Article: If you're having trouble deciding, you might want to pick a race with abilities that remain powerful throughout the game. Here are the few abilities that will still feel useful even when you're a high-level adventurer: The Orc's berserk ability and the Breton's magic resistance are probably the most powerful and versatile options. The Imperial and Nord active abilities remain unique and effective, though somewhat narrow. Some abilities aren't that powerful, but occur often enough to save you significant preparation or healing time. The Dark Elf's fire resistance ends up being relevant more often than most other racial resistances, for instance.The Wood Elf's resistance to poison and disease is not at all necessary, but it does save you time micromanaging potions and temple visits. (Redguards and Argonians receive 1/2 of this ability each.) While the Argonians' water breathing and the Khajiit's night vision sound like they would open up unique exploration options, it turns out these are rarely useful. Your racial skill bonuses and abilities will be useful as a low-level character, making some play styles much easier than others. However, as you train skills and gain perks, your race will matter less and less. In general, once you've narrowed your choice down to a few options, there's little harm in picking the race that appeals to you on a visual or story basis. Your character's sex has only minor effects on gameplay. Some quests and perks give bonuses to interactions with the opposite sex, such as cheaper store prices or higher damage. Female characters are rumored to move at a slightly slower pace, but this is difficult to notice. Romance and marriage options are not affected by sex. Your character's race and sex will change NPC dialogue, but this rarely changes the fundamentals of a quest or conversation. Unless you have played other Elder Scrolls games and have an idea of which race you'd like to identify as, there's no real reason to pick one race over another for your first character. Of course, even new players often have a preferred race based on first impressions, and choosing a race you like may make the game more enjoyable. If you make additional characters, consider choosing a variety of races, and both sexes, so you have a chance to explore alternate dialogue. If you've played earlier Elder Scrolls games, or almost any other roleplaying game, you might be wondering why there's no class option. In Skyrim, all your actions improve as you perform them. For instance, when you successfully pickpocket someone, your Pickpocket skill improves. Other customization comes through the "perks" system, but neither of these methods of advancement are restricted by decisions made at character creation. Early on in the game, you'll be introduced to Standing Stones. While the first ones you see sound similar to classes (Thief, Mage, or Warrior), you will be able to switch between them as many times as you like. If you'd like to delve into the mechanics of Skyrim characters, you can plan out your entire character before you create him or her. This is only recommended for people who get most of their gameplay enjoyment from optimization, or for experienced Skyrim players. Try searching for character builds online, or plan out your own using SkyrimCalculator or the IGN Skill sBuilder.

Article: Mix together a 50-50 white vinegar and distilled water mixture inside a spray bottle. Shake the bottle a bit before using. If you dislike the smell of vinegar, add in a few drops of an essential oil, such as lemon. This solution can be stored for a number of weeks without losing its cleaning power. It is possible to use apple cider vinegar in the solution, but this does not have the same sanitizing effect as distilled white vinegar. Natural cleaners have a tendency to leave less residue and create fewer streaks than their commercial counterparts. Although, be aware that premixed cleaning solutions for laminate are available at most home stores. Boil 1 cup (240ml) of black tea using a single tea bag and 1 cup (240ml) of water. Wait until the tea cools down and then pour it into a spray bottle for application. Shake the mixture a bit before spraying and use it immediately. Do not store this solution. Fill your spray bottle up with warm or room temperature distilled water. Add in 1 tablespoon (15ml) of baby shampoo. Shake the bottle until it fills up with bubbles. Spray this solution lightly onto the surface of your floor. Baby shampoo is gentle and safe for most surfaces, including laminate. Before you do a general cleaning, make sure to address any specific stains or their residue can cause streaking across your finished floor. For a food-based stain, spoon a paste made from baking soda and distilled water over the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it away with a cloth dampened with water. Applying a bit of rubbing alcohol directly to a stain, using a cotton ball, can also help to remove it. But, don't let the alcohol sit for too long or it can cause your protective coating to peel up, which can give the appearance of dullness and streaking. Try using an acetone-based nail polish remover as an alternative to rubbing alcohol. Using tap water is the easier option, but it can add deposits on top of your floor. This, in turn, can make your floor appear dirty or dull. Instead, go with warm or room temperature distilled water in all of your floor cleaning solutions. Using distilled water also makes it possible to store your solution up to a few weeks.

Wipe up any remaining suds with a cloth dampened by water only. Let the car seat air dry. Put a couple of drops of a dry cleaning solvent, such as Guardsman, onto a clean cloth and then lightly dab the stained upholstery. Add a little more solvent to the cloth if you don't see progress. Then, let the car seat air dry. Do a test on an inconspicuous part of the upholstery beforehand to make sure it's suitable for your particular type of upholstery. Cover the stain completely with baking soda. Let it sit for at least a half an hour or so, and then vacuum it up to remove the stain. Repeat this process if the stain remains. If you have crayon stains left behind on your leather car seats, put a little rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth. Wrap the cloth around your finger and apply some pressure while you rub at the stained area. Then wipe the area with another cloth lightly dampened with warm, soapy water. Finally, wipe the area with a clean cloth dampened with water only and then let the spot air dry. Make sure to use a mild soap to make your soapy water.
