Article: A truly androgynous look relies heavily on black, white, and shades of gray. While the occasional splash of color can amp up your look, you should typically stick with more neutral tones. Tight pants will show off your curves and feminine figure, which is the opposite of what the androgynous look is about. Stick with pants that are a bit less fitted. Boyfriend jeans are a nice option and look great paired with a t-shirt and cardigan. A loose top will hide your figure better than something super fitted. Get a few men's button-up shirts in a variety of colors or prints so that you can mix and match them with various bottoms. Try wearing a simple white button-up under a cardigan with a pair of boyfriend jeans and canvas sneakers. As far as necklines go, a boat-neck is perfect for the androgynous look as it is a mix of masculine and feminine. Pair a printed boat-neck top with corduroy pants and oxfords for a chic androgynous style. Vests are a great way to add style to your basic pieces. Layer a vest over a plain or printed top and pair it with neutral pants and boots. Add a watch to complete the look. Pick a blazer in a fun print and layer it over a plain shirt. Add boot-cut jeans and a canvas sneaker to keep it casual, or pair it with black pants and oxfords for a dressier look. Also pick up a blazer in a neutral color, like navy, to pair with bold or printed tops and bottoms. Choose some items in traditionally masculine fabrics, like tweed, corduroy, or leather. Fabrics that are a bit heavier, more structured, and don't conform to the shape of your body will help you complete your androgynous look.

Problem: Article: Take the ham out of the oven, transfer it to a carving board, and turn off the oven. Tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes. While the ham rests, its internal temperature will increase a bit. This means the final serving temperature will be around 120F (49C) for a cured ham and 145 to 150F (63 to 66C) for one that was uncooked when you purchased it. For a fresh, uncooked ham, 145F (63C) is the recommended safe internal temperature. A cured ham was already cooked, so it's even safe to eat cold. While the ham rests, whisk 2 to 4 tablespoons of the pan juices with the remaining third of the glaze until you've thinned it into a sauce. To keep the glaze warm, place the saucepan over a burner set to low heat and stir it occasionally. Garnish the ham with a bouquet of fresh herbs, such as parsley or watercress, and show it off to your guests. Once they've had a chance to admire your handiwork, you can get to carving and serving the ham. If your ham isn't pre-cut, slice it yourself with a sharp carving or chef's knife. First, remove the cloves, if you inserted any into the scored surface. Cut off a few slices to flatten the thinner side, then turn the ham onto the flat side so it won't roll as you carve the meatier side. If you look at the cut side, you'll see that the bone is closer to one edge. This is the thinner side, and you want to carve the opposite, meatier side. Slice straight down into the ham until you reach the bone. Make cuts every 14 inch (0.64cm), then run the knife horizontally along the bone to remove the slices. If you bought a spiral-sliced ham, simply cut along the bone to remove the slices. Transfer the slices, along with your garnishes, to a serving platter. Set a serving fork on the platter, and pour the glaze sauce into a gravy boat. Bring the boat and platter to the table, serve your guests, and invite them to add sauce to their liking. Pair your glazed ham with side dishes such as balsamic green beans, mashed or scalloped potatoes, and roasted carrots.
Summary: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest. Make a quick sauce with the rest of the glaze. Present the ham to your guests before carve it. Carve the ham into 14 inch (0.64cm) slices. Serve the ham slices with your glaze sauce.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't immediately switch gears when you finish reading. (Switching gears immediately is the surest way to erase everything you just read from your short term memory.) You will process better and remember more if you take a few minutes to reflect on what you read. Reflect on your pre-reading (fit it into the course goals). Write a summary. Here are some sample questions you could discuss: What is this writer's purpose? Who is the audience? What are the main points/topics covered? What reasons and evidence support these main points? How is it relevant to this course? Context. What am I supposed to learn from this? How and how strongly do I react to this? Why? Question the material. What do I think is wrong/right? Why? What reasons do I have for my beliefs? This helps move the material from short-term to long-term memory. If you find you need to review the material in order to complete your assignment, you will be able to find the parts you need more quickly.

SUMMARY: Reflect on what you have read. Try using two or more of the following strategies: Review the reading material within 24 hours to process it again. Begin any assignments promptly after reading the text.

The first of these charts is the "pros" column, and the second is the "cons" column. In the "pros" chart, fill in several reasons supporting your argument. Try to come up with 5-7. Use bullet points to give evidence supporting your reasons. Do the same on the "cons" side, except list and provide reasoning against your argument. For example, say you're writing about banning cell phone use in cars. Under the pros column put "could help save lives." You can also write, "helps drivers focus on driving," and "reduces risk of accidents." Under the cons column, you could write something like, "over-legislates private behavior" and "people may need to make emergency calls with their cell phone." An advantage of a pros and cons list is that it lets you look at issues from a non-emotional, objective stance. It's easy to get caught up emotionally in issues like testing products on animals or unsafe driving practices. But, when making the list, leave emotions out and focus on including only rational, defensible claims. For example, when making a list of cons for any issues, writing something like, "I personally dislike it" or "It makes me unhappy" is a very weak reason. Since you'll try to persuade your audience to embrace 1 side of your chart over the other in your letter, you'll need to address solutions to the "cons." As you're jotting down the "cons," think of flaws in the arguments that would support them, or consider ways in which the "cons" are misleading or irrelevant to the issue. Or, if you don't believe that the "cons" need to be solved, you could find information that proves those arguments wrong. For example, if you're writing about the issue of texting while driving, you'll need to address the con that it "over-legislates private behavior." Write something like, "This argument is irrelevant. Texting while driving affects more than one individual since many people can be killed by a careless driver who is also texting." You can then add this sentence directly to your letter once you're writing it.

One-sentence summary --
Fill out pro and con columns on a sheet of paper. Keep emotional distance from the issue you're evaluating. Consider how the "cons" can be overcome.
