article: On days that are marked by tragic loss, mourning, or solemn remembrance of past events, flags shouldn't be flown at the top of flag poles. Instead, the flag should be flown halfway up the pole as a sign of sadness and respect - this is called flying a flag at "half-mast" or "half-staff." In the event of a national tragedy or the death of a prominent member of the government, the president may issue an executive order mandating that government buildings fly their flags at half mast - on these days, you should fly your own flag in the same way. You might also consider flying your flag at half-mast on the following dates: Memorial Day (until noon.) Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (December 7) Patriot Day (September 11) The flag should never be used or displayed in a way that makes it seem unimportant. When accompanied by other flags, it should never be flown in a way that shows subservience to the other flags. Above all, treat the flag as the revered symbol of liberty that it is. When handling a U.S. flag, never: Dip it for any person or thing, even though state flags, regimental colors and other flags may be dipped as a mark of honor. (See Tips = Salute) Display it with the union down, except as a signal of distress. Let the flag touch anything beneath it: ground, floor, water, merchandise. Fasten or display it in a way that will permit it to be damaged or soiled. Place or write anything on the flag, including letters, insignia, or designs of any kind. Use it for holding anything. Use it as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. Use it on a costume or athletic uniform (however, a flag patch may be attached to the uniform of patriotic organizations, military personnel, police officers and firefighters). Use the flag for advertising or promotion purposes or print it on paper napkins, boxes or anything else intended for temporary use and discard. Use it for decoration of any kind. Use bunting of red, white and blue stripes instead. Use it for advertising. Damaging or destroying the flag through intentional burning, ripping, trampling, staining, or mutilation is supremely disrespectful. Though amendments to the U.S. Constitution dealing with flag desecration have been proposed many times, none has ever passed both houses of Congress. This does not mean that it's OK to desecrate the flag. Don't defile the American flag as an act of protest or satire - you may find the actions and policies of the U.S. government to be immoral, but the flag itself, as a symbol of the values of liberty and justice upon which the nation was founded, is never deserving of disrespect, even if you think the nation hasn't lived up to these values. Though an individual's right to free speech is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, flag desecration is widely (and deservedly) reviled in the U.S. and is usually subject to punishment by state governments. The U.S. Flag Code does not advocate any sorts of penalties for flag-related misconduct. That decision is left to the States (and, in the case of the District of Columbia, to the Federal Government.) Almost every state has a law or ordinance that prohibits defacing the flag through burning, trampling, or mutilation. Usually, this crime is defined as a misdemeanor and is punished with a fine, short jail time, community service, etc. However, in Illinois and Kansas, flag desecration can be ruled as a felony. Other states like Vermont, Oklahoma, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Arkansas have especially harsh penalties (jail time of a year or more,) though the enforcement of these laws varies. In Montana, flag desecration is technically punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Finally, two states, Wyoming and Alaska, have effectively no laws against flag desecration. Wyoming does have a clause in its flag code discouraging desecration of the state and national flags, but no legal penalties exist.

article: Smile and be polite. You don't have to make a grand gesture because it will make her feel uncomfortable especially if other people see. Come up with one or two sentences and wait for her response. Speak from the heart and look into her eyes. Say something similar to "I really have fun with you and was wondering if we could hang out more?" or "We laugh all the time and I have such a great time hanging out. I was wondering if you'd go out with me?" Don't stare at the floor or read from a paper. Keep your emotions in check. If she says no, don't get angry and yell or prod. If she says yes, embrace her, smile, and plan out your date. Let her see your enthusiasm but don't go overboard to embarrass her. If she says no, that isn't the end of the world. Not only are there other girls you can meet but you also want to show her that you are mature. She may say no because she's embarrassed and not ready to have a boyfriend yet. She may ask you out later. Don't damage anything or lash out at her if you get rejected. She is entitled to her feelings. Middle school will often have several dances throughout the year. They are a great way to go out with her in a social setting as she expects to be asked out. This relieves any pressure. The vibe in a dance is more suited for you two to get to know each other as more than just friends. It may be difficult to hang out with her amidst all your friends watching and wanting to hang out. Make sure to have at least one or two dances to be alone together or schedule a time for a walk to just talk. If you are very nervous and find it overwhelming to talk to her, you may write her a note to get your thoughts and feelings organized. Make sure you give it to her directly so she knows it's from you and not a prank. Don't give it to her during class or the teacher may make you read it out loud. Don't be nervous about rejection because you won't see her reaction. You may ask her to respond with a note or a simple yes or no. No one is closer than her friends. They will know how best to approach her. Be friendly to them and ask them how you should ask her. As a final attempt, you may ask them to ask her on your behalf. You may also ask your own friends to ask her if they know her better or are more confident with you. Just make sure you rehearse what to say so that your friend is clear. Face-to-face conversations may be difficult so pick up the phone and call her. You may also text her but sometimes it's difficult to get the meaning across. Make sure you have an activity in mind before asking her out this way. You also have to get her number from her friends or directly from her so she'll probably know why you're contacting her. While you don't have to give her something expensive, a thoughtful gift may put you in her good graces. You may give her a cool notebook, a fun pen, a CD, or candy or chocolates. You may also place a note with your gifts so that she knows how you feel. Give the gift directly to her because if you give it to someone else, she may think it's from her and not from you. You may also try to give her her favourite treat. This shows that you have paid attention to her needs and want to make her happy.

Attach the top, middle part of the Magic Mesh first. Continue sticking the rest of the mesh to your door frame. Reinforce the mesh with tacks if you have a wooden door frame. Test the Magic Mesh screen."

Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the surface of your door frame. Grime can prevent the adhesive strips from sticking to the door frame. Allow the frame to air dry naturally before installing the Magic Mesh screen. Use a measuring tape to measure the height of the door frame. Taking into account the length of the Magic Mesh, calculate whether or not the mesh will drag on the ground. With a pencil, mark the point you need to hang the top of the mesh to prevent it from touching the ground. Use a measuring tape to measure the width of your door frame. Note that measurement, then divide it in half to determine where the middle of the door is. Mark the center point with a pencil. Remove the backings of the adhesive strips that you placed at the halfway point on top of your Magic Mesh. Line up the top of the mesh with the line you marked on top of your door frame. Attach this part of the mesh to the frame. After attaching the top part of your Magic Mesh, continue around the perimeter of the door. Start with the top of the Magic Mesh, moving out towards one side of the door and then the other. Continue down each side of the door frame, making sure that the mesh hangs evenly. For added security, reinforce the Magic Mesh by inserting tacks around the perimeter of the door frame. Put the tacks through the mesh, above or below the adhesive strips. Push the tacks into the wooden frame. This step is only applicable if you have a wooden door frame. Omit this step if you are installing your Magic Mesh around any other type of door. Test out your Magic Mesh screen by walking through the center of it several times. The magnets should split apart as you walk through them and close back together once you leave the doorway. If the screen does not work as designed, you may need to reinstall it, moving the panels closer or further apart as necessary.
