to keep insects at bay. You can make traps and repellents using beer. Try mixing equal parts flat beer with mouthwash, then add in Epsom salt and dry yeast. Shake vigorously and put it in a spray bottle. Use it as a barrier around locations you want to keep pest-free, and they are likely to cross. This layer solidifies into a thin sheet that will help protect you from being bitten, even if there are cracks where the skin folds. This method was used by Native Americans and works against pests drawn to smell or those that bite. You may still be pestered, but most insects will not be able to bite through this layer. The Cherokees and Akokisa used bear fat and alligator fat, respectively, as their natural insect repellent. You may need to render the fat prior to usage. Sometimes the fat was combined with pine tar for an especially greasy concoction. Black Jack can often be collected around, and in, shrubs to burn as an insect killer and repellent. Ensuring moisture in plant fires produces large amounts of smoke, helping to deter the insects.

Occasionally, somebody you don't follow will tweet something, which will then be retweeted by somebody you do follow. You can recognize those by the gray "[Twitter user] retweeted" just above the tweet, along with a green retweet icon. Click or tap on the name of the user as it appears above the retweet. The button is just to the left of the blue "Following" button. Tap or click on the cog to see a drop-down menu of options. This will prevent you from seeing any future retweets that the user makes. You cannot delete retweets from others from your timeline, so your only recourse, should it become a problem, is to selectively turn off retweets from specific users. Also, there is no method for bulk blocking of retweets. You have to deal with each user individually. To reduce the clutter, visit the home page of the users that you follow. You will still see the user's original tweets. Note that this is not retroactive: all previous retweets will remain on your timeline.

Most girls really don't care if you're good or not, they just want someone to have fun with. Whether you're slow dancing or dancing to an upbeat song, try swaying or stepping left to right to the rhythm, and try not to be too stiff. For slow dancing, place your right hand on her left hip or on the small of her back and offer her your left hand at about shoulder level. As the leader, you can choose to either sway side to side or choose a "step touch" motion that follows the smooth beat of the music. If hand placements make you nervous during slow dancing, you can choose the "hug dance" instead. The male simply places both hands on his date's hips while her hands go about his neck. Foot movements should be kept the same. If you're nervous about moving to the beat of fast-paced songs, just remember to move to the beat. Shuffle your feet or step from side to side, relax your upper body so you can move your shoulders and head, and throw some arms into the mix too. Keep it clean and avoid dirty dancing. Remember to respect your date. If all else fails, dancing in groups is not only fun but it takes the pressure off of you. Popular group dances with choreographed moves like the "Cupid Shuffle" or "Copperhead Road" are always great fun for shy dancers. Remember that prom night isn't meant to be completely about romance. It's better to have several friends with you, aside from just your significant other. If you don't share the same group of friends, be sure to spend ample time with each group of friends, and not just your own. Even though your date may be head over heels into you, that doesn't mean that she doesn't want to share this magical night with her girl friends too. Remember to not monopolize her time or to get jealous when she chooses to dance with the girls and not you. Not everyone goes to prom with a date. Remember that it's okay to share your date with her dateless friends. Remember, to be flexible. If you opted to go to dinner with her friends, remember you will still see your buddies at prom or even after prom. You should both be willing to split your time evenly. Affection is act of showing someone you really care through small gestures that make them feel wanted and appreciated. It can be something as simple as holding her hand, hugging her unexpectedly, or even just smiling at her. When showing romantic affection (slow-dancing, kissing, etc.), make sure that the two of you are alone to make the moment special. Sometimes less is more when it comes to public displays of affection (PDA). Hand holding, hands around the waist, and closed-mouth kisses are fine in moderation. Avoid open-mouthed make out sessions, touching in private areas, licking or biting, and groping. By paying attention to your date, your let her know that she's your #1 priority. Put the phone away, listen to what she says, laugh at her jokes, and don't get sidetracked by other friends (or worse, other girls). Let her know that you enjoy her company by showing her that she is interesting and important. Eye contact is important when showing interest in a person. During conversation, make sure you are face-to-face and not looking at the dance floor, or your cellphone (even if you're nervous). Listen more than you speak. When you listen and take an interest in what your date is saying, you won't have to fish for something to talk about; the conversation will naturally evolve and you'll find yourself jumping in at the right time.

This process is called curing. Only cure the mold once you have added all of the layers necessary. When cured, the latex will be unable to bond with subsequent layers. It will also be more resilient to environmental things (water, air, etc.). The latex should be very durable and can be peeled right back inside-out. Then just pop it back to it's original shape. If you have an intricate object, you may have to pull and stretch some parts of the mold to release it. Be careful not to tear the mold or break your original object when separating the two. For most items, it is best to support the mold just under the flange so that it is suspended. Larger items may require extra support such as a wooden box to keep it in the proper shape when filled. You can also use a medium like sand to reinforce the mold all over. By placing your mold in sand, the weight of the casting material is supported evenly by the sand. This holds the mold in place and prevents stretching and deforming. Be careful not to get sand into your resin or plaster. Plaster of Paris is probably the easiest. It can be painted later. That said, polyester resin or similar polymers will reproduce very fine details in your item. Choose your casting medium to fit your needs.
