Article: Depending on the type of cake, cooling using this method can be done in just a couple of hours. Here are some things to consider: Angel food cakes, pound cakes, sponge cakes and other light and fluffy cakes can cool in the refrigerator in about 1-2 hours. This method may not be the best choice for a cheesecake, as quick changes of temperature can upset the structure of the cake, causing cracks. For rich, creamy cakes that are served chilled, this method may take you up to 4 hours. If you are cooling a traditional cake, this method will take you about 2-3 hours. Once your cake is fully cooked, use oven mitts to carefully take it out of the oven and place it on the kitchen counter. Let your cake sit for 5-10 minutes. Here are some guidelines to consider: If you are working with a cheesecake, or other creamy cake, it is recommended that you turn off the heat and let your cake cool in the oven for about an hour before transferring your cake to the refrigerator. If you don't have the time, you can put your cake in the refrigerator although it may crack slightly. If you are working with cheesecake, run a butter knife along the edge of the cake and the pan while the cake is still warm, this will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan later. You may want to place your cake pan on a wooden surface like a cutting board to protect your countertop from heat damage. After allowing it to cool briefly on the countertop, place your cake pan in the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes. This will further cool the cake without causing it to dry out. It should be pretty cool to the touch after 5 or 10 minutes. Here are some things to consider: If you are cooling a sponge or angel food cake, it is recommended that you cool the cake upside down. This can be done by turning the pan upside down and setting the tube part over the neck of a stable bottle. Turning it upside down for cooling helps prevent it from collapsing as it cools. If you are cooling a pound cake, it is recommended that you take it out of the pan to cool it. Cooling a pound cake for too long in a pan can cause it to become overly damp and stick to the pan. Transfer it to a wire rack and place it in the refrigerator. Take your cake pan back out of the fridge and seal the top of your cake pan by wrapping it at least twice over with plastic wrap. Sealing the cake tight will help keep it moist as it continues to cool. If you have removed your cake from the pan or placed it upside down, you don't need to wrap it up. If you are chilling an angel food cake or pound cake, you may only need to cool it for an additional hour. If you are cooling a cheesecake, let it cool for the entire 2 hours. Use a sharp knife or butter knife and run it along the edges of the pan between the rim of the pan and the cake. Be sure to keep your knife vertical so you don't accidentally cut into the sides of your cake. Place a large plate over the cake pan. Hold the plate and the pan firmly together and flip them upside down. Shake the pan softly to transfer your cake from pan to platter. If your cake is especially delicate, gently tap the bottom of the pan a few times until you feel your cake release. Now that your cake is cool, you are free to frost and decorate however you wish!

Article: Before you can forget a memory, you will need think about the details of that memory. Doing so might be hard, but it is necessary. Write out your answers to the following questions to figure out the details of the memory: What happened? Who was involved? Where and when did it happen? What else was going on? How did you feel? Your next step is to pinpoint the most upsetting parts of the memory. Getting to the root of what bothers you the most will help you figure out what you need to forget. Write these specific things down so that you can work on forgetting them. Keep in mind that you can't forget the existence of your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, but you can forget particular dates, events, or sense memories. For example, you might be able to forget the smell of a perfume, your first date, or something that your ex said to you. If you find yourself dwelling on traumatic experiences, list the people who harassed you, the specific locations that caused you grief, and other sensory details like the smell of the lunchroom, the locker room, or the gym. You can use the details that you have identified to perform a ritual release. A ritual release is a mental exercise that may help you to forget a memory. To do a ritual release, all you have to do is turn your memory into a mental snapshot and imagine that you are setting it on fire. In your mind, picture a part of the memory that you want to forget. Try to imagine this detail like a picture. Then, imagine that you are setting that picture on fire. Imagine the edges of the photo turning brown and curling up, then turning black and crumbling away. Imagine the fire burning your mental memory picture until the picture is gone. You could also try using another image in place of the actual memory. For example, you could imagine your bully as a Honda Civic sinking into a pond or as a freight train slowly crashing into a wall. This may not work for some people, as old memories never truly leave the brain. " Certain objects or images may trigger a painful memory for you and make it harder to forget the memory. If you have any objects or pictures that trigger bad memories for you, then put them somewhere out of sight or consider getting rid of them. For example, you may want to get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex, including photographs and gifts your ex gave you. You might also find that hypnosis can help you to forget unwanted memories. Hypnosis requires you to enter a relaxed state so that you will be more open to suggestions. Look for a professional hypnotist in your area if this is something that you would like to try. Keep in mind that not everyone can be hypnotized, so it might not work for you. For those who can be hypnotized, there is also the chance that the effects will only last a short time.

Article: Once again, take the cushions off the couch. Also, tape off any areas you don't want to get spray paint on, using painter's tape. Tape those areas off thoroughly, as spray paint has a tendency to drift. Glue together any major cracks or use a patch. Sand the area down before painting. Create thin layers of spray paint on the paintable areas. Thin layers are very important when it comes to leather. Hold the spray paint well above the area, moving it around slowly to create an even, light layer. Start in an inconspicuous area to test what it looks like. Spray paint can become tacky and peel if you don't let it dry between layers. Make sure the painted area is completely dry before you add the next layer. You may need as many as twenty layers when painting a couch with spray paint. Once the couch has an appearance you like, stop adding layers. Let it dry completely. Leave it to cure for about at least two days, so you know it's completely dry and cured. Use a soft cloth to rub down the painted area so that you remove any paint that didn't get absorbed.
