Rest assured that you don’t need to surround yourself with a lot of friends to come across as cool to other people. But remember: it would look kind of suspicious if the few friends you do have all started to bail on you. Don’t take them for granted. Prove to them (as well as to others outside your circle) that you are definitely worth their time, respect, and loyalty. Shun the idea of being the center of attention. When your friends need to unload or vent or even just BS, put yourself on the back burner and really listen to what they have to say. Prove to them that you really do desire to know exactly what they think and feel about this, that, and the other thing.  Ask follow-up questions once they finish telling you something to show them that you want to understand them fully. Respond directly to their comments rather than switching the subject or simply stating your own opinions. If you feel like a personal story or opinion of your own would benefit them, frame it in a way that clearly shows that this is a response to what they have said, and not just an opportunity for you to talk about yourself. Being cool and confident is a matter of seeking approval from yourself first and foremost, but that doesn’t mean you should disregard what the people who are most important to you have to say. When they point out a flaw of yours, take it as constructive feedback rather than an insult. Accept the fact that you are not perfect. Embrace your closest friends as people with whom you can be yourself, flaws and all, without having to strike a constant “cool” pose.  Keep an ear out for repeated hints about your flaws in case your friends are reluctant to address them directly. Admit to your mistakes to show that you are more concerned with improving yourself and your friendship rather than just “looking good.”  Laugh at yourself to diffuse tension and prove that you are empathetic enough to see yourself through your friends’ eyes. ” Throwing your friends parties or making other grand gestures from time to time will...

Valora los amigos que tienes. Prioriza a tus amigos. Respeta sus críticas. Haz las “pequeñas cosas”. Forja nuevos recuerdos.


Rest the bottom of the cupcake in the palm of your non-dominant hand. Keep your hand steady so that the cupcake does not topple over.  Note that this method can also be referred to as the “gentleman style” or “hamburger style.” It is a convenient and relatively mess-free alternative that creates an even ration of frosting to cake. This method works with any standard cupcake but does not work well with filled cupcakes. Grip the center of the cupcake from the bottom using your dominant hand. Dig into the cupcake with your fingernails, twisting it gently simultaneously. Continue until the bottom breaks free from the top. Note that it may be easier for you to use a knife to cut the cupcake in half. This can be done by placing the cupcake on a plate and sawing the top from the bottom with a knife. A plastic knife or other dull kitchen knife will work sufficiently well. Turn the bottom half of the cupcake upside-down so that the cut portion now faces downward. Place the bottom half over the top half and press it down into the frosting. Press well to secure the two halves together, using the frosting as an adhesive. Eat the cupcake by biting into as you would do with a sandwich or hamburger. Watch out for any stray frosting. If your press too tightly as you eat, frosting may squirt out from in between the two cake layers.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Coge el cupcake en la palma de una mano. Usa la otra mano para romper el cupcake en medio. Dale vuelta a la parte de abajo del cupcake y ponla en la parte de arriba. Disfrútalo.

Restaurant managers work on their feet, and you want to make sure that you always pay attention to the small details while you are working.  Maintain a positive attitude, and don’t allow your stress to show during the work day. If one of your employees asks you a question, give a definitive answer with authority. As a manager, you will be the one to deal with any customer issues that arise. Even if a customer makes unreasonable demands, treat them with kindness and respect.  In correcting mistakes, be gracious. For example, if a take out order gets messed up, let the guest know they can have a free dessert the next time they come to the restaurant. Even if you are primarily working on the financial and personnel side of the restaurant, make sure you maintain a detailed knowledge of food and the dishes on the menu.  You need to be a resource both for front and back of house staff. If a customer asks you about a dish, you need to be able to respond professionally with clear knowledge. As a manager, you have the ability to make decisions and change the way things are done at the restaurant.  Take time to visit other restaurants in your city and other places you travel. Make note of things you like about them. Don’t be afraid to incorporate new ideas and ways of completing tasks in the routine at your restaurant.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén un buen ejemplo para los empleados. Respeta a tus invitados. Mantente informado sobre el menú. Incorpora nuevas ideas.


Retailers and hardware stores typically sell plywood for framing and home use, in 8x4 foot (2.43x1.22 meter) sized pieces. You can also use leftover plywood that you have from a housing project, or you can contact a lumber or hardware store to see if they have extra scraps they are willing to give away for free.  If the plywood is cut to a slightly different size like 9x3 feet (2.74x0.91 meters), it's still suitable to use for your beer pong table. The average cost of a cheap, 8x4 foot (2.43x1.22 meter) piece of plywood can be anywhere from $13 to $20.  If the sales associate tries to get you to buy a more expensive type of plywood say, "I'm only using this as a beer pong table. Give me your cheapest stuff because I don't need a high-quality plywood." Place your plywood over a table or countertop. Longer tables work best because the plywood has something to rest on, rather than floating in the air. If you have a thicker or heavier plywood, there will be less of a chance of it tipping over and falling.  Advise people not to lean or stand on the beer pong table because it can quickly collapse. Fold up tables or dining room table tops are usually the most commonly used beer pong tables. You must make sure that your plywood is steady on top of the table or it may topple over. Use duct tape to attach the plywood to the table by wrapping it around the table and your piece of plywood. Use as many pieces of tape that you need until your table feels secure to the table.  You can also place heavy objects in the center of the table to hold it down. Do not use an expensive table when doing this because the duct tape could pull away some of the table's finish. To test the security of your table, softly push down on either end of the table to see if it tips over. Waterproofing your table will prevent the plywood from becoming damaged if beer or other liquids get spilled on your table. Go to the hardware store or look online for waterproofing sealants, stains, or paints that you can purchase. Once you get them, apply a thin...

Retin-A products are typically applied at night, as the vitamin-A compounds they contain are photosensitive and will make your skin much more sensitive to sunlight. Applying the product at night also gives it a chance to absorb into the skin fully.  If you do decide to apply Retin-A products during the daytime, make sure you apply a sunblock afterward and keep out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Also double-check that your chosen product won't break down when exposed to sunlight; while most newer formulas stay intact, many older formulas do not.  When you begin Retin-A treatment, your doctor will probably recommend that you only apply it every two to three nights. This will give your skin a chance to adjust to the cream and help to avoid irritation. Once your skin has adjusted, you can build up to using it every night. Apply the Retin-A to dry skin, about 20 minutes after thoroughly cleansing your face. Retin-A is a very strong treatment, so it imperative that you use it correctly and only apply it in very small amounts.  At most, a pea-sized amount of cream should be used on the face, and a little more if applying to the neck. A good technique is to dab the cream on the areas most affected by wrinkles, age spots, etc., then wipe any remaining cream over the rest of the face. Many people become scared of using Retin-A because they start applying the cream too heavily and experience negative side effects such as dryness, irritation, stinging and acne outbreaks. However, these effects can be greatly reduced if the cream is applied in moderation. Due to the drying effects of Retin-A treatments, it is imperative that you always wear a hydrating moisturizer, day and night.  At night, wait 20 minutes for the Retin-A to be fully absorbed into the skin, then apply your moisturizer. In the morning, wash your face thoroughly before applying a second moisturizer containing a high SPF. Sometimes, it can be hard to spread the recommended pea-sized amount of Retin-A to all of the areas of the face where it's...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa los productos Retin-A únicamente en la noche. Usa Retin-A con moderación. Úsala siempre en combinación con la crema hidratante. Ocúpate de cualquier sensibilidad o irritación. Dale una oportunidad para que empiece a funcionar.


Retinoids also come in oral form and, due to the medication's relation to Vitamin A, they can reduce the production of skin cells. This helps slow the scaling and flaking associated with psoriasis.  Usually, oral retinoids are prescribed if your psoriasis does not respond to other treatment options. The main downside is that symptoms of psoriasis often return when treatment ceases.  Hair loss and lip inflammation may occur while on oral retinoids. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take oral retinoids as they can cause severe birth defects. Methotrexate tablets help reduce psoriasis by decreasing skin cell production. They also reduce inflammation.  In low doses, most patients experience minimal side effects on methotrexate. An upside to the medication is that it can stall psoriatic arthritis in some patients.  Side effects may include upset stomach, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Longterm use is not recommended, however, as severe side effects such as liver damage and decreased production of red and white blood cells can occur if the medication is used too long.  Topical application of liposomal methotrexate hydrogel is scientifically proven to be quite effective compared to conventional medication. As many oral medication carry heavy risk of side effects and cannot be used long term, injections might be an option if your psoriasis does not respond to other treatments.  Enbrel, infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira) and ustekinumab (Stelara) are all given by intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injection. Usually, your doctor will only recommend such procedures if your psoriasis does not respond to other therapies and is causing arthritis.  Biologically, such treatments should block interaction between certain cells in order to reduce skin inflammation.  If you are taking these medications, you will probably be screened for tuberculosis as the meds have a strong effect on the immune system. They are usually a last resort effort and should only be used with extreme caution and under...

Retinoids are a type of topical medication derived from vitamin A. Retinoids prevent the plugging of hair follicles to reduce the occurrence of acne. Use products containing retinoids in the evenings. Start with applying it three times each week, and work your way up to daily use as your skin becomes accustomed to the medication. Dapsone (Aczone) is an antibiotic combined with anti-inflammatory medication. This gel helps treat acne by killing bacteria and keeping the pores in your skin clean and unclogged. It is often combined with a topical retinoid to maximize the effectiveness of both medications. Possible side effects include dry skin and redness/irritation. For more severe acne cases, antibiotics may be necessary to help treat current outbreaks and prevent future ones. Antibiotics are often used with benzoyl peroxide to reduce the chances of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria on your skin, and may be combined with retinoids for maximum effectiveness. Common antibiotics  combinations prescribed to treat acne include clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide (Benzaclin, Duac) and erythromycin with benzoyl peroxide (Benzamycin). Oral antibiotics may be prescribed for more moderate to severe acne to reduce the prevalence of bacteria in the body that may lead to acne. Antibiotics can also help reduce inflammation caused by acne. The most common oral antibiotics prescribed to treat acne are tetracyclines, including minocycline and doxycycline. Some women and adolescent girls with frequent acne outbreaks find that a combined oral contraceptive helps treat acne. These medications combine estrogen and progestin to deliver both contraceptive medicine and acne protection.  Three combined oral contraceptives are currently available in the United States: Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Estrostep, and Yaz.  Common side effects include headaches, tender breasts, nausea, weight gain, and periodic breakthrough bleeding, though some people experience more serious side effects like an increased risk of blood clots.

Retractable screens are common for casement windows. Some retractable screens connect to the frame via a latch, while others have a magnetic closure. Carefully pull up on the bottom edge of the screen at the closure to free it from the frame. Retractable screens can’t be opened part way, so you have to open it completely. Continue to hold the bottom of the screen as it retracts into the housing to avoid any damage. Retractable screens disappear completely into the housing at the top of the window frame to keep them out of the way. The screen usually slides back into the housing all by itself, so you can simply let go once the window is fully open. To close a retractable window screen, grip the bottom edge of the screen and gently pull it down. Keep pulling until the screen reaches the frame, then attach it to the frame via the latch or magnetic closure.

Retrieve your first section divider and first course tab. Slip the divider into a sheet protector or three-hole punch the divider. Place the section divider followed by the first tab onto the binder’s left rings. If you want additional folder pockets without the bulk of the traditional folder, purchase tabs with pockets. In the beginning of a course, you will receive several important handouts from the teacher. You may receive a course syllabus, assignment calendar, and or style guide. Slide these papers into sheet protectors and place them at the front of the “Handouts” subsection. As the course progresses, you will receive more handouts. File these behind the other handouts in chronological order. Create an “Important Dates” sheet for each course. As the school year progresses, it often becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of important dates. Compile a list of all important assignment dates, due dates, and test dates for each course to help yourself stay up-to-date. Type or record the dates by hand and place the paper at the front of the course’s “Handouts” section. Retrieve the course’s “Notes” tab. Insert it into the binder. Behind the “Notes” tab, place 25 to 50 pages of lined binder paper or graph paper. Insert your second section divider and the course’s “Handouts” tab into the binder. Insert your handouts. Insert the course’s “Notes” tab and paper. After organizing each course, insert your “To-Do List” tab into the binder. Place the “To-Do Now” section divider into the binder—this section will contain assignments you have to complete within the next one to two days. Insert the “To-do Later” section divider into the binder—this section will contain assignments you can complete at a later date.

Retrieve your popsicle stick and a sharp knife. Use the knife to create 2 small parallel notches (one on each side) on each end of the popsicle stick. Each notch should be approximately 2 mm long. Place the notches ½ inch from the end. Ask a parent to help you cut the notches in the popsicle stick. In order to bend the popsicle stick without breaking it, you must soften the wood. Fill a bowl with water. Place the popsicle stick in the bowl of water. Allow the popsicle stick to soak for 1 to 2 hours. It is better to over soak the popsicle stick than to under soak it. Remove the popsicle stick from the bowl of water. Starting at the center of the popsicle stick, gently bend the bow into a “C” with your fingers. Continue to curve the popsicle stick until it resembles a bow. Wrap the dental floss several times around the notches on the top of the popsicle stick. Bring the dental floss down the length of the bow on its left side to the bottom. Wrap the dental floss several times around bottom notches. Bring the dental floss up the length of the bow on its right side to the top notches. Wrap the dental floss several times around the top notches. Tie the dental floss in a knot. You may place a dab of hot glue on the knot to prevent it from untying. Retrieve several q-tips, a nail clipper, and a sharp knife. Use the nail clippers to cut off one end of the Q-tip just about the cotton swab. Cut a small slit in the bottom of the arrow with a sharp knife.

Return to clean the supply registers that you covered in paper towels not too long ago. Remove and toss away the paper towels. Lift the register. The fan will be pushing out dust. Use a vacuum hose to catch that dust before it starts to dirty up the room. Then, use the stiff-bristle paintbrush to scrub off any caked on dust. Now you're getting somewhere. Now, turn from one register to another register. The air return registers will probably be fastened, so use a screwdriver or the appropriate tool to undo them. Use a broom to sweep out the dust. Get as far back in there as possible. Then, use that same stiff-bristle brush to remove any dust buildup. Fasten the registers again when you're done. Go back to your thermostat and turn off the fan. Then, head on over to your service switch or breaker panel. Take a good look at the panel and find the switch for the furnace. Shut off the power to the furnace. Make sure that you don't turn off the thermostat. Take off the panels on the front of the furnace. This will give you access to the blower department. Use the vacuum hose to clean out the dust that has built up in the blower department and return air boot. This is where most of the dust builds up, so once you've done this, you've done the bulk of the job! If you have time, go ahead and clean the furnace fan while you're there. You may have to run out to get a new filter. A newer, better filter will definitely be worth it in the long run though. The air will be cleaner in your home with a new filter because there will be less dust, which means less worrying for you.  Keep in mind that good filters will have to be changed more often. How often you need change your filter also depends on the type of house you have, your pets, and where you live.

Reverse glass paintings must be painted from front to back (reverse painting order) because of how the image is viewed through the glass.  Keep this in mind when setting up paint colors and selecting brushes. You want to start with the small details and end with the big things. It's the opposite of how you would paint a typical painting. Use a variety of brand-name, good quality paint brushes to avoid streaking. You can go to an art store and ask the people who work there which brushes are best for your purposes. The lines are important because they will help you fill in the rest of the painting. Try using radiography pens for extra fine line work.  Use the original image as a reference to make sure that you only paint solid lines where they should be. Sometimes, you may trace lines in an image because they indicate a color break or change, but you must remember they may not be actual solid lines. Once all of the lines have been painted, wait 24 hours before continuing. This will allow the paint to dry properly and avoid smudging. You want to paint the details before you paint the foreground. You want to paint the background last.  As you paint, make sure that you avoid painting adjacent areas at the same time. If there are areas close to each other that are included in foreground but are different colors, wait for the first area you paint to dry before continuing. Placing different colors of wet paint next to each other may cause unwanted color mixture.  Allow the painted areas 24 hours to dry. Paint the medium sized areas that are larger than the detailed foreground. This is generally the main image within a painting. The “main image” should not be the small details of a painting or the background of the painting. Make sure that you wait 24 hours after you complete this section. The last area to be painted on a reverse glass painting is the large background, such as a landscape. If the background is a landscape, paint grassy areas first.  Allow drying time before doing sky and water.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comienza a pintar. Pinta primero todas las líneas. Pinta primero las áreas más pequeñas y los detalles. Pinta las áreas medianas. Pinta áreas grandes.


Reverse mortgages are a type of loan on home equity available to senior citizens. The borrower gets a loan for the value of the homeowner's equity—the equity isn't withdrawn directly. The loans are structured in the following ways:  The equity can be treated as line of credit. Like a credit card, the borrower can use the credit in the home as needed (although there may be monthly maximums). The borrower can also a monthly payment for a fixed number of years. This is called a term payment plan. Even if the value of the home decreases, you'll still get the same amount each month.  You can also opt for a tenured payment plan. This is a lot like a term payment plan, except the term lasts until the borrower leaves the home.   Even if payments under the reverse mortgage stop, the homeowner cannot be evicted from the home. There's certainly nothing to prevent you from selling your home outright and moving into something smaller. This strategy makes sense for a lot of people. Oftentimes a retiree is living in the same home where they raised their family, but with half the inhabitants. How much you spend to buy your new home will depend on how much you made on the sale of the old one. Nonetheless, try to find something as modest as possible. You want to maximize the cash you get from the sale of the home. That way, you can invest it or purchase an annuity. Even if retirement's only a few years away, investing a little bit now can add up quickly. However, all retirement accounts are not created equal.  You should invest in the following order:  Invest in 401(k)s first. Since your employer is (probably) matching your contribution up to a certain limit, this should be the first account you contribute to. Anyone over age 50 can contribute up to $24000 per year, and that doesn't count employer contributions. Invest in IRAs last. Since there's no matching employer contribution, invest in your IRAs last.

Review all of your information, and make the best possible choice that is right for you, has fulfilled your values, and seems to align with your professional goals. Then implement the choice. This is the action part of knowing what you want. This is where you start going after what you want. For example, you can go to your academic advisor or the dean and formally change your major. Then you can sign up for the appropriate classes. Sometimes knowing what you want will not be clear until you’ve tried something out. Once you’ve tried something, you can find out if it isn’t for you or if it’s a perfect match. So if you don’t know if it’s what you want, go and try it. Making mistakes is part of learning what we want and discovering what we want.  Studies show that not knowing an outcome causes more anxiety or discomfort more than knowing that the outcome will be unfavorable.  For example, if you’re still undecided about nursing or engineering, take active steps to decide which you will like. Look for internships at an engineering office to get a feel for what the work environment might be like. Ask an engineer to show you what he or she does all day. Ask questions to understand more about what the the job entails and what to expect. You can shadow a nurse and follow him or her around during the shift to see what a nurse actually does. Another possibility would be to take a class specific to engineering and at the same time volunteer at a hospital. Maybe at the end of the semester you'll find that you actually can't stand working with computers all day and that you have a knack for calming patients at your volunteering job. Even if you don't go into engineering, the class wasn't a waste of time — it helped you make a more informed decision, and you probably still learned a lot from the class. Just because you want something at one point in your life doesn’t mean you may want something different later. Periodically, go back to your choices and decide if they are still what you want. Reflect on the decision to see...

Pon en marcha tu elección. Debes estar dispuesto a cometer errores. Reevalúa tu decisión cada cierto tiempo.


Review any surveys you've conducted, and determine how you'd like to grow your business. Compare this with any real-world obstacles, including current and projected market trends, forecasted expenses that might arise in the near future, what geographic region and demographics you have had the most success with, and any competitors who also operate in that region or target the same demographics. As you move forward with your marketing plan, you'll want to assign specific roles to everyone responsible for the marketing of your business. Determine who would be the best fit for each role within your marketing plan, and define what that role's responsibilities will be. You should also determine how you will measure success for each role's responsibilities What do you hope to achieve by building a marketing plan? Is your end goal to broaden your customer base, to let existing customers know about new services/promotions, to expand into a new region/demographic, or something else entirely? Your goals will guide the creation of your plan.  Your marketing goals should fit within your larger business goals. When developing your marketing goals, make sure your goals are tangible and measurable. Otherwise, it will be difficult to interpret your sales, and you may not be clear on what approaches and strategies were effective  Use outcomes like increased sales dollars, increased number of units sold/manufactured, increased public awareness, or number of new accounts with clients.  For example, your goal may be "Increase new contracts by 10% or increase social media presence". Your strategic plan should target all three customer prospects: cold prospects (those who don't know your business at all, reached through advertisements and direct marketing), warm prospects (those who are familiar with your business, or at least have been exposed to your ads and marketing in the past), and hot prospects (interested customers/clients who know your business and are prepared to work with you).

Review recent check stubs. Total your monthly income. The best way to determine your outgoing expenses is to only make purchases and pay bills through your bank account for a 30 day period. At the end of the 30 day period, review your bank statement to total all outgoing expenses. If you do not have a bank account, tracking your outgoing expenses may be harder and not as accurate. Sit down and write out all your monthly bill payments. Also, estimate how much money you spend in a given month on food and beverages, car maintenance, activities, and etc. Total this number and multiply by 4 to get your monthly expenses. Expenses should never be more than your income. Housing costs should account for no more than 30% of your income. 10% of your income should be saved. If either of the above strategies is not possible, then you should consider revising your budget.

Reviewing your progress should make you aware of any minor or major obstacles to meeting your long-term goals. What's important to realize what the underlying cause is and to address it. Inaction will only set back your efforts.  Try to get to the bottom of any issues. What is the cause? Be honest with yourself. Say that you have not been saving enough. Is it an income issue – are you not making enough money? Or are you spending too much? Maybe it is an issue of time, and you need to put in more hours. Resolve to do what it takes to accomplish your goals. If you are facing a major obstacle, re-evaluate your plan and try to adjust. Some things are beyond our control. You may face illness, job trouble, or family issues that hamper your long-term vision. Focus instead on what you can control. There is a good chance that you’ll have setbacks on the road to your dreams. While discouraging, you shouldn’t let this derail you. It is important to be flexible and to adjust. Adaptable people are able to take control, find alternatives, and to move past setbacks.  First of all, don’t panic. Failure may be difficult but it is not the end of the world. Remember to have reasonable expectations and try to look for the opportunities that arise from a setback. Adjust accordingly. Say that your original dream did not pan out. You don’t have enough money to retire early at 50. But can you compromise? Can you work part-time for ten or fifteen more years, saving more money? By then you’ll still be well-off and at a normal retirement age. Keeping a backup plan is a good idea. Hopefully you will have worked out different scenarios and tried to anticipate setbacks. Having a clear Plan B in place is smart. Can you continue to work? Will a career change help you to meet your goal? Consider a setback a way to learn. Highly motivated people are able to use failures to learn, to adjust, to grow, and to move forward. Try to do likewise and to take the most out of your setbacks.  Assess what went wrong. Look first at your planning. Did you...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Identifica los obstáculos que se presenten. Sé flexible. Aprende de los fracasos.


Revise your profile and edit out all depressing or downer material. Most people are not looking for a partner in misery. It helps to focus on what you do want, not on the deal breakers. Tell your readers that you “love hiking and being outside” not that you “hate the indoors.”  Don’t discuss your ex in your profile. Nothing kills a romantic mood quicker than rehashing the past. These are all conversations that can take place if your relationship progresses.  Don’t write about how you are so surprised to be considering online dating. This can come off as dismissive and superior to those folks who are considering it a viable option (which includes you at this point!). The goal is generally to meet up with someone so if you lie it will eventually catch up to you. Look for someone who accepts you as you are, not some fantasy version of you. Provide an accurate age or age range. Include recent photos on your profile. Posting an online dating profile can make you feel vulnerable and some people respond to this by pushing aside modesty. Try to avoid the appearance of bragging in your profile, especially regarding your personal appearance. Write about your hobbies without overly praising your own abilities too. You might say, “I find that playing the piano is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. I’m actually pretty good at it too.” Unless you are after a one-night stand and nothing more, be very cautious about how you employ sexual references. Everything from your online handle to your hobbies could be interpreted the wrong way unless you closely edit them. It is not good if your final profile reads like an old-fashioned dating ad. Even if you like long walks on the beach, you may want to leave that for a later conversation. Focus instead on what makes you stand out from the crowd. Instead of saying that you enjoy eating with friends perhaps mention your favorite restaurant and dish. Or, recount a favorite dining story. “I will tell you later” comes across as more lazy than mysterious. Fill all of the blanks...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Concéntrate en lo positivo. Siempre sé sincero. Ten seguridad, no seas arrogante. Emplea las indirectas sexuales con moderación. Evita los clichés como si fueran una plaga. No dejes nada en blanco.


Rewards are an important part of changing habits. You need to reward yourself every time you do a good job controlling your smile.  Tell yourself that you did a great job. It even helps to say this out loud once you’re alone. Physically pat yourself on the back. It may seem silly, but it’s actually effective. You can give yourself a more tangible reward, if you like. You can take yourself out for a nice meal or buy yourself something as a gift. No one is going to change their habits perfectly right off the bat. Accept the fact you’ll probably still smile inappropriately sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up when you slip.  Being too hard on yourself is likely to make you even more uncomfortable in tough situations. That can create a cycle of discomfort that will lead to you smiling when you don’t want to. Say positive affirmations to yourself, such as, “That was a good try. Next time, I’m going to do even better.” There are conflicting thoughts on how long it takes to break and reform habits. However, everyone can agree that it doesn’t happen overnight. It may take anywhere from three weeks to three months of consistent work. If you’re doing very well with changing your habit, you can practice with more scenarios and ones that are more challenging. Make sure you keep allowing yourself to smile when you actually should! Smiling is a huge way that people convey comfort, affection, and attraction. Don’t retrain yourself so much that you lose the ability to smile in an uncontrolled way.  When you’re around someone who you are attracted to but don’t want them to know it, you may want to control your smile. However, if it would be okay for them to think that you like them, let yourself smile! They will likely feel more comfortable around you. Even in difficult situations, smiling and laughing are ways people often deal with grief and trauma. It’s perfectly okay to smile or laugh at a funeral or other somber occasion, as long as you’re not being rude or inconsiderate.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Felicítate cuando no sonrías de manera inapropiada. Mantente positivo incluso si metes la pata. Continúa practicando hasta que cambies el hábito exitosamente. Permítete sonreír cuando sea apropiado.


Rezoning your agricultural land for use as a wedding venue is only the start. Before you can host events, you may have to make various improvements on your property so it complies with safety and accessibility regulations.  Safety and liability are important concerns, especially if you're incorporating a structure such as a barn. Make sure your liability insurance is up to the task of protecting you if someone is injured at an event. Narrow bridges or steps may cause accessibility concerns. You may have to build additional entries that are accessible for wheelchairs and other disabled guests. Parking also should be a concern. The size of event you can host may well be determined by the number of cars you can accommodate. You may want to consider paving a parking area, as rain can cause inhospitable conditions for wedding guests forced to park in a gravel lot of a field. If you're using a structure, have a fire marshal or other inspector certify the number of people you can safely host in the structure and ensure other regulatory requirements are met. You may need other licenses to host weddings, depending on the rules where your property is located. The types of gatherings you plan to host also may play a factor.  For example, if you plan on hosting receptions at which alcohol is served, you may need a permit to serve alcohol on your property. You may need other permits for late-night gatherings or if the wedding party wants to have a bonfire or set off fireworks. Review the list of licenses in your area and apply for the ones you want. If there are some you'd rather not deal with, make a note to include it as a restriction in your contract. Before you start booking events, you need a basic contract that outlines the terms and conditions of renting your property. This contract should incorporate any restrictions that are defined by the size of your property or local regulations.  If you don't have certain licenses, your potential clients should understand that those things are not permitted if they want to...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Moderniza las estructuras para cumplir con los estándares regulatorios. Determina si hay otras licencias que puedas necesitar. Elabora un contrato básico para el evento. Contacta con los planificadores de eventos.


Rhinoplasties are fairly common medical procedures in the United States and you are likely to find a number of qualified surgeons in your area that can conduct the surgery.  Meet with the surgeon to discuss your medical history and whether or not you are a good candidate to undergo the rhinoplasty procedure. You may have a medical reason to pursue surgery, such as obstruction of the nasal passages. Signs of obstruction include a feeling of fullness, stuffiness, congestion, or complete blockage. Straightening your nose may correct impaired breathing and structural deficits of the nose, and may even improve your sleep. Septoplasty is the definitive treatment for those with deviated nasal septum. Before you can undergo the procedure, your doctor will conduct a complete physical examination to ensure that you are healthy enough to undergo surgery and that the procedure will actually benefit you.  The doctor will likely run a series of blood tests to ensure you are healthy enough for the procedure. The doctor will look at the thickness of your skin and the strength of the cartilage in your nose in order to determine what affect they may have on your results. As is the case with any surgery, rhinoplasty procedures are not without risk.  You should be well aware of what could possibly happen and make sure you understand the likelihood of such complications.  Ask your doctor to discuss the following possibilities with you:  Recurring nosebleeds Difficulty breathing through your nose Pain, discoloration or numbness in your nose Before agreeing to a surgical procedure, ensure you and your doctor are on the same page regarding what the procedure entails and what you can expect as a result.  Your doctor may inform you of limitations in the procedure or other elements that may play a role in the appearance of your nose.  In some situations, the doctor may bring up the possibility of making a change to your chin as well, as smaller chins can draw attention to the nose. It is important that you are open with your surgeon in...

Programa una cita con un cirujano plástico certificado. Sométete a un examen físico. Ten en cuenta los riesgos. Conversa acerca de tus expectativas. Sométete a una cirugía. Recupérate de la cirugía.


Rich moisturizing creams are generally favored as a home treatment for stretch marks. Have a trusted friend or spouse help you apply the moisturizer on your back, focusing on the area with stretch marks. If you cannot get someone to help, you can purchase a long-handed lotion brush from most drug stores or home goods stores.  While there is little scientific data backing the efficacy of moisturizing creams, many people with stretch marks report fading after a few weeks to a few months. Those with stretch marks report particularly beneficial results from thick moisturizing lotions such as body butters with ingredients such as collagen, shea butter, or cocoa butter. Moisturizers are claimed to be more effective when the stretch marks are new, and still a bright red or purple color. Tretinoin is commonly used to treat stretch marks and scars such as those caused by acne. Generally, a topical tretinoin cream will be prescribed by a doctor. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and let them know that you are interested in trying a tretinoin treatment.  Tretinoin is not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tretinoin is generally applied as a topical cream, and can be applied on the back using hands or a lotion brush. Lower dosage retinoid creams can be purchased over the counter at most pharmacies and markets. Their diluted formulas may compromise their efficacy, though. One of the most effective home treatments for stretch marks is simply allowing them to fade. Help your stretch marks by making sure you put sunscreen on them whenever they may be exposed to sunlight, and just allow them time. Some stretch marks may never disappear completely, but over the course of a few months to a few years, they can drastically decrease in visibility.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa una crema hidratante rica. Usa un tratamiento con tretinoína. Dales tiempo de atenuarse.


Riding a train, such as the primary carrier Amtrak, to your vacation depends a lot upon the length of your vacation. Train travel is much slower than flying. It has its perks, though – you get to see a lot along the way, you have more elbow room, the seats are designed to recline back pretty far with a kick-up leg rest for a good night’s sleep and many trains have sleeping cars. Amtrak has a variety of vacation packages, but if you’re riding it to travel to your destination alone you can also take advantage of certain deals.  You typically get the best rates if you book your ticket 1-2 weeks in advance. With that said, you can save 25% on Amtrak tickets by using its SmartFares deal. The downside is that you must use the ticket within 1-2 weeks of purchasing.  Other 10-20% everyday discounts include those for children, seniors, veterans, military personnel and their families and AAA members. Driving to your vacation spot is also largely dependent upon where you intend to go. But it also may be that your vacation is a road trip with stops along the way. Either way, driving can become expensive, though there are some tricks to keep down costs. Your best bet for cheap gas is at truck stops or travel center chains, like Petro, Flying J and Love’s. Another option is getting a credit card from a major gas station chain, which will give you discounts on gas.  When driving, the slower the better in terms of gas mileage on the highway. Gas mileage rapidly declines over 55 mph. Make sure your tires are always properly inflated to prevent blowouts and to increase gas mileage. Try to avoid buying food and drinks every time you stop for gas or to go to the bathroom. Buying fast food adds up quickly, too. Instead buy and pack food and beverages. Again, deciding to take a bus to your vacation is greatly impacted by how far you’re going. It’s also a decision often based upon how much money you have. Riding the bus is pretty cheap. While buses haven't had the best reputation for awhile, many bus lines have taken steps to...

Rifles, sometimes called "long guns," are most commonly used for hunting purposes and sport shooting, and make excellent guns for beginners. Rifles are the most accurate style of gun, due to the "rifling" spiral of the barrel, which is long enough to result in very accurate shots. Modern rifles are accurate and effective for very long distances, depending on the style of rifle and the caliber of the ammunition used. Whatever your reasoning for wanting a gun, a rifle is a smart purchase. . The caliber of a rifle refers to the size of the diameter of the barrel, and the corresponding ammunition used in the gun. While there will be a variety of different ammunition styles within a given caliber, the caliber itself will tell you much about the shooting power of the gun. Most rifles owned by are either .22 or .30 caliber. .22 is the most common caliber of rifle sold for beginners. It's a relatively small caliber, with low recoil and high accuracy, but still powerful enough to use for hunting small game. If you want to hunt deer or larger game, a larger caliber (.30) is more appropriate for the gun to be humane and effective. The style of rifles varies mostly in regard to how the rifle is loaded and how ammunition is advanced into the chamber to be fired. Partly aesthetic and partly practical, the choice is ultimately up to you. There's no "correct" choice.  Bolt-action rifles require you to retract a side-mounted bolt to eject each spent cartridge, and then advance a new cartridge into the chamber by racking it back forward. Semi-automatic rifles use the force of each shot to expel the spent shell and advance a fresh shell into the chamber without the need of doing anything manually. Each time you pull the trigger, the gun should fire until the magazine is empty. Hybrid models, repeating rifles, lever action rifles, and many other varieties are also available, if slightly less common than the standard bolt-action and semi-auto. Shop around and try out more obscure guns to suit your purposes. . A rifle is only as...

Right after the fry are born or are introduced into the tank, feed them. Your local aquarium shop might have food made especially for fry. Otherwise, you can use baby brine shrimp or a high quality flake food that is ground into a powder.  Regular flake food may be too large for the fry to handle. Use a coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle to grind up your regular fish food into a powder that is more manageable for the fry. Keep to a regular feeding schedule. Feed your fry small amounts of food, about a pinch at a time, several times a day. To make it easy, feed the fry immediately before or after you eat. Clean any uneaten food from the tank. Use a net or a skimmer to get powdered food off of the surface of the water. Even with a filter, you want to change the water regularly to ensure the health of your fry. Try to use some water from your standard aquarium when you change out the fry’s water in order to acclimate them to their eventual home. Look to change about twenty percent of the tank’s water every day. That means that if you have a 10 gallon aquarium, you want to take two gallons a day out and replace them with two gallons of water from your regular aquarium. It will take around one to two months for your fry to grow large enough to be introduced into your standard aquarium. The fry should be larger than the mouths of an adult molly fish. Do not move the molly fry until you are sure they are ready to handle your larger tank. Moving the fry prematurely may cause tension between the fry and your other fish.

Ring the base of the stem with mulch and keep the mulch off the trunk of th tree. Keep weeds down and trap water in the ground all at once. Replenish as needed to maintain a consistent cover.  If using wood chips, avoid those from black walnut trees, which contains elements that could inhibit your pine tree’s growth. Create a well in the soil around the trunk if the weather is hot and dry. It will help keep water near the tree. Protect your seedling from too much direct sunlight. If the area isn’t already adequately shaded, erect a sheet of plywood roughly 2’ x 3’ (60 x 90 cm) between the seedling and the afternoon sun, when it’s usually at its most intense. Paint or seal the wood first to prevent water damage. Other materials, like cheese-cloth or some plastics, may reduce the amount of sunlight it receives, so use those if that’s all you have. But since they won’t block it entirely, opt for wood if possible. Test the soil underneath your mulch for dryness. If the soil is dry enough to crumble apart in your hand, add water. If the soil already feels moist, the tree should be fine as-is. Avoid over-watering, which could drown the roots.  Exact water needs will vary depending on the type of pine tree, the amount of direct sun it receives, the time of year and climate, and other factors. Contact a local nursery for more precise advice for water needs in your region. If you have a lot of wildlife in your area, consider your seedlings at risk of being eaten or trampled.

Rings should be used to highlight the color scheme and formality of an outfit that you're wearing. Also, you want to wear the same color rings as you are with your necklace, bracelet, earrings, or whatever other jewelry you're wearing.  If you're wearing a silver necklace and silver earrings, for example, you don't want to wear all gold rings. Determine which rings are appropriate based on how casual your outfit is, what other jewelry you are wearing and how these rings can be mixed. These rings are larger and bolder than the average ring. These are meant to be worn alone, not combined with other rings. Wedding or engagement rings are often "formal" looking however most fashionistas agree that they can be worn with any other rings. Most rings that have precious stones should be reserved for dressy occasions. Bands are casual, but can also be considered formal as well. Always appropriate, these rings are simple or decorated metal rings. These can be worn with other rings on the same hand. Stackable rings are a new fashion where several rings are layered on the same finger to create a cluster effect. Precious stone version should not be mixed with rings on other fingers, whereas casual version are appropriate to mix. You don't want to be wearing too many rings all at once, or wear too many rings on one hand. Balance them evenly, so you're not wearing three rings on one hand and none on the other.  In addition to this, you want to space them out on your fingers. If you don't usually wear rings, try only wearing one for a while as a small accessory. One who chooses more minimal style can stack on many rings on both hands without over-doing it. For example, a simple silver band next to tiny, delicate silver midi ring worn at the first knuckle can be stylish. One who chooses to wear larger rings, like cocktail rings, should provide a balance by choosing one statement piece and either wearing it alone, or pairing it with more understated and delicate jewelry. Mixing metals is certainly acceptable, but sticking to...

Ringworm is spread through contact and is highly contagious.  Washing your body with soap and water will help to remove any fungal spores from your body if you have come into contact with them.  By staying clean, you can help reduce your chances of contracting ringworm.  Shower regularly and wash thoroughly. Wash your hands throughout the day to keep them clean. Always fully dry off whenever you wash. Don't scratch or touch the infected area.  Although it may be tempting to scratch the affected area, you should avoid doing so.  Scratching the area can lead to spreading it to other parts of your body or even other people.  Limit the infection by not scratching.  Avoid giving any personal items, such as clothing or a hairbrush, to other people. Always wash your hands after touching any infected areas.  Touching the area and then touching another person can spread the infection.

Rinse 1-2 bundles of fresh greens under a stream of cool water to remove dirt and debris. Use your fingertips to help scrape off stubborn clinging dirt. Shake off the excess moisture, then pat the greens dry with a paper towel.  Throw out any leaves the look slimy or discolored. This is usually a sign that they’re past their prime. An individual serving of greens is roughly ½-1 bundle. Cut or tear the greens just above the light green stems so that the leaves come away in a loose pile. Discard the stems—unlike broccoli and other cruciferous veggies, they’re not typically eaten with the rest of the greens. If you prefer, you can also tear the greens into bite-sized pieces prior to steaming. Set the pan on the cooktop over medium-high heat. Once the water has reached a boil, it will be ready to steam your greens to perfection.  If you have a pan with a removable steamer accessory, simply run some water into the bottom of the pan, insert the steamer, and pile the mustard greens on top. Consider adding 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of vinegar to the water to infuse your greens with savory flavor. Drop the greens in one handful at a time. This will give them a few seconds to cook down while you reach for the next handful, which will make it possible to fit all your greens in the pan at once. Once you’ve added your greens, place the lid on the pan. It’s important to keep the pan covered as much as possible throughout the cooking process, as it will prevent the steam from escaping. Stir the greens periodically to make sure they don’t stick to the pan or each other. Otherwise, leave them alone and let the steam do its thing. You’ll know they’re done when they’ve just begun to wilt.  Mature greens may need to steam for up to 10 minutes, depending on how tough they are and how done you like them.  When steaming your mustard greens, you'll want to wait until after they're cooked to season them. Crack the lid of the pan and tilt it over the sink to let the excess water run out. Then, press the greens with the back of your spoon...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava y seca la mostaza oriental. Retírale los tallos a la mostaza. Hierve 5 cm (2 pulgadas) de agua en una olla que tenga lados empinados. Coloca la mostaza oriental en la olla o la canasta de la vaporera y tápala. Cocina la mostaza al vapor durante entre 4 y 6 minutos. Escurre el líquido restante, de haberlo, de las hojas antes de servirlas.


Rinse 2 1⁄2 pounds (1.1 kg) of potatoes and put them into a large pot without peeling them. Pour in enough cold water to completely cover the potatoes.  Use Russet potatoes for the best texture. You'll need about 4 large potatoes or 6 small potatoes. Turn the burner to medium-high and bring the water to a vigorous boil. Keep the lid off of the pot and boil the potatoes until they're tender when you poke them with a fork. Avoid boiling the potatoes until they become mushy. This would make them difficult to peel. Turn off the burner once the potatoes are tender. Set a colander in the sink and pour the potatoes into it so the water drains out. Place paper towels on a plate and transfer the potatoes to the paper towel so they dry. It's important to remove moisture from the potatoes so they don't make the dough soggy. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, get out a small paring knife and use to peel away the potato skins. Discard the potato peels.  If you notice any brown spots in the potato, cut away and discard them. To protect your hands, use a tea towel to hold the potatoes as you peel the potatoes. Put a peeled potato into a potato ricer and press down to push it through the ricer and into a bowl. Repeat this for all of the potatoes.  If you don't have a potato ricer, grate the potatoes against the fine side of a box grater. If the riced or grated potatoes look watery, set them on a paper towel-lined plate for 1 to 2 minutes.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Echa las papas en una olla grande y vierte la cantidad necesaria de agua para cubrirlas. Pon las papas a hervir durante 20 minutos a fuego medio alto. Escúrrelas y ponlas sobre papel toalla. Pela las papas. Pásalas por un prensapapas.


Rinse 2 1⁄2 pounds (1.1 kg) of russet potatoes and set them on a cutting board. Use a large knife to carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise into 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick slices. Lay the slices flat and cut them lengthwise again into 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) sticks. For rustic fries, leave the peels on, but scrub the potatoes extra well. Place the french fries in a large bowl and pour in enough cold water to completely cover them. Put the bowl in the fridge and chill the french fries for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours. If you'd like to make french fries ahead of time, work up until this step and refrigerate the fries overnight. Then, make the fries the following day.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pela las papas Russet y córtalas en palitos de 0,5 cm (1/4 de pulgada) de grosor. Coloca las papas en un bol con agua fría y refrigéralas al menos por 1 hora.


Rinse off bleach before using items using very clean potable or distilled water. Do not assume tap water is sanitized for rinsing brewing equipment.  If you're using bleach to sanitize, add one ounce (30ml) of bleach to five gallons (19 liters) of cold water, followed by one ounce (30ml) of white vinegar. Do not mix the bleach and vinegar together before adding to the water! The vinegar will make the water more acidic, which helps the bleach sanitize. Do not rinse iodine solutions, let equipment drip dry instead. Note that bleach can cause unwanted flavours in your beer, and requires rinsing, which can introduce microorganisms to your sterilized equipment. If you want to sterilize your equipment properly, use either a food-grade cleanser or sanitizer such as One Step No-Rinse Sanitizer, which requires no rinsing; or an iodine solution such as BTF Iodophor. Remember, in beer brewing, you can do just about anything you want, and add anything you want, to make whatever kind of beer you want—but proper sanitizing is the MOST important thing you can do. Take the time and the energy to do it right. That includes cleaning and sanitizing as outlined, and also includes having all your ingredients prepared and measured in advance.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enjuaga todo muy bien. Prepara todo antes de comenzar.


Rinse off the outside of the eggplant. You can peel the eggplant if you prefer, but you can also leave the skin on. Cut the eggplant to the shape you need for your recipe, such as slices or cubes. You'll need a lot of salt for this process, so use more than you think you need, about 1/2 tablespoon for each (medium) eggplant. You can use regular table salt, kosher salt, or whatever you have on hand. Sprinkle the salt on, or toss the cubes in the salt. Spread the cubes out in a colander or over a cooling rack, as water will drip off them. A medium eggplant is about a pound by weight. If you're eggplant is larger or smaller, adjust the amount of salt in the same ratio. For instance, if you have an eggplant that is 1 1/2 pounds, add 3/4 tablespoon of salt for each eggplant. This process takes time, as the salt is drawing moisture out of the eggplant. You'll need 30 minutes at the minimum, but you can leave them up to an hour and a half. Watch for moisture beading up on the eggplant, which is what you want. Run the eggplant under water for a minute or two, making sure you get most of the salt off. Leaving too much salt on will make the final dish too salty. For most applications, you want to dry the eggplant off as much as possible. Place the eggplant between two paper towels, and press it down on a hard surface with your hand, which will remove much of the water. Use immediately.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava y corta la berenjena. Añade la sal. Deja los cubos reposar. Enjuaga la sal. Seca la berenjena presionándola.


Rinse small bunches of fresh herbs under cool water or use a mixture of your favorite fresh herbs. Put half of the herbs into an 8-cup (1.81 kg) mason jar. If you don't have that, you can use a large bowl that's at least three inches (7.5 cm) deep. You'll need:  1 small bunch fresh rosemary 1 small bunch fresh thyme 1 small bunch fresh oregano 1 small bunch fresh basil 1 small bunch fresh dill 1 small bunch fresh mint sprigs Get out one 11-ounce (308 g) package of goat cheese. Cut the goat cheese vertically, so you get about 12 thin rounds of cheese. Try to slice the cheese while it's cold. This will make it less crumbly when you cut it. Place the goat cheese rounds on top of the fresh herbs in your jar or bowl. Put the rest of the herbs over the cheese. Get out 2 1/2 to 3 cups (591 to 709 ml) of extra-virgin olive oil out and pour enough of the oil to cover the cheese and herbs. You may not need all 3 cups (709 ml) of the extra virgin olive oil. Put the lid on the mason jar or cover your bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the goat cheese for at least three days. You can marinate the goat cheese up to five days. The longer you marinate the goat cheese, the more flavorful it will become. When you're ready to serve the goat cheese, remove it from the fridge and gently scoop the cheese out of the jar. Place the cheese on a serving plate. Serve the cheese with crusty baguette or crackers. You can strain the herbed oil through a mesh strainer. Save the flavorful oil for other recipes or to dip flatbread in.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Enjuaga las hierbas frescas y colócalas en un frasco. Corta el queso de cabra en rodajas. Coloca en un frasco el queso de cabra junto con el aceite. Tapa el queso de cabra y marínalo. Sirve el queso de cabra marinado en hierbas.


Rinse the broccoli under running water and check the crowns for any hidden insects. Dry the head of broccoli with paper towels, then use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the florets into bite size pieces. Trim the stalks into 0.125 in (3.2 mm) thick discs, then cut the discs in half if they’re bigger than bite size.  Even if you don’t plan to eat the stalks, cut them up so you can place them in the bottom of the bowl. This will keep the tender florets from boiling in the water in the bottom of the bowl. An average head of broccoli is roughly 1 lb (450 g) in weight. If your microwave-safe bowl has a lid, secure it on snugly so that most of the steam cannot escape. If you do not have a lid for your dish, use microwave-safe plastic wrap instead. Alternatively, if you prefer not to use plastic wrap, place a microwave-safe plate over the top of the bowl. Make sure it makes a snug seal over the rim of the bowl.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia el brócoli y córtalo en trozos pequeños. Cubre bien el recipiente para atrapar el vapor.


Rinse the grips with water first, then apply a little hand soap. Gently scrub the grips with a bristle brush, then rinse them clean again.  Be sure to dry the grips immediately afterwards with a towel. Never leave steel-shafted clubs in water, even if you need to soak the grip. This can cause rust to accumulate in the nooks and crannies. Keep in mind that you may have to clean the grips more often than that depending on how hot it is, how much you sweat, and how often you use the clubs. If the grips start to look shiny or feel greasy and leave behind black marks on your hands, it is time to clean them. Establish a cleaning routine for your grips. For example, you could clean them on the first day of each month. This will make it easier to remember. Lightly buff the grips lengthwise, from top to bottom, with coarse or medium-grit sandpaper. Rinse the residue off with water, then pat them dry with a towel. This should help restore their texture and may remove some surface dirt as well. Sanding the grips should take care of shiny or cracked spots, but sometimes they get too old and worn. If sanding doesn't fix these problem areas, you should get new grips.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Limpia las empuñaduras con agua, jabón para manos y una escobilla. Repite el procedimiento al menos una vez al mes. Lija las empuñaduras cuando empiecen a desgastarse. Reemplaza las empuñaduras si presentan demasiadas áreas agrietadas, brillantes o desgastadas.


Rinse the lemon, lime, and orange under running water and scrub the peels with a vegetable brush. Pat each dry with a towel and cut the fruits in half. Over a bowl, use a citrus reamer or juicer to remove the juice, and separate the seeds. When the juice has been removed, use your knife to carefully peel the outer layer of zest from each fruit half. Set these aside and discard what's left of the fruit. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cream of tartar, and 1 cup (237 ml) of the water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Once it’s boiling, continue simmering for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and set the syrup aside to cool. Boil the remaining cup (237 ml) of water in a kettle. Transfer the boiling water to a heat-safe bowl and add the zest from the lemon, lime, and orange. Cover the bowl with a towel and set it aside to steep. Let the citrus peels infuse into the water for one to two hours, until the water returns to room temperature. When the citrus water has cooled, strain out the peels and reserve the water. Add the syrup and citrus juices to the citrus-infused water and stir to combine. Although this homemade mixture isn't the same color as Mountain Dew, it will have a similar citrus flavor. You can add some green and yellow food coloring if you want the soda to be a similar color. There are several ways to carbonate drinks at home. The simplest method is adding carbonated water, which you can either buy at the store or make yourself with a home carbonation machine. To carbonate your Mountain Dew this way, add enough carbonated water (up to a gallon (3.8 L)) to achieve the level of fizziness you want for the soda. You can also carbonate your homemade soda using dry ice or champagne yeast.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pela las frutas y sácales el jugo. Haz el jarabe. Haz una infusión con las cáscaras de cítricos en agua hirviendo. Retira los cítricos y combina todos los ingredientes. Carbonata la bebida.


Rinse the rice with cool water to remove some of the outermost starch, and then allow it to continue soaking in the water. Let the rice soak between 30 minutes to 1 hour. For biryani, you want to use basmati rice to give the fullest flavor to the dish. This is the water you are going to cook the rice in. The water must be boiling before you add the rice. Along with the rice, add some other ingredients to give the rice a full flavor, and prevent the rice from sticking:  5 green cardamoms 2 black cardamoms 3 cloves 2 pieces of cinnamon 1 bay leaf 1 piece of mace 1 tsp of ghee 1/2 tsp of salt Stir the ingredients to make sure they are all mixed in, and then cover the rice boil it for 8-10 minutes or until the rice is cooked half to three quarters of the way. Once the rice is cooked half to three quarters, you can take out the whole ingredients you added earlier (cloves, cardamoms, etc.) Since the rice should only be cooked half to a quarter of the way when you take it off the stove, the grains should be soft on the outside but still hard in the middle.  This is because the rest of the rice gets cooked on dum (when you layer the chicken and rice, seal it with dough around the edges to lock in the steam, and put it on a very low flame). You can tell how cooked the rice is by taking a grain and pressing it with your fingers. The rice should break apart into pieces, but still have a hard texture to it. If it is soft and mushes in your fingers, you have cooked it too much. Turn off the heat once you rice is cooked half to three quarters of the way, and let it sit. The hot water will cook the rice a little bit more, without cooking it too much. Add 1/4 tsp saffron to 2 tbsp of warm milk and let it soak for approximately 15 minutes. This saffron mixture will go on top of the rice when you are preparing to cook the final part of the biryani and it will give a nice flavoring. Place 2 cups of chapati flour in a bowl and add approximately 3/4 cup of lukewarm water. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough.  If the dough...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Remoja el arroz. Hierve 8 tazas de agua. Añade el arroz. Revuelve los ingredientes que añadas. Revisa la consistencia del arroz. Apaga el fuego. Prepara la leche de azafrán. Prepara la masa para sellar.


Rinse the rosemary and shake or blot it dry, or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Run the dehydrator at a low heat setting (between 95 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit, or 35 and 40.5 degrees Celsius) until the rosemary stems break when bent.   Herbs that are more delicate crumble when dry, but rosemary leaves are more likely to break, much like the stems. The exact amount of time it takes to dry rosemary using this method will vary, but on average, it takes about 6 to 8 hours at 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). Transfer the dried rosemary to a clean, glass jar and seal tightly. Store in a dry, dark cupboard.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prepara el romero. Reparte el romero en las bandejas del deshidratador. Guárdalo en un frasco de cristal transparente.


Rinse the sprigs in cool water and lay them flat to dry, patting them with a paper towel to speed up the process. You can also use a salad spinner, if you have one. Keep the leaves attached to the stem and spread the sprigs out on the sheet in a single, even layer. Try not to let the sprigs touch each other, as they might freeze together! You can place them directly on the sheet or on a piece of parchment paper. Check on them every half an hour or so and leave them in the freezer until they’re frozen solid. This means you shouldn’t be able to bend them very easily, and that the leaves shouldn’t droop or move at all when you pick up a sprig. Freezing the rosemary first on the tray will allow each sprig to freeze separately and not get stuck to any others. It will also allow for a faster and more thorough freeze than if the sprigs were in a freezer bag. Zip them up tight and press all the air out of the bag to conserve freezer space. Write the date on the container so you’ll know how old the rosemary is if you forget or lose track of it in the freezer. Finally, place your rosemary back in the freezer. Depending on the quality of your freezer, your rosemary should stay fresh for about a year or even longer. Check on it every month or so to see if it’s still good to use, keeping an eye out for signs of browning or mold. When you’re ready to cook with your rosemary, you can grab it right from the freezer bag; no need to let it thaw out.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava y seca el romero. Coloca las ramitas en una bandeja para hornear. Congela el romero por unas cuantas horas. Pon las ramitas congeladas en una bolsa para congelador. Guarda el romero por varios meses, hasta un año.


Rinse the sprigs in cool water and lay them on a paper towel to dry. Use a salad spinner if you have one. Otherwise, simply pat them thoroughly with a second paper towel. Excess water will cause the rosemary to get slimy when you store it, so make sure your sprigs are totally dry. Keep the sprigs whole and uncut. The damp paper towel will prevent them from drying out in the refrigerator. This will protect the sprigs from oxygen, which can cause them to spoil and turn brown. You can use a Ziploc bag or an airtight container. You can write the date on the bag or container so you don’t forget how long your rosemary has been in the refrigerator. Set the humidity to high. With your bag or container firmly sealed, your rosemary should stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. Rosemary is still good as long as it’s green and fresh-looking. When it gets to be black or brown and a little slimy, it’s gone bad.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava el romero. Envuelve el romero con papel toalla húmedo. Coloca las ramitas en una bolsa hermética. Pon la bolsa en el cajón más fresco de tu refrigerador.


Rinse the squash under cool, running water. Scrub it gently with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or grime. Dry the spaghetti squash thoroughly after cleaning it. If the squash is still wet, it may slip around as you attempt to cut it, which could cause you to accidentally cut yourself. . Saw the squash in half lengthwise, working from top to bottom.  To make it easier to keep the squash from rolling around on the cutting board, slice away the top or bottom first. Stand the squash on its now flat end and cut it as it stands. Use a large, heavy kitchen knife. The knife can either be serrated or smooth-bladed, but it needs to be sturdy and sharp either way. Use a metal spoon to scrape away the seeds and stringy pulp. Continue scraping until the inside is clean. You could also use a melon-baller or metal ice cream scoop to remove the inner pulp.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava el calabacín. Usa un cuchillo de cocina pesado y largo. Quítale las semillas.


Rinse the whole oranges under running water. Use a vegetable brush to scrub the skins and remove any dirt or particles. Pat the oranges dry, and then use a sharp knife to cut the top quarters off each orange.  Depending on the size of the oranges, you may be cutting off the top 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of each orange.  Only use as many oranges as you want to make cakes. The cake batter recipe will make enough for eight oranges, but you can reserve leftover cake batter for something else. Use a grapefruit knife or another small knife to cut the flesh of the orange away from the insides of the skin. Cut as close to the skin as you can without cutting into it. Do this with the bottom and cap of each orange. Once you’ve cut the flesh away from the skin, you can use a spoon to scoop out the fruit. Use the spoon to dig away any fruit that may still be stuck to the skin. When you're done, you'll have oranges and caps that are completely hollowed out. You can eat the fruit that you remove from the orange, use it to make juice, or transfer it to an airtight container to eat later.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava y corta las naranjas. Retira la piel de la fruta. Quita la pulpa con una cuchara.


Rinse them thoroughly, then allow the bean sprouts to drain while you prepare the other ingredients. This should be done about an hour before the rest of the recipe is ready. If you're not a fan of bean sprouts, that's completely fine. Some recipes leave them out entirely or replace them with 1 cup of Chinese long beans or green beans. You simply cut them into about 1" (2.5 cm) pieces, boil them for 1 minute, blanch them in ice water for 1 minute more, and set aside. Place 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of oyster sauce in a small mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce, along with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch until it becomes one uniform, thickened consistency. Again, every recipe is different. Some choose to skip the marinade entirely. If you're watching your salt in take, you may want to just stir-fry your chicken (or whatever meat you choose) plain. Place the chicken strips in the oyster sauce mixture and allow the chicken to marinate for 20 to 25 minutes. Continue making your sauce and cutting up your veggies while the chicken marinates.  You can also use this marinade with pork or beef, too. Alternatively, you could use your own marinade if you have a favorite. Tofu and shrimp may also be substituted instead of chicken, though you may want to skip the marinade for those. Place 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth into a mixing bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Blend 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 4 tablespoons (59.1 ml) water, then stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Set the sauce aside once it's thickened. Many recipes make a sauce that's a bit sweeter. Consider adding a tablespoon or two of brown sugar, honey, or half a tablespoon of plain white sugar. Allow the noodles to soften (it should take about 5 to 7 minutes), and then drain the noodles thoroughly, setting aside. The noodles are the most confusing part. Yaki Soba noodles will get you close to what you experience in Chinese take-out...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pon 500 g (1 libra) de brotes de soya frescos en un escurridor. Prepara la marinada. Corta 2 pechugas de pollo en tiras finas. Prepara la salsa para el chow mein. Pon 220 gramos (8 oz) de fideos chinos “mein” en un tazón de agua salada hirviendo.


Rinse your potatoes thoroughly with cold water. If the skins still seem dirty after rinsing, use a vegetable brush or wet dish towel to gently scrub them clean. Pat them dry with a clean towel before cutting them in half. Fill a large mixing bowl with the clean, halved potatoes and pour in your 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of olive oil. Mix them thoroughly, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lava las papas y córtalas por la mitad. Mezcla las papas con aceite de oliva en un tazón grande.


Rinse, trim, and peel all of your vegetables. Chop the onions, potatoes, and tomatoes into small pieces. Grate the beets and carrots into approximately 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) long pieces. Finally, shred the cabbage. Pour 4 to 5 tablespoons (60 to 55 milliliters) of olive oil into a deep frying pan, then add the onions. Fry the onions over medium heat until they turn golden-brown, stirring often. Occasionally stir the mixture with a spatula to prevent burning. Put the tomatoes and beets into the frying pan first. Immediately pour vinegar or lemon juice over the beets to preserve their color and taste. Stir everything together, then cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes over low heat. You can also use canned, diced tomatoes. Be sure to drain them first, however. Pour enough water to fill the pot ½ to ⅔ of the way. Turn the burner to medium heat, and wait for the water to come to a boil. It is better to start with not enough water than too much. Remember, you can always add water later after adding the frying pan contents. Add the potatoes first, then let them cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage next, and let it cook for 2 minutes. Don't drain the fried vegetables—add them to the pot along with their juices. This will help lend the soup even more flavor. How much you use is entirely up to you. Borscht should have a somewhat sour taste, with sweet undertones. If you like your borscht less sweet, you could always use less sugar. Make sure that the lid fits the pot tightly, so that the soup can continue to cook in its own heat. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes. You may want to refrigerate it and reheat it the next day for an even better taste. If you'd like a richer soup, you can add a spoonful of sour cream!

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prepara los vegetales. Fríe las cebollas con aceite a fuego medio. Agrega las zanahorias y cocina de 2 a 3 minutos más. Agrega los tomates, las remolachas y el vinagre o limón a la sartén y cocina de 5 a 10 minutos a fuego lento. Agrega agua en una cacerola grande y ponla a hervir a fuego medio. Agrega las papas y la col a la cacerola. Agrega los vegetales fritos, junto con el ajo, el perejil y el eneldo. Agrega la sal y el azúcar. Espera a que el agua hierva de nuevo, retira la sopa del fuego, cúbrela y deja reposar por 2 horas. Sirve la sopa.


Rip two sheets of 4'x8'x1/8" (door skin plywood) into 24" wide sheets, stack and attach these 24"x 8' sheets together at the top and bottom edges with small nails in a few spots. Lay out the attached panels and mark a vertical line every 12" along the entire 8' length of the plywood. From these 12" vertical lines, measurements are made by marking points on these lines.  A long stick or batten is used to draw a line between these points giving the outlines of the canoe's panels. Make sure the lines drawn for the panels are all fair, smooth curves. Only three panels are needed per side. The four half sheets of 8' plywood are used to make 12 boat panels, then these 12 panels are put together in matching pairs with butt blocks or scarf joints to make up the total 6 panels or 3 per side. Finger joints, using a dovetail template and a router will also make good joints to join the panels. You have to allow for the 1" overlap of each panel when making the finger joint, as this gives the boat an attractive finished look. This system makes a simple but very nice boat and has a recognizable canoe look and shape with a gentle "v" bottom, rather than a flat bottom. Once the panels have been drawn out and checked for nice curving lines, it's time to cut them out using a saber saw.  Once you have cut the panels out, use a woodworkers rasp (file) to smooth up the edges as close to the lines on the panel as possible. A small block plane could be used instead. Now you can put the panel pieces together as stated above with finger joints, scarves or butt blocks. More specific instructions on how to do each of these joints is easily available online. Now that the panels are done, it's time to drill some holes along the bottom edges, about 3/8" from the top and bottom edges of each panel.  This job is easier and faster if you lay the two matching panels (the corresponding panels on either side) together and drill the holes. This boat has only three panels per side, with each of the three being the same on either side of the canoe....
