Cup of China - Ladies Free Skate - LIVE!!!!!!!!!!

[Mathman]

rain, thanks for your thoughtful reply, but I still maintain everything I stated in my posts (as always). And that goes for having more trust in a completely objective device attached to a skater's blade that will 'beep' when s/he underrotates (and/or two-foots a jump) by more than a 1/4; whereas a Technical Specialist is only human & therefore subject to "manipulation, cheating, coercion, national bias, lying, etc." A machine, OTOH, is not.

Do you remember the Russian Olympic fencer who got caught rigging his beeper so he could make it go off whenever he wanted, and record a "touch?" Also, all the problems they had with the touch pads to decide who won a swimming race? I guess they have those difficulties straightened out now.

***Note: perfect example of this is in tennis, where a machine 'beeps' when the ball goes out of bounds/outside the white line.

Really? Wow, that's interesting to know. Do you know why it wasn't working in Serena Williams' semifinal match in the U.S. Open, or Venus' Wimbleton match?

PS. Nadine, will you please turn on you "receipt of Personal Messages" thingy for a minute? Board business.

Got your message:

Lol, just turned it on, now come & get me Mathman!

Interesting & funny about that Russian Olympic Fencer that you mentioned......never knew that ........but, still it takes a while to get all the kinks out, like any new system, just like swimming & their touch pads. This is a positive. :agree:

Gotta go!

Peace & Love, Nadine

For some reason it still doesn't work. After Control Panel, Edit Options, check Enable Personal messaging, don't forget to scrol all the way down to the bottom of the page and click on Save changes, OK? Thanks. If you did this already, there is someting wrong with your account.

Thanks.

Thanks!

I had my Email Options from administrators & the like turned on, but not the 'Private Messaging' bit, as I am not a fan of that particular feature. But for you, Mathman, I will make an exception (lol). Now what have I done wrong...hmmm.....

Peace & Love, Nadine

:agree: Thanks, Nadine. I just sent you a PM. After you read it, you can turn it off again if you want.

Don't worry, that's still a pretty arresting gif, LOL. Is that you?

 

[Nadine]

Lol, no, that's not me (though I wish it was)!

It's my favorite female rocker, Courtney Love (no lie)!

Peace & Love, Nadine

P.S. My other gif, underneath my name, is also Courtney when she was a little girl.
