Problem: Article: After your first corner has been painted, paint the ceiling in strips that touch each other, and that run parallel to the direction in which you painted the first corner. For instance, if you painted the ceiling corner by pushing the loaded roller from the front to the back of your room, continue applying paint by moving the loaded roller along a front-to-back axis. In this way, you'll paint 2 corners, then the rest of the ceiling, then the final 2 corners. As you paint the ceiling, step back and examine your progress. Look for areas where the paint has been applied unevenly (that is, areas where the paint is too light). Roll the loaded roller across these areas when you detect them. If you decide to apply a second coat, use the same method you did the first timeuse the loaded roller to apply the paint in parallel stripsbut move in a direction perpendicular to the strips you applied the first time. If you do apply another coat, paint in a different direction that you applied the first coat. This is especially helpful if you have a textured ceiling.
Summary: Move in parallel strips to cover the ceiling. Evaluate your work regularly. Let the paint dry before deciding if it needs another coat.

Problem: Article: Flaxseed is a very small seed that is flat and oval shaped. The seeds are much smaller than sunflower seeds. It is found in more than one form and each has different properties. Flaxseed comes in red to golden varieties. The color of the seed doesn't mean the nutritional content is different, but the seeds may have a slightly different flavor. You can try the different varieties and determine which one has the most pleasing flavor. Some natural food stores may let you sample them in store so you do not have to purchase several types. Whole flaxseed is the unbroken tiny seeds. The benefits of whole flaxseed are that is has more fiber and a longer shelf life. It can also be used in more applications. The negative aspect to whole flaxseed is that the body may not fully digest the seed and the nutritional components may pass through the body unabsorbed. You can purchase whole flax seeds and grind them in your blender or coffee mill. Ground flaxseed, or flax meal, is the milled seeds. Ground flaxseed is slightly coarser than flour and has a nutty smell and flavor. Ground flaxseed can be purchased or it can be made at home. Ground flaxseed also allows for complete absorption of the nutritional components by the body. The drawback to purchasing ground flaxseed is the short shelf life. It doesn't last for more than a few weeks once it has been opened and should be stored in a cool, dark place for best quality. Unless stored in special mylar packaging, ground flaxseed loses much of its nutritional potency, or active compounds, within 24 hours. If you wish to store it long-term, make sure you are keeping the flaxseed in a resealable mylar bag. Many natural food stores offer flaxseed in bulk. It is usually cheaper than the pre-packaged flaxseed and you can get as little or as much as you need. Flaxseed generally runs from US$8.00 to $12.00 per lb depending on where it is purchased. Flaxseed oil is an easy way to get many of the health benefits of flaxseed. Keep it refrigerated to maintain freshness. Unlike the whole and ground seeds, flaxseed oil does not contain phytoestrogens. It does contain ALA fatty acids, however, which have health benefits.
Summary: Know what to purchase. Buy whole flaxseed. Buy ground flaxseed. Purchase flaxseed in bulk, if available. Buy flaxseed oil.

Problem: Article: Rinse the carrots under running water, scrubbing them gently with your fingers or a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Use a sharp knife to cut the carrots into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces and to slice the onions into thin rings. To save time, you may use baby carrots or carrots pre-cut into "coins" instead of whole carrots. Substitute roughly 5 to 8 baby carrots or 1/2 cup (125 ml) pre-cut coins per regular whole carrot. The onion can also be cut into quarters or minced. The flavor of the gravy will not be dramatically affected either way, so how you cut the onions is mainly a matter of aesthetic taste. Substitute dried onion flakes or onion powder for the fresh onion, if desired. This step saves time and also makes it possible to get the onion flavor while hiding the actual onion from picky eaters. Use 1/4 cup (60 ml) dried onion flakes or 1 tsp (5 ml) onion powder. Mix the two ingredients together in a small bowl using a whisk or fork. Use a medium-high heat, and allow the oil to warm for a full minute or so. A little will go a long way. If you aren't sure about the amount, start with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) each and go from there. Make sure to season all sides. Place the roast in the skillet and sear in 30 to 60 second intervals, flipping it over with tongs after each interval until all sides are browned. This step is only optional. You do not have to pre-brown the roast in order to cook it in the slow cooker, but pre-browning adds more flavor to the roast and the gravy.
Summary:
Wash the carrots. Cut the carrots and onion. Combine the broth and Worcestershire sauce. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper. Brown the roast in the skillet.
