You cannot nail a floor onto concrete, so if you have a concrete subfloor, you may need to install a wooden underlay first. A more stable solution, though more expensive, may be to purchase floating floor materials. This includes a layer of foam or other material as an underlay, then click-together floorboards that do not require nails. If there is a room below the floor you are installing, remove chandeliers, ceiling fans, and other fixtures while you are installing. The pressure of the pneumatic nail gun could shake them loose through the floor joists. Leave a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) space between the bamboo floorboards and the wall to allow for any slight expansion of the floorboards. Place them across the floor joists, and start against an outside wall if possible to establish your line. Fit each plank together using the tongues and grooves. Using spacers is recommended. These are simply thin or wedge-shaped objects placed between the floor and the wall to keep them separate. Use a table saw or circular saw to cut the last floorboard to the correct length. Save the excess board to begin the next row. Drilling the holes before nailing reduces the chance of bending or breaking the board. Drill at a 45–50º angle from the side of the board, so the next row of planks will hide the nails. Make sure the holes you drill are smaller than the nails you are using.  Each board should be drilled (and nailed) approximately every 10 inches (25 cm), and about 4 inches (10cm) from each end. Do not drill closer than 4 inches (10cm) from the end to avoid splitting the board. If your subfloor has raised floor joists, make sure your hole is over one of these so the board can be securely nailed. Test on a piece of scrap or defective bamboo floorboard first to see if the gun and nails are appropriate for your wood. If it "dimples" with a raised or cracked mark, test again with a different air pressure. Warning: put on safety goggles before using a nail gun. Nail the boards in place through the guide holes you drilled. A professional...

You cannot play Presidents with fewer than 4 people. If you want to include more than 7, however, you will need to shuffle a second deck of cards into the pile. Go around the circle until all of the cards have been dealt. Some players may have one more card than other players, which is fine. This card always starts the first round. Other than this one card, no one else should reveal which cards are in their hand. The rank of a card is the number. The lowest rank is a 3 and the highest rank is an ace. Cards with a 2 do not have a rank. For example, after the first person puts down the 3 of clubs, the player to their left must put down a 4 or higher. If the second player puts down a 4, the third player must put down a 5 or higher. They cannot put down a 3. Take away all of the cards in the pile and put them aside until the next round. The person who put the 2 down can now choose any card and play it. The person after them now has to outrank this new card. A 2 card cannot be the last card that you play in your hand. If you only have a 2 card left and you play it, you automatically lose the game, becoming the “scumbag” or “a-hole.” You can put down 2 or more cards of the same rank on the pile. In this case, the next person has to match this with the same number of cards but of a higher rank.  So if you put down a pair of 5’s, the next person must put down a pair of 6’s or higher. They cannot put down 1 king (even though it outranks a 6) or a pair of 4’s (because although they have a matching pair, 4 is a lower rank). If all 4 cards of a number are put down, the pile is cleared. So if 4 aces are put down, you clear the pile and the last person to play sets down a new card. If you cannot outrank the top card on the pile, say pass. People may keep passing until someone puts a card down. If the entire circle of players says pass, clear the pile. The last person to play a card can now put down any card of their choice. There are 3 ranks in this game based on who lost their cards first and last. Once you have run out...

You cannot put up with criticism indefinitely. Criticism can reach a point where it's no longer tolerable. It's one thing for your roommate to get on your case about taking the garbage out. However, some critical people begin giving unsolicited advice about your personal and professional life. In this case, you should assert yourself.  Be firm, but also be kind. You do not want to be aggressive or disrespectful. This can escalate the situation and lead to an argument instead of a resolution.  Simply state your concern in simple, concrete terms. For example, say your roommate is on your case about your relationship with your girlfriend. Say something like, "I appreciate that you're concerned about how much time me and Madeline spend together. It's nice to know you care about me enough to express this. However, I think my relationship is pretty stable. At the moment, I'm happy and don't need advice. If that changes in the future, I'll let you know." Even if it's hard, it can sometimes be helpful to try to objectively examine the criticism. If you try to understand where the other person is coming from, you can more effectively address the issues.  First, consider what is being criticized. Is it something you can control? If so, maybe you could make the effort to change. You could try doing your dishes after using them. However, critical people have a tendency to nitpick people about things they cannot change. If you tend to laugh loudly when watching funny movies, this is more of a personality trait than a conscious choice. In this case, the criticism may be unfair.  How is the criticism expressed? If you're living with someone, you need to be able to communicate. If you're doing something that bothers your living partner, that person has a right to express him or herself. However, how criticism is expressed matters. If the other person is yelling, using foul language, or otherwise being harsh, this is not reasonable.  Why is this person criticizing you? Do you think your roommate genuinely wants you to change,...

You cannot rip an ISO file from CDs with read/write protection (e.g., audio CDs or movie DVDs). Open the Menu, then click Terminal to open it. The Terminal app is how you'll access the command line, which is similar to Command Prompt on Windows or Terminal on Mac.  Linux distributions vary in appearance, so you may have to look for the Terminal app inside of a folder in the Menu section. You might also find Terminal on the desktop, or in a toolbar on the top or bottom of the screen. Type in cd /home/username/, making sure to use your own username for the username section, and press ↵ Enter. This will change your current directory to the home folder. For example, if your username is "teresa", you would type in cd /home/teresa/. Type in dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/username/iso-name.iso, making sure to replace the "/dev/cdrom" section with with your CD's location and the "iso-name" section with your preferred ISO file name.  For example, you would type of=/home/username/pudding.iso to create an ISO file called "pudding" in the home directory. If you have multiple CD drives attached to the computer, your CD drives will be labelled from 0 up (e.g., the first drive will be labelled something like "cd0", the second will be "cd1", and so on). As long as your CD's directory is correct, your computer will create an ISO file from the CD's contents and place it in the home directory. You may be prompted to enter your password before the ISO file is created. If so, type in your password and press ↵ Enter.

You cannot use eyeshadow to make blue eyes look brown, and vice versa. You can, however, use eyeshadow to enhance the color you already have. Depending on the eyeshadow color you use, you may be able to make your eyes appear brighter, duller, or more pale in color. Some eye colors, such as hazel and grey, may be able to pick up tints from certain eyeshadow colors. This section will show you how to use eyeshadow to alter your eye color. Orange-tinted colors, such as coral and champagne, work especially well on blue eyes. They will make your eyes appear brighter and bluer than they actually are. Eyeshadow that is already blue may make your eyes appear lighter or paler. Here are some more color combinations for you to try:  For daily, casual wear, try neutral tones, such as: brown, taupe, terra-cotta, or anything orange-tinted. For a special night out, try some metallics, such as gold, copper, or bronze. Avoid anything too dark, especially if you have fair skin. When choosing eyeliner, go for brown or dark brown instead. It will be less harsh than black. People with brown eyes can wear almost any color, but cool colors, such as purple and blue, will really help brighten brown eyes. Here are some options for you to try:  For casual days, stick with browns. To make your eyes really stand out, try a silvery-brown or a peachy brown.  If you are feeling more adventurous, try wearing blues, grays, greens, or purples. For a special night out, you can try metallics, such as: bronze, copper, or gold. A green-tinted gold will also work well.  If you have dark brown or black eyes, try some jewel shades instead, such as bright blue or violet. You can also get away with silver and chocolate. Gray eyes tend to pick up whatever color is around them. This means that you can use eyeshadow to give your gray eyes a blueish or greenish tint. If you want to bring out the gray tones that are already there, stick with sooty, smoky shades, like silver, charcoal, or black. Here are some tips on how to bring out the blues and greens in...

You can’t control whether other people accept you as you are, but you can control whether you do. If, for instance, you’re naturally quiet and have a disinterested and indifferent attitude to many things in life, accept that as your truth. So long as you aren’t causing harm, there’s no reason you can’t be who you are and be proud about it. Instead of wishing you were different, take the time to really learn about yourself. Identify and celebrate the positives about “you being you,” and identify paths toward self-improvement when appropriate. Learn to recognize your honest feelings and reactions, then decide which you want to keep and which you want to adjust. Make it your goal to be the best version of yourself. Don’t ignore your shortcomings, but also don’t berate yourself for having shortcomings. Identify them, learn from them, and strive to make improvements, but don’t try to completely change who you are. Introverts, especially those who are both quiet and cold by nature, sometimes get labeled as “dark, “disturbed,” or even “dangerous.” These are rarely fair or true labels, but if you feel like your thoughts or actions aren’t good for your own wellbeing or the wellbeing of others, never be ashamed to seek professional help.  Talk to your primary care doctor for referrals to mental health professionals. A good therapist won’t try to change who you are. Instead, they’ll use various techniques to help you bring out a healthier version of yourself.

You can’t give your girlfriend an unforgettable birthday if you forget her birthday. If you don’t know it, ask her. Proper birthday planning doesn’t happen the night before, and you’ll never even know it’s the night before if you don’t ask. You want advance warning for the preparations you should undertake. This should go without saying when it comes to maintaining a healthy relationship and being a functional conversationalist for your partner, but double down when her birthday draws near. The most obvious of hints will be missed without effort.   While you’re shopping together, guess what! She will talk about things she likes. Start a list using the notes function on your smartphone, or keep a small notebook in your bookbag (do be discrete when writing in it, though). Hints can come while you’re both vegging out on the couch idly surfing the web or halfway-watching Netflix. If she’s got her iPad or phone open, keep an ear out for stray comments with gift potential. This extends out of the realm of gifts, as well. Only by actively listening could you know, for example, that your girlfriend hates surprise parties because she was savagely ridiculed by her best friends at one in the tenth grade about the print of her pajamas and it would be a terrible idea to plan such a thing for her today. Don’t assume she will like something because you like something. Even if it's just a few of you hanging around during lunch, she's more inclined to speak freely about interests of hers that she thinks you're not interested in hearing about. Don't let these freely given gift ideas (or opinions which could warn you away from bad gift ideas) go to waste! She is, of course, under no obligation to directly tell you what she wants, but simply asking is a straightforward solution which can leave both parties happier.  If she says she doesn’t want anything, it doesn’t mean “literally don’t do anything.” Small gestures like cooking dinner, or crafts which commemorate your time together can be appreciated even if she doesn’t want a...

You can’t have your best day if you’re tired and irritable, so you want to be well-rested. You may want to get into bed early in case you have trouble falling asleep.  Children between the ages of 6 and 13 should aim for 9 to 11 hours of sleep.  Teenagers typically need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep.  Adults usually require 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.  To ensure some quality sleep, try lowering your lights about two hours before you plan to go to bed to get your body ready for rest. You may want to stop watching TV or playing around online approximately an hour before you plan to go to sleep to give your brain time to calm down. The earlier that you start your day, the more time that you have to make it positive and happy. Even getting up 10 or 15 minutes earlier may give you more time in the morning, so you don't feel as rushed or stressed as you begin the day. If you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, try setting your alarm 10 minutes before you actually want to get up. That will give you a little time to lie in bed and let your mind and body get ready to face the day. It may sound silly, but taking a few minutes to picture the good things that you hope will happen during the day in your head can help improve your mood and get you started on the right foot. You can do it before you get out of bed or in a comfortable chair where you can close your eyes and allow the vision to come together. Be as detailed as possible, and keep your thoughts positive.  You start your visualization with something as basic as how delicious your breakfast will be and move onto what route you'll take to work or school, how well the presentation you have scheduled will go until you reach the end of your day. While you're visualizing your day, feel free to imagine even further into the future to the rest of the week, month, or even year. That will help establish a lasting sense of positivity for your life. Listening to your favorite inspirational song as you visualize your day may help really bring the image to...

You can’t help a friend if you retreat when problems arise. To be a good friend, you need to be there for late night talks or tears. For some people, a friend’s hardship is an annoyance. That’s not really friendship.  Even if they say they want to be alone, at least make the offer. However, you should not force them to talk when they are not ready to do so.   Give them the space they ask for, then reach out again. Several times. Don’t run away. Sometimes people aren’t sure what to say when a friend is going through a hardship, so they say nothing or distance. This could hurt your friend more. The number one goal should be to offer support. Just knowing someone is willing to listen or offer advice or cares can make all of the difference to a friend going through hardship.  Call, text or write and just ask, “How are you? Is there anything you need or that I can to do?” Part of reaching out is just being available. Keep your cell phone on, and talk to them at 2 a.m. if they are in a crisis. Answer their texts. Don’t always be too busy to listen. Don’t feel you have to act differently.  Pick the right setting, and avoid ambushing them if they aren't ready to talk. Be the rock in the storm they can cling to, and think of yourself as offering them an anchor. If you are also upset about the hardship, try not to let it show.  Do not freak out. This will only make the friend feel like the problem is bigger or unsolvable, so it will make them more upset. Recognize that some people just need to feel badly for a while, and that’s okay. Although you should show empathy, showing them that you pity them excessively might make them feel worse. Don’t take impulse actions that might make the problem worse for the friend. After all, you don’t understand your friend’s problem as much as they do. Ask your friend before you do anything to help them rectify the situation. See how they feel about it (unless they are in danger or being abused, then you have to tell someone immediately). You should be a good listener, but it can also...

You can’t know if you’ve got a talent for guitar if you never try to play guitar. Ditto didgeridoo, knitting, badminton, and Tuvan throat singing. Find a talent that seems cool and learn everything you can about it. Find out what it takes and see what you've got. If you never try, you'll never know. You’re not going to find a talent without trying. You can only find your natural abilities, skills, and talents when you test your mettle and actively seek new experiences. Face down obstacles and seek out challenges to see what innate skills and abilities you might be hiding.  Make it your goal to try something new every week. You might not discover something that you're super-talented at, but maybe you pick up a guitar one day and find out it feels comfortable in your hands and decide to learn more. Maybe you discover an ability to connect with animals at the shelter, something you'd never experienced before. Maybe you learn you're an ace at the Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball machine at the laundromat. That's the start of talent.     Get outside and scrape your knees. Go on adventures and experience the world in its natural habitat. Try out different sports, outdoor hobbies like fishing, hiking, and climbing to see if you've got an untapped natural ability or an instinct for it. What comes naturally to you? What do you do without thinking? What do you love? Look to your obsessions and your interests for the possibility of talent. If you love to spend all day doodling, reading, or dancing, there's no point in wasting time wishing you had a talent for baking. Focus on the talents you do have by focusing on what comes easiest to you.  If you're in school, what homework comes most easily to you? What worries you the least? That might clue you in to natural talents. Pay attention to what other people might have noted about you. It’s common that others might have a keener sense of what you're good at than you will yourself. Ask your family, your friends, and your teachers to help you figure out what you make...

You can’t manage a team until you learn more about individual team members. You need to know their strengths and weaknesses, as well as what motivates them. There are many formal and informal ways to get to know your team.  Read prior employee evaluations. They should identify each employee’s strengths and weaknesses. Stop and chat. One advantage of being the first to arrive and the last to leave is that you have plenty of time to talk informally with people. Ask how their job is going and what they need help with. Host a team dinner once a month and encourage staff to bring along their significant others. Pick up the tab. Seeing people interact informally can reveal a lot about what motivates them in life. You’re going to have to establish a communication style. However, you won’t immediately know what works with your team. At your weekly meeting, pay attention to how your team responds. Some team members might hate regular meetings and prefer communication by email. You’ll need to tailor your management style to the members of your team, which might mean holding one-on-one meetings with team members to see how things are going. Giving feedback is an art, and the only way to learn is to practice. Make sure your feedback is sufficiently specific and actionable. You don’t just want to boost someone’s self-esteem. You want your team members to leave knowing what they should do in future situations.  Use “I” language instead of “you” language. “I think it’s more effective to listen when a customer complains” is better than, “You only made things worse when you argued with that customer.”  Your feedback should focus on actionable solutions. Give employees concrete steps to follow. New managers might think they need to have all of the answers, but listening is vital. Involve your team as much as you can. Ask them what ideas they have for solving problems, and implement the ones that are sensible. Always remember to give credit where credit is due.

You care for this person even knowing his or her faults. You are committed to sticking together even through the most difficult circumstances. You can tell this person anything about yourself, even if the truth doesn't flatter you, and you know that your partner will accept you. There is no way to make a person love you, although actions do speak louder than words. If you are the one always giving and getting very little in return, you might consider asking a trusted friend or family member, one with your best interests at heart, what they see. Most of the time those on the outside are more likely to see things that you don't because love is blind. You know that your partner will stand by you no matter what, and you are prepared to commit to your partner for the rest of your life. You have known the person for a long time, and you can't imagine life without him or her. You want to know everything about the person and want to spend time getting to know them on a deeper level. Something funny has happened to you at work, and you can't wait to tell your partner. Alternatively, you've had a bad experience, and you want to talk to someone who will understand. If your partner is the first person that you think about when you want to share your innermost thoughts, then you may be in love. You have mutual respect for each other. When you have an argument with your partner, you keep working until you are able to find some common ground. No argument can erase your commitment to one another, and you appreciate your partner speaking the truth even when it's painful. Even if you don't agree with your partner you will always take their side and defend them in front of your family and friends. You feel comfortable with your partner, and you feel a strong bond of trust. They should feel like your partner, in that marriage or moving in together feels natural because life is better with them. Your family and friends should know all about the person, and you have the reflex to stand up and protect the person from any nay-sayers.

You come off as doubting yourself when you undermine your accomplishments or speak negatively about yourself. When you speak well of yourself you seem prideful, but you have to navigate this part carefully to prevent coming off as conceited. Be humble but genuine, and others will take note.  Rather than self-deprecate yourself to make others like you, be willing to show your human side. Share stories about struggles or mistakes to let others know that you are a work in progress, just like they are. For example, a coworker tells you “You can’t relate to my situation. You’ve never had a negative performance review.” Respond  with “That’s not true. When I first started here, it took me several months to get the hang of things. Our supervisor was actually thinking about letting me go. I guess I just never shared that with anyone.” Cocky people often behave like the world revolves around them. They may show up late and shove their responsibilities onto the laps of others because they think the work is beneath them. Exhibit pride in yourself by being the opposite—show up early (or on time) to commitments and be consistent in your efforts. If you’re ever running late or default on a promise, apologize and try to rectify the situation. Cocky people just go on with their lives, with little to no concern for other’s feelings. Apologizing shows empathy and lets people see your flawed, human side. If you’re late for a meeting, you might say, “Hey, everyone, I just wanted to apologize for my tardiness. I know each of you have things to do, so I’m sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen again.” Gossiping makes you look insecure and jealous. To show pride in yourself, never engage in belittling others or sharing their secrets and scandals. Conduct yourself with integrity by keeping most of your language positive about others, particularly if they are not present to defend themselves. If you find yourself in the midst of gossip, leave the environment or try to change the subject.

You could do this in many ways. The important thing is to show the person you are crushing on that you are not ready to give into them right away.  Have a few supplies with you, to occupy yourself, for when you see your crush like:  A book or a magazine A pen and a sketchbook A cell phone A large part of having a crush involves some degree of ignoring someone. Don't go out of your way. If you appear to be unaffected by this person's presence, you'll appear to look normal.  This can be a difficult step if you're head over heels. Do not make it too apparent that you are trying to ignore them. It could be obvious if you're trying too hard. Stay calm and collected. When you see them do not gaze at them too directly. Play with the circumstance by giving them sly looks and then appear distracted by looking around the room.  Try to give off a slight smile on your face and in your eyes if they catch your eye contact. This is a great calming method that hits at the core of why you don't feel normal. The worst possible outcome from appearing awkward and nervous around your crush is not life threatening.  By accepting the larger picture of the world, you may be able to relax about your feelings towards your crush. A lot of people feel like the social microscope is fixed on them, but the reality is that most people are concerned about themselves. People are not watching you and looking for an opportunity to scrutinize you. You don't want to ask your crush if they want to hang out. If they're nearby, talk with your friends about your plans for the weekend. If you're in a situation where you're talking to them about your plans, don't ask them to join you. They'll seek it out if they're interested. You could even talk about how you and your friends are "trying to get a big group together" for yada yada.  Then make it obvious that they could come if they ask. It is normal to acknowledge people. Nothing detrimental will happen if you give them a casual hello, or even just a wave or smile.

You could either use an at home waxing kit or get the facial hair waxed away in a salon. Waxing removes hair from the root, so it's an effective way to get a smooth face. It irritates some people's skin, though.   Warm wax should be applied to the desired area using the applicator that comes with the kit and then allowed to cool. Use your fingers to pull the cold wax off of your skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth.  Regular waxing can reduce regrowth because this technique interrupts the development of hair follicles. If your skin is sensitive to wax, you could try sugaring, which is a natural method similar to waxing. Add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice to 1/4 cup water. Boil until it turns into a paste. It needs to simmer about 25 minutes and turn amber brown. Let it cool. Dust your skin with corn starch or baby powder. Apply the mixture in the opposite direction of hair growth. Put a rag on it, and then pull it off. Depilatories are chemical products that remove unwanted facial hair from the surface of the skin. The chemicals dissolve the hair into a gel-like substance.  Apply the depilatory to the skin. Leave the product on the skin based on the timing instructions that come with the product. Once the product has been on the skin for the required length of time, wipe it off of your skin with a clean cloth. Hair regrows a few days after using a depilatory. Depilatories can be purchased across the counter. One problem with depilatories is that they have a strong chemical smell. Bleaching doesn't remove unwanted facial hair. However, it can make it harder to see.  The trick is making sure the product matches your skin tone.   If you have heavy hair growth, this is not a good solution for you. Bleaching regularly can irritate the skin. So you should test it out on a small patch of the skin before using it more heavily. If you do bleach, stay out of the sun for at least an hour. If you don't, the skin could have a bad reaction.

You could get breakouts for reasons ranging from internal hormones to external environmental factors. If you’re struggling to control those factors on your own, talk to a dermatologist. They can help you develop a holistic acne treatment plan that may include diet and lifestyle changes, a new or enhanced skincare routine, and/or acne medication. A doctor is the only one who can get you prescription-strength medication if over-the-counter treatments and home remedies aren’t helping with your acne. Washing your face every day helps remove the dead skin, sebum, and bacteria that promotes acne. Look for a face wash that is formulated for acne-prone skin. Your dermatologist or doctor can help you with recommendations for the right wash for you.  Aim to wash your face 1-2 times a day. If you wear makeup, one of those times should be at the end of the day to remove your makeup. Try not to wash too much, since overwashing can actually encourage acne. Don't scrub too hard or use a rough-surfaced implement like a loofah or washcloth to wash your face. Your hands or a face brush will work great. When drying your face, gently pat dry with a towel. Apply the toner to a cotton pad, then wipe it over your face. The toner will remove any excess dirt or makeup that remains on your skin and balance your skin's pH. Toner also tightens your pores. You can find toner at a drug store or beauty supply store. After washing your face, you should apply a moisturizing cream, gel, or lotion. This helps replenish the natural moisture that was stripped away when you washed your face. Even if you have oily or acne-prone skin, a moisturizer can help reduce the amount of oil and sebum your face produces, and reduce your breakouts.  There’s no shortage of different moisturizers on the market, so finding the one for you might take a little experimenting. Look for a moisturizer that is formulated for your skin type (oily, combination, etc.) to get the best results. If you have acne-prone skin, look for a non-comedogenic moisturizer. It will be...

You could make the hunt span through the basement up through the main floor of a house, or you could use trees and bushes in the yard as landmarks on your map. You could even have the treasure hunt take place inside and outside, depending on how much space you need or what time of year it is. It’s best to avoid public places for a treasure hunt because you never know who else might stumble upon your buried treasure. If you’re doing an indoor hunt, you could use a couch, lamp, microwave, fridge, and picture for your landmarks. For outdoor ideas, you could use a large tree, trampoline, swing set, rose bush, and large rock fixtures. Then, think of ways you can creatively label those items on your map. For example, the bathtub could be the “waterfalls of doom” or a large outdoor rock could be “skull island.” Other fun pairings are:  Monster mountain = laundry pile Skeleton jungle = front bushes Serpent pass = hallway leading to the next room Bloody beach = outdoor patio area You may not actually end up using the compass for directions, but it adds a look of authenticity to the map. Add something simple, like a cross labeled “N,” “S,” “E,” and “W,” or get really detailed and draw a compass rose. If you can, align your compass and map so that your kids can actually use those directions to find the hidden treasure! Most phones have compasses on them, so you can check it to see in which directions the different landmarks are.

You could offer slots to recreational teams, school teams, or church-based teams. Post on social media and put up flyers around town to attract local teams. Reach out to coaches of teams located further away by calling and emailing them with some basic information. During the time leading up to the tournament, check in with the coaches regularly. Provide them with the information they’ll need to pass on to their teams, such as the dates, location, schedules, registration, payment, key contacts, forms and releases, and insurance requirements. To make this information easily accessible, you may want to set up a website with all of the details and links related to the tournament. The last thing you want is someone getting hurt and finding yourself in a legal mess! Print out enough insurance waivers and medical release forms for all of the team members to sign before they play. Additionally, you should print out incident report forms to keep with the first aid kits in case someone does get hurt. You can find templates for these forms online. Assign a volunteer to coordinate a registration check-in area for teams arriving at the tournament. Make sure the insurance waivers and medical release forms are available at the station for the players to fill out on arrival. Also, have all of the coaches check in and verify their team roster. For smaller tournaments, this station can also act as a liaison area for any spectators or players who have questions. Larger tournaments may need a separate station for taking questions and concerns.

Including lettuce, you'll also need:  Garlic cloves Kitchen knife Iceberg lettuce (1 head) Large frying pan (or wok) Pepper Rice wine (or dry sherry) Salad oil Salt Sesame oil Small bowl (or container; for mixing) Soy sauce Spoon Sugar Whisk (optional; recommended) After washing, it's likely your lettuce will still have some moisture on it. Pat the lettuce dry with a clean dishrag, paper towel, or allow it to air dry. Once the lettuce is dry, tear it into pieces slightly larger than bite-size. f necessary. You can buy garlic pre-minced at your local grocery store, but fresh garlic often has a richer flavor. Break fresh garlic into pieces (cloves), remove its smooth outer skin, then use a knife to cut it lengthwise and crosswise until it is finely chopped. Take your small bowl and add 1½ teaspoons of soy sauce, 1½ teaspoons of sesame oil, and ¾ of a teaspoon of sugar to it. Use a whisk or other stirring tool, like a spoon, to thoroughly blend the ingredients until the sugar has been absorbed. This sauce will be added to the dish after the lettuce has cooked. Set it off to the side for later. For this dish, you'll want a relatively large pan or wok so the food isn't packed in too densely. A crowded pan can be difficult to stir.

You could use an ice cream tub or a plastic photographic tray. You don't want to drill through into a table or something like that.  Put a bit of newspaper at the bottom of the container. This will prevent you from drilling a hole through the container itself. Another option is to place the glass on an extremely flat surface where it is completely supported. If you can, put a rubber pad or other firm, cushioning material underneath it, but the glass must be flat and supported. In other words, don't hold the glass up as you drill or something like that. At all times be cautious about safety. Make sure that you aren't drilling in an area where you could damage something, and you want to make sure that power tool cords are not near water. This will help prevent the bit from slipping as you start drilling. You could use cereal box cardboard for this purpose.  Another approach is to tape the inside and outside of the glass you will be drilling with packaging tape or painter’s tape This will stop the glass from splintering. Tear off two pieces of the tape. Place the pieces on the glass in an X pattern over the spot where you want to drill a hole. Never drill within 3/4" of any edges. Make a reference mark on the tape on the spot where you want to drill the hole. This will help guide you as you get ready to drill.

You deserve to feel your best, so treat yourself to a new look. Switch up your hairstyle and put together a few new outfits to give yourself a fresh start. If you wear makeup, use a tutorial to try out a new look.  If you can afford it, go to a salon for a new haircut and purchase some new clothes. If you’re short on cash, go to a thrift store or shop a sale to add 1-3 new pieces to your wardrobe. As another option, invite your friends to have a clothing swap with you so you can get new-to-you clothes for free. A fresh environment can help you change your mindset and make you feel unstuck. Start by removing any clutter from your living and work space. Then, rearrange your furniture or other decorations to create a new look. If you can, add something new to remind you that you’re making a big change in your life.  Even a tiny change can make a big difference, so don’t worry if you can"t overhaul your entire space. For instance, getting a small potted plant and a motivational print may be enough to help you feel renewed. If you can, redecorate your space so you life feels totally new. Switch out your artwork, get new linens, and replace outdated or broken furniture. Your attitude can make or break you, so cultivate a positive mindset. Pay attention to your thoughts so you can recognize negative thinking patterns. When you catch yourself thinking negatively, challenge that thought and replace it with something neutral or positive. Additionally, create positive affirmations for yourself that you can repeat throughout the day.  For instance, let’s say you catch yourself thinking, “I suck at everything.” You might challenge that thought by telling yourself, “That can’t be true because I’m good at singing, drawing, and baking.” Then, replace it with something like, “I’m good at a lot of things, but no one knows how to do everything.” You might use positive affirmations like, “I am enough,” “I can accomplish anything with hard work,” and “I’m becoming my best self” to motivate yourself.

You do not have to agree with what a person says, but learning to accept an insult takes more confidence than near any other response. It shows that if the insult comes from someone you care about, you are willing to consider their point. If it comes from someone you don’t care about, it shows that they don’t impact you.  Practice accepting insults by going over past criticisms you have received. Say to yourself something like, “You’re not that great.” Then, practice accepting by saying, “You are right, I am not that great.” Repeat this exercise until you feel the sting of the insult wear off. It may or may not go away completely, but taking away the initial shock will give you the presence of mind to be able to respond when someone does insult you. Remember that this exercise is not about conceding their point. Instead, you are building up the confidence to acknowledge their opinion yet be strong enough so as to not let it dominate you. Take some time to reflect on yourself and look for what you consider your personal weaknesses. Don’t let the insult dictate what you see in yourself, but identify some areas that you want to improve.  Make a list of goals and actions to help you address those weaknesses. For example, if you think you aren’t a great public speaker, your practices might include engaging in more casual conversations, practicing in front of a mirror, or even taking a public speaking class. When someone does insult you, remind yourself that you are taking steps to improve yourself, and that there is no shame in being a work in progress. This is easier said than done, but one of the best ways to build confidence long-term when you are faced with insults is to remind yourself that an insult is only effective if you let it hurt you. If you choose to move past the insult quickly and focus self-improvement or already positive aspects about your personality, the insult loses its power.  Practice filling in statements such as, “That doesn’t matter because I’m ______.” Give yourself a reason, based in...

You do not have to become certified to work as an event planner.  But having that designation could open doors for you and certainly puts you in touch with other professionals who value high standards in the field.  A certification is a professional designation given by a trade organization and can only be obtained after you have a proven track record of professional experience and have successfully passed the organization's tests.  The most recognized certifications are those offered by the Certified Special Event Professional (CSEP) offered by ISES; the Certified Meeting Professional (CIC), and the Certified Meeting Planner (MPI).  Each program varies in the level of professional experience required, so you'll need to contact the organizations individually to find out if you meet the requirements. If you plan to specialize, look for specific trade organizations that focus on your area of expertise.  For example, a wedding planner may want to check out a group such as the Association of Bridal Consultants and Weddings Beautiful Worldwide. If you are or have been a student in a recognized event planning course, ask about possible membership discounts, as memberships can be pricey when you're first starting out.

Put one hand around the baby's waist and use your other hand to support the baby's bottom. This position allows your baby to look around. You can use a variation of this position to soothe your baby if he or she is upset.  Put your left arm over the baby's left shoulder and hold the baby's right thigh. The baby should have one arm on each side of your arm and his or her head should be near your elbow. Your hands should meet near the baby's crotch area.  You can gently bounce in this position as well to soothe your baby. our shoulder. Older babies enjoy being held on an adult's shoulders.

You do not necessarily need to peel them. The skin adds extra flavor to the apples and also contain a good deal of the fiber apples are famous for. Other people like to peel their apples because they do not like the texture of the dried skins. It is really just a matter of what you like. Any variety of apple can be dried, though Gala, Fuji, and Golden Delicious work particularly well. You will also want to cut out any worm-eaten parts. Kitchen stores sell apple corers that will easily and efficiently remove your apple cores. However, if you do not have one of these devices you can also  core your apples by hand. If you are using these apples for decorations, or you really like your food to look as beautiful as possible, skip the coring. Apples that are not cored and are cut so that they keep their circular shape have a pretty star pattern in the center created by the core. You can either cut your apples so that they retain their circular shape, or you can cut them into thin wedges. Again, this is simply based on your own preference, though some say that the thinner the slices, the easier it is to dry the apples. An excellent solution for this is lemon juice, pineapple juice and water mixed together. The pineapple juice isn’t necessary but it adds sweetness to the mixture that counteracts the sour flavor of the lemon juice. Pre-treating the apples will also help them retain more of their vitamin A and vitamin C properties as well as provide a better texture in the final product. Here are some methods you can use to pretreat the apples:  Soak the apple slices in lemon juice. Mix 1 cup (240 mL) lemon juice into 1 quart (2 pints) of water. Do not soak for more than 10 minutes. Drain the liquid from the fruit. Soak the apple slices in sodium bisulfite. Mix 2 teaspoons (9.85 mL) of sodium bisulfite into 1 quart (2 pints) of water. Do not soak for more than 10 minutes.

You do not need a lot of water at this point, but you need enough to create a concentrated solution. Aim for about 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water. Keep adding salt until no more will dissolve, and you see a few grains of salt at the bottom of the pot. Once no more salt will dissolve, take the saucepan off the stove, and pour the water into a small dish. You are only using a little bit of water for now, so that it can evaporate faster. You will likely have a lot of water left over. Either save this water for later, or pour it out. Be very careful not to get any salt grains into the dish. If you get any salt grains, your salt crystals won't be very big. Put the dish someplace where it won't be disturbed. It will take a few hours to a day for the water to evaporate and tiny crystals to form. The crystal should be well-shaped, and not have any smaller crystals attached to it. This is known as a "seed crystal." The rest of the salt crystals will cling to this, and create a perfect, cubic crystal. Tie the other end of the thread to a pencil. You can also use a popsicle stick or chopstick instead. Boil some more water, and add some salt to it. Keep adding salt until no more will dissolve, and you see a few grains at the bottom of the pot. Take the pot off the stove and let the water cool. Don't let it splash into the water, if you may trigger the growth of smaller crystals. The water must be cool, or the crystal may dissolve. If you can, try to keep the jar covered, such as with a box. You want the water to be able to evaporate, but you don't want any dust to get into the jar. The temperature in the room must also be consistent. As the water evaporates, the salt will stay behind, and collect on your seed crystal. The longer you wait, the larger your crystal will become. Once it reaches the size you want, pull the crystal out of the water, and cut the string off. Pour the salt water out. You should now have an extra-large salt rock.

You do not need to constantly engage with this person. The situation can be tricky when the egomaniac is your colleague, but by remaining calm and diplomatic, you can stay reasonable and active. When you feel an avalanche of self-praise coming on, subtly stop the conversation by avoiding eye contact, withdrawing verbal affirmation, and acting disinterested or bored. Remember, just because the egomaniac claims (s)he can walk on water, that doesn’t mean it’s true. You will have an easier time dealing with their self-apprasal if you remind yourself that you are capable and successful. If your boss is the egotist, (s)he will probably have a hard time giving you the support and encouragement you need, so look elsewhere for a mentor. The egomaniac is actually very insecure and craves affirmation and attention. Don’t be the person (s)he relies on for proof of their worth. Instead make a slight pitiful pat on the shoulder, let them know its okay, this should take them a step back and confirm your confidence. When confronted with another person’s constant assertion of self-worth, your own insecurities or pride can get the best of you. Is this person really worth your time and energy? Don’t let them lure you into an argument or long-winded conversation about their latest deeds. If you are the boss, and one of your employees is the egomaniac, offering your subordinate options might mitigate their need to assert herself or challenge you.

Strategic use of praise and compliments can be a great motivator for a narcissistic employee.

Do not use services that will attempt to get his personal information. You do not want to do anything illegal. However, you can find spam sites that are simply annoying. You could sign him up for a daily horoscope, for example. You can also give out his emails to stores he would not be interested in. If your favorite makeup store asks for your email, give them your ex's address. This will spam his inbox with irrelevant promotions.

You do not want to rely solely on your parents' approval, especially if they do not understand you. Learn to take pride in your own unique strengths and skill set, even if your strengths are not necessarily things your parents would value.  Write down a list of your strengths. This can help you affirm your talents and social skills. Include personality strengths, like "I'm a kind person" or "I'm funny" as well as talents or skills. For example, "I'm really good at math." Your parents may not value all your strengths, which is why it's important you value them. If your parents do not understand you, they may not understand why some of your interests and passions constitute strengths. It's important you believe this yourself. You need to have a good support network if your parents do not understand you. Seek out supporting friends, who affirm your strengths and believe in you. Do not hang out with anyone who's negative and tends to put others down. A solid friends group can help you feel good about yourself, despite negativity from your parents. Friends can also help if you're having difficulty with your parents. Talking to someone outside the situation can help you cope. Your friends may also have some insight on how to deal with parents who do not understand. You may become more critical of yourself if your parents do not fully understand your strengths.

Think about how you've overcome certain weaknesses, or at least worked within the confines of your flaws. For example, say you get a "B" on a chemistry test. Do not think, "I should have done better. I wish I was smarter." Instead, think, "I know chemistry isn't my best subject. I'm proud I studied and brought up my grade from the last test." If your parents lack of...

You don't have to fight the school administration over cafeteria items. Maybe freedoms of expression, like the right to wear certain band t-shirts or play certain music, is a more valued issue.  If doing a certain action - like questioning your teacher when she tells you to tuck in your shirt - means getting sent to the principal's office and possibly getting expelled, choose whether or not you believe enough in that action to bear the consequences. Fight for issues that matter the most to you. You may be a fan of Led Zeppelin, but maybe being a vegetarian is more important.  Forego your plea for "rock music during lunchtime" for "more menu alternatives other than meat." If your actions have a possibility of seriously hurting yourself or others, avoid doing them. Rebellion is about standing out; you don't need to do harmful things to do so.  It's normal for teenagers to be curious and to experiment. If you truly are curious and want to experiment with alcohol, drugs, or sex, be safe and cautious. Know that you don't have to do these things in order to be thought of as a rebel. Remember that being a rebel means fighting conformity. Within your rebellious group, you may still face peer pressure to experiment with drugs or alcohol. If that is something you truly don't feel comfortable doing, don't do it. Tell your friends that you're "being an even bigger rebel" by not following them. Some people think that being a rebel means damaging or vandalizing property. You don't have to be infamous in order to be a rebel. If you want to express yourself visually, decorate your own property with spray paint, stickers, and permanent markers. If being a rebel to you means constantly disobeying rules and fighting with other students, know that there are other consequences besides being "known" as a rebel.  You don't have to be violent and unruly to be a rebel. Sure, you can talk tough and walk with your chin up, but you don't have to harm people to be noticed. Being a rebel is about being original, and demeaning others to...

You don't have to love it but you do need to manage around it, so that you get the space and freedom you are paying for too. Maybe you want to join in sometimes, all the time, or never at all––that's your call, but you do deserve to have the amenity you're paying for.  Have clear household rules in place about hosting events using the property you all live in. As with cleaning, there must be clarity on what's acceptable, what's okay by way of spontaneous visits from groups of friends, and what is not appropriate. Together, set up house rules with boundaries on noise levels, quantity/type of party events, times visitors can call, whether or not people can stay over, and so forth. If there is a party and such events bother you, consider whether you'd prefer to schedule a night out or do something else for a few hours. Unless the party-throwing is constant, it's important to find ways to ensure that everyone in the household has their chance to use the premises in ways they enjoy too. It is important to have a discussion about grocery distribution and payment. Unless one householder adores shopping for groceries and truly doesn't mind doing it, it's everyone's responsibility. How this is divided up is entirely up to your household but it should be done fairly and every person must pay their fare share.  Be sure to include snacks in the household rules. Snacks tend to disappear for party events, and it is the responsibility of the person throwing the party to pay for these, not to use other householder's supplies. Mundane-yet-essential things such as cleaning gear, first aid supplies and household safety (batteries for those smoke alarms) should also be incorporated into the shared household spending budget. This is extremely personal to your household, as sometimes there are one or two persons who love to cook and who genuinely don't mind cooking for others a few nights a week. In other households, nobody likes to cook and take-out and noodles are the staples. However, whatever the cooking arrangements, nobody...

You don't have to peel these potatoes to make potato salad -- the skins will add a rich flavor to the salad. Once they're done boiling, remove the potatoes from the hot water, drain them, and wait for them to cool. Let them steam for at least 15 minutes. Combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of buttermilk, 2 tablespoon (29.6 ml). of Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp. of whole-grain mustard, 1/2 cups of chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp. of salt, and 1 tsp. of black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until you've made a nice creamy dressing. Once the potatoes have cooled down a bit, use a sharp knife to cut them in half. If they're on the larger side, you can cut them in quarters instead.  It will begin to moisten and then to soak in to the potatoes. Toss the mixture well until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and the salad has a rich, creamy consistency. This will allow the ingredients to blend. You can serve this tasty potato salad cold or at room temperature.

You don't have to use the included striker to light most matches — as long as you build up enough friction to heat up the match head, you can strike many matches almost anywhere that's dry. However, this is usually easiest if you use strike anywhere matches. As their name suggests, these matches are designed to light well on various surfaces.  Strike anywhere matches are usually wood matches identified as such on the packaging. They are not especially expensive: a 250-match box may cost as little as $2.  Strike anywhere matches only work on dry surfaces. This trick is a must for campers, hikers, and anyone else who might want to improve their wilderness survival skills. For best results, you'll want to find a flat dry rock with a slightly "rough" or abrasive surface. The texture should be similar to sidewalk concrete. As noted above, the rock also must be dry. If you can't find a dry rock, find a suitable wet rock, wipe it on your clothing, and carry it in your pocket for a few hours or set it somewhere dry. Hold the match between your middle finger and thumb and use your index finger to press the head into the rock. This is the same technique you'd use to light a paper match without folding the cover over. The rougher the rock's surface is, the lighter you'll want to press to hit the friction "sweet spot" for lighting a flame. If you're still in civilization but stuck without access to a match striker, you can usually use the materials around you in a pinch. Simply strike the match the same way you would if you were using a normal striker or a stone, using less pressure for rougher materials. For this to work, however, the material you use must be completely dry. Just a few possibilities for materials to use include:  Concrete Grout (between tiles, etc.) Brick Ceramic Keep in mind that striking matches can leave small marks on whatever material you're using, so you may not want to do it on other people's possessions. This trick is handy when you're caught without a matchbook in the garage or workshop. Very...

You don't have to wash the person's hair with shampoo and conditioner, but it needs to be wet. Have the person sit in a tall chair so that their hair is at a comfortable cutting level for you. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to create a neat part, then pull the hair into a bun at the top of their head. Clip the bun out of the way, or secure it with a hair tie. Leave the bottom portion of their loose. Make a V-shape with your forefinger and middle fingers. Close your fingers against a 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) wide strand. You can also use a rat-tail comb to measure out the sections. This will prevent you from accidentally pulling down too hard on it. Keep your hand against the person's back and avoid creating any angle by pulling it away from the back. Your fingers should be parallel to the part you made earlier and the floor. Do not twist your fingers upwards, flip the hair, or pull the strand away from the person's back. Doing so will cause a slight gradation. Use the length of your fingers as a guide. Make sure that you are using sharp, hairdressing shears for this; do not use ordinary scissors. Take a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide section of hair. Add it to a few strands from the section that you already cut. Pinch the section between your fore and middle fingers, like before. Slide your fingers down until the bottom edge is level with the cut strand. Cut the strand until it is even with the already-cut strand. Let go of the hair, and take another section. Measure it up against the previous strand, and cut it. Continue in this manner until you have cut the entire bottom layer of hair.  Never pull the strands away from the person's back while cutting them. Keep them as close as possible to their back. Measure up the left and right sides in the front to ensure that they are even. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to create another neat, horizontal part. Leave enough hair so that you can still see part of the previous layer beneath it. Gather the rest of the hair into a bun once again. Take a 1 to 2 inches...

You don't necessarily have to accuse your boyfriend of cheating, but tell him that you feel like something is off with him. Being unable to communicate with your partner can cause significant problems in a relationship, so it's best to just confront the issue directly.  Make sure to choose a time to talk with your boyfriend when you know you won't be interrupted. If you want to have a serious, honest conversation, neither of you should be taking phone calls or answering texts.  Try to stay as calm as possible. If you immediately put your boyfriend on the defensive, you're probably not going to get any real answers. Remember that your goal is a conversation, not a confrontation. You don't want to come across as irrational or paranoid, so it helps to cite the specific evidence that's led you to suspect him, even if it's just the fact that he's stopped calling you pet names or always takes his phone into the bathroom. For the best results, you should be as non-judgemental as possible when you're laying out the reasons that you've come to suspect your boyfriend of cheating, so try to start your sentences with “I” and not “you.” For example, you might say, “I feel like we're growing apart and I'm upset about it.” That can make your boyfriend more likely to listen to what you have to say. If explaining the changes in your boyfriend's behavior that concern you doesn't lead to the topic coming up, you may want to just ask him directly if he's cheating. You're probably going to be angry and upset, but don't resort to name calling or physical violence. The calmer you stay, the more likely you are to get a straight answer from your boyfriend. Give you boyfriend a chance to answer your questions. Don't yell at him or assume you know what he's going to say. He may have an explanation for his actions that will relieve your fears. Unless you have ironclad proof that he's cheating, your boyfriend is most likely going to deny whatever accusations you level at him. In that situation, you have to listen to your instincts. If...

You don't need to ask a girl out to spend time with her one-on-one. She may feel less pressure if you simply ask her to go do things together without labeling these outings as dates. If she always agrees to spend time alone with you, she's probably interested in you too. For example, you could go out for coffee, buy music together, check out a farmer's market, or just go shopping. Think back to the things she likes and try to do something out of the ordinary for her. The classic is giving the girl flowers or something romantic like a poem. However depending on what she likes, you could do something original that's also romantic. For example, if she's really interested in original artwork, paint her something. Don't worry that whatever you give her isn't professional quality or expensive. The point of the romantic gesture is to signal your feelings for her. While you're spending time together one-on-one, tell her how much you enjoy being with her. Let her know that you have fun hanging out in a mutual group too, but place the emphasis on your time alone. You could also mention how important she's become to you or how your feelings have developed towards her. If you're anxious about hinting to her directly, consider texting or calling her. You might find that you have more courage when communicating electronically. This will also give her a little time to process her feelings and respond to you. Casually flirt and see how she reacts. If she's encouraging you, she may smile, flirt back, tease you or laugh. These may be signs that she's interested in starting a romantic relationship with you. If she gives you the cold shoulder, tells you to stop it, or seems uncomfortable, give her some space. You can keep spending time in mutual company, but if she doesn't respond well to your flirting, you should consider moving on. If she does like the flirting, continue paying her attention and trying to spend more time together.

You don't need to be a brain to find things to talk about, but you do need to have passions and interests. A person who can talk naturally about things he's interested in is always better conversation than someone armed with pre-written prompts and a vague hope of getting a date.  Make a short list. List everything you're interested in. Go for more detail rather than less. For example, instead of “music,” write “playing classical guitar, going to concerts, collecting old funk LPs.” Expand the list into topics. Using the example above, you might think about what brand of guitar you own or rent versus the brand you wish you could have, what concerts you've been to, and which funk bands you enjoy. Make a mental note of your opinion on each topic. This will help you to know yourself better. When you talk about any subject you have an interest in, you'll be able to speak confidently about it and explain why you're interested in it, which makes good conversation. Get used to talking, or you'll never be able to talk well. One of the easiest and simplest things you can do to improve your comfort level is simply to say things aloud to yourself. This helps you get comfortable with the sound of your own voice, and with speaking rather than simply responding to others.  Find a time and a place. Whenever you're home alone is a great choice. It doesn't have to be regularly scheduled; just seize opportunities as they arise. Say something. Try to talk a little bit about something rather than just mumbling a few words. Tell yourself about the plot of the last TV show or movie you watched. If you can't think of anything to say, find a book and read aloud from it.  When reading from a book, try to make the words sound natural, rather than the stilted sight-reading drone that many people lapse into. Read a sentence or two in your head first, then say them aloud as though you had just thought of them yourself. Books of poetry are ideal for this. Poetry is almost always meant to be read aloud, and the concentration required to be...

You don't need to be rich to travel, but knowing how much money you have available will likely shape all other aspects of your trip. If things are tight, you may decide to delay your trip until you can save more money. Where you go, how you get there, where you stay may all rely on how much you have to spend.  Remember that in addition to any travel expenses, you still have to pay rent and bills at home. Make sure you have enough to cover these essentials before you spend money traveling. Be savvy and cut out small, unnecessary purchases where you can. Eating in, avoiding ATM fees and skipping the $4 lattes are all quick, easy changes you can make to save extra cash for traveling. If you can't afford to jet to a distant location but you're itching to explore, research where you can go that is within a day's drive of home. Search for national parks, weird roadside attractions, or even look at a travel guide for your area. If you don't have wheels you can rent a car or take a bus to get away for the day. If you are working, check how much vacation time you have saved up. Check your calendar for any important dates that might conflict with your travel plans--you might need to push your trip back a few days so you don't miss your grandpa's 100th birthday. Don't forget to factor in travel time--if you only have a long weekend, it might be best to stick relatively close to home. You can determine the percentage of your vacation you will spend traveling by dividing the total number of hours you spend on the road by the total number of hours you plan to spend at your destination. Find out the high, low, and shoulder season for tourists at your destination by looking at their tourist bureau online. When you travel may also impact the cost of your ticket. If you're not choosy about dates, you can plan your trip around the lowest fares.  High season is when there are the biggest crowds, the best weather, attractions selling out, and the highest prices. Low season usually means great deals, fewer tourists, the...

You don't need to head out in a suit and tie in order to meet women, but it's important to at least look presentable before you head out. Shower if you haven't already, apply deodorant, wear clean clothes that fit you, and brush your teeth. Comb your hair if it's long, too, and make sure your facial hair is in check. Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things when trying to approach women, since your appearance contributes to the first impression they get. You can't cold approach a girl if you never leave your home. Head out in public, and go to places where you're likely to find girls that are happy to chat with you. Some good places to go are:  Shopping malls. Lots of people in malls are in a fun mood. Gyms. Plenty of women go to gyms for their workouts. Concerts. This is a great place to meet girls with common interests, if you really like the band or artist. Meetup groups. You can find plenty of local meetup groups online. These groups organize social events on a regular basis, and you can find something that you're interested in. Even if you don't meet girls, you're more likely to make friends this way. Libraries. Although these places are usually quiet, if you're careful, you can approach bookworm girls and have a decent conversation. When you see a girl you want to talk to, approach her confidently without wasting time. Now that you're out and can meet girls, don't waste time overthinking or ruminating.  Don't make excuses. Delaying it will only make it worse, and there is a good possibility that you may end up getting mad at yourself, and most likely giving up. Getting mad at yourself is just more negativity on top of negativity, so it's important that you reduce lag-time between approaches. Just go! Of course, if there's a genuine reason for you not to approach her (for example, she's clearly focused on something else, or she's working a job), listen to your gut instinct. Most people don't like being broken out of their focus, and you don't want to distract her from her work. It can...

You don't need to look like a bodybuilder—though, congratulations if you do—but some basic self-maintenance can go a long way. Keep the three cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle in mind: a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep.  You don't need to live on salad and protein smoothies to have a healthy diet. On the contrary, the healthiest diets are also the most balanced. You may, however, have to resist the temptation to binge on junk food. Man cannot live on bacon and deep-fried candy bars alone. Try to exercise as soon as you wake up in the morning. You can go to the gym if doing so appeals to you, but if it doesn't, you can still take a brisk walk or get your blood pumping with a few jumping jacks. Your appearance plays a major role in someone's first impression of you. While a woman's beauty rituals and routines can be somewhat complex, all you really need to do as a man is maintain some basic hygiene and wear clean, orderly clothes that fit the occasion.  Bathe regularly. You don't need to swim in your cologne, but you might consider dabbing some on for a special occasion, like an important date. If you have facial hair, keep it trimmed. If you only have stubble, keep it shaved. Wear clean clothes that look good, and make sure that they fit the occasion. Jeans and an old t-shirt are fine for a night with friends, but you should look a little sharper for a job interview or a first date. Keep yourself updated on the world around you. Instead of filling your mind with relatively meaningless information, though, focus on the people and events that really matter. This might mean sacrificing some of the time you devote to sports or gaming to learn about things like the current state of foreign affairs or the economic effect of the latest natural disaster.  You need to understand the world you live in if you want to function in it as best as possible. This doesn't mean you can't devote time to your hobbies and interests, of course. These things are important since they help you wind down and...

You don't need to stare at everyone you pass by, but don't be afraid of making brief eye contact. Even if your posture is perfect, you will not look very graceful if your eyes are always looking at the floor. It might help you feel more comfortable if you imagine a straight line on the floor and focus your attention on a spot far in front of you. This will help you walk straighter, and it will make it appear as though you are looking straight ahead, without having to worry about direct eye contact. Nothing will ruin your otherwise graceful walk more easily than fidgety hands. As you walk, hold your arms gently by your sides and allow them to move ever so slightly. Avoid crossing your arms, putting your hands in your pockets, or touching your hair and clothing with your hands. All of these actions will make you look anxious and uncomfortable.  It's important to find a natural-looking arm position. Your arms should not be swinging wildly by your sides, nor should they be so rigid that you look like a robot. If you can't seem to hold your arms at your sides without looking too stiff, try holding a clutch. This will give your hands something productive to do so they don't fidget. Sudden movements will make you appear jittery and uncertain of yourself, while calm, deliberate movements come across as graceful and confident.  Be especially mindful of how fast you are walking if you feel anxious. It can be easy to pick up the pace without realizing it. The more deliberate you are with your movements, the more natural this kind of walk will become. While you want to move slowly, make sure your movements are not unnaturally slow. If you are walking in heels, it is even more important not to walk too quickly. You will probably find that your natural stride is slightly shorter when you are wearing heels, so walking quickly will look awkward. It will also make you more likely to lose your balance. There's no need to have an artificial grin on your face all the time, but it will help you appear more confident and graceful...

You don't need to take an enormous breath - simply breathe in normally. Instead of swallowing air with your food, in this method, you'll swallow air directly from your lungs. You want to make sure that you cannot inhale any additional air or suffocate yourself - if at any point you're desperate to breathe, don't do it. This will probably require some practice. Try to swallow as if you're eating a piece of food. Feel for the mouthfuls of air traveling down your esophagus. In effect, you are transferring air from your lungs into your stomach, at which point it can escape your body through the throat as a burp. As you try to swallow, position the tip of tongue at the back of mouth, you will swallow greater quantity of air. Then, try to burp normally. This part can be difficult for beginners. When you're starting, it may be necessary to "force" your burps out. Practice your air-swallowing until you get a good feel for the technique. Soon, you'll be able to mortify your peers on command. This may take some practice. The goal is to squeeze your stomach like a bellows to force the burp out in one loud push. Use your diaphragm and abdominal muscles to firmly (but not violently) push. If done correctly, you'll get a loud "bark." Practice until you're comfortable with this step.
