It seems almost a miracle that they hadn't tackled it before. Fantasy role-playing warrior princesses? That's prime fodder for the overly active imaginations of Rodarte's Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
Ruby Jean. Remember that name. "You're destined for big things little Ruby Jean". It's that kind of name, and fitting for the bleach blonde beauty that opened the Marc Jacobs show. It's possible that her entrance was so picture-perfect, so holistic in mood, so Marc Jacobs at a molecular level that, at least for this editor, the message that would play out for the next seven minutes announced itself entirely in that moment.
Hair was tucked and pinned loosely into a faux 1930's bob delicately waving around the jaw line. One could almost envision the young Duras captured in time, beautiful and fresh, gracefully pushing a curl aside.
Inspired by Sarah Moon, the Sixties model and photographer, Diane Kendal from MAC cosmetics kept the makeup chic and illimitable for a look that could be lost in time. She applied MAC face and body to the skin, a favorite amongst artists for a flawless finish.
After ten years in the business, Rag & Bone's David Neville and Marcus Wainwright continue to hold on to a wise and seemingly simple credo: Cool Believability.
After winning the CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear and delivering on that promise with a Fall collection that landed right at the tippy tops of most editors' best of the season lists, one could only guess that being Joseph Altuzarra these days comes with pressure most mortals would crumble under.
The most prescient, lingering sentiment after Alexander Wang's Spring '13 show was 'focus'. It was fiercely edited, and that's not a fashionista layman's "fierce" term we're talking about here.
Collaborating with Revlon for the show, Revlon Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman stuck to subtle beauty. "I wanted to create a look that was bold, but still looked soft and natural," says Westman.
Makeup artist Diane Kendal always delivers superb artistry when executing each runway look, and this was no exception. Makeup was simple, a sporty-chic compliment to a hard-edged, streamlined collection.
Hair was prepped with Fekkai Full Blown Styling Whip in wet hair, then blow-dried flat into a deep side part. After spraying Fekkai Coif Sheer Hold Hairspray into sections, hair was pulled into a tight, low ponytail and misted with Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist for an intense luster.
Standing side by side along a wall of windows, in the large expanse of a 12th floor loft along the Hudson, were Gregory Parkinson's girls donning his breathtaking dresses for Spring.
Visions of lemon and citrus freshened up faces along with the collection, youthful florals and delicate lace sweetly adorned each dress painting the perfect image of a young girl in the summer.
A chic accessory does not go unnoticed during the fervor of Fashion Week. Street style photographer Roza Sinaysky has gone to the streets to document outstanding moments of handbag history.
Sex has been on the Wu docket for years, but never through a prism as sexually emblematic as that of Newton.
A single finger wave opposite the part strongly gave a chic effect to the total look. Diane Kendal used MAC backstage, producing a multishade red lip layering MAC Cherry Red lip pencil all over the lip, outlining the lip with Vino Lip Pencil.
Aptly named "Batteries Not Included," Nichole Miller's spring vision is what you'd call "relaxed chic," a youthful sophistication with an urban edge. "While designing my Spring 2013 collection, I was inspired by sci-fi 80s movies.
It was refreshing to finally see an original beauty moment at Ivana Helsinki; faces were beautifully sophisticated with a pleasant twist. Titled "Mourning Sun Motel," the collection was based on a film about guests at an old motel shot in Finland in the summer of 2012.
There was a drastic difference between the boudoir bondage and the beauty that accompanied it this season at BCBG Max Azria.
At a time when most artists pull farther from the public, you get the feeling that Kevin Barnes is more interested in his fans than ever before, if only to better understand himself.
Beads of sweat ran rampant in that story, based in Vietnam, and Cibani has always been something of a merry wanderer herself

I told myself after upgrading my pre-amp to a Pass XP-20 that I was not doing anymore upgrades this year. I did want to do an amp upgrade, but was happy with my current Cambridge-Audio 840W amps as this time. My amp research had me looking at the Classe CA M600 amps at the high end of what I was willing to spend. Spec wise, the Classe and Pass are rated similar, 600W/ch @ 8 ohm and 1200/ch @ 4 ohm. Both of these amps have excellent press all over. I could find nothing negative about either. Issues in my my mind are the Classe uses a fan for cooling, and I am anal about unwanted noise, while the Pass pair costs $8000 more than the Classe amps.
Anyway, the 4th of July I was looking at used gear where I bought my pre-amp, and saw a pair of X600.5 amps with 31 months left on the transferable warranty for the same price as the Classe amps. After to many beers, I sent off an email saying I was interested, and would decide by Monday. Monday came and I said what the hey, let's do it, but by then they were sold. However, since I had just bought the pre-amp, he gave me an unused demo pair, with 36 month warranty, for the same price.
They arrived today, and are beasts at around 150 pounds each. I walked each one into the living room, and installed them. I really like that my rack has adjustable shelfs and I was able to get a few more verticals inches for cooling. As of now, they are burning in, along with two new Shunyata Ztron Python power cables. Sorry KooKooNut Audio.
They sound great right from the start, and I have been assured after a week or so they will really shine. I have to admit I am a little irritated with myself for going crazy with spending, but to bad. If worse comes to worse I can always sell and recoup a good portion.
The biggest difference so far is that I need to turn the pre up a bit higher to get the same volume as with my previous amps. Later tonight after they have warmed up for a few more hours, and the outside noise has quieted down I can really start doing critical listening. Another excuse to stay up all night and drink beer.
This is just a quick picture. While things look unlevel, I did use a level on each shelf as I moved it. The problem is the DAC is crooked in the picture.

Sharknado 2 set to attack viewers tonight
In the face of another "Sharknado" TV movie (the even-more-inane "Sharknado 2: The Second One," premiering Wednesday night on Syfy), there isn't much for a critic to say except to echo what the characters themselves so frequently scream when confronted by a great white shark spinning toward them in a funnel cloud:
Spanx stretches into new territory with jeans, but promised magic is elusive

Medical marijuana opponents' most powerful argument is at odds with a mountain of research

Redskins not the only nickname to cause a stir
Daniel Snyder has come under fire for refusing to change the mascot of his NFL team, the Washington Redskins. The Redskins, however, are far from being the only controversial mascot in sports history. Here is a sampling of athletic teams from all areas of the sports world that were outside the norm.

Students and alumni from a Richmond, Va.-area high school are seeking to revive the school's historic mascot, a Confederate soldier known as the "Rebel Man," spurring debate about the appropriateness of public school connections to the Civil War and its icons.

Budget Accommodation Europe Spain Granada
Granada is a city in the south east of Spain. It is the capital of the province on Granada, which is part of Andalusia. The town is most famous for the Alhambra, a complex of Castles and Palaces on the top of the hill overseeing Granada. The city is also a favourite destination for students.

Cheap and looks like a budget hotel. However, not as close to the heart of Granada Centro as expected.

Tired of waiting for a white iPhone 4? Add some color with Incipio Feather Case [Sponsored]
Since Apple still hasn't shipped a white iPhone 4 -- much less a pink one -- I decided try out a few, fun Incipio Ultra Light Feather Cases instead. Because really, why should I have to wait for style? They come in black, turquoise, metallic black, metallic white, pink, metallic orange, forest green, yellow green, metallic gray, coral, metallic purple, and bright purple (phew!), and are thin and unobtrusive enough you'll barely notice the difference in your pocket or purse. They also come with a screen protector, so if you're worried about scratches, they've got you covered.
Changing the color of my iPhone 4 to white or pink was as simple as snapping on the case. There are openings for all of your buttons and ports with the exception of the small micro sim slot opening on the side. I do not think this omission is a big deal. I have an officially unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple and it's just something I rarely need to have access to in the first place.
Also noteworthy, the Incipio Ultra Light Feather Case should be compatible with most iPhone 4 chargers and sync cables. The wide cut around the 30-pin dock port meant everything from my slim Apple USB cable to my bulky car adapter worked just fine. I did have some problems with Apple's own dock but that is to be expected as most Apple chargers are made to exacting measurements. (I did not have any trouble with the Seidio Inno Dock Jr. of course!)
Overall I liked the look and feel of the Incipio Ultra Light Feather Case, especially the matte finish which lessens the chance that I will drop it and damage my precious iPhone. Also, the case doesn't come up over the iPhone screen which is one of my pet peeves. The white version is a little different, it feels more solid and less flexible, but that's probably due to the more difficult nature of making a white product, something Apple no doubt understands!
So if, like me, you're tired of waiting for a white iPhone (or any color iPhone really) give the Incipio Ultra Light Feather Case a try. It's the perfect way to add a splash of fun and excitement to your iPhone 4.

Man Georgia is hot lol
The Case-Mate Barely There resists scratches much better
Unless it's the chrome one like mine. I really wish case mate would make the "wet" looking black one like they did on the 3GS.
That's what I use is the wet barely there. And yes, Georgia is SMOKIN!!! OOWWWWWWWWWW!
I 3rd...4th...and 5th that....Georgia is SUPER HOTT!! Was there even a product in this review...lol...
Brilliant! More Georgia and more bloopers needed on TIPB! I'm off to start a Georgia Facebook fan page! /jokes
Great review of a nice looking case. Love the barely there style cases.
Try Skin It. All White. Looks nice too..
forget the case, does George have a boyfriend!!!
Haha, im sure that she is a tiger in bed!
OMG guys, Georgia is married! Calm down everyone, LOL!! Oh, and nice cases, thanks for the review!
My God. Georgia you are a stunner.
Thats because they are waiting to launch the white iPhone on Verizon.
Wow, you guys need to get out more. Yes, pretty girl doing an iPhone review. Move along.
I have one of these cases, although I've not actually removed it from it... case. Have three other ones I've used instead.
I had a white Incipio Feather case on my (white) 3GS, and it was great, but created quite a "drag" in and out of pockets. The newer, smoother ones feel like a big improvement. Right now, I have a hard plastic air case in white that I really love.
That's on good idea.
So, when will TiPb begin filming reviews and sponsored videos more professionally?
- Mount the camera on a tripod;
- Mount the camera on a tripod;
- Mount the camera on a tripod;
- Mount the camera on a tripod;
- Mount the camera on a tripod;
- Film in a room that isn't the kitchen. Videos,that look like home movies, and that are filmed in kitchens, usually turn out to be porn... Just sayin'. So, unless Georgia is going to be entertaining us further, I suggest you film in front of a white-ish wall, no teapots, kitchen cabinets, and tiles.
Got to agree, Georgia is looking hot!!!
@ Rhit Agreed. Dedicate a room to filming reviews. Soundproof it and make it so you don't sound like you're recording from the bottom of a rain barrel. And PUT THE CAMERA ON A TRIPOD. As much as you probably wish, your husband/BF is NOT hung like a tripod so he doesn't count.
Doom and gloom I guess. better embrace technology. it's here to stay.

NO practice next week! The bowling alley is being repainted therefore there will be no bowling practice and no Beginners Night with the Fringe Bowling team. While we are bummed that we will not be getting our practice time in or our valued time with out favorite bowling friends, we are excited to see what the bowling alley will look like once it is finished. This is going to be a great way to draw more people in to want to go bowling thanks to the new look, so we are pumped!
On a separate note, we have been really impressed with some of the people who have been coming out for Beginners Nights over the last couple of weeks. There are so many people with so much potential; it is hard to believe that they are beginners. Maybe we should start a "Not so much beginners as experienced amateurs" night! Anyway, we are always looking for more ways to grow as a team so if you or anyone you know has any fun ideas for us as far as getting involved with the community then please check out our "contact" information and send us over some great ideas.
Since there is no practice this week, we can move right in to the tip of the week. The bowling tip of the week being brought to you by Fringe Bowling is how you know that you won in bowling. Bowling, unlike golf, is a game where you want to rack up the most points possible. The person with the greatest amount of points wins. When you knock all of the pins down on the first throw it is called a strike, and when you knock all of the pins down on the second throw it is called a spare. Which surprisingly our beginners get a lot of!
There was your tip of the week, see you next time!

Joseph M. Hartfield Professor of Law
Class of 1948 Professor of Scholarly Research in Law
J.D., Harvard Law School, 1978
M.A., Stanford University, 1975
B.A., Pomona College, 1972
Michael Collins teaches Civil Procedure, Federal Courts, Conflict of Laws and Evidence. Before coming to UVA, where he is currently the Joseph M. Hartfield Professor of Law and the Class of 1948 Professor of Scholarly Research in Law, Collins taught at Tulane Law School, where he was the Robert A. Ainsworth Professor of Law.
Prior to attending law school, Collins earned a graduate degree in classical languages and literature and an undergraduate degree in history and classics. After law school, he practiced commercial and employment law in Los Angeles, practiced civil rights law in New Orleans, and was a Bigelow Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School. He has also been a visiting professor at Boston University, George Washington, Ohio State and Richmond. While at Tulane, he was a three-time recipient of the law school's distinguished teaching award.
Collins' research interests lie in the areas of federal courts, procedure and legal history. His recently published works include an essay entitled "Federal Question Jurisdiction and Justice Holmes"; a chapter in Federal Courts Stories on Tarble's Case (both with Ann Woolhandler); and an article on the treatment of jurisdictional defects in the federal courts. His writings have appeared in the California, Columbia, Georgetown, Notre Dame and Virginia law reviews. He has also co-authored casebooks on federal jurisdiction and on civil procedure, and he has published a handbook on constitutional tort litigation.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "An intense, tight wine, with stalky black currant fruit. It exhibits delicacy and elegance rather than power. Fresh fruit with an attractive smoky element make this a wine that is going to develop further, and it has a fresh, vibrant finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a quintessentially elegant Margaux, with a dense ruby/purple color and notes of charcoal, cassis, a hint of smoking embers, and a subtle touch of spring flower garden. Dense on the palate with medium to full-bodied flavors, superb concentration, and moderate tannin, this wine requires..
Cellar/Tasting Notes An absolutely stunning nose of violets, creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor and subtle new oak burst from the glass. The wine has great fruit, superb texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and an extravagantly rich, concentrated palate with low acidity and ripe tannin.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Midnight oil? Dense black purple to the rim, the 2009 Lascombes has enormous concentration, with loads of graphite, blackberry, and blueberry notes as well as hints of pen ink and truffle. The wine is super-intense, full-bodied, fleshy, and rich. This is another wine that will compete with the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark ruby/purple-hued 2009 Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux offers a big, sweet kiss of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries and blackberries, a silky texture, and a dense, concentrated, but seamless mouthfeel. This glorious wine should drink well for 20 or more years. (Tasted once.)"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The elegant 2007 Chateau Margaux's purity, depth of fruit, and overall equilibrium are impressive. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of spring flowers, black currants, and blackberries, a soft, lush, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and delicacy allied to impressive depth,..

Right, because the overlap between these communities is probably population: 1 right now, let me introduce you to Dwarf Fortress.
This is a game that has been over 10 years in the making, with still no end in sight. This is a game that is a superset of all others. This is a game in which goblins are less of a threat than rogue kittens. This is... Dwarf Fortress. There's no other way to describe it.
Ok, on a practical note the first thing you need to know is that the whole thing is done in ASCII characters. Anyone who's ever played a Roguelike before will know what I mean. It may seem really confusing at first, but once you get it in your head that 'g' = goblin, '♣' = a tree, '☺' = one of your dwarven peons, et cetera then it becomes second nature. If you're really having a hard time with it, you can use a graphic tileset or Stonesense; look that up on the wiki, which has much more information than I could ever distill here.
But what's the game about, really? Well, for starters you'll need to generate a world. It's as easy as clicking a button for you, but there's actually a lot going on behind the screens. Each world is generated from scratch: first starting with the geography, then the population. The game actually starts with a few small (~80 IIRC) groups of sentients popping up in appropriate terrain; then history is generated as these "Civs" grow, expand, and come into conflict with each other and and wandering "Megabeasts" (dragons, titans, etc.). You can adjust almost anything you want from this process, from how long of a history to simulate to overall volcanism, but worlds are generally diverse enough you can find the spot you're looking for without messing with those.
Now that you have your world, you need to choose a game mode. There are two main modes to choose from: Fortress and Adventure. There's also an Object Testing Arena, but that's mainly for modders and the easily amused. Adventure Mode is a lot like a rougelike: you play the role of a single adventurer in this world you've generated. You can go literally anywhere you want in it, (good luck swimming the oceans) however, it lacks any sort of set goal -you'll have to find your own. You can ask people for stuff they want killed, but mainly the thing to do is wander around exploring (if you're the kind of person who likes that, this game is worth it just for this).
Fortress Mode is where the real meat of the game is, however. It's more of a sim game than anything else -although the level of detail puts even professional modling software to shame. You're in charge of a fortress full of dwarves: but instead of giving dwarves direct commands, you order tasks to be done at the workshops, and a dwarf with the appropriate labor activated will go in do it. There are plenty of ways you can manipulate this simple proceedure though; if you take the time to set up an efficient system you'll reap the benefits of your labor. But likewise, if you don't find balancing complex relationships enjoyable then there are few problems that can't be solved by throwing enough dwarves at it. (Sometimes literally...) And trust me, you'll have enough dwarves. You start out with just seven, but successive migrant waves will soon leave your fort overflowing with short, hairy peasants.
On your way to becoming a successful fort, you'll encounter vicious wildlife such as carp and elephants; hordes of kittens which brainwash your dwarves and kill your framerate; Forgotten Beasts from the bowels of the earth, some of whose blood will cause your eyeballs to rot out and explode; pain in the ass nobles who ban the export of rings just after you've traded 500 of them away, which puts your master smith in jail just because he was the one who hauled it to the trade depot; cannibal hippie elves which demand you chop down less trees attack you because you accidentally offered a trade in which some random item happened to be made of wood; insane craftsmen who spend months building fractal statues; and, if you're lucky, something that eats the pet of the dwarf which just slaughtered an entire goblin siege single-handedly, causing him to snap and start rampaging through the fort.
In short, much Fun. The game has no sort of 'win' condition, only several 'lose' conditions (but losing = Fun). However, there's still much to do. If the game ended as soon as your fort was self-sufficient, there'd still be more content than most other games out there. After things are up and running though there'll always be more you can do; it's customary to build some sort of construction project that will earn you the respect and admiration of the community. If you ever get bored, there's always one thing you can do that will spell instant death for any but the most well-prepared fort... But in few intervening minutes, what Fun!
If you're interested, I highly recommend reading one or more of the tutorials on the wiki and forums. Download is here, along with a frequently-updated dev log.
I also recommend taking a look at the community as well, which IMO is where the real enjoyment from the game lies. Do a search sometime for the any of the following terms: "Boatmurdered", "Cacame", "Tholtig", "Morul", "Catsplosion", "Armok's Gauntlet", "Dwarven Computer", "Ajak", "One Dwarf Against the World", "Flarechannels", "!!SCIENCE!!". These are only those I can remember off the top of my head, and when reading about all the crazy stuff that happened in-game... keep in mind that everything is proceedurally generated. Nothing is scripted, it all happens because the right things were in alignment.
Finally, when you've got a fort or two under your belt, you might want to take a look at modding, or one of the graphic tilesets I mentioned earlier. Everything about every kind of rock or creature is stored in human-readable text files, making it possible to change almost anything. The system is simple enough that a complete newb can whip up a metal that's as light as copper, as strong as steel, twice as valuable as gold, and which only appears as veins in layers of obsidian in less than ten minutes, while complex enough to give elves 6 arms and a serpentine neck if you want to. However, I use neither mods nor tilesets, so I don't have any recommendations to give here.
So, yeah, check this out. It's really, really cool and deserves more publicity than it gets, so even if it's not the game for you then forwards the link <http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/> to someone you know who might be interested.

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has today responded to the Proposed Framework for Reorganization of PCAOB Auditing Standards (Rulemaking Docket Matter No.40) a consultation from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
ACCA Council member Dr. Kenneth R. Henry said: 'The PCAOB auditing standards are certainly due for reorganisation; we have had a decade with them in two series – the interim standards and the Board's own-issued standards. It's time to bring them together.'
In addition to his ACCA Council membership, Dr. Henry is also a CPA. This year, 2013, marks 40 years of professional accounting and auditing experience – in Jamaica, Saudi Arabia, and the USA. Dr. Henry is currently a Clinical Associate Professor at Florida International University in Miami, Florida USA.
ACCA believes that the business environment gains from the adoption of global standards. Investors, who increasingly look at investments on an international basis, benefit from greater transparency and comparability; less volatility and, consequently, less risk.
Dr. Henry continued: 'The Board recognised the need for people to find their way around the PCAOB standards; the consultation shows how they would map against the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the ASB standards. This proposal is a first step and will benefit users, but it is not a bold step. The Board has a golden opportunity to declare a clear destination for the standards and to demonstrate confidence in its ability to get then there in a more modern vehicle.'
ACCA's response to the consultation stressed the long-term advantages of adopting the ISAs in a manner that preserved the improvements in standards achieved by the Board, and matters relating to filings under Federal Securities Laws. That is the right destination and it reconciles the sets of standards and provides assurance to investors that PCAOB auditing standards meet or exceed the requirements of their international counterparts.
Dr. Henry concluded: 'The vehicle proposed for the reorganisation is about as modern as a Model T Ford – four digit references for standards that theoretically could accommodate 9999 different documents. That is too complicated. It also pays no attention to how this generation accesses information. When you read something on a cell phone or tablet you want to get straight to the relevant content, not worry about whether it is document 3103 or 6200. The PCAOB should seize this opportunity to take the lead in modernising.'

BAYLOR vs. UCLA
Thursday, Dec. 27, 9:45 pm
The Baylor Bears salvaged the 2012 season with four wins in five games to end the year, finishing with a 41-34 win over No. 23 Oklahoma State and earning a bid to the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl. Baylor is coming off a season where they didn't turn in their absolute best performance. They were 7-5, but lost three of those games by a touchdown or less. They did show that there is a ton of potential there and a win for Baylor would be a way to show that they can still take on anyone. Baylor has a couple of key players to watch in WR Terrance Williams and QB Nick Florence. As good as Kendall Wright was for Baylor in 2011, Terrance Williams has been that much better this season. He is a huge reason as to why Nick Florence has been able to throw for over 4000 yards, and the passing offense has 32 touchdowns. UCLA played a depressing pair of games the past two weeks losing in a home-and-home series to the Stanford Cardinal. They lost their shot at the Pac-12 Championship in the process. In order to gain some momentum into the next season, a Holiday Bowl win would be great for coach Jim Mora and the Bruins. The Bruins Key stud is RB Johnathan Franklin. Franklin is a back who could surprise people in the draft this year. He's been highly productive and has an excellent size and speed combination. It will be good to see how he handles the poor run defense that Baylor has in what could be a blowout.
I see no way the Bears can stop Hundley and Franklin. But I do wonder how motivated the Bruins are to be in this game after coming so close to playing in the Rose Bowl. And I'm also not sure the Bruins will slow Florence & Williams. UCLA has allowed nine receivers to have 100-yard days this season and has given up several big plays. That said I see UCLA winning this game by almost a touchdown and since this is basically a pick em there is no reason not to think that Mora ends this season on a high note with his young team. Lets roll with UCLA who should win this game by almost a touchdown and with the line moving big time with UCLA, glad we posted this early and everyone got an early jump. Not to mention a big middle if you care to look that way. Leaning towards the over as well.

If he does his marks will hit the roof and the naysayers will be squeaking as usual!
At least the "naysayers" can't say that he can still win with 4 falls
I still can't watch, but maybe in a few days.
Addicted to FSU
The program is gorgeous. Thanks for translating that interview. It is good to hear that Patrick is optomistic about the season ahead. I am counting down the days until I get to see him skate it again, this time live, at Skate Canada. I am sure it will be a much improved performance.
I think the music was well put together. Other than the falls, he was flying from one end of the rink to the other. The step sequence in the second piece of music was gorgeous. Hopefully, he will perfect it at Worlds like he perfected Aranjuez at Canadian Nationals.
Thanks ali dorate for taking the time to translate the interview for us. I wanted to hear how he felt about his disastrous skate, and being the usual Patrick ie. honest and truthful about himself, he admitted he hit a bump on the road and is determined to get back and try again.
I love this program, huge improvement from last year IMO
I was so surprised watching La Boheme. Joy, Love and Sadness - All feelings in it.
I smiled happily during his circular step and I had tears during choreo step.
it is a very beautiful and difficult! program.
La Boheme looks like it'll be a masterpiece.
Oh my goodness~!!!! I was afraid to watch because of the 4 falls - BUT THAT PROGRAM!!! I love it so much! I also understand that there is a lot to it and all the changes and that would be why the jumps weren't there.
Patrick didn't look super determined though at the beginning so it is interesting him saying he didn't want it enough.
I do hope the changes work out for him and that the coaching situation is what he needs - not just what he wants. He has made such courageous decisions putting focus on his performance and using new choreographers / going in new directions.
Mostly selfishly I just want to see this year's programs skated to their potential!
I still haven't watched it yet (I know...I'm a big chicken). What upsets me more than anything is that certain people/posters on other threads and forum are so negative about him. I get the impression that they just want him to go away. There's so much mean spirit and delight in putting this guy down. I just don't understand and am very dismayed. I hope he gets it all together for Skate Canada and all the other competitions this season. It almost makes me want to see others have a "bad day at the office" like he did, and I really don't like feeling this way
It seems in others' eyes, this young man can't do anything right, and their sentiments are totally unfounded.........There, I've said it, and I feel better.
I'll probably watch the program this week sometime when I get up the gumption.
Addicted to FSU
I'm dying to watch but will hold out until Skate Canada, I don't want my first impression of his new program be the one with the meltdown
I agree Claire that the hate towards him is so unfounded. What gets me the most is that so many of the negative opinions on Patrick are uneducated in the IJS yet when supports provide qualitative examples of why he is marked that way the haters call us defensive AND rebutted with more uneducated statements.
I totally understand you Clarie. I am also a chicken and still cannot watch last season's Worlds.
Throughout the last couple of seasons (and even before that) my friend who's also on FSU always warned me not to visit the entire forum whenever Patrick had a competition. And I thanked her after ignoring her warning for the first time. Being a Patrick fan sometimes make me feeling almost guilty. ...Well actually I feel guilty for not liking general favorites.
I am still not an uber of this new long program (I am a minority who liked Lori Nichol's works in general) but the first step sequence was much more fantastic in live, especially because of the ice coverage. IIRC he covered more than 2/3 of the ice with the CiSt(!) in almost rectangular form. He just flew over the ice with those lovely little hops, twizzles and small dance movements, while not losing any speed. The upper body moves can be a bit more extended and loosen but I think it's a matter of time, since I felt the same way when I saw Aranzuez for the first time.
One more thing I appreciated to David Wilson for the step seq. is that he actually made Patrick doing twizzles in both feet. His RF twizzle was a killer from the later half of the last season but he did not perform the LF twizzle that much. However it can be found in the sequence this time and it was lovely. His RF twizzle becoming better throughout the last season and I hope something like that for LF as well.
He also became much faster; totally different from what I've seen at shows in August. The transitions in this program were not jam-packed in my untrained eyes and it surely helped him drawing more speed. Not saying he's doing more crossovers though, he maintains edges longer and deeper and it seemed as hard as Lori's intricate works. His skating skill itself was also improved(!). I have no idea how he is able to keep improving in the skating skill area which he's already on the top of the world. And while I am OK with the other lower PCS he've got this time, I personally cannot agree that he should get that much lower SS than Takahashi and Plushenko. (If I write things like this in the other threads I will be burned so I'm only saying in here...)
In a case of meltdown, I was so frustrated at first but then remembered Patrick always had a kind of meltdown at his summer competitions in the previous seasons. (Almost all the Liberty comps and last year's Golden west) Of course this time it's a bit later but I'll wait at least utill COR before becoming serious. I am a bit worried of his quads though, the landing was not in his best.
Having said that, I know this is quite off the topic, but Patrick always showed something extreme whenever I saw him live in competitions. I only attended his competition 4 times and saving the 2010 nationals he always on the one end in performance-wise. First one was the disasterous 2008 GPF, then 2010 Canadians, then the glorious 2011 Canadians and now this.
If there is a rule that skategod assigned for this pathetic fan, I should be at Sochi 2014 to see(and hope) the rule actually happening.
So, what was his working with Mr. Dean? Dying to know!
Last edited by vigiliae; 10-09-2012 at 05:02 AM.
I was really bored with the program, much to my chagrin. Nice movements in it but there is almost nothing memorable about it. Fortunately, Patrick can just stroke around the rink and I'm captivated.
For Clarie and anyone else who feels this way, I have stopped full stop going into those threads because it was having a disproportionately negative affect on me. Funny, how the opinions of strangers upon a stranger can hurt ones feelings. But what really crossed the line for me was when I realized that those threads and posters were actually taking away my enjoyment and love for the sport. That's just not cool, and so ridiculous. We're all fans, right? We're all here to enjoy the sport. So I'm going to keep my love for it by sticking with you guys.
And yes, I'm also too chicken to watch the FD. It's all good though. Patrick is amazing.
I too like Nichol's work but I usually appreciate it with my mind rather than my heart and I feel that La Boheme is a more musical program from the beginning to the end than most of the programs Lori choreographed for Patrick. Wilson puts sentiment into his choreographies and this is somehow transferred to the skater's performance as well. My perception could be all wrong but I do think Chan skates La Boheme with more freedom and enjoyment than he did Aranjuez where I often found him tense and not letting himself go 100% even on his good days.I am still not an uber of this new long program (I am a minority who liked Lori Nichol's works in general)
I have to wonder if Chan will ever get to nail both quadruples in this new program because unlike some other skaters he's got a lot of transition skating into them - steps, turns, arm movement - and there's little time left for him to prepare those jumps.I am a bit worried of his quads though, the landing was not in his best.
Btw, does anyone know what spot in La Boheme Patrick was planning to do his second jump combination in?
Yes, Clarie. I find this type of obsessive compulsive hatred incomprehensible. I would like to think that God (if you believe in one) gave us bigger brains and hearts for a reason. If these people think they are doing the sport a favour, they are dead wrong. When I see people smashing public properties when their teams lose, I (sadly) associate the sport with fanatical behaviours. Having said this, thank goodness I still love watching figure skating and the skaters whose incredible skills continue to awe and give us much joy. On the contrary Claire, the more the haterzs attack Patrick, the more determined I am to love him and his skating because reason and heart dictate that I should protect those who are being crucified. Go Patrick go.Originally Posted by Clarie
Vigiliae, thank you for sharing your opinions on Patrick's program and skating. His JO skate is reminiscent of his skate when he was a junior which I have watched on you-tube. He would skate as was practised despite falling again and again. When I first watched these vids, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-0QSGLcl_c I thought … "gee .. this kid is a tough cookie".

Thanks so much guys. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who feels this way. My big hope is that Patrick pulls himself together for the rest of the season. This is turning out to be the "Patrick Chan Support Thread"....lol
Addicted to FSU
More like "Patrick's Fans' Support Thread"!
I've stopped going into most competition threads for exactly this reason. In the past two or three seasons it seems that the threads have become so negative (not just towards Patrick, but toward many skaters) that my reaction after reading them was, "Do I even want to bother watching this competition when it is broadcast? It sounds pretty bad" - when, in actual fact, the competition was very interesting and entertaining when I watched it. After a few occurrences like this, I decided the information from the play-by-play threads did not counterbalance the overall negative attitude they engendered.But what really crossed the line for me was when I realized that those threads and posters were actually taking away my enjoyment and love for the sport.
It's unfortunate, since I'm sure I miss quite a bit of useful information and some witty comments, but I think I enjoy the competitions much more withouth the help of the competition threads (and 'those' threads are one step lower than the play-by-play threads).
The planned elements of each skaters were open to the public in a website.
(Sorry, all written in Japanese.)
According to this, Patrick's elements were:
As vigiliae said, he did 3F after 3F-1Lo-2S during the warm-up. I remember the lady sit next to me said, when seeing this jump, "Oh, he jumps high!"
Watching his skate on the big screen in my house, I enjoyed his performance as well as beautiful music very much.
(Actually I didn't enjoyed much at JO, I just crossed fingers throughout his performance.)
Now I notice how he paid so much attention to every detail of the choreography. No wonder he missed the rhythm of jumps.
And that second 3Lz! Do you remember the entrance of 3Lz at his SP "Tango de los Exilados"? That was one of my favorite entrance into 3Lz and it's back!
Of course it's very difficult and risky because if he fall like this time, he lose many points because it is the second 3Lz and it has to be a combination. But how gorgeous it would be if he succeeds it!
Anyway I'm not worrying about his jumps. He did great 4T-3T and good 3A during the practice as I said before. He has not lost his beautiful jumps. And I'm sure this beautiful program will develop in due time.

Connection Between Red Meat and Cancer
By Beth Bence Reinke
Yet another study—this one including more than half a million people—confirms what our docs have been warning us about: Eating red meat increases cancer risk. So we can't help but wonder, Why is red meat so bad? Recent research revealed at least part of the answer as chronic inflammation. Scientists discovered that red meat introduces a certain sugar molecule that the body doesn't recognize, therefore causing an inflammatory immune response. This response leads to chronic inflammation—a known risk factor for cancer. But there is good news: As the inflammation goes down, so does the risk. Speaking of chronic inflammation, instead of using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) to reduce it, simply reach in your spice cabinet. According to Bharat Aggarwal, PhD, professor of cancer medicine at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, natural anti-inflammatories like curcumin (found in turmeric and curry powder) are effective against chronic inflammation without the side effects of prescription or OTC drugs. Aggarwal recommends taking 500 mg of curcumin a day.
