Q: Only use soap made for washing down material, as it will be gentle on the stuffing in the sleeping bag. Avoid using regular detergents and soaps, as they are too harsh and can damage the down. Look for down soap at your local hardware store or online. Follow the instructions on the label to determine how much soap to use. If your sleeping bag is stuffed with synthetic materials, get a fragrance-free soap made for use on synthetic insulation. Check your local superstore or look online for a speciality soap for synthetic materials. You can also use a mild soap like Woolite in a pinch as long as it is fragrance-free. Consult the instructions on the label to determine how much soap to use to clean the sleeping bag. Do not use powdered or liquid laundry detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners on down or synthetic sleeping bags, as they can leave residue behind and ruin the material. If you have a front-loading machine at home, use it to wash the sleeping bag. Go to a laundromat if you do not have a front-loading washing machine, as their commercial-sized front-loading machines will be gentle enough to wash the sleeping bag without damaging it. Do not use a top-loading washer, as it will be too harsh on the sleeping bag and tear the material. Let the machine run once on a gentle cycle with nothing in it. This will remove any soap, residue, or debris in the machine so none of it gets on the sleeping bag. Turning the sleeping bag inside out will ensure it gets a good clean, as sweat and body oils tend to accumulate inside the bag. Close all the zippers and fasten all the Velcro closures on the sleeping bag. Loosen all the drawstrings so the fabric is exposed, and open the foot vent on the sleeping bag, if there is one. If your sleeping bag does not have a waterproof lining inside, leave it turned right side out. Place the sleeping bag and the soap in the washing machine. Then, set the cycle to gentle or delicate and a low temperature. The wash should take 40-50 minutes, depending on the machine. Run the machine again once the first wash is done at the same temperature and setting. This will allow the soap to really rinse out of the sleeping bag.
A: Use soap formulated for a down-filled sleeping bag, if applicable. Get soap designed for synthetic materials if the bag isn't made of down. Wash the bag in a front-loading washing machine. Rinse out the machine by running an empty cycle. Turn the sleeping bag inside out if it has a waterproof lining. Wash the sleeping bag on a gentle cycle at the lowest temperature. Add an additional rinse cycle to ensure all the soap is removed.

Q: Think about your child's age and maturity when picking an anime. Some twelve-year-olds aren't ready for school romance animes, but some ten-year-olds might love the same show. Think about the things your kids already like, and search online or ask for recommendations for animes that are about similar topics. For example, if your daughter loves racecars, she might enjoy Speed Racer. Parents often search for anime because their kids started the conversation! Ask your kids if there's something in particular they want to watch. If it's age-appropriate, get it for them! If it's not, try finding something lighter in a similar genre. For example, if your ten-year-old wants to watch Hellsing, which is a seinen vampire anime, he might be happy with an age-appropriate shonen vampire show like Owari no Seraph instead. If you have kids under the age of seven, you can't go wrong with a kodomo anime. These are marketed only towards young children and are usually light comedies with a valuable lesson included. Little girls often love one of the many Hello Kitty animes, while Doraemon is one of the most popular shows for boys and girls alike. Shojo is anime marketed towards tween and teen girls, and shonen is the male equivalent. These animes are often set in schools and can be supernatural, adventure, or romance-themed. Sailor Moon is one of the most popular shojo series of all time, and Naruto is a great choice for boys. They can also be spelled "shoujo" and "shounen." Be careful--there are related categories called shojo-ai and shonen-ai that have more sexual content and are aimed at older teens. Lots of animes aimed at younger kids are about card or even video games that can be played outside of the show. Pokemon and CardCaptor Sakura are great choices if you're interested in getting your child involved in a social activity too. Studio Ghibli makes anime movies that are appropriate for kids of all ages and fun for adults to watch too. They're a great introduction to anime and you can watch them together as a family. Try Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, or My Neighbor Totoro.
A: Take your child's age into account. Look for anime that reflects their interests. Ask your kids if there's an anime they're interested in seeing. Choose a kodomo show for little kids. Pick shojo or shonen animes for tweens. Try game-themed animes. Watch a Studio Ghibli film as a family.

Q: The obvious choices are: Catwoman. Friend, or foe? Who's to know. Whichever she is, there's not much that needs to be said about this costume.Be prepared to meet your match, Caped Crusader: Robin, the Boy Wonder. Make sure Robin is appropriate for the Bat-era you have chosen. The Dark Knight's Robin's costume is black with red accents, whereas the traditional Robin is a little more colorful: The Joker. Green hair, white face, blackened eyes, smeared red lipstick, and a purple suit will get you most of the way there. Just how ragged you make the makeup and how flamboyant the suit will determine if you're early Joker, or later Joker. Other great foes that make for great costume opportunities could be The Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, or Bane.
A: Have a friend dress up as somebody in the Batman family of heroes and villains. Finished.

Q: Set the food dehydrator to between 100 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit (38 to 52 degrees Celsius) and leave the corn inside to dry. You want the corn to be at 10 percent moisture before you increase the temperature in the food dehydrator. You'll know the corn is at ten percent moisture when it weighs .5 ounces (14.2 grams) less per pound (.45 kilograms) than it did before you started the malting process. Raise it to between 140 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (60 to 71 degrees Celsius). The corn will be finished drying when it's between three and six percent moisture content, or when it's lost three ounces (85 grams) per pound (.45 kilograms) of its original weight. The entire drying and process can take between six to eight hours. Set the oven between 176 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit (80 to 85 degrees Celsius). After four hours, the corn will be finished kilning and malting.
A:
Dry the corn in a food dehydrator to stop the germination process. Weigh the corn after several hours to check the moisture content. Increase the temperature when the corn is at ten percent moisture. Transfer the corn to a baking sheet and put it in the oven for four hours.
