For a lighter omelette, use 4 egg whites instead. The water will evaporate when you fry the eggs, and help make them fluffier in the end. If you are using whole eggs (instead of whites), make sure that you break the yolks up. You won't be scrambling the eggs once you add them into the frying pan. The butter will start to sizzle and foam. Don't add the eggs yet. Instead, wait until the foam starts to disappear. Once you have the eggs on the pain, continue tilting the pan around until the entire bottom is evenly covered with the egg mixture. If necessary, use the tip of your spatula to help spread the egg mixture across the bottom of the pan. For extra flavor, add 2 chopped, green shallots. This will happen after only a few seconds. Pulling the edges of the omelette away from the pan will allow the raw egg mixture to flow onto the hot pan and cook. As it continues to cook, it will turn opaque and set. Don't "scramble" the omelette during this time, or you will get scrambled eggs instead. Only cover half of the omelette with the mushroom mixture; you will be folding the omelette in half. Don't worry, the omelette will continue to cook, even after you take it off the frying pan. If you'd like some extra flavor, add ¼ cup (25 grams) of shredded cheese. Popular choices include: cheddar, parmesan, and gruyere. Use your spatula to gently separate the edges of the omelette from the frying pan. Then, slip the spatula under the bare side of the omelette, and flip it over onto the mushroom side. If you'd like, you an garnish the omelette with some chopped chives, parsley, or grated cheese. Don't wait too long, however, or the mushrooms will turn greasy and cold.

For a long time, all sparkling wine was referred to as "champagne" until many countries chose to apply the "rules of appellation." This restored the technical designation of champagne so that it referred only to those sparkling wines grown and made in the Champagne region of northeastern France.  Champagne from the Champagne region continues to be the "gold standard" of sparkling wine because the climate is cool and combines with the chalky soil to produce very acidic grapes, ideal for making sparkling wine. Moreover, champagne from this region tends to be aged for years rather than the months of aging allowed for most other varieties.  In other regions where sparkling wine is produced, it tends to be referred to as: Cava in Spain; Sekt in Germany; Spumante or Prosecco in Italy; and sparkling wine in Australia,  the US, New Zealand, and South Africa. Bottle-fermented champagne and sparkling wine have a more labor-intensive production and the price should reflect this, while carbonated styles should be a lot cheaper. Mostly you get what you pay for with champagne and sparkling wine – so the more you pay, the better the experience. Different methods can be used to create champagne, including the method champenoise, charmat, or cube close, which require varied lengths of time of fermentation in the bottle. A less time- and labor-intensive process is that of carbonating a still wine (known in some places as "carbonated pop wines"), which can still produce a pleasant sparkling wine. Most, but not all, sparkling wine is white and dry (brut) following the French Champagne style, while others are sweet in the Italian Asti Spumante style. You can also try prosecco, which is sparkling wine made in the Veneto region of Italy. If you fancy a little color for your dinner party, there are also some rosé sparkling wines (pinkish to red shades), as well as some red sparkling wines from such places as Australia and Argentina. While there is a wide variety available to choose from, some good choices include:  Champagne: Dom...

For a moist, juicy barbecued brisket, choose a piece of meat that has a layer of fat approximately ½-inch (1.27-cm) thick on one side. Purchase a 5 to 6 pound (2.25 to 2.75 kg) brisket with a thick layer of fat to ensure a successful barbecue.  For best results, opt for a brisket that's USDA Choice or better meat. Your butcher may not have those pieces of meat on display, so you may need to ask for it. In some cases, you may even need to special order it.  Look for a brisket with visible fat striations to ensure a moist piece of meat. Unwrap your brisket, and allow it to rinse under cold, running water for several minutes. Carefully pat the meat dry with paper towels, and set it aside for a moment. If the layer of fat on the brisket is thicker than ½-inch (1.27-cm), use a sharp knife to trim it down. You can go as thin as ¼-inch (0.6-cm). In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (17 g) of coarse salt, such as kosher or sea salt, 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (7.5 g) of chili powder, 2 teaspoons (4 g) of sugar, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon (3 g) of ground cumin until well combined. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket so it’s completely coated. You can add other spices or seasoning to your rub, depending on your preference. Some options to consider include dry mustard, granulated garlic, cayenne powder, dried oregano, and paprika. Once you’ve rubbed the brisket with the spice mixture, cover it with plastic wrap. Allow it to cure in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours so the flavors of the spices have time to penetrate the meat. You can skip this step if you’re short on time. The brisket will still be flavorful if you cook it right after applying the rub.

For a person with hazel eyes, this can mean different things. Some people tend to have more greenish-blue eyes, while others have more greenish-brown eyes. Either way, choose a shade that is slightly different than the color of your eyes. For example, a forest green sweater can accentuate the olive green color of your eyes. If you wear glasses, you can choose frames that will accentuate your eye color. To bring out the green in your eyes, try choosing frames that are in the red or purple family, or even dark green frames. To bring out the gold tones, try dark shades of purple or even plum. Opt for neutral and dusky shades like cream, gray, sand, and dusty pink. Dark purples and greens also look great. For example, an emerald green or royal purple will accentuate your eyes. Typically, it will be best if the article of clothing used to accentuate your eyes is your shirt (or a dress). There are a wide variety of accessories you can use to accentuate your eyes.  For example, try a scarf or hat in which is in the purple, green, or gold family. If you wear earrings, you can try the same with that, too. Accessories that are worn closer to your face will play a bigger role than items that aren't. So if you're trying to emphasize your eyes, you should choose earrings, a scarf, or a hat instead of something like a bracelet or your shoes.

For a phone interview, it is very important to be in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Turn off your phone, television, radio, and anything else that may make noise. Even though your interviewer can't see you, you should still dress nicely and try to maintain good body language during your phone interview. This will help you fel more confident, which can come across in your voice. Smiling is very important too because it can help your voice sound more positive. Have your resume in front of you during your interview so it will be easy to answer questions about specifics, like dates. It's also a good idea to prepare some written answers to questions ahead of time. You don't want to sound like you're reading from a script, but a list of attributes and experiences can help you answer questions more confidently. You are able to take more detailed notes during a phone interview than you are during an in-person interview, so take advantage of this! Jot down notes to remind you of questions that you would like to ask your interviewer later on so you're sure not to forget.

For a savory flavor, mix in 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, ground turmeric, or masala powder. This works best when added to the traditional salty lassi. For a flavorful addition to the traditional sweet lassi, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom powder or ginger, for some kick. Start with a traditional sweet lassi and blend in some of your favorite fruits. Consider mixing in strawberries, papaya, bananas, or coconut. Try chopping and freezing the fruit before blending it into the lassi. This will make your drink colder and frothier. While most lassi drinks are yogurt based, you can swap out the yogurt and water or milk for coconut milk. This will give a slightly tropical flavor to the drink. Or you could flavor the lassi with rose water syrup, vanilla extract, or honey. Don't choose too many flavors or they could make the drink too sweet. If you stick to one or two flavors, they'll be more pronounced. Top your lassi with any of the following for extra flavor and a more polished look:  chopped pistachios sprigs of mint sprinkle of turmeric or cumin chopped almonds fruit sliver

For a small- to medium-sized car, you’ll need 1 gallon (3.8 L) of primer, 3 gallons (11 L) of base coat, and 2 to 3 gallons (7.6 to 11.4 L) of clear coat. For larger vehicles, double those amounts.  If you want to match your car’s original color, check your car’s compliance plate to find the color code. You can give that to an auto paint store and they’ll be able to match the color for you. It’s always better to have a little extra paint rather than too little. Remember that you can save excess paint for touch-ups. You will need a respirator, protective eyewear, disposable gloves, and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Check the manufacturer’s instructions on the primer, base coat, and clear coat for any other safety stipulations. If you don’t own a respirator, you may be able to rent one from your local hardware store. Depending on the weather, you could definitely work outside—just make sure to check that the weather forecast will be clear for a few days. If you live in an area with high humidity, it will take longer for each coat of paint to dry, so consider working climate-controlled space if you can—just ensure you’re working somewhere that has good ventilation. Working in the right temperature will help the paint dry properly. with dish soap and water and dry it with a lint-free towel. Grab a big bucket and fill it with warm water and a few squirts of dish detergent. Then use a large sponge and wash your car, starting at the top and working your way to the bottom. Once the entire car has been washed, use a lint-free towel to dry it off thoroughly. The car needs to be completely free of wax, oil, and dirt, and the dish soap is gentle enough to clean everything off without leaving a soapy residue. If you have a sander, load the sandpaper into it and work on sanding out any areas that have rust or that are scratched up. You’ll be sanding the entire body of the car later, but this pre-step will help prep those areas to receive the primer, base, and clear coats. Sand corners and small crevices by...

For a standard double shot of espresso, you'll need 18 to 21 grams of coffee beans. One of the keys to a good espresso shot is the grind of the beans. The espresso process requires very fine coffee grounds that are close to a powder. Transfer the beans to the grinder and grind them until you have grounds that are roughly the same size as salt grains. Once you’ve ground the beans, remove the portafilter from the group head and transfer the grounds to the portafilter. Don’t worry if the portafilter is overflowing slightly. Use your finger to distribute the grounds and level off the top. Brush any excess grounds into a bowl or knock box. To tamp the coffee and create a compressed espresso puck in the portafilter, you have to:  Hook the portafilter onto the ledge of a counter to keep it in place. Place the tamper on top of the grounds. Hold your tamping arm perpendicular to the floor, so your elbow is at a 90-degree angle. Your wrist, arm, and elbow should all be in the same line as the portafilter. Apply 30 pounds of pressure evenly to the tamper to create a level bed of espresso grounds. Remove the tamper and check that the espresso is even and flat. Lock the portafilter into its position in the group head. Place a glass cup below the spout. Turn on the water. This will force the water through the compressed coffee in the portafilter, and the espresso will pour out the spout and into the cup. The full extraction should take about 25 to 30 seconds. The ideal shot of espresso will have a rust-colored crema on top and a dark espresso on the bottom. You can serve the espresso in the cup you poured the shot into, but be sure to stir it first if you do. Otherwise, transfer the shot to another glass or cup for serving, especially if you're going to be making a latte, cappuccino, or other espresso-based drink. Stirring or transferring the shot helps to distribute the crema throughout the liquid.

For a standard game of ladder golf, buy 24 solid golf balls (ideally, 12 of one color and 12 of another) and about 28 feet (8.5 m) of thin nylon rope.  You'll also need a drill with a 3/8- or 1/2-inch bit (1 to 1.3 cm) Place the golf balls in a vise grip, or create one of your own by jamming it between two heavy objects (such as a dresser and a wall).  Drill all the way through each golf ball with the 3/8- or 1/2-inch (1 to 1.3 cm) bit in a straight line. Once each golf ball has been drilled, string it onto the 28-foot nylon cord.  Order them in colored pairs, i.e., 2 pink, 2 orange, 2 orange, 2 pink, etc. Tie an overhand knot at one end of the cord, and move a golf ball down to it.  Tie another knot on the other side of the golf ball.  Measure about 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from that knot, and tie another one.  String a second golf ball of the same color down to that knot.  Tie a fourth knot on the other side of the second golf ball. Cut the nylon rope after the fourth knot.  You should have your first bola, with a golf ball on each end and about a foot of nylon rope in between. Tie a knot on each side of a golf ball, and leave about a foot of rope between them.  Cut off bolas when they're finished. Use a match or a lighter to slightly melt the knots at the ends of each bola.  This will help keep the knots secure.

For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor fitted with metal blades instead. For a sweeter smoothie, use vanilla yogurt. For a less sweet smoothie, use plain yogurt. You can also omit the milk and use more yogurt for an even thicker smoothie. The cinnamon will add a hint of spice and flavor to the smoothie, while the honey will add a touch of sweetness. The peanut butter will add some extra protein. If you are using peanut butter, be sure to use the smooth kind; it will be much easier to blend than the chunky kind. If you like your smoothies extra cold and thick, add some ice cubes. Occasionally, pause the blender and push the ingredients down the walls of the blender. This will ensure that everything gets evenly mixed and that no lumps remain. You can enjoy it as it is, or you can garnish it with a sprinkle of oatmeal, a dash of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey.

For a time, it can be helpful to put the things that remind you of the unresolved past experience in a box. Get a large box and throw into it anything that reminds you of a past failed relationship, a job that left you feeling sore. Anything physical that reminds you of troubling experiences should go in the box. After some time has passed, decide whether this box should be tossed or stored. Either way, you are coming to a conclusion about its contents that they can no longer influence you. Putting words and names to emotions and unresolved experiences can make them more tangible. This can help you better manage your feelings.  You could, for instance, write a letter to a person or people in the past who hurt you or experienced a difficult event with you. Being able to engage with such people from your past can be quite helpful, even if they are not actually present for you to converse with.  You could write or speak poetry or prose. Anything that allows you to let out the feelings you are holding on to from the past is fine. No matter how horrid the words are that come to mind, let them out. While you're going through the healing process, try to be aware of the triggers that can send you back to past habits. This can include experiences like coming in contact a person who hurt you. Sometimes even watching a movie that reminds you of an unresolved experience can be a trigger.  When you are exposed to such a situation, use the techniques described above. Actively aim to put a hold on habitual reactions and challenge yourself to do things differently. This also means avoiding making decisions in haste that you may regret later. For example, think carefully before cutting off ties with somebody in your family or sending someone notes filled with anger. Before quitting something you have been doing for a long time, such as a job, give this careful consideration.  Some of these choices might end up being the path you take after thinking it through. Initially though, this exercise is about strengthening yourself to...

For a tutu that you sew, you will need to get plenty of fabric. For a small child’s tutu, get between 2–4 yards (1.8–3.7 m). A medium sized tutu can be made using 5–7 yards (4.6–6.4 m), and a large one with 8–10 yards (7.3–9.1 m). You will also need elastic for the waistband, matching thread, and a sewing machine.  You can hand stitch your tutu, but it will take a very long time and a lot of effort. For a short skirt, your tulle needs to be at least 54” thick. Find tulle that is wider than this for a longer tutu. Fold your the entire piece of your tulle in half width-wise (making your 54” into 27”). Then, fold your skirt in half again in the same direction, thus creating four layers of tulle. Wrap the elastic band around your waist where you want the tutu to sit. Pull the elastic taut so that there is no space between it and your skin. Cut the elastic to this length, with no overlap of the ends. Sew directly across the length of the tulle using a straight stitch, about 2” (or slightly wider than your elastic) down from the top of the fold. You should be sewing along the edge of the tulle that you have folded twice, through all four layers of tulle. Use a crochet hook or similarly long, sturdy device to scrunch up the tulle along the top by the casing. When it has been pushed together, slide the elastic through the casing. Make sure to keep both ends outside of the casing; a safety pin can be used to keep the elastic in place as you pull it through. Pull the two ends of the elastic together, and sew them together about ¼ an inch from the edge with a straight stitch. Then fold the loose ends back onto the elastic waistband and sew them flat with a zig-zag stitch. Your tutu is nearly finished, but needs to be sewn together along the back side where the two ends of the tulle meet. Pin the edges of the tulle together, and sew down about ¼ of an inch from the edge with a straight stitch. Make sure to sew through all four layers of fabric, and not just the top layer. Separate all the layers of the tutu with your...

For a wooden block ornament, you have the freedom to use up to 6 different pictures. Sort through your photos and set aside your favorites. Trim each photo so that it will fit squarely on the face of the block with a small portion of the block visible around the edges.  These can all be recent images, or you could select one photo from throughout the years for each side of the block to show how the subject has grown and matured. Making a wooden block ornament is like a unique form of scrapbooking that you can show off during the holidays. Paint the faces of the block with an array of colors and patterns, or glue a square of patterned paper onto each side for a stylish collage effect. Or, if you prefer, you can leave the wooden surface plain or finished with a thin coat of stain to preserve the more rustic, down-home look. The block base is a blank canvas for this project, which means you’re free to be as imaginative as you want.  Shop around for dazzling glitter and metallic paints, instead of ordinary solid colors. These will stand out more beneath the photos. Get creative decorating the block. Use found materials like newspaper or eye-catching bits of fabric in place of ordinary paint, or to create stylish borders for each photo. Apply a thin layer of craft glue (a glue stick could also work well for this purpose) to the back of each photo and line them up with the faces of the block. Press down firmly on the picture to stick it in place. Run the pad of your finger over the surface of the photo to make sure it holds. Work with a craft glue that isn’t too thick or runny and only use a small amount to keep from ruining the photo. Dab a little acrylic sealant onto each face of the block and use a thin paintbrush or sponge to spread a thin coat over the photo and wooden edges. Not only will this guarantee that the photo will stay right where you want it, it will also provide a permanent glossy finish. Let the acrylic sealant dry completely before hanging or handling the ornament.  Applying a sealant will...

For all parts of the design, you want the tomahawk to have some heft, especially if you plan to throw it at targets. For this reason, construction paper or even a fairly flexible cardstock will work best, but you can use plain 8.5”x11” printer paper if you use two or even three sheets of paper. Line the sheets up perfectly even and roll them into a tube. You want to roll along the 8.5” axis so that the tube is still 11” long. The diameter of the tube should be fairly small, so roll it tight. The diameter shouldn’t be more than about 1/2” to 3/4”. Place three small pieces of tape along the edge of the tube to hold it together. One piece in the middle and one along each end will work fine for now. You don’t have to get fancy with the tape either. Scotch tape will do. Since the paper design doesn’t have the weight and heft to rotate end over end very well when you throw it, you can flatten the handle to help make the shape a bit more aerodynamic. Simply set the tube down flat on your work surface, squish it down, and crease the flattened shape. With a pair of scissors, take one end of the flattened handle and cut a 1” slit down the crease where you flattened it. The two slits should be exactly across from one another in a straight line that is parallel to the flat side of the handle.

For an electric water heater, you’ll need to locate the circuit breaker that controls the heater and turn it on. If the breaker isn’t labeled, look for a double-pole breaker that has the same amp rating as the heater. Simply switch on the breaker to turn on the electric water heater. The amp rating should be labeled on the water tank. It will take your water heater several hours to completely heat up, so check it periodically by turning on a faucet to make sure it’s getting warm. The recommended temperature is 120 °F (49 °C). It's important to make sure the gas is turned off before starting up your tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters will need to be turned on by flipping the corresponding breaker, or by flipping on a switch. Once you've turned on the power, you can adjust the temperature using the temperature controller, which is often digital. Turn the gas supply on, and that's it!  Tankless water heaters operate on-demand, so it will only start heating water once you need to use it. Since these water heaters are tankless, you don't need to fill them up with water.

For best quality, you should obtain a pigment printer that is used primarily for producing high-quality prints. A pigment printer will place the ink on top of the paper, whereas a dye printer sinks the ink into the paper. The difference can be quite significant in terms of how long the photo will last. Pigment-printed photos are rated for 200 years, whereas dye-printed photos can fade within a few months or years, depending on sunlight exposure. The 4" x 6" and 5" x 7" photographs are ideal for albums and scrapbooks. The 8.5" x 11" or 8" x 10" photo paper works well for printing 8" x 10" photographs that you plan on framing or displaying, including family portraits and wedding photos. When printing the photos, purchase the photo paper of the size that you would like, then select the size from the print menu or on the printer itself, if it has an interactive screen.  Load the photo paper into the tray of the printer. There should be an instruction manual to point out where the paper tray is. If you don't have the manual, these can often be found online with a quick Google search. You may have to purchase a special printer that can accommodate larger prints if that is what you desire. You can choose a glossy or matte finish, or a finish somewhere in between the two. The “finish” refers to how shiny the photograph will be once it is printed onto the photo paper. Glossy paper will give you deep, vibrant colors. A matte paper offers you a rich texture and resists fingerprints. A luster finish will be between matte and glossy.  Glossy is great for showing the details and colors of the photo but is susceptible to glare when a light is reflecting off the surface of the photo. It is also prone to retaining fingerprints if someone handles the photo with greasy or sticky fingers. Luster is popular with professional portrait photographers, particularly for wedding and family portraits. The balance between glossy and matte makes for a nice, professional finish. Matte finishes are great for reducing the glare on a...

For best results, choose a pair that is roughly the same shade as the pillowcase used for the tunic. The pants should be fairly tight rather than baggy. Semi-baggy pants will work as long as they fit, but pants that are just wide enough to slip on and off are ideal.  If desired, you can slim the pants by having the intended wearer try them on and pinning along the sides to desired tightness. Turn the pants inside out and sew along the pin-line. Finally, cut off the excess material and turn the pants right-side-out again. Cut two long strips of canvas, felt, or another strong fabric in a shade that matches the pants as closely as possible. The strips should be long enough to extend from the waist to the hem of the pants along the sides. To create the fringe, cut 1-inch (2.5-cm) slits along one side of the strip. Space the slits approximately a 1/2-inch (1.25-cm) apart.  The strips should be about 1.5 inches (3.8-cm) wide. If you’re short on time, you can also use store-bought fringe. Use fabric glue or a needle and thread to attach the strips of fringe to the sides of both pant legs. If you want to make sure that the pants can be worn multiple times, it’s best to sew on the fringe.   Glue or sew along the 1/2-inch (1.25-cm) wide section of the band that does not have fringe on it, and apply it over the side seam on each pants leg. If you prefer to wear a skirt with your costume, add the fringe all along the hem of a brown or tan skirt instead.

For best results, find an old, smelly, beat up leather jacket or vest. Vintage and resale shops are often your best bet to find a good leather jacket or vest. If you can't find old leather biker gear you can buy a new leather jacket and beat it up until it looks like it has been on the road for years. Guys and ladies should both own a pair of leather boots. Boots should be black or brown and have a buckle around the outside ankle and up around the top of the boot and a heel to help grip the pegs of the bike.  Boots for men should go up to the mid-calf. A biker girl can wear boots that go up higher to around the knees. The bigger the better. Worn denim jeans in black or grey will do. Guys should avoid skinny jeans or baggy jeans. Slim-fit or boot-cut jeans will be pretty convincing. Distressed denim jeans will work well for ladies as long as they are tight.  Holes in the jeans are optional. Consider adding some tears or rips to the jeans to create the right impression. A denim biker jacket can be a nice change of pace from your leather jacket. A denim biker jacket should have large flaps across the chest and at least three zipper pockets on the front. Wearing a black leather belt with your denim jeans is always a classy touch. Avoid wearing too much denim at once. Ladies should consider a short, tight black skirt with a denim jacket. Guys might want to go with some grey or black work pants when wearing a denim jacket to maintain a nice balance. Whenever possible select black clothing. Black boots, black jacket, black shirt and jeans should make up most of your closet. It is possible to mix in a white shirt, or blue jeans, but try to avoid wearing that much color at the same time. Bright, cheerful colors can give off the wrong impression. Ladies can wear jeans or skirts, and boots. Plus lots of biker jewelry, handbags and accessories. Fringes are fun and leather is necessary.

For both in-line and bibliographic citation, you’ll need to know basic information about its creation.  Journal Articles: You’ll need to copy down the author’s name, title of the article, name of the journal, volume number, issue number, date of publication, page numbers of the physical copy, and the web address of the journal article. Ebooks: You’ll want to know the author’s name, the title of the book, the publisher, place of publication, year of publication, date accessed, and website where the ebook can be located. On occasion, publishers of physical books will out-source the production of ebooks. If this is the case, a separate publisher will be listed for the ebook version. You’ll need to have information for both publishers. The most commonly used styles in academic and professional writing are MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual of Style (sometimes also called “Turabian” after the style manual’s editor). Choose the style used by your field, or the style stated as preferred by your profession or workplace.  Use MLA if you study literature, arts, or the general humanities. Use APA if you study psychology, education, linguistics, or other social sciences. Journalism and communications often use APA style as well. Use Chicago Manual of Style if you study history, political science, information science, or journalism and communications. Publishing and editing commonly use a form of Chicago style. In certain cases,the publisher may request a specific citation style that is not commonly used in the field, or may refer you to their own “in-house” style guide. Use whatever is appropriate for your writing. If you want to avoid charges of plagiarism, you’ll insert a citation into the body of your text. Your goal is to tell the reader that the information just presented is taken from another author. It shows the reader that you are well-versed in the existing literature and that you are interested in building off of others’ work. Where the citation goes, and the type of citation, depends on what style you are using....

For cases of cirrhosis, most mild to moderate cases are handled on an outpatient basis, with some exceptions.  If the patient has major gastrointestinal bleeding, severe infection or sepsis, kidney failure, or altered mental status, treatment in the hospital is required.  The doctor will likely ask you to abstain from alcohol, drugs, and medications if you have liver toxicity. The doctor will evaluate this on an individual basis.  Additionally, certain herbs like kava and mistletoe can cause further damage to your liver.  Discuss all herbal/alternative treatments you are currently taking with your doctor. Your doctor will immunize you against pneumococcal disease, influenza, and hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Your doctor will also establish the NASH protocol for you, in which you will be put on a plan for weight reduction, exercise, and optimal control of lipids and glucose (fats and sugars/carbohydrates). As discussed in previous sections, many underlying causes lead to cirrhosis.  The medication your doctor prescribes will be very customized and specific to your precise case.  These drugs will treat underlying causes (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, biliary cirrhosis, etc.) as well as the symptoms that result from cirrhosis and subsequent liver failure. Doctors don't always suggest surgery, but may recommend it if certain conditions arise from the cirrhosis. These conditions include:  Varices, or dilated blood vessels and can be treated with ligation (surgically tying off the vessel). Ascites, an abdominal fluid buildup that's treated with paracentesis, a draining procedure. Fulminant hepatic failure, a rapid onset of encephalopathy (alteration of brain structure/function within 8 weeks of diagnosed liver cirrhosis). This condition calls for a liver transplant.  Hepatocellular carcinoma is the development of liver cancer. Attempts at treatment include radiofrequency ablation, resection (surgical removal of the carcinoma), and liver transplant. After a diagnosis of cirrhosis, people can usually expect 5-20 years of...

For colored smoke, just add some powdered (aniline) dye to your mixture. Be sure to use powdered dye, as liquid dye won’t give you vibrancy of color in the smoke. You can get aniline dye at most art or craft stores. ” Instead of using a soda can, wait for the liquid mixture to harden a little bit and treat it like cookie dough. When it’s the consistency of cookie dough, spoon it into little balls, wrap the ball in tin foil, and stick a small fuse into the ball. Add some baking soda to the mixture immediately after removing it from the stovetop. This will make your grenade burn more evenly and slowly. For this variation, you will want a ratio of 9 parts potassium nitrate for every six parts sugar for every 1-part baking soda (9:6:1).

For dip dying fresh flowers, you’ll need to use specialty florist dip dye. This is available online and from some wholesale florists. Your florist can order this for you. Typically, these dyes come in ten colors, but you can easily mix dyes to get the right color. Because you’ll be coating the outside of the flower petals with dye instead of having them absorb it, you can use nearly any color and species of flower. Dip dye isn’t totally opaque though, so keep in mind that white/pale flowers will have a bright, bold hue while darker colored flowers will end up a rich, dark hue. Choose flowers that are fully in bloom, so that each of the petals will have easy access to the dye. You can create very dark flowers by using dark blooms to start; red flowers dipped in purple dye will end up a dark plum color, for example.

For down jackets that recommend handwashing, or if you don’t feel comfortable washing yours in the machine, you can also wash them by hand. Fill a sink with cold water and the recommended portion of down-safe soap. You can use a large sink, laundry tub, or bath tub to wash your down jacket. Press the jacket down into the water to get it saturated with soapy water. Using your hands, gently agitate the jacket back and forth in the water to release dirt. Then, let it soak for 15 minutes. When your jacket is wet and heavy, avoid picking it up to prevent damage. After 15 minutes, push the jacket away from the drain and drain the soapy water from the tub. Without picking the jacket up, rinse the jacket and tub with clean water. Refill the tub with clean water and soak the jacket for five to 10 minutes. Then, push the jacket away from the drain again and let the water out. Pour some additional water over the jacket to remove the last of the soap. Use your hands to squeeze the jacket and remove excess water before picking it up to dry it.

For each cup (240 mL) of caramel sauce that you need to thicken, run 1 tbsp (14.7 mL) of cold water into a measuring cup, and slowly stir in 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Pour the cornstarch mixture into your pot caramel sauce, and stir constantly. Keep the sauce on low heat until it begins to thicken. Then remove the sauce from the stove and let it cool. If you want to thicken your caramel sauce with flour, start by filling a measuring cup with ¼ cup (60 mL) of cold water for each cup (240 mL) of caramel sauce that you want to thicken. Mix 2 tbsp (30 mL) into the cold water. Then add the flour mixture into the thin caramel sauce. Stir the sauce regularly until it takes on a thicker consistency. If you want a thickener that will not alter the glossy color of the caramel, try tapioca flour (not pearls). Simply add small amount to your sauce to thicken it. Start with about 1 tsp (5 mL) and whisk it into the sauce until fully dissolved. If the sauce still isn’t thick enough, add another tsp of tapioca flour. Keep in mind that adding ingredients to your caramel sauce other than sugar and milk (and a little salt) may slightly alter the taste of the sauce.

For each item on your menu, figure out how much it costs you to make the dish. For example, the breakdown for a cheeseburger might be as follows: $0.21 for the bun; $0.06 for 1 oz. mayonnaise; $0.06 for 1 onion slice; $0.14 for 2 tomato slices; $0.80 for 8 oz. burger meat; $0.02 for ¼ oz. ketchup and mustard; $0.04 for 4 pickle slices; $0.06 for 1 oz. lettuce; $0.18 for 2 slices American cheese; and $0.23 for a side of French fries. Your food cost for the cheeseburger on the menu is $1.83.  Multiply the food cost for each item by how many portions of that item is sold every week. Add all of those sums together to find your total cost. For our example, let's say you have a total cost of $3,000. That's how much money you spent to make the food that went out of your kitchen this week. Make sure that all of your items are carefully portion controlled. This will help to ensure that every chef serves the same meal at the same cost. Now that you've calculated how much money you spent to feed your customers, you need to figure out how much money you made off of each item in the process. For each menu item, multiply the sales price by how many portions of that items were sold in a week. Add the sale amounts for every item on your menu together to calculate your total sales. In our example, let's say you took in $8,000 in total sales for the week. To calculate your potential food cost, multiply the total cost by 100, then divide that number by your total sales. In our example, we would complete the following equation: ($3,000 X 100) ÷ $8,000 = 37.5. Our potential food cost is 37.5% of our budget. You now know how much money you can make off your menu items in a given week. Compare that against your maximum allowable food cost to figure out if your menu's prices need adjustment. In our case, the maximum allowable food cost from Part 1 is 25%, and our potential food cost is 37.5% We have a big problem! We need to bring up our total sales so that the potential food cost percentage comes down, reaching the 25% figure we're...

For every 1⁄4 pound (0.11 kg) hamburger that is produced in fast food restaurants, approximately 55 square feet (5.1 square meters) of rainforest land is destroyed. That's about the size of a small kitchen! Deforested rainforest land is being turned into grazing pasture for cows. You can help to save the rainforest by choosing to eat less meat.  Start by having one meat-free day each week, then expand to two days. You can make a dent by simply cutting the amount of meat you consume in half. You can make a huge contribution by choosing to live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. Oil companies, with the intention of extracting oil from this land, have purchased much of the land in the Peruvian Amazon. When you purchase oil and other petroleum products, you support these companies and further the demand for such oil. You can help save the rainforest by reducing your use of oil.  Purchase a hybrid or electric car. Ride your bike instead of driving. Turn down the temperature in your house by 1 °F (−17 °C). Avoid Styrofoam, ballpoint pens, and bubble gum. When you use pesticides, you support multinational pesticide manufacturers, who contribute to rainforest degradation. Furthermore, any use of pesticides contributes to the loss of non-GMO crops worldwide. The use of pesticides and GMOs in the rainforest have led to significant damage to the delicate ecosystems. When you consume only certified organic fruit, vegetables, and other products, you help save the rainforest by supporting sustainable farming practices.

For every ounce of gold that you want to refine, you will need 300 milliliters in container capacity. Use containers large heavy-gauge plastic buckets or Pyrex Vision Ware pots. Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from the acid. Wear the gloves as you handle any of the chemicals mentioned in this article. Wear a rubber apron to protect your clothing. Wear goggles to protect your eyes. Consider wearing a face mask to prevent the inhalation of noxious fumes. The acid reactions in the aqua regia process produce strong and noxious fumes that are extremely dangerous. Allow the acid to react with the gold for 30 minutes. Allow the solution to sit overnight until all of the acid fumes have been dispelled. Make sure that none of the particles are poured out with the acid as they will contaminate the gold. The acid should have a clear emerald green color. If the color is murky, then you should probably pour it through a Buchner filter funnel.

For every teaspoon of baking powder needed, add ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar. Add a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk until they are evenly mixed. You can also add a ¼ teaspoon of cornstarch if desired. If you are making this to bake with later, or if you have any left over afterward, use an airtight container for storage. Keep moisture out to avoid the mixture from clumping up unevenly. Keep the container in a refrigerator. If your mixture has been in the pantry or cabinet for a while, make sure that the ingredients needed for leavening your waffle are still active. Heat some water in a pot until it starts to steam. Sprinkle some of the mixture into the water. If the water starts to fizz upon contact, the chemicals are still active. If not, a new batch is required.

For example, "I installed 1 door of the 2 doors I bought." The plural "doors" indicates that more than 1 door was purchased. For example, "The boy's dog chased the girls down the street." The possessive "boy's" shows that the boy owns the dog that chased the girls. Add an apostrophe and an “s” to change a word into the possessive form of that word. Most words will follow the basic guidelines for transforming a word into a plural or possessive form.  However, there are some words that do not follow the rules.  It takes time and practice to identify if a word is an exception.  Having a quality dictionary is helpful in these situations.

For example, blow across the disk. Or, use a soft brush to remove any specks from the disk before you polish it. Choose something like a cloth used to clean eyeglasses with. Dampen it. In a pinch, you can use a wet piece of toilet paper. (Make sure that it is soft and not the slightly abrasive ultra-cheap stuff.) (Not the side with the name and picture.) Use a dry polishing cloth, or other lint-free cloth. Do not use toilet paper or paper towels, as the rough surface on the paper can damage the disk further. An old clean T-shirt works well. With luck, it should work. If not, try cleaning it again, to a maximum of 5 times.

For example, compare the fraction 3/5 and the fraction 2/3. Write these next to each other on the page: 3/5 on the left, and 2/3 on the right. In our example, the top number, or numerator, of the first fraction (3/5) is 3. The bottom number, or denominator, of the second fraction (2/3) is also 3. Multiply these together: 3 x 3 = ? This method is called cross-multiplication, because you multiply numbers in a diagonal line across from each other. Write the product, or answer to your multiplication problem, next to the first fraction on the page. In our example, 3 x 3 = 9, so you would write 9 next to the first fraction, on the left side of the page. To find out which fraction is larger, we'll need to compare our answer above with the answer to another multiplication problem. Multiply these two numbers together. For our example (comparing 3/5 and 2/3), multiply 2 x 5 together. Write the answer to this second multiplication problem next to the second fraction. In this example, the answer is 10. The answers to the multiplication problems in this method are called cross-products. If one cross-product is larger than the other, then the fraction next to that cross-product is also larger than the other fraction. In our example, because 9 is less than 10, this means 3/5 must be less than 2/3. Remember, always write the cross-product next to the fraction whose top number you used. To compare two fractions, typically you transform them to give them the same denominator, or lower part of the fraction. Secretly, this is what cross-multiplication does! It just skips over actually writing the denominators, since once the two fractions have the same one, you only need to compare the top two numbers. Here's our same example (3/5 vs 2/3), written without the cross-multiplying "shortcut":  3/5=(3x3)/(5x3)=9/15 2/3=(2x5)/(3x5)=10/15 9/15 is less than 10/15 Therefore, 3/5 is less than 2/3

For example, imagine you see a clean 1987 BMW e30 sell for $2,500 at an auction. While this is far too high to buy and sell for a profit, you'll know that a similar car on sale for $1,500 might be a good investment later on. And, when you sell it, you can comfortably keep the price at $2,000 or higher, knowing someone will pay that much.  Watch or check out car auctions and car sale shows to get a good idea of prices on a variety of cars. Check into car appraisal sites regularly and watch the newspapers for car sales even when you're not in the market. The more cars and prices you see, the sharper your sales mind will become. If you're working with other people trying to make a profit you're going to both be fighting for every penny. But people who just want a car off of their hands, or buyers who want a car to get them around without hassle, are going to be much easier to negotiate with.  When buying cars, looks for phrases like "getting rid of," "need to make some quick cash," or other indicators that someone wants the car gone, no matter what the price. When selling cars, pay attention to those that move quickly or seem excited before they've even seen the car. Be sure to ask why or what they want the car for, as this can clue you into their financial situation. Desperation signals good deals. Buying and selling cars isn't for the faint of heart. If you want to make any money in this game, you're going to have to learn to negotiate. While everyone has different strategies, the best overarching principle is to be honest with yourself beforehand. Ask yourself two questions -- what do you want to pay for the car, ideally, and what is the maximum you're willing to pay. Start a little lower than the first number, and work your way slowly to the second.  Be honest with the seller, "I can only buy/sell this car for $1,200 -- can you meet me there?" If they can't, you can walk away. Always have the cash on hand, and ask potential buyers to do the same. If you can pay right on the spot, you can often get them to...

For example, the word Caesar is pronounced KAI-sar. This holds true for all two-syllable words. Latin poets relied on this classification to build their meter. Most Latin students learn to recite poetry eventually, and learning it early helps you with pronunciation as well:  If a syllable has a long vowel or a diphthong, it is heavy. If a syllable is followed by a double consonant, it is heavy. The letter x counts as a double consonant (ks). If neither of those is true, the syllable is light. (Some teachers refer to this as "long" and "short" syllables, but it's important not to confuse them with long and short vowels.) The second-to-last syllable of a word is called the penult. If this syllable is heavy, stress it.   Abutor (I squander) is pronounced ah-BOO-tor because the penult has a long vowel.  Occaeco (I make blind) is pronounced ok-KAI-ko because the penult has a diphthong (ae).  Recusandus (that which must be rejected) is pronounced reh-koo-SAN-dus because the penult is followed by a double consonant (nd). If the penult is a light syllable (meaning it has a short vowel and is not followed by a double consonant), it is unstressed. Stress the third-to-last syllable instead, called the antepenult.  Praesidium (guard) is pronounced prai-SI-di-um. The penult is light, so the accent falls on the syllable before it. These are rare or low priority corner cases that many Latin students never learn. If you plan to time travel back to ancient Rome, you can impress Caesar with these signs of an excellent accent:  Double consonants are pronounced twice: reddit (she gives back) is "red-dit," not "re-dit". "bt" and "bs" are pronounced "pt" and "ps."  "gn" was pronounced "ngn" as in "wing nut."  Some scholars think the letter "m" at the end of a word nasalized the final vowel, as in modern French, and that the combinations "ns" and "nf" had a similar effect.  "br", "pl", and similar double consonants that "flow" into an l or r do not count as double consonants for syllable stress.

For example, write down what he is doing that makes you frustrated. Some of his behaviors could hurt your feelings. For example, does he call you names? Other behaviors might be pesky but are not hurting you. For instance, does he constantly ask you to do things with him? For either type of behavior, there are ways to help. Harassment is when someone behaves in a way that makes you feel distressed, humiliated, and/or threatened. Examples of harassment include unwanted phone calls, text messages, letters, emails or visits. Stalking, verbal abuse and threats, and using animals to frighten you are also forms of harassment.  If the boy is harassing you, physically hurting you in any way (e.g. pulling your hair, throwing things at you), or making you feel badly about yourself, tell a trusted adult immediately. If no adult is available and you feel in danger, call the police. Peer-on-peer harassment that is related to your race or disability is illegal. Sexual harassment is also against the law. You should discuss these forms of harassment with a teacher immediately. Has he only annoyed you once? Is he teasing you constantly? If the behavior is ongoing and causing you distress, seek help from an adult. Repeated harassment can lead to depression and anxiety, losing sleep, and lower grades at school. The boy could be trying to hurt your feelings. He could be jealous of you. He also might want to be your friend. Although it seems odd that he would annoy you for that reason, perhaps he does not know how to approach you. If he is your brother, he might miss spending time with you. Some boys also think making fun of you is funny. They expect that you will find their behavior to be a good joke. Ask yourself these questions:  Do I want to be his friend? If so, think about ways to interact with him more positively. Is he mean to other people around me? If he is mean to others or annoys them intentionally, he might be a bully. In this case, talking to your teacher is a good idea. Has your relationship changed? This is often...

For example, you could pick popular foods, American states, famous landmarks, types of animals, or even famous celebrities. Choose a random bunch of these topics and write them down individually on a note card. Pick a volunteer from your class to be the first person to choose a topic. You could pick the student who has been on time to class the most, or choose someone who turned their homework in on time that day. Have them pull a topic card from the pile and let them read it out loud to the class. This narrows down the subject that the person, place, or thing could be to make it easier for your students to guess. This ensures that you know what their item is in case the rest of your students get stuck. You can also double check that the person, place, or thing and the subject card are related, or offer suggestions if your student can’t think of anything. For example, if your student pulls the card “types of animals,” they could choose “rabbit” as their item. If the question isn’t grammatically correct, move onto a different player. You can coach your students slightly if they are having trouble coming up with a question.  You can let students raise their hands when they have a question or go around the room in a circle or spiral. If anyone gets stuck, try giving suggestions like, “Do you want to ask about its size?” Or, “Can you think of a way to ask about their hair color?” As you play the game, have your students keep track of how many questions they have asked that were grammatically correct. Don’t give out any points to questions that weren’t phrased correctly. Tally up the running total of questions asked so that you know when your students have reached 20. Assigning points makes the game more competitive and may motivate your students to play. ” You can have the student who guessed correctly pick a new subject and come up with their own item.

For example: If the high temperature in your hometown was 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.44 degrees Celsius) in January, locate the "January" line on the X-axis and the "40 degrees" line on the Y-axis. Trace both lines to the point where they intersect. Place a dot on the intersection. Repeat for all of your other data until you've plotted each point on the graph. Continue connecting the dots, one by one, working from left to right. Make sure that it looks like you're connecting the points with straight lines only, so that the graph does not look curved. Once you've connected all of the points, you will have successfully graphed all of the data. If you're graphing multiple data sets on the graph, use a distinctive color of pen, or style of line, for the first data set. Place an example of the color/line style off to the side of the graph and label it with the name of the information being displayed. For example: "High Temperatures."  Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the next data set, using a different-color pen or a different style of line for each data set. Place an example of the second line color/style in the margin and label it, too. For example, you could use a red pen to graph high temperatures, then use a blue pen to graph low temperatures over the same period on the same graph. Continue repeating steps 1 and 2 for each remaining data set you want to include on the graph. For example: Average Monthly High and Low Temperatures in Seattle, 2009. You should do this last after you know how much space all of the graphs will take up on the page.

For extra tough greasy stains, it can be beneficial to heat your silicone bakeware up in the oven before cleaning. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Once the oven is fully preheated, put the silicone bakeware into the oven for ten minutes. This will help heat up the food stains that are stuck on the bakeware and make them easier to clean.  After you’ve heated up the bakeware, try washing it with grease-cutting dish soap and baking soda. Be careful not to burn yourself while handling the bakeware when you remove it from the oven. Wet down your silicone bakeware in the sink and shake all the water off. You want the item to be damp, but not dripping wet. Identify the places where there are still greasy food stains and sprinkle some baking soda on each spot. Be sure to give a generous sprinkling of the baking soda, not just a light dusting. Gently massage the baking soda with a damp cloth so that the water helps the baking soda powder form into a thick paste. You want the baking soda paste to be applied heavily to each stain on your silicone bakeware. Let the baking soda dry completely, which could take several hours. Once the baking soda is fully dried, rinse it off in the sink with hot water. If the stains have not dissipated at this point, you can try washing it with grease-cutting dish soap again or apply the baking soda again. You may have to repeat this process quite a few times to get your silicone bakeware perfectly cleaned. Once you have finished removing the baking soda paste, use some dish soap to wash the silicone. Then rinse all of the soap off in the kitchen sink. You should place the silicone bakeware on a towel or a drying rack and let it fully dry before using the item again. Be sure not to store your silicone bakeware in the cabinet while it is still wet, as this could lead to mold and bacteria forming on your kitchenware.

For girls, this might mean talking football with your guy.  For guys, this might mean talking about a recent book she has read.  Whatever it may be, find what your partner is interested in, and talk about it.  This will show your potential date that you care about what interests them.  Ask some of their friends what they are into.  This way you can study up before you begin to talk to them.  For example, if your guy likes the Carolina Panthers football team, read about whether they have been playing good or bad, what what players they have on the team. If you hear from your girl's friends that she is into Twilight, it wouldn't hurt to at least pick up the first book and read it.  This way you can bring it up casually in conversation, and she will know that you are interested in her interests. Never go overboard.  Some people just don't match.  If someone has totally different interests than you, you should probably look for someone a bit more familiar. This is the key to asking your potential partner out on a date.  While being shy can be cute, most of the time you will want to exude confidence.  Stand up straight, and speak clearly.  Look your partner square in the eyes as you ask them "Will you be my Valentine?" or "Would you like to go out on Valentine's Day?"  When you ask your date to go out, make sure they are not in a group.  With other people around, you can lose confidence.  There is also social pressure on the person to say either yes or no, depending on the circumstance.  You want to make sure that it is only you two engaging with one another. Do not force your partner into panicked positions.  For instance, it is not good to pull your potential date aside as they are running to class.  Wait until after school, or well before school starts.  If you are out of school, don't bother them while they are in the middle of their job. You can throw a single's party so that you can find a potential match.  This takes the couples out of the equation.  Get a group of friends to come over for hors d'oeuvres...

For instance, after seeing a dull film, you might say, “Well that was fun.”  Place special emphasis on “that” to give your voice a sarcastic tone.  After watching a video of a motorcyclist launch themselves and their motorcycle through a ring of fire, you might say, “That looks safe.” Avoid directing sarcasm toward a person unless they are a friend or not present.  For instance, referring sarcastically to poor decisions by politicians, celebrities, or business leaders can get you easy laughs. When someone says something really obvious, you can draw attention to their unnecessary analysis by saying, “Really?” or “Fascinating, I had no idea!”  For instance, if it’s raining heavily and someone says, “It’s raining,” you might say, “Oh, is it?  Hadn’t noticed.” If you’ve lost the note cards you wrote for your speech and your friend says, “This is bad,” you might reply sarcastically, “No, you think?” For example, suppose your friend shares details about how an incompetent politician bungled the rollout of an important policy or program.  You might reply, “Gee, what a surprise.” Imagine your friend is telling you about an acquaintance who wrecked their car.  If you know that they are a notoriously bad driver, you might respond, “He wrecked his car?  What a shock.” For example, imagine you and your friend are at the batting cage and they wind up for a big swing.  When they miss the ball, you might say, “Wow, nice one!” Similarly, if your friend is walking around looking down at their phone and bumps into a post without injuring themselves, you could make a sarcastic comment like, “Great job.” When something unfortunate happens, you could respond sarcastically.  For instance, if you get a flat tire, you might say, “Oh, terrific.  I really needed this.”  If you get your test back with a bad grade, you might say, “Wonderful.  I really needed this.” If you need to get money from the bank and arrive there only to find they’ve already closed for the day, you could exclaim sarcastically, “This is just perfect.” If you’re...

For instance, do not introduce a new bird to your bird during the time that your bird would normally be taking a bath or having a meal.  If you need to move your bird’s cage in order to make room for the new bird, do so well in advance of the new bird’s arrival. For instance, do not give your old bird’s cage to the new bird without repainting it or altering its appearance significantly.  If you do not, the bird that used to live in it will be jealous and could cause conflict.  Similarly, do not place a new bird’s cage right next to your original bird’s cage if it makes your original bird uncomfortable. For instance, if you decide to purchase a new cage for your original bird at the same time that you purchase a new bird (and cage), keep the new bird out of view until your original bird has acclimated to the new cage.  Depending on the bird, it may take a few days to a full week.

For instance, if your house has a small anteroom between the house and the door that leads outside, keep your dog out of it.  Alternately, if the dog tends to bolt through certain doors, keep your dog out of the room with that door.  Using baby gates (low gates meant to keep babies from crawling about the house) are useful for keep smaller dogs out of certain zones.  Finally, if all else fails, enclose your dog in a room before you go in or out of the house.  Keep the room stocked with toys, chew bones, and a comfy dog bed to keep doggie happy. Attach a long dragline -- a lightweight leash -- to your dog’s collar.  Let your dog get used to it and drag it behind them while wandering around the house.  If your dog runs out the door when you open it, quickly close the door while part of the dragline passes through the door, catching it between the door and the jamb.  This way, your dog will be stuck outside but immobilized.  Wait 30 seconds, then grab the portion of the leash on your side of the door before opening it.  When your dog comes back to the house, praise it effusively.  When your dog continues to run outside, increase the time it spends outside by 30 seconds.  For instance, the second time it runs out, catch its leash in the door again and wait 60 seconds before bringing it back in.  Wait 90 seconds on the third escape attempt, and so on. Be careful not to catch your dog’s tail in the door when closing it during the escape. If you are coordinated and quick enough, you can simply step on the length of leash dragging behind your dog instead of closing the door on it as your dog exits. If your dog does run out of your house, the best way to prevent a full-on escape is to fence your yard.  This is often only a viable choice for the backyard, though small front yards can be easily enclosed with tasteful white picket fences.  Install a smaller fence for a small dog and a higher fence for a big dog.  Note that big dogs can jump very high, so twice the size may not be enough. Pet barriers are small devices...

For large-scale do-overs, this list could be very long. If your idea of starting a new life is more limited, such as finding a new career or developing a new worldview, your list of changes might not be as long. In general, you’ll probably need to consider changes in several aspects of your life: physical, emotional, geographical, social, financial, and career. For some people, changing their health condition or fitness level can feel like getting a fresh start on life. Perhaps you’ve been overweight for some time and want to feel healthier. Perhaps you’ve always been pretty sedentary but have decided you’d like to learn to run marathons. Fortunately, physical changes are some of the easiest to make. You can develop healthy habits and talk with your doctor about what plans are right for you.  Weight loss is the number one New Year’s Resolution, and also one of those that tends to be broken almost immediately. If your weight is something you’d like to change about yourself, or if it is causing you significant health issues, talk with a doctor about how to lose weight effectively and safely.  Your doctor will probably recommend a combination of exercise and healthy eating habits. If your weight problems are very serious, your doctor may recommend a weight-loss surgery or medication. You should always consult with your doctor before starting a weight-loss plan.  Eating better is pretty easy once you know where to start. Rather than thinking of modifying your eating habits as “going on a diet,” think of them as starting a new life-long commitment to healthy eating. Incorporate plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and skip processed and junk foods.  Staying fit is the fifth most-popular New Year’s Resolution. Unfortunately, about 80% of American adults don’t get enough aerobic and muscle-building exercise. Aim for at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise, and do muscle-strengthening exercises at least 2 times per week.  Dress to express yourself. How you dress...

For larger savings goals, choose a mason jar that’s 0.5 gallons (1.9 L) or 1 gallon (3.8 L). If you do not have any mason jars at home, you can order some online or purchase a jar at a local crafts store. Any jar that you get needs a lid to go with it. Use a spaghetti sauce jar if you don’t have a mason jar handy. Make sure to wash out the jar thoroughly before you convert it into a piggy bank. You can just run it through the dishwasher. You want your new piggy bank to be free of labels before you start putting coins in it. To do this, first peel off as much of the label as you can with your fingers. Then, squeeze a few drops of soap onto a sponge and run the jar under some hot water. As the water hits the label, scrub the paper away with the sponge to completely remove the label. Let the jar sit for 15-20 minutes so it can dry. Once the jar is dry, you can start using it as a piggy bank! There are a number of ways to go about this step, as it’s completely up to you how you want your piggy bank to look! One fun idea is to wrap a colorful, decorative tape called washi tape around your jar and then add stickers to the parts of the jar that aren’t covered. Then, take some puffy paint and draw your name or other designs onto the glass jar.  You can buy washi tape, stickers, and puffy paint at your local crafts store or get order some online. Add the tape and stickers onto the jar before the puffy paint. Then, once you’ve painted, let the jar sit for 6 hours so it can dry completely.

For many in today’s world of communication, CB radio seems like an outdated method of contact. CB radio still has many benefits depending on how you use the device. For desolate environments, like mountains or deserts, CB radio can be the most effective device to contact people.  The radio signal is short wave, so you can only contact those in a 40 to 100 mile radius, depending on the device/antenna you have. You should probably have a contact you are planning to communicate with using the CB radio. Another use for CB radio is for safety contacts. If you are going on a long road trip through desolate areas, CB radio can be a vital tool to connect with the police. You can purchase a CB radio from stores like Walmart, other general supplies stores, or online. Consider what you need the radio for to help decide what price you want to spend. If you are using the radio for fun between friends, don’t spend more than $50. If you are setting up a radio communications system for work, spend a little extra for a reliable machine. The most common place to mount a CB radio is in your car. It is important to mount the radio in a location that won’t impinge your safety while driving. A common place to place your radio is underneath the driver’s seat. This ensures that you won’t mess with the radio while driving.  Some CB radios come with mounting hardware that will require you to modify your vehicle. Only the larger, older models require you to do this type of installation. Smaller CBs don’t require any serious installation and can work in the dashboard. Check the mounting instructions before purchasing the CB radio. You can get large antennas for a wider range in service, but will require more time to install. There are small profile antennas that are only 2 feet, like the Walcott, which can even be used on motorcycles. The best place to mount your antenna is on the center of your roof.  Depending on what antenna you have, you might have to drill holes into your vehicle. Check the installation requirements of the antenna...

For many of us, caffeine is a way to combat too little sleep and a lack of energy during the day. Make sure as you are quitting caffeine that you have made it possible to sleep as much as you need each night -- this will help your body reset and get used to your new caffeine-free system. This, along with drinking plenty of water, is especially important during the first few days as your body is adjusting. Alcohol will dehydrate you and since it's also a depressant, it will increase your cravings for the upside in caffeine the next day. Depending on how much caffeine you drank, your body might be at risk of getting a shock with the change from daily caffeine to no caffeine. The following caffeine withdrawal symptoms are possible and can last for a few days after you have stopped caffeine:  Fatigue and Sleepiness Depression Headaches Irritability Work Difficulty and Impairment Muscle Pain/Stiffness Flu-Like Symptoms Insomnia Constipation Anxiety and Nervousness As your body is withdrawing from caffeine, come up with ways to keep your mind off it. Think in advance when your weakest moments are likely to be (i.e. in the morning, when you're driving by your favorite cafe, etc.) and turn to your "security blanket" to get you through these times. A security blanket is anything that comforts you and helps you take your mind off of caffeine. It could be a stuffed toy, a pocket video game, calling your best friend, doing a crossword puzzle. You can have as many security blankets as you need, just make sure you always have one close at hand.

For many people, arguing is a natural response to a spouse's controlling behavior. Unfortunately, a controlling person is unlikely to submit and let you win the argument, so this tactic will likely only escalate the situation. Instead of arguing, stay as calm and collected as possible. You can disagree with your spouse without yelling or being disrespectful.  If you feel that you need to disagree with your spouse, consider saying something like, "I see your perspective, but have you considered this?" instead of "That's wrong. My idea is better!" In some cases, you may find that agreeing with your partner is best, but you can do this without submitting to the controlling behavior. For example, you may take the initiative to make your own decision, while still taking your spouse's opinions into account. In some cases, you may be able to use your controlling spouse's tendency to control as a way of remedying minor issues in your relationship. Explain the issue to your spouse, and appeal to their desire to control by asking them to develop a plan to solve the problem.  Be as specific as possible when describing the problem to your spouse. For example, instead of saying, "You are too controlling," consider saying something like, "I feel that you micromanage my activities and don't trust me to get things done on my own." If your spouse refuses to acknowledge that there is any problem, this strategy may not work. When your spouse makes a demand or tries to control you, it may help to try to see things from his or her perspective. Take a moment to consider why your spouse may be acting this way, and try to be understanding. This may help you avoid becoming angry whenever your spouse acts controlling. This should help you understand your spouse's behavior and perhaps look past minor incidents, but you should never use this technique to excuse disrespectful behavior. If your spouse begins to criticize or interrogate you, you can quickly turn the focus around by responding with the right questions. Ask questions that...

For most newer versions of Ubuntu, you can handle all of microphone settings from the Speaker button in your toolbar. Ensure that your microphone is properly connected, enabled, and that the levels are set correctly. Skype will sometimes override your system mixer settings and cause the microphone to not work. You can prevent Skype from taking control of your system mixer by clicking "Tools" → "Options" → "Audio settings" and unchecking the "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels" box. For many webcams that don't work, installing the "v4lcompat" driver will fix the problem. If this doesn't solve your issue, you'll need to check for instructions for your specific webcam. Not all webcam models work with Skype on Linux.  Make sure that there are no other programs running that may be using your webcam. The webcam video feed can only be used by one program at a time. Open the Terminal, type sudo bash apt-get install libv4l-0:i386, and press ↵ Enter. Right-click on Applications and select "Properties". Click "Edit menu" and then select "Internet".

For most of us that suck at socializing, it's because it's just plain awkward. The awkwardness can get so bad we'd rather be gnawing through our right arm than deal with it any longer. You'd swear it walked in the door right behind you. But in reality (or whatever exists outside your imagination), that's your nerves. That's all it is. If your nerves were to go away, so would the awkwardness.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, knowing nerves breed awkwardness won't get you anywhere. But it can open up your mind to seeing how it works. We all know that guy who can rock an awkwardly-placed mustard stain, we all know that chick who makes bedhead look like a thing. How is that possible? They roll with it. They don't let it bother them. That's all. How do you stop these things from bothering you? A good rule of thumb is: If you know in advance that something is "off" and will bother or distract you, fix it. For example, if you are going to a job interview or a party and you think your shirt is a bit short, wear a different one if you think you'll be pulling on it all the time. Fidgeting with clothes only draws attention to what is (in your mind) wrong with them, or to the fact that you're uncomfortable and nervous. If something happens spontaneously that you were not prepared for (like the mustard stain mentioned earlier), and you can't fix it completely, pretend it doesn't exist. Seriously. If you don't look at it, touch it, rub it, or constantly try to hide it, chances are your conversation partner will not even notice it. They will be looking at your face and your hands while you talk and listening to you. Actual get-rid-of-nerves material. If you go in with positive expectations, it's a lot harder to get nervous. Say you walk into a group of people that you're pretty confident you'll mesh with. They're awesome, you're awesome and it will be awesome. When you get an awkwardly-placed mustard stain on your pants, it's no biggie. Why? Because you don't let it. Life is more like a self-fulfilling prophecy than we realize....

For most people, social cues are read and interpreted naturally, usually without even thinking about it. If you want to make another person feel awkward, you should make a conscious effort to read social cues. For every move you think you are expected to return, you should do the opposite. This simple trick will make just about any social interaction fall to pieces within minutes. For example, if someone tells a joke, you should respond by getting angry or sad. Even if you find the joke funny, withholding the expected reaction will almost certainly put the other person on edge. Inappropriate questions are usually avoided if someone has a solid understanding of social cues and norms. However, if you're aware of them and want to make someone feel awkward, you should go out of your way to bring up things people usually have a hard time talking about. Religion and politics are two things that can get under peoples' skin when they're brought up abruptly. Asking really personal stuff about someone's life can work as well, but it's not always recommended. Some people may be legitimately hurt if you say something that touches on a past traumatic experience. Filler words are usually used by people without thinking as a way to fill in the pauses. Words like "like", "ahh" or "um" are used to give the brain time to catch up with what you're saying. Using these words will make you sound nervous and uneasy. This is a good thing if you're trying to make someone feel awkward. Work in an "um" in between or at the start of every other sentence.  If you're already prone to this sort of filler, be aware of the ways you naturally use that language and make a point of emphasizing it wherever possible. If you regularly suffer from this problem without trying, you can train yourself out of it by slowing down how fast you talk. It's generally considered very rude if you fail to remember someone's name. In most cases, you'll want to do your best to remember the names of the people you meet, but intentionally mispronouncing names of...

For most tea parties, the appropriate dress code is smart casual. However, if you’re having tea at a posh hotel, the dress might tend towards semi-formal. If the invitation doesn’t specify, call the host and ask. Smart casual is a dress code which is somewhat informal but in which you are still expected to be well-dressed. This can mean anything from a dressy pair of pants and a nice shirt to a dress and heels. Feel free to express your style! Tea parties are a fun time to dress up, so embrace the chance to wear your Sunday best. Patterns, especially florals, are popular, but stay away from all-black looks.  Tea-length dresses typically fall midway between the knee and the ankle, but just above or below the knee is also an acceptable look. Avoid very short dresses, as a tea party is not the most appropriate occasion for a miniskirt. A sun dress featuring a pastel floral pattern is a perfect look for a spring tea party. A well-tailored suit looks great on either a man or a woman, and a tea party is a great occasion to wear one without looking overdressed.  Try pairing a masculine suit with a brightly-colored Oxford shirt or a tie in a cheerful color. Accent a feminine suit with a pretty blouse. Trousers paired with dress shoes and a nice top are a timeless look that is appropriate for any tea party. For more formal occasions, choose trousers made from a luxe material like fine wool or chiffon. Trousers are very versatile and can be worn with an Oxford shirt, a flowy blouse, a sweater set, or a structured top. A skirt and sweater set is an outfit that's appropriate for all ages.

For natural, food based cleanses, you need to pick the right foods. Vegetables contain fiber that is essential for healthy and frequent bowel movements. Pick the freshest fruit you can, and try to buy organic is possible. You want to be ingesting as many nutrients as possible with no additives. Make sure all vegetables and fruits are raw when you use them in the cleanse. Good produce to include is:  Spinach Asparagus Brussels sprouts Cabbage Celery Collard greens Leeks Peas Swiss chard Mustard greens Dark green lettuces Wheatgrass Kale Bok choy Parsley Cilantro Cucumber Beets and beet greens The best ways to use fresh produce for a colon cleanse is to use a juicer or to make them as smoothies in a blender. The juices will kick start your colon and also give you added energy, and the edible skins give you added fiber. You can also add organic apple juice as needed to the juice to make it thin enough to drink easily. Apple juice contains pectin, a kind of fiber which is very helpful in achieving complete bowel movement.  You can mix and match vegetables to your own taste, but you should add enough to have three eight ounce glasses every day for five to seven days. Add some fruit to improve the taste. Use bananas, oranges, cherries, berries, plums, or apples.  If you leave the edible skins on the fruit, it will give you an added boost of fiber. If you aren't sure what kind of recipe to start with, try a green cleanse recipe. Chop two apples, four stalks of celery without the leaves, one cucumber, six kale leaves and add it to a blender or juicer. Add one tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger root and lemon juice. Blend or juice and enjoy.  If this mixture is too bitter, try adding one teaspoon of honey to sweeten it. If you don't like straight greens, try a recipe with more fruit.
