In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Prior to planting your chives, wet the soil with a hose so that it is damp. This will help to prevent transplant shock of the new chive plants in your garden. Make sure that the soil is not muddy, just moist enough to form clumps when squeezed in your hand. Transplant shock is a plant's reaction to being dug up/relocated to a new environment, and is totally normal. It can cause problems if the plant is not cared for post-transplant, though. Your plant might have transplant shock if it is wilted-looking and generally sickly in appearance. Chives grow from small bulbs at the base, which need to be covered fully when planted. The bulbs aren't typically that large, so a hole no bigger than 24 inches (5.110.2cm) deep and equally wide should be necessary. Place each chive plant into the hole, and replace soil over the top. Make sure that the chives are planted at the same depth they were in the pots. If the soil buries part of the stem that was previously exposed to air, the plant could rot. The soil should be moist when you water your chives, so you need not water them again immediately after. Chives don't require a lot of moisture, so add water only when the soil is completely dry. The frequency of waterings will depend on the weather in your area, but may vary from once every 1-3 days. Your chive harvest will prosper with a bit of fertilizer applied once every 3-4 weeks. Choose a 20-20-20 mixture (equal parts nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium), and incorporate it into the soil according to package directions. . If you're concerned about weeds in your garden, adding a layer of mulch will help block them out. Pull all weeds around the chives first, then apply a layer of mulch to prevent new weed growth. Mulch is often sold in the form of compost or bark at garden supply stores, but can be any organic material used as a surface treatment for soil. Add a layer 12 inches (2.55.1cm) thick over the top of the soil, to block out weeds and to trap moisture for longer. Few pests are interested in chives, but onion pests, like the onion fly, may gravitate toward your chives if you have true onions planted nearby. A few fungal diseases, like rust, may also attack chives on a rare basis. A small amount of pesticide or fungicide can usually restore your chives if these problems do occur.
Summary: Water the soil to prevent transplant shock. Dig a hole 24 inches (5.110.2cm) deep. Plant the chives. Water the chives every few days. Apply a fertilizer once a month. Add a layer of mulch to prevent weeds Keep an eye out for pests and disease.

Contact your local assessor's office to figure out what needs to be done to appeal the cost of your property taxes. You want to make sure to follow their instructions exactly so your case won't be thrown out on a technicality. Ask the office what procedures should be followed if you find a mistake on the property record card or if you find your property isn't assessed at the right amount. Ask them where is the best place to find information on comparable properties. This can help you have the correct information when you go to the hearing. Inquire about deadlines for filing an appeal this and next year. Also ask them for any other details you need to know as you file your appeal. If you aren't sure you can adequately appeal your case, hire a tax lawyer to do it for you. Many attorneys require 1/3-1/2 of your savings the first year, but they also may not charge you if your case is rejected. If you don't mind putting in some hours and doing a bit of leg work, you can appeal your own case. When you go to the appeal, have all of your documentation organized and ready to present. This includes any discrepancies on the record card, uneven comparisons to other similar homes, and any other evidence you compiled during the fact-checking stage. Bring copies of record cards, photographs, sales documents, and any other documents that supports your case. When you've collected all your evidence, present it to the assessor first. Sometimes, things can be adjusted and your property taxes can be lowered by the assessor. Showing documentation where they made errors might be enough to get things sorted out. If that doesn't work, then appeal to the appeals board.

Q: Over a sink, use a sharp knife to cut through the shell and empty the egg into the drain. If you want a more asymmetrical look, simply crack the egg in half with your hands. Then, run the egg shell halves under warm water to remove any residue. Be careful when handling the egg shells. They're very brittle and can crack and break easily if you hold them too tightly or drop them. Put on a pair of latex or rubber gloves and carefully lower one of the shells into the water. Adjust it with your hands so that the open part is facing the top of the water as much as possible. Don't worry if the shell shifts to one side or the other, as long as it's generally positioned with the open side up. If you reach into the water without gloves on, you can stain your hands due to the alum and food coloring.
A: Crack or cut 1 egg in half widthwise and carefully rinse out the shells. Submerge an eggshell in the solution with the open side facing up.

Problem: Article: Kechari Mudra is an advanced yoga practice in which the practitioner uses their tongue to strengthen their body and raise their level of consciousness. The idea with Kechari Mudra Yoga is to slowly increase the length of the tongue until it's eventually long enough to enter and stimulate certain areas in the nasal cavity. With continued practice, Kechari Mudra may also help the practitioner fight diseases and lower their breathing rate. While sitting in a comfortable position, roll your tongue up to touch your upper palate. See how far back your tongue is able to go. You may only be able to touch your hard palate when first starting out. Hold your tongue back until you start to feel pain, then rest your tongue in its normal position. As you continue practicing Kechari Mudra Yoga, your tongue should stretch and reach further back towards your uvula. After you gain some confidence, you can practice Kechari Mudra while engaging in light activities. In the final stages of Kechari Mudra, your tongue should be long enough to go behind your uvula and up into your nasal cavity. You'll reach this stage more safely and successfully with the help of an expert yogi to assist you in your practice. Your guide may recommend the application of butter or ghee to draw out and lengthen your tongue. At this point, your tongue should be long enough to reach the center of your eyebrows. Even with a guide, Kechari Mudra may take months or years to master.
Summary:
Understand the basics of Kechari Mudra yoga. Begin practicing Kechari Mudra. Seek the guidance of an advanced yogi.
