Using a microfiber cloth is a great way to clean your Ugg slippers on a regular basis. Simply run the microfiber cloth across the surface of the slippers, being careful not to press too hard to fray the suede or sheepskin material. Depending on how often you wear your Ugg slippers, you should do this approximately once every two weeks. Use a suede brush to gently brush the Ugg slippers about once every week or so. Brushing your slippers regularly will help clean off any existing dust and dirt, while also preventing them from getting dirtier over time. Gently stroke the suede all over the entire slippers. Try to move in the same direction all the way around to avoid making any irregularities in the fabric. Spray a small amount of cleaning solution on a sponge. You can purchase one directly from UGG like the UGG Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner or use another product that works for suede or sheepskin material. Use the sponge to gently dab at the surface of the slippers and clean away and dirt or other residue. After cleaning, be sure to let the slippers dry completely before wearing them again. You should let them dry for at least 24 hours in a cool place out of direct sunlight.

Summary: Wipe with a microfiber cloth. Brush the slippers. Use a cleaning spray.

If you're experiencing worse-than-normal performance in games, or the system is sluggish when moving between menus, clearing the system cache may help. This will be most effective with older Xbox 360 games. Clearing the system cache will not delete any of your games, save files, or media. It will delete any installed game updates, so these will need to be downloaded again when you play the game next. This will open the Guide menu. You'll see various settings categories. You'll see all of your connected storage devices. This will open the "Device Options" menu. It doesn't matter which storage device you select, as you'll be clearing the entire system's cache. The cache will be deleted, which should only take a few moments.

Summary: Clear your cache if you have troubles with your Xbox 360. Press the Guide button on your Xbox controller. Select "Settings" and then "System Settings." Select "Storage." Highlight any storage device and press the yellow "Y" button. Select "Clear System Cache" and then confirm.

The focus should be on the client's face, not on what's behind them, so choose a plain backdrop. Opt for something in either a solid color or with a minimalist design. If you're shooting outside, use a wide aperture to blur the background. Lenses with wider angles can distort a person's face. Instead, use a lens with a narrow focus to slim your subject's face. Look for a lens with a large aperture and a small f-number. An aperture of f/4 is good for natural light, while f/8 is usually best for studio lighting. The ISO determines the sensitivity of the camera's sensor. A lower setting means less sensitivity to light and a finer grain in your photograph, which will help create a crisp image.The shutter speed determines how much light is let into the photograph. The measurement indicates how long the shutter is open (1/250th of a second, for instance). Faster shutter speeds are good for capturing fast motion, while slower speeds are usually used for creative photography. Normal range is considered 1/30th to 1/250th sec. Using a reflector directly across from the main light will fill in shadows on the face, creating a soft, flattering appearance. Eliminate shadows on the backdrop by pointing a light behind the subject. Having the flash hit the face directly can be too harsh. Diffuse the flash by using a softbox or umbrella, or by bouncing the flash off of a nearby wall. This will cause the light the wash across the face in a more flattering way.

Summary: Choose a simple backdrop. Avoid wide-angle lenses. Set your camera's ISO at 100 and the shutter speed at 1/200th or 1/250th of a second. Set your main light above and slightly to the left of your client. Diffuse the flash.

The best skillets for cooking a steak on the stove are cast iron skillets, which get very hot, distribute the heat evenly, and create an even crust on the meat. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use the skillet or pan with the thickest bottom that you have. Olive oil has a low smoke point, and will smoke very quickly and taste somewhat bitter. You want an oil that will get hotter without smoking too much. Grapeseed, gram, or canola are all ideal. Some people like to add a little butter to the skillet as well, for an added nutty flavor. You can add it at the beginning, or wait until you flip the steak. Don't crowd the skillet with too many steaks, or the temperature will lower in the pan and the steaks will cook unevenly. Steaks don't take long to cook, so take your time and do them one at a time. When the skillet it hot, lay in the seasoned steak, dropping it into the skillet away from you to avoid splatter. If the skillet isn't hot and the meat doesn't sizzle, take the meat out and wait. Putting a piece of steak into a cold pan will make a tough steak. Put the meat in the skillet and leave it alone for about five minutes. Let it caramelize on that side. You don't need to prod at it, check on it, or do anything. Just let the meat cook. Don't push on the steak or press it into the skillet. There's no need to do this. Cook thinner steaks for no more than four minutes and thicker steaks for up to six, depending on how done you like your steak. Flip the steak to the other side when it's ready. If you have them, tongs are great for cooking a steak, because you don't have to pierce the meat. Forks are also fine, though some people prefer not to pierce the meat before slicing it. It's not a huge deal, either way, and some people swear by either method. If you like a steak on the rare side, it should be done with a few minutes on each side, and 10-15 minutes of resting while covered. But if your steaks are very thick, or you like them a little more done, the best way to cook them is by finishing them in the oven. Spoon extra butter over the steak and plate in the center of the oven at 275 degrees F. Finish it for 5-10 minutes, until the temperature shows where you want it on the thermometer, or it feels the firmness you're looking for.
Summary: Use a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Use a high-heat oil to coat the skillet. Cook one steak at a time. Cook 4-6 minutes on each side. Flip the steak with tongs or a fork. Lower the heat and finish the steak, if necessary.
