In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Roll the dough by hand into a cylinder. Cut the cylinder into six equal pieces. For the steps below, work with one piece at a time. Sprinkle flour over any dough you aren't currently using, and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. If you don't have a pasta machine, flour a counter top and roll the pasta out by hand. This takes some muscle and time, sothink of it as a baker's exercise plan. Each piece of dough should roll into a rectangle 6 inches (15 cm) wide and 20 inches (50 cm) long. When finished, it should be transparent enough to see your fingers through it. Lift it off the counter frequently. Dust with more flour to prevent sticking. The heavier the rolling pin, the faster this will be. A pasta machine saves you time and effort, but you'll need to know how to use it correctly. A hand-cranked machine is the cheapest option, but you can use an attachment for kitchen mixers instead. Set the machine to its widest setting. Press the dough to a flat rectangle and send it through. Fold one end over the center, then the other, making a stack of three layers of dough. Flour lightly and roll it through again. Repeat at least three times to add chewy texture. Repeat this technique if your pasta tears. Set the machine to a slightly narrower setting. Dust with flour and send the dough through, without folding. Repeat with increasingly narrower settings, until desired thickness is reached (typically the third-to-last setting or further). You can use a pizza cutter, a sharp knife, or a pasta cutting machine. This same dough can be used to form noodles of any size. Fold the dough strips into tubes to make macaroni. Pinch dough rectangles in the center to form farfalle. Place pasta sheets between wax paper or a kitchen towel while you aren't actively cutting them. This prevents them from drying out. This dough is best cooked immediately, and only takes 60120 seconds in boiling water. If you want to store it long term, hang the noodles up to dry over clean, plastic coat hangers or pasta drying racks. Dry until brittle, then store in an airtight container. Once dried, it should last several weeks.
Summary: Divide the dough. Roll the dough by hand. Use a pasta machine instead. Cut the noodles. Cook the pasta or store it. Finished.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wear it just long enough for your odor to rub off. Put the sock over your hand, with your fingers holding the catnip dangling down inside the bottom of the sock. Then twist the end of the sock. It doesn't have to be perfectly secure, just enough to allow you to re-wrap the sock with multiple layers. You should now have a new "layer" to add to the toy. You won't need too much. Not all cats like catnip, but cats that do like catnip tend to be quite sensitive to it. One theory on why catnip excites cats is that it acts on the hypothalamus, triggering a predatory reaction. Some research suggests certain molecules in catnip act as an opioid on cats, triggering the pleasure center in cats' brains. Not all cats are affected by catnip. Only about 30-70% of all cats will react to catnip. You may want to make this knot somewhat loose, so that your cat will be able to access the catnip. "Working" for food allows cats to indulge in the natural predatory instincts that all cats are born with. Some cats are immune to catnip, but those that aren't immune will find the toy irresistible. Even if your cat does not like catnip, it will certainly enjoy playing with the toy. Your cat will be able to smell you on the sock, and it may come to associate your smell with the excitement and joy of playing with catnip, making this a great toy for newly adopted cats.
Summary: Wear an old sock for a few hours. Take a large pinch of catnip in your hand. Drop the catnip in the toe. Grip the toe of the sock with the catnip inside and pull the sock off. Repeat this, adding a bit more catnip for every layer. Tie a knot in the end of the sock. Give the toy to your cat.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This paste is heated up and creates a strong electrical connections between the two bits. Apply the paste liberally with a cotton swab. Some of the flux will squeeze out, but this is okay. Get the lug snugly onto the exposed cable for now. If you have a crimping machine, now is the time to use it. Otherwise, get a flat nail punch or angle iron, and a hammer. Place the punch in the center of the nut, then hammer hard into it to crimp the terminal into the cabling. Flip the cable and repeat on the other side. You want to get the entire piece nice and hot. You can stand a butane torch up, turn it on, and rotate the cable in front of the flame so the whole thing is evenly heated. Heat until the rosin starts to bubble out of the terminal lug. This preheats everything to make soldering easier in the next step. Use your non-acidic, non-reactive solder wire to solder the point where the terminal lug ends and the exposed cable begins. You can do this right after you have the rosin boiling. When done, let it cool for 1-2 minutes before proceeding. Make sure you have enough heat to liquefy the solder. All that needs to be exposed is the flat terminal lug, which connects to the battery. The rest of the connection should be covered and snugly fit with the sheathing to prevent corrosion.
Summary:
Liberally apply flux paste to the inside of the terminals and the exposed cables. Slide the terminal lug onto the expose cable end, pushing it as far on as you can. Crimp the terminal lug onto the cable using a flat nail punch or a crimper. Using a flame or other high-heat source (such as from a butane torch), heat the lug until the rosin flux is boiling. Still applying heat, solder around the connection between cable and terminal lug. Slide the shrink tubing back up to cover the expose metal, then use the heat source to shrink it around the connection.
