Q: Once your steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from its heat source and wrap it in aluminum foil. Let your steak sit for about 10 minutes so that it can reabsorb its juices. Then, remove the aluminum foil. Transport the steak to a cutting board and use a steak knife to cut off the bone if you have a bone-in ribeye steak. This bone should be located on the outside edge of the steak. The meat around the bone is typically eaten without utensils, while the rest of the steak you can cut into pieces and eat. The "grain" refers to the long muscle fibers within the steak that are parallel to each other. If you cut your steak in the direction of these muscle fibers, the steak might be too tough. Cut your pieces against the grain so that the steak is as tender as possible. You can slice your steak as thin or thick as you prefer, but if you aren't sure where to start, try cutting it into 12 inch (1.3cm) slices.
A: Wrap the steak in foil and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Cut the steak off of the bone if necessary. Slice against the grain.

Q: Because potatoes that are exposed to sunlight will produce solanine, it's important to hill the potatoes. To do this, wait until the plants reach about 6 inches (15 cm), and then add an extra 2 inches (5 cm) of soil to the cage. Continue hilling the potatoes whenever the plants grow an additional 6 inches (15 cm). New potatoes are ones that are harvested before they're fully mature. New potatoes are ready for harvest after the plant stops flowering. Mature potatoes are ones that are left to fully develop, and they'll be ready to harvest after the foliage dies back and turns brown. For new potatoes, harvest after the last of the flowers die. For mature potatoes, wait an additional two to three weeks after the foliage dies before harvesting. When your potatoes are ready for harvest, lay a tarp on the ground beside the cage. Use scissors to cut the twine or zip ties holding the cage together. Gently push the cage over onto the tarp to spill the soil and potatoes. Dig through the soil to retrieve all the potatoes that have grown. When you've harvested the potatoes, brush off the wire mesh and store it somewhere dry. You can reuse the mesh to make another cage. To extend the shelf life of your potatoes, it's important to cure them, which means allowing the skins to toughen. Move the potatoes to a cool, dry, and ventilated location to cure for 10 to 14 days. New potatoes shouldn't be cured, as they should be eaten within a few days of the harvest. Brush the dirt from your cured potatoes with a cloth or soft brush. Fill paper or burlap bags with the cleaned potatoes, and transfer them to a dry, cool, and dark place, such as a root cellar, for long-term storage.
A: Hill the soil around the growing plants. Decide if you want new or mature potatoes. Take the cage apart to harvest the potatoes. Cure mature potatoes before storing. Store your extra potatoes.

Q: Online diamond sellers can provide a wide selection often at competitive prices. However, it's unlikely you'll be able to inspect the diamond before purchasing, which in some cases can lead to diamonds of unsuitable quality being purchased. For this reason, you should prioritize stores you can visit in person. If you do decide to go with an online diamond retailer, make sure the seller is well established and has a good reputation. You'll also want to check that any online diamond seller you are considering sells diamonds from a certified diamond authority. To evaluate online sellers, you may want to us a diamond report, like the Rapaport Diamond Report, the Troy Diamond Report, Ajediam Antwerp Diamonds Monthly, and the Gem Guide. Franchise diamond sellers are oftentimes held to corporate policies that make it more difficult to bargain. Smaller, family owned stores will likely be more willing to budge where price is concerned, or may throw in extras, like free polishing or a deal on insurance. As with most products, popular brands will likely be more expensive than others. Two diamonds could be extremely similar except for the name attached to them, and this may be the only factor making one diamond ring more expensive than another. Some stores may specialize in certain kinds of diamonds. In some cases, certain diamond rings may be one of a kind or only available at some stores and not others. To get the most extensive selection, you'll need to visit several diamond retailers. You should also ask about the ability of a potential diamond seller to accommodate special requests. For example, you may want to use a combination of metals in the band to cut down costs. Some stores might not have the facilities to do this. the final cost, if appropriate. As previously mentioned, franchise sellers may be held to rigid corporate policies that make it difficult to bargain, and upscale diamond sellers might consider it in poor taste. However, even stores that adhere strictly to no bargaining policies still might offer other freebies to get your sale. If you're shopping for a diamond ring with your partner, be wary of diamond sellers trying to convince you to spend more on a ring by upselling your partner. Stick to your budget even when a "special" deal is offered. Specials are often a gimmick to increase sales. If you miss a sale, inquire if its still available after the fact. Many times these kind of sales will still be available. Don't let an emotional or pushy salespeople deter you from asking questions or taking your time. A diamond ring is a major purchase, and you should take your time so you end up with the right ring for you.
A: Prioritize physical stores over online sellers. Purchase from mom-and-pop shops for better bargaining. Avoid designer fads and names. Shop around before purchasing. Negotiate

Q: In 1969, Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross published a book called "Death and Dying" about her work with terminally ill patients. She developed a model for what she called the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Everyone grieves differently, and these stages do not necessarily unfold in a set orderbut the model may give you perspective on your own process. The first reaction to learning of the death of a loved one is to deny the reality of the situation. It is a normal reaction to rationalize overwhelming emotions; indeed, denial is a defense mechanism that dulls the immediate shock. This carries you through the first wave of pain and bewilderment. As the masking effects of denial begin to wear down, you may be flooded by the painful reality of the situation. If you aren't ready for this pain, you may subconsciously deflect it toward others: friends, family, strangers, or inanimate objects. Try to maintain perspective and recognize this deflection. You can't help what you feel, but you choose whether or not to let these feelings control you. Many people react to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability by attempting to regain control. In terminal patients, this often takes the form of desperate measures to cling to life. In mourning, this often manifests as rumination: If only I had been there for her... If only we had gotten to the hospital sooner... If only, if only, if only. When the desperate bargaining subsides, you may be unable to avoid the reality of the situation. You may worry about the cost of the burial or feel an acute sense of regret. You may feel empty, sad, alone; you may despair at ever moving on with your life. This is part of the healing process. Take your time. The final stage of grief unfolds as you begin to move on. This stage is characterized by withdrawal and calm. Accept that your loved one has moved on, and acknowledge that you, too, must move on. Embrace the present as the new reality, and come to terms with the permanence of what has happened. Acceptance does not happen overnight. It does not necessarily mean that you are happyonly that you have moved beyond the denial, the anger, the bargaining, and the depression. Just like a forest that has burned slowly heals, sprouts, and blooms again, your life will bloom again with new hope. Give it time.
A:
Consider the five stages of grief. Identify the denial phase. Recognize the anger phase. Be aware of the bargaining phase. Ride out the depression phase. Accept the situation.
