INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you go to the trouble of logging in and making a Gamertag for yourself, save yourself time by checking to see whether it's already taken. There are a few sites that allow you to do this online. A basic search engine query should reveal several. For example, this site works well. In online games, clans are essentially "clubs" that avid gamers can join to play with people they know. Often, players advertise their clan membership by putting the name of their clan at the beginning of their username. This can also help you get a name that's already taken odds are, the version with the clan name at the front is free.

Be sure to follow the directions!

Don't squeeze too hard. If the wound doesn't bleed with some gentle pressure, just leave it alone. You can use other methods to clean away germs and bacteria, including an antibacterial ointment. Flushing the wound out with warm water for at least a minute will help clean the area. If the splinter continues to bleed after squeezing it or is bleeding on its own, then you can control the bleeding by placing pressure on the area. This can help prevent significant blood loss and shock. Bleeding from a minor wound should stop within a few minutes. If you are bleeding excessively, or the bleeding won't stop, then seek medical attention right away. Wash the splinter wound with soap and warm water after you've removed the splinter from your skin. This will help to clean away any lingering bacteria and germs left in the wound. After you are done, you may also want to apply an anti-bacterial ointment. Apply an antibacterial ointment to the area up to twice per day. This can minimize the risk of infection to the affected area. You can purchase an antibiotic ointment such as bacitracin, neomycin, or polymyxin B. Many brands will put the three into one product and call it "triple antibiotic ointment." After the bleeding has stopped and the wound is clean, you may want to cover the area to prevent bacteria from getting into the wound. You can secure a piece of gauze with some medical tape or apply a bandage to the injured area. A bandage may also add some pressure to help control bleeding.

SUMMARY: Squeeze the wound gently. Control any bleeding. Disinfect the area. Bandage the wound.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're used to wearing flats, you might be accustomed to putting your whole foot down at once with each step. Shoes with high heels need a different movement. Imagine yourself gently setting your heel down, then letting your toes settle after. This will keep you from stomping. You're already leaning back a bit, but when you take your first steps in your heels, imagine yourself being led by the hips, not by the shoulders. This will also help to further enhance your posture. No need to pull your shoulders back too much--this is a subtle movement. When you walk, imagine that you're walking on a tightrope or a straight line. Place the heel of each foot directly in front the toes of the other. If you keep your feet apart when you're walking, you end up with a bit of a waddle. If you cross your feet over too much, you might look a little tipsy. To add to the straight-line visual, focus on your goal and simply walk toward it. This may keep you more naturally focused than you would be staring at your feet. Long loping strides are not going to look graceful. For most, a higher heel means a shorter step. Experiment until you find a step length that comes naturally to you, and then practice until it becomes part of your muscle memory. Some find it helpful to watch videos of models walking for inspiration. Heels are known for being attractive not just because they make you taller--they also encourage your hips to move more than they might in flats. Don't fight the swing! If you're trying to figure out how to replicate a high-heel swagger, try subtly moving your hips in a figure-8 pattern. Take your time. Your heels are great, and with some confidence and practice, you're sure to look great in them. However, they're just not built for running, so try to walk with a measured step if you can. This will make you look more purposeful, too. Practice! Wear your heels around the house to get them used to your shape, but also to get you used to theirs. Check yourself out in the mirror, or ask a cool friend for feedback. Be aware of how you are walking until your heel-wearing gait becomes natural to you--which it will.

SUMMARY: Move heel to toe. Lead with the pelvis. Put one foot in front of the other. Walk with shorter steps. Let your hips swing. Don't rush. Watch yourself.
