Q: Visit your state's courthouse or court website to find out what requirements you must fulfill. Since every situation is different, it can be difficult to determine whether your are eligible. It's a good idea to speak with someone in person to find out how to proceed. In some instances, defense attorneys will negotiate agreement with prosecutors regarding future expungement. Specifically, the prosecutor agrees not to oppose expungement if the defendant meets all requirements. Be sure to check with your attorney to find out if such a discussion took place. Once you've determined that you're eligible, file a petition with the courthouse. You'll have to pay a fee, and you'll have to wait for the court to process your paperwork. In some states, you'll receive a hearing date on which you'll meet with a judge to have your record expunged. In some states like Florida, you will need to get a certificate of eligibility form. You'll also need a copy of the disposition of the case, and a set of fingerprints. A certification of eligibility is not the same as an expungement. It is just the paperwork you must have in place to file a petition for expungement. In states like California, you must complete and file a Petition for Dismissal form. You must also submit an Order for Dismissal form and a Declaration. Make sure you file the petition correctly according to the requirements in your state. Small mistakes in the petition may create delays in the proceedings, since you'll have to start over. In some states, you must file the petition in the county where the court charged you with a crime. An attorney can help you determine whether you're eligible. He or she will also help you fill out the paperwork properly and complete the necessary steps to get your expungement. If you have a hearing, he or she will also go to court and speak on your behalf. Even a case that seems straightforward could end up being more complicated than you thought. It is worth it to have an expert involved to help you. Consider contacting your local public defender's office. Public defenders often help individuals seeking to improve their professional and personal opportunities. For an example, visit the Orange County, California Public Defender's "New Leaf Program." You can also check out the Clean Slate Clinic, located in Alameda County, California.

Article: Almost all leather jackets sold in stores include a tag describing how to clean the jacket. Because there are many varieties of leather, not all of them distinguishable to the naked eye, follow the specific instructions on the label whenever possible. The steps below are generally safe if followed thoroughly, but no method is guaranteed to work safely on all leather. Only use a leather cleaning product that matches your type of leather, ideally one manufactured by the same company that made your jacket. Always test any cleaning product on a hidden area of the leather to test for discoloration or damage, leaving the product on for at least five minutes, then wiping it off with a clean cloth. If no harm has occurred, treat the affected part of the jacket according to the product's instructions. Suede or nubuck should be treated only by products specifically made for those types. Leather labeled as aniline, semi-aniline, or pigmented leather might be cleaned by a general purpose leather cleaner, but always test on a hidden area first. You can purchase ink stain remover for leather, but this is not usually 100% effective if the ink has dried. If the above methods do not remove a stain from your jacket, take it to a dry cleaner that specifically advertises leather-cleaning services. Always ask whether the dry cleaner knows how to treat the type of leather and stain before handing your jacket over. Never wash a leather garment in a washing machine or washtub.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Read the tag for specific instructions. Select leather cleaning products cautiously. Take the jacket to a dry cleaner specializing in leather.

Q: Your vet may give you a container in which to collect the urine. If not, use a container from home that you will not use again. Shallow containers, such as aluminum pie plates, work really well for collecting urine from female dogs. Here are other container options: Empty cream cheese container Shallow food storage container A dirty container could contaminate your dog's urine, making a urinalysis difficult to interpret. Once you've chosen a container, wash it with warm, soapy water. Make sure it's completely dry before using it to collect the urine. With the container ready for use, put a leash on your dog and take your dog outside. Having your dog on a leash will make sure your dog can't get away when you try to collect a urine sample. If you have a backyard, take your dog out to where she usually urinates. Consider timing the collection for when you know your dog will need to urinate, such as first thing in the morning or after a meal. Pay close attention to your female dog as she gets ready to urinate. You may not have a lot of time to collect the urine once your dog starts to urinate, so make sure you're ready to act quickly. You will slide the container between your dog's back legs, so try to stand beside or slightly behind your dog. Collecting the urine should be a gentle but swift process. When your female dog squats and begins to urinate, approach her slowly. With one hand, gently slide the container between her back legs. Consider setting the container on the ground instead of holding it. If you hold the container, you may get some urine on your hand. Have some disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer nearby in case your hand gets urine on it. Make sure the urine gets in the container. You may need to reposition the container if the urine is hitting the ground. Let your female dog finish urinating before you move the container away.
A:
Choose a container. Wash and dry the container. Take your dog outside on a leash. Let your dog squat to urinate. Position the container in the urine stream.
