article: A balanced meal consists of 1/2 a plate of vegetables, 1/4 a plate of lean protein, and 1/4 of a plate of high quality carbs. If you are eating a high calorie meal and are trying to lose weight, consider using a smaller plate to trick yourself into feeling as though you are eating more! You don't want to get bogged down measuring everything you eat. However, if you have a weakness for certain high-calorie foods like pasta, use a measuring cup to determine portion sizes. Since measuring cups will not always be handy, learn shortcuts for estimating portion sizes. A balled up fist approximates one cup. When you look at your open palm, the portion of hand (except your fingers and thumb) is a good estimate of one protein portion. Don't leave pots of food sitting on the table or nearby counter when eating. After you dish out appropriate portions, put excess food away to avoid eating multiple, unnecessary courses. As a reminder, place storage containers on the counter before you finish preparing meals. Distractions promote overeating, so don't eat in front of a television or while rushing around in your car. Instead, sit down at a table, focus on your food, and savor every bite! Eating slowly gives your brain the chance to register feeling full. You often need much less food than you realize. Take small bites to pace yourself. Put your fork or spoon down in between bites. You don't need an entire piece of cake or a whole scoop of ice cream. Share with friends or family to reduce portion size. If you're alone, share with your future self and put at least half of the desert away before you're done! Don't just open a bag of chips and reach in. Instead, portion snacks by pouring them into small, plastic bags or bento box-style food containers. Better yet, whole foods like carrots and apples make great snacks because it's easy to determine how much you're consuming.

Have gold, silver, or platinum rings cut off with a steel cutter. Get a titanium ring cut off with a diamond blade cutter. Have a tungsten, ceramic, or stone ring removed with a ring cracker."
article: If you've tried at-home methods and you just can't get your ring to slide off, go to a jeweler. Most professional jewelers are experienced at removing stubborn rings. Depending on what the ring is made of, the jeweler may be able to repair and adjust the ring once it's cut off. Many jewelers will remove a stuck ring free of charge or for a low fee. The cost of ring removal may depend on how difficult it is to cut through the ring. If the ring is cutting off blood flow to your finger and causing serious swelling, this can cause permanent damage to your hand. This is more likely to happen if you've had some kind of trauma or injury to your hand. In these situations, it's crucial to get the ring removed by a medical professional as soon as possible. Some rings are more difficult to cut than others. The best tool for the job will depend on your ring's band width, thickness, and composition. If you know what your ring is made of, you can save the professional who will be cutting it off some time and trouble by telling them. These traditional ring metals are fairly soft and easy to cut. Typically, a silver, gold, or platinum ring can be repaired after being cut. The best tool for removing these rings is a high-speed steel ring cutter. A jeweler's ring cutter is a small circular saw tool that resembles a can opener. A finger guard slides between the ring and your finger to protect your skin from the saw blade. Ring cutters can be either manual (hand-cranked) or electric. If you plan to save the ring and have it repaired, ask to have it cut in just one place. You may need 2 people to spread the ring apart with a pair of heavy-duty paperclips once the cut is made. Titanium is much tougher than silver, gold, or platinum. Cutting it requires a harder blade. Diamond blade ring cutters are your best bet for removing most titanium rings. It may take 2-3 minutes to cut through a titanium ring with an electric diamond blade cutter. It is not always possible to cut a titanium ring with a manual ring cutter, especially if the ring is thick. The blade will need to be lubricated with water while cutting to prevent overheating. If no power cutter is available, bolt cutters may be used in an emergency. However, bolt cutters are more dangerous than ring cutters, and may not work on titanium rings that are more than 5-6 mm (about inch) wide. If your ring is made of one of these heavy-duty, hard-to-cut materials, the best option is to crush or crack the ring instead of cutting it. This can be done with a vice grip, locking pliers, or a specially designed ring cracker tool. A ring can be cracked by slipping the tool over the outside of the band and gradually tightening it in small increments. While this method sounds alarming, it is quick, safe, and painless when done properly. It typically takes about 30 seconds, and the ring will give before your finger experiences any pressure.

This step only applies to single-action revolvers where you must manually pull the hammer back to cock the gun before you can fire. With your hands still on the grip, use your thumb to pull the hammer back until the second click. The first click is only the half-cocked stage used for loading the revolver. Make sure the revolver is already pointed downrange at your target before even touching the hammer. You do not want an accident discharge going in any direction but down the shooting range. There are normally two sights on a firearm. A front sight and a rear sight. The front sight is a small, fixed "blade" and the rear sight looks like a valley or a notch. To aim the revolver, place the front blade on the target, and then place the front blade in between the "valley" back sights. The front sight alone ensures that you don't hit to the left of right of the target, and making sure that the rear sight is also in alignment ensures that you do not hit above or below the target. Once you line up the target, you may be tempted to shift your focus back on the target and away from the sights, but even small movements will have an effect on your aim. Keep your focus on the front sight even if it means the target beyond it is a tiny bit unfocused. With your grip right and the revolver pointed downrange toward the target, you can now place your dominant index finger inside the trigger guard. Touch the trigger but no not place any pressure on it. You want to use the pad of your index finger and not the crease of the first knuckle. Aiming any gun can be a slow, precise process, especially for people new to marksmanship. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to try to hold their breath as they aim and shoot. Keep breathing and stay aware of your breathing. You ideally want to squeeze the trigger at the natural pause between the end of your exhalation and the beginning of your next inhalation. You do not want to jerk your finger back on the trigger because this will surely mess up your precision aiming. Instead, gently squeeze the trigger with the pad of your index finger while keeping the rest of your grip steady and your focus on aiming. Don't panic about the recoil of the revolver as you squeeze. Your solid, firm grip on the gun handle and your arm strength will cushion most of the recoil. Tensing up as you know the gun is about to fire is a sure way to mess up your aim as the revolver shoots. With the proper grip on the revolver, the recoil will push slightly more back than up. Keep your wrists locked and forearms tensed, as you had them for your shooting stance, and you will naturally absorb most of the recoil. However, you will definitely still need to take aim again before firing another round.
