Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, May 30, 2011.
How unexpected
I love the of that picture of him sitting all alone, contemplating...
PML. Another episode for Plush. Timing couldn't be better. We have the entire off season to and about it.
As I see it, personal feelings aside, he broke the rules and paid for it. How long should he be punished? Is the punishment really proportinate to what he did?
Do I see a single tear rolling down his cheek?
You don't say! Shocking.
is there a puking icon? LOL
I post the ones that I know go with this article
I thought this was old news already since Worlds, didn't Speedy said that ISU would accept to discuss the RF application for reinstatement?
June 9th! The video of Cinquanta sitting with Putin pointing to Plushenko and giving up a thumbs up at worlds was great.
I know, it's unintentionally
And in other not so shocking news......the sky is blue.
Maybe this is the Rapture - just a little bit late. Afterall isn't the possibility of Plushy competing again a punishment for us all?
Actually, I think his losing of his eligibility was kind of bogus.
The way I understand it, he did a show that normally would be sanctioned and apparently he was even told it was or would be sanctioned at first but then was told close to the show that, no, because he didn't go to Worlds, it wouldn't be sanctioned. Then he had to decide whether to pull out at the last minute or risk losing his eligibility. Pulling out at the last minute when he'd been advertised to sell tickets would have been hard on the show organizers so he was kind of between a rock and a hard place with this one.
I can't help feeling that other skaters would have been given the sanction and that colors my feelings about how it all went down.
Breaking the rules results in loss of eligibility from ISU competitions such as the Olympics, Worlds etc. It's not a temporary ban, it is forever and at this stage in the game, I think most/all skaters know it. If Joannie Rochette had the know how to ask for permission to perform a tribute to her mother on an ice show in 2010, then I don't think it's a stretch to expect Plushenko to do the same.
Why didn't he appeal the decision when it was made? He had 21 days to appeal and apparently didn't have a problem with it then. Strange.
It was just a tactical thing of not bringing the ISU to the Court of Arbitration.
He wasn't punished. He just had more time to make money with no pressure. The reality is that Plushy probably sees no value in performing at another Skate Canada or Skate American or Trophy Whatever the French Call It This Decade, etc. but it would do him some good to skate at Cup of Russian, Worlds, and in Sochi ... particularly since the Russian Federation is trying so hard to reabsorb talent by any means $$$ (the sign for Rubles would have been more fitting) possible.
Take your pick: http://www.artlebedev.com/mandership/116/
He'd already been sued by show organisers when the ISU did the same thing to him a couple of years ago - they told him at the last minute that if he skated he'd lose his eligibility, so he pulled out, went on ice to explain himself and got booed. The organisers sued him and it took ages to sort out.
I can't believe this stupid misinformation is still getting around.
The ISU has the power to impose a temporary loss of eligibility on a skater for breaking a rule. This is what they did to Plushenko. HIS LOSS OF ELIGIBILITY WAS NEVER PERMANENT. THE ISU DID NOT BAN HIM FOR LIFE.
I mean think about it - it would ridiculously unjust if they banned him for life, which is way longer than a drugs ban.
Plushenko DID ask for permission. The RFSF told him they would give it. Then three days out from the show everyone said no. What was he supposed to do? He chose to protect himself from lawsuits and heavy financial loss, make his fans happy and skate. Three days' notice is vastly unfair.
He did not appeal because the appeal would have had to have taken place in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The CAS has power over every jurisdiction in the world. A decision made at the CAS is FINAL with NO appeal.
Now imagine if Plushenko had taken the ISU to the CAS and won. He would essentially have been forcing the ISU to accept him as a competitor for the season. I can't imagine the ISU would have taken that lying down. They have many ways to get revenge.
Plushenko decided not to antagonise the ISU further than they already were, and decided not to appeal. This was an intelligent decision as it allowed the ISU to think they were punishing him, but left him able to still compete at Sochi.
For the rule he broke, it is not a temporary ban if the skater never asks for reinstatement or asks and is denied reinstatement. It is a temporary ban until the ISU grants reinstatement, if the skater applies for it.
The possibility for reinstatement for Plushenko's infraction is written into the rule itself. He's asking for nothing more than what is written into the rule.
I personally can't wait for him to come back, even if he never medals again (though I doubt that will happen.) The man loves skating, he loves competing, and he is great at what he does. Whether you like his style or not, you've got to admire his drive.
The men skating got exciting. At least someone who can seriously fight with Chan. I loved his new programs posted earlier here. He seems to be in very good shape. So bring it.
Hurry up, ISU!!!!!!
Well, what is there to work for when you have a platinum Olympic medal
Not even Rodnina, somebody that actually won 3 Olympics, has one of those
A diamond Olympic medal????? Eat your heart out, Irina Rodnina!!!!
Old news re-re-re-recycled.
I second the motion! He's certainly not technically inferior to Chan and is also more consistent whereas it seems to me that Chan has lots of ups and downs as far as falling etc. Age is against him but....what can it possiblly take for Plushenko to throw in the required transitions and difficult entrance/exits to jumps where he is already king??
Yes, I agree that breaking the rules result in loss of eligibility from ISU competitions such as the Olympics, Worlds etc. However, there have been skaters in the past who retired and did shows, lost eligibility and then decided to go back to competitive skating and got their eligibility reinstated. So if it was possible for them, why it is not for him?
Why he didn't appeal the decision when it was made - what would be the grounds for the appeal? By appealing he would be actually saying that he is being punished unfairly, whereas I think he knows he is being punished fairly, so in my view he took the punishment, hoping that he will be later to reinstate the eligibility as some others have done in the past.
I remember watching Rudolph Nureyev dance over the years. He refused to quit when he was on top, and he just kept taking the stage long after his physical facility had left him.
No doubt Plushy is in good shape right now, but I do hope, for his sake as a great skater, that he will recognize when it is time to retire. If he's going to try to make it to Sochi-and maybe he can-good for him. But there's nothing sadder than watching a once-great talent implode in public.
Here's hoping it won't happen to him. But if he keeps trying to extend his career on and on and on, it will happen eventually.
Not being negative. Just realistic.
No, you don't.
Maybe I'm being unfair -- okay, more than likely I'm being unfair -- but sometimes I get the impression that he thinks no one but himself should ever win Olympic gold.
LOL he was beaten in technical marks by LYSACEK in Vancouver. Of course he is technically inferior to Chan at this point his career, Chan is doing quads and triples much better than the ones Plushenko was doing in Vancouver, and his spins and footwork are at a whole other level at this point. And who cares about consistency since Chan could afford atleast 4 falls and still be able to beat Plushenko if Plushenko is at his Vancouver level (which he will probably be worse than as he continues to age on an already injured and battered body). Kozuka skating as he did in the Worlds LP would blow away Plushenko from Vancouver in atleast the LP phase as well. And for the record I dont even like Chan and do like Plushenko but he would be dumb to come back if the main reason he is coming back is to win. If he is coming back for other reasons then it isnt so bad, but somehow I doubt that given his reactions to not winning in Vancouver.
Sex on a stick.
Now we know why those old Plushy banners were hanging at the Megasport Palace last month!

Actually, I even spotted some banners for Yags, Irina and other long-retireds. Is it a Russian thing to hang banners for long-retired skaters at ISU competitions? Next year, somebody please remind me to take my "Sonja Henie #1" banner to ISU events!
And who cares about consistency since Chan could afford atleast 4 falls and still be able to beat Plushenko if Plushenko is at his Vancouver level
<if this is true then something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark (GOE)!!!
but he would be dumb to come back if the main reason he is coming back is to win. If he is coming back for other reasons then it isnt so bad, but somehow I doubt that given his reactions to not winning in Vancouver.
What on earth would a competitive skater like Plushenko come back for if not to win???
I truly can't believe that he was beaten on technical marks by Lysacek...but then, the bias of judges is infinite....
He is absolutely no match for Chan in the skating skills and transitions department. Not many skaters are.
While the rules talk about reinstatement, that clause is in there for people to come back as judges and officials. There were several periods where former eligible skaters were allowed to apply for reinstatement to get their eligibility back to skate but those windows are now closed. I don't believe Plushenko has an option to apply for reinstatement at this point unless he wants to become a technical controller or something (which would be awesome in it's own way).
Separate names with a comma.

For roughly the first half of 2013, Waukesha County recorded 10 heroin-related fatal overdoses, which tracks closely with 2012 when the total reached 21.
The Waukesha County medical examiner's office released information Tuesday for the 28 drug-related deaths in which toxicology results have been received and recorded. The deaths occurred from January through about June.
Of the 10 heroin-related cases, three were attributed to heroin alone, while others involved heroin and other substances.
Heroin addiction often begins with an addiction to opiate prescription drugs, and Waukesha County officials said 15 of the 28 deaths were related to opiate prescriptions.
The information comes as local residents, law enforcement, business leaders and treatment professionals prepare to gather Wednesday for a summit on heroin addiction titled "It's Not My Kid, Or Is It?"
The summit begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center in Brookfield.
A separate summit on the same topic is planned for 7 p.m. Jan. 29 at the Ozaukee County Pavilion in Cedarburg.
The two events are just two examples of the statewide movement to combat heroin addiction.
Last September, the Wisconsin Department of Justice launched a public awareness campaign called "The Fly Effect" as a way to educate teens and young adults of the dangers of heroin — and show how a heroin addict can spiral out of control.
State lawmakers also are trying to address the growing problem with new proposals that would offer heroin and other drugs users immunity from liability if they called 911 to report overdoses and would allow more first responders to carry drugs to counteract overdoses.
Experts agree that the number of fatal overdoses would be even higher if it were not for naloxone, a drug that reverses an opiate overdose.
In Milwaukee County, the majority of fatal drug overdoses in 2013 were caused by opiates, and 48 of the 180 drug overdose deaths — about 27% — were attributed to heroin. Those numbers are preliminary and will fluctuate because some 2013 death investigations are pending.

Federal agencies grappling with implementing Cloud First mandates face staffing challenges and lengthy procurement processes, making it difficult to take advantage of cloud technologies, according to a new Accenture Federal Services and Government Business Council report.
The report, "The Road Ahead: 3 Years After Cloud First," assesses the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of 286 federal executives regarding cloud services. Survey respondents agreed that cost savings and budget reductions are the primary drivers behind cloud adoption strategies, but agencies are struggling to develop and implement those strategies, in part, due to a lack of necessary staffing (69 percent) and the lengthy procurement processes (31 percent).
"While there are initial challenges in the adoption of cloud computing, it holds the potential to play a major role in increasing government efficiency and service delivery," said Annette Rippert, managing director, Technology Solutions, who leads Accenture's federal cloud work. "When properly executed, government agencies have much to gain in transitioning to the cloud."
To comply with the 2011 Federal Cloud Computing Strategy known as "Cloud First," federal agencies must evaluate cloud options before making new IT investments. However, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that of 20 cloud migration plans submitted by agencies to the GAO in 2012, only one was complete. In fact, only 10 percent of agencies have migrated more than half of their IT portfolio to the cloud.
More than two thirds of respondents said their agencies lack the necessary skilled staff to execute its cloud strategy and 31 percent said they would need to hire at least one new employee. About half of survey respondents (45 percent) said training is necessary to develop those skills, estimating that cost between $25,000 and $50,000.
Only 30 percent of survey respondents are implementing cloud strategies, and only 4 percent of those agencies are building new cloud environments. An additional 10 percent are integrating new and legacy systems to a cloud platform and 4 percent reported implementing "other" strategies. A full 58 percent were not aware of any cloud strategy underway at their agencies.
Despite the challenges, federal executives see the benefit of cloud adoption and listed better data security, bigger storage capacity and reduced IT costs as the top three benefits. Surveyed executives expect email (40 percent), agency performance data (34 percent) and data analytics (36 percent) to be most secure in the cloud.
On behalf of Accenture, Government Business Council (GBC) surveyed a random sample of online subscribers in July to assess perceptions, attitudes and experiences of federal executives regarding cloud services. The pool of 286 respondents includes those of GS-11 through GS-15 grade levels and Senior Executive Service (SES) grade levels in 26 defense and civilian agencies. Survey respondents work largely in operations, finance and procurement.
Accenture Federal Services is a U.S. company, with offices in Arlington, Va., and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Accenture LLP. Accenture's federal business serves every cabinet-level department and 20 of the largest federal organizations with clients at defense, intelligence, public safety and civilian agencies.

Moyers & Company
On Winner-Take-All Politics (#143)
How, in a nation as wealthy as America, can the economy simply stop working for people at large, while super-serving those at the very top? This weekend, in an encore broadcast of the premiere episode of Moyers & Company (check local listings), Bill Moyers looks deeper at America's economic disparity to investigate how it happened and who's to blame. His detectives: political scientists Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson, authors of Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer - And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class. Through exhaustive research and analysis, Hacker and Pierson - whom Moyers regards as the "Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson" of economics - detail important truths behind a 30-year economic assault against the middle class. Moyers calls the book "the best account I've seen of how politicians rewrote the rules to create a winner-take-all economy that favors the 1% over everyone else, putting our once and future middle class in peril." "I think a lot of people know that inequality has grown in the United States. But saying that inequality has grown doesn't begin to describe what's happened," Pierson tells Moyers. Hacker says, "It's not the haves versus the have-nots. It's the have-it-alls versus the rest of Americans." The show includes testimony of middle class Americans at a Senate hearing about the impact of hard times on families, as well as an essay on how Occupy Wall Street reflected a widespread belief that politics no longer works for ordinary people. Uncovering the ways Washington helps the rich get richer. Next on Moyers & Company. [56 minutes]

Series Description: Bill Moyers returns on-air and online in January 2012 with MOYERS & COMPANY, a weekly hour of compelling and vital conversation about life and the state of American democracy, featuring some of the best thinkers of our time. A range of scholars, artists, activists, scientists, philosophers and newsmakers bring context, insight and meaning to important topics. The series occasionally includes Moyers' own timely and penetrating essays on society and government. In a multimedia marketplace saturated with shallow sound bites and partisan name-calling, MOYERS & COMPANY digs deeper. As the Los Angeles Times put it in 2010, "No one on television has centralized the discussion of ideas as much as Moyers... He not only gives a forum to unusual thinkers, he is truly interested in what they have to say and who they are because he believes their ideas really matter. "

Joe Budden - Tipsy
Artist: Joe Budden
Featuring: Emanny
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 16 total votes )
It's been a long winter for all of America, from Chicago to Atlanta and everywhere in between. Perhaps that's why we're starting to hear songs that reflect the residual effects of "Cuffin' Season" that comes into play when cold weather hits. First, we had a smitten Lloyd Banks with I Don't Deserve You and now Joe Budden is professing that he's Tipsy for his dream girl in his latest stand alone single, available for download on iTunes. Budden is mum on the identity of this dream girl, but he describes her in great detail with vocal assists from Jay Townsend and Emanny. Not only is she a Fantasy Football fanatic on Sundays, she's with him at the strip club tipping the dancers. No wonder the hook proclaims "Baby I'm tipsy, so let's stay love drunk" - it sounds like Joe Budden has a winner in his corner. Whether Ms. Dreamy actually exists or not is irrelevant, Joe Budden is just enjoying being tipsy off those love endorphins. We'll see how things fare when the weather warms up - perhaps Mr. Budden will change his tune once again.

Georgian delegation was invited to the special reception held by the Sokar Oil Company within the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday. One of the topical issues of discussion at the event was the projects planned and implemented by the oil giant in Georgia. The company president Rovnag Abdulaev emphasized the cooperation with Georgian government and its work in the country.`Our company has close cooperation with Georgia. Along with other successful projects, within the first phase of the Nabucco project (a new gas bridge from Asia to Europe and the flagship project in the Southern Corridor), we`ll supply gas to Turkey via Georgia. This will increase the volume of transit on Georgian territory,` Sokar President said.At the end of the meeting, Georgian Prime Minister Nika Gilauri also delivered a speech hailing Georgia`s cooperation with the company.
Russia`s chief sanitarian Genady Onishchenko says the return of Georgian wine to the Russian market is not an important issue for Russia.

The show is dedicated to providing education, products and services for those running organisations responsible for the care of older people.
Advanced will demonstrate Caresys, which has been designed specifically for residential care providers. Caresys encompasses care planning, time and attendance management and financial and operational management.
Advanced will also showcase its revolutionary mobile solution, iConnect, to home care providers. The solution enables care workers to deliver real-time task lists and data via their mobile phones and records their actual arrival and departure times at service users' homes using near-field (NFC) technology. iConnect eliminates the need for care workers to carry around paper rosters and customers no longer have to sign pieces of paper to prove care workers' attendance at appointments.

Also, dumb slut girls that flash the ride photo cameras. My wife used to have to do photo edit. Apparently she had to delete the photo of a 12-14 year old girl flashing. I was told that apparently there was nothing to flash with, but I digress.
It's stupid, and rude.
First off, we see who you are, usually.
Secondly, you will NOT get to see your photo, and neither will anyone else you ride with, thus pissing off others who don't have a ride photo anymore because of your nipples. =|
Lastly, that shit usually gets you kicked out of the park for the day.
But if you REALLY FEEL THE URGE, by all means, go ahead and see if you think we can't stop you.

Rescuers Mission 7Ah, hello rescuers.
It seems we have hit, er, yet another crisis. I'm sure many of you are already well aware of this though, and are wondering what exactly has happened here. Unfortunately… I am just as clueless as you are. Mike hasn't returned. Winston seems to have vanished (although at first I thought he might have run off). And it appears that half of our village's populace has disappeared without a trace. And… ngh.
Just one thing after another with this place. It's just absolutely astounding how....
…I, ahem-- er, sorry. This really isn't the time for me to be cynical. We have to keep our spirits up! Hope is something we really can't lose at a time like this, after all. I'm sure everyone that vanished will return safe and sound. It's just a matter of when. They'll be back soon, though. I'm sure of it!
Ehehe, yeah… It was probably just... someone's Teleport backfiring, and they

Messy Updo's at the 2008 Costume Institute Gala
Trend Alert: Messy Updos at the Met
by POPSUGAR Beauty 29 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Last night at the fancy 2008 Costume Institute Gala in New York City, the women arrived wearing fabulous gowns adorned with sensational accessories. Some of their beauty looks were favorable, and some left little to be desired. One of the trends I noticed was the semi-laid-back approach to hair. Don't get me wrong, I am sure every strand was supposed to look like that, but there was a lot more looseness as a collective than I've ever noticed at a red-carpet event. Below are eight messy updos from some of Hollywood's leading ladies. What do you think of these hairstyles?

Scarlette and Mary/Ashley? look like sh*t. Scarlet has worn that do before, why would she do this to us again??? I absolutely love Hilary's and Blakes. I love Hil's makeup a lot too.

I like them all except for the Olsen twin. Yikes!! Why doesn't she want to look pretty. She is a cute girl. It is as if she attempts to be unattractive. I don't get it.

Love the messy updo, as long as it's not TOO disheveled-looking like Mary-Kate's.

I think Hilary looks amazing. I like this look in general. I'm not so into Mary Kate's hair or Scarlett's, but maybe if they were wearing casual outfits I would like them more.
bailaoragaditana 6 years
I like them all except for whichever Olsen twin is pictured - her hair looks horrible and her makeup makes her look dead (and about 80). Not attractive.

i agree, hillary duff looks nice too.

Best hair: Kate, Eva and Hilary. Molly should ease up on the nude lipper. And, oh yes, I could spare some change for 'poor/homeless' Mary-Kate.

I'm not a fun of the messy look in evening dress, it just doesn't go together for me.

I love Hilary's stuff.

it just looks messy. eva mendes' updo looks good, but the rest look like they rolled out of bed and did whatever to their hair.
