Class of 2004
After graduating from Bethany, Charis went on to study at the New York Academy of Art. She currently works as a fine artist, graphic designer, and arts administrator.
WHAT YOU DO • • • I'm an artist and arts administrator. I always have multiple gears running (along with cups of caffeine). Currently, you can find me in my studio in addition to being the Director of Communications at The League Residency at Vyt (an international artist-in-residence program just north of New York City). I also hold leadership positions for two NYC non-profits: Spark and Echo Arts, and the Alumni Association of the New York Academy of Art, as well as contributing to the Artist Committee for LutheranArts.org. I've taught art history at a local college in Jersey, and have managed art galleries in Manhattan.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU • • • "Don't Quit." (Prof. Bukowski) "Just Do It." (Prof. Ouren) "It Must Mean Something." (Prof. Overn) "Whatever you do, do it well." (My Folks) While I was a student, I worked for Lois Jaeger in the YFAC. I was having a hard day, thinking about what kind of impact I could make with my chosen field and Lois reminded me that I was given abilities God had chosen specifically for me, and that I had been called to use them. Whenever I wonder if what I've chosen to do matters, I remember how what Lois said to me that day mattered so much.
HOW YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE • • • I'm thrilled about making connections between ideas, between people. I love sharing opportunities and knowledge to strengthen my peers and colleagues.
HOW BETHANY HAS PREPARED YOU • • • It wasn't easy at first to see the deep impact Bethany has on its students, but I see it more clearly now as a professional. I'm able to think on my feet and communicate my ideas clearly. I can see different perspectives while managing diverse projects. I make intuitive connections based on my liberal arts education, am comfortable in my own skin, and confident in my abilities. The instructors, staff and community at Bethany modeled passionate excellence, what a gift!
WHAT YOU REMEMBER MOST • • • There is so much, so much I remember: auditioning for Theatre Physics, rapelling from the catwalks, theology and wit at the dinner table, tight-knit friends, Hippolytan sword-dancing, Gullixson Hall basement studios, wood-graining Pete-style, the World Sensorium, contra-color underpainting, trying to keep up with Bukowski on the New York Trip, learning how to fresco, bringing my bagels and juice into Monday morning "Art in the Dark." Working at Schell's Brewery, interning at the Brown County Historical Society for two years. Lutheran liturgy at its best with Marzolf, karaoke in the Viking Village, the Nordic Chandeliers of Death, chanting the Lord's Prayer, photographing a good friend as she processed through Trinity Chapel to "O God, Beyond All Praising" to wed her best friend.
ADVICE FOR CURRENT STUDENTS • • • Get involved. Not only with the extra-curriculars, but with the whole human experience. Your main responsibility in college is to BE INTERESTED. Be passionate. Be curious - absorb more than you think you can. You'll carry it all with you your whole life.

Whatever the case may be you will probably tackle the job pretty much the same way, you'll select your base substrate and get to gluing.
Below I put together a quick & dirty tutorial on a couple of things that I found to be helpful tips to success when attaching a sharpening stone to a base.
The first thing to consider is the base material to be used. I'm old school & prefer wood like cypress as this is traditional. While wood is OK for non-soaking stones you might be better served with something a bit more stable for stone requiring some extended stay in the pond before use. Maybe something like granite, marble, glass, tile (etc) would lend themselves to the task of long soaks better than wood.
In the below tutorial I'm showing a natural stone that has come loose from it's factory mounted base & needs to get some repair time on the bench. In this case we have an uneven natural stone bottom and hunks of epoxy to deal with.
I decided to use my disc grinder to clean up the stone & base because it makes things go real fast - real quick. You could use a wide belt grinder or even some sandpaper if you had too, although myself, I'd rather buy a new stone than use the sandpaper method.
Now you should have both base & stone reasonably flat. As you can see on this natural stone there are depressions remaining after cleaning it up and that's OK because the bottom only needs to be "flat enough", it doesn't need to be engineers dead ass flat for this to work. Plus, these little depressions will hold more epoxy which can't be a bad thing, right?
This part is important - selecting the correct epoxy. I can tell you from experience that water resistant does not equal water proof in the world of epoxy. I suggest going with a waterproof epoxy since you'll be using these stones in water....duh! I used System Three's T-88 because that's what I have the most of on hand but you don't need to special order such expensive epoxy just for this task, head on over to your hardware store and grab some Devcon 2-Ton - that's waterproof - and it's cheap and easily found.
I like a rough surface on both stone & base so I do nothing but clean the surfaces with alcohol prior to glue up. Make sure that both surfaces are completely dry before applying the epoxy.
Now it's done and after the required cure time the stone will be back in service.

While it still is beta, like anything from Google, it is possible to run Google chrome on Sabayon.
We need to download the installer first:
Click to install it and notice that a desktop icon for Chrome is created. Now open up a terminal and edit this file.
nano Google\ Chrome.desktop
Edit the line so it looks like this:
Exec[$e]=env WINEPREFIX="/home/joost/.wine" wine "C:\\windows\\profiles\\joost\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe" –new-http –in-process-plugins
As you can see i've added –new-http –in-process-plugins to that line (outside the quotes).
Now fire op Chrome from your desktop icon.
I noticed that on KDE the top panel overlaps, so might wanna drag it away to the side.
Happy hacking!

John Isner failed in his bid to become the first American man in the French Open quarterfinals since Andre Agassi in 2003, losing in straight sets to sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic.
Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runner-up, broke the big-serving Isner once in each set on Sunday and won the fourth-round match 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
The 10th-seeded Isner, who lives in Florida, had been broken only once in his first three matches at Roland Garros this year. He was the last of the eight U.S. men in the draw. No American man has made it to the quarterfinals at any Grand Slam tournament since 2011.
Isner has lost seven consecutive matches against top-10 opponents.
Berdych, a French Open semifinalist in 2010, next faces Roger Federer or Ernests Gulbis.

DHS: All U.S. States Are Real ID CompliantBy Renee Boucher Ferguson | Posted 2008-04-04 Print
The Department of Homeland Security "granted" 2009 compliance extensions to all states, but the fate of Real ID still hangs in the balance.
The March 31 deadline for states to apply for an extension to the federal Real ID mandate—one that critics say amounts to the creation of a national ID card—has come and gone.
Now every state in the nation is in compliance with the mandate, whether they intended to be or not.
After a skirmish with the state of Maine in the late hours of the looming deadline—Maine, along with a handful of other states, declined to comply with the act, much less ask for an extension—the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced April 2 that all jurisdictions in the United States had complied with and met the initial RFID (radio-frequency identification) requirements.

Guy Lawrence performed together with the band
Disclosure's Guy Lawrence joined Foals on-stage during their headline set at Reading Festival.
The Oxford band closed out Friday night with one of their oldest songs 'Two Steps Twice', enlisting Guy to help drummer Jack Bevan with the percussion.
Guy, who also plays the drums during Disclosure's live sets, co-headlined the Reading Friday bill, playing before Foals.
At the beginning of Foal's set, Yannis said: "This feels pretty, pretty good to be up here playing for you. We grew up down the road and this was the first festival to give us a chance. We played in 2007, I think, on the Carling stage. It's pretty overwhelming to see all of you out there. Let's make it magic."

EEOC Settles Suit Involving Hangman's Nooses, KKK Graffiti and Slurs at Construction Site
PHILADELPHIA — The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced a major settlement of a racial harassment lawsuit for $1,650,000 and significant remedial relief against Conectiv, A.C. Dellovade, Inc., Steel Suppliers Erectors, Inc. and Matrix Services Industrial Contractors (doing business as Bogan, Inc. /Hake Group) on behalf of African American employees who were subjected to egregious racial harassment at a construction site in Bethlehem, Pa.
Conectiv was the general contractor and property owner on a project to build a new energy power plant on the site of a defunct steel plant. Construction on the project began in January 2002 and the plant was operating by the end of October 2003. The EEOC charged in the lawsuit that the defendants, acting as joint employers, subjected a class of African American employees to racial slurs and graffiti as well as threats by hangman's nooses.
The EEOC said that harassment included a life size noose made of heavy rope hung from a beam in a class member's work area for at least 10 days before it was removed; the regular use of the "N-word"; racially offensive comments made to black individuals, including "I think everybody should own one"; "Black people are no good and you can't trust them"; and "Black people can't read or write." Additionally, racist graffiti was present written in portable toilets, with terms such as "coon"; "If u not white u not right"; "White power"; "KKK"; and "I love the Ku Klux Klan."
"It should be obvious to construction companies that employees in this industry have the same legal protections against discrimination as those who work in an office setting," said EEOC Philadelphia District Director Marie M. Tomasso, who oversaw the agency's administrative investigation which preceded the litigation. "Employers risk intervention by the EEOC when supervisors ignore racially offensive working conditions and fail to take prompt and effective remedial action to stop it."
As part of the settlement by consent decrees, Conectiv will pay $750,000 to the four class members, Matrix Services Industrial Contractors (doing business as Bogan, Inc./Hake Group) will pay $450,000 to two class members, Steel Suppliers Erectors, Inc. will pay $250,000 to one class member, and A.C. Dellovade, Inc. will pay $200,000 to one class member. In addition to the monetary relief, the four-year decrees (EEOC v. Conectiv, et al, Civil Action No. 2:05-cv-03389), filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, includes: injunctive relief enjoining each defendant from engaging in racial harassment or retaliation; anti-discrimination training; the posting of a notice about the settlement; and reporting complaints of racial harassment to the EEOC for monitoring. Defendants did not admit liability in the consent decrees, which are pending judicial approval.
EEOC Regional Attorney Jacqueline McNair said, "The harassment in this case is shocking and unconscionable. The display of hangman's nooses, which represent a threat to life and limb, is abhorrent and will not be tolerated by the EEOC. Employers must realize there will be a high price to pay for such egregious and unlawful conduct, regardless of the industry in which it occurs."
Terrence R. Cook, the supervisory trial attorney responsible for handling the litigation, added, "The class members had the courage to come forward and complain, first to supervisors, who did not take action, and then to the EEOC, which did. We are pleased that the companies worked with us to resolve the case and that they are all taking the positive steps needed to ensure future work sites are free from racial harassment."
Karen McDonough investigated the charges of discrimination filed with the agency.
Racial harassment cases at the EEOC have surged since the early 1990s from 3,075 in Fiscal Year 1991 to nearly 7,000 in FY 2007. In addition to investigating and voluntarily resolving tens of thousands of race discrimination cases out of court, the EEOC has sued more than three dozen employers this decade in racial harassment cases involving nooses.
On Feb. 28, 2007, EEOC Chair Naomi C. Earp launched the Commission's E-RACE Initiative (Eradicating Racism And Colorism from Employment), a national outreach, education, and enforcement campaign focusing on new and emerging race and color issues in the 21st century workplace. Further information about the E-RACE Initiative is available on the EEOC's web site at http://www.eeoc.gov/initiatives/e-race/index.html.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available at its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Offline is the New Online
NORA ABOUSTEIT: I see three major trends in startups next year.
1. There will be many more companies started by college students and recent graduates. Students are eager to build businesses rather than getting corporate work experience first. Startups are the new Goldman Sachs.
During the past two weeks, I spoke on two panels run by universities that prepare students to become entrepreneurs. Harvard Business School's Entrepreneurship Conference and Florida International University's AVCC invited top founders, executives and VCs to share their knowledge in front of eager students who asked relevant and smart questions. And there are many more of these types of events.
I see students' LinkedIn profiles including the title "entrepreneur." It seems to be cool to be one. Millennials appear to find it much more appealing to adapt to an uncertain work schedule than to a tight corporate structure (and if you think about it, after the financial crash, one is not more secure or certain than the other, anyway).
Now, universities truly embrace failure. I learned from one of my smart and ambitious mentees Sunday morning over tea in Brooklyn that Harvard allows MBA dropouts to come back for up to five years. That is amazing. So besides a cool thing to do (one could credit Mark Zuckerberg for starting that trend), dropout risk has been reduced to zero for both sides. The dropout can return if things don't work out and help future students gain insight into real world experiences.
See what other startup mentors have to say about the top startup trends for 2013
2. More companies start with design and implementing UX culture from the very beginning, understanding design as more than just look and feel, but as a user-friendly process (navigation, flow) that enables users to easily achieve their goals (inspiration, information, learning and shopping, among many others).
At Kollabora, I hired two designers (a web/UX and a graphic designer) in the very beginning. They work very closely with our tech team (our web/UX designer does front-end development as well), business development, marketing and content people. Design is not an afterthought; it is at the very center of our operation, helping all departments achieve their goals.
On a train ride back from the HBS entrepreneurship conference, co-speaker and talented designer Robert Lenne (who formerly worked at IDEO) told me that the founder Carter Cleveland's credo to be a design-led company is what attracted him to work at Art.sy. The result was a stunning websites that attracted stellar investors.
My friend Jeremy Fisher, from Wander, received submissions from more than 60 illustrators who visually expressed what his (then non-launched) product is about. It created a lot of buzz and traction and solidified his ability to raise $1.2 million from prominent VCs.
3. Offline is the new online. More and more startups will help to reorganize and facilitate activities and experiences away from the computer.
There will be more companies that organize and empower offline activities. A few set great examples and are starting a trend: from learning a new offline skill (Skillshare, Kollabora), gaining experiences and finding orientation (SideTour, Foursquare) to matchmaking (Maker's Row, HowAboutWe).
At the same time, traditional (offline) industries will increasingly apply online tools to gain traction for their offline business (retailers, restaurants). An example is the BBQ restaurant I invested in. Its owner first used Launchrock to register potential guests, and then built a page to pre-sale brisket over the web that would then be consumed in his restaurant. Further, more post-Groupon companies will form that give offline companies access to sustainable tools that help them gain more visibility online (i.e. Small Knots, Peek).

Top 2019 Digital Trends to Watch
Since the time the internet came into the limelight, web designing has undergone a lot of transformations. Like every year, 2019 also promises to bring in new trends in the digital world. What is actually in store is yet to be known, but there certainly are a few designing trends that have caused a lot of stir. Here's a quick look through these upcoming trends will certainly help you keep pace with the industry.
Oversized, bold fonts
While the trend was already seen in 2018, this year it is going to get bolder and bigger. With bigger and bolder typography, it becomes easy to grab the user's attention and get him glued on to the content.
VR is in
These days, everyone seems to be talking about virtual reality. While VR headsets and other VR gaming gadgets have been successful in consolidating their place in the market, web designers are not too far behind. …

It may be plainly obvious who was responsible for the horrific Boston Marathon bombing on Patriots' Day: ethnically Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one dead in a shoot-out with police, the other seriously wounded and sedated in a Boston hospital where investigators are eager to interrogate him.
Unexploded bombs were found in their apartment, surveillance videos show them carrying heavy backpacks in the vicinity of and just before the explosions that killed three people and injured more than 180, and they are said to have acknowledged their responsibility to the driver of a car they hijacked.
But less than a week after a train of events that kept Boston-area towns on lock-down for days, the political maneuvering and blaming have already begun.
Russian officials warned the US about the older Tsarnaev brother – Tamerlan – in 2011. When Tamerlan returned from a six-month stay in Russia the next year, US officials questioned him and his family about any ties with radical Islam but determined that he was not a threat.
"The ball was dropped in one of two ways," US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday. "The FBI missed a lot of things, is one potential answer, or our laws do not allow the FBI to follow up in a sound solid way."
"It's people like this that you don't want to let out of your sight, and this was a mistake," Sen. Graham said. "Either our laws are insufficient or the FBI failed, but we're at war with radical Islamists and we need to up our game."
US Rep. Peter King (R) of New York is critical of the FBI as well.
"This is at least the fifth case I'm aware of where the FBI has failed to stop someone," Rep. King said on "Fox News Sunday," citing the examples of Anwar al-Awlaki, Nidal Malik Hasan, Carlos Bledsoe, and David Coleman Headley.
"This is the latest in a series of cases like this … where the FBI is given information about someone being a potential terrorist," he said. "They look at them, and then they don't take action, and then [those individuals] go out and commit murders."
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," US Rep. Mike Rogers (R) of Michigan says the fault in this case rests with Russian intelligence services who failed to fully cooperate with the FBI.
"Unfortunately, that intelligence service stopped cooperating," said Rep. Rogers, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee. "What happens is that case gets closed down."
How to prosecute Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is becoming another point of contention as well.
On Saturday, key Republican lawmakers – Rep. King and Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, and Graham – urged the Obama administration to prosecute the younger Tsarnaev brother as an enemy combatant, which would deny him certain legal rights afforded those charged in civilian courts. Others have suggested that he be sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D) of California said that's not a good idea, noting that the US Justice Department has successfully prosecuted 435 terrorist cases in civilian court.
"I do not believe under the military commission law that he is eligible for [designation as an enemy combatant]," Sen. Feinstein said. "It would be unconstitutional to do that."
"I think there's going to be a great deal of evidence put together to be able to convict him, and it should likely be a death penalty case under federal law," Feinstein said. "I very much regret the fact that there are those that want to precipitate a debate over whether he's an enemy combatant or whether he is a terrorist, a murderer, et cetera."
Other senior Democrats – Sens. Charles Schumer (D) of New York, Carl Levin (D) of Michigan, and Dick Durbin (D) of Illinois – echoed that position Sunday.
No matter how the political maneuvering turns out – and it's beginning to feel like earlier debates over how the Obama administration wants to prosecute terrorists – law enforcement officials investigating the attack have no doubt about who was directly responsible, and that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev intended to wreak more deadly havoc.
Boston Commissioner Ed Davis told CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday that authorities found an arsenal of homemade explosives after a gun battle between police and the suspects in the Boston suburb of Watertown early Friday, the AP reports.
"We have reason to believe, based upon the evidence that was found at that scene – the explosions, the explosive ordnance that was unexploded and the firepower that they had – that they were going to attack other individuals," Mr. Davis said. "That's my belief at this point."
Federal prosecutors hope to charge Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as early as Sunday, a Department of Justice official told CNN.

PACIFICA, CALIF.: Two slick new mile-long tunnels are undergoing final safety tests this month, poised to divert motorists away from an ocean cliff-hanging roadway dubbed Devil�s Slide south of San Francisco to a smooth, Alpine-like passageway unlike any in the United States today.
The $439 million project, paid with federal emergency funds, features massive exhaust fans, carbon monoxide sensors and a pair of 1,000-foot bridges soaring 125 feet above a grassy horse ranch. A series of 10 fireproof shelters are staggered between the double bores, and remote cameras dangle from the ceiling, monitored by an around-the-clock safety staff of 15.
The tunnels, the first in the United States designed and built with an Austrian technique, have a Euro-glossiness to them, with white, glistening walls and shiny pipes gliding down a rounded ceiling. There�s a bit of theme-park vibe as well, with retaining walls and fake boulders at the entrance sculpted by the man who shaped and molded Disneyland�s Indiana Jones ride.
�A new highway tunnel is a rare beast in this country, and what they are doing at Devil�s Slide is certainly different than anything we�ve seen in the U.S.,� said Neil Gray, director of government affairs at the Washington, D.C.-based International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association.
The Tom Lantos Tunnels, named after the late congressman, are the first tunnels built in California in more than 50 years. There are only a handful of tunnels under construction in the U.S. today, including the Alaskan Way Tunnel in Seattle, and the fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel, just 34 miles east of Devil�s Slide in the eastern San Francisco Bay area.
Unlike those tunnels built to relieve commuter congestion, this new pair, 15 miles south of San Francisco, will divert a treacherous 1.2-mile stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway that constantly erodes and frequently collapses. It�s a spectacular section of road that was never meant to be.
Just three years after its 1937 completion, the road tumbled into pounding waves below. The road has fallen eight times since, causing costly closures that have devastated communities to the south � Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Princeton and Half Moon Bay � that depend on the route for daily commutes and for tourism from motorists heading south from San Francisco.
Each closure turns a 7-mile scenic drive from Pacifica to Montara into a 45-mile detour through the hills, and some have lasted for months.
In addition to slides, every year there are serious � often deadly � accidents on the narrow roadway, which twists so sharply that safe drivers are forced to slow to less than 25 mph. Reckless motorists have plunged hundreds of feet down the cliffs or drifted into oncoming traffic, resulting in horrifying head-on collisions. Plans are to turn the road, once closed, into a pedestrian and cycling park.
The new route, once bitterly contentious, became a model of Californian cooperation in 2006 after local voters declared 3-to-1 that they wanted the more expensive tunnels instead of a state-backed 4.5-mile road that would cut inland around a rugged, sage-covered mountain, crossing streams and paving over sensitive plants and habitat.

A TORNADO has swept across the Sleaford area, causing a swathe of damage to people's homes and blocking roads.
The thunder storms hit around 2.30pm-3pm this afternoon and police have reported flooding on Jubilee Grive in Sleaford and Drury Street in Metheringham. Roads were being closed and drivers diverted, but it was thought they were only isolated incidents.
Elsewhere, there was devastation in Swarby as the high winds struck the village.
Witness Linda Whitney said: "Our bins were blown 200 yards up the road, but we got off lucky. Our loft roof lifted up and tiles came off, there are things smashed and scattered everywhere.
"Our neighbour's shed has gone and trampolines."
Another neighbour had to take an elderly woman into her home in shock after her garage roof collapsed and trees uprooted.
Sarah Whitelaw of North Kyme was driving between Ewerby and Ewerby Thorpe when she spotted the tornado passing over Ewerby, sucking up debris before disappearing back into the clouds.
She said: "I went into the village and had to move branches but it had taken huge pieces of hedge across the road blocking the way and I could not get any further.
"I must have watched it for at least five minutes then it lifted off when it had crossed the village."
She managed to catch some photos and video footage on her phone.
County highways reported telephone cables down in Ewerby and Swarby and two shops had been flooded in Sleaford as well as flooding in Martin.

Cosmetic Dentist Starkville – What Do You Need to Know?
Cosmetic dentistry is a field of dentistry which aims to improve the overall appearance of the face by making corrections to the teeth. Cosmetic dentists in Starkville is not a distinct branch of dentistry. Rather, it is a combination of various techniques with the sole motive of improving the appearance. Cosmetic dental procedures are somewhat costly when compared to normal dental procedures. It also takes a lot of training and expertise to become a cosmetic dentist.
Starkville Cosmetic dentistry differs from normal dentistry in a number of ways. General dentistry places more emphasis on restoring the functionality of teeth that have been damaged by various diseases and conditions. On the other hand, cosmetic dentistry is mainly about the aesthetic appearance. However, it should be noted that the domains of normal dentistry and cosmetic dentistry overlap in a number of places.
There are a number of procedures available today that can improve the appearance of the person. Some of the common dental procedures include teeth whitening, shaping, false teeth, dental veneers and dental implants. In some cases, cosmetic dental procedures may be used in combination with other cosmetic procedures that are aimed at improving the appearance of other parts of the face.
Not all procedures offered by Starkville cosmetic dentists are costly. For example, teeth whitening is easily affordable for everyone. However, it is not a specialized procedure and doesn't require a lot of skill on the part of the dentist. It is also performed at most dental clinics. It can also be performed at home by using teeth whitening kits that are readily available in the market today.
Finding a good cosmetic dentist in Starkville. There are a number of reasons why cosmetic dental procedures are costly. First and foremost, it takes years of training to become specialized as a cosmetic dental surgeon. Cosmetic dental surgeons acquire their skills over a long period of time by working at various clinics as interns. For this reason, they charge exuberant fees. Additionally, the materials involved in the surgery are also very costly. Diagnostic and screening equipment can also be very costly to operate. All of these overhead costs add up and make cosmetic dental procedures very costly.
How to Select the Best Cosmetic Dentist?
In today's world it is possible to get a smile makeover and you can create a beautiful smile for yourself. In the process your complete self image undergoes an improvement and your new smile can change your life completely. This job is done by a cosmetic dentist who can give you a new smile that fits your face. Your beautiful smile shows your strong teeth which are more stain resistant than natural teeth.
Several methods are used in the process of cosmetic dentistry and the dentist chooses the most suitable option for you after assessing your needs, wishes and dental history. Tooth whitening and bleaching are common procedures which can be used at home as well. In order to have a brighter and whiter smile there are several whitening options. The cosmetic dentist must be consulted before any procedure is adopted, otherwise it can be done totally by the dentist as well.
Dental implants and dentures are naturally some other options for replacing missing teeth. The artificial teeth can give you a more natural looking smile, but dental implants demands optimal dental hygiene habits. For all these corrective and cosmetic dentistry options which are available, good oral health is vital which means cleanliness of the teeth. Nutrition too should be good and regular visits to the cosmetic dentist are imperative to maintain a beautiful and charming smile.

Patient discussion about fog
Q. In what way the brain fog symptom associated with fibromyalgia? In what way the brain fog symptom associated with fibromyalgia? What are the other symptoms of fibromyalgia?
A. memory loss is also associated with Fibromyalgia...lack of concentration and you just feel like you are in a fog...can't remember....can't think. Our standing joke at my house is "I am in the "fog" today. The one thing my doctor ALWAYS reminds me of fibro affects people differently, remember you may not have all the sympoms or you may have ones others don't but fibromyalgia is widespread pain that has lasted 3 months or more, it is pain of the fibrous tissue - ligiments, tendons and muscles. You feel stiff and achy all over. There are trigger points such as neck, shoulders, spine and hips. Chronic fatigue taht is possibly related to the disturbed sleep patterns. Most suffers I have talked to have restless leg syndrome and headaches. Irritable bowl is associated but on that one I am lucky I haven't had the problem but have had swolling problems and vision problems...I hope this helps. Good Luck!More discussions about fog

Royals did what good teams do: Beat up on a bad team
Everybody loves the big pitching matchups — your ace faces their ace, number one against number one — but those games are toss-ups and either team could win. Then there are the games you should win and can't afford to lose; not if you're going to put together a winning record. This was a game the Royals should have won and they did. When you face a team that's 15 and 24 and they're using a fill-in starting pitcher with an ERA over 11.00, it's an opportunity—the Royals needed to win this game.
The Royals beat the Angels 9-5.
To many baseball people, a game like this is more of a must-win than a game against Chris Sale or Justin Verlander. They all count for one in the win column, no matter who you beat. Beating up on bad teams is what good teams do.
(Just to keep this in perspective: I can't remember who said it, but some coach or manager was asked if the upcoming game was a "must-win." They said no, World War II was a must-win — which is probably the right point of view.)
Game notes
First inning: Angels catcher Chris Iannetta tried to pick Alex Gordon off first base, but Gordon got back safely. When he dove back to the bag, Gordon touched the outfield side of the base. When a throw comes from the infield, base runners tag the back of the bases. The width of the bases makes throws and tags just a bit longer and that makes a difference.
Second inning: With two outs Mike Moustakas hit the ball down into the right field corner. Moose went for two and it was probably the right decision: if Mike stayed at first base it might take two hits to score him. Getting to second with two outs meant Mike could score on one hit and he did—Salvador Perez' double. Maybe Moose would have scored from first anyway, but being on second made it a sure thing.
Third inning: Jarrod Dyson walked, Alcides Escobar singled, Alex Gordon walked and Billy Butler came to the plate with the bases loaded and nobody out. This was the kind of moment that decides ballgames: the starter, Barry Enright had already been pulled, but if relief pitcher Mark Lowe could get out of the inning with minimal damage—one or two runs—the Angels would still be in the game. If the Royals could have a big inning, the odds of winning would go way up.
Veteran players say that in big confrontations, the person that can back off has a better chance of succeeding: try to throw the ball as hard as you can and it straightens out and gets whacked. Try to swing as hard as you can and your head pulls off the ball and the pitch you should have crushed gets fouled back.
Hitters can get overanxious in big at-bats and they want to succeed so badly that they get out of control, swinging at anything close. Billy Butler did not chase the first slider he saw or the first fastball; with the count 1-1 Billy saw a slider to his liking and shot it into left field for a two-run single. Getting two runs right there was a big deal; jumping out to a lead can relax a team and guys start feeling it: things are going well.
After Billy's single, Eric Hosmer walked, Lorenzo Cain doubled, Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez made outs, but Elliot Johnson singled and Jarrod Dyson tripled. When the smoke cleared the Royals had scored seven runs in the inning, which was good—they weren't going to score again until the seventh.
In the bottom of the third Mike Trout doubled, Albert Pujols singled and that led to an interesting moment: Pujols' hit went to left field and Alex Gordon came up with the ball and a chance to throw Trout out at home plate. Instead Gordon threw the ball to second base, which was a very cool thing to do. Alex passed up a chance to pad his assist total because the run didn't matter and it made more sense to keep Pujols at first base. Gordon put the team first.
Meanwhile, Albert was over at first base, pointing at the sky and thanking God for letting him drive in his 23rd RBI in a game his team was losing by seven runs.
Fourth inning: With an 8-2 lead Wade Davis walked the number-nine hitter. When a team gets a big lead they need to go for the kill: ballplayers will tell you not to let a team that's beat hang around and make a game of it. One of the ways you can let an opponent back in the game is by walking people. Davis walked three, Aaron Crow walked one and Kelvin Herrera walked two.
Fifth inning: Another way to let a team get back in the game is by throwing away at-bats. During the third inning the Royals hitters were very patient: if they did not get the pitch they were looking for they took it, and when they did get the pitch they were looking for they teed it up. You'll often see teams that have a big lead go flat because the hitters lose discipline; they think they've got all the runs they need and start going to the plate and hacking. For example: in the fifth inning Mike Moustakas took a swipe at an 0-1 curve on the black away. There's nothing much a hitter can do with that pitch and Mike proved it by hitting a weak grounder to second base.
When Angels GM Jerry Dipoto played with the Cleveland Indians Jim Thome made a routine out in a nothing game and came back to the dugout furious. Jerry didn't get what the big deal was; it wasn't a crucial situation. Thome said: "You never give away an at-bat." Hit .299 for a season and you'll be sorry if you mailed it on occasion. Let a team come back on you and you'll be sorry you didn't take every at-bat seriously. Professional hitters need to battle for every at-bat in every game.
Don't forget Guthrie and Hochevar
I've mentioned this after the last two games, but it's worth mentioning again: Monday night Luke Hochevar threw three innings in a blowout and Tuesday night Jeremy Guthrie threw seven innings in a loss.
Those two performances meant that Ned Yost had everybody in his bullpen available and Wednesday night he used his "Big Four" relievers: Tim Collins, Aaron Crow, Kelvin Herrera and Greg Holland. Even though it was not a save situation the lead was never comfortable and the Royals have an off-day on Thursday. That meant Ned could use everybody and still have them available for the weekend series against the Oakland A's.
But he couldn't have used all four relievers if they'd been used up the last two days. Thank Guthrie and Hochevar for that.
What's up with home run calls?
The umpires' inability to get a home run call right made news recently, but it's worth knowing why those calls are getting harder.
Owners want to sell tickets and they especially want to sell tickets close to the action, so fans are physically closer to the field. Look at old photos of stadiums and you'll see how much more foul ground there used to be—Kauffman Stadium is no exception. But when fans are on top of the action, they can—and do—interfere with balls in play. Allowing fans to lean over the outfield wall can lead to a Jeffrey Maier moment: a fan can change the outcome of a game by getting involved
In many stadiums the solution has been to add a railing directly behind the outfield fence to prevent fans from leaning over and interfering with a fly ball. But that's led to a different problem: when a ball might be a home run, but hits something and comes back on the field; what did it hit? If it was the top of the outfield wall it might be double, if it was the railing right behind the outfield wall, it's a home run.
Now throw in electronic outfield field-level scoreboards (the ones that have advertising on them in-between innings) and things get really tough; the glare of the scoreboard can be blinding and it's hard to tell what the ball hit when you're staring into what could pass for a neon sign. I can tell you from personally experience that when an outfielder makes a catch up against one of those scoreboards, it's almost impossible to tell what happened—everyone in the press box immediately looks at the TV monitors to see the replay.
Apparently, umpires have had the same experience and feel like getting those calls right has become more difficult. That's one of the reasons it's become more common to see a crew leave the field to check replays. Umpires still need to get the calls right, but I thought it was worth letting readers know what they're up against.
But the crew that did not know the rules about a pitcher having to face at least one batter is on its own.

The students who work in teams need "an opportunity to work together cooperatively (where teamwork skills need to be manifested), a motivation to engage in the teamwork skills (a reason to believe that such actions will be beneficial to them) , and some proficiency in using teamwork skills?(Johnson, Johnson, & Holubec, 1998). Johnson, Johnson, and Holubec (1998) described four steps used to teach students cooperative skills. Step 1. To make sure students understand the need for the teamwork skill, the teacher can: ? Ask students to develop a list of social skills needed to improve group work. From the skills they find, emphasize one or two. ? Present a case to students so they can see it is better to know the skill than not to know it. The skills should be used in the classroom; students who use them are complemented. ? Illustrate the need for the skill through a role play that provides a counter-example where the skill is obviously missing in the group. Step 2. The teacher needs to make sure the students understand what the cooperative learning skill is, how to use the skill, and when to use the skill. The teacher can: ? Define the skill as verbal and nonverbal behaviors and explain thoroughly what students have to do. This can be done with a T-Chart. After the skill is listed (e.g., give directions to the group's work), then ask the class: "What would this skill look like (nonverbal behaviors)?? ? After the students brainstorm some ideas, the teacher asks: "What would this skill sound like (phrases)??The T-Chart has to be displayed all the time. ? Demonstrate and model the skill in front of the students and explain it step-by-step so the students have a concrete idea of what the skill sounds and looks like. ? Have the students practice the skill twice in their groups before the lesson starts. "Teacher modeling of expected social skills allows the students to see the shape and form of these skills. Showing students within your classroom what these skills look like clarifies exactly what you expect to see from them and what they can expect to see within their groups. Modeling needs not to be staged nor contrived, though the use of role-playing can allow demonstration of specific skills needed. Integrating collaborative and cooperative behaviors into daily instruction immerses students in these skills before they are asked to use them independently. (Snodgrass & Bevevino, 2000) Step 3. In teaching cooperative learning skills, set up practice situations and encourage skill mastery. The teacher guides student practice as they master the skill through repetition. ? Assign the social skill as either a specific role for certain students to accomplish or a general responsibility for all groups to achieve. Skills are introduced gradually, for instance, one new skill every week. The previously implemented skills need repetition until mastery occurs. ? Observe each group and record who uses the skill, how frequently, and how effectively. The teacher should start with a very simple observation form that has only two or three skills on it. Then, after the teacher becomes more adjusted to the observation process, the number can be increased. The use of student observers is recommended as often as possible. ? Cue the use of skills periodically during the lesson by having a group member demonstrate the skill in front of the others. ? Intervene in the cooperative groups to explain the skills and show how to use them. ? Coach students to improve the use of the skill. ? (Examples of how to practice cooperative skills, go to Monitoring and Intervening ) Step 4. Give each student feedback on his or her use of the skill. Help them reflect on how to engage in the skill more effectively in the future. Effective communication has to occur in the learning process. In cooperative learning, the observer reports to the group on the information gathered to and group members in turn report their impressions as their behavior. The observer provides positive feedback to all group members about their efforts to learn and help others learn. The whole class processing comes after small group processing. The teacher provides feedback to the class as a whole. Step 5. Make sure students practice the cooperative learning skill until it becomes automatic. There are four stages of skill development. ? Awkward (the beginning stage, awkward engaging in the skill) ? Phony (the students use the skill but they feel inauthentic) ? Mechanical (the mechanical use of the skill) ? Integrated (the skill occurs naturally, the students have reached automaticity) Sample T-charts that can be used to teach social skills in the cooperative classroom. Checking for understanding Looks Like Sounds Like Eye contact Explain that to me please Learning forward Can you show me? Interested expression Tell us how to do it Open gestures and postures How did you get to that conclusion? Give us some examples please. Contributing ideas Looks Like Sounds Like Leaning forward In my opinion? Open gestures and posture I have a suggestion? Taking turns We could? What if we ?

She has fabulous taste and has already inspired me to 'toile' my next powder room. You can meet Kelly HERE.
Lisa, at Le Bonheur, is a 'chandelier kindred spirit', based in country Tamworth. She purchased a chandelier off me last year and painstakingly assembled all the dangly bits with the help of her daughter. (I still remember sitting cross legged on the filthy floor of my Great Room, a cross cut saw screaming at the other end, tradesmen walking over me, delicately hanging the crystals on my chandelier, in time for the electrician to install it!). Lisa commented on my blog but I didn't put two and two together until I saw a picture of her gorgeous chandelier. Isn't blogging wonderful ....it brings everyone within reach of friendship. You can meet Lisa HERE.
Sidetrack.. sort of spooky moment...speaking of blogging bringing people together..... standing in a queue at the sales in town, clutching some shells for the jars in my bathroom, chatting away to the lady behind me in the queue... all of a sudden, she says, "oh I know you, I read your blog"....no name, no photo on my blog and she still knew who I was.... yes, what was I saying?... about bringing everyone together.... what amazing times we live in. I still remember being blown away seeing Sandra Bullock purchase airline tickets over the internet in the 1995 movie, 'The Net'! "Wow, just imagine the day that you will be able to do that"!!!!... and here we are...2010..... all so connected!
Say Hi to my new friends and have a great Monday! (it's all rainy here and still stinking hot!)

I've just purchased a Supernova XE with the aim of starting up PAT testing soon. However, on receipt it still has site locations etc. stored on it so that when I go to do a test of my equipment it's showing up college details etc.
Is there a way to easily clear all of this information as I've done a factory reset and can't find anything else in the instructions.
Many thanks

THOR: THE DARK WORLD Explored: Marvel Studios Exec Talks The Sequel's Vision Of Asgard
Thor: The Dark World certainly is much-anticipated – recently, further details were released regarding the sequel to Kenneth Branagh's immensely successful Thor adaptation. The sequel will be directed by Alan Taylor (of the Game Of Thrones), and reportedly will offer a new and different take on the realm of Asgard – among other things.
Marvel Studios Executive Producer Craig Kyle discussed the film and its director in a recent interview with Empire:
By bringing director Alan Taylor into the mix, with his expertise on 'The Sopranos,' 'Mad Men' and 'Game of Thrones,' we came up with a take that allows us to get more into the nooks and crannies of Asgard and its people. We spend more time on the ground with the commoners, as opposed to in the palace.
Kyle continued on, discussing the nature of the "Superhero Movie", and the unique appeal of the Thor universe:
Like in Indiana Jones, while there's high stakes and high danger, there's always fun. We have to constantly redefine what a superhero film is or it'd just exhaust the audience. So Iron Man is the James Bond-y, classic, suave action hero; Captain America's the period piece; Hulk is the monster movie; Avengers the disaster movie; and Thor is the science-fiction epic.
It's a very complicated blend [of genres: high science fiction, gritty fantasy, and realism]. Thor is, until Guardians of the Galaxy hits, by far our most wild, fringe Marvel piece. But that's why it's the Marvel Universe and not Marvel Earth!
According to Kyle, Thor: The Dark World begins with a war-torn Asgard, and the Nine Realms besieged "by rag-tag invaders known as The Marauders", led by Mister Sinister. This leads to an opportunistic attack by the Dark Elves, led by Malekith the Accursed (Christopher Eccleston).
Thor: The Dark World is scheduled for release in 2D and 3D on November 8th, 2013, and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi and Tadanobu Asano, with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins.

A tribute to Chicago's Eric Monte, a legend responsible for opening the doors for Black writers in Hollywood and creating the legacy of Black television shows that premiered in the 70s, will highlight the kick-off ceremonies of the Sixth Annual Blac
A tribute to Chicago's Eric Monte, a legend responsible for opening the doors for Black writers in Hollywood and creating the legacy of Black television shows that premiered in the 70s, will highlight the kick-off ceremonies of the Sixth Annual Black Playwrights Festival produced by the Black Playwrights Initiative, Dec. 6-13, at Black Ensemble Theater, 4520 N. Beacon. Raised in the Cabrini-Green public housing complex, Monte, a high school dropout, hitchhiked to Hollywood. His first big break came five years later with a script written for and accepted by All in the Family. From there, he produced work responsible for two 70s sitcoms: Good Times, which he co-created with The Jeffersons' star Mike Evans, and What's Happening!, loosely based on his motion picture Cooley High.
The L.A. Times reported that in 1977 Monte filed a lawsuit accusing ABC, CBS, producers Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin and others of stealing his ideas for Good Times, The Jeffersons, an All in the Family spinoff, and What's Happening! Eventually, he received a million dollar settlement and a small percentage of the residuals from Good Times, but the industry retaliated by denying him the opportunity to pitch new scripts. Since Good Times ended, the only scripts he's written that have been produced by Hollywood are a single episode of The Wayans Bros. and one episode of Moesha, the latter of which he has called "the absolute worst script I've ever written."
Monte used the bulk of the settlement to finance the production of a play he'd written, If They Come Back, which proved to be a commercial failure, leading to his financial ruin. After falling on hard times, by 2003, he had developed an addiction to crack cocaine and declared bankruptcy. By 2006, he was living in a homeless shelter. He seemed to be maintaining sobriety there, as the shelter required regular drug tests, and he was actively pursuing further attempts to sell TV and film scripts as well as a self-published book, Blueprint for Peace. In 2006, Monte returned to Chicago.
Jackie Taylor, a playwright herself and BET's founder and executive director, created BPI, she says, "to provide adequate exposure to its members, offer a professional platform to have their works produced and spotlight the high quality of work that Chicago African American playwrights have to offer." The opening will also include a reception and excerpts from works of three award-winning playwrights – Rueben Echoles, Sounds So Sweet; Runako Jahi, More Than Words (A Tribute to Langston Hughes and Paul Lawrence Dunbar) and Wendell Etherly, The Rare Pearl (The Story of Pearl Bailey).

Knoxville, Tenn. - On "Live Pink, Bleed Orange" day at Thompson-Boling Arena, the Lady Vols sent the crowd of 14,716 home happy with an 83-64 victory over Vanderbilt. The No. 12/10 Lady Vols remained perfect all-time in home games against the Commodores, winning all 28 match-ups in Knoxville.
Tennessee won its third game in a row and moved to 20-5 overall and 11-1 in the league. The Lady Vols took over first place in the SEC with the victory as Texas A&M (10-1 in the SEC) plays Kentucky on Monday night.
Five Lady Vols scored in double-figures led by Meighan Simmons (17), who led UT in scoring for the 14th time this season.
Freshman Jasmine Jones was an unlikely offensive source for the Lady Vols as she tallied 12 points, 10 in the first half.
Sophomore Ariel Massengale added an SEC season-high 14 points, freshman Bashaara Graves added 13 while Taber Spani had 12.
Vanderbilt fell to 16-9, 6-6 in the SEC. The Commodores were led by Jasmine Lister, who netted a game-high 24 points.
The victory also gave the Lady Vols their 37th consecutive season with 20 or more wins. Since 1976-77, Tennessee has won at least 22 games in every season.
Holly Warlick became the first head coach in the history of Tennessee women's basketball to win 20 games in her first season at the helm. Pat Summitt went 16-8 in her first season leading the Lady Vols in 1974-75.
Up by 10 at halftime, the Lady Vols came out strong in the second half, expanding the lead to 16 in a little over two minutes as Simmons finished a 3-point play with 2:13 elapsed, 49-33.
The lead ballooned to 20 at 60-40 on a 7-0 run keyed by a 3-pointer from Spani with 13 minutes left.
Vanderbilt got within 10 on three occasions in the final 8:40 of the game, but the Lady Vols were able to maintain the double-figure lead.
Tennessee shot 55 percent from the floor including 55.9 in the second half.
Tennessee held its largest lead of the first half heading into halftime as Jones knocked down jumper with nine seconds left in the half. That gave UT a 39-29 edge at intermission. It was the first double-figure lead of the game.
Just prior, Jones keyed a Lady Vols 8-1 run late in the first half with back-to-back jumpers giving UT a 33-24 lead with 3:51 left in the first half.
Tennessee went on a 10-0 run after Vanderbilt scored the game's first basket to lead 10-3 on an Massengale 3-pointer with less than three minutes elapsed. UT start 6-of-8 from the floor.
Vanderbilt's 7-0 run brought the Commodores cut the deficit to 14-12 with 12 minutes left as Jasmine Jenkins laid one home.
Vandy briefly tied the game at 16, but Simmons answered with a 3-pointer with 10 minutes left in the game to regain the lead, 19-16.
The Lady Vols return to action on Thursday as they welcome Auburn for a 7 p.m., tip-off.

Surf's Up!
A trained ear can discern surf conditions from the beach parking lot, even when cabanas, clam shacks and other obstructions obscure the ocean.
A gentle rustle means don't even bother getting out of the car, unless all you want to do is loll around on a blanket and read The New Yorker.
Repeated but rapid crashing means waves are coming in too close together or breaking too near the shore, so again you're pretty much limited to swimming or sunbathing.
But when thunderous booms follow prolonged silences, you know big, majestic combers are rolling in – especially if an onshore breeze builds their amplitude.
These were the conditions the other day when four of us approached Misquamicut State Beach in Westerly with boogie boards and kayak.
Though Misquamicut is typically packed throughout the summer with teenagers and families with small children, the lot was all but deserted now that kids are back in school and bathhouses shuttered for the season. As a bonus, we didn't have to pay for parking.
"Sounds like good surf," I announced after parking the car.
Sure enough, 4-6-foot waves curled magnificently toward shore, and then exploded in a wash of white foam.
The first order of business, though, wasn't riding waves, but a spirited ocean swim, so my friends Spyros Barres and Mary Georgetti and I donned wetsuits and plunged into the surf. It took several porpoise-like leaps to punch through breaking waves before we began stroking parallel to shore. After about three-quarters of a mile, riding up and down the swells, we had enough.
Rather than swim back we decided to body surf in and then return to our towels by walking along the beach – a reasonable plan except the spot we chose to land happened to be at a sandbar where waves built up even higher. One caught me just right – or wrong – and next thing I knew I was "Maytagging" – tumbling and flipping out of control.
I had no idea which way was up, so held my breath and waited for the buoyancy of the wetsuit to bring me back to the surface after the wave had rolled by.
"Well, that was fun," I said, after smacking the side of my head with the heel of my hand to knock sand and water from my ears.
I initially decided to confine the next phase of our adventure to boogie boarding, in which my wife, Lisa, joined Spy, Mary and me for a few wild rides.
Spy decided to take out the kayak, a short, plastic sit-on model we've used to surf before in more moderate conditions.
I watched him paddle through the break, spin around, and wait for the next wave. It loomed high over his head, and then propelled him, almost vertically, to shore.
"Do a brace!" I shouted, but it was too late. The bow plunged under, the boat broached, the paddle went flying and Spy disappeared beneath the surface.
In seconds, though, he, the paddle and the kayak all washed up separately on shore.
Ever the game trooper, Spy hopped back aboard and tried again, with much the same results.
After a dozen or so tumbles he handed me the paddle.
"Do you want to try?"
I really didn't, but figured, what the heck, we brought the boat all this way, might as well give it a shot.
Paddling from shore into big, breaking waves takes timing, with the hardest part guessing where the next one is going to crash down. I had made it half way out when a giant wall of water rolled toward me and I realized I had about half a second to decide: Hold up and hope it breaks in front of me, or sprint like crazy and pray it breaks behind me.
What I didn't want was for the monster to smash on top of me.
I sprinted, and just made it over the lip – for a heartbeat I actually was airborne – before slamming down safely on the ocean side of the wave.
Then I spun the boat around and aimed the bow toward shore. On the beach I noticed a small knot of spectators had gathered with cameras. I wondered if they wanted to see me ride a wave in gracefully or wipe out spectacularly.
I let several waves go by before picking the one I would ride in.
It briefly lifted me up and I reached the moment of truth: Paddle hard and try to ride it in, or brace and bail.
In that split second I recalled the vision of Spy tumbling through surf, limbs akimbo.
I pulled up and slid gradually, but safely, behind the passing wave.
The disappointed gawkers put down their cameras.
I took a deep breath and waited for a lull before paddling back to shore.
As if for spite, just as I prepared to disembark a breaking wave crashed over me and flung me into the sand.
I spluttered, snatched the kayak grab loop before it could get away, and staggered back onto terra firma.
"I think I'll stick with the boogie board today," I said.
