About Todd Mabry, DDS

[]Dr. Todd Mabry earned his bachelor of science degree in biology from the University of Arizona in May 1995. He then graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in May 1999. After receiving his doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree, he completed his residency in Southern California specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry. Upon completion of his studies, Dr. Mabry returned home to Arizona and opened his Scottsdale practice in March 2003.

[]Dr. Mabry was raised in Phoenix and enjoys volunteering in the local community. He is a volunteer dentist at the John C. Lincoln Children’s Dental Clinic, where his father has been a practicing physician at the hospital for more than 30 years. Dr. Mabry is also involved in the Give Kids a Smile® program through the Arizona Dental Association that provides dental care to underserved children. Furthermore, he is on the Board of Smile Beyond the Bars—a non-profit, faith-based organization committed to changing the lives of former inmates by enhancing the appearance of their smiles with dental implants and various other tooth restoration options. In 2017, he was presented a “Smile Maker Award” for the exceptional care he provided as part of Smile Beyond the Bars.

Dr. Mabry is an Arizona licensed dentist and an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental Association, Arizona Dental Association, Spear Dental Study Club and Spear Continuing Education Center. He has also been recognized as a Top Dentist by Phoenix Magazine in 2014 and 2015, and he regularly lectures to dental hygiene students about restorative dentistry. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, road biking, mountain biking, running, swimming, hiking, skiing and generally enjoying the outdoors and spending time with his wife, family and friends.

For each and every individual, Dr. Mabry takes a big picture approach to dental care, aiming to promote long-term stability and oral health. Whether you are experiencing dental pain, seeking to resolve chronic bad breath or wanting to improve the appearance and/or function of your teeth, Dr. Mabry will treat you with the care and compassion you deserve while helping you achieve exceptional, lasting results.

My experience with this practice has been totally positive. Every person in this group – from the receptionist to Dr. Mabry – is friendly, positive and concerned about each patient’s comfort and knowledge of the procedures. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a positive experience with dentistry!

Dr. Mabry’s Passion For Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Mabry discovered his passion for dentistry by accompanying his mother—who was a dental hygienist in the Valley—to her job when he was a kid. He was always intrigued with the work she performed as well as what the dentist was able to do for patients in a single day. This experience, combined with his love of working with his hands, led Dr. Mabry to pursue a career in dentistry, which he finds to be an incredibly fulfilling profession.

In Dr. Mabry’s free time, he enjoys golfing, road biking, mountain biking, running, swimming, hiking, skiing and generally enjoying the outdoors and spending time with his wife, family and friends.

Dr. Todd Mabry is an Arizona licensed dentist and an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental Association and Arizona Dental Association. He has also been recognized as a Top Dentist by Phoenix Magazine in 2014 and 2015.

  “I love cosmetic dentistry and being able to improve a patient’s smile! People who smile with confidence don’t really understand what it’s like to avoid smiling because of a cosmetic issue. Throughout my years in practice, I’ve come to truly appreciate what these individuals feel on a daily basis, and being able to hear them say something like, ‘I have not been able to smile like this ever!” after seeing their transformation is very rewarding.”

A cosmetic dentist has training in general and restorative treatments but is also specialized in cosmetic techniques that are designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile. Oral health should always be considered the foundation of beautiful teeth and gums. Using state-of-the-art solutions such as porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns, cosmetic dentists can use their honed artistic skill to rejuvenate the appearance of the smile with natural-looking results. By choosing a cosmetic dentist, you can feel confident that both the function and the form of your smile will be considered during your dental treatments.

Questions To Ask Your Cosmetic Dentist

Choosing the best cosmetic dentist for your needs can have a significant impact on your satisfaction. Not all cosmetic dentists have the same educational background, experience or credentials. Spend some time researching your potential dentists. To help you in this endeavor, Dr. Mabry has compiled a list of questions to ask your cosmetic dentist during your initial appointment:

-   Which cosmetic procedure or procedures do you perform the most frequently?
-   What area of dentistry did you focus on during your education?
-   Are you involved in any continuing education coursework to remain up-to-date with the latest techniques and technology?
-   Are you a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)?
-   Do you have before-and-after photos of previous patients?
-   Are there any oral health treatments that should be performed before my cosmetic procedure?
-   What dental laboratory do you partner with, and what materials are used to make restorations like veneers and crowns?
-   How long can I expect the results of my cosmetic dentistry procedure to last?
-   How much will my procedure cost?
-   Do you offer any dental financing options?

At the end of your preliminary consultation, you should feel comfortable with your cosmetic dentist and confident in his or her ability to meet your expectations. If you have any reservations, do not hesitate to continue your search for a cosmetic dentist who is better suited for you.

If you would like to ask Dr. Mabry a question regarding your personal dental history, cosmetic dentistry and techniques, or general dental hygiene, please feel free to send him an e-mail by visiting our website’s “Contact Us” page.

  This week the usually calm waters of Lake Natoma under the Rainbow Bridge are a boil.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Northern California, we have been riding the "atmospheric river" since last weekend. For boaters,  it's a Class 5 like a waterfall that has swelled the state's rivers, flooded neighborhoods, and vineyards, all while dumping snow and rain on the Sierra Nevada Mountains and causing mudslides on hills scorched by summer's wildfires.

An atmospheric river is long and narrow bands of water vapor that form over an ocean and flow through the sky. Massive quantities of Pacific Ocean water
from as far away as Hawaii have pummeled California with a series of storms like a long blast from a fire hose.

Blizzard conditions forced road closures to many of Lake Tahoe's ski resorts that had to shut down and dig-out after being buried in snow. Nine feet fell in over three days at Kirkwood Mountain Resort in California making it the snowiest January in 45 years. Most of the ski resorts it looks like will try to open at least some terrain this weekend.

The Yuba River rose again to a little over 85 feet in Marysville California, while the South Fork of the American River are creating “once-in-a-decade” conditions on the American River for expert kayakers like Dylan Nichols. “We don’t have the option to run it this high maybe but once in a decade," Nichols told _ABC10_, "So it’s special for us local paddlers to be able to come out and take advantage of it,” Nichols and other expert kayakers paddled on the river from Chili Bar Park in Placerville California to where the water pours into Folsom Reservoir. He estimated the flow at 20,000 cubic feet per second, compared to a normal pace of anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 cubic feet per second.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

“It’s extremely unusual conditions,” professional kayaker Isidro Soberanes told _ABC10,_ “It gives me the opportunity to experience a river I know really well at extremely high, high levels. Basically, I’m expecting to paddle some of the biggest rapids I’ve paddled in California.”

To see their trip down the South Fork, check out this link.  http://www.abc10.com/news/local/american-rivers-once-in-a-decade-conditions-draw-thrill-seeking-kayakers/385347076

Folsom Lake continues to rise with the week's rains, as water managers releasing even more water downstream.  Early this week the lake's water level stood at 422 feet elevation rising 13.5 feet higher than what it was 5 hours earlier. As the lake becoming fuller, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation opened five floodgates at Folsom Dam and 18 gates at Nimbus Dam releasing the water downstream.

Due to releases and rain, the usual peaceful waters of Lake Natoma under Folsom's Rainbow Bridge became a violent torrent at the entrance to the lake. While downstream large sections of the American River Parkway and several popular Sacramento County parks were closed earlier this week after days of rainfall and heavy releases from reservoirs flooded recreation areas around the region.

The Jim Jones footbridge, one parkway’s biggest popular attractions for boaters, fishermen and summertime rafters at the Sunrise Recreation Area, remains underwater this week as the American River gushes over it. Meanwhile, much of the western half of the parkway, Discovery Park to about Watt Avenue, also will remain inaccessible for the time being due to flood waters.

While most atmospheric river events are weak. But the powerful ones like the one that just targeted California this week, can transport an amount of water vapor equal to 15 times the average flow of water that flows out of the Mississippi River's mouth, according to NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory. This drenching is good news that might help bring a dramatic turnaround for the state's water supply after more than five years of drought.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What has caused the heavy downpours in Northern California?

answer: The heavy downpours in Northern California are the result of an atmospheric river. This is long and narrow bands of water vapor that form over an ocean and flow through the sky.

answer: There has been an atmospheric river in the air above the area. An atmospheric river consists of long and narrow bands of water vapor that form over an ocean and flow through the sky. Massive quantities of Pacific Ocean water from as far away as Hawaii have pummeled California with a series of storms like a long blast from a fire hose.

answer: This is probably due to an atmospheric river.

answer: An atmospheric river event has caused the heavy downpours in Northern California, causing rivers to flood and mudslides on hills scorched by summer's wildfires.

answer: A weather phenomenon known as an atmospheric river caused the heavy downpours.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe the consequences of the atmospheric river.

answer: River flows increases, causing mudslides and flooding, spoiling previously tranquil waters, and trapping parks and gardens underwater.

answer: The atmospheric river has resulted in major flooding conditions in Northern California, inundating rivers, neighborhoods, and vineyards, along with causing mudslides on hills scorched by summer's wildfires. The powerful event has brought a dramatic turnaround for the state's water supply after more than five years of drought.

answer: It flooded the Sierra Nevada Mountains and sparked the closure of dozens of ski resorts.

answer: The atmospheric river has caused flooding, closed roads and recreational areas, and has caused an unusually high water level in Folsom Lake. The consequences involve destruction and disruption of travel and recreation.

answer: Neighborhoods and vineyards in Northern California have been flooded. Snow and rain have been dumped onto the Sierra Nevada Mountains, causing mudslides. Roads were closed to many of the Lake Tahoe ski resorts which have seen as much as 9 feet of snow in three days. The Yuba River rose again to a little over 85 feet in Marysville California and the American River is pumping.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How do the kayakers benefit from these unusual conditions?

answer: The kayakers benefit from the unusual conditions due to increased rapids and flow rates in the rivers of Northern California. This gives them the opportunity to experience bigger rapids and faster-moving water than what would normally occur.

answer: The kayakers are ecstatic. Expert kayakers see this as an opportunity to enjoy the thrill of rapidly running waters. They can paddle rivers that they know but at much higher levels and with rapids higher than they would commonly experience.

answer: They get to experience some of the greatest rapids they have ever seen.

answer: Kayakers get the opportunity to go kayaking on rapids they have never experienced before.

answer: The kayakers benefit from these unusual conditions by paddling some of the biggest rapids they've ever seen. This event gives them an opportunity to experience something rare and exciting.

In spite of the distance and the obstacles in between, the man could still hear muffled voices coming from outside. The sounds reach through the door, having already gone past the thick blue curtain that he will soon pass. The man rubs his hands together, and mutters to himself, that he will not cry, he will not cry, he will not cry. He paces inside the waiting room. So quiet, but considering the walls, there must be thousands of them watching. He sits down on the small chair provided, then immediately gets up and resumes pacing. He knows some of the ones outside want to see him fail. He can imagine their cutting words- so casually cruel, they will grab hold of anything at all, his hair, his weight, whatever it takes to reduce him. So he says to himself: a giant attracts many stones.

There is a round mirror on the wall, in front of the man's inhaler, his lucky dice and the baseball cap he's worn to every game since he was thirteen years old. He tries to avoid his reflection. Even back when he was thirteen he took it more seriously than the others. Over a decade of people telling him he wasn't good enough. Countless memories of mockery and naysayers. Oh god what are they saying outside? He wonders if she's there- I mean no chance, he rebukes himself for daring to hope. Too late, the flame catches, and it's igniting- that enthusiastic voice inside himself says: She's there. She'll be watching, even if she doesn't understand. Besides they may mock him, sure, they always have. But they aren't up here. And also, some of them will cheer.

A lot of them will cheer.

The man punches his hand, once, twice, three times. The same old sweat on his forehead. Music plays inside his mind- old tunes, like the sound of horns. Battle songs. His heart is racing, chest bursting, the fear is cackling now. He goes towards the door of the trailer, puts one clammy hand on the steel knob and turns. Sound rushes past him, fills the empty place he's leaving. This is it, this is the point. This is everything he's ever wanted. He approaches the velvet wall. The curtain is there, soft beneath his clammy hand- big and blue, and behind that the spectators. He waits. He's got to wait for his turn now. The fear grabs at his gut, and pummels him with questions- what if's. What if you forget the build. What if you're too slow. What if you slip and what if you choke. There are no two ways around it, he either clenches hard, somewhere inside, and lets the doubts have their moment, or he finds some kind of inspiration to override the niggling fears. He is a samurai preparing for battle.

The voice that led him all the way here says: In order to win you must be prepared to die.

Everyone told him it was just a game. He always knew it wasn't just a game. It was The Game. He's died so many times, and he's always felt it. The man is prepared. Now, thousands of people outside sit on the edge of their plastic chairs, hoping or cursing him. And all smiling with anticipation. His name is called, through the velvet curtain. Not the name his parents gave him but the one he defined, the one he chose, the one that people know, even if they've never seen his face, when his name comes up on the screen they know. They call his name. The curtain begins to part so slowly, and for a moment the entire thing overwhelms him. He never dared to dream, as he spent so many sleepless nights training, that one day he would be here, at the top. A history of insults, of self-doubt, of tears that no one thought were worthy of shedding and finally....

Big bright white stars on his face. He resists the urge to bring up an arm. They told him during the rehearsal that there would be a glare. The what if's stop. The fear settles, coils, hardens into that adrenaline moment, that sheer edge. That's his blade- concentration, skill, and courage. He walks towards his seat. An ocean of cheers vibrate around him, flowing like a cape. All that he's worked for, and still, it isn't enough. He's not the best yet. Not unless he wins. He takes his seat in front of the computer. Puts on his headphones and gives his mouse a few clicks. He couldn't explain to most people how the game works.  The voice says: Just like cricket. Or ice hockey. Or shogi. The man couldn't easily explain about last hitting, or micro, or good opening strategy. He couldn't tell a layperson exactly what he was about to do- only someone that played might understand.

And yet as the crowd began to coil, into silence, and wait, he realized that right now, for these few minutes, he shared a moment with champions. With anyone that's ever had to contend with the exhilaration and the final challenge. For a moment he was kin to boxers, gladiators, olympians and chess masters. With anyone that has had to measure a lifetime against one opponent. The man's opponent takes his seat, receives his share of cheers. His opponent is the only reflection worth comparing himself to. The man imagines she's watching, and even if she does not understand the game, she'll understand what this is like- the moments before.

He nods, and types: GL HF.

The rules are different. The game is different. The feelings have always been the same.

He smiles, feeling the phantom hands of winners on his shoulder.

In front of thousands, with his headphones on he mouths:

Let's dance.

text: The model's response is a direct copy of the passage and lacks clarity.

refinement: The man is worried about messing up and losing the challenge. He is worried about being slow, forgetting the build, and choking.

What is the man preparing to do?

answer: The man is preparing to play a game in front of thousands of onlookers.

answer: He's preparing to compete

answer: He is preparing to play a computer game in front of thousands of people, including his crush.

text:
'He is preparing to play a computer game in front of thousands of people, including his crush.'
There is no evidence in the passage that shows his crush was among the crowd. The gamer was only hoping she was present.

refinement: He is preparing to play a computer game in front of thousands of people, including his crush, whom he hopes will watch him.

text: " that enthusiastic voice inside himself says: She's there." This is likely evidence that the girl he mentions is his crush.

answer: The man is preparing to play a game of video games. The crowd awaits in anticipation, while the man faces inner fears, doubts, and worries. But he must fight through those things in order to show his skill, and to potentially emerge victorious.

text:
'...a game of video games.' This is a repetition.
'...and to potentially emerge victorious.' 'Victorious' should be 'victoriously.'

answer: The man preparing to play a video game.

text: The sentence is missing 'is' here, 'The man preparing to...'

refinement: The man is preparing to play a video game.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer: The man is nervous before a big gaming competition. He hears the muffled cheers of a crowd outside as he prepares to compete. He tells himself he will not cry even though he knows many of the spectators want to see him fail. He looks in the mirror and realizes this is everything he's ever wanted. As he walks to his seat, the cheers of the audience energize him and give him courage for the fight. The man focuses on the opponent in front of him, knowing this is a moment shared by champions, and types "GL HF" before the game begins.

text:
'...cheers of the audience...' This is wordy.
'...many of the spectators...' This is also wordy.

refinement: The man is nervous before a big gaming competition. He hears the muffled cheers of a crowd outside as he prepares to compete. He tells himself he will not cry even though he knows many spectators want to see him fail. He looks in the mirror and realizes this is everything he's ever wanted. As he walks to his seat, the audience's cheers energize him and give him courage for the fight. The man focuses on the opponent in front of him, knowing this is a moment shared by champions, and types "GL HF" before the game begins.

answer:
A man is sitting in front of a monitor with various games running. It seems he is organized competitions before. After a lot of ridicule and naysaying, the voices gradually fade out.

He is nervous because it is not a common sport, or game that he is doing. A man after him awaits his computer screen and has someone in the background taking pictures.

A voice guides him into the big bright white light and this is it; this is everything he's ever wanted.

text:
'A man is sitting in front of a monitor with various games running.' This is inaccurate because there is no mention of the monitor having various games running.
'It seems he is organized competitions before.' Incorrect verb form.
'A man after him awaits his computer screen and has someone in the background taking pictures.' This is inaccurate as there is no mention of such in the passage.
'A voice guides him into the big bright white light...' This is also inaccurate.

refinement:
A man is preparing to play the finals of a video game competition. It appears he has competed in previous games prior. For decades, he had to suffer mockeries and naysayers telling him he wasn't good enough.

Because of this, he is nervous and wonders if he will slip up. Soon, his name is called, and he is cheered by the crowd waiting patiently to watch him either win or lose. Finally, he settles into his seat with his monitor and headphones; this is the moment for which he has been waiting.

answer: A professional gamer gets ready to play in the finals of a video game championship against another finalist. While waiting for his introduction to the main stage, he thinks about his life, how he got to where he is, his fears, and what drives him to succeed. He thinks about the crowd and how some would cheer while others would rebuke with pettiness. The gamer wishes his love interest was watching, even if she doesn't understand the game. His name is called and he steps into the glaring lights of the stage. He's ready.

text:
'The gamer wishes his love interest was watching,'
"He wonders if she's there- I mean no chance, he rebukes himself for daring to hope. Too late, the flame catches, and it's igniting- that enthusiastic voice inside himself says: She's there."
This quote is likely evidence that the girl mentioned is his love interest.

answer: The narrator is having a breakout career in video gaming. He's nervous, but confident he'll make it. Part of his confidence comes from knowing he has come a long way and has an army of supporters. He puts on his headphones and properly plays the game. He wins.

text:
'...and has an army of supporters.' There is no mention of any army of supporters, given that he has had naysayers tell him for decades that he wasn't good enough.
'He wins.' The story ends with the players beginning the game. How does the model know he won when it was not mentioned?

refinement: The narrator is having a breakout career in video gaming. He's nervous but confident he'll make it. Part of his confidence comes from knowing he has come a long way and the feeling of phantom hands of winners on his shoulder. He puts on his headphones and types in GL HF to his opponent. The game begins.

answer: The man stands at the edge of the trailer's waiting room, steeling himself as he prepares for the championship game. It is both his passion and his obsession. The voices of doubt fill his mind but he brushes them aside and takes his seat. Before him is his opponent at the computer and thousands of onlookers. As the game begins, the man feels kinship with all those who have ever endured such an exhilarating challenge. In spite of the external pressure, he takes joy in the game itself and smiles at the thought of his opponent. Against all odds, he is determined to win.

text:
'...the man feels kinship...' This is missing an article between 'feels' and 'kinship.'
'In spite of...' This is wordy and should be replaced with something shorter.

I honestly don't know how long I've been sitting here, waiting. It's getting kinda cold but the sky's still blue, almost as blue as the ocean. I've only been there once, when I tried running away from home and I saw a sliver of it behind the buildings. Then my aunt found me and her tears washed the ocean away.

I check my watch. I don't remember when I got here. Let's guess a few hours. I've seen the same old man hobble by around five times. I don't know if he's trying to look at me or what.

My legs have fallen asleep. I shift my weight and ow, ow, ow, pain is shooting up my body. I know it'll fade in a couple minutes, but I'm almost in tears. It hurts.

The more I think about it, it's not about my legs. It's everything- something's come into my life and tinted it all gray. Even silver linings are pretty slim: my friends don't have time for me and I can't say I care too much for them either. At one point they just became background noise. Hung out without me, had conversations that left me out. Bang, bang, hey, I'm still here.

Got no talents, got no friends. Just this promise that I'm banking on and sore feet. I walked all the way here and now my legs have fallen asleep. Tears are sticking to my cheeks. Hell, I probably look a lot grubbier than I usually do. Dirty cheeks and hair, gold jewelry in my pocket. I can sell it if I have to, if he decides that we're running off somewhere. He's not the kind of guy to just drop everything and run off, though, while I'm kind of like that. Just run. Or drive.

I imagine he's talking to me. About the ocean, and the future. The future is this big, grim shadow looming over my head but when he talks about it, he's got it all planned out. It's simple. He'd say, "Hey, five seconds ago, when you came over, that was the past. And five seconds from now, it'll be the future and we're going to still be sitting together, right? The future'll become the present. That's not too scary, right? Too fast for you to even notice it."

Right. But he's not sitting next to me now and everything's gray. The future is scarier - will it go by so fast I'll miss it? Suddenly I'll be some hunched old crone, trying to remember, what happened at the bus stop that day? Or maybe I'll be sitting here forever.

Why didn't I bring my phone? I could really use some music right now. No lyrics are coming to mind; the whine of cars is too loud. I curl up on the bench and squeeze my eyes shut.

It's even darker under my eyelids. When I was little, I wasn't really scared of the dark; I wanted to know why the monsters under my bed didn't want to talk to me. I thought, why don't they like me either? We're supposed to be alone together.

Footsteps -- his car -- no, it isn't him. But he'll come. He's just running late, I know it. I've sat up so fast that my head is spinning.

He likes my hair. My face. He says I have funny arms. I don't get how you can have funny arms, so I told him he can't talk because he has a crooked nose. He'd shrugged. Loads of people have crooked noses according to him. It just makes him blend in more.

He says I'm smart for my age. He won't let me down, he wouldn't dare. I hope I'm smart enough to be right about this.

What did my sister say about him? I think she likes him. Actually I'm pretty sure she does. She's always turning red and speaking really, really softly when he's around. But there was something she'd said about him, something that was odd, twisted, and true - what is it?

This'll bother me all day. The cars speeding by are starting to blend together into this black streak. No red. Not even white.

At least it isn't gray. I can't remember if his eyes are blue or gray - or what the rest of his face looks like. Suddenly he's a blur just like everything else.

Is he just someone I've imagined? Am I waiting for someone who'll never show up? I don't even have my phone to see the words he's written me. But those could've been imagined too, maybe.

Everything's just one big maybe. Maybe he'll show up and maybe my aunt will be here too. Maybe she'll wash the ocean away again.

My sister. Cute little idiot. Where's she? Probably thinking I'm in a mood again.

One, two, three, four, five. I'm in the future. The present.

Whatever. He still isn't here.

text: I'm reminded of a time at a Home Depot in Salt Lake City. I was visiting family and realized that I had a situation that was going to be resolved in short order. I could tell immediately that the terms of the resolution could be set by me or the other concerned party. Either way, I was a ticking time bomb. After sanitarily situating myself upon the available depository, I realized that I had a neighbor. Like me, he was also attempting to remedy his plight with the utmost of auditory discretion. I was aware that I was engaged in an epic battle of wills. I was determined to see my adversary committed to the murky depths (without an utterance on its part) when I arrived on the scene, but as events unfolded I was quickly made aware of the fact that I was hopelessly outmatched. Evidently the co-inhabitant of the room was blessed with better fortune than I. He had completed his task in exemplary fashion. It was at such time that my condition had come to a head. All time stood still. The uncontrollable breach was imminent. I knew that the anonymous person adjacent to me was aware, on some level, of my situation due to imperfections in my performance caused by the desperation that had seized me. It was then that I knew, the battle was lost. My thoughts turned to the kamikaze pilots of the Great War. Without thinking I said aloud, " You know what? I'm just gonna let this thing go." With that, I simultaneously collapsed containment and summoned every ounce of strength I had in me. I bore down on my assailant with all my might. The resulting explosion of material, coupled with the massive shock wave of water, was deafening. Silence took the room. I was lost in an eternity of defeat. It was then that the satisfaction and peace washed over me like a warm gentle wave of the sea on a sandy beach. I knew I had lost touch with reality. I was being tugged back to my senses by a mysterious and rhythmic hissing. As my wits returned to me, I could hear the sound coming from my left, just on the other side of the steel partition. The source of hissing sound became apparent to me. Laughter. Laughter from someone overwhelmed by the sensory bouquet that had consumed the entire space only moments earlier. Our somewhat shared experience had obviously overloaded every synapse in his head and his brain was struggling to process what his senses had portrayed to him. By now it was apparent that he was so tightly gripped by the involuntary response that he was having trouble catching his breath. After a few moments he seemed able to collect himself enough to wash his hands and make an exit that was honestly not hasty enough for my taste. None the less I remained in solitude for another few minutes to ensure that my identity remained hidden upon my egress from this gastrointestinal colosseum of terrors. It was a learning experience to be sure. Sometimes a man can only do so much to defend his public image in the face of great adversity.

title: A humorous and irreverent tale of a desperate man.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe what happens to the narrator, in simple terms.

answer: The narrator finds himself in need of a restroom at a Home Depot. Upon finding one, he realizes that he has a rival in occupying the bathroom. Determined not to lose the battle, the narrator creates an explosive release of waste. The resulting sound shocks the rival who is able to laugh at the mess, embarrassing the narrator.

answer: The narrator relieves himself by having an unexpected bowel movement while stuck in a line at a Home Depot bathroom.

text: It's pretty clear in the text that the author needs to use the bathroom and it's an emergency.

refinement: The narrator requires urgent relief from an impending bowel movement and manages to arrive at it.

answer: The narrator rushes to the restroom in order to relieve himself of an urgent need. The man sits on the toilet and then proceeds to poop, loudly. The narrator then feels embarrassed when another person in the room begins to laugh at him.

answer: The man spills digestive procedures (frankly speaking) and then it exploded.

text: You could say he had to use the bathroom at Home Depot. The last sentences doesn't sound right because we don't know what "it" refers to.

Overall, the narrator views his bowel movement as a negative and burdensome occurrence.

answer: He describes it on the same terms as a kamikaze pilot.

answer: He describes his bowel movement as an "uncontrollable breach".

answer: The narrator describes his bowel movement as being unpleasant and desperate.

answer: He describes it as "an explosion of material"

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How does the other person in the room react?

answer: The person in the room laughter after the man lets go. Later, after the man escapes, the other person is shaky on the toilet and perhaps gazing back at the toilet, or shaking his hands to turn the water off.

answer: More laughter.

answer: Initially, the other person in the room is perplexed by the commotion of the eruption, but he quickly realizes the cause and loses control with laughter. The laughter signifies that the man who created the mess had lost the battle by letting go of any attempt to maintain decorum.

answer: The other person in the room laughs uncontrollably upon seeing the results of the protagonist's actions.

answer: The otehr person laughs and then takes their time to leave the room.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: A man relieves himself loudly in a restroom with another person present. After loudly letting himself go, the other person laughs and then leaves. The man waits a little while and then leaves as well.

answer: The protagonist tells the story of an occasion when he was forced by desperation to relieve himself in the middle of a Home Depot. He overheard an onlooker laugh at him as he bombarded the toilet with explosive waste. While the protagonist was ultimately defeated in this battle, he learned some lessons along the way.

answer: The author reminisces about his desperate and noisy use of a toilet at a home depo in Utah at a time he had to go urgently, after which a neighbour such facts. He felt somewhat embarrassed knowing that someone was aware of what he'd done, but the humour in the situation made him laugh as he left the bathroom. The bathroom door made an audible sound effect as it closes, leading the author to believe that the neighbour also laughed at his expense (bringing it all around).

answer: The story of a man visiting Utah who has to urinate and uses the restroom facilities at Home Depot. This story describes a battle of wills between this man and someone else who is using the facilities. The other person realizes this man is desperate because of the noises he has been making and starts laughing.

answer: This story follows a desperate man who ventures into a Home Depot bathroom while overcome with diarrhea and is quickly outmatched by a more successful neighbor. The man starts to panic and yells out that he is just going to let this happen. The resulting explosion of poop is deafening, and the man is left in defeat. He is joined in his misery by an anonymous neighbor, who starts to laugh at the hilarious and unfortunate situation.


text:
It was the night she moved out of Belltown, after breaking up with her boyfriend.

“Hey, can you help me move my dog up to my dad’s place? I don’t have a car, and I don’t want to be on the bus for four hours,” she said over the phone, her voice tired and a bit sheepish.

“Of course,” I said, “I have time to kill tonight.” Never mind that I would pay nearly any price to see her, or make any excuse, or drive to any location for her – tonight, it happened to be true.

So naturally, I drove to her apartment at the base of Queen Anne, right where it starts to blend into Belltown. The roads shimmered under the veil of a fresh rain, and the sky smelled of western winds and the sound. It didn’t take long to load her dog up into my car. We pulled out, driving down Aurora toward 85th, the corgi panting breathlessly against the backseat windows.

I cannot recall what we talked about. Whatever empty words were exchanged in that transit, they have been burned away by the later events of that night. It was likely about her work, and where she would be moving to, and what her schedule would be. Soon, we’d arrived, and delivered her dog to her dad’s house. Standing around outside afterward, we were both too awkwardly needy of the other to say goodbye.

“Hey,” she said, “Let’s go get a drink down the street at Gainsbourg! It’s named after my favorite French guy.”

“Sure,” I said, “I have time to kill, and I wanna hang out with you.”

“Aww, that’s sweet!” she said, elbowing me gently in the ribs.
I winked at her, and accepted the cigarette she’d produced, popping it my mouth with a salute.

As we walked down the street, the stoplights and neon beer signs reflected off the puddles in the street and upon the sidewalk, washing everything in garish colors and a carnival atmosphere. Her hair, brilliantly red against her white sweater, swung to and fro as she skipped a few feet ahead of me. After a moment, she looked back and winked at me. I flushed, but winked back.

“Hey,” she said, walking backwards, “You’re pretty great, you know that?”

I didn’t have a sensible response, but it didn’t matter. She grabbed my hand and bolted across the street, our feet throwing up cascades of water droplets that glowed against the neon signs, dodging traffic as we went.

Gainsbourg was mostly dark wood, with the copper fitments of antique espresso machines thrown in against keg taps. I liked it immediately, not only because of the décor, but because the bartender nodded at us and welcomed her back.

“What will you have?” asked the bartender, regarding the two of us. I ordered a sazerac, and she ordered a French 75. We talked about nothing for a time,
I felt the toe of her shoe press against bottom of my foot, and then slide to one side. The sides of our feet pressed together, and I froze. Whatever I was saying stumbled over itself, words slowing to a crawl, only to die slowly inside my mouth. I dipped my head and shifted my leg, so that our calves pressed against each other, and heard her catch her breath in response.

It felt as if tongues of electricity licked the length of my spine. This long-anticipated touch – this sense of total awareness of her body against mine – had shuttered my ability to function as a person. That sensation expanded to become the sum total of everything in my world, blotting out sound, and sight, and smell, until the only thing that remained part of my existence were the places where the two of us touched.

I put my sazerac down, because my hands had started to shake.

“What are we doing?” I asked, licking my lips.

“I don’t know,” she said, “But I don’t want it to stop.”

There was a silence which stretched out in all directions. Even the bartender seemed to stop what she was doing, so many feet down the bar.

“I don’t want it to either. I need to be near you,” I said.

She dipped her head. Lifting one hand, she dropped her face into her palm and rested it there. I heard a quiet exclamation of ‘Jesus Christ’ slip out of her mouth. I placed my hands flat on the bar as I felt the toe of her shoe slide up the length of my calf, and turned to regard the rain falling washing over the sidewalk outside.

When I turned back, she was staring straight at me. I cocked my head in query.

“I love you so much,” she said. “How did I let you slip away? How did I forget how important you were to me?”

“I don’t know,” I replied. “But I love you more than I know how to explain. I’m caught in orbit around you, and your gravity refuses to let me go.”

We finished our drinks, and walked back to the car. In the alley between the street and her dad’s house, she pressed herself against me, smelling of coconut and tobacco.

“It’s so dark here…” she murmured. “Anything could happen.”

At the suggestion, I stopped. Shaking my head slowly, I put my arms around her waist, and pressed my cheek against her forehead.

“No. Not anything,” I whispered.

As we drove back toward Queen Anne, I pressed the accelerator to the floor of the car. The flat six leapt in response, purr of the cylinders turning to a growl as our speed crept up. Fourty. Fifty. Sixty. As I settled out at seventy, Billy Idol sang of Flesh for Fantasy, and Eyes Without a Face. She squealed happily, squeezing her fingers around my arm until it started to sting.

As we turned off Aurora, she released her grip and slid her fingers into mine; our grip was rigor mortis. Letting go of the other would have been a betrayal and admission of wrongdoing, and neither of us was prepared to admit what we felt was wrong. It was too present, too ready, and too powerful.

As I pulled to a stop in front of her apartment, I put the car in park, and turned to look at her. I was going to say something silly and endearing, but the words died in a hum on my lips. Silence. And then our lips were together, arms wrapping around the other as words fled entirely, replaced by a language older and more primal. Her tongue upon mine, my fingers knitting into her hair. The moment stretched out across perceptible time, until we finally drew back.

“Will I see you tomorrow?” I asked.

“Definitely,” she said, winking at me. “Are you sure you can’t come upstairs?”

“I’m positive,” I said. And sadly, I was.

All that remains of her is ash pressed into the shape of a crystal heart, her body long gone, and her laugh a distant memory. Everywhere I go in this city, I hear the echo of her voice with every clink of a glass. Every darkened space holds her shadow, and every street corner is painted with a memory of her. I have no idea how I get by moment to moment without falling to my knees.

All I can say is that life passes moment to moment, and every moment without her, I feel like I’ve lost a limb.

AFTER SEEING HOW A SODA CAN TAPED TO THE STEERING WHEEL TRANSFORMS THE MERCEDES S-CLASS INTO AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, THE OWNER OF THIS INFINITI MUST HAVE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF: _"HOLD ON, MY CAR IS JUST AS TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED AS ANYTHING THE GERMANS MAKE. WHY DON'T I TRY THAT AS WELL?"_

And he did, with quite amazing results. This Austrian fellow discovered he doesn't even need to stick a can of soda to the steering wheel to simulate a driver's hand. The Infiniti is fine with taking care of the steering for you, even in the relatively unsafe circumstance where you've completely let go of the controls.

After that, the driver decided to take things even further by becoming a passenger. And what do you know? The Q50 isn't even phased by not feeling the weight of the driver on the seat. It simply continues gliding down the highway at some speed. Tchaikovsky's _Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy_ (has been changed to Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner) and the fact that the car is going down the highway at 100 km/h really made out hair stand on end.

The Infiniti driverless stunt is sure to give people lots of crazy ideas. Who's to say you can't get into the car drunk, jump into the passenger seat and let the car cruise down the highway until you're home. And if the police do catch you, the case will probably take years to settle. And what happens if you jump out the window like that guy in the i3 did? It will probably keep driving until it runs out of fuel, won't it? That's why we feel these assist systems that do everything for you aren't the most thought-out idea ever.
