INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you picked up your driftwood from a natural location, such as a lake, you might see particles of dirt sticking to the wood's surface. Grab the piece by the end and give it a good shake. Perhaps tap it gently on the ground a few times to loosen any additional grains. This also helps to remove any pests, like ants, from the wood. If you are working with 'outside' wood then you may need to get more serious about removing the grime. Grab a sturdy brush and scrub the wood. Try to go over as much of the surface area as you can. You may want to repeat the scrubbing process after the soaking the wood as well. If you plan to use the driftwood for a craft or furniture project, you may want to carefully consider your choice of brush. A soft-bristle brush will not scratch the wood whereas a wire brush will clean more effectively but can also leave scrub marks behind. It is generally a good idea to scrub with the grain. A wire brush is a good option if you need to remove bark. Driftwood often contains small nooks that are hard to fully clean. Use a screwdriver or knife to dig into these areas. Carefully apply pressure so that you don't splinter the wood. If you want a gentler method, push into crevices using the edge of a slightly damp toothbrush. This is especially effective at removing sand. You can also use an air compressor to shoot concentrated bursts of air into deeper holes. This is less damaging then picking and often equally effective. Removing the outer layer of the wood is one way to get it clean. Use a garnet sandpaper with a light grit. This type of sandpaper works well with handcrafted projects and will not overly scratch the wood. If you want to dig deeper into the wood (perhaps in a rotten area), upgrade to a higher grit. If you are unsure about what your driftwood project requires, go to your local home improvement store to feel your various sandpaper options firsthand. No one wants driftwood that is infested by insects. Shaking it off will remove some pests, but to get extra reassurance seal your driftwood in a plastic bag and leave it for a few days. Check back for evidence of dead bugs. A more aggressive way to kill off insects is to spray an insecticide into the bag before sealing it. Be warned that the chemical residue from this method could prove potentially fatal to fish if the wood is intended for an aquarium. This is best used in crafting or woodworking situations.

SUMMARY: Shake it. Scrub it. Pick at it. Rub it with sandpaper. Kill off any bugs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You should eat three meals per day one when you wake, another towards the middle of the day, and another in the mid-to-late evening. Missing a meal or consuming fewer carbs than your body requires could cause your blood sugar to crash. If you miss a meal or cannot eat a meal, grab a snack like popcorn, trail mix, or a banana. Exercise takes a lot of energy, and your blood sugar typically declines after an intense workout. Consume a source of carbs within three hours of your workout, but not within the hour prior to your planned workout. After you're done working out, have a source of protein and carbs (a protein smoothie, for instance) within 20 minutes to prevent low blood sugar. If you have diabetes, check your blood sugar regularly, as directed by your doctor. You can do this using a blood sugar monitoring device. If you do not have a blood sugar monitoring device, consult your doctor for a recommendation regarding the most reliable such device available. Follow manufacturer directions to use the blood sugar monitoring device. When you notice signs of low blood sugar, it is important to address it as quickly as possible. You should consume about 15 grams of glucose or simple carbohydrates. Wait 15 minutes, then check your blood sugar again. If you are still hypoglycemic, eat another 15 grams. If your next meal is more than an hour or two away, eat a small snack once your blood sugar has returned to normal. Try the following sources of simple carbohydrates: 4 ounces of juice or soda (not diet) 1 tablespoon sugar, honey, or corn syrup 8 ounces of nonfat or 1% milk Glucose tablets or gel (follow package instructions). If your family and friends know you have diabetes, they will be able to help you spot low blood sugar warning signs. By catching your low blood sugar levels early, you could avoid more serious complications associated with low blood sugar. Wear a medical ID bracelet that identifies your condition and carry a medical ID card as well. If you are in an emergency situation and unable to communicate (such as if you fall unconscious), this information can help the emergency medical staff determine treatment.
Summary: Eat regularly. Eat before and after workouts. Check your blood sugar. Treat low blood sugar promptly. Let your family know of your condition.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pick a wall that allows the whole room to see the TV and will provide the best picture quality and won't be affected by sunlight coming in from windows. You also need to consider the position of the furniture in the room and what direction they face. Because you need to screw holes into the wall to mount your LCD TV, be sure of your placement before you begin mounting it! In a living room, the center of the wall across from the main entranceway allows for a wider viewing angle. Place your TV on the wall where it's most likely to be at eye level when you're viewing it. If you plan to mostly watch it while sitting on the sofa you'll want to place it lower than you would if you plan to mostly watch it while standing or at a bar. Use a ruler or tape measure to measure from the floor to the best height to put the TV at eye level and lightly mark the height with a pencil. Placing your TV with the center at 42 inches (110cm) off the ground will put the screen at eye level with the average adult sitting down. If you plan to view the TV more often while standing, then mount it with the center of the TV 53 inches (130cm) from the ground. Mount the TV as close to eye level as possible if there's an obstruction such as an existing appliance or piece of furniture. The cables and wires of your TV and any devices you plan to connect to it can be unsightly. When you're picking a place to mount your TV, think about how difficult it will be for you to conceal them to help inform your decision. Centering the TV on a bare wall in the center of the room may make it difficult for you to hide the wires. Use furniture placement to help conceal the wires. You need to have a clear area to work in when you're mounting your LCD TV. Slide over any chairs, tables, or sofas so you can access the wall easily. Take down any paintings, pictures, or decor so they're out of your way. Gently place the items that were hanging on the wall nearby so you don't crack or break them. Take down anything hanging on the wall so they can't wobble, shake, or potentially fall when you're drilling into the wall.
Summary:
Choose a wall where you want to place your TV. Position your TV so it's at eye level. Select a location that allows you to conceal wires and devices. Move any furniture, pictures, or decor from the area.
