article: Don't wait to ask her on the day of the dance. She might already have a date by then, and there's a chance that she'll think she wasn't your first choice. Ask her around two to three weeks before the dance. This also gives her time to figure out what to wear. Spend a few minutes going over what you want to say so you don't trip over your words when the time comes. You can even practice in front of the mirror until your question sounds casual and sincere. Make sure you have a go-with-the-flow attitude. . You don't have to go all out and wear something like a suit; save that for the dance. Just make sure you've showered, your hair looks nice, and that you're wearing an outfit that doesn't look sloppy. Use deodorant and brush your teeth beforehand. Don't overdo it on the cologne, as this might push her away. If she says she doesn't like you in that way or just says "no," then back off. Nothing ticks a girl off more than an annoying guy that doesn't leave her alone. Not only is it rude, but it can make her dislike you more. If she says "no," do not ask why. Say something like, "Oh, all right. No problem." If she says, "I'll think about it," don't call her for a confirmed response. Wait until she calls you back. If she doesn't call back three days before the date of the dance, take it as a no.

article: In many cases, professional landscapers and certain non-profit groups concerned with repairing the effects of soil erosion can come to you and assess the severity of the soil damage on your property. These experts will perform a detailed examination of your land and come up with solutions for restoring soil to its natural health. Check to see if any of your local landscaping businesses offer soil restoration services, or if there are other eco-related groups in your area that might work with you on rescuing badly eroded soil around your home. Ecological restoration groups sometimes operate out of farms and universities, and many will assist in repairing erosion damage voluntarily or for little cost. Even if your soil is healthy, you should consult with a professional landscaper once a year or so to inspect your property for potential problems and discuss preventative solutions. Purchase live earthworms and add them to areas where soil is compacted, dry or barren they'll dig through the soil and help aerate it. Earthworms are some of the world's greatest biological decomposers, feeding on decaying organic matter and returning vital nutrients to the soil through excretion. Earthworm activity is one of the best means of naturally recycling and reintroducing organic nutrients to soil. In addition to infusing soil with badly needed nutrients, the subterranean movement of earthworms also acts as a kind of hands-free aeration process, increasing nutrient mixture, moisture retention and room for new root growth in topsoil. Earthworms can be purchased at most gardening supply stores for this very purpose, or may be acquired locally from conservation groups. Amendment is the process by which missing nutrients are added to eroded soil directly in order to restore the right chemical balance. Many different types of amendments can be used: compost is a common amendment used for gardening purposes, as are organic fertilizers, salt and peat. Soil amendment can be used in conjunction with aeration, earthworm introduction and meticulous watering to bring soil back to a healthy state. In order to select the right amendment for your soil, it is first necessary to identify the exact properties your soil lacks. You may be able to use erosion symptoms to diagnose various deficiencies, but it's probably wiser to work with a landscaper or other soil expert to find out what's missing from your soil and take the appropriate action.

article:
Set your oven to 350 F. Measure out 1 cup of uncooked wild rice. Pour the wild rice into a mesh strainer and rinse the seeds under cold water. Rinsing the wild rice will remove unwanted hulls from the seeds. 1 cup uncooked wild rice will yield approximately 3 to 4 cups cooked wild rice. Pour the rinsed wild rice into a 2 quart covered glass dish. Add 3 cups cold water to the rice. Instead of water, you can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. Cover the dish and insert it into the oven. Bake the wild rice at 350 F for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the dish from the oven. Use a table fork to fluff, or stir, the rice. If the wild rice appears dry, add more water to the dish. If you used broth, add more broth instead of water. Cover the dish and return the fluffed wild rice to the oven. Bake the wild rice at 350 F for 30 minutes. After half an hour, remove the dish from the oven. Transfer the cooked wild rice to a mesh strainer to drain off any excess liquid. Pour the strained wild rice into a serving dish. Fluff the cooked seeds with a table fork and serve. After you strain the wild rice, you can season it to taste.
