Problem: Article: Measure out the oil and pour it in the skillet. Swirl the oil around the skillet until it coats the bottom. Turn the burner on to medium-high and place the skillet over it. Heat the oil until it begins to shimmer. Mince 2UStbsp (30ml) of garlic and add the garlic to the hot oil. Measure out 1/3 cup (43 g) of the taba ng talangka paste and add that, as well. Give the ingredients a good stir so the garlic is coated evenly with the crab paste. Stir the mixture occasionally as it heats up in the skillet. Wait for the mixture to start bubbling vigorously before moving to the next step. This should only take a few minutes. Soak 1 teaspoon of achiote powder (annatto powder) in 3UStbsp (44ml) of hot water. Strain the "juice" to remove any gritty bits of powder, then add the 3UStbsp (44ml) to the mixture in the skillet. You can use white, brown, or jasmine rice for this, depending on your tastes. Continue to cook the mixture over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until the rice is evenly coated with the taba ng talangka sauce. Once the rice is thoroughly coated in the sauce and heated through, turn off the burner. Divide the dish up on 2 or 3 plates and serve it right away. Taba ng Talangka rice is an excellent side dish for grilled seafood, pork, or chicken. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and consume them within 3 days.
Summary: Heat up 1UStbsp (15ml) of extra-virgin olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the minced garlic and taba ng talangka to the skillet. Saute the garlic and taba ng talangka until the mixture bubbles. Add 3UStbsp (44ml) of achiote juice and cook for 30 seconds. Add 3 cups (360 g) of cooked rice and stir the ingredients thoroughly.

Problem: Article: On the main page of each site, look for a tab or icon that states "Price My Car" or something similar. After you click on this tab it will take you to a brief form to fill out. The website will then use the information that you supply to come up with a market value estimate for your car. These sites will give you an estimate free of charge in most cases. If you choose to list your vehicle for sale on their site, there may be additional fees. After you leave the main website and head into the used car category, one of the first pieces of information that you'll need to supply will be the date of creation for the vehicle and the model (or type of body) for the vehicle. This information should be listed on your owner's manual or may even appear on the inside of your driver's door. If you are uncertain of the year, enter in a date range. If you are uncertain about the model, look up similar vehicles online until you find one that looks that same as yours. Look at the odometer on your car and you'll see a series of numbers that shows the car's mileage. You may need to turn on your car to see this display on newer vehicles. Then, enter in this number where prompted on the FMV website. Put simply, cars with fewer miles are almost always worth more than those with many miles. This information allows the website to tailor your car's FMV to your particular area. This is important because the FMV of a vehicle can shift according to supply and demand. If the demand for your type of car is high in your area, then your FMV will reflect this. For example, if you live in a city area, then smaller vehicles may be in demand and could end up with high FMVs. Walk around your car from bumper to bumper and write down everything that makes it unique compared to other vehicles. Many of these options will be for a driver's convenience or comfort, such as power windows and locks. You might also list chrome bumpers/mirrors, AC, window tinting, sunroof, leather interior, sound system extras, and any guidance systems. It sometimes helps to assess your car in terms of exterior, interior, and mechanical condition. Note any flaws in these separate areas. Then, read over the levels provided by the website and chose the one that most closely fits your vehicle. For example, a car that no longer runs might be assessed as "Poor" or "Not Running" in the mechanical category. After you've entered in all of the requested information, click the tab on the bottom to get your pricing report. When the report pulls up, read over it. Then, save a PDF to your computer and print out a few copies for your reference. Potential buyers might also want a copy of the FMV estimate. This lets them know that your asking price is fair and reasonable.
Summary: Go to Edmunds (www.edmunds.com) or Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com). Enter in the exact year and model for your vehicle. Provide your car's mileage. Plug in your zipcode or city name. List out all of your car's options and amenities. Be honest about your car's condition. Save or print out copies of your final report.

Problem: Article: In many cases, professional landscapers and certain non-profit groups concerned with repairing the effects of soil erosion can come to you and assess the severity of the soil damage on your property. These experts will perform a detailed examination of your land and come up with solutions for restoring soil to its natural health. Check to see if any of your local landscaping businesses offer soil restoration services, or if there are other eco-related groups in your area that might work with you on rescuing badly eroded soil around your home. Ecological restoration groups sometimes operate out of farms and universities, and many will assist in repairing erosion damage voluntarily or for little cost. Even if your soil is healthy, you should consult with a professional landscaper once a year or so to inspect your property for potential problems and discuss preventative solutions. Purchase live earthworms and add them to areas where soil is compacted, dry or barren they'll dig through the soil and help aerate it. Earthworms are some of the world's greatest biological decomposers, feeding on decaying organic matter and returning vital nutrients to the soil through excretion. Earthworm activity is one of the best means of naturally recycling and reintroducing organic nutrients to soil. In addition to infusing soil with badly needed nutrients, the subterranean movement of earthworms also acts as a kind of hands-free aeration process, increasing nutrient mixture, moisture retention and room for new root growth in topsoil. Earthworms can be purchased at most gardening supply stores for this very purpose, or may be acquired locally from conservation groups. Amendment is the process by which missing nutrients are added to eroded soil directly in order to restore the right chemical balance. Many different types of amendments can be used: compost is a common amendment used for gardening purposes, as are organic fertilizers, salt and peat. Soil amendment can be used in conjunction with aeration, earthworm introduction and meticulous watering to bring soil back to a healthy state. In order to select the right amendment for your soil, it is first necessary to identify the exact properties your soil lacks. You may be able to use erosion symptoms to diagnose various deficiencies, but it's probably wiser to work with a landscaper or other soil expert to find out what's missing from your soil and take the appropriate action.
Summary:
Contact a soil expert. Introduce earthworms to damaged soil. Consider soil amendment.
