In early 2010, NATO acquired the first phase of an initial capability to protect Alliance deployed forces against ballistic missile threats. At the November 2010 NATO Summit in Lisbon, NATO's leaders decided to develop a ballistic missile defence (BMD) capability to pursue its core task of collective defence. To this end, they decided that the scope of the current Active Layered Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence (ALTBMD) programme's command, control and communication capabilities will be expanded beyond the capability to protect forces to also include NATO European populations and territory. In this context, the US European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) and other possible national contributions were welcomed as a valuable national contribution to the NATO ballistic missile defence architecture.
NATO's work on BMD started in the early 1990s in response to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems, including missiles. The initial focus was on protecting deployed NATO troops (Theatre Missile Defence), but work was expanded in 2002 to include considerations of the protection of population centres and territory (Territorial Missile Defence).

Query Performance Tuning in Microsoft Analysis Services: Part 1
In this two-part article by Chris Webb, we will cover query performance tuning, including how to design aggregations and partitions and how to write efficient MDX. The first part will cover performance-specific design features, along with the concepts of partitions and aggregations.
One of the main reasons for building Analysis Services cubes as part of a BI solution is because it should mean you get better query performance than if you were querying your relational database directly. While it's certainly the case that Analysis Services is very fast it would be naive to think that all of our queries, however complex, will return in seconds without any tuning being necessary. This article will describe the steps you'll need to go through in order to ensure your cube is as responsive as possible.Read Query Performance Tuning in Microsoft Analysis Services: Part 1 in full
Query Performance Tuning in Microsoft Analysis Services: Part 2
In the previous part of the article by Chris Webb, we covered performance-specific design features such as partitions and aggregations. In this part, we will cover MDX calculation performance and caching. We'll see how important caching is to overall query performance.Read Query Performance Tuning in Microsoft Analysis Services: Part 2 in full
Date and Calendar Module in Drupal 5: Part 1
This is the first part of a two-part article series by Marjorie Roswell. All of the recipes in this article require CCK and the date field (also Views, and Views UI), so we won't take the space to list them in every ingredient list. In this two-part article, we create a wide variety of views, mostly from a single workshop content type. Several of the views implement style plug-ins, which appear as new options in the Views Type drop-down. If you are still working on the 1.x versions of Date, be sure to check out Recipe 44, Upgrade Date and Calendar Modules which will be discussed in the next part.Read Date and Calendar Module in Drupal 5: Part 1 in full
Debugging REST Web Services
Learning how to figure out why things are going wrong is one of the key aspects of developing software. We call it debugging. While dealing with REST services and clients, things can go wrong and it would help a great deal to know how to find out what is causing the problems.
In this article by Samisa Abeysinghe, we will look into the techniques such as message capturing and analyzing to get to know if things are going fine, and if not, what sort of problems are causing trouble.Read Debugging REST Web Services in full

Feeds in Facebook Applications
Feeds are a very important part of Facebook Applications. They are used to publish notifications and news in a user's profile. So, feeds are the best way to keep the friends of the users up-to-date about the user's current activities. Feeds are also a great way to publicize your applications, if you know what I mean.
In this article by Dr. Mark Alexander Bain and Hasin Hayder, we will go into the details of managing feeds (both news feed and mini feed) using Facebook REST APIs. The following sections will help you understand what the major differences between these two types of feed are, and how to use them properly in your application.Read Feeds in Facebook Applications in full

just wore one out ( It just stopped heating up ???) and reordered another one. used it for a year or so cleaning apartments. Does so much; removes spots from carpets, paint from cabinet edges, cleans sinks, toilets tubs etc. you name it ...it does it. Only problem I had was that the nozzles and attachments wouldn"t stay on after a while so I just used it by itself. This time I'm ordering the extended warranty.

This a great item! It works great and is easy to use.
7/18/2010 - RTP - Carrollton, GA
This is a terrific cleaner. It heats quickly. I've used it to remove spots from an oriental rug and the baseboard area of installed carpet. I use it to clean and sterilize my hummingbird feeders instead of bleach and detergent and they now start feeding right away. Even used it to remove worn paint from front panel of the stove to reveal stainless steel for a much improved appearance.

Either you admire Gold's jumping ability, speed, power and potential or you don't [QUOTE]
Right on, her strengths are quite obvious , no need to make excuses if you don't like her. She also performed the most technically proficient US ladies' program in over 20 years, so that's something else to like, or maybe get even a bit excited about
I like Liza and Zijun too, and while I agree they are more musical than Gracie, they are much weaker skaters . She makes them look like they are relatively standing still, she's stronger and she covers the rink so much better than they do. That really makes an impression live, while hands and facial gestures really show up more on TV. Which is part of the reason why judges (international and US) give her decent PCS even when she makes mistakes. Really, it's not the 'Gold for Gold' PR machine, her 'All-American' looks, or some vast conspiracy of collusion. For me Adelina is a total package, she's got the skating skills, the jumps, the posture, the artistry and a great need to be voidy and inventive too. But she's a bit of a headcase too. So everybody has something to work on.

|Jerome M. Havel, 86
|Written by TRF Times
Springfield, Mo. - Jerome "Jerry" Matthew Havel, 86, of Springfield, Mo., died on Monday, November 1, 2004 at St. John's Hospital in Springfield.
Funeral services were held on Thursday, November 4 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
Jerome was born during a blizzard on February 1, 1918 in Thief River Falls to John E. and Gertrude L. Havel.
After growing up in Minnesota, Jerry moved to New Jersey, where he lived for 54 years, before moving to Springfield in 1995. He married Doris L. Fuess. of Bloomfield, N.J., in 1946.
He was employed as an electronic engineer for the U.S. Army until his retirement in 1979. While he was working full-time and raising a family, Jerry attended night school for 16 years, earning his bachelor's degree in mathematics (high honors) from Rutgers University and master's degree in electrical engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University. His sacrifices to attend college made a lasting impression on his family concerning the importance of an education.
Jerry had many interests. He was a licensed amateur radio ("ham") operator (W2RRX) for 70 years and was active in many emergency communications networks. Additionally, he was a Boy Scout leader and greatly enjoyed travel, skiing and tennis. He played trumpet as a young man and maintained a lifelong appreciation of music. Jerry was active in his church, participating in the choir, Knights of Columbus (fourth degree) and men's club.
Jerry is survived by his wife; one brother, Cyril (Lillian) of Burlington, Wis.; one sister, Midge (Lee) Schultz of Easton; two sons, Richard (Judy) of Stafford, Va., and John (Susan) of Springfield; and two grandchildren.

Summary of the Novel
Two plots run through the book To Kill a Mockingbird. The first is the mystery of the Radley Place and its inhabitant Boo Radley. The children work throughout the first part of the novel to bring him out or to see him inside the house.
The second plot is that of the accusation of Thomas Robinson as a rapist, his trial, and his conviction. Even though Tom is convicted, Mr. Robert Ewell and Mayella are not believed; Robert Ewell is determined to seek revenge on Atticus.
When Bob Ewell seeks to kill Jem and Scout, Boo Radley hears the commotion and manages to kill Ewell before he can harm the children further. The sheriff refuses to tell the story of Boo Radley to the community; he protects him and his privacy.
Estimated Reading Time
The total reading time for the 281-page book should be about 9 1/2 hours. Reading the book according to the natural chapter breaks is the best approach.

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is today reminding anyone who submits a paper self assessment to return their forms to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) by the end of October or face a minimum £100 fine, even if no tax is owed.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of Taxation said: 'HMRC is adamant that the fine will apply whether of not any tax is owed and even if any outstanding tax is paid by the end of January. It is hugely important that you make sure your return is filed with HMRC by the end of the month.
'In the current economic climate, when finances are tight for many individuals and businesses, the last thing you need is to be facing a fine. I would strongly advise anyone who is unsure of the information they are submitting to seek the advice of a qualified accountant.'
The deadline for those who submit their self assessment electronically is 31 January.

This week on our Love List we share the artwork that's inspiring us, the accessories we can't wait to get our hands on and the sights and sounds we're loving right now.
Fed up scrambling for my phone every time I want to know the time. Finding this watch strangely attractive.
This week I'm loving Zaiba Jabbar's new music video featuring Jaime Winston: ART DEPARTMENT - We Call Love (feat. Soul Clap & Osunlade)
Completely in awe of Elise Morin's artwork - this landscape is made from over 60,000 CDs.
These glasses by Shwood are crafted from - you guessed it - wood, and make getting in touch with nature a stylish affair.Ā
I love when a simple activity like watching a film becomes an environmentally-aware adventure. Inspired by the 'Fridge Mountain' that occupied London's 2012 Olympic site, the last chance to catch 'Films on Fridges' is this weekend.
How badly do I want this Junya Watanabe jacket/cardigan hybrid. Luckily for my credit card it is already sold out.
Love this eerie portrait from Chad Wys' 'Nocturne' series.
The untamed beauty of this Gisele Ganne's 'Bird of Prey' necklace makes me look forward to winter.Ā
These Christian Louboutin loafers tick all the right boxes when it comes to casual shoes that still make a design statement.
I love the cheekiness of this vintage-inspired illustration by Zoe Austin.

Julia Hetta
Swedish photographer Julia Hetta creates romantic images with a disturbingly haunting undertone. Her models appear like the ghosts who drift into scene on a horror film, roaming helplessly to find what it is they are searching for.Ā
I love the shot of the girl dressed in white reaching for a vase of water, the drenched model contains such an intense emotion that she begins to resemble a subject from a Renaissance painting. In the photos taken in front of a black screen, Julia keeps one of her subjects prominent, while the other fades slightly into the background as if they are a visiting spirit.Ā
Her images leave me feeling confused as to wether to be compelled by their innocence or chilled by their darkness.

Masaki Mizuno
Japanese artist Masaki Mizuno's images are strangely enticing to me. They have the typical dimensions of a fashion illustration but there's something about the glassy eyes of his protagonists that give a slightly ghostly feel to his work.
With the intense detail and laser-cut lines I expected these images to be digitally created, but Masaki prides himself on the fact that all his work is hand painted with acrylic, air-brush or rollers. From his whole portfolio, the undercurrent of all his work is of a level of sensuality almost verging on eroticism created by girls that appear both elusive and mysterious.
Ultimately I think his work resonates because it's so personal. His work is about discovery and is inspired by the thinkers that provoke questions and disturb social belief. And with influences like that you know whatever he creates is going to be something unique.

Ben Weller
Ben Weller's lens is perfectly tuned to the world of editorial. Regardless of the wardrobe featured his imagery is affirmatively luxe. His pictures are rich in texture with a preference for a more refined minimal set where the clothes are the central focus.
Photos veer from 'New Kids on the Block' casual cool to fisherman who would not be out of place in William Richard Green's SS11 collection. A picnic with a natural, raw Swedish flair reminds me of our retro inspired black and white Summer Issue.
I adore Weller's interpretation of aquatic adventures in the Marni SS11 vein, which he captures in a vintage 1930's fashion. I love how he approaches tailored androgyny in a distinctly Nordic manner. And I long to be transported into his disco bloodbath dress-up decadence scenes, which exemplify Studio 54 grandeur.Ā

Jocelyn Hobbie
I'm totally in love with the concealed decadence of Jocelyn Hobbie's women and her lush, nearly grotesque style. Sultry and virginal at the same time, the characters she depicts are hyper-stylized fashionistas that combine pin-up tattoos with luxurious, ultra-feminine dresses and impeccable, vintage hair.
You can't really see but you instantly feel the thick silky fabrics, the soft, shiny fur and exquisite lace her subjects wear, you come to smell their paralyzing perfume; it's clear that Jocelyn knows a thing or two about excess and hedonism.ĀĀ Inspired by the elitism and greed of the Jazz Age, the hyper-realism of the 50's lesbian pulp fiction books and the unparalleled glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood, her motifs are aesthetically appealing and emotionally unsettling at the same time.
Impeccably dressed but stiff, with either crazed or empty eyes, Jocelyn's women are an ode to the vulgarity of popular female representations in history.

Augusta Atla
I first encountered Augusta Atla's work during her recent residency in Athens. While initially dragged down to the Danish Institute for her performance by a (trusted) friend, my reaction to what I experienced there amidst a climate of national seclusion, lethargy and irrationality was instantly one of engagement, acceptance and surrender.ĀĀ
Sharp and well-informed observations on feminine stereotypes inspired by anthropological methods and executed in a style which perfectly accentuated the prickly aesthetic of her very personal, almost intrusive work, I was instantly captivated by the importance she attributed to emotional and emotive responses.ĀĀ
An artist that works between different mediums (e.g. performance, video-work, installation, photo-work, collage, costume, lithography), Augusta also has an eye for uncomfortably familiar garments and props which are meant to ridicule the idea of "femininity", a strong component of any creation baring her signature.

Maren Esdar
Studying as both a stylist and illustrator in London and Germany, Maren Esdar composes her wonderful illustrations by hand and on the computer. She creates an air of surrealism in her unique collages by incorporating odd objects into clothing, whilst the distortion of the model's faces make them appear slightly abstract.
In her recent exhibition labelled 'Phobia', Maren Esdar transforms a woman's fear into wonderful items of clothing. When taking a quick glance at these illustrations, they appear delicate yet surreal - it's only when you study them closer that you discover their true bizarreness. For example the image entitled 'arachnophobia'Ā showcases an innocent women wearing a sculptured black dress but on further inspection you see how it is actually constructed from various parts of a spider.
I love her ability to see the beauty within something which could be considered ugly. Working for top magazines including W, Esquire and Vogue her clear references to literature, nature and philosophy allow me to view her work more as narrations than illustrations.

Natalie Rogns°y
Norwegian conceptual artist Natalie Rogns°y reminds me of rock icon Patti Smith in the sense that both employ a directness in their art that hits you right in the face. Both also remind me of the irreplaceable value of absolute simplicity: a mere "thank you" or "you mean the world to me" can touch you deeper than the most exquisite and complex of poems.
I mention this because the first artwork of hers I ever encountered was an installation entitled "If You Move I'll Fall I'm Leaning On You" (2009), which exceptionally incorporated text and perfectly set the tone for her more minimalist creations that followed.
Nowadays Natalie is experimenting with the aesthetic and emotional aspects of found materials, especially clothes and fabrics. The way they are folded, lit, ripped and even 'dumped' in her photos, sculptures and installations is fascinating to me, because it brings them to life, it provides them with a mood, a prevailing emotion and a back story. They often appear sad, abandoned or abused, like the old, stained shirt of that special someone you discover in a dusty cupboard when moving out or the ripped scarf you find on the bathroom floor after a drunken night out.Ā
ĀI think what I love most about her work is that without much fuss it manages to highlight the sentimental value of clothing which is irrevocably linked to the spirit of their initial owner like very few material things ever are.ĀĀ

Giselle Behrens
Giselle Behrens has definitely established herself as a photographer with a preference for the surreal, often dabbling in creating animated photographic images in a Reed + Radar fashion.Ā
In her 'La Femenina' series she creates worlds that remind you of the fantastical, harsh landscape of Julie Taymor's The Tempest and the decadent absurdity of a David LaChapelle image. Her protagonists are reminiscent of Greek goddesses, both docile and brazen at once. She approaches fashion editorial from a Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland angle. Using New York City as her playground she unleashes a Godzilla model, making the towering buildings seem like model sets. The subject positions herself atop and scales buildings in a part Ann Darrow, part King Kong manner.
Her refusal to adhere to the parameters of reality is why I find myself so enthralled with Giselle's works.Ā

Ami Sioux
''Each time I photograph someone, I see it as sort of a dance,'' says Ami Sioux, which partly explains why the elements of rock, folk and punk that strongly characterize her own personality and taste are so prevalent in all her work, be it a fashion editorial for Nylon, an ad campaign for Nike or a portrait for the New York Times.
It could easily be seen as a weakness or a lack of flexibility in the world of commercial fashion, but I'm really fond of her ever-present rawness and trademark snapshot aesthetic. Particularly when it comes to her women, I like how strong and aware of themselves they are, represented as seductresses who know how to both exaggerate and treasure their independence.Ā
Born in California, she grew up in a family of Jehovah's Witnesses who frowned on liberal education, joined art school aged 19 and later moved through New York, Berlin and Paris; to call her free-spirited would be fitting for sure. And free-spirited is also her photographic vision, blended with a modern, off-beat style which stems from her aesthetic influences that range from William Klein to Syd Barrett. Unsurprisingly, she's also a musician who shoots weird, static videos that simultaneously intrigue and repulse with their rawness.

Pauline De Rothschild
There are times when an obscure name, face or place inexplicably accompany you throughout the years, submerged in your memory. Pauline Fairfax Potter, later known as Baroness Pauline De Rothschild, has been for me that fey ghost.
I stumbled upon her name on several curiously unrelated occasions. The latest being a retrospective Balenciaga exhibit, set in 'The Young' San Francisco, and initially in an outdated Vogue issue stashed away between my mother's archived journals. Flicking through the pages, Pauline De Rothschild appeared under a long list of fashion icons from past decades, between countless black and white shots of extravagantly dressed, influential women. Contoured by arched brows, her piercing gaze beguiled me with its unsullied frankness, and permanently etched itself in my mind.
When further investigating my subject, I discovered a modern-age Cinderella story (she even had two step sisters and ended her tale as a chatelaine of a world famous Bordeaux castle/winery) which surpassed any expectations I may have had. A direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Pocahontas on her mothers' side and related to a renowned line of bishop ancestry on her father's, Pauline spent her childhood in varying degrees of extreme poverty and the highest riches at the whim of her flamboyant father's spending.
Carried by misfortune and occasional opulence, she grew up travelling between New York, Paris, Biarritz, and Baltimore. On the way to becoming one of the iconic style icons of the early 20th century, mentioned in the same breath as the duchess of Windsor and Princess Grace of Monaco, she didn't merely assist the establishment of emerging designers of that era (such as Balenciaga and Saint Laurent). Pauline also offered her aesthetic vision to a more practical outlet, working for her friend, Elsa Schiaparelli's couture house and later opening her own firm with Louise Macy, a former editor of Harper's Bazaar.
She was also an avid costume designer, whose creations can be seen in museums today. An esteemed writer, her fashion and design articles were often published in Vogue. Pauline's style was a refreshing combination of classic feminine couturier pieces, exemplified by a timeless funnel-shape stiff satin Balenciaga gown, and more eccentric Avant-garde garments that included masculine tailoring.
My favourite pieces are perhaps her thigh-high suede riding boots. These might seem untypical of her but I believe they reflect the audacious twists this lady successfully introduced to elegance and class.Ā

Studio Sober AW 11/12
An interesting name is 'Studio Sober' but after picking apart their Autumn/Winter collection it completely makes sense. The Dutch brand who pledge to deliver quality workmanship with their timeless collections really are sobering, but in the best possible way.
It may be age or it may be the over-exposure to so many throw-away fashion trends but I find myself in a bit of a dither. Since I can remember I've always been blown away by designers that create quirky, in your face and over the top ensembles and in turn I've been in awe of everyday people that pull it off, but I really think that it's reached breaking point. I feel like it's more of a competition now than a form of self expression, perhaps we have the media and celebrities to thank for that?
I don't want to sound bitter and miserable, but I feel like I need a detox, and Studio Sober are definitely inspiring me. Their clothes are "subtle and elegant, and simultaneously represents modern luxury." I'm absolutely obsessed with the suit, blood red shirt and olive green leather gloves combo; it's the definition of pure sophistication. The earth tones are so rich and luxurious that I can imagine living in them, getting back to basics and listening to Beatles records.

Sigurd Grunberger
On a recent trip to Paris I found myself looking to kill some time and began to flick through an issue of Novembre magazine. I instantly stopped when i reached an editorial labelled 'losing my faith'. The models in these images seemed to be brimming with emotion, and I began to feel almost pained by their sadness.
When i reached the end I instinctively scanned the pages to find the name of the photographer who made me feel such empathy. I then found myself on the website of Copenhagen's Sigurd Gr³nberger where the rest of his work lived up to the same high standard. Every story he has shot seems to be as gripping as the last - among my favourites is one labelled 'meet me in the dark'.
These images manage to steer clear of being simple and slightly boring, as typical studio shots can sometimes be. I found myself captivated by the energy of this young girl, and the shots of her sometimes even appear self-taken. These images look so personal that I could almost believe Sigurd and the model to be the best of friends. With work like his I find myself growing impatient to find out what he will produce next.Ā

Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo
I've never been a huge lover of digital based art, possibly because of my love of all things old. I get satisfaction out of art that has been produced with the eye and the hand that combine as one unit to create a masterpiece. Although I'm aware a lot of art these days, particularly photography, uses a fair amount of digital technology, there is something so miraculous about the notion of someone with a pencil and paper creating thoughts and emotions through imagery.
So, when I came across the work of Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo, my usual taste went flying out of the nearest window. Aside from my penchant for all things old, I'm usually averse to overly bright and vibrant art. However, I'm absolutely infatuated with these eye popping and hard hitting portraits; they've got a depth and an appeal that really speaks to me.
What I seem to be drawn to are the eyes - the window to the soul as they are often referred to. In these images though, they are non-descript and blank but at the same time they convey horror and disbelief. The ink splatters which seem to be laid over quite a few of his pieces are a nice break away from the hard lines and create a charming contrast. Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo may have just converted me to the bright side.ĀĀ

Tim Rhys-Evans
Tim Rhys-Evans is a London College of Fashion grad designer who has sparked considerable interest in the fashion world. Awards from the British Fashion Council at Graduate Fashion Week and a spread in Elle magazine seem to be just the beginning of the media buzz around this young designer.
What shows through in Rhys-Evan's AW collection is his background in pattern cutting and womenswear technology, with pieces that sculpt the female form as if each garment were made-to-measure. As a woman, I can see immediately that women are truly at the centre of this collection. Building from an understanding of the body, Rhys-Evan's pieces go on to play with our expectations of silhouettes. I particularly like how much of the sculptural focus of his clothing draws our attention to the face in a gesture of female empowerment.
The suggestion of power is again played out in Rhys-Evan's choice of colour – or rather, lack of. The stark, black palette evokes something of the gothic, and the veil even brings to mind a woman-in-mourning. The harshness of the colour palette makes the collection as a whole rather imposing, and this is emphasised through the structured, definite lines of his silhouettes. The textures incorporated into the collection, particularly the lace, satin and fur, harness the underlying sexuality of the aesthetic, as well as adding detail and depth to the monotone palette.
Most striking about the collection is the pervasive use of high-neck cuts and ruffs. The historical influence is evident, but I like how the exaggerated proportions and unexpected textures are unmistakeably Rhys-Evan's stamp on the design detail.

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Best of luck to them - I can't remember seeing Davis when she was with Themi. Thoughts?
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?

There was some initial discussion about Davis/Ladwig in the US Pairs thread when the news first trickled out late last month: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...83#post3556983
They seem like they could be physically well-matched, and I'll be interested to see how they develop together alongside the other senior pairs in Ellenton, FL (Zhang/Bartholomay, Kayne/O'Shea, Kemp/King).
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
I wish them all the best, and I love Mark's classy comments re Amanda.
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
Mark is already 32 and she's only 20. His prospects don't look promising beyond Sochi while she could be searching for someone with whom she has a potential future for at least 1 more olympic cycle.. Oh well, I'ts her decision and good luck to both.
even if he's just a transition partner for her, going from having no partner to one with plenty of international experience will probably/hopefully give her good experience and maybe a leg up for next time she is looking for a partner.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?

When did Lindsay and Themi end their partnership? Is Themi still skating? Looks-wise, I was hoping he would partner with Caitlin Y. (even though I don't know how tall either one is).
"For Davis, who sat out the 2011-12 season after former partner Themi Leftheris retired late last summer, ..."
There was hearsay info that Leftheris had contacted Caitlin Yankowskas after his split with Davis (right before the 2011-12 qualifying season entry deadline, IIRC), but nothing came of it, obviously.
ETA that this was posted back in February 2012 in the US Pairs thread:

"I miss footwork that has any kind of a discernible pattern. The goal of a step sequence should not be for a skater to show the same ice coverage as a Zamboni and take about as much time as an ice resurface. " ~ Zemgirl, reflecting on a pre-IJS straight line sequence
At this point, it appears to be "a leg up" for both Lindsay and Mark. I wish them success, and I look forward to seeing them in the new season.
I too applaud Mark for his giving tribute to Amanda in the linked article. I have fond memories of Evora/ Ladwig, and I hope Amanda feels good and at peace with what she accomplished in skating and happy moving forward to achieve other goals beyond skating.
Are there any pics of Lindsay or vids of her skating?
I hope Themi and Naomi Nari Nam are also doing well these days. It's great that so many skaters are finding opportunities aboard cruise ships. I once saw an excellent show (with a Hans Christian Andersen theme) aboard the Oasis of the Seas Royal Caribbean cruise ship (Michelle Kwan is one of the godmothers of that ship).
Here's a (club?) competition warm-up video (uploaded Sept. 2011) in which Lindsay Davis and Themi Leftheris land side-by-side triple loops in unison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODC-4wEIktg
There are several D&L videos on youtube (including from Indy Challenge), searchable under Davis & Leftheris.
Amanda was (Please don't go through the exhaustive jump issues) the best overall female pair skater in the US. Lindsay has HUGE skates to fill.
This to me is a final gasp of air from Ladwig and will end up being a resume builder for Lindsay.
I meant no disrespect to Amanda in any way. I mean "leg up" for Mark in the sense that he was without a partner and still wanted to skate. Well, he now has a partner (albeit, he's starting over with a new partner and all that entails), so he's at the least "a leg up" from where he was when he became partnerless.
I don't recall ever seeing Lindsay Davis skate, so I'm not comparing her with Amanda. What Mark and Amanda achieved together will never be forgotten, and it was fitting and classy of Mark to acknowledge that in the article announcing his new partnership.
Zhao was 36 years old while winning gold in Vancouver. Mark might have a few years left. Let's see what happens ...
ETA - I read Sylvia's article. It looks like they already are doing the double twist quite easily, and their throw technique is surprisingly similar. Looks promising.

I really hope that this is not the case of another skater not having a transition plan after skating... At 32 - husband and father I guess he knows what he is doing financially to support his family...
Lindsay is a great young lady. She comes from a good family. I have known her since she was a little pixie on the ice. She has great technical skills as well as excellent ice presence.
They will do will together and I wish them all the best in their new partnership.
Happy Skating!
This is great news for Mark. I am not familiar with Lindsay but from reading this thread and from the article she sounds like a terrific choice and also a talented young lady.
I wish them both the best of luck next season.
I just don't see how he hopes to make it to Sochi with Yankowskas coming back, Marley/Brubaker & Denney/Coughlin... I mean, no one would have thought Evora/Ladwig had a real shot at making the Olympic team, but I think all the stars aligned just right for them and they had already been together for quite some time already.. I don't think that stars can align 2 Olympic seasons in a row..but if Mark knows what he is doing ,wants to continue competing and can financially support his family in his 30s then more power to him..
At the end of the article, Ladwig says, "We have to find that new balance between the things that make Lindsay comfortable competing, and then the way I'm used to competing." I can't recall having seen articles about new pairs discuss this, but its importance can't be overestimated.
In general, some skaters slow down in competition, some speed up their timing; some get tense, some get crazy, some start singing off-key and loudly; some need to do every.element on the 20m warmups, some think it's harmful to do every element, some like to just get their knees moving, etc. While some of these may sound easy to compromise, it can be tricky when one person's confidence is based on executing every element during the 20m warmup and the other person's confidence is based on a low-key warmup. It's easier to deal with a partner's personalty changes if one knows in advance, but it can still be disconcerting when a normally steady person starts snapping or becomes goofy loosey-goosey. And the tendency to speed up/slow down timing is very, very difficult to deal with - and the only way to rehearse it is to compete, compete, compete: that pressure can't be truly replicated outside of major competitive situations with something at stake. For new pairs, that's essentially Indy, Sectionals, and Nationals.
Ladwig has a good head on his shoulders and the fact that he is sufficiently aware of the difficulty in meshing the behaviors/cognitions/attitudes that make skaters comfortable in competition suggests that he and Davis might be able to compensate well for this phenomenon, but more than that, his meta-analysis says a great deal about Ladwig himself. He has long been a valuable contributor to various USFSA committees and Governing Council, with well-articulated and insightful thoughts, and I certainly hope that he remains involved as his life eventually moves away from the competitive arena.
Yes in Amanda's case jumps do matter, but they aren't everything. Pair skaters obviously achieve the majority of points from Pair elements, just ask Takahashi/Tran. Amanda was a big part of the huge TES score that the team received regardless of jumping skills. Throughout their career, Amanda and Mark seemed very consistent in their levels and also received generally high GOE scores. IMO I don't see this happening with Lindsay in 2 years.
I support all new teams that are focused on longevity and helping the US pair program flourish. I think the top two US teams are building momentum and will be crawling up the ladder in the next two seasons. Best of luck to all of them!
