Q: your car when you're ready to start. Getting the car off the ground will give you easier access to the bleeder screws. Be especially cautious that the wheels are blocked and on stands before getting underneath the vehicle. After parking on a flat surface and chocking the wheels, use the jack at each tire (making sure they jack is on the frame, not the paneling). Place a jack stand under the frame after lifting each section to keep the car in the air. Have your assistant get into the car now before you get underneath the car. That way if any rocking occurs, you will both be safe. You can use an alternative spacer, if necessary. This will prevent the pedal from traveling too close to the floor as you begin to bleed the brakes. This is needed so you do not bottom out pistons in the master cylinder and cause internal master cylinder leakage. Using a piece of clear plastic tubing (aquarium tubing works fine), push one end of the tube over the brake bleeder bolt. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit, but it will help keep things cleaner if it is. You only need about 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76mm) of brake fluid in the jar. This will keep air from being sucked back into the brake cylinder or lines. You can also see air bubbles as the air is flushed from the lines. If you do not see air bubbles, don't worry. They may be dispersing somewhere else. At the very least, you will be clearing the old brake fluid out. Call "down" to your assistant who then presses the brake pedal, holds it, and call "down" back. The force should be equivalent to coming to a slow stop at a stop sign. The calling back and forth will ensure you are both certain that the brake is pressed or not when it needs to be. Old fluid and air will go down the tubing into the bottle. You will be able to see the trickle down the line and into the jar. Note: Warn your helper that the brake pedal they are pressing down will sink down as you unlock the bleeder bolt a quarter turn. This is perfectly natural, and your helper needs to keep pressure until it stops and hold it down. Just like you opened it, but in reverse, turn the valve a quarter turn to the right. Closing the valve now ensures that while the pressure is pushing outward, nothing is going to be sucked back into the line when the brake is released. Call "up" to your helper, who now will lift off the brake and call "up" back to you. This completes one cycle of bleeding that particular line. Your brakes are a little closer to being cleared and clean. It can take up to 8 or 10 cycles to fully clear the line, especially for the further away tires. After every 5 or 6 times through the cycle, top off the master cylinder reservoir with fresh fluid.Never let the reservoir get too low, or air will be sucked into the master cylinder. Move to the next furthest wheel from the reservoir and repeat the process with your partner. Be sure to bleed the brakes at all 4 tires. If you only do a few, you may only move the air bubbles to a different line or section.
A: Jack up Put a 1 by 4in (25 by 102mm) piece of lumber under the brake pedal. Hook a tube to the bleeder bolt of the tire furthest from the reservoir. Put the other end of the tube into a jar filled with clean brake fluid. Have your helper press and hold the brake. Turn the bleeder bolt to the left one quarter-turn. Close the bleeder valve when the trickling stops. Ask your helper to release the brake. Repeat this process until new, clear fluid comes from the bleeder tube. Repeat the process on the other brakes.

Q: If you or someone you know is being bullied, talk to someone you trust, such as a coach, teacher, parent, or guidance counselor. Tell them what is going on so you can get some help with the situation. Some schools even have programs set up specifically designed to deal with bullying. Bullying is when someone is humiliated, made fun of, or abused over time by their peers. It's not just getting in an argument or even someone calling someone else bad names. It's not just a single incident, but an ongoing campaign against a person. Getting into a fight can get you into serious trouble, even if you didn't start it. Many schools have a zero-tolerance policy for violence, and you could be expelled from school or worse. If they continue to come after you, turn to face them, but maintain your distance. Keep them at arm's length at all times, as if they get closer, they can tackle or punch you. In some areas, you can even be charged with a crime, particularly if you're 17 or 18, depending on the legal age you become an adult in your state. Don't glare at them or stare at the ground. Rather, hold their gaze and show them you have confidence. If you show aggression, you can egg them on. If you show vulnerability, they may want to start the fight even more. Starting a fight can get you in even more trouble than just defending yourself. Once you throw that punch, you never know how things are going to turn out. You could be seriously injured, ending up with broken teeth or even a concussion, or you could injure someone else just as badly. No matter what happens, whether you win or lose, you're still going to lose because there will be consequences. Try to find another way than throwing a punch. Walk away or find some help. Some people will only fight you if there are no witnesses around, particularly if there are no teachers to see it. Yell as loud as you can to get people to come to your aid. If people arrive, you may not need to fight. Try yelling, "Fire," "Help!" or "Call 911."
A: Report bullying when it happens. Walk away from the fight to avoid getting into trouble. Look the person in the eye with confidence. Avoid throwing the first punch. Get the attention of people nearby to help squash the fight.

Q: When picking up food with your chopsticks, make sure the ends do not cross over one another and make an "X". This will make it very difficult to pick up food. If your chopsticks cross at the ends, you're gripping your food too tightly. Let go of the food and try to grab it again more gently.
A: Avoid letting the chopsticks cross while grasping food.

Q: To do your best, you'll want to concentrate on the moment. But, you can also find small ways to take mental breaks as well. While you are running, pay attention to the environment around you. Try to focus on the spectators on the sidelines of your marathon. Or, perhaps keep your focus on the trees or greenery. This will take your mind off your discomfort. If you are not in pain due to an acute injury, then you can generally compartmentalize the negative sensations connected with pain, thus minimizing its power over you. Don't give pain more power than it should have. If you experience discomfort, start to think about all of the ways that pain can be good. For example, muscles are often sore or in pain before they regenerate even stronger. Just be aware of your body and know how to differentiate "true" pain, such as shin splits, from "false" pain, such as muscle soreness. If you know that you are suffering from an injury, such as shin splits, then it is a good idea to modify your training regimen. You may need to run for shorter periods of time or distances. Try to develop a plan to build back up to your desired goals, but realize that you will need to be realistic about what your body can, and can't, do when injured. There are some moments when pain and discomfort must be taken seriously. If you feel a sharp pain in your shin or hips, it is best to slow or stop running. If you start to experience tightness in your chest or severe stomach pains, stop and seek out help as well. When in doubt, trust your instincts and err on the side of caution. If you suspect that you are injured or if you are experiencing noticeable pain when running, it may be a good idea to talk with your physician. Explain your running routine and ask them for advice regarding potential modifications. View your visit as an opportunity to learn more about your body in order to maximize its potential.
A:
Find a focal point outside of yourself. Disconnect pain from injury. Be careful when injured. Respond quickly to serious physical warning signs. Consult with a doctor.
