Great fit & price. Only downfall is the color does wear out.
This is a cheap and good pair of shoes. It comforts my feet when I walk.
Very disappointed in the product quality. I have normal feet for the size ordered and it seemed like the shoes had shrunk or felt as if they were not made well. Horrible product...!!!
At first, the shoe was really tight at the front, the bottom had this strange curve upwards that almost hurt. I walked around in it for a day & that went away. It was really tight on me at first, but they stretched out to a nice, form fitting size that's perfect for stage performances.

Looking for Headphones?
Start shoppingVideo: Beats by Dr. Dre Tour headphones
The Beats by Dr. Dre Tour are high-resolution earbud headphones with a snug, comfortable fit.
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to use these Beats Tour headphones. The sound from these little headphones was completely impressive to me. I like to listen to sort of techno dance high energy music and it really, really made a difference. Very, very full spectrum of sound. Rich bass and also these little nubs, the rubber nubs fit so perfectly into my ears, I could have had these in for hours.
These headphones come with five sizes of ear buds so you can find the ones that are right for your ears. These are particularly good for commuters who want to drown out outside noise.
There's a built-in remote on the wire to control the music on your iPod or iPhone. Because there's a microphone built-in as well you can also talk on your phone hands-free. And the cable is flat so it won't tangle like other wires.
If you need more information go to crutchfield.com/BeatsTour. If you buy from Crutchfield you'll get technical support for as long as you own your headphones, and if you need advice on buying headphones give us a call, e-mail, or chat with us online.

Bedford dog park advocates trying to find a path forward
BEDFORD - A proponent of the dog park that was cleared for town-owned land off Nashua Road said there's still a chance the facility could be built, despite what he sees as a deliberate effort by some members of the town council to bury the plan.
Fred Hurwitz, of the Friends of Bedford Canine Corner, said he will address the council at its meeting next week to argue that because the warrant article on the dog park proposal was so poorly written, it would be impossible for councilors to determine the intent of the voters who cast ballots. And because interpreting the will of the voters would be difficult if not impossible given the language of the warrant article, the town council could take its own steps to make the park a reality.
"I'll take my five minutes and tell them there's nothing you can really conclude from the (warrant article) question," Hurwitz said. "I don't expect they'll agree with me, but I'll nevertheless be there to raise the issue with them."
The issue that Hurwitz and other proponents of the dog park refer to deals with language in the warrant article that addressed how to pay for and maintain the dog park.
The warrant article read as follows: "Are you in favor of the construction of a dog park on Nashua Road in Bedford, with the cost of construction fully funded in advance by a private citizens group?" The warrant article then gave voters three options for maintaining and paying for the park. The first called for the park to be paid for through taxpayer-funded money, taken out of the town's operating budget; the second option called for private funding the dog park; while the third called for the park to be privately funded and maintained "subject to a lease" with the town. While the question asking voters whether they were in favor of constructing a dog park won 63 percent of the vote, option three, calling for the park to be funded and maintained subject to a lease won the most votes, 1,554, out of the three secondary options.
"That was a poorly written warrant article," said Town Councilor Jim Scanlon, a proponent of the dog park. "Nobody on that nonprofit committee (Friends of Bedford Canine Corner) will sign a lease and assume the liability, and the council knows that. I told that to the other councilors well over a year ago. There hasn't been anyone in six years stepping forward to offer to sign a lease. There are two chances of it happening - little or none. I said it publicly then, and I'll say it again now."
Scanlon said he and Hurwitz drafted their own warrant article language and presented it to the council with the idea that it would find its way onto the March 12 ballot.
"Three people on the council turned down the wording we had come up with, and they drafted their own language" said Hurwitz. "I think what they came up with was intentionally poorly worded. Unfortunately, it was a small contingent that basically manipulated the process."
Hurwitz said that even if the town council rejects his recommendation at next week's meeting, the Friends of the Bedford Canine Corner can still work to get a referendum question placed on the next election ballot.
"I guess it's really up to us," said Hurwitz. "If we go through the referendum process, we just have to get 5 percent of the voters in town to sign a petition, and then we get to control the wording of the referendum."

OGDENSBURG An Ogdensburg woman faces felony assault charges after she allegedly struck a state trooper in the head with a motorcycle helmet Saturday.
State police said they were called about 6 p.m. to a domestic dispute off Morley Park Drive, where they encountered Terri L. Devries, 29. Ms. Devries became combative, troopers said, and hit an officer with the helmet, causing a bruise.
Ms. Devries was arrested at 6:45 p.m. and charged with a felony count of assault with intent to cause physical injury with a weapon; criminal mischief, second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, all class A misdemeanors, and second-degree harassment, a violation.
She was arraigned in Oswegatchie Town Court and committed to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, in lieu of $15,000 bail or $30,000 bond.

Here's what others have to say...
Do not use on class one hitch
This rack won't work on class one hitch. Backcountry kindly exchanged this for a Thule class one rack for the same price and 2 day air.

Will this work with a 2011 4-Door Jeep Wrangler with the spare tire on back?
Ryan Hamilton
Probably not, but you can pick up hitch extenders at CAL Ranch or an auto parts store.
Gail Battles
Can the bike rack be locked on to the hitch...
Can the bike rack be locked on to the hitch so the whole thing cannot be stolen. I know the bike can be locked on the rack but it doesn't do much good if the whole thing can be taken.
Gone Fishing
Gail, you will want to buy a receiver lock. They go through the hitch and lock so they cannot be removed. These can be purchased about anywhere.
The problem with this rack is that even though the bottom piece can be locked to the hitch, the bottom is connected to the long bar piece by a standard bolt that can be removed with an allen key and a wrench. Your hitch receiver will be secure, meanwhile the rest of your rack and your bikes can be stolen quite easily.

yay, coming to my book shelf in 9/13...
Who would ever thought that Stephen King would return to The Shining? Well to wet our appetites further, the publisher of Doctor Sleep, Scribner, has put together a quick trailer for the book.
Synopsis: Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant "shining" power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep."
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.
Doctor Sleep arrives Sepetmber 24th, 2013.
I sincerely hope that Mr. King returns to his old ways. He has only had a couple of good reads (Cell, Under the Dome, and the Kennedy novel) since he finished up the Dark Tower.....
Between King and Koontz, my summer reading is packed. They crank out novels as fast as I can read them. I plan on picking up some other novels upon reference for camping and beach outings for change of pace. This one just caught my attention, so I will have to have a clean slate come September for it.
I read mostly thrillers, political thrillers, espionage stories and such; both fiction and non-fiction. Stories about military, combat, spies, that sort of thing. Tom Clancy is my favorite and recently I've gotten into Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. I never really got into King or any of the other horror novelists, which is interesting since I love horror movies. This one sounds intriguing. Might have to pick it up. Hopefully it'll be offered in a Kindle version.

She really is a cutie.
Well, if she ever wins another medal, somebody might just pay attention to her.
For some reason , I don't think it looks like her. Can it be a very, very young picture??
I am with Dee, I am questioning that is her. Is that Cupcake???
Here is a pic, and I look at her teeth - cheeks look the same. I guess there is the credibility of coming from her site - not sure???? I do think it is her 75% or more.
Also looks like she is "fuller" but does appear to be a dress she would wear. Cute smile and I LOVE the headband!!!!

You sure have a short memory. Cupcake won Skate America 2005 and Europeans 2006 silver. She finished 4th at Worlds, and many thought she should have won bronze instead of Sasha. With Irina on hiatus she is the top Russian lady, and maybe, just maybe, she will live up to the RFSF expectations.
Well,it comes from her site,and the photo was captioned "Elena Sokolova",albeit in the Cyrillic alphabet.And it came from a batch of recent photos,all at the same event,San Trope 2006.I guess she's had her hair in trademark bangs so often,we're not used to seeing her forehead.But it is Elena,circa 2006.

Well Cupcake's great when she's on, even though her spins and spirals put her at disadvantage in COP points. But if some people consider Sasha Cohen to be the queen of inconsistency, Sokolova beats her at it in a heartbeat. Sometimes, she closes in on the podium, other time she misses the top 10!
thanks for the pic and the invaluable resource as well...
and thanks to you I just doubled my collection of pics of her
Last edited by R.D.; 09-20-2006 at 09:50 PM.
I'm not used to seeing her without bangs. It looks like she's morphing into Roz Sumners.
She always has been a cutie!
Elena turns 27 in February. She is a year younger than Irina.

Indonesia beef prices soar amid sufficiency drive
Wednesday - 3/20/2013, 7:08pm EDT
Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Haji Hidayat makes his living selling one of Indonesia's most popular dishes: a tasty meatball soup known as bakso. Earlier this week, after 22 years he decided to take a break and leave the capital for his village, no longer able to afford to keep ladling the brothy goodness customers had come to expect from him.
The price of beef, the main ingredient in bakso, has hit a record high while other essential components -- garlic, shallots and chilies -- have also recently skyrocketed.
Beef now costs more than $10 a kilogram (2.2 pounds), up from around $6 a kilogram nine months ago. Meanwhile in the past month alone, sellers at a large traditional market in Jakarta report garlic has leaped three and half times to $7.20 a kilogram, while shallots increased more than fourfold to $4.60 and chilies more than tripled to $5.15.
"This is insane!" said Hidayat, who held out as long as he could after hiking the cost of a bowl of his steaming soup last month from 30 cents to $1 to offset rising beef prices. "If we subtract the seasoning, our buyers don't like our meatball soup. If we raise the price, they can't afford to buy, so I'd better close my stall until the price returns to normal."
Other desperate bakso sellers, who typically hawk their dish from rolling food carts, ignited a firestorm late last year after opting to cut corners by mixing pork into their meatballs -- a forbidden food for most in the world's most populous Muslim country.
Analysts say the high cost of beef is an inevitable side-effect of Indonesia's drive to achieve self-sufficiency in the meat as well as corn, rice, sugar and soybeans by 2014, a policy sparked by the global food crisis that hurt tens of millions in developing countries in 2007 and 2008. Garlic, shallots and chilies are not among those commodities, but the surge in their prices, pinned on market manipulation by importers and flooding, underline other problems in the food industry that complicate efforts to keep prices affordable.
The spiraling costs have sparked intense debate in the media and online, prompting President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to demand that the trade and agriculture ministries stop pointing fingers and fix the surging prices.
Political scandal has eclipsed Indonesia's largest Islamic party after the leader was arrested two months ago and accused of accepting bribes to secure a government contract for a beef importer. A watchdog organization has also accused garlic and shallot importers of creating a cartel by holding shipments of the pungent cloves hostage on the dock while prices climbed.
Last year, Indonesia slashed import quotas for live cattle by more than a third and boxed beef by nearly two thirds as part of its self-sufficiency plan, but its domestic production has not been high enough to fill the gap. Further import reductions are planned this year. The government says imported beef now accounts for only 14.5 percent of national consumption, down from 53 percent in 2010 with imports reduced from 220,000 tons to an expected 80,000 tons this year.
The self-sufficiency policy got significant political impetus in 2011 when Australia temporarily banned exports of live cattle to Indonesia following public outcry over a video showing animals bellowing in pain and slowly bleeding to death at an Indonesian slaughterhouse. Then in 2012, Indonesia banned U.S. beef imports following one reported case of mad cow disease. Washington has accused Indonesia of protectionism and in January filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization.
Vice Agriculture Minister Rusman Heriawan said the government is pressing ahead with its agenda even as he acknowledged it had overestimated the ability of Indonesia's smallholder cattle farmers, many of whom have just three or four cows, to supply the market.
"Unfortunately, there are too many distortions which are not taken into account, causing meat prices to soar so high," he said.
"We need time to correct all the deficiencies that exist." People in Jakarta, who eat six times more beef than the national average, should "learn to realize self-sufficiency," he said.
In a report last year, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development called Indonesia's self-sufficiency goal "misplaced." Its archipelago geography, unreliable transport and lack of industrial farming mean it is ill equipped to engineer a significant increase in local food production. The OECD warned of rising prices that would ultimately harm the country's poor majority.
Andrzej Kwiecinski, senior agricultural policy analyst at the organization and the report's main author, said beef is possibly the least challenging of the commodities in which Indonesia hopes to achieve self-sufficiency. Rice and corn production were already close to meeting local demand while sugar and soybean production is years away from that.

In Righteous Dopefiend: Homelessness, Addiction and Poverty in Urban America, anthropologist Philippe Bourgois and photographer-ethnographer Jeff Schonberg document the daily lives of homeless drug users, drawing upon more than a decade of fieldwork they conducted among a community of heroin injectors and crack smokers who survive on the streets of San Francisco's former industrial neighborhoods. About 40 black and white photographs are interwoven with edited transcriptions of tape recorded conversations, fieldwork notes, and critical analysis to explore the intimate experience of homelessness and addiction. Revealing the social survival mechanisms and perspectives of this marginalized "community of addicted bodies," the exhibition also sheds light on the often unintended consequences of public policies that can exacerbate the suffering faced by street-based drug users in America.
The research for Righteous Dopefiend was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The Penn Center for Public Health Initiatives is co-sponsor of this exhibition as a part of their 2009/2010 series, "Creative Action: The Arts in Public Health," and Penn's Arts and the City programming initiative.

PHILADELPHIA, PA—This summer, adventurous children ages 7 through 13 can experience a day camp that takes them through time and across continents at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology on Penn's campus in Philadelphia.
"Anthropologists in the Making," organized by the Education Department of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, runs eight theme-oriented one-week sessions from June 21 through August 13, 2010. Camp details and a downloadable registration form are available online: www.penn.museum/camp.html.
Children may attend one or more of the weekly-themed programs. This year's themes are:
Philadelphia, PA, March 2010—The January 12, 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince, Haiti and the surrounding region is over, but the recovery and rebuilding process is just beginning.
Penn Museum's International Classroom program is joining the effort, raising awareness and money for Haiti with an educational benefit evening, Help for Haiti: Beyond Media Coverage, Friday, March 19, 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Admission to the fundraising event, which offers guests a special opportunity to learn more about the history, culture, and traditions of Haiti, is $10 per person, with all proceeds going to the Haitian relief efforts. Guests can enjoy music and dance performances by La Salle College's Neo-African Drums 'n Dance group and Temple University's Haitian Student Organization, and see Haitian artifacts from the Museum's collection not usually on display.

PHILADELPHIA -Roar into the New Year with the power and courage of a Tiger! The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology presents the 29th annual Chinese New Year Celebration, in the honor of the Year of the Tiger, Saturday, January 23, 2010, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm! Music and dance performances, healing and martial arts demonstrations, games, workshops, children's activities, and much more - topped off with the traditional Chinese Lion Dance grand finale - are all part of the spectacular day-long celebration. The celebration is free with Museum admission donation ($10 general admission; $7 seniors; $6 students with ID and children [6-17]; free for children under 6, Museum members and PennCard holders).
Music, dance and special performances bring the sights, sounds, and wonders of China to the Museum galleries and auditoriums. Students from Chinese for Families, a multicultural Chinese language school offering Mandarin, martial arts, and dance classes, perform traditional Chinese dances, a martial arts demonstration, an original play, and present a Chinese New Year movie in Rainey Auditorium from 11:30 am until 12:00 pm. Then, Chinese for Families hosts a Tiger Craft Workshop in the Mosaic Gallery where children can try their hands at creating traditional tiger hats. The symbolism and power of the hats are thought to protect children from evil spirits.
In the early 1950s, then-Penn Museum Director Froelich Rainey created a popular television show-What in the World-featuring a rotating panel of Museum scholars and celebrities who examined individual artifacts from the Museum's vast collections, puzzling out where they came from and how they would have been used. The national television show, a pioneer project in the field of museum education at the dawn of the telecommunications age, lasted for several seasons.
As one of five "Out of Print" cultural partners participating in the Philagrafika 2010 international contemporary art festival, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology hosted New York-based artist Pablo Helguera. After exploring the Museum and its collections, he developed a project that tapped into the rich archival resources of the institution. The result is What in the World, a provocative new installation that features a recreated set from the famous television program, Museum artifacts, and a series of videos designed to provide "an unauthorized biography" of the 123-year-old Penn Museum. The videos will also be posted as a "season" on YouTube after the installation's opening.

As always delivery was fast, packaged well and in good shape. Luggage is excellent. The large case is larger than most, fully lined with zippered pockets in all three sizes, heavy zippers for easy use and long lasting durability. The telescoping pull handles are well built, strong and sturdy. The spinner wheels make it effortless to move in every direction. Puling two bags with my old luggage was a chore, often one bag tipping over, especially waiting in line and having to move them a few feet at a time; just a hassle. The Travelers Choice luggage has eliminated that forever. The pictures of the luggage gives the apprarence of a high gloss finish, but it is more of a satin finish which is very nice. As soon at the silver or red colors are available I'm buying another set for my girlfriend, she loved the ease of moving the large case. I have been pricing luggage for a while now and nothing I liked compares to the beauty, the ease of using and the price of Travelers Choice, a truly outstanding value.........as usual with Overstock I'm delighted. I would reccommend this luggage to anyone who wants the ease of moving well built and stylish luggage while traveling.
My husband and I were looking for a new luggage set for our cruise and was looking for something durable that would last a long time since we travel a lot , as well as something that looked different. I spent countless hours online researching different styles and types of luggage and wanted something that was a good value. I must have read many reviews on the products I researched. I read almost all the positive and negative reviews on this product, but finally decided to buy this 3 piece luggage set from overstock.com, because it has the best deal. I was concerned about it not being strong enough for our frequent travels, but my husband is literially travelling once a week (he works for boeing as a consultant). He suggested that he would test out the quality of the luggage when he travels. If the quality is not good, we can then contact overstock.com to return the whole set. My husband came home two days ago using the biggest suitcase. He loaded the suitcase with all his samples and it performed well. It was very light and the material is superb. We will keep this luggage set and would highly recommend it.
I thought buying hard shell luggage was the way to go so I figured i would shell out some extra cash and buy something that would last for a while. The luggage looks great but as for the duribility, it's horrible. The second time i used it the largest of the bags got 2 very large cracks and now i can't even use it anymore. I contacted the company about the 6 year warranty that is advertised with the luggage and no one will contact me back.
I recently purchased this luggage for an overseas trip i have this summer to Europe. Luckily i was able to use it a lot sooner! This spring break i went to Wisconsin. DFW to Milwaukee. The middle sized piece of luggage took a beating and held up well. One of the corners was dented in. When i got to my destination, i opened it up and popped it out. Perfect! You could kind of tell it had been hit or scuffed there, but hey its luggage. Mine also went though one bag inspection by TSA. So far so good. Zippers are great and the wheels glide so easy. It is very easy to spot your luggage, mine is the silver, when they come off the baggage claim. There is a small zip pocket inside for personals or bath items. The top half inside is also zipped which is a great place for shirts since there lighter than jeans or slacks. Overall i was impressed. I read about 50 reviews on this and decided to take the plunge. Great decision! PS. Let them air out when you get them or put a bounce sheet inside. Smell a little wierd. Like plastic or something.
I was extremely surprised at how quickly I received the luggage from overstock and the luggage looked great. I unzipped it and let it air out for about a day or two before I began packing and it was fine. I was a bit concerned about the weight issue since I have had to pay extra at the airport many times in the past for my luggage being overweight. This is no longer an issue with this luggage. If anything I was underweight! The true test was how durable it was going through the airlines. My siste and I flew to JFK to see my brother some time ago. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the luggage from baggage claim with not even a scratch on it! Since the initial trip, we have used the luggage two more times with absolutely no issues, dents, marks or scratches. It's so easy to locate your luggage on the baggage claim carousel, as it's not your typical black luggage that everyone else has. Another feature that I love is the spinner wheels. I have never had any luggage with those and now I can't live without them! It makes it so much more convenient and easier to maneuver around.
Got this with a good deal on Black Friday.
sturdy, roomy, easy rolling luggage-much appreciated on our vacation. It was lightweight and nice looking and we really liked it.
As a travel professional I can say this is great luggage for the money. Sturdy and you are not just another black bag!!
Great luggage for college student.
Sturdy luggage with great room and sections inside for sorting contents, and wheels plus retractable handle make maneuvering a hectic airport manageable.

Japan Should back off , and America should stop throwing its weight around on Chinese affairs.
Look at when America joined in the fray between Taiwain-China Disputes. Taiwan was a Chinese expansion, exactly like Alaska is to the States. China had owned Taiwan for so long & America only stuck its nose cause they wanted to Break down China as a World Power piece by piece and to gain Taiwan as a puppet from where if a War breaks out between China and the States, America Could use Taiwan to place Deterrents/Turrets/Missiles stationed outside of China just like how Russia used Cuba against the States. Now this island is the issue, and after all the humiliation and bullying China has suffered at the hands of European/Western/Japan Hands all these decades, i believe China shouldnt have to cede back a territory that belongs to them even if they dont really need it. I Wouldnt be Surprised if the America is fighting for Japan to gain this island so that Japan would be indebted to them and let them use the island as a Strategic Naval Station area to Deter China just like How Taiwan Became. Everyone always complains about China whether its cause they got the highest pollution or their not democratic or so many things to list, But they fail to mention the story behind the story itself. Such as an example is China is the highest polluter Currently, But ur only taking in to account the years its been polluting? what about the years the western/european powers have been polluting way before? So after a century of Everyone polluting their way till their Economically sound to lower pollution, they decide to cap pollution levels to countries that are late in developments in comparison to themselves? Another example Taiwan fights for democracy, wants to separate from China, Everyone reports on how Taiwan should be separate but yet their all failing to admit that its a Chinese Populated place which originated from China itself and had been owned by China for along time.Hong Kong was only given back after decades of governing by Britain, but why wasn't Hong Kong given back to China as soon as the World was at peace after WW2? Cause European/America only decides something is right A) They Financially profit or B) They Politically Profit from their actions.

Haha, this time Patrick Chan actually deserved to win! It was really out of the ordinary that Daisuke would fall twice, and once on a non-jump. Too bad Nobu fell too. I hate Florent Amodio's crotch-grabbing.
Haha, this time Patrick Chan actually deserved to win! It was really out of the ordinary that Daisuke would fall twice, and once on a non-jump. Too bad Nobu fell too. I hate Florent Amodio's crotch-grabbing.
I guess I'm not surprised. Dai was injured and Oda has to totally be clean or the other skaters (Taka, Chan etc) have to self implode for him to win. He just doesn't have the presence to beat these guys if he's not clean.
Yeah Contesti isn't a medal threat at Worlds, at least not this season when the field is so deep. He may have a shot to medal at Euros though depending on how Joubert and Brezina are skating by then.
Even though Verner didn't skate his best here, that's his 3rd solid FS of the season which is encouraging. Also he got +GOE on both his 3a which is good news because I know sometimes that jump is a bit skary for him. I think he has a very good chance of winning Euros this year, or at least medaling there, and he might not even need to quad to do it if he can keep skating consistently in the LP.
Amodio was also not his best but was quite good in the FS for the 3rd time this season and also looks poised to medal going into Europeans. I also think at Euros he will get a bit of a PCS boost because he will be one of the best skaters in that field and won't be competing against skaters as strong as most of the ones here there.
Even though the 2 Europeans were 5th and 6th, I think it was impressive they both made the final and actually think they are in a good position going into Euros. They both skated pretty well here, but they know they can do better which will probably push them to up the training intensity going into Euros and be ready to lay it all down there. I mean do others agree? Or do you think Verner and Amodio placing 5th and 6th here will hurt them and serve as a red flag going into Euros?

This is wonderful news.
Is there any doubt now that a clean Chan will not be beaten ?
Chan deserved to win this time. But Score? Just a complete joke. PCS 87, haha . Chan's performance never touches my heart as Dai's or Jeremy's do.
Why it is not reflected in PCS? Can we get old " Artistic Impression" back?
BTW, it is clear that Dai's injury is much more severe than he admits. I can see it from his skating this time. So hard to watch.
I hope he takes care of himself well so that he can skate at
Sorry, my last sentence should have said, so that he can skate at the nationals in perfect condition.
Protocols say that Takahashi tried to go for a quad flip like he did at worlds. He was trying to do something to get back up in the standings.
I hear what you're saying, but what touches one person's heart can be quite different from what touches another's. Very subjective.
Also, I don't have any nostalgia for 6.0. It was more intuitive for the audience, but the subjectivity created incredible scope for manipulation. In ice dance, remember when placements in the CD (which were generally based on prior rankings, dues paid, etc.) dictated placements in all of the remaining competition segments, regardless of how anyone executed on the day?
In singles, it was a little better, since errors are more obvious to the general audience, but artistic impression marks were routinely used to prop up skaters on the basis of their reputation (and other factors). The new judging system will continue to be refined over time, but 6.0 was a mess.
Just think - what if the Internet and chat boards like this one had made worldwide mass communication between fans possible back in the heyday of 6.0? There would have been a firestorm of outrage over many of the results.
Also, regarding Chan's marks - whether or not he touches a particular person's heart (he may touch another's), his programs are jam-packed with moves that allow him to accumulate points under the marking system. And it's tough to do...level 4 spins and footwork, jumps with difficult entrances, transitions galore...not everyone can pull that off (not even him, so he makes his share of errors too). But I don't think people should blame him for understanding the marking system, packing a lot of difficulty into his programs and scoring well as a result.
A lot of people seem really frustrated by the fact that Chan's posted near record breaking scores. I thought it was worth mentioning that...
1. Quad toes are now worth 1.3 points MORE than they were when Takahashi posted his score.
2. Triple Axels are worth 1 point more.
3. That despite the loss of the level-step sequence, the raising of GOE's for the choreographed step sequence means that it's potentially a HUGE points earner, regardless.
So Chan's working with about a five point advantage. Then mention the fact that judges are clearly more comfortable operating within the higher regions of the PCS (three teams scoring tens last year) and the general fact that points trend upwards in general, this skate would probably be a good 8-10 points behind Takahashi's were they compared on the same system/playing field.
I wish there was a signature option again, I would put this in mine right away, voila.take a goat for this. First thing my sister-who is more casual viewer- noticed once is that fs audience is rather snobbish comparing to the gymnastics one.Mocking someone for his preferences in a sport is far from sophisticated attitude in my book.
I watched the vids again on youtube, Dai is Mr Personality for me, and demands attention like none. Falls and all, he is unique, I dont feel he is checking the boxes just. Kozuka is just a joy to watch, he skates free and he is so special in the way he moves. I also enjoned Amodio's Lp, while it is nothing like last season the boy has presence and flies there. He is my fav to win euros. I probably enjoy his skating cause Iam shallow and uneducuted by the einstein's standars of posters here.
I want to see the scientifc survey for the idiocity that has been implied here many times that female audience in figure skating is satisfied with pelevic thrusts and all that, and appreciates skates like Dai's or Joubs sp for example for this reason and their programs are worthy to collect the girl audience screams, and male audience are all for the rachmaninofs and gershwins.
I agree. And I think it is a good thing their GPF participation and it only adds, they had a decent skate against the top of world right now that is Chan, Oda, Dai and Kozuka. I mean these 4 skaters it was clear in Gp series they are the frontrunners. I think also VErner might win euros this year. And Amodio seems more consistent under Morozov coaching, he has done huge steps in that aspect since last season, and the whole touring in the off season did miracles to his confidence, and judges seem to like him, he is a crowd favorite also, I m sure at Euros he will rock the arena. Besides the whole field is not so deep, apart from Joubert, Brezina, Tomas and Amodio it is only Fernandez and Schults, I dont think Contesti, KVDP and Brentsson are contenders for podium unless there is a massive bombing. And i dont know who Russia will sent, I guess Arthur and who else? Voronov or Borodulin health issues I dont know them.

Opaque Solid Nylon Trouser Socks
Also found in:
♠ Foot Traffic ♠ Lightweight ♠ Knee Highs ♠ St Paddy Socks ♠ Tube Style ♠ Trouser Socks ♠ Solid ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Opaque
Sturdy nylon knee highs in basic shades for work and play.
The colors that are 90% nylon are 17 inches from the toe to the top of the cuff, except for the Fuchsia, which are 14 inches from end to end, unstretched.
The colors that are 80% microfiber nylon are about 15 inches from the toe to the top of the cuff, unstretched.
See Fiber Content, below, for a list of which colors are what fibers.
The stretch on these varies by color. We've found that though the body of the sock has comfortable stretch up to 19 inches, the top band doesn't do well over 16 inches.
These are tube style and should fit most feet.
The Brown and Navy currently have a narrower cuff than pictured, we will update our images soon.
Additional Info:
Foot Traffic calls these "semi opaque", which technically means 30-40 denier, but we think these are a bit more opaque than that. They hide leg hair and freckles, but darker tattoos may show, particularly on more stretched areas.
Made in Taiwan, Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.
Fiber Content:
90% nylon, 10% spandex.
Brown, Ivory, Kelly, Navy and Purple are 80% microfiber nylon, 20% spandex.
The Black and Grey come in both 90% nylon, 10% spandex or 80% microfiber nylon, 20% spandex. We don't have control over which is in stock, but if you want to know what is available, contact us before ordering.
Machine wash cold, delicate cycle, line dry.Label: Foot Traffic
up to what size is this product (One Size) opaque trouser socks
do these knee socks come in children sizes. my large foot is just a 2 1/2 in childrens. like a 6-8 yr old child size foot
Hi, I'm interested in these opaque solid nylon trouser socks in white and was wondering if they would fit me - size 3X. Thank-you!
How do these compare to WeLoveColors' kneehighs? The material of the WLC ones I got came as a surprise, so I would like to check before trying again. How sheer/opaque and thin/thick are these in comparison, do you know?
I hope you enjoy your business as much as it makes some of us feel like home.

- 350g self-raising flour, plus more for dusting
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 85g butter, cut into cubes
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 175ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- squeeze lemon juice (see Know-how below)
- beaten egg, to glaze
- jam and clotted cream, to serve

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Tip the flour into a large bowl with the salt and baking powder, then mix. Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the sugar.
- Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla and lemon juice, then set aside for a moment. Put a baking sheet in the oven.
- Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife – it will seem pretty wet at first. Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it's a little smoother. Pat into a round about 4cm deep.
- Take a 5cm cutter (smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. By this point you'll probably need to press what's left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then carefully place onto the hot baking tray.
- Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream. If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/fan140C/gas 3) for a few mins to refresh.

These rose perfectly and had a good texture (though they needed an extra 5 minutes in the oven as others have noted). However, my family didn't like the flavour at all. The vanilla extract gave them a strangely artificial aftertaste. Personally I think they needed a bit more sugar too. I wouldn't make these again, I'll stick to the buttermilk recipes in future.

Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality. |
