...WHAT JUDGES LOOK FOR Flowing from one jump into the next is critical. Landing at a dead stop not only loses points, but also makes it harder to launch into the next jump. Edge jumps, such as the flip, Salchow and loop, which take off from the blade edge rather than the toe pick, require more technical skill, and earn higher marks for the increased difficulty...
...move put Nair a bit out of the loop. She followed up with cable-TV films and some lukewarmly received features, including Kama Sutra, an over-the-top costume (and often costume-less) drama. Monsoon, with five plot lines and (by Nair's count) 68 characters, feels like her first real epic, but it started small.

Never mind that the Valley is a grim place these days and that the gold rush has given way to the deep funk. Forget that the Internet bubble has burst, and that Ma and Pa investors across America are wearing a what-were-we-thinking? grimace of fiscal remorse. Right here, right now, sitting on a butcher-block table, bathed in the sunlight that pours in through spyproof frosted-glass windows, is--repeat after...
