It goes without saying that some vacation destinations are better than others when it comes to meeting women. Think about the place you're going if you're looking to meet women abroad, and consider changing your choice of destination if it's that important to you. If you can imagine a vacation location as being exciting and potentially romantic, there's a good chance you'll be able to meet women there. Cruises, for example, are generally intended for committed couples, unless the cruise is listed as being otherwise. Tropical resorts or festive cities on the other hand attract singles in droves. Although most cruises are intended for married couple, there are specific cruises that capitalize on offering experiences for singles. Because most everyone going will be single, a singles cruise will vastly increase your chance to striking up conversation with single women. Conceivably, meeting someone on any cruise ship would be a romantic experience, but due to the fact that cruises are regularly associated with couples, your bet luck will be had with singles cruises. Although the tourism industry is conventionally built around couples, families and groups, there are vacation packages catered specifically to singles as well. Many of these involve resorts where other singles may congregate and make their own fun together. If you have a rough idea where you'd like to go, look into whether the region in question has any packages suited for your intent and situation. While some people prefer to take it easy and lay back while they're on vacation, there are almost always good way of meeting single women when you're abroad. Once you have a destination picked out, look into the attractions. The best place for meeting women will be high-energy settings where alcohol is involved. Clubs, bars and the beach are all great places to start. Try to steer away from places that attract families. The people you go on vacation with will have a major impact on your experience abroad. Your party will also have a considerable impact on your chances of meeting women. Going with your family won't help your odds for example, but going with a group of fellow singles who are intent on the same thing will make it easier to find fresh opportunities during the vacation.

Summary: Consider the place you're going to vacation at. Go on a singles cruise. Look into singles vacation packages. Plan your vacation activities with meeting women in mind. Go vacationing with the right kind of people.

If cauliflower doesn't have access to boron, an essential nutrient, it will begin to experience a variety of unappealing symptoms. Its head will turn brown, its leaf tips will die and its leaves will distort, and its stem may become hollow and brown. To treat this problem, boron must be introduced into the plant's soil immediately. Feed the plant with seaweed extract immediately and repeat every two weeks until symptoms disappear. For subsequent crops, add boron to the soil by mixing in compost or planting cover crops of vetch or clover. Clubroot is a fungal infection that causes large growths on the roots of plants in the family Brassicaceae (which includes cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and other plants). These root growths interfere with the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, causing it to grow asymmetrically, wilt, and eventually die. Worst of all is the fact that clubroot is contagious and can easily spread from plant to plant. To prevent a case of clubroot from ruining your entire cauliflower crop, swift, aggressive action must be taken. Pull infected plants up by their roots and discard them (don't compost them). Be sure to remove the entire root system - any fungus left in the ground can release spores and continue spreading. To prevent clubroot from returning, use one of the following methods: Improve the drainage of your soil by adding organic matter (clubroot thrives in moist environments). Plant a cover crop of winter rye and till it into your soil before planting cauliflower. Rotate your crops. Do not plant brassicas or in the same area two years in a row. Increase the alkalinity of your soil by mixing in hydrated lime in the fall (clubroot thrives in acidic soils) Lay thin sheets of clear, construction-grade plastic over infected soil during sunny weather. Leave in place for 1 - 1.5 months. The plastic acts as a sort of "greenhouse", trapping the sun's rays to heat the soil and kill the fungus. Another common fungal disease of cauliflower is blackleg. Blackleg causes irregular grey lesions or holes in the leaves and is sometimes accompanied by root rot. Like clubroot, this disease is difficult to treat, so preventative cures are the best bet. In particular, crop rotation is an effective technique for reducing the chance of blackleg. Don't plant cauliflower (or another member of the Brassicaceae family) in the same location more than one year in a row - this gives any remaining blackleg fungus in the growing site a year to die off. Additionally, in the event of blackleg, remove all plant debris left over after a harvest. This dead or dying plant material can contain live fungi for months, leading to the re-infection of the next crop. If you have any doubts about whether certain seeds are contaminated with the fungus or not, washing the seeds in hot water can help remove the fungus prior to planting.

Summary: Treat boron deficiency with seaweed extract. Stop clubroot by eliminating infected plants. Prevent blackleg by practicing crop rotation.

You can burn yourself if you handle engine parts right after you turn off your car. Wait at least 10 minutes or plan to check your oil while the engine is cold. A cool engine ensures that the oil enough time to settle at the bottom of the oil pan and will give you a more accurate reading of how much oil is in the car. . Most cars have an interior hood-popping lever located under the steering column. Pull the lever, then walk to the front of your car and unlatch the hood. Raise the hood so that it is completely open, and prop it up with a metal prop if your car has one. In a small number of cars (such as the Mini Cooper) the hood release on the passenger side. Make sure the vehicle is on a flat and level surface or the dipstick will provide an inaccurate reading. This is done best at a gas station where the surface is flat and even. The dipstick is connected to the oil tank in your engine, and is used to determine how much oil is still in the oil tank. When the car is in motion the oil splashes around and covers the entire stick. To check your oil level you need to start with a clean stick. The dipstick is often located near the front of the engine. When you locate it, give it a tug; it should pull out smoothly. Take care not to pull out the transmission fluid dipstick. If you're not sure which dipstick is connected to the oil tank, check the user manual that came with your car, or ask a gas station attendant for help. Carefully place the dipstick back into the pipe connected to the oil tank. Push it all the way down until it is completely reinserted. If it gets rattled or caught along the way, pull it back out, wipe it off, and try again. Look at the end of the dipstick to see where the oil's film ends. The end of the stick will have the word "ADD" toward the end, and "FULL" toward the middle. If the oil film reaches up to or below the ADD line, it's time to add more oil. If the oil film is close to the FULL line, you don't have to add more oil quite yet. In addition to checking the quantity of the oil, you should also check the quality. The oil should look clean and smooth. If the oil looks like it contains debris or looks cloudy, it needs to be changed.
Summary: Make sure the engine isn't hot. Open the hood Pull out the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean rag. Reinsert the dipstick. Remove the dipstick a second time to gauge the oil level. Determine whether the oil needs to be changed.
