I've never really liked the originally released song, same with this cover. But I would have loved it if he used the Pentatonix version. It's one of my very favorites of theirs (go look it up, it gives me chills).

No start times in the email I received. It also says "schedule subject to change."

The gentleman who was coordinating tickets for a group (that I'm part of) received an email from someone at USFS about the junior tickets. They essentially said that the junior tickets included in the all-event package were "comped" because they didn't bother to figure out pricing for the junior...

I've been on an email chain with people who bought all-event tickets and are angry about the junior events being moved from the main arena. Someone mentioned that they e-mailed USFS to complain about this change. That prompted me to look for an email address to send an email to USFS as well. For...

I was really interested in watching practices for pairs at Nationals this year because it's so wide open. I think the team I liked the most was McBeath/Parkman. They seemed to have a good connection, and they looked really well matched. But I knew they had no chance of going to worlds. My...

That was stunning! I have really, really liked them since I first saw them in juniors. The music and performance here was so gorgeous! Can't wait to see them at Nationals.

RIP tWitch:wuzrobbedThis news completely shocked me; he seemed like the nicest, happiest person in the world. His dance with Alex is one I go back to a lot -- love it so much. So sad for Allison and their kids. I hope they find comfort and peace.

Thanks for this! I guess that's how it's judged. But it sure seems weird. And to answer your next comment, yes, there were definitely axels and salchows that were landed on a different foot. I remember Michael Chack doing something like a one foot axel into a 4S back in his first year in seniors.

I have a question regarding Artur Dmitriev (Jr.). In his short program, the protocols show that he did a 3Lz/3F which had a base value of 7.7 (the flip was downgraded). I remember watching that combo and being confused because I'm sure he landed the lutz on the wrong foot I guess so he could be...

When Denney/Frazier ended their long program at Nationals, Haven leaned down and touched the ice. I wondered to my friends if she was done, and we were thinking who Brandon could partner with but of course never thought about Alexa. Brandon is a really strong skater and could do well with Alexa...

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your conclusion that Kate has "imposed" the expectation that mothers everywhere are required to look picture picture hours after giving birth. Nor do I understand your conclusion that Kate "deeply damag[ed] womens' self esteem" because she left the hospital...

As far as I know, the only way you can get into practice sessions is with an all-event pass. If that's different, please let me know. I've often thought that arenas (or is it USFS?) should sell practice passes outside of tickets. It's really the practices that hook you.

I bake yams in the oven like potatoes and then peel and slice them and cook them on the stove in butter and brown sugar with pineapple (and I occasionally add pineapple juice to thin the brown sugar/butter mix so it doesn't burn). You cook them for a long time on low heat until the yams are...

Thanks for that explanation @gkelly. It was a spin (duh to me). That clears up my question. I was so excited that Nathan (or anyone for that matter) was actually doing a really good scratch spin (which almost nobody does anymore)! I'll have to go home and look at the spin again to see if I can...

I was going to try and find this in the rules, but there is too much to look through, and I'm sure there is somebody here who knows. On Nathan's Skate America free skate, for his final footwook sequence, it is listed as FcCoSp4V. I saw this on another protocol sheet somewhere (don't recall whose...
