The office of the papacy is not mandated in Scripture. In fact, the pope of Luther's day was demanding obedience to the Church, not by a mandate from the Word of God, but by the power of his position. Luther, on the other hand, proclaimed the unity we have in the one name of Christ. We are united in His name through doctrine, faith, sacraments, prayer, and mercy to others. To grant any person or object the same or greater authority than Christ Himself is the definition of idolatry and is unacceptable in the Church. Christ is the head of the Church. We submit to Him and Him alone! Rev. John Zimmerman, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Scranton, PA and St. John Lutheran Church, Pittson, PA, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to discuss the Papacy. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.

The Israeli ambassador to the United States said on Monday that a cease-fire deal to end fighting between Israel and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terrorist group could be reached “within days.” Among the issues that remain is an Israeli demand to reserve the right to act should Hezbollah violate its obligations under the emerging deal. President Joe Biden tapped into his presidential pardoning power on Monday, granting clemency to a pair of lucky turkeys and kicking off the holiday season at the White House. Weighing in at 41 and 40 pounds, respectively, “Peach” and “Blossom” were hatched in Minnesota by John Zimmerman, chairman of the National Turkey Federation and a second-generation farmer. Macy's has reported weaker-than-expected sales for the third quarter and said it's delaying the release of its full quarterly results after it discovered an employee intentionally hid up to $154 million of expenses over several years.

Go to https://www.propilotplaybook.com and enter your email to get access to our list of "The Top 10 Flight School Rip-offs" and access to free lesson from our course. If you have a question you'd like us to answer, you can email us at: podcast@propilotplaybook.com Are the latest headlines about slowing airline pilot hiring just a temporary pause or the start of a downward trend? In this episode, aviation career mentors Mike Martin and Sean Richey explain what the real state of the industry is. They also talk about the right approach to flight training, how to build time, and whether airline interviews still matter. Mike and Sean have lots of experience as corporate pilots, so they share tips from the world of private jets, including the different skills required for that type of job. In the Ready to Copy segment, you'll hear about tough checkrides, how to be a good copilot, and the best airports in America. QUOTES: - Current hiring trends: “There's a difference between the hiring surge that we had and the true pilot shortage that's going on in the background.” - Airline hiring 25 years ago: “Your first year you made like $22,000; you had to pay $18,000 back to them for your training.” - Where we are now: “There is no greater time in the history of man, since the Wright brothers first flew, to become a professional pilot.” - What type of flight school is best: “At the end of the day, you're going to get the same certificates and ratings no matter what you do.” - Why waiting to start flight training can cost you: “For every year you wait, you gotta think about those big bucks on the back end of your career.” - Competition between employers: “This large airline hiring is sucking pilots out of the corporate world like a vacuum cleaner.” - Corporate jobs vs. airline jobs: “The actually volume of flying you is way less. There are many corporate pilots that fly as many hours annually as an airline pilot does in one month.” - How to break into corporate flying: “Be at the airport… you need to be at these airports and you need to see yourself seen and known.” - What makes a good copilot: “The ability to distinguish what's important from what's not important.” - Flying celebrities: “I had a perception before I did this… [that] money doesn't buy happiness and all that. I actually think after years of doing this that that's a coping mechanism that us poor people say.” SHOW LINKS: - Pro-Pilot Playbook: https://www.propilotplaybook.com - Boeing Pilot Outlook: https://www.boeing.com/commercial/mar... - Pilot Training+ Membership: https://www.sportys.com/sportys-pilot...

The seas off the northern California coast are notoriously rough, and no area is more treacherous than St. George Reef, which is the tip of a submerged volcanic mountain about six miles offshore. Construction of a lighthouse on the reef began in 1883. It took nine years to complete the massive 90-foot-tall granite tower on top of a 50-foot-tall base. A powerful first-order Fresnel lens was installed, and the lighthouse began service on October 20, 1892. St. George Reef Lighthouse, California. Courtesy of the St. George Reef Preservation Society. Jen Lewis and John Zimmerman at St. George Reef Lighthouse. Courtesy of Jen Lewis. After a large navigational buoy was positioned nearby in 1975, the light station was discontinued, and the crew was removed. The St. George Reef Preservation Society was formed in 1988 for the purpose of restoring and maintaining the lighthouse. The organization has also provided public tours via helicopter. Interviewed in this episode is John Zimmerman, president of the St. George Reef Preservation Society. Also taking part in the interview is Jen Lewis, outreach manager for the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse. Jen also cohosts the episode.

The Rev. John Zimmerman, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Scranton, PA and St. Johns Lutheran Church in Pittston, PA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 14. Paul and Barnabas venture into new territories, spreading the Gospel and facing a roller coaster of challenges and triumph. As they travel to Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, they perform miraculous healings, leaving the locals in awe. However, their divine mission attracts fierce opposition. From being hailed as gods to facing violent persecutions, their unwavering dedication to God's mission takes them through highs and lows, leaving a lasting impact on the communities they touch. The Book of Acts takes us back to the earliest days of Christianity, unveiling the incredible acts of the apostles and the growth of the early church. Acts offers a firsthand account how the Apostles and Jesus' disciples respond to his death and resurrection. It makes us witnesses to the beginning of fulfilling Jesus's command to spread the Gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. We encounter miracles and wonders, we see the church struggling to organize itself in the absence of Jesus, and we learn of the trials and tribulations the early Christians faced in a world that rejected them.

Taylor Sharp '16 is a director and producer based in Brooklyn, New York. The alumnus co-founded the independent production company Blue Cup Productions with Holland Randolph Gallagher, a writer and director. Taylor spoke with Catalyze at a neighborhood cafe a day after the 2023 New York City Regional Event for alumni and scholars.Hailing from a creative household in Burke County, North Carolina, Taylor recounts his upbringing alongside two older brothers, both Carolina alumni, who immersed themselves in music and imaginative projects (Taylor's brother, Jacob, is one of the founding members of the string band Mipso). These early explorations paved the way for his career in filmmaking. As a Morehead-Cain Scholar, Taylor interned at the Zimbabwean nonprofit Hoops 4 Hope, experiences that informed his 2017 documentary, Hoops Africa: Ubuntu Matters. He also worked at a sports agency with Jim Tanner '90, president of Tandem Sports + Entertainment, and in New York with Malcolm Turner '93, then president of what would become the G League. On today's episode, Taylor shares other memories from UNC–Chapel Hill, how conversations at He's Not Here (a famous haunt on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill) led to the founding of Blue Cup Productions, his work with Shaquille O'Neal and the NBA G League, and more. Earlier this year, Taylor and John Zimmerman were inducted into the Southern Fly Fishing Hall of Fame for their humanitarian contributions within the sport. In 2012, they co-founded Casting for Hope, a nonprofit that supports women with ovarian and other gynecological cancers, which has since raised over $1,000,000 for its financial and emotional assistance, programming, and fly-fishing retreats.A natural fundraiser, Taylor is also a Morehead-Cain Class Ambassador, collaborating with peers to support the Foundation's annual fundraising campaigns. The episode's intro song is by scholar Scott Hallyburton '22, guitarist of the band South of the Soul.How to listenOn your mobile device, you can listen and subscribe to Catalyze on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Rev. John Zimmerman of St. John Lutheran Church in Pittson, PA & Immanuel Lutheran Church in Scranton, PA joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 9:32-38. As Jesus has proven His authority by healing and teaching and He gives us a shot of reality. The need for the Gospel to be preached is great, but the preachers are few. Each generation of the church has seen the need for preachers of the Word and Christ gives basic instructions on how we should react: Pray. He is the One who provides the workers and calls us to proclaim the truth of His Word. Start praying and He does provide. “Lord God, provide pastors and workers around the world for the sake of proclaiming Your Word and bringing Your gifts of salvation. Keep them faithful to their callings and for all of us to work in Your kingdom to give Light in a dark world. In Christ, Amen”

Sporty's John Zimmerman has been flying airplanes since he was very young. Learning how to make decisions while flying cross-country in a helicopter stretched his way of thinking—and almost landed him in trouble with IFR weather.

With the advent of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, everything seems larger than life. And, as consumers, we’re able to process more information than ever – sometimes with an insatiable appetite. It’s no wonder the public’s demand for information on high-profile cases has been met with gavel-to-gavel coverage by competing news outlets. In this podcast, Chief Judge Fred Lauten sits down with Circuit Judge Diana Tennis to discuss her decades long legal career, which featured prominent news commentary on high-profile cases such as the Casey Anthony and the John Zimmerman case. After a brief, two-year stint with the Ninth Circuit Public Defender’s Office, Judge Tennis set out to establish her own practice. Along the way, she established herself as a prominent legal analyst who synthesized complex legal concepts in more palatable formats that laypersons could understand. Tune into this podcast to hear Judge Tennis’ incisive and humorous account of her life on either side of the camera. Although she misses being in the courtroom where she’d passionately advocate for her clients, Judge Tennis now enjoys interpreting the law utilizing the wealth of knowledge she’s accumulated along the way. Let us know what you think about the podcast.

March 2014An interview with Sylvia Fontana, 5-time Italian Champion, 2-time Winter Olympian (for the 2002 Salt Lake City games and the 2006 Torino Games), show skater, coach, reality TV star, and founder of Karisma Sportswear with her husband american pair skater John Zimmerman. She talked about working with Carlo Fassi, why her cats didn't like her methods of warming up, and how she balances team coaching with her husband. 33 minutes, 29 seconds Thanks to Fiona Mcquarrie for transcribing these interview highlights: On her most embarrassing skating moment:  I want to say that it is probably the fact that I can't hide my emotions very well. So even yesterday as Brandon [Foster] and Haven [Denney] were skating, it was just hard to maintain composure. After every one of my good performances, I would just start crying, and some of the audience or the people watching would wonder why without winning a gold medal I would break down in tears [laughs]. I'm not embarrassed but I definitely can't hold my composure. On starting skating: My father was in construction, and that's why I was born in New York, because he had a temporary job building a big sports center in New York City. Then when we moved to Italy he was building a sports center in Rome, and there was a mini-rink. And of all the sports in the center, I was attracted to that. I couldn't go down stairs and they tell me I still wanted to see the people skate. And I see my little Sofia [her older daughter] just has the same focus when people skate, everything stops. Even better than Minnie Mouse [laughs]. I have US citizenship, and that made it easier when I had to choose a country to train in. No visas, nothing like that. Carlo Fassi at the time was training in Lake Arrowhead and therefore I selected the US for my site of training. In Rome it was really difficult to get a good systematic training schedule. So I moved to the US to improve my skills and really learn the triples. And when I met John [Zimmerman, her husband], he was funny, he was like...and I was, I am, I am a US citizen. But I didn't speak English very well so he couldn't understand how that could be possible [laughs]. On being an Italian skater and training in the US: At the time there was [backlash from the Italian federation] but now they're more used to understanding that some of our infrastructure and coaching has gotten better throughout the years, but wasn't up to par with what other countries had. And when I moved I was kind of like the first one to have done that. And Carolina [Kostner] had always trained outside of Italy, and now Valentina Marchei is in Detroit. There is always part, I think, of the Italian federation and the Italian coaching staff that looks at you a little bit with disappointment because you're emigrating, but I think now that Italy is so competitive, they are understanding how one athlete is driven and how to support them in their decision. So it's better now. But at the time it was a little challenging. I was going to Carlo at first, so it was really emigrating to skate with an Italian, so it was kind of okay [laughs]. And then unfortunately Carlo passed away, so that's when I moved my coaching to Frank Carroll and Evelyn Kramer. On whether she could have skated for the US: I could have [laughs] but it's much harder. Yesterday I saw the women's short program and it's such a deep field, it's awesome. It's beautiful to watch. For a very short moment John was without a partner and we had a mini-tryout, so we could have skated for the US in pairs, but I had just gotten all my triple jumps, and I skate lefty. And we never fight, but we had our first fight 30 minutes after skating together, and we didn't think it was a good idea [laughs]. On being interested in ice dance: I was always a singles skater at heart. I love pairs, I love watching pairs, and now with John we're coaching pair teams. And I'm learning so many more aspects of choreographing pairs and what to look in a pair team as far as choreography, I wouldn't touch the technical part. I do think it's very interesting to have two people on the ice creating a story, I love that aspect. But for me to skate — I enjoy skating with John and it's very special to do all these shows, but even then sometimes, I'm like, you took off, wait for me [laughs]. I'm a singles skater that way. On working with Carlo Fassi: He had an aura about himself. He had a lot of charisma. He had that personality where it wasn't so much what he would say to you, what correction he would give to you, but how. Just the tone of his voice, the command, it almost transferred so much confidence. He knew exactly how to make you better. And to me, that is how I remember him as a young woman growing up. He gave me a lot of confidence, and whenever I felt that he believed in me, it made me believe in myself that much more. And Christa Fassi, I just saw her at Italian nationals, and Christa is a very very good coach and still coaches full out, I have very fond memories of them. It was very hard [when Carlo passed away], I had just lost my father that year, and then Carlo, that was very difficult. On training with Frank Carroll, who at the time was coaching Michelle Kwan: It was awesome. I was very much looking up to Angela Nikodinov, Nicole Bobek, and Michelle — it was really the epicentre of the skating world at the time. I learned a lot from the coaches and from the skaters. Now in coaching I find myself relating stories of training times with Michelle, and how she would start off a long program and maybe missing her first jump but continuing the program as if that never happened, in practice as she would do it [in competition]. And just her work ethic, how she would warm up and cool off. She definitely was a huge role model for all of us training there. And it's sad that some of the kids now, they are, oh, Michelle Kwan, I heard about her [laughs], and I always say, go and research on YouTube because she is an institution for our sport, she's an icon. On missing the 1998 Olympic team: I had a very poor national championship. I skated very poorly. It's so funny now watching an Olympic trial, it's a different stage when you are competing at a nationals to qualify for the Olympics. I had qualified Italy to be in the Olympics at a competition in August, at the time it was the Vienna Cup, and I was the very favorite to go. And I just didn't perform well at all, the nerves just got the best of me. And I contemplated quitting, because that's another four years [to the next Olympics], and I had already gone to Worlds, so that's another four years to invest into your craft, and I was already 21 so that's not very young. And I'm very glad that I stayed in because I did two more Olympics [laughs]. It was not the right time, but at the time it was so devastating. And I see so many things going through skaters' faces now, like, well, you can't get up from this. But you do, and it makes you stronger. And everything in your career as a skater makes you stronger as a person later. On 2001 Worlds, where she placed 10th after being 19th the year before: I worked very very hard. I had my triples thanks to Carlo, Frank and Evelyn. Then I moved to Connecticut to be closer to John but also to be under the guidance of Galina [Zmievskaya]. Galina really put so much work into improving my skating and I really owe it to her and Nina [Petrenko] and Viktor [Petrenko] to have improved so much. And I was emotionally ready. As I was saying before, as an athlete I grew that mental toughness, and they were behind me to improve my skating to where I needed to be to be up to par with that top 10. It's really tough to get in to the top 10 [laughs] but I felt - my skills, when being raised in Rome, technically I had so many things that weren't perfect. And so we had to make do with some things. And Galina tried to improve my technique a little bit without completely starting over, because we didn't have the time, and she was very successful at that, very smart. On placing 10th at the 2002 Olympics: I wasn't thrilled because I think — I'm a little bit of a perfectionist, and I think I made two mistakes. One big mistake and one slight mistake, and I knew I could skate better, so that's why I was unhappy with myself. I wasn't that unhappy with the score, I wasn't that type of skater that really focused on the score, but I was really crying only when I skated my best [laughs]. On competing in the 2006 Olympics in Torino: I saw the NBC commercial, I don't remember how many days it was but it was like 154 days until the Olympics, and they were showing all parts of my country, with the Olympic circles. And something came onto me, I have to try. I was so far back and I was not in shape at all, I had never done triple flip or triple lutz in four years. And I was touring in Broadway on Ice with Brian Boitano and it was in theatres, with very small ice. So I asked Brian, so how was it to come back? And he said, very difficult, but it was a good challenge. So it was good that he was there. And I didn't want to even admit in my brain that I had thought about coming back, because we had bought a house and I was in a different phase of my life. So I said, I'm just going to start training silently, on my own, and see where I go. And John was on tour in Stars on Ice. So my tour was done in March, so I said, in June, when John comes back, if I am in good shape, maybe I'll verbalize it out loud [laughs]. And it was good. The drive that you have in training for the Olympics is amazing. And [with the new judging system in 2006] I had never trained some of the required positions in the spins. So when I trained from March to June, I turned on the heaters and did hot yoga in the house. The cats hated me going back to the Olympics, they were dying [laughs]. Obviously I didn't place as well [as in the 2002 Olympics], I also had several injuries from being 29 and training all these new things. By the time I got to the Olympics I was injured a lot so I really couldn't do triple flip and triple lutz, which I did at nationals to qualify. But that to me was the peak of my career. Even though I knew I didn't have the goods and I couldn't deliver the jumps at that point because of the injury, just to be able to put it together — those nine months leading to the Olympics, getting back into shape, qualifying at Italian nationals, and then skating in front of the home crowd and doing the best I could at that moment — that was it, that was worth it. Peter Tchernyshev did the choreography for the long program. He's brilliant. And he was the best man at our wedding so I knew he would have the best interests [laughs]. He's a great friend, and musical and talented. And I had moved to New Jersey, and Robin [Wagner, her coach] was appropriate for my age and what I was going for, my goals. Galina was amazing but I probably could not have handled Galina's type of training at my age. I was training very hard on my own and tried to get back in shape, but Robin was a great support for me at that time. She was very smart and supportive and positive. She connected with me and understood what I needed at that time, and understanding that if there was an injury, how to manipulate around it. To a younger skater I could say, especially in an Olympic year, to take the defeat as a gift and not as a defeat, and say, what can I learn from this, and not to get you down. Your soul as a skater, as a performer, as a champion, has to be stronger than those little bumps in the road. And that's what I learned from other skaters, like Michelle and Brian. I was very lucky to have met them and seen them and seen them train, and you learn that from life, it's a great lesson. Don't let your confidence and your dream and your drive be shattered by things like, that's it, a door is closing. Something else will open if you keep at it. On being on the Italian version of the Skating with Celebrities TV show, and winning twice: It's funny, but when I go back to Italy now that's how they introduce me [laughs]. It was a very popular show, and it was fun to do. It was interesting that, it's my curse, I ended up skating pairs [laughs]. It was just a challenging experience. You're a little bit of both, you're a coach and a skater. You have to teach them how to skate, you have to teach them how to perform and put together programs, but you're also the partner and the skater and the performer. It was challenging, but it was fun, because you feel that you're really bringing the sport that you love into the houses of people that never knew about skating before. So you see so many people falling in love with your sport, and that's worth it. And so many little kids are starting to skate because skating is popular because of the show. I also did the judging for Dancing with the Stars in Italy for a little while, so I had the opportunity to venture into the TV world. I knew that wasn't me. I liked more the contact with the sport. It's a very lucrative job, but coaching is much more satisfying, and my clothing line Karisma. That part of it to me was more challenging than waiting for the next contract. I liked the show for what it was but I wouldn't want to do TV for a living. We both like The Amazing Race because we are like that with each other, oh, let's see who gets there first. We used to play tennis, and John looked like John McEnroe, with the same intensity, we are both very competitive people. So that type of television, that type of reality show, we would both love to do. On successfully coaching with her husband: I think it's the respect we have for each other, and I truly believe he has so much to offer and vice versa. We trust each other in making good decisions, and we really like to hear what the other person thinks and believes. And then we come up with the best solutions for the skaters. We have the common respect for each other. We were both lucky that we had great American coaches and great Russian coaches. John trained under Peter Oppegard and Tamara Moskvina, and I had Carlo and Frank and then Galina. So we know a bit of both systems, and I feel that helps us. Not every skater is the same and not every skater needs the same thing, so our experience helps us. That's why it's really hard for me to watch because I know what they're going through [laughs]. On her clothing line, Karisma: It's a great challenge and it's fun because it's my baby, it really is. We started from zero, completely, and not knowing much about that type of business, but it's very demanding. Always thinking and always growing. It's the most popular clothing line in Russia for figure skating, and it's sold right now in the US, in Asia, in Japan and Hong Kong, and in Russia and all the other European countries. It's popular and it's doing really well, but obviously having these two little devils [her daughters] kind of put a stop to growing it for a little bit. But we believe in the product so much, and as a skater I knew how important it was to look your best, and how you feel good when you have things that look good on you. We aspire to having it grow because we were front runners in finding the fabric, in finding the right machine. It wasn't just an investment where we give money and forget about it. We put our heart into creating the right thing for the skaters, and hopefully it will develop into something more than just skating gear. But for now that's what we know and that's what we're passionate about. We will never quit growing, and we're proud of every little step. When we went to Moscow for worlds and saw how popular it was, and all the stores were approaching me to have the exclusive and bring me flowers, it was, wow [laughs]. We had a table, and of course having John and Peter at the table helped with all the women coming [laughs], but a flood of people were interested and we sold a lot of the product, and I did a lot of the vending personally. We are driven to make it grow and find ways to make it better.

Thanks to Fiona Mcquarrie for transcribing these interview highlights: On his most embarrassing skating moment: I can clearly tell you right now. For me, it was 2001 Worlds. I was very excited, very hyper. Usually Kyoko and I went and did our own thing, just skated on our own, and I went — somehow I caught my heel on crossovers, fell and slid into the wall. On crossovers. Pretty humiliating. Just as we're starting to vie for a position at Worlds. Pretty stupid [laughs]. On how he began skating: I started in a mall rink in 1976 or 1977. My mom was a skater from Michigan. They ended up moving down to Montgomery [Alabama], and on the weekends she wanted to go skating, so she took me to the mall. I just took to it, I loved it. It kept me off the streets and gave me something to do [laughs]. And there was a game room in the mall so I'd go play games afterwards. It was just a fun-filled afternoon for me. By the time I was eight we moved up to Ohio, and I'd done ISI [Ice Skating Institute] competitions, and there I got into USFSA [US Figure Skating Association] competitions, so it got a little more competitive, and that's where it really took off. On starting as a pairs skater: I remember seeing little newspaper articles from when I was about eight, with a girl, but we didn't really skate pairs, we just stroked around a lot and probably argued [laughs]. I didn't start skating pairs until I was 17. Most of the time everyone's pursuing a singles career, and that's the mentality I'm trying to change a little bit. I was 17, I enjoyed it, and it was an attractive idea, wondering if I could compete internationally now, instead of waiting until I got this triple jump or whatever. On being coached by Peter Oppegard, while skating with Stephanie Stiegler: Peter was intense and he had a vision for his teams. I loved it then, but I appreciate it even now. He still has a reputation for being an intense coach, and I think it's great. Peter has a very good way of being able to draw your potential out with his ideas and his intensity, and as long as everyone's on the page, these things work. On working with Tamara Moskvina: She was a master of trying to make the most of things for the team, and she took responsibility for it. A lot of coaches just say, I'm trying to do this, I'm trying to do that, but if the team's not up to par, she feels that she hasn't done something. She hasn't been creative enough, or she hasn't figured out a way to get it to where we believe in it, or figured it out. I remember a couple of times at competitions, she took the blame for it, like, I have not done my job as a coach to get him to understand, or get her to understand. And I'm like, whew, the pressure's off me [laughs]. But as a coach now, I mention that to my teams, but I don't think I'm at the level yet to take full responsibility. I don't know if I can handle that yet [laughs]. On pairs skaters changing partners: It's kind of a delicate situation because you have to stay on the ethical side of things. Usually, like in everything, face to face dialogue and honesty is best. Having a clear game plan with the students, getting clear goals from them, getting them to understand your goals, and if something's not being met, having that be addressed. And everyone needs to know that if it's not being addressed, then there needs to be a meeting, and everyone has to decide which way to go, and everything needs to be clear. When you address another coach, you just go straight up to them and talk to them about it, maybe get US Figure Skating involved, but never to the student. If the student wants to talk to another student, to their friends, then that's one thing to do, but I still think the best way to do it is from coach to coach. On working with Tamara Moskvina, Igor Moskvin, and Artur Dmitriev during his partnership with Kyoko Ina: They harnessed me down a lot in my thoughts and my emotions, which for 90% of the part was great. Sometimes it's good to let a little bit out, a little wildness in a skating program or in how a person goes about their practice or their competition. But they definitely taught me structure of thought, structure of competition and practice, and how to know my body, know myself and what to expect. And at high-level competition, to learn from each mistake and to know your body. Peter brought out a great artistic flair in me. Tamara got it to where I controlled it a bit more, and Kyoko is a technician. She was the go-to person on the jumps, she had extremely efficient skating. I had to work on that a bit more, I was a little bit of a bull in a china shop that way, but I offered a side of it that she didn't have and that she could grow from. Artur was my hero growing up, it was the reckless abandonment of skating, and he had the cool hair and he was big and strong [laughs]. The confidence in his face, and the care for the woman, their cultural way on the stage, in the presence of the audience, of handling the woman — it's more than just skating pairs, it's the whole look. And I aspired to be like him, I wanted to move like him and skate like him. On being a cute boy and then a handsome adult in skating: Well, coming from Alabama, you know, you certainly weren't regarded as a good looking guy, because I was wearing spandex outfits, and if I ever had any friends come to see me, they would make fun of me and think it's silly, I'm lifting up my leg and moving my hand in a balletic way or whatever. I was humbled big time. And then I had a ballet teacher I worked with in Alabama, she was cute and I responded to what she wanted me to do. She was telling me I was looking good, and I was feeling the confidence [laughs]. It gave me confidence in a way I'd never experienced before. But I don't think about looks or anything, I just enjoy doing what I'm doing. And if that portrays a certain look or whatever, that's great. On competing at the 2002 Olympics: We wanted to know what kind of emotions we were going to have walking into it. We had a four-year plan with Tamara, and we worked out the placements we wanted to get. We had good performances and we had moments where we looked like we had two left feet, but the second year we placed seventh [at Worlds]. The third year, we placed seventh again, so we were duplicating that, which was devastating, because we needed to be fifth. So we hit a couple of Grand Prix finals, we did okay, we were there, which was the most important thing. But replicating the seventh place was so bad that we had to go back home and work that much harder. So that last year, in my mind, we worked hard, US Figure Skating gave us great support financially and with anything we needed to be the best. But also, the way we went into that last year, it was like, this is it. This might be the only Olympics I get to go to, and I really dedicated myself. It was intense, but it was so long, it was like ten months. I wanted to be a vegetable on the couch at the end of the day, knowing that I could not have done any more. I was sick of going to competitions and being nervous. So I wanted to go and enjoy myself. And when I was at the Olympics walking around, one of the first days, I was thinking, I'm healthy, I've never been in better shape, and here I am at the Olympics representing my country. [The judging scandal] I don't know if it affected our results that much, but it really comes down to feeling you've done the best you could. A month later, we got the bronze medal at Worlds, but we didn't skate that well, and I don't even hardly remember that performance. The crowning moment of my career was the Olympics, what it meant, and the way we skated. You have a four year plan, and you go four years later and you know exactly where you are. That was cool. But what really irritated me about the whole judging scandal is that there are people who have their own political purposes, and they're using all of us for pawn pieces, you know, from chess, and it does make me sick to think — I come from Alabama, I skated in a mall rink, my dream was to be in the Olympics, and these people don't know that if that little boy had that dream, he could have had the misfortune from someone else's decisions and their political games, and that's kind of unfortunate. Even if it's 13th or 14th place, with the sacred Games that it is or it's touted to be, it's a placement and it should hold a lot more sanctity, I think. On skating in Stars on Ice: It was phenomenal. All of us who were on it, it was our dream to be on these tours. The camaraderie and the ensemble work, it's just cool. It was the best, great lights, great music, intimate setting on the smaller ice. That first year, it was with Katarina Witt, Tara Lipinski, Gorsha Sur and Renee Roca, Jenni [Meno] and Todd [Sand}, Kurt Browning, Scott Hamilton, all these great skaters. Your jaw is dropping, thinking, I can't believe I'm with this group of people, I'm from Alabama, this doesn't make any sense [laughs]. But you feel intimidated, so the thing you'd better do is keep working, and I loved it and wanted to keep on that job. And what cooler job can you have than ice skating and making money doing it? So we always would work really hard to be more capable and to figure out the direction that would keep us unique. On working with his wife, Silvia Fontana: We're together 95% of the time. The only time we're apart is if she's off doing a show in Italy or something or I'm off doing a show. We love it. We coach every day together. We respect each other as athletes and as people, and we learn from each other every day, and make each other laugh. There's no other place I'd rather be than by her side, anywhere. On being on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy TV show: When I got the call, they called my agent, I wasn't sure, I was like, isn't this the show where they cut the guy's hair off all the time? No, thank you. I wrote that in the contract, can you believe that? Yeah, you can do the show but you're not going to cut my hair [laughs]. I didn't know what to expect with those guys, it was a four-day taping , and it was like a hurricane. They come in, and you're supposed to only interact with them on camera, because everything has to be spontaneous. So we could be in different rooms for two hours, setting up the scene, and then meeting and being spontaneous [laughs]. Oh, wait, can you make that reaction again? Burst in the door and be surprised [laughs]. But we enjoyed the show, we got a ton of things out of it, great exposure, and we loved the guys. We still see Carson [Kressley] every once in a while. On being on the Skating with Celebrities TV show: It was cool, but it was intense. Since I had already been on one reality show, I figured it was going to be staged. It wasn't, and it was a lot more competitive than you'd imagine. Especially Lloyd [Eisler] and I, coming down to the wire in the end, we were doing a lot of these crazy moves that we shouldn't have been doing with people who hadn't really skated [laughed]. I did the same kind of show two years ago in Russia, Night on Ice. I got to skate with Leo Tolstoy's great-granddaughter, which was kind of cool, but it was four and a half months long, 15 episodes, which was like forever [laughs]. On running the Karisma sportswear line: It's been a lot of fun, and it's certainly a direction I never thought I would go, women's sportswear [laughs], but . . . Silvia started it a few years ago. She was teaching in Italy when I was teaching there as well, and she gave a present to a skating mother over there, it was a little skating dress, and they talked about starting their own company over there, which they did [laughs]. They wanted a nice, upscale, very beautiful Italian representation for figure skating, something that looked classy and elegant, and cute, and something made with the best materials in the world. So we have a very good line that has some great interesting textured fabrics, and every kid will ooh and aah once they touch it, and the colors really pop. And it's been three years and we are selling all over Russia and Japan and Europe. It's a lot of work but it's a lot of fun. On the state of pairs skating in the US: There's some classical-looking teams there that look unique. I think another year or so and we're going to have some depth to it. It's important to me. I'd like to have good access for all the kids in this country looking for teams and looking for partnerships, and getting more boys. If we're going to be competitive with the world, we need to get more guys around 14 or 15 thinking of pairs right away. That's going to be the hard part, because it's a commodity, in a way, it's rare to find a good guy.
