Fold boning casing tape so that the long edges of the tape meet in the center of the backside of the tape. Then, stitch the tape to the center of each corset panel to create 3/8 inch wide boning channels, or if you want less seams on the front of your corset you can stitch it along the already made seams. You can also use 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide strips of fabric if you don't want to purchase casing tape. Take the inside of the right side of your corset, draw a stitching line in chalk 5/8 inch from the edge of your corset. Then, line your eye busk (the side with the hooks) up with your sewing line, leaving 3/4 inch from the top edge of your corset, making sure you are looking at the back of the busk. Sew along the busk, attaching it to your corset. The busk is the piece with the "eyes or hooks" that the knobs or pins hook into on the front of your corset to attach it together (and will prevent you from having to untie the lacing on the grommet area each time you want to put on your corset). You can buy busks at a sewing or craft store. Taking small metal knobs or pins that fit into your busk holes, line them up with the busk on the right. Then stick them through the left side of the fabric near the edge and connect them completely to the fabric by attaching them with a stitch on the back. This is what will close up your corset and hide any ragged edges of the fabric. To use faux leather or real leather as your binding, place clear, water-soluble dressmaking tape along the bottom outside corner of one panel of your corset. Then, press the binding onto the tape, fold it over the edge, and tape to the inside of your corset as well. You can also use satin, cotton, or another type of pre-made bias binding. Use your sewing machine to straight-stitch the taped binding into place. For now, you should only add binding to the bottom. You need to add your boning to the corset before you can finish the top. Measure the length of the bone channels and cut spiral steel flats to the length of your corset leaving about 1/4 inch edge from the top and bottom of your corset, and insert bones into bone channels. You can cut these bones yourself or buy pre-cut bones (which is sometimes much easier). You can also use spring steel flats, but spiral steel flats will do a better job of following all of the curves of your corset. To prevent rough edges of the bones you can use durable hot glue or craft glue to tip the bones. Use the same taping and sewing technique you applied to the bottom edge of the corset to bind the top of the corset with additional, matching binding.

summary: Create boning channels. Sew on the right busk. Sew on the knobs. Attach the bottom binding. Stitch the binding on. Add bones. Bind the top edge.

During your turn, crouch down by the stone at the starting block. Push the stone forward to generate momentum, then let it go towards the target. The goal is to get it in the house, usually as close to the button as possible. The speed, force, and direction of a throw are all important. While success is not entirely dependent on the throw, your stone isn't likely to get near the button without a good throw. You may have seen curling players use brooms to sweep the ice ahead of the stone. The players who didn't throw the stone all do this to guide the stone towards the house. The amount of sweeping can change the stone's speed or direction. The ice of a curling sheet is rougher than it looks. If a stone is moving left on its own, for example, it will hit the rough patches and spin further towards the left. Sweeping melts the ice, allowing the stone to move across it more smoothly. To keep the stone moving fast and straight, sweep the ice directly in front of it. Guard shots land in front of the house but within the curling scoring area. This kind of shot is easy to remember, as the stones guard the house so opponents can't sneak in. It's a very useful kind of shot for protecting your stones in the house. For example, you throw a guard in front of the outer blue ring. If your opponent hits it, they may knock the stone into the house. They need to either knock the stone away or go around it. Areas with lots of guards can create headaches for the opposing team. Getting stones to the house involves working around guards and understanding how they will move when hit by an incoming stone. Draw shots are designed to get stones around guards. While they can be straight shots, many involve curling the stone with great precision. To curl a draw shot, turn the stone's handle right before you let go of it. Then, let the sweepers guide the stone around the guard and back towards where you want it to end up. These are some of the most strategic shots you can choose and some of the hardest to implement. They become more integral as stones begin filling the playing area during each end. For instance, if you have a guard in front of the house, aim your stone to the right of it. Turn the handle counterclockwise to spin the stone back towards the house. Takeout shots are thrown with such force that they knock the opposing team's stones out of play. Stones thrown for speed and power are often takeouts. Takeout shots have to be performed carefully, or else you can knock your own stones out of the house. For example, if your opponent has a guard in the button, you can knock it away with a takeout shot. Throw your stone with the right amount of power to bump your opponent's stone while stopping yours in the house. Be careful when knocking out stones. You can easily knock your opponent's stone into the scoring area. You can also knock in your own guard stones or take your stones out of play.

summary: Throw the stone by gliding it towards the house. Sweep the stone to help it along the ice. Perform a guard shot to block the opposing team. Make a draw shot to get a stone into the house. Use a takeout shot to remove guards from the playing area.

Is her goal to stay up for 24 hours? For 48 hours? Studies show that writing down goals improves achievement of the goal. Research shows that when people break their goals down into smaller chunks, they complete the goals more quickly and accurately. Help your friend look at this challenge as an hourly goal or break it down even further, to minutes. Goals might be: Stay awake for one more hour, until 2am. When that goal has been reached, the next goal might be the same: Stay awake for one more hour, until 3am. Staying awake for one more hour (or 15 or 30 minutes) seems more manageable and easier to accomplish than staying awake for 24 or 12 hours. Oftentimes, repeating a mantra can help focus the mind on something other than the difficult experience at hand. Good mantras are short, encouraging, and rhythmic. Make up a mantra. Use someone else's mantra and repeat it. Try out, "Feeling strong, feeling good," or, "Looking good, feeling good, oughta be in Hollywood."
summary: Help your friend write down a goal. Break down the goals into small, manageable chunks. Repeat or chant a mantra.
