Q: Let your stubble grow to the point of being a short beard. As with a regular haircut, you can always take more off, but you can't put back what is no longer attached. Grow your beard to a length that you know is slightly longer than you'd ever want to keep your stubble. How long this will take depends entirely on your particular beard growth. For some men this may take three or four days while for others it could be over a week. Start with a slightly longer setting on your trimmer such as a 4. This will take all of your hair down to an even length. Especially for men with dark, thick beards, this setting will probably be too scruffy for the look they want, but it works for somethink Hugh Jackman. Once you have an even length to work with, begin trimming your stubble down in increments to find the right length for you. The length you decide on will ultimately depend on your hair density, hair color, and how clean of a designer stubble look you want. Remember that you may also choose to keep the stubble on different parts of your face at different lengths to achieve a cleaner look. You may decide that the best look for you is using a 3 setting along your jaw and moustache but a 2 setting on your cheeks to create a more blended look that fades rather than ends dramatically. Don't worry if taking the length down makes spots like your cheeks feel patchy. Some men such as Ryan Gosling rock the designer stubble look with barely any hair extending onto their cheeks. You'll clean up those patchy spots in the next step. Once you have the length of your stubble where you want it, you can take care of stray hairs or asymmetrical spots by cleaning up around the edges. For this, you can take the setting guard off your trimmer to use it as a set of electric clippers, or you can use a plain old safety razor. Common areas to clean up while edging include the sparse hairs some men get high up on their cheek bones or upper lip hairs that might take away from the definition one wants in his moustache.
A: Stop shaving. Use a long setting on your hair trimmer. Shorten in increments. Clean the edges.

Q: You will need a high school diploma in order to get most skilled jobs. If you're in high school and you don't think it is helping you move toward your goal, remember that when you are a diesel mechanic you will be using a variety of skills learned in school, such as math and physics. If you know you want to be a mechanic before entering high school, consider going to a technical high school in your area. The programs at these schools often give students who want to go into a trade a good head start in their careers. If you do not have a high school diploma and are too old to go to high school, don't despair. You can take classes and get a high school equivalency degree at any age. Some high schools offer general shop classes that will allow you to get comfortable using tools and machinery. In some specialized technical schools, you may even be able to take auto mechanic, electrical, or machining classes. Even basic classes in science and math can help you in your goal of becoming a diesel mechanic. For example, science classes in physics and chemistry can help you understand how engines work. Even if your high school doesn't have a technical program, that doesn't mean you can't learn on your own. Many diesel mechanics start out working on smaller, simpler engines. Consider having an ongoing engine project at home that allows you to do some hands-on learning. Practice working on auto, motorcycle, or small machine engines, such as those in lawn mowers. Understanding how these simpler and smaller engines work will help you work your way up towards being a diesel mechanic. Diesel mechanics need to have an understanding of electrical systems, in addition to engines. Get some practice with electrical systems as well if you can. Go to your local department of motor vehicles or their website and look up the requirements. In most cases you will need to be 18, have a valid regular driver's license, pass a written test, and take a driving test. This license is required when operating large vehicles. As a diesel mechanic, you will need to be able to drive vehicles that are in need of repair, have been repaired, and need to be tested and adjusted while being fixed.
A: Get a high school diploma. Take classes that will enhance your knowledge about engines. Get experience with a wide variety of engines. Obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL).

Q: Mature lavender is fairly drought-resistant, but while lavender is within its first year of growth, it needs regular watering. Normal weather conditions often suffice, but if you live in an area that is particularly dry or if you have not received much rain, you should regularly soak the soil. Allow the soil to dry out in between watering, though. Herbicides, pesticides, and even fertilizers can kill the beneficial organisms that live in the garden soil and help your lavender to thrive. Skip the fertilizer altogether once planted in the ground. If a pesticide is needed, try an organic pesticide solution that contains no chemicals, since this is less likely to have a negative effect. Lavender grows slowly during the first year, and most of the plant's energy goes toward root development and vegetative growth. You should encourage this process by cutting off any flowering stems once the first buds begin to open during the first growing season. After the first year, cut flowering stems after 1/3 of the buds have opened to encourage further growth. Leave behind at least 1/3 of the new growth. Keep the soil warm by applying gravel or bark mulch around the base of the plant, leaving 6 inches (15 1/4 cm) of free space around the stem for air circulation.
A: Water the lavender only when dry. Avoid chemicals. Prune the lavender. Mulch during cold weather.

Q: There are many types of commercial property, and you'll have an easier time searching if you narrow down what you are looking for: Retail buildings Office buildings Warehouses Apartment buildings Mixed-use buildings (which can house both office space and apartments) Banks list their properties on their websites. Just type the name of a bank and "REO" into your favorite search engine. Some banks with REO commercial properties include the following: US Bank Wells Fargo BMO Harris This website has listings for bank owned commercial properties around the U.S. You can find them at http://www.loopnet.com/bank-owned-properties-for-sale/. Register for free to access the website's premium listings. The listings will state the size, price, and type of commercial property, such as street retail, office building, residential, and more. Look in your newspaper to find upcoming auctions. Banks always try to auction their REO properties before listing them for sale. Statistics show that most properties at auction are never bid on. Because of this, auctions are a good way to identify commercial properties that are soon to be on the market. An experienced commercial broker can find listings that are otherwise hidden from you. Find a broker by looking in your phonebook or asking another investor who they used when buying commercial real estate. Make sure whichever broker you hire has experience with commercial properties.
A:
Identify the type of commercial property you want. Visit bank websites. Search the listings at Loopnet. Monitor local real estate auctions. Work with a real estate broker.
