With a bouncy ball, it's easy to play handball by yourself: just find a wall and bounce the ball off it at different angles, trying to keep it in play by swatting it back each time for another bounce. You can also shoot hoops at a park with a basketball, if nobody else is using the court. Practice your soccer (football) footwork by jogging across a field while kicking a ball ahead of you, or race yourself by running to a set point and back.  You can practice less traditional sports by yourself, too. Try keeping a footbag (Hacky Sack) in the air as long as possible, throw a flying disc (Frisbee) as far as you can, or play a solo game of horseshoes, if there's a public pit in your area. If there's a public range in your area, archery is a great sport to play by yourself, since it's generally always a solo sport. Getting the basic equipment to play archery is a bit expensive, but you shouldn't have to pay more than around $150, which is still a lot cheaper than the cost of getting into certain other sports. Whether by car, bicycle, or on foot, exploration can be a fun way to pass time in your neighborhood. Try picking a direction and just heading that way. For a more outdoorsy experience, go to a park with a wooded area, then throw a baseball or flying disc as far into the woods as you can. Follow it in and search for it, then repeat until you've crossed the woods.  Be sure to read signs carefully. Some parks don't allow foot traffic off of designated paths in wooded or brushy areas. Always respect the rules. If you plan to explore outside of town, be sure you have a compass and a topographic map, and know how to use them. This skill is called orienteering. It's easy to learn and can save your life. This is another popular pastime with children everywhere. By letting gravity do your work for you, you can enjoy fast movement speeds without having to exert yourself very hard. If you live somewhere with nearby snow, buy a sled or similar item and go sledding by yourself. If you have a city park nearby, find a hill...

With a crochet top, there is typically plenty going on in the pattern itself. Adding chunky necklaces will distract from the crochet, and dainty necklaces will simply get lost. When it comes to pairing it with jewelry, earrings are one of your best options. Pair chunky crochet tops with a more basic earring, and pair dainty, intricate crochet with more delicate earrings.  The earrings should complement the pattern of the crochet, rather distract or contrast with it. For example, wear a simple, cream crochet top with bold feather earrings. If your outfit is monochrome or more neutral, consider wearing some eye-catching, bright colored earrings. On cooler days, a crochet top might not be warm enough. Luckily, these tops pair beautifully with loose cardigans! Crochet tops, particularly the tighter or skimpier ones, work extremely well with loose-fitting, effortless sweaters. Try to find a cardigan with a similar weight and texture as your top, and let it hang loosely off your shoulders. Pair a flowing crochet top with a lightweight, loose cardigan. Thin yet oversized cardigans work particularly well with crochet tops. When it comes to bracelets, nothing works better with a crochet top than a great bangle, or set of bangles. Because the pattern of a crochet top is more organic and free-flowing, a solid, geometric bangle stands out beautifully against it. Opt for the more basic designs – you don't need to add much with these tops. Skip the super structured, heavy handbags and instead grab a more lightweight, unstructured option. Bags with fringe or florals will complement the bohemian look. Lightweight cross-body bags will hold all of your things while looking casual and effortless.

With a last minute slumber party, your friend's parents may not have had time to make a lot of food. Bring a snack of your own to help out the hosts. You can pick up some cookies at a grocery store or bakery or even bring something simple like a bag of chips. It's a good idea to check with the host. See if they need anything extra in terms of food and volunteer to bring that. A makeover can be a fun event for a sleepover. Bring along any makeup you have so you and your friends can do makeovers late in the evening. Bring along some exciting and unique makeup, if you have it, such as sparkly eyeshadow and bold-colored lipstick. Sleepovers can quickly become boring if there are no fun activities to participate in. Games that are designed for large groups are great for sleepovers, so chose games meant to be played by multiple players. If you don't have room for board games, a simple pack of cards can also work great. A lot of card games involve multiple players.

With a treadmill, all you have to do is step on, press a few buttons, and get moving. They take up very little space, and, best of all, they’ll even keep tabs on your time, pace, overall distance, and physical stats like your heart rate throughout your workout. For many people, a treadmill is the most practical way to get a run in when space is at a premium.  A treadmill can be a worthwhile investment if weather conditions or a lack of suitable outdoor spots in your area give you no choice but to run inside often. Many apartment complexes and condominiums make treadmills available to residents in their on-site fitness rooms, which can be helpful if you don’t have a gym membership. Start up the treadmill and begin walking at an easy pace to relax and loosen your cold muscles. A thorough warm up will leave you less vulnerable to potential injuries like torn ligaments and sprained ankles, which are just as common on the treadmill as they are on the road. Getting things off to a slow start will also give you time to familiarize yourself with the treadmill's various features and controls. Once you've got your heartrate up, bump the speed setting up a few notches to start going faster. Keep up a brisk jog for 2-3 minutes before finally settling into your preferred running speed. Raising your tempo a little at a time will help you get a feel for cadence and foot placement if you’re not used to running on a treadmill.  To put your stamina to the test, make an effort to maintain your top speed for at least 15-30 minutes. Resist the urge to grip the handrails on either side of you while running. Taking hold of them will interfere with your technique, and could leave you prone to getting off your rhythm or losing your balance. Increasing the treadmill’s elevation setting will make it feel like you’re running up a hill. A modest incline of 1-5% can offer experienced runners more of a challenge and keep things from becoming monotonous. Struggling up a steeper angle, meanwhile, can be a good way to build more strength in...

With all the batter in the pan, the only thing left to do is bake your cupcakes! Put the pan in a pre-heated oven and wait for them to cook all the way through. Then take the cupcakes out, add frosting, and serve them.  The most common temperature for baking cupcakes is 350 °F (177 °C), but follow the recipe you’re using for the baking temperature. Cupcakes usually take 15-20 minutes to bake.

With all the glue removed, fill a bucket with water and automotive soap.  Spray the area with a hose, then wash it thoroughly with a sponge and the soapy water.  Once done, rinse the area again.  You want to be sure you remove all of the adhesive remover you sprayed onto the paint. Do this step soon after removing the glue to ensure the adhesive remover doesn’t damage the paint. After you washed the area thoroughly, allow it to dry completely.  You may speed the process along by using a towel to dry it, but be sure there are no water droplets or moisture left or it can make it take longer to wax. It can take a few hours to dry if you don’t dry it yourself. You should never wax a vehicle in direct sunlight, so you may need to move the vehicle so the area you wax the car is under shade.  Sunlight can dry the wax to the paint too quickly.  Parking the vehicle in a garage is the best way to do this, but if necessary, you can just park it so the area you removed the emblem from is under shade. Because the area beneath the emblem has no wax and likely limited clear coat on it, you will need to apply wax to protect the paint. Use the supplied wax applicator sponge to apply the wax to the area the emblem used to be.  Use a circular motion when applying the wax and ensure you cover any part of the paint that the adhesive remover was sprayed onto or may have dripped on.   You may choose to wax the entire portion of the car to ensure the wax cover is uniform. You don’t need to apply too much wax, just a light coat. It may take anywhere from thirty minutes to a few hours for the wax to dry completely.  Check the dryness of the wax periodically by touching the area with your finger.  If the wax rubs off easily under a single finger, it is dry.  Many waxes will turn white as they dry, making it easier to determine if it’s ready to be buffed off. Once the wax is dry, buff it off of the paint using a chamois towel.  Be sure to buff off all of the wax completely.  Beneath the wax, the paint will be shiny and protected from...

With any type of dieting plan, it's important to support your weight loss diet with physical activity.  Include regular amounts of aerobic activity over the course of the week. Aim for about 150 minutes of cardio every week.  Go for activities you enjoy when you're exercising.  Try walking, jogging, hiking, dancing, swimming or using the cardio machines at your local gym. In addition to cardio activities, get in 1 to 2 days of strength training as well.  This can support long-term weight maintenance.  Make sure to do strength training for about 20 minutes and include an exercise to work every major muscle group. .  Another factor that can contribute to weight gain or difficulty losing weight is stress.  Both celiac disease and gluten sensitivities can be stressful to have and to manage.  Although some people lose weight when they experience stress, many people notice weight gain and difficulty losing weight.  This is due to higher levels of certain hormones in your body and the craving or desire to overeat, snack and consume those typical higher calorie "comfort foods."  Manage chronic stress as best you can.  If you're feeling stressed by your health condition, there are support groups and forums where you can find support from other patients.  In addition, ask your doctor or registered dietitian for additional support. Outside of that, there are other activities that can help calm you down.  Try meditating, journaling, going for a walk, listening to music or talking to a friend or family member. .  Hitting the sack and getting enough rest every night is essential for weight loss; however, it's also important for healing, which is something you may need if you're recovering from a flare up from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.  If you're not getting adequate sleep each night, you  may find it more difficult to lose weight.  Studies show that if you get less than 7 hours of sleep nightly, you're more likely to be overweight.  You have increased amounts of the "hunger hormone" when you do not sleep...

With benign hypertension, blood pressure can be gradually lowered over weeks or months with close medical follow-up. With malignant hypertension, urgent management with intravenous blood pressure lowering medications are needed. If not, the high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in your brain, eyes, kidneys, and heart. If you have malignant high blood pressure, your doctor will assess and treat your specific symptoms.  Malignant hypertension is a somewhat outdated term from the 1920s. Today, this condition is more commonly referred to as a hypertensive emergency. A hypertensive emergency is when your systolic blood pressure is above 180 or your diastolic blood pressure is above 120. About one-third of Americans have high blood pressure or hypertension, but only 1% of patients with hypertension will experience malignant hypertension or hypertensive crisis. The remainder have benign hypertension. If you have blood pressure that is severely high, your doctor will also look for the following signs of damage to your central nervous system:  Headache, which is severe, especially upon wakening. This is the most common presenting symptom if you're showing symptoms at all. Vomiting, without other gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea Blurred vision Stroke Seizure Head trauma Swelling of the optic disc in your eye. Your doctor will dilate your pupil to view the disc which normally has crisp margins. If you have malignant hypertension, your doctor will see a blurry disc with distorted margins. Tiny bleeds in your eye. These are caused by the bursting of tiny blood vessels in your eye due to high blood pressure. Symptoms of malignant hypertension affecting the heart are less common. But, they may appear as shortness of breath when you're not active, you are active, or are lying flat. This is because fluid can accumulate in your lungs as your heart is working to pump against it. You may also notice chest pain because your heart is trying to force blood out against high blood pressure supplying the heart....

With black hair, choose a dye that's only slightly lighter than your natural hair color unless you want to lift your hair via bleaching first. Select a dye that's a lighter shade than your natural color without being radically different, such as a dark brunette shade. Black hair has a lot of red and copper undertones. If you want an auburn hair color, select a reddish brown. This will bring out your natural coppery undertones to create your desired look. If you do not want an auburn shade, pick a color cooler than your natural hair tone. This will lighten your hair without giving it a coppery look. Before you begin the dyeing process, it's important to make sure you're safe. Dye can sting skin and stain clothing. Put on a pair of gloves and cover your shoulders with a towel to prevent stains. Use  your tinting bowl and brush, which should have come in your hair dye kit, to mix your dye and developer into a smooth, even mixture. In most cases, dye is mixed with developer in a one to one ratio, but read your instructions first. The precise ratio varies by the manufacturer. Part your hair down the middle of your head, making a part running from your forehead to the nape of your neck. The second parting should go across your head from ear to ear. Use hair ties or hair clips to keep your hair in four even sections. Apply dye starting with a section at the back of your head and then move forward. Working from the top of the section, use the brush that came with your kit to brush dye onto your hair in quarter- to half-inch (0.64- to 1.2-cm) sections. Keep adding dye to sections until the section is completely covered in dye. Then, move on to the next section. Usually, your dye should sit on for 45 minutes. However, this depends on the brand of dye, so refer to your package instructions. Let your dye sit in your hair for the required amount of time. After rinsing as much dye out as possible, shampoo and condition your hair as you usually do. Use the products that came with the kit, if applicable. When you're done,...

With freshly picked apples, you may need more than water to clean them. Apples stained with dirt and debris can be cleaned with vinegar. Fill a bottle with three cups of water and one cup of white vinegar. Shake the bottle to mix the water and vinegar. You do not need to soak apples in vinegar. In fact, doing so could erode the apples. Instead of soaking them, spritz down the apples with vinegar. Add just enough to coat the surface of your apple. This usually takes around six spritzes. Once your apple is coated in vinegar, you can rinse it under tap water. Turn the apple as necessary to rinse all sides of it. The vinegar should remove any layers of dirt or dust on the apple. It is not necessary to use anything but your fingers to scrub the apple.

With live crabs, you should place them in a freezer for approximately 15 minutes prior to cooking. This numbs the crab, which is more humane, and also slows their movements so they will not resist as much when being placed in boiling water. A stock pot is a large, steel pot, typically 12 to 14 ounces. It's suggested you use your largest stock pot for boiling crabs. Make sure to salt the water heavily. This helps in the cooking process, and gives crabs their oceanic flavor. Add your choice of spices to the water. Many people use bay leaves, beer, white wine, black peppercorn, and paprika. Using tongs to avoid getting pinched, lower the crabs into the boiling water with their legs facing down. It is best to only boil one crab at a time, as they might fight or pinch with one another. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to a simmer when the water resumes boiling. While the crabs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water. Depending on the crab's size, they should take 10-15 minutes to float to the top of the water. Once they are floating, wait an additional 2-3 minutes before removing them with your tongs. Place the freshly cooked crabs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. In about one minute, they should be cool to the touch and ready to be handled. Many parts of the crab need to be removed before serving, and you are now ready to begin that process.

With one quick motion, rotate the hips to create momentum for the swing. Don’t let the hips sway or move out of alignment with the rest of your body as you swivel. If you’re right handed, you should turn your hips counterclockwise, and clockwise for left handed batters. Most of the power of a good swing originates at the hips.  The swing should begin with the hips, with the shoulders following closely behind. A lot of injuries occur when players try to “muscle” the ball with a wrenching motion of the shoulders. Try to stay upright as you rotate so you don’t come off your axis. Drop your chin and keep your head held low throughout your swing. Your line of sight should be locked onto the ball at all times, from the beginning of the pitch to the moment that either the bat touches the ball or you strike out. Stay focused and get ready to time your swing. Lowering your chin will help keep your head in alignment with the rest of your body, as you will be hunched over and bent at the waist slightly while preparing to bat.  Don't tilt your head too much when dropping your chin. If your eyes are not level, it may throw off your perspective and compromise your ability to zero in on the ball.  During batting practice, pay close attention to the path that the ball takes to get better at tracking it as it moves toward you.

With over 3,000 species of crab spiders, there is a fairly large range of climate zones that these spiders can withstand.  While a few sighting of crab spiders have been noted in most parts of the world, they are most commonly found in:  Northwest Europe Northern and eastern Australia North America If you live in an area where crab spiders are commonly found, the next step in identifying a crab spider is to recognize their preferred environments.  Because crab spiders hunt by blending in with their surroundings, they will make a home wherever they blend in the best.  While these habitats can vary depending on the specific species of crab spider, they most commonly make nests in:  Bunches of fruit The leaves of plants Thickets of grass Flowers, especially brightly colored varieties Pollen-producing plants Crab spiders are considered a hunter spider; however, the vast majority of crab spiders are not active hunters.  This means that instead of actively pursuing prey, most crab spiders sit camouflaged in their nest for days or weeks at a time until an unsuspecting prey wanders too close.  The clawed front legs of the crab spider are incredibly strong, and they use the additional length of these legs to reach out and grab insects.  They then pull their prey in with their front legs and inject them with immobilizing venom, rarely moving their body or shorter back legs at all while hunting. Unlike some other spider species, the crab spider is a non-aggressive spider.  Crab spiders are not only passive while hunting, they are also incredibly timid and fearful of predators.  Their uneven leg lengths make them fairly uncoordinated in comparison to other arachnids, which can leave them vulnerable to prey.  Rather than attacking a predator, crab spiders will flee to the other side of their nest or abandon their home completely if they spot a predator nearby. Crab spiders are unique in that they do not create webs like other species.  Instead, crab spiders lay their eggs on whatever surface they've camouflaged themselves...

With proper care, betta fish regularly live for two-to-four years, and can occasionally reach ten years.  Choosing a healthy fish and giving it proper care are your best chance for a lasting relationship.  Most pet stores carry far more male than female bettas, because the former are more colorful and have larger fins.  Whether you choose a male or female, look for a fish with a bright (not dull) color palate and healthy-looking, undamaged fins. You might assume you should select an active, excited fish as opposed to a more mellow one, but behavior in the pet store is not necessarily a harbinger of the betta’s personality.  It may be worn out after a day of people tapping on the glass, after all. These and other selection tips, along with much more information on betta care, are provided in detail at How to Take Care of a Betta Fish. You may have seen a betta in someone’s home or office swimming around in a vase or even a drinking glass.  Because bettas often prefer to live alone, many people mistakenly assume that they don’t need or want much water to call home.  You may hear people say that bettas like small spaces because their natural habitat is small puddles left by buffalo tracks in their native Southeast Asia.  While bettas are sometimes found in such cozy bodies of water, this is more a testament to their resiliency during the dry season than an indication of their preferred lifestyle.  In reality, bettas like quite a bit of space to roam, so you should select a tank that holds at least three gallons, and even up to ten.  This may seem like a lot of tank for one small fish, but you’re more likely to have a happy and healthy betta this way.  The tank should also be heated to between 76° and 80° F, and have a simple filter that does not churn up the water too much (bettas prefer still water).  Keep the tank clean and change the water on a regular schedule. For more on tank preparation and maintenance, see How to Take Care of a Betta Fish. While some bettas don’t mind sharing a tank, many, especially...

With radiation treatment, you'll be exposed to ionizing radiation, which will kill off the cells of a tumor and slow any future growth. Depending on your doctor's suggestion, you may have therapy for 5 days in a row with a 2 day break for a number of weeks. Each daily session usually lasts around 10-15 minutes. You'll be fitted with protective gear by the radiation therapist before starting. It involves the use of chemicals to weaken and kill off harmful cancer cells. Each treatment cycle lasts between 2-6 weeks. During those weeks you may have treatments daily or weekly. A treatment involves drugs being given via pills or intravenously through an IV.  Radiation therapy and surgery are more appropriate if your cancer is located in a single specific area. But, if your cancer is spreading, then chemotherapy may be used to stop this advance. Each treatment session may last minutes or even hours. Talk with your prior to a session, so that you'll know what to expect. Medical therapies focus on interfering with the growth and spread of cancer cells. They may block the proteins necessary for cell growth or stop a cell's ability to get blood circulation. Discuss with your doctor how long you'll need to take any medications, the dosage instructions, and any side effects.  For example, “small-molecule” drugs inhibit cell growth by eliminating enzymes. “Angiogenesis inhibitors” starve malignant cells of blood until they shrink and die. You'll generally need to take these drugs at the same time every day for a number of weeks. It's also best to avoid drinking alcohol or taking supplements while using cancer medications. If you have a history of cancer, then your doctor may suggest PDT. This therapy works by exposing surface lesions around your mouth to a powerful light. This light helps to destroy these potentially dangerous cells, but it can also cause some damage to the surrounding areas. After therapy, you'll need to stay away from all light sources for a certain period of time or risk serious sunburns.

With slight inflammations, such as redness and rosacea, and pimples, primer may be a better choice than concealer. Green primer is lightweight and sheerer than most concealers, so you can use it for all-over redness. It will be less likely to look caked on. However, with very bright, obvious pimples or for spot applications, it's best to go with concealer. Many people are insecure about their concealer looking caked on. Seek out a lightweight, low oil green concealer to prevent this. You can also moisturize your skin before applying concealer to avoid a sloppy, caked on look. Green concealer works primarily because of how green interacts with the color red, but green concealer can also make the skin look dull. If your pimples are not particularly bright red, you may be better off choosing a yellow concealer to cover them.

With smaller designs that offer little space to work with, many people end up resting focal points (such as a fireplace and TV armoire) beside each other. Avoid pulling too much attention to one side of the room by separating these elements. For example, place your fireplace and TV armoire on different walls whenever possible.  If you can't separate them on different walls, use plants or small carpets to define the areas. For example, a small carpet underneath your TV and/or a plant in the corner closest to your fireplace can define each of these spaces and make them feel separate, even when you're forced to place them on the same wall. Try to minimize one of the items so your focus isn’t split. Always keep your walkways free of furniture. This promotes an easier flow of traffic toward the focal points of the room. It can be easy for box-shaped living rooms to become a mess of furniture that is confusing to navigate. Ample free space allows you to guide the flow of traffic around conversation areas and into focal points. Place a square or rectangular rug down to define a conversation area. From here, work your way outwards from the room's center, filling it up with your couches, loveseats, chairs, small tables, and bookcases.  Never place all of your furniture close to a single focal point if it blocks another view. For example, avoid cluttering the fireplace area if it blocks the view of the television. To avoid a boxy look, pull your furniture away from the walls and place an ottoman or coffee table in the center of the room. Use a loveseat to fill the corner diagonal from the corner attaching the two couches. Use end tables to fill one or two of the other corners.  Place a lamp on the end table connecting your couches to illuminate both, and a small lamp table beside the loveseat. Position an end table behind one sofa to accommodate another lamp. Stationing an end table and ottoman on a corner of your center space carpet—facing conversation—is a great way pull the seating together and avoid an open-ended...

With social media becoming an ingrained part of most people's work and home lives, it can be hard to separate the two. If you are active online in both your professional and personal lives, it's important to create a distinction between them to monitor what is being put out in the online world regarding that side of you. Many people choose to use LinkedIn for their career or academic connections and Facebook or Instagram for friends and family. If you telecommute, you need to be aware of your company's policy for dividing professional and personal data. Some companies may provide their employees with completely separate devices (e.g. phones and computers) strictly for work purposes. Others may allow the use of personal devices. Find out what the guidelines are about such matters. Also, be sure that any personal data, such as contacts, photos, and music are appropriately backed up. If social media is a part of your professional life, you may find yourself spending excess time online beyond what's necessary for your job. Logging on several times a day or whenever a notification pops up is disruptive to both your professional and personal life. Make the choice to unplug for a few hours each day. Or, choose a short window to engage with your friends or followers online, then log off for the remainder of the day.

With some accents, including cockney accents, Ts aren't pronounced in words where Americans use D to replace it.  However, there is usually a short pause or "hiccup" in its place.  So "battle" might be pronounced ba-ill but it would be a rare occasion to find someone saying "Ba-ill" catching the air behind the back of the tongue at the end of the first syllable before expelling it on pronunciation of the second syllable. This is known as the glottal stop.  use glottal stops, too, for words like "mittens" and "mountain".  It's just that British use them more often. People with Estuary English, RP, Scottish, Irish and Welsh accents do consider it lazy and rude to drop the Ts, and this feature doesn't exist, but in almost all accents it's accepted to do it in the middle of words in casual contexts and almost universal to put a glottal stop at the end of a word.

With some units, especially indoor units, your filter may be inside the unit. Find the AC closet. Pull off the front panels. They should just slide off. Often, the air filter is at the bottom. Before pulling the filter out, check which direction the air flow arrow is pointed so you can install it correctly. Sometimes, you'll have a filter on the inside of the wall when your AC is outside. Often, the filter will just slide into a metal duct. You don't even need to open a grate. Some ACs, particularly ductless filters, have a reusable filter. Switch the unit off, then remove the cover that houses the filter. Pull the filter out and wipe it clean before replacing it.

With the adhesive softened, place a plastic wedge or scraper on the body panel of the car and press the wedge between the badge and the metal of the vehicle.  With softened glue, the badge should pry up from the metal with fairly little force.  You may want to approach the badge from a few different angles in order to make sure the adhesive lets go uniformly, otherwise you run the risk of breaking the badge.  Be careful not to apply pressure to the scraper unevenly or you risk damaging the paint. This method may result in breaking the badge.  If you intend to sell or reuse the badge, you may want to opt for a different method. Take a ten to twelve inch length of dental floss or fishing line and wrap the ends around your index fingers.  Pull the length of line between your fingers through the loose adhesive on the side of the badge opposite your body.  You may need to create a sawing action my moving your hands back and forth to pull the line through all of the adhesive.  Once done, there should only be a bit of adhesive residue left on the vehicle, but the badge itself should come off.  Pull the line toward yourself, cutting through the adhesive attaching the badge to the body. More force will be required to cut through the adhesive if it isn’t sufficiently warmed. You will most likely be able to remove the entire badge without breaking it using this method. If you don’t have a plastic wedge or any fishing line, you can also remove the badge with a credit card.  Once the adhesive has been properly warmed, slide your credit card under the badge and pry up slightly.  Work your way through all of the adhesive by sliding your credit card around at different angles and separating the badge from the metal.  Make sure the side of the credit card with the numbers is facing out so you don’t scratch your paint. The warmer the adhesive, the easier it will be to separate the badge from the vehicle using your credit card. Once the badge has been removed from the body of the vehicle, there will still be residue left over...

With the canvas on the ground, lay the pole down the center of the covering, with the tip pointed toward the center of the flat side of the semicircle. If you've bought your canvas pre-cut, there should be a small "life pole flap" in the center of the canvas with which you'll affix the canvas to the pole. It's important to tie the canvas very tightly to the lift pole. If the life pole flap slips even a couple of inches, the canvas will wrinkle and cause the teepee to be uneven and loose, losing some of its valuable heat benefits. To be sure it doesn't slip, hammer an inch-long tack through the knot and the lift pole flap. While the canvas is still on the ground and now that your lift pole is affixed, roll up the edges toward the pole. Roll up a little at a time, as if you were folding a flag, so that the canvas will be able to unroll easily and evenly when you raise the lift pole. Raise the entire bundle in the air and place it into the gap you've left on the back wall of the teepee for the lift pole. When the pole is placed, unroll the canvas around the frame of poles from the back wall to the initial door pole. Make sure the smoke flaps on the canvas are unrolled outward, as well, and bind them together. The teepee should look mostly completed at this point. Most commercial teepees will have holes built into the opening flaps, but if you've cut your canvas yourself you'll need to use the pins you've gathered to auger holes into the cover and pin the open side of the canvas together. Porcupine quills can work, and were used traditionally, but small wooden pins are a more durable and available choice. They're available anywhere that also retails lodge pole pine poles. It's smart to secure the canvas to the ground using traditional metal tent stakes, so strong winds won't turn your teepee into a parachute. When you're ready to go inside, fix the door to the outside and you're ready to camp plains-style.  If you want to have a fire in your teepee, you'll need to open the smoke flaps or you'll hotbox the teepee...

With the point of your knife, find the joint and make an incision. Then, move your knife around the joint with the flat of the blade, cutting the ligaments and carefully working your knife around the elbow joint as deeply as possible. Twist the joint firmly and snap it off. Next, cut around it the base of the neck, then down towards the breastbone, and finally to the stomach, pelvis and the forelegs. Take care to cut only the skin, and not the muscles or abdominal tissues, as hair will contaminate the meat in these areas. Work your way downward, toward the chest. If muscle tissue is pulling loose with the skin, scrape or slice through it so it doesn't tear loose as you go. Slicing the subcutaneous membranes will make the skin easier to pull free. If skinning by hand, pull the skin down a bit, then slice the tissue that attaches it to the muscles underneath it, working a little at a time. If you want to save energy and use a four wheeler or even a truck, you can tie a golf ball or a similarly sized stone under the skin, looping your rope around it, then tie the free end to the vehicle. Drive slowly away from the carcass, pulling the remaining skin from the deer with very little effort. Take the deer down and lay it out on a flat work surface. Just under the jaw, cut the ligaments to loosen the connective tissue around the neck. You'll need to twist the head sharply to break the neck and remove the head completely.  If you want to save the antlers, but not the head, you'll need to use a saw to remove a portion of skull about an inch from the base of the antlers. If you want to save the entire head, keep it cool and skin (see below) it. Save any meat from the skull you wish to keep and boil the skull for several hours, removing the tissue and bleaching the skull. Clean it afterward with hydrogen peroxide to get it white. This will wash away any hair that has stuck to the meat and will also help cool the meat while you are completing the job. If you plan to have your deer commercially processed, it's ready to go...

With your financing and business plan in place, begin stocking your store. Look for suppliers or manufacturers in the niche your store is in. Find the best items for the best price and place orders for your initial stock.  Consider buying items in bulk to save costs. However, don’t order more than you think you can sell. If you sink all your startup money into merchandise right away, you might not be able to pay your other bills. Try contacting manufacturers directly rather than wholesalers. You might save money by buying directly from manufactures. Trade shows are also good places to pick up cheap wholesale items. Small stores are part of their communities, and a great way for you to insert yourself into the local community is by showcasing local manufacturers. Contact jewelry makers, artists, and clothing makers to place their items in your store. This gives you a good supply of merchandise and is also great for your marketing. If you don’t have room in your store for locals to stock their items all the time, consider doing a monthly event for local manufacturers. Set up a tent in your parking lot and let them come showcase their products, for example. The number of employees you’ll need depends on the size of the store. A common recommendation is for 1 full time and 1 part time worker for each 1,000 sq ft (93 m2) of store. Think about how much work you can do yourself. Then hire more people as you need them.  Have at least one trusted employee who can run the store when you’re not there. You never know when you’ll have an emergency or get sick, so someone should know as much as you know about running the store. Remember that each employee you hire is another added expense. Only hire people you need. If work is irregular, consider hiring seasonal employees to save money. If you run a tourist shop that is only active in the summer, you don’t need many employees in the winter months.

With your fingers, separate a small section of hair at the back of one of your side sections. This will let you work forwards towards your face, getting easier and easier as you go. Moisten the strand slightly with the water spray bottle.  Remember that the thicker the strand, the bulkier each curl will be. Use a lot of hair per roller if you want only a few curls.  For thin coils, use sections that are roughly an inch wide. These will be separated into smaller pieces later on. Start with the bottom tip of your hair and wrap it around near one end of the first straw. Roll the straw up your hair until the entire strand is coiled or you run out of space on your straw. Be sure to keep the strand taut on the straw without pulling your hair to the point of discomfort.  For the tightest ringlets, roll your hair flat onto the straw.  If you are going for long, lean spiral, coil the strand around the straw. Instead of flattening your hair against the straw, keep the section rounded. Take a bobby pin and clip the straw-wrapped hair strand near its roots. Slide the bobby pin across the center of the straw and through the hair you're securing it to. Later on, you may start to run out of space and may need to clip to a different wrapped strand instead. Secure each new finished strand with a bobby pin. Work your way around your head until all of your hair has been wrapped. Keep the sections at a consistent size and coil pattern. While this method works with many different ringlet sizes and styles, you want each strand to be as similar as possible. Multiple curl types may be used by an experienced stylist when creating more adventurous hairdos, but it is a difficult look to pull off. Depending on your hair type, this may take anywhere from three hours to overnight.  When drying overnight, wrap your hair with a silk scarf or a bathing cap. If you remove the straws while your hair is still damp, your hair will look more similar to a messy 1980s-style perm. While this is another great look, it's very different from the...

With your griddle warm, caked-on bits of grime should come off more easily during cleaning.  Turn your griddle to the appropriate setting.  Different griddles are meant to be cleaned at different temperatures.  Different griddle soaps, likewise, are intended for use at different ideal temperatures.  Check both your griddle’s user manual and the griddle soap you obtained to determine what temperature you should set your griddle to. It will be easier to clean your griddle when you’ve just used it, before it’s cooled, than it will be to try and clean the griddle after the bits of whatever you’ve been cooking have caked onto its surface. In a small bowl or bucket, combine griddle soap with warm water.  Your griddle soap might have specific directions regarding the proportions of water and soap should be mixed.  For instance, perhaps your soap will come in a single packet that must be mixed with two cups of water. Do not submerge your griddle entirely in water and soap.  Doing so could damage the electronics inside your griddle. After dipping your sponge or cleaning implement into the warm, soapy water you’ve prepared, use it to loosen and remove as much gunk as possible.  Use a back-and-forth or up-and-down scrubbing motion when scrubbing your griddle.  You could move from top to bottom, or from bottom to top.  If you’re scrubbing your griddle with an up-and-down motion, you could move from right to left or from left to right as you scrub.  Attach the drip tray if your griddle does not have one permanently attached.  Place a bowl or small container beneath the drip tray’s drain to catch the water you use to scrub the griddle. Dip your sponge or griddle brush into the water frequently during the cleaning process.  This ensures the griddle receives a steady application of soapy water. If a moderate level of force is not removing gunk from the griddle, apply pressure more firmly when scrubbing. For instance, if your griddle is not getting clean with a thin griddle sponge, use a thicker griddle sponge.  If your...

Without any upgrades or optional gear, Pyros start with a 200 fuel Flame Thrower for close or medium range as their primary weapon, a 6/32 medium ranged Shotgun as their secondary, and a fire axe for melee. The Pyro's flamethrower is most dangerous up close. At point-blank range, it's almost guaranteed to be fatal. Get as close to your enemy as you can before you use your flamethrower for massive damage. The flamethrower is the only base weapon that causes additional lingering damage after the initial damage has been dealt. Any enemies (besides enemy Pyros) who are hit with the flamethrower are set on fire and receive gradual damage over time. Because of this, even if a burned enemy runs away, he may still die, so it is not always necessary to chase your enemies down. The flamethrower has a useful secondary fire (right mouse button) called the compression blast (or air blast) which has a variety of uses. Upon pressing the right mouse button, the flamethrower emits a blast of air that can blast enemies backward through the air, though it won't damage them. It can also reflect slow moving projectiles such as the Demoman's bombs, the sniper's arrows and the Soldier's rockets. Soldiers, in particular, are very vulnerable to their rockets being reflected back at their team, as reflected explosives mini-crit against their own team.  The compression blast can also remove flames from a teammate. A sniper's jarate along with the crusader's crossbow arrows can be reflected as well. Use reflected jarate for a quick mini-crit kill! Note that the air blast is expensive in terms of ammo, using 20 ammunition per blast. The air blast uses the same ammo as your flamethrower, so use it with caution! The shotgun is weaker than the flamethrower, but much longer-ranged. Use this to your advantage. If an enemy is rushing toward you from a distance, it can help to switch to your shotgun and start shooting to inflict some damage before he or she is within the range of your flamethrower. This is especially true when you are about to...

Without getting into a chemistry lesson here, it is perhaps sufficient to say that bisphenol-A (BPA) is an industrial chemical additive. It adds flexible strength to a wide range of polycarbonate plastics, as well as epoxy resins in items like can coatings and dental sealants. Unfortunately, when ingested in sufficient quantities, BPA has also been shown to be a “hormone disruptor” that mimics estrogen. The real questions are “How bad is BPA for us?”, and “How much BPA is needed to cause potentially negative effects?” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is clear on the issue:  “current approved uses of BPA in food containers and packaging are safe.”  And, just to be extra clear:  “Is BPA safe?  Yes.”  Basically, the FDA (and plastics manufacturers) contend that while BPA can cause health problems, the amount you can ingest from products is far below the threshold for concern.  Anti-BPA campaigners and some researchers are not so sure about that, however.  Because BPA mimics the hormone estrogen, they claim, even smaller amounts can impact brain, behavioral, and reproductive development, especially in fetuses, infants, and small children.  BPA exposure may also have links to obesity and possibly even some cancers.  Basically, anti-BPA advocates contend, BPA is not approved by the FDA because it has been proven “safe”; it has simply “not been proven unsafe” to a degree sufficient to convince the organization. In response to consumer pressure, many plastics manufacturers have rushed to remove BPA from their products.  Often, BPA is replaced by bisphenol-S (BPS) or similar chemicals.  Unfortunately, there is growing evidence that BPS (and other similar chemicals) may also cause similar effects on the human body as BPA.  One study of 455 plastic products found that nearly all of them, including those labeled “BPA-free,” had some amount of estrogen-mimicking chemicals inside. Basically, if you believe that you should be legitimately concerned about BPA and avoid it, you should probably try to limit your...

Without saying a word, you can communicate your moods, just like a cat. Turn your back and walk out of the room if you're bored or tired. Sit close to someone if you're enjoying their company and close your eyes when you smile to show that you're content and happy.  You don't have a tail or ears like a cat, but you can still use your face to express your emotions to people without talking. Or for example, you can pace back and forth when impatient for dinner to be ready or back away when you don't want someone to try and touch or hug you. Talk in an upbeat tone when you're happy and content and incorporate a growl into your voice when you're mad. You don't have to meow exactly like a cat, but you can copy their sounds. For example, cats chirp and mew at things they like so you could make high pitched, happy squeals when you see someone or something you love.  To show displeasure, you can hiss like a cat does when it's threatened or irritated. If you want to be able to talk with cats, mimic their meows and sounds the best you can. Listen to how they talk and mimic them. Cats communicate with pheromones that humans aren't sensitive to pick up to attract mates and warn other cats to stay away. Pick out a perfume or body spray that smells good so that others will want to be around you. In the chance that you want to repel someone, make a point to cook with garlic and onions or handle other foul smelling materials and don't wash them off. Oftentimes people think cats are glaring at them when in reality, cats blink slowly to show that they like someone. Blink slowly and evenly to show affection. This is especially effective when you're getting to know a new cat and want to communicate that you're a friend.  Some people may not recognize this behavior and it may look more like glaring. Consider batting your eyes slowly instead to be less intimidating. If you ever need to fight, hold back from going all out and physically attacking someone. Instead, quickly bat someone on the arm to alert them of a coming...

Without vivid clarity about what it is that you do in response to intrusive thoughts about the way you look it will be very difficult to intervene. Before making any behavioral changes, which can often be a painful process, write out the daily behaviors traceable to the disorder and the frequency with which you do them. Only list behaviors that occur so often that your daily life (social, work, school, personal maintenance) is impaired. The most common habits that accompany BDD are: Checking your appearance on reflective surfaces. Checking yourself by feeling your skin with your fingers. Cutting or fidgeting with your hair, always in attempt to perfect it. Picking your skin to make it more smooth. Comparing yourself against models in magazines or people in the street. Frequently talking about your appearance with others. Camouflaging or otherwise hiding your appearance. Your personal triggers are situations, people, objects, and memories that cause the obsessional thoughts and behaviors that accompany BDD. By paying attention to the moments when you become taken over by intrusive thoughts and behaviors you can get a clearer sense of (1) the experiences that you may want to avoid altogether and (2) the emotional "ins" that will help you get to the roots of the fears and beliefs associated with BDD. Be advised, you may want to gauge how you use knowledge of your triggers based on the intensity level of the disorder. If you are in the throes of BDD, either housebound or in 24/7 obsession mode, you may be too sensitive to begin exploring the roots of the problem. It will be easier to get some distance by avoiding painful triggers before getting in deep. There are a number of ways that you can give yourself reality checks, most of which involve doing something scary and uncomfortable, related to your BDD thoughts or behavior. This moment will then help you realize that the dreaded behavior is not as bad as you thought it was. What's more, you will see the questionable nature of your perceived defects. For example,...

Wobbler's disease is a painful ailment found in many large dog breeds, such as Dobermans, Great Danes, and mastiffs, and is caused by either a slipped or herniated disc, or by a bony deformity around the spinal cord. The name Wobbler comes from the short, "wobbly" stride of dogs afflicted with this disease. Typical symptoms of Wobbler's syndrome include:  Weakness in the limbs  Difficulty standing or rising after reclining  Tendency to drag one or more paws (usually the back legs; look for worn or chipped nails as telltale signs)  Muscle loss extending through the shoulders  Partial or full paralysis of one or more limbs Your veterinarian will most likely order X-rays, a CT scan, or an MRI in order to diagnose whether or not your dog has Wobbler's syndrome. Depending on the severity of your dog's condition, your vet may recommend surgery. Unless your vet orders surgery to correct the problem, the best thing you can do is make your dog comfortable. Administer any medications your vet prescribes to treat inflammation and swelling in the neck and spine. You will also need to reduce your dog's activity. Some vets recommend keeping dogs with Wobbler's syndrome confined to a crate in order to let the dog rest and restrict his movement. If your vet diagnoses your dog with Wobbler's syndrome, you will need to use a harness for walking him instead of a leash. Do not keep a collar on your dog's neck if he is diagnosed with Wobbler's disease. Some veterinary clinics offer water therapy and acupuncture as part of a holistic rehabilitation therapy. Talk to your vet about what may work best for your dog.

Women can sexually harass other women, and men can sexually harass other men. There is no requirement that the offender be the opposite sex as the victim, and courts have found harassment in same-sex situations. Some people might think that only women can be harassed. Although statistics show that more women than men are harassed, the fact is that anyone can be a victim of sexual harassment. Some people assume that only supervisors can harass subordinates. Again, this may be the most common form of sexual harassment, but legally anyone can commit sexual harassment, including the following:  coworkers third parties, such as an employer’s client or agent victim’s supervisor supervisor in a different department or area You can complain about sexual harassment even if you are not the person directly harassed. Instead, if the harassment creates a “hostile workplace” then you have a valid sexual harassment complaint. A hostile workplace is one where harassment is so widespread that it is abusive and significantly changes the conditions of employment. In practice, this means that derogatory comments to a coworker can be so upsetting that you find the workplace hostile—even if the comments were not directed at you. You can be a victim of sexual harassment without suffering an economic injury. Specifically, you don’t need to lose your job, be demoted, or have your pay docked. Instead, suffering the harassment is itself your injury. However, you should realize you can certainly get more money if you decide to sue in court after being fired or demoted. Sometimes people are afraid to come forward with complaints about sexual harassment because they assume no one will believe them, especially if the harasser is a powerful person in the organization. By law, however, employers will only be able to protect themselves if they investigate your complaint in a good faith manner.  You will help yourself by documenting the harassment. Just as no one should assume you are lying, they also won’t necessarily assume you are telling...

Women have a few more options for dressing business formal than men do, but they also need to be more careful when they dress. Having more options also means there are more ways to dress inappropriately.   Skirt suits: stay with a dark color, a knee-length skirt, and a tailored jacket. Pant suits: stay with a dark color, as well as tailored pants and a jacket. Transparent or see-through blouses are big no-nos. Wear a shirt or camisole underneath if needed. Stick with cotton, silk, or microfiber material. Material that can breathe well, like cotton, may feel the most comfortable in a potentially stressful situation. Your job interview is enough of a balancing act as it is, so don't make your shoes into one as well. Shoes that are any taller than that risk looking unprofessional. Dark shoes are best. As long as the stockings/pantyhose is dark, not heavily patterned, and seems like it would be appropriate to wear to work, it's acceptable to pass as business formal. Pantyhose or stockings that might be worn for a night on the town will probably not pass muster, and may be more distracting than is necessary. Do not wear pantyhose or stockings that are damaged in any way, as you will definitely appear as unprofessional. Be sure to check for any damage before you put them on. Don't cake on layers and layers of makeup. Dressing business formal is not the same thing as getting dolled up for for Friday night. A little bit of makeup is probably better than none at all, but too much isn't. Conservative is best. As for men, fragrances are best avoided altogether. It can be off-putting for other people who don't share your sense of smell, and it doesn't mingle well with the smell of sweat. If you need to wear perfume, know that a little goes a long way. Accessories can be the pride and joy of the female wardrobe. Knowing which accessories to wear — and which not to — may mean the difference between a lasting impression and a passing glance.

Women tend to make themselves look smaller, such as by crossing their legs, slouching, or keeping their arms tucked in. Do the opposite of these things to appear more masculine. Sit with your legs spread apart, sit or stand up straight and tall, and take up space with your arms.  For example, if you’re standing, keep your feet shoulder-width apart, stand up straight, and let your arms hang down at your sides. If you’re sitting, place your feet flat on the ground with your knees about 12 in (30 cm) apart, and lean back with 1 or both arms resting on the back of neighboring chairs. A firm handshake is an important sign of masculinity. When you shake someone’s hand, stand up or lean down so you are at their eye level. Then, look them in the eye, grip their hand firmly, and shake their hand up and down 2 to 3 times. After that, release their hand and return to a relaxed standing or seated position. Avoid holding onto their hand for more than 5 seconds. Any longer and it might get awkward. Women tend to change pitch when they’re speaking, so this can be a giveaway. Practice speaking in a monotone voice to seem more masculine. Don’t worry about the tone of your voice as much as the steadiness of it. Men have varying tones of voice, so having a higher pitched voice is not necessarily a giveaway. Listen to how men speak in movies, podcasts, and TV shows and try to emulate their voices. It’s totally fine to pee sitting down in a men’s restroom. There are even some men who do this out of personal preference or necessity. However, if you want to stand to pee, there are ways you can do this. The best option is to use a stand-to-pee (StP) device. You can make one yourself or purchase one to use.  Practice using the device at home until you have mastered it. You can practice in the shower at first and then use the device whenever you use the bathroom. Once you feel comfortable, start taking the device with you. StP devices are usually quite small, so you can easily fit one in your pocket.

Women who get physical activity most days of the week have fewer symptoms of PMS. A combination of moderate and vigorous physical activity most days of the week can not only boost your mood but also may prevent bloating, weight gain, and fatigue Get at least 30 minutes of activity that you like every day. You could go for a brisk walk, jog, swim, or bike. Resistance training, playing with your kids on a trampoline or jumping rope also count as activity. Alternate between one day of more intense activity and a day of moderate-effort movement. You may experience discomfort or cramping in your abdomen or back leading up to your period. Doing some light stretches can relieve pain or discomfort. They can also help you relax, which can relieve psychological symptoms.  Make sure your muscles are warmed up before you attempt to stretch. Walk or move around and get your body warm first. Lie on the floor or a mat and pull your knees gently into your chest. You can also bend forward and touch your toes. These stretches can relieve back pain or cramping. Place your arms above your head on a wall and bow out your back. This may relieve cramping or discomfort in your lower abdomen. Consider yoga to stretch out and relax. This can calm and relax you, relieving both the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS. Applying pressure to your body can increase blood flow to aching or cramping muscles. It may also flush out excess water that causes bloating. Professional or self massages can relax you and improve your mood as well.  Book a practitioner who specializes in women’s massage. Try Swedish or deep-tissue massage to relax you and help move excess water through your system.

Women who have a heart attack are more likely to die as a result of delayed treatment or misdiagnosis. If you think that you are having a heart attack, make sure that you say so when you call emergency services. This will help to ensure that your doctor will consider the possibility of a heart attack, even if your symptoms are not typical heart attack symptoms. Do not delay treatment if you think you may be having a heart attack or having heart problems. A panic attack usually occurs because of a stressful situation. What actually causes an individual to suffer with panic disorder is unknown; however, this condition tends to run in families. Women and individuals in their 20s or 30s are at higher risk for suffering panic attacks. Symptoms that are commonly experienced during a panic attack, but are not common during a heart attack include:  Intense terror Sweaty palms Flushed face Chills Muscle twitching Feeling like you need to escape Fear of ‘”going crazy” Hot flashes Trouble swallowing, or a tightness in your throat Headache These symptoms may end within five minutes, or may peak after 20 minutes. If anyone who has previously experienced a heart attack has any of the symptoms listed above, they should visit the emergency room. An individual who has been diagnosed with a panic disorder and is concerned about suffering a heart attack should request a cardiac evaluation.

Women who started at a normal weight before pregnancy need an average of 300 extra calories per day during their second and third trimesters.  Normal-weight women should consume between 1900 and 2500 calories daily. Eating more calories than recommended may lead to an unhealthy increase in weight. If you were underweight, overweight, or obese before pregnancy, discuss your caloric needs with your doctor. These needs vary from person to person. Even if there are rare circumstances surrounding your pregnancy that make weight loss a healthy option, you may still need to maintain or increase your caloric intake. You should also talk to your doctor about your caloric needs if you are pregnant with multiples. You will likely need even more calories if you are carrying more than one baby. Empty calories will lead to unnecessary weight gain but will not provide your baby with any of the nutrients he or she needs. Avoiding empty calories is vital in maintaining a pregnancy weight that is healthy for you.  Avoid foods with added sugars and solid fats. The usual culprits include soft drinks, desserts, fried foods, rich dairy products like cheese or whole milk, and fatty cuts of meat. Opt for low-fat, fat-free, unsweetened, and no-added sugar options when available. Also avoid caffeine, alcohol, raw seafood, and potential sources of bacteria. Your body will have additional nutritional needs during pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins allow you to address these needs without having to ingest more calories than absolutely necessary.  Never rely on prenatal vitamins as a substitute for actual food, even if your doctor tells you that weight loss is acceptable for your circumstances. Supplements are absorbed best when taken with food, and vitamins obtained from food are generally easier for your body to access than those obtained through supplements. Folic acid is one of the most important prenatal vitamins you can take. It markedly minimizes the risk of neural tube defects. Iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements also help...

Women with BV may have a thin white or gray discharge with a fish-like odor. This discharge is usually heavier and stronger-smelling directly after engaging in sexual intercourse. Burning can be a sign that you may be infected with BV. Itching usually occurs on the skin around the vaginal opening. Although BV does not normally cause lasting problems, there are some serious risks associated with the condition. These include:  Increased susceptibility to HIV infection if exposed to the virus. An increased chance that a woman infected with HIV can pass the infection to her sexual partner(s). An increased chance of developing an infection after a surgery such as a hysterectomy or an abortion. An increased risk of complications during pregnancy for pregnant women that have BV. Higher susceptibility to other sexually transmitted disease, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Wood rot often occurs near the bottom of door frames, where water tends to pool during rain or floods. Measure the section of door frame containing wood rot and mark the area with a pencil. Using a chisel, dremel, or straight oscillating tool, grind out all of the rotted areas of wood on the frame. It is important to get every last bit of rotted wood you can see. If even a small amount of rotted wood remains, the fungus causing the rot will continue to spread.  If the rot covers a particularly large area or extends beyond the door frame into the structure of the house, more serious repairs will be necessary to keep the rot from returning. Inspect your door for wood rot. When the frame becomes rotted, the door can also rot as well. An infected door can pass the rot to the door frame and vice versa. Replace the door if it becomes rotted. Purchase a folded wire mesh and place it in the gap of the frame. Lock it in place with screws. This wire mesh will serve as a skeleton for the body filler. Use a putty knife to fill the mesh cavity with the mixture. Allow to set for a few minutes and add additional filler to fill any gaps. Remove excess filler with a chisel before it hardens.  Use an epoxy-based filler for substantial repairs such as filling rotted portions of door frames. Epoxy fillers, such as auto bondo, are much stronger than wood and body fillers, and are better suited for withstanding the wear and tear that doors endure. Plan out how much epoxy filler you'll need. Once mixed, the epoxy filler dries quickly. Invest in a few higher quality tools if sanding or carving epoxy filler – the filler is often sturdier than the wood itself when dry. Once dry, sand to smoothness as desired. Finish with one coat of primer and two coats of paint.

Word-attack strategies can help you figure out the meaning and pronunciation of unfamiliar words by taking on those words piece by piece and coming at them from different angles.   Look for picture clues.  Check out the photos, illustrations or other visuals on the page.  Explore what's in them (people, places, objects, actions) that might make sense in the sentence.  Sound out the word.  Starting with the first letter, say each letter-sound out loud slowly.  Then repeat the sounds, blending them together to form the word and considering if the word makes sense in the sentence.  Chunk it up.  Look at the word and see if you can pick out any sound/symbols, prefixes, suffixes, endings or base words that you already know.  Read each "chunk" by itself and then try blending the chunks together and sound out the word. For example, if you know that "pre" means "before" and "view" means "to look at," you could figure out that "preview" means "to look at ahead of time" if you approached the word by breaking it up into those two chunks.   Look for connections.  Consider whether the unfamiliar word bears any resemblance to a word you might already know.  Ask yourself if it's a chunk or a form of the unfamiliar word. You could also try using the known word in the sentence to see if it makes sense; it could be that the meanings of the two words are close enough for understanding. Go back over the sentence again.  Try substituting different words for the word you don't know and see if any of your ideas make sense. Rather than getting stuck on a word you don't know, read past it and look for more clues.  If the word is used again in the text, compare that sentence to the first and brainstorm as to what word might make sense in both. Take into account what you know about the topic of the book, paragraph or sentence. Based on your knowledge of the subject matter, is there a word that might make sense in the sentence? Look at the pictures, table of contents, chapter headings, maps, diagrams and other features of your book....

Words people use can give clues to their behavior. For example, if a person tells you they won "another" award, this provides a clue that they are insecure because they wanted to ensure you knew they'd won before.   This tells you it would be effective to offer praise for accomplishments. It pinpoints an area of vulnerability. Study whether a person's word choice matches their body language. Inconsistency can be telling. It's possible to spot whether a person might be lying based on what they say. Consider their comments in context though, and always be aware that reading verbal cues is not foolproof.  Using a question to answer a question gives them more time to make up a story. When people add qualifiers like "to the best of my knowledge" they might be lying. When people are lying, they will sometimes remove references to themselves, avoiding use of the word "I."   When lying, people sometimes use the present tense to refer to past events. Some studies have found that people who use more formal speech might be lying. For example, they might not use contractions or will use titles. People who are guilty of something will sometimes use words that soften the act. For example, instead of a word like steal, they might use a word like borrow. The sounds people give off when they talk can be very revealing about their personalities.  People who talk too fast and too much are usually insecure or anxious.   Sighing indicates sadness and frustration. If a person speaks too slowly, they may be depressed or lack spontaneity. If a person's voice changes pitch suddenly, they might be lying. A repetitive tone of voice indicates insincerity. Men may vary their tone of voice more when they are attracted to a woman. The average sentence contains between 10 to 15 words. This is known as the "mean length of utterance."    Longer or shorter sentences than average is an indication of stress. Some experts believe you can tell a person is lying if they deviate from the mean length of utterance significantly. They will single out...

Work through your list of accomplishments and develop a list of the work you performed as part of that accomplishment. Once you have an overview of the work you completed, write a brief explanation using action verbs.  Action verbs show what you did in concrete terms. For example, state that you evaluated survey results, trained a new hire, or initiated a new project. Be honest. While you want to word your accomplishments in a way that reflects well on you, make sure that you are being accurate. For example, don’t record your independent work as managerial experience because you managed yourself. Support your accomplishments with quantifiable examples, such as statistics, percentages, or calculated totals. As an example, say, “I increased my customers by 20%” or “I lowered bug reports by 15%.” You can also use straight calculations, such as “I completed 5 surveys” or “I averaged 4 customers per day.” Prepare a list of qualitative examples to support your accomplishments, especially in areas you were unable to provide numbers. Qualitative examples show that you took actions but are unable to show numerical data. For example, say, “I increased customer support by creating a new web app.” Qualitative examples are great support when taking an action is meaningful, regardless of its success. For example, if you are in charge of a program to prevent teen drinking, any action you take is useful, even if you only stop one teen from drinking. Link your positive feedback to your accomplishments to show that others have observed your successes in the workplace. Only include feedback that clearly supports an accomplishment so that your self-evaluation will be accurate and useful.

Working with play-dough or clay provides an opportunity to strengthen finger muscles by squeezing and stretching the material into different shapes.  Roll out the dough or clay and then pound it down. Use other tools to shape the clay, such as popsicle sticks.  Don't have any play-dough at home? No problem. You can easily make your own by mixing together 1 cup (240 mL) of water, 1 cup (128 g) of flour, ½ cup (136 g) of salt, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar over medium heat until it comes together. Color it with food coloring if you like!  You could also make a bread dough that needs kneading and have something yummy to eat after your exercise! Working with a clothespin will improve hand dexterity by strengthening your grasp. Pick up pompoms and move them with a clothespin from one pile to another.  Use clothespins to hang things up on a clothesline. If clothespins are too difficult to squeeze, try using tweezers first. They'll require more concentration but are easier to squeeze. You could also use kitchen tongs to pick up larger pompom balls for more of a challenge. You can stretch 2-3 rubber bands between your thumb and pointer finger to strengthen finger muscles.  Wrap an object, such as an apple, with many rubber bands and then take them off.  Find a large rubber band with which to play hand games, such as the Cat's Cradle. Using only one hand the entire time, crumple up a piece of paper into a ball and then smooth it back out again. This works on developing hand strength.

Working with scissors to cut paper is a great exercise for building hand-eye coordination.  Start with cutting paper without any patterns and then draw lines for you to follow. Start with straight lines before progressing to waves and zigzags. If this is too difficult, you can begin by cutting straws, which are more easily cut.  Have a small child cut out shapes or have an adult cut out coupons. Get some string and begin threading objects onto it. You can thread a range of items, such as straws, beads, macaroni, or Cheerios.  Use a shoelace to make threading easier since it has a hard end that won't fray.  Make it a fun activity by stringing beads to decorate your tree at Christmas or to wear for Mardi Gras. Practicing drawing shapes, such as a circle, is a good way to improve both hand muscles and hand-eye coordination. Use broken crayons or mini-golf pencils to work on improving your muscles for gripping. Practice hand-eye coordination by unscrewing jar tops. Then screw them back into place. You can use whatever you have laying around in your pantry or bathroom. Sort out a pile of coins by placing them into piles stacked on top of each other. Balancing the coins on top of each other requires careful hand-eye coordination. See how high you can stack them!

Working your heart and muscles for at least 30 minutes a day will actually help you live healthier and longer. Try some of these ideas to improve your physical life:  Plan outdoor and adventurous activities with your family. Make exercise fun several nights a week or on the weekend. Go hiking, biking, explore your local city on foot or play a sport. Join an adult sport league or active hobby group. If you miss being part of a team, join a soccer, kickball or basketball league. Most cities and suburbs have many options, and they schedule games after work and on weekends. Try a new workout. If you usually go to the gym, try new classes or get outside to walk or run several days a week. Break up your routine. Experiencing the beauty of nature can lead to feelings of awe and make you feel more wondrous.  So, get out in nature whenever you can for your health and for getting a sense of wonder. Give yourself 8 hours plus an hour to get ready and an hour to wake up. The result can be a relaxed, happier self. Make sure to stick to a routine; falling into a typical pattern of sleep can help you fall asleep each night.  Make sure to create a dark, noise free room that can help you sleep. Also, avoid drinking caffeine close to when you go to sleep, or you may have trouble falling asleep. Donate your time and connect with people who need your help. Studies have shown that volunteering for a charity can make you happier, improve empathy and make you feel fulfilled. To find a charity, search online, ask around in your neighborhood, or look in your local newspaper for opportunities to volunteer. Pick at least an hour a week where you can interact with people who are important to you without distractions from work. This will increase your mental wellbeing and decrease your stress; social support is very important for health.

Worry can wreck your day if you don't reel it in. Aim to be more present-focused by taking a few minutes each morning to acknowledge your worries and then “empty" them out into a notebook.  Clear your mind of everything that's weighing it down and then commit to not letting these worries intrude on your day. If you empty you worries out each morning, you'll have a better chance of staying present during the day. Being mindful ensures that you won't let worrying sneak back in because mindfulness requires complete attention on the present moment. As you go about your daily activities, try to immerse yourself fully in each task. Don't allow yourself to multi-task, either.  For instance, if you are driving, turn off the radio, don't take calls, and tune in to the cars and scenery around you. If you ever notice your worries popping up, refocus on the single task you're doing. This helps you overcome worrying by focusing on the here and now. Deep breathing is a great way to support your body's relaxation response and become more present-minded. If worry starts to creep back in, take a few moments to check in with your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold it for a few seconds, and then exhale through your mouth. Repeat as needed.  Use deep breathing to help you reconnect with the present moment whenever worries about the future arise. Rather than worrying yourself about a reality that could happen, be grateful for the good things that have already happened. Each evening, spend some time writing down 2 to 3 things that went well that day.  You might write something like, “I arrived at work 20 minutes early" or “My friend bought me lunch.” A daily gratitude practice will help bring you back to the present instead of being so focused on future outcomes.

Wrap a few ice cubes in a thin, clean cloth and apply directly to the zit. Hold the ice pack in place for 5-10 minutes at a time, repeating throughout the day as necessary. Allow your skin to rest for at least 2 hours before repeating the icing process, though, to avoid any potential damage. Make sure not to put too much pressure on your skin. Too much pressure can cause the pimple to break, causing even more redness and spreading bacteria. Cucumbers are naturally cooling, and they have mild astringent properties that may help minimize swelling and redness. Cut off a thin slice of cucumber and put it over your pimple for 5-10 minutes. To get the best effect, use a cucumber straight out of the refrigerator. A cold cucumber is going to deal with inflammation better than a warm cucumber. Mix together 4-5 crushed uncoated aspirin with a little water to form a paste. Apply to the inflamed area gently with a cotton swab and rinse off once dry. Do not try an aspirin mask if you have an allergy to the medication, if you are taking potentially interactive medication, or if you have a health condition that also prevents you from ingesting aspirin. Mix together equal parts plain, full-fat yogurt and honey. Apply a thin layer of the mask to any inflamed areas on your face. Let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes before washing it off with warm water. While ice can temporarily reduce redness, a warm compress works to reduce long-lasting inflammation. It can also open up your pores, allowing the sebum and bacteria to exit through the head of the zit. Hold a warm compress over the pimple for 10-15 minutes at a time. Reapply the compress up to 4 times throughout the day to help clear your pimple.  To make your own warm compress, soak a washcloth in water that is hot, but not too hot to touch. If you just steeped some tea, you could even use the teabag. Follow your warm compress with a gentle face wash. Washing your face will help remove some of the oil and bacteria that was drawn out by the warm compress. You can also add a few...
