Q: The middle, or 13th pile has four cards: turn one of them over and place it on top of its stack. Look at the number or face-value of the card. The number or face will determine where the card goes. Starting with the 1 o'clock position, cards belong in the stack associated with their number: Aces go to the 1 o'clock pile, twos go to the 2 o'clock pile, threes go to the 3 o'clock pile, fours go to the 4 o'clock pile, fives go to the 5 o'clock pile, sixes go to the 6 o'clock pile, sevens go to the 7 o'clock pile, eights go to the 8 o'clock pile, nines go to the 9 o'clock pile, tens go to the 10 o'clock pile. For face cards, place the Jacks in the 11 o'clock pile and Queens in the 12 o'clock pile. Kings will be placed in the middle, or 13th pile. When you find the correct pile, slide the card face up, under the stack it belongs in. Turn over the top card of the pile you just played into. This becomes your next card in play. Place that card into the pile in which it belongs. For example, a 7 of diamonds would go facedown into the bottom of the 7 o'clock pile. A Queen of spades would go facedown at the bottom of the 12 o'clock pile. For each card that you turn over and place in the correct pile, flip over the next card from that pile and play it. Clock patience is a fun game to play quickly, so try to place the cards as quickly as you determine where they belong. Continue playing until there are no cards to flip over.
A: Play the first card. Move the card to its pile. Turn over the next card. Continue playing cards.

Q: Designate a small corner of your yard to use to grow flowers. Plant a variety of seasonals and perennials to suit your own preferences. The delightful colors and fragrances of a flower bed can add an idyllic beauty to your home. Consult with a gardening expert to see what types of flowers grow best in your region's particular climate. Don't overwater flowers. Unlike fast-growing plants like grass and shrubs, flowers don't require as much moisture on average, and watering too often may cause them to wither. Many people have begun sewing small patches of crops right in their own backyards. Decide what you'd like to growbeans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, squash; your options are nearly limitlessand make sure the soil is thoroughly aerated and suitable to grow vegetables in. Raising your own small batches of vegetables will give your yard a utilitarian appeal while providing you and your family with fresh, homegrown food to enjoy all summer long. Use organic compost to help vegetable crops absorb vital nutrients. If yard space is an issue, considering planting your vegetables on a vertical trellis, or even in a compact grower that you can keep inside your own house! Pick ripe vegetables immediately to keep pests from feeding on them. Build a simple wooden fence to mark your property and give your yard a sense of peaceful containment. Fences can be useful for offering a little privacy if you live in a crowded neighborhood, as well as keeping out animals that may trample and devour plants. If you contract with a handyman, ask them about the materials and expenses needed to put a fence around your yard. If you have an especially large yard, or one that is divided up with shrubs, flower beds or amenities like a pool or fire pit, you might construct a simple stepping stone path out of flagstones or wooden planks. A footpath can give you an expedient way to traverse your yard or garden without wearing down the grass, is easy to build and has a pleasant, quaint aesthetic. Take a look at these resources for simple plans to lay down a footpath: You'll be spending a lot of time outside this summer, so make sure you do it in leisure. Purchase some nice, sturdy lawn chairs to give you a place to sit and sip lemonade on a hot day. If space permits, you could even set up an entire dining set to host picnics. Study the layout of plants, trees and shrubs to decide on the best way to arrange the furniture, and turn your yard into a relaxing outdoor lounge. Be sure that you're buying furniture with water-resistant cushions and surfaces. This way, you won't have to worry about bringing it in every time it rains. Water-resistant outdoor furniture is often cleaned easily, as well. Place a small bench within a garden for a nice seating area, or lay out some reclining chairs somewhere unshaded for sunbathing.
A: Keep a flower bed. Plant a vegetable garden. Put up a fence. Build a rustic footpath. Invest in some outdoor furniture.

Q: Create a new Excel spreadsheet. Click Insert on the top menu or ribbon menu, then Shape. Choose a rectangle, oval, or any other shape. Click and drag in the spreadsheet to "draw" the shape. To make it a perfect circle or square, hold down Shift as you drag. Click on the lowest shape and type your name. Adjust the font size, color, and other styles if you would like before moving on to the next step. Select the shape you just drew and copy it with Ctrl+C ( Cmd+C on a Mac). Paste as many copies as you need by pressing Ctrl+V repeatedly. Click and drag the shapes into a family tree layout. Typically, you would put one shape at the bottom of the sheet, two in a row above that, two more above each of them, etc. Click on each shape and type to write in the name of each relative. Return to the Insert Shapes menu and select a zig zag line. Click and drag in the spreadsheet to draw a line connecting a shape with the two shapes (parents) above it. As before, copy-paste to create new lines and drag them into position. If you like, you can include birth dates or notes below each name. You can either add this inside the shape itself, or click on spreadsheet cells right below each name and type the info there.
A: Select Insert Shape. Place it in the spreadsheet. Write your name in the shape. Copy and paste to create more shapes. Arrange them in a family tree. Insert lines. Write in optional information.

Q: Using marble, granite, or any other solid surface is too hard and unyielding for a kitchen knife. This can dull your knife much more quickly. Choose a wooden cutting board instead of one made of plastic or any hard, solid material, such as glass. You should sharpen your knife annually. Honing is similar to sharpening, but it focuses more on removing nicks and recalibrating the angle of the blade. You should hone more often than you sharpen. Some ways that you can sharpen your knife include: using an electric sharpener, sending it to a professional, or using a sharpening stone. You can find more specific instructions on how to sharpen your knife at this website: http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/04/knife-skills-how-to-sharpen-a-knife.html. While cutting, frequently rinse it off with hot water and wipe it clean to keep food from building up on the blade. This prevents the blade from dulling and working less efficiently.
A:
Always cut on a cutting board. Sharpen and hone your knife regularly. Keep your knife clean while you're using it.
