Q: Measure out your flaxseeds in a container you can cover. Pour in 2 cups (470mL) of distilled or filtered water. Put the solution in the refrigerator for 8 hours or so. You can find flaxseeds at most grocery stores in the baking aisle or health food aisle. It's fine if you need to leave the solution in the fridge for longer. Soaking the flaxseeds first isn't absolutely necessary, but it will increase how much gel you get. Distilled or filtered water has fewer additives, meaning your hair gel will likely last longer if you use one of these types of water. However, tap water will also work. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, turn the heat down to medium-low. As it simmers, stir it frequently so that the flaxseeds don't stick to the bottom and burn. Keep an eye on the pot, as it can overflow if you're not careful. If it looks like it's about to overflow, take it off the heat for a few seconds to let it cool. After 7-10 minutes, the mixture will start to thicken. It won't be as thick as typical gel while it's still hot, but it will have a gelatinous quality when you pour some off the spoon.
A: Place 1/4 cup (37 g) flaxseeds in a bowl with water overnight. Simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring often until the mixture thickens. Take the pot off the heat when you see tan-colored foam and a thicker consistency.

Q: To prevent bark and wood pieces from falling off the sides of the stump, seal the bark with a clear gloss finishing spray. Apply the spray around the sides of the stump from top to bottom. Place the stump in a dry spot outside, such as in your garage or a work shed, and let it dry overnight. This will give the sealer time to set so the stump is ready for use. If you want to elevate the stump and use it as a side table, you may attach legs to the bottom using screws and a power drill. Get 3 thin metal legs, such as hairpin legs, and drill them into the bottom of the stump for a more polished look. Alternatively, you can skip the legs and use the stump as is as a side table in your home for a more rustic look.
A: Apply sealer spray to the bark. Allow the sealer to dry overnight. Attach metal legs to the bottom of the stump, if desired.

Q: By paying to attend the official event, you won't need to wait outside, hoping for a glimpse. Get the best seats you can afford. The closer to the stage you are, the more likely they will see you. Some performers are very interactive with their audience and may take photos or chat with you. You can also pay for a VIP ticket that includes a Meet and Greet session. While very expensive, these opportunities usually come with great seats to the film, play, or concert, and a guaranteed photo of the two of you at the end. Most booking agents will explain exactly what is included with a VIP package. Celebrities will often promote themselves at book signings, both for their own books and books that are related to a project they work on. (For example, in 2012 Jennifer Lawrence signed copies of The Hunger Games at a New York City Barnes & Noble to promote literacy.) Many of these events are free. There are websites that can alert you to what is going on when and where. Contact the bookstore in advance to find out if the line is likely to be very long, what the photograph and autograph policies are, etc. Large bookstores handle many signings a year and know exactly what to expect. It may be difficult to get a photograph with a celebrity at a book signing; the bookstores usually want the line to keep moving. Don't make yourself a nuisance, or you will be unlikely to be allowed to return. Most book signings do not allow people to get an autograph, or to join the line to meet the celebrity, unless the person has bought the item. Consider buying more than one book. This may give you more time to speak to the celebrity while they sign. If you have tickets to a play or show, find where the stage door or back entrance is. After the play, head straight there and wait for the person to exit. There will likely be many people waiting, but you may still get a photo or an autograph. Some performers may be very tired after performing a show and will not want to sign autographs or pose for photos. Always be polite and respectful and don't hassle anyone. Shows such as The Daily Show, morning talk shows, and late night talk shows all have many celebrity guests per week. You can find taping schedules online so that you know when your favorite celebrity will be a guest. Like theaters, talk shows also have stage doors. Often arriving and leaving a taping is a staged event, complete with paparazzi and fans, but you may be able to score a quick meeting, depending on the celebrity and their schedule.
A: Buy tickets to the celebrity's concert, play, or appearance event. Keep an eye out for book signings. Go to the stage door. Visit a talk show taping.

Q: The booster goes into the tank before you add the fuel. Pop off the cap and pour in the amount you need, based on the back of the bottle. This process ensures that the booster will get mixed into the gas properly, as pouring in the gas will stir up the booster. Once you've got the booster in the tank, all you need to do is add the regular gas on top of it. Keep in mind that your octane level will be the octane number of the gas you're buying plus the amount the octane booster ups your level. Therefore, if you're buying 93 gas and you add a booster that increases it by 3, your level will be 96. Higher octane gas burns more slowly, making it less likely to knock, which is only beneficial if your car needs a higher octane level. You'll get the best performance out of the product if you use it within a year. While some boosters will last longer than a year, it goes bad faster when it's not stored in ideal conditions, such as not in its original container. Some boosters are light sensitive, so it's important that you keep them in the original container. Also, follow any other recommendations on the back of the bottle about storing the mixture. When adding an octane booster, it's a good idea to use them up quickly. If you have a car that you don't use much, only add as much as you need for the amount of fuel you're planning to use. Many boosters are ethanol based, and as they sit in your tank, their drawbacks become more of a problem. Buy what you're going to use in the short term, and try to mostly use it up. For instance, ethanol isn't as efficient as other types of gasoline, and that becomes worse over time. It's not as efficient because it burns more slowly, causing a slight reduction in the power.
A:
Pour the booster into the gas tank. Add the gas. Use the booster within a year. Keep the booster in the original container. Try not to leave the octane booster in your tank for extended periods.
