INPUT ARTICLE: Article: "Pushing" down with your feet causes the board to accelerate or decelerate. Push on your front foot to move forward and on your back foot to slow down, but only as much as the rope will allow. You want to ensure your chest is always over your toes, and you are utilizing your heel and toe edges to do the turning. Lean the way you want to turn-- if you are right footed and want to go right, lean into your heels. You are dipping a bit of the boards edge into the water in order to turn. The wake is the triangular surf behind the boat's engine, and it is often bumpy to ride behind. Turn your board out of the wake for the smooth waters on the sides, especially if you plan on trying out some "flat water" tricks. Be ready for a bump at the edge of the wake. While it can take some getting used to, having a solid core and slightly bent knees will work wonders. Once you're comfortable turning it is time to get some air. Get outside of the wake then turn quickly back towards it. Put light pressure on your back foot to push the nose in the air and keep your knees bent as you hit the wake, popping you into the air. Slightly extend your legs so that you can bend your knees on the landing, much like you would after jumping off a high ledge. Pull the rope in 2-3 inches to keep it tight as you start the jump. The form is the same for jumping on a skateboard, but it is still simple even if you've never skated. Get to some flat water either in the center of the wake or on the outside. Put pressure on your back foot so that the front sticks up out of the water, then use both feet to hop up, sucking the board up with you. The board should follow. Your feet will need to be back a bit so that the back foot is near the end of the board. . The mechanics of wakeskating are similar to skateboarding, so anyone with a background on a board can transition easily into the burgeoning watersport. Some tricks to try out include:  Riding one-handed. Spinning 180 or 360 degrees. Kickflip. Pop Shovit.

SUMMARY: Put pressure on your feet to move the board around. Lean into the edges to turn. Turn out of the wake for smoother skating. Use the edge of the wake like a ramp to get some air. Perform a simple ollie, or jump, in the water. Try out some skateboarding tricks


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Coffee freshness changes the moment the roasting process has completed. Buy coffee from a cafe that brews whole bean coffee, which retains more flavor when grinded. Local coffee shops are more likely to use whole beans than franchises, so frequent smaller, privately owned cafes. Black coffee has a bitter taste that can be unpleasant for new coffee connoisseurs. Add in a sweetener to your coffee if straight brews disgust you. Experiment with different sweeteners when ordering until you find the perfect balance.  If you want to branch out, try gourmet sweeteners like vanilla sugar, muscovado, raw sugar, or chocolate powder. Acidic, light roasts taste best with milk or cream, which dulls its bite while letting its delicate flavor come through. The degree to which a coffee is roasted changes its flavor.  Dark roasts (when the coffee beans are roasted until blackened) is generally more unpalatable for new coffee lovers. Start with the sweetest drinks (like mochas, cappuccinos, and frappuccinos) and move onto darker roasts as your palate changes. Light roasts retain the most caffeine, whereas darker roasts retain the least. If you're sensitive to caffeine, order a smaller cup. Making a morning ritual out of coffee drinking can accustom your tastebuds to the flavor. You'll also feel energized and ready to start your day. Try drinking coffee in the morning for a few weeks and see if you begin to enjoy it as a breakfast beverage. Like many acquired tastes, sometimes coffee takes time to warm up to. If you don't like your first drink, don't give up. All coffee blends taste differently: you may not have found the brew for you. If you've tried many different blends and still don't like coffee, you may just not have a taste for it. This is okay! Other beverages like tea, kombucha,  and green smoothies can have similar benefits.

SUMMARY: Taste fresh coffee. Add milk, cream, and/or sugar. Try lighter roasts. Add coffee to your regular morning routine. Give yourself time.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fine-patterned fishnets look elegant and classy rather than racy and flirty. Choose these if you want to create polished, professional outfits with fishnets. Look for a pattern of fishnet with a very small weave at most clothing and department stores. The smaller the pattern, the easier it is to suggest sophistication. There are all sorts of fishnet patterns to choose from! Go with an oval or circular shape for a subtle, classy style, or go for a diamond or abstract pattern for a touch of style and glam. With whatever pattern you choose, you can easily create elegant looks. Neutral-colored fishnets look best if you are wearing them to work, while running errands, or out to brunch. Pair your tights with other neutral-colored garments, such as denim, khaki, black, or navy.  For example, style brown fishnets with a brown skirt and a cream-colored blouse for a work-appropriate option. Wear nude fishnets with a black A-line skirt for an elegant accent. If you want to add a pop of color to your evening style, try blue, pink, or purple fishnets. This is a great idea if you are going out on a date, to a concert, or out to a club. To keep your outfit elegant, style your colored fishnets with neutral tops and bottoms. This way, you look mature and classy. If you wear colored tights during the day, it can look juvenile.

SUMMARY: Go with a fine mesh weave fishnet pattern. Choose from oval, circle, diamond, or abstract shaped tight patterns. Select black, brown, or nude fishnets to wear with daytime outfits. Choose colored fishnets for a flirty nighttime touch.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Say that you just met your friend for lunch and you're worried that you may have dominated the conversation ... again. Replay the lunch date in your head, resisting the urge to defend yourself. This will help you to see clearly whether or not you talk a lot in comparison to other people. Ask yourself some pointed questions, like:  "Who did most of the talking?" "Did we talk more about me or about my friend?" "How often did I interrupt my friend?" Think about the way you talk to everyone, including—but not limited to—your boss, co-workers, mother, and the restaurant staff. Do you open the conversation by jumping in with a funny story of your life and your observations without being asked? Or are you likely to ask someone a question and let them tell you a story, tell you about their life and their observations? Conversation is a balance between both participants, and although you should take Sheryl Sandberg's advice and lean in, you hog the limelight when you focus too much on yourself. The victims of rumors are sometimes people that most people find annoying. Though rumors can be about anyone since a lot of people find it satisfying to complain about people.

SUMMARY:
Assess your usual conversations. Don't limit these "replay sessions" to your social circle. Assess the way you are most likely to begin a conversation. See if others talk about you.
