Article: States that allow delivery of alcoholic beverages to private homes regulate delivery licenses through the same licensing board that regulates the sale of alcohol generally. You first need to find out if the state licensing board allows home delivery in your state. Some states have passed laws specifically allowing it. In other states, home delivery is neither forbidden by law or explicitly permitted by law. Where your state's law doesn't address home delivery, licensing boards have different approaches. In many such states, home delivery is permitted under the same regulations as retail sales are permitted. This means customers must pay for the alcohol on site and have it delivered at a later time. In most states that have passed laws that deal specifically with liquor delivery services, you must have a retail license to sell alcoholic beverages to consumers for consumption elsewhere. If you don't already have a retail license, you'll have to get one before you can start a liquor delivery service. Determine whether you intend to deliver spirits, beer, wine, or all of the above. Some states require different retail licenses for the sale of different types of alcoholic beverages. Many states require separate licenses for selling spirits, and these licenses may be allocated. This means that although typically you can get a license to sell beer and wine provided you meet the basic license requirements, there may be a lottery for a set number of licenses to sell spirits. If you have questions about which type of license you need, you can ask someone who works at the state licensing board, or review the information on the board's website. Each state has an application form that you must complete to get a retail license to sell alcoholic beverages. You will have to provide information about yourself and any other business owners, as well as your business and its location. The application form itself will require you to provide information about your business, yourself, and any other owners of the business. You'll have to identify the location of your business, and may have to get certification that you don't violate any zoning or other local ordinances governing the location of retail establishments that sell alcoholic beverages. In many states all owners of the business must get fingerprinted and pass a criminal background check before a license will be issued. In addition to the application form, there typically are a number of other documents you must provide to get a new retail license to sell alcoholic beverages. The state licensing board should have a checklist you can follow to make sure you've gathered all required documents. Typically other documents you must submit are related to the owners of your business, including copies of identification, fingerprint cards, or background check information. Double-check everything on your application before you get ready to submit it. Errors or missing information could result in your application being delayed or rejected. Some states may require you to sign your completed application in the presence of a notary public. Make copies of your signed application and all other required documents before submitting them to your state licensing board so you have copies for your records. You must pay a fee to apply for a retail license to sell alcoholic beverages. This fee varies widely among states, but typically is at least $100. Some states allow you to fill out and submit your applications online, paying your licensing fees with a credit or debit card. If you have to submit a paper application, you may want to take it into the local licensing office yourself or pay extra for a tracking option when you mail it, so you can verify it got to the right place. Once your application is processed, you should receive your official license within a few weeks provided you meet all the requirements of your state. Once you get your license, you can sell alcoholic beverages as well as deliver them to customers provided home delivery is allowed in your state. Expect it to take several weeks, if not a couple of months, for your application to be processed once it is received by the licensing board.

Article: Most of the basic thermal greases contain silicone and zinc oxide, while more expensive compounds contain heat conductors such as silver or ceramic. Silver or ceramic thermal greases facilitate more efficient heat transmission. However, the basic thermal grease will sufficiently fill the needs for most applications. If you are planning on overclocking your computer, try to get thermal paste composed mainly of silver, copper, or gold. These are the most conductive metals commonly used in thermal paste. Wipe the surface lightly with a cotton ball or cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol. The higher the percentage of alcohol the better. 70 percent is good but 90 percent is better (if you can find it). Ideally, the two touching surfaces will be perfectly flat, which would completely eliminate the need for thermal paste. If your heat sink base is rough, you can wet-sand it with fine grit paper or emery cloth it to make it smoother. This isn't necessary unless you are aiming for the ultimate in cooling performance. Thermal paste is designed to fill in the gaps and imperfections on the surfaces that you are joining. Since modern production techniques cannot make surfaces without imperfections, thermal paste will always be necessary.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a good thermal paste. Clean the CPU and heat sink surfaces. Sand the heat sink and processor surfaces if necessary.
