You can do this while your still writing or after you’ve had an editor look at your book. But you should go to workshops. These groups will read your material and give you notes, ideas, and can even drum up some interest in your book.   You can participate in online workshops or read aloud workshops. The goal is to get your work out there to others in the industry. Getting your work seen and critiqued by other writers can be nerve-wracking. But these people will help you frame your story and make valuable revisions. You can make a pass or two on your own before sending your book to an editor. But you will need an editor. Many people will be tempted to forgo paying a professional editor to save money, or because the author thinks that the book is perfect.  Not getting an editor to read over your book can make the difference between people loving it and no one downloading it. You should edit your book yourself first, then send it to an editor for a second, professional pair of eyes. Edit as much as you need to yourself, but don’t edit if you don’t know what to edit. If you don’t know how to fix a problem area, you’ll chop up your story and have a hard time putting the pieces back in the right spot. Over-editing is possible and dangerous. A big reason an editor is so valuable is because you’re too close to your book. You’ve spent a lot of time writing and editing. A second pair of eyes will help you find things you’ve overlooked. Get someone you trust to give you notes and feedback. Before you go to an editor who doesn’t know you or your work, consider getting someone who does to read your book. Take the notes you’re given. You probably won’t like all the notes someone gives you. So read the notes, decompress, and after some time go back and incorporate the ones which are helpful. Don't use the ones which aren’t. Editing is not the same as writing. You will need someone who knows how to structure a book, find the issues, and sell your book.   A professional editor is better than spellcheck. The last thing you...

You can do this with a sanding sponge or with a piece of sandpaper; a sanding sponge will work the best on curved surfaces, however. Also, make sure that you are sanding with the grain of the wood, not across it. Some wooden pieces from craft stores come pre-sanded. If the surface area is completely smooth, skip this step. For an even smoother finish, you can sand the first coat of primer, wipe it clean, then apply more primer over it. Do this a few more times until there no ridges remain.

Sand the surface of the object with 140 to 180-grit sandpaper. Allow the primer to dry before moving on.

You can draw your own design, create a design using digital image software, or find a pre-made design.  If creating or using a digital design, you will need to print the design out before you can use it. Print the design on heavy paper for best results. Similarly, if drawing the design by hand, you should sketch it out onto heavy paper instead of sketching it out directly onto your stencil material. The easiest option is to use ready-made stencils, of course, but this option will also provide you with fewer design options. Place the design over a patch of pennant felt. Trace around the edges of the design with a pencil to transfer it onto the felt.  Pennant felt is one of the best materials to use since it is durable and capable of absorbing excess paint. Cardstock, photo paper, and freezer paper can also be used but may produce messier results. When using ready-made stencils, you can trace the design without taking any additional steps. If using your own images, you will need to cut around the lines of the image to create a temporary stencil. After doing that, you can trace these newly created edges onto the felt. Place a cutting mat beneath the pennant felt, then carefully cut along the traced lines. Remove the scraps of material to reveal the finished stencil. For most designs, a hobby knife or utility knife should work adequately well. Detailed designs tend to look better when cut out with a stencil burner, however. Flip the stencil over to its back and lightly coat it with repositionable spray adhesive.  The adhesive should help the stencil stay in place on the t-shirt. Make sure that you choose repositionable or temporary adhesive, though. Do not use permanent adhesive. For best results, allow the spray adhesive to dry for a few minutes before continuing to the next step. Doing so should prevent any residue from sticking to the shirt after you remove the stencil. Place the stencil adhesive-side down onto the t-shirt in the desired location. Press firmly to help the stencil adhere to the t-shirt.  After...

You can drink virtually anything with your Tim Tams, so long as the liquid is not too thick (Tea or hot milk is a go to, water is frowned upon). Pudding, for example, would likely be difficult to Tim Tam slam. Research done by Arnott's, the company that created the Tim Tam, indicates some favorite beverages you might want to Tim Tam slam, including...  Coffee Port Hot chocolate If you do not live in Australia, you may have difficulty finding this delicious treat. While local grocers might not stock Tim Tams, you may be able to find these at an international food store or multicultural market.  There are many different varieties to choose from, including Tim Tam fingers and flavored Tim Tams. To accomplish the traditional slam, you'll want the biscuits labeled "Original" on the packaging. You may find that the long, thin version of Tim Tams, Tim Tam Fingers, make an even better straw. You may want to give this a shot once you've experienced the traditional Tim Tam slam with the original biscuit. Open your pack of Tim Tams and remove one from the packaging. You'll want to hold the Tim Tam between your pointer finger and thumb, with your fingers being placed roughly in the middle of the cracker. You may want to have some napkins or paper towel on hand. The Tim Tam will melt as your beverage passes through it. The melted chocolate will transfer to your fingers easily.

You can dry your pillow outdoors or indoors.  Make sure it is a dry day, and if possible let your pillow get some sun!  Indoors, you can place your pillow in front of a window to get light.  You can protect your floors and furniture with towels so they don't get wet from the pillow. Move electronics.  Water and electricity don't mix! Your pillow will dry faster with the most air flow.  If you can't hang the pillow from a clothesline, position it so that most of the surface is exposed to the air. You may also lay your pillow flat to dry, but you will need to check it often to break up any filling lumps that may form as it dries. As your pillow dries, the filling will cling to itself.  Pick up your drying pillow every hour or two and shake and massage to prevent the filling from forming lumps. You want your clean pillow to be comfortable once it's dry!

You can dust the parchment paper with powdered sugar to ensure the cake won't stick to the paper. Carefully turn the baking sheet over and turn the cake upside down over the paper. Use a spatula to help dislodge it from the pan if necessary. Remove the parchment paper from the cake. The cake should finish cooling in a rolled-up shape, so that it doesn't fall apart when you finish assembling it later. Lay a clean dishcloth over the cake. Gently begin rolling the cake, starting with one of the short sides, until the entire cake is in the form of a jelly roll. Let the cake finish cooling while you mix up the filling. Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat it until it becomes light and fluffy in texture. Add the butter and continue beating until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Place the powdered sugar in the bowl and keep beating. Taste the mixture and add more sugar if you desire. Pour in the vanilla and keep beating the filling until it has a smooth, spreadable consistency. Add more vanilla if you need to thin it out.

You can dye your hair any shade of red you want, but there are some tricks that you can use to make the color look even better on you. In general, the darker your skin is, the darker shade of red you should go for. For example, if you have very pale skin, try a strawberry blonde or pale ginger. If you have a darker skin tone, a darker red, such as auburn, might look better on you. Much like skin, red hair has both warm or cool undertones. If red tends to look awful on you, you might be looking at the wrong shade of red. Instead, determine your skin undertone, then choose a shade of red that matches. For example:  If you have cool undertones, choose a cool red with purple tints to it. Burgundy is a great example. If you have warm undertones, try a warm red with yellow tints to it. Copper is a good example. Red hair can look stark against fair skin, especially if you are going dark red. Find something that is the same color that you want to dye your hair, such as a piece of cloth from the fabric store or a wig from a wig shop. Drape the cloth over your head or put the wig on, and decide whether or not you are happy with the look.  If the color looks too harsh on you, consider going a bit lighter. Many wig and costumes shops will allow you to try wigs on, but you will have to purchase a wig cap first. These typically range $1 to $2. Don't worry about how the style of the wig looks on you — just focus on how the color looks against your skin tone. An alternative to this is to use an image editing program, such as Photoshop, or use a makeover program.

Choose a color that works with your skin. Match the shade of red to your skin's undertone. Test the color against your skin.

You can earn money by signing up to participate in clinical trials, drug tests and medical surveys. You will essentially be a human guinea pig, so this option is not for the faint-hearted!  Some medical tests may be completely harmless, while others have the risk of mild to severe side-effects. Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before signing up for anything. Before participating in a medical trial you may be required to pass a physical exam to determine your eligibility. By donating blood plasma you can earn money while also doing something beneficial for society. You can expect to be paid around $30 for each blood plasma donation, but due to health hazards, most donation centers have a minimum waiting period between each donation. Do a quick search online to locate the nearest donation center or contact a local hospital.

You can easily add flavor to a meal and regulate your blood sugar levels by using herbs. These herbs are hypoglycemic, so they increase insulin production and prevent the intestines from absorbing sugars. Since these herbs have no side effects when you take them in commonly used amounts as food, use them whenever you want. Herbs can also help you get over sugar cravings. To control blood sugar levels, cook with:  Cinnamon Fenugreek Ginger Garlic and onions Basil Gymnema sylvestre is an herb that's been used for hundreds of years to treat diabetes and hypoglycemia. It helps the pancreas produce insulin. To supplement, take 1 gram of gymnema sylvestre a day. You can also take bitter melon which lowers blood sugar and improves glucose tolerance. To supplement using liquid drops, take 5 to 30 drops twice a day. You can also try coptis chinensis. Studies have shown that it can reduce insulin resistance by increasing your body's responsiveness to insulin. Current research suggests that several vitamins and minerals are important to control blood sugar. Take a B-complex vitamin to get biotin, niacin, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. Biotin helps regulate glucose, niacin can lower cholesterol, and B6 and B12 prevent nerve damage from high blood sugar. You can also take vitamin C to reduce insulin resistance and 600 IU of vitamin D to boost your sensitivity to insulin. Get 1000 mcg of vitamin B12 and 50 to 100 mcg of vitamin B6 every day. Since these are probably in a supplement with many other vitamins, follow the manufacturer's dosing recommendation. Several minerals can maintain your blood glucose levels. Choose a supplement that contains magnesium, zinc, 50 to 5000 mcg of chromium, 200 to 800 mcg of vanadium, potassium, manganese, and selenium. Since many of these minerals will be combined with other minerals, always follow the manufacturer's dosing instructions and your doctor's advice. Avoid taking extra doses of any mineral. Since these are trace minerals, they can be toxic in high amounts. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)...

You can easily cut short hairstyles using hair clippers. Most sets come with many different guard settings, and each guard number corresponds to the hair cut size it creates. The larger the number, the longer your hair will be. Most guard sizes range from ½ to 8. Each guard size corresponds to a measurement of hair. For instance, number 1 guard cuts your hair to 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm), number 2 cuts to 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm), number 3 cuts to 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm), number 4 cuts to 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm), number 5 cuts to 5⁄8 in (1.6 cm), number 6 cuts to 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm), number 7 cuts to 7⁄8 in (2.2 cm), and number 8 cuts to 1 in (2.5 cm). It is easiest to trim hair with clippers when your hair is damp. You can cut your hair after you get out of the shower, or you can spray a light, even layer of water over your head with a spray bottle. In addition, you can run your hands under the sink and then run them through your hair. When you are ready to cut your hair, simply snap the guard on top of your blade. To do this, place the end with the teeth at the blade, and snap the other end into place at the base of the blade. Then, plug in your clippers and flip the switch to the “on” position.  You can trim your hair so it is slightly longer on top and slightly shorter on the sides. To do this, use a guard 1 size larger on top and 1 size smaller on the sides. If you want to trim your hair to all the same length, use 1 guard for all of your hair. Alternatively, you can use wireless clippers as well. When you trim your hair yourself, it is easiest to start on the side. Watch yourself carefully in a clear mirror. Place your clippers at your hairline above your ears, and move the clippers towards the crown of your head. When you reach the top of your head, flick your wrist outward to move the clippers from your head. This way, you do not trim the hair on top. Continue doing this for both the left and right side of your head. The clippers will effortlessly trim your hair for you, without going any shorter than your guard. Place the clippers at...

Trim the top of your hair from your hairline to the crown of your head. Check your haircut in the mirror and touch it up as needed.


You can easily determine if a carpet is high density by folding over the sample. Then, look for the backing between the fibers. A high-density carpet will not show the backing. It will cost more, but will withstand the strain of heavy furniture better. It will also be more comfortable and last longer. A long pile height doesn’t necessarily mean that a carpet is dense. If each fiber is very thin, then it will still dent easily. Look for a firm, thin pad. Press your fingers into the pad and look for one that provides the most resistance. A thick carpet pad may reduce noise and be more comfortable to walk on, but it allows carpet to flex too much and increases the chances that carpet will develop dents. A pad that isn't firm enough will be permanently crushed by heavy furniture. Always install a fresh carpet pad with new carpet. If you create multiple layers of pads, then you’ll get a ripple effect on the carpet’s surface. Installing carpet on your own without expert guidance can lead to a lumpy, easily dented floor. Most carpet and flooring stores can recommend contractors to you who have experience with installation. Check their references and reviews personally before moving forward.  Most reputable contractors will also come out to your home and provide an estimate for your carpet installation project. If an installer doesn’t listen to your concerns about durability and denting, hire another person to do the job.

You can easily get the materials needed to create a whitewash look for furniture from your local home improvement store.  White latex paint Sandpaper, sanding block, or orbital sander Water Water based polyurethane, if you want a sealant. A cloth A bucket or container Paintbrush Whitewash looks best on raw wood so you need to use sandpaper, a sanding block, or an orbital sander to sand down the furniture. This will remove any finish already on the furniture for the whitewash paint to create the look you’re wanting. You need to remove all of the sawdust from sanding before painting the whitewash on the furniture to ensure a smooth finish. Use a dry tack cloth to wipe down the furniture and remove any dust on it. Add one part paint to one part water in a bucket or container, and mix well. This will thin down the latex paint making it look more like traditional whitewash when you paint it on the furniture by letting the natural wood grain show through the paint. Use a paintbrush to paint the whitewash onto the furniture using long brush strokes that follow the wood grain. Apply thin coats for the best results.  Work in small sections because whitewash dries quickly. Allow the paint to dry completely, and then add more coats until you reach your desired look. If desired, after the paint dries. you can paint a water-based polyurethane on the furniture to create a sealant and a finish. This is optional, but may make the whitewash look last longer. Choose between a matte or satin finish.

You can eat the garlic greens once they’ve grown tall enough to harvest without damaging the garlic plant. The longer you wait, the healthier the plant will be, and you’ll be able to continuously harvest fresh garlic greens. For the first 6 months, the garlic plant will keep growing green leaves. Trim the greens at the base of the plant but leave enough growth so the plant can recover and continue to grow. Cutting the green leaves also allows the garlic plant to put more energy into growing the bulb. Use a sharp knife to cut the greens into small pieces. You can use them as a seasoning or as a light and tasty garnish on a plate.  Use the fresh greens in soups to add a bit of garlicky goodness! Sprinkle freshly chopped greens on top of a finished dish to add a fresh and sharp flavor. After about 8-10 months, the green leaves will start to brown and die off, which means the garlic cloves are ready to be harvested. Pull the cloves out of the soil and brush off the potting mixture. Then, hang them in a dry location with good air circulation until they’re completely dry. You can then use the garlic however you want! The cloves can take up to 2 weeks to fully cure, or dry.

Wait until the greens are about 6 inches (15 cm) tall to harvest them. Cut the greens with scissors and leave 1 inch (2.5 cm) of growth. Chop up the greens and use them as a flavorful garnish. Pull the cloves out of the container after 10 months and let them cure.


You can eat the other half, or save it for another facial. You can use any type of milk: lowfat, whole, or non-fat. For something more cleansing, try hemp milk instead. It may also help reduce acne. Some people find that milk also helps lighten/brighten their skin. Make sure that there are no lumps or clumps left. You want the texture to be very smooth. Avoid the sensitive area around your eyes. If you have anything left over, discard it. Unlike the other masks in this article, this one is meant to be used once a week. During this time, the enzymes, proteins, minerals, and vitamins from the milk and will absorb into your skin. The banana will help sooth your skin, while the milk will help soften in. If you need to, use a gentle face cleanser to get rid of any residue. Follow up with a quick splash of cold water on your face to help seal of your pores. Once you are done, gently pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel. Over time, you may notice fewer wrinkles and blemishes.

You can either do this as a formal outline or just plan it in your head, but you need to decide how to present your material for best effect. If you are writing this paper for the AP test, know that the graders will be looking for a specific structure. This structure is as follows:  The introductory paragraph: 1. An introductory sentence that acts as a hook, capturing the reader's interest. 2. Identification of the issue you will be discussing. 3. Your thesis statement. The body paragraphs: 1. Topic sentence that gives one reason to support your thesis. 2. Your explanation and opinion of the topic sentence. 3. Support from your sources that backs up the claim you just made. 4. Explanation of the significance of the source(s). The conclusion paragraph: 1. State further significance of your topic from the evidence and reasons you discussed in the essay. 2. A profound thought or thoughtful ending for your paper. If you are not writing this argumentative synthesis essay for the AP test, you should plan to use a more elaborate structure than the one listed above. You can use one or more of these approaches to develop your essay:  Example/illustration. This may be a detailed recount, summary, or direct quote from your source material that provides major support for your point of view. You may use more than one example or illustration, if your paper calls for it. You should not, however, make your paper a series of examples at the expense of supporting your thesis.  Straw man. With this technique, you present an argument opposed to the argument stated in your thesis, then show the weaknesses and flaws of the counter-argument. This format shows your awareness of the opposition and your readiness to answer it. You present the counter-argument right after your thesis, followed by the evidence to refute it, and end with a positive argument that supports your thesis.  Concession. Essays with concessions are structured similar to those using the straw man technique, but they acknowledge the validity of the...

You can either fry your chicken on the stove or use a deep-frying appliance. If you decide to use a pot, choose a deep pot with thick sides. If you use a deep fryer, follow the manufacturer instructions when frying chicken.  Cast iron pots such as Dutch Ovens are great for deep frying.  Deep fryers can be purchased online or at cooking supply stores. Leave about 4 inches (10 centimeters) of space at the top to allow for splattering. Choose a frying oil that has a HIGH smoke point. (This recipe originally said LOW smoke point which is incorrect) These oils will fry your food at the right temperature without giving them a sour, burned flavor. HIGH smoke point oils include:  Peanut oil (avoid if you have nut allergies) Sunflower oil Safflower oil Soybean oil Vegetable shortening Lard If you’re using a fryer, follow the manufacturer instructions when heating the oil. If you’re using a pot, place the oil on your stove over medium-high heat. After a few minutes, test the temperature of the oil. For an exact measurement, use a candy thermometer to find the oil temperature. Follow the manufacturer instructions when using a thermometer.    If you don’t have a candy thermometer, place a wooden spoon into the hot oil. If the oil bubbles around the spoon, the oil is hot enough. Alternatively, throw a pinch of flour into the oil. If the oil bubbles around the flour, the oil is hot enough. If it turns black within a few minutes, the oil is too hot. Reduce the heat slightly. Use tongs or a slotted metal spoon to place a few pieces of chicken in the hot oil. Each piece of chicken should be able to rest without touching any other pieces of chicken. If you add too much chicken, you will overcrowd the pan.  If you overcrowd the pan, the oil will cool quickly and the chicken won’t fry properly. If you’re using a deep fryer, lift the metal basket, place the chicken inside, and lower it into the hot oil. Cook the chicken in the hot oil for 15-20 minutes, turning the pieces if necessary. If the batter turns dark brown after just a...

Choose a deep-frying method. Fill the pot or deep-fryer with frying oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Fry a batch of chicken. Brown the chicken. Test the temperature of the chicken. Place the batch on a wire rack to cool.


You can either go the simple, straightforward route and create a name like “Sally’s Dog Walking” or go with something cute and catchy, like “Sir Barks-A-Lot Dog Walking.” If you think you may want to expand in the future to add on other pet care services, don't end your business name in "dog walking". For an open-ended model, you can describe your business as “Pet Care,” “Pet Sitting and Services,” or as a “Pet Companion.” Make final decisions about what services you’d like to include in your business, and also come up with prices for each service so you can give prospective customers straightforward, consistent information.  On average, dog walkers charge somewhere between $15 and $30 an hour. For the sake of getting your business going, it’s a good idea to start with low prices and move up as you acquire customers.  Research other dog walkers in your area to come up with fair, competitive prices. There are many different ways that you can run your dog business. It might be your natural instinct to run it as a sole proprietor, but also consider choosing a different kind of organization, such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. These may be a little more expensive, but they’ll offer you much more protection. If you make your business a corporation or LLC, your personal and business assets will be kept separate, which protects you financially if any dogs cause damage or harm, or if harm is done to them. Dog walkers rarely have to get a license specifically for dog walking, but they usually do have to get a general business license for having their own business. To find out which license you need to get (if any), search online to find out what your state requires. There are many different laws that exist that may conflict with your dog walking plans or habits. You’ll want to learn these early on to avoid getting fined. Contact the local authorities via phone or email or look online to find out what laws exist in your area.  Many areas have strict dog sanitation regulations that require you to...

You can either learn an advanced move from your instructor or invent your own at home. Most complicated tap dancing moves are made up of a combination of shorter, simpler moves. When learning the advanced move, break it down into a series of smaller, basic steps. Once you learn these steps, you will know the advanced dance move.  Write down the sequence of basic steps on a notepad or piece of scrap paper. This will help you remember how to do the dance move. Practice transitioning between the smaller steps. If you transition smoothly enough, the basic steps will come together and look like one long complicated dance move. While learning a difficult move, dance very slowly. Focus on mastering each step and learning the full routine. As you become more comfortable with the dance move, gradually speed up.  If you have a solid understanding of the dance move, you will be able to perform it more quickly. This method is also important for learning basic dance moves. A good understanding of the basics will give you a solid foundation for the more difficult dance moves. If you want to improve, watch talented tap dancers perform. This will give you an opportunity to learn their moves and adopt their styles. For example, watch famous tap dance groups perform if they come to your area. Alternatively, watch famous movies with great tap dancers or watch their routines on Youtube. Examples of famous tap dancers include:  Bill “Bojangles” Robinson in “The Little Colonel” (1935) The Nicholas Brothers in “Stormy Weather” (1943) Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell in “Broadway Melody of 1940” (1940) If you want to get good at something, you must practice. If you’re taking classes at a studio, see if they offer practice times. During these times, the studio will be open to any students who want to practice independently. If your studio doesn’t offer practice times, you may have to practice at home. If you live in an apartment complex, make sure to practice during the day. Otherwise, your tap dancing may keep your neighbors awake at night.

You can either position your paper vertically or horizontally when you start drawing the Eiffel Tower. Work lightly in pencil to add a line down the center of your paper to use as a guide. Be sure to leave a small gap at the top and the bottom of the sheet so you have room to add some details later. Start one of your curved lines on the right side of the guide you drew earlier. Leave a small gap between the guide and the curved line at the end. As you draw the line toward the bottom of your paper, make the curve get further away from the line. Make another curved line that’s symmetrical to the first one on the other side of the guide. Your drawing will look similar to a triangle with curved sides. The perspective of the drawing resembles standing near the base of the Eiffel Tower and looking up at it. Measure a third of the way down the length of the guide line and make a narrow horizontal rectangle that extends slightly past the curved lines on each side. Then measure another third down the center guide so you know where to place the next rectangle. Make the second rectangle about twice as thick and long as the first one so it looks like it’s closer to you. The rectangles are the bottoms of the Eiffel Tower’s viewing platforms. The curves on the bottom will be the arch that spans between the tower’s legs. Start from the center guide just below the bottom rectangle and curve it out until it’s parallel with the first sweeping curve you made on the side. Repeat the process on the other side of the tower so the arch is symmetrical. Make another curved line just underneath the first one so it looks like an archway. Start the base of the triangle on top of the lowest rectangle about a third of the way in from each end. Make a curved line up from the lower rectangle that’s parallel with the outer curve of the tower so it goes through the top rectangle. End the line halfway between the top rectangle and the end of the guide line. Draw the other side of the triangle coming up from the other side to form a point on...

Put 2 upside-down curves below the bottom rectangle to make the legs. Draw a triangle with curved sides so its point extends up past the top rectangle. Add straight horizontal lines between the curves to form the girders. Make Xs in each of the spaces along the girders. Sketch lines inside of the archway to add the supports. Put a rounded square on top of the tower to add the point. Finished.


You can either set up a phone meeting or an in person meeting. Ask the counselor about application materials and deadlines, acceptance rates for transfer students, merit scholarships, and which of your courses will transfer. Draw up a tentative transfer plan with the counselor. This way you can ensure that you are on the right track.  Bring your transcript with you, or send it to the college ahead of time before the meeting. If your target colleges don't have a transfer admissions counselor, then set up a meeting with an undergraduate admissions counselor. Because financial aid is handled differently for transferring students, speak with the office about how the process works and the school’s deadlines for financial aid. If you find out that the college doesn’t offer transfer students much financial aid, then you may want to consider a different college. Open house events typically take place once or twice a year on campus. This is a great way to meet and talk to current students, as well as faculty. Try to schedule your in person visit to the campus around these dates. Try to visit the colleges in person at least once. Before visiting the colleges, contact the admissions office to set up a campus tour. By taking a tour of the college, you can feel out the campus to see if the college is the right choice. If you don’t have the funds or the time to visit the colleges in person, see if the schools offer a virtual tour. Chances are that you won’t be spending all of your time on campus. Make sure the town or city the colleges are in is one that you will feel comfortable in. Take a drive around the city or town to scope out the area. Stop at a local café or restaurant to get a feel of the environment. If you don’t have time to drive around the city, then look up information about the town or city on the Internet.

You can either simply set it on a table, counter, any other completely flat surface, or attach it to a tripod using rubber bands or tape. Because of the sensitivity of the shutter, you need the camera to be extremely still as you take photos. For film, you only need to expose the camera to light for a few seconds, but photographic film can take up to a few minutes.  If using film, the duration of exposure depends on the ISO of the film. The higher the ISO, the shorter the exposure time. For 400 ISO film, you will expose it to light for between 2 and 12 seconds depending on the brightness of the external light. For 100 ISO film, the exposure time can range between 8 and 48 seconds, and for 50 ISO film, the exposure time may range between 16 seconds and 1 minute and 36 seconds.  If using photographic paper, the exposure time will most likely range from one minute to several minutes, though there are photo paper products made specifically for longer exposures, even up to several months! You will have to practice to determine the exposure time that works for you, but remember the general rule of thumb for exposure time: the brighter the external light, the shorter the exposure time. Remember to account for the distance between the pinhole and the viewfinder by aiming a bit lower than you might perceive.

You can either use a bike machine at your local gym or hit the streets/trails with a bicycle. Don’t try to go too long during your first session. Aim for a 15-30 minute ride. A recumbent bike machine, which allows you to fully sit down, will be easiest to start with if you are worried about pacing. This is one of the best ways to make the most of a 45-60 minute workout. After each set, do 2-3 minutes of a quick cardio routine, such as jumping jacks or sprints. This cardio exercise essentially takes the place of your rest periods and keeps your heart rate elevated. This approach is a good one if you are trying to break through an exercise plateau. Get a rope and then warm up by hopping up and down with both feet close together. Then, concentrate on hopping at a slight angle from side-to-side, so that your feet don’t land in the same place. You can also pull your knees up high when jumping for a little extra muscle burn. Try double unders for a great cardio workout when jumping rope. This a great way to burn some extra calories during a busy day. Aim to walk or jog up a single floor and then increase your floor goals over time as you get more fit. Stair walking is a great workout because you are essentially moving your own body weight at a continual vertical angle.

Try out cycling. Perform cardio in between weight sets. Jump rope at the beginning and end of your workout session. Add in cardio by taking the stairs if you don’t have time for a formal workout.


You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.  If you're planning to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended that you use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're planning to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well.

You can engage the different muscles in your body without using or disturbing your broken wrist. To strengthen the muscles in your legs, do simple squats and lunges and keep your arms neutral on the sides of your body.  Do squats by standing in a wide stance, facing forward and keeping your back straight. While pushing your hips and butt back and knees slightly forward, squat down until your thighs are slightly past parallel to the floor. Remember to keep feet and knees pointed in the same direction. Your knees should never extend beyond your toes. Straighten and repeat.  Do alternate lunges by stepping forward with one leg. Then, lower your body by flexing the hip and knee of the front leg until your rear knee almost touches the floor. Return up and lunge forward using the opposite leg. Although many back exercises require the use of dumbbells and weights, you can do bodyweight exercises that can be done with a broken wrist.  Do bridges by laying on the floor on your back with your arms resting next to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor and knees bent. Slowly raise your bottom up until your knees and shoulders form a straight line. Remain in this position for 10 – 15 seconds, then lower and repeat.  The dart is another exercise you can do with a broken wrist. Lie down on your stomach and keep your arms extended toward your feet next to your body. Lift your upper body and legs off the floor at the same time using your back muscles. Count to 10 – 15, relax, and repeat. Abs are easily worked with a broken wrist when you choose exercises such as twists and crunches.  To begin with crunches, lie flat on the floor with your lower legs on a bench. Keep your arm with your broken wrist on your side at all times, and bring your other arm up behind your neck. Raise your upper body from the mat by contracting your abdominal muscles. Raise your torso as high as you can while keeping your lower back on the floor. Bring your torso back down, and repeat.  With twists, both your arms are extended out to each side...

You can feed your guppies all kinds of food, both dry and wet, and both live and frozen. You can buy pre-made flake food for guppies that will provide them with a balanced diet, but make sure you avoid feeding them solely a high-protein food. You want to balance protein with vegetable-based food.  Brine shrimp, earthworm flakes, dried bloodworm, white worms, and mosquito larvae are all great options for feeding your guppies. Flake food with fish meal as a primary ingredient is a great choice. Read the labels before buying your guppy food. Rather than feeding your guppies a large amount all at once, spread their feedings out throughout the day. Try to vary what you give them each feeding. For example, you might give them live brine shrimp during one feeding, and then flake food at the next feeding. Be careful not to overfeed your guppies. They should be able to consume the food you give them within two minutes. The tank water is a good indicator of how well the fish are thriving on their diet. If the water goes cloudy, or if there seems to be a problem with algae in your tank, you might be having some issues with your feeding. If your tank goes cloudy, lighten up your feeding by about 20% for a few days and see if that helps the fish readjust and the water to balance itself out again. If this happens it might be due to a peak of toxic substances (ammonia and nitrite) because of skipping the cycling period...

You can feel pain from tendinitis in the forearm around the tendons that connect to the bone near your elbow. Some of the common names for forearm tendinitis are tennis elbow and golfer's elbow. You may have forearm tendinitis if you experience any of the following symptoms:  Mild swelling in the area Tenderness with use and when pressing on the tendon Pain that is often described as a dull ache Pain that occurs more often when moving the affected limb The medical term for golfer’s elbow is medial epicondylitis. The pain associated with golfer’s elbow is on the inside of the elbow due to inflammation in the flexor muscles, the muscles that allow your elbow to bend. Placing too much stress on these tendons through repetitive motions will increase your risk of developing this condition. Symptoms of golfer's elbow include:  Pain starting at the elbow and radiating out to the lower part of the arm Stiffness in your arm Increased pain when you bend and flex your wrist   Pain that is aggravated by certain motions, such as opening jars and shaking hands Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is located on the outer portion of the elbow. The pain starts from repetitive movement which involves the extensor muscles, or those which work to straighten the elbow.

You can find a template online or create one using a word processing program. You can also draw the number on a sheet of paper instead. Aim to make the number about 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) tall. You can use any font you want. Block or bubble fonts work great! Place your template down onto a baking sheet. Cover it with a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper, then tape down the edges. Tie off the end or secure it with a rubber band. Don't cut off the tip yet; you will do that later. You can use any color you want, but white, pink, or light blue are great options. If you can't find any candy melts, you can use white chocolate chips instead. Place the piping bag into the microwave, then heat it at 30-second intervals until the candy melts. Knead the bag between each interval. How long you do this for depends on the type of candy melts you are using; some melt quicker than others. Only cut off a tiny bit, or the melted candy will come out too thick. in the next step. Use the piping bag to outline your number with the melted chocolate. Next, fill the number in using a tight, zigzag motion. Make sure that there are no gaps visible. Here is where you can get really creative. You can cover the entire number with sprinkles, or just add a dash. For a textured number, match the color of the sprinkles to your chocolate. For a colorful number, use rainbow-colored sprinkles. Use the baking sheet to transfer the number to the fridge. Leave it there for 10 minutes so that the chocolate can harden. Once the chocolate has hardened, peel the number off of the wax or parchment paper. Set it down onto the cake so that it stands straight up, like one of those number candles.

You can find an online calculator, or you can use the following formulas, depending on your gender:  Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)  Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in year) Once you have calculated your BMR, you can estimate your total calorie needs for different levels of activity.  Decreasing your metabolism means you are "turning down" your body's internal furnaces, which lowers your calorie requirements. Use your BMR to make the following calculations. If you:  Are inactive or exercise rarely: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.2  Exercise lightly 1 to 3 days per week: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.375  Exercise moderately for 3 to 5 days per week: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.55  Exercise actively for 6 to 7 days per week: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.725  Exercise intensely every day: Calories to stay the same weight = BMR x 1.9

You can find black dye at your local pharmacy or your beauty supply store. Luckily, there is only one shade of true black, so you won’t waste too much time perusing different shades! The hair dye will come with everything you need to dye your hair from brown to black. Just like the black dye will dye your hair, it will also dye your carpet and clothing. To avoid ruining your favorite clothing, put on an old t-shirt before you begin. Then, put old towels over your shoulders, on the counter, on the floor, and anywhere else you could possibly get dye! Put on a pair of plastic gloves, which will come in the box of hair dye. In a tub, mix up the developer and the dye with the provided dye brush. Make sure you stir everything together thoroughly so that the dye and developer are thoroughly blended. The downside about applying black dye to your hair is that it easily stains the skin. Instead of hurting your skin scrubbing the black stains, protect your skin by applying a layer of Vaseline or other petroleum jelly around your hairline. This will create a barrier between the dye and your skin, and you can simply wipe away the jelly once you’re finished. Use the provided brush to put the dye on your hair. Then, use your gloved fingers to massage the dye into your hair. By using your hands, you can make sure that your hair is evenly coated and saturated. Do this for your entire head, from roots to tip. The beauty of black hair dye is that you aren’t in a rush to apply it and you can take your time to do it right. After all, the end result can’t get any darker! You can use hair clips to section out your hair and work layer by layer, or you can apply the dye to your entire head of hair at once. It’s up to you and it depends on how much hair you have! Just make sure every piece is coated. After you’ve covered every piece, let it soak into your hair. The box you purchased will have specific instructions. If you’re going to move around, clip it up or put it in a bun. This will help keep you from getting black dye all over...

You can find bottled aloe vera gel at your local drug store. Any kind of aloe vera gel will work. Stir the mixture thoroughly. Although aloe vera gel is not scientifically proven to eliminate warts, some people find that its thicker consistency helps keep the tea tree oil from running off the face. Use enough of the mixture that the entire wart is coated with the oil and aloe. Apply the mixture at night if you're worried about going out in public with oil on your face. Never apply tea tree oil around your mouth. Tea tree oil is poisonous if ingested and can cause serious side effects like dizziness, confusion, and vomiting. Remove the bandage when you wake up in the morning and rinse off any leftover oil mixture on your face. It could take 12 days or more for the wart to disappear. If you don't see results after 12 days, you may need to try a wart removal product from your local drug store or visit a doctor to have the wart professionally removed. Common carrier oils you can use are almond oil, coconut oil, and olive oil. Mix the two oils together thoroughly. There's no evidence that carrier oils help treat warts, but some people find they make applying tea tree oil to the scalp easier and less harsh. Use your fingers or a cotton swab to get the oil mixture onto the wart. Make sure the whole wart is covered with the mixture. Wear a sleeping cap so the oils don't rub off on your pillow while you sleep. Rinse off any leftover oil in the shower when you wake up. This could take 12 days or longer. If after 12 days the wart hasn't decreased in size, look for a wart removal product at your local drug store or visit a doctor to have the wart removed.

Mix together equal parts tea tree oil and aloe vera gel. Apply the oil/aloe mixture to the wart using a clean cotton swab. Put a bandage over the wart to keep the tea tree oil in place. Repeat the process once a day. Mix 5 drops of tea tree oil with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of a carrier oil. Apply the oil mixture to the wart on your scalp before bed. Massage the oil mixture into the wart for several minutes. Leave the oil mixture on your scalp overnight. Repeat the process daily until the wart is gone.


You can find brushes specifically made for cleaning suede at stores like Target or Walmart. However, a toothbrush or generic clean scrub brush will also work.  The bristles on your brush should be fairly stiff to clean well. This method works well for getting the scuff and dirt marks off of suede shoes. First, lightly brush across the suede in one direction to remove the top layer of dirt. Then, brush back and forth over the area of suede with the stain. Use short, quick strokes to avoid making any marks on your suede. Once you’ve brushed off all the dirt that you can, use an eraser to rub over the stain area.  Art gum erasers work best for this task. Don’t use a colored eraser, as this can make the stain worse rather than erasing it. Don’t be afraid to rub at the stain vigorously. Consider laying out a towel as your work station, as the eraser can get messy and leave small pieces on your floor, table, or clothes. Brush and erase your suede stain several times before moving on to another method of stain removal. It can take a bit of time and elbow grease to really remove a stain. This method is great because it doesn’t involve any cleaning substances that could potential harm or mark your suede.

You can find child-sized versions of both acoustic and electric guitars, and beginner's models typically will be roughly the same price. Talk to the child about what kind of music they enjoy and want to play. This can help you choose between acoustic and electric.  Generally, if the child enjoys singer-songwriter, folk, and country music, they probably will feel more at home with an acoustic guitar. Kids who are more into rock music typically will want an electric guitar. Electric guitars can be easier to play than acoustic because the action is lower. Since there is less space between the strings and the fretboard, little fingers don't have to work as hard to play. With electric guitars, you also have the option of plugging headphones into the amp for silent practice. This can be helpful if you are concerned about disturbing neighbors or other people in the house. If the guitar is too large for the child, playing will be frustrating. Guitars are typically measured by scale. Start with the size recommended for the child's age, but don't be afraid to go up a size if the child has larger hands or is taller than average.  Get a 1/4 size guitar if the child is 4-6 years old. Get a 1/2 size guitar if the child is 6-9 years old. Get a 3/4 size guitar if the child is 9-11 years old. A full-size guitar is appropriate for children 12 years old or older. To start playing a guitar, your child will need several picks, a metronome, a tuner, and probably a capo for simplified chords. Get these accessories together and let the child help pick them out.  For example, the child can pick out fun picks in cool colors with cartoons or images on them that they like. Having fun accessories will help motivate the child to play. You can download metronome and tuner apps for a tablet or smart phone. If you're going to use these, make sure the child will have unlimited access to the device whenever they want to practice. A number of major guitar manufacturers, such as Gibson and Fender, put out beginner's kits that come with all the...

You can find hopper guns at most hardware stores, or online. If you plan on doing a lot of drywall texturing, you may find it more cost effective to purchase one of your own. If this is a one-time project, consider renting your hopper gun.  Attach the hopper gun to an air compressor and load the hopper with your mixed drywall compound.  Read the manufacturer's instructions before operating the hopper gun.  Only fill the hopper up about halfway to keep it from getting too heavy. The air pressure needs to be high enough to spray the compound from the gun, but not so high that you can't control the spray. The gun should also have an adjustable aperture, or mouth. Adjust this opening to your liking. A wider opening will create bigger blobs, and a smaller one will create a finer texture. Before you spray your entire room, do a few test sprays on some scrap cardboard or drywall. Make any final adjustments to the pressure and aperture. Write down the settings you used in case you want to make the same effect again. Cover your wall in a continuous, sweeping motion. Don't pause when spraying as this will cause build up on your wall. Spray with a light touch for best results.  You can spray in vertical or horizontal lines, or even in a random pattern. How you decide to spray is up to you, just keep in mind you're aiming for a uniform application.  If you feel some of the texture is too thin, you can make another pass. However, be careful not to spray too much. It can be difficult to match up the textures when doing touch-ups. Your texture isn't complete until you paint it. Before you paint your drywall, add another coat of primer. Once the primer dries, add one or two coats of paint to finish the job. Let the drywall texture dry completely before painting.

You can find inspiration from erotic stories -- many's the woman who has thrilled to 50 Shades of Grey -- but it can also be a good idea to consult some "how-to" manuals on how to improve your sex life. Look for books written by sex experts. It can also be helpful to look for resources that are geared toward where you are in life; there are resources available for LGBT individuals, older individuals, etc. The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy recommends the "Better Sex" video series by the Sinclair Institute. Some causes of sexual dysfunction have medical causes, especially for men. Erectile dysfunction, for example, is commonly caused by conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or obesity, although stress can also cause it. If you're experiencing physical problems that are interfering with your sex life, talk to your doctor. Many conditions that cause sexual dysfunction are very treatable. Don't feel embarrassed about going to your physician; sex issues are very common and your doctor likely deals with them all the time. Sometimes, a couple has issues with their sex life that they can't seem to solve on their own. This is perfectly natural. If you continue having sexual problems, seeing a couple therapist who specializes in sex therapy can help. A sex therapist (or couple therapist with sex therapy training) knows what kinds of questions to ask to help the two of you discover what may be causing your issues in the bedroom. It can be immensely embarrassing to talk to a stranger about your sex life, but sex therapists are held to the same rules of confidentiality as all mental health professionals. They're there to help you, and will not judge you or discuss your issues with anyone else.

You can find it in spray and garland form. How much you get will depend on the size of your grapevine wreath. Plan on using one garland or about four sprays of faux boxwood. Simply pull the stems off of the garland or the spray. If you'd like, you can sort them by size. Keep the sprig parallel to the wreath. Place a glob of glue just below the stem, and set the next sprig down. Keep doing this until the outermost edge is covered. Make sure that the sprigs are all pointing in the same direction and that they are overlapping. Your grapevine wreath can be any size. Keep in mind that the bigger the wreath, the more faux boxwood you'll need. Make sure that they are all going in the same direction and that they are overlapping. You do not want the bare part of the sprigs to be visible. Save the smaller sprigs for the inner ring. You do not have to cover the back of the wreath. Go over your wreath carefully and note any gaps. If you see any, fill them in with extra sprigs of faux boxwood. Once again, you do not need to cover the back. Go over your wreath, and pull off any strands left behind by the hot glue. This will give you a neater finish. Consider fluffing the boxwood out. This will give your wreath a fuller, more organic look. Cut a long piece of ribbon. Thread it through the center of your wreath. Tie both ends together into a knot or bow. Faux boxwood can last a very long time, but it is still delicate. Keep the wreath away from rain. The rain won't hurt the glue or the boxwood, but it may cause the grapevine to rot.

You can find leather dye at a specialty leather shop, at some craft stores, or online. You can easily dye a light leather to look darker, but making a dark leather couch look lighter is more difficult. Avoid dying a black or very dark couch a light color. For medium dark colors, expect to apply more layers of dye. Combine colors if you can't find a dye in the exact shade you are looking for. For example, if you want a dark brown but the brown dye seems too light, mix a little black die into it. Use white dye to get a lighter color. Getting the leather slightly wet will help it absorb the dye. Start by spraying a small section of the leather, because you will dye it in small sections. Avoid completely soaking the leather because this can cause it to stain or warp. If the leather is unevenly wet, it will absorb the dye unevenly. Some leather dyes come with wool daubers you can use to apply them. You can also use a new sponge, which works well to spread the dye evenly. Place a drop or two of dye on a wool dauber or sponge and spread it over the leather using parallel strokes, making sure to get all the nooks and crannies. A little bit of dye goes a long way, so don't use more than a few drops at a time, or the dye will drip and run down your furniture.  Work in small sections at a time. For instance, do each arm, then each cushion, then divide the top and back into small, equal sections. Be sure to spritz each area with water before applying the dye. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the dye. Don't worry about trying to get an even dye job on the first coat. Any streaks or unevenness will be less visible as you apply more coats. You don't need to dampen the leather with water again after doing the first coat. Apply as many coats as you need to get the color you are looking for. Most leather couches will need between 3 and 6 coats total. Let each coat dry completely before applying another.  If you are attempting to dye a dark couch lighter, you might need to apply more coats. If you apply too much dye, it...

Purchase leather dye in the color you want your couch to be. Spray a small section of the leather couch, about the size of your hand, with a water bottle.
