article: Find an open space that you will not be inhibited by furniture or other obstacles. The space needs to be about 5 feet wide and 11 feet long. Don't get distracted by furniture or obstacles along the throwing path. Try to keep the area clear so you can easily retrieve the darts after each throw. Keep in mind that you will also need space for spectators and players. Make space right beside the board for a scoreboard so that it is easily in sight for everyone enjoying the game. Depending on your budget, you may not have the opportunity to create custom floors for your darts. Keep in mind that different materials can easily damage your darts or generally fade from general play. Ideally, use a dart mat, which is a roll out rubber mat specifically designed to protect your floors, protect your darts from dulling, and mark the proper distance from the throw line. Dart points can easily break or dull on concrete, stone, or tile floors. Wood floors will easily be punctured especially the area closest to the board. Linoleum and vinyl flooring are also prone to get a lot of holes. Carpet may easily fade and show the wear of foot traffic between the dart board and the throwing line. You may not have checked since you first moved into your home so be sure that your floor is level. Some houses may slope over time or flooring may warp. If you are using a dart mat, you may be able to compensate for any irregularity by placing cardboard or carpet to even out the throwing area. Place the dart board in a safe and isolated location. Keep the dart board away from doorways or high traffic areas with breakable objects. You don't want to injure anyone walking through the path of the dart, nor do you want to have to keep pausing the game as people cannot help but go through your area. If there are any fragile or valuable objects that can possibly be damaged, rethink where you should set up your game. Darts can be unpredictable and ricochet at any direction so don't place your dartboard near windows or any area that can surprise unsuspecting passersby. Depending on how experienced the players are, darts may not always hit the board. Use a protective board to save the wall and surrounding area. Depending on your time and budget, you may also house your board by buying or creating a protective layer or cabinet. Beginners usually miss below the dart board so creating a cabinet or protective layer that measures 3 wide x 4 high backboard as you mount the dartboard in the upper center. If you do not have the time or money to get a cabinet, you can also use a large piece of foam, plywood, or cork behind the dartboard. Complete cabinets and protective materials can often be bought at your local sports or hobby stores.

article: Detaching temporarily from someone can be useful in helping you determine whether or not you want to continue being in a relationship with that person. Rather than breaking up with a romantic partner or cutting off a friend, pull yourself away emotionally so that you can think about what to do without causing the drama of an all-out breakup. Breaking up on impulse can make you regret your decision later, causing you to want the relationship back. Detaching slowly and carefully considering your actions can help you make a final decision that you don't go back on later in life. You might want to detach from a romantic relationship because you realize that over time, you and your partner have changed, or because they have a negative character flaw they are unwilling to work on. You might want to detach from a friendship because your friend has developed damaging behaviors, or because you realize they are never going to change a negative behavior. You might want to detach from a parent if they are overbearing or consistently rude. Take time to write out a list of pros and cons of detaching. Figure out if there are consequences you will need to plan for, such as loss of financial support or a change in lifestyle. If you are considering detaching from someone temporarily to think about things, find friends or relatives who will support your decision rather than nag you about it. You should also ask people you trust for advice about how to respond to the person you are detaching from. When seeking advice or support, say something like, "Do you think I could tell you about my situation, and you could tell me what you would do?" You also need others to provide a distraction so that you fill the void the other person was filling. Go to others when you need help with things like fixing the computer or advice about a decision. Detaching emotionally means that you are pulling away inwardly, not banishing the other person from your life. If you live with them, for example, you can still share all practical activities, such as eating meals together and discussing events and other superficial topics. If you have children together, it is important to continue the daily routines, even if you have activities with the children that you usually do together. This includes things like attending sports games or putting them to bed. To give yourself an emotional boundary during a conversation, keep the topics superficial and avoid discussing how you feel about things (i.e., sharing your opinion) and asking for advice. If you are asked a personal question, you can say that you do not want to discuss it at the moment. Even though your partner or friend may be confused by your behavior, you don't have to confide in them that you are trying to detach. Doing so may open the door for them to get angry, try to convince you to stop, or other such behavior. However, you should be prepared to answer their questions honestly. If they directly ask you what you're doing, say, "I am taking the time to think about our relationship." Be prepared to explain what you mean and answer any questions truthfully. "We've had a rough year, I feel emotionally exhausted, and I am taking the time to process how I feel about it all. I hope that you will give me the time to do that." Do not treat this is a game. You are serious about thinking about the relationship. You are not withholding emotional intimacy to get attention.

It should be a good-sized inflatable ball. A kickball, volleyball or a soccer ball is perfect for this game though both have their faults. A kickball is soft and bounces well, but it is harder to hit and is almost too bouncy. A soccer ball is perfect, except that it can hurt if hit too hard. A smaller ball will work if nothing else is available, but be careful what size ball you choose. Too large, and it complicates things. Too small, and it makes the game harder, if not impossible. Choose an enclosed space that is clear of debris. It could be a room clear of furniture or a squash court. It must be as level as possible, as inclines will make the game harder. The game is intended to be for a large group, hopefully for five people or more. There should be no more than 30 people. Obviously, the number of people you can have is limited by your playing space.
