Problem: Article: There might be a word or two that you struggle to remember or can't quite say correctly. If that's the case, make sure you note it on your paper so that your brain spends that extra split-second focusing on the word. This can often help you tackle a particularly challenging word or phrase. You won't be able to get Off-Book in an hour or a day. The best thing you can do is give yourself tasks that you can accomplish. This also has the benefit of giving you a boost of confidence, and making line memorization enjoyable. For example, you could say "Today, I'm going to learn two pages of lines and then tomorrow I'm going to run through those lines again and do another two pages." Your movement on stage, or "blocking," determines where your character stands, when they sit, and how they physically interact with other characters. If a line or set of lines is really frustrating you, try acting out what your character is supposed to be doing during those lines as you say them. You might be tempted to recite your lines quickly and without inflection, saving the emotion for practice or real performances. However, saying your lines with emotion and inflection can actually help you memorize them in the first place, since this gives you deeper meaning behind the text. Listen to the recording while doing everyday activities like driving or taking a shower. If possible, speak along to the recording to help facilitate the memorization process. You can choose to record the whole play, or just your lines. If you record just your lines, make sure you also record the cue line! Apps like Line Learner and Lines2Memory can make the recording and playback process easier. Another strategy is to include a pause after each line so that you can say the lines back to your recording. For a more advanced version, put the pause before the line, and then listen to see if you got it right. Make sure you make your pause long enough for you to say the line! Friends can read along while you recite your lines and tell you if you got any wrong. If you forget a line, ask for a prompt by saying "line." Your friend should also correct you if you say a line wrong. This can be as drastic as skipping a line or sentence, or as minor as using "and" instead of "but." Make sure you don't get too dependent on your friends, or you might never memorize your lines!
Summary: Highlight important or difficult words. Set reasonable goals. Match your lines to your blocking. Make emotional associations while acting. Record your lines and play the recording during daily tasks. Ask a friend for help.

Problem: Article: If you can't get any fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice (not lemonade) instead; you will need 1 cups (350 milliliters) of bottled lemon juice. This will ensure that the lemonade is cold enough and doesn't melt the ice cream when you add it in later on. Save the rest of the lemonade for more servings or for another recipe. For best results, use good quality ice cream, and not the "frozen dessert" kind. Make sure that the ice cream is evenly mixed throughout the lemonade. There should be not streaks or swirls. At this point, you can use the rest of the chilled lemonade to made more frozen lemonade. Remember, you will need 4 scoops of ice cream for every cup (240 milliliters) of chilled lemonade. For an added touch, garnish the frozen lemonade with some whipped cream or a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Summary: Combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water in a pitcher, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Leave the lemonade in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill. Add 1 cup (240 milliliters) of the chilled lemonade and 4 scoops of ice cream into a blender. Blend the lemonade and ice cream together until completely smooth. Pour the frozen lemonade into 2 tall glasses and serve.

Problem: Article: Before you begin your foray into home brewing, get a notebook, and note down everything you dothe cleaning process, what strain of yeast, the amount and specific type of malt, what variety of hops, and any specialty grains or other ingredients used to produce your beer. This will allow you to reproduce any given brew, or provide a basis for experimentation and improvement.
Summary: Take notes.

Problem: Article: If you accept a call before you have a chance to realize that it's an automated message, get off the line right away. Don't say anything, don't press any buttons, just disconnect. Any type of response or interaction can signal to the caller that there's a living, breathing person on the other end of the line that is willing to accept their calls. If they think you're receptive, they'll redouble their efforts, and the problem will just get worse. Make a mental note of who's calling so you can report them later if need be. If you're on a landline that has Caller ID, go back and record the number so that you don't make the same mistake should they call back. Pay attention to the name of the person or business indicated in the message so that you can later put in a request for them to stop calling you. Also, think back on anything you might have put your phone number on that could become an issue down the line. Go back and tell these callers you don't wish to be contacted any further. It's a hassle, but it may be necessary to bring the madness to an end. In most cases, recurring calls won't stop until you get your number taken off the list. The Do Not Call Registry is an index of US phone numbers that are unlawful for sales-motivated entities to dial. It's free to register your cell number, household landline or both, and, best of all, it stays on there forever. This won't keep illegal scammers from trying to take advantage of you, but it will at least put a stop to above-board callers like department stores, doctor's offices and telemarketers once and for all. The Do Not Call Registry makes a great failsafe for those receiving automated calls on a landline or house phone. This service is run by the Federal Trade Commission, which can legally prosecute businesses who fail to heed the provisions it sets out. American citizens are protected under privacy laws created by the Federal Trade Commission. If you're being harassed by automated calls from unlisted numbers, or a company fails to stop calling you after you've asked them to, your next course of action is to file a formal complaint with the FTC. They'll issue a stern cease-and-desist to the sources of these robocalls, giving you the satisfaction of a hard-fought victory and some peace and quiet at last. It is technically against the law for businesses to send out robocalls to private cell numbers. Be ready to supply the FTC with the name or title of the caller, as well as the nature of the messages you've been receiving.
Summary:
Hang up immediately. Manually withdraw from known call lists. Sign up for the National "Do Not Call" Registry. Call the FTC.
