article: For most ovens, this is 200F (93C). If you're using an electric oven, you will probably need to wait 10 to 15 minutes for preheating. For gas ovens, it will take about 5 to 10 minutes. Position the oven rack into the lowest position. For increased accuracy, use an oven thermometer to track temperature. Take all of your dry seeds and place them in an envelope. From here, you can wait to plant them next year or roast them when you feel like it! If you notice any seeds with mildew or mold, discard them before storing them. Always store dried pumpkin seeds in a cool, dry place. If you like, you can keep them in the refrigerator or freezer until planting season arrives.

Bend with your toes.The demi-plie or half bend refers to the bending of the knees, so you need to lower yourself by bending at the knees. Keep your heels planted. Rise slowly and gracefully. Return to first position. Practice demi-plies from other positions."
article: There are five different foot positions in ballet, and you can perform a demi-plie (half bend) in all of them. This means that to perform a proper demi-plie from each position, you must first be comfortable with the basic positions. Each position utilizes turn-out, which is the rotation of the leg from the hip joint. The objective is to have the heels and toes face perpendicular to the direction of the body rather than parallel. Do not expect to perform a perfect turn-out immediately. Forcing turn-out can cause many injuries. Even some professional dancers do not have perfect turn-out after years of practice. In addition to each position having a different foot placement, each position also utilizes a different arm placement or port de bras. You can read more information on the different ballet positions at How to Do All Five Ballet Positions. Though you can perform a demi-plie in any of the five positions, use the first position for initial practice. First position requires the heels be placed touching (or close to it) with your legs turned out as close to 180 degrees as you can manage. You also want to have your legs and back straight. The turn-out should come mostly from the leg at the hip joint. Do not place excess strain on the knees or ankles by forcing each foot closer to 90 degrees than you can do normally. Use your muscles to keep your knees over the feet rather than the two being out of alignment. Initially your turn-out in first position will look more like a V than a straight line. A wider turn-out simply comes with practice. Your upper body should remain in the same positionshoulders down, head up, bottom tuckedthroughout the movement. One of the most common problems with plie form for beginners is due to sticking out one's butt while lowering as though lowering into a crouch. Don't stick your backside out or adjust your hips, simply lower at the knees while keeping the rest of the body straight. Demi-plies regardless of the beginning position require the heels to stay firmly planted on the ground. Do not bend so far that it forces your heels to come off the ground. Rather than a deep bend, which is the territory of a grand-plie, you only want to bend your knees until they extend just over your toes. While ballet dancers do rise quickly out of plies and use them as springboards for jumps and pirouettes, beginners should practice rising slowly and fluidly to help perfect the form. Rather than simply straightening your knees, you want to push your weight straight down into the floor with your legs and feet to push yourself back up. Using the legs and feet gives the motion much more fluidity, and it also places less strain on the knees. Continue keeping your shoulders down, head up, and bottom tucked during the upward movement. The motion should look more like the upper body is elevating rather than standing up since the upper body should already be straight. To finish the demi-plie, you will continue rising until the thighs and knees and back together. You will return to first position the same as you were in before performing the demi-plie. Once you feel comfortable with the basics of a demi-plie in first position, you can try plies from the other four ballet positions as well. They are harder, particularly in fifth position, so have patience and practice without rushing yourself.

The smell of gas is one of the best indications that you haven't successfully fixed a gas leak. While you might not always be able to smell a leak, you should pay attention to see if you do notice the smell of leaking gas. Gas smells like Sulphur or "rotten eggs." The smell of gas is made by mercaptan, an additive that is intended to help humans smell it. Shut off the master gas switch for your home and consider calling a professional if you smell gas. The gas main switch will be located next to your meter -- usually on the side of your home. Carbon monoxide detectors and gas detectors are normally used to alert people to gas leaks in their homes and businesses. While most detectors are stationary devices meant to detect an accumulation of carbon monoxide or other fumes, you can purchase portable detectors. Position your stationary carbon monoxide detector near the repair you've made. If you have a portable detector, move it near (within several inches) to the repair. If there is a gas buildup near the detector, it will sound an alarm. This works because the detector solution or soapy water will bubble due to the force of the leaking gas. Ultimately, this is a simple and effective way to find out if you've successfully fixed a gas leak. Commercially produced gas leak detector is specially formulated to stick to tight connections. If you want to create your own solution, try mixing a few drops of dish soap into a cup of water and spraying it onto the gas connection. If the solution bubbles, you likely failed to repair the leak. Gas detector may be available at your local home improvement store, specialty stores, or online.
