Problem: Article: Rubbing alcohol is not as powerful as acetone or nail polish remover. It won't be as effective and may require more work; however, it is gentler and less drying than acetone or nail polish remover. Simply chose an item from the list below, apply/wipe/spray it to your skin, then wipe it off with a clean cloth or towel. Be sure to wash your skin afterwards with soap and water. Here are some things that you can try: Body spray Hand sanitizer Hair spray Perfume Rubbing alcohol Spray-on deodorant Anything else that contains rubbing alcohol Brush on some nail polish onto the affected area and leave it on for a few seconds. Wipe it off using a clean cloth before it dries. The fresh polish will help peel off the old polish. You may still have to wash the area afterwards with some soap and water. You can also try using a topcoat. If the polish is in a small area, you can try scratching at it with your fingernail until it peels off.
Summary: Try using rubbing alcohol or an alcohol-based product. Use some more nail polish to remove dried polish. Try picking the polish off.

Problem: Article: The spiral pattern is a classic tie dye look. The basic spiral collects all your fabric together into a single coil. Using this method of tying, you'll create a design with your design that corkscrews out from the middle point of your spiral. But before you do, make sure the surface is clean! If you are working on a commonly used surface, like a table you eat meals at, leftover food or oil can get on your fabric and ruin your consistency of the pattern made by your dye. Crumbs wound in your fabric could create light spots in your dye or flecks of white. Take a damp cloth and wipe off your surface before laying your fabric on it. You may want to protect the surface on which you are working by laying down a dye resistant mat or disposable cover to work on. Some common options include cardboard, plastic, and tarps. You only want to gather a very small amount of fabric between your fingers at this point. The fabric you grasp in your fingers will form the center point of your fabric. Gathering too much fabric can lead to a large, blob-like center of your spiral. Keep your spiral as tight and flat as possible. To help create a regular spiral, you should flatten your fabric against your surface with each full twist of your hand. As you continue to twist, the fabric should begin to form a spiral shape. You may want to use a tool to help you coil your fabric to give you the tightest spiral possible. A tighter spiral will result in more coils in the pattern, making it more elaborate. Some tools you might use to wind your spiral include a blunt fork or the eraser end of a sturdy pencil. Bring the loose end of your spiral and hold it to the main coiled part with the free hand you aren't using to twist the fabric. Pull the outside end of your coil tightly so that your spiral is wound as tightly as possible. Continuing to hold your spiral together with one hand, use your other hand to slide several large rubber bands around the fabric. You'll want to position them so that they cross at the center of the bundle, stretching from one end of the coil to the opposite side. Start with four rubber bands and increase the number as you find necessary. Larger pieces of fabric, fabric wound especially tight, or thicker fabric might need more rubber bands to maintain the spiral.
Summary: Make a basic spiral. Spread your material out on a flat surface. Pinch the center of the fabric with your thumb and two fingers. Twist the fabric while holding it down with your fingers. Close your spiral with your free hand. Band your spiral together.

Problem: Article: Hotmail/Outlook and Yahoo! Mail both offer POP3 and IMAP incoming mail servers. iCloud only supports IMAP. If you only plan to check your email in one place (such as in one app on your phone or computer), choose POP3. If you want your email to be available in multiple apps (or if you have an app and also want to use the web-based version of your email (i.e., http://www.hotmail.com) to read and reply to email), go with IMAP. (Hotmail IMAP, iCloud and Yahoo! Mail users can skip this step). If you want to use POP3, log into Hotmail/Outlook on the web and click the Options wheel, then select "Options" from the menu. Navigate to "Managing your account and click "Connect devices and apps with POP." Select "Enable" under POP and click "Save." Outlook, iCloud and Yahoo! all use only secure POP3 and IMAP connections for your safety. Hotmail/Outlook POP3: pop-mail.outlook.com port 995 Hotmail/Outlook IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com port 993 Yahoo! POP3: pop.mail.yahoo.com port 995 Yahoo! IMAP: imap.mail.yahoo.com port 993 iCloud IMAP: imap.mail.me.com port 993
Summary: Decide whether you prefer POP3 or SMTP. Configure POP3 settings for Hotmail/Outlook. Type the mail server address and port into your mail software.

Problem: Article: Bulbs need to be 'tricked' into believing they have survived winter in order to start flowering. This means they need to experience a sustained cold environment whilst they are dormant. The ones you buy commercially are likely to have been chilled for you. If you are supplying your own bulbs, you'll need to recreate this cold environment yourself. You can place the bulbs in a fridge salad drawer, but keep them well away from fruit, especially apples, because they emit gases that will inhibit the bulbs' later flowering. You can also try using a cool cellar if you can achieve an ideal temperature of between 30 and 50 F. Your bulbs need to stay at this cool temperature for around 4 months. Not all commercially purchased tulips will stand forcing. Check the label when you are shopping for bulbs. As a general rule, shorter tulip varieties tend to do better than taller varieties when forced. The essential thing is to select good healthy bulbs that are large and firm. Reject any bulbs that seem rather small or are soft or mushy. After chilling or purchase, store your bulbs in a cool dry and dark place until you are ready to force them. You don't want your bulbs to dry out completely, so keep them out of drafts. Inside a paper bag in a cool cupboard is ideal. You don't always have to get a specially designed vase to force tulips. The most important thing to remember is that the bulb should not touch the water, otherwise it will rot. The bulb does need to sit right above the water though, so the roots can grow down into it. You can get special glassware vases for forcing bulbs in garden stores or online. You can try filling a receptacle, like a tall vase, with a few handfuls of decorative pebbles or glass beads. Then fill with the vase water. The bulb should sit on top of the stones but still not touch the water. The bulb roots will need a few inches of water to grow down into. If you're improvising with your own vessel, just remember that the tulip needs to sit above the water but shouldn't touch it. Fill your receptacle with a few handfuls of pebbles or glass beads. Top it up with cool water and place the tulip bulb on top. The pointed part of the tulip bulb should point upwards. The base of the bulb should not touch the water, but the water should be just a few millimeters below the bulb. It's fine to force several bulbs in the same vase, but avoid the bulbs touching in case one rots and spreads the infection to its neighbor. Remember, bulbs may swell during forcing, so give them about an inch of space each.
Summary:
Trick the bulbs using a cold environment to make them flower. Pick large, firm bulbs of short tulip varieties to have the best chance of flowering. Store bulbs in a cool, dry, dark place after the chilling process. Choose a properly-sized vase. Try the alternative stone-filled vase method. Place your bulb on top without touching the water.
