In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Using a single pine board, you're going to make a simple shelf hanging from leather straps. The board can be as long or short as you like, though for the purposes of providing a guided example, a length of 12" (30.5 cm) is used. All said, you'll need: Chisel (approximately " (.64 cm) wide) Clamps Hammer & nails Leather punch Leather strap (x2; each 20" (50.8 cm) long) Level Pencil Pine board (1-1/8 (2.86 cm) thick, 12" (30.5 cm) long) Ruler/tape measure Sandpaper (optional; recommended) Saw (optional) You'll need a flat, stable surface to work efficiently and safely. Clear any obstacles or tripping hazards, like electrical cords and unused equipment, out of the way. You may want to work somewhere with hard floor, like your garage, where it'll be easy to clean up wood dust and shavings. Lay your board flat on its long, wide face. With your pencil and ruler, measure and mark a line a " (.64 cm) in from one of the long edges so the line extends completely from one end of the board to the other. This line is where you will remove some wood to create a notch in which your pictures will be held. Clamp your wood to your work surface so the wood is firmly held in place. Take your chisel and place it on your notch-line. There should be at least " (.64) of wood between the edge of your notch and the edge of the board. Then: Angle the chisel low with respect to the board, with the slanted part of the chisel facing up. Slowly and carefully tap your chisel with a hammer to remove shavings and form your notch. Follow your notch-line with your chisel and hammer from end to end, longways, to create a shallow notch. Generally, your notch doesn't have to be very deep to effectively hold your pictures in place. If you plan on putting unframed pictures on this shelf, you'll only need a very thin notch that's not very deep. Pictures with thick frames will require thicker notches. If you are a little more familiar with woodworking and have the tool available, you may find it quicker and easier to use a wood router to cut your notch. In some cases, if the frame of a picture is too large, it may not fit easily or stably on this kind of shelf. After chiseling out the notch in your board, you may have burs, splinters, or rough spots that remain in the wood. This can give your wood an unfinished look. Run a medium (60 - 100) grit sandpaper over your notch until it's smooth. If necessary, cut your strap material so you have two straps each measuring 20" (50.8 cm). Use a leather punch to create holes in both ends of both strips. A nail will fasten the ends of each strap to the wall. Depending on your home and space restrictions, you may want a low hanging shelf, or you may want one that doesn't hang much at all. It's always safest and most reliable to hang things on studs, but this small shelf will likely hang on most sturdy walls without causing damage even without a stud. To attach your hanging shelf: Mark and measure two points about 10" (25.4 cm) apart, where each strap will attach to the wall. Use a level to make sure the line between the marks is flat. Slide a nail through both punched holes of each leather strap so the strap forms a closed loop. Then use your hammer to hang the strap at the first mark on your wall, then do the same with the second strap. Slide your wooden board, notched side facing up, into the loops formed by your leather straps. Slot pictures into the notch and enjoy your handiwork.
Summary: Gather your supplies and equipment. Ready your work area. Draw a notch-line on your pine board. Chisel out the notch. Sand the board. Prepare the leather straps. Attach the leather straps and shelf to the wall.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is the correct posture for kicking into the needle and will minimize injury. Do not transform a scorpion into a needle as the way to get into the needle position. Though it may be easier for stretching, moving from a scorpion into a needle will twist and tweak your posture and balance, making injury more likely. Going from a scorpion into a needle also takes longer and shifts your balance. This is not good when you're up in the air! Aligning your shoulders and hips is essential for elegant, energized posture in the needle. Kicking off of the ground with a strong punch sweeps your leg all the way towards the back of your head. It can be difficult to do this motion at the beginning. If it is, try holding your leg out in front of you at a forty-five degree angle and let gravity help you to get enough momentum to kick the leg higher and higher. Once you've caught your leg, re-point foot and toe, and smile! Luckily you have two hands to catch this wild leg, so at first touch, grab on tight, expand your chest and drop your shoulders, and show them your smile! If you have more than a millisecond that you need to hold the needle, balance yourself, breathe, and relax into the position.
Summary: Stand perfectly straight, with shoulders and hips aligned, facing forward. Balance your weight on your supporting leg, and engage your core muscles. Kick off the ground with other leg, foot and toe pointed as soon as it leaves the ground. Catch straightened leg with both hands. Balance yourself, breathe, and deepen your position.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the easiest ways to meet new girls is by hanging out with your existing friends and building relationships with their friends. When you get together for social situations, encourage your friends to bring their female friends along. You can ask your friends to introduce you to their friends before the social gathering if you're nervous. Talk to girls in your classes and make it a point to try to group up with them for class assignments. If you are out of school or don't go to school, sign up for a class at a local community center in a subject that interests you. Start by talking about class oriented things before moving onto more personal conversation. Say something like, "Jeez, this homework is the most intense stuff ever. Are you getting it?" Meeting girls at work will give you something common to talk about and will be less stressful than introducing yourself to a stranger. Go out of your way to talk to the girls at work that you like. Once you build up a friendship, ask them if they would want to chill outside of work. Talk about work by saying something like, "Seriously? Three double shifts this week! Don't you wish that the scheduling was a little more organized?" Ask her to hang out by saying something like, "Yo, I think you're really chill. Would you want to hang outside of work sometime?" Or you could get more specific and say something like, "What are you doing this Friday? Want to go to happy hour with me?" A bookstore is a great place to meet new girls and gives you a good topic to strike up an initial conversation. If you see a girl checking out a book you enjoyed, introduce yourself and strike up a conversation about the book. You can say something like, "The second book in that series is one of my favorites. Are you a fan of Bukowski?" If you feel intimidated by the bar or club, bring along a couple of your friends. Try to make eye contact with girls that you see at the bar and walk up and introduce yourself to them. If you want to talk to the girl, make sure you go to a bar or club that isn't too loud. You can say something like, "Hey I saw you on the other side of the bar. My name's Gerald, what's your name?" Or you could say "Your sneakers are really cool, are they the new Air Max Goraths? I was thinking about getting a pair of them myself."
Summary:
Meet girls by hanging out with your friends. Introduce yourself to girls in your classes. Meet new girls at work. Go to a bookstore to meet girls. Meet new girls at the bar or club.
