I recently heard from some of the competitors retruning from the 
Southwesterns competition held in Denver last week that the 
individuals competing in pre-juvenile did mostly single jumps.  In
fact it was flatly stated that since our girls went there with
doubles (nearly) ready but missed one or more, that it was better to
have gone with a program with clean single jumps only.

Now when I lived in the Bay Area (S.F.), at my rink the conventional
wisdom was that you didn't even begin competing Prelim unless you had
a Axel under your belt.  That WAS also the conventional wisdom here too.

The question here is should my daughter test for Prelim even though
she hasn't landed her Axel yet?  It does appear to be close - she is
all the way around on the ice and is landing it on the floor.  If she
does test for Prelim now - will she be at some disadvantage later on at
the national level assuming normal progression?

As a related but slightly bigger question - what is really required at
each of the levels at regionals, sectionals, and nationals?  I really
would like to know if I can judge what is really required by what is
going on in my region.  It would be a real shame to be "ready" for       
Midwesterns in a few years and then find out that it wasn't even close
to what was going on nationally.

How about the Zetrablade?  I've been wanting to try some more
ambitious manuevers on them, but I'm not sure if they can take it.
Anybody have any experience in breaking a pair of Zetrablades?
Sooner or later, I'll try stair-bashing, but not yet... :)

Date: 13 Nov 92 18:55:51 GMT
Organization: Cornell University, CS Dept., Ithaca, NY

I checked the FAQ and found nothing on the above subject, so I figured
I'd post an appeal for advice.

Having recently moved to an area with several ice rinks, I've decided
to get back into skating.  My wife and I would like to replace our old
skates with something decent.  Unfortunately, there's a paucity of
shops in the area that handle figure skates (particularly men's).

I'd appreciate any advice people might have on brands/models to look at
and/or avoid.  I'm particularly interested in finding good fitting, well
padded boots.  We both have narrow feet with high arches, so run-of-the-mill
skates tend to cause discomfort, blisters, etc.  The only shop that I've
found to date that handles figure skates in any volume, sells Risport, Don
Jackson, and Reidell.  They push the Risport heavily, although I'm not
sure that might not be profit margin motivated.  It looks like we'll have
to order whatever we want anyway, so I'd like to avoid making a costly
mistake if possible.

Any and all help is appreciated.

I should add that this is for new sports only. Existing Olympic sports are grandfathered
in, whether or not they meet the criteria.  As I understand the rules,
It doesn't matter if there are only 5 countries in the world where they

The Winecellar of Silene, 430 Stuart Street (across from the Hancock Tower),
carries Rafanelli.

Brookline Liquor Mart, 1320 Commonwealth Avenue in the Allston section of
Boston, carries Ridge, and I think also Calera.

A block up the street from Brookline Liquor Mart is Marty's Liquors, at the

Well, IMO it *is* entirely without merit for wine.  The beneficiaries
(parasites is probably a more accurate term) of the subsidies for wine growing
are the farmers who overproduce plonk grapes in the Midi.  The stuff they
produce is so terrible that nobody drinks it.  The EC buys the production up
at inflated prices and then distils it.  The real wine growers in France
produce high quality wines that are competitive on their own merit, without
need for any subsidies.

For reasons I don't quite understand, in the U.S., "cider" means the
freshly squeezed juice of apples.  (In other countries, "cider" is an
alcoholic product made by fermenting that juice, here called "hard
cider," and they call the fresh-pressed product "apple juice.")

"Apple juice," on the other hand, is used here to refer to apple cider 
that's been filtered and pasteurized, resulting in a clear drink with
a very different taste from the fresh "cider."  (I don't know what they
call that in other countries.)

As a follow-up, the negotiations between European and American officials
in Chicago collapsed on Tuesday with no agreement. The main sticking 
point at this time is exports of oleaginous products by the EC. The
Bush administration is apparently close to imposing said tariff. It
is still the case that the tariff is retaliatory in nature, and that 
the Bush administration has something of a commitment to free trade:
we may hope that the tariff will not stay long even if it is imposed.
But who knows?

    I heard on NPR this morning that the tariff on French and German wine
    would be 200%, but I got the distinct impression that this is a scare
    tactic designed to get the Europeans to compromise in the GATT dis-
    cussions.  Where that not the case, why would the US delay 1 to 2
    months until before enforcing the tariffs?  The stated reason is to
    allow ships "on the water" to get into US ports before the tariffs
    take effect and thus save confusion, but if the US were interested in
    maximum impact, why wait?

Funny you mention Ting. I stumbled across this stuff in an ethnic
food/convenience store right here in lil' old Raleigh, NC. Great stuff--
after the first sip, I wondered if I had any vodka around the house... 

While we're on the subject of "non-mainstream" soft drinks, this local
grocery store carries a soft drink called "Malta Goya". It's part of a
line of Spanish food products put out by the Goya company (paella mix,
etc.). Since the label explicitly states that the product contains "less
than .5 % alcohol", is suspect that it is a naturally carbonated malt
beverage. Has anyone tried this stuff? What does it taste like?

Yes, I'm sure the definition varies by country.  The alcoholic British cider
from the West Country is fine stuff, isn't it?  But in the US, "cider" means
non-alcoholic unless you say "hard cider".  I grew up in Michigan and have
fond memories of the fresh-pressed cider, not filtered, not sterilized, that
would ferment very nicely on its own to remove some of the sugar and give you
a little alcohol and just the right degree of tartness and bubbliness...  Yes,
I suppose "juice" is typically filtered, but I don't think this is a
well-established distinction in the US.

I'm not sure if this is what the original poster was asking, but I've always
wondered... regardless of what "apple cider" and "apple juice" *should* be,
what's the difference in the products sold under these names in the US by the
big food processors and supermarket chains?  I've always suspected that the
answer is "nothing" -- that it's the same insipid product with two different
labels on it.  I've never been able to detect a difference in appearance or
flavor.

Wow, you mean someone has actually found a way to grow wine?! It must
be a breath taking sight to see row upon row of cabernet bottles on the
vine! This opens up some fascinating questions, like if you cross cabernet
with pinot noir, will you gow a bottle with shoulders? I guess that depends
on whether shoulders is a recessive or dominent gene.

Now, if you could only grow beer in pots indoors during the winter....
