Q: Dry eye can be treated with lubricating drops. Lubricating drops, also known as artificial tears, can help alleviate dryness by replacing the layer of tear film that helps keep eyes wet. It can also help spread tears evenly across the surface of your eye. Artificial tear drops are available over the counter and in many different brands, such as Clear Eyes and Visine. These over the counter drops can be used four to six times daily, or as needed. Try many different brands to find what works best for your eyes. In some cases, a combination of a few brands may be even be necessary. Chronic dry eye sufferers should speak with their doctors. If you are always suffering from dry eye, eye fatigue, tired eyes or headaches, you may be a chronic dry eye sufferer. There are some drops that require a prescription from your eye doctor to use. They consist of an artificial tears and other medications and substances that lubricate the eyes. Prescription tear substitutes, such as restasis, are generally administered three to four times a day. These drops relieve the symptoms however usually need to be reapplied frequently. You can use them up to six times a day, or just as needed. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and Carboxy Methylcellulose are the two most commonly used medications. If you are unsure of the dosages required for your drops, call your doctor or speak to your pharmacist to clarify the dosage. Contacts should be removed before drops you administer any drops and should stay out at least 30 minutes after you put them in. You may also be able to get drops specifically for contact users. There are some other eye drops that might be helpful with your dry eyes. Some of these drops include lubricating agents such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). Others drops may contain glycerin and polysorbate. These ingredients are able to mimic tears because they have similar surface tensions, which allows the drops to adhere to the surface of your eyes. When used, these drop increase the concentration of CMC or HPMC, which causes a gel like tear to form like a lubricating seal across your eye. These drops reduce the risk of allergy or sensitivity in already dry eyes. You may also use eye ointments, which can comfort your eyes due to their lubricating effect. These are particularly useful if you cannot use artificial tears for an extended period of time.
A: Use lubricating drops. Try medicated drops. Use other eye products.

Q: This is dependent on the type of skateboarding that you do. There are different needs for street, sidewalk and skate park boarding, and you should try out a few wheels at your local skate shop to see what you like within those categories. Think about where you skate, how often you skate, and if you prefer doing tricks or cruising around town. Bigger or heavier riders usually prefer slightly bigger wheels. While some skaters contend that different dyes change wheel properties, your color choice is almost completely cosmetic. Today, all wheels are made from polyurethane, and higher a durometer number means that the wheel is made of a harder plastic. For example, a 95A wheel is much harder than an 80A one. Though rare, some companies produce "B" scale wheels. A B wheel is 20 points harder than it's "A" counterpart: thus an 80B wheel is as hard as a 100A wheel. If you skate a bit of everything, consider getting a wheel around 90A-97A. Soft wheels (75A-85A) absorb the impact of pebbles, sticks, and cracks for better cruising on roads. Hard wheels (95A+) have more pop for jumps, grinds, and tricks. Always measured in millimeters, the diameter of a wheel is anywhere between 50mm for street boards to 75mm for longboards. Larger wheels cover more ground per rotation, and are thus faster. Small wheels sit lower to the ground are are less heavy. Few companies list the width of a wheel, but in general wider wheels provide more balance, speed, and a smoother ride. A good all-purpose wheel is anywhere from 52-60 mm. Remember that the larger the wheel, the faster you'll go. For technical skating and tricks, you want responsive wheels that are easy to get off the ground. This prevents your wheels from catching on lips or grinds and makes it easy to perform ollies and flip-tricks. Durometer -- 97A and above Diameter-- 48-52mm Note: Super small (48mm) and super hard (101A, 85B) wheels require good technique to handle, and are generally for experienced or professional riders. On ramps and half-pipes you'll want a lot of speed but don't have to worry about hitting sticks or pebbles. Harder wheels will give you good control for tricks and mobility. Durometer -- 90A-97A Diameter-- 55-60mm Note: You can get bigger wheels to get more speed once you get comfortable. Bigger wheels are faster, and soft wheels absorb vibrations that make your ride uncomfortable or difficult. Most larger wheels are also wider as well, giving you increased stability. Durometer--75A-85A, and 78A is generally considered standard. Diameter-- 64-75mm A good "starter wheel" is usually 52-55mm, 99A -- well balanced for most terrains. Most wheels today say what they are designed for on the package, so make sure you read the box.
A: Consider what type of wheels you need. Know that durometer rating is a measure of a wheel's hardness. Know that the diameter of a wheel refers to its size. Use small, hard wheels if you are a street skater. Use mid-sized, hard wheels for skating vert. Use big, soft wheels if you skate mostly for transportation. Talk to your local skate shop staff if you still don't know what to buy.

Q: Remove cup (1 stick) of butter from the refrigerator about 2 hours before beginning this recipe to give it time to soften. Strip the leaves from several sprigs of thyme. Chop them finely until you have about cup (32 g) of thyme. If you can't wait 2 hours, microwave the butter in 15-second increments until it is soft enough to work with. Put the softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon (5 g) of coarse sea salt and 1 teaspoon (5 g) of freshly-ground black pepper. Add the chopped thyme and use a spatula or spoon to thoroughly mix the butter until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Tightly cover the bowl or transfer the thyme butter to an airtight container. Place it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to three months. Slather thyme butter over freshly-baked bread, add a pat of it to a hot steak, slip it into a steaming baked potato, or use it to butter corn on the cob. The possibilities are endless!
A:
Soften the butter and chop the thyme. Mix thyme, salt, and pepper into the butter. Cover and store the thyme butter in the fridge. Serve thyme butter with your favorite dishes.
