Use a sharp knife and slice the beef into thin strips along with the grain. Each strip should be about 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Cut each strip crosswise into 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) slices. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, half the soy sauce, and the sesame oil. Add the beef, then stir well until all the meat is coated. Set the meat aside for 10 to 20 minutes. Use your hands to separate the noodles into strips. If necessary, cut the noodles into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces.  Note that the noodles may break into shorter pieces as you separate them. Use actual chow fun noodles if possible. If not, use any wide rice noodle. Cut the white portions off the green onions. Smack the white parts with the flat side of your knife, and place them in a bowl.  You should also add the ginger and garlic to the same bowl, as well. Place the green portions of the onion in a separate bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the white pepper, sugar, remaining soy sauce, rice wine, oyster sauce, and water. Place this seasoning liquid near the stove, next to the other ingredients. Place a large skillet or wok on the stove and heat it on high. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of cooking oil. The skillet is hot enough when you can add a bead of water to it and watch it evaporate withing 1 to 2 seconds. Place the ginger, garlic, and crushed sections of the green onion in the hot oil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 15 seconds or until the aroma gets drawn out. Once ready, carefully push the aromatics to one side of the pan. Add the beef to the pan in a flat layer. Sear it without stirring for 1 minute. Place the bean sauce in the skillet. Stir together with the beef and continue cooking for 30 seconds.  Use black bean garlic sauce. If you cannot find any at the store, you can crush 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of cooked black beans with a fork and add that, instead. The beef should be cooked through, but be careful to avoid overcooking it. Once cooked, remove the beef, bean sauce, and aromatics. Set it aside. After removing the contents of...

Use a sharp knife to cut the okra into bite-sized pieces that will fry evenly. Fried okra is typically breaded with cornmeal, or a mixture of cornmeal and flour. It's fine to roll it in plain cornmeal, or cornmeal mixed with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Whatever mixture you choose, each piece of okra in a thin layer of breading, and shake off the excess. Don't use a wet batter to bread the okra before freezing, though, since it won't hold up well in the freezer over time. Place the okra pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for an hour. Remove it from the freezer when the okra pieces are firm enough to hold their shape. Fill each freezer bag to within an inch of the top with the frozen okra pieces. Close the top of the bag, leaving just enough space to stick a straw into the empty headspace. Suck the air out of the bag so that it closes tight around the okra, then remove the straw and seal the bag. When you're ready to use the okra, heat vegetable or peanut oil in a large stockpot. Let the oil get hot enough to sizzle when you add a piece of cornmeal to the pot. Put the frozen okra pieces directly into the hot oil and cook them until they're golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

Use a sharp knife to cut the venison roast into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes. During this time, you should also trim any visible fat or connective tissue you see. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Toss the venison cubes in the flour, rolling and turning them as needed until all sides are coated. You could also do this by placing the flour and venison in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake it vigorously to coat all the pieces. Pour the oil into a large skillet and heat it on medium-high for a minute or so.  The oil should become visibly thinner. Do not allow it to become hot enough to smoke, though. For a richer flavor, replace the oil with butter. Place the coated cubes of venison roast in the skillet of hot oil. Cook, turning frequently, until lightly browned on most sides.  Browning the cubes of meat before adding them to your slow cooker deepens the flavor. The oil or butter also adds fat to the otherwise lean meat, which will help the meat stay tender and moist during the cooking process. Dump the contents of the skillet into your slow cooker, dispersing the venison evenly over the bottom of the appliance. Do not drain the excess oil. Pour it into the slow cooker along with the meat. Layer the cubed potatoes, diced carrots, chopped celery, and chopped onion on top of the meat. You can alter or omit the vegetables you use, but you should always include onion since the pungent onion flavor helps mask the "gamey" taste of venison. Pour enough broth over the contents of the slow cooker to completely cover the venison.  You do not need to keep all of the vegetables submerged, but the meat itself needs to be submerged if you want it to remain moist. If you do not have beef broth, chicken broth, vegetable broth, venison stock, or water can be used, instead. Cover the slow cooker and cook it on high for 6 hours, or until the vegetables and cubes of meat are tender enough to fall apart. If you want to prolong the cooking time, switch the slow cooker on low and cook the stew for 8 to 10 hours. Switch...

Use a sharp knife to cut the venison roast into slices that are roughly 2 inches (5 cm) thick.  Cutting the roast into slices will make it easier to keep the meat submerged under the sauce as it cooks. You should also remove any visible fat and connective tissue as you cut the roast into slices. Spread the slices of onion evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the slices of deer roast on top of the onions.  The pungent onion flavor helps mask the "gamey" taste of the venison. If possible, avoid overlapping the slices of venison roast. Keep the slices in as even and flat a layer as possible. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and the brown sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will form the base of your barbecue sauce. Add the beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, butter, chili powder, salt, ground mustard, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the vinegar-sugar sauce base. Whisk these ingredient in, blending everything evenly. Margarine, lard, or vegetable shortening can be used instead of butter, if desired, but you must include some sort of fat if you want the naturally lean deer meat to become tender and moist as it cooks. Pour the barbecue sauce over the venison slices, covering the meat completely and evenly. If desired, you can reserve 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the sauce to serve on the side when the shredded roast is finished cooking. Pour the liquid over the contents of the slow cooker, covering the roast in the process.  You may need to add more cola if 1 cup (250 ml) fails to cover the roast. Make sure that the roast is just barely covered. If you don't want to use cola, you can use beer, chicken stock, beef broth, or water. Regardless of what you use, though, the meat should be covered in liquid as it cooks. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low. Cook until the meat is tender enough to pull apart with a fork. If you don't have that much time, you can opt to cook the roast on high for 6 hours, instead. Remove the...

Use a sharp knife to do this. This will make the chestnuts roast faster, allowing the steam to escape from the chestnuts. You can also just pierce each chestnut several times with a fork. You can also just place them right on the grill, with the cut side facing up. Sprinkle them lightly with water to help them roast. Roast them until they're tender and the shell comes off easily. While they're roasting, use a spoon or spatula to move them around every few minutes so they don't burn. When they're done roasting, remove them from the oven. Wait 2-3 minutes for the chestnuts to cool off and then wrap them in a towel and squeeze them until the skin is crushed. Leave them in the towel for another five minutes. Do this while they're still warm to make the process easier. Take out the inner skin along with the shell. If any nuts are hard to peel, you can heat them briefly for a few more minutes until they're ready. Enjoy these nuts on their own while they're nice and hot.

Use a sharp serrated knife to divide the squash in half lengthwise.  Cut the squash in half from top to bottom.     Peeling is not necessary or desired.     Scoop out the seeds and pulp with a metal spoon or melon-baller.    The halves should be cut-side down. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) cool to lukewarm water to the dish. The water helps to prevent the squash from sticking and also creates steam, which aids in the cooking process. Tightly cover the top of the dish with aluminum foil.  If using nonstick foil, make sure that the nonstick side faces down toward the squash.     Pinch the foil around the edges of the baking dish to ensure a tight seal. The squash should be tender enough to poke with a fork after it finishes. You may not notice any change in color.    If desired, scoop out the softened flesh and place it into a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon into the squash.  Wait several minutes after pulling the squash out of the oven before handling it.     You can also serve the squash without mashing it. Simply divide the squash into quarters or however many pieces you desire. Sprinkle it with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, or try different seasonings, like salt and pepper.

Use a sharpie to make wood grain lines on several paper towel rolls or toilet tissue rolls. You may want to cut longer rolls in half so that your logs are similarly-sized. If you have time, as an extra touch, try lightly soaking the paper towel rolls in water, crushing them in your hand,  and allowing them to dry before drawing wood grain lines on them. This will give them a wrinkled, realistic appearance, mirroring real logs. As an added decoration, you may want to add grey coals or rocks in and around your campfire. Doing this is easy - all you need to do is paint styrofoam packing peanuts grey (spray paint is cheap, easy, and works well). For bigger rocks, cut or break chunks from styrofoam packing material. Putting a small, well-concealed flashlight behind your fire is a great way to give it a flaming glow. Prop a small, medium-intensity flashlight so that it shines up into the base of the flames. Done correctly, this will make the flames at the base of the fire brightest, giving the impression that the fire is glowing with intensity. You may find that conventional bulbs give a better effect than LED bulbs. LED bulbs usually give off a "white" light and can be quite bright, while conventional bulbs can have a warmer, slightly dimmer, more natural "yellow" glow. If you have space, a small, gentle fan can give your flames a constant rustling motion, mimicking the effect of real flames. If you can, have the fan blow up directly behind the fire; otherwise, set the fan at its lowest setting a few feet behind the fire. The flames shouldn't drastically bend or sway - you're looking for a gentle, subtle effect that's not too distracting.

Use a shovel or gardening trowel to prepare your holes for planting. Each hole (for a single plant or hibiscus seed) should be as deep as the roots go, and at least twice, if not three times, as wide. The loose soil around the plant will allow for better drainage, and should not be tamped down. Plant each hibiscus plant at least 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) away from each other. In cold climates, plant the bulbs deeper than you normally would. In warm and soggy climates, plant the bulbs closer to the surface. Carefully place each hibiscus plant into its own individual hole, being careful not to damage the root ball. Refill the hole with soil, going only as high as the base of the stem. Covering up the stems with soil could kill the plant over time. Give your hibiscus a heavy watering two to three times in a row immediately after planting to help reduce the risk of transplant shock. Try to keep your hibiscus plants moist, but not soaking wet. Make sure that the soil your hibiscus are in is damp at all times, as when it dries out, it can cause wilting and heat stroke in the plants. In the winter when the plant is dormant, only water when the soil gets very dried out. Make sure that you wait one to two weeks before you fertilize the plants. It may be beneficial to add a layer of mulch to your hibiscus garden, as this will block out weeds and trap in moisture. Pull out any weeds on sight, so that your hibiscus are not forced to compete for space and nutrients. Tropical hibiscus tend to have issues with pest on occasion, more so than hardy varieties. If you notice spotting or decaying leaves, try using an organic insecticide to kill off any disease or bugs that are harming the hibiscus. . Although pruning sounds counterintuitive, it actually helps to promote new growth and causes more blossoms to appear. There are several methods of pruning, but they all work by cutting branches just above a node (leaf joint) at an angle away from the center of the bush. This will send a signal to the plant to grow more branches at this...

Use a shovel or similar tool to clear away snow that surrounds the car. Try to make it so you can see all the tires. If there is ice be aware of it.   In very heavy and/or deep snow, you may have to prioritize your efforts. Be sure to dig out tires and enough so you can get in the car. You may not have to remove ice that is textured. Ice that is rough will add traction, so usually not worth removing. After you’ve dug out your car, make sure that the tailpipe is free of snow. While you may have removed the snow from around it, make sure the tailpipe itself is clear and doesn’t get buried again. This is important, as the exhaust could build up in the car if the tailpipe isn’t clear. Pour a gritty substance in front, behind, and on the sides of your tires. Gritty substances will help your tires gain traction when you try to back up or move forward. Some substances you can pour include:  Salt, which will not only help tires gain traction, but will melt the ice and snow underneath them. Kitty litter. Car mats, welcome mats, or carpet squares. Sand. If gritty materials don’t work, look for other materials that could help your tires gain traction. This includes pieces of plywood, ridged sheet metal, or similar items. Then, place the items in front of or behind your tires so you can back or drive onto them and then out of the snow. If you have snow chains, you should put them on.

TL;DR in Russian:

Use a shovel to dig a hole twice as wide as the container currently holding the pyracantha plant. The hole should be approximately the same depth as the container. Tip the container holding the pyracantha on its side. Glide a shovel or trowel around the perimeter of the container to loosen root mass and soil, then gently wedge the plant out by applying pressure from the bottom.  When removing a plant from a disposable plastic container, you can usually press on the sides of the container to ease the plant out. If removing the plant from a firmer container, slide the trowel down along one side of the container. Once it is as deep as possible, tilt the handle of the trowel back. The leverage should help pry the root ball out. Place the pyracantha in the center of the planting hole. Fill the rest of the hole in with soil. Make sure that the shrub is planted to the same depth as it was in its previous container. If you surround the stem with too much soil, it can weaken or kill the plant. Sprinkle a handful of bone meal onto the soil around the base of the plant. Use your hands or a small garden fork to gently work it into the soil. Bone meal is an organic fertilizer that adds phosphorus to the soil. It can encourage root development and make it easier for the plant to establish itself. If you want to use another fertilizer, make sure that you choose one that provides a high dosage of phosphorus. If you choose to plant multiple pyracantha shrubs, you should space each shrub 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm ) apart. Note that if you choose to plant multiple rows to create a thicker hedge, each row should be 28 to 40 inches (70 to 100 cm) apart. Water the pyracantha regularly for the first month after transplanting it. It will need more water than usual as it establishes itself in the garden soil.  The soil should receive a little water each day. If the weather forecast does not predict any rain for the day, lightly water the soil in the morning. The soil shouldn't be so soaked that puddles begin to form, but it is...

Use a slip knot to tie the yarn onto the crochet hook. Slide the hook into the first stitch you plan to work with for your design.  More specifically, insert the hook through the back horizontal bar of the stitch you're working over. If you're familiar with standard single crochet, this back horizontal bar will be treated as the top portion of the stitch you'd usually work with. Yarn over the tip of the hook from back to front while the hook is still behind the overall piece. Pull the hook and this yarn-over back to the front of the piece, creating a loop in the process. There should be two loops on your hook after this step. Wrap the yarn over the tip of the hook again, working from back to front. Grab the previous yarn-over with the hooked tip and carefully pull it through both loops on the hook.  This completes one surface single crochet. Note that there should be one loop left on your hook when you complete the stitch. Work as many single surface crochet stitches as needed to complete the desired surface pattern. You will essentially be working a row of standard single crochet. Instead of inserting the hook through the next stitch in the row, though, you'll be inserting the hook through the next stitch of the piece you're decorating. When you reach the end of the pattern, cut the yarn, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) tail. Grab this tail with your crochet hook and pull it through the final loop on your hook.  This should get rid of the last loop on your hook and tie off your project. Note that you should also weave in the loose tail end to hide it and help prevent the stitches from unraveling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Use a small amount at a time so your carpet doesn’t get soaking wet. Slowly pour the club soda over the entire stain so it bubbles and soaks into your carpet. Once the stain is covered with club soda, let it sit for about 10-15 minutes so it can penetrate the pad underneath.  You can buy club soda from any grocery store. Club soda works best for fresh urine stains. After 10-15 minutes has passed, set a cleaning rag on top of the stain and press firmly onto it to lift out the soda. If the cloth gets too wet, wring it out or use another to lift the odor out. Work your way over the entire stain until most of the soda is lifted up. Don’t wipe back and forth over the stain or else the urine smell will work back into the carpet. Cover the stain with 2 layers of paper towels and pat it dry. Push down hard with your hand to absorb any club soda that’s deep within the carpet pad. Keep pressing down across the entirety of the stain until you can’t pull up any more liquid. Using club soda will remove the odor, but you may have a stronger smell when you first remove it. Pick your favorite scent of air freshener or essential oil and spray it on your carpet to cover up any residual odor that the soda brought up. Spritz enough to mask the smell and then check your carpet in a few hours to see if you can still smell the urine.  Look for air fresheners that eliminate odors rather than cover them up since they kill odor-causing bacteria. If you still smell urine, you may need to try a stronger cleaning method.

TL;DR in Russian:

Полейте пятно газированной водой. Промокните пятно чистой тряпкой или губкой. Высушите пятно бумажными полотенцами. Побрызгайте на ковер освежителем воздуха, чтобы придать ему приятный запах.


Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, dirt, grease, and wax from the faux leather. Dampen a cotton ball and wipe the entire surface of the material. A clean surface, free from dirt and grease, will allow the paint to strongly adhere to the faux leather. Prepare a paint palette so you can easily and efficiently access your desired paint colors as you work. You can buy a wooden or plastic artist’s palette at an arts and crafts store, or you can use a sheet of aluminum foil, a newspaper, or a magazine to house your paint. Squeeze your desired paint colors onto your paint palette and add a few drops of acetone to the paint if you are working with acrylics. The acetone will thin the paint, making it smooth and easier to work with. Gently mix the paint and the acetone together with a small paintbrush. Be sure to only add a few drops or up to a teaspoon of acetone to your paint so that the paint does not become too watery.  Acrylic paint can dry quickly, so do not squeeze too much paint onto your palette at once. Gradually add a few additional drops of acetone if the paint is too thick. If you are painting a large surface in a uniform color, you will want to apply an even base coat of paint to the surface. Use the paint you selected for your project and apply it to the surface. This is ideal if you are working with furniture or clothing. Lightly press the sponge into the paint from your paint palette. Use long, vertical strokes to distribute the paint across the faux leather surface. Acrylic paint can dry rapidly, so you will need to work quickly if you are working with this medium. Focus on creating long strokes when painting a large surface to avoid creating streaks. If you are working on upholstery, plan to paint only one side at a time. Before adding additional coats, the paint will need to dry completely. Place the item in a safe place where it won’t be disturbed, damaged, or moved. Wait for about 15 to 20 minutes for the coat to dry completely. After the first coat of paint has thoroughly...

Use a small shovel or your hands to dig a hole for your fig tree. Make the hole just large enough for the root ball to fit, and plant the tree at the same level it was growing in the container. Remove the plant from the container and carefully put it on its side. Use a pair of gardening shears to trim off the excess roots around the edges, as these reduce fruit production. Then, place the root ball in the hole and spread the roots carefully away from the trunk. Fill in the areas beneath and around the tree with soil, and pat the soil so it is even and firm. To help your newly planted tree to settle, give them a heavy watering for a few days. However, in general figs don’t like a ton of water, so give your tree a moderate amount of water 1-2 times a week after planting. If you planted your fig tree outside, it is important that you maintain the soil and plot that the plant is growing in. Pull any weeds that you see, and replenish the soil with fertilizer every 4-5 weeks. Additionally, apply between 4 and 6 inches of mulch around the trunk of the tree, covering the soil evenly.  Keep in mind that trees planted in containers are more dependent on fertilizer, and they need to be fertilized once per month. Mulching in the summer will preserve moisture. Mulching in the winter will protect the figs from cold and frost. Prune your fig tree in the summer of the second year, as it is not necessary to prune them during their first year of growth. Prune the branches down to 4 strong shoots, which will lead in the production of fruit. After the tree matures, prune back every spring before the figs begin to grow. Harvest figs from the tree when they are completely ripe, as they will not continue to ripen after picking (like peaches). A ripe fig will be a little bit soft, and curved at the neck. The color of a ripe fig will vary depending on the variety you have, as figs come in many different colors. Remove the fruit from the tree gently to avoid bruising the fig. Wear gloves when picking your figs, as the sap from the...

Use a small, clean bowl filled with warm water and soak each hand for 3-5 minutes. This will soften your nail bed and make clipping and filing easier for you. The most common nail shapes are square, oval and squoval (a combination of a square and oval – essentially a square shape with rounded edges), but choose the shape that works best for you. If you aren’t sure which shape to choose, check out the shape of your cuticles and then shape your nails similarly.  Square nail shapes are the most durable because they span the entire width of the nail bed. Aesthetically they look best on long fingers with wide nail beds, but this shape is popular in general. The next best option is squoval, as far as sturdiness is concerned. This shape looks great on any hand. There are many types of nail files, including glass files, emery boards and metals files. For shaping the nails, opt for a glass file. The coarser grit allows for more control when shaping. If you need to remove a significant amount of length before you shape your nails, use nail clippers to carefully clip your nails to be slightly longer than your desired length and use a file to eliminate the rest while shaping. Filing back and forth can weaken your nails. Instead use smooth strokes in one direction when filing, starting with one side and then moving on to the other. Be sure to use your file to smooth away any rough edges after shaping your nails. Rough edges can cause snags and leaving behind any sharp points can be dangerous. This will smooth away any dents, ridges and leftover nail polish from your nail. Buff the entire nail but also the tips of your nails, which will smooth away any residual ridges after filing.

Use a soft nylon broom to brush off the stones. This removes dirt and debris, along with helping dislodge weeds that may be growing between the stones. Try doing this at least once a week. Polymeric sand can be used between the stones to help maintain them throughout the season. Sand can keep weeds from growing between the stones, so you don’t have to keep pulling them up every month. You can buy polymeric sand at home improvement stores. Sand can also help bugs from raising between the stones and making their way through the patio to your house. Surface protector can help keep moss and dirt from collecting on surfaces during the winter months. You can also treat your stone patio with surface protector at the beginning of the season to help keep dirt off the stone.  You mix this solution with water and spray it on the stone. Follow the directions on the bottle to mix the proper ratio of solution to water. This should be done every four months. You can find patio and stone surface protector solution at home improvement stores. Fill a spray bottle with distilled white vinegar. Add one teaspoon of dish soap to the vinegar. Stir the solution to mix the ingredients. Aim the nozzle at the weeds between the stones and cover them in the vinegar spray. Use on sunny dry days. Rain, cool, cloudy days don’t yield the same results.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to go over all of your furniture before you wipe it down. This will lift any dust and other small particles that might otherwise get ingrained into your furniture when washing. Feather dusters aren’t as effective for furniture because a feather duster won’t lift any particles. Some feather dusters also have sharp quills which could scratch your furniture. Unless you know for sure what kind of finish your furniture is, paint, stain, or another treatment, it’s best to start with the least harmful cleaning products on a small area. Grab a cotton ball or soft cloth. Moisten your cotton ball or cloth with warm water and add a drop of dish soap or dishwashing detergent. Start wiping an inconspicuous area of your wooden furniture like the inside of a leg.  Right now, you want to test to see if the detergent is going to be harmful to your wood furniture. Let the treated area sit for a minute or so and look for any discoloration. If you don’t notice any unwanted change, your solution is safe. If you do notice a change, then continue with only warm water and a damp cloth. If you didn’t notice a change when you tested your furniture. You can mix water and dish soap in a bucket. Mix 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm water and 1/2 cup of liquid dish detergent. You want to add enough soap so your water is soapy. Start wiping down your furniture with a damp cloth that you dipped in your solution.  Be careful not to soak the wood. Keep your cloth or sponge damp but not soaking wet. Too much water will ruin the wood. You can also use mineral oil to clean your wood in addition to or as a substitution to detergent. After you’ve thoroughly wiped down your wood, protect it by applying a wax or finish. You can find a variety of wood-specific sprays and polishes at any home goods store or grocery store. Look for sprays that contain silicone oil for protection. For waxing, use only a soft cotton cloth or wax brush. Apply the wax a little at a time and rub it into the wood in a circular motion.  Once the wax begins...

Use a soil test to determine the best way to treat your soil. Cooperative Extension Services or soil testing laboratories can analyze your soil. You can find them through a local state university. A commercial testing kit can also be used to test your soil. Take multiple samples from different locations around the lawn and at different depths of the soil, near the surface and 8 to 10 inches (20–25cm) or more in depth. Label each one clearly. Do this once the old lawn has been removed by your selected process. This is a nice opportunity to fix existing grade problems:  The ground should slope away from your house in all directions. It should drop about 2 ½ inches every 10 feet (3 m). Use a landscaping rake if the grading adjustments are minor. Water the area and fill in puddled areas with soil from the high spots on your lawn. The finished grade should be at the level of surrounding areas  like a patio or sidewalk. If you’re adding amendments to the soil than adjust the grading depth to about 2 inches (5 cm) lower than the fixed surfaces (such as a patio) bordering your new lawn. Now that you’re starting from scratch, take advantage of your access to the soil of your lawn by preparing it for “hosting” grass seeds.  Add organic matter, lime, sulfur or fertilizer to serve as amendments for the site of your new lawn.  Don’t cultivate the soil it too finely. You’ll want to avoid the soil crusting into a hard surface which prevents seeds from emerging.  Aim for soil that isn’t dense and will allow seeds to grow. Lawns started from seed are best planted in the early fall or in the spring after frost season. Sow the seed evenly from a spreader, walking at a slow, steady pace and allowing a 6 inch to 1 foot (0.30 m) overlap of seeds. Work the seed gently into the ground afterward using an inverted plastic rake, and apply a thin topdressing of soil to ensure good soil contact and moisture retention.  Select the seed that works best for your lawn environment. Your seed-seller can make a recommendation. Use a...

TL;DR in Russian:

Проведите анализ почвы. Взрыхлите почву и обеспечьте ей надлежащий уклон. Обогатите почву перед посадкой нового газона. Засейте газон. Внесите удобрение. Тщательно полейте свежезасеянный газон. Скосите молодой газон. Хорошо заботьтесь за газоном в первые 4–6 недель.


Use a spade to dig a hole that is roughly twice the diameter and just as deep as the current pot. Then, mix that removed soil in with potting soil to create roughly a 50-50 mixture. Gently dig around the edges of the plant in the pot and turn it upside down until it loosens. Position this plant in the newly dug out hole in the soil. Look for a potting soil that is specifically made for plants in an open-soil garden. This type of soil will have a higher dirt density, as compared to standard potting soil. Bamboo does best in soil that is moist, but well drained. If water is sitting on the surface of the dirt, then your bamboo may begin to rot. You can test the drainage of the soil beforehand by observing how it looks after a rain shower. If the water doesn't fully drain off and stays on the soil's surface, then it's probably not the best place to plant. Some pests, such as aphids, are easily visible on bamboo. Simply pluck these tiny, green insects off the plant with your fingers and apply a pesticide to keep them from coming back. Other pests, such as mealybugs, are resistant to pesticides. In these situations, it's often best to simply spray the pests off the plants with a steady stream of water. Before you water your bamboo, use your hand to gently brush away any dead sticks or leaves on the top of the soil. These pieces of debris can spread dangerous fungi to your plant, which can cause root rot. Also, avoid over-watering your plants, as fungi grow best in saturated soil. If your plant begins to bend at the stem and feels overly moist to the touch, then it may be suffering from rot. Dig up this plant in order to prevent the spread of the fungi.

TL;DR in Russian:

Осенью или зимой пересадите растения из горшков в открытый грунт. Поливайте пересаженные растения 2–3 раза в неделю. Удаляйте вредителей вручную или обрабатывайте растения пестицидами. Чтобы защитить бамбук от различных болезней, удаляйте вокруг его стволов траву и сорняки.


Use a spice grinder to grind the toasted sesame seeds into a fine powder. There should be no solid seeds left when done. If you do not have a spice grinder, consider using a coffee grinder or mortal and pestle, instead. In a small bowl, whisk together the ground sesame seeds, dashi, soy sauce, sugar, sake, rice vinegar, and black pepper until the mixture is evenly blended.  For this sauce, you could pulse the ingredients together using a blender instead of whisking by hand, if desired. Doing so can help combine the solid ingredients—the ground sesame seeds, the sugar, and the black pepper—more thoroughly. Note that this is the other common sauce served with shabu shabu, and it, too, can be purchased commercially to save time. This sauce will end up being light brown. Transfer the sauce to a second shallow serving dish.  The bowl needs to be shallow so that you can dip food into the sauce without difficulty. Do not combine the sesame sauce and ponzu sauce. The two must be kept in separate dishes. The sauce can be served without any garnishes, but garnishes can add color and an extra splash of taste. Thinly sliced green onions, a small sprinkle of chopped garlic, and a dash of ground red pepper are good choices for sesame sauce.  Add the garnishes to taste. Keep in mind that they should accent the sauce, not overwhelm it or mask it. Set the sesame sauce aside until you are ready to serve the shabu shabu.

TL;DR in Russian:

Измельчите семена кунжута в порошок. Смешайте компоненты для соуса. Вылейте в сервировочное блюдо. Украсьте, если это необходимо.


Use a spoolie brush to brush up your eyebrows. Note the natural shape of your brows and look for any spots where your brows are sparse or uneven.   Pluck or wax any hairs that you don’t want. Trim the top of your brows if necessary. Line a thin makeup brush up along the side of your nose. The brush will hit your brow where it should start. Next, keep the brush next to your nose and move it at a 45° angle to the outer corner of your eye. This is where your brow naturally ends. The strokes should mimic the growth of your brow hairs. Match the color of your pencil to the color of your brows. Start drawing in the inner corners of your eyes. Slowly work your way out to the ends of your brow, lightly drawing strokes in the sparse spots. With an angled brush, comb brow powder or eyeshadow through your brows to better fill them in. Use very little powder where your brows start, and add more towards the end of your brows. Try brushing the powder lightly back and forth for good coverage. This will also better define your arch.  Blend the color and soften any sharp lines with by brushing your brows with your spoolie brush. Focus on really diffusing the color near the beginning of your brow. To do this, wipe excess powder off the spoolie brush and use the clean brush to soften and blend. Use your fingers or a cotton swab to wipe away any color that’s outside your brow lines. Make the brows look sharp and clean by brushing translucent powder around the edges of your brows. Or you can clean them up by brushing color-correcting concealer around the perimeter of your brows. Lightly cover your brows with clear gel or clear mascara to help maintain your look all day.

TL;DR in Russian:

Умойте лицо и протрите брови насухо полотенцем. Определите, где начинаются и заканчиваются ваши брови. С помощью карандаша для бровей сделайте несколько коротких направленных вверх штрихов. Подчеркните брови спрессованной пудрой, которая подходит по цвету. Вытрите брови.


Use a spray bottle from a department store or drug store. Add one cup of water to the spray bottle. Make sure the bottle is big enough. As you'll be adding dye, leave a little headspace when you're done adding water. Use a fabric paint in your chosen color. Add three tablespoons of the paint to your spray bottle. If you want a less vibrant color, however, experiment with adding less paint. Only adding one to two tablespoons of fabric paint will create a pastel shade. Give the bottle a good shake. For about 30 to 60 seconds, shake the bottle to mix the paint and water. Keep shaking until you have a uniform mixture that's one solid color. Make sure the cap is on tight before you begin shaking. You do not want to end up getting dye on your clothing or hands.

TL;DR in Russian:

Налейте воду в бутылку с пульверизатором. Добавьте краску по ткани. Энергично потрясите бутылку.


Use a staple puller or flathead screwdriver to remove the staples from the ends of the rails. Cut the old felt along the top of the rail if it does not come off immediately. Each rail has a thin wooden "featherstrip" running alongside it, which is typically not attached by any adhesive or nails. If it won't come up easily, Use a thin flathead screwdriver to pry it up without breaking it. Unlike the table top, this felt should be "face side" down. Keep an overhang of at least 4 inches (10 cm) on each end, and 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) over the feather strip  groove. Lay the featherstrip back in position, but do not press it down. Have an assistant stretch the felt tightly between the center and one end of the railing. Place a tapping block over the featherstrip, then use a hammer to gently tap the block, pushing the featherstrip down into the stretched portion of the felt, but stop about 2 inches (5 cm) from the end, where the corner pocket will be located. Stretch the other half of the felt, and repeat this process for the remaining length of the featherstrip, again stopping 2 inches (5 cm) away from the other end. Do not strike the featherstrip directly, or you may dent the table. Pull the felt at the ends of the table toward the rubber cushion, then tap in the remaining portion of the featherstrip until it is firmly in place. Trim and fold the felt as necessary to remove excess material and cover the ends of the cushion. Once all your rails are complete, bolt them to the table again. If you're having a hard time finding where the bolts should go, you can push a screwdriver through the bolt holes as guidance. Never try to cut holes in the playing surface from the top of the table, as you may cut in the wrong place.

TL;DR in Russian:

Удалите старое сукно с бортов. Мягко снимите деревянные перья. Прикрепите новую полосу сукна на борт. С помощью киянки и молотка вставьте центр пера в паз. Подтяните сукно к борту и постучите по концам пера. Прикрепите внешние борта.


Use a stiff, plain toothbrush (preferably just bristles no gum massagers or other plastic parts) to brush trapped lint out of the fastener. Lay the fastener flat, and apply pressure in short, hard strokes with the bristles from one end of the fastener to the other. Pick any lint that comes to the top of the fastener out with your fingers. Use the edge of the tape dispenser that you'd normally use to cut the tape to scrape the fastener clean. Lay the fastener flat, and use the teeth of the tape dispenser to rake it in short firm strokes from one end to the other. Pick any lint that comes to the top of the fastener out with your fingers. For lint that is deeply embedded in the hooks of the fastener, use a pair of needle-nose tweezers to pick it out. Lay the fastener flat, holding at both ends. Then, use the tips of the tweezers to tease out the debris.

TL;DR in Russian:

Воспользуйтесь жесткой зубной щеткой, чтобы почистить липучку. Соскребите загрязнения с липучки при помощи отрывного края на диспенсере скотча. Удалите глубоко застрявшие волокна при помощи остроконечного пинцета.


Use a stockpot instead of a saucepan to ensure you have enough space for even blanching. Blanching halts enzyme production. It stops the plants from ripening for several days to several weeks. It is recommended to preserve nutrient content for all leafy greens if you can’t use them within two days. Add 2 to 3 cups of ice cubes. Set your ice bath on a counter near the stove. Add your Swiss chard leaves to the water. If you have more than 4 cups of Swiss chard, do it in several batches. Remove the leaves with a slotted spoon after the timer beeps. Place it directly in the ice bath. Spin it in a salad spinner. Pat it with kitchen towels to remove extra moisture. Slice the stems into 1 inch (2.5 cm) ribs and blanch them for 3 minutes. Place them in the ice bath for 3 minutes before draining in a colander.

TL;DR in Russian:

Поставьте вскипятить воду в большой кастрюле. Наполните холодной водой большую миску. Доведите воду до кипения. Установите таймер на 2 минуты. Через 2 минуты выньте из ледяной бани. По мере необходимости, повторите то же самое со стеблями.


Use a strainer with small to medium-sized gaps. Fine gaps will allow you to separate as much of the solid from the liquid as possible, but they may make the process go slower. Medium gaps offer a nice balance between speed and quality. The bowl should have a wide enough opening to catch any liquid that falls from the strainer. If possible, select a bowl that the strainer can rest on in order to free up both hands. You should see juice running through the strainer and into the bowl. Keep pressing until you are unable to produce any more juice. Garlic pulp can be used to flavor stews, soups, stir-frys, and a number of other recipes. The filter should be secured with a rubber band so that it rests loosely over the bowl, but will not fall inside. Running the juice through a coffee filter will create an even purer product. You can also use your coffee maker, but be aware of the fact that garlic has a potent odor that may linger even after you clean your machine. As a result, any coffee you prepare in the machine afterward may have a hint of garlic flavor. If you pour too quickly, you may spill some. Continue pouring until all of the juice is strained into the bowl. Keep it in a glass bowl to prevent the odor from contaminating other foods, as well as to prevent any other flavors from contaminating the garlic juice.

TL;DR in Russian:

Переложите чесночное пюре или кашку в ситечко. Установите сито над миской. Раздавите чеснок резиновой лопаткой. Отделите твердую массу или сохраните его для будущих рецептов. Установите фильтр для кофе в стеклянную миску. Медленно процедите чесночный сок через кофейный фильтр. Храните сок в холодильнике до тех пор, пока вы не будете готовы его использовать.


Use a sturdier brush to get rid of the more obvious dirt on your goat. Next, use a soft brush (curry comb) to comb through your goat's hair. Also, feel for bumps on your goat as you brush, as those could indicate infections or a cut or scratch. Your goat will not likely need clipping unless you plan to show her. Most of the time, brushing will be sufficient for your goat. To bathe the goat, slightly warm up the water so it's not cold. Lather the goat up with a shampoo meant for animals or specifically for goats. Use a washing mitt to help along the process. Rinse off the soap. It makes it easier if your goat has a collar on because it is easier for you to hold on to her. Pygmy goats need vitamin A in their diets to keep up their health. Mostly, they can get this vitamin from green hay or from grazing. However, if you are not supplying either of these, try adding some corn to their diet. Just like in humans, vitamin D helps goats absorb calcium, which maintains bone health. If your goats are outside most of the time, they will absorb vitamin D from the sun. However, if they don't get much sunlight, feed them either sun-cured hay (not heat-cured) or irradiated yeast. If your goats are exclusively pasture-fed (rather than alfalfa- and grain-fed), you should add a mix of iodized salt, limestone (ground), and animal bones (steamed and ground). Essentially, you can put this mixture out in its own bucket and let the goats eat it as needed. Selenium is an essential nutrient, but it is especially important if white muscle disease is prevalent in your area, as selenium protects against this disease. When kids are born, you should provide a supplement of this nutrient by needle. This disease calcifies the muscles, making them whitish, which is where the disease gets its name. Your goat will need to be vaccinated against enterotoxemia and tetanus, at the very least.  You can usually buy these at local feed stores and give them yourself. You may also want to ask your vet about rabies shots. You may also want a clostridium...

Use a sturdy fabric. Cottons work well, as would corduroy, denim or heavier weight fabrics. The stronger the fabric, the longer it'll last and endure being toted about and having sharp items poked into it if you can not find stronger fabric just double it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Use a table, the floor, or any other flat surface with enough room to fold and lay the T-shirt face down. A smooth surface will make it easier for you to fold your shirt without wrinkles. Keep the shirt face down when you fold it so any logo or image on the front will be visible when it’s folded. When you’re finished folding your T-shirts, arrange them in your drawer so the collar is standing up. Stack multiple T-shirts so they support each other and stand upright in your drawer or container. Storing your shirts vertically will allow you to utilize your storage space more efficiently.

TL;DR in Russian:

Выберите футболку. Футболка готова!


Use a tape measure to determine the length, width, and depth of the canvas. Write the measurements down and keep them handy; this will help when you're shopping for a frame.  Most tape measures have markings in 1/16 increments, so pay careful attention when measuring. Being off by even 1/8 of an inch can mean buying the wrong frame size. Double check the measurements to make sure they are exact. Frames are just as varied as the canvases they hold, so select a frame based on how you want the finished product to look. Some contrast between the canvas and the frame is pleasing to the eye.  Avoid frames that are very similar in color to the canvas.  Contrast the style of the canvas with the style of the frame.  Simple paintings will look good with ornate frames, and edgy modern art will look good in plainer frames. In general, less is more. Don't choose a frame that detracts from what is on the canvas. Now that you have the canvas's measurements and know what style of frame you want, you can shop for a frame. Find one that is the same length, width, and depth of your canvas.  The standard frame sizes are 8×10, 11×14, 16×20, 18×24, 20×24, 24×30, and 30×40, but some stores will have other sizes like 10×20. If you're shopping in-store, call the store to see if they carry the size you're looking for. This will save you from making multiple trips to different stores. Keep a list of what prices stores offer. This will help you find the best deal. Shopping online for a frame is another good option. Websites will have the exact dimensions of the frames they sell online. These usually come in packs of four and can easily be found in a store or online. One pack of four is enough to frame one canvas.  Usually, the canvas clips do not require screws. The types of canvas clips that require screws come in seven sizes: 1/8, ¼, 3/8, ½, ¾, 1, 1 ¼.  Measure the frame back to the back of the stretcher bar to find out which size you need.

Use a tape measure to measure a stretch of relatively flat ground, at least 30 feet (9.1 meters) in length and preferably 40 ft (12.2 m). This will be your horseshoe court. 40 feet (12.2 m) is the longest distance used in horseshoe throwing, and the most common in tournaments, but if you're playing for fun you can use a shorter distance. If the court is mainly for children, you might want to use a court as small as 15 ft (4.6 m) long, and consider putting two stakes side by side instead of on opposite ends of the court, to lower the chance of children hitting each other with the thrown horseshoes. Use a mallet to drive two stakes into the ground, one at either end of the court. Tilt them about 12º toward each other, not straight into the ground. For a permanent horseshoe field, use long, iron rods, about 36 inches (91 centimeters) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Otherwise, use any long stakes, ideally ones that extend about 15 inches (38 cm) above the ground after they're planted. 12º is a tilt approximately 1/8 of the way from vertical to horizontal. You can skip this step and start playing immediately, or use these common methods to improve the stability and permanence of your court. If you want to minimize the number of slipping and bouncing horseshoes, you can dig a small pit of moist sand or moist blue clay around each stake. To keep the stakes firmly in position, bury a wooden log below the surface and drill an angled hole for the stake. Typically, the game is played by two players or two teams, with one side standing at each stake and throwing at the other. In tournament play, adult men throw from behind a line drawn 37 ft (11.3 m) from the target stake, while women, people 18 and under, and people 70 and older may choose to throw from 27 ft (8.2 m) instead. If you're playing for fun, however, feel free to draw the lines as close as you need to so the players have a decent chance to throw a horseshoe near the target. Horseshoes are heavy and dangerous when thrown. Before throwing, always make...

TL;DR in Russian:

Найдите длинную площадь с плоской поверхностью. Вбейте два колышка в землю. Улучшите поле (по желанию). Выберите для себя позицию. Освободите область вокруг цели (колышка). Первый игрок бросает 2 подковы. Второй игрок метает подковы в противоположный колышек. Следите за счетом.


Use a tape measure to measure around your forehead, above your ears where the hat will fit. Then add an inch to this measurement so that the hat won’t be too tight. You may prefer the style of a shorter brimmed chef’s hat, or like how a stiffer, taller chef’s hat looks. Approximate how tall you would like the brim of the hat to be, picking a number between 2 and 8 inches (5 and 20.3 cm). Then multiply this number by two and add on one inch (2.54 cm). You will create the brim out of a piece of cloth that has been folded over, which is why you need to multiply the number by two. You need to add the inch on to the measurement to allow for seams. Measure a rectangle onto a white pillowcase or another similar material, with the first measurement you calculated as the length, and the second measurement as the width. Then cut out the rectangle you created. You want to create your hat out of a white cloth that is light and crisp. Cotton is an ideal fabric, and using two white cotton pillowcases works well. Before using the pillowcases, cut them open, rip out any seams, and iron them so that they’re flat sheets of white cloth. Outline a rectangle onto a piece of stiffener or interfacing. The length of the rectangle will be the first measurement you calculated (the circumference of your head plus an inch) and the width will be the exact height you want your hat brim to be (do not multiply this number by two or add on an inch as you did for the fabric). Cut out the rectangle using a pair of sharp scissors. Use a piece of stiffener or interfacing that is white or light-colored. Take the second pillowcase and cut it into a square that is about 2 ft x 2 ft (.6 m x .6m). Then fold the square into fourths by folding it in half twice. Using a pencil or pen, draw a curve that starts an inch (2.54 cm) from the top right corner and arcs down to a spot that is one inch (2.54 cm) to the right of the bottom left hand corner.  This arc is one fourth of the circle with will serve as the top, floppy section of the chef’s hat. This...

Use a tape measure to measure the dimensions of your room (length and width). On a piece of graphing paper, draw a scale image of room where 3 grid squares = 4 inches or 1/3rd of a foot.  Include in your floor plan the location and size of doors, windows, closets, fireplaces, etc. Make scale drawings of furniture on a separate piece of paper. Measure the length and width of any large pieces of furniture (e.g. bed, dresser, couch). Cut these out and rearrange them in your drawing to see how much space you have to work with. Carry this plan and furniture cut-outs with you if go shopping or "dumpster diving", so you know if you have enough space for something before bringing it home. In a search engine such as Google or Bing, type in "easy bedroom decorating ideas" or "cheap bedroom diy".  Before starting a project you find online, write-out the instructions and compile a list of materials, including tools. Gather together any tools or materials you need before beginning your project. Create more space and reorganize by getting rid of anything that is unnecessary or outdated.  Clean out and organize your closet, under your bed, and other places in your room where stuff has accumulated. Donate any furniture, clothing, or electronics that are in good condition. A good rule of thumb is to donate or throw out anything you haven't worn or used in the past year. Create more space in your bedroom by moving your bed against the wall or place a comfortable chair next to the window to make a comfy reading nook.  You want everything currently in your bedroom to fit comfortably before adding anything new, especially if you have a small bedroom.  Add a bed skirt so you can store things under your bed without them being seen. Switch-out a bedside table with one that has drawers for storage or several shelves to hold books. Create additional space by installing extra shelving in your closet or purchasing a combination of plastic and decorative storage bins.  Attach hooks or shoe bags to the back of doors. Use the vertical...

TL;DR in Russian:

Сделайте двухмерный план своей комнаты и мебели в ней. Составьте список дизайнерских идей. Очистите вашу комнату. Переставьте или добавьте мебель. Максимально увеличьте пространство для хранения вещей в вашей спальне. Перестройте свою спальню по принципам фен-шуя. Создайте более расслабляющую атмосферу.


Use a tape measure, yardstick, or meter stick to measure the length and width of your room. Also account for the dimensions of any alcoves or other recessed spaces in the room. You can use formal grid paper, but you can also sketch it out on notebook paper or plain printer paper. Determine how much space you can spare for furniture and sketch out a few different ways that furniture can fit into the room. You should also factor in at least one yard (1 meter) of free space in between pieces of furniture. Anything smaller than that will make you feel as though you have to squeeze in between your furniture as you walk. Measure how wide your doorways are to prevent potential delivery mishaps. You do not want to purchase a piece of furniture only to discover that you cannot get it into your house. After determining how much space you can spare for furniture and where you want potential pieces to go, mark those spaces on the floor to get a better visual. Use painter's tape or spread out sheets of newspaper. If your living room will act as a daily family hangout, you will need sturdy, stain-resistant furniture, especially if your kids are still young. On the other hand, if your living room will only entertain the occasional guest, you can opt for more fragile pieces made with delicate fabrics. Some rooms contain built-in design elements that may help you determine the type of furniture that will look best inside the room. For instance, if you have a rustic fireplace, cabin décor may be a better option than stark modern furniture. Modern furniture may be the best option for a living room of an apartment with a view overlooking the city, however.

TL;DR in Russian:

Измерьте комнату. Подготовьте архитектурный план. Проверьте дверные проемы. Спроектируйте расположение в комнате. Подумайте, как будет использоваться комната. Обратите внимание на архитектурные особенности комнаты.


Use a thermometer to test the temperature. You want the mash to cool down but still be considerably warm for the yeast to do its job. Add the yeast to the top of the mash and close the lid on the fermenter. For about four to five minutes, carefully pitch the fermenter at an angle, slowly moving back and forth, to agitate the yeast. An airlock is an essential tool for fermentation. It allows the CO2 to escape but no air to get into the mash. Air getting into mash would minimize the effect that yeast otherwise has. You can make an airlock yourself quite easily, but buying one is cheap. It's possible to get one for under a couple of bucks. The fermentation process will take anywhere from 5 to 10 days, depending on the yeast, the temperature, and how much grain you're using.Use a hydrometer to tell when the primary fermentation is complete. If the reading on the hydrometer is the same for two to three consecutive days, you're ready to begin distillation. Try to keep the mash at a steady 77° F (25° C) while it's fermenting. Again, you need enough heat for the yeast to activate and consume the starch. If choosing to strain the mash, use a clean pillowcase. Try to keep as much of the solids as possible away from the still when transferring the mash.

TL;DR in Russian:

Дайте пюре остыть до +30 º C. Добавьте дрожжи. Откройте воздушный затвор на бродильном аппарате. Брожение сусла должно происходить в относительно теплой среде. Когда пюре завершает брожение, процедите или очистите сусло.


Use a tiny dab of serum to smooth down any fly-aways or frizz. Concentrate on the ends of your hair, since they tend to dry out the fastest. Make sure you use the product sparingly – your hair can end up looking greasy if you use too much, which is not quite the look you’re going for! After applying the serum, wait a few minutes before moving on. This will give your hair time to cool down completely. Once your hair has cooled down, lightly mist a hairspray or finishing spray over your entire head to set the hairstyle. Another technique: spray the product onto the bristles of your flat paddle brush and then gently brush your hair with it. This can help to prevent any stickiness that the product could potentially cause. If you hear any sizzling when you spray on the product, this means your hair hasn’t cooled down sufficiently. The sizzle sound means you are causing damage to your hair, so set down your spray bottle and wait a couple of minutes for your hair to cool down some more. Your hair’s texture and length, as well as the climate where you live, will play a role in how your straight style holds up throughout the day. Think about using an anti-humidity (or anti-frizz) cream or spray if you live in a particularly humid area. Try styling cream if your hair is short and needs a little more weight to keep the curls from springing back up. The cream will lightly weigh the hair down and prevent this from occurring. Don’t be afraid to try something new; if it doesn’t work, you know you’re one step closer to finding a product that does! Experiment with a shine spray product, which will specifically add shine to your hair, but use it sparingly. These are often silicone-based products and will need a special shampoo to remove the residue. This process can definitely be time-consuming, so aim to do it every other day or every three days. Rock the always-fashionable shower cap in the shower to protect those silky straight strands from the water. In between washings, touch up your limp roots and remove oil with a dry...

Use a twig (preferably from the same host plant) or similar object. Handle them very gently because they can die if dropped even from a short distance.  Don't pick it up with your hands, for three reasons: it'll make it more difficult to put them in their new home (they cling tightly to surfaces they're walking on, and scraping them off your hand can hurt them); bacteria on your hands can give them infections; and some caterpillars are poisonous (see Warnings). Place the stick with the caterpillar on it in the container. The stick is important, as it will provide the resting place for the chrysalis. Cut a small branch with some leaves. More than likely, it is the host plant (caterpillar's food). Be sure you know the caterpillar's preferred food before trying to feed it. Some caterpillars, like the Monarch Caterpillar will only eat one kind of plant  (Milkweed).  Other caterpillars will eat a from a variety of plants.  However, they will starve to death before eating a strange food. If you're not sure, however, consult a field guide and go out and get leaves from its host plant; even caterpillars like choices. Inspect it for insects and spiders before putting it into the container, because these insects can injure and kill a caterpillar. Be sure to replace the leaves daily, because caterpillars won't feed on old or dry leaves. To keep the food even fresher, put it in floral tubes (available for very cheap at most florist shops) with water. Don't use a dish, jar or vase to hold the food, however, because caterpillars can fall in them and drown. If the caterpillar is on the food you're trying to replace, don't try to pull it off because they cling tightly and their legs could rip. Instead, put in the new branch, let them make their way to it themselves, and then take out the old branch. Place it in a hidden, sheltered area that is protected from intense heat or cold and away from pets or humans who might disturb the gestation. If you live in a dry environment, it may be wise to mist the cage occasionally, since...

Подденьте гусеницу веточкой. Вернитесь к дереву или кусту, где вы нашли гусеницу. Сложите листья в контейнер. Держите контейнер снаружи.


Use a unique skill or ability that you already possess and make it appear more impressive. Maybe you have great drumming skills, a stellar singing voice, or the ability to make complicated balloon animals. You can then take your ability to the next level by adding in a surprising or interesting element.  Think of creative ways to impress the judges with your talent and show them how well you can do the talent even in less than ideal circumstances.  You may want to enlist friends to perform with you and create an act where you all drum together on stage. Or you may ask friends who can play instruments to be your backing band for your singing performance. You can then create synchronized movements as a band that you perform together during the act. If you have a more specialized talent, like making balloon animals or juggling, you may want to add in an element of difficulty that will appear impressive to the judges. This could be making a huge balloon animal within a certain time limit or making balloon animals while riding a unicycle or running on a treadmill. When you are creating your act, you should showcase your strengths as a performer. This will help you feel more comfortable when you perform and more confident. You will also be at your best when you are catering to your strengths, as this can help to hide your weaknesses as a performer.  If you are more comfortable in costume when performing in front of others, come up with a unique costume that ties into your act. Maybe you wear an updated clown costume for your juggling act or a long, glamorous gown for your jazz singing performance with a band. Think about how you can use costume as a way to feel comfortable and confident on stage. You may be at ease when you move and dance around the stage, as opposed to staying in one place. Integrate this into your act, where you do a coordinated dance with the other people in your act or do a dance to fit your act if you are on stage alone. Stage props can be as simple as a microphone stand or as complex as...

TL;DR in Russian:

Используйте талант или уникальную способность и станьте еще лучше. Подстройтесь под свои сильные качества. Используйте сценический реквизит. Задействуйте зрителей.


Use a vegetable brush to scrub the potato skins thoroughly to remove any dirt. Since you won't be peeling the potatoes, it's important to get the jackets clean. Dry the potatoes thoroughly. Make 8 to 12 holes all over the potatoes. This will allow moisture to escape during the cooking process. If you skip this step, they may burst in the microwave. Rub the jackets with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. This will bring out the flavor of the skins. You can skip this step if you don't like to eat the jackets. Place them all in a single layer. The top half of the potatoes will cook and grow soft. After three minutes, poke the potatoes to see if they're done. If they're still stiff in the middle, microwave in one-minute increments until they're completely soft. Slit each one in half lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the potatoes. Top with butter, salt and pepper, cheese, and any other ingredients that pair well with potatoes.

TL;DR in Russian:

Очистите картофель. Проколите картофель вилкой. Приправьте кожуру. Положите картофель в тарелку для микроволновой печи. Готовьте в микроволновой печи в течение 5 минут. Переверните картофель и готовьте еще 3 минуты. Подавайте.


Use a vegetable brush to scrub the potato skins thoroughly to remove any dirt. Since you won't be peeling the potatoes, it's important to get the jackets clean. Dry the potatoes thoroughly. Make 8 to 12 holes all over the potatoes. This will allow moisture to escape during the cooking process. Rub the jackets with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. You can skip this step if you don't like to eat the jackets. This protects the potatoes from overcooking in the slow cooker. (Note: next time you go camping, follow this method and place foil-wrapped potatoes on the embers of your campfire. If you keep the embers hot, you'll have delicious jacket potatoes in two or three hours' time.) You can start cooking your potatoes before work and come home to perfectly cooked jacket potatoes. Remove the foil and slice the potatoes lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the potatoes. Top the potatoes with butter, salt, and any other toppings or seasonings you like.

Очистите картофель. Проколите картофель вилкой. Приправьте кожуру. Заверните картофель в фольгу. Готовьте картофель на самом низком уровне от 8 до 10 часов. Подавайте.


Use a vegetable brush to scrub the potato skins thoroughly to remove any dirt. Since you won't be peeling the potatoes, it's important to get the jackets clean. If you want the jackets to have a crispy skin, make sure the potatoes are completely dry before baking. Make 8 to 12 holes all over the potatoes. This will allow moisture to escape during the cooking process. Rub the jackets with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt. This will bring out the flavor of the skins. You can skip this step if you don't like to eat the jackets. Place the potatoes directly on the center rack of the oven and let them bake for about 1 3/4 hours to 2 hours, depending on the size. The potatoes are ready when the skin is crispy and the interiors are soft when poked with a fork.  You may want to place a baking sheet under the potatoes on your oven's lower rack to catch any drippings. If you prefer soft jackets, wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil and poke holes in the foil before placing them on the rack to start baking. Slit each potato in half lengthways. Use a fork to fluff the insides. Add your favorite toppings, like a generous knob of butter, a scoop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chives. Serve immediately.  Jacket potatoes are excellent as a side dish or an entire meal. To make your potatoes into a meal, top with chili (either meat or vegetarian) or roasted vegetables. For a delicious twist, try jacket potatoes with smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разогрейте духовку до 190ºC. Очистите картофель. Тщательно высушите картофель. Проколите картофель вилкой. Приправьте кожуру. Запеките. Подавайте.


Use a vegetable brush to scrub the skins, then pat them dry with a towel. Any type of apples will work, but Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold apples are all great whole roasting apples. Their flesh bakes into a soft, smooth treat you can scoop with a spoon. Use either an apple corer or a paring knife to remove the cores and hollow out the apples. Don't cut all the way through, though. Keep the bottoms intact, since you're going to fill the apples with the remaining ingredients.  If you're using a paring knife, make four deep slices around the stem of the apples. Use a spoon to scoop out the core and seeds. If you accidentally cut through the bottom of an apple, simply reinsert the bottom piece to block the bottom of the hole. Evenly distribute the brown sugar and cinnamon among the four apples. Use a spoon to fill up the center of the apples with the mixture. If desired, add a pinch of salt and a squirt of lemon juice to each one. Evenly distribute the butter cubes among the four apples. Drop the cubes directly into the holes so that they rest on top of the sugar mixture. Pour the hot water into the bottom of a baking dish. This will help the apples roast evenly. Arrange the apples so that they're standing upright in the baking dish. Check the apples with a fork. When they are ready they should be tender, but not mushy. Remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Each apple makes a single dessert for one person. Serve the apples with ice cream or whipped cream.

TL;DR in Russian:

Разогрейте духовку до 190 градусов Цельсия. Вымойте яблоки. Вырежьте сердцевину яблок, не доходя при этом 1 сантиметр до противоположной стороны. После этого необходимо наполнить середину яблок коричневым сахаром и корицей. Поверх начинки положите масло. Подготовьте яблоки. Запекайте яблоки в течение 35 минут. Подавайте яблоки к столу.


Use a vegetable peeler to shave off the peel and a sharp knife to cut the squash into 1-inch (2.5-cm) slices.  Cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top and bottom of the squash. Discard pieces.     Use a serrated vegetable peeler to remove the thick skin until you reveal the orange flesh beneath.     Use a metal spoon or melon-baller to scoop out the seeds and fibers inside.     Make width-wise slices, cutting from side to side, that are each about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.    Drizzle the oil over the baking sheet and directly over the slices.  Olive oil works well, but you can also use walnut oil or other types of vegetable oil. Drizzle half of the olive oil over the baking sheet. Dredge each slice in the oil, turning it over so that both sides get covered.     Drizzle the remaining oil directly over each slice.     If desired, you can also spray the slices with cooking spray.    The amount of salt you use is a matter of personal taste, but start with anywhere from 1/2 to 1 tsp (2.5 to 5 ml) for the entire batch if you are uncertain. The slices should begin to turn a slight golden brown around the edges. Flip each slice and sprinkle with additional salt. Continue baking for 15 more minutes. Use tongs to flip the slices since they will be too hot to handle with your bare hands.    If your broiler has multiple settings, switch it to the low setting. The squash should begin to turn dark brown in some places. Monitor the squash closely. If some portions cook faster than others, remove them first. After pulling the charbroiled slices out of the oven, let cool for 5 minutes or so and serve warm.

Use a veterinarian familiar with guinea pigs, and not just your regular cat and dog vet.  Emergency phone number for the vet. Post the number on a piece of paper next to the guinea pig’s hutch/cage. If you need it, you don’t want to have to hunt around for it.  Phone number for the out-of-hours vet. If there is not an out-of-hours vet in your area, discuss this with your vet to come up with a plan. They may be willing to attend themselves, or you may have to contact an experienced breeder.  Critical Care or a similar product as it is likely you will need it for at least one pup. A clean towel. Even if your vet has given you a due date, she may give birth several days either side of this. You may notice a slight widening of the pelvic bones in the sow, this indicates that she will probably birth within the next week. It is a lot safer if someone oversees the birth. Ideally, check on her every 2-3 hours. Whilst most births occur during the day they can happen at night so check on the sow during the night as well. If you cannot check on the sow because of work etc. ask a friend or neighbour to check on her. A local breeder may also be willing to help. Both of these are fatal without treatment so be on constant look out for: loss of appetite, changes to drinking levels, drowsiness or weakness and more obvious signs of illness such as muscle spasms or drooling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Убедитесь, что у вас есть все необходимое для родов. Имейте в виду, что невероятно трудно сказать, когда свинка родит. Начиная с 60 дня, осматривайте свиноматку несколько раз в день. В последние 7-10 дней перед родами очень распространены токсикоз и дефицит кальция.


Use a warm, moist, towel placed against your face to help relieve the pressure and get the mucus and air moving again. Try alternating between hot and cold compresses. To do this, place a hot towel across the sinus areas on your face for 3 minutes. Switch to a cold damp cloth or towel for 30 seconds, then return to the hot towel. Repeat this procedure, alternating between hot and cold, for 3 cycles. Repeat the treatment about 4 times a day. Drinking fluids keeps your mucus from getting thick and blocking your sinuses. Drinking something warm, like a cup of hot soup or hot tea, can help to relieve the congestion and pressure. Plus, drinking fluids can help to counteract any dryness that may be caused by over-the-counter decongestants. Some people find it useful to eat spicy foods, like chili peppers, to help reduce the discomfort associated with sinus pressure. Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapples, and quercetin is a plant pigment. They may help relieve inflammation, swelling, and other symptoms of sinusitis. However, because they can interact with certain medications, you should always consult with your doctor before starting these or any other herbal treatment to ensure that they are safe for you.  Bromelain may increase your risk of bleeding, so people who take blood-thinning drugs may not be able to use it. Bromelain can cause a larger drop in blood pressure when used with ACE inhibitors. Quercetin may interact with some medications, including antibiotics. Several studies suggest that Sinupret (also known as BNO-101)--a proprietary formula that contains several herbs including European elder, common sorrel, cowslip, European vervain, and gentian--significantly reduces symptoms of sinusitis. Talk with your doctor to see if this herbal treatment is appropriate for you. Get plenty of rest and position yourself so that you can breathe. This may mean sleeping on your side, if that allows your nasal passages to open. You may benefit from sleeping in a more upright, or propped-up, position that allows...

TL;DR in Russian:

Делайте теплые компрессы на область лица. Пейте как можно больше жидкости. Ешьте острую пищу. Узнайте у своего врача о бромелайне и кверцетине. Спросите у врача о препарате «Синупрет». Спите в удобном положении. Надавливайте на определенные точки на лице. Избегайте раздражающих факторов.


Use a well finished medium-density fiberboard for the doors. The size of the pieces will depend on the chosen height of your chicken coop. Each door should be as tall and half as wide as the door opening. Screw a 2x2 along each side of each door opening, as well as along the tops. This will give you a sturdy place to screw the door hinges. Screw in two hinges per door—one about four inches from the top of the door and the other about four inches from the bottom. Note that you may need a third hinge directly in the middle, depending on how tall your chicken coop is. You can use the same measurements for the back of the coop as you did for the front, but remember to take new measurements for the doors on the side of the coop. Brass hook catches are an inexpensive, efficient closure to use, but any type of closure will work, so long as it is not easily opened by common predators such as dogs or skunks.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вырезаем дерево. Устанавливаем дверную раму. Прикрепляем передние двери. Повторите эту процедуру для двух других отверстий. Добавляем защелки.


Use a whisk to begin stirring the shavings immediately. They will melt and combine with the water to form a liquidy mixture. Continue whisking until the chocolate is entirely melted. Turn off the stove and carefully pour the chocolate into the bowl that's sitting inside the bowl of ice. The second you pour the chocolate into the bowl, start whisking it quickly. This will prevent the chocolate from clumping up. As you whisk, you'll see the texture of the chocolate change from liquid to a pudding-like texture. After about 3 minutes of whisking, it will become the texture of mousse. Do not stop whisking the mousse. This will cause the chocolate to seize up, and it won't regain the proper texture.    This rich, delicious mousse should be served in small quantities. Add a dollop of whipped cream to the top as a contrast to the deep chocolate flavor.

TL;DR in Russian:

Добавьте в кастрюлю тертый шоколад. Налейте шоколад в маленькую миску, покрытую льдом. Энергично взбейте шоколад. Переложите мусс в креманки для подачи. Готово.


Use a wide-toothed metal comb. Start at the back of your cat's head and work your way to the tail. Pay attention to the armpits and the belly, where hair gets tangled easily. Move the comb with the grain of the hair. Use quick, yet gentle, strokes. This will remove excess fur and help you to detect matting. Use caution if you decide to comb against the grain. It might help to remove the undercoat more efficiently, but it can also cause your cat great discomfort. Do this only if they don't seem to mind it. Otherwise, comb only with the grain. Use a fine-toothed metal comb. Comb with the grain of the hair. Be careful to avoid your cat's eyes, nose, and ears. Avoid nylon combs, which can generate static electricity and literally shock your cat. Avoid pulling on tangled hair. If you find a mat, start combing in downward strokes at the bottom. Gradually work your way up as you detangle the area beneath it. If the metal comb doesn't work, try using a mat splitter, which you can buy in any pet supply store. Use a brush with steel bristles to thin out the undercoat, which leaves the topcoat healthy. Start at the head and gradually move toward the tail. Move with the grain of the fur. Keep brushing your cat until the undercoat is gone. Usually you can figure this out by how much fur is on brush.  Check the brush after a few strokes. Remove the hair from the bristles and continue brushing. Keep doing this until you pick up little to no hair. When there is hardly any fur on the brush, the undercoat is removed. Remove the undercoat every three weeks. As you brush the fur, check for any unusual lumps, growths, scabs, rashes, or flaky patches. If you find one, visit your vet to have it checked out. You'll need this for brushing around your cat's eyes. Sometimes Persians get a buildup of eye secretions that can affect their field of vision. A toothbrush with soft bristles will allow you to sweep away the buildup without harming your cat's eyelids. Use quick, gentle strokes. Brush away from the eyes. Persians often get feces...

TL;DR in Russian:

Use a wire brush to scrub the grill clean to remove old food particles that have been burned on. Once you've removed the larger pieces, go over each part of the grill with a grill brush and give the grill a good scrubbing. Empty out old ashes from the bottom of the bowl. When you're finished cleaning the grill, remove it from the braai and set it aside so you can light the fire. Stuff the bottom of the chimney starter with a piece of newspaper. Fill the chimney starter with as much wood or charcoal as you can fit. A braai needs a good, hot, large fire, so you need to start with a lot of fuel. When the chimney starter is full, use a barbecue lighter to light the newspaper in the bottom of the starter. Light it in multiple places around the starter.  Once the fire is started, it will begin to spread and the charcoal or wood will burn down. Continue burning the fire in the chimney starter until the wood turns to embers or the charcoal turns gray. When the wood or charcoal is ready, pour the embers into the bowl and spread them out evenly with charcoal tongs. This will ensure that there aren't any cool spots, and that the steak cooks evenly on the grill. Concentrate the coals in the center of the bowl so the heat will be directly below where the steak is cooking. Carefully place the grill back into the bowl of the barbecue. If your grill has multiple racks, place the grill on the lowest one, nearest to the fire. Let the grill sit over the coals for 10 to 20 minutes to preheat. This will ensure the steak starts cooking as soon as you lay it on the grill.  Ideally, you want the grill to be 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) from the bed of embers.  When the grill is good and hot, use the wire brush again to give it a final scrub.

TL;DR in Russian:

Почистите гриль. Разожгите огонь. Разгребите угли. Разогрейте гриль.


Use a wooden drying rack or another type of rack to hang the sausages up to dry. Drape them over the rack at every other twist so that the links hang down but don't touch. Let them dry for an hour and a half. Sterilize a needle by heating it over a flame, and use it to prick each sausage where you see an air bubble. This lets out any air that is trapped inside and flattens the casing against the meat. Place the sausages in a container in the refrigerator overnight so that the flavors continue to meld. After eight or so hours, the sausages are ready to eat. Cook them within one week, or freeze them for up to several months before eating.

TL;DR in Russian:

Use a yoga or gymnastics mat or a mattress, or clear an area on a soft carpet or rug. Make sure your area is clear of any tripping hazards, such as small objects.

TL;DR in Russian:

Use almost any cylindrical object with a circular base, like a bottle or a soup can. Try using a circular roll of tape or a CD. If you are going to substitute the arc of this object for the arc of a compass tracer, you'll need to choose an object of the right size. In this method, each side of the equilateral triangle will be as long as the radius (half the diameter) of the circular object. If you use a CD as your object: imagine an equilateral triangle that fits into the top-right quadrant of a CD. It should be exactly as long as the radius of the circular object – the distance halfway across. Make sure that it is perfectly straight!  If you have a ruler: simply measure the diameter of the object and draw a line that is half as long. If you don't have a ruler: place the circular object onto a sheet of paper, then carefully trace the circumference with your pencil. Remove the object, and you should have a perfect circle. Use a straight edge to draw a line across the exact center of the circle: the point that is completely equidistant from any point around the circumference of the circle. Place the object over the line segment, with the edge of the circle resting at one end of the line. For accuracy, make sure that the line cleaves through the exact center of the circle. Use your pencil to trace an arc: roughly one-quarter of the way around the perimeter of the circle. Now, shift the circular object so that the edge touches the other end of the line segment. Make sure that the line segment runs through the exact center of the circle. Draw another quarter-arc that crosses the first arc at a point directly above the line segment. This point is the apex of your triangle. Draw the remaining sides of the triangle: two more straight lines will connect the apex with the two open ends of the line segment. Now, you should have a perfectly equilateral triangle!

TL;DR in Russian:

Use an Ethernet cable to connect to the WAN port of a router to the WAN/Internet port of the high-speed modem. For the purpose of this wikiHow, we will refer to the router that’s connected to the modem as “Router 1."   Some routers act as a high-speed modem and router. If this is the case for Router 1, simply connect it to the cable that carries your internet connection. The WAN port may be labeled “Internet.” Use an Ethernet cable to connect from one of Router 1’s LAN ports to a computer’s Ethernet port. You can also connect to the router wirelessly using the wi-fi name and passkey. Allow a few moments for them both to boot up. You’ll need a web browser to connect to the admin user interface of Router 1. Type the IP address for Router 1 into the address bar at the top of your web browser. This opens the router's admin login screen. Check the user's manual or manufacturer's website to find the default IP address for Router 1.  Here are some default IP addresses for common router brands:  2Wire: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.254, 10.0.0.138 Apple: 10.0.0.1 Belkin: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.1.1.1 Dlink: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.101, 192.168.0.30, 192.168.0.50, 192.168.15.1, 192.168.254.254, 192.168.1.254, 192.168.0.10, 192.168.15.1, 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.1.1.1, 10.90.90.90, Netgear: 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.227 This opens Router 1's admin user interface. Check the user's manual, or the manufacturer's website to find the default username and password for the Router 1.  Most router's use "admin" as the username and password. You can also try "Password" or "12345678" as the password. For some router's, the username or password is left blank.   If you’re using the right password but still can’t connect, check the user's manual or manufacturer's website to learn how to reset the router's to it's factory settings. This will allow Router 1 to assign all of the IP addresses in your network.  You can usually find these settings under “Network settings,” or “LAN settings.” The admin user...
