Problem: Article: Pour your leftover wine into a half-size wine bottle and seal. This will reduce the surface area of the wine that's exposed to oxygen, slowing the aging process. Make sure your half bottle of leftover wine is sealed tightly with an appropriate cork, stopper, or screw-top. Save empty half bottles, which you can often find when buying dessert wines, and reuse over and over again for this purpose. If you don't have any half bottles on hand, you can use another small glass container that seals tightly. Buy a vacuum cap system for wine, which removes the oxygen from inside the bottle. Potentially lengthen the freshness of leftover wine in this way. You may want to invest in this device if you frequently have opened bottles of wine to keep, or drink varieties particularly prone to oxygenating, like full-bodied white wines such as oaked Chardonnay or Viognier. Note that there is some disagreement about the effectiveness of wine vacuums. Some say that the oxygen removal is only partial, or it can actually damage the flavor of the wine due to extracting its aromas as well as the oxygen. Replace the oxygen in an opened bottle of wine with an inert gas, most commonly Argon. You can buy a device for this purpose from wine retailers. Try an aerosol spray for an inexpensive option, or a more sophisticated system like the Coravin. Invest in this system if you're a wine connoisseur who frequently needs to keep open bottles, as in a restaurant or other serving setting.
Summary: Transfer to a half bottle. Purchase a vacuum pump. Invest in an inert gas system.

Problem: Article: If you haven't already shaved the sides of your hair, you're going to need to do this for a real mohawk. You'll need clippers, the right size guard, and some rubber bands or masking tape. Visualize the strip that will be left behind and what will be shaved. Make sure the strip is wide enough to support the finished style, usually about 2-3 inches in width, centered on your head. If your hair is shorter use tape to mark off where you want the mohawk: put the tape anywhere that you want hair to be left. If your hair is long, try using rubber bands. Use a comb to section off the hair that will make up your mohawk, then rubber band all of it into small ponytails or buns where the clippers can't reach it. Test the guard size to make sure it's the right length, then adjust if it's too long. Start shaving against the grain, starting with the front and moving to the back of your head. Shaving the front will be easy because you can see it as you shave, but for the back you'll either need help, or a mirror positioned behind you. No one likes itchy hairs all over, and washing will give you a chance to get rid of any hairs that are still clinging to your scalp. Once you're done, return to the mirror and check to see that your cuts are straight and everything looks good. Blow dry again, then get ready to style. Pick up a section in the middle of your head with your non-dominant hand. Keep holding the section and don't move. Spray deep into the roots and throughout the top. Don't be worried about using too much product: your hair will feel wet and sticky, but you're going to blow dry it soon. The bottom of your hair is going to hold the weight, so you want it to be extra stiff. You're already holding the hair with your non-dominant hand, so set down the hair spray and pick up the blow dryer with your dominant hand. While keeping your hair held tight, blow dry until you feel the hair becoming stiff. Let go after 30-45 seconds. Move towards the back of your head and pick up the section of hair directly behind of the one standing up. Hold it with your non-dominant hand again, and make sure it lines up with the section in front of it. Hair spray it, again paying special attention to the roots of your hair. Using the same technique as the last section of hair, blow dry the section of hair again. As it firms up, use your free hand to adjust the two sections to meet: you don't want any gaps in your mohawk. Use the same technique again for the final sections of your mohawk: lifting, spraying and then blow drying. But while you can see the front in the mirror, the back is a little trickier to manage. Position a mirror behind you, or take frequent breaks as you're styling to check out the hawk from the side. Use the same technique for each section of hair: lift, spray and blow dry. Don't change your technique for any of the sections, even if your hands get tired from so much lifting. Take a break if you feel your arms getting fatigued. When you're finished, check the mohawk out from both sides and make any adjustments that you need to. If there are big gaps or open holes in your hair, carefully close the sections together, apply more hairspray, and blow dry again. Repeat for any remaining gaps. Use some gel to solidify and connect the outside edge of your mohawk if you want.
Summary: Cut or trim your hair first. Map out your hair. Clip the exposed sides. Wash up. Lift the first section. Spray the first section. Blow dry the section. Lift and spray the next section. Blow dry the section. Work towards the back. Finish all remaining sections. Touch up the mohawk.

Problem: Article: During this cleaning process you will be working close to the electrical components of your exhaust fan. To minimize the risk of injury, fully unplug the exhaust unit before proceeding. In the event of faulty wiring or a broken switch, simply turning the fan off does not cut out electricity from every part of the appliance. Grease filters are rectangular, and made of metal mesh. They are located on the underside of the hood or microwave exhaust fan. If you have trouble finding your grease filter, consult the owner's manual, or visit the manufacture's website and find information for your specific make and model. Modern microwave systems sometimes have a small charcoal filter on top of the unit which filters out odors. This filter should be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on use. Unhook any levers or tabs that are holding the filter in place and gently pull the dirty filter out. Most filters will come out with little effort, but heavy grease build up may cause some filters to stick. Sliding a butter knife around the edge of the filter is an easy way to loosen up a stubborn filter. This will be the pan you are soaking and cleaning the filter in. The pan should be deep enough to fully submerge the filter in the cleaning solution. The average sheet pan is perfect for most grease filters.
Summary:
Turn off and unplug the exhaust fan. Locate the grease filter. Remove the grease filter. Place the grease filter in a pan or container.
