Problem: Article: The news often features negative or scary stories because those are the ones that stand out. They're more remembered than positive events. Avoiding the news can help you shake off these fears. Take some time to determine what it is that is scaring you. A lot of time people know exactly what is scaring them, but others are unclear what the root of their fear is. Try writing out a list of thoughts that are troubling you. Relaxing your mood is an important step into reaching a more peaceful state. Hysterical moods are not healthy and can even further your state of fear. A good way to calm yourself is to take deep breaths. You'll want to be calm in order to better face what is scaring you. Write out a few questions, reflect on them, and try to fill in a response. Try these questions: What am I afraid of? Is this realistic? What is the worst that could happen? Where do I feel fear in my body? If you have a tangible fear like a character from a horror movie, a spider, or whatnot, try drawing it. You can print out an image from the internet and try to draw it. Spending a prolonged period of time with your phobia will help you get past feeling afraid of it. Avoiding what is scaring you can take on a worse outcome than your initial feelings of fear. Before seeking outside help, stand up to your fear and welcome it. It will be challenging, but doing this could help you place things into perspective. Dealing with your fear can take a long time to truly overcome, but with persistent work, you can overcome it. Rely on a simple set of exercises to solve your issue: patience, persistence, education, and being committed. If you find these thoughts to persist you may need extra help from a professional. Some fears aren't caused by a scary movie, but rather caused from an unknown source about something irrational. This type of fear is better treated with medicine or support from a therapist.
Summary: Limit your intake of negative news. Examine what's scaring you. Take deep breaths. Ask yourself questions. Draw what's scaring you. Expose yourself. Be patient. Seek professional help.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: or obtain a full-tang knife blade. A full-tang knife blade includes a metal blade and a bare metal handle. The handle (tang) part should be already cut in the shape of the wood handle (scale). You can buy knife kits online that contain just the full-tang blade and pins. Duct tape or electrical tape will work the best. You can use masking tape, but you'll need to use more layers. Wrap the tape from the tip of the knife all the way down to the base, where the blade ends. Do not cover the tang. Make sure that the tape completely covers the blade. This will reduce the chances of the knife cutting you, or of epoxy getting on the blade. The tape will not only keep you from getting cut while you work, but also protect the blade from getting chipped or scratched. If you can still feel the blade through the tape, simply wrap more tape around the blade. Choose a strong, durable wood that is about 14-in (0.64-cm) thick, and a little larger than the tang. For a nicer finish, ensure that the grain runs along the length of the wood. You can buy these pieces online from stores that specialize in knife-making supplies. A knife handle is composed of 2 halves, which are also known as "scales." The tang is sandwiched between the scales. Great types of wood to work with include: apple, ash, bois d'arc, hickory, peach, pear, and pecan. Hardwoods come from deciduous trees and are typically more durable than softwoods, which come from coniferous trees. If you purchased a knife kit, the pins may already be cut for you. If you didn't purchase a kit, you will need to cut the metal rod into 1in (2.5cm) lengths. Set the rod down on a stable surface, then use a metal saw or file to cut it into 1in (2.5cm) lengths. How many rods you cut depends on how many holes are in the tang. Some knives have 2 holes while others have 4. The metal rod needs to be thin enough to fit through the holes in the tang. The thickness of the rod varies from knife to knife. Once again, if you purchased a kit, the pins should already be filed down for you. If you cut the pins yourself, there will likely be sharp burs on each end. File these down using a metal file or grinder. Don't worry if the ends of the pins are not perfectly flat. You will be filing them down later so that they are flush with the scales. You won't be using this until you are ready to glue everything together. Epoxy glue sets quickly, however, so it would be a good idea to have everything ready. Attach a piece of plywood to each side of your vise. Fold a sheet of plastic wrap, then tuck it between the vises, like a taco. Use a heavy-duty table-mounted vise, if possible. If you don't have that, use 2 to 3 smaller vises instead. The plywood will protect the wooden scales from getting dented by the vises. The plastic wrap will keep the epoxy glue from getting everywhere. If you don't have that, you can try wax paper instead.

SUMMARY: Make Wrap 3 layers of tape around the blade part of your knife. Find two 14-in (0.64-cm) pieces of wood for the scales. Cut the pins, if needed. File down the ends of the pins, if needed. Line your vise or clamps with plywood and plastic wrap.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These are the tubes that connect the faucet to the water supply. Use the adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts where the hoses attach to the water supply. Use the basin wrench to loosen the nut attaching the hoses to the faucet. Turn the nuts to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen them. Once you've loosened the nuts with the wrenches, you can remove them the rest of the way by hand. Wipe up any water that drips onto the bottom of the vanity immediately to prevent damage or warping. Most faucets are attached to the sink by locknuts attached to the tailpieces under the sink. Use your hands or an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts and unthread them from the tailpieces. Turn them to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen them. Remove the nuts and the washers from the tailpieces. Once you've removed the supply lines, nuts, and washers, the faucet will be loose. Hold the faucet in both hands and pull it straight out from the mounting holes. Remove the gasket if there is one and set it aside with the faucet. Use the flashlight to locate the nuts under the sink if you're having trouble locating them. With a sponge or gentle abrasive pad, scrub the mounting holes around the sink where the faucet sits. Use soap and water or your favorite cleaner or detergent. Once the area is clean, rinse it well, pat it dry, and let it air dry completely. To remove old sealant or silicone, dampen a sponge or rag with mineral spirits and wipe the area clean. Then rinse the area with clean water and pat it dry. Once you've removed the old faucet from the mounting holes, you can figure out what hole configuration you're working with and the type of faucet you need. There are three major types of faucets: Single hole, where the sink will only have one hole for the faucet, and the faucet will all be one simple piece with a single handle. Center-set, where there will be three holes in the sink and the one-piece faucet will have separate handles controlling the hot and cold water. Widespread or split-set, which work with three-hole basins, but the spout and two handles come in three separate pieces. Before you go to the home or hardware store for a new faucet, determine the type of faucet you have, look at your basin hole configuration, and measure the distance between the holes so that you get the right replacement faucet. Write down the number of holes your basin has, the type of faucet that was on there, and the distance between the holes. If you want to replace your old faucet with a new kind, you'll have to replace the basin as well.
Summary:
Disconnect the supply tubes. Loosen the lock nuts to take out the old faucet. Scrub the faucet holes. Determine what kind of faucet you have. Purchase a new faucet.
