INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get your body and mind used to going to sleep early by doing the same things each night before you go to sleep. Do whatever relaxes you: read a book, take a bath or shower, listen to relaxing music, etc. Many people find that warm drinks or tea can help them become comfortable and sleepy (just stay away from caffeinated beverages). Chamomile tea is a good choice because it has a calming effect. Meditation and/or breathing exercises are also recognized as calming techniques. A simple breathing exercise is to inhale for a count of 3 or 4, then exhale for a count of six or eight. A few repetitions of this can be very helpful when trying to calm down and go to bed early. This means having a comfortable mattress, bedding, etc. Some people find it helpful to use aids to lessen outside distractions, like earplugs or the white noise of a small fan or other device. If you feel tired, it means you should go to bed. Don't force yourself to stay awake. On the other hand, if you're not tired, don't try to force yourself to sleep. If you are tired, but can't seem to fall asleep within 20 minutes, then get up and do something calming or boring (avoid electronic devices, exercise, working, eating, etc.) until you feel tired again. Eventually, you should be able to reach your early bedtime more consistently.

SUMMARY: Establish a sleep routine. Make sure that your bedroom is relaxing. Go to bed when you feel tired.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have a small bust, wearing a horizontal ruffle that runs along your chest will help add volume. This will make you look curvier, helping to balance out your frame. For instance, you might wear a button-down blouse with a small ruffle about halfway between your bust and your collarbone. Then, pair that with slim-fitting trousers and heels. By making the bottom half of your body look more slender, you'll help your enhance your bust even more. Ruffles along your collar may also make your bust look larger, especially if the ruffles are wide. If you have a large chest, horizontal ruffles can make it look bigger. If you'd like to minimize the area, look for a top that has a ruffle running down the center. This will create a lengthening illusion, making your top half look leaner. Try pairing this look with a pair of flare-legged jeans and chunky sandals or heels. This will help balance your frame. If you have narrow hips and you'd like them to look bigger, ruffles are a great way to add volume. One of the simplest ways is to find a skirt or a dress with ruffles along the hips. You can also look for a shirt with ruffles along the bottom hem. For instance, you might wear a tank dress with a fitted bodice and a ruffled skirt. Pair that with strappy sandals for a playful weekend look, or opt for heels and a cute necklace for a glam night out! If your hips are the widest part of your body, avoid wearing a dress or a skirt with ruffles along that area. Instead, opt for garments with ruffles along the hem. By adding volume where your legs start to narrow, you'll create a flattering silhouette for your bottom half. For instance, you might wear a figure-skimming sheath dress with a ruffled hem and a pair of neutral pumps for a pretty, work-friendly look. If you have wide hips and a small bust, you can choose whether to add volume at the bottom of your look or across your chest. There are ways to wear ruffles without changing the shape of your figure at all, if you don't want to. For instance, you might choose garments with ruffles on your shirt sleeves, along your collar, or on the back of a T-back tank top. You can also opt for ruffles on your shoes or purse, rather than wearing them on your outfit. Ruffles are basically the equivalent of having an accessory on your clothing, and they can overwhelm your frame if you don't pay attention to your styling. Stick to a sleek silhouette in the rest of your outfit, and try to keep your jewelry and other accessories minimal, just as you would when you're wearing an eye-catching statement necklace. If you're wearing a ruffled skirt, for instance, you might opt for a sleek tank top and a pair of flats. For instance, if you're wearing a ruffled blouse, you might wear a pendant necklace and a pair of stud earrings, or a cuff bracelet and a sleek handbag.

SUMMARY: Wear horizontal ruffles across your chest to make your bust seem larger. Opt for vertical ruffles on your chest if you have a large bust. Wear a ruffled skirt to make your hips look wider. Choose ruffles on the bottom of a skirt or dress to balance wider hips. Look for subtle ruffle details if you don't want to add any volume. Keep the rest of your outfit and your accessories simple.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if you're not using the generator, it needs to be serviced. Select dates that fall outside possible severe weather such as heat spells, cold snaps, windy and stormy periods, etc. I generally tell customers to service their generators in the spring and fall times to keep it on a regular schedule (Rae Klepadlo). If you keep pushing off the maintenance, chances are your generator will not work when the time comes. An average service takes about an hour to complete, depending on what you find. Keep this updated with the dates of service and any issues found and fixed.

SUMMARY: Service the generator twice yearly. Create a generator maintenance record book.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can do anything you will need to put your kite together and get it in the air. Lay your kite on its back, connect it to the pump, and inflate it.Setting up a surf kite for the first time isn't that hard, though it is easier if you have an experienced friend to help. Tether your kite down while inflating, so it doesn't blow away. Learning on land can be done on the beach or even at a park. You don't necessarily need to be near the water for this, generally stable wind. Walk backwards, downwind towards the launch point, laying out your line cleanly behind you as you go. Your partner should turn the kite over and stand with the kite ready in the edge of the wind window to catch the wind. When you are ready, give your friend a signal to launch the kite. It should fly up and as high as possible, while being centered. Get used to flying your kite on land. You should be in control of the kite at all times. Practice flying the kite at the right and the left without losing control to practice turning. The area in which you maintain control is called your wind window. Keep practicing until you get used to your specific kite's wind window. For most kites the window will be at approximately 11 o'clock on the left and 1 o'clock on the right. If desired and if the area is clear, you can ride a skateboard while you practice flying your kite.

SUMMARY:
Inflate your kite. Launch your kite. Practice flying.
