If you can't eject the tray using the physical eject button (if there is one) or Windows, the door is probably jammed. Turning off your computer will stop the disk from spinning and make it safe to open the drive with a paperclip. You'll usually see a small round pinhole on, below, or beside the drive tray. Behind that hole is a button that can eject the tray whether the PC is on or off. If you're using a desktop PC and don't see a pinhole, you'll need to remove the front panel to make it visible. Check your PC's manual for instructions on removing the panel. It's important that your PC is not connected to a power source when attempting to open the tray with a paperclip. Bend one end of the paperclip so it extends straight, and then insert it slowly into the pinhole. When you feel resistance, push inward until the tray pops open. Sometimes the LED light and manual release holes will look very similar. If the paperclip doesn't easily insert into the hole, don't force ityou've likely found the light rather than the release hole. If the tray will not pop out, see Ejecting from Inside a Desktop PC. Gently pull the tray away from the drive to open it fully. Remove the stuck disk if applicable, and then push the tray back in when you're finished. Turn the computer back on then test the drive's eject button or use Windows File Explorer to see if the drive will eject normally. If you are only able to eject the tray with a paperclip going forward, you'll need to have the drive serviced.

Summary: Turn off your PC. Locate the manual release hole on the CD/DVD-ROM drive's door. Remove all power cords. Gently insert one end of a paperclip into the manual release hole. Pull the tray out.

Take snuff in small portions. There is no need to inhale a large amount of snuff in one sitting. In fact, doing so could irritate your nose and cause light-headedness. Stick to balls of snuff that are smaller than the size of a pea. Snuff is usually sold in tobacco stores in small boxes. Most people inhale snuff by placing it between their thumb and forefinger. You would then place one nostril near the snuff and gently inhale. You are not trying to snort the snuff and get it deep into your nasal cavity. The goal is to inhale enough to get the snuff near the front of your nose. Try to inhale gently, absorbing the scent of snuff. If holding snuff between your thumb and forefinger is uncomfortable, you can use any other two fingers. For example, you could pinch snuff between your ring finger and thumb instead. A snuff bullet is a small, metallic bullet-shaped device designed for snuff users. You would place a small amount of snuff into the bullet and then inhale throughout the day. You can use a snuff bullet throughout the day without bothering others, which is its main advantage. It also makes for a nice storage container for snuff. You usually fill the snuff bullet about 3/4 of the way full. This should provide you with enough snuff to snort safely. Tap the bottom of the snuff bullet three or four times. The bottom is the less slender end of the bullet, that does not have an opening. This allows the snuff to move to the surface. Place the open end of the bullet in your nose. Angle the bullet forward slightly. When you inhale, you want the snuff to go into your nose but not up your nasal cavity. Sniff lightly until you feel some of the snuff settling into the tip of your nose. You will probably feel a slight burn, especially if this is your first time using snuff. Many snuff users advocate for putting snuff on the back of their hands to use. You can tap a small amount of snuff onto the back of your hand, lean down, and inhale. If you're outdoors, snuff could blow away in the wind using this method. It also may be cumbersome to use snuff like this is in a social situation. When inhaling snuff, go slow. You do not want to snort snuff into your nasal cavity. Only inhale with enough force to gently lift some of the snuff into your nose. This should be enough to provide you with a light buzz, similar to the buzz you'd get from a cigarette. It takes awhile to get used to the sensation of snuff. Therefore, expect some sneezing early on. It's not uncommon to sneeze more than once after using snuff for the first time. Keep tissues on hand when you first start using snuff. After awhile, sneezing should become less of an issue. If you're sneezing or coughing excessively after using snuff, you may have inhaled it too far into your nose. Remember, snuff should stay in the front of your nostrils. It should not be snorted too far back. If you cough or sneeze excessively after using snuff, try to inhale with less force next time.

Summary: Use small portions. Pinch the snuff and inhale. Use a snuff bullet. Place the snuff on the back of your hand. Inhale slowly. Expect some sneezing.

Each state has its own requirements, but you generally must have earned a certain amount of money before you become eligible for unemployment benefits. This period is called your "base period," and states measure it differently. For example, in Illinois, you must have made at least $1,600 in your base period, and you must have earned at least $440 in one of those quarters. If you're unsure whether you've earned enough, go ahead and apply. Let the office reject you if you haven't earned enough. To qualify for benefits, you must have lost the job through no fault of your own. Consider the reason why you are now unemployed. Layoff. You will typically qualify for benefits if your employer was downsizing or if they just didn't have enough work for you. Firing. Generally, you can't collect benefits if you were fired for serious misconduct, such as intentionally neglecting your duties. However, you might qualify for benefits if you were fired because the company thought you weren't a good fit. Quitting. You probably can't get benefits if you quit because you disliked your job or because your boss annoyed you. However, you might qualify if you quit for "good cause." Each state defines good cause differently, but harassment, discrimination, or fraud usually qualify. You might also qualify if you quit because of health or family concerns, such as domestic violence or because you needed to take care of a sick relative. Your state wants you out and looking for work. For this reason, you can only get unemployment benefits if you are willing to accept a job when one is offered to you. You might not qualify as willing and able to work in the following circumstances: You probably won't qualify if you are sick and cannot work. You won't qualify if you don't have transportation. You aren't required to travel hundreds of miles to a potential job, but you must be able to get to one reasonably nearby. You might not qualify if you are mainly a student.
