INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't take yourself seriously and look like a mess, why should other people take you seriously? Wear clothes that fit you, not ones that are too tight or too baggy. The best choice for cheer clothes are soft shorts and a T-shirt or tank top. Wear your hair up - ponytails are ideal. Not only does it look pretty, but it also keeps the hair out of your face while cheering. Never wear jewelry! It can get caught, snagged or ripped, and that hurts. Don't be afraid to yell! However, don't start screaming. You will stand out to the coach if they can hear you over everyone else. Remember to shout loudly and say the words clearly. If you don't make it the first time, keep practicing and trying. If you do make it, then don't think, "Gee, I'm the best." Obviously you have skill if you've made the team, but no one (including the coaches) will want to deal with that kind of attitude, and it can affect you next tryout season. ! Always have a positive attitude! Always believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself, you will succeed! Ask someone who's been on the team in previous years, preferably Varsity cheerleaders with more experience.

SUMMARY: Pay attention to your appearance. Be loud! Have confidence. Be Positive Don't let your personal life interfere. Never, ever give up! If you want to work on one specific skill, take private lessons. Befriend a former cheerleader.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make a cup of cake flour substitute, start with 2 tbsp (20 g) of cornstarch. Measure this ingredient out precisely with a measuring spoon and place the cornstarch in a 1 cup measuring cup. The cornstarch will help mimic the lightness of cake flour, which is perfect for light, fluffy cakes that still need structure, such as chiffon or angel food cake. Use a spoon to transfer flour into the measuring cup, over top of the cornstarch. Keeping adding flour until the 1 cup measurement is full, then level the top off with the flat edge of a knife. This method helps prevent packing and gives you a more precise measurement. Avoid the "digging" technique when measuring flour. Digging the cup into a bag of flour can pack extra flour into the measuring cup, which makes the cake denser. Dump the measuring cup's contents into a mixing bowl, then use a whisk or spoon to combine the flour and cornstarch. Mix well until the 2 ingredients are combined. Place a strainer or sifter on top of another bowl that's about the same size as the first. Pour the flour and cornstarch mixture through, shaking and tapping the sides of the strainer or sifter until the mixture has fully sifted through. Sifting will combine and aerate the flour mixture, which will help make the cake light and fluffy. Use this substitution for 1 cup of cake flour while baking. Scale it as needed, following the amount recommended by the recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for 1/2 cup (70 g) of cake flour, use 1/2 (75 g) cup of all-purpose flour and replace 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) (25 g) of flour with 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) (10 g) of cornstarch.
Summary: Place 2 tbsp (20 g) of cornstarch into a 1 cup measuring cup. Fill the rest of the 1 cup (130 g) with all-purpose flour. Combine the flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Use another bowl and a strainer or sifter to sift the flour mixture 3-5 times. Scale the 1 cup measurement up and down for the recipe.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are looking to pick to girls, it helps to be mentally and physically prepared to do so. Before you go out, have a few funny anecdotes lined up, should the opportunity to talk to a girl arise. Continually scan your environment for suitable candidates; you never know when a hottie is going to wander by. Pay attention to your surroundings so that when an opportunity arises for small talk, you can quickly think up an icebreaker comment about something nearby. If you are a slacker dressed in a business suit, the disconnect between your personality and your clothing is going to come across very quickly in conversation and confuse the girl, or make her uncomfortable. Dress in a way that advertises the kind of person you are, but do choose the nicest clothes of your preferred type that you have available. At very least, make sure that your clothing and hair are clean and presentable. If you've got a few extra bucks to spend, invest in a new pair of shoes. If you want to pick up girls, you need to go to where they are. Choose a place with a lot of foot traffic to hang out, such as a street with many restaurants, the sidewalk outside of a popular coffee shop, or the arcade in front of a big bookstore. Also, plan your search for a time of day when the girls who walk by are likely to have a bit of time to spare. People who are rushing to get to work or or an early class are unlikely to be in the mood to stop and chat. Aim for the lunch hour, or mid-morning, when many people go out for a coffee break. Most women will be put off by a man (or woman) slouching on a street corner, calling out to various girls as they walk by. No one enjoys being harassed in the street! Your advance will seem far less threatening and contrived if it appears you are busy or out running errands. Even though you may actually just be walking around aimlessly looking for girls, it's best to have some kind of destination in mind, in case an opportunity for conversation or an invitation arises ("I was just on my way to the Farmer's market, would you care to join me?") You can also try "getting lost" in the vicinity of a known destination, so you can ask a girl for directions. ("I was just looking for the Apple store, but seem to be turned around. Can you help me out?")

SUMMARY:
Always be prepared to meet a new girl. Dress neatly, in a fashion that reflects your personality. Figure out where the girls are. Look like you have a purpose, besides picking up girls.
