I think that "cannon fodder" is a MUST in shows that are casting "true" industry professionals with reputations to protect. Witness the current edition of Project Runway All-Stars. You just know that three or four WTF? cast members were put there (over better designers who might were just as eager to compete again) to safeguard the handful of designers with already successful careers. Eliminate the potential embarrassment of sending a Rami home in 10th place.
Drag Race might suffer in casting top queens for the season following one with, say, "all Rajas, Sharon Needleses, and Chad Michaelses" versus the season that had "some Rajas and Chad Michaelses with a few Mystiques and Alisas thrown in for variety and early boot purposes."
Phoenix, IMO, should've been given a one-time-only pass for bombing the Queens in Space challenge ... as she is far better a performer than her placement/the Alexis Mateo or anyone Carmen/6th or below.I feel like the talent pool in season 3 was a lot deeper as Venus, Phoenix, and even Stacey Layne are far better queens than most of these people.
Yeh, we can approximate placements for the first five or six weeks by outfits and how many times someone is shown. Quick shots of the runway and even LSFYLs also give us tangible information. I try not to look to closely, but I did notice my favorites wereIf you watch the preview for the season of Untucked, you can get a lot of hints as to who sticks around and who goes
Spoilerall over those previews. Yay.
Watched last night.
LOL - This is a skating board, so please don't tell me that Phi Phi O'Hara didn't rip off Jill Trenary's amazing hair circa 1988 I never ever thought of the draq queen possibilities from Jill Trenary!
Overall, I thought the comp was meh (I hope this isn't a pattern for the season!) -
The Princess didn't deserve to go home. I would've had Madame LaQueer in the bottom 2. THAT outfit was atrocious and should've been burned!
ita, i cant believe madame laqueer is still there. i dont think she is all that and i dont see her getting much better.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Sharon Needles is all kinds of awesome, and needs to win every challenge ... if only to see how long it would take for Phi Phi's head to explode. That girl is a sour, bitchy apple who seems rotten on the inside. Love to hate her! Hope PP stays to F5 or so and shangelas the hell out of the workroom, the runway, and the illusions lounge.
Chad Michaels = still flawless and sweet.
Still just do not get Kenya Michaels and the adoration (well, mostly from Michelle) therein. I'm a little less squeebed out by her womanly appearance out of drag, but "in" drag I've yet to see the allure. Also ... Sorry to get all Arizona here, but being able to show wit and fabulousness IN ENGLISH has to be a requirement. Jibber jabber in Spanish has been an easy points getter since Season 2 ... I'm tired of it. Kenya barely speaks three sentences each episode.
Fer chrissakes, did you all see Untucked? "The Michael Costello Award for Worst Acting Performance goes to Jiggly Caliente". And if that tearless crying jag was NOT acting, well, then Jiggly needs to grow up. Sorry, but I'm of reality contestants coming onto shows (JuJu Bee, Josh from Project Runway, countless others), and then bellowing episode after episode about parents who died 3, 4, 5, or more years ago. Jiggly's was merely the worst of the lot. Ugh.
Willam's treatment of Milan, trying to cast shade but falling far short, in Untucked was pretty good. "Is the carpet comfortable?" Willam has been a bore on the runway (frankly, disappointing), but I love the dry wit and the snobbish personae she has decided to stick with for this show.
i dont get kenya either. if on desperate housewives they sent gabbie's kids to a fat farm, they could cast kenya.
yara did her act way better
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
to the All-time Queen of Drag Race [screw Ru for that decision ] Miss Nina Flowers , had very few intentional "Spanish/jibberish" moments, but many fun unintentional such moments.
The overuse (/ get out of language free card) started with that manfaced Jessica Wild, in S2.
To me, Willam is reminiscent (EEEERILY) of NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON.
Madame LaQueer reminds me a great deal of DIVINE in regard to styling, hair, make-up and comedy.
However, look at him OOD (out-of-drag).... he is not much different than when in costume...overweight, out-of-shape, large manboobs, waddling walk and fat-girl attitude.
To me, Madame LaQueer is a gay man who could not cut it as a man, so he put on a dress. This makes him a WEAK queen, not fierce!
Fat, funny and reliant on make-up and wigs does not a drag-superstar make.
Same critique for Jiggly Caliente, only she couldn't cut it as a man with street cred, so she put on a dress also.
Both should go home back to lipsync in their neighborhood bars.
I love Sharon Needles & Chad Michaels...for me everyone else falls short. They are both great on the runway & great personalities in the challenges. And although she's not my idea of beauty I also really like Latrice.
I thought Dida was fabulous in the LSFYL but she shouldn't have been in the bottom 2. Her perfomance on the infomercial was a little bland but she was far from the worst. For me that would be Jiggly & LaQueer although I'm not upset about the Princess because she isn't good either.
I'm a little disappointed in William. I thought she would be more fabulous but she's falling a little flat. Loved the carpet comment though.
Is Milan the one who got down on the carpet...ie getting down to your level? I can't wait till she's gone...what a bitch! I hate her bucktoothed look. And Phi Phi is incredibly conceited for little reason...to me she isn't memorable. Kenya is just annoying...learn to speak English & come back.
ETA: one other thing....I would never make light of any of their struggles or past hurts, but the ones who dwell on it & bring it up all the time really bother me. I doubt any of them have suffered what Ru Paul suffered in his life...he paved the way for all these people at a time when gays, never mind drag queens, had very little acceptance in most countries. But he has never (in my hearing anyway) used the poor pitiful me card. I don't mind them mentioning it or telling some of their experiences...that's how we get to know them. Sharon's story really touched my heart but she told it & then moved on. Her whole persona isn't how she's a poor misunderstood & picked on person. It's like they think they should get a pass for bad makeup or so-so performance because of it.
I am also at the OTT bitchery over what I consider minor disagreements...the comp has hardly started & some of them are already bringing out their big guns.

So now we know that DiDa has a fierce runway walk AND can lip-sync amazingly well.
BUT THAT HAIR AND MAKEUP, ugh, so atrocious! I can't. It almost gives me hives.
She's got the hard part down pat: Performance ability. Bitch SHINES under the lights. But in a world of paint and artiface, it's time to learn the basics of hair and makeup.
Methinks the Princess just isn't a competitive person by nature and that's not a good quality when you're in a reality show competition. But I LOVE her look. Fare thee well, Princess!
Madame LaQueer is ridiculously boring. Jiggly, Milan, and Kenya are just ridiculous.
If Phi Phi is just "safe" again next week, I have a feeling she's gonna blow.
Chad, Sharon, & Latrice are above and beyond in their level of class and professionalism.
All in all, liking this season SO much more than last!
Best moment this week: Sharon and Natalie have a Hallmark moment over drug use innuendo. x 10,000.
Yes, Dida's lip synch was one of the best-ever RDR performances ... easily. Awesomeness. I may have just quit in the middle of that song if I were The Princess. Wonder how Dida will do with a song less obviously in her wheelhouse?
Speaking of the latter, sigh, too bad he's gone because I find the boy to be cute as hell. (Also too bad his drag name is The Princess, because ... as such mitigates his boy cuteness factor.)
Whee, it's a learning opportunity. Willam's FYI to everyone, from an interview on Queerty ...I'm a little disappointed in William.
It's "Willam. As in "Will…umm…you close your legs, please?"

I would think something edgier sounding would be more appropriate for his drag look.......but his OOD personality is just so charming and sweet!(Also too bad his drag name is The Princess, because ... as such mitigates his boy cuteness factor.)
That's why drag is awesome, you completely invent a new persona.
BTW, forgot to mention it last week, but Sharon's boyfriend's name (Alaska Thunderf*ck!!!) is just hysterical.
I can't stop giggling at Spinner's "Kristi Yummycoochy" comment.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
I really like Sharon Needles. Her banter with Natalie Cole about the name 'Sharon Needles' was hilarious. Sharon has got to be on the top 3!
Chad Michaels is just too perfect. He is a true professional. I adore him.
After seeing a cute faux promo of Drag Race spinning off even more series ("Dragnet, Dragton Abbey, Dragula, Drag the Bounty Hunter and many, many more."), on "The Soup", last night, I searched for it and found the extended version.
The video features Ru, Shangela, Raven, and Chad Michaels ... [hmmm, foreshadowing/good news for Chad?]. Chad is very funny, and (as we already knew) so are Raven and Shangela (LaQueefa is back!).
I wonder if this will be a mini-miniseries on The Soup, ala what they've done in the past.
That's hilarious!

Seahawks Enjoy Playing Santa's Helper
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 12/18/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - With a late-morning practice in the books, the UNCW men's basketball team headed over to the Salvation Army's "Toys for Tots" distribution center Tuesday afternoon to show they're in the holiday spirit.
Members of the team assisted volunteers with sorting mounds of toys, helping shoppers, moving boxes and carrying carts loaded with toys to waiting cars. Kimberly Bell, volunteer coordinator for the Salvation Army for the past several years, said the group's work could not be done without the support of everyone in the community.
"It's great having the Seahawks here," said Bell. "Everyone loves having them around because they're enthusiastic and energetic, and other people feed off of that."
The center, located off Independence Boulevard behind Hanover Center, opened in early October and distribution began on Nov. 1. Bell said more than 5,000 children will receive 1-3 toys from the allotment of 17,000 items expected to be collected and sorted.
"No gift is too small to be donated," added Bell. "We have stockings to fill, so a deck of cards is just as much appreciated as a bicycle is."
The Seahawks will be back on the court tomorrow night (Dec. 19) when state rival UNC Greensboro pays a visit to Trask Coliseum for a 7 p.m. tip-off.

Archer killed Artemis, who had a horrible miss. Archer then dies to an extremely lucky shot. Not such a reach to say that if there is such a thing as Luckamancy Karma, that these two events are related; however...
As a long time RPG player... you can always find a crit miss and hit to link together if you really want to. It's unavoidable in the statistics.
But one was a roll from Archer, while another one was a roll from an opposing doll. It's not one roll from archer being offset by another roll from archer; it's two different units. Why should archer get hit by the rock as opposed to a random infantry? Or the dwagon?
Could be his defense/dodge/save roll that was offset. When Artemis shot him, he went down. Artemis knew it was a good shot, but it didn't kill Archer. Saving throw mechanism, or just barely enough of a dodge roll turned what should have been an instakill into knockdown damage. A boulder being launched from a distance should be easy enough to avoid if you are paying attention to it. One bad perception/dodge roll later, and Archer is dusted.
Imperial Stormtrooper battle logic. You don't have to be able to aim your blaster, just keep firing until your opponent fails his dodge and gets hit by a stray blast.

While at Kamehameha Schools, Lehua Kalima joined with two good friends, Nalani Choy and Angela Morales to form Na Leo Pilimehana. In their senior year, they won a huge radio competition in Honolulu, Brown Bags to Stardom, playing in front of thousands at the Waikiki Shell. Nineteen albums and 20 Na Hoku Hanohano awards later, they continue to record and perform throughout the world.

In Detail
Given the nature of the business environment today, organizations that want to build value-added enterprise PHP applications need a team of PHP people rather than an individual. You've got a team! What next? Customizing such applications to meet with organizational objectives and maintaining these applications over time can be quite a tedious task for your team with so many people involved.
In this book, you will explore how you can break up complex PHP projects into simple sub-parts that multiple team members can work on. The book highlights the use of the MVC pattern for separating concerns in the application and agile principles to deliver code that works. You will learn to blend the simplicity and power of PHP with evolving software engineering principles and tools to easily develop code that is easy to maintain. With this book in hand, you know how to avoid getting muddled up while working in a team and achieve success on your project with effective team work.
Organizations choose PHP as the preferred language for complex web applications because it is battle tested, hardened over time, and proven to work. Thus, chances of the software project you are involved with being PHP-based, are very high. Soon, you will need to explore the technical as well as non-technical aspects that are important to achieve success in PHP team projects of this kind. This book starts by explaining the need for teams working on complex software projects. You learn how you can divide the complexity of PHP projects with the help of the MVC pattern and the use of frameworks. It then discusses the need for a process and how you can choose the right process. It teaches you how to use agile principles to deliver working software for customers, and how to make sure that the team collaborates effectively. Towards the end, the book emphasizes continuous improvement in process and product as well as the people involved. You learn how to ensure that your team is open to change and user feedback, and has the right mindset about quality and other project-related aspects.
A handy guide to simplify PHP project development for your team and enhance its productivity
This book looks into PHP projects mainly from an enterprise view. The author's experience enables him to give you an overall picture of PHP projects and discuss factors that contribute to project success in a clear and precise manner.
Each chapter focuses specifically on how the techniques covered will make team work easier. Examples (rather than abstract best practices) are used to illustrate the practical benefits.
Who this book is for
This book is for PHP developers who work in teams on complex PHP projects. With this book in hand, it is easy to discover the secrets of successful PHP projects that meet today's complex enterprise demands.
This book can also be useful for project managers who are looking to be successful with PHP projects. Those who are stakeholders in PHP projects, such as clients, or those who want to sponsor PHP projects, can also learn what to expect and how to deal with a PHP project team with this book.

vintermann wrote:Wanda has been offered a peaceful way of embracing her fate once, through Delphi's back room deal. She refused that, at advantage to herself (she became Chief Caster).
In an upcoming update, she will get the final "offer" from fate. Third time's the charm. And this time it won't be possible to escape, and her side will pay the ultimate price as she tries.
ParsonIsOP wrote:I still think the idea of "embracing your fate" is idiotic. If an event is predetermined, your embracing your fate or not isn't going to affect a damn thing.
Both Wanda and Delphi irrationally believe that their choices has some great mystical power over their fates and that it's concerned with punishing them when they make bad decisions.
The reality is that "Fate," such as it is, does not care. It is impersonal and has no special plan or privileges to dole out to people. Only a narcissist assumes otherwise.
ftl wrote:The event is predetermined, but how you get there isn't. You can take the easy way, or the hard way.
In this example, it was Predicted that Wanda would serve under Olive Branch. There was an easy way to do this - agree to be traded away to Haffaton in exchange for a treaty.
But Wanda refused the easy way. What's Predicted to happen WILL HAPPEN anyway, but if you refuse to take the easy ways of doing it, well, eventually you'll be forced into the hard way.
I think you're misunderstanding them entirely. They don't think Fate will directly 'punish them for making bad decisions'. What's Fated to happen is what will happen - you punish YOURSELF by trying to fight it.
It's not the wall that's punishing the person that bashes a hole in it with their head, it's the person's own fault for refusing to take the door. They wind up on the other side either way, but one of the paths leads to a concussion.
All we really know for sure is that Wanda is going to undergo a huge attittude adjustment.
zuche wrote:Chekhov's gun.
OneHugeTuck wrote:It seems that everyone is assuming that Wanda et all can just leave.
Why is that, exactly? As they obviously not only didn't leave, but didn't mention that as an option.
Mrtyuh wrote:...We know that she will serve under Olive Branch, and she is struggling against it...
ftl wrote:Exactly. Fate does not care. It's Fate that Wanda WILL SERVE under Olive Branch; it's up to Wanda to make sure she takes the easy way there, such as by accepting a treaty where she gets traded away, rather than by trying to fight Fate, and eventually winding up just taking a far more painful road to the same place. We don't yet know what that road is, and maybe I'm wrong about that, but I think that's what it's leading to.
I think that's how modern-day Wanda sees it, and based on what we've seen that view may very well be accurate. I expect that this prequel will get to her serving under Olive Branch, as was Fated, but in some way which really sucks for her (maybe destruction of her side, maybe having to Uncroak her family members, or something like that).
vintermann wrote:Very likely, she has another chance at joining Olive Branch peacefully now. She will probably refuse this time, too. In book 1, they often turned such situations into victories, but then they had the Ultimate Warlord. It would be cheapening Parson's skill if mere Wanda's cleverness was enough to turn this thorny situation into a win. So, she will refuse, but at a cost this time. Maybe Tommy. Maybe just a big tactical setback from the gains made in previous turns.
Whispri wrote:She's supposed to have cross discipline casting ability, but that isn't in evidence today (nor, arguably, has it ever been) and would require lengthy training to be of any use. So, what else is there to earn her this huge debt save skill at war? A hidden, bonus speciality? Is being destined to bond to the Arkenpliers really all there is to it?
Whispri wrote:And... she's supposed to have an astronomical value. A value that carries a terrible debt to pay. And so far, she hasn't done anything a bog standard Croakamancer could not have(With a little help from Clay I suppose). So she has to be more than Caster #7894653, a Croakamancer with (allegedly) a permanent Boost... So, what else is there to earn her this huge debt save skill at war? A hidden, bonus speciality? Is being destined to bond to the Arkenpliers really all there is to it?
Dunbar wrote:Have we ever gotten confirmation that erfworld predictamancers are always right? That if they predict something it will happen? Though how it happens is malleable...Wanda will serve under Olive Branch, but how she gets there is a mystery.
If predictamancy is 100% accurate, that brings up some interesting points. For one, it's presumed that you can predict the important battles then use a luckamancer to tilt the odds to make sure you win those battles. But what if you predict about the battle and Kilo and the answer is "You will not take the city", then no amount of luck will change that as fate is decided, so you attack somewhere else. But even then, fate is decided. You could predict that you will conquer Kilo, then why even try to do it? Send in a handful of pikers and watch Fate insure that the prediction comes true. Then again, it could mean that you will conquer it, but it won't happen for 20 turns, and you lose the battle only to take Kilo much later on. I'm struggling to find the usefulness of predictamancy here.
Also, if predicted events have to happen, then what if you act directly against them? What if they tried to disband Wanda? Would the leader just not be able to do it? Would Fate drop an anvil on his head before he could finish the command? Does this mean if you are Predicted to do some future action that you are safe until that happens? In a way I see how embracing your fate works in your favor. If your fate simply cannot be avoided, if it 100% will happen no matter what you do, then any action you take that is counter to that fate will 100% fail. So in that sense embracing fate makes life easier.
However, embracing fate is easier said than done....in the Avatar TV series, General Iroh was fated to conquer the city of Ba Sing Se. As general of the fire nation, he attacked the city, only to have his son be killed and for him to abandon the field in defeat and be exiled for his failure. Many years later the fire nation has conquered the city, and Iroh returns and conquers the city, realizing only now that he fate was not to conquer it for the fire nation, but to conquer it in the name of the earth kingdom and free it from the fire nation. So attempting to embrace his fate was the harder path...though if he hadn't attacked the city as general of the fire nation, he would never have ended up leading the resistance to free the city from the fire nation...or rather he would have, since he was fated to conquer the city, but maybe it would have been a less painful path.
In short, Fate has you by the short hairs I guess. Which brings me back to the value of predictamancy....if all predictamancers are essentially Cassandra from Greek myth, who had the ability to see the future but the inability to change it, what good are they? Whatever they predict will come to pass, and attempting to avoid it will end in tragedy, but attempting to embrace it may not be the right path either? How much of the future is predicted? How much free will do any erfworlders really have?
free will
free and independent choice; voluntary decision: You took on the responsibility of your own free will.
Philosophy . the doctrine that the conduct of human beings expresses personal choice and is not simply determined by physical or divine forces.
Mrtyuh wrote:So far, every Predictamancer we've seen has been a manipulative sort who seems perfectly willing to lie, which means we can't take everything they say about their discipline at face value. For examle, when Marie tells Janis that she Predicts that Janis will stack with Parson, I get the distinct impression that she is manipulating Janis as opposed to making an actual Prediction.

Fortunately, they are not impossible to deal with. In fact, they are quite easy to get rid of if you find a qualitative skin tags removal cream. But aside from the products you can find in commerce, you may just as well rely on a few homemade recipes. Most of them are said to work as solid adjutants to creams and other solutions. Plus, they are inexpensive and easy to create at home.
No matter how basic aspirin seems, it is actually one of the most effective skin tags removal solutions out there. You only need a single pill. Put it in a glass of water and let it dissolve. Stir a little, then apply the cocktail on skin tags. The more you can keep the area wet, the quicker you get rid of those formations. From this point of view, if you spend a lot of time at home, it might be a good idea to get a compress and stick it to the problematic area.
Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is also very easy to find in commerce and also inexpensive. It does not require any special preparations at all. Instead, you only need an applicator. You may just as well use a compress or anything else that works. Put the respective applicator inside some apple cider vinegar, then gently apply on the skin tag. Let the area dry naturally for around ten minutes. The operation must be performed three times a day.
Baking soda
Baking soda is a good abrasive solution that can be naturally used against a series of skin problems. Skin tags make no exception either. In order to prevent any discomfort or painful sensations, mix baking soda with a glass of water, then apply the cocktail on your skin tag. Do it two times a day for at least a week and you will be surprised by the final results.
Tea tree oil
Last, but not least, tea tree oil is yet another good skin tags removal naturist solution. It must be applied on skin tags for around five times, on a daily basis. With time, skin tags tend to go dry and they fall. They usually fall when you move around while sleeping, so the pleasant surprise from the morning is hard to describe in words.

Well this can't be good.
Thank goodness...
Hope Mitchell feels better soon!
Poor Mitch.. Never have so many been so glad to hear someone has the stomach flu..
Get better quick , Mitch..there's work to be done to be ready for Canadians.
Looks like P/I are gonna be skating a gala in Germany this week!
Has anyone ever heard of it? I found a bit of info, but not much...
Regardless, what a great thing for them to get out in front of an international audience. Hopefully we'll get some pictures or video or something.
I posted about the show in the German news thread in GSD: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...=1#post3770548
"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
I´ll be at the show in Ingolstadt and I can tell you how they did! I´m really looking forward to see them, there! I only saw the at the Nebelhorn-Trophy so it will be great to see them at a show. This show was shown on TV for several years on EuroSport or the Bavarian channel, in the last years it was only shown of a very local channel of Ingolstadt, and this years it won´t be shown at all but maybe you can buy DVDs of the show... I´ll try to find out more when I´m there.
I don't know if any video will turn up, but here's an amazing album from today's show. P/I appear all throughout -- there are multiple sets of different shots from their two programs as well as a group number including Alex, Sinead, and Eman, and the group finale with everyone.
Well, it's not much, but this clip from a German news station shows a few seconds of P/I performing, along with all of the others. I don't recognize the song they're using, but I believe it was sung live.
I think the song is Get here.
Weirdly, that clip freezes for me as soon as the woman's announcement ends... I'm pouting...
Ah, that pout must have helped..5th try lucky

Here's a longer video. I had quite a bit of trouble with the shorter clip as well, but this one ran very smoothly. The Eisgala coverage begins at around 9:00, with clips of both of P/I's programs starting at about 13:25.
A Christmas message (and an adorable pic) from P/I's Facebook page.
Merry Christmas to all those who are celebrating!
Cute picture!! I hope P/I have a great Nationals!!
Have any of you seen this...?
A tumblr account dedicated exclusively to P/I. How lovely.
Just gorgeous.....thanks for posting skatingfan04. I'm always rooting for those two.
Addicted to FSU
I'd love to know what you all think of their chances for the rest of the season, given the latest developments in Canadian dance.
For those who haven't heard (though i suspect most have), Kaitlyn Weaver broke her fibula a few weeks back, and she had since had successful surgery to repair the injury and is recovering at home (and currently walking on crutches). They have confirmed that they will not be attending nationals, and while no determination has been made about worlds as of yet, I can't see any why that she could possibly be recovered in time for that. I'm a massive W/P fan, and my heart is breaking for them right now, especially since this season was already a rough one for them, and they'll be missing a home town world championships.
Returning to the subjects of this thread, I would say the situation, as tragic as it is, is going to open the door for P/I regardless of where Gilles/Poirier end up placing. I haven't followed this season as closely as I do most years, but it doesn't seem to me like Ralph/Hill or Orford/Williams will have enough to knock P/I off of the podium unless they make a major mistake. Their material just isn't strong enough, especially in a season where P/I have really strong programs which seem to have been well received by judges thus far. So if all goes well, they should be heading off to worlds, which is fabulous for them. Whether they go in the silver or bronze medal position remains to be seen, but given that they've been so close to G/P all season, and that G/P didn't seem to make quite the impact on the GP that was expected of them (don't get me wrong, they had a fantastic first season, especially considering they're such a new team, but I don't think they had that "wow" moment that teams so often have when they start out), I think P/I have a very reasonable chance of beating them as well. I don't think the judges will get away with the same kind of insanity they pulled last year.
My concern, with W/P out, is about spots for the 2014 Olympics. Virtue/Moir will be first or second, barring some sort of epic disaster (and given that their FD is a total masterpiece, my money's on 1st), meaning that our next team will have to come 11th or 12th for us to earn three berths. Everyone's been rolling their eyes at that one, but I honestly don't think it's that far out of the realm of possibility. I believe Ralph/Hill were 13th at last year's worlds, and I think that both P/I and G/P are stronger skaters that they are, so there's no reason to believe that one of the two teams could finish at least as high. Take into account the fact that with W/P out, everyone below the top 5 will be moving up a spot anyways, and I think it could happen. At least I'm hoping so. It'll be so devistating if, with all the talent we have, there will only be two Olympic spots next year (think Weaver/Poje circa 2010). Fingers crossed!
The problem for Paul/Islam is that they had no GP events this season, where G/P had two. P/I's first International was the US event, where G/P and P/I had high scores, beating Chock/Bates. But neither G/P nor P/I scored as high in their later events as they did at the US event. P/I finished 5th at Nebelhorn, where the medalists were Chock/Bates, Zlobina/Sitnikov and Zhiganshina/Gazsi---all of whom will likely be skating at Worlds. G/P were 4th at SC and 6th at TEB. On ISU World Standings, P/I are #32 and G/P are #42, which means both teams will skate early in the SD.
Neither team is likely to beat the 3 Russian teams, the 3 US teams, and Cappellini/Lanotte. Teams they have to beat to make top 12 include Guignard/Fabbri, Zlobina/Sitnikov and Zhiganshina/Gazsi.

Bexar County is beginning a new project in its 10-year, $500 million flood control plan, and the public is invited to ask questions about the project at tonight's information session.
The meeting is to inform residents, business people and other members of the public what will be affected by the $8.5 million project on VFW Blvd. near Roosevelt Avenue.
In the first segment:
The low-information voter: The often-complained-about citizen who knows when voting day is, but not enough to make a sound decision on the issues, or candidates.
At least that is what the people who lose think.
This term is often thrown around when "people vote against their interest" or "the media frames an issue in a way to mislead."
The San Antonio Area Foundation has received one of its largest single gifts in its history thanks to a gift bequeathed in the will of Mary Jane K Lewis.
Area Foundation Spokesman Joel Williams said Lewis had been a contributor with her late husband since 1994.
"In her will she left the Area Foundation more than $7 million to manage and to have it in a permanent fund that makes annual grants to local charities," Williams said.
Following the arrest of several deputies in the past week, Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau told reporters she has implemented programs to address disciplinary problems among deputies and detention guards.
In three separate incidents, two deputies were arrested at their homes in connection with domestic violence issues.
Paul Berry, a sheriff's department spokesman, said that in another incident two jail guards got into a fight Sunday evening.

The House and Senate established a provision as part of the Senate's budget that requires passage of a Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas oversight bill in order for the group to be funded by the state.

The City of New Braunfels will take a final vote on some consumer-friendly ordinances at its next meeting.
In April the city took an initial reading on an ordinance to allow people to bring their dogs with them to dinner or the bar if the restaurant or bar has a patio.
New Braunfels Mayor Gale Pospisil said the ordinance known as "paws on the patio" would require business owners to apply for the permit, which has a few restrictions.
London saw the printing of "Mother Goose-Melody" around 1765 - you might remember it from childhood, and perhaps even sung it to your child. Violinist Rachel Barton Pine has been singing to her daughter Sylvia, and decided to make an entire album of lullabies.
San Antonio's South Side has a new councilwoman to represent them at City Hall. Rebecca Viagran clinched 51 percent of the vote, surging far above Leticia Ozuna's 38 percent.
Ozuna, although not truly an incumbent because she was appointed to the seat a year and a half ago to fill Jennifer Ramos' unexpired term, was running her first race and expected to win the seat.
She cited experience and her work on technology issues for the city as reasons she should come back for a full term. Mayor Julián Castro also endorsed her.

Four of the most exquisite skaters of all time skating to one of their most brilliant programs:
Janet Lynn
John Curry
Yuka Sato
Carolina Kostner
Which is your favorite?!?
Yuka! Yuka! Yuka!..and her costume is the best designed , most subtle and beautifully executed of that type of costume ever...
I think this is the best version of Janets Faun from the 1970's:
Janet Lynn 1971 Worlds EX
Waaaay too hard to decide between John & Janet
I think that Ilia Klimkin did a good job ... you guys have all forgotten about him, it seems
The 4 skaters are among my favorites. It's very difficult.
Of course, John Curry is probably the nearest from the ballet. And Janet Lynn has those qualities I love about her skating (light, expressive, freedom...).
But my favorite is probably Carolina Kostner, because of her Loop into the spiral, right into the step sequence.
This step sequence is so beautiful, IMO.
Klimkin was amazing! Such underrated skater, those commentators are really stupid...never shut up and spoil the program with such fruitless comments
Anyway, this music is for pure, gorgeous skaters and all of the skaters of the list are very pure, indeed. But I like Klimkin's the best, although he has a hunched back most of the time. He created something different and new with that program in the 6.0 were transitions were really needless
CAROLINA !!!!!! such a good program. One of the best step sequences ever
I love all four (and I love Klimkin's too). When I first heard that Carolina was going to use Janet's "signature" music, I literally cringed, but Carolina blew me away with that program, and I have been a huge fan ever since.
Interesting trivia - Janet Lynn was a judge at the World Pros at which Yuka skated this program. When Yuka found out, she was a bit nervous skating to this music in front of her, but Janet loved it of course.
Carolina. I honestly couldn't stand this music until she skated to it. I called it 'Quaalude for an Afternoon of the Yawn'.
Last edited by FunnyBut; 06-21-2012 at 04:36 PM.
Janet's version is considered one of the best (may be THE best?). I voted for Yuka Sato though. I loved her skate to this music, although Janet may have interpreted it better.
Janet "The Queen before the Kween" Lynn... Heaven on Earth..
No Jennifer Robinson?!?!???
Can't find that anywhere online btw...her LP in her final year in 2004.
It was skated very slowly but was nonetheless kinda pretty.
I just remember feeling bad for her because that year she actually skated pretty well at worlds from a # of jumps completed perspective, yet she kept dropping in the standings after the prelims to the short to the long. That was the same year Joannie made her first good impression with international senior judges skating a clean short and doing six triples in the long to finish 8th. The baton was passed at that comp.
In fact, JRo even announced her retirement before the long which is a very unusual thing to do.
I met her in 2009 at 4CC and asked her about the 'skating well but dropping' phenomenon and she admitted that this was one of the signs that it was time to go. I'm sure there were other factors, though.
Charlene Wong skated a very nice pro program to Faun, I believe it was choreographed by Toller, but I don't think it's in the same league as the programs in the poll.
Although they are all lovely, my favorite by far is Ilia Klimkin. His program is so intricate, and brings out so much of the choreography of Nijinski. I don't think Klimkin was appreciated. This remains one of my all time favorites.
DH - and that's just my opinion
Caro! Gorgeous program!
Needless to say, I vote for Ilia Klimkin on this one. Unfortunately, the poll has no "Other" choice. He looks like a mischievous faun playing, and does unexpected, intricate things, which for me is just what the music is pleading for the skater to do.
Poor man, he had the bad luck to be skating for Russia when Abt, Yagudin & Pluschenko were all competing. And he tended to do stuff that was underappreciated under 6.0.
I'm glad someone mentioned Ilia Klimkin's "Faun". His skating was sublime. So intricate and unusual.
I couldn't choose. Lynn or Curry. The rest were, how best to say, inspired by those two greats.
I will not be ignored! -Me
thanks for the thread.
Janet Lynn's was just soooooo special. probably the most beautiful programme EVAH ....
Coincidentally Susanna Poykio always reminded me of her, too bad Susanna never quite realized her potential ...
J.Ro's programme deserves a mention as well. I thought she really skated from her heart.
