Fast food and processed meals may be high in calories, but they provide empty calories that don’t contain many nutrients. Nutrient-dense foods pack in more calories and more good fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals.  For grains, eat heavy breads like whole wheat and pumpernickel. Bran muffins, whole wheat bread, and wheat germ are also good choices. When it comes to fruit, choose bananas, pineapples, raisins, dried fruit, and avocados. In general, starchy fruits are preferable to water-rich fruits, like watermelon or oranges, as they contain more calories and nutrients. For vegetables, try peas, corn, potatoes, and winter squash. As with fruit, starchy vegetables are better than water-rich vegetables. Within the dairy group, consider cheese, ice cream, frozen yogurt, and whole milk. When eating a snack or meal, don’t just eat 1 type of food. Incorporate a few different food groups into each meal. This will increase the calorie count while making it easier for you to eat more.  For example, don’t just eat toast. Try topping the toast with peanut butter and adding sliced bananas on top. Or place sliced avocado on top with a glass of kefir on the side. If you enjoy eggs in the morning, try scrambling them with peppers and sausage. Instead of just eating a cup of yogurt, sprinkle granola and berries on top. Sometimes, it can be hard to motivate yourself to eat extra snacks. Try drinking high-calorie drinks in between meals if you can't stomach a snack.  Smoothies are especially those made with whole fruits and vegetables and yogurt. Juice made from real fruit adds extra vitamins and fiber to your meal. Milk, milkshakes, protein shakes are also good options. You can stir high-calorie, nutritious foods or powders into your favorite meals to add extra calories without making you feel much fuller. Some great ways to do this include:  Stir powdered milk into beverages, soups, stews, and sauces. Sprinkle nuts over your salad or cereal. Stir ground flaxseed into salads, cereals, and smoothies. Sprinkle cheese over...

Fast pitch softball bats that are 100 percent alloy, or that have an alloy barrel, are good to go right away, with no break-in period needed. Composite bats, however, have carbon fibers that need to be loosened before the bat reaches optimum performance. The fibers can be loosened during just one break-in session that will take about an hour.  Many fast pitch players hesitate to use a new composite bat in the middle of season, thinking that the break-in process is too time consuming. However, breaking in a new bat shouldn't take more time than a routine practice session. Don't be tempted to skip the process of breaking in your composite bat, since a fresh bat won't perform as well as one that's been broken in correctly. It's important to use high quality, regulation-size softballs with leather skin and good stitching to break in your bat. If you're breaking it in at a batting cage, go to a cage that uses real balls instead of the rubber balls (which usually have developed pock marks). The pock-marked balls can damage your bat, hindering its ability to perform well. Don't break in your bat during very cold weather. The softballs should be at least 60℉ (15℃). A cold ball can damage the bat before it is broken in properly. Breaking in a bat requires hitting a certain number of balls at half the maximum impact force before you move on to full-impact fast pitch hitting. The easiest way to bat at half-capacity is to bat off of a tee, rather than having someone pitch to you. If you don't already have a tee, buy one at a sporting goods store and keep it as part of your practice equipment. The alternative to using a tee would be hitting half-speed pitches or slow pitches. This would break in the bat effectively, but it might not be great for your batting form. Hitting half-speed pitches, especially when they have an arc, can mess with your form and timing.

Fasting or skipping a meal can trigger a migraine in some people. Aged cheese and salty and processed food may also be triggers. Decrease salt in your diet by avoiding potato chips and other snack aisle foods, and seasoning your meals with spices and herbs instead of table salt. Avoid frozen and pre-packaged meals, as well as fast food.   Food additives, like aspartame (an artificial sweetener) and MSG in various foods, can trigger migraines in some people. Avoid these products by using natural sweeteners and asking restaurants if they use MSG – request your meal be MSG-free! Nitrates are also a common trigger, and can be found in processed meats like pepperoni, hot dogs, and lunch meat. Drinking alcohol, especially wine, can trigger migraines. Stop drinking alcohol or limit your intake to moderate amounts – 1 glass a day for women and men over 65, and 2 glasses a day for men under 65 is considered “moderate.” Highly caffeinated beverages like espresso drinks and energy drinks may trigger migraines due to the “caffeine crash” a few hours later. A sudden drop in caffeine level is potentially a migraine trigger. If possible, drink tea instead of coffee, and try to keep your caffeine to a minimum to avoid the crash. If you drink a lot of caffeine now, don’t stop all at once – that can cause headaches and other withdrawal effects. Taper down. For instance, if you currently drink 2 cups of coffee a day, drink 1 cup for a week or two, then drink half-caff (half regular, half decaf). For some people, migraines are triggered when they change their sleep habits and get too little, or even too much, sleep. If you’re prone to migraines, set a regular bedtime and wake time for yourself so you get approximately 8 hours of sleep nightly. Jet lag can also be a trigger. If you are travelling into a very different time zone, try to minimize the disruption to your sleep schedule as much as possible. Vasodilator medications like nitroglycerin can make migraines worse, as can oral contraceptive pills. Of course, these...

Fat carried throughout the body beneath the skin is called subcutaneous fat, and its hazards are largely cosmetic. The fat found deeper within your body, called visceral fat, is associated with belly fat. Visceral fat surrounds your internal organs, and results in some serious health risks.  Visceral fat wraps itself around internal organs, such as the intestine, kidney and liver. This kind of belly fat is unrelated to the fat cells that are found as subcutaneous fat. Some of the conditions associated with visceral fat include cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer. Patients with high levels of belly fat were three times more likely to develop dementia.  Research indicates a connection between high levels of belly fat and premature death - no matter what the person's overall weight might be. This means even if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is within normal levels, you might still be carrying a dangerous amount of belly fat. Another hazard is developing insulin resistance, or "metabolic syndrome". . Wrap the tape measure around your stomach, just above your hipbone. Pull the tape tight, but not so tight that it pinches you. It should fit snugly and be even all the way around. When you've got the tape measure in place, exhale and relax. Pinch your thumb and forefinger together at the measuring tape, in order to see what your measurement is.  For women, a waist measurement of more than 35 inches (or 89 centimeters) is associated with high levels of belly fat. Make sure you're not sucking your stomach in, or your information won't be accurate. Remember that this measurement is not about cosmetic concern, but good health.

Fat will go rancid quickly if you are not careful, and it does not dry out well. Use a sharp kitchen knife to clean off the turkey and remove the shiny skin and bright white fat. Cover the turkey and freeze it until it is hard. This makes it hard and easier to cut into thin strips Two hours should be more than enough. Try not to have any strips thicker than 1/4 inch, but even thinner is fine if possible. You should try and keep the slices the same width so they all dry out at the same speed. If you are having trouble, let them thaw out for 20-30 minutes until they are softer and use the sharpest knife you have.  Tuck your fingers into your hand and use the knuckles on your non-cutting hand to guide the knife. This way, if the knife slips, you cannot take off a finger. An electric knife, used for cutting tough meat and bone is often the easiest way to smoothly cut through frozen turkey evenly. Cut parallel to the grain, which are the strands of meat running up and down the turkey. Combine the 1/3 cup soy, ¼ cup Worcestershire,  2 tsp brown sugar, ½ tbs. spices (red pepper, black pepper, garlic and onion powder, cumin, as desired), 1 tsp. salt, 1tbs. liquid smoke, in a bag and shake it gently to make sure everything is well mixed. Mix the turkey in the bag, using your fingers to lightly massage the marinade all around the turkey. Letting the turkey soak in the marinade overnight gives it flavor and makes the meat more tender, making it easier to turn into jerky. Press the air out of the bag before putting it in the fridge. Remove excess marinade so that the turkey is mostly dry. If you are worried about food-borne bacteria you can boil the turkey in the marinade before continuing. Simply add it to a skillet and boil it for 5 minutes before cooling, removing, and patting dry. This will also lower the time needed to dry the jerky in the oven. Dehydrators will make perfect jerky every time, and are built to evenly dry out the meat. Leave the meat in the dehydrator for 10-12 hours, or until it is your desired...

Feed the plant a fertilizer every few months to keep the flowers blooming. Fertilizing too frequently can cause the plant to grow quite vigorously, so if you find that it's getting too large, cut back on fertilizer.  Most bougainvillea gardeners go with a 1:1:1 or a 2:1:2 fertilizer for regular fertilizing, not the high-phosphate fertilizer used at planting. Organic or slow-release fertilizers work best.  Be sure to fertilize at least once a year, at the beginning of spring, to help the season's growth get underway. Bougainvillea plants need support to cover a wall, fence, or other area. If you'd like the plant to grow in a certain vertical spot, you can hang rows of wire or string against the surface that you want covered. Tuck the bougainvillea branches behind these guidance supports at regular intervals. Keep a close eye on growth and adjust as necessary until the bougainvillea starts covering the wall or other surface.

Feeding your Yorkie hard kibble instead of canned dog food can significantly reduce the formation of tartar and plaque on your dog teeth. All dry kibble is preferable to wet foot, but consult the Veterinary Oral Health Council website for types of dry food that are specifically designed to reduce plaque and tartar. The Veterinary Oral Health Council website lists a variety of treats that can help to remove tartar and plaque from your Yorkie’s teeth. Human food, which is often high in sugar, is particularly bad for your dog’s teeth. Chewing on toys such as rawhide, pigs ears, bones, and Nylabones helps to reduce the plaque on your Yorkie’s teeth, while also keeping her entertained. Please keep in mind that you'll need to monitor your pet carefully when they are playing with a new toy, to prevent accidental choking. It is recommended that you bring your Yorkie for a dental check up at least once a year with a professional veterinary dentist. The vet will scrape away any tartar that your brushing has not removed. If you wish to learn how to scrape your dog’s teeth yourself, ask your vet to demonstrate. If your Yorkie has developed tooth decay, periodontal disease, or another serious dental issue, you’ll want to take her to the vet as soon as possible. Watch for:  Loose teeth Bad breath Excessive drooling Inflamed gums Bleeding gums Loss of appetite Tumors in the gums Cysts under the tongue

Feel happy and sincere when you smile. People can recognize a fake smile even from far off. Also, you don’t want photos of yourself performing with an insincere grin. Summon happy thoughts and match your expression to those emotions to  smile naturally.  Get into your performance so that your facial expressions will genuinely reflect the appropriate emotions. This can not only improve the way your audience views your performance, but it also improves the way people listen to a performance.  Project your emotions by keeping your body language in tune with the movement of your performance. For example, if you’re expressing sincerity, you might hold your hand over your heart. If you’re being welcoming, you could gesture with your arms in the air as if you’re about to give someone a hug. Whatever you’re doing on stage, do it actively. Think of the people in the last row of the venue and how much energy is required to reach them. Also keep in your mind the meaning behind your performance piece, so that your energy matches it without being too little or too much.  For example, if you’re singing, imagine that you’re singing to the person in the very last row. Project your voice and use sweeping gestures. You want to be lively and have movement, but avoid fidgeting. Work on your stage presence. You don’t want to spend your performance staring at a microphone or instrument, looking at the floor, or closing your eyes. Connect with your audience by making eye contact with people in the crowd, if you can see them. If the stage lights are so bright that you can’t see the audience well, span your gaze in their direction.  Don’t stay in one place if you don’t have to. Move around the stage, such as coming up to the front of the stage nearer to the audience.  Face your audience with the mindset that you are pleased to see them. They showed up for the performance, so you want them to feel appreciated! Be aware of where photographers are located so that you can incorporate subtle poses into your performance. Look at the...

Feeling worried, anxious, overwhelmed or tense stimulates colon spasms for people with IBS. The colon contains many nerves that are directly connected to the brain. These nerves control colon contractions. Stress results in abdominal discomfort, cramps, and diarrhea.  Identify the source of stress. Knowing what's causing the stress in the first place will help you to avoid it. In IBS, the colon is more sensitive to even mild stress or anxiety. Taking on more responsibility than you can comfortably manage leads to increased stress. Know your limits and learn how to say when necessary. Find ways to express your feelings, which helps lower stress levels. Talking to open-minded friends, families and loved ones about any issues or problems you've been having can help to eliminate built-up stress. Learning effective time management skills helps avoid unnecessary stress. Hypnotherapy has shown a substantial positive effect on patients with IBS. The form of hypnotherapist done in these sessions follows a 7–12 session gut-directed hypnotherapy protocol initially developed by PJ Whorwell. In these sessions, the patient first relaxes into the hypnotic trance. The patient then receives specific suggestions regarding GI functioning. The final phase of hypnosis includes imagery that increases the patient's sense of confidence and well-being.  While this procedure has been shown to have positive outcomes, note that there is little evidence to show why it works. Hypnotherapy may work on patients unresponsive to other forms of treatment. Psychodynamic interpersonal therapy (PIT) offers detailed discussion of symptoms and the patient's emotional state. The therapist and patient together explore the links present between symptoms and emotional conflicts. One of the goals of PIT is to identify and resolve issues of interpersonal conflict that result in stress, and negatively impact IBS.  PIT has been done most often in the UK. Field trials have shown a connection between PIT and relief from the symptoms of IBS. Usually, PIT is a...

Feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness and helplessness are common in people with depression. These feelings can be further exacerbated by psychotic features such as delusions, which may have paranoid, persecutory or somatic themes. Challenge negative beliefs frequently to reduce negative self-talk.  Identify negative thoughts by recognizing key words. If your thoughts involve words like "can't", "never", and "won't", they are probably negative. Consider alternative possibilities. When you catch yourself thinking negatively, try stating the thought with positive terms, like can and will. Stress contributes to depression and may trigger relapse. Healthy coping strategies will help mitigate the effects of stress.  Exercise promotes a sense of wellbeing and contributes to resilience. Practice deep breathing or relaxation exercises. Schedule regular dates with friends and family to maintain healthy relationships. You are not the only person to experience this. Psychotic depression can be effectively treated and recovery is likely. Keep track of your progress to maintain motivation.

Feisty people aren't delicate, shrinking flowers. They don't hesitate to tell anyone what they're thinking. If you want to be feisty, start here. All feisty people let their opinions be known one way or another.  Whether you're just shooting the breeze with friends or participating in a serious debate, you'll want to let the people around you know what you're thinking, even if it's something they won't agree with. This has benefits beyond just making you seem feisty — a fearless expression of your opinions can lead others to respect you for your boldness, even if they don't agree with you. While you will want to have no qualms about saying what's on your mind, ordinary social etiquette still applies to you even if you're feisty, so avoid being rude when you're expressing your opinions. For instance, if you're with your friends and they want to see a movie that you don't think you'll like, at dinner, you might say something light-hearted and sarcastic like, "Wow, another paranormal teen romance? Sounds awesome, guys!" You wouldn't want to say something like, "You guys are morons. I can't believe you idiots like that trash." Remember, feisty people are opinionated, but they're not cruel. As a feisty individual, just as you'll want to let the people around you know what you're thinking, you'll also want to let them know how you're feeling. To a certain degree, the way you feel on the inside should be the way you behave on the outside. If you want to laugh, laugh. If you want to cry, cry. If you want to shout in somebody's face, go ahead and shout in their face (assuming they deserve it and that the situation is appropriate, of course). Don't waste time worrying about what other people think about your emotions. If they're genuine, they'll respect you for them. Again, however, you'll want to be reasonable about just how extreme you are with the expression of your emotions. If you're frustrated during a math test, don't groan loudly and interrupt other students. If you're at a funeral, avoid breaking into fits of...

Females are more likely to conceive, and have healthy pregnancies, if they stay at a healthy weight. An under or overweight female may have problems conceiving and carrying puppies to term. A healthy weight will encourage a healthy pregnancy.  Talk to your vet about your dog's weight. Your vet can recommend a feeding and exercise routine that will keep your female at a healthy weight for her age and breed. If your female is over or underweight, you may want to get her to a healthy weight before attempting to breed her. Healthier dogs will be better equipped for mating. A balanced diet is key to your pet's health. Feed your dog the proper amounts of a healthy dog food to encourage good health overall.  Dogs have different dietary needs depending on breed and age.

Females should not be bred every year, and they should never be bred before they reach 2 years of age, regardless of their breed. Once a female reaches 2 years of age, you can breed her, but she needs to be allowed to rest in between litters to recover fully from the trauma of birth and being separated from her puppies. If you want to maintain a steady stream of income by having puppies continually, you’ll need to have several females. using best practices. Once you’ve chosen a pair of registered dogs and had them examined by your veterinarian and registered, you can breed them. Wait until the female is in heat and ovulating, then provide both dogs with a private and calm space to mate. You should supervise the breeding in case anything goes awry. Reputable dog breeders rarely need to advertise that they have puppies for sale because they find responsible owners for the dogs before the mother has even given birth. Find buyers for your puppies while the mother is pregnant by reaching out to veterinarians and dog trainers in your area, attending dog events, and by posting in forums and on message boards.  Buyers should be met and vetted before you release puppies into their care. Puppies cannot be separated from their mother before the age of 8 weeks. If one of your dogs develops a medical condition or has another problem, you need to be honest about these issues. Let potential buyers know up front what challenges they can expect to face due to a medical condition or other problem. Hiding medical problems or other issues can create a bad reputation for your dogs and your business, so always be honest and upfront. It’s incredibly important that every dog you have receives regular veterinary care from a licensed veterinarian. This includes vaccinations and booster shots, check-ups, and emergency care. Puppies should also undergo genetic testing and get dewormed in addition to receiving shots. Also, you should always ensure that anyone who purchases one of your puppies will get them spayed or neutered.

Festival clothing should be funky and fun, but you must also prepare for different weather conditions. Unless it it is guaranteed not to rain, bring a raincoat or poncho to keep yourself dry. Consider bringing lightweight pants that dry quickly. Bring an outfit for every day of the festival, with additional socks and underwear for sleeping. Choose shoes or boots that protect your feet should someone manage to stomp on them. If it is going to rain during your trip, bring waterproof shoes or boots to keep your feet dry. Sandals aren't recommended if you're planning on dancing in the large crowd, as your toes may get stepped on.

Fetch a roll of duct tape, electrical tape, or any other type that is totally opaque. Open your shoebox. Hold it up to a light source to see if any cracks, joins, or holes are permitting light to enter the box from the outside. If so, cover those areas with tape to keep all unnecessary light out. Do the same with the cover to the shoebox. Use a pencil or pen to trace a 1”x1” (2.54 cm x 2.54 cm) hole on one of the box’s smaller ends. Place it near the edge of the box’s bottom, but leave about a half-inch of space between the hole and the edge so you don’t accidentally tear the edge when you make your cut. Use a utility blade to cut the hole along your outline. For safety’s sake, always have the sharp end of the blade facing away from you in case it slips. Cut out a piece of tin or aluminum foil that is slightly larger than your hole. Cover the hole from the inside and tape the foil’s edges to the inside of the box. Use a pin, needle, or thumbtack to prick a very tiny hole in the foil. Aim for the center. Make sure the foil is pulled taut when you tape it. Otherwise, you may end up only pushing the foil with your pin or needle instead of poking a hole through it. ” Cut out a piece of plain white paper that is roughly the same size as your foil. Place it inside the box, directly across from the foil, in the exact same position along the box’s other smaller end. Tape it in place along its edges. Close the box with its cover once you finish. When the foil end is aimed at the eclipse, the sunlight should penetrate the foil through the hole you poked and then strike the piece of paper that you just taped up at the opposite end, just like a film projector aimed at a theater screen.

Fever, bad breath, dental pain and fatigue are all symptoms of sinusitis. You may notice clear discharge if you have a viral infection or allergies. Alternatively, you may notice cloudy yellow-green discharge if you have a bacterial or fungal infection. Try to drink at least six glasses of water a day. This keeps the discharge thin and more fluid, making it easier to drain. Don’t worry if it drains down the back of your throat. This might feel uncomfortable, but your body will deal with the mucus that ends up in your stomach. Avoid drinking dairy which may cause the mucus to thicken up, making it harder to drain. You should also avoid alcohol which can irritate your sinuses. Preferably, pick an essential oil that's organic and comes from a reputable company that can guarantee the oil's purity. Start out by choosing an aroma you like. All the oils listed have anti-inflammatory properties and reduce swelling. You can also mix and match the oils to find the best blend for you.

Fights with friends trigger a natural range of emotions—from rage to sorrow. While your feelings may be entirely justifiable, do not allow your emotional response to go unchecked. By remaining calm and quiet, you will minimize the risk of escalating the incident.  Pause, take a few deep breaths, and relax. If you need to, step away from the situation until you feel calmer. Say something like: “I care about our friendship and don't want to say anything that I'll regret. Let's pick this up later when we're both feeling calm and rational." Anger, frustration, and jealousy are overwhelming emotions. When we allow these feelings to cloud our judgement, our actions and words can become destructive. Even though it is tempting to “get even,” seeking revenge may ruin any chance of reconciling with your friend or, at the very least, draw out the process.  Wanting revenge is natural, but don't do it; you'll only feel worse. Instead, talk things out with your friend once both of your tempers cool. Tell yourself, “Getting even may seem like a good idea now, but later I will feel awful for hurting my friend.” Acknowledge what you're feeling right now and accept it. In this instance, accept that people are going to break your trust. When you are fighting with a friend, it is natural to vent about the conflict. Today, many people turn to social media to air their complaints. Broadcasting your frustrations or sorrow on social media platforms, however, will only prolong the fight.  Talk through the issue with a close, neutral confidant. If your friend posts on social media, don’t reply. You may even want to block them temporarily. There are always two (or more) sides to every conflict. While it is easy to convince yourself that your version is the true version, this type of inflexible thinking may prevent you from reconciling with your friend. Viewing the issue from your friend’s point of view may make you revise your version of the story.  Remember, you don’t have to agree with someone in order to empathize with them....

Figure out what you really need and what you won’t compromise on. These are your most valued priorities and non-negotiable things, such as your health, your children and so on. Once you establish what you absolutely need to live peacefully, then you can start to establish boundaries. The flipside is to determine where you’re flexible. What are you willing to compromise on, reduce or give up? When you need to get some space in order to process your own feelings and decompress, tell your loved ones. Communicating your own needs will help your partner, for example, understand why you are pulling away briefly. When this person understands your motivations, your relationship can strengthen while you get the space you need. When you are confronted with a difficult situation, you may find yourself relaxing your boundaries too much. If you plan out your response in advance, you’ll be able to hold the line better.  For example, how will you respond when a friend needs an ear to listen to complaints about work? You might say, “I am happy to hear about your work situation, but I only have 10 minutes to talk today.” Then stick to that 10 minutes. In another example, say you have a coworker who always leaves projects to the last minute, and you pick up the slack to minimize their stress. You might establish a boundary by saying, “I have my own work to complete at this time. I’m sorry, but I can’t help you right now.” Knowing how much you can stand and obeying that limit is vital to ensure your mental well-being.  Set kind but meaningful boundaries with others who overwhelm you. For example, don't stand around listening to someone talk for two hours when you can only cope with 30 minutes. Make your excuses and leave the situation.

Figuring out how much money you realistically have to work with is critical, or you’ll feel the pinch right before Christmas. Your budget will help determine where and how far you go, by what mode of transportation, where you'll stay, how you'll eat and what you'll do once there. Knowing tricks-to-the-vacation trade will make creating and sticking to a budget easier, and your vacation more enjoyable. When thinking about your budget, always consider currency exchange rates. What can your dollar get you in different places? Will you get a nicer hotel or the opposite? Check out XE.com for exchange rates, currency converters and travel-expense calculators. Is your vacation meant to be a solitary retreat, but to where you’re still not sure? Will it be a family beach adventure? Do you want to be active and always on the run, or do you want to relax a lot? Are you fine around large crowds? Thinking about what you want and do not want will make your vacation much more enjoyable. Traveling during what is called the “shoulder seasons,” just before and after the peak seasons, is often the best time to take a vacation. For one, the prices are lower. Yet because these times are just off a peak season, the weather is still nice, there are fewer tourists and crowds and locals are happy for your business. For instance, April through May and mid-August through October are the shoulder seasons for most of Europe.  Also be flexible about the precise location of, say, the family beach adventure. You want to go to the Bahamas, but there’s an amazing package deal to Key West. Would going to Key West give another area of your budget that was a little lean the boost it needed?  Another thing to think about: Many cities are considered “jump-off cities.” For instance, if you fly to Las Vegas, you can spend a few days there and drive to the Grand Canyon. Being flexible on dates is greatly to your pocketbook’s advantage, so pick a 2-week time frame (say, in next September) for your vacation. You'll search for and compare prices on...

Fill a bucket up halfway with warm water. Add dish soap to make the water sudsy, then dip in the sponge and squeeze it to remove the excess water. You can also use a cloth instead of a sponge. Hold the razor blade against the glass at about a 45 degree angle. Scrape away any paint stains, starting from the outside and working your way towards the center.  Make sure that the glass is damp at all times while you are scraping it to avoid scratches forming. Apply more warm, soapy water as necessary. Be very careful when using a safety razor blade. Always keep the case on when it's not in use.  Don't use a safety razor blade on tempered glass as it will scratch it. It will say in the bottom right hand corner of each pane of glass if it is tempered.

Fill a bucket with hot water. As the water is running, add about five drops of a liquid dish detergent. Swish the water around so suds form. Dip a sponge or cloth into the soap and water. Wring out the excess, and clean every inch of the interior surface of the fridge and freezer with the soap and water solution.  Re-soak and wring out the sponge frequently as you clean. When you're finished, fill a bucket with plain water. Use a clean sponge to wipe down the surfaces with the clean water. There are a number of cleaning solutions you can use to clean your refrigerator, and most of them are basic household cleaning products. Depending on what you have available and your preferences, you can mix in a bucket:  Equal parts water and white vinegar ½ cup (118 ml) of bleach mixed with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water Baking soda mixed with enough water to make a paste 1 quart (946 ml) of water mixed with ¼ cup (55 g) of baking soda and a few drops of liquid dish detergent Dip a sponge or cloth into your cleaning solution. Wring out the excess. Inside the fridge and freezer, wipe the sides, top, bottom, and any shelving, trays, and other surfaces. Dip the sponge back into the cleaning solution frequently to keep it saturated. When you're finished, fill a clean bucket with water. Wipe down the surfaces with plain water to remove excess cleaner. Use a dry microfiber cloth, rag, or towel to wipe down all the interior surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer. This will help prevent water spots from forming, and speed up the air-drying process. When the fridge and freezer have been thoroughly cleaned and wiped with water, leave the doors open and let them air out. You may need to tie the doors to something nearby to secure them in the open position. Air out the fridge and freezer for at least two hours, and as long as two days if you can. When the doors are open, don’t leave children and pets unattended in the room to prevent them from getting stuck. Follow the same process for the drawers, shelves, and racks that you used for...

Fill a bucket with warm water and add a moderate amount of oil or grease cutting dish soap to it. If you plan to use a laundry detergent, in most cases you'll need to add a cup (237 ml) of detergent for every 2 cups (473 ml) of water. Stir the solution to distribute the soap in the water. Some detergents or soaps may be in concentrated form. In these cases, you may need to reduce the amount used. Follow the label directions of your cleaner for the best results. Dip a soft, lint-free dishcloth into your detergent solution. Wring out excess solution in the bucket. Wipe all surfaces of your cabinets with the wet cloth to distribute a light coating of solution on the cabinets. For severe grease, allow the solution to sit for about five minutes. Take care to only lightly apply cleaner to the surface of your cabinets. Using too much solution may cause damage to the finish of your cabinets. Wet your dishcloth again in the detergent solution and wring out excess moisture. Wipe the cabinets thoroughly with the cloth to remove grease and any other buildup. When your cloth becomes dirty, rinse it by dunking it in the water and wringing it out again. Stubborn grease may need some scrubbing action to remove. Only use scrubbers that aren’t abrasive. Always test scrubbers on an inconspicuous part of the cabinet before scrubbing visible portions. Use a fresh, lint-free cloth to wipe away any leftover detergent solution or water. After that, inspect your cabinets for missed grease or grime. Reapply the cleaning solution in the process described to remove lingering grease.

Fill a clean, plastic gallon jug with water, sand, rocks, or concrete. Make sure that the jug has a handle; you will use this to complete your exercise reps. Use the handles to lift and lower the jug like you would any hand weight or dumbbell.  With milk jug hand weights, you can do bicep curls, tricep exercises, bent-over rows, pec flyes, deadlifts, and shoulder raises. You can also hold these weights to your sides when you are doing squats or lunges. Canned goods that fit into your hands work well as simple hand weights. This is especially good if you are starting out and trying to build muscles slowly. Use larger canned goods as heavier weights or medicine balls. Instead of recycling your plastic water and soda bottles, refill them with water, or put pebbles or sand in them instead. When filling them, make sure to weigh them so the weights are the same for both hands. Lift the bottles like you would any dumbbell. Instead of using the water bottles for hand weights, this method attaches multiple bottles to your arms like wrist weights. Before you put them on your arms, fill them with sand. For heavier weights, add water after you fill them completely with sand. When they are filled, scotch tape the plastic bottles all the way around your forearm. The tape does not touch your skin; it only touches the bottles to hold them together. You can also use duct tape, just don't attach it to your skin. Place the bottles just tight enough so they do not slide off your arms. Take an old basketball and drill a hole into one of the black stripes. The hole should be big enough to funnel in the weighted material. Place a funnel in the hole and fill with sand or pebbles until you have achieved the desired weight. Use a bike tire patch kit to fill the hole. You can also use duct tape if you don't have a tire patch kit. The repurposed ball can now be used just like a medicine ball. Fill a clean sock with dry beans. Alternately, use pebbles or small craft rocks for a heavier weight. Sew or glue the open end of the sock closed....

Fill a few coolers or a large, decorative tub about three-quarters of the way with ice. Add your sparkling wine bottles to the ice, gently pushing some up around the base to keep the wine cool.  If you don’t have wine coolers, a large, decorative vase or a painted flower pot can be used in its place. Have 2 or 3 bottles out at your bar at a time. Keep the rest in the fridge and bring them out as guests go through the chilled bottles. There is absolutely nothing wrong with putting your juices out in their bottles. If you want a more uniform look, though, pour your juices into a few matching pitchers or carafes. These are readily available at a broad variety of price points from home goods stores, dollar stores, and online. Add decorative labels to your pitchers to let guests know what they’re drinking. Tie a die cut label to a piece of ribbon or twine around the neck or handle of the pitcher. Slice and peel fruits as necessary before your guests arrive. Then, set it out on a plate or in dishes in whatever arrangement looks good to you. Decorative serving bowls are good options for berries and small fruits, while slices might be easier to get on a platter.  Set out utensils such as spoons or tongs so to make serving easy and sanitary. Alternatively, wooden, plastic, or bamboo stirring sticks can be used to skewer fruit. You can even find fun, decorative stirrers that match your party’s theme or decor. If you have 10 or 20 champagne flutes at your house, all you need to do is put them out. Otherwise, you may need to assemble some plastic flutes. Snap the base onto the flute and set them out on your table. Make things a bit more decorative by adding some colored or patterned straws to the glasses.

Fill a kettle with water to the maximum fill line. For a stove-top kettle, place it on the stove and heat the water over medium heat. For an electric kettle, plug in the kettle, turn it on, and wait for the water to boil. You can also boil water in a pot on the stove if you don’t have a kettle. Despite the name, low tea is actually a very refined event that began with British royalty back in the 1800s. As such, you should always use your finest china and best teapots when you serve low tea. Any teapot will actually suffice when you want to serve tea, but you can always visit thrift and second hand stores to find fine china at an affordable price. When the kettle boils, pour a cup (235 ml) of boiling water into the teapot. Swirl the water around to warm the pot, and then pour out the water. This will prime the teapot and make sure that no heat is lost when you brew the tea. For each person, measure 1 cup (235 ml) of water and either 1 teaspoon (1 g) of loose leaf tea or one tea bag per two people. Add the tea to the warmed teapot, followed by the water. Allow the tea to steep for three to five minutes before removing the bags or straining the leaves. You can brew any type of tea you like when you serve high tea, including:  Earl Grey English breakfast Peppermint Herbal tea Chamomile Not everybody likes their tea the same strength. Boil another kettle full of water and transfer the hot water to another teapot or a heat-safe pitcher. That way, guests can dilute their own tea if they find it too strong.

Fill a large saucepan with 1 to 2 cups (237 ml to 473 ml) of water, and place it on the stove. Turn the heat to high, and allow the water to come to a complete boil, which should take 5 to 10 minutes. If you prefer, you can boil the water in a tea kettle. Once the water comes to a boil, remove it from the stove. Carefully transfer the water to a large bowl, and mix in the essential oils of your choice. Allow the water to steep with the oils for a minute or so.  For dry or mature skin, add rose and/or jasmine essential oils to the water to soften your skin. For acne prone skin, add tea tree and/or rosemary oil to the water for their antibacterial properties. For combination skin, add grapefruit oil to the water to help balance your skin. For sensitive skin, add geranium and/or lavender oil to the water to help soothe your skin. You can also add eucalyptus oil to the water if you’re having trouble with allergies or a cold. It can help with congestion. When the water and oil have steeped for a couple of minutes, place a large towel over your head. Move your head over the bowl so your face is approximately 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 cm) from the steam.  Make sure that the towel is covering your head and the area around the bowl, so the steam is trapped and focused on your face. Be careful not to move your face too close to the steam or you may burn your skin. Hold your face over the steam for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Take a 1 to 2 minute break, and then return your face to the steam. Repeat the process for a total of 5 2-minute steaming sessions. If you find that your skin is getting too hot or starts to feel like it’s burning, immediately stop steaming your face. When you’re done steaming your skin, splash your face with warm water to rinse it. Pat your face dry with a clean towel so it’s ready for a mask. If you plan use a clay mask next, it’s not necessary to dry your face completely.

Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water, and place it on a stove. Place a spouted melting pot inside the saucepan. You can buy spouted melting pots from the candle making section of an arts and crafts shop. If you can't find any, use a heat-safe, glass measuring cup instead. Use a candy or cooking thermometer to gauge the temperature. You can use wax flakes or wax cubes. How much wax you melt will depend on how big your mold is. Plan on having some extra wax handy for the second pour, however, as the wax will sink into the sand.  Don't add any color or fragrance into the wax yet. The high temperature may change the color and ruin the scent. Never leave the melting wax unattended. If your wax has specific melting instructions, follow those instead. Some waxes have a lower melting and ignition point. Don't be alarmed if the wax starts to sink into the sand. You will add more wax later.  Consider pouring the wax over the back of a spoon to prevent too much splattering. Keep your face away from the mold and wax; there may be some splattering. As the wax sets, it will sink into the sand. This is normal, and is what creates that sandy shell. Use a higher temperature if you want a thicker shell, and a lower temperature if you want a thinner shell. Because you are using a lower temperature, you don't have to worry about the color or scent changing. Try using some ocean or tropical-themed scents, such as:  Ocean breeze Coconut Orchid Pomegranate Again, keep your face away from the mold and wax, in case of any splattering. Because your mold is already filled with a wax shell, this second pouring of wax won't sink into the sand as much.

Fill a large, deep pot with water and place it over medium-high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, use tongs to place the canning jar in the water. Let the jar boil for ten minutes to kill any harmful bacteria that may ruin your rosemary oil.  You don’t need to boil the lid. Instead, wash the lid with soap and water and let it air dry.  You can also use a boiling-water canner to sterilize the canning jar. If so, follow the manufacturer instructions. If you dried your own rosemary, place three to four sprigs in the jar. If you’re using prepackaged dried rosemary, add a large tablespoon to the canning jar. Do not use fresh, undried rosemary. If you do, your oil will become rancid and might grow harmful Botulism bacteria. Fill the jar with olive oil, leaving about half an inch (1.2 centimeters) of space at the top. Make sure all of the rosemary is completely submerged in the oil. If necessary, use a clean spoon to push dried rosemary into the oil. Screw the lid onto the canning jar and set it in a sunny place. Let it sit undisturbed for two weeks. During this time, the oil will slowly heat and become infused with rich rosemary flavors. After two weeks, you can use your rosemary oil. Place a cheesecloth in a large metal bowl. The edges of the cheesecloth should hang over the sides of the bowl. Next, pour the contents of the canning jar into the cheesecloth. Gather the cheesecloth into a bundle and squeeze it over the bowl to separate the oil from the small dried rosemary pieces.  Use clean hands to squeeze the cheesecloth. Discard the leftover pieces of rosemary. Pour the strained olive oil back into the canning jar and replace the lid. If you want, add a sprig of dried rosemary to the oil for decoration. Oils infused with dried herbs have a shelf life of one year.  If you move the oil to a new jar, sterilize the jar first.

Fill a large, stainless steel pot with enough water to completely submerge the jacket. Place it on a stovetop over medium heat and bring it to a simmer or very low boil.  There must be plenty of room in the pot for the jacket to move around underneath the water. Otherwise, the nylon may absorb the dye unevenly. You will need roughly 3 gallons of water for each package of dye you intend to use (but see the dye package for instructions). Using less water will create a stronger color; using more water will dilute the color. Ideally, you should use a pot large enough to be roughly three-quarters full once you have added the desired amount of water. Fill a separate container with about 2 cups of hot water (or whatever amount is recommended by the dye manufacturer). Stir one packet of powdered dye into the water until the powder is completely dissolved. For liquid dye, you should still mix it, stirring until it is well-blended with the water. You should not put powdered or liquid dye directly onto the jacket material unless you are going for an "artistic" look with uneven coloring. Pour the pre-dissolved dye into the pot of simmering water. Take a few moments to stir the concentrated dye into the water, allowing it to disperse evenly. This creates the "dye bath," and it is an important step for creating the most even coloring possible.  If you do not have a pot big enough to hold the appropriate amount of water plus your jacket, you can pour the simmering water into a plastic bucket or tub before mixing in your dissolved dye. Do not use fiberglass or porcelain sinks or tubs for this, as they may stain.  For best results, the dye bath should be kept warm (about 140 degrees Fahrenheit) during the dyeing process, so consider this fact when deciding whether to use a stovetop pot versus a separate container. Add 1 cup of distilled white vinegar per 3 gallons of dye bath. This helps the dye cling to the nylon fibers in the jacket and will produce a more intense result. If you don't have any vinegar, you can still dye...

Fill a medium-sized pot with cold tap water. There is no specific quantity of water needed to blanch almonds, but there should be enough water so that when you add your almonds, they are fully submerged. Use a larger or smaller pot as needed. Never use hot tap water to prepare food. The heat can leach contaminants from your pipes, adding dangerous metals to your food. Turn your stove on high, and bring your pot of water to a boil. This may take a few minutes. Wait for your water to reach a rolling boil, when many large bubbles are reaching the surface. Pour your almonds into the boiling water gently, so you don’t splash yourself with hot water. Set a timer for 60 seconds. While you wait, set a colander up in the sink. Using a potholder to protect your hand, remove the pot of almonds and hot water from the stove. Pour the pot into the waiting colander to drain the hot water. Rinse the almonds with cold water until they are cool to the touch. It should take only a minute or two. Pour the cooled almonds onto a paper towel on the counter. Gently blot them dry to remove any excess water. You may notice that the almond skins look a bit shriveled. That’s okay! Gently squeeze each almond between your thumb and forefinger to pop the almond out of its skin. The almonds can shoot out of the skins away from you, so if you like, you can pinch them into your cupped other hand. Use the blanched almonds immediately in your favorite recipe. If you’d like to store them, place them in a zip-top plastic bag in your refrigerator. The almonds will keep for up to two weeks.

Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water and 1 cup (225 grams) of sugar. Place the saucepan on the stove, and turn the heat up to medium. Don't get impatient and turn the heat to high. If you heat the sugar water too fast, the sugar will caramelize. Water and sugar create a simple homemade syrup that can be flavored with strawberries or other ingredients. Wash the strawberries and cut off the stems. Cut them into thin slices. Don't worry if the mixture appears thick. The strawberries will release more liquid once they start to cook. Add up to 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of lemon juice if you like your strawberry sauce tart. Add up to ½ teaspoon (3 milliliters) of vanilla extract if you like it on the sweet side. This will help everything cook more evenly. It will also help the sugar from caramelizing. Place a mesh strainer over a mixing bowl. Pour the syrup into the bowl, through the strainer. Discard the cooked strawberries, or save them for later. You have just gotten all the flavor out of the strawberries. Now, you need to finish cooking the syrup to get it nice and thick. Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 5 to 10 more minutes. During this time, you'll notice the syrup start to thicken. Remember to give it a stir from time to time with your whisk. This will help the syrup cook evenly. If you are using a bottle, pour the syrup through a funnel. This way, you won't spill any. When you are done, put the lid back on the jar or bottle. Don't place it into the fridge while it is still hot, or it may cause the surrounding food to heat up and start to spoil. It makes a great topping for popular breakfast and dessert foods, such as pancakes and ice cream.

Retire o xarope do fogão e coloque em um frasco ou garrafa de vidro. Deixe alcançar a temperatura ambiente antes de levar à geladeira. Mantenha o xarope na geladeira e use dentro de duas semanas.


Fill a metal or enamel camping kettle with water. When your fire burns down, move the hot coals to one side of the fire pit and place a camp grill over the coals. Put the lid on the kettle and place the kettle on the grill over the hot coals to boil the water.  You can also boil the water on a gas, wood, or electric stove if you don’t have a campfire. To make a larger batch of coffee, increase the coffee and water quantities equally. Watch the coffee carefully, because you don’t want the water to fully boil. Instead, you want to bring the water to a simmer, which is about 195 °F (91 °C). You can tell the water is simmering when bubbles regularly break the surface of the water, but the water isn't yet at a full rolling boil.

Fill a pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water. Place a large glass measuring cup or jar in the center. This recipe is enough for 8 cubes. Keep stirring until the oil has melted. Make sure that you are using solid coconut oil and not liquid. Let the mixture cool down a little. Be careful when handling the cup; use an oven mitt or potholder to handle it. Once the mixture has cooled a little, start adding the essential oil. You don't want to add the oil too soon, or the heat will cause the fragrance to burn off. You can use a single scent, or a combination of two or more scents. Here are some suggestions to get you started:  Basil and lemon Cinnamon and clove Lavender and lemon Orange and vanilla Vanilla and lavender Make sure that the mixture is cool before you add the sugar, or the sugar will melt. Keep stirring until everything is evenly combined. There should be no streaks, swirls, lumps, or clumps. You can also use a soap-making mold, if you'd like a larger bar. This will take 1 to 2 hours. Once it hardens, it will become opaque and solid, sort of like a sugar cube or textured soap bar. If you notice that the bar is still damp, wait until it dries completely before you use it. If you are in a hurry, you can also stick the molds in the freezer. The scrub bar will set even faster there. During this time, you can start your usual bathing or showering routine. Soaking your legs first will help soften the skin and make the scrub more effective. Take care not to scrub too harshly, however, or you may irritate your skin. As you use the bar, it may crumble in your hands. Don't worry, this is normal. Simply keep massaging the scrub over your legs. You can also dampen the scrub bar first, crumble it, and then use it as a normal sugar scrub. Because this scrub already contains soap, you likely won't have much or any residue left on your legs when you are done. If you do have an oily residue, you can simply wash it off using soap, or leave it on for extra moisture. Consider shaving your legs when...

Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Measure out 4 cups (950 milliliters) and pour it into a bowl.  If you wish to make a smaller batch of window clings, use 2 cups (475 milliliters) instead. Fill your pot with more water than you need. The water will evaporate as it cooks. Add the gelatin into the water first, then stir it with a whisk until it is completely dissolved. Make sure that you are using the clear, unflavored kind. You will be adding color later.  If you wish to make a smaller batch of window clings, use 3 packets instead.  Remove any bubbles with a spoon. You want it to be about ¼-inch 0.64-centimeter) thick. If you can't find a baking sheet, you can also use a casserole dish or pie pans. The goal is to get a thin layer of gelatin that is about ¼-inch 0.64-centimeter) thick. Take this time to prepare the rest of your supplies: food coloring, glitter, cookie cutters, etc. You can do this with a skewer or a toothpick. You can also use liquid watercolor, but food coloring will be safer for younger children who are still teething. If your child is still on the teething stage, consider using edible glitter instead. Work quickly, however; the gelatin will harden up after 30 minutes. If your window clings are too soft or wet, they won't stick well to the windows. Let the gelatin dry for another night. Use 1 to 2 inch (2.54 to 5.08-centimeter) cookie cutters for this. If the shapes are too big, they will be to heavy and slide down your window. Lift away the excess gelatin from around the shapes first. Next, slide a spatula under each shape, then use it to lift them out. Set the shapes down onto a smooth surface, such as a plate, baking sheet, parchment paper, wax paper, etc. Keep in mind that these window clings are delicate and easily torn. They also do not last a long time. If they aren't sticking to your window, they are too wet and heavy. Let them sit, uncovered, for another day or two, before trying again. These window clings are safe for teething children because they are made from gelatin....

Fill a shallow tray with one part free-draining potting compost and one part sand or perlite. Mix well until both materials are evenly distributed.  Note that this process should be done in either the summer or autumn. The container you use should be approximately 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) deep. Using a sharp, clean knife, trim just beneath the node of an established photinia shrub. The cutting you take should be between 2 and 4 inches (5 and 10 cm) long.  Growth hormones are concentrated in the space just beneath a node, so taking the cutting from that point will help stimulate root production. Pinch off the soft tip and remove any lower leaves from the cutting. Poke a hole in the compost using your finger or a clean chopstick. Insert the bottom third of the cutting into that hole.  Photinia cuttings tend to root well without the use of hormone treatment, but if desired, you can coat the exposed bottom of the cutting with a hormone powder before planting it.  If rooting more than one cutting, space each cutting 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) apart. Apply enough water to the compost to thoroughly moisten it. Allow any excess water to drain. In addition to feeding the cuttings, the water will help settle the compost and prevent the cuttings from shifting around too much. Cover the cuttings with plastic bags and place them in a warm location. They should receive plenty of indirect sunlight, as well.  Remove the bag twice a week for 10 minutes to help ventilate the cuttings and prevent fungi from growing. Another option would be to place the container in a closed propagator case that provides steady bottom heat between 64 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 and 24 degrees Celsius). The cuttings should take root within six to ten weeks.  During this time, the compost must remain warm and moist. You may need to mist it with a spray bottle every few days. Apply water directly to the soil and not to the cutting itself. Any dead, dying, or diseased plant matter should be discarded at least once a week during this process....

Fill a shallow tub with just an inch or two of warm water. Never let the baby's head go under water as you bathe him or her; instead, cup your hand or use a container to gently pour water over the baby.  Never leave your baby unattended in the bath. Even an inch or so of water can be life threatening. Avoid using infant bath seats. According to Safe Kids World wide, eight children per year drown due to the use of infant bath seats. Babies, infants, and children can easily slip out from this and get caught under them or by them, unable to face back to the air. Do not ever leave your infant or toddler in the care of a sibling in a bathtub.  Unless a sibling is 16 years or older, it is not appropriate to place this huge responsibility on a child. The toilet lids in your home should be fitted with baby-proof latches. Make sure not to leave buckets of water or other liquids within reach in the kitchen, bathroom, garage, or other areas of the house. Fish tanks, fountains, and other water sources should be covered or well out of reach.  Empty water toys and buckets immediately after using them. Do not leave standing water in the sink. As your baby gets old enough to understand that water can be dangerous, teach him or her the proper way to behave around water sources. Don't let him or her work the water faucets without adult supervision. Make sure older children in your home are also aware of the safety measures that must be taken to keep babies safe from water.

Fill a small bucket (or your sink) with white vinegar.  Submerge your foggy glasses in the vinegar for five minutes.  Remove them and check the results. If the vinegar dip didn’t help clean your foggy plastic cups, sprinkle them with a handful of baking soda.  Alternately, apply a dusting of baking soda to a damp sponge and scrub the cups.  The baking soda and vinegar will react, dissolving the film that causes the plastic to appear foggy. Combine white vinegar and water in equal parts.  For instance, if you have a large load of foggy plastic, you might fill your sink with one liter of vinegar and one liter of water.  Place your foggy plastic items in the water, and let them soak for one hour.  Scrub the plastic items with a damp rag until they become clear. Rinse the no longer foggy plastic in the sink under warm water.  Dry with a soft cloth. Instead of using baking soda and vinegar, mix equal amounts of water and baking soda to form a paste.  For instance, you might mix one tablespoon of baking soda with one tablespoon of water.  Dab a paper towel into the baking soda paste.  Apply the paste to a small area of the cloudy plastic using a steady circular motion. As the paste removes the cloudiness from the inside of the blender or cup you’re cleaning, you will see the paper towel darken with grime. Combine the juice of one lemon and two tablespoons of baking soda.  Fill your foggy plastic cup or blender up the rest of the way with water.  If you’re cleaning a foggy plastic blender, run the blender on high for a few seconds, then turn it off and remove the blade (if possible).  With your cup or blender bottle still filled with the lemon juice mix, scrub the inside of it with a non-abrasive sponge or microfiber cloth.  Pour the juice out when the fogginess has been corrected.

Fill a spray bottle with a few drops of mild liquid soap and water.  Spray the headlight with this soapy mixture.  Alternately, you could fill a bucket with soapy water and dip a clean cloth in it, then wipe the headlight with the damp cloth. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of baking soda into a bowl.  Pour a few tablespoons of vinegar into the bowl.  The baking soda and vinegar, when mixed, will produce a fizzing reaction. There is no need to carefully measure the volume of baking soda and vinegar you mix.  Just add both in approximately equal amounts. Dip a clean cloth into the fizzing vinegar and baking soda.  Wipe the headlight off using the same back-and-forth motion that you did when cleaning it with soapy water.  The mixture will help your discolored, grimy plastic headlight get clean.  Don’t worry about hurting yourself when dipping your hand in the fizzy mixture.  The combination of baking soda and vinegar won’t hurt you. When you’ve finished cleaning the headlight with the vinegar mix, wipe the headlights dry with a damp cloth or sponge.

Fill a stockpot three-quarters full of water and turn the burner to high. When the water boils, stir in salt and the gnocchi. The gnocchi will sink towards the bottom after you add them. Shake off the excess flour from the gnocchi before you add them to the boiling water. Continue to boil the gnocchi until they're cooked throughout and they float to the top of the water. Stir them occasionally as they boil to prevent them from clumping together. Avoid adding oil to the water while the gnocchi is boiling. It's better to stir the pasta to prevent it from sticking together. Turn off the burner and carefully scoop the gnocchi out of the water using a slotted spoon. Transfer the gnocchi to a saucepan. It's important to drain off all of the water or the gnocchi will become mushy. Add your favorite sauce to the saucepan with the gnocchi. Turn the burner to medium and cook the pasta in the sauce for about 2 minutes. The gnocchi is now ready to be served.  Cooking the gnocchi with the sauce will make the gnocchi tender and will help the sauce stick to the pasta. Refrigerate leftover cooked gnocchi in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days.

Fill an 8-oz (250-ml) plastic bottle halfway with a noise-making material. Tightly secure the cap on the top of the bottle.  There are different options you can use for the filling. Pebbles, beans, rice, birdseed, beads, dry pasta, small washers, and paper clips will produce stronger noises. Sand, salt, and small erasers will produce quieter noises. You can also mix different filling materials inside one maraca or use a filling idea not mentioned here. The filling just needs to be small enough to shake around inside the maraca. Cut straight down the length of one toilet paper tube. The cut should be as straight as possible.  Only cut one slit down the length of the tube. Do not cut the tube completely in half. If working with a paper towel roll instead of a toilet paper roll, completely cut the paper towel roll in half crosswise before cutting it lengthwise. Only use one of these halves for one maraca handle. Roll the cardboard in on itself lengthwise. Fit one open end onto the cap of the bottle. The opening should be about 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) in diameter, or just big enough to fit onto the cap snugly. Start wrapping the electrical tape around the bottom part of bottle, near the cap. Wind it around, overlapping the layers, until it also connects to the cardboard handle.  Wrap slowly and do not leave any gaps in between layers of tape. To make the maraca more decorative, use tape that comes in a bright color or pattern. Continue wrapping the tape around the cardboard tube in the same manner until you reach the very bottom. Use one piece of tape to cover the open bottom of the tube. The second maraca is made in the same way as the first, so you will need to repeat the previous steps with a second 8-oz (250-ml) plastic bottle. Consider using a different filling for your second maraca. Many real maracas have different pitches, and using different filling materials can mimic these different pitches. For instance, if you place beans in one and rice in another, the rice maraca will have a higher pitch. Grab the handle...

Fill the bottom of a small bowl with salt, cinnamon sugar, Cajun seasoning, or one of your favorite dry mixes. Toss the almonds in the dry mix until they are evenly coated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the almonds onto the parchment paper. Spread them out evenly on the baking sheet. The almonds should be lying flat, and not overlapping each other, on the parchment paper. If your oven’s lowest temperature setting is above 150 °F (66 °C), then bake them on the lowest setting for 8 to 10 hours. The almonds are done when they taste dry, or when their centers are dry and not wet and soft. Make sure your almonds are completely dry before storing them. If they are not completely dry, mold will grow on them, even if they are stored in an airtight container. Set your dehydrator to 150 °F (66 °C). Lay the almonds in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Place the almonds in the dehydrator for 12 to 24 hours, or until crispy. You do not need to line the dehydrator trays with parchment paper. Let the almonds cool to room temperature, about an hour. Place the almonds in a mason jar, or a plastic or glass container that is airtight. Store them in your pantry for 1 month. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 6 months.

Fill the glass to the brim with ice. You will end up serving the drink over ice, so adding clean ice now is a quick way to prepare the glass. Alternatively, leave the glass in the freezer for up to 4 hours to get it cold without having to worry about melting ice. If you aren’t sure what a rocks glass looks like, it’s the short, rounded glass often used for whiskey and similar shots. A standard rocks glass holds 6 to 8 fluid ounces (180 to 240 mL) of liquor. thyme or other herbs if desired. Place the fresh herbs in a mixing glass or cocktail shaker. Then, press a muddler against them and twist it 3 or 4 times until the herbs smell fragrant. Herbs, including thyme and basil, add unique flavors to the mixture, but they can be left out if you don’t have them.  Grill the thyme to further customize the drink. Heat a grill to about 500 °F (260 °C), a medium-high setting. Hold the thyme against the grill for about 15 seconds until it looks lightly charred and smells fragrant. If you don’t have a muddler, use another blunt object, such as the end of a wooden spoon. For a standard recipe, combine about 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of your favorite gin with 3⁄4 fluid ounce (22 mL) of limoncello. Pour them directly into the mixing glass with the herbs if you are using any. Then, add 1⁄4 fluid ounce (7.4 mL) of fresh lemon juice to make the drink a little more tart, like lemonade.  Adjust the ratios of liquor to suit your taste. For instance, tone down the limoncello by reducing it to 1⁄2 fluid ounce (15 mL) and increasing the amount of gin. Instead of lemon juice, try using lime juice to give the cocktail a broader citrus flavor. Leave the juice out if you prefer your drink to be less tart. If you’re using a mixing glass, pick up a cocktail mixing spoon and swirl the ice in the glass. For a cocktail shaker, cap it and shake it until everything is well-mixed. Plan on serving the cocktail in a chilled glass so you have a way to pour the ingredients out immediately. The ice will melt over time, watering down the drink and ruining...

Fill three medium size mixing bowls or shallow dishes each with a moderate amount of flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Bowls should only have one ingredient apiece. Whisk or beat the eggs with a fork until they are well blended.  Make the breading process easier by lining up the bowls so the first one contains flour, the second beaten eggs, and the third bread crumbs. If you end up running out of an ingredient while making fried purslane, you can always add more. Leftover ingredients should be used immediately in another dish or thrown away. With your clean hands or tongs, pick up a clean stalk of purslane. Coat the stalk thoroughly in flour. Once coated, submerge the stalk completely in the eggs. Allow excess egg to drip into the egg bowl, then roll the purslane in breadcrumbs so it is completely covered. Repeat this process until you have no purslane left. Breaded purslane can be fried one at a time or set off to the side and fried all at once. Place a sauté pan over medium heat and coat its bottom with a layer of olive oil. Transfer the purslane to the pan when it is heated. Cook the purslane for roughly five minutes or until the breading is golden brown. Flip the purslane while cooking so both sides fry evenly. Remove the purslane from the pan and lay it on paper towel to absorb excess oil. When it has cooled, it’s ready to eat. Lightly salt and pepper the purslane to taste. Try fried purslane with dipping sauces, like catsup, mustard, and sour cream. Experiment with different toppings to discover your favorite way of eating it. For example, you might try a light drizzling of teriyaki or soy sauce on the fried purslane.

Fill your bathtub with warm water. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to the water. Step into the tub and relax for no more than 20 minutes. The tea tree oil will help soothe tight muscles. Pour water into a large pot and bring it to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil to the water. Drape a towel over your head, similar to a tent, and lean over the pot. Be careful not to get too close to the steam to prevent burns. Inhale the steam for about 5 to 10 minutes every night before bed. Repeat this process until symptoms are gone. If symptoms persist for 5 days or more, consult your doctor. Place a few drops of tea tree oil inside your pillow case before you go to bed. The oil will help unblock your stuffy nose while you sleep. Tea tree oil is great at soothing sores and easing pain, but it is also very toxic if swallowed. If you are careful, you can use it as a mouthwash. Make a gargle solution to treat laryngitis and canker sores. Combine 1 cup (240 milliliters) of warm water with 3 to 4 drops of tea tree oil. Gargle the solution twice a day. After gargling, spit out the solution and rinse your mouth with fresh, clean water. Do not swallow the tea tree water. to sooth toothaches, use ½ cup (120 milliliters) of warm water and 1 drop of tea tree oil instead.

Find a bowl that will fit another smaller bowl inside of it, and fill the large bowl with hot water. The water doesn’t need to be boiling — it shouldn’t burn your fingers. You can easily heat up the water by microwaving it for less than 1 minute. If you want to soak both of your hands at the same time, you’ll need to find 2 bowls that will both fit in the larger bowl together. The easiest method is to choose 1 smaller bowl that will fit in the larger bowl and soak each hand 1 at a time. When choosing a smaller bowl, make sure it’s big enough to fit all 5 nails.

Find a common item in your home that is flexible, meaning that it bends so you can use the length of it to measure curves on your body.  Try common materials like string, yarn, a piece of scrap fabric, or a cable. Make sure the material you use isn’t precious, as you will be marking it up, cutting it, or otherwise potentially damaging it for use in taking measurements. Look for an object that you have on hand that has an even, known length to allow for easy measuring. Depending on the object, you can either use it to directly measure on your body, or to measure the length of another material like string.  For instance, a standard American printer paper size is 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long. An American dollar bill is 2.5 inches wide by 6 inches long.  You can also look up the size written on the bottom of a baking pan, a box, or another object that you can easily find the exact dimensions of. If you don’t already know the exact length of the material you’re using in place of measuring tape, use a flat ruler to mark increments on it.  If you use a material that is long, you can mark off every 6 or 12 inches on it to measure longer lengths of the body, like inseam. On shorter material like a piece of paper or dollar bill, you can simply use it to measure one length at a time, or fold it in halves to measure smaller increments. If you don’t have a ruler, you can measure lengths with standard objects like printer paper or a dollar bill. Or, approximate lengths using your hand and arm. The distance from your first knuckle to the end of your fingertip is about 1 inch, the distance across your palm underneath the fingers is about 4 inches, and the distance from elbow to fingertips is about 18 inches. However, these approximations vary on each body. Place your material across or around the part of the body you want to measure to find its length based on your marks or understanding of the material’s length.  If your material is too short to span the length of the area, place your finger as precisely as possible...

Find a community garden by typing “community garden near me” in your search engine. Community gardens may either charge their members a fee, or require their members to take part in caring for the garden and growing the produce to join. If there is a community garden 1 to 3 miles (1.6 to 4.8 km) from where you live, then join it.  To be considered organic, pesticides should not be used on the plants, and organic seeds and natural fertilizers should be used to grow the community garden. If you are feeling ambitious, try starting your own community garden. An organic box scheme is a service that delivers organic fruits and vegetables to your door however often you want. Pick the ingredients that you want for the week and submit your order online. Many box schemes require their customers to spend a minimum of $15 to $20 USD per order. Find a box scheme near you by typing “organic box scheme near me” in your search engine. Choose a service that fits your needs and budget. In an organic co-op, members fill out a form that lists the types of produce they want. The co-op then orders the food in bulk from local farmers and food producers. Look for co-op listings at your local health food store or online. Members are typically required to pay a monthly or annual fee.  Alternatively, create your own co-op if you know enough people who want to be a part of a co-op. Some vendors, but not all, sell organic products. Ask the vendor if you can see their certification paperwork for their products. However, farmers that make less than $5,000 a year selling their products are not required to be certified. For these vendors, ask them how the food was grown to determine if it is organic or not. Food that is organic has been grown in soil that is fertilized naturally. Farmers that grow organic produce do not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge, ionizing radiation, or modified organisms to grow their food. In a CSA program, you pay a local farmer at the beginning of the season for a share of their crop that year....

Find a deep metal sauce pan with thick sides. Next, add the white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, water, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or large spoon to mix the ingredients into a slurry. Place the saucepan on your stove over medium-high heat. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, and let it come to a boil. When the mixture is boiling, you will see large bubbles rising rapidly to the surface. Once the mixture is boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer. A mixture is simmering when small, active bubbles rise to the surface. Continue simmering the mixture until it thickens into a syrup. This process will take about ten minutes. Stir the mixture while it simmers. Remove the syrup from the heat and set it aside. Let the mixture cool for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the syrup is room temperature, serve it over cinnamon French toast, pancakes, sausages, or waffles.

Find a pressurized can of aerosol insecticide labeled for wasps and hornets at a home improvement store or garden center. Check the label, and make sure that it produces a solid stream that reaches at least 15 ft (4.6 m).  You'll need a long-range aerosol insecticide so you can target the nest without getting too close. Read the instruction label and use your product as directed. The best time to treat a hornet nest with insecticide is around 2 hours after dusk. Hornets are least active at night, and most of the workers return to the nest after dusk.  Since they remain active after sunset, European hornets are an exception to this rule. For this species, the best time to spray is just before sunrise when it's still dark. European hornets can grow over 1 in (2.5 cm) in length, and have a reddish-brown head and thorax (the middle section of the body). Other wasps and hornets don't have this reddish-brown coloring. Hornets have trouble seeing red light, so secure a sheet of red cellophane over your flashlight with a rubber band. That way, you'll be able to see where you're going without disturbing the nest.  You'll attract unwanted attention if you use an unfiltered flashlight. Remember to wear protective clothing when you approach the nest. Keep in mind treating a hornet or wasp nest yourself is risky, and protective clothing does not make you invincible. When you locate your marker and find the nest, try to track down the opening. Again, binoculars can help you get a good view without getting too close. When you find the opening, spray a steady stream of insecticide at it for at least 5 to 10 seconds.  The goal is to keep the nest intact as you soak the opening. That way, any hornets that come out and try to attack with come into contact with the insecticide. Do your best to hold the stream for several seconds, but don't stick around longer than necessary. If you hear angry, swarming hornets, cover your head with your hands and run toward shelter. Wait 24 to 48 hours, then head back to the nest to check your...

Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you can lie down without noise or distractions. You could lie down on a bed, your couch, a yoga mat, or even on the grass if you can find a cozy outdoor spot where you won’t be disturbed. Try to clear your mind. Let your hands rest on your chest or by your sides—whatever is comfortable for you. As you get comfortable, close your eyes. Try to picture your body gently floating upwards and hovering a short distance above whatever surface you’re lying on. Try to focus entirely on the image and sensation of yourself floating. If your attention wanders, gently redirect it. As you picture yourself floating there, try to feel it as well as visualize it. Imagine that there is only empty air beneath you. Keep focusing on these sensations until you can no longer feel whatever solid surface is under you. You may need to maintain your “floating” visualization for some time before you can achieve this loss of sensation. If you find yourself losing focus, take a few deep breaths and try again. Once you feel like you’re truly detached from the surface beneath you, imagine yourself slowly moving into an upright position. Visualize yourself walking or floating around the room, examining different objects and details of your surroundings. Try not to analyze what you're seeing or doing--just let the experience unfold. You may be tempted to turn around and look at your own body, but don't try it until you’ve gotten comfortable with the other stages of the process! Otherwise, you might disrupt the OBE—thinking about your physical body is likely to bring you back to it. This visualization-based OBE technique can take a long time to master, so don’t be discouraged if you’re not able to do it successfully at first. Practice each stage of the process repeatedly over time until you can do it easily and comfortably. It may take a few months of practice to learn each stage of this technique. For example, you might need to focus at first on imagining yourself floating above your body, then reaching the...
