Problem: Article: Stir the spinach and garlic occasionally to help them cook more evenly and prevent them from burning. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Once the spinach has wilted, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add some hot water and puree until it is smooth. If the spinach is not mixing smoothly enough, use a rubber spatula to scrape any unblended spinach down the sides and towards the bottom. Set the mixture aside when it is completely smooth. Make sure that the saucepan is large enough to fit the rest of your ingredients, including the milk and pureed spinach. Occasionally stir the mixture with a spatula. You will end up with a roux-like paste, which you will eventually thin out. This will help create a thicker soup. Use a whisk to help the roux dissolve and break up any clumps or lumps. Open up the blender or food processor, and pour the pureed spinach into the saucepan. Whisk everything together to combine, then cook until the soup thickens, stirring occasionally. If you need to, add in some more salt, cayenne pepper, and/or black pepper. For extra flavor, garnish it with Gruyere cheese. You can also use other types of cheese as well.
Summary: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the spinach and garlic. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor with cup (60 milliliters) of hot water. Cook the onions in butter over medium heat in a saucepan until the onions start to soften. Sift the flour into the mixture, and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the milk, salt, and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the pureed spinach and cook until it thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the soup and make any necessary adjustments. Pour the soup into bowls and serve.

Problem: Article: Clean plastic furniture with a scouring pad using a mixture of 14 cup (59mL) of clear dish soap and 1 gallon (3.8L) of warm water. Cold water doesn't quite cut through dirt and grime as well, and hot water is too intense and can damage the furniture. If the basic cleaning doesn't quite do the job, clean the furniture again with cup of dish soap mixed with a gallon of water, or mix in as much as two tablespoons of oxygen bleach. If trying to get rid of mildew, make a bit of a stronger mixture that has one cup of oxygen bleach for every gallon of water. Combine cup of white vinegar and one quart of water, put it in a spray bottle, spray, and leave it on for ten to twenty minutes before rinsing colored furniture with a hose and letting the sunshine dry it. Vinegar may discolor or leave streak marks on older plastic furniture. With a wet sponge, rub stained areas of your plastic patio furniture. Using a non-abrasive cleaner such as baking soda will get rid of the stain without causing any damage. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners may get rid of stains, but they'll also scratch the plastic. Apply a coat of wax paste to the surface of the furniture, give the wax a few minutes to dry, and then wipe off any residue left with a clean cloth.
Summary: Mix dish soap and warm water for a basic cleaning. Use oxygen bleach if you're trying to get rid of grime and mildew. Spray a vinegar solution on colored plastic to remove mildew. Sprinkle baking soda on a sponge to get rid of tough stains. Preserve plastic furniture with an automotive wax paste.

Problem: Article: When dribbling, it's not smart to keep an erect, up-and-down posture. In this stance, the ball will have to travel all the way from your upper body to the ground and back again as it bounces, leaving it wide open for a defender to steal. Before you start to dribble, get in a low, defensive stance. Spread your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and drop your hips back slightly (as if you were sitting in a chair). Get your head up and your upper body mostly erect. This is a good, balanced foundation - it protects the ball while giving you plenty of mobility. Don't bend at the waist (as if you were bending over to pick something up). Besides being bad for your back, this stance is fairly unbalanced, meaning it's easier to accidentally stumble forward, which, depending on the in-game situation, can be a big mistake.
Summary: Get in a low stance.

Problem: Article: Whether you've come across clothing you rarely wear anymore while spring cleaning, or simply emptied out a storage closet cluttered with infrequently used items, gather all of your potential donations into one spot. You might want to divide your potential donations according to type, making piles for things like: Books Clothing Electronics Houseware Shoes Donating a broken item won't help anyone out, so you should give all items you're considering for donation a brief inspection to make sure each has all of its parts, pieces, and is undamaged. Test out electronics and appliances to see if these are in working order. This way you can be sure your donation makes a difference. Goodwill accepts most new, like new, and gently used household items, including furniture and electronics. Some common items that Goodwill does not accept: Carpet/carpet padding Chemical products Cribs CRT, DLP, or rear-projection TVs Large appliances (refrigerators, washers/dryers, etc.) Mattresses/box springs Weapons Try to keep items that belong together from being separated, as a single shoe or dish will be far less useful than a complete set. You might consider using a rubber band to prevent shoes or other sets from losing a mate. When loading up your items, dropping off your donation will be much easier if you bag or box up similar items together. This can be particularly useful if you are planning on using these donations as a write off for tax purposes. Write down all the items you are planning to donate, and then use the Goodwill Valuation Guide to estimate the worth of your donation. Plastic totes or containers are often more durable than plastic bags or cardboard boxes, which can be especially helpful when moving heavy or cumbersome donations. Additionally, by transporting your things to a donation center in a reusable container, you are helping protect the environment by reducing waste. If you are donating something that has delicate parts or could potentially break, you may want to hand this to a Goodwill attendant as soon as you arrive at your donation center. If you are donating several fragile items or handing off your fragile item is not an option, package each carefully and clearly label each box with the word, "Fragile." Not only will a broken item lose much, if not all, of its value, but these can also be a safety hazard for Goodwill employees. Be sure your fragile items are safely packaged. Goodwill aims to make a positive difference in the lives of those who are needy or less fortunate. In 2014 alone, Goodwill helped 318,000 people with employment finding services and 26.4 million people with professional development and financial planning services. By making a monetary donation to Goodwill, you can be a part of these positive changes at a local or national level. Donate your money by check or in cash at your local Goodwill. Make an online donation through the Goodwill website at: http://givenow.goodwill.org/site/PageNavigator/gii/GII_Landing_Page.html Checks sent by mail should be made out to "Goodwill Industries International, Inc." at the address:Goodwill Industries International, Inc.15810 Indianola DriveRockville, MD 20855
Summary:
