I'm just gonna come out and say it. Who thinks this is a light-skinned/dark-skinned thing. She is mixed and lighter, and they are not. (I mean to say the media's fascination with Lolo goes in part to this, and their lack of fascination with the two medal winners, goes to this as well).

except the russian gymnasts are all classically trained (and I believe the romanians are too). That's why they generally look so much more polished than the americans on floor and beam. I know it's sacrilegious to say so, but I preferred the russian and romanian gymnasts on many of the events over the americans.…

Yes, they started banning the belly beat when I was training in the 80s. you had to hit it at just the right point, but I would come home black and blue for days. Also, apparently—and not sure if there was any credence to this—but they were getting complaints/worries that it was damaging internal lady parts. So you…

all of them FTW

I saw a photograph of him on a website the day he won and immediately googled to see who the hell he was and confirm hotness. he's a specific type. he's hot.

He's from Bremerton, near Seattle. I will be stalking him. He's beyond adorable.

the picture on the right needs to be blown up bigger and not cropped.

I'm sorry, are you kidding? She was the favorite going in. She is the reigning world champion, and she was favored to win the AA gold. She has been training literally her entire life for this one moment to try and win the AA, and she was clearly stunned by being beaten by a 'fraction' of a point. no one, including the…

can't get these videos to play...

Am I the only one who thinks she looks awful. Not awful as in not pretty, but awful as in unwell. Like too skinny, and like there were maybe substances involved?

"Wagner seems like a nice guy; it doesn't seem fair, really to fault him for making money off of someone else's existence."

sorry to be annoying, but it's LOSE!-NOT LOOSE! Please! Everyone stop confusing them. Lose! You lose your family! Your pants are loose!

That's hilarious!

Maybe that's your experience, but I am pretty many people would disagree. I think you are missing the point. We live in a heterosexist society, where the heteronormative behavior of getting married and procreating is the standard by which everyone is still judged, even at this late stage. Don't believe me—turn on the…

Jesus. This is awfully defensive. You know what, when you are in your 30s and 40s, your own family treats you like a useless person if you are not procreating. So, I think it's understandable to want to feel like you are not alone.

they just need a real stylist. move along, nothing to see here folks.

I think my machine is at the highest point of Ram already. is there a way to upgrade beyond what i already have? I have 4gb of ram. have a early 2008 macbook pro.

Can someone —and I apologize if this has already been done—write a guide to smart clean install of Mac OSX? I want to wipe my slate clean, but I have about 20 3rd party applications that I need and I don't want to have to reinstall them all from scratch/find the passwords and registrations. However, I am aware that by…

This is just mean! I want it to be real!

I think it's been PS-ed but can't figure out which one is the one that is closer to the original. in the right picture, her neck is shorter, her eyebrows are stronger, and she looks more squat.
