Article: This method requires that the threaded rod be installed into the the swag, and the the toggle nut is spun only so far that the threaded rod protrudes out of the end by about two or three threads. The toggle nut should be installed so that the wings can be depressed against the threaded rod (towards the base of the swag hook). This same method is used to suspend objects from hooks in the ceiling. When using this method for ceiling installations, only the lightest loads or ornamental type loads should be considered, as this support method is the least robust. Holes 1/2" or greater are not uncommon. Press the swag against the ceiling to ensure that the wings have popped open. Twist the swag hook clockwise while gently pulling downward.

If no studs (wall installation) or strapping or joists (ceiling) are present, the toggle method can be used. While holding the wings against the threaded rod, determine the diameter of a hole that would be required to push the toggle nut through. Drill into the ceiling only deep enough to penetrate the wallboard. Squeeze the toggle nut wings against the threaded rod, and press the toggle nut into the hole completely. Twist the swag until the flange or base is firmly pressed against the ceiling. Repeat for as many swags as needed.
Article: If you are using calla lilies as part of a wedding bouquet, let them sit in a vase in a cool place until 30 minutes before you need them. Remove them from the water 30 minutes before using them to avoid water dripping onto clothing. It may be a good idea to dip the cut ends in melted wax to help seal them. Alternately, try putting a cotton ball at the end of the stem and wrapping it with cloth underneath ribbon. This will help seal the end to stop it brushing against clothing and leaving a stain. Calla lily pollen will stain clothing. You can remove the 'spadix' that's the yellow finger-shaped thing inside the flowerhead but this ruins the appearance of the flower. The best option to avoid staining is to just be careful when you are handling the flowers. If your callas are being transported some distance to their final destination, after arrival they need to 'condition' in a cool dark room for about 6 hours before you arrange them in a bouquet. Cut the ends and let them sit in a bucket of lukewarm water in a cool dark place such as a basement This helps them rehydrate after transport to preserve their lifespan and look their best. If any are still looking limp after this time, recut the ends and repeat the conditioning. If any pollen is visible on the flower petal, avoid using the flower. This is a sign the flower head is more mature and won't last as long as other flower heads that don't have visible pollen stains. Callas last well in a bouquet so long as they are fully hydrated before they are arranged.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't put your lilies out until you need them to preserve their beauty. Avoid calla lily pollen to avoid staining. Condition your callas after transport to help them rehydrate. Finished.
Article: The classic way to wear a trucker hat is facing forward and fitted to the head. This is an easy, comfortable position that can give off an intelligent, laid-back vibe when worn with the right outfit. Try wearing black fitted pants, a white v-neck, and a jean jacket with your forward-facing trucker hat to achieve this look. If you wear your hat straight backwards, it might look a little retro-gone-wrong. Avoid this fashion faux-pas and go for a much cooler look by placing the back of the hat just above your hairline and allowing the bill to point downward behind you. If you like to be more daring with your fashion choices, put your hat on so that it's facing forward with the bill coming out from your upper forehead horizontally. Then, lift the bill up so that it moves from your forehead to just past your hairline and is about halfway between horizontal and vertical. This makes for a fashionable European-inspired look. While wearing billed hats sideways was somewhat acceptable during the 1990's, it's no longer a trend. Go with a forward-facing or rear-facing position instead if you want to be stylish.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wear it naturally facing forward for a smart, casual look. Wear it backwards and pointed down to give off a cool vibe. Pull the bill up to get a bold, trendy look. Avoid wearing your hat sideways.
