 90 pound Cane Corso puppy. Nice to have the hands free option and the ability to leash her to a tree or pole without having to run the leash thru itself. Also the loop near the collar comes in handy when I need to pull her close or keep a little more control of her
Flat Out the Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm not sure that I had many expectations for a leash other than to keep my pup nearby, but the thoughtful design of the Flat Out leash has amazed me.
I'll start at my hand and work to my dog's collar, pointing out notable features:
The webbing is light, but strong and looks great after its fair share of abuse on muddy hikes. The padded hand loop isn't bulky but provides some comfort that is much appreciated on long trips. The hand loop is adjustable for use as a waist leash (something I've yet to do), but also unclasps completely to quickly wrap around a tree, post, or that railing outside the local coffee shop. I was a little skeptical of the loop staying secure, but after seeing the design and using it, I feel confident that the loop will only come undone when I want it to. Near the dog-end, the traffic loop allows me to keep my pup nearby when we're waiting to cross the street or passing a less-than-friendly dog on the trail. Finally, the clasp quickly and easily attaches and detaches from a collar or harness (not that my dog has a problem patiently sitting, but...OK, we're both incredibly impatient). Even when the collar loop is hidden from sight by fur, I find it's easy to get the leash securely fastened.
There have been a few times when a leash of a different length (longer or shorter) may have been ideal, but I find that this is a good all-around length. Many parks actually require a leash that is 6' or shorter, so this fits the bill quite well. Friends and dog sitters who have used the leash have commented on how great it was, and despite my apprehension to get too excited about a dog leash, I must agree.
Leashed Up!
Flat Out Goodness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
First off, I'd like to say thank you to Backcountry.com and Ruffwear for hand-selecting me to review this piece of gear for the benefit of the backcountry.com community.
Out of the box and easily clipped to Gracie's collar, we are ready to go! Of all the leashes I've used, the ease of the Talon Clip design is way ahead of its time. Seriously, say goodbye to all the wrist-wranglin' attachments of yesteryear when it comes time to getting your pooch attached in a hella quick manner!
At 6 feet long, the Flat Out leash obeys all the leash laws and then some. Shoot howdy, there is even an adjustable traffic loop for city sidewalk strolls to keep the pup close; heck yeah! The padded handle is a nice touch too.
Out of the city and down the beaten path, the Flat Out handles like a champ. We've got a strrrrrong puller on our hands and it definitely keeps her in check. We like to use it in conjunction with the Webmaster Harness or even the Float Coat at times as well. So far, the durability and strength of the Tubelok webbing is taking everything we throw at it.
The only drawback we found with the Flat Out was its length on certain... extreme trails. Every so often, some of our hikes turn out to be more like crazy scrambling sessions going up some rather boulderous terrain. Sometimes, a bit more length is required (I'd say by another foot or two; seven to eight feet total) so when your pooch finds their next step, you've still got some slack in the line. This is crucial so your pup doesn't lose footing and fall backwards if there is not enough slack. Ack! But like I said, this only comes into play when doing some more extreme trails where the longer length would be required.
If you're looking for a great, easy to use leash, stop looking and snag one of these already!

|In response to Re: chloraloy membrane for shower lining
: : I'm remolding downstiars bathroom and want to knowif I need to install a shower pan The floor of the shower is concrete, and I've frame this out and moved the drain where I need it at. I will have to pour a new bed to be sloped to proper height for correct draining. and I want to tile thefloor of the shower floor. Please advised.
: :
: Same question (I think). Previous owner has installed cement block walls around a floor drain, then painted with epoxy paint...very shiny. Concrete has been laid on floor to give proper slope, and it too has been painted. I want to redo it, using the existing walls if practical to do so, to tile over same (on Wonderboard I suppose). But, since this is a basement floor drain, should I install a waterproof membrane (then more concrete, etc.) before tiling? In other words, is a membrane necessary on a basement floor? And, any advice as to the floor drain fitting itself...how can I convert it to a standard shower drain? Thanks for your help.

A super responsive and ultra-light spike for dominating the track, the Nike Zoom Victory Elite is intended for events from 800m to 5,000m.
Take control of the race and gap the pack in the Nike Zoom Victory Elite spike. This shoe was created with one goal in mind; to dominate track races from 800m to 5000m. A responsive ultra light carbon fiber outsole coupled with dynamic flywire will have you powering through the corners and kicking down the home stretch. Includes twelve 1/4" spikes and a spike wrench.
Sizing is based on the men's scale. Women should subtract 1.5 sizes from their women's shoe size. Example: Women's 8 equals size 6.5 for this shoe.
Model Number:
Weight: 3.7 oz (size 9)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Zoom Victory Elite Spike is Nike's lightest mid-distance spike. It is intended for 800m to 5000m distances.
Comments: These are amazing! I haven't used them in a race over a mile yet, but so far I love them. The stiffness of the carbon fiber doesn't bother me at all.
From: Dylan, Fountain, Colorado, USA
Comments: The spike are the best I've used, had matumbo last season and these spikes feel so much faster. The flywire keeps my foot held in position even on the indoor track, the carbon fiber keeps you up on your toes through the 800 and doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. By far the best spike out there, would recommend it to anybody that runs right up on thier toes.
From: Ben, Scotland
Comments: These spikes are amazing. Definitely worth the price, and a substantial upgrade from the previous model. The carbon plate is great, although running on it takes some getting used to. I recommend sizing half size down since they run a bit big.
From: Anonymous, NJ
Comments: I just got a pair of these and I thought that they were much too stiff for a 2 mile to 5 k shoe, but I did like them for the 800 and the mile. The forefoot really started to bug my foot if I wore the shoe for too long.

Senior Citizens Month was first established in 1963 by the National Council of Senior Citizens. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter changed the name to "Older Americans Month". Since then, May has become a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons, particular those who defended our country.
In 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays. According to 2010 census statistics, there were over 40 million living Americans age 65 or older. Genealogically speaking, in no time in history have there been more first-hand sources for family history. Take some time this month to appreciate your elders. Ask about those stories and old family pictures. And make sure to take new family pictures to pass down to those yet to come!

Tough Call
"Got this shoe in 8.5 (usually between 8-8.5), but it was too big and my heel was slipping out - a heel insert wouldn't be enough. I'm considering a re-purchase in a smaller size, because the colors and look of the shoe are beautiful. However, there is a certain stiffness at the ball and toes of the feet that may not allow this shoe to be comfortable in the appropriate size either."

Runs Small but Great shoes
"Usually wear size 6 which were too small but the shoe was so gorgeous, I re-ordered in a 6 1/2 which fit good. Comfortable and solid platform. Not sure they would be comfortable for all day but for shorter periods, they are fine."

"Stylish, earthy feel/look, SO pretty! Makes me think I'm in Jamaica or something, but yet, I'm in the city and I'm bringing that vibe to the night life. I love these. Am waiting on a PERFECT opportunity to wear these but from what I tested them out, they were very comfy! Didn't pinch my toes or anything like that! (Usually closed toes shoes can do that, but not these!) The platform also helps in not making the rest of my foot (arch, etc) hurt. I can't wait to wear these for real! Might have to change my outfit to a concert coming up JUST so I can wear these!"

Comments: I was wearing the Barricade 2s which Adidas no longer makes. I love this shoe. I was wearing Asics that
hurt my foot. But I love my adidas and will not stray again. I did not order 1/2 smaller (9.5 my size). Glad I did not.
From: Toni, 6/13
Comments: These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Did not downsize as recommended due to a small
bunion and the shoes fit great. The shoes have very good support and cushioning. Used to wear a Yonex shoe, but these are way
From: Peggy, 5/13
Comments: Switched to this shoe to get more lateral support and more durability (over Prince which I have worn 6
pairs over 2 years). The "break in" period was a total disaster. Foot pain turned into calf stress which turned into bad injury. I think
this shoe is what it says it is: a burly hard court shoe with a ton of stability. But in my case, the transition from the soft Prince was
just too much.
From: Mary Ann, 4/13
Comments: This shoe is wonderful except that the tongue is somewhat pointed and consequently, slips to the side.
Also, the shoelaces do not stay tight, so you keep having to retie your shoes.
From: Lynn, 3/13
Comments: I haven't worn Barricades since the 2's came out. All of the other versions have been either too stiff or
too wide or a combination of the 2. I ordered these a 1/2 size smaller and they fit my foot perfectly except for the heel. They are
still too wide. I added an OTC orthotic to help tighten them up and 2 pairs of socks (instead of my usual Thorlos). They still slip
in the heel slightly but I'm hoping to play around with the lacing to see if I can get them to fit properly. They don't seem as clunky
as other versions of the Barricade. My only problem is the fit.
From: Jackie, 10/12
Comments: My wife loves these. Many people do not go down 1/2 a size, as she wears her
usual women's size 8 like in Nike and they fit great. Very hard wearing, nice looking and
stable. Ventilation and weight are decent too, she tells me. 5 star shoes.
From: Nicko, 7/12
Comments: Decided to give this shoe a try even after reading several negative reviews. I wore them in the house for
a few days to break them in before wearing them on the court. They were a bit stiff at first then thought the shoe was okay after
playing in them the first week. Now that I have worn them for a few weeks I have developed a new pain in my right ankle. I really
like the looks of this shoe but feel that if I continue to wear them I will severely damage my ankle. By the way, I ordered the same
size that I wore in the Barricade 5 (my favorite shoe) and I did not go down 1/2 size as recommended. I play 4-5/week and run
quite a bit on the court.
From: Laura, 4/12
Comments: The shoes fit true to size (though the heel is a little wide), but add about two inches of length to your
feet. If you care about that sort of thing and are at all self conscious about your shoe size, be warned that these are going to make
your feet look a lot bigger.
From: Leslie, 11/11
Comments: I bought Barricade V's and loved them. When I was ready to buy a new pair, I could not find them
anymore. Bought the Barricade 6 and must say they very comfortable right from the box, did not need to break them in. What I
don't like is that the toe box is more narrow and the tongue is constantly turning to the outer side. But it really doesn't bother me
that much.
Overall I like them, but hoping by the time I am ready for a new pair of adidas, they come up with a new shoe. I am size 10,
bought 10 and cannot imagine buying half size smaller. I am a medium width.
From: ZF, 10/11
Comments: I've been thinking for a while that my foot pain was due to my new running shoes, but have finally
figured out it is from my tennis shoes. I've had many versions of the Barricade's and bought this version about 2 months ago. I am
not going to wear them anymore. I have barely been able to walk in the mornings recently, taking almost all day for my feet to feel
From: Cindi, 10/11
Comments: I have worn the Barricade V's and loved them. I now have the Barricade VI and find them quite
uncomfortable, my feet tend to slide around, but if I tie them tighter then either my toes fall asleep or my arch hurts. I ordered in
the same size as I wore in V's and feel that this was the correct size as the length seems good. I have been really trying to break
them in and hoping that within time they will become more comfortable. I loved the Barricade V's and the stability is awesome,
but am not too pleased with the feel of the VI's . My feet are sore!
From: Tracy, 8/11
Comments: I have had the various versions of the Barricades for several years and made the upgrade from the
Barricade V to the Barricade VI. During the first couple weeks, I complained about them being much stiffer and giving me a lot
more blisters than my Barricade V. However, once I broke them in I found that they fit my feel very well and ended up lasting me
almost twice as long as the Barricade V (nearly 6 months, while I would wear out the Barricade V in about 3 months). Although
they take a while to wear in, once you do they are a great, flexible and comfortable shoe.
From: Ashlyn, 8/11
Comments: I bought the Barricade Adilibria after searching high and low for Barricade 5s with no luck. I have
purchased many pairs of the 5s and IIs over the last 5 years, and been very satisfied. The new 6s are not as comfortable and cause
me foot pain. I went with TW reccomendation to order a 1/2 size smaller and regret it. My foot is slamming into the front of the
shoe during tennis play. I am very disappointed that Adidas stopped making the 5s and may have to switch to a different brand.
From: Elizabeth. 6/11
Comments: My barricade 6 shoes lasted me longer than any other shoe I've had before. I play year-round, but not
too intensely, and these shoes lasted me about 10 months! Now that they
are finally worn out, I am looking for a new pair of shoes and have tried on many different
brands of tennis shoes. But I can't find any that feel as stable, comfortable, and durable as the
Barricade 6s. These are great shoes and are worth every penny.
From: Isabella. 6/11
Comments: I was a big fan of the V's and purchased 3 pairs. I couldn't find anymore so bought the 6.0. Big, no
huge, mistake. Okay for doubles but played my first singles match with them and after he first set was left with a blister the size
of a quarter on the ball of my foot. Bring back the V's.
From: Laurie, Solvang, CA, USA. 5/11
Comments: You may not want 1/2 size smaller!
I disagree with TW recommendation - it depends on your feet. I ordered 1/2 size smaller and returned them, I could not even get
them on! If you have average/narrow feet you are fine to go 1/2 size down. I have average/slightly wide (but not wide enough for
wide width) feet. I like a heavier sock (not quite Thorlo weight but just under) and my standard size 8 1/2 was perfect. Except for
the weight, my favorite was the Barricade 3. These are much sharper looking and lighter weight. So far, 2 months into my newest
pair, they are still very comfortable.
From: Carol, SoCal, USA 02/11
Comments: I bought these shoes in a 7-1/2. Skeptical of the reviews I had read, I have to mention that I have a few
issues with one of my feet, but I put these on and immediately I was relieved of pain and the comfort in the ball of my foot was
nice. I bought them immediately. I wore them on a treadmill to break them in and now they are like the ruby red slippers. I have
high arches, plantars, tarsal tunnel syndrome and these shoes aren't going to cure the issues, but I think they are going to
support my feet and let me enjoy my game more. Love them!
From: Nancy, Jeffersonville, IN, USA, 02/11
Comments: I purchased these shoes when they first came out because I have been a fan of the IIs and Vs and really
liked the look of these. I also really liked the comfort of this shoe. By the end of summer I started having a lot of trouble with my
feet. The bottoms of my feet were always sore and there was a spot on the outside of my heel that was very painful. I just thought
it was because I was playing a lot of tennis. Then I took two weeks off tennis. The first time I played after the layoff I grabbed my
Barricade VIs and went out to play. Within a very short time my feet were killing me and continued to hurt for several days. The
next time I played I chose to wear my Vs that I hadn't worn since the beginning of summer. Ahhh, no pain. What I found with the
VIs is that the heel is soft. After I had worn them a couple of times I had to be careful when putting them on because I was afraid
of the heel breaking down. I do not think there is enough support on the back of my foot.
From: Susan, Joplin, MO, US. 10/10
Comments: I bought these shoes because I thought the Barricade IIs were not as comfortable out of the box
anymore and I loved the weight and the look of these. Unfortunately, I've been wearing them for about 3 weeks and can't wear
them anymore. When I first put them on I thought they were awesome - just really lightweight and comfortable. However, now my
feet are killing me. I think there is something about the width and maybe the softness of the shoe. I almost feel like I might have a
stress fracture on the outside of both of my feet, just below the small toe. My feet are medium width so I don't know what it is,
unless they run narrow. Anyway, I'm back to my Barricade IIs. Will be eager to see if anyone else had similar problems.
From: Sarah, Bainbridge Island, WA, USA, 10/10
Comments: I absolutely love these shoes! For me, it was not necessary to order the shoes half a size smaller. I love
the sleek design and the gray makes my size 9 feet look smaller. These were a good buy, and I expect them to last a while
From: Nicole, IL, USA, 08/10
Comments: I'm a Barricade fan, loved the II and V but the six is horrible. They are flimsy and bruised my big toe
above the bunion. A big blood bruise. I've never had that happen before, with any shoe. I ordered a half size smaller and the toe
box was too small, had to send them back and get my regular size. The toe box is still too small but the heel is too loose. Very
odd fit and they are killing my feet. Will try to send them back, have worn twice.
From: Julie, Mt. Pleasant, SC, USA, 7/10
Comments: These shoes look really good but at first I was hesitant to by them because they said it ran a half size
big. The shoes do run a half size big but they are most definitely worth it!
From: shelly, california. 7/10
Comments: I bought a 1/2 size smaller for both the Barricade Vs and VIs. I love these shoes. They are more
cushioned than the Vs and definitely lighter. I have a narrow foot so I would not recommend them to someone who has a wider
foot. I'm not sure though if the upper portion of the shoe will last as long (mine are only 1 week old), but my husband's are 1
month and the metal grommets are rusting.
From: Leanne, Charleston, SC, USA. 07/10
Comments: I got mine in the same size as the Barricade VS that I wore for a couple of years (and loved, tho they
were a little heavy). At first they seemed fine but now, after about a month, they feel quite soft and noticeably wider and are
ripping my feet up on the sides. The metal grommets are actually rusting!!! That seems really shoddy for a shoe that costs so
From: Suzy, Bangkok, Thailand. 07/10
Comments: I absolutely love these shoes. The toe box is narrow so you definitely do not need a smaller size. Mine
were tight at first but as they broke in they let loose and fit perfectly. I have my first tournament in them in a few weeks and have
been training extremely hard, and they still look like they just came out of the box.
From: Mallory, Monroe, LA, USA, 07/10
Comments: These shoes are too cute, but after having them for a month a played in a competitive tennis
tournament and my feet hurt so badly, I had blisters and peeled skin.
From: Tay, Oklahoma. 7/10
Comments: I LOVE IT! Now that that's out of the way...I've worn the V's and II's previously, and had to order 1/2
size down for those, so I did the same with the VI. Definitely the most stylish Barricade I've ever owned! I love the white/silver.
Feels as sturdy as the Barricades do without the clunky feeling the V had. The toe box is narrower, but comfortable. Overall VERY
pleased with the VI. I wore it out for the first time last night (1.5 hours of play) and they feel broken in already.
From: Talar, San Diego, CA. 6/10
Comments: You don't need to order a half size smaller. I ordered the same size I had for the Barricade V and the
length is fine. The toe box is narrower than the V. Comfortable out of the box.
From: AD, Ohio, USA. 06/10
Comments: Like the cosmetics compared to the V. Looks modern and more like the men's version. Found the
length fit to be the same as the V and did not need a 1/2 size down. Feels lighter and so far less stiff out of the box. For me a
definite improvement.
From: KJ, SoCal, USA. 5/10
Comments: Make sure you buy a half size smaller, I didn't read the fine print and got stuck with shoes a half-size
too big! I have played in them and they did great, but I have a wide foot and orthotics & after a while my feet got a little sore... I
think I will go back to the Barricade V.
