Wondering what Paul & Islam were thinking watching this competition and seeing where the Shibs and I&K placed. P&I beat the Shibs last year at Jr Worlds.
W&P are now the clear #2 in ice dance for Canada after this result IMO. I wonder if P&I will have a shot at overtaking C&P next year at Canadians so that they could go to worlds.
I really hope P&I will be assigned to Nebelhorn or some other senior B competition to allow them to get some ISU points. Otherwise, they will not get invited to GP events (outside of Skate Canada) and they will have bad start orders because of a low ranking.
I'm wondering what SC is thinking about C&P's result here. They were kind of dumped.

Alcohol...Cigarettes...Drugs...Poor nutrition...Use of pain killers, advil and tylenol use, especially...pollution and exposure to industrial and household chemicals (cosmetics and especially cleaning products)...
Don't stop the exercise. It's one of the best things you can do for your liver. Just be mindful of the other "stuff" and, systematically, try to reduce or eliminate your exposure to them.
How many carbs in your protein drink? Check your nutrition label. You may have to cut down in your intake of carbs to get better control.
You see, as an example if you eats eggs (good fat) and have water to drink, no problem. Your body will break it down as it is a natural fat. If you had OJ with that egg, then your body can't break down that fat from in the egg because it has to get rid of the processed sugar from the juice first thus storing the fat from the egg (not good).
Drop all processed sugars from your diet including fake sugars. That also means juices of any kind which are loaded with sugar. The worst thing in the world to drink is orange juice. If I had to explain the process for OJ, you'd run.
Anyway, Let me know what you are eating and I would be happy to send you a nutritional guide to assist you.
1) Carbs, bread, sugar or sugar replacement of any kind, hanburgers sausage, hot dog out!!!
2) fresh fish till I swam, fresh chicken, fresh green vegitables
3) 6 to 8 meals a day of smaller amounts = 3 moderate meals
4) use egg white no yoke as after work out protean, egg white omelette with tomato,onions for taste or as boiled egg white right after training. NO YOKE
5) most protean drinks or snacks are high in carbs,sugar, aspartame ( sugar replacement) reported as the worlds most danerous food adative, rest the pancrease CARBS = SUGAR
And I beg to disagree that we need to keep HbA1c below 5.4. This will mean lots of people will be on unnecessary medications and there will be lots more morbidity and mortality from hypoglycemia. For older folks, mortality rate is best if the value is between 6.0 and 6.5,
Matt was as shocked as I was and did some research, specifically checking with another kettlebell instructor who is also a diabetic. Her answer was that exercise of this intensity produces an ATP (adenesine triphosphate) overload which triggers the liver to release extra sugar. This is second- or third-generation Info and I've probably screwed some of it up, but the result is the same.
What has been working for me is to check my b.s. immediately before exercising and adjust it if it seriously out of whack (I've been trying for around 110-120. Leave the pump on and check it again halfway. Adjust again if necessary (I usually don't adjust) and then check again Immediately afterwards. That seems to be working as long as I eat within an hour. The couple times I didn't do that, I was low (53 & 39). Now I go to Subway (pardon the plug but it's close and works for me) and get a steak and egg on whole wheat with lots of veggies and no dressing, and I'm good the rest of the day. Incidentally my HgA1C was 6.3 a month ago. Part of it was diet, but I credit kettlebells with a lot of the improvement. I'm hooked for life.
It sounds like the regimen that you're following is similar. Since you don't have a pump to adjust your b.s., don't forget to drink lots of water. That'll help you keep your sugar in check. I keep a 12 oz can of V-8 with me whenever I'm doing something that might produce a low. That's 18g of healthy carbs. If you're just a little low, just drink part of it. It'll do a lot more good than one of those protein drinks, and you'll have 3 of your vegetable servings out of the way for the day.
Good Luck!
It is a daily struggle to keep the intake of food, physical activity and insulin dosaging in balance. It's an exericise in experimentation each day I wake up. I completely understand this poster's dilemna regarding BS and exercise. He just may have to experiment for a bit to see what works best for him.
One of the great byproducts of hard labor is you sleep, soundly. Have you ever considered your improved A1C may have to do with improved sleep quality?
I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I also have Type 2 Diabetes. Which came first, I do not know...But. I was a terrible snorer since I was a child. And, now, I hardly snore at all. What has had the greatest impact on both my OSA and T2 Diabetes?
To understand how sleep can effect metabolism (and blood sugar), please, read the following excellent article...
Never had a problem with sleeping unless completely stressed or ill.
My A1C has dropped each and every test taken. While it's the same job, each day is a little bit more activity or a little less. That's why I can't figure out insulin dosaging and the consumption of carbs. I'm learning to deal. The job is relatively new, about 7 months. This is the first time I've had to deal with physical labor and insulin since my diagnosis in '06. I work 4-5 hours a day, five days a week. Constantly on the move along with lifting and stretching. The weekends, I very rarely go low, unless I decide to exercise. I think I get enough during the work week. At the moment, can't wrap my head around more physical activity. Probably will when the weather warms up (in the Midwest.)
I've just my lost my health insurance. I had been considering the pump because I need insulin 24/7. Yep, even with Type 2 diabetes. I'm probably between Type 1 and 2 (according to my doc), but testing has never been done. My doctor doesn't consider it necessary as I will always need insulin regardless of what the diagnosis is.
Good sleep can be a cure-all for many woes.
Thanks for the link to the article.
Other sides to the effect of exercise include the effect on arthritis, mental acuity, and the heart muscle. Each of these has been shown to benefit from exercise, whether it is walking and weight bearing, or the more extreme exercise programs popular today. Personally, at my age, I prefer the former form of exercise as compared to the extremes-less chance of damage. Heck even something as simple as doing pull ups/chin ups caused me to herniate a disc so the answer is don't over strain.
Most of us here that are conscientious about our diabetes have become acclimated to a lifestyle of healthy eating, and exercise. The benefits are there, just have to stay focused. Good luck all!
Truly wierd body chemistry in that I need the basal insulin just to keep my BS numbers normal. I've I am active more than usual, my BS drops. Hence, intake of carbs to get back to normal. I have no control over the activity as each is different at work.
Yes, happy and strong. Thank you.
Had two herniated discs in my back. Doc didn't know how it happened. I didn't know how it happened. He said if you step of a curb just the little bit of a wrong way, you can herniate a disc. Straining going to the bathroom can be detrimental to your discs (keep up that fiber intake!) LOL. His words, not mine.
The benefits are ten-fold. Heck, a hundred-fold.

Forces Film Festival
Friday, 19 July 2013
Young people from across Hampshire have been getting creative with the help of the armed forces.
Thanks to funding from the Ministry of Defence Community Covenant, more than 100 young people from Fareham and Gosport, East Hampshire and Rushmoor wards have engaged with the local armed forces and created original animated films.
Hampshire County Council has been working with young people from three areas, using Arts Centres as central hubs.
- In Fareham and Gosport the young people have worked at Ashcroft Arts Centre with HMS Collingwood
- In Bordon and East Hampshire the local youngsters worked with the Phoenix Theatre & Arts Centre and Bordon Garrison.
In Aldershot and Farnborough they partnered with West End Centre and the Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment
All of the groups carried out research into the armed forces, including meeting and interviewing forces' personnel, visiting relevant museums and sites including HMS Collingwood, HMS Bristol, Bordon Garrison, the Gurkha Museum and Aldershot Military Museum.
Councillor Keith Mans, Deputy Leader of Hampshire County Council and Executive Lead Member for Children's Services, said: "Many of the young people are from military families so this is a topic close to their hearts. For others this was the first time they had considered the significance of the armed forces in Hampshire. The project has promoted a sense of understanding, respect and interest, and provided a fantastic example of how arts can make difficult topics engaging for young people. Film-making has proved to be an excellent vehicle for learning to work together, for confidence-building through decision making, planning a project, working to tight deadlines and turning creative ideas into a professional finished product, to screen in front of a real audience."
Leigh Johnstone, Local Arts Development Officer at Ashcroft Arts Centre, said: "This project has fired up imaginations, giving young people fantastic opportunities to learn more about both the Army and Royal Navy and develop their creative skills. It has been a pleasure working with HMS Collingwood, a partnership that I hope will continue into the future."
The Community Covenant grant scheme has been set up to fund local projects that strengthen the ties or the mutual understanding between members of the Armed Forces Community and the wider community in which they live.
Up to £30 million over 4 financial years (2011 - 2015) has been set aside by the MOD to help communities undertake projects that promote greater understanding between the military and civilian populations.

Yowza Juno Treadmill Review
Yowza Fitness specialize in making quality fitness equipment that provides all the features you need to achieve and maintain fitness in the home. Whether your aim is weight loss or to run indoors away from the cold Yowza Fitness treadmills could be the answer. The Juno treadmill represents the entry level for Yowza but is comparable to most intermediate treadmills with the benefits that come with it.
The speed rises to a maximum of 10 mph, this is a very fast run when you consider jogging is around 6 to 7 mph. The incline goes up to 15%. These give the possibility of a very varied run from a gentle hilly jog to a sprint. This is powered by the continuous duty motor which is designed to comfortably power these functions. The deck is separated from the frame and "floats" so the treadmill suffers no vibration when in use.
The workout programs are a real feature on this treadmill as they are with all Yowza Fitness equipment. There are 15 programs with many having further intensity levels so beginners and experienced runners can still get a good workout with the same program. They range from fat burning programs to interval and stamina training and more catering to a variety of fitness aims.
In the handlebars are pulse rate grips which read your heart rate which is displayed on the LCD display. The heart rate program uses this reading and adjusts the incline to keep your heart rate at the optimum level. This has the potential to help you achieve excellent results for the effort you put in. There's also a fitness test that gives you a score using the heart rate grips measuring your body as it recovers from exercise.
The Juno also comes with the little touches you need in a treadmill like a water bottle holder and a sound system with speakers and MP3 docking station. It can take a user weight of up to 300 lbs so it's built to last using high grade materials and components. If you're looking for an in home treadmill that's capable of providing all your exercise needs then the Yowza Juno is a great one to consider.

In any case, just because Plush, Irina, and Alena Leonova for that matter, are Russian does not mean they are necessarily "balletic" in their styles of skating. If Plush took ballet training before he went to Mishin, then he must have stopped focusing on ballet training once he came under Mishin's wing. Surely Plush had great potential as a dancer -- that is abundantly clear. But in the above interview, Plush is quoted as saying, "I chose skating." Therefore, he apparently stopped taking ballet lessons once he chose to become a skater. (What was his age when he went to train with Mishin?) IMO, Plush would have benefited by continuing some rigorous off-ice ballet training. I seriously doubt that happened, particularly because it does not seem that Mishin stresses the importance of ballet to gain more stretch, flexibility and grace on the ice.
Altho' I am guilty of continuing to respond to your posts, lala, this is the wrong thread in which to continue this discussion if its solely about Plush, his artistry and his ballet training.
Poor Kurt (again) Look at the commotion your tweets have created. Tweet in paragraphs, be concise and specific if you ever tweet the P word again otherwise be prepard to be ....
I think Plushenko is better looking than Godunov, that he looks more like Liepa (the father, Vasiliev's contemporary), and that he'd have been great in Vasiliev's roles, although his Crassus would be as good as his Spartacus.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
He really admires Plush.
The legendary Nijinsky program, eleven 6.0!! Perfect.
The choreographer was a young ballet dancer in Balshoi, Yuriy Smekalov.
A German documentum film:
And if you want to know what think the Russians about Plush( Kostomarov etc.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBqGEGsRigc Plushy had not only ballet lessions but Mishin brought him a teacher, who teached Plushy how to make faces in perfromance.

Maybe the administrator can move this post to the Trash can and change to another title? I mean we can keep a post here to discuss the rest of Kurt's article and discuss about Plushenko in the Trash Can? (actually I am quite enjoy reading these discussions since they are funny, but now it is quite OT so...)
Sonia Bianchetti Garbato about EC http://www.soniabianchetti.com/about_sonia.html
Plushenko, who placed second in the short program, gave a strong performance to "Tango de Roxanne", which included a quadruple toe-loop and seven triples, including two triple Axels. Evgeny's free program was the only flawless program of the event. The fact he was able to execute a quad was a kind of miracle because of the serious problems he is having with his knee. He will have to undergo surgery again in the next weeks.
In spite of this, the Czar was able to give an explosive performance, at great speed and full of passion. Evgeny was the only skater who really filled the ice, who was able to communicate all the time with the spectators in the arena, driving them crazy. Once again he proved to be a great champion. Welcome back, Evgeny! But a question comes to my mind: why do we have to rely on the comeback of an old champion to create such an atmosphere in the arena? Why are the new talented skaters not able to achieve this? Is there something wrong in the development of the sport?
The charmer of ice returned to his throne, not that he was ever gone for that matter. Evgeni Plushenko, the charismatic Russian with graceful aetherial movement succeeded once again to charm audiences and judges and climbed to the highest top of the podium at the European Figure Skating Championships held in Sheffield, England. He knew that all media lights would be turned on him due to his absence from major events last year. Everybody waited in the ... corner to record any slip. Eventually, he did not made them the favor.
Despite a knee injury, the Russian with blond hair - his trademark - slided on the ice with that characteristic ease of his which gives the illusion of ... convenience. For Plushenko figure skating is not just a sport, but his whole life...
The King of all comebacks
I said previously but I'll say it again. Holy Crap. Oh my goodness. The men's free programme was something else. In the big daddy of all shocking comebacks Evgeni Plushenko skated out of his skin and scored his best mark ever to win the European title for the seventh time. Seriously there aren't enough italics in the world for me to properly convey my surprise and awe at this situation. The man is unbelievable. His free skate to an amazing arrangement of 'el tango de Roxanne' was just fabulous, full of power, drama and attack and despite not having skated in a while he still looked close to swaggering, imperious best.
Όταν βγήκε στην παγοπίστα είδαμε ένα άλλο πατινάζ. Το πατινάζ του Plushenko είναι μακράν το καλύτερο. Θα έλεγα ότι είναι εκτός ανταγωνισμού. Λες και όλοι οι υπόλοιποι είναι γήινοι κι ο Plushenko από άλλο γαλαξία. Η συνολική βαθμολογία (261.23 με διαφορά 15 από τον δεύτερο) δείχνει ακριβώς αυτό το χάσμα.
When he got on the ice we saw another figure skating. Plushenko's skating is the absolute best by far.I would say he is beyond any competition. It is like all the rest (skaters) are from earth and Plushenko is from another galaxy! His total score indicates exactly that chasm!
...Morozov is the most spread coach in figure skating. He coaches and choreographes for all 4 cathegories. Morozov sums up the Europeans for the Team Russia 2014.
TR: What was the main event of the Europeans?
NM: Pluschenko's gold. I'm overwhelmed with his skating! In the Lp he showed the level that no one could this season, not even the Canadian Patrick Chan. Many say Pluschenko's components were too high, but I would give him even higher marks! He has the charisma that a true champion must have....
"I am shocked form Plushenko's skating"
The expert of "Gazeta Ru" Nikolay Morozov about the results in the EC- 2012
The expert of "Gazeta Ru" Nikolay Morozov, observing the results of the European championships of figure skating, stated, that he was shocked form Evgeni Plushenko's performance in Sheffield. The famous coach and producer valued highly the artistry of the 7 times European champion.
The main event of the competition in Sheffield became the return of Evgeni Plushenko. I was simply shocked from his performance. How much masculine power he has!
In the free program Evgeni showed such a level, which in this season cannot show even Patrik Chan.
And the marks for the components are not heightened. I would have put even higher ones! The skating, which Plushenko shows, is a real man's skating. He has a charisma. That is why his skating is a felt like a skating, not just walking on the ice.
"The return of Plushenko – this is a remarkable event in the life of the world sport. I cried all the night from exaltation after his performance, because he went out winning over himself, his fear and pain, and showed all the world how a great sportsman of nowadays should behave and live. Plushenko leads not only our figure skating, but the world figure skating. I admire this impulse in him and bow down before Mishin's talent. All this calls forth exaltation and an enormous gratitude." – said Tarasova in a phone conversation.
The coach thinks, that the performance of Plushenko was prepared "very professionally and knowledgeably". "In the beginning of the free program the most important element was done – the quad, and all the rest were as if strung after it. Zhenya skated with an enormous joy and presented with this joy all the planet."
"I can imagine what a hard work it had been – to prepare Plushenko, to help him recover from the injury. I am very grateful to Alexey Mishin and to all the team – the choreographer, the coach for the general physical training, I am grateful, of course, to Zhenya too. I am grateful to his wife Jana, that she keeps this fire burning.
Nicky Slater, Eurosport commentator
Skating highlights? Plushenko, of course. Evgeni was not 'more of the same' for me, which is what I expected. There was less frenetic movement, more strength in his presence, sophistication in the choreography and maturity, plus the impressive technical. Great to see him back stronger than ever.
Sinead Kerr:
The main event this year – if the crowd was anything to go by – was the Men's. The arena was packed and the audience was excited, mainly, I think, because of the return of Olympic gold medallist and twice silver medallist, Evgeni Plushenko, who – as ever – didn't disappoint.
We have done many shows with Evgeni and there is no doubt that he is a star in the skating world. He has a presence which is hard to define and almost impossible to imitate – as his training partner, runner up Artur Gachinski, can attest to.
Artur skated cleanly and landed more quads than Evgeni, tried his best to skated like him and in some ways is more able in the transition steps. Yet, somehow, when he finished, he was met with good applause rather than the impromptu standing ovation and wild enthusiasm following Plushenko. Many people questioned Evgeni's comeback, but I think he proved here in Sheffield that he is still one of the best competitors ever in the sport and certainly a big draw. He is also a charmer, praising the organization and atmosphere of the event in his interview following the competition.
Re David Avdish, since I'm not familiar with him at all, I don't know how you can determine that I "don't like him." Thanks for the introduction, btw.
Re what you or someone else said before about Plush being more handsome than Alexander Godunov, yes I agree there's some truth to that. However, Godunov had a more rugged, sensual charisma and sexual appeal, at least for me.
Okay, so Plush is balletic God of ice for Russians. So be it. IMHO, Plush was clearly more balletic at a younger age on the ice, but any focus on the finer details of balletic grace is not apparent to me in his later skating career. As he matured, Plush's focus seems to have been more on training to perfect and maintain consistency on his jumps, no matter that he also took some ballet training and tried to incorporate dance elements/ themes in his skating. Pre-2010, Plush seemed more focused on footwork and did not engage his upper body as much. His use of his arms is apparent but seemingly more like an afterthought. It must be hard (even for a great ballet choreographer) to tell a skating God what they should be doing in order to finish off moves with more stretch and balletic grace.
Also, I do not like the hunching forward tendency when landing jumps that many males (including Plush) exhibited during a certain period. Much of that changed when Johnny Weir displayed his effortless jumping style and smooth upright landing carriage circa 2003 - 2008. Johnny had developed such great posture largely due to his years as a young equestrian athlete.
Okay, lala, re your #73 post:
OH BOY, I know Kurt Browning is not coming back to compete eligibly, but at this point in this thread, we need some Kurt quotes and Kurt vids going, don'tcha think? Besides, we must give Kurt some credit that his wife is a ballet dancer.

Kurt is one of the best figure skaters to never win an Olympic medal. Like at Academy Awards, there should be an honorary award/ gold medal given to skaters like Kurt for their extraordinary accomplishments and contributions to the sport. Thank you, Kurt!
Thanks lala, there are some articles I missed from EC. I am not saying that expert won't find Plushenko good, they are (at least some of them are). I was just being sarcasm.
Re aftershocks, since we are not ending the discussion then I would just point out that Dai is an elegant skater but his style is not ballet style IMO. Plushenko on the other hand is classic Russian ballet style skater. IMO Dai's style is more closer to the contemporary dancing.
And thanks for all Kurt's links, he is a great entertainer and his 3A is gorgeous. The sing in the rain (with hair version) is really nice. He has really amazing steps. BTW, I think Plushenko once said that he likes Browning's steps (or the way to control the blade, I forgot his exact words).
But I would say that I like Plushenko's flamingo better. I hope someday he can do a full flamingo program instead of just half of it.
Way OT: The tap dancing from Kurt and the ballet quality in Plushenko lead me to think about the movie "white night", one of my favorite movies.
^^ I agree that Dai has a contemporary style of movement, but great jazz and modern dance (and especially in this era, all styles of dance) benefit by ballet training. Professional dancers today must have ballet training if they hope to be successful. There is a video on youtube with Dai speaking to a famous Japanese ballet dancer to gain advice; also Dai took dance (ballet?) lessons to prepare for his Rockin' Swan program, under Morosov.
Kurt is the epitome of "entertainer"!
Ah, I can definitely see Plush as a Flamingo http://anwo.com/store/flamingo_toy.html
-- (you mean flamenco, eh?)
I love your reference to White Nights! There should definitely be a remake staring Evgeni Plushenko and Kurt Browning!
As for ballet training, I am not saying that Dai or other skaters do not have ballet training. Just to say that Plush's style is different from them, he is more classic ballet style while contemporary dancing is a bit softer in moves (IMO).
Again this is your opinion on jumps and your preference. For me, I like Plush's jumps because his jumps are powerful yet elegant. Weir's jumps are beautiful, which fit his smoothing style. While Plush's jumps fit his powerful skating. These are different styles, not that one is better than the other. So let us agree on disagree againAlso, I do not like the hunching forward tendency when landing jumps that many males (including Plush) exhibited during a certain period. Much of that changed when Johnny Weir displayed his effortless jumping style and smooth upright landing carriage circa 2003 - 2008. Johnny had developed such great posture largely due to his years as a young equestrian athlete.

Anyone used one of these, have any opinions of it? The question is halt moot as I've already ordered one and will be receiving it today, but curious if there are any other owners out there, have not seen it discussed much.
I read good reviews online, but those were mostly from retarded Amazon shoppers who can barely write an intelligible sentence sometimes.
One thing I will say, its ugly as well. It'll likely be the ugliest piece of gear I've ever owned. I have to wonder if that's on purpose, if you want something from them that looks decent you'll need to spend more money.
I guess that's it, I'll share my thoughts when I've had some time with it, but wanted to see if anyone else has any comments.

Boaters looking at the central and northern sections of the Western US are pleased to see significant improvements in snowpack and water supply in many drainages. River levels and the length of the season in individual areas will be effected by spring weather. Here's some specifics on Rivers throughout the Northwest:
Idaho has the highest number of whitewater
river miles of any state. This season with
snowpacks exceeding 100% there could be
dangerously high runoff during the peak. Boaters
should use extreme caution in these conditions.
Later in the season will still offer many boating
opportunities. There are always runable levels on
the Main Salmon, Lower Salmon, and Snake Rivers
and extended seasons on the Payette.
Washington State is in for a big start to the
river season with most SNOTEL sites exceeding 100%
of average.
Utah and Colorado have excellent snowpack in
the northern and central portions of the states
with pack in the south somewhat less.

Royal visit marks Sir Harold Hillier Gardens' 60th anniversary
Wednesday, 10 July 2013
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall will visit Hampshire County Council's Sir Harold Hillier Gardens on Tuesday 9 July 2013 to mark its 60th Anniversary, and officially open the refurbished and extended Centenary Border.
Her Royal Highness will make a short tour of the 180 acre garden paradise, set in the heart of countryside at Ampfield near Romsey, and meet local school children in the Education Garden before making her way to the Centenary Border which is 250 metres long - the same length as London's Tower Bridge and the longest double border in the UK.
The Duchess will be welcomed by Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Dame Mary Fagan DCVO JP, Chairman of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Ken Thornber CBE and Councillor Roy Perry the Trustee of Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Leader of Hampshire County Council.
Sir Harold Hillier was the third generation of a famous nursery family. He was a great plantsman and started the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens 60 years ago.
In 1964 he celebrated the 100th anniversary of his grandfather having started the nursery business. He did so by planting the Centenary Border.
In the early part of the 21st century, the Centenary Border was becoming overgrown and the background shrubs and trees had become too large.
In a project that has been five years in planning and taken two years to complete with the help of more than 150 volunteers, the Border has been enriched with even more plant diversity.
There are now 800 different types of plants in the Border, adding to the 42,000 plants in the Gardens creating an encyclopaedic display of glorious colours, smells and textures.
During her visit, the Duchess will be invited to plant a Sorbus Lemon Drop tree into the Border and an identical tree will also be presented to Her Royal Highness as a gift. The tree was chosen to symbolise the 60th anniversary of the Gardens this year as it was a cultivar of a tree selected at the Hillier Nursery around 60 years ago.
Councillor Roy Perry said: "It is a real honour that Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall will join us to celebrate such a milestone in the history of the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens. The Gardens have enjoyed Royal patronage since they were opened to the public in the late 1970s and long may that special relationship continue. The Gardens are so beautiful at this time of year and offer something for everyone, families and garden enthusiasts alike. The refurbishment and expansion of the Centenary Border is testament to the dedication and attention to detail of all those involved and will be a wonderful addition for all who come to enjoy these spectacular Gardens."

No one in particular wrote:Something I just noticed… Marie didn't say the magic phrase when she specified that Haffaton would destroy Faq.
There was no "I Predict it!"
Maybe unless a Predictamancer actually declares that something is a capital-P Prediction, there's no guarantee of accuracy?
There's no guarantee of accuracy in anything they predict. All they see is point D somewhere in the future, not the path needed to get there from point A (the present). Between points A and D are the easy way, the hard way, and the very hard way. If the predictamancers give out too much information, others may sway their fate into the very hard way while trying to deny point D is inevitable. Take the fate of Faq. Marie could have seen with perfect clarity that Wanda was going to be welcomed into Faq (point B), would receive a prediction about her fate and the tools (point C), and that leads her to contact Stanley to try to get the Hammer, which brings about point D. "Haffaton will be the agent of Faq's destruction" sounds a lot better than "We are going to welcome in a caster soon and make her a part of our side, and share with her most of our city's secrets for she will be as one of us. Soon after, she will betray us, and bring in a nonroyal warlord of great power who will totally obliterate us. Then that same caster will re-animate the king into a mockery of his former self, seduce the princess, and defect to the side of the non-royal warlord, taking the Fool with her." Second version is gonna get Jack ostracized, and there's no way this uppity group of philosophers is going to welcome Wanda into the city. Stating that it will be Haffaton, the self-preservation instincts they have, coupled with the fact that they now know that Wanda is a major source of Haffaton's power, they will readily welcome Wanda into itheir city, thinking they have crippled the giant that is their impending doom. That's gonna get Faq closer to point B.
Basically, Predictamancer have to be vague or just outright lie sometimes in order for the future to unfold as they've seen it. Giving the details brings about the Very Hard Way.

Central Florida Lawmaker Proposes Bills to Help Homeowners Fight Foreclosure
March 13, 2013 | WMFE - Florida consistently tops the list of states with the most home foreclosures. Now a state senator from central Florida is working on a package of measures to protect homeowners threatened with foreclosure.
On many recent surveys, Florida ranks number one in the nation for home foreclosures. State Senator Darren Soto, a Democrat from Orlando, told a press conference Tuesday that the number of foreclosures is "absolutely shameful."
Soto says changes the state's foreclosure laws are necessary to protect homeowners from fraudulent practices by banks.
Soto is introducing a package of bills in the Senate that would impose stricter penalties on banks that use fraudulent documents and would speed up the foreclosure process to help clear the backlogged court system.
But Soto says what's really needed help for people who are facing the loss of their homes through foreclosure.
"That's the vision that's going to, not only keep families in their house, but prevent a generation of families going into bankruptcy." Soto said.
Soto wants the Legislature to direct $100 million dollars in federal funds toward programs to help homeowners reduce the amount of principal owed on their mortgages.
Fellow Democrats on the House side of the Capital, including Representatives Joe Saunders of Orlando and Jose Javier Rodriguez of Miami are working on companion bills in the state House.

Hayward automates virtually everything, for a better backyard experience and more time to enjoy it.
Hayward offers a line of the industry's best automation to suit any backyard environment. Adding automation takes the work out of pool and spa ownership by automating all work-intensive functions, such as sanitization, balancing pH, cleaning and filtration. For even more control, pool owners can customize their system to manage other backyard features, landscape and pool lighting, water features and more. Take control as far as it can go - right into the water with Aqua Pod wireless, waterproof remote. Perhaps best of all, automation can save pool owners money by automating essential pool and spa functions - as much as 75% on their pool's energy costs.

All booked up with no place to go. Big load off my mind. Nap time.
Does that mean you are or are not attending?
You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!
I'm there.
Wow, only two months to go.
Gettin' psyched now...
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
If anyone else is going from NC and wants to carpool let me know. I plan on leaving Thursday afternoon.
I don't know. The bear shed all over the car last time I took him out motoring.
I'm going to be driving down on Friday morning and driving back Friday afternoon/evening. I will have the entire day and not limited to how late anyone wants to stay. Dunno about Saturday yet.
If anyone from the area wants to ride along I have room for one more and lotsa junk or 3 more and a decent amount of junk. Depends on how much ass I gotta haul with me.
You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!
I seem to recall lists of prospective attendees being posted in PF threads past to give everyone an idea of who's going to be there... you know, so you can decide whether or not you'll attend based on how many peope you hate will be there? lol
But seriously, maybe it will spur the fence-sitters to make the trip once they see that 50+ Polkies will be there.
OK, I'll start-

That's it, I'm not going if Harry's going to be there.

Everthing Matters...Tubes Rule...and It's Over until it's Not Over
This will be an excellent event.....if I must say so. Anyone not trying to get to the 40th celebration will be seriously missing out. This is the last call folks....and I'd not expect any HQ open doors from here on out.
George - Call me, I have to speak with you about a couple things old man.
So Friday is open for all of us and Saturday is private right?
Really wish I could take part in this.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. I am in!
Have fun folks.

In the beginning, all knowledge was new!
NORTH of 60°
You're all making me jealous! Here I am sitting in my "rehab" boot with a mending torn Achilles. Had originally planned to come down depending on work schedule. But now it's a week by week wait. Next official visit to the surgeon is August 8th. I'm trying to get the OK to be cleared for a drive of that distance! So fingers crossed. Of course, because of all of this, I haven't made any plans. Are there still hotel rooms that can be booked a bit more "last minute"?
Will know in another week or so. I also have to get the old Impala through its inspection. No easy task as it continues to "rust" out!
But 40 years is "something" I'd hate to miss. For those of you that have seen the new Batman film, I'm kind of like the gimpy Bruce Wayne with the cane at the beginning of the film at the moment. lol

oh wow... sounds like this will be fun.. but alas.. because my car decided it was time for a timing belt, to the tune of $1,256.. it pretty much ate up all the dinero I had saved for PF12.. that plus airline ticket prices are way overblown right now. if prices drop in the next few weeks.. i'll reconsider making the trip. I do envy you guys who are within driving distance.. flying from West coast to E. Coast changes a lot of things.
someone take lots of pics for me and those of us not able to attend.
peace out my brothers and sisters.....

text: My apologies but I am obsessing with the power to my RTiA9's. I have an Emotiva XPA-5 running my A9's, Csi A6 and the Fxi A6's. 200 WPC seemed like a solid number when I purchased the A9's knowing they are power hungry, however I have done a lot of research and it seems as though they may be a little underpowered... I am in no way dissatisfied with the way they sound, but I only have two ears. Those of you that have experienced the same thing please chime in.

Our economy has changed. Look around, you can see the change, and you can feel its effects. What you might not know is why it has changed and what you can do to thrive in this shifting world.
In fact, now could be the time for you to fly high and be brilliant. That's what Seth Godin says in his new book, The Icarus Deception. Godin – author of 14 bestsellers, including Purple Cow and Linchpin, and one of the world's most popular business bloggers (www.sethgodin.com) – sees opportunity for each of us to create and excel in today's economy.
I believe Godin's message is powerful, inspiring and challenging. Thanks to Maria's Bookshop, I was able to distribute 23 signed copies of The Icarus Deception and keep one for myself to share my insights with you.
The book's title is a play on the Greek myth of Icarus. In this story, Icarus and his father, Daedalus, build wings to escape imprisonment by King Minos. Icarus ignores the warnings of his father not to fly too high. The sun melts the wax holding his wings together, and Icarus falls to his death. The moral: Don't try to fly too high, don't act like one of the gods. If you do, you will be punished.
In the industrial economy, we fully accepted this lesson. We set our flight paths low: Get a degree, be on time, follow the rules, give up your dreams to collect a paycheck and retire some day.
What's the consequence of living according to these low expectations and small dreams? We are robbing the world – and ourselves – of our brilliance. Neil Young was right when he said: "Holding back is close to stealing."
The rules have changed. The industrial economy is in decline and what Godin calls the connection economy – in which we can all shine – is rising. The connection economy demands we create art. Not art we hang on the wall, but art defined as something done for the first time, something that creates connection and touches other people.
Godin says the assets of the connection economy are free and available to all of us:
Stories that spread.
Humanity – connection, compassion and humility.
When developed and combined, these assets can be the catalysts for art. Entrepreneurs are artists. Business owners are artists. Freelancers are artists. They all can connect people through ideas, stories and dreams.
Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. You can't suddenly quit your job and start making art in the connection economy with the expectation of earning enough money to pay your next round of bills. Art takes time, art takes risks and art takes practice – it's the gift you have to give the world whether anyone will buy it or not.
So start making your art and see where it leads. Don't be deceived by the Icarus myth. Dare to fly high and be brilliant.
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it's stupid." – Albert Einstein

Point Guard Marquis Teague went to your very own Chicago Bulls. Although they lost all of their talent, Calipari brings in one of the best recruiting classes in the country to fill their shoes. He rakes in three 5-star recruits and the best of the best at their positions. Nerlens Noel is the #2 player in the nation out of high school and is headed to Lexington next year. He is an absolute beast, a 6'10 center with freak athletic ability. Alex Poythress is a 6'8 forward who ranked #8 in the nation. Poythress can shoot the ball and is mature beyond his years in the game of basketball. Archie Goodwin is the #14 player in the nation coming in this season. He is a 6'4 guard with great ball-handling skills and the size to make it to the next level. Calipari is excited about Goodwin as he calls him one of the toughest players in the nation out of Little Rock, Arkansas. Calipari is sure that the Wildcats will make it back to the NCAA Tournament as they have made it every year for the past 20 years with the exception of their NIT birth in 2009. The Wildcats play their home games at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, one of the toughest places to play in the nation. The Big Blue Nation are some of the most faithful fans in the world, and the students in the Eruption Zone rock the Arena at every home game. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for your entire 2012-2013 college basketball season needs!

I have no clue, but have to admit am excited to see whom he will eventually pick! The pair girl out there must feel like Cinderella when Prince Charming placed the glass slipper on her foot.
Btw, just a nitpick, Nancy Kerrigan just had a humongous bruise to overcome, no broken bones nor surgery nor hip injury, etc. Still, a great recovery in a matter of weeks, but I personally wouldn't put it on the same plane as a torn achilles, dislocated hip, torn hip labrium, broken leg, you get the picture. Now Elena Berezhnyia's injury & comeback was something else, brain injury and all that it entailed, including learning to speak and walk again. I'd say that trumps everybody else. Jmho.
This. I can't say why Rockne's partnerships seem to go wrong, but rather than this (see below)
If it were me, I'd feel as edgy as the last Bride of Bluebeard.
Bluebeard is a wealthy aristocrat, feared and shunned because of his ugly, blue beard. He has been married several times, but no one knows what became of his wives. He is therefore avoided by the local girls. When Bluebeard visits one of his neighbours and asks to marry one of her two daughters, the girls are terrified, and each tries to pass him on to the other. Eventually he talks the younger daughter into visiting him, and after hosting a wonderful banquet, he persuades her to marry him. After the ceremony she goes to live with him in his château.
Well, I think Rockne is neither a Prince Charming nor Bluebeard.
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
But truthfully what's the basis or proof for such an insinuation and besmirchment?
In any case, who said he's "the perfect partner." I've only seen and heard that he's a talented pairs skater who has unfortunately had to endure a couple of high profile break-ups, exact details unknown.
^^ I'm only asking what basis or proof you have for speculating/ insinuating as such. Partnerships end for any variety of reasons, including personality conflicts, growing pains, etc. And once again, who said that Rockne is "the perfect partner"?
I hope Rockne can find one more partner and have a last shot at continuing his skating career. I think he has a couple more years left in him.
Are there any official guidelines for awarding byes to Worlds? I'm torn between thinking it'd be in their best interest to set some official guidelines, while thinking it might make more sense to evaluate case-by-case.
Selfishly, I hope it's denied, as - assuming C/S become National Champions - I find nearly all of the potential silver medalists far more attractive than D/C. I am assuming any petition would likely be granted, however, given their GP results.
I really hope D/S get their act together and rock Nationals. Last year's Championships seemed like the perfect start of a successful partnership- great, charismatic program with plenty of room for improvement. While they surely have time to "click," I don't want to wait to see them on the World stage. They're the perfect antidote to the far less graceful teams we've turned out in recent years.
So anyone know whether Rockne will be at US Nationals this week?
I've thought about the byes-to-Worlds/Olympics, trying to come up with a full list in the post-figures era and categorizing the byes into acute/medium-term/chronic injuries, as well as thinking about the relationship between the nature of the injury and the outcome of the bye: did it turn out to be a good decision to name the skater to the World or Olympic Team? In the 22 seasons since 1990-1991, there have been five byes granted to the World/Olympic team (to the best of my recollection: if I missed one, please correct me!).
Three things jumped out at me: All five skaters/teams granted byes were previous World Medalists; three were previous Olympic medalists. Of the five byes, four involved the Olympic team. Of the two byes granted for acute injury (both occurred at Nationals), both were "justified" by the results: an Olympic Silver medal and a World Silver medal. The one bye given for medium-term injury was also "justified": World Silver medal. The two byes given for chronic injuries did not turn out well: Kwan was too injured to train fully and withdrew from the Olympics; Eldredge was also too injured to train fully and barely made it through the Olympics; I read an interview a few years ago in which he said he had trouble walking/standing while he was there and probably shouldn't have competed.
Injury type: Skater (Year; Result of Bye; competitive record prior to bye: for Pairs/Dance, competitive record only with then-current partner)
Acute injury: Nancy Kerrigan (1994: Olympics 2nd; 4-time Senior National medalist, reigning National Champion; 3-time World Team member, 2-time World Medalist; Olympic Bronze medal), Jenni Meno and Todd Sand (1998: Worlds 2nd, Olympics 8th; 5-time Senior National medalist; 5-time World Team member, 2-time World Medalist; 1-time Olympic Team member)
Medium-term injury: Tanith Belbin/Ben Agosto (2009: Worlds 2nd; 8-time Senior National medalist; 7-time World Team member, 3-time World medalist, reigning World Bronze medal; Olympic Silver medal)
Chronic injury: Michelle Kwan (2006: Olympics WD; 12-time Senior National medalist; 12-time World Team member, 9-time World medalist; 2-time Olympic medalist), Todd Eldredge (1992: Worlds 7th, Olympics 10th; 2-time National Champion; 2-time World team member, reigning World Bronze medalist)
Publicly turned down:
Acute injury: Nicole Bobek (1996; 2-time Senior National medalist, reigning National Champion; 2-time World Team member, did not advance from qualifying round at first Worlds, reigning World Bronze medalist). Bobek had a long history of inconsistent training and coach-hopping. In late 1994, she injured her ankle but chose to continuing touring instead of taking time off to heal the ankle. IIRC, many people felt that International Committee was trying to send her a message by turning down her bye request.
There have been a few cases I can recall where a skater/team was nearly guaranteed a place on the Junior World team but had to withdraw from Nationals in situations where they would have been able to be prepared for Junior Worlds. There seems to be sort of an unofficial guideline that only skaters/teams who compete at Nationals may be named as World Junior team members, but occasionally a skater/team in this situation is named as an alternate to Junior Worlds. I can also think of a few cases in which a skater/team who had previously competed at Worlds was injured or ill and chose to compete because they thought the standard to receive a bye to Worlds/Olympics made it unlikely that they would be named to the team.
FWIW, I would not be surprised if Denney/Coughlin's application is considered in light whether the pairs' event at Nationals is or .
As always, any thoughts or speculation is solely my own; I just drive the zamboni.
Thanks, 5Ali3. I agree with your assertion about a possible bye for Denney and Coughlin may depend on how well our teams skate at Nationals. It's not as if D/C were lights out at worlds last year. If any of our other pairs medalists skate to the best of their ability they could probably equal the result that D/C had at Worlds 2012
(Speaking of Rockne Brubaker)I feel bad for him because he is one of the best male pairs skaters in the U.S.
I agree. I was rewatching 2012 4CC recently. Since I knew that his partnership had broken up subsequent to the competition, and that his partner was not continuing in skating, I concentrated on watching him. (That's not something I generally do when watching a pairs team, since the focus is usually on the female partner.) He's very, very good, and also very watchable. I don't mean any insuations by that, simply that his skating is pure, he has good line (surprising given his build), his skating technique is very good, and everything is finished well.
For all I know his personality may not be as wonderful as his skating (I have no idea) but from my own selfish point of view I would love to see him skating again. He's a joy to watch when he is on.
interesting bit of info., thanks for providing it reese.
now i'm wondering if he's there *scouting* for a future pair girl.... and if so, whom shall it be? who has he been watching during practice? during competition? and who is available? or will be so?
lots of ????
