INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can choose a color and style of durag that work for you. Many people prefer doo rag that are a stretchy material that can be seen through when stretched. This makes them more breathable when they're tied tightly around your head. Line the center seam up with the center of your head for symmetry. Place the durag so that the front edge sits between your eyebrows and your hairline. Make sure your hairline is covered. If you have sideburns, they should stick out underneath. Take one tie in each hand. Pull both ties back behind the head so that they cross in an "X" behind the head. The ties will want to roll up so that they seem more like ropes than bands of fabric. Pull the ties back on their respective sides of the head. So the tie on the right hand side gets pulled back along the right side of the head. Ties should rest between the ear and the head, so that the ears stay exposed. If you don't want the ties to roll up like ropes, you can press them flat against your head as you pull them and wrap them. Once you've crossed the ties in the back of your head, pull them back in front. Make sure they cross in the center of your forehead. Then pull them all the way to the back of your head. If you want them to lie flat, you can smooth them out at this point also. Don't pull the ties too tightly or you can get headaches. Tie the ties into a knot at the back of your head. It should sit at the base of your skull. Begin as though you were tying your shoes. However, instead of making loops, simply make a double knot. Be careful not to tie it so tightly that you can't undo it later. The flap will now be hanging down your neck underneath the ties. Pull it down as though you were trying to get it to touch your back. This will tighten the durag and give some nice compression on your hair. Don't pull too hard or it will feel uncomfortable. Once the flap is pulled tight, you may want to tuck or tie it up. This prevents the flap from hanging down on your neck, which can get hot, or look sloppy. You can roll the flap up from the bottom and tuck it over the ties so that they hold it in place. If the flap is long enough, you can tie it in a knot and then tuck it up into the ties. This will create a small bump where the knot gets tucked.

SUMMARY: Place the durag on your head. Wrap the ties behind the head. Cross the ties in front of the head. Tie a knot. Pull down on the flap. Fold up flap if desired.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Click "File" on the menu bar, and then select "Import." While tracing on a new layer is technically optional, it will help you see what you are doing by giving you the option to play with the opacity settings on your image (or the tracing layer). Click "Layer" on the menu bar, then select "Layers." Click the "+" button to add a new layer. Type a name for the layer (like "tracing layer") and switch to "Above current" for the position. Click "Add." There are different tools available to suit different needs. Press the F6 key on your keyboard (or click on the pencil icon on the tool menu) to select the pencil/freehand tool. This tool will allow you to freely draw anywhere on your image. If you're using a drawing tablet, have a steady hand or not much to trace, this tool may suit your needs. Press Shift+F6 simultaneously (or click on the pen icon on the tool menu) to open the pen/Bezier tool. This tool allows you to click at the ends of lines you want to trace, which will create small, easy-to-manipulate segments. If you have several lines to trace and/or are using a mouse, this tool will give you the most precise results. Double-click at the end of each line to end the path. If you're using the pen tool, try using shorter lines instead of a single continuous line. This will make your trace easier to edit, as you won't have to start a long line all over again if you make a tiny mistake at the end. You can switch between your layers in the layer dialog box. Just double click on the layer name you want to work with and you'll be switched to that view. It may help to make your bitmap more (or less) opaque as you draw your paths. With the layer selected in the dialog box, move the slider bar beneath "Opacity" to see which settings works best for you. On the tool menu, click the second arrow button from the top (the "edit" arrow) to active edit mode. In this mode, you'll be able to click and drag nodes for fine-tuning. If you have too many nodes and it's taking you forever to move them all where they need to be, you can simplify your nodes. This may change the shape of your line just slightly, but it may not be noticeable. Use Ctrl+L ( Cmd+L on a Mac) to reduce the amount of nodes. To make sure you traced every line you want in your vector image, click on the first layer (the raster image) and reduce the opacity until all that's visible are the lines you drew. If you find you left out a line, return to the layer tool and increase the opacity so the lines you need to trace are visible. In the layer tool, click on the first layer (the layer containing the original artwork) and delete it by clicking the subtraction symbol. To save your trace, click File and then Save As.

SUMMARY: Import your image. Open the Layers dialog. Add a new layer. Select a tracing tool. Using your drawing tablet or mouse, trace every line in your image. Open the "Edit Node" tool. View your trace without the bottom layer. Remove the bottom layer and save your image.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use the computer the photos are stored on. In most email services this is accomplished by clicking "Attach" or a paper clip icon, then selecting the desired files. You can find more details at Add Files or Photos to Your Email. You can attach more than one photo using the same method. If the photos are high-quality, large, or numerous, or if your internet connection is slow, you may need to wait a few minutes first for them to attach. If you have more than a few photos to transfer, choosing another method is recommended. You may need to scroll down past the text of the email to see the image.

SUMMARY: Begin composing an email addressed to yourself. Attach the photo you wish to transfer to that email. Send the email to yourself. Open the email using your iPad. Tap the image attachment and select "Save to Camera Roll".

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you rush into the splits, you may hurt yourself. You must stretch before you do the splits even if you have done the splits a hundred times. Stretching your muscles will help you to ease into the splits more carefully. Do each stretch a few times repeatedly, so to increase flexibility in those stretches. If you want to follow a specific program, try physiotherapist Lisa Howell's flexibility program called The Front Splits Fast.

SUMMARY:
Stretch before you do the splits. Do a 10 to 20 minute warm-up, stretching each of your muscles.
