Instead of the simple envelope bag, you may decide you want to try your hand at a tote bag. This method has you crochet two pieces and sew them together. This style bag has straps for handles so will be well-suited to use as a purse or shopping bag. The beginning steps of this alternate project are the same as the envelope-style bag. You'll want to make sure that you are comfortable with the basic crochet stitches, have carefully selected your yarn and hook, and have thought about what you want your final project to look like. Once you've done that, you're ready to start crocheting your new bag! You will be creating two pieces and sewing them together. If you do not want a flap for your bag, the front and back pieces will be identical. If you want a flap, however, you'll need to crochet the back piece to be taller. For example, if you want a bag that is 12" tall with a flap, you'll want to make your back piece longer—crocheting to 18" will give you a 6" flap. Counting your stitches carefully, create a chain until you reach the length you'd like the bottom and top width of your bag to be. You will be crocheting either a square or a rectangle, depending upon the shape you want your tote to be. If your chain is particularly long, you may find it helpful to use markers every ten or twenty stitches to help you keep count. Once you've completed your initial chain that is as long as you want the width of your bag to be, you'll need to turn so that you can start the next row on the opposite side. You will need to do this every time you get to the end of a row. To turn your work, simply rotate clockwise halfway so that your last stitch in the current row becomes the first stitch in the new row you are starting. Keep crocheting, turning, and creating new rows until you reach the desired height you are aiming for. Remember that if you want a flap for back, the back piece will need to be longer (taller) than the front piece. Once your front (or back piece, depending on which you are working on) is as tall as you want it...

TL;DR in English: Review steps 1-5 from above. Decide if you will want your bag to have a flap. Create a chain. Turn your work, and then single crochet back along your chain. Continue to single crochet. Fasten off your yarn. Repeat Steps 3-6 for the second piece of your bag. Sew the front and back pieces together. Make a strap for your bag.

When you are changing your focus from losing weight or meeting a certain goal to maintaining the healthy body you have fought hard to achieve, your dietary needs may change, too. Before becoming fit and healthy you likely met with your doctor and/or a dietitian, and now would be a good time to follow up and discuss your new goals. If you haven't met with either of these health professionals, now is a great time to make an appointment. This is especially important if, for you, getting healthy has involved beating an illness, recovery from surgery or finding a strategy for handling a chronic condition.   Meet with your regular doctor.  Talk to them about what your goals are, any diets or exercise programs you've done and any lifestyle changes you've made. Discuss any strategies to keep up your momentum going forward. A registered dietitian is a nutrition professional who will be able to provide you with information and a healthy eating plan. If you have been losing weight and have finally reached your target weight, you will need to change to a diet focused on maintaining your weight, not shedding or gaining pounds. Your dietitian will work with you to make a meal plan that meets your new goals and provide you with appropriate levels of nutrition. Your previous goals likely had to do with becoming fit and healthy. Now that you have reached that place, it is a good idea to set new goals to keep yourself motivated. Try setting both short- and long-term goals. Studies have shown that setting smaller, more achievable goals will help you reach a larger goal over time.  Small goals at healthy, maybe you want to run a 5k. Set a long-term goal to run a 5k in two months, and smaller goals leading up to the race — be able to run 2.5k by the end of the first month, or goals to run 5k in shorter and shorter amounts of time. Ensure your goals are realistic for you - just being able to stand unaided is a huge achievement for some people. Keep striving for higher goals. Maybe next you will run a half-marathon.

Determine the car’s market value. Lower car costs if you do purchase. Consider your peace of mind. Consider professional factors.

Secure the jaws of a wire stripper 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of one of the wires you’re splicing together. Squeeze the handles together firmly together and pull the jaws toward the end of the wire to remove the insulation. Repeat the process on the end of the other wire you’re splicing as well.  You can get wire strippers from your local hardware store. If you don’t have a wire stripper, you can also slice through the insulation with a utility knife. Just be careful not to cut through the actual wire inside. If you accidentally break strands off of a stranded wire, then the wire could cause a fuse to blow. Cut any remaining strands on the wire and try stripping it again. Get heat-shrink tubing that’s a gauge larger than the wire you’re using so you can easily slide it on. Cut a piece of tubing that’s at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) long so it’s able to cover the splice and some of the insulation later on. Slide the heat-shrink tubing onto one of the wires and move it at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from the exposed end.  You can buy heat-shrink tubing from your local hardware store or online. Avoid using heat-shrink tubing that’s too large for the wire since you may not be able to secure it completely. Don’t keep the heat-shrink tubing near the area you’re soldering since it could shrink from the heat of your soldering iron. Line up the centers of the exposed wires so they form an X-shape. Bend one of the wires down to twist it around the other wire as tightly as you can so it has a firm connection. Make sure the end of the wire doesn’t stick up or point away from the splice or else you won’t have as firm of a connection. Repeat the process with the other wire so your splice looks even on both sides. Alligator clips are small metal grips that work well for holding wires in place without them moving around. Place the alligator clips vertically on a flat work surface so the jaws face up. Secure each of the wires into 1 alligator clip so the splice is supported off the work surface between them.  You can get...

TL;DR in English: Strip 1 in (2.5 cm) of the insulation off the end of each wire. Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing onto one of the wires. Twist the ends of the wires together to combine them. Clamp the wires in alligator clips to keep them off of your work surface. Put rosin flux on the spliced wire to help the solder adhere better.

If the repairs are less than half of your car’s market value, then you should probably do the repair.  However, if, for instance, the repairs are, say $1,500 and the vehicle’s market value is $2,000, then doing the repairs is probably not worth it. Check Edmunds’ True Market Value Calculator or Kelley Blue book to determine the market value of your car. Do you even know your old car’s actual worth? This can matter when you go to trade it in, because the trade-in value will be counted off the price of a new car. Consider how long the repairs will add to the life on your car. A new engine, for example, can greatly extend the shelf life of some cars. Consider how nice it is to enjoy life without a car payment too! What could you do with that extra $300 or so? Within five years, a new car loses about 50 percent of its value. There are ways you can lower costs when you purchase a car. These are things to keep in mind.  Pay cash if you can. This will lower interest costs on the car, and that will make a huge difference in the overall amount you actually end up paying on it. Consider buying a used car. It’s best to consider cars under five years old with mileage limits under 100,000, which have had no refurbishing or major accidents, and for which there is a warranty. They say you should always buy the most house you can afford and the least car you can tolerate, because the value of homes often builds, whereas the value of cars depreciates the second you drive them off the lot. You can only put a mathematical calculation on some things, like the cost of repairs. However, there are some costs to a car that are intrinsic. Safety concerns include whether the car has working seat belts or dual front airbags.  For example, do you worry about being safe? Do you have to drive in tough winters with bad tires? Do you drive at night a lot for work? Are you in situations with children where you just can’t risk the car breaking down and being stranded? It might be worth the extra cost then, if there is one. A newer vehicle is...

Turn the unintentional slight into something you can laugh about by following the comment with a joke.  Saying “Just kidding! Can you imagine if that were true? Wow!” can help you to play it off and brush aside the comment Add some levity by saying something like "one of my many talents is knowing the perfect thing to say to anyone in any situation" and laughing. Tell the person you accidentally insulted that you were just kidding and the comment was more of a personal statement about yourself. Someone is more likely to let it go if you say that you were actually being honest about yourself and didn’t mean the comment about the other person. If you insult someone's looks, make up a story that turns your comment into a personal narrative. "I have always been self conscious about my looks, so I sometimes project onto others. Let the person know that you didn't mean to insult them and apologize honestly for the slight. Admit your mistake in insulting the person and try to wrap the comment with a compliment.  If you insulted the person by pointing out something that you don’t like about the person, be honest about it. Say something like, “I’m sorry that I hurt you. I just think sometimes you wear too much perfume to work. Maybe I just have a really sensitive sense of smell. I really like your outfit though! You have the best wardrobe, where do you shop?” If you sent an email to the wrong person, apologize and say that the message was meant for someone else, but that you really shouldn’t have said the comment at all.

If an outbreak of oral herpes, which consists of cold sores or blisters around the mouth, isn’t too severe, you can leave it alone and not treat it. Your symptoms may go away within one to two weeks without treatment. Use this option only if you feel well and are not likely to come into contact with anyone. There is no cure for oral herpes and treating it with antiviral medications can help heal outbreaks sooner and lessen the severity of recurrences. It may also minimize the chance of transmitting the virus to other people.  Common medications for oral herpes are Acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex).  Your doctor may also prescribe an antiviral skin cream like Penciclovir instead of a pill. These creams have basically the same effect as pills but are very expensive.  Your doctor may advise using the medication only if you have symptoms or an outbreak, or she may recommend daily use even if no signs of an outbreak are present. An important part of living with oral herpes is communicating with your partner or partners that you have the virus. You can then decide the best ways to manage the virus as a couple. Oral herpes are very common and you shouldn’t worry about feeling any stigma with them. Talk to your partner about the best ways you can minimize the chances of infecting him or having further outbreaks. Whether your oral herpes are dormant or you are having an outbreak of cold sores, you need to take steps to prevent your partner from contracting the disease. There are several way to minimize the risk of transmitting oral herpes to you or your partner.  Avoid skin to skin contact when you have blisters or cold sores. The liquid secreted from the lesions spreads the disease.  Don’t share items if you have blisters or cold sores. This includes, eating and drinking utensils, towels, lip balm, or bedding.

Keep your text simple. Ask him out directly. Ask him out to do something specific. Use proper grammar and full sentences.

Look closely at your scars to figure out what color they are. Select a concealer or foundation color that's opposite to your acne scar color on the color wheel. This will effectively camouflage the acne scar. You could use:  Green concealer to cover up reddish acne scars. Yellow concealer to even out blemish areas caused by scars. Pink concealer to balance out purple or dark blemish areas. Use a thin brush that is slightly feathered at the end to apply the concealer. Place a pea-sized amount of concealer on the back of your hand and rub the brush into it. Brush a light layer of concealer over the scar.  You can use your finger to apply the concealer. Just take care not to apply to much or it may actually draw attention to your scar. You'll need to apply a foundation to hide your concealer, especially if your skin tone is a little different than the makeup or you've used a green concealer that's very noticeable. Apply your usual foundation so that your skin tone evens out and the scar is no longer visible. Take care when applying the foundation directly over the scar to avoid rubbing away the concealer. Let your foundation rest for a minute so that it dries a little. Take a large powder brush and apply your powder with broad upward strokes. You can use a loose powder that you simply dab the brush into and tap. Or, you can rub the brush into a pressed powder and tap it before applying. Remember to wash off your makeup every night. This is a habit that will keep your skin healthy and prevent future acne breakouts.

TL;DR in English: Select a concealer to hide the scars. Apply the concealer to your scars. Apply a foundation. Set your makeup with powder.

When you like someone, it's easy to overthink what you are going to say to him. If you type out a long message and ask him out in the middle of it, he may miss your question. Keep the message short and to the point. Send a text that only includes you asking him out.  Don't ramble by saying, “I've been thinking about what I could do this weekend because I'm getting bored being home all the time. Would you want to go out? I know there isn't that much to do but I thought that we could have fun together. Anyway, I'm not even sure….” You might want to ask out a guy from school. A teenage guy is more likely to respond to a simple text than to one where you ramble a lot. Text him something like, “Would you want to go out this weekend?” If you want to ask out a coworker, say, “We never get much time to talk one-on-one at work. Would you want to grab a drink when we clock out tomorrow?” You may be tempted to beat around the bush, or mention going out in a vague way that he could miss. When you text him, say that you want to go out with him and ask him if he would be interested in doing that. It's important that he knows you are asking him out.  For example, don't say, “I haven't dated much recently and you seem like you haven't either. Maybe we would be able to do something together. That might be pretty cool.” Say, “Are you interested in going out with me?” This is especially important when you are asking a guy out who you are already friends with. It's important to make sure they know you want to go out romantically. Say, “I know we hang out a lot, but would you want to go to Orion's party with me as my date?” When you ask someone out, it's not all that effective to say, “Do you want to go out sometime?” There is no specific timeline or activity involved. Think of something cool you could do together and ask him to do that. Also offer a couple of times that would work well for you.  For example, tell him about a party you are going to over the weekend and ask if he wants to go with you. Ask him if he wants to try...

Use this method to create a permanent decoration for personal enjoyment. Find a frame that fits your puzzle. Cut a backing material to fit the frame. Slide a layer of wax paper under the puzzle. Use a rolling pin to flatten the puzzle. Brush puzzle glue over the surface of the puzzle. Wait for the glue to dry. Glue the puzzle to the backing material. Let the puzzle dry for at least 24 hours, weighing it down if necessary. Frame the puzzle.

. One of the most important steps in building a foundation of trust is to do what you say you will do. Even if it is a small thing, canceling or failing to follow through will create hairline fractures in your trustworthiness. Although the occasional failure to follow through may not seem like a big deal; repeated failures can add up. Over time, people in your life may come to see you as less trustworthy. Trust requires that people believe you will be dependable in the long-term. Thus, when you make someone a promise, you must keep it.  If you truly cannot keep a promise you've made, explain face-to-face why you cannot do as you said you would. Especially if your promise was a major one, an explanation might not be enough. You may need to make a new promise to make it up to that person. Be sure to keep this new promise, no matter what! Do not belittle the original promise. However small and insignificant a promise may seem, realize that the other person may place great significance on it. Any lack of follow through could be hugely disappointing. An important part of the definition of reliability is following through with your word many times over an extended period. By definition, someone reliable is someone you can almost always count on. Keep in mind that doing what you say only once or twice won’t build the solid foundation of trust in your relationships that you want.

TL;DR in English: Do what you say Honor your promises. Be consistent.

If you aren't interested in disassembling the puzzle at any point, you can use a specialized glue to permanently attach the pieces together. This can create a glossier, sturdier piece of artwork, but may reduce the value of your puzzle. Because of this, this method is not recommended for antique or valuable puzzles, and some puzzle hobbyists do not use it at all. Because your assembled jigsaw puzzle may have slightly different dimensions than listed on the box, use a ruler or tape measure to get an accurate measurement before selecting a frame. Some craft shops sell frames in pieces, which you can reassemble into rectangular frames with a custom length/width combination. Select poster board, foam board, or sturdy cardboard approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, and cut a rectangle that can be inserted into your frame.This material will provide a backing for the puzzle, keeping it flat and in the frame. A utility knife is recommended to make even cuts, along with a T-square or protractor to ensure the sides are cut to at 90º angle. Avoid using thin cardboard or other easily bent material, as this may cause the puzzle to warp over time. Protect the surface underneath the puzzle by carefully slipping something flat and disposable, such as wax paper, underneath the puzzle. Small bumps and loose pieces can be evened out before gluing with a rolling pin. Press down on the rolling pin as you move it across the puzzle surface several times. Purchase specialized jigsaw puzzle glue from a craft store or online. Use a paintbrush to apply this glue across the surface of the puzzle, covering the entire area with a thin layer. Pay special attention to the cracks between pieces. If your puzzle glue comes in powdered form, read the instructions to learn how to prepare it before use. Your bottle of puzzle glue may contain specific directions, telling you how long to wait for the glue to dry. If it does not, leave the glued puzzle alone for at least two hours. Test to see if its ready by gently lifting one end of the puzzle. If...

There are notable differences between the two styles of amplification. Tube amps use vacuum tubes in both the pre-amplification and power amplification stages, whereas solid-state amps use transistors for all stages. This can, and usually does result in markedly different tones.    Solid-state amps are known for delivering bright, clean, accurate sounds. They respond quickly to your playing, and are far more rugged than tube amps: think of the difference between a light bulb (tube) and an LED (solid state). Throw both of them on the floor, and you'll be scooping up one of them with a dustpan! Also, with advances in technology, many solid-state amps are loaded with a wide array of modeled amp sounds, giving you a lot of versatility.      Solid-state amps from a given manufacturer tend to sound the same, which can be a benefit when you need a reliable, repeatable tone. They are also notably lighter—both in weight, and on the pocketbook—than their tube brethren. This versatility and ruggedness comes at the expense of warmth of tone. While this is an entirely subjective evaluation, there are some differences that account for this: when pushed into distortion, a solid-state amp's waveform shows a hard-clipped edge and harmonics that stay strong through the range of hearing. By comparison, a tube amp pushed to distortion has a soft clipping edge, and harmonics that fall off well within the limits of hearing, giving tube amps their famed warmth.  Tube (valve) amps have a certain unmeasurable "something" to them that makes them the most popular type of amp. The sound of a tube amp has been described as "thick," "creamy," "fat," and "rich"—adjectives that would pack on the pounds if amps were food!      Tube amps can vary slightly in tone from amp to amp, and certainly do from player to player. For some players, their amp is the one that, in conjunction with their guitar, defines their sound. Tube distortion is softer, and to most, more pleasing to the ear, and when pushed hard, adds some compression to the dynamics...

TL;DR in English: Compare tube versus solid state. The drawbacks of tube amps are generally more practical than sonic. Beware of type-casting.

The aluminum foil from your kitchen is fine to use. Cover the decal, and hold it with tape or your hand. The foil reflects thermal energy back into the object it is covering, so the foil will help the decal warm up more than if you leave it exposed, once you take a hairdryer to it.  You can use take a hairdryer to the decal without foil, though it may not heat up as well. Any type of hair dryer will work. Plug in the hairdryer to the nearest socket. Make sure that the bathtub or surrounding area is dry before turning on the hairdryer. Heat it on a hot, high setting until the sticker has softened. This will probably take a couple of minutes. Slowly go over every part of the sticker with the dryer. Keep the hair dryer at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from the sticker while you dry. The sticker should be soft by the time you finish drying. Pull it up and peel it back slowly starting at one end of the sticker. The sticker may not peel off easily and begin to tear. If this happens, take your fingers and lift up the decal around the edges, slowly working towards the center. Do this until the sticker comes completely comes off. Try to keep the toy and clear adhesive film layer together as you pull the decal off. If the decal is stubborn and won’t come off, you will need to scrape it off. Take a plastic ice scraper and work around the edges or the parts of the sticker that has not come off. Continue to scrape until there are no remnants of the decal left. You can also use a box cutter or razor if a plastic ice scraper is not available. Metal can leave marks, so be careful to not to cut into the bathtub. A sticky residue may still be left over after removing the sticker. Spray WD-40 onto the sticky surface, and wipe it off with a rag or paper towel. Scrub the bathtub surface until there is no adhesive residue left. You can use water and white vinegar to remove sticky residue if WD-40 is not available. WD-40 will leave a greasy residue, so you will need to wash the surface where the decal was to remove it. You should...

Paying attention to what a person’s body movements (or lack of movement) are telling you can often reveal more to you than what they are actually saying.Look for behavior and body language that is different from what they normally do.  Is their body shaking or obviously tense? This is usually a sign of nervousness and nervousness is common when people lie. Liars sometimes try to make very little movement with their body in effort to control their “tells”.  This also gives away the fact that they are lying, because usually they are unnaturally still. Are they sweating? This is a nervous reaction people cannot control. So, if they are sweating for no reason, it might be because they are lying. This is often something children do. Fidgeting (tapping fingers, playing with hair, etc.) can often be a sign or “tell” that someone is lying. Wringing or clasping and unclasping their hands may also be an indicator of lying. Small eye movements such as slight narrowing or widening, darting around, and even closing (for longer than a blink) can be indications that someone is lying to you.  If someone immediately and quickly looks away when they begin to tell you something or when you ask them a tough question, they might be lying. Especially young children are often not able to make normal eye contact when they are lying. However, skilled liars have no problem making eye contact.   People normally glance away a bit when talking. A person who's making a point of keeping eye contact is more likely to be lying as they're probably trying to convince you and themselves that they aren't lying. Things like jaw clinching, lip biting, forehead wrinkling, etc. can all be small signs that the person isn't being completely honest with you.  Expressions on a person’s face, especially skilled liars, can often be limited to their mouth instead of the whole face, particularly when they are trying to control their expressions.

Once your fig tree reaches its third dormant season, or third winter, the vast majority of your pruning should take place during the late portion of the season since the tree is not actively growing during that time period. Wait until after the coldest part of the season has passed, though.  Pruning during the winter reduces the risk of shocking or damaging the tree during its early stages of growth, but doing so also makes the process easier since the lack of leaves will make the branches more visible. You could wait to do this pruning until early spring, if desired, but it should be done before the fig tree shows signs of new growth. A sucker is a branch that begins to grow from the base or roots of the fig tree. It can look similar to the tree itself but can be identified by the fact that it does not stem from the main branch or trunk of the tree.  Suckers result from a tree's attempt at growing more branches, but if the tree is stressed or spliced, it can put out suckers instead of healthy branches from the main trunk. Suckers need to be removed. If you do not prune these branches, they will drain energy from the main, healthy tree, and your fig tree will gradually weaken and produce a smaller yield as a result. Similarly, secondary lateral branches should also be removed if they grow close to the ground. These plants will be unable to adequately support fruit or foliage, so they would only be a drain on the tree's resources if they remained, just as most suckers are. If part of your fig tree shows signs of disease, you need to remove those branches to prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the tree. Similarly, you need to cut off dead or dying wood. Dead wood is unsightly, but more importantly, it can invite disease as it decays. Note that if one of your main fruiting branches becomes damaged, you should remove it and select a newly formed sucker or branch late the following winter as a new fruiting branch for your tree. New growth that does not emerge from the fruiting wood you designated...

This is more of a coconut shortbread-type cookie. Because there is no egg in this recipe, the dough may seem a bit more crumbly. If your dough is too dry and crumbly after beating the ingredients together, add 1 to 2 tablespoons cream or soft butter. Add them in 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough looks wet and sticks together.  It’s also important to measure out all the ingredients properly. Use metal or plastic measuring cups for the dry ingredients. Do not tap or shake the cup when measuring. Instead, level off any excess amount by running a straight edge knife across the top of the cup. To prepare the butter for this recipe, make sure it is softened but not melted. If possible, let the butter sit at room temperature 30-45 minutes before you plan to make the cookie dough. If you are using an electric mixer to beat together the ingredients, use the mixer bowl. If you are beating the ingredients together by hand, use a regular mixing bowl. Pour 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups butter, softened, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla into the mixing bowl.  Beat the ingredients at low speed until well mixed. Scrape the sides of the bowl often with a spatula. Make sure the coconut flakes are the sweetened kind to add the right amount of sweetness to these cookies. Shape each half into a 12 x 2 inch log. Refrigerate both logs for at least 2 hours to firm up the dough. Then, take out the logs and place them on a clean work surface. Place each slice 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. This recipe should make about 8 dozen cookies. If you want to make less than 8 dozen cookies in one sitting, halve the recipe. The edges should be lightly golden and brown. Then, place the cookies on a cooling rack. Enjoy your traditional Scandinavian coconut cookies!

TL;DR in English: Keep in mind this recipe does not use any eggs. Take out a mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl. Combine all the ingredients, except the flaked coconut. Stir in 1 cup flaked coconut with a spatula or wooden spoon. Divide the dough in half with a knife. Wrap each log in plastic wrap. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a knife to cut the logs into ¼ inch slices. Bake the cookies for 10-14 minutes. Cool them for about a minute on the cookie sheet.

in the wall. The best way to do this is to use a stud finder, sliding it along the wall horizontally until the stud finder indicates where the stud is. Once you’ve located the studs, use a pencil to mark where they are. You can also try to find the studs by looking for small dimples in the trim or knocking on the wall and listening for a solid sound instead of a hollow one. To create the first hole for your special bracket, use a 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) drill bit to get started. Once you’ve created a small hole, switch to a 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) bit and drill a hole for the bracket, making sure not to drill too deep. You can measure the bracket’s length and then use a piece of tape to mark the drill bit so that you don’t drill too far in. Place the bracket in the hole, turning it until you feel a slight resistance. Keep turning the bracket until it feels tightly secured. If you’re twisting the bracket and aren’t feeling any resistance, pull it back out. Twist the end that goes into the shelf clockwise so the bracket expands. To make sure your shelf is even and steady, use a level and the stud finder to decide where to place the other bracket that will hold up your shelf. Use a pencil to mark where the second bracket will go. Make sure the distance between the 2 brackets isn't longer than the length of your shelf. Follow the same process of drilling a hole into a stud using the drill bits. Place the bracket into the second hole, twisting it until it’s tightly secured.  Remember not to drill too deeply when making the hole for the bracket. It’s a good idea to use the level again once you’ve placed the second bracket, just to make sure the 2 brackets create a level surface. If the brackets aren't level, you'll need to remove 1 from the wall and realign it. Use a ruler to measure the distance from 1 bracket to the next so that you’ll know where to drill the holes in your shelf. You need this measurement to be exact, so take the time to measure it 2 or 3 extra times. Write down the measurement so that you don’t forget...

This way, if for any reason a character faints, you will be able to hold a rematch. This will initiate a battle. Start using Fire, Flying, Normal and Poison based attacks. Regirock is a Rock-type Pokémon and will be strong against these attacks, meaning it will effectively lessen the chances that you will cause Regirock to faint, thereby terminating the battle. When Regirock’s HP is low enough, try to capture him using your Pokeballs. Dusk balls are recommended; however, should you fail to capture him within 30 turns, you should start using Timer balls. Timer balls are slightly more effective than Dusk balls, but require the player to have stayed in battle for 30 or more attempts.

It is important to pick a song that fits the occasion, but it also should be easy for you to sing. At home, you can try to sing through songs. A good one won’t make your throat feel tight or sound hoarse. This protects your voice from damage but also gives you a chance to feel comfortable on stage. At church, for example, try singing “Amazing Grace” if you have a high vocal range. You might want to sing “How Great Is Our God” if you have a low range. Naturally, it’s important to know what you are singing before you go on stage. Spend some reading the lyrics aloud. Think about what the words mean, since developing an understanding of them solidifies memory. After you feel comfortable with a line or two, move on to the next ones. Use a unidirectional microphone or speaker system. Face the speaker so the microphone points away from it. This way, you’ll learn to prevent the hiss of feedback as well as have an opportunity to hear how you sound over equipment. Get a longer cord if you need to walk around with the mic.  If you don’t have equipment at home or need exposure, try a karaoke bar or open mic night in your area. Avoid using omnidirectional microphones, which pick up sound from all sides. These are useful for lower volume sounds in studios and sound stages. Try to use the same equipment you’ll use during the performance, if possible. This way, you can familiarize yourself with the location. You may feel more comfortable once you get on stage. You’ll also be aware of how much space you have to move in and how it makes you sound. On stage, you won’t have time to listen to yourself singing. To adjust, memorize how the song feels as you begin practicing it. Learn the song structure, matching the words with the notes they need to be sung at. When you can hit a high C, for example, you’ll know what it feels like. It’ll feel different from a low C. You’ll feel more comfortable when you’re on stage because you’ll be able to feel yourself hitting the notes. Set practice times are fine. Singing outside those sessions...

TL;DR in English: Choose a song that fits the occasion and your vocal range. Read through the lyrics a few lines at a time. Sing into a microphone and speaker system. Practice on the stage where you’ll perform. Focus on the feeling of hitting the right notes. Practice while performing daily activities. Sing for people you trust. Ask people for feedback on your singing.

Use the jar lifter to set them into the canner. Fit as many as you can in the canner at once. Close the lid on the canner and lock it in place. Depending on the type of canner you are using, either leave the pressure weight off or leave the petcock open.  Be sure to read the instructions on the canner to make sure you complete the process correctly. Don't stack jars on top of one another. The canner is working effectively when it begins producing large amounts of steam. Once the jars are inside and the heat is turned up, it should begin producing the appropriate amount of steam within 10 to 15 minutes. The pressure should hold steady at between 10 and 12 pounds, depending on your pressure canner model and altitude. If it rises above that, turn the heat down a little. This may be anywhere from 65 to 90 minutes, and it changes depending on whether the meat is raw or cooked. It's important to process the jars for exactly as long as is recommended for safety purposes.  Stay in the kitchen while the pressure canner is working, and monitor the pressure gauge. If it drops too low or high, adjust the heat on the stove as necessary. When the correct amount of time has elapsed, let the pressure return to zero and the jars cool a bit before you remove them from the pressure canner. Open the lid of the canner and remove the jars with the jar lifter, then set them on a dishtowel. Make sure your workspace isn't too drafty or cold; the cool air could cause the hot jars to crack. Set the jars a few inches apart so they cool properly. You'll hear popping noises as the lids seal.  Don't touch the jars as they cool, or they may not seal properly. Check the seals after the cooling process is finished. They should be slightly indented. Jars that have been properly sealed can be stores on shelves in the pantry or another cool, dark area. Label the jars with their contents and the date before storing them.  Don't store jars of meat in the sunlight or in a warm area. Jars that did not seal should be refrigerated or put through the...

A good review introduction will not only hook the reader, but also provide a clear picture of the product under review and the product's advertised benefits.  For first-time users, dedicate some space to explaining the functionality of the product in some detail, treating the product as if all the features are new. Teaching new customers about a product is an important aspect of a product review. For experienced consumers, focus on the evolution of a product from one model to the next, as well as any common defects or problems users may have encountered in the past. Long-time users of a product will often read reviews for solutions to problems, giving you a chance to demonstrate your knowledge of a product. Provide the reader with the basic information a consumer likes to know before buying a product. This may include brand name, model number, measurements, target demographic, price, and so on. Talk about what you liked AND what you didn't like about the product. The most helpful reviews are those that outline both the pros and cons of a product, while readers will most likely skip reviews full of effusive praise or bitter criticism.  Make sure to clearly explain how you arrived at your judgments, and specifically address why you believe certain features are beneficial and why you consider others flaws. Most people will be looking for an unbiased review of a product, and thus a clearly explained, balanced review is more likely to be read than a review that focuses too much on the positive or negative aspects of a product (unless warranted, of course). Discuss the product under review in light of similar products available to buyers, comparing the pros and cons of each. This will both demonstrate your research and knowledge, and provide the reader with a point of reference when making their next purchase. This is particularly important for first-time buyers who may require a point of reference before deciding to purchase. Describe for the reader who you believe would benefit the most from the product, which...

You may have had some downs, some failed grades or poor relationships - this does not mean that you will fail every exam you ever take or have poor relationships for the rest of your life. Acknowledge any role that you may have played in these and also look at other factors that may have been at play. The point of this is not to point fingers or lay blame on any one. Understand that you have some control over the quality of your life. Look at things that may have gone wrong in the past and look at your behavior then and now. Forgive yourself. Are there any lessons that you can draw from them? Write them down. Is there anything you’re doing that you know will have consequences that you will regret later? Instead, do something that will be of benefit to you later, or at the very least will not cause any harm. You will have to exercise some discipline. It’s easy to repeat behavior just because it’s familiar, it’s what you’re used to doing in a particular situation. For example, if you’re used to eating lots of sweet things and now you have diabetes, it will take time to adjust to your eating habits. Take the lessons you’ve learned, and carry on with life. As your past defined your present, your present will define your future. What you do now, will affect your future.  Allow yourself to fully feel any grievance you may have for the past. For a friendship that went sour or for a project you set out to do that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Write about it or discuss it with someone you trust. Express your view on the matter and why you’re upset about it. This will help you better understand your situation.  Accept that what’s done is done and that you can only deal with the here and now. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and if you can, make amends with others. Internalizing this may take longer than a day. Your choices, habits and behavior in the past made who you are today. It will take time to cultivate new habits that will make who you are tomorrow.

Not all dealers are as accommodating to low or poor credit scores. You will need to find a dealer that is willing to work with your credit to get you the loan that you want.  Some dealers specialize in this and have unique relationships with lenders that are ready to work with you.  You will need to speak with the dealer's finance team or department directly to learn if they can help you. Inform them clearly of your situation. You won't get an accurate picture of how likely you are to be financed if you don't convey your exact credit situation to your dealers finance team. You may not need to submit an application for financing to learn if you will get the loan or not.  A capable finance manager should be able to tell you how likely you are to receive the loan when you do actually apply. It may be tempting to apply wherever you can in an attempt to successfully get your application accepted. However, applying to many lenders at once can actually hurt your credit score further. You should also know that not all lenders are ideal for a motorcycle loan.  Apply only to lenders that specialize in personal loans or in motorcycle loans. Look for key terms such as bad credit, poor credit, no credit, motorcycle financing, or after bankruptcy loans. Remember, though, that bankruptcy will typically not be a factor if it has been discharged for two or more years. Loans made to people with bad credit may have higher interest rates. Be fully aware of the conditions of your loan before accepting. A co-signer to a loan is another person that promises to take on payments if you are unable. If your co-signer has a better credit score than you, this can help you to obtain the loan you are seeking.  Your co-signer should have excellent credit. Having a co-signer helps assure your lender that they are more likely to receive their payments. If you have made payments on another motorcycle, you can demonstrate your consistency on those payments. Despite your low credit score, by showing your previous motorcycle payments were always...

Bundling is a packing method used to greatly reduce wrinkles and creases. You'll wrap each garment around a core object, creating a snug bundle in the process.  Since this method requires you to wrap your clothes, you won't actually do any folding. The lack of folding results in a lack of creases. Wrapping items of clothing around a core and around each other also creates tension. This tension minimizes wrinkling. Find an organizer pouch with surface dimensions that are approximately 11 inches by 16 inches (30 cm by 40 cm).  The best dimensions can vary slightly depending on how many clothes you plan to pack and how wide your suitcase is. This size works well for most circumstances, though. You can technically use any small object with fixed dimensions like these. Since you can fill the pouch with other necessities, however, it is typically your best option. Roll or fold the socks and undergarments you plan to pack and carefully arrange them inside the pouch.  Similar items, like swimsuits, can also be packed in your pouch. Place soft items in this pouch, and fill the pouch with enough of these items to create a firm pillow. The idea is to make a firm core, but it should not be a rigid one. Do not put anything in your pouch that you need quick access to. Take the time to iron out any major creases or wrinkles before you pack any of your garments. Correct bundling should prevent additional wrinkles from forming, but it will not remove any wrinkles currently in your clothes. Secure all fasteners on all garments. Button your shirts and jackets, zipper any trousers or skirts, and snap up any pockets. Closed surfaces will be easier to wrap than wide, open surfaces. Clear your bed or a large area on a table or floor. It will be easiest to create your bundle in a flat spot with little clutter. Another option is to open your suitcase wrap the bundle directly inside. Doing so is more difficult and not ideal, but it can work in situations where wide space is not an option. Large wrinkle-prone garments will need to be...

Keeping your bag tightly stuffed or rolled for long periods of time will make it lose loft, which is what traps hot air to keep you warm. While you want to roll your bag tightly to travel with, you should never store your bag compressed or jammed in a stuff-sack. Loosely roll your bag, or let it rest, lightly folded, when it is not in use. The layering on the outside of these bags is great at keeping air out when you need to stay warm, but it can keep air in when you need it to escape for packing. Turn these bags inside out, zip them up, and then roll them as normal. These bags come with several straps and cinches that let you pull down on the top of the bag and get it even smaller. They are usually waterproof, and you can often get a large enough bag the lets you stuff several other items, like shirts or camping pillows, in with the bag. Always start packing by the tail if you use a stuff sack -- this allows the air in the bag to escape through the top. While you should never stuff your bag and store it fully compressed, good bag care requires brushing out any dirt, twigs, and leaves and letting the bag dry out completely when your trip is over. Mold and mildew will grow if your bag is allowed to be stored wet, and it is tough to remove once it grows. Let the bag rest outside on a dry day for several hours and brush out any debris. UV light can damage the sleeping bag fibers, so take care not to leave the bag in the sun all day. A few loose pieces of down is not uncommon in new sleeping bags. Gently work the quills back into the bag, pulling from the back side whenever possible. The holes will close back up and the insulation should settle with time.

TL;DR in English: Know that prolonged compression will make your bag less effective. Turn wind or water resistant bags inside out. Use a stuff-sack for tighter packing. Air out your bag when you return from your trip. Gently pull any leaking down feather back into the bag.

Research your partner's style preferences to find out what kind of ring would make them happy. Have they always wanted a brilliant diamond, or would it be more dazzling to have the ring set with a colorful stone? Pay attention when your partner mentions what kind of styles they like, and take a look at some of their other jewelry for comparison. A wedding proposal is a momentous occasion, and they've probably been dreaming all their life about the day someone pops the question with the perfect ring.  Having an engagement ring set with your partner's birthstone can be a moving alternative to the traditional diamond.  Using your partner's other jewelry for reference can save you a lot of trouble weeding out options. For instance, if most of the rings and necklaces they own are silver, it's a safe bet that they are partial to silver over other decorative metals. In jeweler’s lingo, the “four Cs” refer to the Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color of diamonds and other precious gemstones. These are the most important qualities to look for when shopping for a ring set with a stone, and since you’ll be shelling out a lot of money for it, it can pay to know how to appraise what you’re shown. If you have a notion of what you’re after in terms of each “C,” you’ll also have a much easier time communicating your needs to the jewelry specialist.  Cut deals with the shape and texture of a stone. These might come in their raw forms, or they can be cut with precise angles for greater symmetry and appeal. Carat is a term that denotes a stone’s size. The higher the number of carats, the bigger the rock, and the more you can expect to pay for it. Clarity is a desirable trait of gemstones that have a uniform, translucent appearance and are lacking any unwanted imperfections in shape. Color refers to the natural hues of a stone, and is largely a matter of preference. Diamonds of the highest purity are most often clear or opalescent, but they can also be red, pink or blue, and some of these colors are exceedingly rare and valuable....

Taking care of yourself weeks and even months prior to plastic surgery with good nutrition will help you to heal faster.  Also be sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat a balanced diet after surgery to help your body get the nutrients it needs to mend quickly.   Quit smoking to help speed up the healing process. Plastic surgery is generally done in hopes of altering one's appearance. However, it is important to note that a perceived "improvement" in appearance will not equate to perfection. There is only so much that can be done surgically to change one's appearance, so if you are expecting perfection you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.  Be careful that you do not have unrealistic hopes for plastic surgery or for the anticipated change.  Some people inadvertently seek out plastic surgery in hopes that it will "solve problems" in other areas of their life — for instance, in hopes that it may save a bad relationship, help their career prospects, cause them to be more popular in their circle of friends, or cause them to be more appealing on the dating scene. It is important to get honest with yourself about your expectations for the surgery, as well as the reasons you are doing it so as not to have your hopes too high and be disappointed. Your family and friends can be an important moral support, especially during the initial stages of healing. You may have pain, trouble completing ordinary tasks around the house, and/or potential feelings of disappointment as the positive results of your surgery will often not be seen fully until some healing has taken place, potentially months down the line. (In other words, plastic surgery tends to look worse before it looks better, as your body needs to heal the wounds and get rid of the swelling, so support during this time is key).  Depending upon how major of a surgery you underwent, you may have activity restrictions for the first while as you are recovering. If this is the case, your family and friends can help you with the tasks of day-to-day life that...

Many studies have shown that regular and consistent physical activity is the best way to fight fatigue and increase your energy.  Health professionals think that regular exercise helps increase the release of energy-promoting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine which helps you beat the fatigue.  In addition, health professionals recommend doing at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each day.  In addition to aerobic activity, also include a day or two of strength training to balance out your workouts. A well-balanced diet is very important for general health, but may also determine how you feel throughout the day.  A balanced diet is a way of eating in which you consume foods from every food group each day.  In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods throughout the day. To help prevent fatigue you should make sure that all your meals are balanced as well. For example, big carbohydrate-rich meals (like a pancake breakfast or spaghetti for lunch), can leave you feeling tired and sluggish.  Include a source of lean protein, fruits or vegetables and a high fiber carbohydrate to help balance your energy levels. Sometimes, eating more often can help you balance out your body's blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day. Try eating four to six smaller meals daily.  These little meals can help provide your body with some nutrition and a small boost of energy throughout the day. Many people typically go for the three meals a day approach.  But if you need a snack during the day or have frequent afternoon slumps, try eating more often. In addition to eating multiple smaller meals throughout the day, make sure that your lunch-time meal is also small.  This may help with your afternoon energy levels.  Studies have shown that circadian rhythms are significantly different for those people who ate large meals at lunch.  These changes resulted in a more sluggish, tired feeling in the afternoons.  This is most likely from drops in blood sugar.  To minimize these effects, stick to smaller portions at...

Surfers spend a lot of time in the sun, leaving them with that sun-kissed look to their hair.  Even if you don't spend as much time at the beach, you can get this same look in the salon.  Go for an overall lightening, but avoid getting too platinum. Highlights are a great way to make you hair look like it’s been in the sun. It seems amazing that surfers can get out of the ocean and when their hair dries, it looks effortlessly amazing.  The secret here is the salt water.  You can get this effect of crunchy waves by using a sea salt spray on your hair.  Towel dry your hair.  Spray on some sea salt spray, scrunch your hair with your hands, and let it air dry.  There are several sea salt sprays available.  Choose the one which most appeals to you.  Another option is making your own sea salt spray by mixing 1 cup of hot water with 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt (not table salt) and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a spray bottle.  Shake it well for a minute or two and its ready to use. A popular style for surfer girls is mixing up bold colors and prints.  This make sure you stand out in the crowd and represent your own style.  Surfer bikini bottoms tend to have a mid-rise cut to them.  The tops are focused on staying on and usually have a sporty look like a criss-crossed back or racerback, similar to a sports bra.  When mixing and matching, try using different patterns with the same color scheme, or similar patterns in different colors.  Try wearing a solid bikini bottom in a bold color, and matching it with a printed bikini top. There are a lot of surf brands which have clothing lines.

Create a center or side part, then using hair from each side of the part, create 2 rope braids. Pull the rope braids into a half-up ponytail at about ear level. Gather all of your hair into a low ponytail, and use it to make a fishtail braid.  Make the rope braids sit low on the back of your head, right where it starts to curve into your nape. Tuck a fancy comb or tiny flowers into the joint just above the gathered rope braids. Use a clear hair elastic for securing the rope braids; you don’t want that to be visible. Create a deep side part first. The, starting on the thicker side of the part, begin to French braid down the side of your head, across the back, and toward the other side of your nape. Finish with a regular braid, then secure it with a hair elastic.  Keep the sections large and loose for a gentler look. For more volume, gently pull on the outer loops of the regular braid. Add a hair accessory that matches your jewelry into the end of the braid to make it look more fancy. Create a deep side part. Then, starting from the thicker side of the part, begin a French braid. Continue French braiding down the side of your head, then pull everything into a low ponytail and finish off with a fishtail braid. Keep the sections on the French braid large and loose. You want them to gently sweep across your hairline. Part your hair into 5 sections. Take the first section on the left, and weave it over and under the next 2 sections. Next, take the last section on the right, and weave it over and under the previous sections. Keep going until you reach the end of your hair, then secure it with a hair elastic.  For a more elegant touch, part your hair off to the side. Drape the braid over your shoulder. Secure the middle of each section with a clear elastic, then move the elastics down as you braid. At the end, pull those elastics off. This will help you keep track. Hold strands 1 and 2 in your left hand, and strands 4 and 5 in your right. Leave strand 3 hanging in the middle.

TL;DR in English: Merge a pair of rope braids into a fishtail braid for an intricate look. Do a side part, then create a French braid for something more elegant. Start a French braid, then finish off with a fishtail braid. Try a fancy 5-strand braid if you want lots of volume. Dress up a simple side braid.

Place the hyacinth bulb and vase in a cool and dark area (40-55º F), such as your garage or refrigerator. Keep cool for roughly 4 weeks, or until the hyacinth's root system has developed in the water of the jar and growth from the top of the bulb has begun.  As previously mentioned, do not store your hyacinths in a refrigerator with fruits. The gas from fruits will damage your hyacinth's growth.  Change the container's water twice per week. Keeping fresh water in your vase will help your hyacinth to bloom fully and beautifully. Your hyacinth needs to be transferred to a warmer, somewhat brighter place (50-60º F) once it is ready. You'll know the hyacinth is ready to be moved once the foliage has grown to be about 2 inches tall and the root system has extended to the bottom of the vase. Keep the bulbs in this location for about a week, or until its shoots have turned green. Move the hyacinth plant to a warmer location (roughly 65º F) so that it will fully bloom. Hyacinths reach toward sunlight, so turn your vase daily to prevent the plant from leaning in one direction. After 2 weeks or so, your hyacinths will be fully fragrant and bloomed, and should last for another 2 weeks before they begin to wilt.  Although you want to move the hyacinth to a brighter location, avoid direct sunlight. To make your bloom last longer, place your hyacinth plant in the refrigerator at night. Enjoy the fragrance of the plant. Once the hyacinth flowers have bloomed, their scent will be beautiful. Throw out the bulbs once the hyacinth has died. Water forcing uses all of the energy that bulbs have to offer, and the bulbs will be too weak to re-bloom. You'll have to get more bulbs to grow more hyacinths.

Concept papers are meant to persuade sponsors, convincing them to fund or adopt your idea. This means it’s critical to “hook” them right at the beginning.  For instance, you could start off your paper with an attention-grabbing statistic related to your project: “Every year, 10.5 million pounds of food go to waste due to one common pest: rats.” Giving your concept paper a descriptive title, like “Lock the Rat Box: Humane, Hands-Free Rodent Control,” is another good way to grab their attention. After getting your reader’s attention, the introduction to your concept paper should then describe how your goals and the sponsor’s mission mesh. This tells the sponsor that you’ve done your homework and are serious about approaching them. Try something like: “The Savco Foundation has long been committed to funding projects that foster healthy communities. We have developed Lock the Rat Box as an easy, cost-effective means to lower illness rates and sanitation costs in municipalities, and are seeking your support for the project.” The next section of a concept paper will devote a few sentences or short paragraphs to the specific purpose of your project. Describe the problem you want to solve, and illustrate how you know it exists. Show how your project relates to current issues, questions, or problems. Statistics and other numerical data can help build a convincing case for why your problem matters. Some readers might also be moved by narratives or personal stories, so consider including those as well.  For instance, your concept paper could include a statement like: “Rats are a nuisance, but also a serious vector of diseases such as rabies and the bubonic plague. Municipalities across the United States spend upwards of twenty million dollars a year combating these issues.” Include references to verify any data you cite.

TL;DR in English: Grab your reader’s attention. Explain why you are approaching this sponsor. Describe the problem your project addresses. Put the problem in context to explain why it matters.

Choose someone that you have some inside jokes with, or someone who likes the same books or bands that you do or you are close with as a friend and would enjoy them being there. Choose someone who you feel good being with.  When you have decided to ask someone over to your house, don't think ahead.  Thinking ahead can make you nervous about potential outcomes that aren't even a possibility yet.  Just remember that even if you are rejected, it's really not as big a deal as it feels at the time. This will prevent any awkward last-minute cancellations. It can also be beneficial to avoid times that siblings might be around. In order to make more concrete plans, wait until you are both talking enthusiastically about something you both want to do, whether it's to watch a new episode of a T.V. show, or try a new recipe. Make plans as soon as you both agree on an activity that you want to take part in.  For example, "There's a new episode of that TV show out on Wednesday.  Do you want to hang out at my place and watch it then?” Or, “I have all the ingredients for that recipe.  Do you want to make it tomorrow after school?”

You'll want to reach out to prospective clients in any way possible to build a beginning roster of customers for your cleaning service. Even just a few regular customers can help you make ends meet while you market yourself to an ever-broader target audience.  Advertise in local newspapers and magazines. Offer deals to first time customers. Set up an account on Facebook and Twitter where you can advertise your company. Make sure you have a professional-looking website that lists your services and contact information. As you begin working for clients, it's extremely important to do your job well and respect your clients' space. Any sign that personal property has been tampered with, damage has been caused and gone unreported, or something has been stolen can ruin your reputation as a cleaning business.  If something gets broken while you're on the job, let your client know and either replace the item or reimburse your client right away. Put items back where you found them after cleaning them. Don't touch people's personal items unless you've been instructed to do so. Stay out of rooms you haven't been instructed to clean. You don't want to be accused of something you didn't do.

TL;DR in English: Promote your business. Be trustworthy.

If the body of water in question is a lake or a large pond, and you want to remove the lily pads to provide a path for boats, simply rowing the boat through the lily pads is often enough to open a path and keep it opened. It is best to do this with a rowboat, rather than a motorized boat, since the pads could potentially get caught in the blades of a motor. If the pond is relatively undisturbed and the roots of the pads are not too tangled, surface raking is a viable solution to remove lily pads. Row a boat into the middle of the pond, or wade to the center of the pond if the water is shallow enough. Use a standard garden rake to pull the pads off the surface of the water. Some hardier varieties may have resistant roots that make surface raking difficult, and you may not be able to remove the pads at the root. This works well as a short-term solution, but the lily pads will often re-grow afterward. If the pads are growing in your own private pond, adding several grass carp (note grass carp is a non-native species and may be invasive) or other fish that dine on water lilies can naturally reduce the amount of pads that form on the surface. Typically, adding two fish per acre of water is an effective amount. The fish should be young, since young fish eat more than older fish. This method works best with shallow ponds that you can wade into, and is difficult to accomplish with deeper ponds and lakes. While standing in the water, drive the metal edge of the spade beneath the root of the lily pad. Loosen the root from its place and then lift the freed pad off the surface of the water. This solution can take a long time to accomplish, and it may be difficult to use it if you have a large pond and are working by yourself. It proves effective, though, and literally removes the lily pads at the root of the problem. An aquatic mower is a specially designed tool that works like a weed cutter, except that it trims away weeds and vegetation that grows on the surface of a body of water. It is usually used against algae and...

Open with your pawn to e6. Put the pawn from d7 onto d5 to hold a center square. Move a pawn to c5 to put pressure on the white pieces. Develop your knight to c6. Move your queen to b6 to give yourself offensive options.

Take all of the new valve assemblies and open them fully before installing them. Do this by turning the stems counterclockwise. Each valve needs to be opened when it's installed to allow it to seat fully on the pipe components. Be sure to identify the diverter valve and set it aside to install it last. The process of installing a new faucet will be essential the reverse process of your disassembly. If you purchased an identical or similar kit to the version you removed, it should be quite easy. Take the roll of plumber’s tape and peel the end back a couple of inches. With the new valve in one hand, hold the threaded base pointing to your other hand. Place the loose end of the plumber’s tape over the threads and secure it with your thumb, then wrap tightly around the threads clockwise for three complete wraps. Pull tightly against the threads until the tape breaks. Roll the loose end over the taped threads. Done correctly, the tape will contour to the threads. Repeat this process for all the new valve components. Taping the valves allows a tighter seal to be creating, ensuring a solid faucet that won't leak. Place the new valve into the pipe and turn clockwise with your fingers about three or four complete turns. There should be some resistance after that because of the plumber’s tape.  If the valve does not seat in the threaded pipe within the first turn or two, start again. Do not force an improperly seated valve. It will strip the threads and cause a serious leak. Repeat this step for all valves. Completely tighten the valves with adjustable pliers or an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten or you risk damaging the valve or the water pipes Take the threaded white nylon sleeve, slip it over each valve stem, and twist it into threaded interior of the valve base. Do not use pliers or a pipe wrench, as this will damage the threads. Wrap a cloth rag around the sleeve and grip tightly with your hand and twist it into place.

When the white opens to e4, move the pawn that’s in front of your king 1 space forward to e6. That way, your bishop is free to get out of the back row later on in the game and you’re defending the d5 center square so your opponent won’t put pieces on it. Your opponent will try to control more of the center by moving their queen’s pawn to d4. Move the pawn that’s in front of your queen 2 spaces forward so it’s in front of your opponent’s pawn. You now have control over a center square and have the opportunity to capture the pawn on e4 if you want.  Your opponent will want to protect their pawn, so they will move it forward to e5. The pawn on e6 will defend the pawn you just moved so other pieces are less likely to attack it. Take the pawn that’s on c7 and thrust it forward 2 spaces so it lands on c5. Now you have put your opponent’s pawn on d4 at risk and have a large defensive wall on the queen’s side of the board so it’s harder for the white pieces to attack. Your opponent will typically develop their king’s knight to f3 to defend the pawn you put at risk. Take the knight you have at b8 and move it to c6 so it’s behind your pawns. From this position, you can capture either of your opponent’s pawns at the center of the board. While you only have your pawn in the middle squares, your knight puts pressure on the other squares there. As an additional level of protection, your opponent will move their pawn at c2 to c3 to defend the center squares. There are many moves you can make after you move your knight, but one of the strongest you can make is moving your queen to b6. Your queen then puts pressure on the pawn at b2 and acts as another layer of protection for your pawn at c5. Don’t capture the pawn at b2 during your next turn since your opponent could easily remove your queen with their bishop.

There is a great deal of free content available on the Internet, along with paid subscriptions to certain adult entertainment sites. You may prefer magazines or DVDs, however. Adult DVDs and magazines can easily be found at a local adult entertainment store. If you are not sure if there is one located around you, use a search engine to find the nearest one. However, going to a store is not necessary since plenty of pornography is available for free online. There are many popular adult entertainment sites that are free, such as Pornhub, xVideos, YouPorn, and so on. One option is to pick a site to visit. You can also type “porn” in a search engine or search for a genre of pornography you would like to watch, such as “lesbian porn.” Each site offers a plethora of pornography for you to choose from.  Whether you want to watch straight, gay, or group pornography, it is all available online.  Turn off the safe search on the search engine you are using; otherwise, the pornography sites may not come up. You don’t have to watch a video if it makes you uncomfortable. If you are with your significant other, you can tell them, “I don’t like this video. Let’s watch a different one.” If you are by yourself, simply change the DVD or go to a different website. Watching pornography should be a comfortable experience. Just because you are watching pornography doesn’t mean the communication between you and your significant other stops. Check in with your significant other throughout the experience. Make sure they are doing ok, and if they seem uncomfortable, ask if anything is wrong.  It’s ok to laugh and be silly while watching pornography. Ask your significant other if they like the pornography. Ask your significant other what they would like to do while watching the video, DVD, or looking at the magazine. Some pornographic videos can be over an hour long. You may want to fast forward the DVD or video to find a part you like instead of watching an entire video. Also, if you are watching pornography online, you can watch a few...

For a business that repairs motorcycles, sells used ones, or stocks new ones without a franchise, you don’t need as vast an amount of space as a brand dealership. Find a place that suits your needs. This will often be a small but visible storefront with garage space to work on motorcycles. Vehicles left outside suffer environmental damage over time, so find a place where you can limit exposure as much as possible. $10,000 to $50,000 is often enough to get the business up and running, but you’ll need to factor in additional expenses such as advertising, shipping, employees, and specialized tools. They add up, so you’ll have to figure out how to keep your business profitable in the long run. Keep enough savings to last you for a year. It can take some time for the business to become profitable. Small shops need less funding than dealerships to start, so it may be possible to get much of the financing from friends and family. However, many potential small business owners will need to secure loans from the bank or venture capitalists. Search out small business loans, equity financing, or convince someone that your idea is solid and you have the experience with motorcycles and business to make your business a success.  Debt financing can be a good idea if you have good credit. You pay a monthly fee without sharing ownership of your business with the bank. By conversing with people online or offline, there is a chance you’ll encounter someone who believes in your business plan or will go into business with you, sharing your expenses. Speak to your local government in order to find out what kind of license you need to sell motorcycles. This can be a lengthy process and involves proper documentation and background checks to see if your business practice is ethical. You will have to pay fees for the application and any dealer license plates then wait months for the application to be approved. In California, for instance, you need to complete a training program and pass a test in addition to business documentation and...

Begin by pouring one tablespoon (14.18 g) of cornstarch and 1/4 cup (59 mL) of water into a cup or bowl. This mixture will create a medium-thick sauce. If you need a thicker or thinner mixture, you should use slightly more or less cornstarch.  Cornstarch mixes the best with cold water. It may take some experimentation to create the consistency you desire. Don’t worry if the mixture is a little too thick. You can thin it out later with water. The sauce may not turn out as good as it could be if you don’t thoroughly combine the water and cornstarch. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together. There shouldn’t be any lumps left when the mixture has been properly combined. Make sure it’s sufficient for thickening. You can test it simply by spooning out some of the mixture and pouring it slowly back into the bowl. Or, you can add it to a small portion of a soup or sauce to see what it does.

For homemade bath bombs, this usually takes at least 24 hours, but may take longer if you’re in a humid area. If you wrap the bath bombs while they’re still wet, they may fizz early or fall apart.  If live in a humid area, it may take up to 48 hours for your bath bomb to fully dry. If you bought your bath bombs from the store, they will already be dry. Use regular plastic wrap that’s typically used in kitchens. Place the plastic wrap down on the counter and then put the bath bomb onto the center. The bottom of the bath bomb will be facing up.  Alternatively, you can put the bath bomb on the counter and then drape the plastic wrap over it. In this case, the bottom of the bath bomb will be the side that's on the counter top. Some people find this to be easier. For professional results, try not to wrinkle your plastic wrap before you get it onto the bath bomb. The plastic wrap should be wrapped as tightly around the bath bomb as you can get it so that the seal is airtight. You should have excess plastic wrap hanging from the bottom of the bath bomb. This is considered the base of your bath bomb. The base of your bath bomb is where you will seal the plastic wrap. You shouldn’t have any slack in the plastic wrap. The bomb should be tightly covered. Make sure that the plastic doesn’t loosen around the bath bomb. Your twists should be pulling it tighter and locking out any air. Continue twisting until the top of the tail near the base is tight. Make your cut as close to the bath bomb as possible without cutting into the wrap itself. You will have just a tiny nub of the tail remaining. If you’re worried about messing up, you can always trim the tail multiple times, working toward the base. The sticker or tape will seal the bath bomb until you’re ready to use it. This will prevent the tail nub from unraveling. Tape works great, but you may want to use a nice sticker for a more professional look. Even in plastic wrap, bath bombs are sensitive to humidity. For best results, keep them in a cabinet where they are less...
