INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hold the garment under a stream of warm water to wash away the saturated dye. Gradually decrease the temperature of the water so that it cools the garment in stages. Continue rinsing with cold water until it runs clear. Going from warm to cool water will help the color set after the loose dye has been rinsed out. Wash freshly-dyed apparel on a low heat setting with a mild detergent. Throw an old towel in to soak up any dye that happens to run. For the first few washings, separate different colored items to prevent bleeding and color-mixing. Some materials may fade a little following a few washings. Consider using color-preserving detergents and fabric softeners to maintain the appearance of your dyed clothing. The heat from the dryer will reset the fabric, locking in the new color. Like you did while washing, make sure you keep an old towel with the item in case of minor bleeding. After an initial washing and drying, you can begin laundering dyed clothing as usual. Once the item comes out of the dryer, it will be ready to wear! Whisk less sturdy materials like wool, silk, and lace through a sinkful of clean, warm water. Mix in a small amount of detergent to clean and restore the fabric. Press out the excess water gently, then hang each garment separately and allow them to air dry. It may take as long as 24 hours for hand-washed clothing to dry completely. Position a bucket or old towel beneath your dyed delicates as they dry to catch stray drips.

SUMMARY: Rinse the item immediately. Run the item through the washing machine. Dry the item thoroughly before wearing. Wash and dry delicates by hand.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Cooking whole, raw corn on the cob is a cinch. Gather your corn (husks on) and set them in the microwave. You may place them on a paper towel or a microwave-safe plate, but as long as the husks are on and your microwave is clean, this isn't required. If you're cooking more than four ears, limit yourself to batches of four at a time many microwaves will have trouble heating more than four at once. Don't take the husks off yet. If you've already done this, your corn isn't ruined, but leaving the husks on will help keep the ears moist and delicious. You can wrap the ears in a paper towel if desired to duplicate the effect of the husks. Set your microwave to "HIGH" or its default cooking setting for between three and five minutes. Depending on the number of ears you're cooking, the precise cooking time can vary one online source recommends three minutes for one or two ears and four minutes for three or four ears. Because microwaves can vary in terms of cooking strength, you may find that it's a good idea to cook a little less time than you think you need to, then check on the corn. You can always cook the corn for an extra minute or two if needed, but you can't "undo" the damage once it's overdone. After a few minutes in the microwave, the ears' outer husks may not feel terribly hot, but the insides are likely piping hot. To avoid injury, set the corn (husks still on) on a wire cooling rack for about five minutes to cool. You're ready to proceed when the silks (the stringy part inside the husk) and the tops of the leaves are cool enough to handle with your bare hands. One of the benefits of leaving the husks on (besides preserving the internal moisture of the ears of corn) is that they act like insulators, keeping the kernels fairly warm. As soon as you take the husks off, however, the kernels will start to cool much more rapidly, so wait until right before you're ready to eat to do your shucking. Be careful while you shuck the corn the insides can still be hot. If you're unsure, peel back the husk a little bit and carefully feel the kernels with the back of your hand. For a step-by-step guide, see our corn-husking article.
Summary: Set up to four ears of corn in the microwave. Microwave for at least three minutes. Let the corn cool. Shuck just before serving.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's a key component in any relationship, but when you're in college, there are so many opportunities to meet new people. Your girlfriend should know what she can trust you, and you should be able to trust her in return. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to building trust, so you need to put in the time. Being consistently considerate, supportive, loyal, and affectionate is the best way to get your girlfriend to trust you. It will be easier to trust one another if you establish a commitment from the start. Make sure you both know exactly what you expect from one another. Between classes, work, extracurricular activities, and friends, college students have a lot of demands on their schedule, but in order for your relationship to thrive, you have to make an effort to see your girlfriend on a regular basis. Even committing to seeing each other only two or three times a week can make a big difference into making your relationship work. If you're very busy, get creative about finding time to spend with your girlfriend. For example, if you're both swamped with midterms, study together. You can take turns quizzing each other or meet up to have a late night snack. While it's natural to want to spend all your time with someone that you care about, healthy relationships allow for both parties to grow as people. Allow her to cultivate interests that are separate from yours, while you do the same. While she's doing her own thing, it's still important to be supportive. For example, if she takes up a new hobby that you don't participate in, such as the intramural volleyball team, show up for games and events to cheer her on. College is a transitional period for many people, and that can make it difficult to keep a relationship going. If you're serious about your girlfriend, you should have an honest conversation with her about what's going to happen down the road and where you both expect the relationship to go. For example, if she's planning to go to graduate school in New York after college and you're moving to Seattle for medical school, you may decide that you don't want to get too invested.

SUMMARY:
Establish trust. Manage your time. Give her space sometimes. Discuss the future.
