Apply during dry weather. Mix triclopyr with oil. Spray the bottom of the stem. Follow up only as needed.

If you are making the patties from canned salmon, drain the liquid out of the can and set aside the salmon. If you are using fresh salmon, remove any bones or blood lines from the fish and chop the fillet into ¼ inch pieces. Take the onion and grate it against a grater until it yields ¼ cup (59.15 ml) of onion. Then place the grated onion into a medium bowl. Wash the parsley, then remove the leaves from the stems. Take a sharp knife and chop the parsley into small pieces. Sprinkle the parsley into the bowl with the grated onion. You can also add any other herbs you like paired with salmon. Mix in the salmon, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Crack the egg into a small bowl and use a fork to whip and blend the yolk with the rest of the egg. Then pour the egg into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir the mixture with a large spoon until the egg is mixed with the other ingredients. Be careful not to overstir, as this can change the texture of the patties.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the salmon. Grate the onion. Chop the parsley. Add the salmon, mayonnaise and lemon juice to the bowl and stir. Add the egg. Stir the egg into the mixture until just incorporated.

. Oftentimes, addiction is the culprit if someone is stealing your medication. Your family member may have an addiction to prescription pain medication. If this is the case, spend some time learning about addiction. This will help you foster empathy and best address the situation.  Read about addiction online. There are many resources you can use, such as Narcotics Anonymous, that provide information about what addiction is. Try to remember addiction is a medical condition and your family member cannot help being drawn to the substance. If you're currently seeing a therapist, you could try asking your therapist for more information about addiction and talk over confronting the family member with them. Remember, while addiction is one possible reason your family member took your medication, it is not the only explanation. A family member may also be stealing to sell the drugs for money. If you find your family member does not display symptoms of addiction, look for another explanation. You may even want to connect with a local rehabilitation center to talk with a drug counselor about your situation and get some advice about how best to proceed. You do not need to write out what you're going to say word for word. However, it can be helpful to have a rough idea of what you want to express going into the conversation.  Jot down your feelings for a few minutes. Pull out a few phrases that best convey your feelings and concerns. You can have these in the back of your mind going into the conversation. You do not need to write down an entire script for yourself. In fact, doing so can make the conversation worse. You may sound disconnected when speaking to your family member, which is not something you want during a hard conversation. It's vital you talk to your family member at the right time. A poorly planned confrontation can give your family member a chance to evade or escape the conversation.  As this is a sensitive subject, choose a place that's private. You can try confronting the family member when they're at...

TL;DR in English: Learn about addiction Have an idea of what you're going to say. Pick the right time and place. Release expectations prior to the conversation.

If the situation seems threatening or dangerous, it's best to get away from the bully. Even if it is not a dangerous situation, remember that you don’t have to listen to someone saying mean things to you. The best thing to do might be to calmly walk away from the person. This will send the message that you won’t put up with this kind of treatment. Try to walk towards other people, such as towards a teacher or someone else who will not put up with bullying. It's important to report bullying right away so that someone in authority can put a stop to it. By telling someone that you are being bullied, you will be standing up for yourself and showing the bullies that you will not put up with their abuse.   Find a teacher, parent, school counselor, or someone else who can help you and immediately tell them what the bully has been saying or doing to you. Try saying something like, “Joyce is bullying me. She keeps making fun of my weight and she will not stop. I have asked her to stop, but she is still doing it. I think I need some help to make it stop.” You can also write a note to explain what is happening. Deliver the note to your teacher, school counselor, or principal. Tell someone else if the first person you tell does not do anything about the bully. Don’t accept that you will have to put up with the bullying. If you don’t feel physically threatened, using direct, assertive communication and body language is a good way to address a bully. If a bully continues to harass you even after you have walked away, calmly let them know that you will not put up with the behavior. Turn and face the bully and tell them to stop.  Don’t try to confront the bully if you feel like doing so might put you in danger. To use assertive body language, stand up tall and face the bully. Look the bully in the eye when you are speaking to them. Don’t look down and don’t try to make yourself smaller, such as by folding your arms or bringing your knees in close to your body. Pull yourself up to your full height, keep your arms at your...

TL;DR in English: Walk away. Tell someone so the bully will stop. Ask the bully to stop if you feel safe doing so. Stay calm

People from the South are known for their slow drawl. They have a drawn out way of saying their words, especially their vowels. Part of sounding really Southern is matching the slow pace of southern speech. Another aspect of a Southern accent is mixing together some of your vowels. For example, “pen” and “pin” should sound the same, like a mixture between the two words. It’s the same with “tin” and “ten.” "Get" comes out "git," and "just" as "jist" or "jis" (almost drop the t). A Southern lilt involves drawing out vowels to the point where, sometimes, they sound like two syllables. For example, “bill” turns into “bee-hill” and “short” becomes “showat.” Practice using a lilt on Say your words as though there is no “g” at the end.  This is common to most Southern accents. For example, say “fixin’” instead of “fixing” and “fishin’” instead of “fishing.” You don’t have to do this with words like “thing” or “dog,” but words with an “ing” should lose their “g”s. “Fixin’” is also a word commonly used by people with Southern accents, when you’re trying to do something. As in, “I’m fixin’ to go fishin’ this afternoon!” Perfect a few phrases that you know you can say exactly correctly. Maybe they are phrases you learned from the book you read, ones you’ve copied from a movie you watched, or ones that you learned from a friend or family member from the South. Before you tackle the entire accent, work on these phrases. "Jist-a-minute" and "Jist a second" are common. Remember that many people speak with genuine Southern accents. A person who speaks with a Southern accent does not have the option to switch it off. If you imitate a Southern accent with the intent of poking fun at the speech pattern, you might offend or otherwise disrespect people who speak with Southern accents. Consider also that the Southern accent is sometimes associated with certain stereotypes and subcultures. This is perhaps most notable in a particular stereotype of Southerners as ignorant, uncultured, and poor. Ask yourself whether it is...

TL;DR in English: Speak slowly. Mix your vowels. Speak with a lilt. Drop your “g”s. Perfect a few phrases first. Be considerate.

Turn the oven on to 400 °F (204 °C). Get out 3 1/3 pounds (1.5 kg) fresh pork knuckle and rinse them off. Use paper towels to pat them dry. Rinsing the pork knuckles will remove some of the excess saltiness from the dish. Sprinkle the pork knuckles with salt and pepper and set them aside. Peel 3 small onions and slice them in half. You can use your favorite type of onion. Pour 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of water into a shallow oven-safe dish (such as a 9 x 13 x 2 or 22 x 33 x 5 cm dish). Spread 2 1/8 cups (520 g) of sauerkraut evenly across the bottom of the dish. Place the pork knuckles on the sauerkraut. Since the pork knuckles will release some fat, greasing the pan is optional. To make clean up easier, you could spray the pan with cooking spray before placing the ingredients in the dish. Place the onion halves and 2 bay leaves  in the dish. Sprinkle the pork knuckles and sauerkraut with:  7 juniper berries 1 teaspoon (2 g) coriander 1 teaspoon (2 g) cumin 1 teaspoon (2 g) caraway Salt and pepper to taste Cover the dish with a lid and put it in the preheated oven. Bake the pork knuckles until the meat becomes completely tender. This should take about 2 hours. If the dish doesn't have a lid, cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. If you'd like crispy South African-style eisbein, remove the cooked eisbein from the oven. Turn on your broiler to high and move the oven rack so it's 3 to 4 inches (7 to 10-cm) below the heat source. Put the eisbein on a baking sheet and set the rack under the broiler. Broil and turn the meat occasionally until the skin crisps up and becomes crackly. This should take 20 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and transfer the eisbein to a serving plate. Scoop the hot sauerkraut on the side and serve the meal with boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, or mashed peas. You can store the eisbein in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Simply reheat the meat in the oven at a low temperature [no more than 350 °F (177 °C)] until it's hot throughout.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven and wash the pork knuckles. Season the pork knuckles and cut the onions. Arrange the sauerkraut and pork knuckles in a dish. Add the onion and seasonings to the dish. Bake the eisbein for 2 hours. Broil the eisbein if you want a crispy skin. Serve the eisbein.

You can apply basal bark herbicides year-round, but the bark of the privet should be dry before treatment. Additionally, the ground should not be frozen. It might be best to apply the herbicide in the late winter or early spring, before foliage develops and hides the targeted stems. Summer and fall applications are more difficult to perform properly, but can still be effective when done right. Combine 26 fluid ounces (770 ml) of an oil-soluble triclopyr ester product with enough horticultural oil to create 1 gallon (4 L) of product.  Diesel, bark oil, and kerosene are all acceptable options. Note that ready-to-use triclopyr ester herbicides are usually effective against privet, so you can opt for one of these instead of using an herbicide you need to mix. Spray or paint the bottom 12 to 15 inches (30.5 to 38 cm) of each privet stem, thoroughly wetting all sides of the bark.  Note that this may only work on privet stems less than 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. Application is easiest when you use a backpack sprayer with a low pressure spray. Attach an adjustable cone nozzle, flat-fan nozzle, or hollow-cone nozzle to the spray hose. Continue wetting the bark until it appears covered, but do not allow the herbicide to run off and puddle in the soil around the base of the stem. Basal bark treatments will kill the privet after a period of several months, so you need to give it adequate time to work. If some privet still remains after most has died off, however, you can try another application.  Ideally, any follow-up application should be made no sooner than the fall or winter if you applied the initial treatment during late winter or early spring. Before reapplying additional herbicide, evaluate your options. Small stems that may have been missed during the initial application can be successfully treated with the basal bark method. Medium stems and large stems may respond more effectively to other treatments, however.

Interval training is a form of training in which you alternate periods of moderate-intensity exercise with high-intensity exercise. Interval training may help increase fat loss, as it allows you to work out more efficiently. It also burns more calories — your body will continue to burn calories for hours after you have completed HIIT training. If you want to try interval training, decide on the length of your intervals.  Many people think interval training is complicated, but there are actually no prescriptive rules. You can choose any length for your intervals of intense activity. You can do them for up to two or three minutes, or for as short as 20 seconds. You may want to do some trial and error before setting hard and fast rules for yourself. You may find, when working out, two minute intervals wear you down fast. Instead, try going for intervals of one minute or 30 seconds. You can also alternate. You can warm up with a few intervals of 30 seconds, and then move on to intervals of a minute. Once you've decided on intervals, you can begin your routine. During that time, go at a steady pace for two to five minutes, then switch to a high-intensity pace for 30 seconds (or however long you choose). Continue this pattern for the duration of your workout routine.  Your HIIT workout should last between 20 and 30 minutes. Your heart rate should be at 85% during the high-intensity interval. When it comes to interval training targeted specifically at fat burning, rules depend heavily on your personal fitness level, target heart rate, current weight, and many other factors. Therefore, it's a good idea to discuss your desire to burn more fat with a personal trainer. He or she can help you figure out the time and duration of your intervals. Interval training comes with certain risks. You should be careful about engaging in interval training without talking to a doctor, especially if you have certain conditions.  If you have heart disease, you may want to talk to your doctor before attempting interval training. Injury...

TL;DR in English: Decide on the length of your intervals. Alternate between a slow and steady pace and short bursts of intense exercise. Talk to a personal trainer. Consider risk factors.

When creating your affirmation, it is important empty your mind and focus only on facets of your life where you want to make a change. Take time to feel in your body the deep connection that you have to your intention to change. Include in your list any criticisms others have made of you that seem to stick to in your mind. Look for the main message that you are receiving when you focus on these negative qualities and critiques. It may be something very broad, for example, "I am unworthy." or "I am not capable." These are the irrational leaps that our emotional selves are prone to make when we disappoint ourselves or others. Where do you notice sensations in your body as you engage this belief? For example, do you feel tightness or dread in your heart or stomach?  Awareness of these sensations are helpful for when it comes time to use your affirmation. You can focus on the part of your body that holds this negative belief most strongly, in order to release it. Remember: we have as many neurons in our gut as we do in our brain!  If you do not feel any sensations in your body as you consider this negative judgment, you may want to keep searching for judgments that have greater impact on you. Your sensations can serve as a guide for knowing what's important to you deep down, including what inhibits you. If not, what would be an empowering replacement? Now that you understand what you are learning to believe about yourself in the face of your flaws, you can summon the strength to form new beliefs about your potential.

TL;DR in English: Find a quiet setting where you can be alone or get comfortable tuning into yourself. Make a list of what you've always thought of as your negative qualities. Pay attention to what your body is telling you about this recurring belief. Ask yourself if this underlying belief about yourself is helpful in your life.

Separate out the stems and seeds if necessary, and use a grinder or chop up the buds with a sharp knife until they're finely chopped, but not completely powdered. Place them together in a bowl and use a spoon to mix up the buds and butter, making sure each piece is coated with fat. You want the grounds to be completely coated, but not soaked in butter; too much will inhibit the release of THC. Note: If you want a potent marijuana tea it's necessary to extract the THC from the plant. Since THC is not soluble in water alone it requires a fatty substance to cling onto under high heat. The combination of the high heat from the hot water and the fat from the butter removes the THC from the ground buds and allows you to ingest it. Use scissors to cut off the top of the bag, then empty the contents. Spoon the ground marijuana into the bag, then fold it over several times to keep the marijuana from spilling out.  If you have a metal tea ball, you can use that instead. Or use a coffee filter: place the marijuana in the center of the filter, then gather the edges and tie it up to make a little bag. Pour it into a small pan and place it over medium-high heat, so that it comes to a simmer but not a full boil. Reduce the heat if the mixture starts to boil. If the water is getting low, add a little more so it doesn't completely evaporate. The marijuana tea will be very hot so be careful and let it cool for 5 minutes. If you want flavored tea, add another teabag of your choice during the last three minutes of simmering. As with most marijuana products consumed orally, tea takes 45-60 minutes to come into full effect. Note: Even with only a 1/2 gram, this tea will create a strong high.

TL;DR in English: Grind the marijuana buds. Mix the buds with butter. Empty a tea bag and fill it with the marijuana butter mixture. Bring the water to a simmer on the stove. Simmer the teabag in the water for 30 minutes. Take it off the heat and remove the teabag. Stir in sugar or honey to taste, then enjoy.

If you really want them to stick, then you have to make them part of your daily routine. 3-4 times a day should be doable, as each Kegel session won't last very long, and you can find ways of fitting Kegels into your daily routine. You can aim to do them in the morning, afternoon, and evening so begin to do them like clockwork, instead of worrying about scheduling a time to do your Kegels. The best part about doing Kegels is that you can do them without anyone knowing. You can do them while you're sitting at your desk in your office, having lunch with your friends, or just relaxing on the couch after a long day at work. Though lying down and isolating your Kegels and focusing hard is important for beginners, once you get the hang of isolating those muscles, you can do your Kegels almost anywhere at anytime.  You can even make a habit of doing them during a routine activity, such as checking your mail or email. Once you've found a set of Kegel exercises that works for you, you should stick to this routine instead of doing even more Kegels, or doing them more strenuously. If you overdo it, you may suffer from straining when you have to urinate or move your bowels. Just remember that, while stopping urination midstream is a great way to locate your Kegels, you should not actually do your Kegels routinely while urinating or you may suffer problems associated with incontinence. For some women, the results are dramatic; for others, Kegels prevent further urinary tract problems. Some women get frustrated because they do Kegels for a few weeks and don't feel any difference. Stick with it long enough to feel the changes in your body. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), you may be able to feel results as early as after 4-6 weeks. Your doctor can help you identify and isolate the correct muscles to perform the exercise. If you feel like you've been doing Kegels for a considerable amount of time, such as a few months, and have seen no results, then you should seek help from your doctor. Here's what your...

TL;DR in English: Perform your Kegel exercises at least 3-4 times a day. Fit Kegels into your busy routine. Expect results in a few months if you do Kegels regularly. Ask for help if you don't think you're doing Kegels properly. Continue doing your Kegels if you want to keep incontinence at bay.

All snakes, including ball pythons, will grow quite a bit over the course of their lives.  Ball pythons in particular will grow quite large and will require a proper living environment as they do.  You should be prepared for this before you attempt to care for a ball python.  Female ball pythons will grow to around 3' to 5' in length, males to around 2' to 3'. You will need to provide enough space for a fully grown ball python. You will need to feed a snake of this size large rodents. Caring for any animal is a serious commitment.  You will need to feed, clean and maintain the health of your ball python over the course of its entire life.  Make sure you are ready for a long-term commitment before deciding to care for a ball python.  Ball pythons have lived up to 40 years. Generally, ball pythons will live between 20 to 30 years. Once you've decided that you can provide proper care for a ball python it's  time to go find your new friend.  Thankfully, ball pythons are very popular amongst pet owners and they are easy to find in most pet stores.  Start looking for a ball python that is right for you once you feel prepared to care for it.  Reptile breeders will likely have ball pythons available. Attending a reptile expo can also help you find your new ball python. Ball pythons should already be eating and well fed before you buy them. Snakes aren't used to being held in the wild.  As a result, you will need to know when it's acceptable to hold your snake and when it will only cause stress.  Take a look at some of these key ideas when considering if it's the right time to interact with your snake:  Allow your snake to eat one meal in its new home before trying to handle it. Wait at least a week before handling new snakes. Don't be afraid to hold the snake after that week. Young snakes should be held no more than once a week. Adult snakes can be held around once a week. Don't interact with your ball python after it's eaten.  Wait around two days after your snake eats to make sure it is comfortable. If you plan on...

TL;DR in English: Be aware of their size. Understand the long-term commitment. Look to purchase a ball python. Know how to handle a ball python. Be attentive.

Kohlrabi is a brassica, in the cabbage family. Increasingly popular, kohlrabi is also available in different varieties, all easy to grow, with slight variations in look and time to maturity. The biggest difference is whether or not you pick a green or purple variety.  Green kohlrabi varieties include the Korridor and the Winner, which mature quickly, in about 50 days, compared to about 60 for some other varieties. Bright lime-green in color, they make an attractive addition to a garden bed.  Purple kohlrabi varieties like the Azur Star and Kolibri are particularly bug-resistent, because of the purple leaves on the plant, which keep the insects away. Taste-wise, you won't notice much difference. Storage varieties like Kossak, Superschmelz, and Gigante are, as you might guess, much larger than the regular varieties of kohlrabi. They'll last longer in the cellar or the fridge, prepared correctly. Taste-wise, these varieties are all very similar. Kohlrabi should be planted in full sun, close to other roots, like potatoes, beets, onions. Kohlrabi are big drinkers and feeders, which means they'll need a good amount of water and fertile soil. It's usually recommended that you plant five or six cabbage-family plants for each member of the household. Sow three times the amount. Kohlrabi should be kept in a separate part of the garden from pole beans, tomatoes, and strawberries. Several weeks before the last frost of spring, Kohlrabi may be planted, which means you can start tilling your soil early. Kohlrabi should be planted in well-tilled soil enriched with compost. It's hardy in most conditions, though it excels in soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.8. Good drainage is also helpful in avoiding rot and blight in your kohlrabi plants, so make sure you've got an area of the garden that doesn't collect water too much. Kohlrabi is a hardy grower that should be planted about a month before the last frost in spring. Ideally, you want the plant to mature before the temperature gets much over 75 F, which means you’ll want to...

Today, buying and selling Bitcoin is easier for beginners than ever. As your first step, you'll want to sign up for something called a Bitcoin wallet. Like its name suggests, your wallet is a digital account that makes it fairly easy and convenient to buy, store, and sell your Bitcoin — think of it like a universal Bitcoin checking account. Unlike a checking account, however, starting a Bitcoin wallet usually takes less than a minute, can be done online, and is quite easy. Sites like Coinbase.com, Coinmkt.com, Blockchain.info and Hivewallet.com are are just a few examples of reputable, reliable and user-friendly sites for beginners to create their first wallet. Once you have a wallet, it's time to fill it with Bitcoin. Typically, to do this, you'll need to supply the financial details for a real-world bank account just like you would if you were setting up a PayPal account or signing up for another online payment service. Usually, you'll need at least your bank account number, the routing number for the account, and your full name as it appears on the account. You can almost always find these on your online banking account or on your paper checks.  Note that you may also be asked to provide contact information, like a phone number. To be clear, linking your bank account to your Bitcoin wallet is not any more of a risk to your personal security than it is to shop online. Virtually all reputable Bitcoin services make a point to advertise their high standards for security and encryption. While Bitcoin services have been targeted by hackers in the past, so too have many major online retailers. Once you've supplied your bank information and it's been verified by the Bitcoin service, it should be fairly easy to start purchasing BTC and adding it to your wallet. Usually, on your wallet page, there should be an option labeled "Buy Bitcoin" or something similar — clicking this should take you through a straightforward transaction process that uses money from your bank account to purchase BTC. Note that the price of...

TL;DR in English: Create a Bitcoin wallet. Link your bank account to your wallet. Buy BTC with money from your bank account. Use your Bitcoin to buy from retailers that accept it. Sell your Bitcoin to another user. Alternatively, sell your Bitcoin on an exchange.

The only time a pug can get pregnant is during her heat. Your female pug will come into heat about twice a year, or roughly once every six months. Her heat period will last about three to four weeks. She will undergo physical changes and her behavior may change some during heat. Male dogs will also be more drawn to her during this time. The best way to know for sure if your pug is in heat is to look at her genital area. During her heat, she will have a swollen vulva and release a bloody discharge. Your female pug cannot get pregnant during the whole heat cycle. She can only get pregnant when she is ovulating. This time tends to be approximately day 11 through 14 of her heat cycle.  This is the time when she wants to have the male’s company as well. The range of ovulation can vary depending on the dog. If you don’t want to wait around to check for her heat or guess when she is ovulating, you can have your vet test your pug’s heat cycle so you know exactly when it starts. This will give you the best chance for her to fall pregnant because you will know exactly when she needs to breed.  The vet may swab her vulva and analyze the cells under a microscope slide to tell exactly what stage of heat she is in and if it's a good time to mate her. You can also get an ovulation blood test, which analyzes the levels of hormones in her bloodstream and detect when she is ovulating based on the rise in hormones. During the entire heat cycle, your female pug will be attractive to all male dogs. When she is outside, make sure you keep a close eye on her to ensure that another male dog does not come and mate with her without you knowing about it. This is especially important if you let your dog free in a fenced in yard. Male dogs are known to jump fences to get to females in heat. Once you determine when your female pug is ovulating, have the male pug brought it. When you introduce them, make sure you keep them on a lead. This will keep them safe in case they don’t like each other, making sure you can separate them quickly....

TL;DR in English: Watch for her heat. Determine when she is ovulating. Have her heat cycle tested. Keep her supervised during heat. Introduce the male pug. Check for successful mating. Keep your pug healthy during pregnancy. .

First set up a time when each potential employee can come and be interviewed. But, you must still compare your options in both sitter experience and cost, if there is a cost. If one has real baby experience, but the other only has a baby doll experience, does that matter? Choose the one with only baby doll experience, unless her services cost significantly more than the other. It's safest for you and your baby doll. Medications for sicknesses can usually be cured at home but check-ups can't happen at home. If a friend has a baby doll or toy health experience you could ask her.

TL;DR in English: If you are lucky enough to have multiple babysitter choices, you have to choose one just like a real parent. Usually, these people would not do anything wrong with a baby doll. If you suspect a sitter is bad, trust your gut. Do this same thing when choosing a doctor for her.

In order to cut a pipe successfully with a hacksaw, you need to secure it so it doesn't move while it is being cut. This can be done by having someone else hold it, by placing it in a vise, or by clamping it to a workbench.  If you are cutting a piece of galvanized pipe that is already installed, such as when removing old galvanized water pipes, you still need to make sure that the pipe is secure. Make sure it is strapped down or held tightly before cutting so that it doesn't shake uncontrollably when being cut. If you are cutting a long piece of new pipe, you should have the longer end supported. This will make holding the pipe still while you are cutting it easier and it will stop the pipe pieces from falling once the pipe is cut. Wrap a pipe strap around the pipe and screw the other end into a secure overhead joist or beam. For example, if you are cutting a short piece off the end of a long pipe you will need to support the longer end while you make the cut. If you do not have a motorized saw and you need to cut a piece of galvanized pipe, you can use a hacksaw. This tool will take a bit of time and effort to use, but it will get the job done eventually. A hack saw works better for cutting steel than other types of hand saws because it typically has small teeth that are designed for cutting metal. These teeth can gradually remove the hard steel as you push and pull them. A hand saw with large teeth designed for cutting wood would not work well for cutting galvanized pipe. Once the pipe is cut you will need to clean up the cut. When cutting with a hacksaw you will leave a lot of burrs of metal on the pipe. Get rid of them by using a metal file around the cut, making extra sure to clean up burrs that have developed on the inside edge of the cut. You can also use a reamer or coarse sandpaper to clean up the burrs on the edge of the cut.

TL;DR in English: Secure the pipe. Support long pieces of pipe. Cut the pipe with a hacksaw. File the cut edge.

The first thing to do when planning a bridal shower is to consult the official guest list for the wedding. One of the biggest faux pas people make when planning a bridal shower is inviting people who are not already invited to the wedding.  Showers generally consist of people getting excited for the wedding, so inviting people to the shower and not the wedding will make them feel both excluded and uncomfortable. Showers are also centered around receiving and opening gifts, so inviting guests who are not invited to the wedding sometimes comes off as a gift grab. The bride’s maid of honor and bridesmaids are oftentimes some of her closest friends and relatives, so it’s important that they are included in the shower. Invite all female attendants, even the ones who live out of town.  Attendants who live out of town may not be able to make it, but it’s still considered good etiquette to include them. Make sure to include the flower girl and anyone else who might be playing a role in the ceremony. Ask the bride for a complete list of all her attendants to make sure you don’t accidentally overlook someone. Ask the bride to make a list of her closest friends, outside her bridal party. These are the women who should be included in the bridal shower. If the bride is having trouble narrowing this down, ask her to go through the list and point out her best friend(s) from growing up, her closest friends from college and her current group of closest friends.  You should not invite every female on the wedding guest list, so feel free to be picky in selecting the friends invited to the shower. Choose whether or not you want to invite close friends who live out of state. It’s a nice gesture to do so, but they may feel compelled to send a gift, even if they can’t attend, which might make them feel put on the spot. If there are any female family members who live close to where the shower is being held, feel free to invite them as well. This can include mothers and stepmothers on both sides, grandmothers on both sides and close...

TL;DR in English: Check the wedding invite list. Invite the bride’s attendants. Invite the bride’s closest friends. Invite local relatives. Invite the bride.

Communication is essential for a healthy sex life. When you want to get that spark back in your life, the easiest first step is to talk to your partner more often. It may help in the beginning to have an open and honest conversation together about your sex life. Try and determine what might have led to the spark fading. Once you understand some of the causes you can begin to find solutions for them. Consider factors like the following.  A preoccupation with other responsibilities or life events. Emotional rifts in your relationship. Health crises A natural decline due to age. It can be easy to get into bad habits or routines such as watching TV during dinner, or looking through your phone before you go to sleep. Change up your routine and instead use this time to talk about your relationship or your sex life. Schedule or set aside time to talk. Focus on connecting with each other and being present in the moment. Also while you're talking make sure you talk about each others sexual preferences so you know how to spice up the bedroom experience. This is vital if you want your sex to get better.   Make evening meals a chance to discuss what you want for your future. Try turning off the TV and lighting some candles instead. Choose one night a week to designate as date night with your partner.  Write love letters to each other and read them before bed. Intimacy means more than just having sex. You can increase intimacy through conversation, sharing experiences, and developing trust. Increasing your intimacy helps show your partner that you love them and want to rekindle your spark. It will also help you be present in your relationship and you sex life as well. Take the time to focus on each other in ways you maybe have not been able to in a while. Try the following.  Face each other and make eye contact when you are talking or while silent. Be silly and share laughter together. Ask each other deeper questions about hopes, dreams, and memories. For example, "What is your most treasured memory?" or "What are your...

TL;DR in English:


Scale the measurements. Build the floor. Build the solid wall. Connect the floor to the wall. Make the front panel. Build the back wall. Construct the last wall. Attach the wall.

Almost any teacher will go to extra help. Don’t be too proud to ask – you’ll develop a relationship with your teacher and it will help a lot. Your teacher will appreciate that you came in looking for more help and the teacher will know what you need to work on in the future.   This is highly recommended. You have to be honest with yourself here. Is the issue that you aren’t trying hard enough, or that you really just don’t understand math? If you’re not trying hard enough, you need to work harder to practice on your own. There’s no way to understand math if you aren’t willing to put in the work. However, if you have been practicing on your own and you just can’t wrap your head around a certain subject, then it’s perfectly logical to ask for help. If you’re willing to spend money, hiring a professional tutor can be a huge help when it comes to understanding a subject. Professional tutors are often very expensive, but if you hire an older student the price might come down. Tutors will sit down with you one on one and work you through your problems. If you don’t want to hire a tutor or go to extra help another good option is to ask a peer.  There is bound to be someone in the math class who understands the concepts well. Find this person and develop a relationship with them. Ask them if they would be willing to sit down with you over lunch and help you with a couple of topics you are struggling with. Don’t take advantage of them and never try to copy their answers – just use them as a resource. There’s no reason to be too proud to ask for help. That’s a good skill to develop in life.

TL;DR in English: Go for extra help. Practice more on your own. Hire a tutor. Look to a friend or peer for guidance.

Take a step back and look at your sprite up to this point. Determine if anything looks off, and then go into correct those inconsistencies or errors. After you've finished coloring and shading, you can add details such as writing, eyes, additional features, and anything else that could take your sprite to the next level. The attention to detail at the end is what separates amateur from professional pixel artists. If you've followed the steps above, you'll have a single static sprite. This is fine as a piece of art, but if you want to make sprites for games they'll likely need to be animated. This means that each frame of animation will have to have its own sprite, with slight changes from the previous frame. The collection of all the sprites used in an animation is called a "sprite sheet".  See this guide for detail on animating a sprite sheet in GIMP. Creating unique and attractive animations for sprites is one way that master pixel artists separate themselves from amateurs. A good animation can breathe a ton of life into a sprite. If you want to take your pixel art skills into the video game development world, you'll want to have a solid portfolio to show off to prospective employers. Include several of your best sprites, as well as some animations if you have them. Include a variety of subjects, including characters, scenery, props, and more.

TL;DR in English: Give the sprite a good look over. Add details. Animate your sprite. Create a portfolio.

Download software from the original developer whenever possible. Be wary of software that asks for your personal information or tries to install additional programs.  Windows users should be especially cautious of executables (.exe, .msi) from unknown sources. Microsoft uses digital signature for trusted developers and you will be notified if your installer does not have one. Mac OSX 10.8 and later only allow installations from trusted developers by default. You can check this setting in “System Preferences > Security and Privacy”. By default, Android users can only install from the Play Store, but can allow installing from unknown sources in the settings. To check the setting go to “Settings > Security > Unknown Sources”. Make sure the feature is off to prevent accidental installation from potentially harmful .apk files. iOS users can only install from the App Store unless the device is jailbroken. Keeping your browser up to date ensures the latest security fixes are active while you browse the web. Many modern browsers will update themselves in the background as they become available.  Chrome users can go to “Menu > Settings > About” to update. Firefox users can go to “☰ > ? > About Firefox” to update. Safari users can update by opening the Mac App Store and clicking the "Update" tab at the top. Microsoft will now update Internet Explorer/Edge automatically. Those using an OS older than Windows 10 can go to “Control Panel > Windows Update” to download the latest updates for Windows and Internet Explorer. Ads and popups can often lead to websites that contain malicious software. Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all support the installation of third party extensions to block the appearance of most ads. In order to install ad-block software on your mobile device, you will need to root or jailbreak it. Updating your OS ensures that you have the latest security fixes for your device.  Android users can go to “Settings > About > System Updates” to check for the latest software available for the device. Keep in mind...

TL;DR in English: Download files only from trusted sources. Make sure your web browser is up to date. Install an ad-block extension. Make sure your operating system is up to date.

One option would be to build and mount your panels on a cart. This would place the panel at an angle but allow you to change which direction the panel faces in order to increase the amount of sun it gets in a day. This will, however, require you to adjust the panel 2-3 times a day. This is a popular way to mount the panels because they tend to receive the most sunlight and are out of the way. However, the angle will need to be consistent with the sun’s path and your peak load time. This will limit you to only getting full exposure at certain times of day. This option is best if you have a large number of panels and very little ground space to place them on. The stands usually used to mount satellite dishes can also be used to mount solar panels. They can even be programmed to move with the sun. However, this option will only work if you have a very small number of solar panels.

TL;DR in English: Mount your panels on a cart. Mount your panels on your roof. Mount your panels on a satellite stand.

This basic coop is 4 feet (1.2 m) by 6 feet (24 square feet of floor space). If you need more or less space, feel free to scale the measurements accordingly. To make both building and cleaning as easy as possible, start with a piece of plywood cut to the ideal size (in this case, 4 feet by 6 feet). Be sure that the plywood is between 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) and 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.  If you are cutting the plywood yourself, use a straight edge and an easy-to-see pen to make lines before you cut. Screw on the frame. To keep the floor sturdy, screw 2x4s around the bottom perimeter. You may also want to screw one across the middle of the floor for extra security. To ensure a tight joint on the corners, use a long pipe clamp. This is the only one of the walls that will not have an opening, and thus it is the easiest to build. Use a 6 foot (1.8 m) long, 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick piece of plywood. Screw 2x2s to the underside of the vertical edges. Be sure that the 2x2s stop 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the bottom of the plywood. Place the wall on the floor so that the extra 4 inches (10.2 cm) of plywood covers the 2x4s on the underside of the floor. Then, secure the wall in place using 1 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) screws and construction glue. Use 1 and 1/2 inch screws and construction glue to attach a 4 foot (1.2 m) long, 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick piece of plywood to the front of the coop. Screw the plywood into the 2x4s on the bottom of the coop and the 2x2s on the solid side wall. Then, cut the door opening.  Plan the front door opening before you cut. The door opening should be 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) wide. Cut the height according to your preferences, but keep in mind that you should leave 6 to 10 inches (15.2 to 25.4 cm) between the edges of the door and the top and bottom of the plywood panel.  Use a Jigsaw to make the cut. This will give you the easiest, smoothest cut. When you are done, reinforce the top of the door using a piece of scrap wood about 20 inches (50.8 cm) long and thick enough to attach using plenty of screws...

TL;DR in English:


Drill holes into the marked areas. Use a stud finder to determine how many wall anchors you'll need. Install wall anchors. Screw in the brackets. Make sure the brackets can support the rod.

Combine the hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly mixed.  This sauce does not need to be thickened with heat. If you'd rather not use freshly minced garlic or freshly grated ginger, you can use their powdered forms instead. Use only 1/8 tsp (0.6 ml) of each when opting for the ground and dried versions. Lightly brush this glaze over the ham immediately before baking it. Once the ham is halfway through its anticipated cooking time, apply the remainder of the glaze and continue baking the ham.  Note that you may need to quickly whisk the glaze together again prior to each application. The exact times will vary depending on the weight of the ham. You'll usually need to bake ham for 15 to 20 minutes per 1 lb (450 g) at a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius). For an 8-lb (3.6-kg) ham, you'll need to cook it for about 1 hour before reapplying the second coat; cook it for another 60 to 90 minutes after that.

TL;DR in English: Whisk the ingredients together. Brush the glaze over the ham before and during baking.

Empty calories are calories which contain little or no significant nutrients. Empty calories will provide nothing to you or your baby and only lead you to gain more weight. Because of this, if you are trying to lose that post baby weight then you are really going to want to avoid empty calories.  Empty calories are generally associated with sugars and solid fats. Examples of common sources of empty calories are ice cream, cookies, soda, cheap juices, cake, pizza, cheese, and butter. Occasional indulgences, such as for a birthday celebration, are okay but these should not hold a common place in your diet. Many people eat too much food when they do eat. Eating smaller amounts of food at one time can help you stick to a reasonable calorie count. To get yourself eating better portions of food, try using a side or salad plate to eat your meal. Come back for seconds only if you are still hungry after 15 minutes.  A good rule of thumb is that if you’re eating as much as you would in a restaurant, you might be eating too much. You’ll also need to learn to recognize when you’re really full. Remember: you don’t want to feel stuffed. You just want to feel not-hungry. Waiting for your food to begin to digest can help you to realize when you’re really full. This is great for preventing over-eating and even more post-baby weight gain. Give your body 15 minutes after eating a small meal and then go back for (a smaller portion of) seconds if you’re still hungry or top it off with healthy snacks, like broccoli. Another technique is to eat micro meals, or basically really healthy snacks, and skip the standard “two big meals” altogether. By eating small amounts of food throughout the day, you can feel more full and energetic. This is also easier on a new mom, since finding time to cook and eat can be really tough. A sample daily diet would look like a bowl of oatmeal, a banana, and a protein shake when you wake up, celery sticks on your way to work, a cup of yogurt and two pieces of whole grain toast at 10, a turkey sandwich...

TL;DR in English: Avoid empty calories at all costs. Practice portion control. Wait for your food to settle. Eat frequent micro meals. Follow your body's cues as your baby weans.

hrink your pores. The regular application of tomato juice to your face can shrink your pores, leading to a clearer complexion. For maximum effectiveness, mix about 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of fresh tomato juice with 2 to 4 drops of fresh lime or lemon juice. Apply this solution to your face using a sterile cotton ball, gently massaging it in small circles. Leave the solution on your face for 5 to 15 minutes before rinsing it off with cool to lukewarm water. Tomato juice can be used to dry out oil on your skin. Before applying the juice, mix it with equal parts cucumber juice. Cucumbers hydrate your skin, which will prevent it from becoming dry and flaky once you strip the oils using the tomato juice. Use a cotton ball to apply the mix onto the oiliest parts of your face each day. Tomato juice can neutralize and cool the skin, and the lycopene in tomatoes can help shield the skin against UV light rays.  Mix about 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of tomato juice with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) plain yogurt. Apply the mask to any part of your skin that caught a little too much sun and leave it on for about 20 minutes before washing it off with cool to lukewarm water. The yogurt works with the tomato to return lost protein to your skin, making it softer. Applying a mixture made with 2 tablespoons tomato juice and 4 tablespoons buttermilk can accomplish the same goal. Leave this concoction on your sunburnt skin for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with cool to lukewarm water. . The vitamin A and vitamin C in tomato juice can help brighten a dull complexion. Mix enough honey into the tomato juice to form a thick paste, and then apply this paste onto your face. Allow it to dry for about 15 minutes before washing it off with a gentle cleanser and warm water. . The vitamins in tomato juice can also add the natural shine back to dull, lifeless hair.  Apply a small amount of tomato juice to your scalp and hair after you wash it with shampoo. Leave it in for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing it out, as you might do with a...

Leave your computer on and open a program, email, or project that you’re supposed to be working on. Minimize any web page or game that you’re playing whenever someone gets close so that they only see your decoy screen.  Even if someone sees you not working, they’ll see the screen and think that you’re just taking a short break instead of actively avoiding work. There are also several online programs that disguise social media websites on your work computer. MS Outlook will make social media sites look like an email program and MS Word will put web forums into a Microsoft Word document. Pick up your office phone and dial *72. Once you hear a dial tone, enter your cell phone number. This will forward calls from your office phone to your cell phone, allowing you to respond to colleagues like you’re in the office, even if you aren’t.  To turn call forwarding off, press *73 on your office phone.  If anyone finds out and asks why you’ve forwarded your phone, you can always flip it to make it seem like you’re working harder by explaining that you don’t want to miss any work calls after hours. One of the biggest signs that you aren’t actually working will be inactivity on email. If you fail to respond to urgent or time-sensitive emails, people will become suspicious that you aren’t doing what you’re supposed to. Answer the occasional work-related email to give the impression that you’re at least paying attention.

TL;DR in English: Use a decoy screen if you want to hide your web surfing. Forward your office phone to your cell phone so callers think you’re at work. Keep an eye on your email when you’re not working to appear attentive.

Even aloe vera can cause irritation when applied to open sores. Do not apply essential oils if they are causing a rash, burning, or irritation. You may be allergic, or you may be applying too potent a concentration of oil. Dilute lemon balm and peppermint oil before applying them to your skin. Do not treat cold sores in children with peppermint oil. Aloe gel may be used on the skin, but should not be taken orally. Lemon balm may be used topically on children. Speak to your child's doctor about appropriate dosages. Peppermint oil is likely safe for pregnant people, and may relieve nausea if drunk as a tea. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take lemon balm. Aloe may be used on the skin, but should not be taken orally.

TL;DR in English: Do not apply essential oils to open sores. Use caution when applying essential oils to children. Use caution when using essential oils while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Screwing in your brackets without pre-drilling holes will make your wall at-risk for hairline fractures. Use a drill to make small holes, as holes too large for the screw can leave your rods loose. You can make the hole larger later if the screws do not fit into the hole. Base the hole size on the size of your screws. Each hole should be identical in size to the screw's body. If you have wall studs installed next to the drilled areas, you will not need to install wall anchors. Instead, you'll be able to directly screw in your curtain brackets. Mark the holes next to wall studs, and purchase any additional anchors as needed. To use a stud finder, run the device along the wall and watch the screen to see if a stud has been detected. Mark the intended hanging points for your wall anchors with a pencil. Use a drill to make holes in the wall for any needed anchors. Place the anchor through the hole and tap it in with a hammer until it is secure. Install one anchor per bracket screw.  The holes drilled for the wall anchors should be separate from the holes drilled for the screws earlier. Avoid making the hole wider than the anchor. The hole should be about the same length as the anchor's attachment areas to avoid loose wall anchors. After your wall anchors are secure, place the brackets up against the wall and place your screws into the pre-drilled holes. The wall anchor will keep the screws supported while they bear the rod's weight. Use a stepladder to make sure you are level with the wall so the screws aren't installed at an angle. After the brackets have been installed, hang the rod overhead (or screw your rod into the bracket) to make sure your brackets can handle the curtain rod's weight. If not, you may need to reinstall heavy-duty brackets (which can be purchased at specialty hardware stores). If the brackets seem loose or if they seem to move slightly under the rod's weight, they are probably not strong enough to support the curtain rod.

TL;DR in English:


Pick up a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator or Laminar Research's X-Plane. Check out weather products such as METARS and TAFs even on days you don't fly. Raise the nose of the airplane by pulling the control wheel toward you. Use the throttle control to help the airplane climb and control your speed. Push the control wheel away from you and reduce power to descend. Turn the control wheel left to raise the right wing.

You can etch just about anything onto wood, from pictures to symbols to words and phrases. Create your design on a sheet of paper or print it off of the computer. If you are just starting out, a simple design with lots of straight lines will be the easiest to engrave. Transfer the design to your project using one of the methods listed below. You can design and cut your own stencil, or you can buy one from the store. Place the stencil over the wood where you want the design to go. Secure it with painter's tape, then trace the designs with a pencil. Put the stencil away when you are done. You can cut stencils out of blank stencil plastic, quilter's template plastic, contact paper, cardstock, or even freezer paper. Place the graphite paper onto the wood, graphite-side-down. Secure it with painter's tape, then sketch out your design on top of the paper. Remove the graphite paper hen you are done; your design should be imprinted on top of the wood. If you printed your design from the computer, coat the back of the paper with graphite, then use it as directed above. This is the quickest and easiest way to transfer your design onto the wood. It requires a precise and steady hand, however. While it is possible to erase mistakes from wood, the less erasing you have to do, the better.

TL;DR in English: Choose your design. Trace designs using stencils if you want something easy. Use graphite paper if you want to transfer a custom design. Draw your design directly onto the wood with pencil if you are a good artist.

Stretch marks usually fade from a deep red to a pale silver over time. You can help them fade faster and to a less noticeable color by protecting your skin from sun damage. The sun's rays can weaken the skin and cause the stretch marks to look worse.  Use sunscreen with a SPF 15 or higher each time you expose your stretch marks to the sun. Be sure to reapply it regularly. If you get a light burn, treat it with aloe vera to help heal the skin as quickly as possible. Keeping your skin moisturized won't directly fade stretch marks, but it can help your skin stay healthy and supple. Skin that is dry tends to lose elasticity, which can make stretch marks and other blemishes stand out all the more. While there is no definite way to prevent stretch marks, some say that keeping your skin moisturized keeps them from looking too severe.  Regularly exfoliate your skin before bathing, then apply a rich moisturizer to the area where you have stretch marks to keep your skin from getting dry. If you have very dry skin, try using a room humidifier to keep the air in your home moist. Aim to keep the humidity between 30 and 50 percent for soft, well-moisturized skin. When your body is dehydrated, your skin tends to show wrinkles more easily. The same goes for stretch marks. Hydrating your body makes your skin look healthy and supple, helping to make the appearance of stretch marks less severe.  Drink water when you feel thirsty. Try carrying a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day so you'll always have a drink on hand. Replace alcoholic and caffeinated drinks with water whenever possible. Cigarette smoke deteriorates the skin. Any skin blemish you have will only worsen if you're in frequent contact with cigarette smoke. To keep your skin looking young and healthy, take measures to  quit smoking as soon as possible.

TL;DR in English: Protect stretch marks from the sun. Keep the area moisturized. Stay hydrated. Stop smoking.

Recognize that your own life and death, as well as the lives of other creatures, are all parts of the same cycle or life-process. Life and death, rather than being two completely different events, are actually always occurring at the same time. The cells in our bodies, for example, are continuously dying and regenerating in different ways throughout an individual lifetime. This helps our bodies adapt and grow within the world around us. Our bodies serve as fertile ecosystems for countless different life forms, especially after our own lives come to an end.  While we are alive, our gastrointestinal system is home to millions of micro-organisms. These all help our bodies stay healthy enough to support proper immune functioning, and, in certain ways, even complex cognitive processing. On a much larger, macro level, our lives fit together in unique ways to form societies and local communities which depend upon our bodies' energy and actions in order to sustain some degree of organization. Your own life is composed of the same mechanisms and materials as other lives around you. Understanding this point can help you become more comfortable with the thought of a world without your particular self still being around. Go on meditative walks in nature. Or, you can simply spend more time outside around many different life forms. These activities can be great ways to become more comfortable with the realization that you're a part of a larger world. Try thinking that after you die you will go somewhere happy.  Many religions believe in this. If you ascribe to a particular religion, you may find comfort in considering what your religion believes about the afterlife.

TL;DR in English: Consider how life and death are part of the same cycle. Think about how your body is part of a complex ecosystem. Know the role your body plays in the grand scheme of things. Spend time in nature. Consider the afterlife.

Take a deep breath and wait before speaking.  Sometimes the person will move onto another topic without skipping a beat, saving you the trouble. Giving yourself a moment allows you to think before you speak prevents you from overreacting or saying something you might later regret.  Have some responses worked out ahead of time to the annoying questions you know you'll be asked. Repeating what someone says to you is the best way to let them know they were heard. Listening is a skill, and repeating what they say can show them not only what they said, but how it feels to hear those words. If your relative is being super annoying, try changing the subject or ask them a question, out of the blue. When you do decide to speak, answer respectfully and only to the detail you wish. When they ask you questions, try to answer authentically if and when you can. Learn to listen better. Listening isn't just waiting until another person is finished talking. Maybe you know that your cherished political beliefs differ from your relatives', or that your body piercings and blue hair make your grandparents cringe. When you can, temper your perspectives and if possible, your appearance, just to keep the peace.  Try to avoid sensitive or provocative topics; instead, suggest useful alternatives. If they say something to you, good or bad, just say thank you and move on.  Don't argue with them all the time. Arguing with another person is what creates conflict. Not every strange, awful, rude or ignorant thing they say needs to be corrected. If they say something mean or odd about someone you care about or love, you will probably want to stand up to them, so prepare some answers and comments ahead of time. Needing a break from a person is not a flaw, and you can duck out of the conversation if you need to by excusing yourself and then returning when you have had a chance to collect yourself. If you need another break, take it! Repeat as necessary. Maybe you're trying out having a conversation where before you would have avoided it, or...

TL;DR in English: If you do speak, wait before you reply. Repeat the annoying thing they said. Change the subject. When you speak, be respectful, genuine, and diplomatic. Avoid trigger topics, yours and theirs. Choose your battles wisely. If you need a break, take one. Know your limits, and defend your boundaries. Let it go, and walk away.

Patches of pebbles can run through your plants, looking like a walkway. You can also add tiny piles of pebbles here and there to create mini rock gardens. You can gather tiny pebbles from outdoors or buy pebbles online or at a greenhouse. To add some flare, think about adding colorful gemstones alongside the pebbles. This can add some color and give off a fairytale vibe. Every fairy garden needs a tiny house for your fairies to live. Local craft or art stories may sell tiny house figurines, like little log cabins or tee-pees. You can also look at items you have lying around the house and repurpose them for your fairy garden. For example, if you have a small birdhouse you've never used, place it in your garden. If you want, you can decorate your fairy house before putting it in your garden. Something like an old birdhouse can be painted or stenciled to create fun designs. Websites like Etsy, as well as local craft stores or craft fairs, often sell miniature items that can be added to your fairy garden. You can add woodland creatures, like deer and rabbits, to the grassier areas of the garden. You can also put tiny furniture, like miniature lawn chairs, near the house for your fairies to sit on. Miniature items are a must for a fairy house, as it creates the sense tiny people live in your garden. If you live near the ocean, you can gather seashells and wash them. You can also buy seashells at a craft store or online. Place seashells upside down throughout your garden and fill them with splashes of water. These will look like birdbaths for the little birds that visit your fairy garden. If you have miniature bird figurines, try placing them in the bird baths for an added effect. Take popsicle sticks and strips or squares of paper. Write things on the paper, like "Fairy House" and "Woods," labeling the various parts of your garden. Then, stick your signs in the dirt throughout your fairy garden. Decorate your signs as much as you want. things like glitter and sequins can give off a magical feel for your garden.

TL;DR in English: Fill in bare ground with pebbles. Create a fairy house. Invest in miniature figurines. Add small seashells as bird baths. Make sign posts out of popsicle sticks.

It doesn't have to be the latest version if your computer is older. Flight simulators will help you learn about the instruments and systems found in a typical trainer aircraft as well as make you familiar with maneuvers and procedures you will need to master for your private pilot exam. Thus you will need to spend less time and money on actual flight lessons, which are quite expensive. X-Plane's website truthfully says that if a flight simulator can save you an hour with a controller, it will have effectively paid for itself. Remember that while flight simulators are good for procedures training, they won't give you all of the stick-and-rudder skills to fly a real airplane. See if conditions match what those products indicate.  That way, when you do fly, you'll have a higher confidence in the weather predictions. This will make the airplane climb or stall if you pull back too far. Pitch changes speed, power changes altitude.   This will cause the plane to bank resulting in a left turn. You also need to add left rudder (the left peddle) to keep the plane coordinated. Same thing to turn right but use the right controls

Create a cleaner with dish soap. Add the cleaner to the cloth. Apply cleaner with a cotton swab in difficult areas.

Preheat the oven at 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Let your pastry dough thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out each sheet of dough until it is a 10 inch (25.4 cm) by 12 inch rectangle. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of water. Brush the mixture along the surface of the dough. Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese, Gruyère cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper on each piece of pastry. Use a rolling pin to gently press the ingredients into the dough. Cut each sheet on the short side into 11 or 12 small strips with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Twist each strip and lay them on the baking sheets. You should have 22-24 straws when done. Cook the straws for 10 to 15 minutes. They should be lightly brown and puffy. Turn each straw over and cook for another 2 minutes. Take them out and let them cool. Serve at room temperature. Make sure you do not overcook these. The cheese will burn.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven. Shape the dough. Make the straws. Cook the straws.

If you want water that glows in different colors (instead of the yellow that is produced by almost all other methods), buy paint in different shades. Try blue, red, and yellow, which you can mix up to create more shades.  Glow-in-the-dark paints will glow without the presence of a blacklight--they can be charged by exposure to regular light. The fluorescent paints will only respond to the UV rays from a blacklight. Look for paints that are designed for kids and are 100% non-toxic. Using clear glasses or bottles will allow your glowing fluid to be bright and visible. Using hot water will dilute the paint faster, so you will see faster results. There's not a precise measurement for the paint--just add a little and, if you need more, mix in another few drops. Stir the paint vigorously until it mixes into the water. If you are using glow-in-the-dark paint, check the instructions on how to "charge" them so they glow. Usually you need to expose the paint to sunlight for several minutes before it will glow. The fluorescent paints will only glow if you have a blacklight. Have fun painting with these colors, mixing water to create new shades, or doing other crafts.

TL;DR in English: Purchase glow-in-the-dark or fluorescent paint from a craft store. Set up containers for your different colors, filling each container with hot water. Add a dollop of paint to the water and stir. Turn out the lights and turn on a blacklight if you are using fluorescent paints. Finished.

Lay your fabric flat (or folded in half, if the pattern directs you to do so) and place your pattern over the top. Follow your traced lines and the guide to cut out your fabric in the matching shapes. If you are using a dress for the pattern use your traced outline of half the dress, drawn after being folded in half and placed along the folded edge. Cut along this line, and unfold the fabric to expose a complete front of your dress.  Add ½ inch of extra fabric around the edges of the dress for seam allowances. Most patterns already have this included in their measurements, but you will need to keep this in mind if you are tracing a dress for your pattern. If you want to add sleeves to your dress, these will need to be cut as separate pieces from the body of the dress. Cut your dress fabric in a tank-style top and then sew your sleeves on later. Be sure to cut the fabric for the back of this dress as well at this point, using the same method as you did to cut the front. Follow the sewing directions on your pattern. Typically the sides of the dress will be sewn first. Turn your fabric inside-out and fold ¼ of an inch over on either side, using an iron to flatten it out. Then, use a zigzag stitch to sew the front and back together, and a top stitch to attach your newly formed seam to the body of the dress. The top stitch will help the fabric to lay flat along the seam and add a more professional look to your dress.  Follow any specific directions on your pattern for sewing additional sections of your dress. If your pattern directs you to sew something other than the sides first, do so. For a simple neckline, fold over ¼ inch of fabric along the edge and iron it flat. Use a straight stitch along the collar to sew the edges in place and keep them from fraying. You can adjust how deep the neckline plunges by measuring the distance from your waist to the desired area on your bust, and adjusting your fabric accordingly. On the bottom of the dress, fold over ¼ of an inch of fabric and iron it down flat. If you have...

TL;DR in English: Cut your fabric. Begin sewing. Sew the neckline. Add the hem. Finish off your dress.

When you do wash your hair, use cool water instead of hot. This is especially important if you have never bleached or dyed your hair before. Make sure that you use products specially formulated for colored hair. Not only will they keep the color bright and prevent it from fading, but they will also have hydrate and nourish your hair. Dyed hair is often brittle and dry, so you will need to add moisture back into it. The best way to do this is with a hair mask. After you finish shampooing and rinsing your hair, skip the conditioner and apply the mask instead. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse it out. You can also apply raw coconut oil to your hair instead. Heat styling is damaging enough as it is. Combined with harsh bleaching and dyeing, it can ruin your hair even further. If you do decide to heat style your hair, apply a heat protectant first and use a lower temperature, if possible.

TL;DR in English: Wait 24 to 48 hours before washing your hair again. Wash your hair with color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Use a deep conditioning mask one a week. Limit the heat styling.

On December 28th, also known as Holy Innocents’ Day, many people play jokes on others. It’s equivalent to April Fools Day in the United States. On top of playing pranks on one another, many cities have their own special festivals.  Visit Jalance for the Fiesta de los Locos, or Crazy People’s Dance. Ibi holds a Flour Battle, or Els Enfarinats Festival throughout the day. Celebrated on January 5th, towns across the country hold parties and parades to commemorate the arrival of the Three Kings the following day. Spend the night in Madrid or Barcelona to see parades with massive floats. Children expect larger gifts from the Three Kings overnight, so they often leave their shoes on windowsills or balconies to be filled with presents. Children wake up on January 6th and open the presents that the Three Kings brought them. Exchange gifts throughout the day. Afterward, have a large feast to celebrate. Enjoy a Roscón de Reyes, a ring-shaped fruit cake with a figurine baked inside. Whoever finds the figurine becomes the king of the day!

TL;DR in English: Play pranks on one another on Dia de Los Santos Inocentes. Go to a parade on the eve of Epiphany. Give large gifts to one another on Three Kings’ Day.

Most of the time, adding a bit of water to the cloth may be all you need. When it's extra smudged, try adding a tiny bit of dish-washing soap. Dilute it heavily. Even a single drop in a cup of water may be enough. Dip a new cloth in the cleaner, as you've already picked up a lot of dirt with the last cloth. You can also spray the cleaner onto the cloth instead of dipping. Wring out any excess, and rub down the screen in a circular motion. This method should remove any smudges that are left. If you can't get into the corners with your cloth, a cotton swab may solve the problem. Put a bit of cleaner on the swab, and rub it into the corners to get out the smudges.

TL;DR in English:


Locate your lint trap. Locate your lint filter. Remove the lint filter from the lint trap. Remove any visible lint from the filter. Vacuum the filter screen. Vacuum the lint trap. Wipe around the lint trap and the filter area. Wipe down the inside of the dryer door. Insert the lint filter into the lint trap. Deep clean the filters approximately once per month.

Get your oven heating and prepare your baking pan while you boil the pretzel bread. Turn the oven on to 400°F (204°C). To make the boiling solution, put 3 quarts (2.8 liters) of water and 3/4 cup (135 g) of baking soda into a large saucepan or pot over high heat. Bring the solution to a boil. To prepare your baking pan, simply grease it lightly with shortening or butter. Remove your dough from the greased bowl and punch it straight down. Divide the dough into two large pieces and roll each into a smooth ball that is tightly packed. Place the loaves in the boiling solution for 1 minute. Turn them using tongs and boil them for 1 more minute. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them from the solution.  To evenly divide the proved dough, you can cut it in half using a sharp knife or a bench scraper. Always use caution when handling boiling liquid. Use oven mitts when touching the handles of your pot. Set both boiled loaves on your greased baking sheet. Brush the beaten egg over the tops and sides of the loaves using a pastry brush. Take a sharp knife and score a cross in the top of each loaf. Bake the loaves for 15 minutes. You can leave off the egg wash, although your pretzel bread won't be as shiny or glossy after it bakes. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake the loaves for another 10 to 12 minutes. The pretzel bread should look brown. Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven. Take the loaves off of the sheet and let them cool on a wire rack.

TL;DR in English: Turn on your oven and prepare a boiling solution. Form 2 loaves and boil them. Bake the pretzel bread. Finish baking the pretzel bread.

This trick involves a bit of preparation. It’s easiest to start the trick with your bottom card facing the opposite direction as the rest of the deck. If you flipped your deck over, it would look the same.  If you are skilled enough at sleight of hand, you can quickly flip the bottom card over after you shuffle the deck.   One way to attempt to flip the bottom card after a shuffle is to finish shuffling with an overhand shuffle. Take the last card from your overhand shuffle and flip it back onto the bottom of the deck facing the opposite direction. You have to do this quickly so no one sees. Angle your hands so your audience won’t see the bottom of the deck. With your bottom card facing the other direction, fan out the deck without showing the bottom card.  Make sure to fan the cards out more in the middle of the deck. Angle the cards down slightly so your audience mostly sees the tops of the cards. Have your volunteer pick a card from somewhere in the deck.  If you want, you can run your thumb along the outer edges of the fanned out cards and ask your volunteer to say “stop” at a certain point. When your spectator says “stop”, you ask your spectator to take the card your thumb is on. This gives you a little bit more control so you ensure your spectator doesn’t pick your upside down card. Ask your spectator to memorize the card and show it to the rest of audience.  As soon as your spectator takes a card, you want to re-stack the deck. While your audience is distracted by the card, flip your deck over so the bottom is now the top. During this moment, discretely flip your deck. To help you do this unseen, you can lower the deck a bit. Also, cover the front of it with one hand while you turn it over so your audience doesn’t see what you’re doing. Your deck will now be upside but look normal to your audience. Be careful to keep the deck stacked here so that your audience doesn’t notice that your deck is flipped. Explain that you are tapping the deck to trigger its magical properties. This will help with the...

TL;DR in English: Start with the bottom card of the deck upside down. Fan out the cards. Ask for a volunteer. Flip your deck over as your spectator looks at the card. Ask your spectator to place the card back in the deck. Tap your deck three times. Fan out the cards to reveal your spectator’s card facing up.

It is very important to keep your face clean when trying to prevent pimples. Washing your face removes dirt, impurities and any excess oil that has built up on the surface of your skin. Ideally, you should wash your face three times a day, in the morning and noon and in the evening, using warm water and a mild facial cleanser. Use a clean dry towel to pat your face dry.  Avoid scrubbing your face with a rough washcloth, sponge or loofah. This will only irritate the skin and cause pimples to become even more inflamed. Washcloths may also harbor bacteria, which you want to avoid putting in contact with your face. Even though you may be tempted to wash your face more than twice a day if you're suffering from pimples, be aware that this will not necessarily help your skin. Washing your face too often can dry out the skin and cause it to become irritated. After washing it is important to apply a good moisturizer to hydrate the skin and prevent it from becoming dry and irritated. However, if you suffer from pimples it is important that you use the right type of moisturizer for your skin type. Heavy, oily moisturizers can clog your pores and lead to further breakouts. Look for moisturizers which say "noncomedogenic" on the label -- this means that they should not cause your skin to breakout.   In addition to looking out for noncomedogenic moisturizers, you should be careful to choose a product that suits your skin type. For example, if you have very oily skin you may want to use a lighter, gel-based moisturizer, whereas if you have dry, flaky skin, you may need a heavier, cream-based one. Make sure you wash your hands immediately before applying moisturizer. Otherwise, any bacteria or germs on your hands may be transferred to your face when you apply your moisturizer. Hands come into contact with more dirt and bacteria throughout the day than any other part of the body, which is why you should avoid touching your face at all costs. In addition to spreading bacteria and risking infection, touching spots and pimples...

TL;DR in English: Wash your face twice a day. Use a noncomedogenic moisturizer. Avoid touching your face or popping pimples. Use exfoliating treatments and face masks once a week. Avoid overloading your skin with products. Protect your skin from the sun. Eat well. Drink plenty of water.

Try sitting in a room by yourself or positioning yourself outside (if you don't find the natural sounds too disruptive). On the floor, ground, or on a cushion, sit in a lotus or half-lotus position with your knees bent and your feet resting on or near the opposite thighs. Tilt your head down and let your eyes rest about two to three feet in front of you.  Keep your spine straight but not rigid. Fold your hands loosely and allow them to rest on your belly. You can perform this meditation in a chair as well. Just make sure you sit up straight (again, keeping the spine relaxed). Each eye needs its own object. One should be only in the left eye’s field of vision, the other in only the right eye’s field of vision. Each object should also be stationary.  Each object should be at a slightly greater than 45-degree angle from your face. This is close enough that your eyes can be in the normal position facing forward while simultaneously being able to focus individually on two separate objects, each unable to see the object on the opposite side. For best results, make sure each object is two or three feet in front of you so you can sit, eyes half-open and chin tucked in, just as you would in a Zazen meditation position. Each eye is fully aware of the presence of the object in its own field of vision. As you become better practiced at this you will begin to achieve a profound sense of relaxation. As with other forms of meditation, patience is key. It may take several attempts before your focus improves to the point that you empty your mind and achieve a heightened level of relaxation. Allow yourself to slowly come back to complete wakefulness. Try becoming aware of your environment a little bit at a time (the smell of someone making coffee in the other room, the sound of a clock, etc.).

TL;DR in English: Find a quiet setting. Sit in a zazen meditation posture. Pick objects to focus on. Focus on these two objects. Exit your meditation.

A central air conditioner is the most expensive and difficult-to-install option, but it can cool your entire home. A central air unit will cost you between $3,000 and $7,000. On top of this, you’ll also have to spend money on a pre-installation evaluation of your home, any necessary modification or installation of ductwork, and the actual installation of the unit. During this evaluation, a qualified HVAC professional will check your home’s ductwork to make sure it can handle the airflow of a modern air conditioner. They will also look for places where air leaks from your home, and determine the cooling capacity that is needed to properly cool your home. Call or visit a local trade organization for a list of qualified evaluators. Ask friends and neighbors for contractor referrals. You can also ask for a list of contractors from a local trade organization.  Ask potential contractors for a list of customer references who can testify to the quality of their work. Ask contractors for price estimates for the installation. Be sure to receive a written, itemized list of the price estimate before the contractor starts the installation. Try to schedule the installation of your central air system during the spring or fall. Since these periods are the off-seasons for HVAC contractors, you may be able to find a lower price.

TL;DR in English: Buy a central air conditioner to cool your entire home. Schedule a pre-installation evaluation. Find a licensed contractor to install your central air system.

Depending on the design of your dryer, the lint trap will either be on the top of the dryer or located just inside the door. Consult your appliance's user manual if you have any concerns. It is located inside the lint trap, which is the slot the filter slides into. The lint filter is designed specifically to keep lint off of your clothes. If it accumulates too much lint, that lint will then end up on your clothing. Pull the filter gently from the top and it should slide out easily. The filter looks like a fine mesh screen, held in a frame of plastic. Using your fingers initially is the easiest way to begin.  A good trick is to grab a little of the lint in the corner and then slide your fingers across the filter screen, picking up the rest of the lint along the way. Make sure to wipe the entire surface of the filter screen and discard any lint you remove. Use a soft brush vacuum attachment. Turn on the vacuum and brush the attachment across the filter screen, which will remove any remaining lint. Use the vacuum attachment that has the long, thin neck and stick the attachment gently into the trap, as far as it will go. This will remove any residual lint from the trap. Use a soft rag, which will remove any lingering lint. If you notice any stubborn lint, try going back over the area using a dryer sheet. The remaining lint will cling to it. Use a soft rag, which will remove any lingering lint. Use the dryer sheet trick in the previous step for any stubborn lint. The freshly cleaned lint filter should slide easily back into place. You should hear it lock gently back into place. If you don’t, pull the filter out gently and re-insert until you hear it lock into place. Simply remove them and wash with warm, soapy water. Allow them to air-dry thoroughly before replacing.

TL;DR in English:


Do scales. Work on lip and tongue trills. Add in sirens and kazoos. Hum.

The serial number should correspond to the series. The serial number appears in the upper left and lower right corners. If the serial number doesn’t correspond to the series, then you are dealing with a counterfeit.  If the bill is series 2009, then the serial number should begin with J. If the bill is series 2009A, then the serial number should begin with L. The new $100 uses raised printing on Ben Franklin’s shoulder. Run your fingers over the spot. You should be able to feel texture. There is a large copper-colored inkwell to the left of the bill’s serial number. Inside the inkwell is a bell, which should change color from copper to green as you look at the bill from different angles. The numeral 100 beside the inkwell should also change color, just as it does on some older $100 bills. An embedded thread runs just to the left of Franklin’s portrait. The letters “USA” and the number 100 alternate along the strip, which is visible from both sides of the note.  If you hold the bill up to UV light, then the strip should glow pink.  You can also purchase a counterfeit detector which shines UV light, which might be helpful if your business handles a lot of bills. A popular option is the AccuBanker D63 Compact. It costs about $50. Just to the right of Franklin’s portrait is a blue security ribbon. This ribbon is 3-D. Move the bill back and forth and check that you see the number 100 and tiny bells move from side-to-side as you move the bill. This ribbon is woven into the paper, not pasted on. Accordingly, if the blue ribbon is peeling off the bill, then you have a fake. Hold the bill to the light and look for a faint image of Benjamin Franklin in the white oval on the right-hand side. You can see the watermark portrait on either side of the bill. Check around Franklin’s jacket collar. You should see the words “The United States of America” in small type.  You should also see “USA 100” around the white space that contains the portrait.  The words “100 USA” should also appear around the quill pen to the right of Franklin.

TL;DR in English: Look at the serial numbers. Feel Franklin’s shoulder. Check for color-change ink. Hold the bill up to the light. Check the blue security ribbon. Look for the watermark portrait. Use a magnifying glass to find the microprint.

If you want to make a larger or smaller cube, just use larger or smaller square sheets of paper. You can find origami paper at most craft stores or online. If you don’t have origami paper, you can use regular copy paper that’s been cut into squares instead. Start by folding each sheet of paper in half. Then, continue making the folds until you end up with a small folded square. You should have 6 small squares when you’re finished. Each of your squares will have 2 end flaps and a center fold. Slide the end flap of 1 piece of folded paper into the center fold of another piece. Then, slide the end flap of a third piece of paper into the other side of the center fold. As you continue adding the other pieces, you’ll see the shape of a cube starting to emerge. Continue until you’ve connected all of the end flaps from each piece of paper, and you’ll have a cube! You may need to bend the flaps to fit them into the center fold.

TL;DR in English: Start with 6 sheets of 6 in × 6 in (15 cm × 15 cm) origami paper. Repeat all the above steps with the 5 other sheets of paper. Fit the pieces of folded paper together.

Look for a ginger root that is tender and firm. Avoid any ginger roots which feel papery, as this means that they are old.

TL;DR in English: Choose a young, fresh ginger root to make the candied ginger with.

The judge should flip over the card at the top of the green deck and call it out to the group. Green cards bear descriptive terms that must be matched by the people, objects, places or events on the players’ red cards. The green card in play might read “Cute,” “Harmful” or “Patriotic.” These terms are designed to describe the red cards laid down by players each round. There are over 749 red cards and nearly 249 green cards in the basic version of the game. That’s enough different matches for hours and hours of fun. Players will now select one of their seven red cards to associate with the word on the green card. For example, a player might play a red card reading “Babies” to match a green card reading “Cute.” There are nearly endless possible combinations of red and green cards, so get creative!  Each player should choose a red card to play quickly to keep the game moving at a brisk pace. Cards should be played face down beside the green card. The judge is the only player who will not lay down a red card. The judge changes every round, giving everyone an equal chance to play. After every player has laid down a red card, the judge should shuffle or mix up the stack of red cards in play. This will ensure that the judge doesn’t know who played each card. The cards should be left face down as they are rearranged. There’s no need to shuffle extensively. Just reorganize the red cards until they’re out of the order in which they were laid down. Now the judge will turn over and look at each card. Whichever card the judge decides is the best match for the green card wins. The winning player will identify themselves and collect the green card from the round. The player to the left of the first round judge will become the new judge, players will take one card from the red deck to replenish their hand and the game will continue.   The number of green cards accumulated by the end of the game determines the winner. The official Apples To Apples rule guide suggests 8, 7, 6, 5 and 4 green cards be the winning number for...

TL;DR in English: Turn over the top green card. Lay down a red card to match the green card. Mix up the stack of cards. Decide who has the best match. Choose a winning number of green cards.

The major effect of nearly all probiotics is to improve your gut and digestive health (in addition to whatever other benefits the bacteria provide). If you’ve been using a certain probiotic supplement for a couple of weeks and don’t notice an improvement in your digestive health, it’s time to try a new probiotic. Signs of an ineffective probiotic include:  Stomach cramps. Intestinal pain. Constipation or diarrhea. Keep in mind that, since most probiotics are sold as dietary supplements, they aren’t guaranteed to produce the results they advertise. Fortunately, another probiotic may fix your health concern. If the first probiotic you tried isn’t helping, switch to another type. Unlike medication, you can change your probiotic supplement without experiencing major side-effects. The only side-effect you’re somewhat likely to experience as a result of switching is mildly upset stomach. Most medical studies on probiotics have been performed on strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Probiotics containing these strains are most likely to match the claims made on the label. Choose well-known strains of these bacteria to help with common health ailments. These include:   Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which helps with lactose intolerance and various resultant digestive problems.  Lactobacillus reuteri LR-1 or LR-2, which improves dental hygiene and prevents tooth plaque from forming.  Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 or MIMBb75, which decreases bloating and discomfort from IBS. If you have frequent moderate to severe abdominal pain, or chronic constipation or diarrhea, the problem may be more severe than a probiotic can handle. Talk to your physician and explain your condition to them. Also ask your doctor if they recommend any specific probiotics or know of any to avoid. You may be suffering from an undiagnosed case of IBS, or you may be lactose intolerant or have Celiac disease without knowing it.

TL;DR in English: Pay attention to your body’s digestion. Revise your probiotic supplement as needed. Choose studied strains of probiotic to help with frequent health concerns. Talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about your digestion.

You wouldn't run 5 miles (8.0 km) out of the gate, so don't expect your voice box to be able to go up and down 3 octaves either. Doing scales slowly warms up your voice, extending it to its top and bottom ranges. And it's pretty easy to do, even alone. If you are breathing right and holding yourself correctly, it'll be easier to hit those notes in your high register. Be patient, though, and work gradually. You'll actually hurt your voice if you start off too low or too high, forcing it to do things it really doesn't want to do. Another common method to warming up apart from scales are trills. They relax the lip and tongue, engage breathing, and eliminate tension.  For lip trills, simply create a raspberry sound by loosely placing your lips together. Experiment with different consonant sounds, like "h" and "b." Go slowly up and down your range, but don't do anything that's uncomfortable or hard to maintain. For tongue trills, think of the Spanish "r." Place your tongue behind your upper teeth and exhale strongly.  Hold the sound and air steady, varying the pitch while trilling. Again, don’t do anything your voice doesn't want you to do. You'll know. Some of the more fun warm ups are sirens and kazoos. When you do your siren (which should start low and go high), use your arm and toss it in a circular motion, going up and down with the pitch.  Kazoos focus of the sound and stretch the vocal folds in a healthy, controlled way. Just pretend like you're sucking in spaghetti -- it's as simple as that. On an exhale, make the “woo” sound; it'll come out like a buzz. Holding the sound steady, go up and down to the extremities of your range. Do this several times. Try some tongue twisters going up and down in tunes. This is preparing your voice for complexed songs. A good one is 'Seven salty sailors sailed the seven seas (repeat up in Do Re Me.) Humming actually helps cool a voice down, too, which is an oft-forgotten, though important, technique. It warms up your voice without straining your voice like singing can....
