Problem: Article: Click this link in a Google Chrome browser window, then click the blue + FREE button to install Adblock Plus. Adblock Plus accepts payments from companies to show some unobtrusive ads, although you can disable this option. The service is otherwise almost identical to the AdBlock extension described in the other section. Once Adblock Plus is installed, a new tab will open announcing this. Scroll down to view more options, and enable these extra protections if you want them: Malware Blocking will block domains that are known sources of viruses or other malware attacks. Remove Social Media Buttons will block buttons from Facebook, Twitter, etc. from appearing on other sites. Disable Tracking will prevent websites you visit from tracking your browsing, which is usually done for the purpose of providing you with targeted ads. Click the Adblock Plus icon in the top right of your Google Chrome window. It looks like a red octagon with the letters "ABP" in the center. All the steps below can be completed in this menu. The first tab in the options menu is called "Filter lists," and lets you choose which lists of ads you wish to use to determine what gets blocked. By default, only "EasyList" is used, which should block most ads by itself. Here are some additional, commonly used options: Uncheck "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" to disable small, text-only ads. Check "Adblock Warning Removal List" to disable banners and messages requesting that you turn off Adblock. Click "Add Filter Subscription," select a non-English language from the list, then click "Add" to disable ads in that language. If an ad manages to get through a filter, or if a large page element you don't care about is slowing down your browsing, you can block that specific ad: Right click the ad, then click "Block Element." Alternatively, click the Adblock Plus icon in the top right, click "Block element," then click the ad. Do not edit the filter that pops up without reading the instructions in the section below, or the official tutorial. Click "Add," or press enter on your keyboard, to block the ad. If you made a mistake, click "Cancel" or press esc.
Summary: Install Adblock Plus. Set your preferences in the tab that opens. Look at more options. Disable additional ads. Block individual ads.

Problem: Article: To minimize defensiveness, don't suddenly bring up the steroid use out of nowhere. Instead, choose a time when both of you can talk for a while. Keep distractions away, such as cell phones or television shows. You and your teen should be able to spend some time honestly addressing what's going on without feeling rushed or distracted. Choose a time when you know your child will be home and won't be distracted by other obligations, like a test they need to study for. Try not to be accusing or angry with your child. Instead, give them the opportunity to talk. Watch your tone of voice and try to withhold your judgments, fears, or anger. Try not to get frustrated or show any disappointment. This can make your teen shut down or lash out. Don't speak to your child while you're upset. If you just found out about your teen's use, take some time to gather your thoughts before confronting them. If you start getting upset, take a few deep breaths before saying anything more. However you find out about your teen's steroid abuse, be it through spotting symptoms or hearing about it from someone else, you need to confront them. Although your child may not want to speak about your concerns, you must be persistent regarding their health. One of the most important aspects of your teen's recovery is open and effective communication. For example, start by saying, "There's something that concerns me that we need to talk about. Can you tell me about your steroid use?" Open up a discussion but do not get angry with them. Be there for them, allowing them to feel that they are safe and can express themselves fully. Ask your child about why they are abusing steroids and where they have been gaining access to them. You should try to obtain this information to help your child, not to punish them. Say, "I'm here to support you, not judge you. I'd like to know what started your use and where you're getting steroids from." There are many risks associated with using steroids that teens may be unaware of. For example, your teen may develop high blood cholesterol, severe acne, thinning hair, fluid retention, high blood pressure, or liver damage. If your teen shares needles, they can contract HIV or other blood-borne diseases. Tell your teen why you're concerned and how the steroids can affect their health. Let them know this is something to take seriously.
Summary: Choose an appropriate time. Remain calm. Bring up the steroid use. Ask your teen about the problem. Talk about the risks of steroids.

Problem: Article: Chalky paint has a matte finish, goes on with minimal prep work, and is easier to scrape off while you're distressing your furniture. Choose a paint color that matches the aesthetic in the rest of your room. Chalky paint is not the same as chalkboard paint. Chalkboard paint is meant to be written on with chalk after it dries, while chalky paint just has an ultra-matte finish. You can buy chalky paint from any painting supply store. Adding marks to a table surface or furniture legs can make it seem older than what it actually is. Lightly tap your furniture with the end of a chisel or hammer to make indents in the surface. Make the marks random so it doesn't look like an intentional pattern. Wear safety glasses in case any wood accidentally breaks off your furniture. Experiment with different tools around your house to see what kind of marks they make. Use 120-grit sandpaper to roughen the surfaces on your piece of furniture. This helps the paint adhere better so it's less likely to peel off or chip. Make sure to sand any surface you plan on painting so you get a nice even coat. You do not need to sand unfinished wood furniture. Wet a cleaning cloth with warm water and wring it out until it's damp. Wipe all of the surfaces you plan on painting to get rid of any dust or dirt that's on them. Use another cloth to dry any areas that are wet before you start. Dip the ends of the bristles in your paint so there's only a small amount on your paintbrush. Start from the top of your piece of furniture and work toward the bottom. Apply a thin layer of paint on the surface so it can dry fast and even. When you're finished with the first coat, leave it to dry overnight. It's okay if you still see the wood or laminate underneath your first coat of paint. This can help add to the distressed look of the final piece. Once the first coat of paint has dried completely, put another coat of paint on your piece. Again, work from the top of the furniture down toward the bottom, and paint until it has a smooth matte finish. When you're done, let it dry for 3-4 days so the paint has time to adhere to the furniture. Corners and edges are usually the first parts that wear away over time, so start by distressing them. Use 120-grit sandpaper to rub the dry paint off of the surface to expose the wood or laminate underneath. Apply light pressure so you don't accidentally remove more than you want. Add more distress marks where your furniture touches the floor so it looks like it's been scratched up after moving around a lot. Wipe any dust away with a damp rag so you can easily see where you've already distressed the furniture. If you accidentally rub off too much of the paint, you may paint over the area again and start over. Wax acts as a sealant to help protect your furniture from any damage. Dip the end of a cheesecloth in the wax and spread it across the surface of your furniture. Work the wax into the surface in a circular motion until it's smooth. Continue waxing the entire piece of furniture so it's sealed. Furniture wax can be bought from your local hardware or paint supply stores. Wax may take up to 30 days to completely cure, but you can use the furniture after one week.
Summary:
Use chalky paint for your furniture. Add dings and dents to the furniture surface for an extra-distressed look. Sand the furniture if it has a finish on it. Wipe the furniture with a damp cloth before painting. Apply a coat of paint and let it dry. Paint a second coat onto your furniture and leave it to cure for 3-4 days. Sand edges and common places of wear and tear with 120-grit sandpaper. Seal the wood and paint with finishing wax.
