INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you haven't purchased a mattress in a while, it's good to see what options are available before going to a store. Check prices online to see what you feel is reasonable based on what is being offered. Mattress brands are often coming out with new styles of mattresses including ones that offer adjustable firmness levels and temperatures. Decide how high-tech you want your mattress to be, as some of these may only be available at specialty stores or online. Look up what special features may be offered by each mattress brand including a trial period or money-back guarantee. If desired, you can print this information to bring to the store with you. Although this is difficult to determine without first testing mattresses, a few physical factors can help direct your decision. If you have back problems, consider a medium-firm to firm mattress choice. These are best for supporting your lower back and reducing back pain. Pillow-top mattresses are best for people who aren't too light, as they won't have enough weight to suppress the top and the springs to a point that it makes a difference in comfort. Larger people typically find pillow-top mattresses more comfortable for this reason. Ignore the spring count that is given as proof for a mattress' supposed quality and firmness or softness. Studies have shown that the number of springs doesn't actually affect how comfortable the mattress is. Nothing is worse than finding and purchasing your perfect mattress, just to realize you can't fit it in your house. Check your space availability in your bedroom, and then decide on a size of mattress to fit. Twin mattresses are the smallest size, and measure on average 39"/75". The next largest size after a twin mattress is a full or double mattress, which measures at 54"/75". The queen sized mattress is the most commonly purchased by couples for its size and relative price. It measures at 60"/80". King size bed is the largest standard sized mattress available. It is 76"/80". Some mattress brands and stores offer an extra large bed called the California king, which measures at 72"/84". Be sure the mattress size you intend to purchase not only fits inside your bedroom, but also through all doors used to enter the room. Typically, specialty mattress stores will have more informed salespeople and information on mattresses than a generic furniture store. Be sure that where you choose to buy has a good reputation and helpful employees.

SUMMARY: Visit mattress websites to see what's offered. Decide on a level of firmness. Measure the space you plan to put the bed. Find a store(s) to shop at.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most water bottles made of metal, stainless steel, and glass are dishwasher safe. Check the label on the bottle to make sure it is safe to put in the dishwasher. If the water bottle is made of plastic, it may not be dishwasher safe. Putting it in the dishwasher can warp or damage the plastic. Place the water bottle in the dishwasher, separating the lid from the bottle. Put the bottle on the dishwashing rack upside down, with the mouth facing downward. Run the bottle through the dishwasher on the gentle or normal cycle. The cycle should include a drying phase, where the bottle is dried well in the dishwasher. To avoid the buildup of germs and bacteria, get in the habit of cleaning the bottle every few days. Run the water bottle through the dishwasher every few days or at the end of every day, especially if you use it on a daily basis. This will help to keep the bottle clean and ensure you are drinking fresh, germ free water every day.

SUMMARY: Check that the bottle is dishwasher safe. Put the bottle in the dishwasher. Clean the bottle regularly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This step is optional, but many pistachio eaters love to absorb the salty exterior of the nut shell before they crack open the meat within. Put the whole pistachio into your mouth, and let your mouth absorb the salt. Remove from your mouth once the taste subsides. You can also suck on the shells after you have separated them from the nut. This way, you can simply spit out the shell out into the garbage once you've finished sucking it. Once you've removed the shell, the pistachio is ready to consume. You can eat the pistachio raw, or you can add it to a larger dish. The pistachio nut is relatively soft and oblong. The color should be some combination of green, brown, and purple. Do not worry if the nut skin appears blotchy and mottled this is normal!. Once you have shelled each pistachio, eat the nut and place the nutshell into a discard pile. This might be your hand, or a cup holder, or a separate bowl. If you scatter the shells back in with the unopened pistachios, they will get in the way when you try to eat more of the nuts.

SUMMARY: Suck on the pistachio shell. Eat the nut. Discard the shells in a separate bowl.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use the hardware supplied in your spotlight kit to mount the light in the location of your choosing. If it was designed to be mounted on your roof, it may have come with a strip of weather proofing material to prevent water from leaking through your roof where the holes are drilled. If it did not, you may want to put silicone in and around the holes as you bolt the light into place to create a waterproof seal. If you choose to mount the light on your mirror, you will not need to use any weather proofing. Mounting a spotlight on a light bar or otherwise attached bracket will also require no drilling or weather proofing. Secure the switch on your dashboard in place by drilling a hole through the trim and sliding the switch through it from behind. This will leave only the switch visible, with the rest behind the trim. Place the screw on cap over the switch, with the switch itself sticking out through it, then screw it in place to hold the switch against the trim. If you choose to use a button instead of a switch, it will mount in the same way. Ensure the switch is someplace easy to access without looking to be able to use the light while you drive. Run a black wire from one of the three prongs on the switch to a bolt on the body or frame of the vehicle just as you grounded the relay under the hood. Make a loop with the exposed end of the wire and wrap it around a bolt. Tighten the bolt back into place once completed. The switch needs its own ground and power source to function properly. Locate the fuse box on the driver's side of the cabin of your vehicle. Identify a fuse that powers an electronic device that only functions when the vehicle is running, such as the radio, headlights or turn signals. Remove the fuse and insert and "add-a-circuit" or standard blade fuse holder with a wired pigtail hanging off that you can connect the wire from the switch. This will prevent the spotlight from working when the vehicle is not running. Be sure to put a fuse in the fuse holder to power the switch. Check the instructions for the spotlight and ensure you use a fuse rated for the amperage needed for the light to function. With everything wired, reconnect the battery and tuck the wiring away so it isn't visible. Use zip ties under your dashboard to secure any extra wire up beneath the dash so you can't accidentally catch it with your feet or a pedal. Run any wiring on the exterior of your vehicle along edges until you can tuck it under or between panels of the body to keep it from being visible. Reconnect the battery and test your new spotlight. If the light fails to turn on, ensure none of the wires have been pulled off their terminals or been crimped to interrupt the flow of electricity.

SUMMARY:
Drill the mounting holes for the spotlight. Mount the switch in the dashboard. Ground the switch. Run a wire from the switch to a switched power source. Tuck up and secure the wiring.
