Scrape the sauce out of the blender or food processor with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent the avocado from turning brown too quickly.

mosquitoes like still water, so if you are in a mosquito-infested area, try to avoid lakes, swamps, stagnant creeks, marshes, and bogs. mosquitoes typically lay their eggs in these locations, and many species then stay in the vicinity. mosquitoes can also lay eggs in smaller containers, like flowerpots, bird baths, and drainage ditches, as long as there is sufficient water. The eggs of the Aedes aegypti mosquito can even stay in dry places for months, waiting for water; then, when water appears, they hatch. Therefore, be cautious of any man-made sources of standing water as well: whenever possible, keep pools, ditches, tires, containers, storm drains, and any low places on a piece of property covered. mosquitoes are attracted to warm-blooded creatures. Avoid wearing dark clothes in the sunlight, as they absorb more heat, and don't exercise too strenuously, as you will get warmer and breathe more heavily, attracting mosquitoes with the carbon dioxide you exhale. Wear long sleeves, long pants, and loose clothing, and look for fabric that's not too thin mosquitoes can bite you through very thin material. Consider purchasing special camping clothes, which are made from lightweight but sturdy fabric. There are a variety of products on the market to repel mosquitoes, and they come in creams, lotions, sprays, and sticks. Apply directly to your skin when outdoors, and, if you will also be using sunscreen, be sure to put the sunscreen on first, then the mosquito repellant. Avoid applying repellant around your eyes, mouth, and hands, and do not apply to irritated or broken areas of skin. Look for products containing 15% picaridin, which is a very effective repellant. Look for products containing 30%-50% DEET, an oil that will keep mosquitoes away. These products are effective for a few hours after application. Do not apply products with DEET to babies under six months of age. Products vary, so follow the directions on the label. Make sure to help small children; do not allow them to handle mosquito repellants themselves. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a daytime insect, most active from two hours after sunrise to a few hours before sunset. Research local species of mosquitoes, and try to adjust your activities accordingly. Fine-mesh aluminum or wire screens should cover windows and doorways. To be safest, keep doors and windows closed as well. Mosquito nets have very small holes that allow air to pass through but keep insects out. Secure the net to one or more surfaces, and hang it in such a way that it does not touch you mosquitoes can bite you through it. Consider looking for mosquito nets that are pretreated with insect repellants. These are typically used for malaria control, but they may work to prevent yellow fever as well. Remember to check your mosquito net periodically for holes, and fix them immediately if you see any. Malathion, permethrin, and other insecticides will kill many mosquitoes, as will other commercial preparations made for inside spaces, but they are also very poisonous and should not be used by just anyone you need to be properly trained and equipped with protective clothing.

Summary: Avoid standing water. Keep cool. Cover your skin. Use mosquito repellant. Avoid peak hours of mosquito activity. Stay in well-screened or air-conditioned rooms or houses. Sleep under a mosquito net. Consider spraying insecticides.

You may want to store the numbers to your favorite radio stations in your phone so you can always be ready to call and not be searching for the number. Don't let the radio become background noise. Pay attention to when the contest happens. Call exactly when you are told to call. Don't start too early because your call won't go through and you could miss out on the actual calling time. When you hear about a contest that a station is offering, put a reminder in your calendar or phone to alert you to call. You can even set an alarm to go off ten to fifteen minutes before the station comes on to help prepare you. Digital watches, cell phones, and email accounts usually offer easy-to-use reminders. Grab your cell phone and house phone and use them simultaneously. Have your family and friends call in for you too. As soon as you hear a busy signal, hang up and re-dial. Don't just try once and hang up. Use the redial button if you can't get through on your first try. Those few seconds spent redialing manually will reduce or likely eliminate your chances of being the correct caller. Be persistent and keep trying. The people who win a lot of radio contests, play a lot of radio contests. People do get through, and you never know when a phone line will open up, so don't let the busy signal discourage you. Don't call into the business office or reception. It is not a sneaky way to get around the busy signal and you may miss your chance at winning. The only phone number you can win a prize at is the one that you hear the radio station give out on the air or the one that is listed on the website. Be optimistic and understand your chances are just as good as someone else's chance. If you never try, you will never win. You will not win every time, but with effort it may happen. Just don't give up and remember to have fun. It can be frustrating when you get a busy signal and you've tried multiple times, but there are contests everyday so be persistent. You can't win if you don't play.

Summary: Be ready to call and dial in fast. Set up reminders to call. Seek out ways to call in from multiple sources. Play as often as you can. Make sure you're calling the right number. Have the right mentality.
