This variant on the basic chain stitch actually looks like a real chain. Unlike the method above, we won't start with a basic chain stitch here. Instead, simply bring the needle from the back side of the fabric to the front. Next, bring the needle in front of your working thread (the "slack" length of thread that you haven't used yet.) Wrap the working thread one complete turn to form a tight loop around the needle. Stick the needle back through the front of the fabric a short distance from where you brought it through. Then, without pulling the thread tight, bring the point of the needle back through the fabric again a short ways down the line. An easy way to do this is to bring the needle through the fabric at a shallow angle, rather than at a 90-degree angle. This way, you can slip the needle into the fabric and back out again using only the length of the needle, so you won't need to pull on the thread. Start pulling the needle to tighten the thread. Make sure the needle travels over the working thread rather than under it. Finally, pull the thread tight. If you've done everything correctly, at this point you should be left with a stitch that looks like an oval shape or the number 0. Though it may not seem like it at first, all you need to do to continue your cable chain stitch is just repeat the steps above. As you lengthen your stitch, you'll eventually get a string of "0s" joined by short "-" segments that resemble the links in a real chain. To recap, for the rest of the stitch, you'll need to:  Wrap the working thread around the needle Scoop up a short length of fabric by putting the needle through the thread and bringing it back through without tightening the thread. Pull the needle back over the working thread Pull to tighten.

Start by bringing the needle up through the fabric. Wrap the working thread around the needle. "Scoop" up a short length of fabric. Pull the needle over the working thread. Repeat as needed.


This variation can be played with 2 or more players but works best with 3 to 5. If you have 8 or more players, shuffle two decks together.  If you want to use a variant rule, make sure everyone agrees before the game begins. Once the cards have been dealt, the rules cannot be changed. No one should look at any cards yet. The dealer should give herself four cards as well. Place the remainder of the deck in a face down stack to from the draw pile. Flip over the top card face up next to it to form the discard pile. Remember not to look at the cards yet! They should always be kept face down. Don't let anyone else see what they are. Put them back in place when you've memorized them.  If you're playing with young kids or other people who have trouble memorizing cards, see the "4 cards in hand" Variation or try using the 6-card rules instead. See the Scoring Guide for a common system, or use a variation. Write or print it out for people who haven't played before.  The goal of the game is to get the lowest score. Make sure no one is trying to "win" by getting the highest instead! This can be from the discard pile or draw pile (rest of the deck).   Read the rest of these rules or see Strategy to help you make this decision. Hold this card in your hand. If it came from the face down draw pile, don't let anyone else see it. You can replace any card, whether it's one you've peeked at or not.  Pick up the card you want to replace from your grid and put it face up in the discard pile. Place the card you just drew face down to fill the empty space in your grid. You may not move the cards in the grid to different positions. Remember to memorize the card you just put down! This variation tests your memory, so you are not allowed to peek at a card after the beginning of the game. If you don't like the card you just drew, you can discard it face up in the discard pile instead of replacing a card in your grid. You CANNOT do this if the card you drew just came from the discard pile. A pair of the same card in a row or column are...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Shuffle the deck and deal out four cards. Make a draw and discard pile. Each player arranges their cards in a 2x2 grid in front of them. Each player peeks at any two cards in their grid. Teach everyone the scoring system. At the start of your turn, draw a card. Decide whether to replace one of the cards in your grid with the drawn card. Try to make pairs of the same card. When you want to end the game, knock on the table. After the final turn, score your points. Shuffle the cards and play as many rounds as you like. Whoever has the lowest total score wins the game.


This variation creates a stronger glue that can be used in craft projects in place of regular school glue. Mix 3/4 cup water, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoon (29.6 ml) corn syrup, and 1 tsp white vinegar into a saucepan.  Place the pan over low heat. Stir the mixture it until it's blended together well, then remove it from heat. Pour an additional 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup water into the saucepan. Slowly and continuously stir the mixture until everything is well combined.  The mixture will begin to thicken into a glue-like substance after a few minutes of stirring. The mixture will be very hot, so handle it with care. After bringing it to room temperature, spoon the mixture into a plastic or glass container for storage.  Don't pour the mixture into a container while it's still hot, as it could melt the storage container. Do not allow a child to use the paste until it has completely cooled.

Use corn syrup and white vinegar. Add cornstarch and water. Allow the mixture to cool.


This variety of cockroach are considered large cockroaches and can grow up to two inches in size. If you were to lay the cockroach next to an American quarter, the quarter would take up about three-fourths of the cockroach’s body. American cockroaches are unique from other cockroaches in that they have a red-brown color that has an amber look to it. Most other cockroaches are a muddy brown color. Check to see if the roach you are looking at has a reddish glow to it. Also look for two large dark brown spots on the shoulders of these roaches--they are the only part of the bug without that reddish color. Aside from their unique color, American cockroaches are also the shiniest roaches. Their exterior, including their body and wings, has a shiny quality to it that many call glossy but no one would call glamorous. American cockroaches are notorious for only eating moist foods--like human and pet food--making them a personal problem as well as a household problem. If you see a large cockroach eating your food or your dog’s food, it is very likely that it is an American cockroach.

Look at the size of the cockroach. Notice the color of the roach. Look for a glossy exterior. Consider the kind of food the cockroach is munching on.


This version can be played with three or more people, but works best with fewer than six. It requires one standard 52 card deck. Remove the jokers from the deck. It's okay if it's not exact, but the players' hands shouldn't differ by more than one card. Players may look at their hands, but must keep them private. The cards should be kept visible at all times. This player must place a single card in the middle of the circle, face down. He/she should announce the rank of the card, whether it's a queen, or a 2, etc. If he/she chooses, he/she can play a card that doesn't match the rank announced. Play goes clockwise. The next player has two choices. He/she can pass the turn without playing a card, or play a single card facedown on the pile. By playing a card, he/she is claiming that it is of the same rank as the first card, but it may or may not be.  Passing is the safer option if a player doesn't have any cards that match the round's rank, but bluffing will get rid of his/her cards faster. You can bluff even if you have a card of the round's rank. This could be a risky but effective strategy if, for instance, you have multiple cards of the round's rank. The other players will have no reason to suspect you don't, especially early in the round, and they will be less likely to call bluff. You can then on later turns use the actual cards that match the rank, which players will be more likely to incorrectly call bluff on. If at any point in the game a player thinks another is bluffing, he/she can say "Bluff!" right after the card is set down. The challenged player now turns over the challenged card. If it is the wrong card, the player who bluffed must take all the cards from the pile. However, if he/she didn't bluff, the challenger must take all of the cards from the pile. The round continues until either all players pass, thereby stating that there are no more cards of that rank left, or someone's bluff is called.  If everyone passes, the pile is discarded without revealing the cards, and the player who passed last...

This version includes dried herbs and flowers directly in the bath bombs for a pretty, natural appearance. After you have sprayed the mixture, it starts to harden, so you need to be quick. Pick up little handfuls of the bath bomb mixture and compress it down into large dome molds or silicone ice cube tray holes. Layer the mixture on top of the last layer. Push down hard to get the best results. The next day, they should be dry. When they are, you can push out your bath bombs and use them! Use within several months.

This version of the peanut butter smoothie is a little less healthy, but it makes a great treat or dessert and still has plenty of protein. Unplug the blender, if necessary, then add your ingredients to it. This will prevent you from accidentally starting the blender while adding things to it, which could send food flying. Once you're finished adding ingredients, snap the lid into place firmly and plug in the blender. Packing ingredients too tightly in your blender can sometimes prevent the blades from turning. Avoid over packing your blender. until it is smooth. While your blender may have other settings, the "Blend" setting will be sufficient for your smoothie. Press and hold the button for short intervals until the mixture is smooth and no chunks of ingredients remain. Pour the smoothie into a cup and enjoy. Any extra smoothie left over can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. Try to leave as little air in the container with your smoothie as possible. Air will cause nutrients in your smoothie to break down. If properly stored and refrigerated, your leftover smoothie should last from 12 hours to a day.

This version was made to be played with two people. It requires one standard 52 card deck. Remove the jokers from the deck. Both players should have 25 cards. Players may look at their hands, but must keep them private. The cards should be kept visible at all times. This player must place a single card in the middle of the circle, face down. He/she should announce the rank of the card, whether it's a queen, or a 2, etc. If he/she chooses, he/she can play a card that doesn't match the rank announced. Play goes clockwise. The next player has two choices. He/she can pass the turn without playing a card, or play a single card facedown on the pile. By playing a card, he/she is claiming that it is of the same rank as the first card, but it may or may not be.  Passing is the safer option if a player doesn't have any cards that match the round's rank, but bluffing will get rid of his/her cards faster. Even if you have a card that matches the round's rank, you can bluff, and play a different card. This can be an effective strategy because the other player will have no reason to believe you don't have a card that matches the rank if s/he doesn't have all the cards of that rank in their hand. Then you can go on to play more of your cards by later using cards of the actual rank. If at any point in the game a player thinks another is bluffing, he/she can say "Bluff!" right after the card is set down. The challenged player now turns over the challenged card. If it is the wrong card, the player who bluffed must take all the cards from the pile. However, if he/she didn't bluff, the challenger must take all of the cards from the pile Any time the opposing player has just played a card, a player may say "Force!" This challenges the player to produce another card from his/her hand that matches the rank of the round. If the player is unable to, he/she must pick up the pile.

This way when you do learn the languages alphabet you will already know some pretty basic words. For example: Hello, Goodbye, How are you?, I am good, What is your name?, My name is____, and so on. It will make it significantly easier for you and you will be able to read and pronounce words, which will help you memorize them with greater ease. Plus, it is better for you to be sounding the words out rather than looking at the romanization for the words. Mastering basic vocabulary is probably one of the most important things you can do when learning a new language. Even if you can't understand whole sentences, the ability to pick out keywords can help you to understand the general meaning of a speech or text.  Focus on 100 most common words. Picking out the most common 100 words in a given language is a clever way to start. From there, you can work your way up to the most common 1000 words. It is estimated that learning the 1000 most common words in a language will allow you to understand 70% of any text. Focus on the vocabulary that is most relevant to you -- learn business vocabulary if you're learning a language for business, don't waste time learning the words for different species of fish (which you might want to do if you're traveling to go scuba diving!) You should also learn words and vocabulary that pertain specifically to you, so you're able to talk about your life and your background to people you meet. Start off by learning to count to ten, because it is usually the easiest thing to memorize at first. Each day learn a new set of ten numbers, keep going each day until you are satisfied with how high you can count. If you are up for a challenge, memorize all the numbers up to one hundred in one day. The reason why most people can't remember most of the language they spent years learning in school is that school curricula tend to focus a huge amount of time on learning grammar and very little time on speech. This is pretty much backwards -- if you want to learn a language quickly, you should learn how...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Learn a few greeting words in the language before you learn the alphabet. Learn the alphabet of the language you are learning, if necessary. Learn vocabulary. Learn to count in the new language. Don't worry too much about grammar. Work on pronunciation. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.


This way, they will start producing fruit for you quickly. If you start with younger plants, it will take a few years for them to develop fruit. Plant the bushes in early spring. The fruit will ripen toward the end of summer. Pat the blueberry plants with the heel of your wrist to loosen the roots. Do this all around the outside of the container and then turn it sideways and slide the plant out by tapping the bottom of the pot. Catch the plant with your hand. Do not grab the plant by the stem as this can dislodge the roots and damage the plant. It should be shallow enough that the top of the root base is 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) above ground (for plants about 2 years old, 20 inches deep and 18 inches wide). You can use a simple hand trowel to dig the holes. Make the holes between 2-1/2 and 6 feet apart. If you space the holes closer together, you will end up with continuous rows, but if you space the holes further apart, you will end up with individual bushes. Pat soil up around the top of the plant to cover any exposed roots with 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of soil. Then, add 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) of mulch to the planting side. This helps to keep the ground moist, prevent weeds, and enrich the soil.  Bark mulch, sawdust, and grass clippings are all good choices for mulch for blueberries. Replenish the mulch every couple of years. Always water the area thoroughly after planting. If you do not want to use grown blueberry plants, you can grow blueberries from seed. Sow seed in a flat, 3-inch deep box filled with finely ground moist sphagnum moss. Keep the moss moist in a warm room between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit and covered with a sheet of newspaper.  The seed should germinate into seedlings within one month. Place the seedlings in direct sunlight and continue growing them in the moss until they are about 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) tall. You can then transfer the seedlings to a larger pot or to your garden. Water the seedlings well and maintain them in a sunny location. After two to three weeks,...

This way, you know what you're going to be wearing and you can easily match it with your hairstyle and makeup. It also saves some extra time for you to focus more on your appearance! Avoid neon colors on your face, as it will give you an awkward appearance. Stick with calm, neutral colors.    Your hairstyle will normally depend on your outfit and how you're planning to dress. (Ex: If you're dressing professionally, a messy bun probably will not do.) Although it is important to have a pleasant appearance, it is even more important to have some breakfast and get to school on time! If you're running late, spend less time on your makeup and more on your hair; divide your time equally. Or, to make things faster, go without makeup or let your hair down for the day!

Have your outfit laid out on your chair the night before school. Have a basic knowledge of how to correctly apply makeup without making a mess on your face. Know what hairstyles will match with your outfit and what hairstyles will not. Have a schedule and stick with it, whether you're finished with your appearance or not.


This way, you’ll be able to systematically approach getting over your fear, step by step. For example, some of the steps you could write down include:  Arriving at a new location to see that you must either ride an elevator or take the stairs. Pressing the “up” or “down” button and waiting for the elevator to arrive. Seeing how crowded the elevator is. Stepping into the elevator. Selecting your floor. Watching the door close and open. ” Now that you have broken down your approach to riding elevators into steps, you can rearrange the list in order of what frightens you the least to what frightens you the most. The goal is to start with a step that may make you slightly uncomfortable but that doesn’t intimidate you so that you can gradually expose yourself to your fear. For example, pressing the “up” or “down” button may not frighten you as much as waiting inside the elevator until you reach your floor, so put these steps in the appropriate order. Progress from step to step gradually. When the step is relatively simple, like pressing the button for which floor you want to go to, repeat it often until you feel less anxious. If the step is longer, like waiting inside the elevator, stay in the situation long enough that your anxiety decreases.  If you expose yourself to a situation for longer, you’ll feel less anxious the next time you face the challenge. The only thing not to do is to avoid your fear—avoidance will only reinforce the notion that you should be afraid of elevators.  Stop if you feel overwhelmed or anxious. This is a sign that you should progress more slowly. Practice each step until you feel sufficiently comfortable with it to move on to the next. If you can, practice at a time when the elevator does not get a lot of use. It’s best to use an empty elevator so that you feel less anxious and don’t disrupt other people’s rides. Depending on what aspect of riding in an elevator scares you, you can plan ways to put your mind at ease ahead of time.  If your fear is being enclosed in a small space with...

This whole setup allows you to control how much water flows into the growbed and so it's an important addition. The ball-valve bypass also allows you to divert some water back to the fish tank, providing additional aeration and water movement into the tank. This improves the health of the fish. In the picture below you can see the small 600 lph (litres per hour) pump with a small piece of 13mm pipe coming from it. This then has a T-Bar attached and then the 13mm pipe continues up to the 90-degree elbow at the top, which empties the water into the growbed. Coming off the second part of the T-Bar is a simple ball-valve that controls the flow of water that is diverted back into the fish tank.

This will accentuate your jawline. It will also make your head look more prominent compared to your body, which draws attention to your great smize.  While you're moving your face, make sure that your shoulders are still staying relaxed and natural. Tilting the head down makes your eyes look bigger. This is especially important when you want people to see your cute smize.  Make sure not to over-do it on the tilting, though. You don't want to give yourself a double-chin! It's hard to really smile with your eyes without moving your lips, so give yourself a break and let your lips smile a little bit. The trick is to just not go for a full teeth-baring grin. Your mouth will have an alluring, Mona Lisa look, and your friendly, crinkling eyes will pull the whole thing together. Avoid pouting. While this might look good on a few supermodels, it makes most people look grumpy. You've practiced all the various aspects of the smize, so now you're ready to put it all together for full effect. Remember to relax your shoulders, pick a focal point, tilt your chin down, and think happy thoughts. Aim for a relaxed, playful look. If you tap into some genuinely happy moment,  it will shine through in your photos. You'll look confident, and at ease with yourself.

This will accommodate the length of the bread and will keep any dropped topping from getting on the table (so you can just stick them back on the sub). Lay your bread down on the paper and slice it in half lengthwise so that it opens up like a mouth (to gobble up all of those tasty ingredients). Once you have opened up your bread, flatten it down so that it stays open. Place your slices of meat on the half of the bread that has the top. The amount of meat you put on is up to you (since you’re making it at home and there’s no limit to how much you can put on!). Spread the meat out so that it covers the top. At Subway, their cheese is cut into triangles. If you are going for really authentic, then cut your cheese into triangles. Whether you do this or not, lay the cheese out over the meat slices. If you did cut them into triangles, tessellate the cheese. This means to alternate the slices so that they don’t overlap. If you like your cheese melted, turn on your oven and place your sandwich on a baking sheet. Stick it in the broiler or toaster oven for a couple of minutes (until the cheese melts and the bread starts to toast). If you prefer your sandwiches less toasty, skip this step. Make sure they are spread out. Again, since you are making your sandwich at home, there is no particular order you have to put your veggies on your sandwich in (plus everyone wants different things on their sub). In general, you might consider starting lettuce on first and then working your way through the larger vegetables and on to the olives/pickles/smaller things you might want.. Again, the amount of sauce you put on your sandwich depends on your personal preference. Don’t hopelessly drown your sandwich though or your might end up with some really soggy bread. Put your sauce on top of the meat and cheese side and close that baby on up. It’s time to eat. You might want to consider cutting your sandwich in half to make it more manageable.

This will add to the fun of the party. Let your kid help you decide or surprise them based on their interests. You could do a sports theme or a certain color scheme, you could incorporate their favorite superhero or tv show. The possibilities are endless! Go to a local party store and see what options they have. A lot of times, you can find all of the decor you need that goes with your theme. They might have table cloths, plates, cups, and even goodies that will set a very fun tone for the party. It is important to protect the table from spills or other incidents. You could use a tablecloth that goes with the theme of their party. The kids will love it and it will make your life much easier. Consider using a plain sheet of paper as a table covering. Then place crayons on the table so that the kids can draw and enjoy themselves as they wait for food. You probably don’t want to give your best china to a five year old! If it is a casual birthday party, paper and plastic utensils are perfectly acceptable. If it is a more formal party such as a holiday party that requires a kids’ table, try to tie in the theme of the adult table so that they feel included. You could use the same napkins as the adult table and perhaps even the same tablecloth. That way it will every bit as important as the adult table. This also depends on the age of the kids and the style of the party. Use your judgment to know what they can handle. For young children, use plastic cups instead of glasses and don’t set knives out. Especially if it is a kid’s birthday party, try to make it special. Include a noise maker or funny hats or a small game. Even a little pouch of treats for each child will put a big smile on their face. It is a party, after all.

This will allow the ashes time to cool down. Never try to remove the ashes when the fire is still going. To give the ashes more time to cool down, leave them in the fireplace overnight. It's OK to leave the ashes unattended while you sleep, as long as the fire is completely out (there are no flames or red embers). Don't worry about getting out any leftover wood; you just want to clear out the gray and black ash on the bottom of the fireplace. Remember that some embers may still be hot, even after the fire has been out for a while. Be careful when you're removing the ashes. Never dump ash into a paper, cardboard, or plastic container. Hot embers in the ash could burn through the container and start a fire. Keep the can away from combustible materials.

Wait several hours after the fire's been put out to remove the ashes. Use a metal shovel to scoop up the ashes. Dump the ash into a metal can. Take the can filled with ash outside to a safe area.


This will allow the ducks proper time for mating and result in a high fertility in the eggs. It also gives the ducks and drakes time to settle down into mating. Collect eggs daily and store them in a cool, not cold, location while turning them once a day to prevent the membrane from sticking to the shell. They can be stored for 7-10 days before incubation. It is better to incubate them all at the same time so that they will all be at the same stage. Follow the instructions for your incubator (if you do not have them you might be able to find them online). Set your incubator to 99.5 degrees with a humidity of 86% to start out.  Run the incubator for a day or two before placing the eggs inside. This helps to check that it is keeping an even temperature. Humidity can usually be maintained by filling the water pans on the incubator and following the instructions. You can also spray the eggs with water every time you turn them. Muscovy ducks are very good brooders and mothers and will not necessarily need their eggs incubated. This also makes them easier to manage and breed. Eggs need to be turned. Some incubators will turn them automatically but if not then turn them an odd number of times per day. Turning is most critical during the first week of incubation. Turn them as often as you can. Use the candling technique to check if your eggs are fertile and remove any non-fertile eggs. Make the room dark and get a small flashlight. Hold it up to the egg and wrap your hand around the meeting place so that no light shines into your eyes. If you see clear, distinct veins then the egg is probably alive. Repeat candling once per week and remove any eggs that are not alive. Different breeds take different times to incubate. Mallards will take about 26.5-27 days, Runners will take 28.5 days,  and Muscovies will take longer, around 35 days. All other breeds will take around 28 days. The hatching process can take 3-5 days or even a bit longer and the ducklings may stay in the shell for an extra day or two to absorb the yolk...

Mate ducks for two weeks before collecting eggs for hatching. Collect the eggs daily to ensure they are as clean as possible. Set up an incubator for the fertilized eggs. Turn the eggs at least three times per day. Check for fertility after one week. Incubate for around 28 days. Do not interfere in the hatching process. Keep the ducklings in the incubator for twelve hours after hatching. Move the ducklings to a brooder. Leave the ducklings alone as much as possible for the first three days. Provide food and water. Raise your ducks for their intended use.


This will allow the kayak to balance evenly. Make sure there is a wall that it can lean against. It is best to store a kayak somewhere indoors. This will protect it from the elements outside. A garage, basement, or shed are great places to store a kayak. Tilt the kayak so that it is horizontal and rest it against a wall with its cockpit facing out. It should be resting on its side, not flat. It will rest against the wall at an angle. The side of a kayak is one of the strongest parts, so it will not dent easily. But over an entire season, depending on what your kayak is made of (for example, plastic dents easily), it could begin to dent. To avoid this, flip it onto its other side once a month. Instead of resting it horizontally, turn it vertically and rest it against a wall with its cockpit facing out. To keep it in place while standing up, it should be at a slight angle. You should also store it so that its stern is touching the ground and its bow is up towards the ceiling.  To protect your kayak and help it to stay in place, put some padding underneath it. You could place a few towels or cushions inside a small crate and place the end of the kayak inside. To keep your kayak in place, you can install a couple of support pegs on the outer edge of each side of the top of the kayak. For a short amount of time, it will be ok, but storing it flat, whether face-up or face-down, puts significant stress on the kayak. Because of this, it is best to avoid storing it flat on the ground whenever possible. This includes hanging the kayak from the ceiling. Hoists can conveniently get kayaks out of the way, but they are not very secure, and since the kayak has to lay flat, significant stress is placed on the kayak. Therefore, it is better to mount it on a wall.

Find a level surface. Store the kayak horizontally on its side. Store the kayak vertically. Avoid storing the kayak flat.


This will allow the rash to heal. If the ring causes a rash on that finger, too, stop wearing the ring. Rashes can sometimes be caused by soap or water getting trapped under the ring. Take off your rings whenever you  swim, shower, bathe, or wash your hands. Dry your hands completely before you put the rings back on. Use a mild soap when you wash your hands. Dove, Olay, and Cetaphil are all good choices. Lotion may reduce the friction under your ring. Moisturize your hands after you wash your hands to help avoid irritation. A hypoallergenic cream is the best choice. In some cases, dirt and sweat on the ring can irritate your skin, causing a rash. You can take your ring to a jeweler for a professional cleaning, or you can buy a jewelry cleaning solution. Dilute the solution with water according to the package's instructions, and soak your ring for up to 40 minutes. Use a toothbrush to gently scrub the stone.

Place the ring on a different finger. Remove all rings before getting your hands wet. Apply hand lotion daily. Clean your ring.


This will allow them to open with ease. Warmer scallops are very difficult to open. You could also store your scallops in the refrigerator. Turn the specimen so that the darkest side of the shelled scallop is facing towards you. The hinge of the shell should be pointed away from you. The darker side is the top of the shell and will not have the scallop attached to it. This will allow you to remove the darker half of the shell without discarding the scallop. Take a paring knife or spoon and insert it between the top and bottom halves of the shell. This will allow you to pry it open. Don’t insert the knife too deeply into the shell or you might damage the scallop. Depending on the size of the shell and scallop, you could insert the knife about an inch (about 2.5cm) into the shell without cutting the scallop. Apply pressure to the knife or spoon to slowly open the shell. Find where the scallop's muscle meets the top half of the shell and cut through it. When you cut through this muscle, you will disengage the top half of the shell from the bottom half, allowing the shell to open. Throw the top half of the shell (the darker half) away once you have cut away the attachment. You now only need the bottom half, which will be holding the scallop. To remove the top half, simply pull it upwards and break it apart from the lower half at its hinge.

Store your scallops on ice. Hold the scallop with the darker side facing up. Insert a sharp object between the halves of the shell. Pry the shell open. Discard the top half of the shell.


This will allow you to actually hang the finished wind chime from a hook. Hold the wind chime up by the second key ring; the bottle will slide down the chain and stop at the first key ring.  The first key ring will be either somewhere inside the neck or just below it. If you are using a nylon cord, simply tie the other end to another key ring or metal ring.

Thread another split key ring onto the top of the chain.


This will allow you to determine what area of the ECG represents one heart beat. From the length of a heart beat on the ECG trace, you will be able to calculate the heart rate. A normal heart beat contains a P wave, a QRS complex, and an ST segment. The one you will want to pay particular attention to is the QRS complex, as this is the easiest one to use to calculate heart rate.  The P wave is a small semi-circular shape located right before the tall QRS complex. It represents the electrical activity of the atria ("atrial depolarization"), which are the two small chambers located at the top of the heart. The QRS complex is the tallest most visible aspect of the ECG trace. It is usually pointy, like a tall, thin triangle and very easy to recognize. It represents the electrical activity of the ventricles ("ventricular depolarization"), which are the two large chambers located at the bottom of the heart that forcefully pump blood throughout the body. The ST segment directly follows the tall QRS complex. It is actually the flat area prior to the next semi-circular shape on the ECG (which is the T wave). The importance of this flat segment (the ST segment), located right after the QRS complex, is that it provides important information to physicians about things such as potential heart attacks. The QRS complex is normally the tallest part of the pattern that repeats on the ECG. It is a tall and skinny spike (for a person with normal heart function) that occurs repeatedly at the same rate across the ECG trace. Every time one QRS complex occurs, it is an indication that one heart beat has taken place. Therefore, you can use the space between QRS complexes on the ECG to calculate the heart rate. The next step is to determine the number of large squares on the ECG trace separating one QRS complex from the next QRS complex. The ECG normally has both small squares and large squares. Be sure you are using the large squares as your reference point. Go from the peak of one QRS complex to the peak of the following QRS...

Be aware of how a normal "wave form" looks on an ECG trace. Identify the QRS complex. Count the space between QRS complexes. Divide the number 300 by your answer above.

This will allow you to have access to the interior of the deadbolt lock. A couple of quick turns using your Allen wrench (or hex key — they're the same thing) should be able to loosen the deadbolt mechanism from the inside. Remove the inside cylinder and outside cylinder. If your deadbolt lock has decorative caps over the screws, use a punch and hammer to knock the caps off center and then grab them with pliers. Then use the Allen wrench to unscrew the mountings. This is not the best option, and it requires a strong drill bit, but it will help remove a deadbolt.  From the outside, drill into the cylinder in the middle of the deadbolt lock where the tumblers are found. Remove the tumblers.  Alternately, drill on both sides of the deadbolt, halfway between the top and bottom. Drill through on both sides until the exterior covering comes out. Insert a screwdriver into the latch and turn the knob lock. Take the old deadbolt out and clean up any remaining debris or dust from the deadbolt recess.

Disassemble the deadbolt lock by unscrewing the two exterior screws. Use an Allen wrench to remove the interior screws from the deadbolt. If you cannot remove the screws using an Allen wrench, you may want to try to drill into the deadbolt to remove it. Undo the Phillips head screws on the side of the door to remove the deadbolt.


This will allow you to introduce yourself or your organization, and provide you with the opportunity to explain your reason for the interview. For example, if you want to interview an author for your book blog, contact the author and explain that you would like to feature their interview on your book blog. Explain to your subject how you came across their name and contact information, especially if you are making the initial connection by telephone. This can help your subject feel more at ease with you and with the idea of an interview. For example, if your subject has recently released an ebook about Internet marketing, explain that the interview questions will focus strictly on their new ebook. If the subject seems hesitant about doing an email interview, provide the subject with positive information that will encourage their participation. For example, explain that you want to publish the interview on your website to help bring the subject additional publicity. For example, when interviewing a subject about their new product, inform them that you plan on asking 10 questions related to that particular product. This can often ensure that your subject completes the email interview on time, especially if you under a strict deadline yourself.

This will allow you to recognize them when you hear them within words. Use flashcards or ask a tutor to help you connect letters to their sounds. Practice making those connections in your mind. This will help you recognize the appropriate letters when you sound out words.   Ask a family member or friend to help you learn the letter sounds. As an alternative you can watch videos online that show you how to say each letter. Here’s one to get you started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyKdUpJQBTY It helps to say the word more than once.  Stretch out the word to help you identify each sound in it. If you say the word too quickly, you may miss a letter sound.   If the word has more than one syllable, separate them mentally or in writing. Pronounce each syllable individually. For example, the word "probably" is very easy to misspell if you pronounce it  "probly." Saying it slowly -- "prob-ab-ly" -- can help you hear the sounds in each syllable. It's helpful to draw an underline on your paper for each sound that you hear. Don't worry about what the word is supposed to look like. Just focus on the sounds you hear when you say the word. Then think about which letter or letters might make each sound.  It helps to count out the number of sounds in the word. For example, let's say you want to spell the word "tiger." You might hear four sounds: t-i-g-er. Write out the letter sounds you hear for each sound in the word. Then put the sounds together to form the word. Check your work by sounding out the word again while you look at your spelling, letter by letter.  For a harder word you may need to refer to the spelling rules instead of just sounding the word out.

Learn the letters and sounds of the alphabet. Identify the sounds as you slowly say a word you want to spell. Split up each letter sound in the word to help you hear them. Spell out each sound.


This will always be the boldest move because it’s direct, straightforward, and lacks the presence of games. The simplest thing to say is: “Hi, I’m Ashley, what’s your name?”  If in-person introductions intimidate you, create an indirect approach to introducing yourself. Add him on Facebook or Instagram. Message him directly by giving your name and telling him where he might know you from (school or work). Tell him you have noticed him from afar and have been dying to talk to him and let him know your name. Direct message him on Twitter introducing yourself as his classmate or coworker Ashley. Use your shyness to your advantage by saying that he makes you so shy in person that Twitter messaging became the next best thing to hello. Get his number from a mutual friend. This one is a little risky because a lot of people do not like to have their numbers handed out if it is not from them directly, but if you make up a good excuse, you might be able to make this move work in your favor. Apologize for having his number and tell him that you missed notes in class, heard he would have them, and really need it to study for an upcoming test. This looks more proactive, less crazy, so if you’re going to text him, make sure you have a reason and take the conversation from there. Light topics will always be easier to expound upon into deeper topics later. Ask about the weather or ask if he went to the school’s last game. Ask him how he’s doing today or what he’s up to.   ”What kind of day are you having?” ”What are you studying?” ”Where do you work?” ”What are you doing later?” Ask questions that are open-ended and lead to him describing his likes and dislikes, his passions, and his interests. Listen to his responses more than you speak.   ”What kind of movies do you like? What are your favorites?” ”What do you like to read in your spare time?” ”What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever been?” ”Where do you plan to travel to this year?” ”What’s one thing that you’re really, really good at?” Men like praise and...

This will assure your squash is free of any contaminants before you consume it. The washing process is simple. Run your squash under tap water, making sure to clean off all sides. Do not use any kind of soap to wash your squash. You should cut about 1/4 of an inch from either end of the squash. Use a sharp knife to get a good, clean cut. Hold the squash in your hand to keep it steady as you cut. Peeling a squash can be difficult, as a squash's skin is so thick. Microwaving the squash can help soften the skin, making the peeling process easier later.  Take a fork and poke holes along the surface of the squash. Place the squash in the microwave, on a microwave safe plate. Microwave the squash for three and a half minutes. If the squash's skin still feels thick, you can microwave it for another 30 seconds.

This will be a little sweeter, and often benefits from a little extra vermouth. While vodka martini's are much more common these days, there is no reason to stay tied to trends without trying out both drinks for yourself. There are bartenders who swear by gin up and down the coast in place or vodka, and those who ardently defend vodka. The thing is-- they're both right, so try both! A shaken martini actually "bruises" the vodka or gin, chilling it for longer, mixing in the olive juice, and taking some of the flavor of alcohol out. But for a drink with a bit more "umph" in it, got for the stirred martin, James Bond be damned. Sour, herbal vermouth is, in some circles, essential for any martini. But a growing legion of bartenders is swearing off vermouth, believing it is a bit too strong of a flavor that detracts from the simple, classic flavors in the drink.  You can also cut the vermouth in half -- adding just a splash to get a little kick without overpowering the drink. You might add a touch more olive juice in place of the vermouth. The higher quality the olives, the better the martini. But even cheaper olives will be good if you pay attention to how much brine you're adding. Everyone's perfect ratio is different, so feel free to play around until you find yours.

Try it out a dirty gin martini. Go for a stirred martini, not shaken,  for a little more alcoholic bite. Consider skipping the vermouth. Play around with the ratios of brine and booze to get your perfect martini.


This will be just as important for many land turtle species as the indoor enclosure. Make sure yours is large and safe. Turtles need to be protected from predators and from escape. Your enclosure should be tall enough they cannot escape over it, and have barriers under the dirt so they can’t burrow under. A roof for the enclosure is also typically a necessity. Do not just use the dirt you have in your backyard -- it’s not appropriate for land turtles. Be advised that grass, particularly wet grass, is also bad for land turtles. It can cause painful abrasions. Since your turtle will be spending a lot of time outdoors, planting food for them makes a lot of sense. You won’t have to look for food for them, and they can choose to eat when they want to. Don’t just have a flat and boring outdoor enclosure. Create little hills they can climb, different areas to explore, and a variety of environments within the enclosure.

Create the outdoor enclosure for your turtle. Make sure you use substrate as the base of the enclosure. Include plants that the land turtles like to eat. Create places for them to hide and explore -- rocks, wood, etc.


This will be located on the back of the card. Flip the credit card over so you’re looking at the reverse side, and look for the light gray or white bar. Some cards may have an adhesive sticker over the signature bar. If yours does, remove the sticker before signing. Since the back of the credit card is made of plastic, it won’t absorb ink as easily as a piece of paper would. A felt-tipped pen or a Sharpie pen will leave a permanent signature, and you won’t risk smearing ink across the back of your card.  Some people prefer to sign the back of their credit cards with a fine-tip marker. These are also unlikely to bleed ink on the card. Do not use an uncommon color of ink, such as red or green. Also do not sign using a ballpoint pen. Ballpoint pens may scratch up your card or leave only a faint signature on the plastic. Consistency and clarity are key when signing the back of your credit card. Your signature here should look like your signature on any other document.  It’s fine if your signature is sloppy or hard to read, as long as it looks like that whenever you sign your name. If a store clerk suspects credit card fraud, their first step will be to compare the signature on the back of your card with your signature on the receipt. Don’t put the credit card away immediately after you sign the back. If you put the card away too soon, the ink may smear and your signature will become unintelligible. Depending on the ink you use, the signature may take up to 30 minutes to dry.

Find the signature bar. Sign using a felt-tipped pen. Sign your name as you normally do. Let the ink dry.


This will be much cheaper than booking a dozen one-way flights. The two largest airline alliances are Star Alliance and Oneworld. The Star Alliance is the bigger alliance.  Star Alliance is based on how many miles you travel and they offer passes in 29,000, 34,000 or 39,000 miles increments. To put that in context, 29,000 miles (47,000 km) you will roughly get 3 continents (outside of the United States), 34,000 miles (55,000 km) will get you 4 continents and 39,000 will get you 5 or 6 continents. The more miles you do, the more destinations you can see and vice versa. Each pass allows up to 15 stopovers (a stopover is considered 24 hours in one destination) and you can get the ticket in first, business, or economy class. Star Alliance also requires passengers to start and end in the same country, though not necessarily in the same city. (There are also passes which are limited to geographic regions in the world.)  Oneworld offers two different pass options: one that is segment based and the other that is mileage based. Global Explorer is Oneworld’s more conventional, mileage-based ticket. There are three levels – 26,000, 29,000 and 39,000 miles in economy class, as well as a 34,000 in business and first class.  Just like the Star Alliance mileage-based RTWs, all miles are counted, including overland segments. Air travel is generally the most expensive way to travel. Use flight comparison websites like Travelsupermarket, Skyscanner and Kayak or flight brokers such as Travelocity, Expedia and Opodo. Pay close attention to restrictions. Many "Around-the-World" tickets mandate that you must always be travelling in the same direction, eg. L.A. to London to Moscow. You could not go L.A. to Paris to London. This takes significantly more preparation. If you have good credit, aren't afraid to use credit cards and have some savings, you can score thousands and thousands of miles to pay for your airfare. There are tons of offers out there--most banks have some version of a credit card that has partnered up with an...

This will be necessary in finding someone who will help you replace the key. In most cars, the VIN is located on the driver’s side dashboard and is visible through the window, but it may also be located on a rear wheel well or the front of the engine block, in the trunk or door jam, or on the frame of the car between the carburetor and windshield washer.  If you’re not sure where your VIN is on your vehicle you can also look up the number on your car insurance information. It should be in the top left hand corner of each page. A VIN is a 17-digit letter/number. The letters I, O and Q are not in VIN numbers to avoid confusion with numbers 1 and 0. This only works after 1981. Before 1954 there were no VIN numbers. Regardless of which option you pursue to get a new set of car keys you're going to need to find out this information. This information will let you know the specific kind of key that you need to open your vehicle. Remember, keys are supposed to be unique! This should be your first option. They generally will give you the best deal on a new key, about half as much as it would cost to get a new key from your manufacturer or dealer. Normally they don’t charge to visit the car either. They’ll open your car and then proceed to make you a new key. While hardware stores aren’t generally equipped to create new car keys (as opposed to simply copying them), locksmiths usually have more sophisticated machinery. The older your vehicle, the better the odds that a locksmith will be able to help you with a replacement key.  If you lost a key fob, a good locksmith may be able to help you make a new one – depending on how sophisticated the key was. Additionally, they should be able to help you reprogram the replacement key, though your manual may also have instructions on how to do that. Be sure to bring any other key fobs associated with that vehicle with you, as they sometimes won’t work until the new key is programmed. Some cars require specialized equipment to program keys that locksmiths and dealers have. After...

This will be the base of your number line. You can draw this in pen or marker, if you want to use your number line over and over again. This will make it look like a train track. You can also make these in pen so you can use the number line for more than one problem. Start with zero above the first hashmark on the left.  At each hashmark, write the next number up. For example, above the hash mark next to zero, write 1. You can write these in pen as well, so you can re-use the number line over and over again. Remember, doing math problems with numbers over 20 will make this method too hard. Now your number line should read from 0 to 20, going from left to right.

This will be the basic outline of your anime character’s head. The proportions don’t have to be exact, but make the oval narrower at the bottom since that will be the chin. Once you’ve drawn the oval, draw a horizontal line through the center of it. Then, draw a vertical line through the center of it that intersects with the horizontal line. Later, you'll use these lines as guides to draw the facial features. If you want your character to have a wider face, widen the bottom of the oval so it’s just slightly narrower than the top. Or, if you want your character to have a slender face, make the bottom of the oval even narrower than the top. There's no single head shape used for all anime characters, so you can experiment until you find one you like. underneath the horizontal line. Anime eyes are big and exaggerated, and they usually take up about 1/4 to 1/5 of the height of the face. To draw one, start by drawing a thick upper lash line just underneath the horizontal line you drew and on one side of the vertical line. Then, draw a semicircle coming down off the upper lash line, and draw a black pupil in the center of it. Next, draw a narrow, horizontal line underneath the circle for the lower lash line. Finally, shade in the circle around the pupil, leaving some white space so it looks like light is reflecting off of your character’s eyes. Do the same thing on the other side of the vertical line to make the other eye. Draw a long, downward curving line for each eyebrow. Make them slightly longer than the upper lash line you drew for the eyes. Then, thicken the ends of the brows that are at the center of the face. If you’re drawing a feminine anime character, make the eyebrows fairly thin. For a masculine character, thicken the eyebrows so they’re more prominent on the face. Anime noses are subtle, and they’re usually only defined when you’re looking at a character from the side. To draw your character’s nose, draw a short, simple vertical line along the center of the face at the halfway point between the...

This will be the flavor of your popsicle. You can choose lemonade, grape juice, Kool-Aid, or whatever else tickles your fancy. Fill up each popsicle mold so it is almost full. If you don't have molds, you can use paper cups or ice cube trays. If you're using an ice cube tray, you can create handles out of toothpicks. Put plastic wrap over the tray, and place two toothpicks into each cup. The toothpicks should have a small amount of space between them. This may take a few hours. Once the popsicles have all completely solidified, remove the tray from the freezer. Do not tug on the toothpicks or stick, but instead press from the bottom of the cup to remove the popsicle. What ever remainders you have, you can put back in the freezer until next time.

Choose the type of soda or drink you want to use. Carefully pour the drink into molds. Let the popsicles freeze completely. Take out the tray when the popsicles are hard. Serve and enjoy.


This will be the front of the computer tower. Draw it on the left or right side of the monitor, and make it slightly taller than the monitor is. To make the trapezoid, start by drawing a vertical line to the side of the rectangle that’s slightly shorter than the side. Then, connect the top ends of the vertical line and the side with a straight line. Do the same thing for the bottom ends. When you’re finished, the outline of the computer tower will look three-dimensional. If you’re drawing the computer tower on the right side of the monitor, draw the trapezoid on the left side of the tower. If it’s on the left side of the monitor, draw the trapezoid on the right side of the tower. These will be where the buttons on the computer tower go. Place one near the top of the tower and one near the middle. The size of each rectangle doesn’t need to be precise, but make each one about 1/10th the height of the tower. To draw the buttons, sketch evenly spaced circles down the length of each vertical rectangle. Add 1-3 circles per rectangle. You can also draw a power button on the front of the tower. Just draw a small circle on the lower half of the tower, then draw another circle around it.

Draw a tall, vertical rectangle. Sketch a trapezoid on the side of the rectangle. Draw 2 horizontal rectangles inside the vertical rectangle. Add buttons to the front of the tower. Finished.


This will be the length of your gloves. If you want shorter gloves, cast on fewer stitches. If you want longer gloves, cast on more stitches. Be sure to leave a long tail.  Number 4 yarn is also known as worsted weight yarn. You can use a different type of yarn, but you will need to get matching knitting needles. In most cases, this will be about 48 rows. Make sure that you knit every row. This will give you a stretchy, purl pattern on both sides of your work. Do not alternate between knit and purl, or your glove won't stretch right. Alternatively, you can work in seed stitch. This will give you material that stretches both ways. Once the gloves are wide enough to wrap around your palm, cast off your stitches. Cut the yarn leaving behind a long tail. Feed the tail through the last loop/stitch, then gently tug on it to tighten the knot. Do not cut it off. Bring the cast on and cast off edges together. This is your side seam. Place your arm on top of the glove, and align your knuckles with one of the top, narrow edges. Note where the top and bottom of your thumb is. Thread the long tail onto a yarn needle. Sew the side seam down using a whip stitch until you reach the top of your thumb joint. For most people, this will be about 2 inches (5.08 centimeters). Once the top part of your glove is long enough to your liking, tie the tail off, then weave the tail back up the seam towards the top edge. Snip off the excess yarn. Thread the long cast on tail though your yarn needle. Sew up the bottom edge of the side seam using a whip stitch. Stop when you reach the base of your thumb. You will be left with a gap in your side seam, which is the thumb hole. As before, tie the end of the tail off, then weave it back down the seam. You don't have to weave it all the way back down--a couple of inches/centimeters will be plenty. Snip the excess yarn off. This pattern is completely reversible, so you can use the exact same method for both gloves. You do not need to turn these gloves inside out either, as they will be the same...

This will be the template for your tattoo. Make sure the image is clear so you can trace it easily. It should be the exact size you desire it to be on your skin. If the image you choose isn't symmetrical, you'll have to print or draw it mirrored so it transfers to your skin properly.  If you find drawing the mirror image of your design too difficult freehand, you can use a computer to reverse the image. Copy your tattoo design into an image editing program, like Adobe Photoshop or MS Paint, and flip it along its vertical axis. If you are more artistically inclined, or have a friend willing to help you who is, you could also draw the outline of your tattoo directly on your skin in waterproof liquid eyeliner or with a eyeliner pencil with a fine point. If you plan on inking yourself in this way, once the outline is finished, you can move on to adding color or shading to your design. To ensure that your traced lines match up with your template, you might want to tape your template design to your tracing paper. This way if you are jostled or the paper sticks to your hand, the template and tracing paper will stay lined up. Wax paper or parchment paper work well as transfer paper. Overlay the wax/parchment paper on top of your image, fasten both together with tape, and use a felt tipped marker to trace the outline of your design. Make the outline of your image dark and thick. This will make it easier for you to follow the outline with your eyeliner, which you then transfer to your skin. It might be difficult to transfer your image if your sheet of wax/parchment paper is too large. Trim down your paper with a pair of scissors so that only the design and a small margin of wax/parchment paper around the outline remain. At this point, you might want to check and see how your design will look on the part of your body part you plan to apply your tattoo. Drape your wax/parchment paper outline side down on that body part. You should be able to see through the paper to preview how it will look.

Print or draw your design on a piece of paper. Trace the outline of your design. Cut your outline into a manageable piece of paper.


This will be your dream journal, or a dream diary. In your dream journal, you'll write down what you hope to dream and what you remember dreaming.  Set the journal close to your bed and keep a pen nearby so that you can quickly write down what happened in the dreams you remember when you wake up. If you leave it any longer, the memory quickly fades. You could write your dream journal in a word processor on a computer, but it's recommended to write it in freehand. You'll spend more time putting pen to paper, making a larger connection in your brain between the dream and your recording of it. Call this your target dream. Do this every night before you go to sleep. You are imagining the environment you want to experience when you fall asleep.  Draw pictures and write down directions, using lots of detail. In fact, put in as much detail as possible; get to the point where you think you may have too much detail. Even the smallest things are important. The trick is to tell yourself what you are going to experience when you dream, so that you can become aware of your dreaming state while you dream. Don't watch television or movies before you go to bed, or you may dream about what they involved instead of your target dream. Every morning, as soon as you wake up, write down your dream. Even if you didn't have the dream you anticipated having, write it down. See "Tips" below for recommendations on what to record.  Like an athlete practicing a routine, you are training your mind to recall its dreams. The more consistently you train your mind to recall its dreams, the sharper and more heightened your dreams will become. Write down any parallels you remember between your target dream (the dream you wanted to have) and the dream you actually had. Be as specific as possible. Think about the similarities and differences. When interpreting the dream, keep in mind that dreams do not offer exact images or answers to your questions the way that your brain does in a waking state. Instead, the brain communicates by means of metaphors.

Give yourself permission to rest and relax. Don’t think about work or responsibilities during this time. This will give you more time to work on things that truly matter to you, such as your hobbies or personal goals. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying television, but too much of it can leave you feeling down. Turn off the tube and engage in an activity that supports your happy, positive life instead.  Work toward a personal goal. Spend time with people you care about. Go to a museum. Check out a new place in your city.

This will bring up your PC's task menu. If you have a myriad of programs starting up when you log into your computer, you'll likely have to deal with several minutes of general slow-down. Disabling startup programs will fix this issue. This will open your computer's Task Manager, from which you can alter or end PC processes. After that, click on "More details". This is near the top of your Task Manager window; doing so will bring up a list of the programs that boot up when you start your PC. Note that "disabling" a process will not disable it from running at all; rather, it will prevent the program from starting up automatically. This is in the bottom right corner of your Task Manager window. You can also right-click a process and then click "Disable" in the context menu. Some common high memory-usage culprits include Skype and Steam  If you're unsure of which programs to disable, look at the "Startup impact" column on the right side of the Task Manager window; generally speaking, you should disable any "High"- or "Medium"-rated programs. It is recommended that you leave your antivirus enabled; otherwise your antivirus might not run at startup and thus you would be unprotected from viruses. To get the most out of this process, you'll also need to clear out the Hidden Icons menu. This is the upward-facing arrow on the right side of your taskbar and to the left of your clock. Click or tap it to open your menu. Often, you'll find background processes running here (e.g., Dropbox or Google Drive). Killing these processes will free up random access memory (RAM) which will in turn increase your computer's processing speed. You can end these processes from within this menu. For example, if you aren't using your computer's cloud storage app, you should consider ending this process. This will usually prompt you to confirm your decision by clicking "Exit (App Name)". You'll need to repeat this process for every single process you want to end.

This will buffer your stomach so alcohol won't be absorbed into your blood too quickly. This could cause a spike in your drunkenness. Spikes like these may temporarily leave you unable to act sober. The goal is to not get to that point. Acting sober is largely a matter of maintaining a level of drunkenness that does not prohibit you from controlling your behaviors. This is an objective way to keep from getting too drunk to act sober. You need to know your limits. When you start drinking, make a mental note of the time. Then keep a count of how many drinks you have had since that time. If you know you are no longer able to act sober, remember how much you had drunk and try to stay below that next time.  How your body deals alcohol will vary by drink count, time, weight, and biological sex. Your body will metabolize alcohol continuously but only at a certain rate. If you keep up with your drinks over a period of time, you can calculate your blood alcohol level (BAL). This can later help you identify a BAL at which you are no longer able to act sober. Stay below that. Drinks come in roughly standard sizes. A can of beer will have about the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine and a shot of liquor. If you are at a party drinking beer, save the bottle caps or aluminium tabs to keep a count of your drinks. If you are at a bar, ask the bartender how many drinks you've had. This will help not only keep from getting too drunk but also reduce the severity of a hangover. The goal is to help keep the alcohol diluted in your blood by continuously adding water to your body. Alcohol will cause your body to lose water. This helps keep your body from becoming dehydrated. You may find that having a designated driver will help you avoid drunken behaviors. For example, getting lost going back to your car. There are some mobile phone apps that can help with some of these situations. However, a sober buddy can also let you know when you've had too many. They can tell you when you are no longer able to act sober. Have them...

Eat before you drink. Keep a close eye on your drink count. Alternate drinking alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Have a sober buddy. Increase your drinking tolerance in a healthy way.


This will calculate the total variable costs for the number of items you sell. Click C5 and enter the following formula: =SUM(VariableCosts)*Units_Sold This will calculate the total fixed costs for your product. Click C6 and enter the following formula: =SUM(FixedCosts) This will calculate the margin you make after variable costs have been considered. Click C8 and enter the following formula: =Price_Per_Unit-SUM(VariableCosts) This determines the total amount you make for all of the units you sell after variable costs. Click C9 and enter the following formula: =Unit_Margin*Units_Sold This takes your fixed costs and compares them to your margins, informing you how many units you need to sell to break even. Click C11 and enter the following formula: =IFERROR(Fixed_Costs/Unit_Margin,0)

This will change according to the game you are hunting. However, field dressing and hauling a 700 pound elk is not something you want to try without preparation. Take the time to learn what must be done with an animal to avoid wasting the meat you have taken. You may need pack animals or other means to haul a large game animal. You should also keep in mind that you will need a place to store potentially several hundred pounds of venison, moose, or elk after your hunt is over. This can be useful for developing hunting partners, but can also help in the event that you don't have sufficient freezer space. You can also get tips on how to [Field Dress a Deer Carcass] and prepare the meat. A trophy buck might be tempting to drive around and show off, but if the weather is mild, you need to gut the animal and cool the meat as quickly as possible after it is taken. Other game animals have special handling requirements as well.  Game birds should be plucked or skinned and dressed soon after they are taken.  Rabbits and squirrels should be skinned and dressed before they become stiff.

Learn proper game meat handling. Make sure you have resources for caring for the meat. Network with other hunters. Understand time is a factor.


This will cleanse and open the pore.  Use mild, non-oily soaps to avoid irritating your skin. If the pimple is very swollen, applying warm water may cause it to break open and release a small amount of pus. If this occurs, continue washing gently until the pus is gone. Do not scrub. This will irritate the already inflamed skin. This will make it easier to apply the medication only to the area you want. This is important because the cream can be an irritant if applied to areas where it is not needed. Remove the cap and use the spike on the cap to break the seal. If the tube is new, remove the cap and check to be sure that the seal is not broken before opening it yourself. If it is broken, return the tube and get a new one. The medication should be applied three to four times per day unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Continue the treatment until the pimple heals.  Rub the medication in with a clean finger or a sterile cotton swab. Use no more than a pea-sized amount and rub it into the skin until you can no longer see it. Wash your hands afterwards to prevent the medication from irritating the skin on your hands. Do not apply Fucidin to uninfected areas as it may cause irritation.

Wash the pimple with warm water and a soft washcloth. Dry your skin with a clean towel. Open the tube of Fucidin cream. Apply the cream to the infected pimple.


This will create a circle. It's important to use a pencil because you'll need to erase the marks you made later. You can also trace the rim of an upside-down mug, a jar or food container, or anything else with a round base. You can use a ruler, book, or any straight edge to do this. If you do have a ruler, you can find the halfway mark by measuring the vertical length of the circle and splitting it in half. Since you already have a line running down the middle of the circle, the X will have to be taller than it is wide to keep the pieces even. Just think of this as slicing a pizza into 6 equal pieces. To do this, simply use a ruler to draw a straight line under the curved part of each section, connecting it to the other two straight lines to form a triangle. Repeat this process six times. You can think of this as forming a "crust" around your pizza slices. The guiding lines include the lines in your original circle, the three lines that separate the circle into six sections, and any other marks you made along the way.

Trace the round rim of a glass with a pencil. Draw a horizontal line through the center of your circle. Draw an X over the halved circle, splitting it up into 6 equal sections. Turn each of the six sections into triangles. Erase your guiding lines.


This will create the base for your ice cream. You can use either chocolate syrup or cocoa powder. Chocolate syrup will give you a much sweeter ice cream than cocoa powder. This will take about 3 minutes. You can do it with an electric mixer or in a food processor fitted with whisks. You can also do it by hand with a whisk, although it will take much longer. Measure out a scoop of the whipped cream, and add it to the condensed milk. Gently stir the two together. This will "lighten" the condensed milk, and make it easier to mix later on. It will look a little lumpy at first, but just keep folding. Stop when there are just a few lumps left. You don't want to over-mix your ice cream, or the whipped cream will "deflate" and turn flat. This is not completely necessary for the recipe, but it will give your ice cream a little extra crunch. The best type of container to use would be an 8-inch (20.32 centimeters) baking loaf tin, but you can use a plastic container as well. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the mixture down, or gently shake the container side to side. The shallower the container, the better; the ice cream will freezer faster in a shallow container. To prevent ice crystals from forming on top of the ice cream, press a sheet of wax paper over the surface of the ice cream. The ice cream should be frozen in about 6 hours. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Store any leftovers in the freezer; they will last for up to two weeks.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and chocolate, and set it aside. Beat the whipping cream until it gets stiff peaks. Mix in a little bit of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream into the condensed milk. Fold in some chocolate chips or chocolate chunks, if desired. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Place the container into the freezer. Serve the ice cream.


This will create the base for your milkshake. You can also use chocolate ice cream instead for a different twist. For an extra special treat, try chocolate ice cream that has chocolate sauce or caramel swirled into it. You can use any type of milk you like: non-fat, 2%, or whole. For a thinner milkshake, use up to 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk. You will be adding a frozen banana to the milkshake, which will thicken it up considerably. If you are using vanilla ice cream, you can also try some honey or caramel instead. For the peanut butter, make sure that you are using the smooth, creamy kind and not the chunky kind. It will be easier to blend and give you a smoother treat in the end. This will not only give your milkshake an extra burst of flavor, but it will also replace the ice and give the milkshake some extra thickness. Keep blending until the banana has completely broken up. There should be no lumps, clumps, streaks, or swirls. If the milkshake is not blending well enough, pause the blender, and use a rubber spatula to scrape any unblended milkshake down the sides of the canister and towards the bottom. For an extra special touch, garnish it with a swirl of whipped cream on top and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Place a thin banana slice on the rim and pop in a straw.

This will depend on whether or not you have pre-existing problems with your vision. There are two different kinds of colored contacts: Prescription and Plano.   Prescription contact lenses are used on people who are near-sighted, far-sighted, or have an astigmatism. Prescription colored lenses change the color of your eye while also correcting your vision. Color lenses will not be able to treat astigmatism, however, so your vision might be blurry if you have this condition.  Plano contact lenses are purely for cosmetic purposes. These contact lenses do not alter your vision in any way. You can either choose an everyday color that mimics the look of a natural eye, or spice up your halloween costume with patterned lenses.  Everyday lenses come in a variety of colors, including blue, green, hazel, brown, and purple. Costume contact lenses come in all sorts of crazy colors and patterns like spirals, checkers, at-eyes, zebra, Xs, white-out, and even tie-dye! Both prescription and plano contact lenses are classified as medical devices by the FDA, so you will need to be given a prescription. Be aware that not everybody can safely wear contacts, as the ability to do so depends on the shape and health of your eye. Your optometrist will give you proper instructions on how to insert and take care of your lenses to avoid damaging them or harming your eyes.

Determine what kind of contact lens to get. Pick a color. Make an appointment with your optometrist. Ask your optometrist if colored contacts are right for you.


This will depend on whether your TV is a standard-definition or high-definition TV. Video input ports are typically located on the back of the TV, but may also be located on one of the sides.  Standard-definition TVs usually have composite video or S-video ports. The display will not be as sharp as through your PC's regular monitor, however.     High-definition TVs may have VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. VGA connections provide an analog signal, while DVI and HDMI connections provide a digital signal of higher quality.    If you have multiple options (e.g. VGA, S-video and HDMI), try to connect using the highest quality connection. HDMI is the standard for newer laptops and HDTVs, and will result in the best quality and least amount of work adjusting settings.  If your laptop's output port is the same kind as your TV's input port, get a cable with the same kind of connector on each end.     If your laptop's output port and your TV's input port are different, you'll need an adapter cable. Adapters are available to convert DVI to HDMI or VGA to composite video. You can also get an adapter cable to connect your computer's USB port to your TV's HDMI port if your laptop has no HDMI port. Converters, especially analog ones, typically result in a loss of quality, so avoid them if possible.     Branded HDMI cables are often marked up to be very expensive, but virtually any HDMI cable is more than capable of sending the signals to the TV with no loss of quality. Some computers and high-definition TVs can connect to the TV's audio and video with a single cable, while most require separate audio and video cables.  If you connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI, you will not need a separate audio cable as HDMI carries audio signal as well as video signal. All other connection types will require a separate audio cable.     Your laptop's audio output is a 3.5-mm jack marked with a headset icon. You can connect an audio cable from here to your TV's audio input if it has one or to external speakers if it doesn't.     When...
