Problem: Article: In the section above, a flat head screwdriver is recommended for prying the first few pieces out of the cube. This is a good choice, but it's far from the only tool you can use. Any sort of thin, stiff lever can be a big help. A few more suggestions are below: Spoons Butter knives Popsicle sticks Skinny wrenches or nails from your toolbox "Filleting" is a term that refers to sanding away at two faces that slide against each other. You can do this to the edges of the Rubik's Cube layers that are in contact with each other to open a very small gap between the pieces. This will make the pieces a little easier to take apart (as well as put back together). Use caution with this method. Sanding too much will give the cube a much "looser" feel once it's put back together. Pieces may even fall out on their own. Adding a little Vaseline (or a similar lubricant) between the cube's rotating layers will make them easier to remove. When reassembled, they will slide past each other much more loosely (just as with the filleting method above). However, this method has the added benefit of not making it more likely that your Rubik's Cube will fall apart in the long run. See our main article on reassembling a Rubik's Cube for detailed instructions. The basic process is as follows: Start by putting the edge pieces back for the bottom layer (not the corner pieces). Match each edge piece with the center pieces remaining on the frame like colors should touch. Now, add the corner pieces to the bottom layer. Again, like colors should touch. Add the corner pieces to the middle layer (the middle edge pieces are already held in place by the central frame. Build the top layer one row at a time. Once you have one row finished, turn the top layer 45 degrees (just like you did when you were taking the cube apart. The last piece you add should be a middle edge piece.
Summary: Use a different lever if you don't have a flat head. Fillet the cube's edges. Use Vaseline. Put the cube back together starting with the edge pieces.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place 1 1/2 cups (270 g) of dry quinoa into a mesh strainer and rinse it for 2 minutes. Place the rinsed quinoa in a large pot and with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 3 cups (705 ml) of water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the quinoa simmer, boil lightly, for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and let the quinoa cool completely. You'll know the quinoa is cooked when it has absorbed most of the water. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork after it has cooled slightly. Mix together the ingredients for a light dressing in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together the following ingredients and then add salt and pepper to taste: cup (120 ml) of extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar 2 garlic cloves, pressed teaspoon of dried basil teaspoon of dried thyme Drain a jar of roasted red peppers and chop enough to make cup (60 g). Place it in a large serving bowl along with the other vegetables and cheese. You'll need to slice and add cup (134 g) of pitted kalamata olives, cup (50 g) of crumbled feta cheese, and cup (6 g) of basil that you slice thinly. If you don't have the time to prep all of these ingredients, you can substitute a purchased salad mixture and add shredded cheese of your choice. Add your cooled quinoa to the bowl of vegetables and cheese. You should also stir in 3 cups (64 g) of arugula and 1 15-ounce can (420 g) of drained garbanzo beans. Stir the quinoa salad to combine all of the ingredients. You could also substitute the kale or frisee for the arugula. Pour the Mediterranean dressing over the quinoa salad and toss it gently. Try to coat all of the ingredients with some of the dressing. You can garnish the salad with extra slivers of basil or more crumbled feta. Serve the salad at room temperature and refrigerate any leftovers. Keep in mind that the arugula will wilt if you refrigerate it for several days. If you're going to make this salad in advance, try to make it the same day you plan on serving it.

SUMMARY: Cook the quinoa. Mix the Mediterranean dressing. Chop the vegetables and cheese. Combine the Mediterranean quinoa salad. Season and serve the salad.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before washing an item that has pet stains on it, remove any large pieces of feces or vomit. Getting a large amount of the waste off of the item before washing it will make the washing easier. You should use a flat tool, such as a butter knife, to lightly scrape the waste off your item. If your pet goes to the bathroom or vomits on something that can be laundered, it's best to rinse it out with cold water as soon as you see the issue. Getting some of the mess off the surface before laundering it will make the laundering more successful. If the fabric is strong and can take some scrubbing, such as a pair of jeans, scrub the stained area a little while running cold water over it. If the item is delicate, like a silk blouse, focus more on running water over it and letting it soak a little. If the stained item has care instructions, as many clothes do, be sure to consult them before attempting to remove the stain. Put the item in your washing machine and add the normal amount of detergent. Be sure to set the temperature setting to cold, as a warm or hot wash could set the stain before it has a chance to remove it. If you think the stain has really gotten into the item you are cleaning and it can be bleached, add bleach to your laundry cycle. If your item says it cannot be washed in a washing machine, you will need to wash it by hand or take it to be dry cleaned. Once the washing machine has gone through its whole cycle, pull the item you are cleaning out and hang it up to dry. Machine drying the fabric will cause the stain to set if it was not removed in your first washing attempt. In order to know if the stain is completely gone, you need to let the fabric dry completely. If the stain did not come out the first time, you should get an enzymatic cleaner that can be used in the washing machine. Enzymatic cleaners are specially formulated for removing organic stains, such as pet urine and feces. These cleaners are commonly sold in pet supply stores. Run the machine with your stained fabric and the enzymatic cleaner on a cold temperature again.
Summary: Lift off any solid waste. Rinse out the soiled area. Wash the fabric in the washing machine with cold water. Allow the fabric to air dry. Use an enzymatic cleaner if the stain is still there.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: At this traditional ceremony celebrated by Native Americans, a totem pole was erected and blessed as attendants danced and sang. The host of the ceremony gave a gift to all in attendance, knowing that someday the favor would be returned. The pole-raising is followed by a big feast and party. If you want to celebrate the meaning of your totem pole, you can have a ceremony of your own. Using the symbols on your totem pole as illustrations, tell the story of the person, family or event for whom you made the totem pole. Describe the meaning behind each symbol, and how it relates to the story you're telling. Keep the totem pole as a reminder of the little piece of history it represents.
