Very disappointed
"I loved these shoes in the brown when I saw them online. Once I got them, the material looked and felt cheap. I loved the design so I tried them on and the right heel was bent. Felt like there was no suppport in the heel area as if the heels were plastic. Terribly made shoes. Concept is great but they need to figure out how make it wearable and support a human LOL. Do not waste your money."

"I love the style and the way these sandals look, but they are very uncomfortable. To this moment I'm not sure if I should return them or not. Love the look but hate the comfort (or lack of)."

Is there a standard connected cursive for Greek writing like there is in English or Russian? If so can someone direct me toward a good resource for learning it.
Does anyone know the modern Greek word for the writing practice sheets one would use in grade school?

The flight was fantastic, one of the best so far. I found myself sitting next to an amazing Scandinavian woman which passed the time in the blink of an eye. In just twenty minutes we were in Frankfurt!
Her incredible take on life and perfectly timed comments had me pondering and questioning all sorts of things, and when something funny was said her laughter flew right out and did huge laps around the whole cabin. She was another of life's rare diamonds. At one point we were interrupted by an air hostess who politely asked us if we wouldn't mind leaving the plane. Apparently the staff and the crew wanted to go home. Selfish.
We said our goodbyes and she invited me over when I eventually hit Sweden. I said I would. Because I will.
While we're on the subject of generosity and random acts of kindness I have to point out a few more which deserve a special mention. This further batch is how I've come to be sitting here at 38,000 feet soaring above Reykjavik with a few spare Euros in my pocket and an overwhelming grip of exhaustion. Couchsurfing experience number three: the delightful Nicole from Bad Homburg.
After donning my pack I followed her instructions to the letter and took the three trains over to the Homburg bahnhof where I stood outside, dithering cold in anticipation of step two. Apart from three or four taxi drivers peering comfortably into their dash-mounted DVD players, there was nothing or no-one around. No shops, no bars, no sounds or sign of life, nothing. Just a stinging cold chill in the air and a damp smoggy haze that filtered the distant neon city glow and gave a lick of moisture to the cold tarmac. Eerie doesn't come close.
It was 10.30pm, bitter cold and my only source of comfort was the new Beatles album 'Love', which I'd got piping nicely through the MP3. I also knew that in an hour Nicole would be finishing work and heading over to the station to pick up some dodgy looking pom who would eventually be found pacing up and down briskly outside the station entrance eating a stale sandwich.
She threw my belongings in the boot of the car and instinctively rubbed the cold vigorously from my arms. I think she felt sorry for me. This made me smile. I wouldn't have felt sorry for me.
Her apartment was impeccable, as was she. In fact she was gorgeous, and considering it was almost midnight and I had to be at the airport again in just under seven hours, the immense generosity and kindness was on the brink of overwhelming. Her highly uncomplicated and warm nature made for a gem of an experience. We sat up until well after 4.30am talking randomly and supping on the Rioja I'd bought over from Spain. Two hours later and we were thundering along the autobahn as I poured two glasses of freshly filtered coffee from a flask. Nicole took the wheel. We were running late but everything was under control: 'Trust me, I'm German. You have nothing to worry about..' which of course is already of prime nomination status for quote of the year. The thirteen hour flight lay just a couple of hours away. I was so tired my nerve endings were almost shaking. Why do I do it?
Nicole powered the car into a tiny space and accompanied me through the check-in process, insisting that I make it through without a problem. She left clutching an important package I needed sending to England but never got chance to post beforehand (your package Daniel.) She insisted she'd take care of it and that I was just to enjoy my flight. What a gal.
Obviously, I don't need to make my thoughts clear on all this as it goes without saying. Let's just say that there'll be some serious karma paid forward along the way. Nicole is one of life's angels, and one that I can only hope to encounter again.
Goodbye Europe..

hahahahahahayou'll never catch me, suckas!
anyone know if there'll be any shonen jump/naruto this coming week?
I have a feeling there'll be second week off for Japan's work-a-holic manga authors.
Which can mean only one thing, another week of luxurious titty massages given by super models - that's my prediction for what will happen next week.
Raws for bleach and one piece are out so I'd guess so.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?

(65g) Powerbar Performance Energy Bar Banana helps meet the fueling needs of athletes competing at the highest levels of exercise intensity and duration. Powerbar Performance Energy Bars are formulated with PowerBar C2MAX dual source energy blend, a 2:1 glucose to fructose blend found to deliver 20–50% more energy to muscles than glucose alone and improve endurance performance by 8%. Performance Energy bars contain 200mg sodium — a key electrolyte lost in sweat that is associated with muscle cramping in some athletes. PowerBar Performance Energy bar is a great choice for use before & during higher intensity competitions or training sessions like running, cycling & swimming. Fueling up right can make a big impact on how you feel and perform, no matter what you're tackling. Eat 1 bar 30–60 minutes before exercise, and for events lasting over 1 hour, eat 1–2 bars per hour during exercise. PowerBar Performance Energy bar — key features: Provides more energy to muscles with C2MAX Contains 200mg sodium, a key electrolyte The original energy bar Low in fat, with 8–9g of protein per bar No preservatives or artificial flavors Frequently Asked Questions: What are PowerBar Performance Energy Bars? A blend of proteins and nutrients that can help you prepare for intense training and high-endurance athletic competition. How can I use PowerBar Performance Energy bars? PowerBar Performance Energy bars meet the demands of athletes competing at the highest levels of exercise intensity and duration. Here are some ways you can incorporate this bar into your game plan: Use these bars as part of a high-carbohydrate meal 2–4 hours before exercise. Consume a bar as a high-carb snack 30–60 minutes before exercise. Consume 1–2 bars per hour during exercise that lasts for over an hour. Athletes in team sports often eat bars during quarter and half-time breaks to recharge energy levels. Triathletes and cyclists pack these bars in their jersey pockets and take bites during downhill or flat stretches. Feel free to use these bars interchangeably with other PowerBar products for more variety. Why are PowerBar Performance Energy bars recommended for before and during exercise? PowerBar Performance Energy bars are high in easily-digestible carbs to top off your muscle glycogen stores before exercise. The bars contain 3.5–5g of fat and small amounts of fiber. High-fat and high-fiber foods before exercise can slow down the gastric emptying rate, leaving you more susceptible to stomach discomfort during exercise. Choosing a sports nutrition product like PowerBar Performance Energy bars before and during exercise will give you the energy your muscles need for optimal performance and leave you less likely to experience stomach discomfort. What kind of energy do PowerBar Performance Energy bars provide? Endurance athletes and exercise enthusiasts need to eat a high-carbohydrate diet on a daily basis in order to load up on muscle fuel stores of glycogen before exercise. If you're one of these people, you also need carbs during exercise in order to delay the onset of fatigue. PowerBar Performance Energy bars provide maximum energy delivery with PowerBar C2MAX dual source energy blend. C2MAX is a research-tested 2:1 glucose to fructose blend that's been shown to deliver 20–50% more energy to muscles than glucose alone and improve endurance performance by 8%. Does PowerBar Performance Energy bar provide electrolytes? Each PowerBar Performance Energy bar contains 200 mg sodium — a key electrolyte lost in sweat. Loss of sodium from sweating is associated with muscle cramping in some athletes. Potassium (105 mg per bar) and calcium (250 mg per bar), are also found in PowerBar Performance Energy bar. These electrolytes are also lost in sweat, but to a much lesser extent than sodium. Average sweat loss in athletes Sports Nutritionists and Dietitians generally recommend 500–1000 mg sodium per hour during intense exercise, but sodium losses vary greatly. Therefore, there is no exact intake of sodium to recommend during exercise. Average Quantities of Electrolytes Lost in Sweat: Sodium: 920–1840 mg per liter of sweat Potassium: 156–312 mg per liter Calcium: 120–160 mg per liter Are all PowerBar Performance Energy bar flavors created equal? All PowerBar Performance Energy bar flavors have comparable ingredients and nutritional content for the U.S. market. Internationally, products vary slightly to conform to country-specific regulations. Is the PowerBar Performance Energy bar approved for diabetics? PowerBar Performance Energy bars are used successfully by many diabetics. PowerBar Performance Energy bars provide 3 carbohydrate exchanges and 1 lean-protein exchange as defined by the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetes Association. As with any food item, it is important to review the carbohydrate content so you can factor this into how you manage your diabetes. Check with your health care professional for more information. Why do PowerBar Performance Energy bars freeze? Because PowerBar Performance Energy bars contain 1.5–4g of fat and have a water base, you may find that the bars freeze in colder weather. To retain its soft texture, keep your PowerBar Performance Energy bar close to your body by keeping it in an inside pocket, or warm it prior to eating. How long will my PowerBar Performance Energy bars last? Each PowerBar Performance Energy bar is stamped with a "best by" date. Although it is safe to eat PowerBar Performance Energy bars after this date, we recommend that you use them by the "best by" date to ensure you're enjoying the freshest product and receiving the full nutritional benefits of the product.

OK, it's a small victory, but we celebrate them when we can, right?
I not only made it through my weekend with a house full of family (10 of us!), but I actually felt very good on Sunday and was able to enjoy my family and Mother's Day. Hooray! It was a lot of work, but we had a great time. I know I've said this before and been wrong, but I really think I have finally gotten through the worst of my Lyme treatment herx and have come out the other side.
My mom and her husband came to visit from Connecticut for the weekend (it was also my mom's birthday), along with my sister and her family. The four cousins had a great time together, as you can see here. On Sunday, I even felt well enough to take everyone to our local nature center for a short hike and some prime tadpole hunting! My little niece and nephew had a blast catching and releasing tadpoles (though my 3-year old nephew kept trying to touch them!)
We also gained two new family members this weekend (hopefully low-maintenance ones). One of my niece and nephew's pet mice recently had babies (12 of them!), so they brought two to our house for Jamie and Craig. I have to admit they're very cute, and my sister assures me they're both females! My 7-year old niece told us to be very careful because "they fall in love very easily at this age."
On Sunday, with all ten of us sitting in the family room, opening Mother's Day gifts, my niece said, "Why can't we all just live together all the time?" Family times like these mean so much to all of us, and I was thrilled to be able to enjoy it. I hope all of you other moms out there had a great Mother's Day, too!
Why is school so stressful??

ReillyPublishedJanuary 8, 2011, 7:21 PM EST John Roll, Arizona's chief federal judge, was killed in the same incident in which Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot on Saturday morning.A federal law enforcement official first confirmed to TPM that a federal judge was shot. The U.S. Marshals Service is on the scene of the shooting, the federal official told TPM. The Marshals Service employees responded to the scene after the shooting, the official said.WNBC reporter Jonathan Dienst confirmed Roll was killed. A statement from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement that Roll had been attacked.Roll faced death threats in 2009 after presiding over a $32 million civil-rights lawsuit, the Arizona Republic reported:When Roll ruled the case could go forward, Gonzales said talk-radio shows cranked up the controversy and spurred audiences into making threats.In one afternoon, Roll logged more than 200 phone calls. Callers threatened the judge and his family. They posted personal information about Roll online."They said, 'We should kill him. He should be dead,' " Gonzales said.Roll, who is the chief federal judge in Arizona, said both he and his wife were given a protection detail for about a month."It was unnerving and invasive. . . . By its nature it has to be," Roll said, adding that they were encouraged to live their lives as normally as possible. "It was handled very professionally by the Marshals Service."At the end of the month, Roll said four key men had been identified as threat makers.The Marshals Service left to him the decision to press charges but recommended against it. Roll said he had no qualms about following their advice.The recommendation was based on the intent of those making the threats."I have a very strong belief that there is nothing wrong with criticizing a judicial decision," he said. "But when it comes to threats, that is an entirely different matter."Editor's Note: This post has been updated since it was first published.

Sigma Standard Prime lenses for Pentax DSLRs
Standard lenses are so-called because they match the magnification of the human eye. As such they produce very natural-looking results and are ideal general-purpose models. The standard focal length for film and full-frame DSLRs is 50mm and before the widespread adoption of zoom lenses, almost every photographer owned one.
Like most fixed focal length lenses, standard 50mm models generally have a much brighter aperture (smaller f-number) than zoom lenses, allowing them to gather more light and be more flexible in low light conditions. These smaller f-numbers also allow you to more easily blur the background on portraits.
Lenses with f-numbers smaller than f2 are normally very expensive, but 50mm models are the exception. Due to their ease of construction and high manufacturing volumes, 50mm lenses with very bright apertures can be very affordable – and models with f1.8 or f1.4 apertures are most common. To put these numbers in perspective, most kit zoom lenses at 55mm have an aperture of f5.6. A lens with an f1.4 aperture can actually capture 16 times more light. This low light performance also makes them great for astro-photography. Sigma offers one 50mm lens with a bright focal ratio of f1.4, making it great for low light work or blurring backgrounds.
As always, bear in mind any reduction in field due to your DSLRs sensor when choosing a lens. Pentax's APS-C models have a reduction factor of 1.5x, which effectively turn 50mm lenses into 75mm models. So if you actually want 50mm standard coverage, you should be considering focal lengths closer to 35mm in our wide-angle prime section. That said, an equivalent of 75mm gives you short-telephoto coverage which is ideal for portrait work, especially with the small f-numbers allowing very blurred backgrounds. As such, 50mm lenses are proving very popular with DSLR enthusiasts. For a full explanation of lens specifications and examples of coverage at different focal lengths, check out our

Islands in the sun
First National Gallery of Australia exhibition to visit Papua New Guinea
Thursday 16 May 2002
The National Gallery of Australia's Program of Travelling Exhibitions is visiting Papua New Guinea for the first time, with Islands in the Sun, a visually uplifting collection of prints by artists from Arnhem Land, Torres Strait Islands, Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
The exhibition will be on display at the Papua New Guinea Museum and Art Gallery in Port Moresby from the May 20 to June 25.
Details of the exhibition were announced today by Ms Barbara Poliness, Project Officer with the Gallery's Travelling Exhibitions Program.
'The exhibition is visiting Papua New Guinea because the National Gallery of Australia has a leadership role to play in the Asia and Pacific regions', Ms Poliness said.
'We aim to foster and promote collegiate relationships with other national cultural institutions. The program to provide access to our collection is enthusiastically supported by our partners in this project - the Australian High Commission and the Gordon Darling Australasian Print Fund', she said.
Printmaking was introduced in Papua New Guinea in the late 1960s and its artists, as with indigenous artists in the Australasian region, share strong thematic links of subject matter expressed in their print works.
'All indigenous people of the Australasian region, although belonging to different cultures, share the same history of European colonisation and flourishing print cultures', Ms Poliness said.
This exhibition will bring together a group of cross-cultural collaborative works which have produced quite different kinds of ideas, images, knowledge and values.
Three artists from Papua New Guinea feature in the exhibition - Mathias Kauage, David Lasisi, Martin Morububuna. Their work reflects the changing social, political, artistic, literary and educational changes in PNG during the 1970s. All three artists will be present at the official opening, launched by the wife of the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Lady Roslyn Morauta.
Transporting the exhibition safely to the tropics has proved a logistical challenge for the Gallery.
Special humidity controlled storage facilities have been made available for the exhibition. Several crates had to be reconfigured so they could fit into the cargo hold of the plane. 'We will also be taking along 120 metres of special coated chain, 202 button head screws, an electric drill and 20 pairs of white cotton gloves', Ms Poliness said.

|In response to Re: Toilet Wax Seal
If it has lasted 5 years, the plumber has no liability in this case. The shutoff valve is probably one that you have to push, (or pull), the handle to shut it off.
: I have to replace a Wax Seal on a Toilet installed less then 5 years ago. I plan on doing it myself, but should I go back to the Plumber that installed it and have them fix it? I know I have to replace it because the floor feels wet sometimes after flushing. No puddles, but it gets wet.I believe the installation was faulty as this toilet never look totally right to me. It may have not been level and it has always seemed to wiggle a bit but has recently gotten worse(the wiggling). Also, I have not been told by the plumber or builder how to turn the water off on the toilets. It has a round plastic shutoff valve with a screw in the middle. I turn it and it does nothing. I will probably just shut off the main but would rather not as I have a 3 year old learning how to go and if he has to go when I am in the middle of it....you know what I mean!

The Cornell-Cantabria Program (CCEP)
Nomination submitted by: Miguel Angel Serna Oliveira, Vice-Rector for International Relations
Program Overview Engineers, whose demanding curriculum presents a well-known hurdle to finding international opportunities, nonetheless need to possess global skills, and, increasingly in the United States, the ability to understand Spanish. "The CCEP was designed specifically to address these two challenges," says W. Kent Fuchs, Cornell's Provost, "to allow students with a solid high-school background in the Spanish language to take Cornell College of Engineering curriculum-approved courses, primarily in English, while studying at the Universidad de Cantabria in Santander, Spain, for a full academic year."
The program, taught at the Universities of Cantabria and Cornell, meets the requirements of both institutions and allows up to 20 students from each university to study two full academic years together spending one year at each institution. The international experience is broadened with internships and other activities, including "construction site visits," which Cornell students consistently regard as one of the most valuable learning experiences of their academic careers. The program is recognized for its efforts to help participating students open the door to expanded international engineering opportunities worldwide.
Program Implementation Read the winning nomination, including details on how the program achieves its objectives
IIE will present the annual IIE Andrew Heiskell Awards for Best Practices in Internationalization at a ceremony in Miami, Florida on March 14, 2017, as part of the Annual Best Practices in Internationalization Conference.

Perfect flip-flop
"I tend to get blisters in between my toes with new flip flops and am constantly looking for sandals that have fabric "thongs" vs. plastic ones. Another sore spot (literally) for me with most sandals is the bit that goes across the top of your feet. As you can see in the product image, these sandals have a thick, comfy fabric portion for that, too. No rubbing, just comfy. The arch seems supportive (haven't walked long distances yet but my winter feet didn't immediately cry out when I slipped them on, and I have naturally high arches) and the tread seems good, too. Overall, it's the flip-flop I've been looking for forever!!"

Hi Zom,Zom wrote:I think that this is not too skilful to depend on some substances in meditation - like coffee or analgesics or whatever.
The right way to overcome sloth and torpor is to clean the mind with the help of Dhamma.
As I found out, when I'm slack in my practice, sloth and torpor overwhelms my mind. But if I keep on being mindful and meditate 1-2 hours a day - then I'm free of sloth and torpor all the time, every day, both in and out of meditation, and sometimes it is even difficult to fall asleep because of the aroused inner energy ,)
I'm well aware of the Buddha's instructions for the dispelling of sloth and torpor, and caffeine wasn't on the list as I recall. Yeah, I guess I'm just imperfect. It could also have to do with my often unusual and disruptive routines, however. (May I ask if you have kids to look after, for example?) Furthermore, you took what I said the wrong way, I'm not 'depending' on caffeine in the way you seem to think, although as I said in my capricious way, it does seem to have it's uses sometimes. But I really have to be more careful what I write here, as I guess on an online forum people will take things literally, and miss (my obviously failed attempt at) irony. Anyway, we should be here to encourage, rather then criticize each other, so - I'm glad to hear you are able to deal with this issue well, very good.

Are the Columbus Blue Jackets a good trading partner for the Edmonton Oilers?
Jonathan Willis
June 18 2012 09:20AM
They own the second overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft, a surprisingly deep group of NHL defensemen, and their general manager learned his trade as an executive in Edmonton. Are the Columbus Blue Jackets a good trading partner for the Oilers?
I'd argue that the Blue Jackets are a legitimate trading partner for the Oilers, but that there's at least one problem: the team has a couple of other pressing items on its plate.
They're in the middle of trying to move the face of their franchise, Rick Nash. In a year with a weak free agent crop, Nash is bound to appeal to teams – he's a 6'4" power forward with 30+ goals in seven of his last eight seasons. At last report fully one-third of the league was in discussing a trade with the Blue Jackets for his services, despite the fact that his contract runs until 2017-18.
Nash was the Jacket's first overall pick back in 2002; might the first overall pick this year appeal to Columbus? According to Red Line Report, probably not:
If [the Blue Jackets are] going to lose Rick Nash, they'll probably want to sell their fans on a talented young forward. But their recent history of drafting Russians at the top of the draft – Nikita Filatov and Nikolai Zherdev – might make them understandably leery of taking even Russians like Yakupov and Mikhail Grigorenko who have come over to play junior in North America.
Red Line goes on to suggest that the Blue Jackets might rather move down rather than up, and on Friday general manager Scott Howson confirmed that they had discussed moving down in the draft with other teams.
Between trying to move the most important player in the history of the franchise and trying to move down from the second overall position – a pair of deals the Oilers will have no interest in – Scott Howson is going to be plenty busy. Aside from the fact that he's busy, the simple truth is that the return on those trades is going to alter the dynamic of his team in a significant way; Columbus might have very different needs coming out of those deals than they had going in.
If there is a trade between the two teams, it would likely see the Blue Jackets send away an excess blue-liner in exchange for help up front (a lengthy rebuild does not seem to be the intention in Columbus right now). The team may well add a good defenseman in the Nash trade, and they already landed Jack Johnson – while I'm personally not bullish on Johnson, Jackets' beat reporter Aaron Portzline described the club as "smitten" with his work – and the surprisingly impressive Nikita Nikitin in trades last year. Those players join a defense corps that already features reliable veteran Fedor Tyutin, James Wisniewski, Nikita Nikitin, Marc Methot and 2009 first round pick John Moore. The Oilers were reportedly interested in Methot in the period leading up to the trade deadline, though with the acquisition of Nick Schultz that presumably is no longer the case.
Still, the Blue Jackets have a logjam on defense, and one that might get bigger if and when Nash gets dealt. If the Oilers are trading with them to alleviate that problem, the logical target is Fedor Tyutin. Lowetide wrote about Tyutin two months ago on this site, and his wrap-up then is equally applicable now:
Fedor Tyutin is perhaps the most attractive option we've looked at so far in this series. He has good size for an NHL defenseman, is mobile and adept at moving the puck. He's been healthy (this season aside, he broke his right hand earlier this month and is out indefinitely). He is signed to a long contract, could come into the organization and serve as a legit top pairing option and he could also mentor some of the youngsters coming along. The price tag would be heavy, but the Oilers have picks, prospects and young NHL players in abundance. This might be a very good match for both sides.
Tyutin would be an ideal fit for the Oilers in all areas. His cap hit is a very reasonable $4.5 million, he brings things to the table that the Oilers need in their organization, and above all else he's a very good NHL defenseman. Columbus may not be willing to move him – and if they're only interested in dumping their depth defenders it's hard to believe the Oilers would be interested – but given what the Colubmus blue line looks like right now and their obvious needs up front it only makes sense for the Oilers to ask.
If Tyutin isn't an option, James Wisniewski or Nikita Nikitin might be. Neither is as ideal a fit for Edmonton's needs, but both would represent an upgrade on what's currently in the system.

let me be the fist to sat no Nash
The Oilers should only trade with the Jackets if they can get the 2nd overall. Would Paarjvai, Gagner, and the Oilers pick at the beginning of the 2nd round be enough to get the 2nd overall or an overpayment? Thoughts.
This trade I can see would benefit both teams equally. The Oilers could get Yakupov and Murray, or possibly Galchenyuk, who I would take ahead of Murray, thats another discussion, and give the Jackets two young forwards and another high prospect from the 2nd round.
June 18 2012, 09:45AM
I'd rather take my chances on Yakupov at the Rookie Max for 3 years than Nash at inflated numbers until the next Ice Age.
I dont think they'd give up any of the other players I covet in their system and on their team. I think it's destined not to happen.
I think the Habs have a better shot of being a trading partner.
Out of Conference, still in the Lotto, New Management, Fan base clamoring for something to happen.
I just want them to keep the pick and choose Yak.
Only consider trading first round pick for a marquee player , which leaves out Jackets defencemen . Nash is the only marquee player they have , and the only name on that team worth considering . Swapping with Colombus and tweaking on our part could land us Nash and Murray . Not bad , but passing on Yakupov is iffy even at that .
Tutyin, would ge a good choice as a trade. Skill, age, and salary would fit the bill.Hemsky would have to be going the other way? Weisnewski,is a bit older,bigger salary and brittle. Would not chasing Ericcson , Carle or Wideman for similar money, without giving up assets make more sense. Tutyin as a NMC , but would probably pay to leave Columbus as this point.
Would Paajarvi and Omark's rights spring Tyutin away from Columbus? Or is Columbus generally avoiding Europeans right now? If so, what about Eager and a sweetener (our 2nd rounder, Jones, Plante or Peckham)?
It's not like we can spare all of our physical players, but we need to give something to get something back and checkers are generally easier to replace than scorers, defencemen or goalies. And I'm sure that Columbus is sold on the idea of using Nash and their 2nd overall pick to restock their offense and secure a reliable goalie.
I've always liked Tyutin and think he would be a great compliment to Smid on the backend. He's got a physical edge, plays the game with "calm feet", and can move the puck.
June 18 2012, 09:58AM
What do you think of Erik Johnson, his price tag & his availability? I'm not sure he's going to become what everyone thought (franchise d-man), but he's likely still going to be a really good d-man long-term.
Friedman has mentioned in the past that he sees Colorado potentially dealing Matt Duchene. While he would interest me, maybe there's a deal with the Leafs there revolving around Duchene/5th OV...? Then... maybe a flip of 5 & Johnson for 1 & 'x'?
Crazy talk?
Mr. Willis: Would Tyutin for Hemsky work for both teams?
June 18 2012, 10:00AM
Only consider trading first round pick for a marquee player , which leaves out Jackets defencemen . Nash is the only marquee player they have , and the only name on that team worth considering . Swapping with Colombus and tweaking on our part could land us Nash and Murray . Not bad , but passing on Yakupov is iffy even at that .
Pretty sure there was NO mention of moving the 1st in a deal for a Columbus d-man here. Nor trading the 1st for Nash. Maybe read the article before commenting.
Wild idea on a 3- way trade:
Edm to Col. - Hemsky, Jones, and Belanger Col to Edm. - Nash
Edm to Tor. - Nash, and Potter Tor.to Edm - Gardiner, Colborne/Kulemin
I am banking on the fact that COL. is more in need of forwards , therefore Gardiner being the key player from Tor would not be as attractive to Col. Tor. is dying to get Nash and would probably give up Gardiner to get him via Edm.
Edm. getting Gardiner might be the ticket to also get Schultz.
June 18 2012, 10:05AM
I'd rather see a deal with Toronto for Schenn + Franson. And swapping 1st rounders. I would then take Galchenyuk or Grig's whoever was still available at the 5th slot. Although this does not address the need for a top 4 d man.. The talent pool just bubbling under the NHL level is D heavy. And I believe our 2nd line center slot needs an upgrade for us to eventually compete for a stanley cup.
June 18 2012, 10:12AM
What makes Tyutin a better option than Wideman, Carle, etc who could be UFAs that could be picked up without giving up anything, other than cash? Will either of these guys be a lot more than $4.5M?
I realize you may not be able to sign either them in good old E-town, but I would wait for a "whiff" on July 1st before offering up a good roster player and / or a higher draft pick for Tyutin.
Not that I mind Tyutin, just saying I would prefer to get that type of player without giving up an asset of value - all things being equal.
June 18 2012, 10:15AM
There's been a whole lotta nothing but top 10-15 picks for the Bluejackets for 20 yrs now. Obviously they haven't done well at the draft table. I can't believe they'll knock it down and start from scratch again in Columbus.
If the Oilers could land another pick somewhere in that 8-12 range in exchange for Gagner and Peckham, you might have a shot at netting that second overall pick from Howson.
Somethings going to happen this week. Tambo will finally move heavan and earth to get Murray as well as Yakupov. Spice it up a little and give Scott the right to swap 1 firsts in 2013. This is the year NHL 2K12 becomes reality boys.
Let's look at the Big Picture here in Edmonton.
To get to the playoff promised land, Oilers will need 6 (top 6 forwards) 4 (top 4 defence) and one goalie (with a pretty good backup)
If we take Yakapov, the Oilers will have 5 of the top 6 forwards without tading anyone. Hall, Ebs, RNH, Yakapov and Hemsky) These are top 6 forwards on almost every team. and all are under 30. Without a trade, there are Gagne, Harty, and Magnus are possible top 6 for the 2012 - 13 year.
IMO we have four Top 7 defencemen on our roster. (Smid, Petry, Shultz, and Whitney) with a few banging on door from the outside. Petry maybe the only potential top 2.
I don't expect a top 2 defenceman to land in Edmonton this year. Not unless some team is willing to take a flyer on Edmonton's 2013 first round pick.
IMO the Oil only have 2nd teer prospects to trade - I am especially Sorry to Magnus, Gagne and Harty or any of our defencive prospects, but IMO you aren't quite there yet.
So, I believe the CHANGE should be in goal.
Again in my (less than highly educated opinion), Dubnyk is a pretty good #2 goalie who may become a #1 in a couple years.
My hope is that Edmonton trades for / or picks up a UFA Goalie and offer a 2 year contract.
The team (as I've listed) will be better, score more goals and improve in the standings.
But 2012-2013 won't see a playoff run... BUT watch out for 2013 -14!!

For the FISTteenth time take Yak and don't look back!
If the Oilers fix the goaltending situation, and add a good defender I believe they are in for the playoffs. And anything can happen in the playoffs. Columbus might just have that defender, which would be great.
If Tambellini doesn't fix the Goaltending situation, then no amount of tinkering in the rest of the lineup will make a difference great enough to make up for it.
June 18 2012, 10:45AM
I'd be interested in trading one of our secondary forwards/prosepects for one of their defensmen.
Pretty sure there was NO mention of moving the 1st in a deal for a Columbus d-man here. Nor trading the 1st for Nash. Maybe read the article before commenting.
Read the article before commenting?
A novel idea! going to be complete hell on the comments section volume but worth a shot.
Paajarvi likely to develop into a top 6 forward and dynamic role player in our future . He should remain untouchable for at least another year . Only Yakupov could garner anythng close to, a "knock your socks off offer "this draft . We do not have much in the way of draft choices after first to deal with (32,63,91,123,153 ). Next years draft is to risky to deal away at this stage . We have many questionable veterans that could fetch us some additional players or draftees , however . Buffalo with 12,21,42 and 44 might be a target . Columbus defence unlikely , as trade probably would have been done before now .
Well if we are throwing out some trade options Have a look at this.
From Edmonton: Hemsky, MPS, Omark(rights), Peckham(rights)+ possible draft picks, not 1st rounders.
From Columbus: 2nd overall and Tyutin.
The Oilers pick 1st and 2nd bringing both Yakupov and Galchenyuk. Or if the jackets get a top 5 pick in the Nash trade say a 5th overall. It could be worked into a 5th overall and Franson to Edmonton. Just some things to keep in mind.
Is there any concern that Tyutin's contract is a little long? I love the idea of having him at that cap hit for the next three seasons (when he is 29-31), but am less sold on the next three years.
That said, I still like him better than overpaying for an FA.
June 18 2012, 11:12AM
Is Johnson available? I haven't seen his name popping up with any particular frequency in rumours, and with Quincey gone I don't see why the Avs would move him so soon. I could be wrong on this, but I'd be surprised if Colorado had much interest in moving him.
As for Duchene, I wonder. Colorado would be nuts to move him, but with Stastny and O'Reilly maybe they feel they have enough up the middle. Still, in Colorado's shoes if I started the day with Duchene and Johnson and ended it with Yakupov I really wouldn't be that happy. It's possible but I think that sort of scenario isn't especially probable, personally.
No, I haven't seen anything specific about him being "available". But I'd think he'd be an interesting target, RFA and all (be it by trade or by offer sheet). How much do you think Johnson gets, and would you be willing to overpay him to get him?
Obviously, this particular scenario would depend on how high they are on Yakupov & if they're actually considering moving Duchene. But say you could get 5 & Schenn for Duchene & something & then Yakupov & Gagner/Paajarvi/Petry for Johnson & Galchenyuk/Rienhart/Murray. Is it worth considering on any end? Would 1 & Petry for 5 & Johnson make any sense to you? Just spitballing here. Also, as an aside, I would have the Avs in on former Pioneers D Matt Carle. Point being, with no 1st & plenty of moveable young assets, I could see the Avs pulling off some major shockers... or not.
June 18 2012, 11:38AM
I have no doubt oil mgmt has learned it's Cap't Ahab lesson. No more chasing the white whale, no more persuing pipe dream free agents like Suter and Carle and certainly no trading for big fish like Nash. There will be no big moves from the oil, no major FA signings and likely a Dman taken 1st round this year. Unless training staff spikes Khabbi's vodka with HGH, dianabol and Terry Sawchuk urine we are fated to groundhog day this scenario in 1 years time.
June 18 2012, 11:46AM
my good friend Dark...our GM is incapable of moving his bowels let alone heaven and earth...he will cozy up to the podium and do as he's told by Kevin and draft the Nail and that's it til he goes back for the 31st overall...then MacT will take over just prior to training camp and move this team from hell to right next to heaven...can't wait to order Centre Ice in late September to watch this team START their two year journey to make the playoffs...
"Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Expect San Jose Sharks to announce an agreement with veteran D-man, Brad Stuart today or tomorrow. 3 year term."
@Jonathan Could San Jose be a likely decent trading partner given they'll likely be signing Stuart today?
If the NHL was the wild west and Tambo got into 10 gun fights he would have been killed ten times. The guy has no clue how to pull the trigger and when he finally gets forced to it ends up being far to late.
Columbus is an excellent trading partner right now for the Oilers.
The first thing is the Oilers definitely keep their first overall pick and choose Yakupov.
Then immediately begin the dealing with the Blue Jackets for that 2nd overall pick.
The Oilers can offer Gagner or Hemsky easily enough, along with other players (Peckham, Eager, etc), and or prospects such Lander, Martindale, etc).
The Oilers are at a point too to even offer other draft pick rounds and/or their 2013 or 2014 upcoming #1 pick as I believe those to then be of a higher/later round choice than in the Lottery section like today.
This deal/trade of which players and prospects to go to Columbus would now depend on whether the Oil want Galchenyuk, Murray or even Reinhart at #2.
For example, with the 2nd pick overall, if the Oilers really want Galchenyuk bad enough then you move Gagner for sure and if instead it's for Murray then move Hemsky to make room for Yakupov.
The the Oil can go next with trying to get Schultz (as of June 24 in deal with Anaheim or then on July 1st) and/or trading for other top defencemen along with signing another goalie for 2012 season. Also, see what's available now as to what's left for July 1st as well.
June 18 2012, 12:06PM
@ Willis
We are on the same page. I left Garrison off based on a link to Staples article in ON last week.
I realize getting a solid veteran D via free agency is far from a slam dunk and you are correct, with every UFA that gets signed by his team, ala Jackman, the number of fish in the pond goes down.
I guess the question is - would waiting until after July 1st to look at a deal for Tyutin, or someone of his ilk, be compromised or make it considerably more "expensive"? Or would it be a wash once all but the successful of the Nash Hunters are disappointed? ie Hemsky's trade value would presumably be higher as well.
At last I see people on the Tyutin trail . I said to go after him months ago (trade deadline) but for Hemsky straight up .He is the type of "D" we need right now and not in 3-4 years . Love Hemsky but you have to give to get and it might take someone like Plante with Hemmer to get him .Then you just pick Yak and you have Gags , Hall & Yak ; RNH , Eberle & MPS or Smyth . Getting Tyutin takes away need of Murray and we await Klefbom , Marachin , Musil ,etc .

I hear ya. I don't think picking a defenseman high(first round) in the draft makes a whole lot of sense unless its a pick in the bottom ten. I think they should be trying to get another top pick to try and land either Gregorenkio or Galchenyuk. I still think Gagner would make more sense as a third line center than a second. If he wants to stay in the top 6 I think it will have to be as a winger or on a team that has a big #1 center already. Gagner could be really good trade bait for another top 5 pick.
June 18 2012, 12:14PM
In the Oilers shoes, I wouldn't consider any offer sheet that included a first round pick, so I don't see that as a viable route (plus, Colorado has virtually unlimited cap space).
I like Johnson a lot, but I can't see Colorado trading him in-division; there's just way too much potential of that coming back to hurt them.
Really? You'd be hesitant to do an offer sheet with Johnson giving up 1st, 2nd, 3rd a la Penner? Even if Oil had a pick in the 5-15 range, chances are Johnson's better. And having Johnson likely means that pick will be lower than it would be without him. Would you not trade the 10th overall pick for Johnson right now if you could? I understand the scenario is a longshot within division and all.
June 18 2012, 12:30PM
Hey Paul..
You're right about Tambellini, his lack of ability to make tough decisions could be his downfall during his time here. He must be looking over his shoulder now with MacT looking over everything he's doing. Can he really be this short sighted, or is he just waiting for the right time to punch that accelerator?
How's the new digs, is it everything you hoped it would be?
Hope the weather's fine, enjoy the summer.
June 18 2012, 01:37PM
off topic, and previously talked about, but if Evander Kane is on the block, Id be on the phone with Hemsky or PRV, Hamilton, and the 2nd round pick as bait to get him here.
The guys on the Score were talkin about Kane and possibly wanting out of Winterpeg, got me thinkin.
June 18 2012, 01:43PM
What do you think about Scott Hannan coming here?
June 18 2012, 01:47PM
@ BurkeTheTurd
That's a good question Turd. I know some people would turn their nose up to him because he wouldn't single handedly turn our defense (let alone our team) around.
But I'd certainly extend an to him, because I'm confident he'd be better then at least a few of the guys we have now, and he'd be nice insurance for if/when Whitney goes down.
June 18 2012, 01:53PM
@ OB1 & Crash
I have to agree. He won't be an all star but having depth in a position a team is weak at can't be a bad thing.
He is no saviour but nothing wrong with Oilers D fighting for roster spots.
What do you think Crash?
June 18 2012, 01:55PM
@Jonathan Willis
More spitballing.
3 Way:
To EDM: Tyutin, Gardiner, #2
To TOR: Nash, #1
To CLB: Hemsky, MPS, Kadri, Colborne, Teubert, #5,
Burke gets to make his big splash. CLB gets a decent package and retains a good pick and Edmonton gets immediate help on the blue and could draft Galchenyuk.
Edit: I changed it so Toronto had to give up a bit more. Sorry if anyone is responding in the meantime.
June 18 2012, 02:16PM
I'm optimistic that Tambellini will get something done, I tend to agree with Quick on this.
Time Is running out on Tambellini, he knows this. He also knows he cant trade the first pick. He's going to try really hard to land Murray.
I wouldn't be surprised to see, Jones-Bunz-Gernat-Hemsky and Paajarvi available to the jackets for that 2nd pick and Tyutin.
June 18 2012, 02:28PM
I like TUG's trade except I think you can do it without giving the first.
Just spitballing here.
CBJ to TOR - Nash.
TOR to CBJ - #5 pick plus Kadri and Scheen, plus a prospect.
EDM to CBJ - Hemsky - Paajarvi - Gernat - Jones and possible Bunz.
CBJ - Scheen or Tyutin plus # 2 pick or # 5 pick.

June 18 2012, 03:03PM
can we replace Bunz with Roy.
June 18 2012, 03:34PM
@Walter Sobchak
Mine gets you Tyutin, Gardiner, and Galchenyuk for less than yours gets you Yakupov, Tyutin, and Murray, so I guess it depends how you value those players.

Time for Wreckum?
July 18 2010 01:13PM
The Edmonton Oilers signed D Theo Peckham this week. Capgeek has the numbers ($550,000 salary and cap hit at the big league level, $65,000 in the AHL).
With a very reasonable end-of-the roster contract, the risk of being lost on waivers, and a less than formidable depth chart one would assume Peckham can win the day with a solid training camp.
While he was still head coach, Pat Quinn said "when I first saw him (in an Oilers uniform), the scouting report was that he was a tough kid who didn't really know how to play. When he came back (on his most recent call-up), he showed us that he had a little bit more than just being a tough guy. As he played and gained our confidence, he was gaining his own as well. They were really good minutes for him."
Tom Renney (in an interview after being bumped to the head job) said much the same, implying Peckham impressed and they were looking forward to seeing him healthy and ready in the fall at training camp. This would be a reasonable depth chart (with the top 8D's making the lineup):
- Tom Gilbert
- Ryan Whitney
- Sheldon Souray (trade block)
- Ladislav Smid
- Kurtis Foster
- Jim Vandermeer
- Jason Strudwick
- Theo Peckham (waiver eligible)
- Shawn Belle
- Taylor Chorney
- Richard Petiot
- Alex Plante
- Jeff Petry
- Johan Motin
- Jordan Bendfeld
Your list may vary, but that seems reasonable to me. Peckham has all kinds of room to move up on this list: Strudwick could be moved up front if he loses the competition, or he could retire and enter the coaching ranks; Vandermeer cleared waivers in June and can do it in the fall; Smid could falter when he takes on tougher minutes beginning in 10-11 (likely replaced by Foster) and Souray could be traded which may open up a slot in the top 6D depending on the return. Lots of room to maneuver for "Wreckum."
There is some competition below him on the depth chart, but Peckham has a strong case over the following: Belle isn't the same waiver concern so could be sent down with less worry; Chorney proved he needs more time to work on the defensive aspects of the game; Petry is a wild card who could jump the group but the organization has stated they want their prospects to progress along very specific check points (one being the AHL). The same could apply for Plante and Motin.
A prospect like Theo Peckham may never get another chance this good: he's impressed the incoming coach who is looking for exactly what he brings and the organization believes he may be able to handle a larger role based on the most recent viewing. If he shows up at TC ready to kick out the jams, Theo Peckham's NHL career might be well established one year from now.
RDS is reporting that Simon Gagne has been traded to Tampa Bay. No word on which players involved. Lightning will have a pretty good offence.
Sounds like maybe Mike Smith & a prospect(s).
Wonder if Tampa talks to Turco now EDIT: (if this is indeed true - various tweets saying Smith, but now Erik Erlendsson tweeting no goalies) gotta love twitter, lol.

Per Damian Cristodero of SP Times: It's Gagne for Matt Walker and a fourth-round pick.

In other news:
Secret Soviet Double Agent Horcoff, aka "Horcov", code name "Nogoalov" is rumoured to be lining up with the Oiler's #1 line to start the season.
(with apologies to Black Dog Hates Skunks and McDs for blatent rip-offs of their gags) -------
I have some cash money to bet with the fool that thinks Wreckum Peckham would pass waivers unclaimed. My money is safer than a home equity loan, err, because:
a) Oilers will not waive Peckham. b) In the unlikely event that they do, he will get picked up immediately.
Tough as nails guys who can actually play some hockey are a valuable commodity, and Peckham can thow 'em without hesitation and is signed to a nice, inexpensive contract. The Oilers need to have a mature vet (Strudwick?) take this kid under their wing and mentor them on what it takes to be an NHL player in terms of lifestyle, training, commitment, etc.
As much as the hockey purist in me loves to see a Paul Coffeyesque end to end rush for a goal, the sentimental neanderthal within craves to see the return of Dave Manson/Jason Smith style punch-in-the-face-bad-assery to the mixture.
Of the Dmen listed by Lowetide, the only ones listed above Peckham that you really expect to get their hands dirty are Strudwick and Vandermeer, neither of which are long term solutions.
This is the perfect time for Peckham.
He fights. He hits. He clears the net. He has the potential to be that nasty to play against defender. And the depth chart above of him, is downright laughable. Neither Vandemeer or Strudwick can be in the long term plans of the club. He should be coming in this year, perfecting how to put the puck off the glass, working on the PK and figuring out what he can get away with in front of the net. If the club is truly trying to re-build, they're not planning on making the playoffs this year. So, an occassional screw-up isn't going to have the same sting to it. Giving Peckham some on-job-training should pay off in the long-term, even if his ceiling is #5.
I was going to mention something about "figuring out what he can get away with" as well.
In the 2006 playoffs people mostly remember Matt Greene for the penalties he took. To some people it may have looked like he was getting called for doing exactly the same kind of thing that Jason Smith and Chris Pronger did all the time without consequence. While there was a learning curve to finding out what you can get away with before a penalty is called, it is also perceived that a raw rookie might not get the leeway accorded a respected veteran.
A development year is exactly when you want a Peckham to "get to know" the refs and what they expect from him. You might have to go over the edge before you know where it is...
As Aitch has pointed out, that theory holds true for the hockey errors as well. As Lowetide points out, there hasn't been a better time for Peckham to make his place in the NHL.
July 19 2010, 05:27PM
Oilers just sent this out...
The Edmonton Oilers announced today they have extended their agreement with Edmonton's leading full time hockey analyst Bob Stauffer. Stauffer will continue his duties as the colour analyst and host of all 'Oilers on 630 CHED' as well as host of 'Oilers Lunch' on The TEAM 1260. With today's announcement that Bob Stauffer's will anchor the Oilers radio broadcasts one half of the broadcast crew for next season is in place. The naming of a new play by play Oilers radio voice will be made later this summer.

The Laboratory
Looking for a lab that coordinates with this page? Try the Solar System Sports Spreadsheet Study from The Laboratory.
In Unit 2 of The Physics Classroom, an equation was given for determining the force of gravity (Fgrav) with which an object of mass m was attracted to the earth
Now in this unit, a second equation has been introduced for calculating the force of gravity with which an object is attracted to the earth.
where d represents the distance from the center of the object to the center of the earth.
In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2. When discussing the acceleration of gravity, it was mentioned that the value of g is dependent upon location. There are slight variations in the value of g about earth's surface. These variations result from the varying density of the geologic structures below each specific surface location. They also result from the fact that the earth is not truly spherical; the earth's surface is further from its center at the equator than it is at the poles. This would result in larger g values at the poles. As one proceeds further from earth's surface - say into a location of orbit about the earth - the value of g changes still.
To understand why the value of g is so location dependent, we will use the two equations above to derive an equation for the value of g. First, both expressions for the force of gravity are set equal to each other.
Now observe that the mass of the object - m - is present on both sides of the equal sign. Thus, m can be canceled from the equation. This leaves us with an equation for the acceleration of gravity.
The above equation demonstrates that the acceleration of gravity is dependent upon the mass of the earth (approx. 5.98x1024 kg) and the distance (d) that an object is from the center of the earth. If the value 6.38x106 m (a typical earth radius value) is used for the distance from Earth's center, then g will be calculated to be 9.8 m/s2. And of course, the value of g will change as an object is moved further from Earth's center. For instance, if an object were moved to a location that is two earth-radii from the center of the earth - that is, two times 6.38x106 m - then a significantly different value of g will be found. As shown below, at twice the distance from the center of the earth, the value of g becomes 2.45 m/s2.
The table below shows the value of g at various locations from Earth's center.
Distance from Earth's center
Value of g
Earth's surface
6.38 x 106 m
1000 km above surface
7.38 x 106 m
2000 km above surface
8.38 x 106 m
3000 km above surface
9.38 x 106 m
4000 km above surface
1.04 x 107 m
5000 km above surface
1.14 x 107 m
6000 km above surface
1.24 x 107 m
7000 km above surface
1.34 x 107 m
8000 km above surface
1.44 x 107 m
9000 km above surface
1.54 x 107 m
10000 km above surface
1.64 x 107 m
50000 km above surface
5.64 x 107 m
As is evident from both the equation and the table above, the value of g varies inversely with the distance from the center of the earth. In fact, the variation in g with distance follows an inverse square law where g is inversely proportional to the distance from earth's center. This inverse square relationship means that as the distance is doubled, the value of g decreases by a factor of 4. As the distance is tripled, the value of g decreases by a factor of 9. And so on. This inverse square relationship is depicted in the graphic at the right.
The same equation used to determine the value of g on Earth' surface can also be used to determine the acceleration of gravity on the surface of other planets. The value of g on any other planet can be calculated from the mass of the planet and the radius of the planet. The equation takes the following form:
Using this equation, the following acceleration of gravity values can be calculated for the various planets.
Radius (m)
Mass (kg)
g (m/s2)
2.43 x 106
3.2 x 1023
6.073 x 106
4.88 x1024
3.38 x 106
6.42 x 1023
6.98 x 107
1.901 x 1027
5.82 x 107
5.68 x 1026
2.35 x 107
8.68 x 1025
2.27 x 107
1.03 x 1026
1.15 x 106
1.2 x 1022
The acceleration of gravity of an object is a measurable quantity. Yet emerging from Newton's universal law of gravitation is a prediction that states that its value is dependent upon the mass of the Earth and the distance the object is from the Earth's center. The value of g is independent of the mass of the object and only dependent upon location - the planet the object is on and the distance from the center of that planet.

Tape rolls are cut to standard tape industry metric widths of approx. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered. As a result ACTUAL tape widths are normally 5% narrower than the NOMINAL width shown in inches. Examples:
Note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free.
FrogTape Multi-Surface Painters Tape is a medium-adhesion painters tape designed for use on:
FrogTape Multi-surface will remove cleanly from most surfaces for up to 21 days and 7 days in direct sunlight. It's recommended to test before use on all surfaces including those with texture. Patented PaintBlock® Technology is what makes it different from other painter's tapes. This technology prevents latex paint from bleeding by forming a micro-barrier along the edges (it reacts with the water in latex paint). You get a fully sealed tape edge resulting in the sharpest paint lines possible. PaintBlock® is Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) which absorbs and retains large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass - it is used in many everyday items, including baby diapers.
As with any other painting tape, it is recommended that you remove and reapply FrogTape in between coats of paint. If not, you run the risk of the layers of paint becoming too thick and bridging over the tape. This can cause the fresh paint to tear when you remove the tape.
Please note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice- free. Tape rolls are typically cut to standard tape industry metric-cut sizes - or approx 5% narrower than the nominal size (i.e. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered).
Please contact us to inquire about pricing for full-cut widths (e.g. a 6 inch roll cut to exactly 152mm instead of 144mm).

Could never name just one...
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I miss the wonderful Christmases when our children were small and easy to please. I like to make people happy. Now I give out mostly money because no one is happy with my meager offerings anyway. My grandkids have every electronic gadget on the market. Whenever they want someting, their parents or other grandparents give it to them.
But I still love everything else about Christmas! I especially love decorating my living room bay window.
"Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all."
I love decorating my whole house! I love that very first gift I wrap! I love driving through the park that is all decorated. But most of all, I love when my children come over and we decorate the tree and sing carols!
I love baking fruitcake and pignoli cookies; I love driving around the neighborhood to look at the lights; I love Christmas Eve seafood buffet; I love planning my gift purchases; I love my Christmas village; I love listening to Bing Crosby and watching Christmas DVDs
