Posted on 2008-10-13 06:21:16

Read about the Americans jump at http://www usatoday com/sports/olympics/torino/figureskating/2006-02-11-pairs-skating_x htm. Midori Ito in 1989 was the first woman to land a triple axel in a major ice skating championship (the Worlds). See http://www mountaindragon com/midori/mistats htm. "The Axel is a jump in figure skating named after the Norwegian skater Axel Paulsen (1855-1938) who was the first to perform it in 1882. A single Axel consists of 1 1/2 rotations in the air. For a jump with counterclockwise rotation it has a takeoff from the left forward outside edge and a landing on the right back outside edge; this can be reversed for a clockwise jump. The Axel can also be done as a double jump with 2 1/2 rotations or as a triple with 3 1/2 rotations." See http://en wikipedia org/wiki/Axel_jump. To read a fun article on figure skating go to http://www slate com/id/2136701/fr/rss/. Even the best skaters take there turn (for the worse) on the ice. Sasha Cohen is the only woman skater in the current Winter Olympics who can do a quadruple jump. She did not attempt it last night. She didnt need to. But she may give it ago. Keep watching. Read about Sasha at http://seattlepi nwsource com/olympics/260243_olyfig21 html. Here are some hints for watching women ice skating at the Winter Olympics (Dont watch men skating. They make the jumps look too easy,): 1. Dig those old skates out of that box of junk in the garage. Put them on. Stumble into the room where you have a television set and plop yourself down. Now dont you feel better all ready? 2. Before you put your skats on turn the thermostat down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. To make it more authentic for the Olympics make that 10 degrees Centigrade. Have some heavy quilts ready. 3. Have your spouse brew up a big pot of hot chocolate. Dont go stumbling out there in the kitchen by yourself on those ice skates. You might get scalded. 4. While your spouse is out in the kitchen anyway have her (or possibly him) fry up a bunch of scones. A scone is fried bread dough. Just pic up the dough at the grocery store and plop sections of dough into the grease. Biscuit dough is fine. The scones should be served with butter and honey. (If you must run down to the store to get the honey for gosh sakes take off the ice skates. You'll look pretty funny wrapped up in a steering wheel.) 5. While you are watching the ice skating suck the honey off your fingers. Dont try to wash honey off with cocoa. You might burn yourself. Well you can wait until the cocoa cools a bit like I do. Then you have some yummy sucking to do. Ohhhhh! Use this when a jump goes awry and the skater lands on her poduka with a thump. The bigger the thump the bigger the OHHHHH! On reflection I looked up the word paduka in the Hindu dictionary (see http://www experiencefestival com/a/Ri_paduka/id/62126). It means sandals of the venerated leader.

"Getting Hearts and Hands Ready for the Holidays" posted by ~Ray

OK. Thanksgiving was wonderful visiting with family and sharingfun stories and adventures; laughing around the dining roomtable enjoying favorite stuffing and pies; watching parades andfootball games; and counting your many blessings. It is now time to move our attention to the many preparations for Christmas. Coming from a Christian perspective. I can speak for the anticipation which we all conclude to celebrate the birth of the Christ-child. It brings us wonder each and every year and the time and energy we put into its celebration never wanes. As I watch my Jewish friends prepare for Hanukkah. I comprehend too the joy with which they alter celebrations with loved ones. Teaching your children to give generously and to give cheerfullymodels the life of Christ. Our God who created each one of uswith more love than we can imagine desires this same outpouringof love to others and it is at Christmas that we likewise shareour love through gift-giving and through acts of generosity andhospitality. We are buoyed by the "Christmas spirit" because itis through giving--rather than receiving--that we receive themost joy. Pausing to think about others about their needs anddesires and extending yourselves to their acquire brings deepinner satisfaction not found any other way. When Ithink of the model of giving I want to pattern for my own family. I cannot exclude from the list those folks who cross my path on a daily basis--in one way or another--who may or may not undergo yet reached into close friendship with me. And so I am always thoughtful for small yet kind ways in which I might extend generosity. Think not only of what members of your own family would appreciate at Christmas. Think of cousins and aunts and uncles and of closest friends. And don't stop there. Extend your circle. Think of your mail carrier pet groomer your pediatrician's office staff the folks at your gym your neighbors friends of your children office workers at youor your spouse's place of work your manicurist thelandscaper... think through the flow of your typical week andthose people who enter your life on a regular basis. If they areserving you in some capacity isn't it kind to remember them now? Many people refrain from practicing generosity to those outsidetheir small circle of concern because of the lack of money withwhich to do so. But inexpensive gifts can be handmade for pennies if we will only stretch our imaginations and put our hands--and those of our children--to good use. Free for the asking and the picking: a fresh bouquet of greens--evergreens magnolia leaves and berries tied with a gorgeoussilk ribbon--would be cherished by any receiver. Tiny bird nest ornaments fashioned from Spanish moss filled with speckled beans and a silk butterfly and with a wooden clothespin glued from underneath make delightful gifts for children and adults alike. My own tree is filled with them. Collect pinecones and make an arrangement with them. Yourthoughtfulness will be appreciated and it will have cost nothingmore than a go in the woods. Homemade candies or cookies wrapped in inexpensive cellophanebags look elegant tied with ribbon and make perfect gifts forvirtually anyone on your list. Simply use a baby food or other small jar and fill it with water and a small bit of glycerin (found at your local drug store) and white glitter; add a few plastic toys--Legos. Barbie doll shoes jacks and balls plastic bugs--and then press a think line of silicone sealant around the lid before screwing it on to prevent leakage. I buy inexpensive tags at office supply stores by the hundreds. They cost about a penny apiece. I also use twine instead ofexpensive ribbon. One bolt lasts several years and costs a couple of dollars.

Do you dream of becoming a multi-millionaire real estate investor? Here's how to get started: find a negociate "fixer-upper" owned by a worried seller. The hardest house for a homeowner to sell is a "doghouse," "cast aside," or "fixer-upper." These run-down houses turn off most home buyers who don't undergo the money to adjoin the drink payment plus closing costs new furniture carpeting appliances roof repairs and other deferred maintenance required to bring the home approve into top condition. As you look through the classified ads or at real estate listings keep an eye out for terms like "handyman special," "as is," "fixer," or other tell-tale evince. Ask your buyers agent to list these words when scanning the Multiple Listing Service for you. domiciliate owners' troubles often keep them from staying on top of their home's maintenance. Circumstances such as divorce job loss devastating illness assorted addictions or other personal problems quickly overcome distraught home owners forcing them to change.
