Article: Petanque is played with two teams. Decide which players will be on which team. There are three ways you can play: Doubles (2 players per team). Each player gets three boules. This is the most common way to play. Triples (3 players per team). Each player gets two boules. Singles (one against one). Each player gets three boules. Make sure they are the right material and size. Petanque boules should be metal, about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, and weigh 1.5 pounds (700g). You should also have one target ball, known as the "cochonnet" or "jack." The jack should be 1.25 inches (3 cm) in diameter. The circle should be about 20 inches (50 cm) in diameter. Whenever any player is playing they must stand in the circle, and both of their feet must be planted on the ground. One team calls heads or tails before the coin is tossed. If the coin lands on that side, that team goes first.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Split up into two teams. Pass out the boules to the members of each team. Draw a circle on the ground wherever you're playing the game. Flip a coin to see which team goes first.
Article: . Bid backhanded compliments and compliments that actually piss her off goodbye: you're going to become the king of the compliment. Focus on complimenting honestly and in the moment. Avoid compliments that could be for just about any girl or other cookie cutter compliments ("you have beautiful eyes", for example). Be specific, try to shoot for traits she values in herself, and try to only compliment things she has control over. For example, if you compliment her figure (which she has minimal control over and may someday lose), she'll become neurotic about what you think of any weight she gains because she thinks it's the only thing you value in her. Instead compliment her intelligence, her humor, her kindness, or her determination. Make her a homemade gift. You can find lots of ideas in wikiHow's crafting section or you can try your hand at Pinterest. Either way, a homemade gift shows your creativity and your deep feelings for her. If you want to try your hand at making her something, a keepsake box decoupaged with receipts, photos, and ticket stubs from your relationship together will probably bring her to tears. If you're absolutely no good with making things by hand, try your hand at making a mix CD instead. Gone are the days of the mix tape, but CDs and mp3s live on in their memory. Make a playlist that tells the story of your feelings for her, chronicling your first meeting and extending to today. Good songs include: Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time", Frankie Valli's "You're Just to Good to Be True", and the Beach Boys "God Only Knows". Send flowers to her so that they'll be delivered to her in class or while she's at work. A great show of affection like this, in front of lots of people, will really leave her floored. Skip roses in favor of a non-standard flower that reminds you of her. Take that standard back massage and then go the whole 9 yards. Get warm massage oils, candles, a great soundtrack, and really give her a full body rub down. She'll be melting and totally shocked at your devotion. Or, any meal will do, really. Cooking her a great meal, especially when you don't normally cook, not only reduces her stress but it will be one incredible unexpected surprise. You can find lots of cooking articles here on wikiHow that can show you step by step what to do (for the kitchen inept). Breakfast in bed often impresses. Make crepes with Nutella and bananas to really make her think you've gone gourmet. Try avocado pasta if you want a dinner option instead. This is easy to make, takes less than an hour to prepare, and can easily look gourmet when garnished with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh Parmesan. Get a pad of Post-It notes and write a quick love note on every single one. Then, place the notes everywhere! Hide a couple and put some out in clear view. You can put them in the kitchen cupboards, in the cereal box, on the bathroom mirror, in her purse, in the book on her nightstand, just about anywhere you can think of! Write things like "My life is better with you in it" and "My heart breaks when I say goodbye to you each day". Take her on a romantic date right there at home. Set up a camping tent in the living room, put a fire in the fireplace, and cook up some marshmallows and hotdogs. Turn off the lights, open all the windows so it gets really cold, and then snuggle up together under a blanket. Pure romance without all the hassle of real camping.

Article: Air purifiers filter the content and the stench of air, erasing the stink of tobacco smoke. This will help you conceal your smoking when indoors. The best air purifiers will have an activated carbon filter. This filter is specially attuned to remove the odor of smoke. If you're out and about but trying to not get caught smoking indoors, use a personal air filter. These portable devices filter your smoke, scrubbing its scent and toxins. Smoke clings to clothes, curtains, towels, and bedding. Remove these things regularly before they build up a heavy layer of smoke that could out you as an indoor smoker. Smoke particulate can mingle with regular dust and settle on your tables, TVs, and counters. Dust and wipe surfaces regularly to avoid accumulating telltale smoke scent. Don't forget to wipe down your mirrors and windows. Don't leave your cigarettes in the toilet or on top of an open trash can. Wrap your cigarette butts in a damp paper towel to ensure they don't accidentally ignite the trash can, then throw the whole bundle away. If you're indoors and head off on your own, have a good pretext. For instance, you might smoke when you're running documents to another part of your workplace. Smoke only during periods of time when you won't be missed. Smoking indoors when on your way to your lunch break, for instance, is a good option. If you're in a room with a fan or air conditioner, turn it on. The movement of air can disperse the smoke, making it harder for others to detect. This will reduce the likelihood you'll get caught.

Get an air purifier. Do the wash regularly. Dust your residence. Clean up your butts. Don't let anyone suspect you go to smoke. Turn the fan on.
