Q: For small cracks in the glass, apply several coats of clear nail polish directly over the damaged area. Wait until each coat dries before applying another. Note that this is only a temporary fix. The polish should seal the crack and prevent it from spreading for several months, but it will eventually wear off. Cracked window glass will need to be replaced. Cut a small strip of clear weather-seal tape and place it directly over the crack in the glass. The tape should last for several months and prevent air from flowing through the crack. As with nail polish, weather-seal tape should only be used as a temporary fix. You'll eventually need to replace the cracked window glass to prevent the crack from getting worse.
A: Paint the crack with nail polish. Use weather-seal tape.

Article: If you're not a fan of chunky salsa, your immersion blender can make a smooth version in a jiffy. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, and a little bit of salt and pepper to a tall, narrow stainless steel dish. Then move your immersion blender up and down until your ingredients are blended to your preference. Depending on your tastes, you'll have to determine how much of each ingredient to use. For example, if you like spicier salsa, you might want to add more jalapeno to the mix. You may want to add your tomatoes last to your mixing dish. This way, they'll be at the top and blend first. This will release liquid that will help blend the other ingredients. Keep your blender level when operating. Even in your mixing dish, tilting your blender on too much of an angle can cause foot to spatter and fly. Add basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and a little salt and pepper to a tall, narrow stainless steel mixing dish. Keep the blades of your blender level, and with an up-and-down motion, blend together the ingredients to make your pesto. A simple pesto recipe you might use: 2 cups packed with fresh basil leaves, 2 full cloves of garlic, cup of pine nuts, 2/3 of a cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Most hand blenders come with a beater attachment that'll allow you to mix smooth batter with ease. If your batter has a tendency to turn out lumpy, using your immersion blender to mix it should help prevent this. Making a smoothie in a full sized blender can result in more smoothie than one person can drink along with a considerable mess. Add frozen fruit, some yogurt, and enough juice to cover all the ingredients to a tall, narrow stainless steel mixing dish. Then, use your blender to mix all ingredients thoroughly. This normally time consuming activity can be ready in as few as five minutes when using an immersion blender. Add 2 egg yolks, 1 tsp lemon juice, tsp salt, and tsp dry mustard to a tall, narrow stainless steel mixing dish. Use your blender to combine these ingredients. Then add 1 cup of olive/canola oil a little bit at a time to the mixture while running your blender. Wait until added oil disappears completely before adding more oil to the mixture. As oil is absorbed, it will add to the mixture more easily. Once you've added half a cup of oil, you can add the remaining half in a steady stream. If the mayo turns out too thick for your liking, use your blender to mix in water 1 tsp at a time until you achieve your preferred consistency.

Problem: Article: As your dreads completely lock, you no longer need to hold them in place with rubber bands. Remove the rubber bands from the roots and the tips of the dreads after about 3 months. When your dreads have locked, they will appear tighter and less puffy than they did at first. You'll have fewer loose hairs, and your hair will start to grow into the locks. If you put bands near the scalp, you may need to cut them out with scissors, as hair has likely tangled in that area. Oils and residues on the scalp may keep the hair from locking properly, preventing it from knotting up with the rest of the dread. Keep the new growth clean and dry so it naturally becomes part of the rest of the dread. Mix 8 ounces (230g) apple cider vinegar with 16 ounces (450g) water. After you rinse out shampoo in the shower, pour the rinse over your scalp and massage it in. Wait a few minutes before rinsing it out. This will protect the dreadlocks from breakage and keep them moisturized. You can buy silk night caps at beauty stores or online. Alternatively, put your dreads up in a bun and wrap a silk scarf around them. In the morning, when you wake up, remove the cap and spray the dreads with your moisturizing spray.
Summary: Remove the rubber bands once your dreads have locked. Keep shampooing once a week. Condition the hair with an apple cider vinegar rinse twice a month. Cover your hair with a silk cap or scarf while you sleep.

Q: Some Italian restaurants offer whole pizzas as an appetizer for the table to share. If that's the case, you can grab a slice and hold or fold it to eat it. Try to stick to one slice until everyone in the table has gotten a piece. If you're wearing nice clothes and worried about dropping some toppings on yourself, you can use a fork and a knife to eat your pizza, as long as there are appetizer plates for you to set the slice on. In any formal dinner setting where pizza is the main entree, rest the slice on your plate and use the fork and knife to cut it into smaller pieces. Avoid picking up the slice with your hands, which can be unnecessarily messy. This will keep you from getting sauce and toppings on your clothes or face while eating, and is easier for talking while eating. In a formal dinner setting, if you don't know the proper etiquette for eating your food, you can always look to the host to see what's acceptable. When the pizza gets to the table, let the host take their piece first, which will give you time to make note of what they do. Try to avoid staring at them while they eat, which can be considered rude. Instead, focus on getting your pizza onto your plate and then glance at them to see how they're eating it. Depending on where you're from, the right way to eat pizza might be a controversial topic. If you're at dinner and someone is eating pizza differently than you would, avoid making comments about it. Follow the host's lead and eat the way they're eating to be polite. If someone makes a comment about the way that you eat pizza, take it in stride. Many people have strong opinions on the right way to eat a pizza because of where they're from. Just remember, all that matters is that you're enjoying the delicious slice in front of you!
A:
Eat an appetizer pizza by holding it if you're at a restaurant. Show your manners by eating pizza with a fork and knife if you're at a business meal. Follow the host's lead if you're unsure of how to eat your slice. Keep your pizza opinions personal to avoid conflict.
