Problem: Article: If the LOP is too long for you, you can remove the recoil pad for a quick fix. However, this means your shoulder will absorb more of the impact when you fire the weapon. If the LOP is too short for you, you can easily replace the recoil pad with a thicker one. Or, you can add spacers between the stock and the buttplate or recoil pad. For best results, take the rifle to a local gunsmith and ask them to trim the stock to the correct size or replace the stock with a longer one, depending on the intended LOP. They'll take into account the space to add a new butt plate or recoil pad, too.
Summary: Shorten the LOP by removing the recoil pad. Lengthen the LOP by adding spacers or a thicker recoil pad. Get the stock trimmed or replaced by a gunsmith.

Problem: Article: Taking a shower every day can help remove oil and impurities that cause back acne. If you cannot reach your back, buy a special tool that is made for cleansing your back. Some have handles for that hard-to-reach middle back while others are made to spread across your back.They come with heads made of soft cloth, natural bristles, or sponge. Apply the cleanser directly to the back-washer. If you prefer baths, cleaning your back could still benefit from a soft-tipped back-washer. Use an exfoliating body wash or one that contains sulfur, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Make sure to use a new washcloth each day. Bacteria can grow and remain on a washcloth after your shower. Make sure to wash after exercising. Sweat build up can cause acne. While you may think scrubbing will help get rid of the acne, scrubbing can cause more acne. Scrubbing irritates and damages the skin. Instead, wash your back gently. Also use gentle cleansing products that are non-comedogenic they should be labeled as such. Products that are non-comedogenic are Neutrogena, Aveeno, Cetaphil, and Olay. You can also use acne cleansers marketed for your face on your back. These cleansers contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids. There are also many spray-on acne treatment products that contain similar ingredients as acne creams. These products, including Glytone spray and Murad spray, are often effective, easier options, as they can be applied to the back or chest by the person with the body acne. If the home treatments have not worked, you should see a dermatologist. If you have large pimples, the size of a pea or larger, you should also see a dermatologist. This may be too severe to treat at home. Your dermatologist will likely prescribe stronger medication than can be purchased over-the-counter. Depending on the severity of your acne, the medication you are given may vary from skin treatments to oral pills. It can take months to years to clear up your acne completely, even with prescription treatments, so be patient. Women may want to take oral contraceptives, which can effectively treat acne. These can help regulate hormones that may contribute to acne.
Summary: Shower daily. Try not to scrub your back. Use a medicated body spray. See a dermatologist.

Problem: Article: If you are prone to blood clots, your doctor will order you anticoagulant medication, like warfarin, before you undergo surgery. An anticoagulant will help decrease your blood's ability to clot, and subsequently, help to decrease the risk of clotting that can occur during and after surgery. Possible side effects of taking anticoagulants are increased bruising, prolonged nosebleeds, bleeding gums, vomiting or coughing up blood, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these side effects, report them to your doctor or nurse as soon as possible. You may need to continue the medication after surgery and when you go home as well. While sleeping and lying in bed, prop your legs up with 1 or 2 pillows. Elevating your legs will promote blood circulation, helping to decrease the risk of clotting. Alternatively, elevate the foot of your bed 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) off of the ground by stacking books or blocks underneath the legs of your bed. Your nurse will prompt you to get out of bed and walk around as soon as you are able to after surgery. Walk around the hospital's hallways to prevent clot formation. If you are not able to walk around, then flex your ankles back and forth 10 to 20 times to promote blood circulation. Your nursing staff can help you if you struggle to walk alone.
Summary: Take anticoagulant medication before surgery. Elevate your legs after surgery. Walk around after surgery.

Problem: Article: Feather meal is dried and ground chicken feathers. If you don't keep your own chickens, you can obtain feather meal from a local garden center. Measure out around 13 cup (79ml) of feather meal for each plant or 12 pounds (190oz) for every 1,000 square feet (93m2) of your garden. Mix it into your fertilizer of choice before spreading it over the soil. Crab meal is made from blue crab organs and shells, and can be obtained from a garden center. Distribute the crab meal (with fertilizer) across damp soil before running a tiller across the area. The crab meal will not only nourish your soil with plenty of nitrogen, but also protect your plants from being eaten by nematodes. Turn your tiller to its medium depth setting (if your soil is moist) or its most shallow depth setting (if your soil is hard). Move the tiller in straight lines all throughout your gardening area. Let the crab meal rest within the soil for anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. The nutrients will begin to break down and seep into the soil. Fish emulsion is ground up fish parts. Look for it at your local garden center. Add the fish emulsion to your soil on a monthly basis; make sure to distribute enough for it to soak into the soil. Alternatively, add it to a large amount of water and sprinkle it over your plants. You may want to cover your mouth and nose as you use fish emulsion; it has a very strong, unpleasant smell! Keep pets away from your fresh fertilizer if you use fish emulsion so they don't dig up your plants. Blood meal is dried animal blood. You can obtain it from your local garden center. While the idea of using blood meal to nourish your soil may sound gruesome, blood meal is actually rich with nitrogen. Blend the blood meal with water prior to using it, then distribute it with a simple watering can. Alternatively, you can sprinkle it in a hole in the soil before you plant your next crop.
Summary:
Mix feather meal with fertilizer and spread it during autumn. Work crab meal into your soil before planting your spring crops. Soak fish emulsion into your soil. Water your garden with blood meal.
