Q: Pour a small bag of frozen raspberries into a pot. Cook on medium heat until they start to melt. Add in 1/2 cup of sugar and stir. Reduce to low heat. Let the mixture simmer as you start the pancakes, checking it every few minutes. Once you notice the compote is syrupy, you can taste test it. If they are too tart, you can add another tablespoon of sugar until it is sweet enough for you. Remove from heat and sit aside when it is done. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make sure there are no lumps. Crack the eggs in a medium bowl. Pour in the sugar and whisk them together until combined. Then pour in the milk and whisk them all together until combined. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Pour in some of the wet ingredients. Whisk them together. Continue to add the wet ingredients a little at a time, continuing to whisk as you do. Melt the butter in a pan. Pour the melted butter into the batter. Stir gently with a spoon until it is combined with the batter. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle pan on medium heat. Coat the pan in nonstick cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes. You should see bubbles forming on the top of the batter. Flip the pancake and cook for 1 more minute. The pancake should be lightly golden brown on both sides. Then remove it from the pan. Continue with the rest of the batter. Serve with a generous helping of raspberry compote pour on top of the pancakes. This batter is made to serve four people. While you are cooking the rest of the pancakes, keep the cooked pancakes on a plate in a 200 degree oven to keep them warm.
A: Make the compote. Sift the dry ingredients. Combine the ingredients. Add the butter. Cook the pancakes.

Q: This is very important as it will allow the water from collecting in the bottom and growing stagnant. If your bottle has a segmented bottom (ie: most 2-liter soda bottles), you will need to poke a hole in each segment. The bottom of most bottles is typically made from thicker plastic. You will need to use a drill or a hot nail to do this. The hole needs to be deep enough to insert the bottle about two-thirds of the way, or where the straight walls start to curve into a dome. If you places the holes on one side of the bottle, rotate the bottle until the holes face the plant. Gently pat the soil around the bottle.
A: Poke holes in the bottom of the bottle. Dig a hole into the soil next to the plant. Insert the bottle into the soil.

Q: These symptoms are common early in your pregnancy and can last up to 16 weeks. It's important to try to still eat and drink despite any nausea or morning sickness. Rather than tuck in for a big meal, eat small healthy snacks throughout the day to keep your nausea in check. This will also help improve your digestion and reduce any heartburn you may be feeling while pregnant. Keep crackers, fruits (berries, plums, and bananas are all easy to eat fruits), low-fat yogurt packs, pre made smoothies (with no additives or preservatives) and protein snacks on hand for quick, easy to prepare snacks. Sipping water throughout the day will ensure you stay hydrated. Though you may end up running to the bathroom every five minutes, drinking lots of water will help with your babies' blood flow and waste removal. You should drink about 10 cups (2.3) liters of water each day while pregnant. You can confirm you are well hydrated by looking at your pee; it will be pale in color if your body is hydrated. Try to drink more water earlier in the day and then reduce your water intake after 8 pm. This will allow you to sleep longer at night without having to get up constantly to use the bathroom. You can have some caffeine while pregnant. Limit it to 200mg a day -- about two cups of brewed coffee. Avoid higher intakes than this, as high caffeine intake during pregnancy is associated with infant health problems. Avoid consuming caffeine at the same time as you take iron supplements or eat foods that contain iron, as caffeine may interfere with iron absorption. Wait to eat for at least an hour after having a cup of coffee. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption while pregnant. As your babies grow, they will put pressure on your bowels. Your gut will also need to slow down its digestion process to absorb all the vitamins and minerals you are consuming. So you will likely experience constipation when pregnant, and will need to consume high fiber foods to help your gut digest. If you experience constipation, eat more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and bran based cereals throughout the day. You should also do light exercise like walking and gentle stretching to keep your bowels regular and stimulate your digestive system. Twin pregnancies have an increased risk of preeclampsia. In this condition, the mother has increased blood pressure, protein in her urine, and more swelling than normal in pregnancy. Swelling is especially pronounced in the face and hands. Rapid weight gain and headaches are possible symptoms for preeclampsia and require immediate examination by your obstetrician. Your obstetrician will treat your symptoms based on the severity of your condition. She may recommend bed rest and medication for less severe cases, or the immediate delivery of the babies, which is the only "cure" for preeclampsia, for more severe cases. You should be aware that the recommended weight gain for twins is more than for a single pregnancy. Healthy women with a normal BMI before pregnancy should gain between 37-54 pounds during a twin pregnancy, as opposed to between 25-35 pounds for a single pregnancy. Your doctor will recommend a weight gain that's appropriate for you. Twins have an increased chance of being born early or preterm. If you experience any bleeding or vaginal discharge, diarrhea, pressure in your pelvis or lower back, and contractions that become more frequent and close together, you should notify your doctor or obstetrician. Even if you may not be going through pre term labor, it's important to address these symptoms for the safety of your babies.
A: Have healthy snacks to help with nausea and sickness. Drink enough fluids. Eat foods high in fiber to help with constipation. See your doctor if you experience rapid weight gain or frequent headaches. Talk to your doctor if you experience any preterm symptoms.

Q: This is what your bow will be shaped from. It needs to be at the length that you want your bow to be, and it should be made from a wood that is strong, flexible, and malleable. Hickory, yew, lemonwood, and maple are all good woods to use when making a bow. A hatchet, vice grip, bow shaping frame, tillering stick, large file, heat gun, a few screw clamps, and a draw knife will make the process far easier than just using a knife and a large, round object. Make an outline of the limbs and arrow rest of your bow with a pen. Stand the stave up in one hand, and with the other, swing your hatchet. Make the stave as smooth on the sides as you can. You can decide the specifics (flat limbs, wide or narrow limbs) on your own. Mark out where you want your handle to be. Make sure it will bend by putting the bottom tip against your instep, holding the upper tip with one hand, and pulling the back (side facing away from you while shooting) towards you. Don't do this too much, as it could damage your stave. After you have gotten your bow into an outline with the hatchet, you shape the limbs. Place the handle section of your stave in the vice, and tighten it. Make sure the back is facing upwards. Take the draw knife, and draw it along the stave in long strokes. Do this until your stave is at the thickness that you want your bow to be. Sand down any rough edges in the stave. Making your bow too thin will cause it to break.
A:
Buy or make a wooden stave. Gather your tools. Mark the outline. Test your stave. Form the limbs.
