INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Treat oil stains on wood as soon as they occur to prevent the oil from sinking deep into the wood and causing stains. Blot the stain with paper towels, newspaper or blotting paper, pressing the paper firmly until you're sure you have soaked up the oil. Wear rubber gloves throughout this technique to avoid any skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Place some warm water in a bowl and add some mild detergent. Use your hands to mix the solution and create soapsuds. Place some of the soapsuds onto the stained area with a clean cloth and rub onto the affected area. Be gentle enough to avoid scratching the wood, but firm enough to work the suds into the wood grain. For more stubborn or deeper stains, scrub the soapsuds in with a soft brush. Avoid harsher abrasives like steel brushes, as they may scratch your wooden surface. Once you have finished cleaning, rinse the area with clean water, or wipe it down with a clean damp cloth. This will remove any remaining oily residue or soapsuds. Drying the wood removes moisture so you are better able to determine if the stain has been removed. Allow the wood to air dry if it is still not completely dry. Once the wood is completely dry, check to see if the stain is still there. If still evident, you'll need to apply further treatment.

SUMMARY: Soak up the oil with a paper towel. Mix up a mild detergent solution in a bowl. Clean the oily area with your solution. Rinse the wood with clean water. Pat dry the wood with a clean cloth or towel.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When mixing the egg into the ricotta, you can further customize the cheese to give subtle new flavors to the lasagna. Try adding: 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated. 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper 1/2 cup minced parsley 1/2 tablespoon grated nutmeg. This can be a great substitute for meat, but vegetables can also become fantastic complements to a meat sauce as well. Cook the vegetables in the oil for 5-7 minutes, until tender, along with the onions and garlic, then proceed to make the sauce like usual. If you are using it along with meat, cut the following amounts in half and cook the vegetables separately, then add to the sauce with the meat. 1 large eggplant, diced. 1 large zucchini, sliced. 1 lb small white mushrooms, sliced. Cut your eggplant into 1/4-inch slices and fry until soft in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside and pat dry with a paper towel, then add the sliced eggplant after the sauce. Top with mozzarella and continue layering as normal, placing a layer of eggplant after every layer of sauce. You can also try layers of: Roasted butternut squash. Blanched spinach. Just because you can't enjoy pasta doesn't mean you can't enjoy lasagna. Layer in thin polenta cakes instead, treating the rest of the recipe exactly as normal. This ingenious, low-carb recipe is not layered exactly the same way, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. To make it: Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Cook the squash in a baking dish, cut-side down, for 45-60 minutes (450) or until easily pierced with a fork. Pour roughly an inch of water into the pan to prevent them from drying out. Fill each squash half with layers, starting with 1-2 dollops of ricotta, then sauce and mozzarella. Repeat until full. Cook the mini lasagnas for 20 minutes in the oven (450), until the cheese is melted on top of the squash. You can use grilled or shredded chicken instead of beef, if you'd like, though it is not necessary. The principles are all the same as Italian lasagna, but you can get a totally different dish with some simple swaps: Tomato Sauce Taco Sauce Riccotta/Mozzarella Queso Fresco/Cheddar Noodles Corn Tortillas Italian seasoning Ground Cumin, cayenne, red pepper, onion powder Add 1 can of black beans and 1 can of yellow corn to sauce mixture.

SUMMARY: Mix new flavors into your ricotta for a light taste addition. Cook "meaty" vegetables into your sauce for a vegetarian option. Create a layer of fried eggplant on top of the sauce. Use polenta cakes instead of noodles for a gluten-free option. Substitute spaghetti squash for noodles to make individual servings. Use some south of the border substitutions for Mexican lasagna.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a wide variety of cleaning products you can use to help clean your vinyl fence. Two of the easiest to use, though, are vinegar and household dish detergent. Both are effective, cheap, and safe to use. Vinegar is a great natural product that you may already have at home. Mild dish detergents, like Dawn, will help cut through mildew, dirt, and more. After you've decided which cleaning agent you want to use, you'll need to mix it with water to create your cleaning solution. If you choose vinegar, take 1 cup (240 ml) of vinegar and add it to 2 gallons (7.57 L) of water. If you choose dish detergent, take several tablespoons of detergent (depending on the brand) and add it to 2 gallons (7.57 L) of water. Take a rag or other cloth and soak it in your solution. Use it to wipe down your fence. Make sure you wipe down your fence good and get as much dirt and grime off as possible. Go back and forth or in a swirl-like fashion to make sure you properly clean every portion of the fence. Make sure you have enough clean rags, so you can switch dirty ones out for clean ones as you need. You may want to use a bristled brush to scrub extra dirty sections of the fence. Consider using an extra bucket full of water to rinse your rag after you wipe down a section of the fence. Use a hose with a sprayer nozzle to rinse your fence. Start at the top and move horizontally across and allow the water to wash debris downward. Slowly move down the fence, continuing to move in a horizontal direction. Without rinsing your fence, your cleaning solution and other dirt will set and your fence won't appear clean.

SUMMARY: Choose between vinegar and detergent. Create your cleaning solution. Wipe down your fence. Rinse your fence.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your flamethrower does massive damage, but it's very short-ranged, so you must use it carefully. Don't charge at your opponents head-on while blasting your flamethrower. It's intimidating, but you'll probably be gunned down before you can even singe another player. Instead, try to sneak up behind a group of enemies, get up as close as you can, and then let your flamethrower rip! As a Pyro, fear is essentially your middle name. You generally live to cause chaos and confusion in other players. Apart from an oncoming Heavy, nothing is more intimidating to an enemy than a set of flames that continues to damage him or her after you are out of the way. As such, you'll find that players tend to scatter and run from you, which helps to keep the enemy team from executing cohesive strategies. As a Pyro, Spies fear you more than any other class. If you see the brief silhouette of a player flicker before you, immediately let loose with your flamethrower to reveal any cloaked Spies near you. Even spies in disguises can be set on fire by a vigilant pyro, instantly blowing their cover. The Pyro is the only class that can effectively break an ubercharge. You can use the flamethrower's compression blast to separate a medic from his uber-ed companion. If you separate the two by enough distance, the medic will no longer be able to share his uber with his buddy and your teammates will be able to gang up to finish both off. Do this when the uber players don't see you coming, as an uber-ed Heavy will make short work of an oncoming Pyro.

SUMMARY:
Take your enemies by surprise. Disrupt the enemy team's coordination. Reveal spies with your flamethrower. Use the compression blast to break ubercharges.
