Problem: Article: If you have acrobatics in your routine, this is the time to use them. Stretch, work on cardio and warm up your stunts beforehand, but don't practice too much - you may hurt yourself before the division even starts. There are often breaks between divisions, you may want to repeat this before each division. Be sure to practice blocking and scoring combinations at your dojo or on a punching bag beforehand. If you keep dropping your weapon or can't land stunts, don't let that make you nervous. Simply look for openings, block their combos, and do what you were trained to do.
Summary: Warm up. Don't let your opponent intimidate you.

Problem: Article: If you want your cherries on the super-tart side, add less sugar. You can also use a sugar substitute (like Splenda), honey, or agave syrup. To get the cherry pits out, score them along their sides with a knife. You may be able to pop the pits right out -- or just take a butter knife and wedge them out if they're being difficult. The cherries need time to soak up the sweetness of the sugar. It'll be so tangy that you'll need the water to dilute it later. You're looking for one mostly uniform consistency (the cherry chunks will keep it from being entirely uniform). Then reduce the heat and simmer for fifteen minutes. It should maintain a light bubble the entire time, reducing the liquid and turning almost syrupy. Squeeze all the moisture from the cherries into a separate saucepan. Don't just strain it -- really squeeze out all the juices. You're finished with the cherries; you can throw them away. Or keep them for a topping or a preserve! Then take the pan off, let it cool to room temperature and move it to a sealed vessel for storage in a refrigerator. That's it! The consistency is right; this is basically tart cherry juice concentrate. It's not supposed to be like juice -- it should be much thicker. Sparkling water (or even just water) works, too. Feel free to experiment with the ratio to find your personal taste. It may take a try or two -- but once you find the right combination, it'll be easy. Keep the rest in a resealable container to save for later. It'll keep for a couple weeks if kept tight and in the refrigerator.
Summary: Put the clean, seedless cherries and sugar in a saucepan. Cover the pan and leave at room temperature for 2 hours. Add the 1/2 US-pint (950ml) of water and stir until all the sugar dissolves. Bring the contents up to a boil. When finished, strain the mixture. Simmer the strained liquid until it thickens like maple syrup. To serve this drink, put one or two spoons of it into a glass of soda water.

Problem: Article: Beat for about 2 minutes. Pour in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend slowly until properly combined. Slice the cookie into pieces. Top with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
Summary: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Cream the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces. Flatten and spread the cookie dough on the cookie sheet. Bake the cookie in the oven for about 17-19 minutes. Allow the cookie to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve.

Problem: Article: Have a tent with a rain fly that overhangs it so that rainwater drips off the sides. The tent's entrance should form a lip, like a bathtub, so the floor isn't entirely flat. Good rain tents are also treated with waterproofing polyurethane or another product. Getting a tent with a vestibule is also helpful. The vestibule can be used to air out damp clothing so you don't drag water into the rest of the tent. Read the labels carefully to make sure the tent has these features. Order a seam sealer online and let it dry over any loose seams. Then pick up a waterproof spray wherever camping gear is sold and spray the entire tent. Many store-bought tents aren't completely sealed and should be treated this way. You can test a tent for leaks by either spraying the tent with a hose or holding parts of the tent underwater while looking for bubbles or leaks. Take a look around your campsite before you set up the tent. Pick a spot that's elevated, away from any slopes or hills. Avoid camping under heavy tree branches that could fall in a storm. Also, look around for any signs of previous flooding, such as narrow canyons and valleys. Stay aware of your surroundings. Avoid those narrow areas and also be aware of the water levels of nearby rivers. Avoid camping at the highest geographical point when there's lightning. Hoist the tarp over your tent on poles or by tying rope between trees. Make sure the tarp is angled so the rainwater runs off the sides, away from your tent. If you have to pitch a tent in the rain, put up a tarp first to protect your camping spot. You can bring multiple tarps and set them up over other areas, such as a dining area, too. Then you won't be stuck in your tent during the storm. Lay the groundsheet inside your tent on the floor. Avoid placing it outside, under the tent, since water can get on top of it. Also make sure the ends aren't sticking out and letting rain slide into your dry space. You may also lay a second tarp near the tent's entrance to use as a doormat and storage spot for wet clothing. Newer models of tents don't leak and digging damages the campsite. It should only be attempted if your campsite is gravel or sand. You can then dig a small moat all the way around your tent to protect it like a castle. If you have to dig in dirt, dig a very shallow ditch and slope it so the water runs away from your tent. Open up your door and any ventilation features in your tent that aren't at risk of letting water in. Living in your tent causes moisture from your breath to condense, in addition to any water you bring in from the outside, so ventilation is important.
Summary:
Bring a waterproofed tent when you know it'll rain. Seal an old tent's seams with a waterproof coating. Set up the tent on high ground. Place a tarp over the tent. Place a ground tarp inside your tent. Avoid digging ditches around the tent. Ventilate your tent to avoid water build-up.
