Article: This method is ideal for flat fish, such as flounder and sole. If you are working with a round-bodied fish, such as tuna or salmon, click here. Locate the head, and use your knife to make a shallow cut around it, just behind the gills. Cut the head from the body with a pair of scissors. Use the shallow cuts you made as a guideline. Some fish might even have a stripe going down the center of their body. Use this stripe as a guideline. Keep going over the slit until you reach the bones. When you reach the tail, cut a horizontal slit right across the tail, but do not cut the tail off. Try to get a flexible filleting knife for this. Gently score a line into the flesh to one side of the spine; keep the blade pointed towards the ribs. Once you can peel part of the flesh away, slide the knife down into the fish and begin cutting the fillet away from the ribs. Work your way from the head towards the tail. Try to keep the knife between the flesh and the ribs at all times. Pull the fillet away and set it aside. Rotate the fish, and make another cut down the center, to the other side of the spine. Saw the flesh away from the bones. When you are done, flip the fish over so that you can see its belly. Cut two more fillets, to either side of its spine. You will end up with four fillets. Turn the fillet so the thinnest side is facing you. Position the knife so that it is almost parallel to the cutting board, but at a slight downward angle. Carefully saw the flesh away from the skin. The fins should be left behind when you skin the fish, but if any remain on the fillet, you should cut them off. At this point, you can also discard the rest of the fish's body as well, including the head and spine. Gently massage the meat with your fingers to get rid of any excess blood and guts.

Article: Women often dance around a topic or express themselves in more subtle ways than men. Men, by comparison, are more likely to state their thoughts directly and promptly. Share whatever is on your mind in an unambiguous way. Don't drop hints about a problem or issue. Be direct and say exactly what you're thinking and feeling. Be honest with yourself as well as your partner. If you are interested in taking your relationship to the next level, let your partner know. Alternately, if you want to keep things casual, make sure you and your partner are on the same page. Men tend to speak less in private than in public. Try to build rapport with others by doing things rather than talking about things. Men are better than women at envisioning and remembering objects or new spaces. This is because male brains have a thinner parietal region (the area of the brain that processes visual information). Crafting a model, building a Lego kit, or playing a sport like soccer will help you think more spatially. You could also try drawing a map of a place you are familiar with. Men and women both worry, but women are more likely to continue worrying long after men have stopped. To think like a man, let go of small relationship issues, family matters, or troubles at the work place that you cannot solve. To worry less, set aside a designated time for your worries. Cut back on your internet surfing and try to get more exercise. You might also to find something that requires active engagement to distract you, like reading a book or painting a picture. While people like to feel desired, it's also good for them to know that their partner can care for themselves. Men are reared to act and think independently. Demonstrating that you can take care of yourself at work and in your social life will boost your self-confidence and let others know you are a capable, independent person. Financial security can go a long way to feeling independent and living an independent life. Women are often expected to provide only a supplementary income and focus on children while their male partner acts as primary breadwinner. Create a solid financial foundation for yourself to build an independent life. If your first instinct is to yell, weep, or storm out in a huff don't. Count patiently to ten and try to come at the conversation or problem a different way. Women have more brain circuitry devoted to expressing and remembering emotions, so tamping down on the emotional instinct is an important step to thinking like a man. Touch can express feelings in ways words often can't. Compared with women, men have more twice as much brain space allotted to sexual thoughts. Physical affection is a good way to make your intentions clear and show you love your partner. Women tend to fixate on and recall small moments that men do not. Things like fights, offhand comments, or potential slights go unnoticed or quickly forgotten by men. Try not to obsess over negative experiences, and be willing to let things go. Women are surrounded with pervasive messages that they need to look perfect. Men are not bombarded with the same kind of pressure to conform to a superficial standard of beauty, and tend to have better body image as a result. To think more like a man, learn to accept your appearance or body. Don't fret over your imperfections. Stand in front of the mirror with your feet apart and declare to yourself "I'm awesome." Do this every day until you believe it.

Communicate openly and honestly. Exercise your spatial skills. Don't worry, be happy. Prove your independence. Keep your emotions in check. Get physical in your romantic relationships. Let go of the details. Focus less on your appearance.
Article: In the location you've selected for your garden plot, use a small trowel or shovel to prepare your rows and hills, or small mounds of earth, for the gourd seedlings. If you're planting many gourds at once, make sure to follow the seed packet spacing directions strictly. Gourds typically need to be planted several feet away from each other in order to thrive. Keep your rows near your trellis if you're using one. Place each small seedling or seed into its own individual hill; don't group several in the same space. Cover up the seeds with inch of dirt, and cover seedlings to the base of the new growth. At planting, water the gourd seeds heavily so as to reduce the risk of transplant shock. Gourds like plenty of moisture, so make sure the soil is damp by adding water on a daily basis if necessary. Remove weeds as they sprout, as these will steal valuable nutrients and growing space from the gourds. If you're using a trellis, as the gourds grow in size you can use a bit of string to secure them to the posts and give them plenty of room for growth. Add a layer of mulch to the garden plot to lock in moisture and block out new weeds. Consider incorporating an equal-part fertilizer (like a 10-10-10 mixture) to the soil every few months. Give your gourds extra water when the weather is particularly dry or hot, to maintain a high level of moisture in the soil If you're growing ornamental gourds, it is common for growers to train them into interesting shapes and structures. There are two general ways to train the shape of a gourd: bending over time, and by giving it a mold. You can slowly bend parts of a gourd as it grows, if you want a winding snake-like gourd in the end. You can also create a mold for your gourd by placing the small fruit inside a breakable vessel of some sort (like a vase). When the gourd has grown, it will fill the container and match its shape; you simply have to break the mold to remove it when done.
