Turn the oven on to 350 degrees F (180 C). Spray a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13-cm) loaf pan with cooking spray. This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan. Measure all of the dry ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together for about 30 seconds, so they're incorporated. You'll need: 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (100 g) white sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt Melt 1/4 cup (56 g) of unsalted butter in a separate mixing bowl. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of buttermilk and 1 large egg. Whisk the wet mixture until the egg is well mixed. If you don't want to use butter, you can substitute the same amount of olive or vegetable oil. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir the mixtures together until they're just combined. If you'll be adding optional flavors, it's fine if there's still a little dry mixture in the dough. You can easily make sweet or savory flavored quick bread. Just stir the added flavors in until they're just combined, since you don't want to over-mix the dough. You can add up to 1 1/2 cups of mix-ins (like the dried fruits or nuts), or add seasonings and herbs according to your taste. Good options for quick bread include: Fruit: cranberries, dried cherries, apples, blueberries, orange zest, raisins Nuts: walnuts, pecans, almonds Herbs and spices: dill, pesto, caraway seeds, chili powder, garlic powder Cheese: parmesan, cheddar

Summary: Preheat the oven and prepare a pan. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Melt the butter and stir in the wet ingredients. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir in any optional flavors.

Test the nail polish remover on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage the carpet or upholstery. Then blot at the stain with the nail polish remover until it lifts away. Do not use nail polish remover if the upholstery is made from acetate or triacetate, as this can cause a color change. If you are unsure of the material, test the nail polish remover in an inconspicuous location first. Use either an old cloth or cotton balls for the nail polish remover.

Summary: Dab the stain with nail polish remover if the damp, soapy cloth didn't work.

Your fear of driving may be a phobia if it is so severe that it causes debilitating symptoms. If you are just a bit frightened by the idea or act of driving, then it is probably not a phobia. For example, a fear of driving might cause you to feel a bit nervous before you start your morning commute, while a phobia might cause you to avoid driving altogether by taking public transportation or riding your bike to work. Phobias may cause emotional and physical symptoms such as: feeling dizzy sweating having chest pain having difficulty breathing trembling or shaking having a racing pulse feeling anxious wanting to escape or run away feeling like you are going crazy or dying feeling powerless to control your fear The first step toward getting over your fear of driving is to try to pinpoint the reason you are afraid. Many people with this issue experienced a traumatic event at some point in their past that turned them off to the idea of piloting a car; for others, the fear arose gradually. For still others, driving fear has a more indirect source. The following are examples of how some driving fears and phobias start: You were in a serious car accident. This is a big reason some people don't like to drive, and it is especially likely to be problematic if it happened when you were a young, inexperienced driver (or as a child passenger). You had a negative experience when first learning to drive, such as being yelled at by an impatient teacher or being a victim of another driver's road rage. You become anxious or feel trapped during traffic jams. You found yourself driving in bad weather such as deep snow, icy roads, heavy rain or fog, or high winds. Whether or not such an event results in an accident, it can lead to fear of driving if it is a frightening experience. You are frightened by stories of traffic accidents. Sometimes just knowing what could happen is enough to generate heightened fear of driving. You are prone to anxiety attacks, which you fear having while driving and losing control as a result. Stress and anxiety in other aspects of your life has boiled over to affect your driving confidence. Phobias, especially when deep-seated, can be difficult to overcome without assistance. If you cannot seem to overcome your driving phobia or if your phobia is impacting your quality of life, you should think about seeing a therapist. A therapist can help you to address the problem and take steps to overcome your driving phobia. Even if you have a fear of driving and not a phobia, a therapist can help you to identify the source of your fear and become more comfortable with driving. Search online for therapists in your area and seek out those who specialize in anxiety disorders (the category under which most driving phobias fall).

Summary: Recognize the difference between a fear and a phobia. Acknowledge the source of your fear. Consider therapy.

Use a trapezoid shape with softer edges for the head, and mark a cross inside that same shape. Use a rectangle for the body. Notice that kittens have bigger heads in proportion to the body as compared to a full grown cat. The cross in the face should help you determine where the eyes, nose, and mouth go. The middle point of the cross should be at the approximate middle of the face. Note that the head should overlap the body. The top line of the body should roughly match the horizontal cross-line of the face. Sketch a draft of the kitten's limbs. Each limb should be a rounded triangle coming off the bottom of the body rectangle. Note that the legs on the "far" side of the kitten should be slightly smaller than those on the "near" side. Similarly, draw two large triangles over the top corners of the head. For a cartoonish look, these triangles should be bigger than those made for the legs. You can draw a wavy, rounded tail or a more angled one depending on personal preference. Either way, the tail should have at least one bend in it; do not draw the tail perfectly straight. Using the cross inside the square as guide, draw two small circles for the eyes, placing them evenly on either side of the vertical center and just above the horizontal center. Add the nose and mouth. The nose should land on the vertical center and rest below the horizontal center. The mouth should look like a rounded "W" with the center attached to the bottom of the nose. You can draw slim curved lines for a furry effect. Add three straight whiskers on each of the kitten's cheeks. Many cats have striped fur, so you can add this detail if you want. Draw a few triangular stripes on the kitten's back and tail. This includes overlapping lines and the cross-lines of the face. You can use any colors desired. Consider giving the kitten light brown fur. If you added stripes, make the stripes a slightly different shade.
Summary: Make an outline of the kitten's head and body. Add cat ears and limbs. Sketch a rough outline of the kitten's tail. Draw the face. Darken desired lines of the head and body from the outline you made earlier. Consider adding patterns to the coat. Erase unnecessary lines. Color the drawing.
