Q: If you are experiencing the symptoms above you shouldn't waste time before booking an appointment with your eye doctor for a test. You can also, however, do some basic tests at home to try to measure your sight. Try by printing out the classic test page with letters of diminishing size from the internet. After printing the test sheet, hang it at eye level in a well lit room. Stand ten-feet back and see how many letters you can read. Continue right to the bottom row, or as low as you can go, and write the number of the line where you could read most of the letters. Do this again, covering each eye at a time. The results vary by age, but older children and adults should be able to read the majority of the 20/20 line at the bottom. As well as printable test sheets, there are a number of tests that you can do directly on your computer. Again, these are not exactly perfect, but they can give you a basic indication of how your eyes are. You can find different tests for different eye problems, including colour blindness, and astigmatism. They will involve you looking at different images and shapes on your computer screen, and following the instructions to test your eyes. Remember that these are vague guides, and should not be treated as a substitute for the real thing. Don't forget that if you are experiencing these symptoms you need to make an appointment with your eye specialist and have a full eye exam. Your optometrist or ophthalmologist will conduct a number of tests that will get to the bottom of your eye problems, and if you need glasses they will write you out a prescription. It might be intimidating or a little scary at first, but it's essential to caring for your eyes. The eye doctor may use a number of instruments, aim bright lights into your eye, and have you try out a number of different lenses. You will have to read out letters from a test sheet with while different lenses are held in front of your eyes. Ophthalmologists and optometrists are both qualified to conduct eye evaluations. After your eye exam you will be told if you need glasses or not. If so, you will be provided with a prescription. You can then take this to any optician's and choose which frames you want to get. Opticians are trained to help fit people for glasses. Once you have chosen your frames you will have to wait a week or two for the frames to be fitted before you can pick them up.
A: Use some testing printouts. Try some online tests. Go to see your eye doctor. Know the next steps if you need glasses.

Q: That way if your kite line breaks, your kite won't sink down into the water. Any kind of medium-sized balloon will work. Use a small piece of wiring to secure the tied knot at the end of the balloon to one of the bars on your kite before you go out fishing. Don't inflate the balloon too much or it could pop. The kite line is the line coming off your kite rod. To connect your kite to the line, take your kite swivel (the small metal ring at the end of the lines on your kite) and hook it into the ball-bearing swivel at the end of your kite line. You'll need to unclasp the ball-bearing swivel and then close it again around the swivel on your kite. Hold the kite by the edge of the boat or shoreline and release the line spooled on your kite reel. When you feel the kite getting pulled away from you by the wind, let go of it. Watch as your kite soars into the air, and stop the line using your kite reel once the kite is about 75 feet (23m) away. The distance of the kite doesn't need to be exact you can just estimate. Once your kite is in the air and your kite rod is locked, you don't need to worry about flying it. Now that your kite is in the air, you need to attach a clip to the kite line so you can get your bait line clipped in. Follow the instructions that came with your kite release clip kit to get your clip assembled and on the line. You want the clip to be close to the kite rod for now so you can easily clip in your bait line later.
A: Tie a small balloon to your kite. Connect your kite to the kite line. Launch your kite so it's about 75 feet (23m) from your boat or the shore. Attach a clip to the base of your kite line.

Q: Set a medium saucepan on the stove and pour in 8 cups (1,900ml) of chicken broth. Turn the burner on low and let the broth heat up. Keep the heat on low while you begin the risotto. The broth should be about the same temperature as the rice in order to make the risotto creamy. This is why it's important to not add cold or boiling hot stock. If you'd like to make the risotto vegetarian, substitute vegetable stock for the chicken broth. Remove 1 cup (240ml) of the broth and pour it into a bowl. Add 1 ounce (28 g) of dried porcini mushrooms and stir them so they begin to absorb the hot broth. Leave the mushrooms to rehydrate for 20 minutes and then drain them. Keep soaking the mushrooms until they're soft. Pour 1 tablespoon (15ml) of the olive oil into a large skillet and turn the burner to medium. Once the oil shimmers, stir in 1/2 of the diced onion and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir and cook the mixture until the onion softens and becomes clear. Stir the onion and garlic frequently to prevent it from sticking and burning to the bottom of the skillet. Slice 1 pound (450g) of fresh portobello and crimini mushrooms into 1/2 in (1.3 cm) thick pieces. Add them to the skillet along with 2 bay leaves, 2 tablespoons (7 g) of chopped fresh thyme, 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of fresh chopped Italian parsley, and 2 tablespoons (28 g) of butter. Use a mix of portobello and crimini. If you only have one type of mushroom, use a full pound (450 g) of whichever kind you have. Keep the burner at medium heat and cook the vegetables and herbs until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Stir in a little salt and pepper to taste. If the mushrooms look like they're browning too quickly, you may need to adjust the burner. Pour 1 tablespoon (15ml) of truffle oil into the skillet and stir in the rehydrated porcini mushrooms. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste and let the mixture cook for 1 minute. Turn off the burner and set the mushroom mixture aside. If you don't have truffle oil, you can leave it out since it's purely to add extra-mushroom flavor. Or, you can try making your own truffle oil.
A:
Heat the chicken broth in a pot over low heat. Soak the dried mushrooms in 1 cup (240ml) of the broth for 20 minutes. Saute 1/2 of the onion and 1 clove of garlic for 5 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms, bay, thyme, parsley, and butter. Saute the mushroom and onion mixture for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the truffle oil and rehydrated mushrooms.
