Vine plants are far more common than bush plants. However, if you have limited space, a bush plant may be easier for you to work with. Bush cucumbers can be planted in containers. You can still have a vine plant even with limited space. Build or purchase trellises to use and create a vertical garden. There are many different varieties of cucumbers. If you're not sure which one to pick, visit a local farmer's market and sample several different varieties until you find your favorite.  If you're particularly sensitive to bitterness in pickles, try European or Dutch greenhouse varieties, which have a bitter-free gene. If cucumbers make you burp, try Asian varieties, which are marketed as being "burp-less." English and Dutch long hothouse cucumbers are also burp-less. Being tropical plants, cucumbers are exceedingly sensitive to cold temperatures. Wait until at least 2 weeks after the date of the last frost to plant your cucumbers.  If you want an early crop, start your seeds indoors about 3 weeks before you plan to plant, then transplant the seedlings to your garden.  In cooler climates, you can warm the soil a few degrees by covering it with black plastic. If you find that your area is just not suited to growing cucumbers outdoors, consider growing them inside. Stick your finger in the soil to check its moisture level before planting. If you feel dry soil up to your first knuckle, water the soil before seeding using a gentle hose or watering can. Watering the soil before you plant your seeds reduces the risk that you could wash them away. Cucumbers have fragile root systems. It's much easier to seed the garden directly rather than trying to transplant seedlings. Drop 3 or 4 seeds together in a group every 18 to 36 inches (46 to 91 cm).  Planting several seeds together allows you to select the strongest plant. If you are transplanting seedlings, wiggle the entire structure out of the starter pot, soil and all. The soil helps protect the plant's sensitive roots. If you transplant a cucumber bare-rooted, it likely...

Pick a bush or vine plant. Choose a tasty variety. Plant when the soil is at least 70 °F (21 °C). Moisten the soil before seeding. Start from a seed. Push seeds slightly into the soil. Give the plants plenty of room. Set up a trellis.


Vinegar can help descale an electric kettle and remove build up from hard water. Mix a solution of water and white vinegar in equal parts. Fill the kettle around halfway or three quarters the way full with this solution. To clean the inside of the kettle and remove limestone stains, turn on the kettle with the solution inside. Bring it to a boil. If the scaling inside the kettle is really bad, increase the amount of vinegar in the mixture. Boil again. When the kettle has come to a boil, turn off the kettle and unplug it. Let the solution soak inside the kettle for around 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes, pour out the solution. If the scaling is really bad, leave the solution in the kettle longer. If the scaling is really bad, use a non-metallic sponge or cloth to scrub the inside of the kettle. Do this after you have let the vinegar solution soak in the kettle for a long time. Make sure that you do not scrub the heating element on the bottom of the kettle. Rinse the electric kettle with water. You may have to rinse multiple times to remove the vinegar smell. Wipe down the inside with a cloth. Let it dry. If there is any vinegar taste or smell left in the kettle, boil water in it again and dump it. This should get rid of it. Boil water multiple times if the vinegar smell or taste won't go away.

Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid. The solution is primarily water, with anywhere between 3% and 7% acetic acid. The acetic acid is a necessary ingredient in forming sodium acetate. Pour 500 millilitres (2.1  c) of vinegar into a pan. Always wear safety goggles and gloves when handling acids and bases like vinegar and baking soda. Baking soda is the common name for sodium bicarbonate. This ingredient will provide the sodium needed to form sodium acetate. Slowly sprinkle about 35 grams (7 tsp) of baking soda for every 500 millilitres (2.1  c) of vinegar. As you sprinkle the baking soda into the vinegar, you will see the solution start to bubble. This is due to the formation of carbon dioxide gas during the reaction. Use a stir rod or a spoon to keep the reaction moving, and prevent it from bubbling out of the container. The reaction of vinegar with baking soda is as follows: NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

Pour vinegar in a pan. Add baking soda to the pan. Stir the reaction.


Vinegar is an excellent, natural cleaner. Pour white vinegar into a small bowl.  Do not dilute the white vinegar with water. While soapy water with alcohol-based products will dry out your scissors, causing them to rust, vinegar will not. Retrieve a fresh rag. Dip the clean rag into the dish of white vinegar. Allow the vinegar to absorb into the rag.  You may wish to wring out the rag to remove excess vinegar. Use a thick rag—it will protect your from the blades. Open up the blades of your scissors. Slowly and carefully run the cloth over the blades to remove the adhesive. Dip the cloth in vinegar as needed.  When you wipe the blades, begin at the base of the handles and move down towards the tips. If the sides of your blades are coated in sticky residue or the residue is not coming off, encircle the blades with the cloth and apply pressure as you wipe down the blades.

Vinegar is known for getting stubborn odors out of things – shoes included. When washing your shoes with soap and water, add a bit of vinegar to the mixture. After washing your shoes, you can also rub them down with pure white vinegar and a rag. The vinegar smell will fade, but the smelly odor will be completely eliminated. Baking soda is a great deodorizer, so it's one of the best ways to get smelly odors out of shoes. Pour 2-3 tablespoons into each shoe, and shake the shoes so that the baking powder spreads out evenly. Let the shoes sit overnight, and then pour the excess baking powder out of your shoes. Dryer sheets are great for giving clothing a fresh scent, and they're also great for freshening up smelly used shoes. Place 2 dryer sheets in each shoe and leave them there for a few days. Remove the dryer sheets before you put your shoes on. This should greatly improve the scent of your used shoes. You can place dryer sheets in all types of shoes, but this method is particularly recommended for dress shoes that cannot be soaked in vinegar.

Vines require light, water, and air to survive and grow. Cover the vine with mulch, which is made up of any materials you can use to cover the area where the vines grow. Cover the area thoroughly to deprive the vines of enough light, sun, and air to kill them off within a few weeks.  Try to use biodegradable mulch materials like grass cuttings, tree bark, old newspaper, or dead leaves so that they can decompose into the soil after killing the vines. Alternatively, you can cover the vines with plastic sheeting. This will rob the plant of oxygen and build up intense heat, which is likely kill off the vine after a few weeks. Fill a spray bottle or garden sprayer with a mixture of 80% water and 20% white vinegar. Douse the vines with the mixture. Check their condition after 2-3 days and pull out any dead vines. Repeat the process if necessary. Be careful to avoid spraying other plants with the mixture. Cut away the bulk of the surface vines with pruning shears and discard them. Use a shovel or trowel to dig into the ground until you reach the vine root. Pour 3–4 cups (0.71–0.95 L) of boiling water directly onto the top of the root system, where the roots meet the base of the plant.

Smother the vine with mulch. Spray the vines with a vinegar mixture. Pour boiling water onto the root crown of the vines.


Vinyl or rubber gloves are best, as urushiol can penetrate latex. Preferably, your impermeable gloves should cover your forearms. For extra protection, wear long sleeves to protect your arms. Throw out your gloves after handling contaminated items, even if they’re rubber kitchen gloves. Wash your clothes as soon as possible to prevent urushiol from setting and becoming more difficult to remove. If you can’t wash them immediately, store contaminated clothing and gear in a plastic garbage bag. Throw out the bag after you take the clothes out to wash them. Avoid letting contaminated items come into contact with clothes that haven’t been exposed to poison ivy or poison oak. After machine washing your clothing, run the empty washer for one cycle with a cup of bleach and hot water. If you used a sink, bucket, or basin to wash items by hand, thoroughly clean it with a sponge or cloth, hot water, and dish detergent.  Rubbing alcohol or diluted bleach can be substituted for dish detergent. It’s best to just throw away sponges, brushes, or other tools you used to wash items by hand.

Viral skin infections can cause diverse symptoms and occur in various areas of the body. Most manifest as painful, raised bumps which are often pus-filled. The most common forms of infection include:   Herpes Simplex occurs most commonly on the lips and in the genital region. Herpes produces one or more clusters of vesicles, which are painful and can tear open to release pus. Herpes Zoster, or shingles, occurs most frequently on the chest, although it can also occur on the face and neck. Shingles form a series of painful, raised, blister-like pustules. Warts from human papillomavirus (HPV) commonly occur in genital and oral areas. Viral infection can also produce warts not associated with HPV, such as plantar warts, which commonly occur in the feet. Viral infections are more difficult to treat than either bacterial or fungal infections. In many cases, you’ll simply be advised to allow the infection to run its course. It’s worthwhile, though, to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a medication that will help treat the infection. For example, Herpes Simplex and Herpes Zoster are most commonly treated with the oral antiviral medication Acyclovir, although your doctor may also prescribe Famciclovir or Valacyclovir. Not all viral infections can be treated with medication. Discuss various treatment options with your doctor. Warts, for example, are often removed from the body by laser therapy or cryosurgery. In some cases, they may also need to be removed with caustic topical creams or acids, including Podophyllin, Canthacur, or Trichloroacetic acid. It’s also common to freeze plantar warts.

Virgin hair is best for achieving the platinum blonde look – this means all dye should be grown out of your hair. It might take a while. Hair grows about ½ inch per month, so you’ll have about 3 inches of virgin roots in 6 months and 6 inches in a year. If you’ve dyed your hair recently or still have dark ends, you may find it has an orange tinge after bleaching. For best results, you should get a professional deep conditioning treatment. If this is out of your price range, use a couple deep conditioning hair masks in the weeks leading up to bleaching. Your body’s natural oils will help protect it from the bleach. Your hair will inevitably be damaged by the bleaching process, but going into it with freshly washed hair can make it a lot worse.

Start with a clean slate, if you can. Condition your hair. Stop washing your hair.

Virtualization allows you to emulate the behavior of a computer by appointing dedicated hardware resources. Virtualization has a greater benefit in a networked environment by taking advantage of shared storage in conjunction with security functions that can protect files, detect viruses and provide access to users that require specific tasks to be assigned to them. Generally you start with one server, but that server needs to be able to last a long time. Choose a CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), storage and networking solutions that fulfill the needs of the business. You can also purchase pre-built servers from manufacturers such as Dell, HP and more that also provide software and customer service. Be aware that some programs may face difficulties if running in a virtual environment, if they can at all. Some programs are only designed to work directly with the OS or (operating system,) such as Microsoft applications for Windows and may face more difficulty performing optimally on a virtualized machine.

Viruses can eat up your computer's resources and reduce your connection speed in addition to putting your information and identity at risk. Keeping your computer virus-free will go a long way towards speeding up your connection. You should always have an antivirus program installed and active, especially if you are using the internet. Antivirus programs can be installed for free. You should only have one antivirus installed at at time (otherwise they would conflict with each other). Most antivirus programs are not good at finding adware and spyware. These are potentially dangerous programs and can greatly reduce the speed of your connection as they constantly connect to other servers. Removing these can be difficult, but there are a variety of programs that are specifically deigned to target and remove invasive programs. Unlike antivirus programs, you can and should have multiple different anti-malware programs installed:  Malwarebytes Antimalware Adw Cleaner HitMan Pro If you've installed a lot of toolbars for your browser, these can significantly slow down your connection. Removing these toolbars can help speed up your browser, and can also help protect your private information.

Visit YouTube and choose a video that's at least a few minutes long, such as a music video. Does the video load within 10-20 seconds and play back without pausing or skipping? If so, your connection is probably strong enough for most streaming video services. If not, look into getting a newer computer or a faster Internet connection. To check your connection speed, visit SpeedTest.net and click the green button that says BEGIN TEST. Anything slower than about 256Kbps might be too slow for adequate video streaming.  Mbps is a higher number than Kbps. If your number has Mbps after it, you probably have an adequate connection speed. However, 0.535 Mbps  is the same speed as 535.55 Kbps. Nearly any new computer will be more than adequate for streaming video. If your computer is the problem, feel free to buy something very cheap as long as it's new. Sometimes you'll find a video that won't play until your download a specific plug-in, which teaches your computer how to read the video. While you should always be aware of scams, the three main plug-ins to update are Microsoft Silverlight, DivX, and Adobe Flash. Depending on how badly you want to view movies and TV, you may accidentally stumble upon sites with bugs and viruses.

Visit a big-box store or pet store and peruse the cleaning section for an enzyme cleaner. Make sure the product is formulated for use on whichever fabric your couch is made out of. It’s in your best interest to purchase a high-quality enzyme cleaner. While it may be more expensive, it likely works better—meaning you won’t have to reapply it. Use a rag you don’t mind tossing out or one that you plan to wash but not use for dishes anymore. Gently blot the couch to remove the pee. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push the urine deeper into the fabric. It’s not enough to spritz the spot—you need to soak it thoroughly. Be sure to douse the entire area, including the edges and any drops or dribbles. Allow the product to soak into the fabric and padding and break down the uric acid in the urine. Press a clean, but old, rag into the fabric to soak up as much of the enzyme cleaner and urine as possible. Repeat until no more moisture transfers to the rag. You may need several rags if the spot is large. There’s no need to rinse the area. As the cleaner evaporates, so will the uric acid that was broken down into ammonia and carbon dioxide. To prevent your pets or family members from sitting on the wet spot, you can cover it with aluminum foil.

Visit a crafts or thrift store to find decorations and costumes that fit your theme.  Use candles to add to a historical or spooky theme. For a safer option, use electric or battery operated candles instead of real candles. Put glow sticks in clear containers around the room to create a futuristic vibe. Branches, rocks, and dirt can create the feeling of a forest or cave. Look up playlists online that fit the setting of the room. Set out speakers or your cell phone so the players can hear the music. Keep the volume at an audible level but soft enough so the players can hear each other. Help immerse your players in the story by giving them costumes that fit the theme. Keep in mind that even one or two pieces of a costume can go a long way! For a cheap option, get costumes from a thrift store or ask if you can borrow clothing items from friends. Make sure your clues are set and ready for the players to find. Double check that your locks are locked, your keys are hidden, and your props are set for clues (where applicable). If you are using candles, make sure they are out of reach and won't get knocked over when the players are moving around. Set up the room just like the players will see it and go through the challenges and puzzles. Check to see all of the clues and puzzles make sense and that they will lead the players through the story. You could also have someone else or two people run through the game to test how long it takes. After all, you already know the answers to all of the puzzles!

Visit a hardware store to purchase a boron chemical powder; boron-based treatments are one of the safer options for an amateur to use. Ask the salesperson there for tips on applying the solution, and purchase other items you might need for the treatment:  Garden sprayer Face mask Protective goggles Safety gloves Chemical compounds can produce fumes that cause adverse reactions if touched or inhaled. If possible, bring the infected item outside for treatment; before working with the solution, take the time to put on a face mask along with a pair of safety goggles and gloves. This will minimize exposure to the skin and eyes and prevent inhalation of the gases released during the treatment phase. Make sure to cover the ground underneath the item as well. Boron powder is quite concentrated, so follow the instructions for mixing it with water very carefully. Respect the ratio of water to solution; the exact ratio will be indicated on the packaging and should be adhered to perfectly. When making a certain amount of the solution, factor in the size of the wooden item being treated and how many coats you will want to use. Pour the prepared treatment solution into a garden sprayer, making sure the unit is sealed tight to avoid accidentally spilling any of the solution. Be sure to keep the chemicals away from children and pets. Apply an even coat of the treatment solution to the wood surface. Allow the coat to dry before attempting to move the wood; leave the item at least an hour before going back to check on it. This drying time will allow the solution to permeate the wood surface and help expedite the woodworm eradication. The solution can also be applied with a large paintbrush to get at small or hard to reach areas.

Visit an ATM that is in a well-lighted area, or one that is monitored by surveillance cameras or security personnel. This is true of both indoor ATMs and drive-up ATMs. If possible, try to use during daylight hours. Drive up ATMs are often safer than walk-up ATMs because of the privacy and safety of your vehicle and locked doors. Before using your card, be vigilant and look around for anyone who may arouse your suspicion. If you feel the least bit apprehensive, avoid using that particular ATM and search for a safer option.  If using a drive-up ATM, keep your engine running, keep your car doors locked, and keep all windows rolled up (except the one you are using). At a walk-up ATM, always lock your car doors and take your keys with you. Never leave the car running. Some ATMs require that you use your card to open the door to gain access to the ATM. Avoid letting anyone follow in behind you, and make sure the door is completely closed behind you when in the vestibule. Prepare all transactions before going to the ATM. Have your card ready so you won’t have to fumble around with your purse or your wallet. Also, if you’re making a deposit, have all checks endorsed and have the envelope sealed if you’re using one. Never share your PIN information with bank personnel, strangers, or anyone not associated with the account. When typing in your PIN, use your free hand to cover the keyboard. Some ATMs come equipped with screening devices but you can never be too safe. When withdrawing money from an ATM, be sure to place your card, money, and receipt in a secure place such as your wallet or purse before leaving the ATM. Discreetly count your cash to ensure you have the correct amount and store it quickly.

Visit the FAQ page of your particular website and make note of the festival rules. Make a list of things that are not allowed at the festival, as some will not allow you to bring in outside food and drinks, or may have specific rules for outdoor camping. Keep this list in mind as you pack, and stay within the festival's guidelines. The very first thing you should pack is your festival ticket, as you will not be able to enter the festival without it. Put your tickets and parking passes in a safe place, either in your car or in a special pocket. Double check the festival's website to find out if there is any other paperwork you will need.   Your tickets may be mailed to you in advance, or you may be able to print them online. If the festival uses electronic tickets, be sure to have your cell charged and on hand when you enter the festival. Check the festival's website to see if there are water stations throughout the festival, as this will dictate how much water you need to bring yourself. Bring 2 or 3 water bottles to refill and carry with you throughout the festival. Purchase enough containers of water to last each day if the festival does not provide fill up stations.  CamelBak packs can be great for festivals because they're hydration packs that allow you to carry water that can be obtained through an attached tube. Getting stranded at an outdoor festival without sunscreen can lead to bad sunburns, so bring enough sunscreen for the trip. Consider bringing two or three bottles to share with friends if you are attending a multiple-day festival. Being outside for multiple days also means that your eyes are at risk from sun damage, so bring two pairs of sunglasses. You never know when you may lose a pair while dancing. The SPF content of your sunscreen is up to you, but purchasing higher SPF levels will mean you can apply it less often. Bring 2 or 3 bottles of hand sanitizer and apply it after using the restroom and before eating. Pack wet wipes to clean your hands if they get dirty, and to wipe any mud or...

Visit the website of the school, organization or instructor. Look for dress code instructions – many companies provide such guides online. If not, contact your instructor directly.  Try asking, “Is there a list of requirements for dance attire?” Some classes may require your attire to be modest. For example, they may prohibit certain clothing items, such as cut-off shorts. Select pieces that aren’t too baggy or too tight. Practice full ranges of motion in them to make sure your pieces don’t restrict or distract you. Measure your body accurately and consult with a sizing chart if you’re purchasing clothing online.  Clothing should not be so tight that it deters you from any sort of movement. Clothing should not be so loose that it can tangle or get in your way. For example, avoid wearing an oversized t-shirt. For instance, try wearing jogging pants with a fitted shirt or vest. Choose fabrics that are stretchable and soft. Avoid material that is too thin and flimsy, or the cheapest fabrics which won’t stand up well to wear and tear. Look for clothing that can go in the washer and dryer.  Fabric should be somewhat thick but still stretchy. Try Lycra, jersey, cotton or silk. Remember that you’ll be washing your dance clothing often. For example, try a leotard with jazz pants. Bring a warmup sweater and leg warmers. Layer your clothing pieces to start out, and remove a layer after you’ve warmed up.  For example, wear one or more fitted tops and a warmup sweater. Wear pants or leg warmers with shorts, if allowed. Note that some dance classes will allow you to wear leg warmers or other layered pieces during the warmup portion only. Look for tights at your local dance boutique. Try on different tights, if possible. Move around in them and do stretches; see which ones feel the most comfortable for you.  There are many types of dance tights, such as footed, convertible, stirrup, footless and more.  Tights, particularly compression tights, may assist in warming up, jumping power, injury prevention and recovery.

Your permit should cost anywhere from $40 to $200, depending on your location, and will contain the following essential information:  How long the deer season lasts.

Go to your local law enforcement office and ask. Do exactly what is required of you to obtain a firearm. Do not fool around — follow the law! If you cannot handle a firearm for legal or medical reasons, consider bow hunting which is just as exhilarating as hunting with a firearm. Once you understand which permit(s) you need, apply accordingly. What you wear may seem trivial, but it can be more important than you think. When you're dealing with other hunters, trying to blend in, and sitting for long periods of time, what you decide to wear is a crucial decision.   Orange. Deer cannot see very well. If you'll be handing a firearm, be sure to check state regulations for how much orange you need to wear, which is required in most, if not all, states.  Camouflage. Complete the outfit with a nice combo of camo — both to blend in and to look cool. Depending on what season you'll be hunting in, you may want to vary the type of camo you use.  Hunting boots.

Visit your doctor to determine what is causing your vertigo. Vertigo is often related to two inner ear disorders known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Méniére's disease, but it could be a number of other conditions. Don't try to treat yourself for BPPV or Méniére's disease unless you've received a diagnosis and are certain that's what you have. Treatments for these disorders won't work to mitigate vertigo caused by other underlying issues. Here are a few other conditions that may lead to vertigo:  Other inner ear disorders such as vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis Head injuries and ear injuries Migraine headaches Decreased blood flow in the arteries that supply blood to the vein Brain tumors Stroke Complications from drinking alcohol or taking medications You'll need to figure out which ear is causing the problem, since the treatment you get may be different depending on which side is affecting you.  Pay attention to when you get dizzy. If you get dizzy when you roll to the right in bed, then it's probably your right ear that's affecting you.  If you can't figure out which ear is causing the problem, ask your doctor. The Epley maneuver is a series of head movements that return the crystals that have come loose in your inner ear to the right place. The Epley maneuver can be easily performed by a physician without any special equipment. The Epley maneuver is an effective treatment for BPPV when it is performed properly.  Once your doctor shows you how to do the Epley maneuver, you can do it on  your own at home next time you get vertigo. You may watch videos online to learn the different head adjustments to make. Stabilize your neck for the 48 hours after doing the Epley maneuver. Don't do the Epley maneuver if you aren't sure you have BPPV. If you have an underlying problem, you need to make sure you get the proper treatment. You can relieve symptoms and decrease the frequency of episodes of vertigo caused by this inner ear disorder by controlling your body's fluid retention. Try the...

Visit your local grocer, farmer’s market or plant nursery and buy a package of green bell pepper seeds. Peppers come in many different varieties, and some options might not be available at all times of the year. Shop around until you find a place that sells healthy, organic green bell pepper seeds.  If you have a large garden, make the most of your planting space and look into other types of peppers that can be grown alongside green peppers. You can also save and reuse seeds from the previous year's harvest if you've grown green peppers in the past. The Old Farmer’s Almanac can help you calculate the last frost date for where you live to determine what week you should plant your seeds. Pepper seeds should be planted 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. You will transfer your seeds outside just after the last frost date. Use any pot or vessel the size of a yogurt cup or larger with a hole in the bottom to plant your seeds. Use a fine-textured seed-starting mix that allows a lot of drainage. Water your seeds to the point of dampness but not saturation.  Never allow your seeds’ soil to dry out completely.  Young plants that grow slowly and produce droopy, shriveled fruit or foliage may be receiving too much or too little water. Pepper seeds require warmth to germinate. Find a room in your house that gets good sun and maintains a temperature of at least 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). You can use a wall thermometer to determine the temperature if your thermostat is unreliable. Pepper plants thrive best in pairs, as the two plants can shade each other from excess sun. A few weeks into the seedlings growth, remove the one that is thriving least so the other two can flourish. Take the seedlings you planted in shallow planters and set them on a south-facing windowsill to soak up light and warmth during the day. It’s important for green peppers to have ample light in order to grow.  After seeding them inside, you should gradually begin to expose your green pepper plants to outdoor conditions. Leaving the window open to...

Purchase green pepper seeds from the grocery store or farmer’s market. Calculate the last frost date for your area. Plant three seeds per container ¼ in (1/2 cm) deep. Keep your seeds in a room at least 70 degrees F (21 degrees C). Remove the weakest seedling. Keep growing plants exposed to sunlight.


Visit your local hardware store to find a selection of laminate fillers. Choose one that most closely resembles the color of your own countertop.  Bring a picture of your countertop to help you match the color, if desired. You can also contact the manufacturer of your countertop directly for filler product recommendations or for help with determining the exact color of your countertop. Uncap the filler and squeeze it out on top of the scratch. Apply it to the entire length of the scratch. Don’t worry about applying too much, as you’ll remove any excess later on. Press the filler down into the groove of the scratch using the putty knife. Swipe over the scratch several times using the putty knife to create an even surface. Use a plastic putty knife instead of a metal one to avoid adding additional scratches to the laminate. Once the filler has completely filled up the scratch in the laminate, use the putty knife to wipe off the extra filler. Continue swiping the flat edge of the putty knife over the countertop until the surface is completely smooth. The filler will need to sit for longer than 5 minutes to dry completely, but after the 5 minutes are up, it will be safe to wipe down the countertop. Set a timer for 5 minutes so you know when it's time to continue. Read the directions that come on the laminate filler for information about how long it will take to dry. After the laminate filler has dried for a few minutes, wipe down the countertop using a clean paper towel or rag. Swipe over the scratch several times using the paper towel to be sure you’ve removed all the excess filler.

Pick out a laminate filler that matches the color of your countertop. Squirt out the filler along the entire length of the scratch. Use a plastic putty knife to work the filler into the scratch. Remove the extra filler by scraping off the excess using a putty knife. Let the filler set for 5 minutes so it begins to dry. Wipe down the countertop using a paper towel for a final cleaning.


Visit your local home improvement store to consult a specialist about what type of sealer you should use on your paved surface based on your paver material and your desired look. Sealer will protect your pavers and simplify upkeep. Besides getting the advice of a specialist, always follow the directions on the sealer project you plan to use. Wear safety gloves to protect yourself from harsh chemicals in the sealant. If the joints between the pavers are low on sand, add more sand as described above until they are well packed. If the pavers are damp, wait until they are completely dry before you begin sealing. Before you seal the entire surface, apply sealer to the edges with a small, clean brush. Do the same for any nooks that might be difficult to reach with a roller brush. Pour your paver sealer into a paint roller tin. Use a long roller brush to apply the sealer onto your paver surface. Be sure to start in an area where you can move around and not trap yourself into a corner. The sealant instructions should indicate the drying time for the first coat of sealant, before the second coat can be applied. When the first coat of sealant is completely dry, start the second coat in the same way, using a small brush to cover the edges of the surface. Finish the second coat with a roller brush as before, but apply it at a different angle than the first coat for a more even application. When the pavers start darkening in color, that will indicate that the pavers are properly absorbing the sealant. Try not to let the sealer puddle in any areas. If you see this happening, simply continue to spread out the sealer with your roller brush. Allow the sealant to dry completely for at least 24 hours before allowing traffic onto the surface. If you want to check on the drying progress, you can use your fingers to gently touch the paved surface. When the paver sealant is completely dry (after at least a full 24 hours), move back any furniture or potted plants. You can also remove any tarp covering surrounding plants or metal surfaces.

Consult a specialist. Check the condition of the pavers. Apply paver sealer to edges and crannies. Complete the first coat of sealer. Apply the second coat of sealer. Allow the sealer to dry. Move back furniture.


Visit your local home improvement warehouse. Drywall is sold in multiple sizes: 4 x 8 feet (1.2 x 2.4 m), 4 x 10 feet (1.2 x 3 m) and 4 x 12 feet (1.2 x 3.6 m) are the most common. The 4’ x 8’ is the easiest to handle and works well for most jobs. 4.5’ width sheets are also available at commercial supply houses.  Sheetrock will cost just a few dollars per sheet for the 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) thickness. This is the average thickness, which works well for most uses. Haul the sheetrock home flat, for example in the bed of a pickup truck, so it doesn’t break or bend while transporting. If you must store the sheets for more than a few days, store them flat and on top of each other so they do not warp or get their corners broken. Few tools are needed to hang drywall. You will need a utility knife and spare blades, a hammer (or drywall drill if you screw the sheets to the wall), a straight edge for cutting and measuring (they make drywall T-squares just for this), and plenty of special drywall nails or screws.  Drywall can be installed using nails or screws. With nails you end making larger “divots” because the hammer face is large. These are easily filled later, but require just a little more patience when taping. Screws are the “instrument-of-choice” for professionals these days. No professional drywall installer leaves home without a screw gun. You might also consider getting a drywall foot-lift. Your drywall is usually installed 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) above the ground. A lift, or a drywall hammer in a pinch, will help you prop up the drywall as you nail it to the studs.

Purchase the drywall. Assemble your tools and supplies.


Visit your local pharmacy or supermarket and pick up a bottle of castor oil. Check the side of the bottle for specific dosage instructions for different age groups. As a general rule of thumb, adults over the age of 12 can take 15 to 60 millilitres (1.0 to 4.1 US tbsp) of castor oil in 1 dose, while kids between ages 2 and 11 should only take between 5 to 15 millilitres (0.18 to 0.53 imp fl oz; 0.17 to 0.51  fl oz).  Infants and toddlers under the age of 2 should only take 1 to 5 millilitres (0.068 to 0.338 US tbsp). If you’re using castor oil on a doctor’s recommendation, follow their dosing instructions. Find time before breakfast or lunch to take your recommended dose. Note that castor takes 2 to 6 hours to stimulate a bowel movement, so you don’t want to take any before bed. If you want the castor oil to work slowly over time, take it with a meal. Fill a glass with your favorite juice, then use a special measuring spoon or cup to pour in the recommended dose of oil. Mix both ingredients together, and drink the entire glass to get the full effects of the oil. If you’re taking flavored castor oil, drink the traditionally recommended dosage.  You can also improve the taste by refrigerating the castor oil for an hour or so beforehand. You can find flavored castor oil online. It can come in fruity flavors, like lemon. Find a cabinet or other cool spot where you can keep your oil without it overheating. Before using the oil again, check the label to make sure that it hasn’t expired. Keep your castor oil in a space that’s cooler than 40 °C (104 °F).  If your oil smells rancid, throw it out.

Take one 15 to 60 mL (1.0 to 4.1 US tbsp) dose of castor oil. Take castor oil on an empty stomach in the morning or afternoon. Drink flavored castor oil or mix it with juice to mask the taste. Store your leftover castor oil in a cool, dry place.

Visualization, also called guided imagery, involves coming up with a detailed situation and the emotions that accompany it. In study after study, visualization has been shown to aid relaxation and provide pain relief. In the case of severe or chronic pain, visualization often, but not always, means imagining a situation in which you are pain-free, at ease, and feeling well and unstressed. The key is finding a visualization that works for you.  A common successful form of visualization involves imaging all of the sensations association with being in a warm bathtub or lounging on a beach.  Research suggests that both the sacred and the profane provide excellent visualization topics, too. According to one Johns Hopkins study, thinking of a sexual fantasy worked better at reducing pain than thinking of more “vanilla” topics. For others, focusing on religious or spiritual thoughts worked helped at coping with pain.  Another odd, but effective, visualization topic is food. One University of Wisconsin study found that just thinking about food alleviates pain. For example, try imagining a decadent dessert or your favorite Sunday dinner. Some research suggests that, instead of thinking of other sensations, you might want to focus on separating yourself from your pain.  Try “disassociation” (imagining that the painful part of your body is separate from the rest of your body, far away from your mind). Consider visualizing your pain as a giant blob, a loud noise, or a bright light. The trick is to imagine that you are gradually reducing the irritating quality of the symbol — shrinking the size of the blob, making the noise quiet, or dimming the light. As you reduce that irritation, you'll reduce the irritation caused by your pain.  You might also imagine the feeling of a numbing agent, like Novocain, being injected into the source of your pain. If other techniques fail, consider diverting your attention from the part of your body that is in pain to another part of your body.  Instead of thinking about your aching head or...

Vitamin A, thiamine (vitamin B), niacin, and riboflavin all fluoresce strongly, giving off a bright yellow glow. Most people choose a B Vitamin complex that contains a lot of thiamine and different B Vitamins. (Look for something called Vitamin B 50 complex or something similar). Pound the vitamins into a fine powder by hammering them with the mallet or another heavy object, like a rolling pin or unopened bottle of wine. The bag will keep the powder contained so you don't lose any. Be aware that the pounding may cause tiny tears in the bag. Stir the powder until it is mostly dissolved in the water. While this is a safe solution, you definitely don't want to drink any of this water. The fluorescent molecules in the vitamin won't glow in the dark, but they will glow in the presence of a blacklight. Use extreme caution when using a blacklight around water. Keep the light a safe distance from the water so there is no possibility that it might fall in.

Vitamin B12 and folic acid are  two nutrients necessary for the healthy production of a variety of blood elements, including platelets. Because the body can't store very much of these nutrients, it's important to ensure you consume these nutrients frequently. To boost your body's supply of B12 and folic acid, take dietary supplements that contain these nutrients or eat foods high in these vitamins. Foods such a spinach, citrus fruits, kiwis, and dried beans are high in folate, while eggs, milk, cheese, liver, and mutton are high in vitamin B12. Alcohol interferes with normal platelet production and function. The immediate effect of alcohol consumption (in normal users) is to decrease platelet response within 10 to 20 minutes of ingestion. However, in severe alcoholics, platelet function is actually markedly increased, which can lead to separate health issues. In either case, reduction of alcohol use can help return platelet function to normal. If you suffer from clinically low platelet levels, you will want to avoid bleeding, which can be difficult to stop and can result in potentially dangerous complications. This may mean that you should avoid contact sports, woodworking, construction work, or other physical activities where the chance of injury is relatively high. Some common, commercially available medicines, especially ones containing aspirin or ibuprofen, can inhibit platelet production and function. For instance, aspirin reduces the ability of platelets to bind to each other by blocking the function of certain crucial protein structures on the platelets, inhibiting blood clot formation. In these cases, your doctor may recommend you cease taking these medicines or may recommend a suitable alternative.

Supplement your diet with vitamin B12 and folic acid. Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. Reduce activities that can cause bleeding. Ask your doctor about over-the-counter pain medications.


Vitamin C has long been considered one of the most powerful immune system boosters. Because of this, it is recommended to increase your intake of vitamin C while you are dealing with a virus. Aside from taking a vitamin C supplement, you can also:  Eat fruits that have high amounts of vitamin C. These include grapefruit, kiwi, strawberries, lemon, lime, blackberries, oranges, papaya, pineapple, pomelo, and raspberries.  Eat vegetables that are rich in vitamin C. These include Brussel sprouts, broccoli, onions, garlic, red and green peppers, tomatoes, and radishes. You can also consider making  vegetable soup, if you don’t like eating raw veggies. . If you have ever wondered why people always give their kids chicken noodle soup when they are sick, it's because chicken soup is a wonder when it comes to recovering from a virus. Not only does chicken soup act as an anti-inflammatory, it also temporarily helps to relieve congestion by unblocking your nasal passages. You can also add onions, garlic, and other veggies to your soup to boost its vitamin and mineral count. Zinc governs enzymes in our body that activate different parts of our immune system that fight against infection. Most people choose to take a 25 mg zinc supplement before one meal each day, but you can also add zinc-rich foods to your diet. These foods include spinach, mushrooms, beef, lamb, pork or chicken, and cooked oysters.  Zinc has been shown to be most effective when taken for two to three days at the beginning of a cold or flu. Start taking zinc as soon as you think you may be getting sick. You can also purchase lozenges that contain zinc, which you can suck on. You can buy these and other zinc supplements at your local pharmacy. Do not take zinc supplements if you take antibiotics (such as tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones), Penicillamine (a drug used in Wilson’s disease), or Cisplatin (a medication used in cancer), due to the fact that zinc decreases the efficiency of these drugs.
