wow, another pyle shirt so soon???
It appears that, on this day, the pencil is mightier than the sword.
I figured Number 9 would be in the shape of John Lennon.
what exactly is number 12?
oh brother...so much for thrusday.
I want to see how No. 8 gets sharpened....
Is No. 9 the Loch Ness Monster?
nightsechos182 wrote:what exactly is number 12?
I believe it's a lightsaber.
Number Eleven is a plane. Hmmm, not sure if I like the 9/11 reference.
Yeah, that's what I want to know. Almost looks like there's lines around the eraser to indicate it's vibrating? The pic is too small to tell if it's a sex toy. That's the kind of thing I'd want to be sure about before ordering one for my kid. edit: Ok, I see it now, lightsaber. Thanks to those with better eyes. :::picks mind up out of the gutter:::
I could represent the 937. But I think I will pass.
a lightsaber.
Sorry...12 years of public education taught me to "associate" something else, besides a pencil, when someone says "No. 2?"
I think number nine is just a dinosaur...? pretty clever t-shirt, I just don't think I would wear it.
chrisprender wrote:I believe it's a lightsaber.
Ahh I see it now. On another note, number 8 has a dinky eraser!
In all seriousness, I would love to have a pencil in the shape of a combat knife.

Are you sure that 12 years of childish stupidity taught you to associate "No. 2" with something other than a pencil?
These are just random shapes...right? If this is a reference to something it's going completely over my head.
I like Number 8... but it would not be valid on exams.
bigtd422 wrote:Number Eleven is a plane. Hmmm, not sure if I like the 9/11 reference.
A plane in a nosedive, no less.
Wish I could take my scantron exams with a #12 pencil.
Number 9 looks like a Turkey Banana hybrid. BANANA GOBBLER PERHAPS?? Wait.....
Personally, I like that No. 10 is a knife... kind of a play on "The pen is mightier than the sword"... So it stands to reason "The pencil is mightier than the knife"
he doesn't seem to know too much about pencils.
Don't jump to such rash conclusions. I'm fairly certain that this is simply his pencil collection.
Has anyone noticed that #11 is a plane? Maybe I'm just over-analyzing, but that's a bad idea for anyone who gets it.
IT also works with this shirt http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=13234
I so need this shirt I'm always bringing my number 8 battle axe to standardized test and then I have to borrow one and it's so embarrassing. The one you borrow is never sharp and you have to stand there at the sharpening wheel infront of everyone while they start their tests.
That's what I saw too. Just wondering if it was an accident or on purpose.
chris12345 wrote:A plane in a nosedive, no less.
Well thats just funny.
i don't get it... and the whole 9/11 thing is in pretty bad taste
No wonder standardized tests only allow No. 2 pencils. I think I'd be too worried the kid next to me with a No. 7 or No. 10 was getting ready to attack me for my answers to focus on the test. Further No. 1 or No. 4 could totally make passing notes easier.
AlienZulu wrote:i don't get it...
They're pencils in amusing shapes. Not every shirt is a reference, or otherwise contains something to "get".
lord2x4 wrote:That's what I saw too. Just wondering if it was an accident or on purpose.
I'm fairly sure that airplanes and 9/11 are not mutually attached. Since the pencil is #11, and not #911, you all are just being easily-offended nitwits.
I'm glad I have a pocket protector.

Redux of the "We Rule the Air" hullabaloo, much?
I don't get how "Nessie" (9) is related to a jet (11).
If number 10 were a real pencil, I would use it exclusively.

'Cuz they're not.

I'd say it's more akin to the Abe-racadabra hullabaloo, where a tall man with a tall hat pulling out a tall giraffe as a magic trick was somehow racist, because lincoln freed slaves and giraffes are african

With the Snoozer Lookout Car Seat, you can give your pet the perfect place to ride while on the move. Having your pet safely contained in the Snoozer Lookout Car Seat is sure to provide a safe trip for all passengers.Containment strap included
- Ensures pet safety while driving
- Made in USA
Polyurethane foam form with cover made of quilted nylon,
poly/cotton, or vinyl. Interior sitting area has faux lamb's wool
material (polyester) for comfort.
Care Instructions:
Cover is removable and machine washable and dryable. Wash in warm
water and tumble dry on low heat.
Advice for Use:
Place the Lookout on either the front or rear seat of your vehicle.
It will be high enough so that when your pet is inside they will be
able to look out the window and see what's happening outside. This
keeps them interested in their ride and they won't want to climb on
your shoulders or in your lap, making for a safer ride. Our
customers also tell us that motion sickness has been reduced for
many pets.Bring the car's shoulder strap and lap belt down through
the open channel along the back of the Lookout seat and snap it
into the seat belt receptacle. This fastens the Lookout to the car.
For safety during sudden stops your pet should have a harness and
be strapped into the Lookout. A containment strap is supplied with
the Lookout. The hook end attaches to your harness's "D" ring and
the other end clips around the lap belt. DO NOT ATTACH THE STRAP TO
THE PET'S COLLAR. Adjust the harness so that your pet has movement
but cannot get out of the Lookout.In the beginning your pet may
move side to side. You can always put a safety pin through the
supplied strap and the seat belt to keep the strap centered in the
seat. It can be removed as your pet becomes accustomed to the
Lookout (safety pin is not supplied).
Your pet will quickly realize they can see out or sleep comfortably keeping both you and your pet safe during sudden stops.Use the Lookout at home or in hotels as your pet's bed and then move it into the car for travel. Your pet will look forward to sleeping in it at night.Available in a variety of colors you are sure to find the perfect car seat to match your car, or your individual style.
For Pets up to 18 lbs. Interior sitting area measures 12" deep x
14" wide. Exterior dimensions of the product are 19"L x 15"W x
For Pets up to 25 lbs. Interior sitting area measures 12" deep x

recommend cutting out a piece of newspaper to the interior
dimensions of each seat and placing your pet on each. This will
help determine what size would be most comfortable for your

Barnaby Vol. 1 by Crockett Johnson - Previews, Pre-Order | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under video, previews, new releases, Crockett Johnson, Barnaby | 22 Apr 2013 11:53 AM |
Barnaby Vol. 1
by Crockett Johnson
Edited by Eric Reynolds & Philip Nel; Introduction by Chris Ware; art direction by Daniel Clowes
320-page black & white (with some color) 11" x 6.75" hardcover • $35.00
Ships in: May 2013 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now
Before authoring one of the most beloved children's book series of all time — Harold and the Purple Crayon — cartoonist Crockett Johnson created the comic strip Barnaby for over ten years (1942 to 1952). Its subtle ironies and playful allusions never won a broad following, but the adventures of 5-year-old Barnaby Baxter and his fairy godfather Jackeen J. O'Malley was and is a critical favorite.
Fantagraphics introduces the wonders of Barnaby to a new generation of children and parents alike. Co-edited by Johnson biographer Philip Nel (Dr. Seuss: American Icon) and Fantagraphics Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds, with art direction by graphic novelist Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), this five-volume Barnaby series will collect the entirety of the original newspaper strips from 1942-1952. The first volume collects all the strips from 1942 and 1943.
Barnaby revolved around a precocious five-year-old named Barnaby Baxter and his fairly godfather Jackeen J. O'Malley. Yet O'Malley, a cigar-chomping, bumbling con-artist and fast-talker, was not your typical protector. His grasp of magic was usually specious at best, limited to occasional flashes, often aided and abetted by his fellow members in The Elves, Leprechauns, Gnomes, and Little Men's Chowder & Marching Society.
Barnaby's deft balance of fantasy, political commentary, sophisticated wit, and elegantly spare images expanded our sense of what comic strips can do. With subtlety and economy, Barnaby proved that comics need not condescend to readers. Its small but influential readership took that message to heart.
"I think, and I'm trying to talk calmly, that Barnaby and his friends and oppressors are the most important additions to American arts and letters in Lord knows how many years." – Dorothy Parker
"One of the best comic strips of the 20th Century and one of the most beloved older strips for a generation of devoted adult comics fans, Barnaby had become in the last decade and a half the great unsigned strip collection." – The Comics Reporter

Cardinals seeking division title in opener with Cubs
St. Louis secures NL Central with win or Pirates loss to Reds
The Cardinals have a chance to clinch the National League Central title for the first time since 2009.
After sweeping the Nationals in a three-game set, the Cardinals (94-65) can secure the division title with a win Friday against the Cubs or a Pirates loss Friday to the Reds. The Cardinals also are battling the Braves (94-65) for the best record in the NL and home-field advantage in the postseason.
To secure that edge, St. Louis has to have a better record than the Braves outright, since Atlanta holds the tiebreaker (regular-season series record).
"A fight's a fight," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "It feels like we're in a fight. We show up here every day excited and anxious. Can't wait to get out here and watch our guys do their thing and watch it play out. But it's very similar to last year. We just feel like we've got something to prove every night."
The Cardinals have only set their starting rotation for Friday, when they'll give the ball to Lance Lynn (14-10, 4.09 ERA). They're leaving the weekend open depending on different scenarios. If they're in line for a Wild Card game, they'll likely save Adam Wainwright (18-9, 3.01 ERA) to take the mound for that postseason playoff. If not, Wainwright could pitch Saturday and start the first game of the NL Division Series.
Matheny explained why he's holding off on making the decision.
"I want the guys preparing to stay on time for their starts," he said. "I don't want them thinking about what the possibly is if X, Y or Z happens. We got to play today, win today. And then tomorrow we'll address other things. It's not time to go anywhere else yet.
"I got to tell you, I know the scenarios and I know how it all plays out. But I'm really not going there. Maybe most people do. They start mapping it all out. I've got a very vague picture of what it should look like, but for the most part, I don't want to go there. Because when I think I start going there, I start opening the door for those guys to go there. And when they start going there, bad things are set to happen. We've got plenty of time to figure that stuff out."
The Cubs are bringing their full arsenal of weapons to their final fight. Travis Wood, with a 2.98 ERA this season, takes the mound Friday night looking for his 25th quality start in 32 chances this season. His last time out, he threw seven-innings of one-run ball against the Braves, who were trying to clinch the NL East title.
Now Wood will try to do the same to the Cardinals.
"I don't think any team looks forward to [seeing an opponent clinch]," he said. "But it's always exciting when somebody does, and one day, hopefully, that'll be us."
Cardinals: Westbrook hoping to contribute in relief
Veteran right-hander Jake Westbrook has been keeping himself fresh, throwing off flat ground and awaiting a chance to pitch.
He hasn't had one in almost three weeks since returning from the disabled list.
"It's been tough, but I'm trying to stay as sharp as I can," Westbrook said. "I warmed up pretty extensively in that Colorado game [on Sept. 19] and was throwing really well. I'm confident that if I do get a chance, I'm definitely going to be ready."
The 35-year-old is making $8.75 million this season, with a mutual option worth $9.5 million for next season. First will be the decision on Westbrook's role, if he has one, in the postseason.
"I just hope that I fit in," Westbrook said. "That's where I am right now."
Cubs: Decision coming on Sveum's future
Manager Dale Sveum is signed on for 2014, but he's expecting to learn more about his status for next season on Monday when he meets with Theo Epstein, the club's president of baseball operations.
"I'm not going to sit here and lie and say you're not wondering what's going to happen four, five days from now," Sveum said Wednesday. "That's just human nature. There's nothing you can do about it, or control those decisions. You just keep plugging away."
The team used a franchise-record 56 players this season as they continue to rebuild, though team officials have said Sveum will not be judged based on wins and losses.
"The bottom line is we haven't won as many games as we'd like to," Sveum said. "I knew getting this job there was going to be a good chance of people getting traded for prospects and that we needed to get the Minor League system much healthier and hit the jackpot on some free agents that we signed. Nothing's really changed from what I was told. You're never promised anything."
Worth noting
• Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter needs two more hits for 200. The last Cardinals player to collect 200 hits was Albert Pujols in 2003.
• Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has 63 extra-base hits this season, the most for a Cubs left-hander since Corey Patterson had 63 in 2004. Mark Grace had 65 in 1999.
Friday: LHP Travis Wood (9-11, 2.98 ERA) vs. RHP Lance Lynn (14-10, 4.09 ERA).
Saturday: RHP Edwin Jackson (8-17, 4.74 ERA) vs. TBD
Sunday: RHP Jeff Samardzija (8-12, 4.33 ERA) vs. TBD

Katherine Webb, girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, watches the BCS National Championship game Monday when the Crimson Tide beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 42-14. / Matt Cashore, USA TODAY Sports
ESPN's Brent Musburger "went too far" in comments about an Auburn grad, the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, who appeared on-air during the Crimson Tide's victory Monday against Notre Dame in the BCS title game.
The network apologized for that.
During the cablecast, Katherine Webb, Miss Alabama, was caught on camera sitting near McCarron's mother.
Webb obviously impressed Musburger, 73, who said, "You quarterbacks, you get all the good-looking women. What a beautiful woman. Wow!"
In a statement Tuesday, ESPN says that while it tries to capture "interesting story lines ... we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that."
ESPN's Mike Soltys also said, "Brent declines to comment."
Todd Musburger, Brent's brother and agent, told USA TODAY Sports: "We have nothing to add."

The Jeep Wrangler was redesigned for the 2007 model year, and a larger, heavier 4-door model was added for the first time.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.
Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.
How this test is conducted
During the crash, the driver door opened. This opening didn't significantly affect dummy movement during the test but shouldn't happen because, in some crashes, it could allow partial or complete occupant ejection, especially if the occupant is unbelted. This door opening resulted in a structure rating downgrade from good to acceptable.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — Although the intruding barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, the head was not protected from contacts outside the vehicle. This indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head.
Passenger — The dummy's head was hit primarily by the window frame of the rear passenger door. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.
Manual cloth seats

The design movement known as Aestheticism sparked an international interest in sunflowers. Inspired partly by Oscar Wilde, the poet and self-proclaimed Aesthetic expert who could often be seen wearing or carrying a sunflower, fashionable Victorian ladies and gentlemen began to decorate their homes and gardens—and themselves—with sunflower images that ranged from the realistic to the abstract. Enjoy this collection of 1880s ephemera that highlights the sunflower craze.
Diecut "scraps" like these sunflowers, printed in Germany about 1880, were sold by the millions to girls who pasted them into elaborate scrapbooks.
Mrs. Hotchkiss, of Auburn, New York, used sunflowers to advertise her ladies' furnishing goods business about 1880.
Oscar Wilde, with sunflower boutonnière, and his devoted Aesthetic followers are thinly disguised on this Victorian trade card advertising Warner Brothers Coraline Corsets, "the latest Aesthetic craze." The popularity of sunflowers grew along with Wilde's fame.
The mannerisms of Aesthetic men in their "greenery-yallery" velvet suits are caricatured on these 1880s trade cards advertising a wallpaper business in Pennsylvania. "People are going 'Wilde' (not Oscar) over our Aesthetic designs in wall paper," proclaims the business's proprietor, W. M. Beck.
The Gilbert & Sullivan opera Patience, which debuted in London in 1881 and in New York later that year, inspired a set of cards with quotations from the libretto. This card reads: " Conceive me, if you can,
A matter-of-fact young man,
An alphabetical, arithmetical,
Every-day young man!"
Another quotation from Patience; this one refers to the fondness of Aesthetes for Japanese-inspired decor, including blue-and-white porcelain, and the paintings of pre-Raphaelite artists like Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who painted Paolo and Francesca da Rimini: "A Japanese young man,
A blue-and-white young man,
Francesca di Rimini, miminy, priminy,
Je-ne-sais quois young man."
Aesthetes like this lady with her Japanese fan were frequently satirized by cartoonist George du Maurier in Punch magazine.
An oversized sunflower is used on this 1880s trade card advertising Mrs. Potts Cold Handle Sad Irons, which makes fun of a popular Aesthetic turn of phrase:
"Isn't it too-too? I will buy two and you can buy two-too."
This 1880s trade card in the shape of an artist's palette demonstrates how sunflowers compliment the lady's olive green riding habit.
A young boy in his Little Lord Fauntleroy suit picks a sunflower for his little friend on this 1880s English Christmas card. Christmas cards of that period often featured themes that weren't related to the season.

Long-term Follow-up of HIV Infected Patients Identified During Early Infection

- How to Read a Study Record
This is a long-term follow-up study of people who are identified during acute or recent HIV infection and are being followed at clinical research sites associated with the Acute HIV Infection and Early Disease Research Program (AIEDRP).
Condition |
HIV Infections |
Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Acute HIV Infection and Early Disease Research Program (AIEDRP) CORE01 Database |
Enrollment: | 157 |
Study Start Date: | July 2003 |
Study Completion Date: | April 2007 |
AIEDRP was established to develop and evaluate data from studies of patients with acute or recent HIV infection. Long-term effects of antiretroviral therapies raise questions regarding the value and necessity of therapeutic interventions during acute and early HIV infection. Conventional randomized clinical trials are generally designed with finite endpoints; most patients who reach an endpoint or complete a protocol are no longer followed. As a result, long-term virologic, immunologic, and clinical outcome data are not available. This is particularly true for participants who fail therapy, require changes in treatment, or develop a treatment-limiting toxicity in a time-limited study.
This database study will establish a cohort of HIV infected individuals who are participating in HIV studies at AIEDRP sites and of HIV infected individuals who have chosen to defer therapy but agree to be followed by this study. The study will facilitate longitudinal and prospectively planned meta-analyses or cross-protocol analyses of AIEDRP studies by developing data collection guidelines, defining common research goals, and creating data templates. The primary aim is to determine the long-term virologic, immunologic, and clinical outcomes and complications for patients who were diagnosed during acute or early HIV infection.
Participants in this study will be followed for at least 5 years. Study visits will occur at Weeks 2, 4, and 12, and then every 12 weeks thereafter, through Week 96. After 2 years, study visits will occur every 24 weeks until the end of the study. Participants who start antiretroviral therapy at or after Week 2 will restart the study visit schedule. Study visits will include a medical interview, adherence questionnaire, and blood tests. Duplicate tests performed as part of another study will not be performed if the results of those tests are available.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 13 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria
- Documented acute or recent HIV infection
- Willing to allow study investigators access to and use of participant's medical information from other AIEDRP clinical trials
- Parent or guardian willing to provide informed consent, if applicable

This autumn, many US banks reported a respectable improvement in earnings for the third quarter: more than 80 percent of the largest beat the market's consensus forecasts, and a similar proportion showed year-on-year increases. The second quarter was equally impressive. So why have the stocks of large banks declined by more than 20 percent since the beginning of the third quarter—nearly three times more than the broader stock market—to the point where four out of five now trade below book value?
Many commentators blame Europe's sovereign-debt crisis and fears of a double-dip recession. But three additional factors also weigh heavily on investors: the new bank capital requirements introduced under the Basel III international-banking regulations, the impact of new US banking regulations responding to the financial crisis, the Dodd–Frank Act, and the unwinding of consumer debt. All three undermine banking's traditional business model.
By business model, we mean how banks actually operate—how work is done, the degree of automation, the pricing and design of products, and underlying compensation systems. In the market's view, the threats are so strong that it won't be enough to trim the sails, refocus investment, or cut costs a bit here and there. Our estimates show that if banks maintain their existing business models, their average return on equity (ROE) would fall to 7 percent by 2015, from its current level of 11 percent, against a cost of equity projected to be more than 9 percent.
Investors want to see the management teams of banks propose credible, far-reaching plans to close this gap. The message that investors are now sending—shares of banks will be valued at levels implying that they will not earn their cost of equity—has profound implications for a US economy dependent on a healthy banking system to support recovery and fuel growth.
Of the three threats, the most significant comes from the Basel III requirements, proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Without mitigating actions, they could reduce the ROE of some banks by as much as five percentage points. While the details are still being determined, we estimate that the US banking system will need an additional $500 billion in retained earnings or new equity to meet the new capital adequacy standards (assuming the current asset level and mix).
The second threat is the continuing deleveraging of consumers. The history of the past 100 years suggests that when excessive borrowing is a principal cause of a recession, consumers and businesses spend the next seven to eight years rebuilding their balance sheets. On that basis, we are in only year three of a much longer journey. There is little prospect of a quick return to the heady consumer-borrowing levels of the years immediately preceding the crisis—and some of that business may never return. In 2006, after all, bank revenues related to consumer credit exceeded their longer-term average by 25 percent.
Third, new US bank regulations resulting from the Dodd–Frank Act are also taking their toll on bank profits.1 1. The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law in July 2010, represents the most significant reform of banks and financial-services providers in the United States since the Great Depression. It establishes, among other regulations, new rules for how banks and insurers can invest capital, how hedge funds are regulated, and how financial-services firms report information. The reasons include an amendment that caps fees on payments, as well as a requirement to move many over-the-counter (OTC) businesses to clearing houses and to divest proprietary activities. The costs implicit in a new consumer oversight agency will probably make day-to-day operations more expensive and complex.
These forces of change will compel banks to reinvent four of their core banking businesses: retail branch banking, payments, mortgages, and fixed-income OTC trading.
Take the business model of core retail banking. Over the past decade, banks continued to invest in branches as a response to free checking and to the rapid growth in consumer borrowing. But regulations undermining the assumptions behind free checking and a significant reduction in consumer borrowing have called into question the entire retail model. In five years, branch banking will probably look fundamentally different as branch layouts, formats, and employee capabilities change. The use of the Internet and mobile devices will grow exponentially. Overall, the cost of serving each customer in a branch is likely to fall by one-third.
What's more, until investors see evidence of a similar transformation in cards, mortgages, and OTC trading operations, they will continue to lack confidence in the ability of banks to earn attractive rates of return. Banks must therefore squeeze the most out of every dollar of capital—something they largely neglected to do over the past decade, when it (and leverage) were widely available. They will come under increasing pressure from investors who want to know how capital is deployed, how effectively banks are using it, and how well compensation systems support the new objectives. Banks that historically geared rewards to the results of the income statement must now link them to risk-adjusted capital usage.
Accepted wisdom on the businesses banks should own is also being turned on its head. While most have started to think about which of their activities are noncore, this evaluation will have to be stricter in coming years. Many more businesses will be tagged as peripheral, speeding up divestitures and sales, as investors demand greater transparency on this issue, a rigorous review process, and evidence of solid execution in divestitures.
We estimate that by remaking all four key banking businesses, the industry could boost overall ROE by five to six percentage points. At this level, banks would be earning an ROE of 12 to 13 percent, comfortably above their cost of equity and right in line with their 50-year average. But valuations won't improve until investors have a clear understanding of the banks' plans to embrace the new business model implicit in this transformation.

Unprotected Work, Invisible Exploitation (Russian)
Jul 16 2012
Download right click "save as"
Trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation is commonly perceived as less invasive and damaging than trafficking for sexual exploitation. While in some cases this might be true, trafficking for domestic servitude is often just as devastating an experience, with long-term and serious consequences. This invisible exploitation must become a concern for all of us. It could be taking place next door, in our own social environment. This version of the report is in Russian.

eta. Thanks for finding Dai's and Ross' LP on YT. I came across Dai's LP on another site but decided to look for it on YT. Too happy to find him on YT and decided to do the links here before settling in to enjoy them, especially the ceremony which I missed. Alas, it wasn't his LP. Sorry. But enjoy anyways.
BTW, Bluebonnet, wasn't I right when I told you " Don't worry. Be happy." on the Practice thread?

I love Patrick's that Ex. number! It made me calm.
I watched Takahashi's LP and Miner's LP again. Both gave me better impression without constant freeze on my computer during the live coverage last night. Even though he skated this LP better in the earlier this season, Takahashi generally kept his charm and nuance in the whole program. Probably only Takahashi could skate this music. Good for him! After the LP, he said to his coach, "Oh, my god, so...(then I couldn't hear)" I guess he was so tired. Miner kept his attack all the way. But his program is as unmemorable as his face. He got to do something about it! Happy for him to win bronze!

Some comments.
1. All the Internet arguments about Patrick Chan this and Patrick Chan that -- a performance like this just washes all that off the beach.
2. I love Lori Nichol.
3. Quads? OK, whatever. But that 3Lz+3S sequence just blows my mind. (This wasn't the absolute most perfect execution, but still... )
4. The red patches going down the legs of Patrick's pants are fine, but the ones at the waist in front, no. (Other than that, not a bad performance).
Here is the Chan Clan band (a cartoon from the 1970s I think thats Xue Shen on the right).Originally Posted by Bluebonnet
I totally agree ... mostly #1, yes! #2 yes (and boy does she have a way with skaters who have a way with skating, I'm thinking Chan, Michelle, Shen/Zhao).... #3 YES, and boy, that lutz out of footwork and the hand clap thing is pretty darn good too (although it wasn't great here). 4. sorry, no no no. The only thing I dislike about Chan is the darn red swatches on his legs (ok, I don't like the waist front either, but those leg bandages just make me really, really crazy).
I have been working with them on their presentation skills. I got Alissa Czisny to come in and teach them how to smile no matter what happens, and I got Oksana Bauil to lead a seminar in how to emote out to the the top rows of the balcony.
But seriously, I think they are just trying to concentrate on doing their jobs, and maybe a little bit nervous to be out there in front of thousands of people and banks of TV cameras, not to mention their skating idols.
LOL ! You could also have Misha come in to show them how to use their arms faster when picking up stuffed animals and flowers! ETA: Duh! Sorry, you were talking about the 'flower girls' at the medal ceremony, not the others who pick everything up after a performance lol. Oops!

I was SO EXCITED for Ross last night! Thought he skated better than Adam... Adam is just so... I dunno... but I like Ross... I remember watching Ross when he was just a little guy in Novice and Juniors, so maybe that's why. More of a connection that way!
If anyone finds Misha Ge's video, let me know!! I really like him but I fell asleep and missed his performance!!
Thank you for posting all of those links! I re-watched Daisuke, and Adam. Very proud of both. Miner was a joy to watch, and seeing him on the podium made me happy. He will strive to be on the podium even more now. Chan was very fast, athletic and fluid. Daisuke made me forget this was a figure skating competition. He is an artist.
Some of my thoughts on this performance from Patrick:
As for everybody, it's hard, probably impossible, to be your best at this altitude, so I think Patrick did incredibly well last night, as did some others. It showed who were the best trained.
He was under a lot of pressure to win convincingly here and was admittedly more nervous than at any recent competition. One mistake in his SP induced all the critical attention and focus excluding any excellence from him and major errors from his rivals. This LP sort of quieted the nitpiking, which to me is very interesting. His win and the performances is accepted because he didn't make glaring mistakes. But he didn't complete a combo, leaving out a 2T, BV 1.30, which is insignificant at his level of total scores but important in case of very close competition, or for breaking his own record which requires perfection, meaning his very best. Last night he stayed clean and pretty by omitting one jump, albeit and luckily the least valued one in the program. People liked it or didn't notice it. But he can't afford to miss the big jumps by omitting, popping, or under-rotating them, even if he falls. It's the risk he and other top Men have to take. It takes guts. The system awards this risk but so many fans don't. To them, omitting, popping, and under-rotating, as well as wrong edge take off, are all rather acceptable, ignorable, and certainly preferable, but not falls, even with heavy penalties. Yet every skater falls because they take risks in order to improve and to excel. I agree with winning by doing less but pretty with low risk elements, but there is no way around the falling risks of big jumps.
On Takahashi:
He did extremely well in a situation where most faltered badly. He is indeed very well trained and should shut up those are down on his, gosh, ripe old age of 25. Kudos. His major and most damaging mistake last night was popping the 3A, usually his money jump. On later thoughts it concerns me because it couldn't be attributed to the altitude since it was near the beginning of the program, and he was strong and able to perform his usual magic through the program. It indicated mental issue he has to address before Worlds. His season has been up and down but greatly improved from last, especially with more and more success with his quads. Legitimately the biggest challenger to the current world champion as the most recent former champion.
On later thoughts also, I'm feeling really bad for Jeremy Ten as I forgot last night that 4CC was his chance to earn GP eligibility for next season since he has had no international competitions these two seasons due to injuries. It hurt him doubly bad when he bombed last night.
eta. Jackie Wong of Examiner has the 4CC videos nicely listed.
Adam asks for suggestions of ex numbers:
I have a question for you all... What program/song would you like me to skate at the #4cc exhibition gala?!

Adam's going to improvise? OK then, Unchained Melody! Cool!
SF: Two little responses to your post on Dai and Patrick:
--no need to apologize (so to speak) for the omitted 2T! I hate those dopy and fussy little jumps tacked onto a powerful man's program just to add a point. They're bad enough in ladies'! Go right ahead and call Patrick's program perfect.
--and as to why Dai missed the 3A - it's puzzling. I assumed it was related to the 4T as so often happens (though not generally with Dai) together with the altitude issues. I don't see what the location of the jump in the program has to do with the altitude effect. If there is less oxygen, there is less oxygen. That seemed to affect the athletes in various ways. JMO.
Last edited by Spun Silver; 02-11-2012 at 03:31 PM.
Spun Silver, it was neither an apology nor a criticism. I do mostly observations but others often put in their own interpretations and judgements on my observations. Patrick's program wasn't perfect or as near perfect as it seemed, again perfect meaning his very best, but I never expected that of him here or of anyone else. I am tremendously impressed by what he was able to put out last night.
As for Takahashi, from the little info into his very complex mind I've been lucky to come across, he seems to still have some limiting ideas about his quads. He explained his Nationals LP with a joke that he probably used up his luck with the successful 4T/3T in the SP. And the lack of luck actually continued into his next competition. He needs to be able to do his quads successfully in both programs and not have negative after effects. He is totally able to do that. I think it's some self doubt he has after a couple of years of injury reduced quad success that he will overcome soon. As for altitude, it actually helps with some skaters' jumps as reported. The adverse effect is on stamina, thus the longer a skater performs into his/her program, the worse the exhaustion and the need to suck air. I could almost smell the lactic acid from the computer stream last night!
Last edited by SkateFiguring; 02-11-2012 at 04:05 PM.
SF....I agree with you, too, that Chan's LP wasn't perfect - the double jump could have been there, and his lutz out of footwork was very tight and the clap he does didn't have the impact it could. But, I too can not get over what this guy can do and does do. wow.
I am also really impressed with Taka...he fights and performs no matter what. That popped axel was weird, maybe the timing was off for him. But, he does need that quad and he needs confidence in it as you say, and I do worry that it is that lack of confidence that is his worst enemy right now (of course, it could also just be the way he talks, as in other ways, he exudes confidence and is a fierce competitor); I hope he finds whatever it is that can help him land all the planned jumps well. It is incredible how close the BV's for Taka and Chan would be if the former had those jumps (and we could add Abbot and perhaps a few others here).
ETA I meant to also say that Dai's stamina really impressed me, given the altitude...suggests that guy is in great shape! And a question: did Patrick say his a$$ was burning while in the KnC? sounded like it

Mouth sores are small cuts or open ulcers that can occur anywhere in the mouth. The sores may be bright red or may have small white patches in the middle, and sometimes may bleed. Patients receiving radiation therapy to the head and neck area may develop mouth sores. Other causes include chemotherapy, infection, dehydration, poor mouth care, oxygen therapy, excessive use of alcohol and/or tobacco, and lack of protein in the diet.
There are a variety of things that you can do to prevent mouth sores, or to minimize pain or discomfort and promote healing should they occur:
Mouth sores should not be ignored, since they can cause a decrease intake of food and fluid, can be a source of infection, and can cause pain and discomfort. Call your doctor immediately if you have any one or more of the following:
To promote healing of mouth sores, your radiation oncologist or nurse may recommend that you rinse with special solutions.
If mouth pain is severe or interferes with eating, your radiation oncologist may prescribe a medication which temporarily numbs the mouth. In addition, if weight loss from poor intake of food and fluids is a concern, you may be referred to one of our nutritionists.
If necessary, your radiation oncologist may decide to delay further treatments until the mouth sores have healed.
If you have any questions about mouth sores, or need additional information and direction, ask your doctor or nurse.
