I guess I'm the only one who likes the two tone color of the new skin suit?

No. You're not alone stfan. I like them a lot! I think they're great. Classy (as opposed to the poor Canadian "Cheerios" suits) and clean lines. I might have liked a retrograde color fade from the light to the dark...but they didn't ask me. Imagine that!

Rapidshare is just a place that I put up files so others can download to their computers.

Anyway, here is the link to download the Apolo screensaver that I have.

Once the file is saved onto your computer, double click on the icon and it will install itself.

thanks mellie

His facebook was updated 40 minutes ago...says he is sick as a dog. I wonder if he needs a private duty nurse?

Sometimes I forget he is human lol. Get well soon Apolo!

From Facebook:

Apolo Anton Ohno Feeling a hair better. Maybe even 2? Tomorrow the goal is to feel about 4 hair's better.

For those who get Universal Sports on TV, they will be airing an hour-long broadcast of the WC in Beijing at the following times (EST):

Thurs: 1 AM and 9 PM
Fri: 1 AM and 11 PM

I'm not sure if these are all the same program repeated, or if each airing is dedicated to separate days of competition, though I am betting it is the former.

Jordan Malone - 3rd but qualifies in the mens 1500 quarterfinals..

[bubblebuttsbabe]

MM, I think you posted the results in the wrong board. ;]

[geri]

i pasted the addy on the wrong boards also...lol. i am so tired i just posted it where i had been reading, thinking it was WC 2. i wish they would just show this on tv over here.
that addy works fine and it will be on there tomorrow at the same time.

[musicalmom]

I can't believe I did that BBB - wondered where they went...when tired my eyes aren't always sharp ! and Geri,
I understand....guess that just makes us fallible humans

I was doing too many mulitples in my multi tasking! Trying to get the races on Chinese TV too and couldn't find the right station.

Thank heavens for posters like BBB and No1 ....they keep us accurately informed. ;D

Will try to do better tonight..
Have a great Saturday.
Musical Mom

[geri]

I am so glad you did the same thing....lol. I had decided it was safer for me just to continue lurking. i was watching the race, watching the scoreboard, ordering 2 nintendo dsi's for my granddaughters in the UK so i was on amazon UK at the same time also which put me in 3 different time zones with 2 different days...lol.

[bubblebuttsbabe]

LOL. sorry to put you guys on blast.
