INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do not attempt to refill a compressed canister on your own. Take it to a filling station where a trained professional can fill it for you. Gas canisters can explode or leak if they are filled improperly. If you are using a canister for diving, check out your local diving shop or school. These usually keep a technician on hand to refill diving cylinders. Look for hiking or nature shops near high altitude mountains if you need tanks for mountaineering. If you are using oxygen for home therapy, search for a company that delivers refilled oxygen tanks to your home. Schedule these deliveries on a weekly or monthly basis. When you first start oxygen therapy, your doctor will likely suggest an oxygen company. If they do not, call them and ask for a referral. Some insurance companies may require you to use a certain oxygen provider. Call your insurance agent to learn what your options are. Not all compressed gas canisters can be filled more than once. These canisters can leak or explode if refilled. In these cases, buy a new canister of oxygen from an oxygen supplier instead of trying to refill it. Look at the label on the top of the canister or in the manufacturer's manual to see if you can refill your canister or not. Refillable gas canisters will often be made of steel or aluminum. Their walls will be 14 inch (0.64cm) thick or thicker.

SUMMARY: Take tanks for recreational activities to a filling station. Hire an oxygen company to deliver refills. Buy a new gas canister if yours cannot be refilled.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't respond to any text messages that do not directly relate to a family get-together, positive messages or something else perfectly normal. If you are getting texts that spell out her outrage about things that have happened to her, her annoyance at something you've apparently done or to send you gossip about family or friends, let it slide and leave her wondering. If you feel angry and want to send back a retort, reprimand or justification straight away, don't do it. Treat your anger or irritation as a warning sign to sleep on the matter. Furious texting or messaging can only end in more angst on both sides. If your S-I-L is truly a pain and a bit of a drama queen, it's possible that her social networking reflects her attention-seeking ways. You can be all too easily drawn into a web of her anger and drama venting if you can see her Facebook updates or her latest tweets. If she friends you, you can do one of several things. One, simply ignore the request. When she asks you about it, tell her that you don't use social media much to exchange important things (or at all); or Two, reply to her with a "Thanks but no thanks, I am not accepting new requests at the moment due to busyness/privacy/overloading, etc." You might also add something like, "Besides, we see each other often and I prefer we talk face-to-face"; or Three, turn all of your settings to private so that she can't see who you are friends with. Either say nothing or tell her either that you stopped using social media or that you only have a tight knit circle of followers and don't wish to extend it at the moment. If you say you didn't receive any request, she'll only resend it, but it might buy enough time to throw her off the whole idea if you offer to "look into it" but let the "looking into it" drag on and refuse to raise the matter again); or Four, offer her a more neutral alternative. Offer to friend her on Pinterest and focus solely on a shared craft or cooking board. Nothing racy or mean spirited, of course. Try to avoid using the terminology of "friends" when discussing any refusal to accept her request. Unfortunately, the usage of this term by social media sites has caused many people to take it at face value; many people are simply followers or fans, not friends. She might feel devalued if you make any suggestion that she is being rejected as a "friend". If she is already a follower of one or more of your networking sites, you might consider blocking her and turning your pages private on some sites. Most probably you will need to explain what has happened (with a sound excuse); if she's a drama queen, she'll not only notice but she'll take offense too. If she acts abusively, it is recommended that you keep records to show your spouse and other family members if needed. Save messages, emails, voice-mails, etc. Some drama queens like to "attack" when nobody else can see, thinking you won't have the courage to out them. This isn't about deliberately looking for dirt but it is a way of protecting yourself if anything should get out of hand. However, this is truly the stuff of last resortif you handle yourself deftly in public situations around your S-I-L, everyone will know for real who is behaving and who is stirring the pot.

SUMMARY: Avoid answering what isn't worthy of a response. Keep social media networking to a minimum with your sister-in-law if she sets off your buttons. Take care if you do soldier on and try to be her friend online and/or through the phone.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Almond trees, which are native to the hot and arid climate of the Middle East and South Asia, do best with hot summers and mild winters and do not adapt to other conditions especially well. Almonds do not usually grow at all in colder climates. Unless you have a large, carefully-controlled indoor growing setup, you may have a hard time growing almonds outside of areas with a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern climate profile. If you're in the US, a good way of determining whether your local climate is suitable for growing almonds is to use a USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. These maps rate geographical areas by their minimum temperatures, giving an approximate indication of the types of plants that can survive there. For almonds, you'll want your area to have a rating of at least "6" higher is better. According to this system, suitable areas in the US include much of central and southern California as well as parts of Arizona, Texas, and inland Florida. You have two options for starting your almond tree you can either use seeds (fresh, unprocessed nuts) or seedlings (young trees). Nuts allow you to experience the growing process from the very beginning, but can be more time and effort-intensive. On the other hand, seedlings are more convenient, but can be a little more expensive. If you want to harvest edible almonds, you'll want to be sure to pick seeds or seedlings for a fruit-bearing sweet almond tree. Keep in mind that bitter almonds are inedible and that not all sweet almond trees bear fruit. These varieties are only suitable for shade and decoration. Talk to the staff at your local garden supply store if you're unsure of which almond trees are productive. Almond trees do well with lots of sun. Before you get started, find a spot in your yard or garden that gets plenty of full, direct sun, free from shade. You will grow the almond tree in a pot prior to planting it in the ground, but it's still important to choose a location ahead of time the tree will only fit in the pot for so long. You'll also want to make sure your growing spot has well-draining soil. Almond trees don't do well if water is allowed to pool around their roots this can lead to root rot.

SUMMARY:
Make sure your area has proper almond growing conditions. Purchase seeds or seedlings. Choose a sunny location for the tree.
