Upper back pain is often caused by repetitive motions at work or minor injuries related to playing sports or vigorous exercise. As a first measure, take a break from the activity that may have resulted in the strain and rest for a few days. If your problem is work related, talk to your boss about switching to a different activity or improving the ergonomics of your work station. If the pain is exercise related, you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form. In this case, consult with a professional trainer or sports therapist.  Total bed rest is not a good idea for any type of back pain because some movement (even just leisurely walks) is needed to stimulate blood flow and healing.  Practice better posture at work and at home. Sit up straight and don't slouch or lean to one side excessively. Examine your sleeping conditions. Mattresses that are too soft or pillows that are too thick may contribute to upper back pain. Avoid sleeping on your stomach as it can cause the head and neck to twist in ways that aggravate back pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin can be short-term solutions to help you deal with pain or inflammation in your upper back. Keep in mind that these medications can be hard on your stomach, kidneys, and liver, so it's best not to use them for more than two weeks at a stretch.  Dosage for adults is usually 200 – 400 mg, by mouth, every four to six hours.  Alternatively, you can try over-the-counter analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or muscle relaxants (such as cyclobenzaprine) for your upper back pain, but never take them when you are taking NSAIDs. Be careful not to take any medications on an empty stomach, as they can irritate the lining of your stomach and increase the risk of ulcers. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all minor musculoskeletal injuries, including upper back pain. Cold therapy is most effective for acute injuries (injuries that have occurred in the last 48 hours). Cold...

Use 0.5 cup (45 g) of oats, 1 cup (235 ml) of water or milk, and a dash of salt. Stir the ingredients for about 30 seconds until the oats are no longer floating.  For richer oatmeal, use cream or whole fat milk; for a health-conscious alternative, try skim milk or water. If you're following a low-sodium diet, leave out the salt. It won't affect your oatmeal. Watch your oatmeal in the microwave as it cooks to ensure it doesn't boil over. If you notice the oatmeal bubbling up, pause the microwave. Give the oatmeal a stir, and continue with the remaining cooking time.  Pause and stir your oatmeal as needed only if it threatens to bubble over. Otherwise, you can simply let the full cooking time proceed. Cooking time may vary depending on the age and strength of your microwave. Wearing oven mitts or using a kitchen towel, remove your hot bowl of oatmeal from the microwave. Stir the oatmeal for about 30 seconds to cool the oatmeal and remove lumps. If your oatmeal is cooked to your preference, add any desired toppings. If the oatmeal still tastes a little firm, place it back in the microwave and cook it for another minute. Continue sampling and cooking the oatmeal as necessary until it is done. If the oatmeal is undercooked but has absorbed all the liquid, add a splash of milk or water. Stir it before putting it back in the microwave. Jazz up your cooked oats with dried fruit, granola, sweeteners, milk, or any toppings you like. Dried fruit makes an easy shelf-stable topping you can stash in an office drawer.  Try oatmeal with bananas, walnuts, and maple syrup for banana-bread inspired flavors. Add apple and cinnamon for a warm fall flavor combination.

Use 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of neem oil and 2-3 drops of dish soap. Neem oil is a vegetable oil that comes from neem trees that can be used to kill mealybugs. Make sure you spray underneath the leaves, at the base of the branches, and over the top of the soil the plant is in. You want the mealybugs to be completely smothered with the neem oil mixture. Don’t keep the plant in direct sunlight or extreme heat or it could burn. If you’re spraying outdoor plants that are rooted in the ground, wait for a shady day when it’s below 85 °F (29 °C) out. One application of neem oil probably won’t kill all the mealybugs on the plant. Because mealybugs have a rapid lifecycle, you’ll need to routinely kill the newly-hatched bugs every week until all of the mealybugs have been killed off. If the plant looks healthy and you don't see anymore mealybugs on it, they're most likely gone.

Use 2 long, vertical, slightly curved lines to draw the trunk of the palm tree. Draw the leaves like big feathers: make a curved line, and then a bunch of short lines coming off of it, all pointing downward.  You can add as many palm trees as you want. Of course, if your beach is somewhere that doesn’t have palm trees, you don’t have to draw them. Draw a little wiggly line under the palm tree to make it clear it’s standing on sand, not just floating. It might be tricky to actually draw people, but you can make the beach look full of life by adding in a beach umbrella. Use a slightly diagonal line to draw the pole coming out of the sand. Draw a curved line facing down for the umbrella, and a bunch of little connected curves for the bottom of the umbrella. You can add a beach towel underneath the towel by drawing a diamond. This will look like a tilted towel. Draw the hull of the boat by drawing a half circle, and then erasing the part that would be underneath the water. Then draw a straight line for the mast, and a triangle for the sail. If you want your boat to be really far away, you can draw it really tiny on the horizon. Take a pen or a marker and go over the lines that you want to keep in your drawing. You probably made a lot of extra wiggly lines when you were sketching with a pencil, and you don’t need to keep those in. Once you go over the pencil lines with pen, you can erase all the pencil lines. Make sure the ink has dried before you erase the pencil or your eraser will smudge the ink. You can use yellow or brown for the sand, brown for the palm tree trunks, and green for leaves. If your scene is in the day, color the sky a light blue and the ocean a slightly darker blue-green. If your scene is at sunrise or sunset, color the sky with stripes of color, and make those colors reflect a bit off the water too.  Your ocean will look more realistic if you color it with multiple colors, like blue, green, and purple, instead of all one color. You can color in your beach umbrella and beach towel bright colors...

Use 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) boards to run vertical supports the same height as your wall. Then cut the 2 baseboards of your support so it’s double the length of the wall’s height. Attach the midpoint of the base to the bottom of the vertical support with a plate connector. Measure from the end of the base to the top of the wall to find the length of the angle. Cut 4 boards to that length, and saw each end to a 45-degree angle. Use plate connectors to connect the angled supports to the bases.  Frames can vary in shape and weight depending on the shape and height of the wall you plan on building. For example, if you want an 8 ft (2.4 m) wall, your 2 bases would be 16 ft (4.9 m) and your 4 angled boards would be about 18 ft (5.5 m). Use a circular saw or a hand saw to make your cuts. Cut the longest boards first before working on the shorter boards. Always double-check your measurements before making the final cut in your wood. Set aside each board after you cut them to size.  Purchase your boards from your local lumberyard or building supply store. Aim to have the width of your wall around 4 feet (1.2 m) and the height around 8 feet (2.4 m).. Lay the boards on the floor in the shape of your wall so the narrow edges of the boards are face up. Use either a nail gun or hammer where the planks meet and place at least 2 nails at each intersection. Once it’s assembled, you’ll have the outer edges of a frame for your climbing wall.  If your wall is in a corner, make a frame for each climbing surface. You can also use screws and a drill to make your frames. If you want a wall that’s 8 ft × 4 ft (2.4 m × 1.2 m), the outline of your frame will be the same size. Use a pencil and a tape measure to mark your horizontal boards where you need to place a support beam. Cut the beams to size and place them inside your frame, using a nail gun or hammer to set them in place.  The term “on center” refers to spacing the center of each board at the specific distance. In this case, the center of each support board should equal...

Use Comcast Xfinity Speed Test to find out what your download and upload speeds actually are. This will be used as a diagnostic tool. . If your connection seems to drop off during peak hours or partway through downloads, Comcast may be throttling your bandwidth. Compare the speeds you got from the test to the speed level which you're paying for. You may have to call Comcast to find this out. You can also ask about possible throttling, if you discovered this during the previous step. If you are getting the speed you're paying for but find that this is too slow, you may want to upgrade. Are several people in your house all using the internet at once? Is anyone downloading something big, like a movie or playing an online game? This can significantly slow your internet. Much like the above, if your neighbors are putting pressure on your bandwidth by using your internet, everyone will have slower internet. Some areas will simply have very slow internet. If you live in a major city, or a newer city, this should not be a problem. However, if you live in a rural area or an area which has not seen recent infrastructure updating, Comcast's connection equipment may simply be dated. Call Comcast for more information. Your location within a given room can make a difference too. Try moving next to the router. If your connection improves, you will know that your location was part of the problem.

Use Ethernet cables to connect your modem to the WAN/WLAN/Internet port on your router, and connect your computer to the “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” port on the router. Your router’s configuration page can be accessed by any computer that is connected to the same network. When configuring your router, you will have the best results if you connect with a computer that is wired to the router with an Ethernet cable. Routers are accessed through your web browser by entering the IP address into the address bar. The IP address varies a bit by manufacturer, but most are the same or very close. These are some of the more popular manufacturers and the associated addresses:  Linksys - http://192.168.1.1 3Com - http://192.168.1.1 D-Link - http://192.168.0.1 Belkin - http://192.168.2.1 Netgear - http://192.168.1.1 Most routers have their default address printed in the documentation or on a sticker on the router itself. You can also look it up online on the manufacturer’s website. Before you access the configuration page, you’ll be asked for a username and password. Most routers will come with a default username/password combo, while some allow you to proceed without entering anything.  Your router’s documentation will tell you the default username and password required. They may also be printed on the router itself. ”admin” is one of the most common default usernames. ”admin” or “password” are two of the most common passwords. If you’ve looked up your default address and username/password combo and you still can’t access your router, you can reset it to factory defaults to clear out any changes that may have been made. This is useful for secondhand routers or old changes that you can’t remember.  You can reset your router by pressing the Reset button on it. This button is usually small and recessed, and can only be reached by a paper clip. Some routers have a button that can be pressed more easily. After pressing the reset button, wait 30-60 seconds and then try entering the router’s address and username/password combination...

Find their mission statement and understand what their overriding goals are. Also look at the descriptions of current employees and of positions so you can learn more about the kinds of people they hire and what their employees’ responsibilities are.  Use LinkedIn, the company website, and other social media for this research. Identify things about the company that appeal to you before you call in case you’re asked why you’re interested in working for them. If you plan to reach out to multiple companies, organize your information about each company in a spreadsheet. Make the contact information most prominent, so you can easily access it. Once you start calling, include the dates of each call, the outcomes, and the person you spoke with in this spreadsheet so you can refer back to it for any follow-up.

Use a bag, such as a backpack, messenger bag, or purse to hide outside food and beverages. For example, you could hide small snacks such as candy, chocolate bars, chips, fruits and veggies, popcorn, or bottled beverages inside your bag. This way your snacks won’t spill inside of your bag while you are transporting them into the theatre. A sealed container will also mask the smell of popcorn or other snacks in your bag, making them less noticeable. Place a wallet, day planner, or any other item overtop of the food you are sneaking into the theatre. That way, if someone looks inside your purse, they'll just see your personal belongings, not the food. Make sure to choose a bag that is large enough to fit all the snacks you want to sneak into the theatre. You should not stuff your bag so full that some of the snacks are sticking out of the top. This is a sure way to get caught. Make sure that the snacks fit into your bag and are not visible.

Use a balance or spring scale for this. If the object is a liquid, first weigh the empty container the liquid will be held in and find its mass. You'll need to subtract this from the mass of the container and liquid together to find the liquid's mass. For this example, we'll assume the object is 500 grams of water. Use grams, not any other unit, or the result will not be in Joules. This information can be found in a chemistry reference, either in book form or online. For water, the specific heat capacity c is 4.19 joules per gram for each degree Celsius it is heated – or 4.1855, if you need to be very precise.  Specific heat capacity actually varies slightly based on temperature and pressure. Different organizations and textbooks use different "standard temperatures," so you may see the specific heat capacity of water listed as 4.179 instead. You can use Kelvin instead of Celsius, since a difference in temperature is the same in both units (heating something by 3ºC is the same as heating by 3 Kelvin). Do not use Fahrenheit, or your result will not be in Joules. If the object is a liquid, you can use a bulb thermometer. For some objects, you may need a probe thermometer. This will let use measure the amount of heat being added to the object during the heat. If you want to measure the total amount of energy stored as heat, you can pretend the initial temperature was absolute zero: 0 Kelvin or -273.15ºC. This is not typically useful. This will produce the degrees of temperature change in the object. Assuming the water was originally at 15 degrees Celsius and heated to 35 degrees Celsius, the temperature change would be 20 degrees Celsius. This formula is written H = mcΔT, where ΔT means "change in temperature." For this example, this would be 500g x 4.19 x 20, or 41,900 joules. Heat is more commonly expressed in the metric system in terms of either calories or kilocalories. A calorie is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius, while a Kilocalorie (or...

Use a bronzer along your hairline that’s a shade darker than your foundation to create the impression of a smaller forehead. Don’t forget to blend the bronzer into your foundation well with a makeup blending sponge or brush to make sure that it looks natural. Use bold eyeshadows and eyeliners to accentuate your eyes and make them the focal point. Eye makeup can also influence others’ perception of your face shape. For a dramatic nighttime look, go for a smoky eye look by applying a gray, navy, eggplant, or brown eyeshadow on your top eyelid, working up from the lashline to the crease. Sweep a deeper shade of the same hue into the crease, using a fluffy brush and soft window-wiper motions. Highlight your browbone with a neutral eyeshadow 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Then, finish with your favorite dark eyeliner and mascara. Select a bright colored peachy or rosy toned blush and apply it to your cheekbones with a blush brush. Try also applying blush upwards toward the temple to seemingly lift your face and reduce the size of your forehead.

Use a brush or comb to eliminate tangles and knots. Even if you choose to do a messy fishtail, you won't want any snags. Brush your hair back, away from your forehead and behind your head. For a polished look and to prevent flyaways, try finger-combing a smoothing serum through your hair before you get started. Hair can be dry or wet, though it can be easier to braid wet hair if yours is curly or wavy.  If your hair is fine or layered, use a little styling cream or gel to keep hair from slipping out of the pleat. For a messier look, you can forget the brush and finger-comb your hair, but be certain you still get out any snags. Work a little styling product in for texture. For a side braid, brush your hair to the side, over your shoulder.

Use a bucket to pour the water into the bowl. The hot water will help dislodge the residue that might be slowing the flow of water out of the bowl. Let the hot water sit in the toilet, don’t flush it. Warning, heating porcelain quickly or unevenly may crack the bowl. Make sure to use a product suitable for a toilet. The product you choose should have instructions detailing the amount you should be using.  Make sure to read the label carefully. Some products aren’t meant for use on ceramics, and may require that you use protective equipment. Always follow the instructions listed on the product. Some drain cleaner may require immediate flushing, whereas others need time to work before being flushed. You can find this upright pipe in the toilet’s tank. It will usually have a small tube running into it. You should put a small amount of dishwashing liquid in, only about a tablespoon. If you have a lime or calcium remover, like CLR, you can use that instead of liquid dish soap. It may be more effective. This will give the dishwashing liquid time to seep down the overflow pipe. Additionally, the calcium and other deposits will slowly dislodge from the toilet’s walls, making for an easy clean. This will send water through the tank’s pipes, and out through the holes below the toilet rim. The dishwashing liquid will dislodge any residue in the tank. The drain cleaner will remove any clogs or mineral deposits in the drain, improving the toilet’s flow.

Use a candy-making or candle-making thermometer to gauge the temperature as the wax cools. The wax may already have cooled down to this temperature while you prepared the jar. If it didn't, then just wait a few more minutes. This is very important; if you add the oils to the wax too soon, the heat will cause them to burn off resulting in a less-fragrant candle. You can use just 1 type of essential oil, or you can mix-and-match difference oils to create a more unique fragrance. How much you add is up to you, but plan on using about 1/2 ounce (15 mL) of essential oil per 1 pound (454 g) of candle wax flakes. You can use more or less oil. Keep in mind that the scent will weaken a little once the candle hardens. As it hardens, the wax will turn from clear to opaque once again. Depending on the type of wax you used, this will be either white, ivory, or yellow. It will take at least 4 hours on the counter, but it may take as long as 6 or 8. It shouldn't take longer than 1 hour in the fridge, however. If your candle dried with a well in the middle, melt the leftover wax, then pour it into the well to fill it. Let the wax cool before moving on. Let any leftover wax harden and cool, then discard it into the trash. Never pour hot wax down the drain. Unravel the wick first, then cut it with a pair of scissors down to about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). This will help prevent the flame from becoming too big and creating too much smoke. You will need to trim the wick down each time before you use the candle.

Use a clear voice, and state the facts about why you want a hamster. Make sure your parents are comfortably seated and can see your presentation clearly and easily. Ask them to raise their hands if they have any questions, but politely ask they don’t interrupt your presentation until you’re finished. If your parents get frustrated or annoyed during the presentation, ask why they’re reacting that way and try to adapt accordingly. For example, if they’re frustrated that the meeting is taking too long, try to speed it up. Hopefully you know all of the answers to their questions. If you don’t, show your parents that you really want a hamster by considering what they asked carefully and coming up with an answer. If you have no idea how to answer their question, ask them if you can do more research and present the information later. If you have another pet, your parents might ask how a hamster can coexist with that other pet. Make sure you’re prepared for this question, and have a good answer ready! Remember that your parents might say no. If they do, try to see if there's a way you can get a hamster later. They might ask you to get good grades, or walk the dog, or demonstrate some other sort of responsibility before letting you get a hamster. If your parents are on the fence about getting a hamster, offer to be more responsible without them asking. If you jump to the chance of showing them how responsible you can be, that will impress them and help your chances! . Patience helps show your parents that you really care about a hamster! Remind them gently that you still want a hamster, but make sure you don’t talk about it all the time - you don’t want to annoy them either. Eventually your dedication will show your parents that you really want a hamster!

Use a coarse brush or toothbrush to flake off the dried excess paint. For smaller stains, you may be able to pick off dried chunks with your fingernail. Removing the dried top layer will allow you greater access to the set-in stain underneath. It will also be a more efficient, quicker way of removing the larger part of the stain. Apply a solution of one part detergent, one part water, to a damp cloth and apply it to the stained area of the shoe. Depending on the size and strength of the stain, you may need to apply some nail polish remover to a damp cloth and work that into the stain, as well. Do this until the paint softens into the fabric of the shoe. Once the dry paint has softened, it will be easier to dissolve away from the fabric. Use a dull knife to scrape off the now soft paint. The paint should rub right off the shoe. There will still be a light layer of paint set into the fabric below. However, the large majority of the paint should now be gone. Use a solution of one part detergent, one part water, applied to a damp cloth. Continue to rub the remaining stain with the solution. Rinse with cold water by holding the stained area under a faucet. Continue this process until the stain is completely gone. If the stain still remains, apply some nail polish remover to a damp cloth. Dab it on the stain and continue until it disappears.

Use a coconut oil that is as natural and unadulterated as possible. Avoid jars with terms like “bleached,” “hydrogenated,” “refined,” or “deodorized.” The term “cold-pressed” is a good thing to see on the label, though, as this is a natural process for extracting the oil. Look for this coconut oil at stores that sell natural food and health products. It typically comes in a glass jar and looks like a whitish gel or paste. Wash your face with a gentle soap, rinse it with warm water, and pat it dry with a towel. Scoop about 1 tsp (5 ml) of the gelatinous coconut oil on your first two fingers, then massage it into your skin using circular motions. Repeat this process daily.  Your body warmth will melt the oil and it will absorb into your skin. Coconut oil works best if you have dry or normal skin. If you have oily skin, choose a different natural product, like argan oil or sunflower oil. Melt 1 tbsp (15 ml) of coconut oil over low heat on the stove, then stir it together with half of a mashed banana and a pinch of turmeric. Use your fingers to apply the mask to your face, leave it for 15 minutes, rinse it away with cool water, and pat your face dry. Repeat daily if desired. This mask may help both moisturize your skin and reduce acne breakouts. Bananas may help add moisture, while turmeric may offer anti-inflammatory properties.

Use a comb to achieve a precise part. Working with hair that is slightly damp might make it easier as well. You can use hair ties or clips to hold the sections as you create them. Ask for help if you have a hard time French braiding your own hair. Two sets of hands will help speed up the process. Depending on how many sections you decide to braid, this step could take several hours, so you might appreciate the help and the company. If your braid is thicker than a half inch, you need to section off your hair in smaller widths. A braid that is too thick will only achieve wavy hair. Make smaller sections of tighter braids to give yourself the fullest afro possible. A volumizing mousse or setting lotion will help to create firm, long-lasting curls. To simplify this step, you can make a solution of 20% setting lotion or gel and 80% water and saturate the braids with the solution. Start with wet or damp hair before bed, and you will be ready to finish your afro when you get up in the morning. If you don't want to wait, you can use a hair dryer to dry the braids faster. Make sure the braids are completely dry before taking them out. If your hair seems tangled, apply a moisturizer like shea or coconut butter to the remaining braids to make the rest of the process easier. If you have long hair, bend over and let the weight of your hair and gravity help the process. Your hair should appear much more curly than before. Do this one section at a time. Creating smaller sections to backcomb will help to create greater volume than larger chunks of hair. Use a fine-toothed comb and brush your hair gently from the tip to the scalp to separate the hairs from the section. This will create tangles in the hair that will give your afro more volume. Repeat until your hair has the desired fullness. Do not use too much pressure when backcombing. You don't want the hair to break. A little hairspray is all you need to hold your afro in place. You can carry a pick comb around to keep your afro detangled and looking fabulous everywhere you go.

Use a compass, or trace any circular object. The size of the circle does not matter. If you're finding the center of an existing circle, then you don't need to draw a new circle. A geometry compass is a tool specifically designed to draw and measure circles. Buy one in a school or office supply store! A chord is a straight line segment that links any two points along the edge of a curve. Name the chord AB. Consider using a pencil to sketch your lines. This way, you can erase the marks once you've found the center. Draw with a light touch so that it'll be easier to erase. This line should be parallel and equal in length to the first chord that you drew. Name this new chord CD. This third chord (AC) should stretch through the center of the circle – but you will need to draw one more line to find the exact center point. Draw one final chord (BD) across the circle between Point B and Point D. This new line should cross over the third chord (AC) that you drew. If you have drawn straight and accurate lines, then the center of the circle lies at the intersection of the crossed lines AC and BD. Mark the center point with a pen or pencil. If you only want the center point marked, then erase the four chords that you drew.

Use a couple spoonfuls of caramelized onion chutney instead of raw onions. Heat and skip straight to adding flour. This is a good idea if you use a thin pan that can't cook onions evenly. Replace half of the onions with an equal amount of finely chopped mushrooms. Serve with steak. Use cremini or white button mushrooms. An onion gravy with plenty of spices forms the basis of most sauces at Indian restaurants. Make it your own by choosing your favorite ingredients:  Dice a large onion, then cook as described above. Add aromatic ingredients. Choose from minced garlic, ginger paste, sliced chili peppers, and/or garam masala spice mix. Fry for 1–2 minutes.  Either add a large, roughly chopped tomato and cook until liquified –  Or add vegetable stock. You can make your own by adding chopped carrots, bell peppers, celery, and plenty of water. Boil until sauce is reduced to a gravy, at least one hour.

Use a creative display to carry your cards. You can find a bold colour or design at your office supply store or online. Keep your cards within reach in case you have a surprise visit from a client. You may get neck pains if your computer screen is slightly too high or too low. Make sure you have your screen at the correct height. Use laptop lifters or create your own with books. Get creative if you need to lift the screen. Have thank you cards on hand to both inspire you and remind you to maintain professional and personal relationships. Choose from a number of designs and display the cards that have the most meaning to you. Place cards in frames, on a bulletin board, or together in a letter holder on your desk. Add a splash of life and colour to your desk with a plant. Make sure it is an adequate size and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. Adding greenery can increase productivity, spark creativity, and reduce stress. A great option are succulents because they don’t take up much space, don’t have pollen, and require little care.  Succulents are a great choice because they won’t require care when you’re not at your desk during the holidays. And they don’t have pollen that can irritate people with allergies. Find mini succulent magnets online or at your local plant store if you have a metal desk. Air plants require no work. If your work doesn’t allow plants, use fake plants, like a faux-plant pen holder, to bring some green onto your desk. Use a colourful pot to bring some personality on your desk. Choose a plant that suits your personality and workspace. Line a wood box or purchase a creative organizer to keep hygiene products neatly organized and on hand. Keep them at the corner of your desk rather than hidden in your bag or pocket.  Hygiene products may include things like tissue, chapstick, makeup, and face mist.

Use a cutting board and a large chef's knife. Slice the carrots in half first, and then lay the flat side down on the cutting board. Cut off half rounds, going down the length of the carrot. Scrub your vegetables thoroughly under running water before chopping them. Set a pot that holds 3⁄4 to 1 gallon (2.8 to 3.8 L) of liquid on the stove and turn the burner on medium heat. Pour in the oil, and let it start heating up slowly. The carrots need to go in first because they take longer to cook. While they're cooking, begin chopping the celery. Slice it in rounds, cutting across the rib of the celery. If the pieces get too large, chop them in half. The celery needs longer to cook than the onion. Pour the celery in the pot, and stir it around. Cut the ends off the onion, and slice down the middle the other way. Peel off the outer skin. Place the halves with the flat side down on the cutting board to dice them. Cut parallel along the rings, creating 3 or 4 cuts across the onion half. Turn the onion, and cut across the onion the other way, creating small, bite-sized pieces. Stir the onions into the other vegetables so they can start cooking. Cook them over medium heat until the onion begins to turn translucent, and continue to stir the vegetables as they cook. Cover the pot with a lid. Turn it down to medium-to-low heat. You want it to just be lightly bubbling on top while it cooks the chicken and incorporates the flavor of the spices.  You can also start with frozen chicken pieces, but you'll need to cook it in the pot about 40 minutes instead. If you diced your chicken, you'll only need to cook it a couple of minutes before adding the noodles. Pour the egg noodles into the pot when the chicken is done or almost done. Stir them in, and let them boil for about 6 minutes, until they are tender. To check for doneness, pull a noodle out and run it under cold water. Then taste it to see if it is done.

Use a cutting board and a sharp knife. There is no need to peel the potato first since wedges are usually made with the potato skin on. After cutting off the ends, cut the potato in half widthwise so you have 2 even chunks. Then, slice through the potato lengthwise, from the cut you made toward the cut-off end. Slice each piece in half once, then slice each of the pieces in half again. Now you have sweet potato wedges! To cook, drizzle the wedges with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil, sprinkle them with salt, and roast them in a 400 °F (204 °C) oven for 40 minutes, tossing them every 10 minutes.

Use a dice tumbler to roll two six-sided dice once during each of your turns. The numbers rolled represent two separate moves. For example, if you roll a 3 and a 5, you can move one checker three spaces and another checker 5 spaces. Or, you can move one checker 3 spaces and then 5 more spaces.  Make sure that you roll the dice to the right of your side of the board, from a reasonable height so that they bounce and roll a bit. If either of the dice lands on a checker, outside of the board, or leaning against the edge of the board, then it is not considered valid and you will have to reroll. An open point is any point on the board that is not occupied by two or more opposing checkers. You can move your checkers to a point with no checkers on it, a point with one or more of your checkers on it, or a point with one of your opponent's checkers on it. Remember that you should always move your checkers counter-clockwise, moving from your opponent's home court to your own.  You can start with any checker you chose, but it is a good idea to get your checkers out of your opponent's home board as soon as possible. You only need 2 checkers to block a point, but you can have as many of your checkers as you want on a single point. Remember that you can either move one checker twice or move two checkers once. For example, if you roll a 3-2, you can move one checker 3 points over and then 2 points over, as long as it lands on an open point both times. Alternately, you can move one checker 2 points over to an open point, and move another checker 3 points over to an open point. If you roll the same number on both dice, then you've earned yourself two extra moves. If you roll double 3s, for example, then you can make four moves of 3 points each. Again, you can move four checkers 3 times, move one checker 12 times if it lands on an open point after every move, or mix it up and move two checkers 6 times, or one checker 3 times and another checker 9 times. As long as the total moves add up to 12 and each move lands in an open...

Use a disposable spoon for easy cleanup. Stir everything for about 10 seconds, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that it all gets mixed together. It’s easiest to do this while the mixture is still warm, so do it right after you’ve melted the coconut oil and cocoa butter and added in whatever other ingredients you want to use. Coconut oil has a really low melting point, so don’t put this kind of gloss into an actual lip balm tube, as it is more likely to melt out of that kind of container. You can buy small, lidded tins online for less than a dollar a piece, or you may even be able to find them at your local dollar store or beauty store. Try hosting a lip gloss making party!

Use a drill to unscrew any hinges or tracks from your closet opening, and take off the old doors and set them aside. When you’re finished, the opening to your closet should be free of any obstructions. Use a tape measure to measure the distance between the floor and the top of your closet opening to get the height. Measure the height several times so you know your measurement is accurate. Write down the height somewhere so you have it for later. Take the tape measure and measure from one side of your closet opening to the other. Measure the width multiple times to ensure accuracy. When you're finished, write down the width so you can refer to it later. Sliding closet doors and tracks come in a variety of sizes. You’ll want to compare the measurements you took to the product specifications for the doors and tracks you're looking at so you know they'll fit in your closet opening. Look for a set of 2 sliding doors that comes with a pair of tracks.  Look for doors that are slightly shorter than the height of your closet opening. It’s OK if the tracks you buy are longer than the width of your closet. You can cut them to size later on. Just make sure the tracks aren’t shorter than the width of your closet or they’ll be too small. If you have a particularly wide closet, you may need to buy more than 2 doors. If you do, look for tracks that can hold 3 or more doors.

Use a feather duster and apply light pressure to remove dust from the keys. Even dust can scratch the piano, so be very gentle. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies as well, such as between the keys. Dust the piano every couple days to prevent dust from settling on the piano and making its way into the soundboard and the action mechanism. Find a clean white cloth made of a soft and lint-free material like flannel or microfiber. Wet the cloth with clean water, and then wring out as much of the water as possible. Clean a few keys at a time by gently rubbing them with the damp cloth in a back-to-front direction. Immediately go over those keys with a dry cloth to remove any excess water before cleaning more keys.  Avoid coarse cloths, synthetic materials, and paper towels, all of which can scratch the keys. Don't use colored materials, because they can transfer dye to the piano. Don't use a side-to-side motion when cleaning, because this can push dirt and moisture down between the keys. To identify ivory keys, look for a grain that runs in the direction of the keys, fine splits, warped areas, and a matte finish. Because plastic keys are synthetic and not porous like ivory, you can clean them with extra cleaning products if necessary. Plastic keys will always be perfectly flat and smooth, and they won't have a grain or warp marks like ivory ones. To clean plastic keys, you'll need a cloth damp with water and cleaning solution, a cloth damp with just water, and a dry cloth.  Fill a small bowl with clean water and a few drops of liquid dish detergent or vinegar.  Mix the solution, then dip in a clean white flannel or microfiber cloth. Wring out the excess water and gently rub a few keys using the back-to-front motion. Take the cloth that's damp with clean water and go over those keys to remove excess cleaning solution. Go over the keys with the dry cloth. Repeat with a few more keys until all the keys are clean and dry.

Use a flat pointed trowel to apply a 2-3" layer of mortar to the wire frame.  Build the rock from the bottom up.     Make a layer of mortar around the base of the rock and work upwards around the wire frame. Create a realistic looking rock by adding contours and patterns to the surface of the mortar.  Use your trowel to create dips and creases in the surface of the mortar. Press a real rock into the mortar to make imprints of the rock's texture. Press a sea sponge or scouring pad into the rock to create pock marked look. Wrap a plastic bag around your hand and press it into the mortar to give a wrinkled look. The curing process is a result of a chemical reaction, not the cement drying out. Although 75% of the curing is completed after one week, it may take up to a month for cement to cure completely.

Continue to do this as you lay new bricks to prevent mortar from bunching up and creating large chunks on the bricks. You can also use a large, clean sponge to even out the mortar with the face of the bricks. The goal is to brush away dust on the face of your brick rather than wiping the mortar dust deeper into the brick. Avoid pressing down on the brush and wipe away from the surface of the brick. Use a back and forth motion until the mortar dust on the face of your wall is removed. 2 inches (5.08cm) from the wall to prevent mortar splatter. A scaffold should be set up 2 inches (5.08cm) from the wall to prevent mortar splatter at the base of your wall. Scaffold boards that are closest to the wall should be angled away and slightly downward from the wall. Lay down straw, fabric drop cloths, or plastic sheeting on the base of the wall to prevent mortar drippings from staining the base of your wall. These drop clothes should extend 3 to 4 feet (91.44 cm) from the base of your wall. You can also use plywood or oriented strand board. If any mortar drips on the wooden boards, you can reuse it as long as it didn't get dirty. If you take all of these precautionary measures, but large clumps of mortar still end up on your wall, you should allow them to dry and then attempt to remove them using the chisel or acid method.

If you used plain water and did not infuse the shampoo with dried herbs, you can safely store the entire bottle in your shower. If you infused the water with dried herbs, you must store the bottle in the refrigerator. It will go bad if left out at room temperature for more than one or two days. It will last for about 10 days in the refrigerator. Around the 10 day mark, be sure to smell the mixture before using it.  If it smells sour, throw it out and make a new batch. If it smells good, the shampoo is still usable. For convenience, you can transfer some of the shampoo to a small bottle and keep that in your shower for one or two days without it going bad.

Use a garden shovel to dig a hole in the dirt deep enough to cover the root and bottom of the plant. Remove the azalea from its container and loosen the roots. If it is pot-bound (roots tightly circling and too close together) you may need to cut some roots in order to do this. Dig a few inches wider than the ball of the root, and set the azalea upright in the hole so that the top of the root ball is slightly above the surface of the ground. Drop soil into the hole around the plant. Spread it around and under the azalea, and lightly pat it into place with your fingertips.  Wet the azalea before planting. Dip the root ball in a bucket of water, or use a hose to lightly dampen it, before setting the azalea into the ground.  If you are planting more than one azalea, make sure the holes are space several feet apart. Water the plant and the soil slowly and thoroughly. Water again the day after planting. The plants must be watered at least once per week, unless they are in direct sunlight, in which case they must be watered more frequently. Take care not to let the azalea dry out, or it will wither. Use pine bark, pine needles, sawdust or wood chips between the bushes. This will keep the soil moist and the temperature of the dirt even. Mulch will also help keep out weeds. A good time to re-apply mulch might be after the blooms have faded. If your soil is rich and acid, there is probably no need to fertilize and generally azaleas grow quite well without extra nutrients. In fact, over-fertilizing is often worse than not fertilizing at all since their shallow root systems can be damaged by fertilizer. If you do need to fertilize, do it in spring, right after the azalea blooms. Use an acid forming fertilizer like cottonseed meal, or choose a special azalea fertilizer. Improper fertilizing can also cause the plant to bloom at the wrong time, so be sure to fertilize only if required.

If you are using peanut butter where the oil and solid peanut butter have separated, mix the peanut butter to make sure that the peanut oil is thoroughly mixed into the butter. The oils are what break down the gum fibers and help you to remove them, while the butter is easier to coat onto the gum. Some peanut butter will stain leather. It is always best to apply a small amount of peanut butter somewhere inconspicuous on your leather (so that if it does stain the leather, no one will notice). Give it an hour or so, wipe it away, and apply a leather conditioner. If it has stained the leather, do not use it to remove the gum. Try to get as little of the peanut butter on to the leather as possible, since oil can stain leather if left for too long. Let the peanut butter sit on the gum for several hours. During this time, the peanut butter will break down fibers in the gum, making it easier to remove from the leather. Use a slightly damp, clean towel to wipe away the peanut butter and gum. The gum should easily come up with the peanut butter. If there is some left, apply saddle soap and rub in a circular motion to get rid of the gum remnants. Once the spot has dried, apply some leather conditioner to restore any damage done to your leather.

Use a heavy-bottomed pan for best results. Make sure you have your ingredients within arms' reach before you turn on the heat. For this method, you’ll need 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of sliced almonds and, optionally, a small amount of butter or coconut oil. Use a wooden spoon to stir, or simply shake the pan using the handle. This will prevent the nuts from burning. As they start to cook, you will see a small amount of moisture forming on top of the almonds. This is the oil being released from the nuts by heat, which will create a rich, nutty flavor.  Although the stovetop method is quick and easy, the almond slices tend to roast a little unevenly. It's important to keep the almonds moving. If the pan you are using has a metal handle, make sure to use an oven mitt when shaking to avoid burning your hand.

Use a hoe or rake to turn over the soil before planting, so that you don’t have to force the peanut into the soil. Plant each peanut about 2 inches (5.1 cm) deep. Place each of the peanuts about 8 inches (20 cm) apart from one another in a row.  If the soil is tightly packed, add a combination of aged compost and sand to loosen the soil up. Sand and compost can be purchased at a local hardware store. If you’d rather start with a more mature plant, purchase a peanut bush from a local plant nursery. Be sure to still plant the peanut bush in moist soil. While peanuts are typically associated with the American south, they can actually be grown anywhere that’s sunny and warm during the summer. Peanuts thrive in hot, sunny environments, so plant them in a location that receives plenty of sun each day. If you live in a cool, temperate zone, plant your peanuts on a south-facing slope to maximize the amount of sun they’ll receive. Peanut plants can be delicate and may be killed by a late frost. Play it safe and wait a full month after the last frost before planting your peanuts outdoors. If you live in a cool climate, you may be concerned that the peanuts may not have enough of a growing season between 4 weeks after the last frost and the first frost of winter. In this case, plant your peanuts indoors 5-8 weeks earlier and then transplant them outside. When the plants reach 6 inches (15 cm) high, prod and loosen the soil surrounding each of your peanut plants. This will make it easier for the pegs to elongate and enter the soil. The pegs of a peanut plant are the long stalks which push into the soil and eventually develop into the peanuts themselves. Once you’ve loosened the soil around the plants, take a trowel or shovel and form a dome-shaped mound around the stalk of each peanut plant. Each mound should be about 3 inches (7.6 cm) high. These “hills” will help the peanut plants make air and nutrients more accessible to the plants. You can also add grass clippings or loose straw into the mounds to increase their...

Use a knife to carefully scrape all of the bark off of the stick. You can also use your hands to pick off the outer layer and then use a knife to help get any bark that’s left on. Use the knife to whittle the stick into a wand shape. Carefully scrape off layers of the wood to make one end of the stick more pointy. Take your time and whittle slowly until you get the shape you want.. Use the knife to carve patterns or runes into your wand. The different symbols you carve will bring different energies to your wand, so be careful what you choose. You can also char your wand to give the carved patterns a different look. Rub your entire wand with sandpaper to make it smooth. Continue to use the sandpaper to smooth the wood until the entire wand is finished. Your wand should be unique to you and represent your personal energies. Add embellishments to your wand to create a wand that will respond to you.  Drill a hole through the end of the wand to attach a leather carrying string. Attach feathers to the end of the wand. You can add additional decorative touches to the wand with metal wire or crystals. Choose gemstones or crystals that have a special meaning to you to provide positive energy to the wand.  Affix crystals and energy stones to the wand with glue. Wrap copper or silver wire around the wand to give it more strength.

Use a laundry spray to pretreat any stains on the hat. You can also spray this on the headband of the hat. If your hat has colored stitching or graphics, make sure your laundry spray is color-safe. If you have a laundry bag that is designed for washing delicate items, such as lingerie, you can use it to wash your hat. Washing your hat in a lingerie or laundry can add a degree of protection from the washing machine. After pretreating any stains, choose the appropriate cycle on your washing machine. For most hats, you will want to set it to a delicate or gentle cycle with cool or cold water. Wash the hat in the machine and remove once the cycle ends. You should never place your white hat in the dryer. Instead allow the hat to air dry outside. You can also allow the hat to dry in a well-ventilated area.

Use a local field guide or call your local Audubon Society chapter (if you live in the United States) to find out what grows naturally in your region, and add these plants to your garden. Native trees, shrubs, and plants are more likely to attract birds than non-native trees, shrubs, and plants. A variety of native trees, shrubs, and grasses will also provide natural shelter and cover for birds.  Evergreen trees and shrubs like hollies make great homes for birds over the winter. Many birds are attracted to fruit and berries, so consider planting an apple tree or planting a blueberry bush. Different species nest in different places, so it is a good idea to conduct research on the type of bird you wish to attract. If you plan to buy a birdhouse or build a nesting box, take note that boxes with different holes, shapes, and orientations will attract different species. Such a box can be mounted to a tree or hung from a pole. Make sure that the box is up no later than February if you are in a southerly location; if in the north, hang it in March. Make sure that your nest site has adequate ventilation and is supplied with a "baffle" and reinforcement ring at the opening. This will prevent predators from entering. If you would like to create a more natural nesting spot, an easy way to do it is to allow your yard to grow a bit wilder. Let the grass grow in a certain spot or build a brush pile. This simulates the type of habitat where birds nest in the wild. You might alternately heap branches into a large pile or create sites under your bushes by raking mulch around the base.  Consider supply nesting material such as string, hair, or other fibers, or stuff mesh bags with pieces of yarn or string, straw, pet fur, small bits of cloth, or anything else that a bird might use to nest. Don't remove dead trees unless they are a danger. Standing dead trees are important nesting and foraging spots for many species, especially woodpeckers, which eat the insects that infest dead trees.

Use a lunch-bag sized bag. Paper grocery bags will be too big. The bag should be clean, since you'll be breathing in and out of it. Breathe down into your belly, so that you fill up your lungs. Once you've taken the biggest breath possible, close your mouth.  When you take a very deep breath, your stomach will likely expand. This is normal. Make sure you don't accidentally breathe in or out through your mouth while you try to hold your breath. Place your mouth inside the paper bag. Hold the paper bag up to your face. Breathe all of the air into the paper bag, so that it blows up like a balloon.  Don’t put the paper bag over your head. Blowing into the paper bag may raise the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in your blood. This inhibits the spasms that cause hiccups. Breathe the air back in from the paper bag. Fill up your lungs with air. The bag will crumple and empty. When you’ve breathed in as much as you can, hold your breath for a few seconds. Breathe the air back into the paper bag. The bag will blow up again. Try to fill the bag completely with air. Wait 30 seconds to see if another hiccup comes. If it doesn’t, you’ve cured your hiccups! If the cure didn’t work, you can repeat as necessary. If another hiccup comes, you can begin the process again immediately. You don't need to wait 30 seconds.

Use a measuring tape to measure the length and width of the lawn. Multiply the two together to get your lawn's area. Try to get exact measurements so you purchase the right amount of sod. Too little sod will result in an uneven-looking lawn that doesn't grow in as healthy as it should. Too much sod can get very expensive, since it usually runs about $0.40 per square foot. If your lawn is not rectangular, sketch your lawn and divide it into rectangles, triangles, or other easily measured sections. Find the area of each section and add them all together. Choose a company that other people in your area have used before with successful results. The company should provide you with a few different options as to what type of grass will do well in your region. Don't be tempted to order from a faraway place just because it showcases beautiful grass on its website; chances are, the grass won't establish well in your climate. Choose a good company and talk with sales representatives to make a smart choice about what grass to grow.  It's best to choose a grass that's native to your area. This way you can ensure it will grow well in your climate. Cool season grasses (grasses that grow fastest in the spring and fall) like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and fine fescue grow best in the northern US states, where the winters are cold and the summers are hot. Warm season grasses (grasses that thrive in very hot weather) like Bermuda grass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, bahiagrass, and zoysiagrass, grow best in the southern states and subtropical regions. When you're deciding which grass to get, take use into account as well. Do you plan to walk over your grass frequently, and play sports or have parties on the lawn? Or do you just want a pretty lawn to gaze upon from the window? Some varieties are sturdy, some are soft, some are high maintenance, and some are more colorful than others. Tell the sales representative what you're looking for. Ask the representative whether they cut and deliver their...

Use a melon scoop or metal spoon to carve out the core; the hole should be about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) wide. Be sure to leave the bottom ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) of the apples intact. Choose good baking apples, such as Golden Delicious, Jonagold, or Rome Beauty. Use a sharp knife to draw a line around the apples, widthwise. Do this several times: near the top, around the middle, and towards the bottom. This will prevent the skin from breaking while the apple is baking. For fancier apples, you can also add some chopped pecans and/or chopped raisins. Each apple should get about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Cut the butter into four, equal-sized cubes, then drop each cube on top of each apple. When the butter melts, it will mix with the sugar, and give you a delicious sauce. The hot water will help keep the bottom of the apples from burning. It will also mix with the juices released by the apples, and give you a sort of sauce. They are ready when the flesh turns tender and is easily pierced with a fork. Take the apples out of the baking dish, and transfer them to a serving platter using a spatula. If you'd like, you can baste them with the juice collected at the bottom of the baking dish.

Use a mild soap to gently wash the outer parts of your vagina and the area around it. Don’t wash out the inside of your vagina. Make sure to wash your hands well. Rinse your vaginal area and hands to completely remove the soap. Pat your skin dry using a clean cotton cloth. Cleaning your vagina and hands can prevent the spread of bacteria into your vagina as you insert the suppository. Unwrap the suppository applicator from its packaging and determine if it's already pre-filled with the cream or tablet. If it isn't pre-filled, hold the applicator between your thumb and forefinger and use your other hand to place the cream or tablet at the other end of the applicator.  To fill an applicator with a cream suppository, connect the tube of cream to the applicator so that it's tightly attached. Squeeze the tube of cream till the correct dose is in the applicator. Remove the tube and save it for your next dose. The applicator provided for delivering a cream suppository usually has marks on it that tell you how much is in the applicator, such as 1 gram, 2 grams, etc. Stand with your legs and knees apart. Raise one foot up on a stool, the edge of the toilet, the bathtub or a chair. Or, you can lie on your back with your knees bent. Your feet should be about shoulder width apart.  Both of these positions will give you easier access to your vaginal opening which will make it easier to insert the suppository. Use your non-dominant hand to separate the lips (labia) of your vulva. This will expose your vagina. Keep it exposed while you use your dominant hand to place the suppository at the vaginal opening. Although it may seem difficult at first, try to relax. Remind yourself that it will take a little getting used to and you can continue to try until you successfully insert the suppository. Insert the suppository applicator or use your forefinger to insert the suppository into your vagina. Push it as far as is comfortable so that the suppository is in your vagina.

Use a non-gel toothpaste that has baking soda in it. Distribute the toothpaste along the entirety of the stain. Discard any excess toothpaste using a tissue.  If you have an old, soft-bristled toothbrush, you can use that to scrub the stained area instead. Just be careful when using a toothbrush, as the bulky head might make it harder to handle precisely.  Instead of toothpaste, try using a cotton swab dipped in vinegar or hairspray. The process for all three alternatives is the same, and each will act as an exfoliant to lift the hair dye from your skin. Just be careful not to get any of these products in your eyes. Apply a gentle pressure with the cotton swab to avoid irritating your skin with the toothpaste. If the cotton swab does not seem to be exfoliating your skin properly, put on a pair of gloves and rub the toothpaste using your finger. The gritty texture of the toothpaste, along with the reactive power of the baking soda, will lift the hair dye from your pores. Use an old washcloth that you don’t mind getting hair dye stains on, and wipe your skin clean. If the stains are completely removed, follow up by washing your face properly with soap and water. Repeat the process if needed, but make sure not to repeat the process too many times that you irritate your skin.

Use a pen, marker, or paint to title your notebook with your name or subject. You can write your name and your class subject, or any other relevant information. You can glue on a notecard or paper scrap before you write on your cover, if you wish. Find pictures you like, like animals, superheros, or cartoons.  Also try using pictures of your friends or family. You can take your pictures yourself, cut them out of magazines, or print them off the Internet. Apply a small amount of glue to your pictures and stick them to your cover.  You could use liquid  glue or a glue stick. You can cover as much of the notebook as you like to personalize your notebook. You can apply stickers as you go or plan out your cover before you start. Select stickers in a variety of sizes and that reflect your likes and interests.  You can also partially cover the pictures you've glued onto the notebook, for a layered effect. You can also make your own stickers and put them on your notebook. Try using 3-D stickers, too! If you still have open spaces on your cover, grab a marker and doodle to fill up space. Doodle stick people, hearts, stars, flowers, smiley faces--anything you'd like!  You can also save some open space and add drawings later. After you have created your collage, finish it off by adding a border to your notebook. You can glue fabric around the edges, using strips of material or ribbon. Or, try using washi tape to create your border.  If you're using fabric, you can apply it to your notebook by dabbing glue to the outside edges. Then, stick your fabric to your glue spots. Using a hot glue gun or fabric glue is recommended. If you are using washi tape, peel off the tape from the roll and apply it to the edge of your notebook, like you would a sticker. Apply washi tape in long pieces or in small sections.

Use a pencil and lightly sketch the oval so you can go back and erase lines as needed. This oval will be the top rim of the basket so make it wide enough for the fruit to fit inside. Keep in mind that you won't see all of the oval once you fill your basket with fruit. To sketch the basket, draw a large curve from 1 end of the oval down and back up to the other end. The bottom line of the oval will make your basket shape look like a thick crescent. To make a shallow bowl instead of a deep basket, draw a narrow crescent below the oval. Although most baskets don't have bases, you can draw a narrow ring at the bottom to give your basket something to balance on. To give your basket edge a woven look, make the ring for the base extend along the length of the basket. Sketch your surrounding oval so it's slightly larger than the first oval you drew. Make the larger oval slightly narrower on the side of the basket that will be farther away from you.  The distance between the 2 ovals will depend on the size of your drawing. For example, your ovals might only be about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) apart. Draw 1 curved line from the middle of the oval up and down to the opposite side of the oval. Then, make another curve that's parallel. Make the distance between them as wide as you'd like the handle to be. If you don't want your basket to have a handle, you can skip this step. You can make your basket weaving as simple or complex as you like. Start by drawing lines that curve from the top left down to the bottom right of the basket. Keep making the lines about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) apart, for instance. Then, repeat this but make the curves go from the top right down to the bottom left.  If you don't want to make the basket look woven, use a pencil and blending stump to shade the bottom and 1 side of the basket. Refer to a real basket or photograph of a fruit basket in order to get ideas for the basket weave or style.

Use a pencil so you can go back and erase lines as needed. Sketch lightly so you can add details as you go. Keep in mind that this large rectangle will make up the bulk of your cartoon car, so draw the rectangle as long and as wide as you want the car to be. Draw your car in pencil regardless of whether you color it or not, since you'll need to erase some lines as you work. Then, you can go back and color in the car with colored pencils, crayons, or markers if you like. If you'd like the cartoon car to appear somewhat realistic, make a trapezoid on top of the rectangle so it's centered.  To draw an exaggerated-looking car, make a dome or half-circle on top of the large rectangle instead. You can center the dome or place it to one end of the car. To draw a trapezoid, sketch a smaller rectangle on top of the large rectangle and erase the 2 short sides. Then, draw the short sides so they slope down at an angle to meet the top of the large rectangle. To determine how much space to leave between the wheels, imagine 2 circles that are the same size as the wheels placed in between the wheels for your car.  The bottom line of the rectangle should run straight through the center of the wheels for your cartoon car. If it helps, draw 4 circles that are touching across the bottom line of the rectangle. Then, erase the middle 2 circles. Use an eraser to remove the line that's running through the wheels. Then, take your pencil and sketch around the body of the car, making it rounded instead of boxy. If you prefer an angular cartoon car, you can skip this. If you sketch rounded curves along the edges of the car's body, use your eraser to clean up the corners. Make the rectangle extend about halfway from the wheel to the front or back of the car so it sticks out from the body a little bit. This will make it look like the bumper. Repeat this for the other wheel. Don't draw a rectangle between the 2 wheels since this is where the car doors would be. Draw a circle or oval on the front of the car's body.

Use a pick, a toothpick, or even a narrow piece of pecan shell to scrape the woody shell material and lining from the fissures in the nut meat. Even a small amount of this material left in the nut can leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the person who consumes it. This will allow the nuts to dry out and season, giving them a better flavor when eaten. Place the seasoned pecans in a sealed container and store them in a cool, dry place.

Use a plastic cutting surface to avoid contaminating a wooden cutting board. Put a teaspoon or two of cooking oil in the pan and allow it to get smoking hot. Let them cook on one side for 15 seconds, then turn them to the other side using a pair of tongs. They should form a thick, crunchy crust on both sides.  Don't turn the steaks until they've seared; moving them too soon will prevent the crust from forming. Don't crowd the steaks in the pan. If necessary, cook the steaks in more than one batch. For rare steaks, cook for a total of 1 1/2 minutes on each side. For medium rare steaks, cook for a total of 2 minutes on each side. For medium well steaks, cook for a total of 2 1/2 minutes on each side. For well done steaks, cook for 3 or more minutes on each side. This allows the juices to distribute through the steak.

Use a pocket knife to poke two small holes in the lip of one side of the roasting pan.  Ask an adult to do this step. Choose one of the shorter ends. This will now be the top of your gong. The holes should be 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) apart. The tip of a scissors blade could also be used instead of a pocket knife. Place one pipe cleaner into each hole. Securely twist the ends of each pipe cleaner together.  Each pipe cleaner should form a loop with the ends twisted together. You'll need two loops (one in each hole). The loops should be 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) in diameter. Slide the cardboard tube of a wrapping paper roll or paper towel roll through the pipe cleaner loops, centering the loops on the tube.  You could use a broomstick, measuring stick, or other large stick instead of the cardboard tube if desired. Just make sure that the stick itself is longer than the width of your roasting pan gong. This tube or stick will act as the support for your gong. Place two desk or dining room chairs back to back. Rest the support on the back tops of both chairs so that the gong hangs in place.  For added security, you could hold the support in place using more pipe cleaners. Alternatively, you could use two large, thick books or any other evenly sized sturdy pieces instead of the chairs. This "stand" needs to be able to stay in place without additional support, though. Wrap electrical tape around one end of the chopstick, overlapping the tape until it forms a thick mass.  Instead of a chopstick, you could also use a wooden spoon or 12-inch (30.5-cm) wooden dowel. The taped portion of the stick will be the head of your beater. The head should be about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) thick. To play the gong, simply strike the bottom, flat side of the roasting pan with the head of your beater.

Vacuuming removes fleas, ticks, flea eggs, and tick eggs, so it’s important not to skip this step.  Vacuum the pillows and cushions on your sofa. If possible, use the vacuum extension to clean the underside of your sofa and other soft furniture. Concentrate on the areas your pets frequent, such as rooms where they play and sleep.  Don't forget to vacuum out your closets, too, especially if they're carpeted. If you think your car may also be infested, give it a thorough vacuuming, too, so that you don't end up carrying fleas and ticks back into the house. Use the hot water cycle to wash your couch cushion covers, blankets, bed linens, and clothes. Use the highest dryer setting to dry them thoroughly and make sure all insects and their eggs are removed.  If you have an item that could be damaged by washing it in hot water, like a wool coat, put it in a plastic bag and seal it. Plan to take it to the dry cleaner to make sure no fleas and ticks are hiding there. Wash camping tents, tarps, and other fabrics that could make a home for fleas and ticks.

Use a prop associated with psychic readings, like a crystal ball or a tarot card. Choose something that will create a more believable atmosphere for your subject and distract them while you're thinking of things to say. For example, you could look into a crystal ball and say something like “Just a moment, I think I’m getting something," when you need a minute to come up with your next line. Choose someone in the crowd and observe them for a while. Listen for any useful information they might share about their life that you can use later on. When you're ready to begin, tell that person that you sense a powerful energy coming from them and you'd like to read them first. For example, if you hear someone mention their best friend Mike, you could bring up the name Mike during the reading to prove you're a true messenger of the spirit world. Don’t make crazy claims about your powers that will set you up for failure. The lower you set the bar for yourself, the easier it will be to meet or surpass your subject’s expectations. You want your subject to be surprised, not disappointed. For example, instead of bragging about how you can read someone’s mind, say something more modest, like “I'm able to sense things that are troubling people, and their problems come to me in bits and pieces. I could try reading you if you’d want that.” Let them know it's up to them to piece together and make sense of the information you’re conveying. You're simply the messenger. This takes the responsibility of connecting the dots off of you and places it on them. For example, before the reading you could say something like “The spirit world relays information to me in mysterious ways, so it’s up to you to make meaning of the things I’m about to tell you.”
