Summarize the following:
It's always a good idea to clean a new flask before filling it with liquor for the first time. While a thorough rinse with hot water is probably sufficient, you may wish to use a little bit of dish soap for the first wash as well. However, take care to use a very tiny amount of diluted soap just a drop or two as it can be difficult or impossible to fully rinse the soap out of a flask. If you're not planning to change the type of liquor you keep in your flask, cleaning with plain tap water between uses is usually sufficient. Boil 2 cups (.5 liters) of water, and carefully pour the water into the flask while it is still hot. Put on the cap and give the flask a good shake for about a minute, then dump the water out. Stainless steel will heat up very quickly when you pour hot or boiling water into it. Wrap a dishtowel around the flask or use an oven mitt to keep yourself from getting burned. Do not add soap to the water when you clean your flask. It is very difficult to rinse the soap out completely, and the remaining residue will ruin the flavor of your liquor. If your flask is in need of a more serious cleaning, or if you want to get rid of any lingering flavors, pour in some lemon juice or distilled white vinegar. Use enough lemon juice or vinegar so that your flask is mostly full, but leave some space at the top (at least of the volume of the flask) so that you can easily shake the liquid inside. Put the cap on the flask and shake vigorously for about a minute, then pour out the lemon juice or vinegar and rinse with water. This type of cleaning is useful if you plan to switch to a new type of liquor. The lemon juice or vinegar will help eliminate any residual flavor from the liquor previously stored in the flask. Use only distilled white vinegar to clean your flask. Other types of vinegar may leave lingering flavors. Always rinse your flask thoroughly after washing it with lemon juice or vinegar. The acids from these cleansers can damage the flask and affect the taste of your liquor if they are not completely rinsed out. If you still smell lemon or vinegar, give it a second rinse. If your flask is extra dirty, toss in a small handful or 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of coarse salt, rice, or baking soda along with your cleansing liquid. These substances will help scour out any stubborn dirt or residue without being too hard on the stainless steel. Fill up your flask about two thirds full with your cleansing mixture, put the cap on, and shake the flask hard for 30-60 seconds. Dump out the contents and rinse thoroughly with water. Baking soda will dissolve quickly and create a fizzy (and potentially messy) reaction when mixed with lemon juice or vinegar. This reaction is not dangerous, but you may wish to stick to mixing baking soda with water if you want to avoid it. Any time you clean your flask, store it upside-down and uncapped in a drying rack until the inside of the flask is completely dry. Capping a flask that is still damp can lead to mildew or bacterial growth. Once your flask is dry, store it in a cool, dry place, such as a kitchen cabinet.

summary: Wash a new flask with water before your first use. Clean your flask with hot water between uses. Use lemon juice or white vinegar for an extra thorough cleaning. Add a mild abrasive to scrub out residue. Let your flask dry completely after cleaning. Finished.

Focus on the work you can do without the coworker, and don't let your anger get in the way of other work relationships or responsibilities. Don't give anyone else reason to be angry or disappointed in you. Most backstabbing coworkers aren't sociopaths, but people who think underhanded tactics are the only way to get ahead. Make an honest effort to recognize the coworker's positive contributions, and encourage those behaviors instead. Making an extra effort to be the better person is always more constructive than stooping to their level. During a meeting or conversation, ask the backstabber for input on topics she knows a lot about. Back him up when he makes contributions and suggestions you agree with. Only do this when you sincerely agree, and don't go overboard and flatter him. Sometimes you may learn positive things about your backstabber and be able to clear up misconceptions that caused them to backstab you in the first place. Understanding how to resolve conflict is a valuable skill that will last much longer than any obstacle a dishonest person tries to put in your way. If the backstabber treats these gestures rudely, stop and move on to other methods. Some people are not interested in changing their behavior, and there's only a limited amount of effort you can be expected to make. Describe the incidents that have upset you privately, in person or via email. Bring the problem into the open and see if the other person is mature enough to discuss it. Avoid sounding like you're making accusations. Use passive statements such as "I noticed the project wasn't completed in time" instead of active statements such as "You didn't complete the project." As described under Protecting Yourself, you should be prepared with detailed information on the incidents that occurred. If the coworker denies these events ever happened, show them the email or other document that proves it did. If the backstabber still denies it, get a witness to confirm. If the backstabbing threatens to have serious consequences, and talking to the person responsible was unsuccessful, ask to meet with your manager, or a manager from Human Resources. This is especially true if there are rumors about you violating workplace policy, or committing other actions that are grounds for punishment. Come prepared with as much information as you can. Documents, emails, and anything else that shows concrete evidence of sabotage will help your case. Positive feedback and a record of the work you completed can help put to rest rumors of laziness or unprofessional behavior.

summary: Don't let the coworker interfere with your work. Give the backstabbing coworker positive ways to contribute. Discuss the situation privately with the backstabber. Back up your claims with records. Set up a meeting with a manager if your employment is in jeopardy.

Once you're connected, you'll be asked to provide your vehicle's radio identification number, along with a special dealer access code. You'll then be rewarded with a 4-digit retrieval code, which will allow you to unlock your radio. This is an automated line, so you won't have to wait to talk to a live human being. You can call GM's radio hotline for assistance at any time, day or night. This is the most common code used by GM personnel to reset locked Theftlock radios. Key in each number carefully, then hit the # sign to send your request through. Under normal circumstances, a locked Theftlock radio must be reset by a licensed GM dealer, who uses a special code known only by dealership personnel. By entering the code yourself, you can avoid the trouble and expense of paying to have your vehicle's radio unlocked at the dealership. Refer back to the two 3-digit numerical codes you wrote down earlier and enter them in a single unbroken sequence using your phone's keypad. Once you've done that, press the * sign and prepare to receive your radio retrieval code. Remember to read the numbers from left to right, and be careful not to accidentally include any other numbers or symbols. You should make a total of 7 button presses when it's all said and done. The automated voice on the other end of the line will only repeat the code once, so listen closely and have your pen and paper ready to record the numbers neatly and precisely. You now have all the information you need to unlock your radio, so you can hang up the phone. If you don't catch one or more numbers of the retrieval code, you'll have no choice but to start the call over from the beginning.
summary: Dial 1-800-537-5140 to connect with GM's toll-free radio hotline. Enter the numbers "106010" when prompted for a dealer access code. Punch in your vehicle's 6-digit radio identification number when instructed. Write down the 4-digit radio retrieval code as it's recited to you.
