INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you start making permanent changes to your jeans, put them on inside out and pull and pinch the excess fabric around the inner calf and ankle area that you'd like to make more narrow. Doing this while the jeans are inside out is best because you'll need to alter the inside seams to taper the jean correctly.

SUMMARY: Put on your jeans inside out.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: With a tape measure, record the distance from your hip to your shoulder. To get an accurate measurement, place a book between your legs vertically, simulating a bicycle seat, and measure from the top of the book to your collarbone. Measure this distance in inches and write the measurement on a piece of paper. You can also record this distance by measuring from your hip bone to the top of your shoulder with a tape measure. Spread one arm so that it is parallel with the floor and measure the distance from your fingertips to your shoulder. For a more accurate measurement, hold a pencil in your hand and measure the distance between the pencil and your collarbone. To find your total reach, add these measurements together, then divide the sum by 2. Then, add 4 inches (10cm) to this number and write the sum down on a piece of paper. Your total reach will be used to find the correct Top Tube measurement on your road bike. This equation looks like: [(Torso Length + Arm Span) / 2] + 4 inches (10cm) = Total Reach With a tape measure, record the distance between the head tube, or where your frame connects to the bike's handlebars, and the seat tube. This distance should closely match your total reach in order for you to have a comfortably fitting road bike. If your top tube length is longer than your total reach, your road bike frame is too big. If your top tube length is shorter than your total reach, try finding a bigger bike frame that fits your measurements. As an alternative to replacing the entire frame if the top tube is the wrong size, you can replace the handlebar stem with one that is longer or shorter, depending on what you need.

SUMMARY: Measure your torso length. Record your arm span. Equate your total reach using these measurements. Find and measure the top tube of the road bike.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Signs of an iron overdose include severe or bloody diarrhea and vomiting, fever, sharp stomach cramps, bluish lips and fingernails, rapid breathing, fast heartbeat, and seizures. Other causes for concern include rash, swelling, numbness or tingling, and trouble breathing. Call emergency services or get to an emergency room if you experience any of these symptoms while taking iron supplements. While black stools are normal and are a sign the supplements are working, they shouldn't have a tarry appearance. See your doctor if you experience tar-like stools, which are serious and could indicate intestinal bleeding. Constipation is a common side effect, but medications can help. Use an over-the-counter stool softener, or ask your doctor if they recommend a prescription-strength medication. Take your medication according the package's instructions or as directed by your doctor. Tell your doctor if you experience persistent nausea, cramps, constipation, or diarrhea. Ask them if you can take a lower dose or switch to an iron supplement in another form. If altering your dose isn't possible, ask them to recommend medication to relieve your specific symptoms, such as an anti-nausea or anti-diarrheal drug. If you haven't been taking your iron supplement with a meal, doing so could also help relieve side effects. Liquid iron supplements can give teeth a blackish tinge. To prevent stains, mix the dose with water or juice, and drink the beverage through a straw to minimize contact with your teeth. To remove stains, simply brush your teeth with baking soda or rinse your mouth with 3% hydrogen peroxide.

SUMMARY: Seek medical attention if you experience serious side effects. Take a stool softener if you experience constipation. Ask your doctor about lowering your dose if side effects persist. Drink a liquid iron supplement through a straw if it stains your teeth.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Write notes back and forth with a friend. Ask personal questions or entertaining questions such as "would you rather be attacked by a lion or an alligator and why." This is risky and you might get caught doing this, try at your own risk. You can also play hangman or tic tac toe on paper. You may want to have more than one game going at once so that you don't have to pass the paper as frequently. Be sure to be discreet about your note passing. Don't write anything in your note that you wouldn't want your teacher (and possibly your parents) to read in case she sees you and takes your note away. Playing a game like sudoku or a crossword puzzle can keep your mind active while the class is going on. You can be engaged with an activity but quiet at the same time. Try different puzzle games until you find one you like. You can find a book of puzzles or print them from the internet. Doodling can be a way to let loose while still listening to the teacher. Doodle on paper, preferably not a desk or chair. Meditating can be a relaxing way to entertain yourself silently. Breathe deeply in and out. Focus on deep, regular breaths but don't breathe too loudly. Sit straight in your seat with both feet flat on the ground. Place your hands in a neutral position on your desk. Clear your mind and focus on a happy, quiet thought. Meditate with your eyes open, but don't focus your vision on any particular thing in the room. Practice filling yourself with emptiness, then with a single idea or emotion.

SUMMARY:
Pass notes with a friend. Play a game by yourself. Doodle in class. Meditate silently in your seat.
