Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Wipe the WD-40 directly onto the test spot. Allow it to sit on the hardwood for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the product with a clean, wet rag. Spray the test area with a stain remover to get rid of any greasy residue left

Test the WD-40 on a small hidden area. Spray the stained area with WD-40. Remove the product with a damp cloth. Clean off the greasy residue with a stain remover.

Once you have assumed your posture in a chair or a traditional meditation pose, you should align your back and find a comfortable position. Your lower back should be slightly curved in and your upper back should be slightly curved out. You should have an open chest. Your neck should be very slightly curved in and your head should be level. Your body should be slightly relaxed while remaining upright.  Remember to relax your shoulders. Your arms and hands should feel loose. If you feel tension, you can do a shoulder shrug and then return to meditating. You should be relaxed but not so relaxed that you are falling asleep in your chair. Likewise, you want to be sitting with a straight back but avoid tensing up your back. Put your tongue just behind your front teeth on the roof of your mouth. This helps prevent your mouth from getting dry during meditation. With your eyes half open, look at the ground five or six feet in front of you. Your gaze should be at around a 45 degree angle. Settle your gaze on the floor or ground. You should have your eyes open but should avoid staring at whatever is on the ground. Simply leave your eyes open and leave them in one place, directed to the ground or floor in front of you.  You should not be looking at anything in front of you. If you find yourself directing your attention to something in front of you, remind yourself of the feeling of your breath. To avoid distraction during your meditation session, settle your gaze someplace that is not too stimulating. If there are people moving or electronic lights in front of you, it might be too distracting. If this is the case, find someplace different to meditate. Once you have relaxed in a comfortable position, you may notice that your body is breathing. Place your attention on the movement of your breath in and out of your body. In some meditation traditions, you have to breathe through your nose. If you are a mouth breather or have a hard time with this, it is fine to breathe through your mouth. You may notice that your mind is...

TL;DR in English: Sit in a relaxed position with a straight back. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Set your gaze a few feet in front of you. Notice that you are breathing. Observe your mind. Come back to your breath.

To prevent further damage to the stained area, test the product on a hidden area of your floor before applying it to the stain. Select a spot beneath a coffee table or covered by a couch.  Spray the WD-40 directly onto the test spot. Allow it to sit on the hardwood for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the product with a clean, wet rag. Spray the test area with a stain remover to get rid of any greasy residue. Wipe up the spray with a damp sponge. Look at the test spot and determine if the product has removed the finish on your floor or left behind a stain. If the test spot is damaged, choose a different method of stain removal. Apply the WD-40 directly to the stain. Allow the product to sit for 3 to 5 minutes. You may also spray some WD-40 onto a clean cloth and apply it to the stained area. Run a clean cloth under the tap or dip it in a small bucket of fresh water. Wring out the rag. Remove the WD-40 from the surface. If the stain remains, re-apply the WD-40. Allow it to sit for 5 to 7 minutes before wiping the surface with a damp rag. Spray the treated area with a stain remover. This will remove any greasy residue left behind by the WD-40. Wipe the area with a damp sponge or cloth. Once the stain remover is cleaned up, run over the area with a dry cloth to pick up any remaining moisture.

This mask is runny and may drip down your face. To prevent yourself from getting too messy, consider laying down or sitting back in a chair with your head tilted back. You can also use this mask in the bathtub while you are taking a relaxing bath. The lemon in this mask may be a little drying for your skin. If you find that your face is a little dry, apply some moisturizer to your face.

TL;DR in English: Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes. Consider following up with some moisturizer.
###
Begin your training session by holding the toy mouse in front of your cat. Stand a few feet back from her so that she cannot easily reach out and grab the toy. If you are training her during her playtime, she will likely already be attentive to you and the toy.  If she is keeping herself busy with something else, or is in a different room, you will probably need to call her to you. Reward her with a treat when she comes to you after being called. Toss the toy mouse two to three feet in front of you. It is important to start with small throwing distances when your cat is first learning the trick. You can increase the distance as your cat becomes more skilled with fetching the toy mouse.  An alternative to throwing the toy is to attaching it to a string. You can sling the stringed toy towards your cat, then pull it back when your cat has a hold of the toy.  Remove the toy from the string as your cat begins to understand the motion of catching the toy and bringing it back to you.  It may be helpful to give your cat verbal cues—'fetch' when you toss the toy mouse and 'good fetch' when she brings it back to you—during your training sessions. Your cat may not bring the toy mouse back to you the first time you throw it—she may not understand that you are teaching her how to fetch. If this happens, try enticing her with a treat in your hand to get her to walk to back to you with the toy.  Reward her with the treat and verbal praise when she brings it back to you. When your cat sees the treat, she may drop the toy before she walks back to you. In this case, do not give her a treat. Instead, walk to her, pick up the toy, and walk back to your original position. Wait to toss the toy mouse until your cat has come back to you. When you toss it again, reward her if she brings it back to you. Keep in mind that you may have to pick up the toy mouse yourself several times before your cat understands that she is supposed to bring it back to you.  Toss the toy in the same direction each time that you toss it. Your cat will...

The milk the puppy's mother produces contains the exact combination of nutrients it needs to grow healthy and strong. It should make up the entire diet for the first four weeks after birth.  If you actually bred the litter and have the puppies and the mother dog, the introduction of “dog food” typically starts around one month of age.  If you try to wean the puppy too early, his health will be compromised. If possible, let your puppies watch their mother eating. Puppies like to copy and they will understand what to do much better by following her example. Puppy kibble provided three to four times per day will allow the puppies to start investigating and ingesting the new food. Soak the kibble in water or puppy formula. The puppies will start licking and eating the new food as they become more familiar with the taste and new texture.  The puppies will also walk through the food and make a mess. You will need to keep on top of keeping things clean. Make sure the new food is designed for puppies. If you are bringing home a new puppy, stick with the same brand your puppy was fed by the previous owner for a few weeks before deciding to change to a different food. Food changes should be done gradually over a week or two to prevent stomach upset and possible diarrhea. Add in small amounts (about 10%) of new food to the old diet until you reach 100% new food. Unless your veterinarian recommends an abrupt change in diet, take your time. It might be tempting to give your puppy enticing foods like bacon or ham from the table, but do not get into the habit of doing this. Table scraps will often make your puppy vomit or give him diarrhea. Giving your puppy table scraps may also lead to obesity and even pancreatitis.  Bear in mind that the more people food you give your puppy, the more he'll want, so it can interfere with training and even cause behavior problems. Consult your veterinarian about dog safe supplemental feeding. Low fat options include vegetables (green beans, carrots, broccoli, etc.) or tofu or skinless...

TL;DR in English: Let your puppies nurse for the first four weeks. Introduce small quantities of puppy food at four weeks of age. Be consistent with the type of food you give your puppy. Feed your puppy his special food and nothing else. Watch for the signs of low blood sugar in small breeds.

Those are times when other students will be sleeping, so the laundry room won’t be as busy. If you have an early class, wake up an hour or two early and try to get your laundry done then. Or you can wait to do your laundry late at night before you go to bed. If you see a machine that’s currently on or one that has someone’s clothes in it, don’t use it. Wait until there’s an empty machine available. If you’re doing more than one load, try to find several available machines that are all next to each other. That way you can do multiple loads at once. Look at the timers on the machines to see how long of a wait it will be. Keep in mind that if you leave, the machines might still be full when you come back later. You may have better luck getting a machine if you hang out in the laundry room until one is available. Don’t overfill it or your laundry won’t wash properly. Fill the machine with a load of your lights or darks. Wash your towels and bedding separately. If you have liquid detergent, look for a slot on top of the machine that says “detergent.” If there isn’t one, pour your detergent directly into the machine with your laundry. Refer to the lines on the inside of the cap to see how much detergent you should use. You'll need less liquid detergent for smaller loads. If you’re using a gel detergent pod, throw 1 pod directly into the machine with your clothes. There should be a dial or button on the machine you can use to select the water temperature setting. If you’re washing whites, towels, or bedding, you may want to use hot water. Hot water will clean your clothes better than cold water, but it can be more damaging. If you’re not sure, go with cold water. Cold water is less likely to damage or alter your clothes. There should be coin slots on the top or side of the washing machine if the machine takes quarters. If there aren’t, look for a slot to insert cash or swipe a card. Once you’ve paid, hit the start button so your clothes start to wash. That way you’ll know right when your laundry is ready.

Eating ice cream and binge-watching some television show on Netflix isn't just for girls who get dumped. If you want to be bummed and slop around the house for a while, do it. No shame. It's a necessary phase, sometimes. Don't let it go on for too long, or it just becomes whiny and depressing. Good rule of thumb? Let yourself grieve one day for each month you were together. If it takes longer, it takes longer, but let yourself get over her. Whether you've been dumped or broke it off mutually, stop talking with the girl. If you're stuck on someone, maintaining your distance is the key. Stop texting with her. Stop calling her. Stop talking to her on G-Chat. Just stop all forms of communication.  If you have to see this girl, in school or elsewhere, keep it cool. Make your interactions professional and brief. If she keeps bothering you, say something like, "I don't have anything to say to you." Unfriend her or block her posts on social networking sites. There's nothing to be gained from constantly checking your ex's page to see who she's been talking to. That's only going to make it worse. That jersey your girlfriend gave you? Get rid of it. The cute cards and notes she sent you? In the trash. There's little value in surrounding yourself with things that remind you of this person who hurt you. If you really like something that reminds you of your girlfriend, or you just don't want to get rid of it entirely, it's still a good idea to box it up and put it somewhere you can't see it. Give it to a friend to take, or shove it into a closet where you can't see it. Often, guys have a hard time talking about their feelings, especially with their male friends. If most of your conversations revolve around sports, music, or some other hobby, it's still good to just talk. Get together and talk about something to distract yourself, and bring up how you're feeling if it comes up.  Consider talking to your dad about it. While he might seem like a gruff dinosaur, he's also probably been there. Open up a little. It's also fine,...

Take the front half of the clean diaper by the side tabs and bring it up to your child’s waist. You’ll want to make sure that the sides are not too tight, and that the ruffle is facing out around the leg to prevent leaks (which can lead to chafing and diaper rash).  If your child is male, direct his penis towards his feet to prevent him from urinating over the diaper and onto himself. When your child is a newborn, position the diaper so that it doesn’t cover the umbilical cord stump. There are special diapers made for newborns with folds in this specific place. Before fastening the diaper, make sure their legs are spread and there’s as much space as possible. Doing this will avoid bunching in advance. Use the tabs on both halves and stick them together to fasten the new diaper. Again, make sure the fit is such that it’s not too tight but isn’t about to fall off. Check to see if there’s any bunching before replacing their clothing. Once they’ve got their clothing back on, check to see if they look comfortable as one last check of the diaper’s fit. Make sure their mobility is as it should be. Once the new diaper is secured, move your child from the changing surface to a safe area where they can be left unattended, such as their playpen. Then return to your changing area to clean up whatever has been left behind. If you can, disinfect the changing surface after every use. Wash your hands and the child’s hands with soap and water immediately afterward to rid yourselves of any lingering mess or associated bacteria.

. If you want to get rocking in a more formal setting, picking up an instrument can be a big step, signaling your evolution from rock fan to full-on rockstar in training. If you want to start a band, consider picking up up one of the following traditional rock instruments:   Guitar. To complete your transition from young Padawan to Jedi Knight, pick up the rock axe of stardom. Nothing is more wrapped-up in the style and soul of rock and roll than the electric guitar. Only one question remains: Stratocaster or Les Paul?  Bass. A few notable exceptions aside, a band without a bass guitar is like a meal without a plate. It just helps everything stay together. Providing a bottom end and a rhythmic foundation for the tunes, picking up bass will have you in high-demand as a player.  Drums. The drummer is the wild one behind the kit, slapping the skins and keeping everyone in time. Though it's one of the most satisfying instruments to play, drummers must have a natural sense of rhythm and internal time to be good. Are you up to the challenge? . Clean out the garage, set up your amps, and warn the neighbors: it's time to start a band.

Take a walk around the house and look for parts of the siding that are especially dirty or moldy. Allocate more time for scrubbing these parts of your siding. Start by applying the cleaning solution to the affected area with the wet cloth. Then, you can scrub the area with a bristle brush or wire brush until it looks clean. If you need to scrub areas that are very high up, you can use an outdoor cleaning wand extension to your garden hose.  If you don’t own a cleaning wand, you can attach a scrub brush to a broom stick or hockey stick. Attach the brush to the broom stick with a roll of duck-tape. If you don’t own a cleaning wand, you can also use a ladder. Follow the safety recommendations for your ladder and always have someone spotting you. Avoid using a ladder with a hose or hose attachments, since this can be very dangerous. If you have areas of your siding that are especially dirty or look moldy, you can use a wire brush.  Use a wire brush to clean tough mildew and stains on fiber cement siding.  Wear a mask while scrubbing away mold. After you have scrubbed off the dirt, grease, oil, and mold, you will want to remove the soap from the siding. You could spray down the freshly cleaned area with a garden hose or you could use a fresh sponge and a bucket of clean water.

Use your thumb to edge along this reflex point from one side of your foot to the other. Start on the outer edge of your foot and creep along using steady pressure until you get to the inner edge of your foot, then go back in the other direction. Repeat up to five times on each foot. Your pineal gland plays an important role in the adjustment of your biorhythms. Balancing this area, which also includes the reflex for your pituitary gland, calms down any over-activity in your brain and helps you get a good night’s rest.

Turmeric is an Indian spice that has been used to lighten skin for many centuries. Mix turmeric powder with just enough olive oil to make a thick paste. Spread the turmeric paste in a thin layer over your skin. After about15- 20 minutes, rinse it away with warm water.  Turmeric contains curcumin, which acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and may help brighten your complexion.  It’s a good idea to wear old clothes when you make this paste, because the turmeric may stain your clothing. It may also temporarily stain your skin yellow, but this should wash away quickly. You can repeat this treatment once a day as often as you like. Cut a potato into slices, then sprinkle a little water over each slice. Rub the potato over your skin if you want all-over lightening, or place it on your skin and leave it there if you want to lighten a specific area, like an age spot. Either way, rinse your skin with warm water after about 10 minutes.  The starch and sugar in the potato will help exfoliate your skin, and the vitamin C, potassium, zinc, and other nutrients will help rejuvenate your skin, which can help it look lighter. Potatoes are mild enough that you can use them to lighten your skin every day. If you don’t have a potato on hand, try other fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, like tomato, cucumber, or blended papaya. Squeeze about 1 US tbsp (15 mL) into a bowl, then stir in 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of water. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and dab it onto the skin you want to lighten. After about 20 minutes, gently rinse it away with warm water, then pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply a facial moisturizer.  Repeat three times a week for the best results. Lemon juice acts as a natural exfoliant, taking off the surface layer of the skin to expose the lighter skin underneath. The citric acid in lemon juice also creates a light bleaching effect (just like it does when you put it in your hair). Lemon juice can dry out or irritate some people’s skin, and it can sometimes cause sensitivity to sunlight....

An undertone is the basic tone of your skin underneath the surface layer, which isn’t affected by things like tanning, acne, and surface discoloration. Your undertone will help you choose the best shades for makeup, clothes, and jewelry, because undertones are associated with certain colors, which can be better matched with some colors over others.  People with cool undertones are associated with bluish, reddish, and pinkish skin tones.  People with warm undertones are associated with golden, yellowish, and peachy skin tones. People with neutral undertones can have a combination of cool and warm skin tones. There are a few indicators that will tell you what your undertone is, such as your hair color, how your skin reacts to the sun, the color of your veins, and the color of your hair.   People with cool undertones: look best in silver jewelry, burn easily in the sun, have blue veins at the wrist, and usually have hair that’s blond (ash or sandy), brown (ash or dark), blue-black, auburn, snowy, or silver-gray.  People with warm undertones: look best in gold jewelry, will bronze in the sun, have green veins at the wrist, and often have hair that’s blond (golden, strawberry, or honey), brown (golden or caramel), brown-black, red (copper or wine), or creamy white.   People with neutral undertones: look good in both types of jewelry, have blue-green veins at the wrist, and tend to have hair that’s blond, brown, red, white, or gray. Once you know your undertone, you can select colors that will best complement your skin. Most people with pale or fair skin tend to have cool undertones, which means you should look for cosmetics (and clothing) in sea shades, soft purples, taupes and grayish beiges, metallics, pinks, and berry reds. It’s best to avoid oranges, orange-reds, and yellows.   For pale people with warm undertones, try earthy reds, yellows, greens, browns, peaches, corals, and violet-reds. If you are pale but have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color, but you may look best in muted berry colors, such as...

Make sure you actually listen to metal on a daily basis. Listening to a few metal songs at a friend's house or on a game doesn't make you a metalhead. If you use a software to play music, you can easily check what you’ve listened to by date and how many times you've listened to a song. You should have at least a couple tracks from a metal band in your recently played playlist. There are “godfathers” of metal that you should know, if you consider yourself a metalhead. There are also several bands that fall on the line of metal and classic rock. The reality of the situation is that genres are malleable and shouldn’t be taken as a strict label. Some of the classic rock/metal bands are Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, and Iron Maiden. Other classic metal bands are:  Metallica Megadeth Slayer Death Judas Priest Pantera Make sure you know a few bands of every subgenre of metal. Just a few major metal subgenres are thrash metal, death metal, black metal, power metal and speed metal. Some metalheads consider people who listen metalcore and claim to be metalheads are posers. Metalcore is a fusion genre of extreme metal and hardcore punk; with the latter genre being what stirs away many metal purists from engaging with metalcore.     Metalcore includes bands like Trivium, Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Poison The Well and Motionless In White. A list of a few bands and their respective subgenres are in the tips section. Know random trivia about bands like Motorhead, Metallica, Pantera, Death, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, and any other band you like. Statements like "Slipknot Sucks!" or "Metallica is the only good metal band" are typical statements from a metalhead poser. If you only like one band, you don't like metal thus you're not qualified to be a "Metalhead" but rather, you are a  "Bandhead".  However, there is one exception to this rule. If a person likes Metallica and has only listened to Metallica, then he or she can still be considered a genuine...

Prior to filing for lawful permanent resident status, you may want to meet with a U.S. Immigration Attorney. They can not only help make sure you are completely eligible, they can also help you prepare your forms and documents and assist with any complications that may arise. You can check U.S. Justice Department's List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers to see if there are attorneys or legal resources in your area to help you prepare for your immigration filings free of charge. If someone, such as a relative or your employer, is sponsoring your immigration, they will need to file an immigrant petition for you. If you qualify to file for yourself, you need to file your petition. The exact petition and documentation you need will depend on how you qualify for lawful permanent resident status. All forms are available from the USCIS website.  If you are unsure what forms you need, talk to your immigration attorney or an immigration services office in your area. You may also be able to receive advice over-the-phone if you cannot get to an office. If you already have an approved immigrant petition and visa, you may just need to file the I-485 application form.

If you were not able to find a store-bought pad, that's okay. You probably have many things at home that can be used. You will want something thick and absorbent, something soft, and something to keep the pad in place.  You can use absorbent materials such as:  Gauze, cotton, other bandages (look in a first aid kit), clean worn-out clothes, and/or heavy-duty paper towels. Soft fabric materials: worn-out but clean clothes, such as a t-shirt or sock. Toilet paper or gauze can be used to keep the pad in place. Form the material you have chosen, turn it into a shape that will fit into your underwear (a rectangle or oval). Then, take your soft fabric and wrap it around your pad. Soft fabric will make your makeshift pad a little more comfortable.</ref>http://jezebel.com/5812246/diy-pad-crisis</ref> Take the makeshift pad and situate it just like you would with a store-bought pad. Use toilet paper or gauze to wrap around the pad and the crotch of your underwear, keeping it in place. Wrap it a few times to make sure it stays put. If your period is very light, or if you just want to buy some time, you can use a bit of toilet paper. Simply fold a long piece of toilet paper into a rectangle and place it in your underwear. You will want to check your pad regularly to be sure you are not leaking or bleeding through. A good rule of thumb is to check your pad every 45 minutes to an hour.

Having a written record of the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco will serve as a constant reminder of why you have chosen to quit. Keep it in a place you can reference it easily.  Reflect on any decreased physical or mental health as a result of tobacco and alcohol. Have you gained weight or decreased fitness as a result of using? Do you become angry without alcohol, or anxious without tobacco? Many people choose to quit addictions because they feel sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and engaging the addiction is more draining than the positive effects of the substance.  Consider how tobacco and alcohol interfere with your relationships and social life. Think of financial costs alcohol and tobacco cost you. Use a notebook to record the times throughout the day you smoke or drink alcohol. Record what feelings or situations preceded using alcohol and tobacco. Avoid situations that may trigger you in the future.  A trigger could be getting into an argument with your family or something not going well at work. Because alcohol and nicotine are highly correlated substances, one can trigger the other. For example, if you begin drinking, you may want to have a cigarette. Be clear on whether you want to stop altogether or slowly taper your use. While some may want to quit for social or health reasons, others may want to quit due to medical reasons or because they have an addiction. Reflect on your reasons and then choose your goals. If you are an alcoholic, it is best to cut alcohol out altogether and not taper it down.  People who smoke have a much harder time quitting alcohol and also tend to relapse more than people who do not smoke. Set goals that include concurrently quitting both nicotine and alcohol together. Write down a date for each goal to solidify the commitment.

TL;DR in English: Write down how alcohol and tobacco affect you. Find your triggers. Set goals.

Useful improvised items include: Pocket knives     Scrap metal, glass or hard plastic     Scissor blades    Alternately, sharpen the stick itself. Water distorts the position of underwater objects, making the fish seem closer than it actually is. Warm up your perception abilities by taking some practice stabs at rocks and debris to make sure you understand how much you must alter your aim to account for this discrepancy. Be aware that you will only get one opportunity to spear the fish successfully.

TL;DR in English:


Look for an instructor. Decide how often to see an instructor. Practice.

Even simple homemade gifts can often mean even more than a gift you purchased in a store. You can make them more personalized and it shows a lot of additional effort on your part to make something. If “it’s the thought that counts” is indeed true, then the thought and effort you put into your homemade gift will warm your significant other’s heart.  For instance, if you have never cooked for the person before, give it a try. Even if your risotto turns out better suited as brick mortar, you can laugh about it over a pizza later on. Once more, listen and learn. What does your partner like? Make something special that shows you’ve been paying attention. Is it too old-fashioned to give your class ring or letterman jacket to your high school sweetheart? Maybe, maybe not. But giving something that has special meaning to you lets the other person know that you care and that you want things to continue for the foreseeable future.  You know that old, faded, but ridiculously comfortable sweatshirt that your significant other likes to borrow when you’re watching TV? Why not make a gift of it? Be realistic, of course. A one month anniversary doesn’t generally warrant giving away a family heirloom like your grandmother’s ring. Why not make your gift something that will help both of you be better people and improve the lives of others? Seek out volunteer opportunities in your community. Help clean up a playground. Spend time with seniors or shelter pets. Collect food for the needy. This gift will provide rewards for both of you and many others. Think about a cause or issue that your partner is very interested in or concerned about. Try to find a way that you can spend quality time together supporting that cause.

TL;DR in English: Make a gift instead of buying one. Give something with personal or sentimental value. Spend time together helping others.

This is the most costly, but also the most proficient way to learn music. A good instructor will not only have a proven track record of helping beginners learn music but also be able to teach you the basics correctly. Using an instructor helps you avoid bad habits that can take a long time to unlearn.  Review sight reading, fingering, and playing with an instructor. Ask the instructor to review where the notes are located on the staff and the piano. Because your goal is to teach yourself how to play, then you probably won't be visiting an instructor frequently. Go to an instructor once a month just to do a check-up on your progress or to ask questions about anything that is puzzling you. For instance, you might have questions about if you're playing a song in the correct tempo. Once again, you will need to practice a great deal in order to learn how to play. Many people that visit piano teachers practice several times a week. So, practice 2 to 3 times a week or every day if you like. Plan on practicing playing for at least 30 minutes 2 times a week, but you also will need to take time out to review your notes and sight reading abilities. You don't need a keyboard or a piano to practice reviewing your notes..

TL;DR in English:


Do not smoke. Stay away from certain foods. Avoid alcohol.

Acid-free cardstock is a staple of scrapbooking. It is a stiff, heavy paper that can withstand the weight of embellishments, photos, and memorabilia. These characteristics make it ideal to use as a background for your album’s pages. Cardstock is available in every imaginable solid color, texture, and finish. When you select your cardstock, pick out colors, textures, and finishes that complement your scrapbook’s color story—the palette of colors you choose to use in the album.  You may also use cardstock to mat photos, frame pictures, and create embellishments. Finishes include: iridescent, glossy, matte, and glitter.  80 pounds is the most popular cardstock weight. It is similar in thickness to a business card. Scrapbookers rely on acid-free patterned paper to help them tell their narrative, express their theme, and unite their album. The patterns you select should reflect your theme and align with your color story. This lightweight paper is perfect for accents and use as a background.  You may choose patterns that clearly expresses your theme—palm trees for tropical vacations or ballerinas for a dance recital—or you can pick paper with an abstract or geometrical pattern that will work for a variety of pages within your album. If you struggle to mix and match patterns and colors, you can purchase sets of printed paper. In addition to using solid and patterned paper, scrapbookers also incorporate transparent sheets of acetate paper into their albums. Transparency paper may be completely see through or contain a printed pattern. You may use this paper as an overlay or for a background. In an effort to keep your album cohesive, the transparency paper you purchase should match the cardstock and patterned paper you select for your project. Do not purchase transparency paper that is unrelated to your theme and/or color palette. Scrapbooking aisles provide consumers with a myriad of options, but don't allow the seemingly endless options to overwhelm you. If you are struggling to mix and match patterns, colors, and...

TL;DR in English: Select plain cardstock paper that supports your color story. Purchase patterned paper that supports your theme. Experiment with transparency paper. Purchase a curated paper collection.

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco harms the inner lining of your mouth, and can also cause cancer and other health problems. If you are undergoing chemotherapy, smoking is very likely to produce and mouth sores and make them far more painful and prone to infection.   Quitting tobacco can be very difficult, so talk to your doctor about a plan to help you quit. Your doctor can help provide you with things like the nicotine patch to slowly wean you off cigarettes. You should also ask friends and family members for support as you try to quit smoking. If you know anyone who smokes, ask that they not do so in front of you. Some foods can make mouth sores worse. Sharp foods, or very acidic foods, should be avoided if you want your mouth sores to heal properly.  Acidic and spicy foods tend to irritate the mouth, so stay away from things like citrus fruits and salsas. Sharp foods, and very crunchy foods, should also be avoided. Stay away from things like chips, pretzels, and crackers. Alcohol can irritate your mouth sores and make your symptoms more painful. Do not drink alcohol until your mouth sores are healed. There may be other risk factors associated with drinking alcohol when on chemo, so make sure to talk to your doctor about alcohol consumption. As with smoking, ask family members and friends for support when tapering off alcohol. Request that people not drink in front of you.

Leave meats and bones out. Sprinkle sugar where you want roaches. Set out fruit rinds, peels, and cores. Use grease cans to attract roaches.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the Emtek door hardware from the door. You don't need to remove the internal latch (that thing that keeps the door shut). Only remove the two screws holding the lever to the sides of the doors. Use an Allen Wrench to loosen the Emtek knob or lever's turn post. You need to do this until you can pull the turn post (that brass post with a spring wrapped around it) out of the lever. If you don't have an Allen Wrench that fits your Emtek hardware, you can order one online. Now that you've loosened the Emtek lever or knob with the Allen Wrench, you can remove the turn post and the spring from the lever. You should now be able to see the inner mechanical parts that keep your Emtek lever stiff. If your entry set is sagging, you should still see these parts for the inside lever. If your hardware doesn't look like this, stop now. You might be using a type of Emtek product that this fix-it guide will not show you how to correct. Once you loosen it up, you should be able to pull it out with your finger. This part keeps the torsion spring and keyed washer pressed together. After removing the clip, remove the washer underneath it. (This is not the keyed washer that might be broken.) Shown here is one of the top offenders for a saggy Emtek lever or loose knob. The green arrows point out the two places in the spring that usually break. If you're still not sure if your torsion spring is broken, it will not be sitting tightly in place. Take it out and examine it. The picture below shows an Emtek lever with a new spring. If yours is broken, you need to buy one, but it's important that you keep reading and make sure that your keyed washer is not also broken. We still need to check the keyed washer. Pry out the torsion spring with a screwdriver. If it's stiff and hard to pry out, that's a good thing. That means that the spring is still strong and does not need replacement. This is the piece that the torsion spring pushes against. Look at the picture to see where this washer may be broken. Many...

That rotisserie chicken carcass left over from dinner last night makes perfect roach bait. Leave out scraps of meat or bones that haven’t been picked clean in the areas where you want to attract roaches.  Remember that meat will rot, which will produce both strong smells and bacteria. Do not place it in areas where pets or children will be able to access it, and keep it out of spaces where the odor may become offensive. Place scraps in isolated areas such as cabinets, garages, or other spaces where it will be easy to round up your roaches. Cockroaches are particularly attracted to sugars and starches. Sprinkling some sugar around is a fast and easy way to get roaches where you want them.  A trail of sugar can be particularly helpful when you’re looking to bring roaches through an extended path, such as along the length of a garden or lawn. If you are looking to keep a roach problem under control, throw away any packages of sugar where you’ve found roaches. Be sure to seal any new packages in airtight containers. Fruits are a natural source of sugar, and can be just as helpful in attracting roaches as the kitchen staple. Use fruit scraps such as rinds, peels, cores, and other discarded bits to attract roaches. If you are looking to bring roaches into your yard or another outdoor space, you can bury fruit scraps just below the topsoil. This will attract roaches but keep decaying matter hidden from pets, children, and neighbors. The can you fill with your extra bacon grease and frying oil is fantastic roach food. Set out open grease cans in the area where you want roaches. As a bonus, the cans can double as a temporary housing environment for your insects.

Listen to uplifting music. Avoid jealousy or envy. Be grateful and/or thankful. Contemplate the source of your negative energy.

When you find yourself talking out loud, become aware and acknowledge that you are doing so. You could keep track by tallying the number of times a day you catch yourself talking out loud. Becoming aware of behavior is the first step to reducing it. Try to keep the conversation in your head. As soon as you find you are talking to yourself out loud, try moving the conversation inside your head, to your internal world.  You can even press your teeth down on your lips so you cannot open your mouth. This will help, but keep in mind that it may also look odd to those around you! Try chewing gum too keep your mouth occupied and not able to talk.  If it's too challenging to just start thinking rather than talking, try mouthing the words. This way, the conversation can continue on but won’t be audible to others. Only allow yourself to do it while at home alone or in the car, for example. Be careful with this step, because once you allow yourself to talk out loud, you might start talking to yourself at other times too. Have rules to limit your talking, and if you've followed them for a week, do something to reward yourself, such as watching a movie or allowing yourself a sweet snack. Over time, try to reduce the number of situations in which you allow yourself to talk out loud until you no longer do it at all. Buy a journal for those moments when you find you start talking to yourself. In this way, you can have a written, rather than oral, dialogue with yourself. One way to do this is by writing down your thought then providing a response or answer.  For example, let's say you went on a date but haven't heard from the guy yet. This is one dialogue that you might be tempted to say out loud to yourself, but that you can also write down: "Why hasn’t he called me? Maybe he is busy or maybe he doesn’t like you. Why would you think he doesn’t like you? Maybe he is just really busy with school or maybe you're just not a good match for each other because you don't have the same interests or priorities. Well, maybe, but I...

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge the behavior. Think more. Allow self-talk only in certain situations. Write down your self-talk. Make conversations with people. Keep busy.

Listening to uplifting music is one sure-fire way to help free yourself of negative energy. Positive and uplifting music can help you get into a good frame of mind and energize you for any task or obstacle that you may need to face. Depending on your preferences, consider:  Music with positive lyrical messages. Music with a positive and upbeat rhythm. Music that gets you energized. One way to clear negative energy and promote positivity is to avoid jealousy or envy of others. Jealousy and envy are emotions that simply reinforce a negative outlook and lead us to ignore all of the wonderful things we have going on in our lives.  Be happy for what other people have, even if you don’t have the same. Wish others the best in achieving their goals. Avoid trying to emulate or compete with your friends and neighbors. Everyone is different and has different means, preferences, and goals. Often, people accumulate negative energy by being negative and unhappy about their place or position in life. One way to avoid this is to be grateful and/or thankful for what you do have.  Focus on the great things you have going on in your life. This could include your family, your friends, your job, or the place where you live. Realize that there are a lot of people who are much worse off than you. Understand that life is full of ups and downs, and you need to enjoy the ups. When trying to free yourself of negative energy, you should think about the source of your negative energy. Identifying the source of your energy may give you better insight into cleansing yourself of it.  Make a list of things that are bothering you or causing you anxiety. Think about bad things you’ve done in the past that might have attracted negative energy to you. Consider rectifying them. Examine your list and think about whether any of the listed items are making you unhappy. Commit yourself to solving whatever problem is causing you anxiety. Do some serious self-reflection to see if negativity or your actions or habits constantly draw negative energy to...

If you're not alone, then you have to remind her of your presence from time to time. Send her a text to say hi or to see how her day is going, or give her a quick call to tell her about what you've been up to. You can also send her an email from work or shoot

Check in with her a bit when you're apart. Be the last thing she thinks about at night. Give her something that reminds her of you. Write her a sweet note. Ask her questions to show an interest in her life. Treat her well when you're together. Leave your conversations on a good note.

If you've made your own jerky, let it cool for several hours so it's completely dry. If you see grease on the jerky, blot it with paper towels. Removing the moisture and fat helps the jerky last longer when you store it. If you're storing store-bought jerky, you can skip directly to storing the jerky at room temperature or chilling it. You can purchase food-grade oxygen absorbers from some grocery stores or online. Place 1 or 2 of them in each bag or container of jerky to extend the shelf life of the jerky. Then, press the air out of the bag and seal it or put the lid on your storage container. The oxygen absorber will absorb the oxygen, which prevents bacteria from growing on the jerky. Oxygen absorbers can remove a lot of oxygen from the bag, but a vacuum sealing machine removes almost all of it. Put the jerky into the bags that came with your machine and lock them into the machine. Turn it on so the machine sucks out all of the oxygen and shrinks the bag around the jerky. Consider vacuum-sealing bags with different amounts of jerky so you can grab some bags for snacks and keep others for long-term storage.

TL;DR in English: Dry the jerky at room temperature. Add oxygen absorbers to your bag or jar to extend the jerky’s shelf life. Vacuum seal the package for the most long-lasting jerky.

If you want the girl to miss you when you're not together, then you have to remind her of your presence from time to time. Send her a text to say hi or to see how her day is going, or give her a quick call to tell her about what you've been up to. You can also send her an email from work or shoot her a quick text when you're away with your friend for the weekend. Make sure you talk to her just enough that she doesn't forget about you, but that she also doesn't feel smothered by you, either.  If you're apart, make sure you're not always the one getting in touch first. You can call or text her from time to time, but you shouldn't make her take you for granted and feel like you'll always call even if she doesn't. If you know she has something important coming up, such as a job interview or a volleyball game, then check in with her to wish her luck. If it just happened, check in to see how it went. This will show her that you care and that you are paying attention, even if you're not always around. One trick to getting the girl to miss you is to make sure you're on her mind as she's getting ready for bed. You can send her a sweet text or plan your phone calls so you talk to her later in the evening, so she thinks of you as she goes to bed and maybe even dreams about you. She also may wake up thinking about the great conversation you had—and will miss you even more as a result.  Talking to her before she gets ready for bed will give you a better chance of really capturing her attention. She'll be winding down and will be able to focus on you more easily instead of talking to you while having a million other things going on at the same time. Of course, make sure it's okay for her to talk on the phone late at night—you don't want her to get in trouble with her parents. Another way to make sure that the girl misses you is to give her something that makes it so you're never far from her mind. It can be a necklace you gave her for her birthday, a letter you wrote to her, a sweatshirt that smells like you that you let...

Ask your doctor for prescription pain medication. Get steroid injections. Discuss antidepressants and anti-seizure medication with your doctor. Look for a surgeon with experience in spinal surgery. Find out the risks of surgery. Get a laminectomy or a laminotomy to ease the pressure on your spinal nerves. Consider a spinal fusion to stabilize your spine. Recover for several months to 1 year after surgery.

Brown rice is probably the most common and well known nutritious types of rice. It's a 100% whole grain and has a whole host of nutrients and health benefits, including potentially lowering cholesterol levels, associated with it. If you're looking for a nutritious rice, try this chewy and nutty version.  Brown rice is actually the same grain as white rice, just less processed. More of the kernel is removed to make white rice, which can cause the loss of nutritional value including around 90% of the vitamin B6, 50% of the manganese and phosphorus, more than half the iron, and all dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Each one of these parts has it's own set of nutrients. Brown rice is considered a fairly nutrient dense food. For only 1 cup, its about 200 calories total. In addition, per cup, brown rice has 4 g of fiber, 24 g of protein and 88% of your daily needs for manganese. It's also high in phosphorus, selenium, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin and Vitamin B6. Another extremely nutritious rice to consider is wild rice. Although technically not an actual rice per say (it's a water grass seed), wild rice has even more nutrients and antioxidants than your more commonly found brown rice.  Wild rice was originally grown and farmed in the United States by Native Americans. Although this is a grass seed, wild rice is still considered a 100% whole grain. Wild rice has fewer calories than brown rice - about 160 calories per cup compared to 200 calories - and also contains 3 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein.  This grain also contains high amounts of folate, zinc, copper, manganese and choline. Studies have shown that consumption of wild rice may help lower unhealthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Black rice or forbidden rice is a much more unique and exotic form of rice. It's nice black color is beautiful to look at but also is the source of a variety of antioxidants and vitamins.  What makes black rice black in color are antioxidants called anthocyanins (the same ones found in blueberries and...

Your doctor can prescribe medication, such as high-dose NSAIDS or opioids, for short-term pain relief. Do not use opioids long-term, as they can be addicting. Follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage and never take more than the recommended amount.  Your doctor can tell you how long you can take opioids to treat your spinal condition. They may gradually reduce your dosage over time, depending on how you are feeling. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can help manage day-to-day pain. Discuss which medication is right for your condition with your doctor. Due to certain risk factors, not everyone is a candidate for pain medication. Your doctor can give you steroid injections in your spine to help reduce irritation and swelling. They will inject spots on your spine that are being pinched due to your spinal stenosis. These injections can be done in your doctor’s office and provide temporary pain relief. Over time, steroid injections can weaken your bones and connective tissue. They should only be given a few times a year at most. Chronic pain caused by your spinal condition can be treated with nightly doses of antidepressants like amitriptyline. Your doctor may also prescribe anti-seizure drugs like gabapentin and pregabalin to reduce your pain.  Always follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage. Do not exceed the recommended amount. This medication can be addicting so you should only use it as a temporary solution for managing your pain. Your doctor will outline how long you can be on these medications and will reduce your dosage over time. Surgery for spinal stenosis is usually done if other options are not working or your condition has become severe. Ask your primary care doctor for recommendations on a surgeon. Make sure you are have a consultation with the surgeon before the surgery so you are aware of your options. You should feel you can trust the surgeon and their team, as spinal surgery can be very invasive. Most spinal surgeries result in fewer complications when they are performed by a skilled,...

Invite a discussion (both during and after the initial talk) about what your children are thinking and feeling in response to the news. Keep in mind that this will not be one single conversation, but rather an ongoing discussion. You might say to one child, “You’ve been very quiet over the past few days. I can imagine that this is all very confusing. I want you to know that you can talk about what you’re feeling. I’m here to listen.” Although you might approach the initial conversation as a unified front, it’s easy to drop your guard and start pulling the children into conflict. Avoid this by setting clear boundaries with your spouse. Agree to not discuss one another with the children, or question what’s happening in the other’s household. Keep contact to a minimal when dropping off and picking up. Resist the urge to send messages through the kids. Communicate through written messages like an email or a text message. The reality of a separation can be a lot to handle as a child. Try your best to maintain some semblance of normalcy by keeping to the kid’s usual routines as much as possible. Try to follow the same homework and bedtime schedule across households. And, set the same (or similar) limits and guidelines. . Coping with a separation can be hard for all involved. It may be wise to seek the support and guidance of a marriage and family therapist during this time. Such a professional can offer emotional support to the parents and the children. They can also offer direction about how to navigate your new reality. Don't be afraid to ask your therapist any questions you may have. They can also give you feedback on your plans for custody, visitation, and life after separation.

TL;DR in English: Encourage them to talk about their feelings. Keep them out of the marital squabbles. Maintain their schedule.  Consider family therapy

Choose a durable fabric, such as cotton, linen, canvas, or jersey. Use a tailor's chalk or pen and a ruler to draw a 10 by 20 in (25 by 51 cm) rectangle on the back of the fabric. Cut the fabric out with fabric scissors.  The fabric can be solid colored or it can have a print on it. This pattern already includes seam allowances, so you don't need to add more. You can make a bigger/smaller bag if you want to, but keep the proportions the same. Make it twice as long as it is wide. Choose a piece of ribbon or string that is no more than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide. Measure out 20 inches (51 cm), then cut it. This will make the drawstring that will open and close your bag.  Match the color to your bag, or use a contrasting color. For example, if you have a blue canvas bag, a thin, white rope would look nice. If your ribbon or string is made from polyester, singe the cut ends with a flame to prevent unraveling. If your ribbon or string is not made from polyester, seal the cut ends with fabric glue or fray-check. Let the ends dry before moving on.

WordPress plugins alter your WordPress site beyond the default settings. They must be downloaded from the WordPress plugin directory. Most plugins can be installed automatically from the directory, but you can also install them yourself by uploading the entire folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your site. Once uploaded, activate the plugin using the Plugins menu on your WordPress site. Make sure to uncompress the file after downloading it, if your browser does not do this automatically. The WP Native Dashboard plugin gives you the ability to download language files and install them through an easy user interface. However, this is only compatible with WordPress 2.7 through 3.61. The download interface may require direct write access to your server, which some site hosts do not allow. If you'd like to write a blog in more than one language, a multilingual plugin can make your life much easier. However, since they alter the way blog posts are created, it can take some time to learn to use them without breaking your site. Creating a new site just for testing is recommended while you are learning. Here are a few options:   Bogo or Polylang are free options. The two interfaces are quite different, so if you don't like one, deactivate it and try the other.  WPML needs to be purchased, but comes with full support if you need assistance. There are thousands of plugins available, so you can always search for what you're looking for. This may be useful if you are looking for a function or option that is specific to your language, such as converting one alphabet or script into another.

Expect shucking corn to get a little messy. At the very least, have a bag handy to throw away the husk’s leaves and silken strands as you work. To make life even easier, line a trashcan or similar container with a bag so you can work over that, or even inside of it. Alternatively, you can also line your kitchen counter with paper or other compostable material if you want to compost the leaves and silk. This way you can easily ball up the whole bundle when you’re done. Give the husk a quick look-over and find whichever leaf seems to be the outermost. Strip that off and continue peeling away the outer leaves as you work your way inward. Stop once the ear seems to be covered by only one layer of remaining leaves. The last layer should be a little translucent, so once you can see the kernels through the leaves, you should be there. Pull the tops of the remaining leaves away from the ear’s top. Stop peeling once you’ve exposed three or four rows of kernels. However, as you peel the leaves back, remember: The aim is to rip off all the leaves at once, in one move. So don’t peel the tops away from the ear in a way that would make it difficult to hold them all in one hand. The “tassel” is the bunched-up ends of all the silken strands inside. Gather this as well as the tops of the inner leaves in your dominant hand. Use your other hand to clutch the ear by its bottom. If you’re unable to grab them all in one hand, don’t worry. As long as you have most of the leaves and tassel in hand, the other leaf or leaves may still come off with them. Hold the ear vertically with its tip at the top. Then, with the leaves’ tops and the silk tassel in one hand, give them a hard yank down the length of the ear to where your other hand is. This should strip the whole ear, but if you weren’t able to get all the leaves’ tops in one hand, just repeat with any leaf that didn’t come off with the others. Your corn should now resemble a rocketship, with the ear as the rocket pointing in one direction, and the leaves and silk as its flames...

Playing dead involves your dog lying down. Before he can learn this trick, he should be comfortable with the command to lie down. Preferably, this area should also be quiet so that your dog does not become easily distracted. If your dog does not already know this command, teach him by holding a treat high in the air with your hand. As he is looking up at the treat, push on his back end until he sits; firmly say the word 'sit' as you are doing this.  Once he is seated, reward him with the treat by bringing the treat to him instead of allowing him to jump up to get the treat. Firmly tell him 'No' if he jumps up.  Practice this several times a day for few days until he can sit without you pushing on his back end. Each practice session should last about 10-15 minutes.  Continue to give him treats as positive reinforcement each time that he sits. Hold a treat in front of his nose, but do not allow him to eat it. Instead, slowly move the treat down to the ground while still holding it in front of his nose.  Say the verbal cue 'down' as you are moving the treat to the ground so that your dog associates the verbal cue with the action of lying down.  Your dog should be lying down by the time you move the treat down to the ground.  If he gets back up, continue practicing until he lies down each time you move the treat down to the ground.  Reward with him a treat when he lies down without quickly getting back up. Hold your hand in front of your dog’s nose as if you had the treat, but do not have a treat in your hand.  Use the same hand motion as if you had the treat to get your dog to lie down.   Once again, reward him with a treat when he reliably lies down without quickly getting back up. You will need to practice this command with your dog several times a day for at least a few days.  Each practice session should last about 10-15 minutes. If you want to challenge your dog, you can gradually decrease the visual cue until he learns how to respond to only your verbal cue to lie down.

TL;DR in English: Teach your dog the ‘down’ command before teaching him how to play dead. Choose a comfortable area to train your dog. Command your dog to sit. Stand directly in front of your dog while he is seated. Guide your dog to lie down without a treat. Continue practicing until your dog learns how to lie down at your command.

Take a paper towel or old rag and dampen it with water. Wipe the bearing down, removing any visible debris from the bearing. If you didn’t notice any problem with the functioning of the bearings, a quick wipe might be sufficient cleaning. Use a small screwdriver, paper clip, or razor blade to pop the guards off. Slide the tool under the rubber guard and gently pry it off. Be careful not to slice the rubber guard or damage the rest of the bearing in the process.  It’s not absolutely necessary to remove the guard, but you can clean the bearing more thoroughly if you do. Some bearings have more than one guard that you must remove before exposing the bearing balls. Put the bearings into a glass jar, and fill it half-full with a bearing-specific solvent bought at your local skate shop. If you don’t have this, high-purity rubbing alcohol, carburetor cleaner, or lemon juice all work fairly well. Let the bearings sit for about 10 minutes, depending on how dirty they are. If your bearings are significantly rusty, it may be best to buy new ones rather than simply cleaning the ones you have. Cleaning and lubricating the bearings may be enough to get them functioning again. After the bearings soak in the fluid, swirl them around in the jar to further loosen any debris or buildup in the bearings. You may see lots of dirt that has already been removed, but a quick swirl helps finish off the cleaning. Swirl the jar for about one minute. Dump the cleaner out of the jar and lay the bearings out on a towel. One by one, wipe them with the towel and dry them as much as possible. Move the balls around in the track to dry all sides. You won’t get the bearings totally dry, but get them as dry as possible. For a more complete drying, use a hair dryer or fan to evaporate all of the moisture. Before you put the rubber guards back on, lubricate the bearing balls. Cleaning is important, but without proper lubrication, the bearings still won’t work quite right. Use a few drops of lubricant from the skate shop, some motor oil, or speed...

Put on a personal protective gear before handling and applying Termidor. Fill about ⅓ of your sprayer tank with water. Attach the applicator tube to the tank. Start the pump to begin agitating the water. Add the correct amount of Termidor SC, as directed on the label. Fill

Measure the width of every door you will install stripping on. Add up the width of all the doors you measured. Add another 5-10% to factor in waste. Measure the height of the gap under your door. Make a note of your measurements.

This includes a washable hat, protective eyewear, a face mask, thick work gloves, a long sleeved shirt, long pants, and close-toed shoes. It’s best to wear a half-facepiece respirator with a combined dust and gas cartridge, as this provides the best protection against breathing in the fumes. You don’t need to worry about how much water you’re putting in. As long as you know the size of your tank, you’ll be able to create the right mixture by measuring out your Termidor.  Use your water hose or a bucket to fill the tank. You'll need to purchase a pesticide sprayer separately from the Termidor. Choose a model that comes with a pump and applicator. If you don't have a sprayer, you can use a 5 US gal (19 L) bucket to mix and apply the Termidor. However, application won't be as easy and may not be even. Additionally, it's best to use a sprayer to treat the soil you took out of your trench. Follow the instructions for your sprayer to make sure the applicator is securely attached. As you mix your solution, the sprayer pump will prime your applicator tube by cycling the solution through it. This is the part that sprays the solution. Follow the instructions for your particular model. You should see the water rippling due to the pumping action. Once you add the Termidor SC, it will start mixing with the water. If you’re not sure how to turn on your pump, check the instruction manual. Measure out the Termidor SC and put it into the sprayer tank. The pump will mix the solution for you, so don’t try to shake or stir it. Use your water hose or bucket to add water until it reaches the fill line on your sprayer model. Don’t overflow the tank, as this may spill the pesticide solution onto ground that’s not being treated. Then, your solution will be ready for use. Leave the pump on as you use the sprayer so that the solution remains mixed.

TL;DR in English: Put on personal protective gear before handling and applying Termidor. Fill about ⅓ of your sprayer tank with water. Attach the applicator tube to the tank. Start the pump to begin agitating the water. Add the correct amount of Termidor SC, as directed on the label. Fill the rest of the tank with water. Wait 2-3 minutes for the Termidor SC to dissolve.

If multiple doors need new stripping, take the measurements for all of them. You can do this by using a tape measure across the width of the bottom of the door. Write down your measurements. Remember, you are measuring the door itself, not the width of the doorway. Once you have measured every door you plan to buy new stripping for, add up all the measurements you took. Check your math a few times to make sure it’s correct. It’s always better to have too much than to have to go back to the store and buy more. Multiply the total width of all your doors by 1.05 or 1.1. This is how much you will buy from the store. For instance, if you measure all the doors you’re buying stripping for and their combined width is 108 inches (270 cm), you should multiply this number by at least 1.05, which would be 113.4 inches (288 cm). This is especially important if you are using a different type of stripping than you had before. You want to make sure the product you buy will be large enough to fill the gap but not so large that you can’t close the door easily. Check your math a few times to make sure it’s correct. Then make a note of the number you came up with, so you will remember when you get to the store.

If you are using a 120-grit sandpaper pad, you may want to use a 120-grit sandpaper pad. The sanding process will scuff the ceiling so that it adheres more fully to the surface of the ceiling. Always wear a ventilation mask when sanding. Set up your ladder.

Call an electrician to outfit your ceiling with the proper light fittings to secure and hang a light from the ceiling. Purchase your light fitting and ceiling rose. Sand the surface of the ceiling, where the rose will be. Wipe the surface with a tack cloth. Use a stud finder or electrician’s instructions to mark where the ceiling joists are.

If you already exercise, such as by going to a gym or taking walks, then you will probably be more likely to use an exercise machine at home; however, if you rarely exercise, then having an exercise machine at home may not change that.  Take an honest look at your current activity level to determine if you will actually use the machine. If you are currently sedentary, then you might want to develop an exercise program for yourself first. For example, you could start taking a 30-minute walk after dinner every night or do low-impact aerobics at home using a video. Try to work your way up to the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. An easy way to break this up is to do 30 minutes of exercise five days a week. Advertisements for exercise machines may make some convincing claims about the product; however, it is important to remind yourself that these claims are meant to sell you the product and should not be considered guarantees. Some this to be wary of include:   Claims that the product is easy to use. Exercise is challenging no matter what. There is no easy, sweat-free way to get into shape.  Claims that the product will target one area. It is not possible to burn fat and lose weight in just one part of your body. Losing weight requires burning more calories and this will result in overall bodyweight reduction.  Before and after photos and testimonials. Avoid relying on these as your only proof that the product is effective. Read reviews to find out what people who have bought this machine have to say about it. Try to seek out reviews on sites that are not affiliated with the product, such as 3rd party online retail sites. Trying the machine before you buy it may be a good idea, especially if the machine is expensive. You might be able to try out the machine in a store, at a local gym, or at a community center. You might also ask about refund options for the machine. For example, can you return the machine if you are not satisfied with it? If so, how long do you have to return it?...

TL;DR in English: Consider your current activity level. Be wary of ads. Find out if you can try the machine before you buy. Calculate the price.

Drill a hole in the center of the rose with an electric drill and bit. The electrician can tell you how big the hole in the center must be. Use a 120-grit sandpaper pad and hand sander. The sanding process will scuff the ceiling so that it adheres more fully to the surface of the ceiling. Always wear a ventilation mask when sanding. Set up your ladder. Have someone hold the ceiling rose in the position you desire, and then outline the area with a pencil.  Remove the rose, so that you can apply the glue. You may need to set up two ladders so that both the person holding and the person outlining can access the ceiling rose. You can draw small perpendicular lines outside where the rose is to use as guidelines.

If possible, you should pickle okra within 6 - 12 hours of picking. Select tender, green pods of okra that are 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) long for pickling. Trim the end of the stem off the okra, but leave the okra whole. Make the final okra everything that would you feel comfortable eating. . In a large pot, arrange your canning jars onto a wire rack so that they don't rest on the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot with water, so that the jars are completely submerged. Turn the burner on and allow the water to come to a boil. Boil for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the burner off.  Remove the canning jars with canning tongs and place them on a counter pre-lined with a clean towel. Do this so that the heat difference between the counter and the jars doesn't cause them to crack. Dunk the lids and tops into the near-boiling water and leave them there for 5 minutes before removing and placing on a clean towel.

TL;DR in English: Choose the freshest okra possible. Wash and trim the okra. Sterilize the canning jars

Get a quality snow shovel so you can dig yourself out if need be. You may also need to shovel to dig your car out once the storm is over.  Try the shovel out before you buy it. Check that you can use it comfortable, especially if you have physical challenges. Consider getting a small snow shovel to dig snow out of smaller corners. Rock salt is not an effective snow melter. While it can melt snow, a shovel will move much more snow quickly.  Rock salt and other ice melt treatments are meant for ice, and not effective for snow. If you need to remove snow do so physically. Rock salt and other ice melters can be devastating for your local water and soil, as well as your vehicles and sidewalk. If you must use chemical treatments on paved surfaces, use it only when necessary and only where needed. Put fresh batteries in your lamps and flashlights if a storm is coming. Go for a model that can power your cell phone if you can. You can even make a homemade flashlight. In case your flashlight suddenly gives out or you run out of batteries, you can light your home the old-fashioned way.  LED candles and lanterns are a safer alternative to traditional candles. Fire from candles during a blackout is a real risk, especially with small children. If you use candles, put them in safe holders. Keep them away from anything flammable never leave them unattended; and put them out before going to bed. Stock up on canned soups and vegetables, powdered food, and grains like rice and pasta. Make sure you have enough to last your family at least three or four days. Find a hand-operated can-opener too.  Eat the perishable food first. The non-perishable items are for eating if there is a prolonged emergency. The perishables should be used up first. Cook meats ahead of time to make them safer if the power goes up. Uncooked hamburger meat is dangerous within hours, but cooked may be safe for quite some time.

To begin, most require a B.A. in education with some focus on health, while others provide more leeway in your choice of major. Almost all states have professional development requirements that you are expected to complete in your first years as a teacher. All states have different requirements, so be familiar with what your state wants. Study hard for these exams -- they are what will allow you to become a certified teacher. Get a sense of what different districts want. Since health teachers typically teach other things as well, determine whether you are prepared to apply for these positions. Your ability to get a job immediately after becoming certified will depend upon the state or region in which you live. Most states will ask for a typical resume -- make sure yours is strong. Some larger districts might also ask for extra essay questions that deal with your philosophy of teaching or why you wanted to become a teacher. Substitute teaching can allow you to get a variety of experiences as you continue to look for full-time positions. Make contact with teachers in different districts as you go through the job search.

Many EDM and dubstep producers use separate computers dedicated to making music, aside from a personal computer they might have for other things. You don't need to go that far, nor do you need any particular brand or style of computer. Producers use PCs and Macs, laptops and desktops, cheap and expensive.  If you want a Mac, make sure it has:  1.8 GHz, with an Intel Processor 2-4 GB of RAM OSX 10.5 or later   If you want a PC, make sure it has:  2GHz Pentium or Celeron processor 2-4 GB of RAM Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 a sound card with ASIO driver support This is what you'll use to prepare individual tracks, load samples, sequence beats, mix, and record all the other components of your dubstep jams. As with hardware, dubstep producers will have a variety of different set-ups and opinions when it comes to software, but the bottom line is that you can make dubstep music on any computer, using any production software. Production software can range anywhere from free (GarageBand) to several hundred dollars (Ableton Live). Remember: you're only limited by your creativity. Get something you can afford and that will help you get your foot in the door.  Popular software packages for recording dubstep include:  Fruity Loops Renoise Ableton Live Cakewalk Sonar GarageBand To get started, all you really need is the software, but as you start creating beats you can really round out your dubstep sound by adding a few basic hardware elements into your setup.  Having a basic USB mic on hand to record vocals or raps is a good idea and good way to create new sounds to use. If you're at all interested in incorporating original found sounds or acoustic elements and manipulating them in your dubstep music, a solid microphone is a good idea. It won't take long messing around with the on-screen keyboard in GarageBand before you're ready to use a real MIDI keyboard. The Axiom 25 is a popular model that allows you to pitch bend, and it taps directly into Ableton's system. It's a solid addition to any dubstep setup. Producers in...

Sometimes, Excel documents created on older computers or versions of Excel become unstable on newer versions; similarly, Excel documents can be saved in many different file formats. By changing the Excel file format to "xlsx" (or "xls" for older programs), you can fix this problem. Click the blue, face-shaped app icon in your Mac's Dock. Go to the folder in which your Excel file is located, then click the Excel file that you want to recover. This menu item is in the top-left corner of your Mac's screen. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu. It's in the File drop-down menu. This will open a pop-up window. If you don't see any file name or extension below this category, click the triangle to the left of the "Name & Extension" heading to view the file's name and extension. Replace whatever comes after the period at the end of the file name with xlsx and then press ⏎ Return.  For example, if the document was named "Spreadsheet1.txt", you would change it to "Spreadsheet1.xlsx". If the file extension already is "xlsx", try using "xls" or "html". This will confirm your decision and change the file type. Double-click the file to open it. If the file opens in Excel (or, if you selected "html" as the extension, a web browser), your file has successfully been recovered.  If you chose the "html" extension, you can convert the webpage into an Excel document by dragging the html file onto the Excel icon and then saving the file that opens as a new "xlsx" file. If the file still won't open, proceed to the next Mac method.

There are many kinds of steam cleaners. They are typically divided by the kinds of materials that they can steam clean. The best steam cleaners for upholstery are upholstery steam cleaners, fabric steam cleaners, and handheld steam cleaners. The upholstery steam cleaner is made specifically for the job, fabric steam cleaners are made to clean fabric, and handheld cleaners are great for small, tight surfaces. The cleaners should either be handheld or have detachable wands or hoses. Pick which one you think will work better on your particular surface.  You want to avoid that large carpet steam cleaners. Those are too bulky and don't typically have fabric cleaning attachments. They will not work at all on your upholstery.  If you don't want to buy a steam cleaner of your own, you can rent one from many department, hardware, and grocery stores. To use a steam cleaner, you need to add water and cleaner to the machine. This will vary depending on the machine you have, so follow the directions based on the model that you have. Generally, you will remove a container from the steam cleaner and fill it with warm water and upholstery cleaner. Make sure you don't fill it too full. It can cause too much water and steam to be released on your fabrics, which will over saturate them. You will also need to add the correct attachment for upholstery. This may be a stationary brush, revolving brush, or a cloth, depending on the model you have. Avoid mixing too much soap into the water. It is much easier to wash an area a few times than it is to have to wash excess soap out of the fabric. If the piece of furniture that you are steam cleaning has removable pillows, such as a couch or chair, start cleaning them. Plug up the machine and turn it on. Take the handheld steam cleaner or the hose and attachment and spray the surface with the steam. There should be a button that releases the steam onto the fabric. This will wet the fabric once the steam hits it. Promptly drag the opening of the machine over the damp areas, sucking up the...

Once you are starting to feel comfortable with your own feelings, it is time to push yourself to change. Try to talk to and have a conversation with a gay person. Be respectful and nice, and do not ask pointed questions about his sexuality.  Just have a normal conversation and try and keep an open mind about the person you are talking with. Try neutral social questions such as: “Can you tell me about your job?” or “What sorts of movies do you like to watch? or “What is your favorite restaurant?” It is hard to put yourself in other’s shoes and understand how others are persecuted.  To help broaden your mind, try going to an advocacy meeting, rally, seminar, or lecture specifically aimed at gay/lesbian rights.
