Q: Start by drawing a straight diagonal line going up from the edge of your paper. Don't make the line too long, or else you won't be able to fit the rest of the cap on the page. At the end of your first line, add another diagonal line going down that's the same length and angle as the first one. Make a line that is parallel to the first one you drew starting from the end of the second line. Finally, connect the ends of the first and last line you drew. The rhombus will look like a sideways diamond where each side is the same length. You can use a straightedge or ruler if you want to make the sides of your rhombus precise. Start your line halfway along one of the bottom sides of the cap. Extend the line down slightly slanted away from the center of the cap so it's half the length of one of the rhombus's sides. Draw another diagonal line down from the center of the other bottom side so its the same length as the first one you drew. The diagonal lines coming down from the top of the cap form the sides of the skullcap, which is the part that goes around your head. Begin at the end of one of the slanted lines, and sketch a slow arch down going toward the other slanted line. Make the lowest point of the arch line up with the center of your rhombus to make the hat look like it's in perspective. Connect the end of the curved line to the end of the slanted line on the other side to finish the skullcap. Sketch in your lines lightly just in case you have to erase and draw the curved line again. The board of a graduation cap usually has a button that holds the tassel in place. Find the middle of the rhombus you drew and draw a horizontal oval that's about the size of your fingernail. The string from the tassel hangs down directly from the button. Draw a line coming from the side of the button and extend it to one of the bottom sides of the cap. Once you reach the side of the cap, curve the line down to make it look like it's hanging over the edge. End the line halfway down the sides of the skullcap. Make another line that's parallel to the first one you drew so there's a small gap between them to finish the string. You can draw the string coming down from either the left or right side of the button. The tassel on a graduation is made up of many strings tied together that hangs down from the cap. Draw a small circle at the ends of the parallel lines to form the base of the tassel. Then draw straight lines coming down from the sides of the circle for the strings. Close the bottom of the tassel with a horizontal zig-zag line to make it look like the ends of the strings are different lengths. If you want to add more detail to the tassel, make straight vertical lines coming down from the circle to make it look like the individual strings.
A: Draw a horizontal rhombus for the top of the cap. Add 2 slanted vertical lines down from the sides of the cap. Connect the bottoms of the slanted lines with a curved line. Make a small oval in the middle of the rhombus for the button. Sketch 2 parallel lines curving over one side of the cap to draw the string. Draw the tassel on the end of the parallel lines. Finished.

Q: Gather parsley before the first flowers start to open, and gather it in the morning after the dew has dried. It will have maximum flavor at this time of day; the heat of the afternoon will diminish the parsley's flavor. Alternately, purchase fresh parsley at a grocery store. Choose bright green bunches of parsley that look nice and smell fresh. Don't pick parsley that is shriveled, brown, moldy, or is dried out. Carefully cut the parsley with stems still attached, and be careful to not bruise the leaves. Use cold water to rinse, and then shake the parsley gently to remove excess water from the leaves. This will remove any residual dirt, as well as any bugs that crawled into your parsley. Place a paper towel on a plate and place a single layer of parsley leaves on it. Then cover the leaves with another paper towel. Watch them constantly to ensure that they do not burn. If the parsley is not fully dry, gently toss the parsley leaves to ensure it is drying evenly. Microwave the leaves for another 30 seconds. Times may vary depending on the model of your microwave. Follow the instructions for your microwave.
A: Harvest fresh parsley from your garden. Rinse the parsley. Cover the parsley with paper towels. Microwave the leaves for 30 seconds. Store the dried parsley in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Finished.

Q: You'll need to take classes at your local SCCA to move up from novice. You need to move up from novice status to compete professionally. Once you apply to be a novice, you have 2 years to compete in three races. At your third race, you should have your novice permit signed by the Chief Steward to show you have completed the required number of races. You can find the application on the SCCA website. This application will allow you to have a full competition license. You will also need to pay a fee with this application. You will also need a copy of your physical exam with this application. The more races you compete in, the better you'll become. The best way to jump into professional races is to start winning local races. Sponsors will notice if you've got the talent to compete professionally, and you need sponsors to move up to the professional level, unless you can front the money for professional races (which can run into the 100,000s with equipment and entry fees).
A: Complete a driver school. Compete in three races. Have your novice permit signed. Print off the Competition License Application. Fill out the Competition License Application. Mail in the application. Hone your skills. Win races.
