Transfer the steak to a part of the grill that provides indirect heat. Close the lid on the grill and allow it to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to take the temperature of the fattest part of the steak. It's ready when the temperature reads 130F (54C).

Red hair color tends to fade fast because the molecules that make up the dye are large. To slow down the fading process, resist the urge to wash your hair often. Do not wash your hair more than once every other day. If your hair gets oily fast, try using dry shampoo to keep it looking fresh in between washes. Don't take hot showers. Hot water will make your color fade faster. Red hair dye is prone to fading. Apply a semi-permanent or demi-permanent dye to your hair from time to time to gently touch it up and keep it looking rich. If you need to touch up the roots, use a permanent dye. Remember that dying your hair is damaging. Because of this, you'll want to make sure you do deep conditioning treatments on your hair from time to time, especially just after you've dyed it. Also be sure to condition your hair every time you wash it.

One-sentence summary -- Wash your hair 2-3 times each week. Touch up the red color. Deep condition your hair.

Q: Many septic tanks are built out of concrete. However, the tanks are often reinforced with steel bars within the concrete. These bars will trigger a metal detector, giving you a good idea of where your septic tanks are located. You can rent a metal detector from your local hardware store, and also from any large home-supply store. It's not uncommon for the builders or previous homeowners to leave future homeowners a "clue" regarding the location of their septic tank. These typically take the shape of an arrow drawn on the foundation of the house. While the arrow will not tell you how far out from the home your septic tank is buried, it will at least give you a direction to search in. If you're not sure that you've found the tanks' location, probe with a piece of rebar instead of digging. You'll need a piece of rebar at least 4 feet (1.2m) long, and a heavy hammerpreferably a sledgehammer. Hammer the rebar vertically into the ground until it comes into contact with your concrete septic tank. You can purchase lengths of rebar and sledgehammers at a local hardware store.
A: Search throughout your yard with a metal detector. Look for an arrow symbol on your home's foundation. Probe suspect areas with a piece of rebar.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are many different kinds of day planner, suited to different tasks and personalities. Some day planners are very simple lined notebooks; other day planners have different sections for different kinds of tasks. Take a few moments to think about why it is you want to use a day planner and what you would use it for. It is very important to consider these questions because you will be more likely to use your day planner if it becomes your sole planning tool: keeping more than one day planner at a time will be confusing and will defeat the purpose. Ask yourself: Will I need a section for phone numbers? Will I use it primarily for remembering appointments? Do I want a day planner that lasts for more than one year? Do I want my day planner to replace another organizing tool (such as my to-do lists)? Do I want a simple, plain notebook, or one with lots of different features and sections? Would I rather have a day planner that is small enough to fit in a pocket or one that is large enough to handle notes from my meetings? Do I want a day planner that provides more space for weekdays, or will I need my day planner primarily for weekend activities? Day planners can be purchased at a variety of stores, such as office supply shops, stationery stores, calendar stores, and online. They can cost anywhere from just a few dollars to over $50. While the aesthetics of your day planner are important, pay attention first and foremost to the layout and sections of the day planner. Make sure that the day planner you purchase is organized in a way that you find pleasing and that makes sense given your lifestyle and responsibilities. Even though function is the most important thing, you will be more likely to get in the habit of using a day planner that you find attractive and pleasing to the eye. Some day planners are very simple, with just a plain black leather cover. Others are bright and whimsical, with lots of designs and elaborate patterns. Any aesthetic is fine as long as it accords with professional decorum in your workplace. Pay attention to the aesthetics of the inside of the planner as well as the outside. Some people prefer unlined pages to lined pages, for example. Some people like symmetry; others might like more dynamic layouts. You might also prefer certain typefaces to others. Make sure that you find your day planner pleasant to look at--inside and out--in order to further incentivize your daily use of it. Your day planner won't do you much good if you can't write anything down in it. Be sure to keep lots of sharpened pencils and working pens in places you are most likely to use your day planner. These include: Your briefcase or work bag Your purse Your work desk Your desk at home Close to your landline phones If you are someone who consistently loses pens and pencils, consider storing an emergency pencil inside your day planner itself. Some day planners even have a little bit of storage space you could use for a spare pencil.

SUMMARY:
Consider what you would use a day planner for. Purchase a planner that suits your needs. Consider the aesthetics of your day planner. Have a ready supply of pens and pencils.
