Article: Start with 1 tbsp (15 grams) of butter and 1 tbsp (9 grams) of flour and add more as needed. Soften the butter by placing it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds at a time. Do not melt the butter completely. You can mix the butter and flour with a fork until it's smooth. Use your fingers to knead the mixture until it has formed a paste. You can make larger amounts of beurre mani in a food processor and store the balls in the freezer. Bring them to room temperature before use. Once you have thoroughly mixed in the beurre mani balls, return the sauce to a boil and cook it for at least 1 minute. Add in another beurre ball until you get your desired thickness. Beurre mani is great to use for a sauce that has already been prepared but needs some added thickness. This works really well in pan sauces for shrimp scampi, turkey, or soups.

Mix equal parts of softened butter and flour in a small bowl. Knead the mixture and roll the paste into teaspoon-sized amounts. Whisk in 1 ball at a time to your simmering sauce.
Article: Before you start soaking your brushes, make sure you try to remove as much paint as you can. You can do this with a brush cleaning tool or with a plastic hair comb. Just make sure that you aren't pulling too forcefully, as this can cause some of the bristles to loosen and fall from the brush. Any typical fabric softener will work. Pour a cup of fabric softener for every gallon of water. For example, if you are using a 5-gallon bucket, then you would use two and a half cups of fabric softener. Of course, if you are only softening one or two brushes, you definitely won't need 5-gallons worth. Fabric softener is better than dish soap because it lowers the surface tension between liquids and solids, which means it makes water "wetter." Taking one brush at a time, swirl them in the fabric softener/water mixture. You want to put them into the solution up to the ferrule and then flick them back and forth quickly, counting to ten. The paint should dislodge from the bristles and fall to the bottom of the bucket. Once the paint is clear, set the brushes aside to dry.

Scrape off any excess paint. Mix fabric softener and water in a large bucket. Swish your brush/brushes through the mixture.
Article: To get diagnosed with CIDP, you need to see a physician. This should be done when you notice tingling or numbness in your body or any motor function problems. The doctor will perform an exam and discuss your symptoms with you. Start keeping track of your symptoms as soon as you notice them. CIDP is only diagnosed after eight weeks of symptoms. Be as honest and detailed with your symptoms as possible. CIDP is similar in some ways to several other disorders. The more your doctor knows about your symptoms, the easier it will be to distinguish one disorder from another. Be prepared to tell your doctor what symptoms you have, where in the body you feel them, what makes them worse, and what makes them better. Your doctor may perform a neurological examination to rule out related conditions or gather additional information to confirm CIDP. During a neurological examination, your doctor will probably check your reflexes since a lack of reflexes is a common symptom of CIDP. Your doctor may also test different parts of your body to check for numbness or your ability to feel pressure or touch sensation. You may also have to do a coordination test. The doctor may check your muscle strength, muscle tone, and posture. Your doctor may order several tests to confirm CIDP there is no one test that can confirm the diagnosis.You may need to get a nerve conduction test or electromyography (EMG). These tests look for slow nerve function or abnormal electrical activity that signals nerve damage. The nerves are stimulated and checked to see if they are damaged. Then, the muscles are tested to see if the muscle or nerve is the cause of the problem. These tests can help the doctor find damaged or missing myelin along the nerves. Myelin is a sheath around nerves that helps control electrical impulses. An MRI may be done to look for enlargement of the nerve roots or inflammation. Your doctor may perform additional tests to make sure there is nothing else causing your symptoms. A spinal fluid analysis will show if you have elevated protein levels or an elevated cell count, which both point to CIDP. Blood and urine tests may also be conducted to rule out other conditions.
