Problem: Article: If you'd like, you can make it taper towards the middle to make it easier to grab onto. This will give you a nice, smooth surface to work on. Many clay-working tools are too big to carve such intricate designs. Luckily, you can use just about anything to carve your design, such as a: ball-point pen, knitting needle, toothpick, stylus, or paperclip. You can also "stamp" a design into the clay. Simply find a fancy coat button or charm, and press it into the clay. Carefully pull the button or charm away. The indent is your design. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the package, usually about 275F (135C). Once the oven is hot, stick the piece into the oven and wait the time specified on the package, usually 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the piece. If you'd like, you can sand the bottom of the stamp gently to make it perfectly smooth. Do this by placing a sheet of fine-grit sandpaper on a flat surface, and then rubbing the base of the stamp back and forth across it. This should not affect your design, because it is carved into the stamp. Rinse the stamp when you are done, then part it dry. Lightly oat your stamp with oil or water first, then press it into a puddle of melted wax or hot glue. Wait a few seconds, then pull the stamp away. For more detailed instructions, refer to the methods on making wax seals and hot glue seals. You can also make a seal out of clay. Simply roll a bit of polymer clay into a ball, then flatten it. Rub some oil or water onto the stamp, then press it into the clay. Gently pull the stamp away, then bake the clay piece according to the package directions.
Summary: Roll some polymer clay into a tube, about the size of your thumb. Tap the bottom of the tube against a flat surface. Carve a design into the bottom of the tube. Bake the clay piece(s) according to the instructions on the package. Let the stamp cool. Use the stamp.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In serious cases, you may be able to feel your bladder descend into your vagina. When you sit down, it may feel like you are sitting on a ball or an egg; this feeling may disappear when you stand up or lie down. This is the most obvious symptom of a cystocele, and you should see your primary care physician or gynecologist as soon as possible. This feeling is generally considered a sign of a severe prolapsed bladder. If you have any pain, pressure, or discomfort in your lower abdomen, pelvic area, or vagina, you should see a doctor. Any number of conditions, including a prolapsed bladder, could cause those symptoms. If you have a cystocele, this pain, pressure, or discomfort may increase when you cough, sneeze, exert yourself or otherwise place pressure on the muscles of your pelvic floor. If this is the case, be sure you mention it to your doctor. If you have a prolapsed bladder, you may also feel like something is falling out of your vagina. If you tend to leak urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exert yourself, you have what's known as "stress incontinence." Women who have given birth are particularly susceptible, and a prolapsed bladder can be a major cause. See your doctor to resolve the issue. Notice as well if you've experienced any changes when you urinate, including difficulty initiating a stream of urine, incomplete emptying of the bladder (also known as urinary retention), and increased urinary frequency and urgency. Note if you've had frequent bladder infections, or urinary tract infections (UTIs). "Frequent" is defined as having more than one UTI in a six-month period. Women with cystoceles often wind up with frequent bladder infections, so it's worth paying attention to the frequency of your UTIs. Pain during sex is called "dyspareunia" and can be triggered by a number of physical conditions, including a prolapsed bladder. If you are dealing with dyspareunia, you should see your primary care physician or gynecologist as soon as possible. If pain during intercourse is a new development for you, and you've recently delivered a baby vaginally, then a prolapsed bladder is a particularly likely cause. Don't delay seeing your doctor. Some women with cystoceles also experience pain, pressure, or discomfort in the lower back area. Back pain is a very general symptom that could mean many things or nothing serious at all but it makes sense to schedule an appointment with your doctor. This is especially the case if you are experiencing any of the other symptoms. If your case is a mild one, you may not notice any the above symptoms. Some cystoceles are first discovered during routine gynecological examinations. However, if you exhibit or experience any of the symptoms described above, you should consult your primary care physician (PCP) or gynecologist. If you do not experience symptoms there is often no need for treatment.

SUMMARY: Feel for a bulge of tissue in your vagina. Note any pelvic pain or discomfort. Consider any urinary symptoms. Take pain during sexual intercourse seriously. Monitor your back pain. Know that some women have no symptoms at all.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For example, stopping and starting the car a lot uses much more gas than driving at a constant pace. This is why highway consumption is always less than city consumption. Cruise control can help you get better fuel consumption. Fuel consumption gets worse the faster you drive. Since AC uses gasoline, using it will diminish your fuel consumption. To get a more accurate picture of your car's fuel consumption, you need to have more data. By driving for longer and averaging your fuel consumption you eliminate "glitches" in your data. Say, for example, that you calculated your fuel consumption one day as you drove up into the mountains. Because climbing uphill takes more fuel, your fuel consumption would look much lower than it normally is. Set your odometer to zero and don't reset it after you get a tank of gas. If you don't have an odometer, record how many miles are on your car with a full tank of gas. To get a more accurate measure of fuel consumption, you need to know how much gas you are using. Each time you fill up, write down the number of gallons you purchase and save it. Do not reset your trip odometer as you drive. Make sure your fill up your car 3-4 times for an accurate reading. Try to do this during a month of average driving, as big trips or unexpected traffic will change your fuel consumption. You do not need to fill your car all the way up each time. As long as you record the number of gallons you put in you can calculate fuel consumption. When you are ready to calculate your fuel consumption, top your car off and record the number of gallons you put in. This represents the total gas used over this period of time. If I bought three tanks of gas, 12 gallons, 3 gallons, and 10 gallons, then my total gas usage would be 25 gallons. Use your trip odometer to see how many miles you traveled total, then divide this by gallons to get your average fuel consumption. While this is the exact number of miles per gallon during your test period, it is a good estimate for your car's average fuel consumption. For example, if you used 25 gallons of gas, and drove 500 miles during that time, then your average fuel consumption would be 20 miles per gallon (500 miles / 25 gallons = 20 mpg). By law, car makers must post the average fuel consumption for cars. However, these are only estimates, and they are frequently on the high end. You can look up your car's fuel consumption online through this US Department of Energy website, but to find your car's actual miles per gallon you'll have to calculate it yourself. If your calculation is drastically different from the suggest average, you may need to bring your car to a mechanic.
Summary:
Remember that fuel consumption changes based on your driving. Record multiple tanks of gas in a row to find your average fuel consumption. Set your trip odometer to zero with a full tank of gas. Record how many gallons of gas you purchase each time you fill up. Drive for normally for several weeks. Fill up your tank fully after 2-3 weeks. Add up the number of gallons you bought. Divide total miles by total gallons. Know that your car's advertised mileage is often overestimated.
