Problem: Article: Your boyfriend may have made plans for the prom before you started dating, or he may have no intention of going to the prom. If you want to go together, you need to ask him to make sure you're on the same page. It's a good idea to ask a few months in advance so you can come up with other plans if your boyfriend can't go with you. It may be that your boyfriend is already in the process of planning an elaborate promposal for you, in which case, you wouldn't want to ruin it by asking him first. Before you ask him, consider talking to his friends and/or family to find out if he has something in the works. Certain guys may have a problem with a girl asking a guy, so make sure to think about how he will feel. If you decide that asking your boyfriend to prom is the right decision for you, it's important to keep his individual preferences in mind. If your boyfriend is shy or easily embarrassed, you may not want to go over the top with a public promposal. If he loves attention, then don't be afraid to make it a big spectacle. It's important to keep your boyfriend's interests in mind when deciding how you will ask. Show him that you put a lot of thought into the invitation by incorporating something personal, If your boyfriend loves sports, think of a way to incorporate his favorite sport into your promposal. You could, for example, spell out your message with basketballs or baseball bats. If your boyfriend is a movie buff, consider incorporating a funny quote or picture from his favorite movie into your invitation. If your boyfriend belongs to the robotics club at your school, consider using a toy robot to deliver your invitation.
Summary: Don't assume you and your boyfriend are going together. Find out if he's planning something. Think about his preferences. Personalize your invitation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go with a 20USgal (76L) tank, which is big enough for plants and animals to thrive in, but not so big that it is a pain to clean. This amount of water actually requires less energy to maintain than smaller sized tanks! Although a tank under 10USgal (38L) might seem like it would take less effort, it's actually a lot of work keeping the water at the right chemical levels. The smaller the tank, the more quickly the quality of the water can change due to evaporation and waste. Research all fish you are considering buying and make sure they don't grow very large. Small fish are just as pretty and interesting as big ones, but they produce a lot less waste. Smaller animals are usually more active for their size and they have the added benefit of requiring less work to care for. Good examples of small fish for saltwater aquariums include goby, chromis, and certain types of clown fish. Small fish will have room to swim and stake out little territories comfortably in a 20USgal (76L) tank. They are better for a low-maintenance aquarium and for the environment. This is because in most cases they reproduce well in captivity or are plentiful in the wild. They tend not to die on the way out of the pet store and will not take a lot of extra care to keep alive. The reason that cheap fish, invertebrates, and corals are better for the environment is that they are usually bred instead of being taken from the wild. Taking these animals from the wild can cause environmental degradation. Generally this includes soft corals, which are like masses of little anemones without much of a sting. High-powered light consumes more energy than anything else in the aquarium. It also encourages the growth of microalgae and coralline algae, which are difficult to scrape off the sides of the tank. Some good items to choose include polyps, soft corals, leathers, and mushrooms. More light also produces heat, which can require a chiller to remove from the aquarium and more air conditioning to remove from the house. Make the aquarium colorful with a lot of macroalgae and soft corals and relatively few animals that move freely, such as fish and shrimp. If it doesn't move, it doesn't produce much waste, which will reduce the amount of cleaning you need to do. However, some hermit crabs and snails are worthwhile for eating microalgae and stirring the sand. A large amount of macroalgae, live rock, and live sand is a great bio-chemical filter.

SUMMARY: Purchase a medium-sized shallow tank. Buy fish that stay small to reduce waste in the water. Get cheap fish, invertebrates, corals, and macroalgae. Use corals that do not require a lot of light. Purchase just a few animals that move freely.

Some banks with REO commercial properties include the following: US Bank Wells Fargo BMO Harris This website has listings for bank owned commercial properties around the U.S. You can find them at http://www.loopnet.com/bank-owned-properties-for-sale/. Register for free to access the website's premium listings. The listings will state the size, price, and type of commercial property, such as street retail, office building, residential, and more. Look in your newspaper to find upcoming auctions. Banks always try to auction their REO properties before listing them for sale. Statistics show that most properties at auction are never bid on. Because of this, auctions are a good way to identify commercial properties that are soon to be on the market. An experienced commercial broker can find listings that are otherwise hidden from you. Find a broker by looking in your phonebook or asking another investor who they used when buying commercial real estate. Make sure whichever broker you hire has experience with commercial properties.
Summary: Identify the type of commercial property you want. Visit bank websites. Search the listings at Loopnet. Monitor local real estate auctions. Work with a real estate broker.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many synthetic wigs do not respond well to heat; some might melt when you're opening the lid of a hot oven or trying to blow-dry them. Before using any heated hair-styling tools on your wig, make sure to check its label. Look for phrases like "heat-friendly" or "heat-resistant." If there is none, you shouldn't risk burning your wig. Even if your wig is heat-friendly, opt for the lowest heat in order to avoid damaging your wig. If you set the flat iron too high, the wig might melt. Wait a few minutes until the iron is hot enough. Ideally the temperature of the flat iron shouldn't exceed 240 F (116 C). When the wig is on the mannequin head, use your hands to divide it into two layers: top and bottom. Use to clip to stabilize the top layer. Take a small section from the bottom, around 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width, and apply the iron from the roots to the ends. Once you're done with the bottom layer, take off the clip, and take a small section from the top layer. Apply the flat iron, using the same method as you did on the bottom layer. Continue until you covered every part of the wig. Don't hold the flat iron on one spot for longer than a few seconds, as overexposure to heat might harm the wig. During straightening, gently brush out the wig using a natural bristle brush. This will help make the strands look soft and shiny. If you don't have a straightener or want a softer feel, go for a hot-air brush. You can use it after lightly spraying the wig with detangler, fabric softener, or plain water. Move it down the wig slowly, letting the brush dry the fibers.
Summary:
Check if your wig can bear exposure to heat. Preheat your flat iron on the lowest temperature. Clip up the top layer of the wig, and straighten the bottom layer. Remove the clip, and iron the top layer. Use a natural bristle brush while heat-styling your wig. Use a hot-air brush on your wig for increased volume and softness. Finished.
