Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Store the champagne in a cool place. Store the champagne horizontally. Chill the champagne before serving.

Answer: Before you're ready to serve it, keep your champagne (and all wine) in cool-but-not-cold conditions with little direct light and very little variation in temperature. Basements that stay between 40F and 60F (4C-15C) are perfect. Horizontal storage helps prevent the wine from spoiling and allows the cork to remain moist, which will help keep the air out and keep the gas in. This is an important factor in maintaining the flavor and bubbles in your champagne. Colder champagne tastes better, but it is also less likely to bubble over when you open it. The ideal drinking temperature is between 45F and 48F (7C-9C). If you've got the time, 4 hours or more in a refrigerator will be enough to put your champagne into the proper range. The classic way to chill champagne is in an ice bucket. Champagne buckets are frequently larger than other wine chilling buckets to allow for more water and ice. You should fill the bucket with half water and half ice and let it chill for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wet the beret. Wring out the excess water. Shape the beret. Allow the beret to dry on your head.

Answer: Soak the beret in warm water. If your beret has a flash, keep it away from the water as much as possible. Note: Using hot water on the black rim will shrink the beret. If your beret is slightly too large, using hot water is a good idea. If your beret already fits your head snugly, be sure to avoid hot water. Get rid of all the extra water you can by gently wringing out the beret. It will still be damp, but make sure there is no more dripping water. Place the damp beret on your head. Pull the beret up to make it stand. If your organization uses the standard beret shape discussed in Method 1, pull all excess fabric down on the right side of your head by folding it with your hands. Repeat this action several times, making sure the fabric on top is completely smooth. Doing this will keep the beret from shrinking too much and will form the beret more closely to the exact shape of your head. If necessary, you may need to hold the fold down with one hand until it becomes secure. You may take the beret off if it's still slightly damp after a few hours.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep a copy of your prescription. Ask if your eye doctor will match online prices. Get a trial sample of contacts from your doctor. Try a cheaper brand. Consider a big-box retailer. Use coupons. Check online. Make sure the company is reputable. Check with the Better Business Bureau if you are still concerned. Compare prices online. Be cautious buying contacts from overseas.

Answer: You will need a prescription from within the last year to order contacts, so always ask your eye doctor for a copy after an exam. If you are considering trying to order contacts without an up-to-date prescription, know that online sellers are required to contact your doctor to verify your prescription. If they will, this offers the best of both worlds. You can purchase your contacts from your doctor and often pick them up the same day, while saving the same amount of money you would shopping online. Your eye doctor will usually be able to give you at least a pair of free contacts. Be sure to look online before your appointment, as you can sometimes find coupons online that are redeemable at your eye doctor for an entire box of contacts. Comfort and quality of vision are a main concern when buying contacts, but it is worth asking your eye doctor if there is a comparable, less expensive brand that you can try. Stores like Costco, Walmart, and Sam's Club have vision centers that can perform exams and sell contacts, often for less than your eye doctor. They also carry many contacts in stock, meaning you won't have to wait on shipping, as you would for an online provider. Online coupon sites offer up to 70% off on certain brands, and big-box stores and national eye care chains also frequently accept coupons. Vision insurance companies like VSP also regularly offer discounts and rebates on top brands, so be sure to check with your insurance before purchasing contacts. And don't forget to look for coupons for saline solution. Saving 2 or 3 dollars every time you buy a bottle can really add up by the end of the year. There are many websites that sell contacts for less than your doctor might, particularly if you buy in bulk. But you will want to make sure you are not only saving money, but also buying from a reputable company that can offer customer service or returns, if necessary. You want to be sure that the online seller you choose is capable of shipping your prescription quickly, and of handling returns if necessary. Before ordering, make sure: Customer service is available. This means you can get in contact with a live person if you need help or want to inquire about returns or shipping delays. Try their number before ordering. If you get an answering machine, you are likely dealing with a back-room operation. You know how quickly your order will ship. Smaller companies may take longer to deliver because they only stock the most common prescriptions. They offer returns. If you buy a year's supply of contacts and your prescription changes or your eye doctor recommends a different brand, you'll want to be able to return unopened boxes for credit. The ordering process is secure. The URL at the top of your browser should begin with https:// rather than http:// on any page that you enter personal information. The bureau can inform you of any complaints against a company and how they were resolved. There are many online sites that will compare prices from multiple seller, including Google Shopping, BizRate, PriceGrabber, Shopping.com and Yahoo! Shopping. When considering the price, be sure to: Include shipping and handling fees. Try entering large quantities in order to reduce shipping costs, but be sure to check the expiration date. Make sure you will be able to use all of your contacts before they expire. They may cost more than you think, due to exchange rates and possible import duties. Also, you will have fewer consumer rights if something goes wrong.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand what makes people cling. Reflect on your own history. Navigate manipulation. Be patient with your partner. Use imagery related to a healthy relationship. Evaluate if you're in a codependent relationship. Flow with the relationship.

Answer:
Often, partners cling when they fear that the person they care about is about to leave. You may subtly be spending less time together, texting or calling less often, or not be sending the same reassurance that you had previously. The fear of abandonment can kick in. While it's not your role to provide assurance, you can understand the behaviors and motivations behind clinging. If your partner starts to worry about you leaving, remind him or her while neither of you can predict the future, you are both happy now, and now is where the focus is best placed. Sometimes you choose people whom you share a great attraction, yet trigger your deepest insecurities. This can be true of your partner, too. Without you realizing it, you can trigger insecurities in your partner that have never been explored before. Realize that this may mean one person wants to pull closer or wants to pull away. While it's tempting to run, it can also be worth it to stick with it and work through the issues. Perhaps you've had clingy people in your life before (like a younger sibling or an ex) and your current partner's behavior is triggering those memories, causing you to want to run. Before you go blaming your partner, take a few moments to reflect on your own life. Have there been previous relationships when you've clung? What made you cling, and how did the other person respond to your behavior? What is it about the clinginess that upsets you, and how do you respond to it? Do you respond in anger, frustration, or distancing yourself? There's a distinction between neediness and manipulation. Manipulation often involves you giving up something for the other person. A manipulator may use weaknesses against you, blame you for things, or suggest that only you can help him or her. Especially if you tend to be a genuinely helpful person, be careful not to be taken advantage of by your partner. Ask yourself whether your partner's actions or needy or if they are manipulative. Manipulation can be punishing you when your partner doesn't get his or her way (giving the silent treatment, not performing household chores), or as extreme as threatening to hurt the self if you don't do what he or she wants. If you find yourself feeling punished when you don't comply with your partner's demands or neediness, it may be manipulation. If you feel like you are being manipulated, be careful in how you interact with your partner, especially when talking about offering help, money, or giving up something. For more information, check out How to Pick Up on Manipulative Behavior, How to Recognize a Manipulative or Controlling Relationship, and How to Deal With a Manipulative Person. Your partner can't necessarily help he or she feels clingy. Remind yourself of all the things that make your partner great and that make the relationship great. Be patient and empathetic toward your partner for why he or she feels this way. Perhaps your partner has felt abandoned in the past or there are things you don't fully understand about him or her. When you feel angry or frustrated, remind yourself to be patient, loving, and gentle toward your partner and his or her emotions. If you tend to run away, imagine yourself in a secure, equally balanced relationship. If your partner tends to cling, have him or her imagine the self in an equally balanced relationship. Even imagining a safe, healthy relationship can be helpful, especially when under stress. Set aside some time with your partner for this exercise. Close your eyes and imagine what a healthy relationship looks like to you (and your partner). Imagine feeling calm, centered, and happy at the thought of this relationship. What does it feel like? What do the two of you do together, and not do together? Then, shift your attention and imagine that that is the relationship you have. When you are finished, open your eyes and discuss. Often there's something about the relationship that's beneficial to both people and not just one person. So, if you have a partner that you perceive as clingy, is it possible that somehow you benefit from or play into the clinginess? Some signs of codependent relationships include an inability to find happiness outside of one person, staying with someone even though your partner has some unhealthy or destructive behaviors (like drug abuse or alcoholism). Do you find yourself giving to your partner (emotionally, physically, financially) even at the cost of your own health or well-being? Ask yourself if you give up your own needs to fulfill the needs of your partner. This can lead to short-term and long-term consequences. Ask yourself whether you are genuinely happy with your partner or if you stay with him or her based on what you'd lose if you broke up. Remember there will be times that you will be needy and times when your partner will distance from you. This is the normal flow of relationships. When you care about someone, you choose to love and support him or her during the ebbs and flows, even when it influences your life. Remind yourself that circumstances and situations can always change, and that relationships are fluid. Is your partner being clingy because of a situation or life event? If so, you may need to give your partner a momentary break and focus on being supportive. There will be times you will need extra support, too.
