Johnny Weir, left, and Evan Lysacek are so closely matched that they tied for first at the U.S. championships.

Johnny Weir described the style of his rival Evan Lysacek as “a little too fake for me.”

One skates with precision and adrenalized power, wants figure skating in the X Games and wears several days of stubble during competitions. the other adores skating’s operatic performances, is asked if his eyelashes are real and announces that they are.

Lysacek, 22, grew up outside Chicago wanting to be a hockey player like Chris Chelios, then a hardnosed defenseman for the Blackhawks. Lysacek gravitated to figure skating for its physical demands and daring, and he remains so loyal to those roots that he still chafes at his sport’s forced flamboyance. All things being equal, he would rather skate in sweat pants.

Most figure skating enthusiasts, Lysacek said, “think the definition of being dressy or dressing up is like having glitter all over you; to me that’s just such a joke.” He added that skating’s theater detracted from its athleticism: “Sometimes it’s a little frustrating when people are like, ‘It’s a show — you’re in a show, right?’ like Ice Capades. That’s the same thing to them.”

Lysacek would not mind being ice skating’s Tony Hawk. He has spoken with Raith and other officials about spinning off an ice-skating competition more like skateboarding’s halfpipe, where skaters focus only on jumps, flips and still-undiscovered tricks — with no music in the background, except maybe hard rock.

“There’s a whole dimension of skating that hasn’t been broken into,” Lysacek said over a post-training dinner last month. “Not just on a flat surface. something way crazier. Maybe more like aerial skiing.”

Upon hearing these ideas, Weir shuddered.

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: March 24, 2008A sports article on Tuesday about the rivalry between the elite figure skaters Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir misspelled the surname of a woman on the University of Michigan club team who admires Weir. she is Laura Sigler, not Signer.

Understand, he’s not nearly as fascinating as the whole Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan scandal in 1994, but Weir intrigues me.

That will probably upset the skating purists.

It’s not because Weir tries to be sexually ambiguous. Or because his reality show on the Sundance Channel – Be Good Johnny Weir – began on Jan. 18.

And it’s certainly not because he knows how to ham it up on the late-night TV talk show circuit.

Weir simply makes skating fun.

You never know what he’s going to say. Or do. Lord knows, most fans at Pacific Coliseum couldn’t wait to see what he was going to wear.

Would he wear real fur, like the fox he wore at last month’s U.S. Championships? Or would he opt for faux fur because he didn’t want to rile up the folks from PETA any more than he already has?

Admit it, you were just as intrigued as I was.

For the record, Weir wore a black one-piece outfit with a sheer top tied with pink laces – think corset – that exposed his chest and even covered his hands. A million or two glittering sequins completed the outfit, which had pink trim along his right arm and matching tassel on his left shoulder.

When Weir skates, even a novice like me can see the emotion and pleasure he derives from being the center of attention.

You sense his joy. His vibe.

You see his grace. His athleticism. His attitude.

Weir has invited you to watch him dance at his own party. most of us are too self-conscious to do that.

Not Weir. He’s liberated. Boundaries don’t exist for him.

“I actually had fun tonight. That’s something that I haven’t been able to do for a long time,” he said. “I showed my heart. I smiled. Tonight, I just wanted to take people on a journey with me.”

Weir put himself in position to contend for a medal with a score of 82.10. He’s in sixth place heading into Thursday night’s long program.

Weir, the 25th of 30 skaters to perform Tuesday, skated to Argentine pianist Raul di Blasio’s “I love You, I Hate You.”

When he finished, much of the audience stood and applauded – at least until the fans saw his score. then they booed.

“It’s going to be a cat fight in the long program,” he said, smiling. “I’m happy to be part of that.”

Of all the questions fans have for Weir, there’s only one he really needs to answer.

Is he still relevant?

The reality is that Weir hasn’t done much as a skater lately. and at 24, if he can’t somehow get it done at these Games, he can probably begin his professional career and start cashing some six-digit checks because he’s a marketing genius.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Dennis Rodman made millions being an original, though some say he copied Madonna’s approach. Rodman, though, also won championships.

Weir has failed to perform at his best on skating’s biggest stages.

Although he’s a three-time U.S. national champion, figure skaters are ultimately judged by their Olympic accomplishments.

Weir, a medal hopeful in the 2006 Turin Games, finished fifth. In other sports, we’d have no problem calling that choking.

While Weir remains an audience favorite, he’s not among the favorites to medal. Russia’s Evgeni Plushenko, a medalist in 2006, scored 90.85 and finished the night in first place.

Actually, Weir isn’t even the best U.S. skater anymore. Second-place Evan Lysacek (90.30) has surpassed him, but he’s not nearly as interesting.

That attribute will make Weir rich, but it won’t make him an Olympic champion.

The pleasures of a Henning Mankell book have much to do with Kurt Wallander, his crabby but appealing Swedish police inspector. The Man From Beijing, though, is a one-off, a complex and enormously satisfying thriller that features not Wallander but a female equivalent, Judge Birgitta Roslin. the massacre of 19 people in a remote snowbound village shocks all of Sweden, but no one more than Roslin, who has family ties to the place. Roslin is soon swept into a vast spiderwebbed story that spans two centuries and three continents, moving back and forth between Sweden, Beijing, and America. Flashbacks rarely work in mysteries, but here they do, thanks to Mankell’s sheer skill. This is hands down the best thriller I’ve read in five years. A

While all these bad news and sights about losing your home or real estate property, the worse is probably still has to come. When the dust will finally settle down we will see a great devastation financially and economically. Where most people talk about the doom and gloom of these events, I do not look only on the bad side of things. Where there is bad, there will be good thing that comes out of it.

The brighter side of all these government foreclosures and foreclosures bank owned is the investment part of it. Ordinary people and investors alike are in a buying mode as the prices of these properties are well below their market values. Simple economics tells you that buy low and sell high is the best thing that you can do. It is not rocket science. This is the opportunity for you to own or invest in real estate property.

If you have the money to sustain such investment, by all means do not let your money sleep under your pillows. Investing is all about timing, and time has come to start and look for that good if not excellent piece of investment. By doing this we will defeat the ugly side of these financial crisis we all staring at.

Finding these homes and properties is very easy and you do it 24 hours seven days a week. You can go online on the government sites to find HUD foreclosure homes and properties. They have huge listings of all real estate property and commercial properties too. Where your budget fits, they have it on their list. Government foreclosure properties are certainly for sale once all the process of foreclosure is done. The best thing is they will be well below their market value.

Once you have selected or found the house that you like to purchase, you should get yourself a real estate professional. The real estate agent or professional should be certified or authorized by HUD. You may need this real estate broker or agent to bid on your behalf when you want to buy a property from the HUD foreclosed properties. You can not directly bid. These bids can be submitted anytime any day of the week online.

If your bid is acceptable to HUD, normally it takes only forty eight hours and your real estate agent will be informed. You may leave the process of buying to your agent or real estate professional. Simply because they know than you do in terms of the different processes it has to go through.

Since it so easy to find these types of government foreclosures and foreclosures bank owned, it will not be difficult buy one as home or an investment.
