Q: If you are putting back a recently cleaned filter, it should be white and free of debris. If it is tinted black or coated in a slimy residue, do not put in back in your spa system. A new filter should be installed every one to three years, so you will likely encounter an unusable filter at some point. It is a good idea to keep an extra filter in storage for when replacement becomes necessary. Simply reverse the removal process to replace a filter. For most filters, sliding it back into its compartment will require twisting it to the right. Once the filter has been installed, allow the spa to run for one full cycle before you use it. This will deplete any debris that may have collected while your spa system was not actively filtering the water.
A: Make sure the filter is white. Slide the filter into place. Start up your hot tub.

Article: The end of a relationship--no matter how long it lasted--is a loss, and with loss comes grief. Everyone grieves differently, but grief has some common elements. The five stages of grief introduced by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in 1969 have become a universal guideline for what someone experiencing a loss can expect to go through: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. You won't necessarily go through all of these stages in your journey toward healing and even if you do, you may not go through them in order. Still, it's good to know what you might expect and understand that what you're feeling is perfectly normal. Depending on the circumstances of your breakup, you may also feel sadness, loneliness, regret, anxiety, guilt, insecurity or a variety of other negative emotions. You may also experience physical symptoms of grief. Headaches, nausea, insomnia, loss of appetite, weight gain, aches, pains and fatigue are not uncommon for someone going through a breakup. Keeping your emotions bottled up can prolong the pain you feel. This is the time to reach out to friends and family members who are good listeners. Or if you're not much of a talker, you can share your thoughts in a journal or blog. Talk to someone you trust. Turn to your mom, your grandma, your aunt, even your cousin or best friend. Sharing your feelings and knowing that someone else understands what you're going through can ease the burden of your grief. Have an imaginary conversation with your ex. One study showed that people who had imaginary conversations and then said goodbye to their partner had more relief from grief than those who didn't. Write a letter to your ex--but don't send it. Rather than fuming about what you should have said and what you'd say now if you ran into your ex, commit those thoughts and feelings to paper. Don't worry about being terribly coherent, and good grammar and spelling certainly don't count here. The idea is to get the anger, sadness, resentment and whatever other emotions out of your system and onto paper. It turns out that using bad language may benefit you by reducing your pain. A study published in NeuroReport showed a link between cursing and pain reduction. Whatever form it may take, turning to a spiritual practice can help you find peace in the midst of the turmoil caused by a breakup. In a grief study reported in the British Medical Journal, researchers found that people who have strong spiritual beliefs seem to resolve grief more rapidly and completely than those with no beliefs. Try meditation. Every major world religion has some form of contemplative practice with a meditative component, so choose the one that suits you best. These include yoga, Tai chi, prayer, Qigong and transcendental meditation to name a few. Women who hadn't gotten over a relationship by 16 weeks after a breakup had decreased brain activity in the regions associated with emotion, motivation and attention. In other words, their brains physically changed, which explains the inability to concentrate and to get up and go. Do not let yourself go this length of time without intervention.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Understand the stages of grief. Let it out. Curse if you want to. Tap into your spiritual side. See a professional if you're unable to make an emotional recovery.

Problem: Article: Attach the yarn to your crochet hook using a slipknot, then work a foundation of 20 chain stitches. If you do not know how to make slip knots or chain stitches, please see the "Tips" section at the end of this article. Make three additional chain stitches, then work one double crochet into each stitch of your foundation chain. Chain three at the end of this row, turn, and work one double crochet into each double crochet of your previous row. If you do not know how to double crochet, please check the "Tips" section for further instructions. This step and the one before it merely creates a foundation for you to work with when creating a cable stitch. These two steps are not actually part of the cable stitch itself. Note that cable stitches can also be worked into foundation rows of single crochet, but it is more commonly seen with rows of double crochet, half double crochet, or treble crochet. You already have a full crossed cable at this point, but you should alternate between the crossed cable row and the wrong side row as often as needed until the cable pattern becomes as long as you would like it to be. Once the pattern reaches your desired length, the process is complete.
Summary: Create a foundation chain. Work two rows of double crochet. Repeat the two rows as needed.

Article: With a very sharp boning knife, remove fat, cartilage, and any bruising, discoloration and dry spots that result from the aging process. Much of the toughness or undesirable gaminess negatively associated with venison can be lessened by removing these parts. The meat is at the perfect stage for butchering, which will also save time down the road when you're ready to defrost it and get cooking. If you have a meat grinder, take this opportunity to grind the neck and flank muscles for sausage or ground venison. Cube the shoulder meat for stewing or leave it whole for slow roasting. Cut steaks 3/4 of an inch thick, across the grain. In labeled meal-sized portions, pack the meat into plastic freezer bags. Squeeze as much of the air as possible out of the bags and that the bags are sealed tightly before placing them in the freezer. Don't forget to date the meat. Meat procured this way is all-natural, healthy, and hormone free. It should remain good for at least a year.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Prepare it for freezing. Make the cuts you'll want to eat. Freeze the meat.
