I've been reading the series and noticed that it mentioned a person called an Avox. An Avox is a person who's tongue has been cut off so they can't speak. My question is: If your voice comes from your vocal cords and not your tongue how come cutting off the tongue makes you unable to speak?

Recently, I've been having trouble on my double toe loop. My coach has switched me over to double toe walle. At first, I didn't like the change, in the air I felt like a stick trying to twist. But now it's gotten better. My coach says the timing of the double toe loop is very strict and you have to do it a certain way to get it right. He also says that the double toe walle has a unique timing and you can make it your own. Which one do you like better? Why or why not?

BQ: Do you think my coach will start double axel with me when I get my doubles consistent or sooner? I've seen some girls at my rink who don't have double flip and lutz consistent yet they have started double axel.

We are learning about rocks in science and I had a few questions that my teacher couldn't answer.

1. Is glass a rock or a mineral? (I heard somewhere it wasn't because it doesn't have a crystalline structure, but then, I thought, glass is made of sand which is made of crushed up rock which is made of minerals! Is glass considered a rock/mineral if it was made by nature. Ex. Lightning, not special heated ovens.)

2. Can something be a mineral and not be a rock? Can something be a rock but not a mineral?

3. Is there any equal to the diamond on the hardness scale?

Sorry, for so many questions, when it comes to science I love all the information but I hate that I can't get an answer to my questions sometimes and I keep asking. Why does this happen? and why does that happen? Rock confuse me.

Thank you in advance. :)

My double loops haven't been working lately. I don't know why. Well, I do, but I'm trying to fix it but I'm not having any luck. I'm twisting with my upper body rather than my lower body, I'm opening to early, and I'm rushing my take-off. The main problem why I can't land it, is because my right hip area hurts. I don't know why it hurts. Right above my thigh, (the area where the end of the underwear line usually is) hurts. It hurts when I move my leg. When I land, it hurts, when I move my leg anywhere, it hurts. My friend says, it's because of impact. Is it true? Maybe I'm doing something wrong that's affecting my muscles? I assumed it was just sore, but it's been going on for at least 5 days now. How do I treat it? Ice? Do you have any idea what it might be?

I'm only just going into teenager stage and I already have bags under my eyes. They're purple and you can see my veins a little bit. My mom has less visible bags than I do and she's 40 and sleeps less than 7 hours a day! Sure, I may not be getting my necessary 8 hours of sleep that I need but I can't sleep that long because I have too much homework at night and have to wake up early in the morning. During school, it doesn't bother me because my glasses cover them up. But when I'm doing sports without my glasses they look ugly. I don't want a name of a brand that conceals them, I just need any remedies or tips that would make my bags less noticeable or prevent them from getting even more noticeable. Thank you!

A month ago, my jumps were improving rapidly, now, it feels like they are stuck on an "okay" level. One of the jumps I have problems on is the double loop. I always open up too early and it's cheated. But on my other jumps, I stay in. Why do I do this? And I also have a lazy free leg. Most of the time, I fall not because the jump is cheated or the take off is wrong, but because I have a lazy left leg that is stuck in front and doesn't come back around for the landing. Are there any exercises that help with this? I've tried practicing off ice: ex: jump, jump, land or crossing my leg over and exiting out quickly. How do I get rid of this bad habit?

At crime scenes I always see white duct tape of a person's body. Why is that? What is it for?

That is his highest jump combination. I have a couple of questions. This guy is novice level, shouldn't he be a junior? If you are 14 and on a triple lutz, doesn't that really mean that you are really talented? Also, how old and what level do you need to be to compete in Junior Nationals, Junior Worlds, or Junior Olympics? Thanks in advance.

I would be in a higher level if it weren't for my free leg. I have all the jumps through double flip clean, I just can't land them! I try to get my free leg out: I use this acronym U.I.O (up in out) to get up in the air, pull in tight and get my free leg out. I always seem to fall with my leg stuck in front. My friends tease and say it's because of my good sit spin that I fall in a sit spin position. My flying camel has affected my axel before (because of it's around the corner jumping) so could it be possible that my sit spin has affected my landings? Are there any exercises to help me with this or any tips? Thank you!

So, here's the deal, my double loop and flip are almost consistent. My double lutz, not even close! My coach says that I get a LOT of height on my axel and that I usually over rotate it. One time when I pulled in halfway I over rotated the jump by a quarter. What would happen if I really pulled in, I might even land it but what I don't understand is my double lutz. It's cheated but my double axel is clean! How is this possible? Any tips to help my double axel when I work on it more often in the future? Also, do you think my coach will not let me work on double axel until I start getting my double loop and flip and lutz consistent?

I know that Ulrich Salchow invented the salchow

Cecilia Colledge invented the camel and the layback

Werner Rittburger invented the loop

Jackson Haines invented the sit (my favorite spin so I praise him)

Axel Paulsen invented the axel

But who was this genius that started the jumps by doing a waltz jump?

Marc Anthony?

Which foods help boost your immune system and make you better faster? One with nutrients or something. Also, which medicine brand do you recommend for coughing, soar throat, and stuffy nose?

Also, I've been blowing my nose a lot and now my nose hurts from the constant rubbing... is there anything for that?

What do you (if you are Jewish) believe in? Do you know what they believe in? Do they believe in the Bible or God?

I think they are a piece of sh!t! You should let your voice be as natural as you can! Even if you have a bad voice doesn't mean you shouldn't sing... just practice. Autotune is like lying to me because you lie about your voice. Autotune is just like ugh... What do you think?

fudge bag

salt bath

popadoodle

robot duck

Which one is your favorite?????

I want to know When was the first SUMMER olympics?

Any help appreciated... :)

Okay, so, I'm about to move soon and it's a new house, very big and just what we need. But, it's just a little bit more costly than we expected. And every time I ask my parents for money ($300) for a punch card my mom goes, *sighs* "Oh, okay..." and I get the feeling that my ice skating is to expensive. I know that I am lucky that my parents support me 100% on my skating but with other classes and ballet and a private school... I don't know how they can afford that, and I also talked to them about worrying and they said not to because they got it under control but I can't stop worrying about the expenses... any help is appreciated :)

This list: http://web.icenetwork.com/events/schedule.jsp?mode...

Please look at it: It only names the Long programs of all the Grand Prix competitions! Except for the Grand Prix Finals. Where are the Short programs, I search on NBC, Versus and Universal Sports and still can't find the short programs. Every time, when they begin the long, they say: Ex: "Akiko Suzuku looking for the win after her amazing short, Mao Asada looking to bounce back from a terrible season last year." I can't find the shorts! WHERE are they? If you know or have a list of the schedule please tell me. Thank you! All Answers appreciated!

Let's say that you missed your triple toe or made it into a double toe and you want to make those points up and you do an extra double axel and you land it. Do you...

Get the points for double axel just a deduction for an extra jump or

You get a deduction and no points for the double axel or

They just ignore the double axel completely

Now in the same situation, only you did the double axel and you fell do you...

Get two deductions: 1 for falling and 1 for an extra jump or

Get one deduction for falling or

They just ignore the jump overall

I always wondered this and I wanted to know. Also, as a little survey, I would like to know your name, age, level, and how many years or months you have skated THANKS
