	Figure skating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals, mixed couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other "moves" on the ice, often to music.
		Compulsory figures, in which skaters use their blades to draw circles, figure 8s, and similar shapes in ice, and are judged on the accuracy and clarity of the figures and the cleanness and exact placement of the various turns on the circles.
		Compulsory figures formerly accounted for up to 60% of the score in singles figure skating, which meant that skaters who could build up a big lead in figures could win competitions even if they were mediocre free skaters.

	Figure in Wood
		Figure may be defined as the pattern produced on a wood surface by annual growth layers, rays, and knots; by irregular coloration; and by deviations from straight, regular grain.
		Figure occurs in living trees primarily as variations or distortions in the vertical alignment of wood elements (grain) in either radial or tangential directions (or combinations of both) that result in common figure types known as stripe, blister, curl, wavy, and several variations that are described later in this report.
		Figure in these minerals is characterized by a moving light either in the form of a broad or narrow band or in the form of a "star." This phenomenon in gemstones is called “chatoyancy,” referring to the eye of a cat.

		The huge expense associated with becoming a figure skater (as much as $40,000 per year) forced officials to re-think their position on allowing amateur skaters to earn money while they are still training and competing.
		Since figure skating blades are ground in a concave shape, the only parts which actually make contact with the ice are the two outer edges of the bottom of each of the blades.
		The starting order for each event in a figure skating competition is determined by a lottery or "draw." Either the referee or chair of the competition conducts the process in the presence of other judges (closed draw) or in an open setting where the athletes actually draw a number from a pouch (open draw).

	Michael Crawford's Review of the Week
		The sculpting work on the figure overall is extremely nice, although comic based figures don't really afford much opportunity for much facial detail.
		While she had more articulation than many of the figures in the line, her sculpt really doesn't allow for it to be used particularly well.
		There's something about the style and look of the sculpt that reminds me of the old Toybiz figures of 5-7 years ago, when the quality of work wasn't as good as it is today.
