CUSTOMER REVIEW:
So beautiful!
I didn't get to see all of the Figure Skating during the 2006 Winter Olympics, but I did get to see Sasha Cohen's Free Skate. I remember being moved to tears by her performance--after her initial two falls, the rest of her program was spot-on gorgeous (especially her famous spiral sequence). She definitely earned her silver!

Since I've gotten this 2 DVD set, I've watched it nonstop. The pair skating is transcendently beautiful; the partners entwine themselves into breathtaking positions. The only annoying aspect is Button's interruptive and too often negative commentary.

I really want to see the movie, "Blades of Glory." I've heard it's hilarious!

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Poorly Constructed Video
I was very disappointed with this dvd. It was sloppily compiled with no information as to where each skater ranked or what skate they were performing before showing each piece. They told who the winners were upfront, there was absolutely no suspence and they left out many of the top performances. They should take a lesson from Bud Greenspan's videos where some background information is given and there is a build up to the final outcome. I think someone wanted to make some money and just half heartily slapped some performances together. Too bad...they didn't do justice to the many surprising and outstanding skating performances of this Olympics.

Paris Hilton, Deborah Norville, Vanna White and Jane Seymour will be at CHA discussing their passion for crafting. All that is missing now is Katie Holmes and Rosie O'Donell - both love scrapbooking and have filmed their craftrooms - very drool worthy. What do you think - does Paris scrap at the club?

Jeff Nagel continues to do a good job keeping an eye on Translink. But the continued barrage of complaint from Jim Houlahan about the shortage of buses does not get any clearer. The union leader continues to talk about ?the less than 1,100 standard buses in TransLink?s fleet? as though the artics, community shuttle and expres buses don?t count. 1,400 vehicles is the actual number though, as I have said before, I think we need to talk about FEU (forty foor equivalent units) just as they do with • Andrew Dice Clay, Dennise Rodman among the "celebrities" on Trump's next Appr...
One thing NBC programming chief Ben Silverman managed to get right last year was a reinvention of NBC's Donald Trump-led reality show the Apprentice as a showcase for B-list celebrities. So Trump-haters everywhere will be glad to see the network may have even found a way to screw that up in 2009, drafting a field of new Celebrity Apprentice contestants which haven't seen the B-list in a while. The roster, as revealed today by NBC: retired NBA star-turned-reality TV performer Dennis Rodman (l • Athens World Schools Newsletter - One Month to Go

Thinking back to that gold medal-winning experience, Oswalt remembers most vividly how players were more focused on winning instead of their individual stats.
