Cutting, Felt, Hand Stitching, How-To-Projects, Lisa Storms,
Made of soft cozy fleece, they are a kid's camping essential.
Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
I am loving all of the fabric necklaces that have become popular and figured National Sewing Month was a good time to experiment myself! With fall right around the corner, I decided to try using warm, fuzzy felt to create necklaces for the season! It has long been one of my very favorite fabrics for fall crafting, plus I enjoy working with it since I never have to worry about fraying.
I figured leaves would be the perfect embellishment for a fall necklace and decided on a very simple leaf design to make the project super speedy. Here's how to make this five-leaf design:
1. Create a cardstock template. Punch an XL circle and feed back into punch for a leaf shape as shown.
2. Hold template against scrap of felt and cut out leaf. The Razor-edge Softgrip Scissors cut through felt like butter for a crisp edge. Repeat to create five total leaves.
3. Sew the five leaves together down the center using a sewing machine (or by hand). When you reach the end of the last leaf, leave the needle in the felt and turn the opposite direction and sew back along the same line. I sewed a total of three passes for extra strong construction. Tip: I found the easiest way to run the leaves through the sewing machine was to line them up on a sheet of paper to feed. When I was done, I gently tore the paper away from the back. Be sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of your leaf strip to secure. You can also sew veins onto your leaves for more detail.
4. Measure the length of your leaf strip. Subtract this number from the desired length of your necklace. This number is how long you will need your chain. Divide this number in half to determine how long each side of the chain will need to be. Take a blank chained necklace (mine was $2 at the craft store) and use wire cutters to cut the chain at the determined length from each side of the clasp. (The handy Cuts+More Scissors come with a wire cutter built in for convenience, along with many other function such as twine cutter and bottle opener.) Hand-sew one side of the chain to an ending leaf on the back and repeat on the other side. I sewed on the center line so my stitches would be hidden.
That is all there is to it! Super easy but so pretty and full of texture. Since it was so simple, I decided to keep going and change it up a little to try a pendant style. Here's how to make your own:
1. Cut two leaves in varying sizes and sew each down the center.
2. To create a more interesting edge, randomly cut around perimeter with just the tips of pinking shears.
3. Punch a 1/16 inch hole at the top of each leaf to insert a jump ring for attaching to chain. Be sure not to punch right by the edge or you'll risk tearing the felt. I added a simple bead to finish it off.
Now I'm completely addicted and ready to come up with new ways to add felt into my collection of fall jewelry!

Percentage of urban population resident in areas for days per year with SO2 concentration exceeding daily limit value, EEA member countries, 1996-2005
European data
Additional information
2: Over the years 1990-2005, the total population for which exposure estimates are made, increases from 62 to 122 million people due to an increasing number of monitoring station reporting air quality data. Year-to-year variations in exposure classes are partly caused by the changes in spatial coverage. The number of available data series varies considerably from year to year and is for the first part of the 90s insufficient. Availability of data before 1990 is too low to include in the indicator; data for non-EU countries is largely missing before 1995.

CATEGORIES New Releases, RumorMonger, Fandom, Tech Stuff, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalWhile Twitter continues to be the best way for Bieber fans to connect and for movie journalists to get into fights, it's obviously also an integral part of any online marketing strategy. But is it backfiring on the studios? Recently, director Adam McKay (The Other Guys, Anchorman) Tweeted, "So bummed. Paramount basically passed on Anchorman 2. Even after we cut our budget down. We tried." Then he added, "To all who asked: no we can't do Anchorman 2 at another studio. Paramount owns it." This, of course, turns into breaking news -- something I have a feeling that Paramount wasn't too keen on.
Another Twitterati (yes, you can kill me now for using that term), Ben Stiller, alluded to Zoolander 2's dubious future, writing, "Ron Burgundy and Derek Zoolander looking to appear in sequels. Both men destitute, without means or intellect to fund their own comebacks." These simple 140 characters probably caused a huge pain in the keister for both Paramount and Iron Man 2 writer Justin Theroux, who was just doing the press circuit for IM2, only to be asked by a ton of different outlets about Zoolander 2 (a legit question that any journalist would have taken the opportunity to ask about, of course).
Let's not forget the insider-y Tweets from earlier this year that Duncan Jones made about Sony Picture Classics' handling of Moon in regards to its Oscar push -- or obvious lack thereof -- as well as its overseas earnings in DVD sales a few months later. (More coverage here.) Of course, this led to SPC screening Moon for Oscar voters at the last minute and people like Jon Favreau, Neil Gaiman, and Jason Reitman lending support -- or in Reitman's case, obtaining a Blu-ray from SPC himself for a home screening. Did it make a difference in the end? Sadly, no, but who knows what future NDAs might hold for stars and directors when it comes to Twitter -- perhaps the same kind that journalists have to abide by?
That would be a shame, in my opinion, since not only are they a great source of news, but Twitter has enabled us to get a little taste of a filmmaker's day-to-day life that whets the appetite of the movie fan, whether it's snapshots from the first day on set or Favreau writing, "I can't sleep. The movie opens in less than 24 hours."
I'm fascinated by the intersection of Hollywood and technology, especially, as one expert in Adrian Grenier's doc Teenage Paparazzo discussed in relation to our celeb obsession, it only adds to our collective imagined relationships with people we've never met (aka "parasocial relationships"). Obviously, Twitter is not a real way to "know" Jon Favreau, Adam McKay, or Duncan Jones, even though it allows us, in some small measure, to communicate with them.
Do you follow your favorite directors on Twitter? Which ones? Do you think they're a legitimate source of breaking news?

Backpacker Magazine – May 2008
On this burly, 210-mile traverse, which crosses 33 passes and barely touches established trails, you can find Alaska-sized scenery, complete solitude, and just enough risk to keep things interesting.
Descending on easy trail, high on fresh air, I reflect on the Sierra, the most beautiful of ranges. The impact of its graceful aesthetic on visitors like John Muir almost singlehandedly created the modern environmental movement. And its recreational history goes back almost 150 years. Long before backpacking became a sport, people like Joseph Le Conte, Theodore Solomons, and Norman Clyde threw home on their backs and got lost here for weeks at a time.
Steve Roper, the father of the SHR, is a throwback to that era, and to the early days of the '70s backpacking boom. A Berkeley boy who became a Yosemite dirtbag climber, he betrays a bit of hippie still, sprinkling his sentences with 'mans' and frequent profanities.
"Climbing and hiking get you out into nature and away from these horrible f***ing cities, all that traffic and war and pestilence and sh**," he tells me when I call him for pre-trip beta. "It gets you out, and you're there, man."
I did the JMT about four years ago and we had 11 straight days of huge storms and torrential rain including three inches of hail. The river crossings were a nightmare, waist deep and bone chilling cold. Bear creek scared the hell out of me. It didnt stop raining until the day after Muir Ranch I have never been so wet nothing kept it out
The SHR does seem to be an epic trip. I lived in the Sierra for 10 years and I've lived in Colorado for the last 30 years. Many people in Colorado look at me askance when I tell them how nice the Sierra are. Not that the Colorado Rockies aren't very nice, but the Sierra has that long roadless area from Tioga Pass south. Most of the wilderness areas in Colorado are too small for extended trips (with the exception of two and RMNP). I go to the Winds for extended trips. Still, I miss that white granite, the jagged peaks and really great climate of the Sierra. Another comment, I guess that the author would have seen more people if he had gone a month earlier in the season.
As for all the aforementioned comments about lightning and thunderstorms, I strongly recomend reading Shattered Air: A True Account of Catastrophe and Courage on Yosemite's Half Dome by Bob Magic published in 2005. Too much to tell here, just read the editorial review at amazon.com. But basically it's the true story about five experienced hikers that got caught on top of Half Dome in 1985 during a summer thunderstorm when they were struck be lightning; two were killed and the other three sustained life threatning injuries. But the book also contains a wealth of information about everything a hiker/backpacked should know about lightning. Everyone thinks that finding shelter under, next to or near a big granite boulder or slab is a wise thing to do. Not so. Read the book.
I have been backpacking for the last two summers in high-school and I'm currently working on my orienteering skills. What can I do and what do I have to learn to have the skills to hike this trail when I am old enough? Thanks for the help!!
Two of my son's and I went to a remote lake up above Florence Lake in the West Sierras. The first night we went 1/2 the distance due to a late start then slept and broke camp early, and hiked to our destination. That afternoon at about 3pm it clouded up and began to lightly rain. By dusk we were hanging onto our tent polls. The wind kicked up and it hailed & rained so hard it sounded like it would come through the tent roof. The thunder and lightening were out of this world crazy. The rain stopped for an hour then began again the same as before. It didn't stop till midnight, also with thunder and lightening. All the streams around us swelled up to within 3' of our camp site. By morning all was well and we had a beautiful hike down. Caught (5) 16� Golden�s & (8) 12� Golden�s. I released all of them.
Mid-July, 2008, en route to Mearrian Lake, had to make emergency camp in four hour thunderstorm at Puppet Lake. We picked small depression between granite slabs between altitude stunted tiny gnarled conifers. Rain/hail started at 3:30 PM and was over at 7:30 PM. Resumed High Route trek in AM with no more rain. Feather Pass, Bear Lakes Basin and Gabbot Pass were absolutely glorious.
The JMT is lower, of course, but when I hiked it for 22 days in August, we got zero rain. I agree - if it doesn't start raining by 5pm, no problem.
No, and in my case, cuddle with your hiking partner of the same sex under a limp rain fly and wait it out with a Snickers bar. Seriously, though, thunderstorms in the Sierras are rare and only happen in the afternoon. Watch for buildups, plan accordingly, etc. If nothing's hit by evening, you're in the clear. I did the whole route this summer and we experienced this only once in the 23 days. For more info and learn how to stick it to VVR, email me at email@example.com
I'snt it dangerous to camp above treeline? What do you do in the case of a thunderstorm?

SHEFFIELD, Mass.¢ The fish was so big that it wouldnÆt fit through the 8-inch hole drilled in the ice on the Housatonic River.
ThatÆs why this man stuck his forearm into the icy waterway in Sheffield, Mass. to wrestle out aĀ35 3/4 inch, 32 pound, 2 ounce common carp.
The fish could be a world record for common carp catch and release ice fishing, a new fishing division without a current record holder.
ōIt takes about two to four weeks to verify the application,ö said Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame business manager Kathy Polich. ōIf everything checks out, he will have a world record.ö
Andrew Plumridge, a 41-year-old auditor for State Bank in Boston, was on his second-ever fishing trip. His first trip, also ice fishing, took place in the Berkshires last year. The huge carp was the second fish heÆs ever caught.
ōI havenÆt grown up fishing,ö said Plumridge, who is originally from the San Francisco area. ōA friend invited me to go fishing with Paul last year. I caught a pickerel, probably a couple of pounds.ö
PlumridgeÆs four-member fishing group had caught only three fish Friday before landing the carp. It took six hours between catches before they caught the huge fish.

ARLINGTON -- When Mark Joeckel of Arlington first heard about the Cleveland kidnapping case, he immediately thought of his teenage daughters -- and then he thought of his neighbors.
"It just hit me like a ton of bricks," he said. "That's when I started looking around and thinking, 'Wow, there are two front doors I've never been to within a block of myself."
So Joeckel has set about to change that, and is hoping to convince stand-offish North Texans to meet their neighbors.
In the days since the world learned three women were held in a Cleveland home for years without anyone noticing, the Arlington father and former pastor began going door-to-door in his neighborhood and simply introducing himself. The neighborhood leader is also encouraging his followers to do the same with the hashtag, #meet1neighbor, on his 'Arlington Proud' Facebook and Twitter pages.
"We're over-connected online and under-connected in person," he said.
Greeting a passing neighbor is a simple gesture, but one many no longer make.
In communities across North Texas, neighbors largely ignore each other. Homeowners can pull into their garage and easily avoid stepping outside their home and seeing who lives next door.
"In the old days, people used to knock on the door, and say, 'Hey, I'm your new neighbor,'" Ken Patrick reflected. "Remember that?"
He has lived in Joeckel's neighborhood for nearly twenty years, yet admits even he has gone years without introducing himself. He, like many, says he's simply too busy.
"I get home. I'm tired. I eat, shower, then it's time to go bed and get back up again," Patrick said.
He and others realize people can feel awkward introducing themselves to strangers.
"You don't want to feel like you're interrupting something they need to be doing," said Don Woodard, who lives across the street from Joeckel.
He pointed out he knows about eight of his neighbors.
"It's remarkable in this day and age to know that many of your neighbors," he said.
Joeckel would like to know all of them -- even if they don't seem interested in knowing him. He's returned to several doors repeatedly where homeowners haven't (or refused) to answer.
"I'm seeing an 'oxygen in use' sign and wondering if it's somebody homebound," he reflected on the porch of one particularly silent home. He'll return again, hoping to eventually meet the occupant.
"I'm not selling them anything. I'm not asking them to do anything. I'm not asking them to volunteer," he said. "I'm just introducing myself."

PLUM ISLAND — Local residents are banding together to help raise money to support beach restoration efforts on Plum Island.
A fundraiser will be held Saturday, Jan. 5, at PI Beachcoma, which is donating 20 percent of its sales for the day to help offset some of the cost of reinforcement efforts to protect several homes on Annapolis Way that were threatened last week by high tides. PI Beachcoma is located at 23 Plum Island Blvd.
Emergency efforts to place coir sandbags in front of several homes is expected to cost between $120,000 and $140,000, an expense to be borne by the property owners.
Saturday's fundraiser will include live music, raffles and more.
A Plum Island Beach Restoration Fund to help the residents has also been established at the Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank, 63 State St., Newburyport.

Lake Hospital System and Lake Erie College Partner for a Healthier Workforce.
PAINESVILLE, OH, August 18, 2006 -- Lake Hospital System and Lake Erie College are joining forces to build a healthier workforce thanks to support from the State of Ohio's Healthy Ohioans Program, which awarded Lake Hospital System a $25,000 Worksite Wellness Partnership Grant. This grant provides funding for hospitals to partner with local businesses to help initiate Worksite Wellness programs to improve employee health.
Lake Hospital System will be working with Lake Erie College employees on a variety of health promotion initiatives and components. They include assessing and heading off employee health risks through individual lifestyle coaching and rewarding employees for making healthy choices. The traditional wellness activities like smoking cessation services, on-site nutrition counseling, weight loss and exercise programs will also be available. The wellness services will be delivered by an experienced and highly-skilled team of Lake Hospital System health professionals.
In the spring of 2005, the vision to create a comprehensive wellness program inclusive of weight management for businesses was introduced and explored through a partnership with Classic Auto Group, Lake Hospital System and Lake Erie College. With initial funding secured, a Health and Wellness Advisory Board was created. Issues, challenges and opportunities were discussed and next steps developed - this ultimately led the committee to apply for the Worksite Wellness Partnership Grant.
For Lake Erie College, this will be a new program offered to their employees in an effort to reward positive lifestyle changes. The Wellness Program will be housed in the college's new state-of-the-art Athletic and Wellness Center.
The Healthy Ohioans Program was created by Governor Bob Taft and the Ohio Department of Health, to increase awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The program supports nineteen hospitals in Ohio through grants totaling $500,000 which was awarded to the Foundation for Healthy Communities, an arm of the Ohio Hospital Association.
About Lake Hospital System
Lake Hospital System was recently ranked by both Solucient and Healthgrades® as one of the nation's best hospitals. And for four consecutive years NorthCoast 99 has named Lake Hospital System one of the 99 Best Places to work in Northeast Ohio.

No matter how old your child is, it's important to be prepared for the worst - just in case.
So, today, families came to Dakota Square
where their kids got to be apart of safety seminars, talking about basic precautions and how to handle themselves if they are put into a dangerous situation.
The Minot Police Department helped children have their fingerprinting done, and photos taken - which were given to the parents for safe keeping in case of an emergency.
A member of one of the safety seminars at the event says that even though they hope nobody has to deal with having a missing child, it's much better to be safe than sorry.
(Gary Jahner, Safety Seminar, Mugs for Hugs) "Safety programs such as this are not replaceable. I mean, if we can teach kids at a young age the importance, the value of safety.. If we can teach them at a young age, we've got to."
Jahner says they hope to continue Operation Mugs and Hugs in Minot.

Greens launch campaign against air pollution in Winchester city centre (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Greens launch campaign against air pollution in Winchester city centre
1:53pm Friday 30th November 2012 in Winchester
WINCHESTER green campaigners are taking their battle to clean up filthy air to the European Union.
They are to formally complain to the European Commission about the chronic breaking of EU air quality lows.
This afternoon Green Euro-MP Keith Taylor will be in the city to highlight the complaint.
For years the city centre has had high levels of nitrogen dioxide, some 25 per cent over the maximum permitted under both EU and UK legislation.
Long-term exposure to NO2 at these levels is thought to increase the likelihood of asthma attacks and respiratory illness in children.
The campaigners are calling for the problem to be tackled by cutting traffic in the city centre.
Winchester Friends of the Earth asked the city council to produce a plan to meet the legal Air Quality requirements over a specific timescale. The council declined to provide such a plan, says FoE.
Mr Taylor, Green Party MEP, said: "I'm glad that people in Winchester have taken this bold step to voice their concerns about the air quality problem at a European level. Air pollution levels in the town are worryingly high and we've seen no serious action from either the city or the county council.
"I'm pleased to be supporting their complaint to the European Commission in Brussels. It's high time that action was taken to make Winchester a healthier, safer place to live in and travel around."
Dr Michael Wilks, of Winchester Green Party, said "The health implications of a traffic-dominated town are very serious, both directly and indirectly. Indirectly, traffic inhibits the healthy alternatives to car access to the city – walkers and cyclists are deterred, intimidated and put in positive danger in a car-dominated street system. Motor traffic directly affects the health of Winchester residents through pollution."
Hazel Agombar of Friends of the Earth said: "As a mother of children in a city centre school directly affected by the traffic, I constantly ask myself why it is that the city council believes it is so much more important to listen to the lobbying of business interests than to try and prevent our children being poisoned. We have waited years for the Council to take proper responsibility for this."

For example why not give up the "temporary" St Peters car park?
If people can still drive into the city centre and park there the pollution problem will remain.

METAIRIE, La. — Lance Moore isn't an imposing figure.
Listed generously at 5-foot-9, the New Orleans Saints receiver isn't towering over opponents' defensive backs.
But what he lacks in stature he makes up for in other ways.
Well, it's mostly one ginormous way - ripping out the hearts of those he's playing against with big catch after big catch after big catch.
"He is a clutch receiver," all-everything quarterback Drew Brees said. "He is a go-to receiver. He is a dependable guy, a guy that I have a ton of confidence in. There is nothing he can't do. He is probably one of the smoothest route runners, ball catchers that I've ever been around."
The Saints (2-4) travel to Denver (3-3) for a Sunday night showdown this weekend and, it being nationally televised, gives Moore an opportunity to show once again what he can do.
If folks were watching this past Sunday, however, they've already seen Moore at his soul-destroying best against Tampa Bay.
Time and again the Buccaneers had the Saints in third-down situations – 15, to be exact. And time and again, Brees went to his the trusty Moore, with coming up with 2/3's of the team's third-down conversions.
Third-and-one at the Bucs' 19? No problem. A two-yard completion was followed by a 17-yard touchdown strike to Marques Colston.
Third-and-10 in the second quarter? No worries. Moore caught a 13-yard pass that time on a drive that eventually ended in a touchdown pass to Darren Sproles.
Three more in the second quarter all helped extend scoring drives.
And on the eventual game-winning drive, Brees found Moore for 35 yards on a third-and-six from the Saints' 9.
Moore's third-down grabs totaled 88 yards and in all, he recorded nine catches for 121 yards. It was his second 100-yard game of the season and sixth of his career.
"(Sunday) was one of those days where the ball was going to go in the air," Moore said. "With Jimmy (Graham) being out, there were going to be more touches for people. For me, a lot of those balls were coming my way."
Moore was the prototypical underdog, working harder than anyone for years before making the 53-man roster full-time in 2007, two years after leaving Toledo.
He worked his way into a mainstay on the roster and caught one of the most memorable two-point conversions in club history in the Super Bowl win over Indianapolis.
This season, he has28 passes for 408 yards and two touchdowns. That's good enough for 30th in the entire NFL. His 11 catches on third-down are tied for 14th-most in the NFL. And of his 28 catches, 26 have gone for first downs, tied for 26th in the league.
Don't worry about offending Moore by calling him a possession receiver. He'll take whatever description you want to call him as long as he's in the NFL and his team is winning.
"Everybody wants to be the lead dog," Moore said. "But, once you understand your role and are okay with accepting it, that's when you can become the type of player you want to become. If I'm the possession guy and I'm catching nine balls for 120 yards or so, I'm fine with that. If I'm catching three balls for 27 yards and we're winning the game, I'm fine with that. As long as we're winning the game, it doesn't really matter to me."

Tributes to well-known Bolton Wanderers fan Florence Brandwood
Updated 6:21pm Wednesday 16th April 2014 in Sport By Staff Sports Reporter
FLORENCE Brandwood, well-known as a loyal Bolton Wanderers fan and a long-serving scorer at Heaton Cricket Club, has died, aged 90.
Mrs Brandwood was a life-long Whites supporter and worked tirelessly in the Bolton Cricket League for many years.
In 2007, she was awarded a trophy by the Barclays Premier League for her devotion to Wanderers, which had seen her take in more than 3,500 games to that point.
Mrs Brandwood, from Astley Bridge, attended her first game alongside her brother in 1938 and rarely missed a chance to see her team.
Tributes have poured in from around the town's sporting fraternity, including ex-Heaton man Ronnie Irani, who went on to have a hugely successful cricketing career with Lancashire, Essex and England.
He tweeted on his official account: "Local to Bolton League Cricket is sad. News avid Heaton Cricket Club scorer & huge Wanderers fan Florence Brandwood has passed away. RIP."

Revit 2013: Was playing around with sketching symbolic lines in a Generic Model family. I added a line and changed its LOD to be visible in fine only. Nevertheless, it was still visible in the family editor even when the view was set to coarse.
1) How can we verify visual behavior of a family while in the family editor if the objects visibility is not governed by LOD settings? (BTW: The family performs correctly when loaded in the project, just not in the family editor).
2) Is the fact that LOD is ignored in the family editor by design or a bug?
3) Is there any visual cue that tells us that a particular line will be not visible at a LOD?
4) Should we be duplicating Ref. Level views in the family to keep things straight?
Solved! Go to Solution.
When working in a family things are a little different.
1 & 2) When you change the visibility of elements - they will not disappear in a family - they will grey out. This is my design.
As you stated when you brought it into a project - it worked correctly. Any time I am building a new family I always have an empty project open - just to test the new family.
3) To my current knowledge there is no visual clue to show what specific level of detail an item has been changed to.
4) not sure what you mean by this.
Hope this helps,
Yes, this is by design, the greyed out lines represent them as being modified and will behave as you have set them up in the family. As stated before they work fine once inserted into a project. I do the same as the previous person and design my families then test them out in an empty project. Just think about it, if the lines were not showing in the family editor you would not know what lines you had drawn, so hence the greyed out lines.
Since half-tone display is by design, is there any way to adjust the half-tone level? On my screen, the half-tone representation and the normal display are practically indistinguishable from one another.
I will try that. One other question:
5)Why does the linetype change in addition to the halftone display? If I have assigned a component to a subcategory of hidden lines and limited it to fine LOD, why does it go to half-tone AND change its linetype when I change to coarse LOD? Is that also by design?
This is also by design. When you have a for example a 3D model you do not want to see that 3D model in plan for sake of the software utilizing the PC's resources, so you want lines to represent that 3D obect in a plan view as line work. As you go from fine detail to coarse detail you want to show different levels of that line work. I built familes for a year and had to do this for every model I made which is outlined in the Revit Model Style Guide which you can find on Autodesk.com. I hope this lets you understand why it is the way it is.
I'm not sure I understand. I'm talking about linetype changes (like seeing dashed in fine LOD, and then seeing continuous in half-tone for the same line because it is not in the medium LOD. Why would the linetype change? Your last answer didn't address linetype changes when an element (a symbolic line) is not in scope in that LOD.

Nevada is one step closer to giving voters another chance to allow same-sex marriage in the Silver State. The Assembly voted 27-14 Thursday in favor of SJR13 which repeals language in the Nevada Constitution that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Voters adopted that language with the Protection of Marriage Act in 2002, but polls indicate a growing number of Nevadans have changed their minds. Some of the state's largest employers have also embraced changing the law. The issue will still have to be approved by lawmakers again in two years. If it clears that hurdle, it will be up to the voters in 2016 to decide if they want Nevada to recognize all marriages regardless of gender. (AP)

West Henderson earns sweep over county rival East
Fri. January 10, 2014 at 10:59 p.m. | By John Domansky

A sweep in conference play is an accomplishment, but when it comes against your cross-county rivals, it is that much sweeter.
Balanced scoring and team efforts by both the boys and girls West Henderson basketball squads led to easy victories over visiting East Henderson.
In the nightcap, 10 different Falcons (8-5, 5-2 WNC Athletic Conference) scored in the first half, as they cruised to a dominating 64-38 performance over the Eagles (2-12, 0-9 WNCAC).
"This was the best team effort of the season. Our defense is getting better every day. It has been a point-of-emphasis for us all season. I am very proud of our intensity," said Falcon coach Billy Phillips.
West jumped out to a quick 17-6 lead in the first quarter behind Adam Witte's (14 points) eight first-quarter points.
Another run by the Falcons, this time 19-8 in the second quarter, was capped off by a Nick Ours (12 points) 3-pointer.
As folks were settling back into their seats after halftime, Ours brought the Falcon fans to their feet, as he powered home a dunk off of an alley-oop pass from Sam Polovina, extending their lead to 46-20.
Coming off a tough, one-point overtime win at Franklin on Wednesday, the Falcons are growing more confident, according to Phillips.
"That win was a confidence booster for us. We have had four wins by three points or less," said Phillips.
For the Eagles, sophomores Josh Glynn and Malik Alston paced their young team with nine points each.
In the opener, the Lady Falcons overcame a four-point halftime deficit by going on a 13-3 run to start the third quarter and went on to win 46-29.
Behind Madison Vaughn's (13 points) tough defensive presence in the lane and Taylor Houck's (8 points) pressure out top, the Lady Falcons (5-8, 4-3 WNCAC) limited the Lady Eagles (3-11, 0-7 WNCAC) to just eight second-half points.
Freshman Kayla Johnson (seven points) was the leading scorer for the Lady Eagles.
East Henderson will travel to Blue Ridge on Tuesday, while West takes the week off for finals before hosting North on the Jan. 21.

A New Creative Arts Center– Now is the Time
By Lark P. Palma, head of school
From the Summer 2011 Caller
Our alumni will tell you: Catlin Gabel taught them habits of thinking and new ways to question their world—and new ways to practice and develop their innate creativity. These skills of thinking and creating serve them well as the basis for fulfilling careers and satisfying lives. And in fact these days, as the world quickly changes, creativity is fast becoming the skill that colleges, graduate schools, and employers look for first. In a time of rapid change, those who adapt and flourish best are those flexible thinkers who are not afraid of innovation.
There is no discipline better than the arts to encourage and develop creativity. Our classes in music, theater, visual art, media art, and woodshop call upon our students to stretch themselves, take enormous leaps, and learn to express themselves through mediums that are often unfamiliar, and scary at times. A blank canvas, a role in a play, an assignment to make a music video, an instrument they've never played before—all demand courage and a connection between brain, hand, and heart.
We've done amazingly well at Catlin Gabel over the years in providing places for creativity to take hold. But we can do better. You'll read in this issue about our plans to build a new creative arts center. And I couldn't be more thrilled to present these plans to you. I believe that this is what Catlin Gabel needs most right now, and I hope that my conviction and enthusiasm for this project will grab you, too.
As you walk our campus, you see students of all ages benefiting from the facilities we've built, such as our light-filled Miller Library, our Warren Middle School with its wonderful gathering space, the well-loved Lower School Art Barn, and Upper School science labs where authentic, original research is taking place. But our Middle and Upper School arts programs sorely lack the facilities they need to best help our students expand their creative skills.
We all gladly do what we can with what we have on campus. But it makes my heart sink to see our Middle Schoolers performing in the tiny, dilapidated Chipmunk Hollow, or watch Upper School students painting, printmaking, and drawing in a room that can't accommodate a large work of art. It's time for us to provide something more in keeping with our ambitions for our students.
By providing a center for creativity, we will send our students out in the world prepared to navigate a new landscape. Last year Newsweek published a feature story about the creativity crisis, noting that the U.S. is losing its status as the nation of ideas that others imitate. Fortune 500 companies must know it, because many now administer creativity tests to future employees. Colleges and universities realize this: among others, Princeton, Brown, Pomona, and Stanford are also building creative arts centers. Important discoveries in science, exceptional business models, and successes of all kinds are born from the wellspring of creativity—the new, the great idea.
In our new creative arts center, the free flow of thought, creative energy, and mixture of all the arts in true collaboration will help forge the kinds of minds that generate big ideas. Our students will build on those habits of creativity and confidence to be poised for innovation—in fields that include science, math, technology, and engineering. We have to make sure that our children can create jobs for themselves that don't even exist yet, and that they have the fire and drive, fueled by creative thinking, to make a difference in this world. Let's give our students the creative boost they need to succeed.
