Tapered legs are used by woodworkers to build tables, chairs and various other projects. Cutting tapers on legs is a simple procedure that includes using a table saw and a plywood jig. Once you have the jig, it can be used again and again to produce matching tapers on as many legs as needed. When you make different sizes for different legs, you can hang the jigs on the wall and then they will be available for future projects.

wasn’t black and white, but rather all the colors imaginable. It was this realization that really helped me progress as a writer. A shift in paradigm made all the difference. My strong points in writing are usually fact-based works, such as research papers. My love of research branches off from my love of logic. It either is… or it isn’t. If I can choose the topic of my writing, I usually achieve a better result. Interest in the topic is what really drives me to do well with the matter at hand. I could

Writing memoirs requires meticulous work, especially when an author is writing about a past event from several years prior. Authors seem to be traveling on a foggy road wanting to retain their memories. Trying to remember memories can lead to confabulation, or filling in gaps, in a memory.

Professor Feltey taught the class how to find reliable sources and the importance of evaluating each source to ensure that we are not using overly biased information. I was surprised to discover that writing a research paper was much more involved than I had anticipated. After completing my research paper, I felt that I had reviewed my subject from both sides and was able to write a convincing argumentative research paper. I approached my research

is where my writing tends to struggle. Like I said earlier I love to write, but I should clarify. I love to write when I get to choose the topic. I could write multiple stories a month for newspaper, but became overwhelmed at an assigned research paper. I believe that it is the formal style of these essays that throws me off. I like to include my voice in my writing through figurative language or my opinions, so I have to try to remind myself to be objective. I know that going into the research side

24 Hour Media Blackout I remember getting my first computer game for Christmas one year, a Barbie horse jumping game I think, and being completely enthralled even though, looking back, it was poorly designed and the graphics were atrocious. A lot has changed by way of technology since those days.
