Osiris PLG skate shoes

Wednesday, April 1, 2009


The Bottom Line

The Osiris PLGpro model is a pretty good all around skate shoe. It's light, breathable, durable, and looks good. Unfortunately, it can take some time to break the shoes in. Also, the laces that come with the shoes aren't going to last - you'll be needing to replace them pretty quick, if you do many tricks. But, the shoes do look good, have a good design, and don't weigh your feet down.
Pros
  • Lightweight and breathable, with mesh side panels and breather holes in the toes
  • Durable - made of triple stitched action leather
  • Pro model - designed by Pierre Luc Gagnon
Cons
  • Stiff - the leather on the upper (the top of the shoe) takes some time to break in
  • The laces are weak, and very exposed on the sides to being torn from doing flip tricks

Description

  • Strong, sturdy leather upper
  • Breathable mesh side panels and toe perforation
  • Padded ankle cuff holds the heel in place
  • Tongue straps hold the tongue in place, while also holding the foot
  • Thick padded tongue - not super puffy, but thick enough to add comfort and stability
  • Strong, angled tread scored to provide better flex
  • Available in six different color schemes (black and white with: red, gray, white, black and blue)
  • Pierre Luc Gagnon pro model

Guide Review - Osiris PLG skate shoes review (Pierre Luc Gagnon pro model)

These are good, solid shoes. They're tough, light and stylish.

First off, they're tough. Made from thick, sturdy action leather, the Osiris PLGs can take the beating that skating dishes out. Not only made from heavy duty leather, the shoes are double stitched - a must for high quality shoes for any sport, but especially for skate shoes.

The PLGs are also light weight. That's a hard mix, strength and light weight, but these shoes pull it off. The soles are fairly standard, without too many bells or whistles. They're thin enough for you to feel your board, but still provide some comfort.

Unfortunately, before these shoes get comfortable, you have to spend a while breaking them in. For several days the shoes flexed with each step so that it bit my toe on one foot. This is an odd problem, and after some wrestling with the shoes, they worked ok, but I had to mention it.

The second frustration is bigger - some skate shoes come with good, strong thick laces that can last for a while through the trials of skating. The laces that come with these shoes are not only exposed through a poor design that puts them in the perfect spot to get worn with each ollie, but the laces themselves are light and thin. So, when you try out Osiris PLGs, pick up an extra set of tougher laces.

Otherwise, these shoes are good. Light and tough - a hard mix to pull off, and looking good.

Why Nursing

Sunday, December 28, 2008

One thing you should know before entering the nursing profession or for that friend of yours, who decided to become a Red Cross nurse after testing her life choices at least twice, is that Nursing has its hazards. Especially in hospitals, nursing care facilities, and clinics, where nurses may care for individuals with infectious diseases. Being able to care for a patient and at the same time acquiring a firm base of scientific knowledge are indispensable elements of a nursing career.

Individuals considering nursing should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of enrolling in a BSN program, because, if they do, their advancement opportunities usually are broader. This can decrease the amount of mandatory overtime that nurses are required to work. In addition, the number of older people, who are much more likely than younger people to need nursing care, is projected to grow rapidly. For example, employment is expected to grow more slowly in hospitals which comprise health cares largest industry than in most other health care industries. In addition, the financial pressure on hospitals to discharge patients as soon as possible should produce more admissions to nursing care facilities.

In this continually changing environment, it is important to study the trends in nursing jobs in order to determine a successful career path. Emergency, or trauma, nurses work in hospital emergency departments and treat patients with life-threatening conditions caused by accidents, heart attacks, and strokes.

With the help and support of more experienced nurses, nurses participate in the nursing process from the beginning. Their nursing expertise and experience on a health care team equip them to manage ambulatory, acute, home-based, and chronic care.
