Problem: Article: Use drops of water on a brush to prepare each of the colors. Have at hand, a few brushes of varying sizes, including a small, pointed brush for details. Also, have a container of clean water and tissues to keep runs and drips in control. Start at any point you wish; the container, the leaves and flowers or the hangers of strings or ropes. Move your brush over the objects, painting sections and leaving dry paper between them to keep the colors from bleeding into each other. If you want to do two sections close together, leave a tiny strip of untouched paper between bands of color. These can be filled in after the whole thing is dry. Darken or intensify the color in places with another coat of the same color. Put in details with a small, pointed brush. On leaves, you might add spots, lines or veins. For the flowers, use contrasting color to show shadows within them. Give the container added interest with texture, a colorful pattern, or shadows to show its roundness and depth. Make the background more interesting that leaving it white. Add any number of environmental things; clouds, diagonal strokes for rain, yellow for sunshine, purple or dark blue for evening or night. Wash on a layer of any one color for a background. Use varied colors for a lively background, make horizontal or vertical stripes. Let your imagination be free. Give the piece its own frame with stripes of color from a flat brush all around all sides of it. Do a large geometric shape in pencil behind the hanging basket and paint it a contrasting color. They will be extra special since you thought them up and made them appear on the paper. This container of flowers will always be in bloom and can add happiness and fun to a place where it hangs.
Summary: Open your watercolor box and activate the colors. Paint your design. Consider ways to add to the piece. Enjoy the fact that your art can bring flowers into your life at will.

Problem: Article: Lay a towel or drop cloth on the ground under the wall that you want to clean. This will make sure that no water or soap drips onto the ground. It will also help keep the dust off of your floor or carpet. Use a duster or a vacuum with a duster attachment to remove all of the dust from your wall. If you don't have a duster or vacuum, you can use a dry rag. If you have exposed drywall, you should only dust your wall and limit the use of water and other cleaners on it due to the material's porous nature. Dust your walls at least once a week to maintain them. Using acidic cleaning solutions could damage the appearance of your wall. To avoid this, use simple water and a cellulose sponge. Dampen your sponge but don't fully saturate it. Apply pressure on the sponge and move from the top to the bottom of your wall. Saturate your sponge when it becomes too dry. Continue to do this until you've washed the entire wall. In addition to being soft on your walls, cellulose sponges are made of bio-degradable materials that are good for the environment. Pour two cups (473.17 ml) of warm water in a bucket with three drops of mild dish soap. Saturate the rag that you're using and work it into your walls stains in small circular motions. Avoid using colored dish soaps because they can stain and dye your walls. Use a dry rag or a microfiber cloth to remove the saturation from your rinsing. Make sure to clean up any leftover soap because it can damage them if left on the walls.
Summary: Lay a drop cloth on the floor. Dust the wall. Wipe down your walls with a damp cellulose sponge. Remove deep stains with a mild dish soap and washcloth. Dry your walls with a rag.

Problem: Article: Caddies need a certain amount of confidence in their knowledge of the game. It's acceptable to stop a golfer from swinging if you disagree with a club choice or if you sense the wind about to change. A golfer will be more at ease if he or she knows they can rely on their caddy. Never speak during a golfer's swing. Offer advice before they are teeing up and say something along the lines of, "I think this club would be very effective here" or "Stay wary of this sudden breeze." Some golfers will prefer that you stay out of the way and let them play, but others will love your words of encouragement. Golf is a game that requires intense concentration and a positive attitude on the part of the player. If your golfer is experiencing a few bad holes, it's your job to boost morale, help the golfer stay focused, and offer words of encouragement when they are most needed. If a golfer blames you for a poor game, you must remain calm and collected. If your golfer hits above par, say: "Your next hole will be better. Just stay focused. You've got this." Even if you need to critique your golfer or offer advice, try to stroke their ego so they can become more confident in their strokes! When a golfer is hitting over par, they may become frustrated. In order to ease their tension and keep them focused on their game, offer them words of encouragement and motivation. Learn how to communicate with your golfer in the most effective way; each golfer responds differently to advice. Never talk during their backswing.
Summary: Be assertive. Remain positive. Give pep talks.

Problem: Article: The pan must be shallow and wide, as the trick to poaching well, without an egg poacher is to gently slip the egg into a wide, shallow pan filled with simmering water. The pan should be able to take about 1.5 liters (2 3/4 pints) of water, or 10cm (4") depth of water. The fresher an egg is, the better it will poach because its white is thicker. Use eggs that are as fresh as possible; an egg straight from the chicken will poach without any need for vinegar as it will coagulate immediately. into a ramekin, small bowl or soup ladle. Do this gently so as not to harm the appearance of the egg. Alternatively, crack the egg onto a small, flat plate as this makes sliding the egg into the pan of water easier. Don't break the yolk when cracking the egg. Given the possibility of breaking the egg when moving it from a bowl or plate to the pan, some people prefer to skip this step and break the egg straight into the water. If you do this, be careful and only add one at a time. And note that by cracking the eggs separately into a cup and not straight into the water, the cracked eggs have the chance to set back up into their little "protein cocoon". You might like to experiment to work out what works best for you. The water should be barely simmering and the temperature about 160-180F (71-82C). Make sure that you do not drop the egg into boiling water (100C/212F), as this will toughen the eggs and make them unpalatable. Poached eggs should be served as soon as they're removed from the water and drained. They cool down quickly and once cold, they're not as desirable for the diner. Serve on thick slices of crusty toast. Serve with baked beans, a cooked tomato and sausages. Serve with a salad. Serve inside a pita bread pocket. Serve on vegetables. Serve the poached eggs over toasted buttered English muffins and topped with Bearnaise or Hollandaise sauce, maybe a little bacon or grilled ham on the side. Serve as eggs Benedict.
Summary:
Select a suitable pan for poaching. Select the eggs. Crack an egg Turn down the gently boiling water to a simmer. Serve.
