Problem: Article: A formal suit is great for many occasions, but something in gray or black may not feel festive. Opt for a suit in a deep, jewel tone as this will convey some holiday cheer while keeping things fancy. Opt for colors like deep blues or reds. Dark greens could also work well. Layer the suit with a cashmere shirt underneath, as this sheer fabric gives off a festive vibe. Your old blue jeans may seem too informal for a fancy party. If you're not one to opt for a suit, try pairing formal dress pants with a nice button-down shirt. This can keep your outfit somewhat formal, appropriate for a fancy party. Dress pants often come in shades like black. However, if you want to nod to the season, you can try finding more colorful dress pants. Colors like greens, silvers, whites, and golds would work well for a holiday party. If you can only find dress pants in traditional colors, try pairing them with a slightly more festive top to add some color to your outfit. Jeans are not out of the question for a holiday party. If you choose jeans, however, go for a fancier, designer brand over conventional blue jeans. Jeans in festive colors, like reds, or black jeans are more appropriate for a fancy party than plain blue jeans. Stick to classic dress shoes you would wear to work or a formal occasion. Loafers or desert boots work well. If you want something a little more festive, choose slightly brighter colored shoes to reflect the season. A watch is a nice accessory, especially when paired with a suit. If you want to give your outfit a little something extra, try wearing a nice watch to the fancy party. If you have a watch that's a little brighter and more colorful, this may fit particularly well for a holiday party. A watch with bright jewels or sequins would work well. You can also look for a watch with some holiday color, like red or green, incorporated into the design. Cufflinks are always a nice touch and are appropriate for a variety of formal events. However, silver cufflinks can make a great addition to a holiday outfit. The silver color is a little brighter and more eye catching, which is great for a holiday party.
Summary: Choose a suit with a jewel tone. Try dress pants. Go for fancier jeans. Select dress shoes. Wear a watch. Opt for silver cufflinks.

Problem: Article: In some cases, an increase in vitamin E may minimize or hide the severity of the symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. However, vitamin E will not slow down the disease. Strive to feed your hedgehog a diet rich in vitamin E, but keep in mind that this is only a temporary measure to help your hedgehog. Provide vitamin E rich foods, such as sunflower seeds, almonds, pine nuts, kiwi, and mangoes. Talk to your vet about introducing a vitamin E supplement into your hedgehog's diet. Some vets may recommend a supplement to slow the symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. A warm atmosphere will keep your hedgehog comfortable as symptoms progress. Keep your hedgehog in a warm area of your home, free from drafts and cold air. Provide extra bedding and blankets so your hedgehog can stay warm. Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome can make it difficult to access food and water. Keep food and water in easy-to-reach places in your hedgehog's cage. If your hedgehog tends to sleep in a particular area of the cage, keep its food and water there so it can eat and drink without moving too much. Hedgehogs with Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome have a reduced ability to groom themselves. They also get messy easier due to tremors. Clean your hedgehog more frequently to help it stay comfortable. Wash your hedgehog in a sink or tub filled with two to four inches of warm water. Rub a dime-sized dollop of baby shampoo over your hedgehog's back, belly, and feet and then rinse your hedgehog with clean water. When you're done bathing your hedgehog, gently pat it dry with a clean, dry towel. If your hedgehog has trouble getting up or is constantly laying down, then he may get bedsores. These will require treatment. You may also be able to minimize sores and rashes by keeping your hedgehog clean and dry.
Summary: Up your hedgehog's vitamin E intake. Keep your hedgehog warm. Make sure food and water are within reach. Clean your hedgehog more frequently.

Problem: Article: . U.S. Customary units, sometimes called "Standard Units" in the U.S, are based on feet and inches. The inch is the basic unit in U.S. standard measurement. There are 12 inches in a foot. Most rulers are 12 inches long. Longer rulers, which are 3 feet long (or 36 inches long, equal to one yard) are called yardsticks. Most countries don't use this unit of measurement any longer, preferring the metric system. These are larger lines next to large numbers on your ruler. The distance between one of these larger lines and the next is one inch. Most student rulers can measure up to 12 inches at a time. You will want to measure accurately, so you will have to know more than just where the inch markers are. These delineate different fractions of an inch to help you measure as accurately as possible. The smallest lines in between inch markers on a ruler represent 1/16 of an inch. The next largest lines represent 1/8 of an inch. The next largest lines show 1/4 inches. The longest line between inch markers shows 1/2 an inch. You will want to measure as closely an accurately to a fraction of an inch to get a true measurement of an object.

Problem: Article: Once established, the tree can withstand short periods of drought, but it always prefers to be kept moist. When it is still young, within the first one or two seasons after being planted, you should give the tree a thorough watering if you experience a drought that lasts for two weeks or more. You can prune during the late fall or on a mildly cold day in winter, while temperatures are above the freezing point. You can also prune during the late spring, after the blooms have fallen from the tree. Remove diseased wood first. Then, cut away old lower branches close to the trunk, as well as any branches that are intertwined or growing in the wrong direction. Never remove more than 1/4 of the tree at once. Ideally, you should test the soil each fall to determine if it's missing any vital nutrients. Instead of picking a general all-purpose fertilizer, add amendments that will introduce the lacking nutrients back into the soil. Many redbud trees grow well enough on their own without the use of fertilizer, but this may not be true in all cases, so it's important to check the soil on a yearly basis. Typically, you won't need to add much if any nitrogen to the soil. You may need to select a slow-release fertilizer with higher concentrations of phosphorus and potassium than of nitrogen, and only apply it once, toward the beginning of the autumn. Leaf anthracnose, botryosphaeria canker, and verticillium wilt are the three diseases that affect redbud trees most often. Wood-boring bugs have been known to attack the soft wood of these trees, and insects like the redbud leaffolder, grape leaffolder, and Japanese weevil are known to eat the leaves. A healthy tree is less likely to succumb to these threats than a damaged tree, so prevention is the best remedy. An infected tree should first be made healthy before you consider applying an appropriate pesticide or fungicide.
Summary:
Make sure the tree receives moderate amounts of water. Keep the branches pruned. Fertilize only as needed. Watch out for pests and disease.
