Before turning the gas on, turn the temperature to the lowest setting. Switch the regulator valve to “Off” and wait 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes have passed, you can switch the valve to “Pilot." Call your gas company if you smell a rotten eggs odor. This could be a sign that you have a gas leak. Your water heater may have inner and outer access panels that need to be removed. If this is the case, take out the access panels in order to get to the pilot light. The access panels usually just slide right out. Keep the pilot button pressed down so that you'll be able to start up the water heater. If your model doesn't have a specific pilot button, press and hold the On/Off control. Find the small silver tube that is connected to the gas control valve — this is the pilot supply tube. Follow the silver tube to the end and use a long neck lighter to light the pilot. Once you've lit the pilot, continue to press down on the button for 20-30 seconds. After the time has elapsed, you can slowly release it and the pilot should continue to stay lit. If your pilot light goes out, light the pilot again and hold the pilot button down longer than the previous time. If your water heater has access panels, it's time to put them back in place. Forgetting to do this could cause serious injury if the flames suddenly flow out of the opening due to gas build-up. Switch the On/Off control to the "On" position, and put the temperature control to the setting you wish — 120 °F (49 °C) is recommended. After you've set the controls, you should hear your water heater firing up.

Turn the temperature down and the On/Off control to the "Pilot" setting. Remove access panels, if necessary. Press and hold down the water heater pilot button. Light the pilot using a long neck lighter. Keep the pilot button pressed for 20-30 seconds before releasing it. Put the access panels back on, if necessary. Turn the On/Off and temperature control to the right settings.


Before using adhesive weatherproofing products, thoroughly clean the area according to the directions on the weatherstrips. Once the area is dry, remove the backing of the adhesive strips a little at a time as you press them into place on the door jambs and along the edges of the doorframe.  Modern doors are usually designed with grooves along the sides and jambs that weatherstripping can be inserted into.  Sometimes it can be difficult to apply an adhesive strip by yourself. Asking a friend to help you out can make this process quicker and easier. Depending on the fit of your door, you may not be able to attach adhesive strips along every edge of the door. If a strip prevents the door from closing properly, it should be removed. Adhesive strips are usually sold in different widths and thicknesses, which will allow you to choose the best size for the gaps along the edges of your individual door. Measure gaps with a tape measure or ruler. One of the benefits of this kind of felt is you can trust it to last for at least a year or two even though it's relatively inexpensive. Cut the felt into strips long enough to stretch along each edge of the door, then use nails or staples to fasten it around the edges.  The felt should be thick enough that it compresses when the door closes, but it should not interfere with the closing of the door.  Normal carpentry staples should work for attaching felt to your door, but for improved durability, you may want to use heavy-duty ones. When you replace insulating felt, you'll have to take out the staples before reattaching the new piece. This can create unsightly holes where the felt was installed. Unattached door sweeps slide underneath the gap at the bottom of your door, closing it off at either side with where the sweep thickens. Open your door, and at the center of the sweep (where it thins like a trough) insert the sweep under the door.  On newer doors, there is usually a groove in the bottom of the door for inserting a sweep. Some unattached door sweeps can get bunched up...

Before washing new clothes, always check the tag to see how the manufacturer suggests that you wash the item. Instructions usually err on the side of caution, so following the directions is usually a safe bet. The more you wash your clothes, the more the colors will fade. To help your clothes stay bright after you set the colors, spot clean with cold water and detergent to keep your clothes clean while washing as little as possible. Synthetic fabrics like polyester are more sensitive to heat and tend to break down faster than natural fabrics, such as cotton. Therefore, they should be washed less to maintain their colors. To avoid over-washing, spot clean synthetic fabrics whenever possible. While warmer water is helpful when you are trying to remove stains, it also breaks down dye in fabric. Whenever possible, wash with cold water to help set the colors in your clothes and keep them looking bright.  Washing with cold water is particularly important if you are mixing clothing in different colors so that the various fabric dyes don't run together and ruin your clothes. Before putting your clothing in the washing machine, turn them inside out. This will shield the outside against friction from agitation, which breaks down fabric and causes it to appear faded. Use the cold water setting to protect the color even more. When shopping for a laundry detergent, look for detergents with “color booster” or “color protect” on the label. There detergents are designed to keep your clothing colors bright. Many color-boosting laundry detergents contain baking soda to help keep your clothing colors bright, so check the label for this as well.

Check the tag for washing instructions. Spot clean between washes. Wash your clothes in cold water. Wash your garments inside out. Use a color-boosting laundry detergent.


Before washing, boiling, and drying your suit, make sure it’s turned inside out. Doing so will keep the colors from running and your suit should maintain its original hues. If there are any bra inserts, go ahead and remove them at this time. Fill up the sink with cool water, and use a mild laundry detergent that doesn’t have any bleach or dyes in it. Wash the bathing suit in the soapy water, then drain the sink and use fresh water to rinse the suit until there are no more suds. If there is residual sunscreen, sweat, oil, sand, or grime on your suit when it goes into the dryer later, that could get baked into the material and make your suit hard and inflexible, so it’s important to clean it beforehand. Avoid putting your suit in the washing machine, as the rough tumbling could stretch out the fibers in the suit. Use a kettle, the microwave, or a pot on the stove to boil water (make sure to use a large pot or dish that won’t break from the heat). Submerge the suit completely in the boiling water and let it sit in there until the water cools down, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. The heat from the boiling water should start to shrink the fibers in the suit and prepare it for further shrinkage once it goes into the dryer. For optimum shrinkage, use the highest setting and the longest time that you can choose. Avoid drying the suit with a full load of laundry, as you want it to receive the highest blast of heat so that it can shrink down as much as possible. Most dryers can run for 60 to 70 minutes before they shut off. Instead of taking the hot garment right out of the machine and putting it on, set it to the side to let it cool off. The elastic can hold a lot of heat and might burn you if you were to put it on right away. It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes for the suit to cool off. Try the suit on after it has dried completely to see if it’s at the right size yet. If so, that’s great and you’re ready to enjoy your improved suit! If it’s still too big, go ahead and repeat the boiling and drying...

Turn your suit inside out to protect the pigments as much as possible. Wash the suit by hand in cool water to clean off any dirt, grime, or oil. Soak the suit in boiling water until the water cools to room temperature. Place the suit into the dryer on the highest setting available. Let the garment cool to room temperature once the dry cycle is done. Repeat the process 2 to 3 more times to gradually shrink the suit.


Before wearing your glasses out in public, take video or photos of yourself in them with different facial expressions. Review the video or photos to help you become accustomed to the way they look on you. Think of your glasses as an extension of your personality! It’s important to use positive thinking about your glasses. Be confident when you’re wearing your glasses by finding inspiration in other people who know that wearing glasses is cool. Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Drake, Lebron James, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston and Alicia Keys are just handful of public figures who wear glasses. If your glasses have corrective lenses, you will look much better with a clear-eyed look than if you’re squinting to see close-up or far-away objects. Eye strain simply isn’t cool: it can further damage your vision and cause other symptoms like dry eyes and headaches. Be cool in the face of criticism, if you encounter any. Any negative stereotype that exists about glasses can be outweighed by considering the real and positive statistics about eyeglass wearers. If someone is immature enough to call you a label like “four eyes,” there are many reasons not to let it bother you!  In general, people who were glasses are actually perceived as more trustworthy than those who don’t wear glasses.  Job candidates who wear glasses are more likely to get hired.  Approximately 75% of people in the US wear something on their eyes to better their vision. That statistic doesn’t include those who wear eyeglass frames without corrective lenses, either! Clean your glasses. You’ll look trendier if your glasses aren’t cloudy or full of cracks. Be careful not to drop them, and don’t set them aside with the lenses down to avoid scratching them. When you aren’t wearing your glasses, keep them in a sturdy eyeglasses case. Never set your glasses down somewhere you can sit on and break them.

Take selfies. Find inspiration. Acknowledge the benefits of glasses. Ignore critics. Keep your glasses in good condition.


Before whisking, you want to make sure that the container is much larger than your starting product. This way, there will be enough room for the mixture to move around. You should also be sure to use a container that can withstand the fork. If you are using a non-stick pan, it could be damaged by your fork-whisk. Use two forks that are approximately the same size. They should also have the same length handle. Place them on top of one another with a folded paper towel in between the handles. This paper towel will simple add some space between your forks, which helps add air to the mixture like a standard whisk would. Use tape to connect them halfway down the handles. Now that you’ve created your makeshift whisk, make sure that you use it correctly. Hold the bowl at an angle with your whisk in the mixture. Make very small circles very quickly, mostly using your wrist. Dip the whisk in and out of your mixture to help incorporate air.

Use the right bowl or pan. Get two forks. Tape the forks together. Use the forks like a whisk.


Before working on a vehicle’s electrical system, it is important to disconnect the battery.  Use the appropriate hand or socket wrench to loosen the nut holding the ground cable on the negative terminal of the battery, then slide the cable off of the terminal and tuck it to the side. You will not need to disconnect the positive wire. Spark plug wires come from an ignition source such ignition coil packs or a distributor and connect to the spark plugs via holes in the cylinder head of the engine.  Grip the plug wire from the base at the spark plug, and pull back on the wire to disconnect it.  Plug wires will often come off with a “pop” and may require a bit of force. Do not pull on the wire itself, as it may tear the plug wire and leave the base connected to the spark plug. Make sure the area around the spark plug holes is clean of debris, dirt or oil before removing the spark plugs.  The spark plugs are screwed directly into the cylinder chamber, so anything that falls into the holes will be falling directly into the engine itself.  Debris falling into the holes can cause serious damage to the engine the next time you start it. If anything does fall into the holes, use a shop vacuum or canned air to get it out before re-installing a spark plug. Spark plug sockets resemble ordinary sockets but have a rubber cup inside them that grips the spark plug as you unscrew it.  A regular socket of the right size will simply unscrew the plug but leave it inside the hole. Spark plugs usually come in only one size and spark plug sockets tend to fit plugs in most applications. Unscrew the spark plug by turning the wrench in a counter-clockwise motion until it has completely unthreaded.  Then slide the spark plug socket up out of the hole gently with the spark plug still inside. If the spark plug is still warm, you may want to leave it in the socket as you examine it.

Disconnect the battery. Disconnect the spark plug wire. Clean the area around the spark plug hole. Use a spark plug socket to unscrew the plug. Remove the spark plug with the socket.


Before working to gain your abused horse’s trust, it will be important for you to understand what type(s) of abuse he suffered in the past. There are two types of abuse: passive and active. Passive abuse does not involve physical harm. Rather, it is characterized by neglect—lack of food, water, shelter, or veterinary care.  Active abuse involves physical harm, such as excessive use of a whip, unreasonably heavy loads, and beatings.  The type of abuse may play a role in how long it will take for your horse to trust you. Passive abuse may be easier for your horse to overcome than physical abuse. Learning what type of abuse your horse endured will help you understand what kind of uphill battle you will face to gain his trust. Obtaining more information about his life as a whole will give you an even better idea of how to work with him. For example, you can ask more probing questions about his abuse: When did the abuse start? How long did it last? How severe was it?  Consider asking what your horse is afraid of.  Ask about his prior veterinary care (e.g., deworming, vaccinations, dental exams). Try to learn more about his temperament: Is he aggressive? Does he startle easily? Finding out whether your horse has worked with an equine behaviorist would be helpful information. There are many questions you could ask the previous owner or rescue group to learn more about your horse. Ask as many questions as you can think of. Depending on the nature or severity of your horse’s recent abuse, he may have many special needs. For example, if he suffered from a lack of food and water, he will probably have specific dietary needs to help him put weight back on and correct nutritional deficiencies.  If he did not receive consistent veterinary care, he will probably need a number of veterinary services—deworming, vaccinations, dental exam, shoe trimming, etc.  Active abuse may have left him with physical injuries requiring veterinary care. Keep in mind that the effects of abuse may not be visible. He may have developed serious...

Before working with the electronic system in your vehicle, it’s important to disconnect the battery to avoid shocking yourself or doing any damage.  Open the hood and use a hand or socket wrench to loosen the nut holding the black ground cable on the negative terminal on the battery.  Once loose, pull the cable off and tuck it to the side of the battery to avoid allowing it to come back into contact with the terminal.  The negative terminal can be located by looking for the letters “NEG” or the negative symbol (-) on the battery. You will not need to disconnect the positive cable. There are a number of places one could feasibly mount a spotlight, so choose a location that’s best for your purposes.  Some common locations include on top of your side mirror or on the roof of the vehicle.  You will need to identify the location you intend to mount the spot light first in order to cut the proper lengths of wire. Remember that if you install the spotlight on your roof, you will have to drill through it, which may cause leaking. There are a number of options on the market for spotlights and installation kits.  The three common types of spotlights you can purchase are halogen, LED and HID.  Each style of light has its own strengths and weaknesses and should be chosen based on application and budget.  Halogen lights will be the cheapest and usually the dimmest.  However, the bulbs are less expensive to replace when they blow out. LED lights can be extremely bright and cost more than most halogen spotlight applications. HID lamps are the most expensive, but offer the longest lifespan and often the brightest lights. You may decide to install a button or switch inside your vehicle to turn the spotlight on and off.  On many spotlights, the switch will be on the light itself and will require no further wiring.  If you opt to wire the light to a switch on your dashboard, however, the installation will be a bit more in depth.  If you decide to run a switch for a light that has one on the light, leave the switch on the light...

Disconnect the battery. Choose a suitable mounting location. Decide what type of light to use. Determine where you want to place the switch.


Before writing a net ionic equation, you must first make sure your starting equation is completely balanced. To balance an equation, you add coefficients in front of compounds until there is an equal number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.  Write the number of atoms that comprise each compound on either side of the equation. Add a coefficient in front of elements that are not oxygen and hydrogen to balance each side. Balance the hydrogen atoms. Balance the oxygen atoms. Re-count the number of atoms on each side of the equation to make sure they are equal. For example, Cr + NiCl2 --> CrCl3 + Ni becomes 2Cr + 3NiCl2 --> 2CrCl3 + 3Ni. Oftentimes, you will be able to identify keywords in a problem that will tell you the state of matter for each compound. There are some rules to help you determine the state of an element or compound.  If no state is provided for an element, use the state found on the periodic table. If a compound is said to be a solution, you can write it as aqueous, or (aq). If there is water in the equation, determine whether or not the ionic compound will dissolve using a solubility table. If it has high solubility, the compound will be aqueous (aq), if it has low solubility, it will be solid (s). If there is not water, the ionic compound is a solid (s). If the problem mentions an acid or a base, they will be aqueous (aq). For example, 2Cr + 3NiCl2 --> 2CrCl3 + 3Ni. Cr and Ni in their elemental forms are solids. NiCl2 and CrCl3 are soluble ionic compounds, therefore, they are aqueous. Rewritten, this equation becomes: 2Cr(s) + 3NiCl2(aq) --> 2CrCl3(aq) + 3Ni(s). When a species or compound dissociates, it separates into its positive (cation) and negative (anion) components. These will be the components that get balanced at the end for the net ionic equation.  Solids, liquids, gases, molecular compounds, low solubility ionic compounds, polyatomic ions, and weak acids will not dissociate. The oxides and hydroxides with alkali or alkaline earth metals will dissociate...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Balance the complete molecular equation. Identify the states of matter of each compound in the equation. Determine what species will dissociate (separate into cations and anions) in solution. Calculate the charge of each dissociated ion. Re-write the equation with the soluble ionic compounds broken down into their individual ions. Remove the spectator ions by canceling out identical ions on each side of the equation.


Before you actually start planning any date you will want to think about who you are inviting on the date.  You will want to make sure that everyone going on the date will be compatible with one another.  Take a few moments to think about the personalities of those going on the date to make sure it will be a good one.  Think about the other couple you are bringing along and make sure they will be a good fit for you and your partner. Try to find a good mix of personalities that will prevent any one person from dominating the conversation or from shying away. Although you will be going on a double date, taking a few moments alone with your partner can be a good idea.  This small break can give you both some time to enjoy each others company alone and discuss your thoughts and feelings about the evening.  Think about some ways you can enjoy small moments as a couple during your double date.  You might try asking your date to grab the next round of drinks with you. Getting up to dance with your date can give you both a few minutes together. Going on a double date will require you all to pay careful attention to everyone's mood and level of engagement.  Whatever the reason, you will have to step in and engage someone if it feels like they aren't comfortable, are acting withdrawn, or are being excluded.  Keep everyone engaged and part of the evening to help make your double date a good one.  If someone hasn't spoken in some time you should steer your conversation in a direction that involves their thoughts. Make sure to focus your energy on the other couple and not just your own date. Part of double dating is sharing the evening with another couple.  This couple won't share the same bond that you and your date might.  Always avoid over-sharing personal details or being overly affectionate with your partner when on a double date to keep things comfortable.  Don't discuss anything too personal that might make the other couple uncomfortable. Keep your displays of affection light.

Think of who you are going on the date with. Take a few moments to yourselves. Include everyone. Avoid being too intimate or personal.


Before you add your fillings or work on any folds, you should heat the tortilla slightly in the oven, on the stove, or in the microwave. A warm tortilla is less likely to crack than a cold or room temperature tortilla.  To warm tortillas in an oven, first preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Wrap a stack of eight tortillas in aluminum foil and heat them in your preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. If warming a tortilla on the stove, turn one burner on high. Grab one tortilla with a pair of tongs and hold it over the burner for a few seconds, occasionally swapping sides. Remove once it softens and starts to turn brown. To warm tortillas in the microwave, wrap a stack of eight in a clean, semi-damp paper towel or dish towel. Microwave the stack on full power for 30 to 45 seconds.

Before you address the issue with your partner, you should sit down and consider why you get so upset when your partner ignores you on social media. Are you worried they are speaking to individuals that they shouldn't be, such as a former partner or ex? Are you feeling a disconnect between your partner's online presence and your partner's real life? Do you worry you are being left out of online conversations or discussions your partner is having that you want to be included in? Thinking about why you are upset by your partner's decision to ignore you on social media can help you address the issue with them in a clear, decisive way. You can also speak about your feelings more honestly and clearly if you know what they are and why you are upset. When you decide to address the issue, start by finding a time where you can be alone with your partner. If you live with your partner, choose a quiet, private area in your shared space, such as the living room, the bedroom, or the kitchen. If you do not live with your partner, you may invite them over to your place to talk to them so you have privacy and can talk freely. You may set up the conversation by telling your partner, “I need to talk to you about something” or “Can we meet up and talk? I have an issue that I want to discuss.” Part of the reason why your partner may not engage with you on social media very much may be due to how they view social media. They may see it differently than you do. Try asking them how they feel about social media and what they think its purpose is. For example, your partner might see social media as a place to share interesting news stories and connect with friends who live far away. They may consider it inappropriate or uncomfortable to use social media as a way to share personal feelings with you. You and your partner should work on communicating with mindfulness and honesty. Encourage each other to be active listeners, where you pay attention to what you both have to say and respond with thoughtful questions. Being active listeners...

Before you adjust the watering direction or distance, you will need to set the starting point for the water rotation. Find the center cap on the rotor case. Move it all the way to the right until it stops and you can no longer turn it. Then, move it to the left until it stops. Rotate the entire rotor case to line up the left edge in the correct position.  Do not rotate the rotor case past the left edge, as this can damage the case. The instructions to set the fix left edge will work for the Rain Bird 2SA, 42SA, 42SA+, 52SA Series. Grip the spray head between two fingers. Then, rotate it by hand so it is aimed at the direction you want the water to spray. For example, if you want the water to spray towards the right, rotate the head to the right. If you want the water to spray more to the left, rotate the head to the left. You can have the water on or off when you adjust the spray distance, though it may be easier with the water off. Take a flat-bladed screwdriver and place it on the center screw on the head. Then, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the spray distance up to 25 percent.  Be careful not to turn the screw so far that it goes into the head. It should sit just in front of the nozzle so the head is secure. The spray distance on Rain Bird models is 19 to 32 feet (5.8 to 9.8 m). If you want the distance to be any higher or shorter, you will need to change the rotor nozzles or adjust the water pressure.

Before you administer any kind of treatment it's important to know what you're dealing with. Signs and symptoms of shock include the following:  Cool, clammy skin that may appear pale or grayish Profuse sweating or moist skin Bluish lips and fingernails Rapid and weak pulse Rapid and shallow breathing Enlarged or contracted pupils (pupils can enlarge in septic shock, but can constrict in traumatic shock) Low blood pressure Low or no urine output If the person is conscious, he or she will display an altered mental status such as being disoriented, confused, anxious, agitated, dizzy, lightheaded, or feel faint, weak, or fatigued The person may complain of chest pain, nausea, and experience vomiting Losing consciousness follows Shock is a medical emergency, will require expert medical attention, and hospitalization.  You may save the person’s life by ensuring that paramedics are on the way while you initiate treatment. If possible, stay on the line with the emergency services dispatcher to continually provide updates about the person’s condition. Follow the instructions provided by the dispatcher until emergency medical help arrives. Make sure the airway is clear, be sure the person is breathing, and check for a pulse.  Observe the person's chest to see if it rises and falls, and place your cheek next to the person’s mouth to check for breath. Continue to monitor the person’s respiration rate at least every 5 minutes, even if they are breathing on their own. If blood pressure equipment should be available and can be used without causing further injury, monitor the person’s blood pressure and report it to the dispatcher. Only administer  CPR if you are trained to do so. An untrained person may do serious harm to someone by attempting CPR.  Only trained people should administer CPR to adults,  children, and  infants, due to the risk of serious and life-threatening injury.

Before you agree to any medical procedures (such as scans or lab work), check to see if your treatment will be covered by your Medicare plan. Each Part offers different coverage, so it is important that you read about what your particular plan offers.You should also check to make sure that your doctor's office accepts Medicare--most do.  You can find out whether a specific treatment is covered by reading the provided material. You can get this at the Social Security Office or online when you enroll. There should be someone at the doctor's office or hospital who is familiar with Medicare. Ask to speak to that person, and they should be able to tell you whether or not what you need done will be covered. Since Medicare is a program of the federal government, it is subjective to changes. Sometimes legislation can affect things like coverage and premiums. Make sure to stay current on the news relating to health care. If you think there has been legislation that may affect you, you can ask your insurance provider or the Social Security Office for more information. Your doctor (and his support staff) are one of the most important health care resources that you have. Talk to him about any concerns you may have. For example, if he recommends a procedure that is not covered by Medicare, find out if this is an essential medical necessity.  Medicare does not dictate that you only see one doctor. You should feel free to get a second opinion if you are not comfortable with the options being provided.

Know what is covered. Follow current events. Consult your doctor.


Before you and your family can practice minimalism together, you should sit down and discuss the importance of this possible lifestyle change together. Have a family meeting where you all discuss what it means to have a minimalist lifestyle and how it will benefit each member of the family. This will ensure everyone is on board with going minimalist and make it clear what you all expect to get out of adopting this lifestyle.  For example, you may discuss the money you will save as a family by selling items you no longer use and by only buying items that are essential. You may also talk about how having less items in your home will give your children more space to run around and hang out. You could also discuss how adopting a minimalist lifestyle will help to simplify your family’s daily routine, giving you all more time to relax, focus, and enjoy each other’s company. Make sure to acknowledge anyone who is not on board with this philosophy, or who may need some extra support and encouragement to make the transition to minimalism. Give them a chance to voice their concerns about the lifestyle. Start by going around your home together as a family and identifying areas that could use the minimalist treatment. You may write down certain items that you plan to get rid of in each room and start a list of items to throw out, sell, or give away. You may also think about how you can reorganize the room so it looks less cluttered and more clean. You may write down notes for each room so you can address them as part of your plan once you put it into action. As a family, you should all think about the things you own and what you need and do not need. Go through your personal possessions and identify any items that you have not used in the last year to two years. You should also identify any items that are broken or worn out. Write down a list of personal possessions that you would be willing to give away, sell, or throw out. As a parent, you may instruct your children to do this on their own in their rooms. You may...

Before you announce your resignation to anyone you must have your plans in order. The last thing you want to do is give false or changing information throughout the process of leaving.  If you don’t have all your details in order, you can make it harder for your employer to hire a replacement and plan for your departure. A situation such as this may lead to ending your employment on bad terms with a bad reference and/or a disbelief that you are actually leaving with a chance of being asked to leave. Be absolutely sure you are resigning. Whether you have another job or are leaving for other reasons, it is important to stick to the plan once you have made an announcement. Know your exact last day and follow the two weeks or more notice rule. It is most important for your current and future employer (if there is one) to have a solid date of when you are leaving your current job.  For most companies and positions, a 2 week notice is standard and acceptable. However, your company may require more time due to job specific circumstances. For example, if you are the only one in the IT department, you most likely will be asked to stay longer than 2 weeks to allow the employer to find a replacement. If you need to attend to personal matters, make sure you give your employer dates or times you may need to take care of personal matters prior to your resignation. For example, if you are moving out of state or resigning due to an illness, your employer may be flexible in giving you some time off to take care of personal matters. Once you have announced your resignation, it may be hard to stay as long as you have agreed to. This can be for many reasons, including being over your current job or being anxious to start a new one.  If you leave your current job prior to the time you agreed to stay, it will most likely be considered insubordination. This will render you ineligible for rehire and can present a bad reference issue in the future. A letter of resignation is generally very brief and to the point. In your letter of...

Determine the details to make sure you don't flip-flop. Give two weeks notice to leave on a good note. Ask for time off to attend to personal matters. Plan to stay till your last day. Write a signed letter of resignation. Request a meeting with your manager and/or human resources.


Before you apply a wax or polish to your car, it’s important that it be completely clean. It’s also recommended that you work somewhere that’s not in direct sunlight, as this can make it harder for the wax to set properly.  Speed the drying process along by going over the exterior with an absorbent chamois.  Waxing a dirty car will just trap dirt and debris against the paint. Dab a small amount of wax onto a clean buffer pad and spread it over the area you’re waxing. Then, leave the wax to sit for a few minutes. As it dries, it will begin to grow cloudy, which is how you’ll know it’s time to wipe it off.  Car waxes typically come in one of two forms: a liquid or a thick paste. Both types of wax can be applied using the same techniques.  Wax should only be used on the painted areas of your vehicle’s exterior, not the windshield, wheels or other parts. Use a non-abrasive cloth, like a microfiber or terry cloth towel, to buff out the dried wax. Doing so will leave your car with a clear, polished shine. A coat of wax will also act as a defensive barrier that makes crushed bugs easier to wipe away in the future.  Buff with short, circular strokes to avoid leaving streaks.  For maximum efficiency, concentrate on a single section at a time until you’ve gone over your entire vehicle. The wax will begin to wear down and lose its effectiveness within a month. You can maintain your car’s armor by regularly applying a fresh coat of wax. Not only will this keep it looking good, it will also make it less likely to attract bugs and other roadway messes. If you dread the time and labor involved in waxing your vehicle yourself, consider taking it to have it done by a professional.

Wash and dry your vehicle. Rub on a coating of wax. Wipe away the wax. Wax your car every 2-3 months.


Before you apply any liner, put some eyeshadow primer or concealer under your eyes and on your lids, and blend it well. This will create a smoother, more even-looking base for your eyeliner, and will also help the liner adhere to your eyelids better. Hold your eyeliner pencil at the end point of your bottom lash line. Point it upward diagonally so that it looks like a continuation of your lower lash line.  The line will extend diagonally up and out. If you have a hooded eyelid, you may need to angle the wing more outward than upward to avoid the hooded part of your lid. To get the right angle for your wing, visually trace a line from the outer edge of your nostril to the outer corner of your eyebrow. Use your pencil eyeliner to fill in the winged outline you just created until all the skin between the lines is covered.  This does not have to be especially thorough if you plan on tracing over the pencil eyeliner with liquid liner later on. Fill in the eyeliner as close to the eyelashes as possible to avoid gaps of skin peeking through. The idea is to blend your eyelashes into the eyeliner. To make it appear as though the wing is getting thinner naturally as it goes into the eye, use short strokes of your eyeliner pencil to smooth out the corner between the end of your wing and the liner on the upper lash line. The eyeliner should be its thinnest at the innermost corner, but it should appear as though it is gradually getting thinner in this direction.

Prep your eyelid with concealer or primer. Measure how far out the wing should go. Fill in the outline. Thicken the line at the inner eyelid.


Before you ask her out, you can use the same signals to show her you like her, too. For instance, you can smile at her every time you see her, touch her arm in conversations, and invite her to sit next to you at lunch. when you work up the courage. Confidence is attractive, so try to believe in yourself. If she doesn't like you, well, there's someone else out there for you! To bolster your confidence, try practicing what you're going to say in a mirror first. Take a deep breath, and try to say it in a slow, steady voice. Try a small "date" first. Ask her if she wants to hang out after school or go get a soda. You could even ask to study together. The more you're together, the more likely your friendship will blossom into something more. For instance, you might say, "Hey Catherine! You feel like grabbing a soda with me after school?" If she doesn't return calls or texts and she disappears when you're around, she may not like you. If you feel like you're getting these signals, accept it and move on. You'll find someone else in time! This is especially true after you've had a date or hung out together more. If she suddenly stops wanting to hang around with you, that may mean she's decided she's just not that into you.

Before you ask, look for signs that they have a crush on you. At best, this will give you confidence as you prepare to ask them. At worst, you'll have a realistic idea of their feelings.  Watch for changes in your friendship. Does your friend act differently around you? Maybe they laugh more at your jokes or seem shyer. Significant changes in their behavior could mean they've developed feelings for you, especially if they seem nervous or excited. If you're bad at reading the signs, ask a mutual friends! Have a conversation about your best friend with them. Casually ask if they know whether your friend likes anyone. Sometimes a second opinion offers an excellent perspective. Unless you ask them, you can't know one way or the other. Don't assume you know for sure until you have talked to them. Running through your plan before will save you from awkward moments later. If talking aloud helps, try practicing with a friend or in a mirror. Getting the words out can help you visualize the situation better. Prepare for the various ways they might respond. What will you do if they say they like you? What if they don't? What if they refuse to respond? You don't have to be a mind reader, but work through multiple outcomes. Facing your fears before you ask them the question can save you stress and anxiety. Maybe they don't like you, they feel uncomfortable, or they don't want to be your friend anymore. Is asking them still worth it? If so, ask them anyways. No matter what happens, you might feel relief after. Even if your worst-case scenario happens, you'll know their answer for sure. Only you can decide whether the risk is worth it. Think about when and where you and your friend are together. Determine what circumstances would be ideal to ask them in. You will not want to ask them if they like you spontaneously.  Ask them out in person, if you can. While asking through a text or phone call can seem comfortable, you'll appear more sincere in person. Where is just as important as when. Find a place that is quiet and...

Before you attempt to make a new position, take into account the ways you impact your company. You may find out that you aren’t showing your strongest points in your work. On the other hand, your weakest points can hold you back. Use your list to help you identify ways you can do better at work.  Creating a job at work is almost like going through a job interview. Not only can your strong points give you new ideas for jobs, but they make the company more likely to set up a new job for you. For example, you may realize that computer programming is your strong point, not sales, so you decide to transition to a job that involves computers. If you want a job that doesn’t exist yet, you have to go out and get it. That may seem a little strange, but it’s up to you to convince the company that you’re the right person for the job. To do this, seize opportunities for new work and projects in addition to your existing responsibilities as an employee. Prove to the company that you’re a go-getter whose ideas should be heard.  Researching a company’s structure, goals, and employees is very helpful. Look for ways to modernize old jobs or areas the company falls short in. Pick the right projects for you. You don’t need to take on everyone’s extra work. Instead, understand your limits and try to stick to responsibilities that relate to the job you want. If you want to be a social media manager, for instance, you might volunteer for work that involves writing and advertising. Draft a basic outline explaining what your project is, your duties, and what good it will do for the company. Try to summarize it in a single sentence you can offer  to the company’s leaders. Tell them the summarized version face-to-face. If they are interested, you can then explain the project’s details.  If you’re uncertain about your project, ask a friend, mentor, or coworker for advice. Recite the summary in the mirror until you feel confident. You can say something like, “The company’s computer systems are out of date, and you can benefit by having...

Before you begin an exercise program, make sure your doctor approves.  This applies if you were exercising before you were pregnant or if you are starting a new routine. Benefits of exercising while pregnant include prevention of back pain and discomfort, improved sleep, prevention of excess weight gain, increased endurance and muscle strength, and improvements in your mood and energy levels.  Your doctor will help you develop a personalized exercise plan that takes into account your previous exercise habits and any other medical problems you may have. Exercising could be harmful if you have a low placenta, a weak cervix, a previous history of miscarriages, or a history of early labor. Walking, low-impact aerobics, swimming, and cycling on a stationary bike are recommended. You should be able to talk while you are exercising.  If you are unable to talk, you may be exercising to vigorously.  If you exercised regularly before getting pregnant, you should be able to continue the exercise for most of your pregnancy. Exceptions to this may be those who participated in dangerous, high-intensity, or very strenuous activities. If you previously jogged, swam, danced, biked, or practiced yoga, chances are it will be safe and beneficial for you to continue. If you were inactive before pregnancy, it is still advisable to begin light forms of exercise, such as taking regular walks or swimming a few laps. You should start with 5 minutes of physical activity a day and build up until you can do at least 30 minutes a day.  You should always warm up and cool down and drink plenty of fluids while you are exercising. Prenatal yoga incorporates many exercises that will help you with strength, flexibility, relaxation, and breathing. Yoga is a nice compliment to aerobic exercise and is a great way to meet other pregnant women.  Look for instructors who are trained in prenatal yoga.  If your instructor is not trained, let them know that you are pregnant.  You may need to modify poses as your pregnancy progresses. Avoid hot yoga...

Before you begin any sort of treatment, you should see a doctor to make sure that what you are experiencing is eczema and not something else, such as psoriasis or a fungal infection. Your doctor can help you decide on the best course of treatment and may even refer you to a specialist if your hand eczema is severe. To determine the cause of your eczema, your doctor can have your skin patch tested to check for possible allergies. If you suspect that your hand eczema might be caused by an allergen, talk to your doctor about getting patch tested. The results of the patch test will help you to know what substance or substances are causing your eczema so that you can avoid them.  During the patch test, your doctor will apply a substance to a patch and apply the patch (or patches) to your skin to determine which ones are causing your eczema. The test itself will not hurt, but it may cause some pain and irritation due to the substances and how they react with your skin.  Nickel is a common irritant that can cause eczema flare-ups.  Patch-testing can check for a nickel allergy. It may also be helpful to compile a list of the products you use on or near your hands on a regular basis.  This list may include soaps, moisturizers, cleaning products, and any special substances that you may come into contact as part of your work or home routines. Your doctor may recommend that you use a 1% hydrocortisone ointment to help treat your eczema. This ointment is available over the counter and by prescription. Ask your doctor for recommendations if you are not sure what to look for.  Most hydrocortisone ointments are meant to be applied while skin is still damp, such as after a shower or after washing your hands. Make sure to follow the product instructions for the hydrocortisone ointment that your doctor recommends.  Stronger topical corticosteroids may be needed in some cases as well, but will require a prescription from your doctor. Eczema often causes extreme itchiness, but it is important that you do not scratch your hands to...

Before you begin breeding, you must set up the spawning tank of 20 gallons or larger. Set it up at least 3 months in advance to make sure the conditions are ideal. A 20 gallon tank is best because Angelfish need a tall tank to accommodate their large size. If an Angelfish feels cramped, they will not feel secure and will not spawn. Angelfish require clean water that’s not high in nitrites or ammonia for successful breeding. Using one or two sponge filters can rid the water of these.  The sponge filter also doesn’t trap fry, the fledgling fish, like some other filters. Clean the sponge filter every couple of weeks to keep the tank water in the best condition. Though very adaptable, most Angelfish do best in soft water that’s slightly acidic to neutral with a pH of about 6.5 to 7. If your water is too hard, use a de-ionization filter. If your water is too alkaline, use a reverse osmosis filter. Either of these filters can be obtained at an aquarium supply store. Put an aquarium heater at each end of the tank to ensure the correct temperature. Set the heat to 78 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 29 degrees Celsius) for optimal breeding conditions. Make sure to include several plants and some driftwood in the tank, so the Angelfish will have places to hide and feel secure. Angelfish prefer a spawning slate or terracotta flower pot on which to lay their eggs. Place the  slate at a 30 degree angle against the tank wall for optimal results. Place several spawning slates around the tank to give your Angelfish options. Angelfish will feel more secure in a dim environment, so arrange for natural light and make the tank darker by painting the outside bottom of the tank a black matte. This cuts down on reflection, which will make the Angelfish feel more secure. Instead of overhead lights in the room, use plant lights.

Before you begin cleaning bridles and saddles, you need to get them ready.  Undo any buckles on the tack and remove steel components, like those found in stirrups and bits. You do not want to get soap, saddle or otherwise, on the bit especially. Saddle soap can be harmful to your horse if ingested. Dip a soft cloth in warm water. Wring out the cloth until it is damp but not wet and wipe the saddle off. Allow it to dry completely before beginning the cleaning process. This opens the pores of the leather for a deeper clean. It can also prevent the leather darkening associated with saddle soap use. After your saddle has dried, you can begin the process of cleaning it with saddle soap.  Use a sponge that's been soaked in warm water. Do not use hot water, as this can damage the saddle. Aim for lukewarm. Apply a small amount of saddle soap to the sponge. Scrub down the saddle, scrubbing in a circular motion. If your saddle has a lot of hard-to-reach places, use a toothbrush in addition to your sponge. Using a clean and dry cloth, wipe the soap residue from the saddle. Make sure you get all the soap off, as you do not want white, crusty residue to surface after the saddle dries. Once you're saddle has dried after the application of saddle soap, there are a few more steps to the cleaning process.  To condition the leather and keep it moist and shiny, invest in a high quality leather conditioner. Neatsfoot oil is a good option. However, use oil sparingly as it can seep into padding under the saddle and cause damage. Consult the directions on the bottle before application to get a sense of how much you should use. Metal parts of the saddle, like stirrups, should not be washed with saddle soap. Instead, use warm water and dish soap.

Before you begin cleaning your electric smoker, make sure it’s cooled down enough for you to handle its interior components and surfaces safely. Press the power button to turn the smoker off, then remove the electrical cord from the wall outlet to make sure there’s no electricity running to it.  Failure to unplug your smoker could put you at risk of burns or electrical shock, even if it’s turned off. To ensure that all of your cooked items come out with the perfect smoked flavor, it’s recommended that you clean your smoker every time you use it. This includes the smoking racks, water cup, and chip tray. The racks and chip tray should simply slide out, while the water cup often sits loose at the bottom of the smoking chamber. Set these items aside nearby so you can easily replace them when you’re done, or clean them separately if needed. Don’t forget to empty and rinse out the water cup if there’s any water in it that’s been used previously. Scrape large food particles and lingering fat residue out the front of the open smoker. Have a broom and dustpan on standby to sweep up the remnants when you’re done. If there’s a lot of leftover debris your smoker, it may be a good idea to stretch out a layer of paper towels in front of your smoker to catch the stuff you brush out. Afterward, you can simply fold it up and toss it in the trash. For maximum cleaning power, use a kitchen sponge or stiff-bristled brush to work the soap solution in deeper and lift away greasy messes. Make sure you hit the inside of the door as well as all 3 walls and the floor and ceiling.  If your smoking racks are especially dirty, go ahead and give them a quick scrub while you’ve got them out. You can run the water cup and chip tray through the dishwasher, or rinse them under a faucet to wash away a light coating of ash or soot.  Avoid using steel wool or other abrasive cleaning tools. These may leave behind scratches on the interior surfaces of your smoker. If it’s been a while since you last cleaned your smoker and you notice mold growing...

Unplug the smoker and allow it to cool completely. Take all removable accessories out of the smoker. Use a damp paper towel to brush out any large pieces of debris. Scrub the inside of the smoking chamber thoroughly with soapy water. Wipe out the smoker using a clean, wet cloth. Pat the smoker dry with a clean rag or folded paper towel.


Before you begin cleaning your gas fireplace, you must first make sure you turn the gas valve to the “off” position. If you leave the gas running, it could cause a dangerous gas leak in your house.  The gas valve is typically on the wall next to the fireplace. Allow a few minutes for all the gas to leave the piping in the fireplace. You also need to wait until all of the gas fireplace components are cool before you begin the cleaning process. Remove the gas logs from the fireplace and take them outside for cleaning. Use a soft paintbrush to brush away any dirt or debris from the logs. Be gentle with your brushing because you don't want to damage the fragile logs.  Be sure to check each log for signs of corrosion — things like cracking, splitting, or burn holes — before returning them to the fireplace for use again. When you replace the logs, put them back exactly as they were. Don't rearrange them. The logs are designed and situated in a certain way to produce the best results. Remove each lava rock from the gas fireplace and place them on an old towel. Use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to go over each lava rock individually. This should suck up any loose dirt or grime that has settled on the rocks.  If some of your lava rocks are too small to be vacuumed without getting sucked up in the machine, put a piece of cheesecloth over the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and secure it with a rubber band. You can also use the vacuum hose to clean up around the vent of the heat exchanger. Use a soft-bristled brush to clean up any soot build-up.

Turn the gas off. Brush off the gas logs. Vacuum the lava rocks.


Before you begin cleaning your granite tile, it is important to remove surface dirt. Doing this will keep any bits of grit or grout from scratching your granite, which can trap bits of dirt deep in the stone and dull its finish. If your granite is just a little dirty, first try cleaning it with warm distilled water and some mild dish soap. Dilute a few drops of the soap in a bucket of water, wringing a soft cloth to remove excess water before each wipe of the granite tile. Standing water can stain granite if left too long.   Avoid soaps with lots of dyes and fragrances. Dyes can stain light colored granite. Microfiber cloths you can buy at the hardware store specifically designed for stone are best. Don’t ever use anything abrasive such as scrubbing sponges or steel wool to clean granite. Though the stone is durable, it is vulnerable to scratching. For example, you could clean all the tiles left to right in one row before moving to the next. If your granite tiles are on the floor, be sure not to clean yourself into a corner. Use circular motions to dry, as if buffing a car. If you don’t have a soft cloth, you can use an old T-shirt without screen prints.

Wipe the area with a dry mop or duster. Use warm distilled water and mild dish soap. Work in a methodical way so you don’t miss any spots. Dry the granite thoroughly to avoid water spots.


Before you begin cleaning, vacuum the wall and ceiling you intend to clean. Dust can attach itself to soot and the greasy byproduct of some smoke staining. Vacuuming the dust away will cut down on your cleaning time and the amount of rags and cleaning solution you'll need. Vacuuming is especially important for popcorn ceilings and other uneven textures, as water and a rag will not be likely to get into all of the crevices. After you've vacuumed, remove any lingering dust with a dry towel or a sponge. There are sponges created specifically for removing soot and smoke staining. These can be found at most hardware stores. If the area is extremely small, you can use a degreasing dish soap to begin cleaning. On a larger area, you'll need more strength. A solution such as TSP (trisodium phosphate) can cut through grease, soot, and staining quickly, making clean-up a breeze.  TSP should never touch your bare skin, so be sure to wear gloves. Also be sure to use a cleaning rag or sponge you do not mind ruining, as TSP can cause bleaching and may wear down material. For a gentler alternative, use 1 cup (240 mL) of ammonia diluted in a bucket of hot water. Once you've sprayed the area, begin wiping away the solution and soot with firm strokes. If there is a lot of soot, you may need to use several rags or sponges, and may want to stay close to running water to rinse away dirt and debris. A single pass with a degreasing agent may not do the trick, especially on large, heavily-stained areas. Continue passing over the area with a degreaser until all remnants of the staining and soot have been removed. If the area has sustained heavy damage, you may need to increase the cleaning agent in your solution. To do so, increase in small increments.

Before you begin cooking, you need to wash the rice. Fill a large bowl with cold water and pour in the rice. Use your hand to stir the rice in one direction. The water should get cloudy, so pour off the cloudy water. Refill the bowl with water. Continue rinsing the rice until the water is clear. Washing the rice removes surface starches and any debris. After you have you rinsed the rice, soak it. Place the rice in a bowl of cold water and let it soak for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Soaking the rice helps the grains expand and be fluffy. You can soak the rice in the water you plan on boiling it in. If you do this, then the amount of water you need to use is 1.25 times the amount of rice. For 2 cups of rice, use 2 1/2 cups of water. If you are adding mixed vegetables, such as carrots, beans, tomatoes, cauliflower, or peas, cut them into smaller pieces. Make sure you wash the vegetables and set them aside, ready to be added to your rice.

Before you begin cutting into the metal, put on a pair of safety goggles. Since the metal will be tough to work through, there is some risk that a drill bit may snap off in the middle of the process. That bit could be hurdled toward your eyes and may cause injury if you leave your eyes unprotected. Attach a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) drill bit to a power drill, then drill along the entire outline on your metal.  Drill along the perimeter of the overall design and around the perimeter of each hole you intend to make. The drill holes should be close but distinct. As a general rule, leave no more than half the diameter of the drill hole, roughly 1/16 inch (1.6 mm), in between separate holes. Do not overlap the holes since doing so may cause the bit to slip. Also note that you should use a corded power drill instead of a cordless one, if possible. A cordless power drill will be more likely to overheat, so you may need to take more breaks as you drill if you choose to use one. Place the tip of a flathead screwdriver on the metal in between separate holes, then use a hammer to strike the base of the screwdriver. Continue striking the screwdriver with the hammer until it breaks off the remaining metal.  You'll need to repeat this around the entire pattern, breaking off the metal bridges in between drill holes one at a time. Punch around all of the previously made drill holes, including all exterior and interior ones. You may need to punch from both the back and front of the design. This part of the process can be very time consuming and will require plenty of physical strength. Note that you can cut the outside edge off in pieces using a hacksaw if you feel confident in your ability to control the direction of the machine around curved edges, but doing so is not necessary. You can punch the entire thing out using nothing but the hammer and screwdriver. After you've punched through the drill holes, you should be able to push the knuckle duster form out of the metal block using nothing but your fingers.  At the completion of...

Before you begin digging, it's important to carefully plan the location of each fence post.  Fence posts are usually spread six to eight feet apart, with any corner posts being set first. Use larger posts for corners and gates.     Use wooden pegs to mark the location of each post and use a string line to align the posts and mark the line of the fencing. To dig each post hole, pull up the wooden peg and dig a hole approximately two feet deep, using a shovel and then a post hole digger. The post hole digger maintains the necessary width of the hole as it digs.  When digging the post hole, a good rule of thumb is to make the hole deep enough to bury 1/3 of the length of the fence post. This gives them better stability, helping them to withstand heavy weight and high winds.     The post hole should be 10 to 12 inches wide.    When all of the fence posts have been erected, you will need to fill them using either concrete or post mix.  If using concrete, fill each post hole with the wet cement (which you should prepare according to the instructions on the packaging) and use a stick to stir the wet mix while pouring to eliminate any air pockets.     Overfill the top of the hole with concrete, then use a trowel to slope the concrete away from the fence post. This prevents water from collecting around the base. Alternatively, you can stop pouring the concrete a couple of inches from the top of the whole, then fill with soil once the concrete is dry.     If you're using post mix (which has a significantly shorter drying time than concrete), you will need to half fill the post hole with water, then pour in the post mix until it reaches slightly below soil level. It is recommended that you wear a mask, goggles and gloves while you do this.    While the concrete or post mix is still wet, use the spirit level to make sure each fence post is completely vertical. Make any adjustments if necessary. Leave the concrete or post mix to dry completely. Concrete may take up to 48 hours to dry.

Before you begin eating, unfold your napkin and place it across your lap. This way no food will drop onto your clothing while you are eating. You should never tuck your napkin into the front of your shirt or dress when engaging in a fine dining experience.  Place the napkin on your chair any time you leave the table temporarily. At the end of the meal, neatly fold the napkin and set it to the left of your place setting. At a very formal dinner, you may notice three sets of cutlery around your plate. Forks will be positioned to the left of your plate (with salad forks furthest to the left and dinner forks closest to your plate), knives will be to the right of your plate, and spoons will be above your plate or to the right of the knives. Always work your way inwards with each dish. This means that the cutlery positioned farthest from your plate should be used for the first course. If you are still unsure of which utensils to use first, watch what other people at the table are doing and follow their lead. Hold your fork in your left hand, with the tines facing down. Hold your knife with your right hand. Always use your fork to spear your food and lift it to your mouth, instead of your knife. When using a spoon, dip your spoon into the center of the bowl. Scoop the liquid by moving the spoon away from you toward the farthest side of the bowl. Bring the spoon to your mouth and sip from the spoon. It is rude to begin eating while other people at your table are still waiting for their food to be served. The only exception to this rule is if the host requests that you begin eating, or if your fellow diners tell you to start eating before your food gets cold. Most chefs pride themselves on perfectly seasoning their dishes. As a result, it can be seen as a rude gesture to season your food before tasting it. At some high end restaurants there will not even be salt and pepper available on the table. Always taste the food first and then determine if you would like some added seasoning. If you can't reach the bread basket...

Place your napkin in your lap. Use cutlery in the proper order. Hold your cutlery properly. Begin eating once all meals are served. Taste the food before seasoning. Don’t reach across the table. Excuse yourself before leaving the table.


Before you begin filleting or cutting the salmon, it’s important to ensure that your work area isn’t dirty or covered with germs. Wipe down your counter or cutting board with a solution of 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of bleach mixed into a gallon (3.7 liters) of water. Allow the solution to sit on the surface for 30 seconds before wiping it dry. To prepare the salmon, you'll need a filet knife and a butcher knife. Sanitize the knifes by filling a spray bottle with cool water and then remove the spray nozzle. Dip it approximately three-quarters of the way in bleach, return it to the bottle, and shake well to mix the bleach and water. Repeat the process two more times, and the spray the knives with the solution. Let it sit on the blades for 10 minutes. After sanitizing the knives, use hot water and an antibacterial dish soap to wash them. Dry the tools thoroughly with a clean towel when you're done. Wash your hands with antibacterial hand soap and dry them well as the last step of your preparation before handling the fish as well. To ensure that your hands stay clean, it’s a good idea to wear disposable kitchen gloves while you handle the salmon. To avoid spreading germs on your work surface, it helps to remove any excess moisture from the salmon before filleting it. Use a clean kitchen towel or some paper towels to blot the fish.

Sanitize your work surface with a bleach solution. Disinfect your knives with a small amount of bleach. Wash your knives and hands. Dry the fish thoroughly.


Before you begin filming, pass out a copy of the shooting script and briefly outline the goals of the commercial. Let people know if there is a specific tone you are going for (comedic, serious, etc.) so that they can do their jobs according to your vision.  If you are shooting across multiple days or locations, highlight the moments you will be filming that day and quickly tell people how the fit into the final commercial. If working with a DP, review the camera and lighting choices ahead of time so that you are ready to shoot when everyone arrives. Blocking is where people stand and where they move. Set your cast and crew up, and use a small piece of tape to mark their locations on the floor. If they will be moving around, mark the spots they move to and from separately. Keep the blocking simple -- have people walk in straight lines and stand when delivering lines. This will make everyone's job easier while filming. Once you know where your actors are standing you can adjust the lighting so that they are visible and clear. Unless you're going for a very specific effect (such as police lights on a law firm's commercial) you want to keep the light even and natural. Avoid big bright spots or faint, almost gray light. Try and get even lighting on everything, with few bright spots and several dark, deep shadows.  It can help to set your camera, briefly, to Black and White to check the lighting. Does the picture still look interesting in black and white? If so, your lighting is good. If you don't have professional lights you can pick up clamp lights and work lights from home improvement stores, which have been used to light many independent productions. If you are filming the video yourself, be sure to use your camera's "white balance" feature before starting. This adjusts the camera to the lights so that it looks natural. The microphones attached to the camera will work, but the sound quality will be poor and the final production will be amateur-sounding. It is proven that most audiences notice bad sound before...

Make sure your entire cast and crew knows the script and message of the ad. Set up the actors' blocking. Light the scene around the blocking. Set up your microphones to pick up as much dialogue as possible. Pick up some B-roll once you have all of your essential footage.


Before you begin gluing, make sure your plates are ready and that you have the proper materials.  You’ll need to get a really strong glass glue, such as E6000 glue or marine grade glue. If you plan to paint your plates with glass paint, do so in advance and fire in the oven if needed. Surfaces need to be clean and dry before gluing, so wash and dry the plates beforehand. Arrange your plates in your desired order, and glue them so that the designs you want are visible.  Make sure that you glue them facing the right direction, to avoid one part of your design being inadvertently hidden. Let it air dry for about 24 hours (check the instructions on the glue). Once it has set firm, turn the flower head over. Glue a half inch coupling nut or pipe fitting onto the back of your plate by sticking it to the plate's side.  Again, leave this to dry overnight. Once that’s dried, you can thread a 3 inch (7.6 cm) threaded rod into the coupling nut, or (if you used a pipe fitting) a length of pipe to secure your plate head to the rod.

Prepare your plates for gluing. Glue your plates to one another. Attach a coupling nut to secure the plate head to the pole.


Before you begin making inquiries about obtaining a license you need to be sure that you know precisely who needs a license to operate. If you are just selling your old car, you don't need one. But, if you intend to sell cars as a business in any way, you do. As an indicator, note that if you don't have a license, it is illegal to do any of the following:  Sell more than a certain number of vehicles registered to you in any 12 month period, depending on the state. Sell any vehicles at all that are not registered to you. Buy and sell any vehicles simply for the purpose of making a profit.  If you are in any doubt about your status, contact your local DMV. Depending on what kind of cars you plan on selling, there are a few different types of licenses that you can apply for. This may affect the requirements for the license so be sure that you are clear about the nature of your business.  There are dealer wholesale only licenses if you are seeking to only sell to other car dealers. There are auto broker (non-retail) licenses if you want to help retail customer's find cars from other dealerships. There are also separate licenses for new vehicle dealerships, and old vehicle dealerships. Each state has certain requirements for becoming a car dealer, and you will need to become familiar with yours if you want to do this right. The requirements can vary significantly, so there's no shortcut to investigating the rules and application procedures for your state.  For example, if you applying for a license in Pennsylvania you will need to complete at least five different applications, but if you applying in North Dakota you only need to do one.  Start by looking on the DMV website where you can easily access the information for each state. Once you have accessed the appropriate forms, you can download them and begin the progress of reading through them and planning out your responses to all the questions. Before you actually start filling in the form you will need to have a very solid understanding of your proposed car...

Before you begin making your bracelets, think about what you want to make. Knowing what you want to do will make you better prepared, ensuring that you don’t waste time and supplies on something that you don’t really want as well as allowing you to make a better-looking final product.  Look at your own collection. Look at your own bracelets, purchased or made by others. You can recreate or take ideas from aspects of pieces you already own and like. Maybe you like a particular type of bead or clasp or color. You will also want to look at your own collection to decide if there is a type of bracelet that you might need. Look for holes in your collection, such as a lack of casual bracelets for everyday use, and think about what you can make to fill that need. Look at what others have. You can similarly get ideas from bracelets that you see on other people. Does your best friend have a bracelet that you absolutely love? Try to recreate the qualities that you like about the bracelet so that you too can have the look. You can also look to fashion magazines and celebrities for inspiration. Browse local jewelry stores. Go to stores that specialize in jewelry, like Claire’s, or larger stores with jewelry departments, like Macy’s, to get ideas about what you might want to make. The wide selection in stores like these will allow you to get more ideas, as well as helping you stay at the front of fashion trends. Browse the internet. The internet is a great place to look for crafting ideas. Websites like Pinterest allow you to not only collect ideas but also find brand new ones through the lists that others have created. You can search by looking for just bracelets or you can also try to search by style, color, or materials. The internet can be useful because you can often find ideas as well as instructions. In order to make your bracelet you will need supplies. These can be simple and inexpensive or they can be elaborate and more costly. It depends on your personal preference, as well as your needs. Supplies are easily...

Before you begin measuring, stand still with your arms at your sides. Hold your arms slightly bent, with your fingers tucked into your front pockets. Begin at the middle of the upper back, slightly below the nape of your neck. Measure the length from the middle of the upper back to the stitching located at the shoulder of the shirt. Write this measurement down, as you will need it later. Measure the length from the top stitching on the shoulder to the bottom of the wrist. Aim for hitting your wrist bone with the measuring tape. Be careful not to measure too high above the wrist, or the dress shirt's sleeves will come to be too short. Add these two values together to find your sleeve length. The value should range anywhere from about 32 - 37 inches (81.3 - 94 cm).

Before you begin planning, it is necessary to decide on the location of the shower. Knowing how much space is available and what facilities you have to work with will help you to plan your décor.  Showers are often held at the mother-to-be's house, as this makes thing more convenient and comfortable for her (especially if she is heavily pregnant). This leaves you plenty of decorating opportunities, but you may need to discuss your ideas with the mother-to-be and her partner - especially if you plan on doing anything crazy! If you are hosting the baby shower in a restaurant, be aware that some restaurants will put a limit on how far you can go with decorating or rearranging the furniture, so make sure to speak with the restaurant manager before you make plans. Having a theme for the baby shower can help you to focus your ideas and make your décor look professional and well thought-out. What theme you choose is completely up to you, but here are some ideas:   Jungle theme: A jungle or safari theme is popular for baby showers, where the room is decorated in a mixture of greens and yellows and stuffed lions, monkeys and elephants are used to decorate.  Movie theme: Pick the mother-to-be's favorite childhood movie and use it as the theme of the party. For example, a "Wizard of Oz" themed party could have a "yellow-brick road" leading to the party room, which could be decorated in green for the Emerald City. You could even present the expecting mother with comfy ruby slippers upon her arrival!  Carnival/circus theme: A carnival or circus theme could be decorated with bright colors, have popcorn and candy-floss makers and have games like ring toss and rubber duck races. If a theme seems like too much effort you could simply choose a color scheme for your décor.  Staying within a particular color scheme can help to focus your party planning, making it easy to pick the color of decorations, from table clothes and napkins, to flowers and candles, to cakes and confetti. You could go with a classic theme of "It's a boy!"...

Before you begin practicing to get better at the sport or sports of your choice, think about your goals. This can help you focus your training and give you something for which to work.  Your goals don't need to be anything lofty and they shouldn't be unattainable, which could make you quit. For example, if you are currently running a 10-minute mile, you could set a goal of getting down to 8 minute miles in six months. It can be easy to formulate a plan for training once you have a concrete goal. It's easy to stick to any goals you have to get better at a sport if you formulate a reasonable plan. Your plan should include everything from training sessions times to specific drills or goals you have for each session. Remember to keep it reasonable, though. Gradual improvement will keep you motivated and not fatigue you to the point that you quit.  You can formulate plans with the help of sports magazines, coaches, trainers, or even friends. There are plans to help people attain their goals available in the media and on the web. Consider sticking with sources such as fitness sites or the sites of fitness magazines. Make sure to schedule at least one full day of complete and two if you need it. For example, if you want to get better at breaststroke in swimming, you might formulate a plan that includes swimming four days a week and incorporates drills that will specifically develop the leg and arm muscles you use for this stroke. You cannot get better at sports if you do not train on a regular basis. Aim to train anywhere from 3-6 times per week, depending on your overall goals.  You don't have to train for hours on end to get better at a sport. Even twenty minutes of target exercise can improve your skills as long as you do this regularly. Most people can improve with at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity.  If you are generally more active, you can do more than the recommended amount of exercise per day. In addition, if you are training for endurance events such as a...

Before you begin reading, you should first take a moment to examine how it looks.  You can learn a lot about the poem's organization before even beginning to read.  For example, you might see that the poem is broken into stanzas, groups of lines, and that there is a space dividing other lines and stanzas.  The poem might have long, short, or even irregular lines that will help you understand its rhythm. You can tell whether the poem takes the form of an established form, such as a sonnet, or whether it's unique. The first step in reading a poem is to sit down and read the entire poem from beginning to end. You may find you need to read it several times and that's okay. To fully understand a poem, it helps to read it in different ways.  Reading aloud will help you understand the sound of a poem, which is important because poetry, by nature, is related to music. You can discover the rhythm of the poem or other special effects of the words, such as rhyming, alliteration, onomatopoeia, or assonance. When reading the poem be aware of punctuation or lack thereof. Punctuation, such as a period, can tell you when to pause.  Other times the poet will break lines off with no punctuation and so you should read on. Sometimes poets want you to briefly pause at the end of a line without punctuation.  If the poem has only a few words on each line, they've done this on purpose.  You'll notice this by looking at the poem before reading it. See a big, fancy word you don't get? Underline it or jot it down to look up so you'll be set to begin understanding what the poem is all about. Throw caution to the wind when looking up words.  Even if you think you understand a word, it may have had a different meaning if you're reading a poem that's centuries old.  Make sure to note any words that have multiple meanings for this reason.

Look at the form of the poem. Read the poem silently to yourself. Read the poem aloud. Pay attention to punctuation when you're reading. Look up words you don't understand.


Before you begin removing fleas form your kitten, you will want to prepare the space you are going to be using.  This will make the task easier, not only for yourself, but for your kitten as well.  You may want to wash your kitten in the sink as it can be easier to control your kitten. You will need a flea comb handy. Have your soap nearby.  Dish soap is fine to use, however, avoid any strongly scented soaps.  Flea and tick soaps will likely be too strong to use on your kitten. Make sure you have a towel to dry your kitten off with. Prepare a cup of warm salt water to drown the fleas you remove. Fill the sink with warm water. Grab some tweezers to pluck the fleas off your kitten. Once you have prepared your space and have collected all the items you will need, you can start to bathe your cat.  The first step is to simply place your kitten in the warm water you have prepared.  Make sure the water is a safe and comfortable temperature for your kitten before putting it in.  Keep your kitten's head dry. Make sure the rest of the fur has been completely soaked. After initially placing your cat in the bath, remove it and start to apply the soap.  Gently rub the soap into its fur and make sure you cover all areas of the body, including the head.  Once you have applied the soap thoroughly, rinse your kitten off completely, expect for its head.  Be careful not to get any soap in your kitten's eyes. Fleas will try to avoid the water and may swarm your kitten's head, as it is still dry.  This is normal and will help you find the fleas when you start removing them. Now that your kitten has had its bath, you can begin looking for and removing fleas from it.  Use both the flea comb and the tweezers to find and eliminate the fleas from your kitten's fur.  Be very thorough as you search and try to remove every last one of them.  Brush your cat with the flea comb to easily remove a great number of fleas. Pluck off the fleas with your tweezers if your flea comb misses any. Put any fleas you find in your cup of warm salt water,...

Before you begin talking with your parents about a tattoo, jot down your motivation for wanting a tattoo and why you think your parents should allow it. Writing ideas down will help you strengthen your argument. Think about and write ideas including:  How long you’ve wanted a tattoo for. If you present the decision as one you’ve wrestled with for months--i.e. not an impulse--your parents will be more likely to take the choice seriously.  Think of reasons you can justify getting a tattoo. Have you been very responsible the last month (or longer)? Has your behavior been decent and respectable? The content of your potential tattoo could be influential on your parents. If you want positive words like “hope,” “love,” “peace,” as a tattoo, your parents will likely be more supportive of your decision. Likewise, your parents will look on the situation more favorably if you want your tattoo to be a positive image that carries personal meaning. However, if you want to tattoo a rude or profane word on your skin, or you want a negative image tattooed, your parents might count that as a strike against you. Your parents might be more willing to allow you to get a tattoo if the placement of it is relatively unseen (yet not in an incredibly private area). Good locations include: on your shoulder, in between your shoulders, on your back, on the back of your lower legs, on your ankle, or even on the side of your abdominal area.
