Q: Add fresh herbs to the mix. Chop the herbs finely. Or use dried herbal mixes to taste. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter. This provides a more intense, cheesy flavor. Use half butter/half olive oil in the second method above for a better toast-like result. Try sprinkling on onion powder or chili powder for a new twist. Sprinkle freshly cracked pepper over the top of the garlic butter or oil mix. Spread the olive oil and garlic mixture on bread, then top the slices with chopped onion and tomato. Add a few shavings of Parmesan cheese if desired. Cut a clove of garlic just in half, and grate over the toast. Then cut in half a tomato and grate over the toast. Cover with olive oil and some sea salt and pepper. Great to eat natural or with a piece of cheese or tomato!
A: Consider varying the garlic and butter or olive oil mixes as follows: Make a delicious bruschetta. For Spanish toast, toast some white bread (cut in slices or larger pieces to taste).

Q: You might have noticed going over potholes and bumps isn't as smooth as it used to be in your ride, which is probably a sign that your shocks are worn out and need replaced. A good easy way to test your shocks and make sure they're worn out enough to be replaced is to push down hard on the trunk or the hood directly above the wheel well. Good shocks should bounce up once and settle relatively quickly. If the body bounces any more than that after pushing, it's time for a new set. You also need to know if your vehicle uses stand-alone shocks that attach to the vehicle suspension or frame, or if it uses shock-absorber units which integrated into a suspension strut, such as the MacPherson or Chapman strut. Your car may even have a combination, using shocks in the front and struts in the back. Struts can be difficult to replace, so it's best to let a professional handle that job. If you're unsure what type of shock absorbers you need, speak to someone at your local auto parts store or an auto mechanic to be sure you buy the right shock absorbers or piston for your vehicle. You can get identical replacements of the shocks you have in your car currently, but taking the time to change out your shocks is also a good opportunity to perform any upgrades, if you're interested. Performance shocks are appropriate for heavy-use daily drive vehicles, especially trucks. Coil shocks are manufactured with a coiled spring around the body of the shock, which supports the weight of the vehicle and controls the movement of the suspension. These are adjustable, which means you can alter the height of your truck for optimum performance. Twin-tube shocks have a set of tubes, one inner and one out, that house the piston, along with a layer of shock fluid and air, which can have a tendency to create a foamy, frothy mixture that can affect performance, though some modern variations feature a nitrogen mixture that addresses the issue. These are common on off-road vehicles. Monotube shocks feature a tube and two pistons, which work essentially like the twin-tube shocks work, with one piston separating the layer of nitrogen from the air. It runs cool and is a popular performance choice for trucks. Reservoir shocks are filled with fluid, and either pressurized air or nitrogen. As the shock absorbs bounce, the fluid contacts the gas, causing resistance and dampening the spring action. Park your car on a level surface and loosen the lug nuts on both sides of the front or back end. Secure your vehicle with ramps and/or jack stands. Check your owner's manual for the correct jack positioning. When you've got the car up, remove the wheels and locate the shocks. Shocks will be affixed with a vertical bolt that has to be extracted from within the engine bay or the trunk, or may be positioned at the top by a horizontal bolt that has to be unfastened and knocked out of position. The most difficult part of the job is removing the old shocks, which can have a tendency to be really gunky with both age and road-grit, making the bushings and bolts somewhat difficult to remove. Check out the mountings to see if they're loose enough to get off, or if you're likely to crack the rubber around the bushing. It's ok if you do, since you're changing out the shock anyway, but it's usually easier to spray some WD-40 or PB Blaster in there and let it sit for a few minutes to try to loosen things up before you get to work.
A: Make sure you need new shocks. Purchase new shock absorbers. Consider upgrading your shocks. Jack your vehicle in an appropriate location. Check the shock mountings and spray them with metal cleaner.

Q: Trade with a friend or migrate them from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald version. You will not be able to fight Regigigas without them. You should also have: A strong Pokemon (Preferably Breloom or Parasect) 40+ Dusk balls When you approach the statue, he will awaken and you can fight him. He is strong but has the Slow Start ability, so use your first five moves to lower his attack and speed stats. Make sure you save before fighting. If Regigigas blacks you out, you run out of balls, or you kill him, you can just switch your DS off and on and try again. If you kill him and you haven't saved your game, you must defeat the Champion again so he will respawn.
A: Make sure you have Regirock, Regice and Registeel in your Pokemon party. Navigate to level B5F, where you will find the statue of Regigigas.

Q: Rejection is part of the writing process. The vast majority of poets, even well-established poets, were rejected many times throughout their career. If you receive a rejection, try not to ruminate over it. Send out a lot of poems. Publication is, in many ways, a numbers game. While you may only get a small percentage of what you send out published, you'll gain a lot of publications if you're submitting frequently. On the day you receive a rejection, try doing something to distract yourself. Read a book, go for a bike ride, take a walk, or take a warm bath. Engage in some self care to help you mourn the loss. An agent can be great for a literary career. However, very few agents are willing to take on poets. Only the absolute best-known poets receive representation from an agent. Even some well-known poets operate independently. While you may dream of having an agent of your own, accept that an agent is not a reasonable option, especially early on in your career. Sometimes, it comes down to who you know. Even in the literary worlds, knowing an editor can help you gain an edge over the competition. Read the editorial board of various journals. If you recognize a colleague from graduate school, undergrad, or from anywhere else, get in touch. Knowing someone on the inside can help your work get read. For larger journals especially, a lot of work is read hastily or not at all. Tenacity is important if you want to be a poet. There will be many setbacks along the route to publication. Do not be discouraged. Keep submitting your poetry, despite rejection, and you will eventually find success. Tenacity takes practice. It may take quite a few rejections before you're able to bounce back with ease. See rejections as a chance to practice become strong and tenacious rather than seeing them as setbacks.
A:
Take rejection in stride. Accept getting an agent is not always practical. Try some networking. Be tenacious.
