INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Position the steering wheel 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) from your breastbone. Adjust your seat so your back comes in complete contact with the seat and headrest. Your seat should be reclined about 100 to 110 degrees. Consult your vehicle's manual for help adjusting your seat and steering wheel. Seatbelts can irritate or constrict your shoulder, causing discomfort. Look for a shoulder cushion online or at your auto store. You can also cut a piece of soft pipe or foam insulation to appropriate size and attach it to the seat belt. Low power steering fluid can make it more difficult to steer your car, which can aggravate hand, wrist, and arm pain. Check, add, or flush your power steering fluid, or bring your car to a mechanic for maintenance. If you suffer significant arm pain and your car doesn't have power steering, consider getting one that does. An automatic transmission reduces the type and number of motions necessary to drive a car. Reducing the frequency and variety of grips and movements will help prevent your arms from getting sore. If you drive a car with a manual transmission, consider getting an automatic.

SUMMARY: Adjust the seat and steering wheel. Use a seat belt shoulder strap cushion. Check the power steering fluid. Use a car with an automatic transmission.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Spot scam messages or unserious inquiries and delete them to avoid wasting your time. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be out of the country and offering to send you a wire transfer for the car. In general, if something seems too good to be true, it likely is. Use common sense and good judgment when interacting with strangers on Craigslist. Practice extreme caution when arranging to meet a stranger who is interested in seeing or test-driving your vehicle. Safely arrange a test-drive in a very public location with many people around and bring a friend, if possible. Take a picture of the test-driver's license before handing over the keys so you'll be able to track the person down if something goes awry. Immediately email yourself a copy for added protection. Consider interviewing the person on the phone or looking them up online before meeting them in person. Tell interested buyers upfront what form of payment you will accept for your car. Consider only accepting cash or cashier's checks, as personal checks and money orders are easier to fake. No matter what form of payment you request, make sure to verify from a bank that it is valid or wait until you have received the money in your account before signing over the title. Explain the positive aspects of your car to the potential buyer. Take the opportunity to describe any important qualities that may not be listed in your online ad or reiterate some of the highlights. Consider emphasizing your car's fuel economy or any recent upgrades or repairs to make it seem like a more attractive buy. Decide the lowest amount of money you will accept for the car, then be prepared to negotiate a bit over the price. If the buyer is interested and seems legitimate, consider listening to any offers they may make which are below your asking price. You may want to even set your asking price a bit higher than what you are prepared to accept to leave yourself more negotiating room. People like to feel like they are getting a deal!

SUMMARY: Identify and ignore scam messages you receive. Arrange a test-drive in a public location for safety. Decide what form of payment you will accept. Make a sales pitch by describing your car's attributes. Negotiate over the price.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Measure 1 to 2 tablespoons (5 to 10 g) of coffee beans into the mortar. Cover the top of the mortar with one hand to stop the beans from jumping out. With your other hand, swirl the pestle around to mash the beans. After five seconds, pull out the pestle and bring it down in a vertical motion to hammer the beans. Repeat the swirling and hammering until you achieve the desired consistency. Only grind small quantities of beans at a time in the pestle and mortar. This will ensure the most consistent grind. A pestle and mortar will produce anything from a coarse to a super fine grind. Place the beans on a large wooden cutting board. Take a large butcher knife and lay the blade flat against the beans. Lay your open palm against the flat top of the blade and apply pressure to crack the beans. Once the beans have cracked, carefully slide the knife toward you. Continue applying pressure to grind the beans finer. Using this method, you'll be able to achieve a medium or medium-fine grind. Measure your coffee beans and transfer them to a thick plastic freezer bag. Seal the bag and place it on a flat surface. Shake the beans around so they're in a single layer. With gentle force, bring the rolling pin down onto the beans like a hammer to crack them. Once cracked, apply pressure and roll the rolling pin back and forth until you get the right grind. You can also place the beans between sheets of parchment paper if you don't have a freezer bag at your disposal. Using the rolling pin will result in a medium fine to fine grind. Place the beans between two pieces of parchment paper, or into a sealed freezer bag. Lay the bag on a towel on a flat surface and spread the beans out so they're in an even layer. Use moderate and consistent strokes to bring the hammer down on the beans to crush them. Keep hammering until you have a coarse to medium consistency. You can grind beans like this using a hammer, meat tenderizer, or mallet. A hand mincer is a manual grinder that can be used to mince meat, make pasta, or grind just about anything, including coffee. Measure the beans and pour them into the grinder. Turn the crank arm with your hand in a clockwise direction to process the beans. To achieve a finer grind, collect the ground beans and run them through the grinder again.

SUMMARY:
Use a pestle and mortar. Crack them. Grind them with a rolling pin. Mash them with a hammer. Use a hand mincer.
