Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take a look at your vices. Get rid of this crutch, too. Realize that your thoughts are not you. Practice mindfulness.

Answer: Many people deal with their negative emotions with drinking, partying, smoking, gambling or any combination of bad habits. They push away how they actually feel and the distress comes out in their behavior. To get at this emotion and to have it be gone forever, the vices have to go, too. They're not doing you any favors. And for others, these vices bring about the negative feelings. Drinking leads to poor choices and poor choices lead to misery and misery leads to drinking. And other times the cycle is a little less obvious, so people don't see the connection. Regardless of whether the emotion spawns the vice or the vice spawns the emotion, the habit needs to be kicked. For too many of us, negative emotions are a crutch. They're rewarding. It sounds crazy, but we manage to find it comfortable. Every time someone says, "Good job!" we think in our heads and some of us say out loud "No, it wasn't that great." So take a step back and think about your thought patterns. How do you find this negative emotion reassuring? How is it rewarding you? For example, most of us are worriers. We over-analyze and over-analyze and over-analyze an event till we're blue in the face. We hate it, but we can't stop doing it. If we actually hated it, you'd think we'd stop, right? But we don't -- that worrying makes us feel like we're preparing. In actuality, we can't tell the future and we're no better off than we'd be without the worry. Since this step can be a little hard to take charge of, just pause for a second the next time you start to feel this emotion. Are you used to it? Is being happy or contented scary? How can you show yourself that you're getting nothing out of it? This is the best part: you fabricate all of your thoughts. 100% of them. Sure, some of them are regurgitated things people have told you, but you're still the one doing the regurgitating. And what does this mean? It means that you're the conductor of this train and what you say goes. If you don't want to think these things, you don't have to. When you see that you and your thoughts are different, it's easier to see that these thoughts aren't necessarily true. It's easier to see that thinking you're dull and boring is different from being dull and boring. Seeing the difference lets you step outside of yourself for a wider perspective. Our thoughts are ephemeral little action potentials firing away in our neurons. They're the result of that TV show we watched last night, what we had for breakfast, and things our parents told us when we were kids. We really our running our own program. They have much more to do with our bodies, patterns, and even culture than they have to do with reality. Once you've seen that these thoughts totally lack any sense of power (after all, they're thoughts), it's time to start taking action. The first step? Practicing mindfulness. This means being aware of how you're feeling, observing your mind, and knowing how and when to bring it back when it runs astray. And it will, occasionally. To do this, try meditation. If you're not into climbing a mountain, spending days with monks, and sitting for hours cross-legged, just take 15 minutes or so out of your day, lay down, and have some well-deserve "me-time." Deep breathing exercises and yoga can be helpful, too.

If you do not hear a dial tone, something is wrong. 3 Ways to Diagnose Landline Phone Problems Releasing the prongs should bring back the dial tone. To dial a 4 you would rapidly press the prongs down four times. To dial 0, press the prongs down rapidly ten times

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research the rules of the city where you will be building your house. Create a rough sketch of your house before drawing blueprints. Plan to scale your house design by 0.25in (0.64cm) per 1ft (0.30m).

Answer: You will have to do a lot of research before you get started to ensure that you are doing things according to your locale's rules. Many regions have special rules and regulations about the type of house you can build. You may have to build a house that meets standards for square footage or that is accessible by road. Check your local government's website or call the office responsible for issuing building permits to find out what you will need to include in your design. If the rules are complex, you may want to hire an architect to help you design your home. They will be aware of all of the rules and know how to design a house that will be up to these standards. A rough sketch will help you to figure out what type of house you want to design. Before you create an accurate scaled image of the home you want to build, make a rough sketch. Include the basic features that you want the house to have, but don't worry about drawing these features to scale. For example, if you want to create a 2 story house with 4 bedrooms, you would need to create 2 separate floor-plans and label each room. You could also include special features that you want the house to have, such as built in cabinets and light fixtures. Consult pictures of houses and rooms that you like as your inspiration. Getting the scale of your house accurate is very important! Before you draw your blueprints, determine what dimensions you want the house to have. Then, convert these dimensions using an architect's scale. 1ft (0.30m) will be represented by 0.25in (0.64cm) on your blueprint. For example, if you want the living room to be a 12 by 12ft (3.7 by 3.7m) space, then you would represent this with a 3 by 3in (7.6 by 7.6cm) room on the blueprint. Make sure to consult your scale often and continue to check the scale throughout the design process.
