How to measure a hockey stick
Determine what type of hockey you will be playing.
If you are playing ice hockey or playing in roller blades, you will need a longer stick than if you were playing street hockey or playing in shoes.
Wear the proper foot wear.

OPTIONS:
- You'll need to wear some type of hockey foot protection to assist any encounter with the puck, even though it is technically a hockey stick. Avoid skating or running on ice skates or running barefoot because of the physical pain involved.
- If you will be playing street hockey, wear shoes and measure your hockey stick. If you will be playing in skates or rollerblades, make sure to wear them or add inch or two to the length of your your hockey stick.
- Hockey skates are made from a fitting material that is perfect for heavy foot wear. Hockey skates also hurt your feet from the continual shock to them, causing numbness and tingling.
- Hockey staff no longer has discounts in the offer of foot wear. This means that if you wear a hockey hockey coat or sport skates you may be putting yourself in harm's way.

If you will be playing street hockey, wear shoes and measure your hockey stick. If you will be playing in skates or rollerblades, make sure to wear them or add inch or two to the length of your your hockey stick.

How to make corn soup
Shuck the corn.
Sweet corn soup is made with corn at the height of its ripeness in the summer. Take an ear of fresh corn and pull the leaves down to reveal the silk.

OPTIONS:
- Lay the head of the corn out on a cutting board to preserve the fine silk. For husked corn, make sure that it is free of bumps and tangles.
- The silk can be chopped whole and fed to the corn's base. If you prefer sweet corn soup, peel the corn before roasting it, as some recipes call for the habrero to be roasted this way.
- This will then be sliced into large pieces. Spread the split corn pieces on a dessert plate or on wax paper.
- Use your fingers to pull all the leaves and silk from the corn. Chop off the bottom knob with a sharp butcher knife.

How to make a braid using more than three strands
Create any odd number of strands you want.
Assign numbers to each strand, such that they run (for example) 1 2 3 4 5 from left to right. Find the middle strand.

OPTIONS:
- Make a mark where it is and then use scissors to cut it out. Now, create the 3 braiding strands.
- Take the farthest right strand and lay it over all the strands on its own side and over the middle strand. If you're using 5 strands, your configuration should now be 1 2 5 3 4.
- Bring the middle strand to the previous group so that it's in the left section. Once you are in the middle, grab the joined strands at the left side.
- Grab one of your strands for your braid, and set it aside for now. You can use 1 strand instead of 1 5; however, you can mix things up and place the gaps between longer strands and thinner strands.
