How to Draw Cars with Sections
Drawing cool cars from memory means you have to take a pragmatic approach to drawing. One of the tips in the automotive design industry to is to define your shapes using sections so I am going to show you how to draw cars with sections.
So what are sections? Sections are "slices" of the vehicle body that describe the shape of the vehicle. If you have a sphere, the section describing the shape would be a circle.
So the challenge is to develop a series of sections that will help you to build the forms of your vehicle illustration. Check out the video below to see how sections can help you to perfect your drawing skills.
If you are looking for a beginners course, our popular introduction to transportation design will cover excellent fundamentals and basics in analog and digital drawing formats. Plus!

"You can never have enough healthy gut flora" said my husband jokingly as I rambled on about this recent study at the NIH about the impact of gut flora on weight. Although weight is not of huge importance for my family, it is a huge issue (no pun intended) for many families and gut flora may be the key reason many people are overweight. My husband, who seems to have a different approach to these things says "it might be the overwhelming consumption of Big Macs and large fries." But I'm wearing him down.

Where Is Justin Bieber Originally From?
It's a question as old as the Biebs himself: Where is Justin Bieber from? And how did he come to land on U.S. soil?
Well, he's Canadian, which means he's from Canada. Baby Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, to Jeremy Bieber and Patricia Mallette. While his parents never married, they were both there for Justin throughout his childhood, nurturing his love of music.
Growing up, Justin taught himself to play all sorts of instruments, including piano and guitar. Momma Patricia soon started posting her son's musical stylings, like various performances at local singing and talent competitions, to YouTube for friends and family to see. She then started loading Justin's versions of popular R&B songs, and his online following grew to include some influential people. He was just 14 years old.
In 2008, one of those influential people, talent manager Scooter Braun, discovered Justin on YouTube, and it didn't take long for his career take off. Scooter took Biebs to the U.S. to meet R&B star Usher, whom he signed with. It wasn't long before Scooter and Usher catapulted Biebs to international superstardom. Millions of Beliebers are forever in their debt!

Cades Cove family recalls area's heritage
Lois Caughron was working in the garden near her Cades Cove residence when she heard noises coming from her home. She walked inside to find a Boy Scout troop touring the house as though it were a museum.
That was years ago, way past the end of an era in Cades Cove history. Most Cove residents had either left or been forced to leave their homes by the '50s. Those who remained lived in an area of increasing tourist traffic.
During the recent Wilderness Wildlife Week, the panel discussion over Cades Cove given by longtime residents Ruth Caughron Davis, her sister Kay Caughron McMahan and mother Lois Shuler Caughron was as much a celebration of their life in the Cove as a reflection on the pains of leaving.
The Caughrons were one of the last families to leave the Cove. When Ruth and Kay's father died in 1999, the Cades Cove Preservation Association "couldn't wait to tear the house down and rebuild it," Ruth said.
"We have some items, little key tags, that were made out of some of the lumber that came from (the house), but it was very sad," Ruth said, tearing up.
They lived in a log cabin built of wood from the area. They never had electricity — no television or working phones — though they went to school with children who did. Their home offered shelter but was still subject to the elements. If the wind blew, soot from the fireplace scattered throughout the house. If Lois mopped the floor, the water froze.
"They say the good old days, but it wasn't," Lois said.
But anyone in the Harp Room at the Music Road Convention Center could tell that these women experienced deep joy alongside the hardships — the kind of joy children will always experience no matter their circumstances.
Ruth told of how her family sold jars of honey on the side of the road for $1 apiece. Payment was made "on the honor system," but apparently someone began stealing honey, so their father built a fake beehive on the hill near the real beehives. They sat on a board behind the beehive and peeped through a small hole to try to catch the honey-stealer. They never did.
"Kay and I spent many a hot hour in that fake beehive," Ruth said with a laugh.
Someone from the crowd asked of the honey jars, "Did they always pay for them?"
"At that time they did," Ruth answered.
Today Cades Cove, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Smokies. Visitors to the area see the John Oliver Cabin, the Myers Barn, the Becky Cable House, the churches and other historic structures. But, as Ruth will tell you, what's left is not totally representative of the mid-20th century community.
Many of the buildings were partially reconstructed, by wood that was not from the Cove, and no one lives in them. They are the hollow, honey-less beehives of their former bustling selves.
"When the tin roof came off, the whole front side of the (Becky Cable) barn rotted, and the end rotted as well," Ruth said. "They came in and tore all that off and hauled it off to the dump and put new lumber on. And you tell me that's 75 percent original? I don't think so."
Nor do these primitive log cabins reveal the very real modernity of the Cove by the time the Park Committee forced most of its residents off their property in the '30s, '40s and '50s. Ruth left in 1965, and Kay in '71.
In the end, the National Park Service demolished most of the more modern structures, leaving the early-Appalachia cabins and a distorted legacy of the area, including the Caughron house.
"They pushed everything out. The only thing that's left there is the apple tree in the front yard," Ruth said. "And I'm surprised they didn't push that down, too."

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) — The Obama administration condemned Saturday the Taliban's attack on a Kabul restaurant that killed 21 people, mostly foreigners, as revenge for an airstrike that caused civilian Afghan deaths.
Among the dead are Americans, Canadians, Britons and Afghans.
Two of the three Americans killed were identified Saturday. They are Lexie Kamerman and Alexandros Petersen, both employees at the American University of Afghanistan, the university said. Kamerman graduated from Knox College in 2008. She was a star on the club water polo team while she was in Galesburg, Ill.
"She was an amazing young woman — smart, strong, beautiful, funny, stubborn and kind. And fearless," Kamerman's family said in a statement provided by her aunt, Julie Pfeffer.
"She took the job at the American University of Afghanistan to help the young women of Afghanistan get an education and take their rightful place as leaders in Afghan society," the family said. "As you could probably guess, her death is a shock to us all and we can't imagine a moment going forward when she won't be desperately missed."
Laura Coffman, a family friend who had been Kamerman's water polo coach at the Latin School of Chicago, said Kamerman had recently visited her mother in Chicago.
She said Kamerman was known as someone who never shied away from a challenge or visiting a place considered dangerous.
"I don't think that would make her hesitate a second," Coffman told CNN. "What she would have said was: Just because it's dangerous doesn't mean she shouldn't be there."
U.S. officials excoriated the attack
The bomb and gunfire attack Friday occurred at a Kabul restaurant frequented by foreign workers from nongovernmental organizations.
"There is no possible justification for this attack, which has killed innocent civilians, including Americans," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a prepared statement. "We call again on the Taliban to put down their arms and begin peace talks, which is the surest way to end the conflict in a peaceful manner.
A U.S. State Department official said that three Americans died in the attack.
Four of the people killed were affiliated with the United Nations: three U.N. staff members and a Lebanese national with the International Monetary Fund, said Ari Gaitanis, a U.N. spokesman.
The attack was "a heinous and cowardly act targeting innocent people working for a brighter future for Afghanistan," National Security Adviser Susan Rice said on Twitter.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault as payback for an airstrike in Parwan province that caused civilian casualties this week.
Suicide bombing and gunfire
A suicide attacker detonated his explosives at the gate of the restaurant in the evening. Two armed men rushed in and opened fire at patrons, many of them from overseas, said Deputy Interior Minister Mohammed Ayoub Salangi.
There were 13 foreigners in total among the dead, including four women, the Afghan Interior Ministry said. The eight Afghans killed in the attack included one woman. Two other people were wounded.
One of the two killed American employees of American University of Afghanistan had recently joined the political science faculty, the school told CNN. The other was a member of the student affairs staff.
"We are devastated by the news," university President Michael Smith said in a prepared statement. "Our deepest sympathies go out to the families and to the AUAF community."
The university said it was planning a memorial service and moment of silence for the employees killed in the assault on La Taverna du Liban, a popular Lebanese eatery known among expatriates to be one of the more secure establishments in the city.
"Such senseless violence flies in the face of the sentiments of our students and the Afghan people who share our grief," Smith said. "We will pause to honor the courageous service of our colleagues as we continue to provide the high quality university education for which our students are so grateful."
2 Britons, 2 Canadians among the dead
Two British victims of the assault have now been named.
One is Del Singh, a candidate for the upcoming elections for the European Parliament from the southeast of England, a spokesman for the opposition Labour Party said, adding that a full tribute was being arranged.
"Del spent over 10 years carrying out vital work on development projects in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Sudan, Sierra Leone and other countries," Labour Party leader Ed Miliband said. "He dedicated his life to working with people across the world who needed his support," he said.
The Foreign Office named the second victim as Simon Chase, but provided no further information Saturday morning.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Saturday that one of the U.N. workers was a Russian national.
A Canadian foreign affairs department spokeswoman said two of her country's nationals — Martin Glazer and Peter McSheffrey — died in the attack.
Both worked for a consulting and auditing firm in nongovernmental organizations' projects in Afghanistan, said spokeswoman Caitlin Workman. They did not work directly for Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development.
Taliban claim attack as revenge
Afghan security forces killed the two gunmen in a shootout.
The restaurant is near the offices of many nongovernmental organizations, said Hashmat Stanikzai, a Kabul police chief spokesman.
The Afghan interior minister condemned the attack in an online statement, saying "these heinous acts go against the values of Islam and the values of peaceful Afghans. These attacks also demonstrate an extreme level of atrocity by terrorists on innocent and defenseless civilians. "
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the violence, saying through a spokesman such attacks "are completely unacceptable and are in flagrant breach of international humanitarian law."
Among the killed was Vadim Nazarov, a senior political officer with the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, a U.N. website said.
UNICEF identified two employees as part of the death toll: Basra Hassan, a nutrition specialist, and Nasreen Khan, a health specialist.
Christine Lagarde, the IMF's managing director, posted a statement online mourning the death of her agency's representative in Afghanistan, Wabel Abdallah. The 60-year-old Lebanese national was named to that position in June 2008.
"We at the fund are all devastated," Lagarde said.
'Huge shock'
Afghanistan continues to be the site of sporadic violence, much of it blamed on militants tied to the Taliban. The terror group ruled the country before the U.S.-led invasion after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The international community has been extensively engaged in Afghanistan for more than a decade both with military troops and NGOs.
Friday night's attack was a "huge shock" to those working there, said Paul Ross, the IMF's mission chief for Afghanistan, but it won't deter them from continuing their work.
"I think that many of the people, like Wabel, are dedicated to trying to help countries develop and prosper," Ross said. "That's really part of their life mission statement. And that's what makes them go to places that are difficult to visit."

Unionized government workers are bankrupting localties across the nation, but the racket is coming to an end. For years, the workers extracted ridiculously overgenerous benefits and pensions totally out of proportion to what workers in the private sector were earning. It USED to be the case that government workers received lower compensation than private sector workers, in exchange for greater job security. It was a trade-off. Today, they have greater job security AND outsized wages and benefits. Taxpayers are waking up, and, more importantly, the treasury vaults are empty, so fiscal realities are coming to the forefront.
In the private sector, it could at least be argued that unions were necessary to offset the bargaining power of the employing entity; in government, they make no sense. The problem with unionized labor in government is simply that THERE IS NOBODY AT THE BARGAINING TABLE REPRESENTING THE EMPLOYER'S INTEREST -- THAT OF THE TAXPAYER!!!! The craven Dems are thus all too willing to give away overgenerous pensions and benefits, because all they care about is getting union votes and getting re-elected -- they couldn't care less about where the money is going to come from to pay for all the promises. And, of course, the greedy union members begin to kick and scream like little spoiled brats when the taxpayers ask them to contribute even a miniscule amount of money to their pension plans -- amounts that are STILL below what the private sector worker pays.
The taxpayers are waking up, slowly, but surely. The free ride is over...
Yes, it's sad, but, ultimately, who is responsible for what happened here? No one held a gun to this young woman's head and forced her to commit her crimes. She made conscious choices and decisions, based on FREE WILL, to engage in destructive acts of violent criminalty. To the extent that her family failed to instill proper values in her, or supervise her, or provide support for her, they share responsibility for the outcome as well.
I believe in personal responsibility for one's actions. There is always a choice between right and wrong, moral and immoral conduct, regardless of how difficult or tough one's circumstances are. I don't feel any sympathy for this woman or her family, whatsoever. She made her bed; now she can sleep in it, or, you reap what you sow, as the old sayings go.
"Before being sentenced, Campbell told Arre, "I would like to apologize for all the trouble I have caused. I didn't mean to harm anyone." She said she had done more good than bad in her life and asked for a chance to "prove that I am not a bad person or a threat to society."
Earlier in the hearing Campbell's mother spoke, asking Arre for lenience and insisting on her daughter's innocence. "At the time of the crime she was with me," the mother said."
So, the criminal apologizes for her conduct (thus admitting her guilt), but her mom states that she was wtih her at the time of the crimes and is innocent? The mom is a liar as well as a lousy parent. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
"In the courtroom, one woman cursed at court personnel and said, "People don't even get that much for murder." She said Campbell's sentence would have been lighter if she were white."
Ah, yes, that crumpled and well-worn race card. Whip it out from the bottom of the deck, anytime, everywhere, 24/7, in order to deflect attention from her relative's own responsibility for her poor decisions and criminal behavior. I assume it's also society's fault that this woman made the decisions she did.
If this woman didn't want to do the time, she shouldn't have committed the crime.
These lowlife criminals expect society to tolerate all of their vile and violent behavior with a smile, and fully expect not to pay a penalty for it. So, naturally, they are surprised on the rare occasion when the courts actually hand down a stiff sentence. They are that brazen and arrogant.

Your comment is asinine and utterly foolish. Comparing pro athlete pay scales to "average Joe" pay scales is apples and oranges. Jones and other pros make high salaries because that is what the free market of pro sports values their services at. Can you rush for 1,400 yards in a full-contact sport? I didn't think so. Jones possesses skills that you and the average man does not possess; thus he fully earns whatever he is paid.
"First Assistant Sussex County Prosecutor Gregory Mueller said authorities are still seeking the kingpin in the case..."
Whoever this "kingpin" is, I reckon he don't have much more brains than these here culprits. This what happens when ya shun book learnin' in favor of criminal fraternizin' and schemin'.
If you read a few articles on this incident, the motive is pretty clear. The suspects had a business deal go sour with a man named "Jeff Mueller" or "Jeff Muller." They also didn't know his whereabouts. They allegedly broke into a homeowner's house in Missouri and terrorized the homeowner and his wife for information. After shooting the man in the hand with a shotgun, removing three of his fingers, the man told the group that "Jeff Muller" lived in New Jersey. These clueless hillbillies drove cross-country to New Jersey, where they kidnapped the pet food store owner Jeff Muller, who had no connection to the men. So, to sum up, in mathematical terms: 3 hillbillies with low IQ + business deal (likely involving drugs) that went south + bad information = kidnapping of an innocent man and a laundry list of state and federal felony charges.
"It would seem farfetched to think that Scammell just came up with the name of a person who was named Muller and lived in Newton unless this man is connected to these people. Does Scammell have a NJ telephone book handy in case of a home invasion so he can mislead criminals to NJ."
The man that these hillbillies (allegedly) shot in the home invasion was scared for his life. Think about it. He probably just blurted out anything that came to mind just to get the people who had invaded his home and shot him in the hand with a shotgun off his back. Thus, he told them that the man they were looking for was a "Jeff Muller" who lived in New Jersey. The hillbillies probably did the rest of the deduction themselves; hence, the messed up end result.
Right; Muller by all accounts is a respected businessman and community member, and you think he should be investigated? How about the three crazy, dimwitted hillbillies with rap sheets a mile long who kidnapped him? Brilliant, man, just brilliant.
There are two lessons to draw from this entire incident -- One: hillbillies could stand to do more book learnin' and less criminal fraternizin', and two: if a trio of suspicious-looking hillbillies in a car ask you if your name is Jeff Muller, you say "Hell, naw! I'm Billy Joe Smith. Pass me that there Slim Jim!"
The article mentions facts that speak to this issue. Clearly, the perps had a business deal (likely illicit) go sour that involved a "Jeff Muller," and believed this innocent pet store owner to be the same man. They kidnapped him to exact revenge or money, or both. Use your imagination.

After listing our older historic home in Benson, NC with another agent, my wife and I began to wonder if we would ever find a buyer. We decided to switch to Wood Realty and noticed a difference immediately. Ron came up with creative ways to promote our home and quickly increased viewings to prospective buyers. Before we knew it, we had several offers and ultimately got matched-up with the perfect buyer for our historic traditional home. For anyone considering buying or selling in Johnston, Harnett or Wake counties Ron is your man!

Ratings & Reviews
I choose Wood Realty Group b/c of their great responsiveness and strait forward marketing strategy utilizing an entire team of people and resources. Prior to contacting Ron, I had my home on the market for over a year, after giving Ron the listing the house was under contract less than 30 days later. I believe this can be attributed directly to the "team work" marketing strategy utilizing multiple resources and agents from their group. I highly recommend Wood Realty Group if you are buying or listing!
I would like to thank you so much for the kind words about our team and our marketing strategies. I hope we can continue to deliver great service, knowledge and results for our clients. I will say that it could never be possible without the great team of agents on our staff. Thank you for your past business and any future referrals of family and friends.
I have used many realtors in the Johnston County area. Ron is the most effective & most knowledgeable realtor I have found. His work ethics and realtor ethics exceed my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone to sell or purchase a home.
Ron was so professional in completing this real estate transaction. He was professional in every aspect of listing , showing and completing the property sale. His expertise of the market was an asset that listed and sold the property for us in a reasonable length of time. I would recommend Ron Wood to anyone wishing to sell or buy real estate.

From classical sculpture at the San Antonio Museum of Art to a conjunto family reunion, there were plenty of reminders, too, that art transcends the day-to-day.

Soaps Boards :: The Young and the Restless Forum :: unfinished storylines, and storylines that never e
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
I know these complaints are all over the board and the writers must know. Storyline about Jill and her inheritance, Sharon pushing Phyliss down the stairs, who is Summer's real father have been going on for over a year. I mean that is ridiculous, I know soaps are slow but not this slow. Young and Restless is now just plodding along, and that is not good. Plus there are storylines that look like they could have been good, some mystery, like Paul seeing someone at Ricky's grave, the story of Daisy and her disappearance. They could have even brought in Avery's ex husband that she and Dylan cheated on. Anything to make this soap more interesting. I am a long time soap watcher of Y&R and General Hospital and love both shows, but everyday GH ends on a cliff hanger and I can't wait for the next show, I want to do that for Y&R too. PS, I love Victor, wish writers would make him more redeemable but at least he is not dull. Love him and Nicky together, always have and hope she goes home soon.
ITA! Too many unanswered questions. And yes, Nicki should run home before Victor changes the locks. He's a proud man and I can't see him being humiliated by his wife for too much longer. If she HAD to leave him, she could have gone out of town instead of have EVERYONE in GC know their business. What a stupid woman.
ITA and am begging for relief and closure to these every accumulating collection of open ended storylines that the writers start, then forget what they have written and either drop it all together or finish it up with a total contradiction. Example, what about the mystery about Ann who Leslie and Tylers father loved and was writing to in jail and then we meet Hillary her daughter but never find out if Hillary and leslie and tyler are siblings? Then destroy Adam and Chelsea by having her dishonor his wishes about Connor, then have her get involved with Billy? Why not have Adam discover that he never ran over Delia and have him reunited with his family as they were finally coming together before he went into hiding?????? I am so mad about that and then Nikki staying at the same location as IAN like there is NO Other hotel in that city when she is rich???? Go back home to Victor already! They are forever bonded and Victor is horrible but Nikki knows it and accepts it and I love them together anyway.

In September, it was revealed the Seasiders spent nothing at all on agents' fees during the previous season, while fellow Sky Bet Championship rivals Blackburn spent over £3million.
Oyston believes Blackpool are well placed to cope with the forthcoming Financial Fair Play rules and are the envy of other clubs.
"I'm not blowing our own trumpet here, but they all wish they could be like us," Oyston said at a question and answer session with the Blackpool Supporters Association.
"They either don't have the strength of character or control to be able to be like us.
"I'm sure no-one likes dishing three-and-a-half million quid out to agents every year; they can't like it surely?
"They can't possibly enjoy that experience of sending money out of football never to return."
Blackburn's managing director Derek Shaw warned earlier this month that his club could face a transfer embargo under the new FFP regulations due to excessive spending last season.
Oyston expects as many as six clubs could be heading for such a predicament and wants even stricter punishments for those who flout the rules.
"Out of the 24 clubs in the Championship, six won't hit the FFP target," he added.
"They face a transfer embargo if they aren't promoted to the Premier League.
"The teams that are promoted will be fined and the money will be distributed to charity. I think those six either have no intention of complying, or can't because of previous activity.
"The general strength of feeling among Championship clubs is that we need to give the rules more teeth, with higher punishments to the teams that break them."

Community Empowerment
Emory and Chris Rose are members of a multi-issue nonprofit—SOCM—that tackles health, employment, and environmental issues in the isolated and often struggling coalfield communities of Tennessee.
In 1972, a group of activists in the isolated coalfield communities of northern Tennessee started Save Our Cumberland Mountains. SOCM was formed from a legislative win. A year earlier, fed up residents won an appeal to require absentee corporations to pay taxes on their mineral-rich land. Emboldened, the nonprofit began to take on other problems: unregulated strip mining of coal that blasted the sides of steep mountains onto homes, roads, and streams; and insufficient revenue for schools,...

Occupy Los Angeles is feeling the effects, both positive and negative, of its growth. Sanitation costs –hauling out garbage and cleaning the porta potties– are taking up most of the donations, and meals must now be delivered from restaurants or "catered" by certified kitchens in order to comply with the health department until the proper permits are in place. Occupy LA's cook staff did have access to a kitchen for the first two weeks andthey are still looking for another. Pizza is still coming in and people are also relying on their own resources, providing food for themselves and those around them.
The mediation tent (above right) is a popular spot, as is the South Lawn with the People's Stage where bands, poets and speakers entertain and teach. A list of activities, including yoga and teaching seminars, is listed on Occupy LA's website. The bike community and Occupy LA are staging Sunday rides at noon, and four bikes have been donated to Occupy for communal use; there's also a bike workshop which teaches basic repair. [cont'd.]
Last Thursday the weekly farmers' market relocated to the outdoors California Mall, much to the distress of some of the vendors because some of tent dwellers were concerned that the Fire Department's request that they clear fire lanes was a plot to remove them. The matter is being addressed again in General Assembly.
As Occupy LA is not permitted to camp technically they need to move their tents nightly off the lawn. So far, the city has been very cool about that, but that could change, especially if the farmers' market vendors get more upset.
Camp security has become more vigilant, as there is a need to comply with city law–ie. no drinking on city property. There have been four arrests for minor violations over an 18 day period, according to the LA Times.
Meanwhile, plenty of other groups and organizations are happy to come and pitch their pet projects–which at times dovetail into Occupy LA's and other times don't–and ask for Occupy's feet on the street (one anti-foreclosure group asked for volunteers to be arrested in civil disobedience and/or Occupiers to show up and support the homeowners, while the United Teachers used Occupy as a launching point for their march last week, the New Corp protest drew a large number of Occupiers).
Some groups ask for Occupy LA's assistance and support without ever checking on what Occupy needs in terms of support, solidarity, supplies, man power, etc. They are a barter community, and other groups should be prepared to trade manpower.
Monday night at GA several lawyers came by to explain what Occupy LA could do for them and their causes, but neglected to offer any support in terms of legal aid should there be arrests to assist community members with their own legal matters, or to hold workshops. They were not well received.
Some are giving back, like Tom Morello, who played a set Tuesday and put 175 Occupiers on his guest list at the Troubador to see him play for free. Comic Jeff Ross who performed last week brought toilet paper and deodorant.
Other visitors to the camp are bringing supplies (rain ponchos would be handy, along with batteries and white boards and markers,while the media tent needs SD cards. Security would love some walkie talkies. Food deliveries from restaurants are appreciated, as are crates of fruit. And you know, if you're going to take pictures of people sitting in front of or in their tents, it is polite to ask.

Henniker, N.H. - A game winning goal in the third period by sophomore Stacey Hochkins (New Boston, Mich.) led the Holy Cross women's ice hockey team to a 2-1 victory over ECAC opponent New England College Friday afternoon in Henniker, N.H. With the win, Holy Cross picks up its 11th victory of the season and remains unbeaten (11-0-1, 8-0-1 ECAC), while New England falls to 5-5-8 (4-5-0 ECAC).
Senior Kathryn Kelley (Dedham, Mass.) gave Holy Cross a 1-0 lead at the 16:59 mark in the first period when she scored her second goal of the season, assisted by seniors Wendy Nobrega (Barrington, R.I.) and Kathryn O'Connor (Brookfield, Conn.). The Crusaders were able to keep the Pilgrims off the scoreboard, allowing just four New England shots.
The second period was played to a draw, as Holy Cross was outshot 8-4 by New England. The Pilgrims' Stephanie Spera tied the game, 1-1, at the 11:56 mark in the third period and the game appeared to be heading into overtime before Hochkins scored her 13th goal of the season at the 17:52 mark to give Holy Cross the 2-1 win.
Holy Cross sophomore goalie Carly Dominick-Sobol (Syracuse, N.Y.) made the start in net, allowing just one goal and making 24 saves. New England's Teraysa White allowed two goals and recorded 24 saves. Dominick-Sobol improves to 5-0-0, while White falls to 5-8-1. Holy Cross narrowly outshot New England, 26-25, while New England went 1-6 on the power play and Holy Cross went 0-2.
Holy Cross will return home to the Hart Center on Saturday, Jan. 9 with a 2:00 p.m. faceoff with ECAC opponent Nichols.

Jan Gooding was last night unanimously and formally confirmed as Stonewall's new Chair of Trustees. She succeeds Jacqueline Davies who retires after serving as a trustee for nine years and as Chair of Stonewall since 2012. Jan will work closely with Acting Chief Executive Ruth Hunt to continue expanding Stonewall's work here in Britain and around the world challenging homophobia and prejudice in every walk of life.
Speaking about her appointment Jan said: 'While modern Britain has made great progress to ensure equality in law there is still much to do to make the daily experience for gay people here, and in many other countries, free from abuse, rejection and at times violence. As the new Chair of Stonewall I want to use the fundamental legal underpinning, secured over 25 years of committed campaigning by this remarkable organisation and many others, to continue the campaign for true equality'.
Welcoming Jan as Stonewall Chair, Acting Chief Executive Ruth Hunt said: 'Jacqueline Davies has had a fantastic nine years as a Stonewall Trustee and we're incredibly grateful for all her hard work. I, and everyone at Stonewall, are really excited about working with Jan to continue expanding our work. We know that there is still so much work to do to secure full equality here in Britain and right around the globe.'
Jan has been a Stonewall trustee since April 2013 and is currently group brand director at Aviva which she joined in 2008. In her role she is responsible for the brand, marketing and social media strategy reaching 34 million customers in the 15 markets that make up the Aviva Group.
Stonewall was awarded charitable status in 2003 and since then has been at the forefront of securing significant legislative advances for lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Britain. In that time the charity has launched an Education for All programme to tackle homophobic bullying in schools and colleges and has grown membership of its Diversity Champions programme for major employers to 650 organisations, who together employ six million people between them.

A deserved honor for a truly outstanding coach. Good to see Greg get recognized.
I would say that contract (for Vick) was a major mistake. But they are stuck with it.
They have plenty of excuses, as you might imagine, but that final drive was just poor all around. Complete lack of mental and physical execution.
Ah, the ultimate compliment. Thanks!
I don't believe that is relevant to the board's decisions, frankly.
The river wants to be free -- let it be natural and flow the way it did for centuries. Removing dams is almost always a positive.
Let's see what Lafayette looks like with Tony Johnson. at point guard. Playing true freshmen for 90 minutes at an Atlantic 10 school is one tough assignment.
I think Paterno needed to be dismissed right now, and I agree McQueary needs to go as well.
But I do agree, Josh, that Joe deserved better than a phone call; I think he should have been brought in and fired in person by either the acting President, acting AD or the trustees themselves. He was owed that much.
"recruiting by yardstick" is almost always a bad idea. Heart and smarts and passion don't get covered by height/weight stats.
Good question, and the JoePa uncertainty doesn't help.
Yes -- quite right -- but only so many points can be raised in one column. Jay doesn't have the best reputation, does he? Yet PSU keeps on winning.
I concur with this in its entirety. 2010 ... great game for a half. Then PSU was awesome.
A shot? Yes. Success? I don't know. Durability and size ... you know, there is nothing at all wrong with being a fabulous college football player and then never stepping on an NFL field .. they are really two different sports.
I guess the point may be too subtle for you, but the what-if here is what if Paterno had recruited Persa.
LaRussa was utterly brilliant in Game 1 of the Series. Just as in game 2 of the NLDS every button he pushed worked -- he didn't save Craig for some big moment "later" because that moment WAS the big moment. He used his bullpen like a great artist uses a different brush for each stroke. LaRussa is brilliant and has been for years but 2011 might be his finest job yet.
No agent would ever let his starting pitcher be in a 4-man rotation any longer.
Polanco probably done, yes. He's a gamer.
As for shortstop Mr. LoRe has the right idea -- rent a veteran, bring up Galvis in 2013 or so.
Charlie Manuel probably isn't the guy to manage a pitch-taking, small-ball-ish sort of team. 2012 might be his swan song as well, but he's very popular with the players. Manuel deserves another chance, I think, but I'd not be shocked to see a change there after or even during 2012.
Brown? Let him play for four solid months. Then we'll see. Remember Mike Schmidt hit .196 his first fulls season. Good thing Phils didn't give up on him too early, eh?
Well, Bastardo might do it well -- he wore down in 2011 but he was being used much more than a closer would be. But my larger point is that I don't think you need a megabucks closer to succeed -- certainly the two teams playing the NLCS right now do not have one. I think closers can be found, and I also believe closers can be changed during the season if need be. Also they tend to come available at the trade dateline and might again if Amaro would ever make a deal with somebody other than the Phils' AAAA team in Houston.
Do you realize how much Madson will get? Closers aren't worth that much money. If it's reasonable I'd bring him back ... but with Scott Boras as the agent it won't be. Let him go, use the cash elsewhere.
You assume Howard will listen.
Freddy Galvis in 2013. Until them - Rafael Furcal?
If Madson would stay at an affordable price I'd be all for keeping him. But as a Scott Boras client I believe he'll cost too much money. I think closers to a certain extent can be "created" on the cheap. The Phils can probably get 90 percent of Madson's production for 30 percent of the cost. Plus with their rotation a closer is a little less important than on many other teams.

VPX Meltdown Z Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
VPX Meltdown Z-14 comes from VPX, a company that markets a number of supplements for fat loss and muscle building. This formula is touted as a high power fat burner that can also protect the natural fat burning ability of your body at the same time. The company website claims that this combination offers a synergistic effect that goes beyond any other weight loss supplement on the market today. VPX also states that it uses numerous amped up ingredients in this VPXX Meltdown Z-14 formula to ensure maximum benefits. There is plenty of scientific lingo on the product page that sounds good on first read. However, we will explore this formula in detail to see if the actual ingredients can indeed deliver what they promise.
The company website does provide customer testimonials for VPX Meltdown Z-14, although we were unable to find information about a money back guarantee. The product sells for about $65 on the company website at the time of this review. However, we also found the product at online retailers for a much lower price. Many of the retailers offering the VPX Meltdown Z-14 specialize in bodybuilding supplements, giving us the distinct impression that this product may have more to do with fat loss in a bodybuilding program, and that it is not really designed for weight loss.
List of Ingredients
The main ingredients touted in the VPX Meltdown Z-14 include yohimbine blend, methyl-synepherine, Caffeine Anhydrous, Phenyletylamine-(Methyl-PEA), Hordenine-(Methyl Hordenine), Tetradecylthioacetic Acid (TTA)-Methyl TTA. The company website does provide the label for consumer perusal, and explains some of the ingredients more specifically as well.
Product Features
Caffeine anhydrous is found in many weight loss supplements because it is a stimulant that can increase the metabolism. However, it can also cause adverse side effects that include nervousness, sleeplessness, nausea and irritability. Many of the other ingredients listed in the formula are also high potency stimulants, which concerns us regarding the safety of this product. Most experts would agree the best ingredient for a weight loss product is either a low-impact thermogenic stimulant or an all-natural appetite suppressant. This formula contains neither of these substances, and also contains the potentially risky stimulant yohimbe.
There is a warning listed at the bottom of the company website that states that women who are pregnant or nursing and people under the age of 18 years should not use this product. It also recommends that you talk to a doctor before taking VPX Meltdown Z-14 if you have a number of chronic conditions or you are taking a prescription medication.
- The VPX Meltdown Z-14 company website provides a warning for some people.
- The product can be found for a reasonable price.
- There is no money back guarantee that we could find on the company website.
- There is no effective appetite suppressant included in the formula.
- Too many stimulants can prove to be dangerous for some people.
- Product may be aimed to aid body builders more than average users looking to lose weight.
The VPX Meltdown Z-14 is indeed an amped up version of a weight loss or bodybuilding supplement. However, the ingredients that add to its potency can also be potentially dangerous. There are many other supplements on the market that are safer and more effective than this one and that don't contain stimulants like yohimbe.

BOSTON – Two of baseball's most historic franchises will meet in the 2013 World Series, which gets underway at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.
The Red Sox and the Cardinals each had the best record in their respective leagues (both 97-65,) marking the first time since 1999 (Yankees-Braves) that the regular season's two best clubs are squaring off for a world championship.
Cardinals RHP Adam Wainwright (Regular season: 19-9, 2.94, 1.068 WHIP; Playoffs: 3GS: 2-1, 1.57, 0.783 WHIP in 23IP)
Only six Red Sox have ever faced Wainwright in a big league game, one of them is Ryan Dempster (4 AB,) another is Mike Carp (3 AB.)
Here's the key information on the four who've seen Wainwright most:
Shane Victorino: 5-22, .227/.261/.409, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 2 K.Stephen Drew: 2-19, .105/.190/.158, 1 2B, 2 BB, 5 K.David Ross: 2-11, .182/.250/.545, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 4 K.Jonny Gomes: 2-10, .200/.273/.600, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 4 K.
The Cardinals will get first baseman Allen Craig (.315/.373/.457, 13 HR, 97 RBI, 29 2B) back from a sprained ankle suffered on September 4. Craig is expected to be the designated hitter in Games One and Two, with the Cardinals holding the option to keep him off the field under American League rules.
Adrian Chambers was taken off St. Louis' playoff roster to make room for Craig.
Red Sox LHP Jon Lester (Regular season: 15-8, 3.75, 1.294 WHIP; Playoffs: 2-1, 2.33, 1.189 WHIP in 19.1IP)
Only three Cardinals have ever faced Lester, none has more than six at-bats and none has an extra base hit.
The Red Sox enter the World Series healthy amongst position players.
Xander Bogaerts (ALCS: 3-6, 3 2B, 3 BB) and Jonny Gomes (2013 Playoffs: 5-25, 2 2B, 2 RBI) are expected to be in the starting lineup, at third base and in left field, respectively.
Will Middlebrooks and Daniel Nava (Regular Season: .303/.385/.445, 12 HR, 29 2B) will be relegated to bench roles.
I believe the Red Sox will win the World Series and I believe they will get off on the right foot on Wednesday night.
Boston wins Game One, 4-3.

1 cup
uncooked rotini
1/2 bunch
Swiss chard (silverbeet), stems removed and thinly sliced
red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup
vinaigrette salad dressing
My whole family liked this salad. We grew swiss chard in our garden this Summer and I was looking for ways to get my kids to enjoy eating it. This salad really fit the bill. The bright colors are a real bonus.
Such a simple recipe! But I didn't have red peppers...so I tried chopped up carrot. Not as colourful as red peppers, but nice and crunchy. My wife liked it and took all the leftovers to work in the morning. If you want to try the carrots, the sweetness of the carrots goes nicely with a balsamic vinaigrette (with a touch of honey).
4 Ratings
I don't know if I didn't slice the chard thinly enough, but this salad was really work to eat. The chard was so tough that neither my husband or I finished our serving. I wouldn't make this one again.

Sparkweave Webinar | An Introduction to On Premise Enterprise Class Secure File Sharing and Sync
Event Type: Webinar
Event Dates: July 23rd, 4:00pm – 5:00pm BST
Event Location: UK
Consumer grade file sharing and sync solutions are widely used in the enterprise. They are easy to use and help employees to get their job done quickly. The trouble is, they lack the security and control features that organisations need to effectively protect their data.
Sparkweave is an enterprise class secure collaboration suite that offers secure email, large file transfer and file & folder sync. It offers the same ease of use as consumer grade solutions such as Dropbox and YouSendIt, with enterprise grade security, compliance (HIPAA, SOX, FDA, PCI DSS & more) and visibility. Most importantly, it can be run on premise giving you full control over your data.
Join us for a live Sparkweave webinar where we will:
- Introduce Sparkweave.
- Provide a full demonstration of the Sparkweave application suite including:
Fileweave – Offering complete governance over the transfer of large files without the complexities and security issues associated with FTP.
Mailweave -Secure email attachments.
Syncweave – Gateway access to a personal file cabinet from anywhere, on any device.
We look forward to meeting you!

How To Remove Annoying Ads In Android
This article will teach you how you can remove annoying ads in your android device. There are different methods for rooted devices and un-rooted devices.
If your device is using the rooted android then you can easily get rid of ads by just installing apps but if it is un-rooted then things are not as simple.
What is a rooted android? Android is Linux based. Linux has a super user account called "root". A rooted android phone is one where you have the root privileges on the phone and un-rooted android phone is one where you don't have.
Before you start you should know something what you are going to do. If you are in hurry then you can skip that paragraph, you wouldn't miss any part of tutorial. Ads help the app developers generate revenue. Whenever you click on an ad, some money is given to the app developer. This helps the app developer survive in this cold world, continue support for that app and make new apps. So removing ads from the apps is a little unjust in the sense that app developer loses revenue. One or two ads are good enough but when the things start getting annoying then you should take this step.
AdFree is an awesome app and it do for what it is developed for. Very good rating in the app store and very efficient in removing ads. Installation and customization is quite easy. Not going into the technical details. You much install HOSTS file once you have installed AdFree. and then restart device. You can set the app on autoupdate so it will keep it self updated. It can also block ads from your Android browser. Your device must be rooted for AdFree to work properly.
AdAway can also remove ads from your apps. It also works on rooted devices only. Install the app and update it by clicking Download files and apply ad blocking. You can manually add domain and after this you have to restart your device. For each customization you have to restart the device like AdFree. Before removing this app make sure that you unblock all the ads other wise the ads will remain blocked.
Well this is how you can remove annoying ads from your rooted android smartphone. Life is easy if you have rooted android. In case of unrooted android it's very hard to block ads. But we will still try our best to block some of the ads.
We will be using browser filters to try to achieve this. This technique works well on Mozilla Firefox and Opera. On Firefox you need to install an add-on "Adblock Plus" and you are done. In Opera its a bit complicated. You need to create a file "urlfilter.ini" on your SD card or in Opera folder. Then add domains to this file. Where to get domain? Google them. Now once you have added the domains open Opera and in the address bar type opera:config and hit enter. Here search for "URL filter". A bar will ask to you to locate the filter's file. Click browser and go to urlfilter.ini. Now reboot android. Done.
This is how you can remove the annoying unsolicited ads in android. If you have rooted android smartphone then you are lucky but if you got un-rooted then things are little out of control.

London. Alec Stewart said Tom Maynard may well have gone all the way to the top as English cricket struggled to come to terms with the death of one of its most promising talents at the age of just 23.
Maynard, the son of former Glamorgan and England batsman Matthew Maynard, was killed after being hit by a London Underground train early on Monday morning, the day after playing for Surrey in a 40-over match against Kent.
He'd only been at The Oval for 18 months after joining Surrey from Glamorgan but former England wicket-keeper batsman Stewart, now Surrey's executive director, told the BBC that he'd become "a hugely popular figure" at the club.
And Stewart was convinced Tom, a batsman for the England Lions, the national A team, could have gone on to the senior side, arguing decent career statistics of 2,384 runs in 48 first-class matches at 32.65 with four hundreds did not reflect the true depth of Maynard's talent.
"I remember meeting Tom a few years ago during a holiday in Dubai when he and his father Matt Maynard — a good friend of mine from our England days — happened to be staying at the same hotel," Stewart said.
"Tom must have been about 17, but he was putting in the hard yards in the gym. Even back then, he knew where he wanted to go and that may well have been to the very top.
"Tom was a very good trainer and a quick learner who did nothing by half-measures. It was all about getting the best out of what talent and ability he had been given.
"He was an attacking, aggressive batsman and excellent fielder who enjoyed taking responsibility and playing to the situation, whether it was one-day or four-day cricket.
"Having toured with England Lions last winter, he was being talked about in England circles."
Stewart, who spent his entire career with Surrey, said it was hard to put into words the "sense of loss" pervading the club.
"He is the third cricketer we have lost in 15 years after Graham Kersey and Ben Hollioake were killed in car accidents in Australia, and everyone is feeling horribly numb and empty."
Tuesday will see The Oval stage the second one-day international between England and the West Indies and Stewart, forecasting a "very sombre atmosphere", added: "Cricket is a family and a member of that family has been lost."
Mystery surrounded the closing moments of Maynard's life after Scotland Yard said he'd had run away when stopped while driving "erratically" near Wimbledon Park station, close to where he was eventually killed in an incident British Transport Police said was being treated as "non-suspicious."
Meanwhile the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was considering whether to look into Maynard's case.
"Once a formal referral has been received from the MPS (Metropolitan Police Service) an assessment will take place regarding the level of IPCC involvement."

It's amazing to think that something so simple as a fleece sweater or pair of socks can do so much good in so many ways.
When Sarah made those first thermal fleece tops for her and her family so that they could keep the furnace low in the winter and save some money, she had no idea that she would soon be an entrepreneur whose thrifty products not only benefit the people who buy them, but that she could also do something to help her financially troubled community and set a good environmental example, all at the same time.
Sarah says it was when her twin boys wore their fleece thermal tops to school and she was approached by other parents who asked her to make the same warm shirts for their kids, that she realized the opportunity to start a business.
Sarah started Sarah's Fleeces in the winter of 2008, out of her home in England. Since then, her business has grown to employ 14 local people and she and her sewing team now hand-produce much more than just fleece tops; thermal pyjamas, sweaters and hats, blankets and pants, even welly socks to keep feet warm inside of rubber boots, as we call them in North America.
So why is Sarah's Fleeces a great example of a Thrifty Business and how will her products help you to achieve some of your frugal living goals?
First off, when clothing is handmade, like Sarah's, there's a high level of quality control that goes into making sure each and every piece is durable--you just can't get that with mass-produced clothing. Sarah says the fleece they use is top quality (read long lasting) and comes in a great selection of colours too.
Plus, and any frugal living enthusiast will appreciate this, if you're dressed in one of Sarah's thermal sweaters or pairs of pyjamas, you will definitely find it easier to turn the furnace down a few degrees!
"Even though one needs to spend money to get our thermal products, having bought them you can then save significant amounts of money on your fuel bill as you don't need to have the thermostat set as high," Sarah explains. "Just turning it from 18 to 16 degrees saves 20 per cent on your bill!"
When it comes to her own business operations, Sarah also does everything she can to save money and to keep her expenses low. She says she and the rest of her team make the most of their material and use all of the tiny bits and scraps of fleece to stuff pillows, they buy in bulk to save on gas, they use up-cycled products from local companies, and they themselves dress in the warm fleece clothing to keep heating costs low in the cooler weather.
Sarah's business operations aren't just frugal living friendly, however. This entrepreneur is also very committed to the environment, using fleece that is made partially from recycled water bottles, limiting waste and keeping her use of utilities and resources to a minimum when making her goods.
Giving back to and supporting her local community is also one of Sarah's top priorities. As the business has grown, Sarah has added local mothers to her sewing team so that she can help to revive the local economy in Hastings, which has certainly experienced its share of tough times with high unemployment rates and poverty.
"I live near two council estates, I see people every day that have no jobs, very little money and often no hope, there are many examples of poor parenting, bad diets, abuse, broken relationships and hurting families," Sarah says. "This motivates me in a way I don't think I can put into words easily. I see awful situations around the world on tv and as much as I long to do something about them I realized that here, right on my doorstep, is a situation that I can do something about. I know it's only relatively small at the moment but it's making a real difference to the people involved and that's a great feeling. It has the potential to make a really major impact."
Sarah is right. Just like anything in life, those small actions can really add up. Whether it's the little money saving tips that you use to shave a few dollars off of your utilities here and there, or you run a business like Sarah and you try to source your materials locally, to employ people in your community and to keep your operating costs as low as possible. All of these little efforts can mean something significant in the long run.
Sarah's unique business model, with its local focus and all of the little things she does to save money or to help out others is far from the likes of the big-time clothing manufacturers. Businesses like Sarah's Fleeces may be small in size, but their influence and ability to make change are anything but small.
"History shows us that big changes often start with a few determined people and that following the masses isn't always the best way," Sarah says.
Big change, one fleece thermal top at a time.

Like other page layout applications, InDesign allows users to control the appearance of every element on a page. It helps format elements with style sheets, which collect formatting attributes for easy replication. But that's where the similarities end. InDesign CS3 One-on-One: Style Sheets demonstrates why InDesign's style sheets are far more powerful than anything found in any other page layout program. Pioneering electronic publisher and author Deke McClelland goes to the heart of InDesign's style sheets, and discusses how they define and guide just about every other program feature. He covers how to format words, paragraphs, whole frames, objects, tables, and even entire stories with a single click. Exercise files accompany the course.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts for InDesign Style Sheets from the Exercise Files tab.
In this exercise, we are going to take a closer look by what is meant by a local formatting attribute override and by the way, I am working inside of an updated version of my document, it's called New font & size.indd found inside the 03_update styles folder. This time around, let's say instead of modifying my style sheet and having all of the text, all of the link text update in kind, I want to operate directly on the text itself and then later on, update the style sheet to match.
So for example, let's say we want the Byline style to look differently than we are seeing it here and certainly we do; we don't want to have this Pepto-Bismol pink. This is not a printing thing, by the way; this is just a screen indicator to show you that InDesign can't find the desired font. I am going to go ahead and triple click; one, two, three inside of Marjorie Kaminsky there in order to select an entire line of type and you can see that it's set in the Byline style, all very well and good. Let's ignore the Paragraph Styles palette for a moment and let's just focus on styling this text so it looks better.
I am going to change the type style from Semibold Italic which doesn't exist on this machine and if it doesn't exist on your machine, you'll probably see square brackets around it. I am going to change that style to Bold Italic which does exist and notice, as soon as I click off that text, the Pepto-Bismol pink has gone away thereby indicating that InDesign can find that style just fine. Now here is my problem. I am going to go ahead and zoom in here a little bit on this text and drag the text over a little bit and if you have text active and you want to move the page, you can press the Alt key by itself or Alt and spacebar at the same time to drag the page around.
That would be Option by itself or Option and spacebar on the Mac. Notice that this Bold Italic Adobe Garamond Pro type here is a little too precious; I think, it's a little bit too scripty, it's leaning too far forward and it's kind of too close. The letters are too close to each other. So I want to open up the letters and I want to sort of un-slant the text a little bit. So I am going to one, two, three click on that text again, triple click on it and I am going to select this value right here.
Notice this guy, he is called Skew (false italic) and by the way, you are only going to see these options up here in the Control palette if you've got the A selected, the Character Formatting Controls. Otherwise, either these controls were going to be hidden as they are on a 1024 x 768 screen like mine or they are going to be shoved over to the right-hand side of the palette. In any case, I want to go ahead and select this value, the Skew (false italic) value that lets you change the amount of skew associated with your type and I am going to change this value to -8, then press the Tab key and notice that that lifts the type slightly.
It goes ahead and skews it to the left a little bit. A negative skew value skews the text to the left, positive skew value skews it to the right. By skew, I mean slant, same thing. Then I am going to go ahead and select this value right here which is the Tracking value incidentally. If I hover over it, you can see. I am going to change this value to 20, which is 20 thousandths of an em space, and em space is as wide as the type size is tall, so in this case, 14 points wide where 21 thousandths of 14 points at this point.
Alright, I'll go ahead and press the Enter key in order to apply that value to the text and you can see that the letters spread apart from each other just a little bit. Now then if I go ahead and at this point, bring up the Paragraph Styles palette, you can see that have a local override. It says Byline+. That indicates a local override, which means that I've applied some formatting attributes in addition to what the style sheet calls for. If you want to see exactly what those additions are, just go ahead and hover over the style and you'll see a hint, it's telling me 'Bold Italic; tracking: 20 and skew angle: -8 degrees.' In the next exercise, I'll show you how to revert this override to reinstate the original style and I'll also show you how to update the style to include the modifications that you've made.

If writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning, it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic.
—Toni Morrison
Our HistoryThe establishment of IWT in 1982 was part of Bard College President Leon Botstein's response to what he saw to be a lack of substance and depth in students' writing. Like the Workshop in Language and Thinking, the mandatory, three-week session for all incoming first-year Bard students—what the New York Times called a "boot camp for writers"—, IWT grew out President Botstein's vision of the need to address a growing, widespread inability on the part of students to express their sophisticated ideas in writing. The mission of L&T is to help students think more deeply and to read challenging texts more closely through writing. IWT continues to collaborate with the L&T program, whose practices are often reflected in workshops.
Since IWT's founding, an expert faculty representing the fields of composition, literature, philosophy, art, and science from diverse institutions across the country continue to develop and refine writing practices. These associates work with one another through ongoing conversations about teaching and writing, continuing to learn about what writing is and can be for their students and transmitting their knowledge and experience to teachers in IWT's workshops.
