Q: Carpenter ants are usually brown or black. Some are a combination of black and orange. While you need more than color to figure out if you have carpenter ants, noting color is a good place to start. As you observe ants, try estimate their size. Carpenter ants are not very big. Normally, you will see worker ants around your home. They are generally 3/8 to 1/2 an inch. However, in some areas carpenter ants tend to be smaller. In Minnesota, for example, some carpenter ants are only 3/16 of an inch. When noting size, look to other characteristic as well. The thorax refers to the segment of an ant just below its head. Carpenter ants have a rounded thorax. The upper surface should be evenly rounded throughout. The midsection of a carpenter ant should be pinched and slim in appearance. Their antennae will be bent slightly. Noting the antennae and waist helps distinguish carpenter ants from termites. Termites have straight antenna and a broad waist.
A: Look at the color. Note size. Watch for a round thorax. Look at the antenna and waist.

Q: You should check your plant at least twice a week to see if it needs to be watered. If the top of the soil is dry, water it. How often you need to water the plant will vary depending on the temperature and climate. Use a liquid fertilizer or organic compost, such as cow manure, to maintain the nutrients in the soil. An application once a month will help your plant continue to thrive. Once your tulsi has 3 sets of leaves on a stem1 at the top and 2 on the sidesyou can begin pruning. Cut off the top set of leaves, just above the other 2 sets of leaves. Pruning your tulsi helps it to grow faster and produce fuller branches. Once you notice the roots growing out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot, it's time to transfer the plant to a larger pot. Depending on the size of pot you used to start, you may need to do this a couple of times. Keep in mind that the tulsi plant can grow up to 3 feet (0.91m) tall, so be sure to plan for this when transferring either to a larger pot or outside. You can safely transfer tulsi outdoors about 6-8 weeks after you planted it. Just be sure there is no risk of frost and that temperatures will be at least 70F (21C).
A: Water your tulsi when the top layer of soil becomes dry. Fertilize your plant once a month. Prune the tops of the tulsi weekly to encourage growth. Transplant your tulsi once it has outgrown its pot.

Q: Isopropyl alcohol is a powerful cleaning agent, and you can get it for cheap from most grocery stores. If you don't have isopropyl alcohol, window cleaner will work as well. Avoid touching any of the disc surface. Microfiber is very tightly-woven, and is soft to the touch. It will pick up dirt and dust without scratching the disc's surface. Don't use tissue, paper, towels, or cotton to wipe the disc. These materials all pose a scratching risk. Rotate the disc and wipe again from the center to the edge. Keep rotating until the entire disc has been wiped. Wipe straight from the center instead of in circles. Wiping in circles around the disc can increase the risk of scratching. Allow the disc to air dry, but don't place it in direct sunlight. Isopropyl alcohol should only take a few seconds to dry; window cleaner may take a little longer. Avoid drying with a dry cloth, as this can promote scratching.
A: Mix a solution of even parts isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and water. Hold the disc by the hole in the middle and the outer edges. Dip a microfiber cloth into the mixture. Wipe the disc from the center straight out to the edge. Place the disc bottom-up for a few moments to dry.

Q: Your flash drive will need to be at least 4 GB in size in order to successfully copy the ISO file onto it. All of the data on your flash drive will be lost when you turn it into an installation drive, so be sure to back up any important files before continuing. This is available for free from Microsoft. Despite its name, this tool works with Windows 8 and Vista ISO files as well. You can install and run this tool on virtually any version of Windows. If you would prefer to get your hands a little dirtier and create a bootable USB drive from the command line, check out this guide. This is the ISO that you created or downloaded in the first section. Click Next. You are given the option to either burn to a DVD or create a USB device. Click the USB Device option. Select your flash drive from the list of available devices. The program will format the USB drive to boot correctly, and then copy the ISO file onto the drive. Depending on the speed of your machine, the copying process can take up to 15 minutes to complete.
A:
Insert your flash drive. Download the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Select the Source file. Select USB device. Wait while program works.
