Problem: Article: Creeping Charlie, like other plants, needs light for growth. However, this plant can survive even in low level light, like strong shade. Because of this, if you intend to use this method, the light must be completely blocked to the plant. There are many items you could use for this purpose. For example, you could lay down a large piece of cardboard, a heavy drop-cloth, or a tarp over top the plant for maximum light blockage. When creeping charlie is growing among plants you want to keep, you might consider cutting a circular hole around in a heavy cloth or tarp. This way you can block light to the creeping charlie around the wanted plant without denying it of light. Any surrounding plants that are deprived of light will die along with the creeping charlie. This likely means you'll need to reseed your plot later. Stray wind, animals, or other environmental factors can cause your light cover to shift in position. Stabilize your light cover by heaping some soil, rocks, or some other kind of weight on top of it to hold it in place. To ensure the light is completely blocked, you should make sure that the cardboard is large enough to cover at least six inches beyond any protruding stems. In many cases, a week of light deprivation will cause the creeping charlie to wither and die, though depending on soil richness and other factors this can take longer. Peek under your light cover periodically to check whether or not the creeping charlie has died. When you notice that all parts of the creeping charlie are withered, shriveled, and lacking in green color, the plant should be dead. There is a risk of creeping charlie reseeding even after the plant has died. In order to prevent regrowth, you should gather up all of its plant matter, including roots, and dispose of it by throwing it away or burning. Be sure you wear gloves when handling or removing creeping charlie directly. Many people are allergic to this plant. Many places require you to request a burning permit to prevent false fire alarms. Be sure you have a burning permit before attempting to dispose this plant with fire.
Summary: Starve the planted of sunlight. Cover the area affected with creeping charlie. Protect your light cover from disturbance. Wait until the plant dies. Remove the plant and clear the area of remains.

Problem: Article: Place one of the cakes onto a plate, and coat the top with your white frosting. Add some sliced strawberries, if desired, then place the second cake on top. Spoon some more of the white frosting on top of the cake, then spread it towards the edges with an off-set cake decorating spatula. Apply more frosting to the sides, and spread it out. This is known as the "crumb coat." Keep the crumb coat thin. This coat is simply to give you a foundation to decorate on and prevent crumbs from getting into your frosting. This will set the crumb coat. During this time, it would be a good idea to refrigerate the piping bags with the rest of the frosting as well to keep it from turning too soft. Once the crumb coat has set, take the cake and the piping bags out of the fridge. Choose a color to start with, then outline your first blob. It should look like a warped circle or oval with wavy lines. Move the pipe back-and-forth in a zigzag motion as you fill the entire blob in. Make sure that the filling is touching the outline. Keep the filling frost level with the outline; don't let it bunch up. Finish the sides first, then do the top. Switch colors as you work. Don't let two blobs of the same color touchnot even in the corners. If you are having trouble making the blob shapes look random, try drawing them with your opposite hand. Do not rush on ahead; otherwise, the frosting will stick to whatever you are using to smooth it with. You can test the frosting for doneness by touching it lightly with your fingerit shouldn't stick to your finger. Choose a smooth-textured paper towel, and place it against the side of the cake. Run your fondant smoother across the paper towel using small, circular motions. Work in patches, starting from the sides and finishing with the top. You can also use a high-density foam roller, just make sure that it is clean! Fit a piping bag with a large, star-shaped tip. Squeeze the remaining frosting into the bag, alternating colors. Twist the bag shut, then pipe your multi-colored frosting onto the edges of the cake. For a simpler design, choose a color for the border, then switch the tip out for a large, star-shaped tip instead.
Summary: Fill the cake with the white frosting. Apply another thin coat of white frosting onto the cake. Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes. Pipe a blob shape onto the side of the cake. Fill the blob in using the same. Outline and fill more blobs onto the cake. Let the frosting set for 3 to 5 minutes. Iron the blobs out using a paper towel and fondant smoother. Pipe the rest of the frosting onto the edges, if desired.

Problem: Article: By keeping to a routine bedtime, you are effectively training your body and avoiding nights spent tossing and turning. Go to sleep at the same time every night. Aim for a time when you naturally start getting tired. Wake up at the same time every day. While it's tempting to get a few more hours of shut-eye on the weekends, this will throw off your sleep schedule and you may have difficulty falling asleep at the right time. You only need 20-30 minutes total of exercise each day to see a change in your sleep habits. While vigorous exercise is best, anything that gets you on your feet and moving is a great start. Choose an appropriate time to exercise. If you go for a run right before bed, chances are you'll be too wired to sleep. Give yourself a few hours to wind down before trying to sleep. If you're short on time, try breaking up your exercise throughout the day. Even choosing to take the stairs over an elevator can give you a quick workout. While it's comfortable and fun to hang out on your bed and watch movies on your laptop, the action can confuse your body. You want to train your body to get into sleep mode as soon as you climb into bed. If you want to do a relaxing activity before bed, such as reading or knitting, try going into another room with soft light.
Summary: Set a sleep schedule and stick to it. Exercise regularly. Use your bed for sleep or sex only. Try taking an over the counter medicine like Advil pm, or unisom. Try a herbal remedy like Valerian root or melatonin.
