INPUT ARTICLE: Article: By working your ankles out, you'll build ankle strength and flexibility. Increased strength and flexibility will help you start faster and turn quicker. To accomplish this, commit to exercises like: Skipping rope Standing on one leg Squats Ankle rockers. Do this by sitting on the back of your ankles, leaning back, and lifting your knees upward. Try to hold this for about a minute or two. Do several repetitions. Ankle rotations. Simply rotate your ankles around in circles 15 to 20 times. A balanced kick will help you move through the water in a much more consistent fashion. To improve your kick, commit to a vertical kicking training routine. To do this, stand in a moderately deep part of the pool and work on your swimming kick while standing up. To further improve the balance of your kick: Use a weight belt or drag sox. Try kicking with swim fins. One of the biggest problems people have is that they kick downward rather than backward. Instead of this, move your legs (as a whole) backwards -- as if you are pushing back -- instead of kicking downward. Think of your legs as one large fin moving back and forth in the water. Concentrate and make sure that your kicks are deliberate. Make sure you are focused on how your body and legs are moving together. If you're unfocused, you may kick, but you won't kick with purpose and in an effective manner. In the end, you may wind up zig-zagging or slowing yourself down.

SUMMARY: Exercise your ankles. Balance your kick. Kick backwards. Kick with purpose.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Mitering your crown molding involves cutting each corner at an angle so that the edges fit together perfectly. This involves using an angle finder and miter saw to cut 2 pieces of molding at half of the corner's angle. However, there will always be a visible seam where the 2 lengths of your molding meet, and you will end up with a gap between the 2 pieces if your cuts aren't perfect. Mitering a corner will typically take 10 minutes per piece, although it may take you a little longer if you've never done it before. This is a great choice if you know your wall is flat. Place a level along the wall near your ceiling to see if it's perfectly flat. This method will use 2 angle cuts to fit 2 pieces of crown molding together. An inside corner refers to any corner where 2 walls meet at an internal angle, forming a 45-degree angle as you face it. An outside corner is where 2 walls form an external angle, forming a 135-degree angle when you're facing it. Place one half of your angle finder against one of your walls. Adjust the other half of your angle finder by moving it with your free hand to place it flush against the adjacent wall. Look at the indicator attached to your angle finder to determine the angle of your walls. Usually, your walls will meet at a 90-degree angle. You can use an adjustable protractor or combination square instead of an angle finder if you'd like. There are digital angle finders that make reading the angle easier. Use a measuring tape to calculate the length of the wall. Take your crown molding and use the length of your wall to determine where you need to make your bevel cut. Mark the backside and bottom of your crown molding with a pencil to track the location where you're going to install it in the corner. Keep in mind that you need to mark the proper corner based on the orientation. So if you're installing the right side of the crown molding in the corner, you need to mark the left end on the back and the right side at the bottom. A bevel cut is any type of cut made at an angle. Unlock the rotating table on your miter saw by flipping the handle or pressing the unlock button. Move the handle until your indicator reads 90 or 0, depending on how your table's guide is designed. As long as the blade is perpendicular to the crown molding, you're good. Even though you're cutting the joint to fit a 45-degree angle, you still need to cut the piece to fit the length of your wall. You can skip this step if your molding is already cut to size. You can use a miter template and a handsaw instead of a miter saw if you'd like. A miter saw template is basically a plastic box with an open top that has slots for a handsaw. Move the handle on your blade until your indicator matches the desired angle. If your wall is 90 degrees, set your miter saw to cut at 45 degrees. Otherwise, divide the angle of your corner by 2 to determine the angle you need to cut your crown molding. Whether you move your blade to the left or right dependent upon what side of the wall you're cutting for. So if you need the crown molding to meet the inside corner on the right side and you're cutting from the front, move your blade to the left and vice versa. Set your molding down in the saw's table, flush against the fence under your blade. Adjust your crown molding until the cutting line sits flush with the guide line for the blade. Use c-clamps or table clamps to hold your crown molding still by wrapping them around the table and molding before tightening them. You can skip the clamps if you've got experience with a miter saw. Simply use your nondominant hand to keep the crown molding flush against the fence. The fence is the straight edge that you use to keep your material still and lined up. Take your blade protector off if you have one. Turn your saw on and give your blades 5-10 seconds to get up to speed. Carefully and slowly lower your saw to make your bevel cut. Slide the saw all the way through the crown molding before lifting it up to ensure that your cut is clean. Turn the power on your saw off. Wear safety goggles, a dust mask, and gloves to protect yourself from sawdust while you're cutting. Most miter saws have a built-in catcher for sawdust though, so this shouldn't be too big of an issue. Miter saws are pretty easy to use since the blade is locked in to cut at a specific angle.
Summary: Plan to spend 10-15 minutes mitering your corners. Use an angle finder to determine the angle of your corner. Measure your wall and mark the corner you're going to cut. Set up the table of your miter saw to cut at a 90-degree angle. Adjust your blade to cut at an angle based on your wall's angle. Clamp your crown molding in place under the miter saw. Lower the saw to make a bevel cut at your desired angle.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A great way to showcase a larger collection of hand selected cards is by organizing them in a binder. Purchase a binder and pocket protection pages. You will be able to find the pocket protectors online or at your local hobby store. Organize your baseball cards by brand and year. Start with the oldest, most valuable cards, and move to the newer, less valuable cards. Decide what the collection is worth as a whole. You may find it helpful to look for similar collections online, to see what they're charging. Take a moment to jot down every card in the collection in the order you are presenting them in. This will help you understand the worth, and inform the buyers of what exactly they are purchasing. Always ask for a price a little higher than what they are really worth. This will open up a negotiation and barter between you and the buyer. Negotiate the best deal you can for your collection. Collect payment before sending your card collection out or having it collected if completing the transaction online. A secure way of paying and receiving payment online is a service like PayPal.

SUMMARY:
Purchase presentation supplies. Present your cards. Research similar collections. Determine a starting price.
