Compared to the sleek Bohêmes, the Skate Banana (around $600; www.lib-tech.com) seems rough around the edges - but that's the point. Lib-Tech, a U.S.-based design company, last year introduced what it calls "magnetraction technology" - edges that are serrated like a bread knife - and has combined it with a body curved to slide over powder and crud. The result is a snowboard that grips when you need it to and otherwise slips over everything like, yes, a banana peel.

...sleeve, constructed over many years with a characteristic mix of love and laziness by my grandmother, a woman who believed that all children needed one sweater knitted just for them but who also used knitting as an instant soporific after M*A*S*H repeats, a few crèmes de menthe and 40 or so cigarettes.

...pero su curr?culo es impresionante: siete per?odos en la C?mara de Representantes, embajador en las Naciones Unidas, secretario de Energ?a durante el gobierno de Bill Clinton y el a?o pasado, el primer hispano a la cabeza de la convenci?n dem?crata.

...became apparent that even thinking up new diversions and pandering to their juvenile interests were not going to create a roomful of Mini-Mes, little journalists in the making. So I considered another idea, “They’re kids.†If I wasn’t going to stop the complaints, I was going to distract them long enough to make a difference. In the process, I got to bask in a few triumphs. An excited huddle of campers playing word games like Scattergories or Wheel of Fortune almost forgot they were stuck...
