New Delhi, April 5 (IANS) He always knew storytelling was his calling. But the medium remained unknown for Abhinay Deo until he began directing ad films in 1993. Now, as he shifts his focus to feature films with 'Game' and 'Delhi Belly', he hopes to bring to Bollywood the discipline, visual sense and detailing that he mastered in the advertising world.
'I would like to believe what I bring to the table from advertising is discipline, the visual sense, and the most important - detailing. In advertising, you have to take care of every detail, and that is what I'll always do in my films as well,' Deo told IANS here.
He was born into a film family - to veteran actors Mahesh and Seema Deo, who kept him away from living the life of a star kid. However, simply put, creativity and cinema ran in his blood.
'I always wanted to be a storyteller. I remember, when I was in my eighth grade, I wanted to tell a story for the first time, I wrote a play. I won many prizes for it. But I never understood how I could nurture this desire of wanting to tell stories.
'My parents are film veterans, but they never let me grow up like a star kid. I didn't have friends from film families and I never used to go to the sets. I was brought up in an environment where I was disconnected from films because my parents always believed that education is the base for everything, and after you are well-educated, then you can choose to do what you want,' said Deo.
He studied architecture and worked on a few projects to fulfil his parents' wish - but storytelling always remained at the back of his head. He wanted to make Hindi films, but chose advertising instead.
'I ventured into ad films in 1993. I felt at that point, Hindi films were in a bizarre mode - they were in between being bad and very bad. From 1993 to a little before 2000 was a very dodgy period for the film industry. We were making strange movies, trying to copy the west, but we weren't getting there! At that point, I was sure I didn't want to do cinema.
'Advertising seemed like a nicer, interesting, intelligent and challenging way of storytelling. I worked hard, and on April 1, 2002, I started my own company. From then, I made 10 years of advertising,' he reminisced, and flashed a smile full of satisfaction.
He now follows in the footsteps of Prasoon Joshi. R. Balki, John Mathew Mathen, Dibakar Banerjee and Pradeep Sarkar are among other ad filmmakers in Bollywood.
His directorial debut 'Game' hit the screens April 1 and didn't receive rave reviews. His next film 'Delhi Belly' is set for a July 1 release, and one can't help but notice the '1' factor!
'Yes, for strange reasons - everything I do is number one! My birthday - 10.01.1970 also totals up to 1,' he quipped.
Jokes apart, there's a lot more the 40-year-old hopes to bring to Bollywood.
'Many people believe that people from the advertising world can't make feature films. They think we don't think of the content and that's a misnomer! I will speak for myself - I honestly believe a script is everything - and not just in feature films, it is the same in advertising too.
'If you don't have the right content, no amount of visual effects, beautiful imagery and special stunts is going to be of any use. If the foundation itself is weak, what's the point in painting your building red?'

Arizona State linebacker Vontaze Burfict reeled in another preseason honor Thursday.
Playboy 2011 preseason All-American (Look for it in the September edition).
Last week, Burfict, a junior, was named to Phil Steele's first-team All-America team. He also has been named CBSSports.com's and Lindy's Preseason National Defensive Player of the Year.
All this attention puts Burfict in position to go down as one of the top defensive players in school history.
To date, ASU has had six defensive players earn postseason consensus All-American honors. The list: defensive end Terrell Suggs (2002); safety David Fulcher (1984-85); safety Mike Richardson; defensive end Al Harris; cornerback Mike Haynes (1975) and linebacker Ron Pritchard (1968.)
In 2002, Suggs became the first ASU player to capture major national awards, winning Bronko Nagurski, Rotary Lombardi and Ted Hendricks Defensive End honors.
Is Burfict next?
Last season, Pac-10 coaches didn't think enough of him to name him first-team all-conference, although the Sporting News selected him as a first-team All-American.
The vibe around ASU is all this preseason pub is great, but Burfict still has to prove he can consistently play at such a high level. The talent always has been there, but in the past, the work ethic hasn't.
Burfict insists that's changed. His teammates back him up. They say he's about to have a monster season.
If so, it should be fun to watch.
By the way, Burfict is the 15th ASU player to be recognized by Playboy.
The rest: Thomas Weber, kicker (2008 and 2009); Zach Miller, tight end (2006); Derek Hagen, receiver (2004); Grey Ruegamer, center (1998); Bruce Snyder, coach (1997); Juan Roque, tackle (1996); Craig Newsome,defensive back (1994); Shante Carver, defensive end (1993); Nathan LaDuke, defensive back (1990); Randall McDaniel, offensive lineman (1987); David Fulcher, defensive back (1985); Vernon Maxwell, (linebacker) 1982; Mike Richardson, defensive back (1981 and 1982); Woody Green, running back (1973); Ron Pritchard, linebacker (1968.)

Five Minute Guide to Glue-Ups
Furniture glue-ups can be one of the most stressful times for any woodworker. Once the glue goes on your components, the clock starts ticking. If you haven't prepared well ahead of time, all that work cutting and fitting joinery could fall flat on its face. In this short video, Fine Woodworking editor Asa Christiana and senior web producer Ed Pirnik demonstrate the right way to glue up your furniture projects—from dry-fitting and sanding, all the way through glue application and clamping.
How to Choose the Right Glue
All glues are not created equal. When selecting a glue for your woodworking projects, you should select your adhesive based on a few criteria: working time, color, and exposure to moisture.
|Standard wood glues will suffice for the majority of projects. Commonly available adhesives like Titebond original and Titebond II are the go-to glues for most furniture projects that won't be exposed to the elements. These glues dry with a transparent glue line. But be careful, they begin to set up within 5-10 minutes, so you've got to work fast.
|If you're looking for more working time, you could consider a specialty glue tailor-made for tough glue-ups that demand a slower pace. They're usually marketed with a term like "Extend" in the brand name. A glue like Titebond Extend has a working time of approximately 20 minutes, and that's great for complex glue-ups. Plus, they dry with a clear glue line.
|Waterproof wood glues like Titebond III are perfect for any project that will be exposed to high humidity or moisture—think outdoor furniture, humidors, and cutting boards. They also give you a bit more open time than a standard wood glue--about 20-25 minutes. But be careful, they often dry with a tan glue line, not so good for projects made from light-colored woods like pine.

Thanks for this really useful step-by-step guide on how to perform the right glue-ups. I have been engaging myself in various woodworking projects and some of them are storage drawers made from pieces of planks. So far I have thought of simply hammering nails onto the edges to keep them together for a long period of time but having holes will not make them look nice physically actually. Now that I have seen these proper guidelines, I might just switch my technique and use glue instead to make the finish a flawless and smooth exterior.

A little mention of hide glue (longer working time, water solubility) and even polyurethane (expansion) would have been nice. Use of pipe clamps and staining/preventing staining from them could also have been mentioned. I noticed, at the bottom, references to other videos. There could also be pointers to videos on cleaning up glue smudges or finding them prior to finishing, clamping of non-square joints. It is a pretty good video for the topic.

By Marky Mark
RatingWith 3 fan speed settings, it's not too noisy, especially if you leave the bath door closed after using. HEPA filter works. I've been looking for a solution to small bath odors, especially in the downstairs bath where guests would frequent. Downstairs baths are where you need exhaust the most but you have to exhaust through the wall. Other solutions like scented candles or plug-in do not work well. When turned on, this machine filters orders extremely well and also creates air flow in the small bath. Very effective solution to a common problem.

RatingExcellent product use in children room. It does such a good job filtering that no dust even collects on furniture.
By MaMak "old student"
RatingI love this little product - I bought 2. I don't have a lot of space in my house and one fits nicely on my countertop in my kitchen and I have the other one in my bedroom. My husband said he was less congested from his allergies in the morning when we had this running during the night. It's pretty quiet and didn't bother us being on while sleeping. I don't have an exhaust fan in my kitchen so it does a nice job of getting rid of food smells after cooking. I don't like to cover up smells with candles or air fresheners and I feel like this air purifier actually gets rid of the odors. I also have two big dogs in the house and I think it helps with their smell too. I also like how it looks and its simple to use.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Fredy will also buy beverages in bulk and add chicken and cold cuts to his business. His financial records are in line with his business activity. Fredy's purchases are made with cash and he maintains a gross profit margin of 34.19%. His family expenses with respect to his operating profit represent 75.63%. Fredy's accounts receivable are minimal since he has three customers who are pensioners and settle their bills at the end of the month. His dreams are for his family to improve their well-being each day and to see his children become successful at whatever they pursue. They serve as the motivation behind his work.

Beyond the basics 5 must-haves to freshen your wardrobe
Most women agree that style is an important tool for succeeding at work, at home and in life. But for many women, getting dressed in the morning can prove a frustrating process. Even with the basics covered, it's often the final touches that can make or break an outfit.
Sure, everyone could use a personal stylist to help with those last minute fashion conundrums, but in this economy, who can afford one? Stay calm in your closet with these five must-haves to maximize - and personalize - your style every day.
1. Sheer, patterned scarf.
No matter the season, scarves are in and can be worn with anything from a plain T-shirt to a well-tailored suit. Scarves are a great, commitment-free way for women afraid of color to liven up their look. Freshen up your white T-shirt and jeans with a bright orange print scarf, or pick any color that suits your fancy. There are many options that won't break the bank, so experiment with colors, patterns, textures and layers. For different ways to wear scarves, try the "How to Tie a Scarf" mobile app.
2. Statement sunglasses.
Sunglasses can be functional and stylish. Whether it's a retro cat eye, hipster wayfarers or oversized Hollywood glamour, choose shades that scream you. For decades, style icons, like Jackie O, have perfected their look with signature sunglasses. Oversized shades are perfect for the beach or lunch on the patio and never go out of style. When trying out a new shape, consider purchasing an inexpensive pair to take on a test run before opting for a pricier option.
3. Classic trench.
The timeless trench coat is always in style. While high-quality coats can graze the top of your budget, this style staple is the multitasker of your closet. Taking you through multiple seasons and offering style and functionality, it's worth the investment. From belted traditional khaki to updated yellows and pinks with a feminine ruffle detail, the classic trench is a timeless must have for your everyday style.
4. Metallic flats.
Made popular by 1960s star Audrey Hepburn, flats continue to grace storefronts and celebrity toes. The comfortable, wear-everywhere style comes in a round, square or pointed toe and can take you seamlessly from a casual day of shopping to a night out with friends. -When it comes to color, metallics are the new neutral. Give basic black the backseat - instead, pair silver, gold or rose sheens with almost anything to add subtle shine to your outfit.
5. Versatile handbag.
Handbag lines have come on the market that make putting an ensemble together a snap.
Miche, a Utah-based company, has developed a system that makes changing your bag as easy as changing your shoes. Put essentials in one base bag and switch outer shells easily to coordinate with your outfit. Sizes come in Prima, Demi, Classic and Petite. Visit www.miche.com for prices and styles.
"Nothing says you like a versatile, customized handbag," says Heidi Thompson, co-creator of Grace Adele — www.graceadele.com — a new line of handbags and accessories that offers women a style system to create a customized look in five steps. "It's the one item that anchors your entire outfit, and for many women, it's the one accessory they pick up every single day," Thompson says.

Why they get no critical acclaim is beyond me.
Chickenfoot III should be best album of 2011, and Something's going wrong should be the best song of the year, and they won't even play it on the radio.

My 10 yr old son wanted to make a dessert for THanksgiving dinner--and he wanted to try something different than simple pumpkin pie. This was great alternative. We had problems with the crumb sticking to the sides of thering, but spray should fix that next time. Instead of halloween decorations we outlined a pumpkin on top and filled it in with sugar tinted orange. Looked good and tasted great--many compliments for the 10 yr old!!
Halloween at our party, the kids and everyone loved it. I would recomend it for guests of all ages.

How Much Does It Cost to Meet British PM David Cameron?
Apparently £250,000 (or $400,000).
The British political Establishment has been rocked by a Sunday Times sting that implicated Conservative Party co-treasurer Peter Cruddas in a cash-for-access scandal. Reporters posing as would-be donors got Cruddas, considered one of the Tory's top fund-raisers, on tape claiming that donations of £250,000 (or $400,000) would grant, in soccer parlance, "Premier League" access to Prime Minister David Cameron. "If you're unhappy about something," he can be heard saying, "we'll listen to you and we'll put it into the policy commission at Number 10 [Downing Street]," referring to the Prime Minister's residence. He even floated the possibility of private dinners at Number 10.
Since then, Cruddas has resigned, calling his words just "bluster."
Clearly there is no question of donors being able to influence policy or gain undue access to politicians.
David Cameron, for his part, has pledged to launch an all-out inquiry, while the Conservatives have promised taxpayers that all their donations comply with electoral laws. But the damage has already been done, corroding what little voter trust was left in the country, and it's particularly embarrassing given Cameron's 2010's campaign promise to fight lobbying, which he derided as the "far too cozy relationship between politics, government, business, and money." He even made a prediction that he's likely regretting right about now: "It's the next big scandal waiting to happen."

Get your finery ready and we will have a hap- py wedding. God bless Mi- riam Two hours Wilton Seymour came to put the engagement ring on Miriam's and to thank her for his promised happiness. Looking at this man as he held tho hand so soon to he his no ono could doubt his love for the fair woman who stood before him. They lind spoken of many when ho said Palmer has told me your gen crotis with regard to money. I cannot consent to this. It is true wo must have waited long be foiolcould ofter you a but will win my way to fortune He lifted his young noble head ns he tossing tho dark curls from such a manly full ol bright resolution that Miriam wondered in her henit how any one could look into his nnd suspect him of mercenary desires. She said nothing in answer to his impetuous only and nestled her hnnd in his. She was not a caressing coy in her sweet maiden but where she gave love and she gave them fully and Ireely. The' days of betrothal sped rapidly. During the day Wilton stood at his fingering over massive ledgers and dreamed of future and Miriam selected her furnished and kept seamstresses nnd milliners busy. She hnd no ob- jection to her step father's wish to have house and furniture settled upon but wni resolute about the residue of her large fortune being left subject to tho control of her future husband. But tbn days of the betrothal were short. A gay a happy and the young people came borne to the 'handsome new married folks. Two years ot happiness followed. Wilton was rapidly -rising in the esteem uf business pur- chased liis-position as junior partner in the firm of Myers A at Miriam's earnest request. although at- tentive to his be was no mere seeking money as the only eud and aim of life. Miriam found him ever a willing es- cort to ball or and the home evenings were given to or such bright intellectual in- tercourse as had its power of mutual attraction before marriage. There were sage people who shook their heads over the wife's ex- travagance but Wilton seemed most happy when she was gratifying some new whim or and she had never known the need ot economy. Money had always been at her com- and there was now no restraint upon her expenditures. For fine dress she cared but though she was and her costumes were always rich and appropriate but she was generous and loved to collect trifles of exquisite art around patronized rising and found no difliculy in exhausting her liberal income each year. It was during the third year of her married life thnt Miriam begnn to find a cloud upon the former bright happi- ness of her life. Wilton was changed. In these three the loving heart of the young wife summed tip all her forebodings. He had been the sunlight hour of her tender and but it became evi- dent to her that some absorbing in- terest wns winning him more and more irom her side. Evening after evening he left her on one pretext or oftentimes being away until long after midnight. His sleep became restless and broken and some absorbing caro kept his face eyes and manners grave. There was no unkindness to complain of. Miriam met ever a ten- a loving word. Shemisse'l the pleasant home and a dull fear crept into her heart. Wilton was becoming miserly. He denied her but would oflimes sigh heavily if she challenged his admiration of some new dress or nnd it was evident be was curtailing his personal expenses to tho merest necessities. Too proud to Miriam suffered praying thnt she might not lenrn to despise her husband as a mere money machine. At first she endeavored to gain his but he kindly evaded her nnd she made no further eflort. But her home grew missing the companionship that had made the hours there fly so swiftly. She had never felt household trusting everything to an experienced housekeeper. She had no children to awaken a mother's love and so she plunged into fashionable follies and tried to forget her loneliness. Never had her toilets been chosen with more faultless never had icr beauty been more marked than it now and she sought for ex- citement as she had never done in the first happy yenrs of her married life. And while Mrs. Seymour thus sought happiness abroad that could not bo found at her husband's grew paler and and he iocame more absorbed in business ares. One year more and he hearts that had been firmly bound together seemed drifting opart. Miriam was sitting sadly in her drawing one waiting Tor the carriage thnt was to convey her to a large social gathering at n fashionable friend's. She was dressed costly over and every detail of her costume was faultless as to and the choicest quantity. Her face was and her eyes sad. She looked up as the door lioping to see though it was long since he had spent an evening in her society. Instead of his grace- full the portly form of her step- father entered the room.

I am a single mom of three - My water stopped working on Saturday night and after Church on Sunday I was confused on what to do. So I started calling Pump and well services in the yellowpages. After several answering machines, I called Westlake Turf and Irragation because I knew someone that worked for them. The owner of the company, George, was at my house within the hour. He didn't only figure out the problem, he fixed it in the rain (thank Gosh it was only electrical and not the pump) and then woudn't charge me and told me to have a wonderful Christmas!! What a wonderful man!!!

"What Baby Needs" – book recommendation
I took some time away from the fam last night for an ANO (Amy's Night Out). Of course, I found myself at Borders looking for a book to buy for Ava, but I also spent a good hour of "me time" finishing up my copy of "Ina May's Guide to Childbirth." What an excellent, uplifting book! Back to my story…I was looking for a good book to get for Ava about becoming a big sister. The first book I picked up talked about bottles and feeding the baby milk and showed the baby sleeping in it's crib, etc. It was obviously not the book forRead More →

UN leader Ban Ki-moon is gravely concerned about reports of an Israeli air strike on Syria but cannot independently verify what happened, a spokesman said Thursday.
On top of a protest to the United Nations, Syria has also complained to the UN Security Council about the raid, diplomats said.
"The secretary general calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation in the region," said deputy UN spokesman Eduardo del Buey.
Syria, threatening retaliation, says the raid targeted a military research center while other reports have claimed it hit an arms convoy. Israel has not commented.
"The secretary general notes with grave concern reports of Israeli air strikes in Syria," the spokesman while stressing that the United Nations has no details of the incident nor could it "independently verify what has occurred."
Syria made its formal complaint to the UN Disengagement Observer Force, which monitors a ceasefire zone between Syria and Israel in the Golan Heights.
"UNDOF did not observe any planes flying over the area of separation and therefore was not able to confirm the incident. UNDOF also reported bad weather conditions," del Buey said.
The UN mission in south Lebanon, UNIFIL, had also been unable to confirm any Israeli air strike, del Buey said earlier. But the Lebanon force "can certainly confirm that there were a high number of Israeli overflights that UNIFIL recorded on Tuesday."
Ban called on all sides to "strictly abide by international law, in particular in respect of territorial integrity and sovereignty of all countries in the region."
Syria said it has protested to the United Nations over the incident. The UN secretariat, however, has not confirmed the protest.
The UN Security Council is "monitoring" the heightened tensions, however, Masood Khan, Pakistan's UN ambassador and president of the council for January, told reporters.
"Things are developing very rapidly, this incident has taken place. We have received a communication from the permanent representative of Syria," Khan said.
He gave no details of the Syrian letter, but said there was no request for a special meeting of the 15-country council. "They would give due consideration to this development," Khan added.

Call this a result of work woes - actress Sonakshi Sinha had to wish her elder brothers - twins Luv and Kush - a "Happy Birthday" Wednesday via micro-blogging site Twitter.
"Happy birthdayyy @LuvSinha, who is too busy to take my call, and Kush bhaiya - from Nasik with love. Hopefully, I'll be back home before 12," (sic) posted Sonakshi.
Luv and Kush, twin sons of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha and his actress wife Poonam, turned 30 Wednesday. Luv made his Bollywood debut with "Sadiyaan" in 2010, while Kush is more inclined towards going behind the camera.
Sonakshi, who made a superhit debut with "Dabangg" in 2010, is busy working on films like "Rambo Rajkumar" and "Bullet Raja" these days.

Biden condemns new Israeli settlement plan
JERUSALEM Vice President Joe Biden condemned an Israeli plan to build hundreds of homes in disputed east Jerusalem on Tuesday - a disagreement that tarnished a high-profile visit that had been aimed at repairing ties with the Jewish state and kickstarting Mideast peace talks.
Israel's Interior Ministry said late Tuesday that it had approved construction of 1,600 new apartments, an embarrassing setback for Biden after a day of warm meetings with top Israeli officials.
Although ministry officials said the announcement was procedural and unconnected to the visit, a top aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was blindsided and tried to contain the damage at a late-night dinner with Biden.
Nonetheless, Biden issued a harshly worded statement after the dinner, saying its timing was especially troubling by coming on the eve of a new round of U.S.-mediated peace talks.
"The substance and timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks, is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now," Biden said.
"We must build an atmosphere to support negotiations, not complicate them," he added, warning that "unilateral action taken by either party cannot prejudge the outcome of negotiations."
Relations between Israel and the Obama administration have been chilly precisely because of the settlement issue, and one of Biden's main goals had been to try to patch up ties. Biden is the highest-level member of the Obama administration to visit Israel.
The U.S., like the Palestinians and the rest of the international community, believes that Israeli settlements built on lands claimed by the Palestinians, including east Jerusalem, undermine peace prospects. President Barack Obama has been more outspoken on the issue than his predecessors.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the plans in a statement, saying they undermine "any movement towards a viable peace process."
Netanyahu has rebuffed calls from the White House to halt all settlement activity, agreeing only to a limited freeze that does not include east Jerusalem.
Israel captured both areas in the 1967 Mideast war and subsequently annexed east Jerusalem. Israel considers its east Jerusalem neighborhoods to be part of its undivided capital, but the annexation has never been internationally recognized and the neighborhoods are widely seen as settlements.
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Efrat Orbach said the new homes would be built in Ramat Shlomo, an existing neighborhood for ultra-Orthodox Jews. She noted that there is a 60-day appeals period, indicating that the decision could yet be changed.
At Tuesday's dinner, Netanyahu told Biden he was caught off guard by the ministry's announcement, a top Israeli official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the dinner was closed.
While Netanyahu considers east Jerusalem to be part of Israel, he acknowledged the timing of the announcement was poor and said he had no intention of sabotaging Biden's visit. He stressed that there are no plans to begin construction anytime soon.
But Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the move soured the negotiating climate. The two sides agreed this week to begin indirect negotiations under the mediation of U.S. envoy George Mitchell. Peace efforts have been stalled for 14 months, in large part because of Palestinian anger over settlement activity.
"With such an announcement, how can you build trust? This is destroying our efforts to work with Mr. Mitchell," Erekat said. "It's a really disastrous situation. I hope that this will be an eye-opener for all in the international community."
Interior Minister Eli Yishai's office issued a statement saying Tuesday's decision was a procedural step in a project that has been in the works for three years. "The timing ... has no connection to the U.S. vice president's visit to Israel," it said.

Really curious what everyone does with leftover grease from things like hamburgers, bacon, oven-baked chicken/turkey....
When I was young and naive I remember just pouring it down the sink, but as most learn that leads to problems.
I now compost every thing, but I don't put my grease in the pile, just doesn't seem like the right thing to do. So this is what I do:
I have several large trees that I mulch around, not just a little circle; I take the mulch out to around the dripline of the trees. So I take the grease out and cast it out into the mulched area, so as to not allow the entire contents to be concentrated in one area; many times I use a hose and scatter it that way -- with the nozzle set on the "Jet" high pressure mode.
So what do you do with your leftover grease?

Why did you choose Cal?
I chose Cal for its rich tradition they have build through their swim programs along with their academic history as the No. 1 public school in the nation.
What do you hope to gain from your four years at Cal?
I hope to come from Cal with an experience that is unique compared to any other schools' student athletes. With Berkeley being such a unique place and San Francisco right across the water, I don't see that being much of a problem.
Where do you see yourself after graduation?
I see myself swimming for several more years and after that moving back to Bremerton and starting a life and a family.
What do you think makes Cal different than any other school?
Cal is made up of students from all around the world that are all unique in a special way. I am especially proud to know so many people from foreign countries that had such different experiences growing up than I did.
What is your favorite memory at Cal so far?
I refuse to choose a particular memory to become my favorite. Cal has been a collaboration of hundreds of great memories and experiences that I only hope to add to.
What are your swimming goals for this year and for the rest of your college swimming career?
Swimming goals this year are to continue to swim well. I think the best part about swimming is that there is always room for improvement. There is no better feeling in the world than to go a best time, and I would really enjoy having a few of those moments this year.
