Article: Whether you choose chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or red velvet, any flavor can be used in a Batman cake. If you're unsure, browse the baking aisle at your local grocery store for ideas. You will need three boxes of cake mix and triple ingredients for this cake. While you're still at the store, look at the instructions on the back of the cake mix box. The mix probably calls for ingredients such as eggs and vegetable oil. You will also need to purchase black fondant, yellow sugar paper and three cans of frosting. You will need five round cake pans for this recipe: three large, one medium and one small. Grease your pans to avoid cake sticking to them. You'll want to use about a half of tablespoon of butter or vegetable shortening on a paper towel to rub the inside of each pan. You can also sprinkle about a tablespoon or two of flour on top of the oil. By flouring the pans on the sides, the cake will better adhere to the sides as it bakes. The best sized cake pans for this recipe are one 6-inch, one 8-inch and three 9-inch round pans. Once you have all the ingredients, you'll want to mix and bake the cake. The instructions are right on the back of the box. Make sure you preheat your oven to the suggested temperature. Mix the ingredients and pour the batter into the greased cake pans. Bake for the instructed time. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be sure to let them cool completely, preferably on a wire baking rack for 15 to 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the pan edges to loosen the sides. Place the wire rack over the top of each pan, invert it, and tap it lightly to remove the cake. For best results, stick the cooled cakes in the refrigerator or freezer until they are nice and cold.

Article: He should be completely flat on a table, bed or couch. Wrap the sphygmomanometer, or blood pressure gauge, armband firmly around the person's upper right arm and secure it with the Velcro strip. With the blood pressure cuff wrapped around the person's arm, have her palm facing upwards and place the stethoscope on the inside of the elbow. The stethoscope has a large surface area, so placing it on the inside surface of the elbow should ensure that it covers the brachial artery, which travels through that area. You will be listening to sounds in the brachial artery as your way to measure blood pressure. Generally you should inflate it to around 200 as your starting number, and gradually deflate it from there. As the cuff deflates, look for the systolic blood pressure reading. Systolic blood pressure is the force of the blood pumping through the arteries, and it is usually between 110 and 140. You will recognize the reading for the systolic blood pressure at the moment you begin to hear the "thump" sounds in your stethoscope. This is the sound of blood flowing through the brachial artery. Keep note of this number in your head as you continue listening while the cuff deflates. This number should be lower, usually between 60 and 90. It is the pressure on the arteries between heartbeats. Write the systolic blood pressure number, a slash, and then the diastolic blood pressure number. Both are measured in millimeters of mercury, or mm Hg. For example, you might write "120/70 mm Hg." This is the pulse you find by placing your index and middle finger over the inside right wrist. When you feel the patient's pulse, watch your clock or watch for exactly 60 seconds and count the beats. Most people have a pulse between 60 and 100 beats per minute (BPM). If the patient's pulse is above this, he may not be able to stand and continue the test. Write down the pulse (or heart rate), and then prepare yourself for the next portions of the test where you will ask the person to stand.

Ask the person to lie down for five minutes. Place your stethoscope over the brachial artery. Inflate the armband with the pump. Record the diastolic reading after the sound clears. Finish by taking the radial pulse reading.
Article: The brighter, the better. If it's too weak, it may not do the trick. Most flashlights you find in your bottom kitchen drawer will do the job just fine. If you find a flashlight/torch that's too dim, try replacing the batteries -- they may just be old. Cut out a piece to cover the front of the torch, adhering with transparent tape. Cover just the lens of the flashlight. You don't want the cellophane to show through to the base. Steal some from your dad's printer tray if need be -- doubt he'll miss three pieces of paper in the long run. A4 or A3 paper both work. As long as it's clean and white, the force will be with you. On the underside of the paper, double over tape (or use the double-sided kind) all along the edges of the flashlight's base -- you don't want the tape to be visible. If there is overlap, you may want to cut the paper to size. You want the light to emit evenly on all sides. Attach it to the end of the first piece of paper, overlapping minimally. Use the same taping method, adhering the tape on the inside of the second piece. Continue this process until you think your light saber is long enough. If it gets too long, it may start drooping. Two or three pieces may be your limit. Then, turn on the torch or flashlight, turn off the lights, and have fun! This paper version won't stand up to actual lightsaber duels. It's more for show and bragging rights than anything. If you've time on your hands, make a light saber hilt out of a paper towel tube and insert your flashlight/torch into it.

Find a torch (flashlight) that emits a white light. Decide what color you want your light saber to be and get cellophane of that color. Get a few pieces of clean, white paper. Wrap one piece of paper around the top or the torch or flashlight. Wrap another piece of paper into a roll. Check that it's sitting straight and is firmly taped together.
