Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your gas line for leaks. Burn off any drippings to prevent grimy build up. Cover your grill in between uses. Finished.

Answer: Regularly inspect the gas lines connecting your grill to the gas tank by applying a small amount of soapy water to the surface of the line and connectors. This should be done each season you are using the grill and monthly during periods of high usage. Use a rag or brush to apply soapy water along the length of the gas line. Make sure to apply soapy water liberally around the connections and valves. Look for any bubbles that indicate gas is leaking causing a potentially dangerous situation. In between every 3-4 times you grill, heat up the grill without any food present. Turn the burners on high. Close the lid to burn up any drippings that have fallen on the burner protectors. Allow the heat to build up inside the grill for 10-15 minutes. Invest in a cover for your grill to protect it from the elements when it is not in being used. Keeping rain and debris from piling up on your grill will help keep it from rusting and extend the life of your grill.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather supplies. Make the tunic. Make your shield. Assemble knee and elbow guards. Plume your helmet. Throw together your gauntlets. Assemble your costume.

Answer: The Colander Knight costume, though still finding most of its components in the home, requires a few craft supplies to give it that finished look. Make sure you have a hot glue gun, glue sticks, measuring tape, and scissors in addition to: 1 yard elastic 1/2 yard patterned fabric 12-inch pieces red and black felt 2 yards silver ribbon 4 white or metallic scouring pads Black boots Black gloves Black hoodie Cardboard wrapping-paper roll Disposable pie tin Gray long johns Gray nonskid drawer liner or rug pad Large red and black feathers Small metal colander Small roll canvas-backed foil insulation (available at hardware stores) You'll need to take your measuring tape to find the distance from your shoulders to mid-thigh. You should also take your chest measurement. Cut a neck hole by folding your insulation in half and cutting a slit, then cut your insulation so that it falls to mid-thigh, stopping at the outside of your shoulders. Dress up the edges of your tunic with silver ribbon, or take drawer liner to give your tunic the appearance of being chain mail. What kind of coat of arms will grace the front of your shield? Cut a piece of felt as you desire, and glue these to the front of your pie tin shield. Now you can finish the shield by giving yourself a handle; glue a piece of elastic across the inside of the pie tin to do this. Your scouring pads will be perfect imitations of the joint armor knights wore. Simply glue loops of elastic to each scouring pad. Now you can slip these on over your knees and elbows. Red and black feathers are striking, but any colors you choose will work for your plume. Glue these to one side of your metal colander, and your helmet is ready for action. If you have a sensitive scalp or the colander is uncomfortable, it may help to attach an elastic chinstrap or wearing a hat underneath the colander for padding. The fabric of your black gloves don't exactly look knightly, so glue your drawer liner to each to give your gloves the appearance of gauntlets. The liner doesn't have to completely cover each glove; enough liner for effect is fine. Put on your gray and black boots, gloves, hoodie, and your knightly gear.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Evaluate how your bird likes to play. Find safe toys. Pick brightly colored toys. Choose noisy toys. Buy foraging toys. Place a mirror in their cage.

Answer: Before you buy your parakeet toys, test out the ways in which it likes to play. Make paper foraging toys or weave pieces of paper through its cage. Give it small objects from around the house like bottle caps or little balls and see how it reacts to them. This will help you determine what kinds of toys to invest in. You may also find that your bird enjoys the simple toys just as much as ones you bought at a pet store. Make sure that you give your bird safe things to play with. Avoid anything treated with harsh chemicals or solvents. Make sure that the toys you are giving your bird are appropriate for their size. Parakeets can get stuck and die in toys intended for larger birds. You should also avoid any toys with sharp edges that could poke your bird or lose strings that could strangle them. If you are in doubt about the safety of a toy, talk to a clerk at your pet store or email the toy retailer. Because parakeets can see the full spectrum of colors, they are particularly attracted to colorful objects. When considering toys, you should buy things that have vibrant coloring. Bright primary colors, like yellow, red, and blue, are great choices. Although you can give your bird toys that are drably colored, they may not play with them as much. Be sure to choose toys that are colored with non-toxic materials. Parakeets are social birds by nature and make a lot of noises. Because of this, they also enjoy toys that make a lot of sound. Toys with bells attached to them are particularly popular with parakeets. You can also hang a few small bells in your birds cage. Avoid buying the Christmas style "jingle bell" with openings. Your parakeet may get stuck in the holes. Instead, buy an open-bottomed bell. Parakeets are particularly fond of toys that mimic foraging activities. Because parakeets have smaller beaks, you will want to invest in foraging toys that are made of soft-woods or cardboard. Wooden toys are a particularly good choice because they are also safe for your bird to chew on. Avoid plastic toys if you can. These can contain harmful toxins. If you own a single parakeet, you might want to consider installing a mirror in its cage. Parakeets are social and like having other birds like them around. If you install a mirror, your bird will chirp at and interact with the mirror as if it is another parakeet. You may have to clean the mirror occasionally. Be warned though, sometimes if a bird is lonely, it will never leave the mirror. This means that they may stop eating and drinking, and could be fatal.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide if you want an autograph or a picture. Plan what you will say ahead of time. Approach her if she doesn't look too busy. Ask for her autograph or picture. Remain calm.

Answer:
Many celebrities do not have time for both, especially if there are a lot of fans around. So decide whether you would like a piece of memorabilia signed, or just a picture. If you are lucky, you may get both. If you want an autograph, bring a pen with you and ask Taylor to personalize it. Wanting an autograph personalized may increase your chances of getting it, since it signals to her that you are not trying to make money off of it. Most celebrities only have enough time for a quick, "Your work is very inspiring," or "I'm a huge fan. I love your work!" Avoid planning a long speech about how she has inspired you. If you want to tell her something more, write a letter and give it to her when you meet her. She may read it when she has some downtime while traveling. Include your name and email or home address in the letter, if you would like a response from her. If you happen to spot Taylor while she is out enjoying a nice dinner with her family, it may be better to wait until the next time you spot her to ask for her autograph. If you do decide to approach her, respect her privacy if she declines your request. If she is out by herself or with friends, this is a good time to approach her. Instead of stating, "I want your photograph or autograph," ask if she would be willing to take a picture with you or sign your album cover. Additionally, use formalities when addressing her until you are asked to address her informally. For example, "Hi, Ms. Swift, may I have your autograph? It would mean a lot to me," or, "May I take a picture with you Ms. Swift? I am a huge fan." Running over to her, screaming, or showing excessive adoration may turn her off, which may decrease your chances of getting her autograph or picture. Instead, walk up to her calmly, smile, and ask for her autograph politely. If she decides to sign your album cover or take a picture with you, show your appreciation by thanking her for her generosity and time.
