This method is not guaranteed to return gunpowder. Gunpowder is randomly available in chests, as one of many possible items. But you'll at least get something else for your efforts even if there is no gunpowder! Dungeons are small underground structures made from cobblestone or mossy stone. They only spawn within solid blocks, so mining may be a more effective way to find them than exploring caves. In the upcoming 1.9 edition for PC, you can also find gunpowder in desert temple chests. Each dungeon has a monster spawner that sends out a steady supply of mobs. Fight your way to the spawner and place a torch on it to stop more monsters from showing up. Alternatively, if you want to avoid the spawner, dig around the sides of the dungeon to reach the chests. Chests are usually located around the walls of the dungeon, allowing you quick access and getaway if you come in from the sides. This is the fastest way to collect the loot and chest. If there is gunpowder inside it, you have got what you came for!

One-sentence summary -- Know the odds. Locate a dungeon. Place a torch on the monster spawner. Dig through the walls instead. Destroy the chest.

. For this modern updo, you're using the clip to create a pile of curls on top of your head. The clip won't be visible, and your curls will pile in the shape of a Rihanna-style fauxhawk. Awesome, right? If you don't already have curly hair, go ahead and curl it up. Tight ringlets look great with this style and will stay in place better. If you don't want to use a curling iron or hot rollers, curl your hair without heat using a t-shirt or make pin curls. You'll need to start the night before with wet hair. Get the clip ready by unsnapping it at the top and opening it wide. Close the clip close against your head to gather your hair in place, then snap it shut at the top. The tip of the clip should land an inch or two back from your forehead. Arrange your curls around the clip so the ends fall on either side of it to hide it from view. Use bobby pins to secure the curls in place to keep the clip hidden. Finish the look with hairspray.

One-sentence summary -- Curl your hair Open the clip. Snap it shut to secure your hair. Pin curls around the clip to cover it.

If you suffer from sleeplessness during each of your periods, you can determine what specific symptoms keep you up each month. Since your period symptoms are what cause you to lose sleep, treating them will help you sleep better while on your period. In order to determine what is causing your insomnia, pay attention to the things that keep you up or wakes you up. Notice if you have pain, if you are anxious, or if you are just generally restless. This can help you figure out which technique to use. You may find it helpful to use an app to keep track of your sleeping patterns and other symptoms. Try apps like Period Calendar, Clue, or Glow. One of the best ways to combat period symptoms is exercise. The release of endorphins may help reduce cramps, relieve additional pain, reduce anxiety, and help you sleep better. Aim for a 30-minute workout during the days leading up to your period and during the first few days of your period. Yoga is a relaxing, low-impact form of exercise that may help relieve period symptoms. Don't work out too close to bedtime. Exercising can cause a spike in energy levels, so it will be counterproductive to do it too late in the day. When your cramps are extremely bad or if you suffer from lower back pain during your period, heating the area may help your pain so you can sleep. It may also help reduce swelling and inflammation associated with period bloating, which may make it uncomfortable to sleep. Cover your pelvic area or lower back with a towel or cloth, then place a hot water bottle or heating pad on the area that hurts the most. If you use a heating pad, do not leave it on high or apply it for more than 20 minutes at a time. It can burn your skin or cause irritation. A warm bath or shower or a little time in a sauna may also relax you and relieve cramps. Acupuncture, which involves a series of thin needles being inserted into strategic points on your body, helps relieve pain. It may help with cramping, tension, and lower back pain associated with your period, which may make it impossible to sleep. Try scheduling an appointment with a trained acupuncturist later in the day so the pain-relieving effects will help you get to sleep easier.

One-sentence summary -- Determine changes in your sleep pattern. Exercise during your period, if you feel up to it. Use heat to relieve cramps. Try acupuncture.

Some homeowner's associations have rules about what kinds of colors can be used to paint houses. If your neighborhood has a homeowner's association, speak with a representative to find out if there are any restrictions you need to know about before you get started. Some historical homes have terne metal roofs, and these need to be painted with oil-based paint. Galvanized metal roofs are usually painted with acrylic-based paint. Find either oil-based or acrylic-based paint at your local home improvement store. To ensure that you know what kind of metal your roof is made out of and what kind of paint you should use, ask a professional roofer to inspect your home. Try to avoid making your roof the same color as the sides of your house. Instead, choose a neutral color that complements the sides, or a lighter color that gives an accent to your home. If your house is made of brick or stone, it is especially important to make sure your roof complements these materials, as their colors cannot be changed. You can find primers for metal at your local home improvement store. Ask an employee for help if you're having trouble finding the kind you need.

Check with your homeowner's association for any painting regulations. Choose a paint that's right for your metal roof. Choose a color that goes with the rest of your house. Purchase a primer designed for metal roofs.
