Problem: Article: You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold. If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in the same place on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered.
Summary: Melt the chocolate. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest.

Problem: Article: Regular needles may cut through the spandex fibers and result in damaged fabric. Ballpoint needles have rounded tips so they will go in between the fibers when you sew, so this type of needle is much less likely to damage your fabric. See your sewing machine's instructions for how to install a new needle. Too much pressure on the presser foot of your machine will pull on the fabric as you sew it. This can result in puckered areas along the seam. To reduce the chance of puckered stitches, reduce the pressure on the presser foot. Set your machine's presser foot pressure to 1 before you begin sewing. Check your sewing machine's manual to find out how to change the presser foot pressure. It is not necessary to use a special stretchy thread for spandex because you will be using a stitch setting that allows the fabric to stretch. However, all-purpose polyester thread has a bit of give to it, so it is a great choice for sewing spandex. Choose an all-purpose polyester thread in a color that matches your spandex fabric. A narrow zigzag stitch works well for sewing spandex because it will provide slack that allows the spandex to stretch. Set your machine to the zigzag stitch and adjust the stitch length to 0.5 millimetres (0.020in). If your fabric is a blend that is not too stretchy, then you may adjust the zigzag stitch to a longer length, such as 1.5 millimetres (0.059in). However, it is important to keep the zigzag stitch within the range of 0.5 millimetres (0.020in) to 1.5 millimetres (0.059in) so that the seams will stretch with the fabric. Check your sewing machine's manual for instruction on how to change the stitch setting. With many fabrics, it is helpful to pull the fabric taut when you sew it. However, this strategy does not work with spandex because it can lead to puckering. When you are working with spandex fabric, do not pull on it. Don't let the fabric hang over the edge of your work surface either because this will also pull on the fabric.
Summary: Install a ballpoint needle in your sewing machine. Adjust the presser foot so that the pressure is set to 1. Thread your machine with an all-purpose polyester thread. Set your machine to a narrow zigzag stitch. Avoid pulling on the fabric as you sew it.

Problem: Article: Well, technically, you start with your hands clasped in front of your chest. But that's not very active, so let's go straight to the high V or your hands above your head. You have to start up top so you can swing down and build up momentum. High schools will start in a high V, whereas All-Stars tend to start with their hands clasped above them, arms up straight slightly in front of their heads. If first position was your arms up in a high V or vertical clasp, second position is your knees slightly bent, weight coming onto the balls of your feet, and your hands in fists down in front of your knees ready to swing up. We will refer to this as "athletic" position from here on out. If you're moving from a high V to this position, make sure to swing your arms in and down, not out and down. If you're moving from a vertical clasp, just swing your arms straight down. Let's cover the arms of the actual jump first. As you come out of athletic position, your arms should move to a firm "T," a "T" with sharpness. They should form a 90 degree angle with your neck and head. Not lower and not higher. Some tend to lower their T so their legs look like they're going higher. But your legs won't end up looking higher your form will just look sloppy. When you hit your T, snap to it. A good cheerleader or toe touch-er has energy behind even the smallest of movements, from head to toe.
Summary: Start with a high V or your hands clasped above your head. Come down to an athletic position, swinging your hands down and bending your knees. Hit a firm "T" with your arms.

Problem: Article: Sight-seeing is a common practice for travelers. Think about the transportation, admittance and other costs related specifically to these trips. Most monuments, parks, and museums are free of charge but some may cost a small amount money. Research these sights beforehand so you can factor them into your budget. Look up pre-packaged sight-seeing tours in your destination. They may be the most cost-efficient and thorough way to see a locale's major sights. If you're planning on attending amusement parks, enjoying the local nightlife, or taking in a show, factor these costs into your budget. You may want to create a rough schedule of your daily entertainment plans so you can research them ahead of time. Use sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor to research local entertainment and get an idea of the costs ahead of time. Consider getting a AAA membership. They offer travel discounts at restaurants and entertainment venues. Many travelers purchase gifts for others other souvenirs for themselves. It will be difficult to determine the costs ahead of time so make a budget you can stick to. Make a list of the people you intend to purchase gifts for ahead of time and try to assign a rough dollar amount.
Summary:
Determine sight-seeing costs. Determine your entertainment costs. Consider gifts and souvenirs.
