I don't know where else to put this, but I came across it and had to share!

It just occurred to me...Vadim = Piglet???

Off topic but... Ava?

Very sadden by this news. My deepest condolences to Denis' family and friends.

my all time favourite summer beer is Mill Street Organic...I never heard of Lake of Bays! Will check them out. From this article: "Bottles of the Moonlight Kettle beers are available exclusively via Muskoka Brewery, either in the brewery retail store, or delivered to subscribers of the Moonlight Kettle Beer Club. Limited kegs of each beer are also released and featured on tap at select craft beer bars in Ontario." Also, it's a light pale ale.

Me too! I’m glad I’m visiting home (Toronto) tomorrow. I’ll find some of this for the Muskoka family cottage trip. Very apt! I’m guessing it’s a light citrusy lager with lots of carbonation! I think Mill Street is the better brewery.

Thanks! My mind is in knots right now (writing a final report at work) so I somehow missed that these images ARE from ISU.

I am still in the process of unscrambling my thoughts to write what I think about the men's assignments. Is it just me, or the isu website is taking A LONG time to load. I want to see the assignments for IdF, cause from the FS site, it seems like its a slated to be an USA and CAN throwdown. Editted: NM. I somehow missed that the image I saw earlier from actually from ISU...

WoW.

Pretty! Although my OCD self couldn't help by watch the the raw edges on the chiffon fabric during the program.... Hm, I'm starting to think the different "frills" on the FOI costumes are to test out ideas for his programs later.

Is this representative to what he eats on a regular basis (during training?). If so, I'm SO glad I don't have to prepare meals for him, that's a lot of effort for breakfast AND lunch (FYI: I have avocado and black beans on toast with a glass of milk for breakfast - I think it's quite good, from both a time and nutrition stand point). What if the non-Japanese food in question has tomatoes on/in it?

So I'm from Toronto (I moved away 3 years ago), so I'm happy to answer any questions about the city for this project! Anyways, it's not clear to me who the gift certificates, etc are for? Is it to give the staff in TCC an opportunity to hang out outside skating, or? I don't recommend the Science Center, the exhibits are quite outdated. The Toronto Zoo was fun when the pandas were there (they left earlier this year, I think). Also, yes, there are MANY Starbucks in Toronto. I think it would be really neat if the gift is a box full of chocolates/candies/sweets that's from the home countries of the forum members (kind of like the boxes of mixed chocolates that are on sale at most airport duty free shops)! This will take some coordination - but it seems like there's a handful of satellites going to upcoming events, so these can serve as opportunities to consolidate these items!

So in preparation for my job interview tomorrow (I mean, hm, technically today), I've been trying to remove lint from my black dress socks using a lint roller. And then it occurred to me, how does Yuzuru (perhaps more likely his okaasan) get ALL this black training gear this..lint free? Don't tell me its those detergent pods...!

My mind went beyond PG-13 when I read that...

Yep, that’s junk ppl are throwing around like confetti. ::sarcasm:: “Wait, a lady is moving countries for her career? What a ludicrous idea!” ::end sarcasm:: but honestly, this is not to add fuel to the fire, but whatever reason Janny has for the move, I’m going to respect her choice and hope the best for her!

All this reading about the PR game has me going, "You go girl!" Although I am concern about the potential impact the increase noise from the media, haters, possessive fans, etc have on the training environment at TCC. While ideally this shouldn't matter, but it will take energy (both mental and physical) to deal with it. Personally, my head hurts thinking about all the additional junk that will get thrown around, on top of what is out there from competitions/galas...etc...

Many thanks for suggesting this proxy - it was more hassle free than the one I was considering before (and for around the same cost)!

Happy 1st Anniversary PH! A big thanks to the admins, mods and fellow satellites for making this place so special!

According to this JT article, it's the BoBo Calorie mask (?). It's suppose to train your respiration muscles, which I can see why Yuzu uses one... I do research in air quality, so from my understanding, yes, CupidsBow is right - the masks, which have many layers of meshing, trap particulate matter (without knowing the materials of the mesh, my hunch is that gas pollutants such as ozone won't be trapped). I'm actually curious if Yuzu actually uses the masks for his asthma in Toronto as the air quality is prettyyyy good for a major city (for the record, I have pretty bad asthma too, but never had an attack when I'm back home in Toronto, but have attacks most recently when I visited Rome). Most of the pictures that I have seen him wearing one is when he's travelling, which makes sense too...since the air quality in airplanes are horrid!!!

If it's a summer camp/workshop, I think Misha G did a workshop with BOrser recently (maybe two years ago? AND I was pretty sure that both Javi and Yuzu were also training at the same time), so this situation (having another competitor training with you, other than Javi) isn't new. Granted, you can't compare Misha with Boyang in terms of their "competitiveness" with Yuzu. Whatever it is, I am sure that Brian will have a convo with Yuzu - if Yuzu's fine with me, so am I! Although, I'm glad that BOrser and team's talent are getting recognized!

If throwing is not allow, then just bring pots of honey. Then just wait for the POOH to come to YOU!
