Charge Cooker Hi 29er Mountain Bike - 2013Go Brit or go home, the 2013 Charge Cooker Hi is all about classic style and grace with modern flash. The Cooker Hi features a superb chromoly frame, A SRAM X7 drivetrain and Rock Shox suspension to deliver you around the mountain with speed and finesse.
The Cooker Hi features a flawless Tange Infinity chromoly frame and tapered headtube. Tange steel is custom drawn and has a titanium-like feel: lively, comfortable and forgiving thanks to its road vibration dampening properties. Infinity is formed using Tange's 90 years of experience in manufacturing steel tubes. It has a high level of strength, responsiveness and stiffness. The custom Cooker frame geometry places you in a comfortable riding position with an improved overall field of vision. We all know that once the obstacle is under you, it's too late to do anything about it. Better sight, a faster and safer ride.
The Rock Shox Recon Silver TK 29er fork features Motion Control, Power Bulge and Solo Air technology with 100mm in travel. Solo Air lets you add air to your forks through a single Schrader valve, filling both the positive and negative air spring chambers simultaneously. It gives you a plush, predictable ride you can set up in seconds. 100mm is more than enough for most singletrack and fire road adventures.
SRAM X7 with X-Glide and Exact Actuation shifting boosts your confidence in all types of terrain, from local trails to the most challenging backcountry singletrack terrain. Exact Actuation helps to simplify and stabilize the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing and exact cable tension. The result is an easy index shifting system to set up and maintain. A 2x10 SRAM S1400 39/26 and 11/36 cassette make short work of hills and descents without grinding to a halt due to a lack of efficient gear selection.
Avid Elixir 5 hydraulic brakes with Power Reserve Technology are matched to 160mm rotors. At the end of the day, a brake lever simply multiplies the force your hand generates; just like a nut cracker. Avid's Power Reserve Geometry represents a way of thinking about the physics of leverage and your hand's comfort. This philosophy is fundamentally different than other braking systems. Due to pivot placement, physics dictates that with other brake levers your fingers tend to slip off the ends as you pull. Avid is different. They designed levers with the pivot closer to the handlebar. The resulting lever movement has less inward travel, an arc that's closer to your fingers' natural motion and delivers more force to the brake.
WTB Frequency rims are tubeless compatible and are laced to SRAM MTH-506 hubs. The WTB Frequency TCS i19 UST compliant rim bead shapes are designed to help keep tires on rims better, while a tape and sealant system shaves away critical weight. Before every ride or in the event that you flat, WTB's On-Ramp technology provides a consistent fit between the rim and tire for easy installation and inflation. The WTB Prowler SL tires have DNA rubber and add classic style with the Skinwall finish. Components by Crank Brothers and Charge round out a terrific cross country 29er.
- Tange Infinity steel frame with seamless, double butted construction and a tapered headtube
- RockShox Recon Silver TK fork with 100mm of cross country travel
- SRAM X5/X7 drivetrain and S1400 2x10 crankset are the perfect match for climbs and descents alike

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of barrels taken by Nicolas Tari. A total of 46 barrels produced. This sample taken before any racking has taken place although there will probably be one in May (instead since the 2004 vintage, the wine rests upon its lees with batonnage dependent upon each barrel.) A more Semillon based..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is initially very muted on the nose, but it unfurls seductively with subtle, perfumed aromas of lime leaf, white peach, fresh apricot and touches of white flowers: very pretty and well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced, so pure and succinct with wonderful precision towards the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Chateau Coutet 2007 has a very intense bouquet with lemon curd and orange blossom mixed with clear honey. There is impressive precision here, almost crystalline. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine viscous entry, great weight and intensity with racy acidity. There is also much tension..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Incredible nose combines orange zest, pear, and stony, flinty minerality. Enters the mouth with firmness and then expands dramatically toward the back, displaying an extraordinary airiness of texture allied to outstanding energy and grip. The lemon curd and stone flavors build inexorably on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This closed, reticent wine promises to pack a rich, generous punch in the future. Its potential shows in the botrytis flavor and the touches of smoky wood and apricot jelly. With this leashed power, it promises to be a very fine wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the outstanding successes of the 2009 vintage, this may surpass the superlative 2007. It has a more understated nose at the moment, but is very well defined with honey, white peach, orange peel and crushed stones. The palate has a viscous entry, is very well balanced, very powerful with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Shows dried pineapple, honey, pear, caramel and piecrust aromas. Full-bodied and very sweet, with spice, coconut, tropical fruit and apple tart flavors. Long and dense, yet lively. Best after 2013."

Forget all the controversy surrounding Dante's new-look. DmC is one of the most compelling action games you'll play this generation.
We like
- Superb visuals
- Intuitive and satisfying combat system
- Great boss battles and varied bestiary
We dislike
- Linear level design
- Some long load times and brief stuttering during cut-scenes

BTW: Does anybody know why Ivan Bariev was not at Russian Nats?

Interview with Alena Leonova: http://www.team-russia2014.ru/article/7672.html (in Russian).
She talks about her failure at Russian Nationals, doesn't give concrete reasons what happened other than that maybe pressure got to her. She claims her practices leading up to Nationals went well. She said she won't give up and wants to fight for a spot at Worlds.
The Russian minister of sports, V. Mutko, told the press that within the next couple of days a final decision will be made if M. Kovtun or K. Menshov will go to Europeans.
Article: http://www.sports.ru/others/figure-s...145944618.html
However, it doesn't really sound like a change can be expected. Mutko states that there was no violation of rules (in naming Kovtun to the team) as the coaches' council can recommend the third skater. Mutko said that the decision wasn't taken really publicly and therefore they (his ministery) asked the Federation to discuss the selection again.
Thank you Eislauffan. I know for myself, I didn't expect them to change their minds. They are playing within their own rules, even if I personally don't think it's fair. I am sure others feel the same.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.~W. C. Fields
This is absurd. They saw promise in someone and are willing to bet on him. They are doing it within their rules of selection. Why the outrage?
Was there such outrage when 4th placed Slutskaya was selected over 3rd placed Sokolova for 1998 Europeans and over 2nd placed Soldatova for 1998 Olympics?
I hope there is no change, simply because doing so would undermine the Russian Fed doing what's within its power to do.
This also sucks for the athletes since now they do not know what to prepare for and how to practice now because they would want to achieve the peak of their shape by Euros and/or Junior Worlds respectively.

In Detail
Joomla! is the world's hottest open-source content management system. Out of the box, Joomla! does a great job of managing the content needed to make your website sing. Many Joomla! developers face common implementation hurdles, some might want to rapidly extend the Joomla! core functionality or might want to create new and exciting extensions.
This book has a "wealth" of solutions for problems that Joomla! developers face regularly. It provides step-by-step mini examples which show how to overcome common design and implementation problems when creating Joomla! extensions. It will help you setup a sustainable collaborative development environment using the powerful free services offered by JoomlaCode.org.
This book can be used in different ways. It can be used by the pro Joomla! developer looking for a specific solution to a problem and can also be used by a novice developer looking for an insight into an area of common problems, such as effectively handling errors in Joomla! Readers who choose to read an entire chapter will first be given a brief overview of the topic in hand and its role and importance when developing for Joomla! The Recipes contained within the chapter will introduce the reader to specific problems and provide hands-on solutions. It provides solutions for core design topics including security, data access, users, sessions, and multilingual capabilities.
This practical book, packed with plenty of code samples, and tips and tricks, will help you to quickly implement solutions for common Joomla! 1.5 programming design problems.
This book contains recipes which define common problems and provide suggested solutions. This is not a book to read from cover-to-cover, it is hands-on solutions book that takes a practical approach to recipes - providing code samples that can easily be extracted and modified to suit the needs of the reader. Each recipe is presented as a separate entity and prior reading of other recipes is not required. Chapters provide categorization of recipes and give an introduction to the subject area with reference to the recipes contained within.
Who this book is for
This book is for PHP developers who have experience of developing for Joomla! It does not introduce developing extensions for Joomla!, it is assumed that the reader has prior knowledge of the subject and is looking for a quick guide to solve common problems quickly which commonly occur when developing for Joomla! It does not matter if you are an accomplished Joomla! developer or just starting out. For each scenario that this book addresses, there is an introductory explanation of the problem and an easy to implement solution. For the more accomplished developers recipes also include a discussion of the solution explaining how it works and how it can be further enhanced or customized.

Lighting accessories are always a great mod, I can't get enough of LEDs and bright lights. Only planned mod I have is to get the front and rear bumpers a wrapped and need to get some strobes for the rear. Still have the topper on
What's your latest mod?
On Friday I saw a Chevy 2500 with light covers on it. I don't see them around much cause they're illegal where I live, but it reminded me of your truck.
Thanks for the friend invite!
My brother has one. But he doesn't let me go near it because it's very valuable to him. So, I decided to do my Dodge Caravan instead.
...continued...But I'm going to have to check out Fusion Designs Lighting. There is a truck here where I live that is completely done in Fusion Desins Lighting LEDs. He even has the name and logo on his truck and it looks really good. BTW, how much were your IPCW tails? they look nice and I'm still debating whether I want to tint them myself or buy tails.
And as for the wheels, I and leaning more toward the Ballistic Havocs as of now. I am open to anything machined black and I'm still on the lookout but I will probably go with the Havocs since a fellow GMTC member is selling his to me for only $500 (20x9 w/ -12 offset). Which I'll probably have by the end of July but I'm going to have to wait until I get new(bigger) tires to put them on since my tires only have 17" on them :/ lol. AND THEN, I will need to get a lift or level kit to fit the tires I want HAHA.
It probably won't be until the end of the year when I get it all done.
Yea, I don't want to dull down my HID brightness. I want to get brighter! lol But at one point I was looking at projectors and I seen the Recons but were way to pricey for me and I didn't like the side-by-side headlight look. It looks like car headlights to me. I was leaning more towards the Anzo USA's. they are top and bottom like OEM and are the brightest on the market (that I heard). Check out @rotaryenginepete 's album from my friends list. He has the Anzo's and they look fantastic on his truck. But I think I'm just going to go with a complete LED conversion for my headlights and tails. There are these dual-colored DRL lights that light up diamond white(instead of amber) and turn amber for the blinker. They look badass...continued...
Hey man, really diggin' the truck. Excellent job with it!
I love your headlight covers and was wondering how do they effect the brightness?? I have HIDS in mine as was wondering if they would still be bright if I put a cover on.
Do you have any night time pics?
The GM Rep here gave me the same dealers I had tried to work with previously. I tried again and did not get very far with any of them. It seems to be a sellers market or so the dealers think. If you are interested in a new vehicle take a look at www.carbuyingtips.com. Takw your timne and read it all it has some amazing info to help you. I found the local dealers have a $492 advertising fee hidden in their price. When I pointed this out and asked that it be removed along with the dealer prep and documentation fees they were less than cooperative. Hope this helps, drop me a line if you have any other questions.

The crisis has demonstrated the urgent need for governments to be more open, accountable and transparent regarding their financial stability. As a matter of urgency, member states should be seeking to publish financial reports which are accruals based, reliable, consistent and timely.
ACCA supports the view that the long-term financial sustainability of public finances, based on the right long-term growth model, will play a critical role both economic recovery and preventing future crises. This improved economic governance goal should therefore be tackled more effectively.
A concrete way of achieving this could be to require member states to produce government financial statements that consistently comply with international accounting standards, such as IPSASs, and which would complement current national accounts in setting out their economic and fiscal positions based on statistical measures and forecasts.
Gillian Fawcett, head of public sector at ACCA, says: 'The continuing sovereign debt crisis further fuels the need for harmonizing accounting standards for member states.'
Gillian Fawcett explains: 'The current diversity in financial reporting practice in the public sector is unhelpful. It is thus critical that all member states are capable of publishing a balance-sheet based on a consistent set of accounting standards to re-establish public trust, which has been seriously damaged. In that spirit, we strongly welcome the European Commission's report on implementing across the EU a harmonised set of accounting standards using current international public sector accounting standards as a reference point. Accruals accounting is essential for promoting transparency, accountability and openness, as well as providing complementary information to existing statistically based national accounts.'
Gillian Fawcett stresses: 'ACCA is disappointed at the low response rate from key bodies to DG EUROSTAT's initial consultation aiming to assess the suitability of the IPSAS for EU Member States. We however fully endorse the newly published report's recommendation that further project and governance steps should be undertaken before any final decision is made to progress the development of a potential harmonised European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS) framework .'
'As a global accountancy body, we also think that it is important that any future work is closely co-ordinated with IPSASB (the International Public Sector Accounting Board), so as not to re-invent the wheel in setting up structures that are already in place and well recognised. We look forward to contributing to the debate,' Gillian Fawcett concludes.

Nicki, though I'd like to take credit for those two wonderful quilts from a Mrs. Claus representing Virginia... it wasn't me!
Has to be someone else that did those. I love that duck!
I live in OH but chose VA because a sister lives there and we hope to relocate there one day and there OH had been taken.
I plan on working on my quilts after Thanksgiving.
HA!, that is too funny Malou. O.K., I'll wait until another time to see yours posted on her blog. I did notice that she didn't say the quilter was from the HGTV Quilting Board & she generally gives credit to our board. I just went back & took the smiley face off your name. This message has been edited. Last edited by: nlk,
Here is my 1st Dolly Quilt made all from my scrap bins..I won't mail this until I get another one done to go along with it,probably in January.

Oh May, that's a lovely little quilt. I like that you made it from your scrap bin. Your FM quilting is GREAT on it. Thanks so much for your help with this cause.
Thanks Nicki...I should have practiced on a scrap before I did that little quilt and I would have liked it better.
"In Michigan"
Hi Nik: now that Christmas is over, I will be starting other projects including the doll quilts I signed up for. I just wanted to know if you have anyone signed up for Rhode Island. If not, I will take that state as well so all of New England is covered.
Cute quilts sent in already!
I hope to gt to mine soon. They just take a little while since they are so small.
Working on a Quilt of Valor right now. TC May, I really like your BWB one.
Oh Catwmn27, that's sweet of you to take on another state. I've got you signed up for The Ocean State Rhode Island). Thank you soooo much. I need to get started on making a few more now that Christmas is over & my sewing projects are completed.
There are 7 states left that have not been spoken for. Don't forget that in 2013 we can have more than one sign up for a state. So if you see a state that's already got a name by it I will be MORE THAN HAPPY to put your name next to it also.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nlk,
Just bringing this forward for a refresher....
"In Michigan"
I was waiting for the Xmas rush of presents to be finished before mailing mine out for 2013.
I'll be mailing out mine next week after we dig ourselves out of this latest snowstorm.
Thanks for the addy NLK.This message has been edited. Last edited by: quiltbea,
I finished mine today. Will mail next week.
Thanks ladies for your help with the quilts.
Don't forget to let Debbie know that you are from this HGTV Board & what state you are representing.
Bumping this up...
I was working on my doll quilt today and was glad to see this thread on page 1 again! Thanks WQFC!
It should be finished soon and will take a picture then mail.
City/Sandie was soooo enthusiastic about this last year, I thought I'd join in this time around. Since all my favorite states are taken, how 'bout I take Utah, it's only a stone's throw away from where I live anyway.
Kin I make one for Alaska, also? The state of my heart.This message has been edited. Last edited by: paus4quilts,
Don't see a spot for District of Columbia on the list; are we leaving them out? Puerto Rico isn't there either. That'd be a good one for City/Sandie and her bright, bright colors.This message has been edited. Last edited by: paus4quilts,
..... OK ... give me Puerto Rico ....
and if I failed to sign up - sign me up too
I guess I just think I'm a permanent fixture ...
I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me.
Wounded Warrior Project
Hmm..new to the site and the states I could claim allegiance to are CA, OR, and OK but you have folks there. Didn't check for Hawaii or Ohio. I would love to do a child's quilt as I have a great stash of fabric.
Sue Stitches...There is no limit on how many people make quilts for each state...the Goal is to have all states represented. The more the merrier for the kids. So pick a couple states and start your stitching, we'd love to have you.
"In Michigan"
... Sue it doesn't matter from whence ye hail .. it's all for the kids, lettingthen know someone somewhere made it Just For them ... it's addictive ... get your needle and rotary blade changed.
I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me.
Wounded Warrior Project
Very new to the site but every day I find new ways to participate with all of you in fun or thoughtful ways. This sounds like a great project for a great cause. I'd like to participate if it is not too late. I could represent Missouri, Arizona , Alaska or all 3 (grew up in Mo, currently live in AZ will retire to AK). Will send PM with my info

-Edgar Allan Poe-
WQFC, thanks so much for bumping this up to the top. I was going to do it last week-end & things got in the way.
I've updated the list on page 1 & added the most recent volunteers.
City/Sandie....yes, of course you signed up early & was going to wait until later to pick a state but now I have you down for Puerto Rico.
Paus...I've got you down for Utah & Alaska & thanks!
KaylaQuilts....You have been assigned Missouri, Alaska & Arizona. Be careful..just mentioning a state will get you on the list...hehehe! Thanks so much for joining us on this. You can go to the link I posted on my initial post on page 1 and see what this project is all about.
SueStitches...welcome & thanks for the offer to make a quilt. Do you want to pick a state or would you like for me to assign one to you? You can pick a state that has already been selected. My thought behind the states was that our board would contribute at least 50 quilts for the project...in 2012 this board provided 126 little doll quilts.This message has been edited.

It was fun making that one. I have a couple other puppy pieces and hope to at least make one more. I'll be mailing to Debbie soon, Nicki.
Sue Stitches, I've signed you up for California & thanks again.
Malou, that little quilt is just darling. It just makes me smile every time I look at it. It sure will make a little girl happy. Thanks you so much for it.
jacky, I've got you signed up for Hawaii & thanks!
I see SD hasn't been spoken for. I've been there a few times and loved it. I'll take SD in addition to NY I've already signed up for. Could someone forward the mailing address to me? Thanks, Janet
OMG...well...ya know what...a certain silly redhead needs to finish unpacking a couple of suitcases containing fabric from her recent trip back to KY, because I have 2 doll quilts in there, I am surely a nut and was way to busy while I was on holiday, brought them to mail to save money on postage only to bring them back again...now if that don't take the cake! Will send them when I find them Nicki...sometimes I need a sticky note stuck to my forehead so that everytime I look in the mirror I am reminded of what I need to do!
" Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. "
This is such a fun, wonderful project to do. I also learned new stitches and how to (finally) get good miters! Such a great bonus to bringing joy to little faces.
"It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips."
longjohn, The Mount Rushmore State is yours. I'll send you a pm with Debbie's address.
KS, that is too funny about you bringing those doll quilts all the way over here only to take them back again. Sounds like something I would have done.
KS, I laughed because I did a similar thing... carried something with me to give to my sister in VA to save postage... then brought it home with me!
It's so much fun seeing all the doll quilts and Nancy, you're right... I have learned something working on these small pieces.
Here are pictures of the doll quilts Sister Sue and I made. We had lots of fun working on them and they aren't hard to do. We'll get them in the mail by next week. Pat
Here is the Winnie the Pooh quilt. We put labels on the back "from Wisconsin" Both the quilts are flannel.
...so cute, patty j you and Sue do some really nice things ...
I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me.
Wounded Warrior Project
Ah, those two quilts are so cute. You can't beat butterflies & Winnie the Pooh to make a child happy. Thanks so much for making these. I sent you Debbie's address via a pm. Thanks!!!
Nicki and Sandy- Thanks for the compliments. We both enjoyed making them. Sue
Those are really cute.
I volunteered for this and have no idea which way to go. I like the idea of 'recycling' left over blocks from other quilts but I like making something 'fresh'. Always decisions to be made around here.
Cute quilts everybody! I will get a picture of mine and hope to get it mailed this weekend.
Welcome to the HGTV boards Kayla! See what happens when you mention more than one state? LOL!!!
Hey Pause, how about one from left overs & one fresh?

|Eldon Augustine, 57,
|Written by TRF Times
Holt - Eldon Augustine, 57, of Holt, died suddenly on Saturday, July 28, 2012 at his home working on his dream with his son, Mark by his side.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2 at Zion Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls, with Rev. Sheila Michaels and Pastor Ollie Urdahl officiating. Interment will follow at the Holt Cemetery in Holt.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., with a 7 p.m. prayer service on Wednesday, Aug. 1, at Zion Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls. Visitation will also be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Thursday at the church.
Eldon James Augustine was born on July 23, 1955 in Thief River Falls, the son of Marlan and Doris (Larson) Augustine. He was baptized in 1955 and confirmed in 1970 at Nazareth Lutheran Church in Holt. Eldon attended school in Holt, and graduated from Newfolden High School in 1973.
Following high school, Eldon continued to work with his parents on the family farm. They had dairy cattle, beef cattle and farmed small grains. He eventually took over the operation.
On July 24, 1976, Eldon was united in marriage to Marla Nelson at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Thief River Falls. To this union, three children were born: Matthew, Mark and Holly. They made their home on the Augustine family farm in Excel Township, Marshall County. Together, they farmed with brother-in-law Jay until 1998, at which time Eldon went to work for Dan Engen Construction. In 2007, he went to work for Hawkes Company in East Grand Forks, where he worked until the time of his death.
He was a "jack of all trades" and was always willing to help his neighbors and friends. He didn't have an enemy in the world. Eldon was very knowledgeable in everything he did and was a very hard working man. He could diagnose his daughter Holly's problems from hundreds of miles away and enjoyed traveling to the cities to help his son, Matt, with house projects. Eldon was very proud of his children and grandchildren and all they had accomplished.
Eldon enjoyed hunting, muzzle loading, flying, fishing (hard water), curling, spending time outdoors, and especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was very active in the Newfolden Agassiz Rod & Gun Club and was a member of the Eagle's Club in Thief River Falls. Eldon served on the Newfolden School Board from 1985 until 2000. In 1991, he was elected chairman of the board and served as chairman until 2000.
Survivors include his loving wife of 36 years, Marla of Holt; children, Matthew (Trisha Hartung) Augustine of Apple Valley, Mark (Miki) Augustine of Newfolden, and Dr. Holly Augustine of Scottsdale, Ariz.; grandchildren, Kaydence and Kelby Augustine; sister, Barbara (Ronald) Moe of Dalton, and brother Daryl (Paulette) Augustine of Higginsville, Mo.; father-in-law, Donald (Julie) Nelson of Williams; brothers-in-law, Donavan Nelson, Darwin (Sue) Nelson, Jay Nelson; sisters-in-law, Nancy (Dan) Engen, Jodi (Doug) Schultz; best friend, Joel Swan and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and mother-in-law, Mildred Nelson.

I was doing my predictions and was shocked that he was on the list. I'd forgotten about him. He is definitely a question mark in Nationals. He could be the spoiler or he could have a comeback a la Johnny. Who knows?
"If people are looking for guarantees, they should buy appliances at Sears and stay away from human relationships."~Prancer
Ha ha, I just wish Johnny were going to be doing the senior men commentating for Icenetwork again this year, with Evan competing on the ice.
Unfortunately, we have Michael Weiss, Tonia K, and Mike Mancuso to look forward to re commentating duties. Whatever excitement there is in the arena will unfortunately be blunted by the inevitable blah PC commentary. NBC commentators will definitely NOT be any great shakes either, as usual.
Johnny was not perfect, but he was witty, informative, entertaining, and generally unbiased except for his fondness for guys' eyebrows and colorful sequined outfits. He was also funny, and fearless (as a Honey Badger). Moreover, I think Johnny framed last year's event so beautifully and succinctly at the end of Jeremy Abbott's free skate. Jeremy even tweeted how much he appreciated Johnny's commentary.
I think it would be problematic for Johnny to commentate if he is still serious about competing next year. There will be a lot of talk about the Olympic outlook.
Johnny did a great job covering U.S. senior men's event last January when it was already known that he was planning a comeback and therefore would likely be competing in 2013 against the guys he was covering in the broadcast booth. It didn't take anything away from Johnny's wonderful insights and witty perspective.
But yeah, I wouldn't expect Johnny to be commentating at this year's Nationals since his plan was to be competing. It's just that now Johnny won't be competing, he did such a great job last year, it'd be fun to see him commentating with Evan competing.
Sure, it's still up in the air whether or not Johnny will be making another comeback next season to try and make the Olympic team. He seems to have the intention of doing so. The question is what will it take for him to be as fit as possible and to have the high level technique he will need to be competitive?
It seems to me that Johnny took off two years with not a lot of consistent training, and I think that makes it doubly hard to come back. For example, look at Ilia Kulik who is about 4 years older than Johnny. Ilia did not stop training hard (of course he was quite young when he retired from eligible competition) and even though Ilia is older than Johnny now, I think Ilia's jumps look stronger than Johnny's, i.e. at recent Japan SOI. That could be because Johnny is apparently skating with some nagging injuries (after trying to make a comeback). However, I think it is more that Ilia has toured and trained consistently since he stopped competing around age 20.
Relevant article excerpts from the Jan. 11th SC of Boston send-off show thread posted in GSD:
Relevant excerpt from the latest Inside Edge blog, published today on IN: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news[Harrison] Choate also skated a clean short. Miner started his free skate by landing a quad.
... [Stephen] Carriere plans to include a quad toe jump in both his short program and free skate, and he landed a quad in his Carmen short at the send-off, albeit with a slightly two-footed landing.
"Going into the U.S. championships, I'm trying to give the best performance-wise, get that [quad] toe in there, in the short and long."
Carriere said his goal at the beginning of the season was to do either two or three quads, "so I can say that I'm doing the same thing as the big boys are doing."
"We're working on his quad, which is getting consistent," his coach, Suna Murray, said. "And working on his head, which is in a good place. He's doing beautiful quads every day."
"If I can improve on both performance and placement from last year, I would be happy with that," Carriere said. "And if that means that I'm top five instead of top six, then that's great."
There's an incredible contingent of senior men at the World Arena in Colorado Springs right now. At the "Fire and Ice" event on Jan. 11, Max Aaron stole the night with a nearly clean short program, just putting down his hand on the quad Salchow-triple toe combination. He did a flawless triple Axel and a huge triple Lutz out of footwork.
Josh Farris skated a perfectly clean, gorgeous and expressive short program filled with interesting transitions, including a lunge into his triple flip and brackets right into the triple Axel.
Armin Mahbanoozadeh also did his short program, and, after landing a fabulous quad toe, had what can only be described as an unusual mistake on his triple Axel. He finished his program and got off the ice laughing, throwing his arms up in a puzzled and amused shrug.

Re-posting the Billy Bush interview with Evan L and Missy Franklin at Golden Globes, from the Evan update thread, Sylvia. Thanks!
Apparently, Evan is training hard and likely still planning to compete at Nationals, especially since he hasn't yet withdrawn.
BTW, re U.S. Men, does anyone know why Emanuel Savary did not compete at Sectionals? Is he injured? Also, is Philip Warren still being coached by Tammy Gambill? I didn't notice her with him at Sectionals (but maybe she was traveling with Ricky D at the time).

Oh no! I think Ilia got it right the first time, "I've got my Olympic gold medal. What's the point of continuing to compete eligibly?" Still, he continued to train and he looks good right now -- still obviously not in his former competitive shape. His jumps are still strong, but he's probably selective about which jumps he performs. I mentioned Ilia to point out Johnny has a lot of work ahead of him if he still intends to come back (especially since he did not continue to train hard during his two years off), but I'm sure Johnny already knows that.
^^ I think they meant to say he usually lands it, so to miss it was an unusual mistake from him.
Gambill was with Dornbush in Russia during Sectionals. She will coach 3 Senior men (Dornbush, Warren, Rabbitt) and 2 Junior men (Zhou, Omori) at Nationals, plus several Novice ladies.

^^ Quite true nylynnr, I thought of that too re Ilia. He has always had great technique and superb jumps. But Johnny was no slouch either with jumps at his best, albeit his loop was his weakest most disliked jump. However, I think the main thing is consistent training and no falling off re technique as the biggest factors in maintaining strength and ability on jumps, which for Johnny might be a factor.
Thanks Sylvia, I thought that might be the case re Tammy traveling with Ricky (already added ETA to my original post).
Wow, kudos and best of luck to Tammy and her crew.
Too bad about Savary's injuries. I wondered why they had him listed at Sectionals and called out his name when he wasn't going to be there. Is it because he never officially withdrew?

Seriously, how can one find the results of the regional and sectional competitions, i.e., actual placements. I know these competitions are lower level and not highly scrutinized or covered. On icenetwork, they barely even mentioned the scores, and didn't list placements at the end either. If senior men's regional and sectional results were posted in this thread, I missed it.
I was also wondering why Keegan Messing who has done well at Nationals and at senior B international events, did not receive a bye to Nationals. Did he not place high enough at Nationals last year?
^^ Thanks. I figured it should be available on IceNetwork, but it's often difficult to find links (even when they are on a webpage you are looking at ), and even harder sometimes to figure how to go about getting to the right webpage.
http://unseenskaters.wordpress.com/regionals/ (9 Regionals) and http://unseenskaters.wordpress.com/nationals/ (scroll down for the 3 Sectionals results links posted on the Nationals page).
Correct. Top 5 Seniors receive byes and Messing was 7th at 2012 Nationals.I was also wondering why Keegan Messing who has done well at Nationals and at senior B international events, did not receive a bye to Nationals. Did he not place high enough at Nationals last year?

^^ Thanks Sylvia. The men's field is sure loaded with talent, especially with a couple of very talented juniors moving up this year and the returning veteran seniors. There is such a depth of talent. It will be hard to make top ten even. Perhaps top 15 might look something like this, but not necessarily in this order.
Of course, Campbell, Hochstein, Johnson, Brewster, and Rabbitt are no slouches either. Indeed Johnson scored higher than Mroz at Sectionals so Johnson might make top 15 and Mroz might not. An exciting men's division, even without Evan and Johnny.

Detroit � Luckily for the Tigers, this is neither a sprint nor a marathon.
It�s not even a footrace � it�s an arms race, like it usually is in this game � and that is wonderful news for the season-ticket holders who started snapping up playoff tickets Thursday.
Backed by another stellar outing from Anibal Sanchez, and in spite of some awful baserunning, the Tigers made another statement Thursday night. They beat back the Kansas City Royals, 4-1, before a crowd of 37,872 at Comerica Park, offering their latest assertion about the fate of the Central Division race in the American League: It�s not over yet, but it might be soon.
The Tigers extended their division lead to 6� games over Cleveland and 8� over Kansas City, an upstart bunch that�s in town for a rare five-game series and in the playoff hunt in mid-August for the first time in seemingly forever.
But the Royals, who�d gone 19-5 after the All-Star break starting with a series against Detroit, have now lost three in a row � including a pair to the floundering Marlins � while scoring just three total runs the last three days.
And the Tigers, who�ve won 10 in a row at home to improve to 38-19 at Comerica Park this season, are hardly the cure for that.
Not with this starting rotation, anyway.
Mound leaders
Thursday night, it was Sanchez slamming the door, something he does so quietly and so calmly that few seem to notice he has been the Tigers� second-best starter this season.
He was sluggish early in this one, needing 30 pitches to escape the first inning with only a 1-0 deficit amid some control problems. Yet somehow Sanchez managed to pitch into the eighth, leaving to a standing ovation with a 4-1 lead, allowing seven hits and just that lone run in 71⁄3 innings. He struck out five, walked one and lowered his ERA to a tidy 2.50 � third-best in the AL.
�He settled in and pitched terrific,� said manager Jim Leyland, who was thrilled not to have to go to his bullpen early with a scheduled doubleheader today. �He really got it going, he was pinpoint, he was getting ahead of hitters. We needed some innings, and we got �em.�
They�ve got �em, all right. They�ve got a handful of them, and it�s why they�ve got a pretty strong grip on a postseason berth right now, in spite of their various ailments: A bum leg here, a concussion there, and not enough defensive replacements to fill in everywhere.
The Tigers� starters lead the AL with a 3.40 ERA � nearly a half-run better than the second-place Royals � and, in a more-telling statistic, with a league-low opponents� OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of .661. Or to put it another way, the Tigers� starting rotation turns the rest of the league into the Houston Astros.
They�re also tops in wins � Sanchez racked up No. 60 on Thursday night, 10 more than Tampa Bay � as well as innings pitched and strikeouts.
But that�s what we�ve come to expect from this team. And it�s what they�ve come to rely on themselves, covering for some shaky middle relief and an offense that chugs along from station to station.
�That�s our job,� Sanchez said, �to go out there and give us a chance to win every night.�
Basepath gaffes
Thursday night, it took a little fine-tuning on the fly from Sanchez. But after that 30-pitch first inning, pitching coach Jeff Jones told him he was too slow with his delivery. And after a quick check of the video to see what he meant, Sanchez started making quicker work of the Royals.
�I made my adjustments,� he said, �and I felt good after that.�
He felt better after watching Prince Fielder�s two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning, obviously. It was Fielder�s first home run since July 24, his second since the All-Star break and only his third at Comerica Park since May 10.
But an even better sight might have been the 4-for-4 night for Andy Dirks. He did it from the leadoff spot Thursday, subbing for Austin Jackson, who got the night off. But a late-season surge from Dirks could do wonders for the bottom of the Tigers� batting order down the stretch, with no Jhonny Peralta in the No. 6 hole and no guarantees about the healthy return of Alex Avila, who�s still not cleared to resume activity after his latest concussion.
As baseline tests go, by the way, Thursday night was a failure for his teammates, who probably ran themselves out of at least a run or two.
In the third inning, Dirks and Torii Hunter managed to hand the Royals a fielder�s choice double play (1-4-5-3 if you�re keeping score) with Miguel Cabrera, the game�s most feared hitter, in the on-deck circle. And then in the sixth, catcher Brayan Pena turned a one-out single into a 9-6-3-6-3 rundown with a wide turn at first base, followed by a sheepish apology in the dugout.
�Not too good tonight,� said Leyland, able to joke about it after a win. �A little shaky. A little wobbly.�
He was talking about his team�s legs, of course. Not its arms.
Anibal Sanchez (11-7) is one member of the Tigers rotation, which boasts a premium cast. / Elizabeth Conley / Detroit News

Samsung opens its flagship electronics store in Sydney Australia, claims it didn't copy the Apple Store design
Samsung, who is currently locking horns with Apple over various infringements with regard to cell phone and tablet patents, has just opened another retail store. This store is just a block away from Apple's own store in Sydney, Australia and what's more if you walked in without noticing the missing Apple logo outside, you may think you had walked into an Apple Store. Samsung claims otherwise but this store and the last store that Samsung opened in Canada appear to come straight from the Apple book of retail. The latest store details come from a report by The Sydney Morning Herald.
It's a flagship consumer electronics store on Sydney's George Street with smiling blue shirt-wearing sales staff, a minimalist design and smartphones and tablets that invite customers to pick up and play. But according to Samsung, the new store - just a block from Apple's Sydney store - was all its own idea.
Samsung Australia's vice-president of telecommunications, Tyler McGee, said Apple "didn't even come into the equation when we were looking for a location [for the store]". But come on, the layout of the store is pretty similar, right? "Well, if you look at our layout this is the layout that we use around the world and it's about basically giving the consumers the opportunity to interact, learn and play with our devices," McGee said.
Surely Samsung could have come up with at least a few original ideas; they even dress the sales staff in the traditional blue polo shirts worn by Apple Genius staff. The layout of the stores with the light wooden bench tables all laid out with working products is far too similar for it to be classed as an original Samsung idea. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but it's all getting a little bit silly now. Samsung can copy only so much from Apple, at the end of the day, Apple's customer service is second to none, I bet Samsung haven't fully copied that part yet and probably never will.
Take a look at the video below which gives you a brief look around the store. What do you think? Is Samsung trying to deliberately copy Apple's proven blueprint for retail success?

Looks like Samsung is good at something
thank god Samsung finally opened up this store... I hate just to notice apple stores and anyways apple stores should probability be sued by Samsung since apple obviously copied Samsung's design!!!
lol a bit of satire but in all seriousness apple sucks
How dare Samsung use Blue shirts and tables. We all know that Apple invented those.
That's nothing near an Apple store! I mean, it's not like the only difference is the lighting.
Face it Apple. There is going to be competition. Deal with it. Its almost embarrassing how much they cry. "Mom. Samsung is copying me again!"
What is embarrassing is how blatantly they copy Apple. It is hilarious. They have no self respect at all.
Exactly....Samsung are a joke
+1. Apple thought they would be dominant forever and disregarding the fact that there would be serious competitors so their reaction to that sudden surprise, try to eliminate the serious competitor. Well I'm happy that samsung is standing up for itself and putting up a serious fight against Apple because I want to have other option available and not just Apple product as my choices. But of course Apple would find any way to sue them regardless of how small that infringement is like the lighting this store. But as long as as Samsung has their guard up, Apple will not have an easy fight.
The fact that Samsung has to 'claim' that it didn't copy Apple is hilarious. If you have to claim you're not copying something, you might want to rethink your design...
THIS. This is more proof than anything that they're just a tad too close for comfort.
When have they ever claimed that outside of the court case, which is an obvious place to do so? #curious
Samsung wouldn't have to claim anything if not for the paranoid Apple user & devoted Apple tech press bringing the issue up at every turn. But as long as Apple keeps having Foxconn make the tin foil hats you folks will be fine.
Maybe we can talk to a Samsung SmartGuy about the click wheel washing machine
To be honest, it looks just like every Telstra store in Australia. Did Telstra copy Apple as well?
They copied the Microsoft store. ;-)
But "seriously", it looks nothing alike. The tables don't have legs like the Apple store. The walls aren't even illuminated like Apple's. :)
So they have blue shirts? Big deal. Best Buy and Sears should be the ones pissed about other companies wearing blue polos.
On top of that, blue has always been the color of Samsung, its in their logo, as well as in the logos of Microsoft and IBM. Don´t remember ever seeing a blue Apple logo though.
All this "copying Apple" is really getting tired. Jewelry shops have used this design for years now, they are the ones that should be pissed.
They should change their name to iCopy
Shamsung strikes again.
I tried to keep an open mind during the phone trial. Seriously, there is only so much you can do with a rectanglular chunk of glass. But this is ridiculous. No - Apple didn't invent blue shirts and minimalist sales floors, but Samsung didn't even try to hide the copying. I love how when asked about the similarities, the VP goes off on a different tangent about how it's a good place for customers to interact with Samsung products. I love Apple, and I have bought and enjoyed Samsung products, but that was just sad.
Looks like the layout and setup of every single mobile phone store and display area since the beginning of time.
im in all seriousness started to feel bad for apple, these guys are copying apple play by play and making millions off of it no effing joke. i have a galaxy nexus and i thing it is an original creation myself but that store touchwiz galaxy s3 this sht is getting really sad.
Why is this apple store selling all Samsung's phones? ...Awkward!
Haha. That was my first thought.
Blue shirted sales guys mean copying Apple? C'mon, Samsung's logo is set in blue. What do you expect them to wear? Silver shirts with a half eaten Samsung logo on the back?
other then both stores being light in color how are they the same. tables with phones on them, what are they supposed to do hang them from the ceiling. and for the blue shirts well samsungs logo is blue so that makes sense, wait best buy wears blue shirts did apple copy them?
im so tired of this just make phones i like.
This doesn't look like an Apple store. It looks lame.
Hmm...this is Samsung we're talking about, copying is in there genes.
Really people? This looks nothing like an apple store. This layout is found in every retail store that sells electronic devices. The blue shirts? Samsung has been rocking blue and white for a long time. Apple didn't invent retail stores or the minimalist design. Apple should honestly try to copy some more of Android's features. I'd love to have a toggle for wifi and bluetooth on the home screen or maybe change the theme without having to jailbreak.
News flash: I had my kitchen done in blond wood in 1988. Minimalism has been around for a long, long time. Samsung's logo is blue. 75% of stores in every strip mall in America look almost exactly like that, no matter what they are selling.
Get over it.
