at the base of your wine bottle. Use a diamond drill bit designed specifically for glass. Make sure the drill bit is larger than the cord on the string lights you'll be using. Lay your wine bottle on a flat surface over a towel so it's steady. Slowly drill down into the base of the wine bottle (on the side, not the bottom of the bottle). As you're drilling, spray water from a spray bottle onto the drill bit to lubricate it. Ask someone to help you with this part. One of you can drill the hole while the other sprays the drill bit with water. Rinse directly over the hole you drilled to wash away any small pieces of glass around the hole. Let the bottle dry completely. Make sure you use string lights that have a plug on only one side or they won't fit through the hole. Slide the end without a plug through the hole and keep feeding the cord through until all the lights are inside the bottle. Bend a metal coat hanger so there's a hook at the end. Slide the hook down through the neck of the bottle and use it to grab part of the string lights. Carefully pull the lights up through the neck of the bottle. Stop once the lights reach the mouthpiece and unhook the coat hanger from the cord. Pull up 2 or 3 sections of the lights so they are firmly packed in the neck of the bottle. This will prevent them from sliding back down into the base.

Summary: Drill a hole Remove the piece of glass you drilled out and rinse the bottle with water. Feed the string lights through the hole in the bottle. Use a bent coat hanger to pull some of the lights up the neck of the bottle.

A variety of different materials can be used to make art and each of these materials will create a different visual effect. For example, sculptors can use stone, marble, wire or wood to create their art. Similarly, painters can use watercolours, oil, chalk, and pencil. When you are looking at art, comment on the materials or medium used to create the image. If you can't identify them, look at the label. In order to sound knowledgeable while discussing art, learn to identify the style of art. For example, some common and recognizable styles include abstract, realist, expressionist, surrealist, or impressionist. A piece of art that uses realism can be easily identified because the artist attempts to create an image that looks real, almost like a photograph. Alternatively, an abstract piece of art does not attempt to mimic reality and instead, can include random splatters of paint or lines to create a thought provoking image. Familiarize yourself with the different styles by searching online for images of the different styles of art. For example, search for "impressionist images." Visit museums, which often group art by style. You may find yourself in a room of surrealist paintings, for instance. The style of art can also be described by looking at the content of the image. For example, learn the differences between portraits (image of a person), landscapes (image of a place), or still life (image of an object) works of art. It is also a good idea to know some descriptive words that you can use while describing art. You can use them to describe the mood of the painting, as you perceive it: Dynamic Intimate Suggestive Challenging You may have heard of renaissance art, modern art, or cubism before. These are a few different time periods and movements within art history. To talk about a work of art, check its time period. Consider how the historic moment impacted the way that art was created. Consider the movements that were happening at that time. For example, Cubism was a type of modern art that was developed in the early twentieth century. Artists, such as Picasso, departed from the romantic and realistic artwork of the late nineteenth century and began creating more abstract images. Think about any major world events, such as war, that may be reflected in the piece. Consider what was taboo at the time and place the art was made. Works that may not seem shocking now might have been, then, or vice versa.

Summary: Talk about the materials used. Identify the style of art. Consider the content. Familiarize yourself with common descriptive terms. Check the time period of the piece.

If you are able to locate a discounted laptop computer, you may get closer to your goal by slashing the amount of money that needs to be financed in the purchase. Spend some time searching for a good deal. Look at stores online, newspaper advertisements, and in-store deals. Consider what features you actually need versus what you could eliminate as just a luxury. In some cases, family members or others can help out, for example, when a student needs a computer for school but can't pay all of the money up front. Informal lending can often offer lower interest than a formal lender would accommodate, with less of the red tape that goes into a personal loan from a bank. Ask your parents or a close family member or friend if they'll consider loaning you the money or purchasing the laptop for you. Let them know what your plan is to pay them back, how you expect to come up with the money, and how long you think it will take you to repay the loan. A buyback program can work for those who want the newest kinds of computers and devices but can't afford to pay for them up front. The idea is that you purchase an older laptop up front, and use it until you build up additional cash, and trade it in for a newer model. This can sometimes alleviate the obstacles from a poor credit score that prevent conventional financing for your computer purchase. Some companies are willing to finance laptops without doing a credit check. The borrower may need to pay additional money in the form of higher interest, and provide more of a down payment, but some of these deals can work out if you just need to finance a specific portion of a laptop purchase. Instead of checking your credit, these lenders usually have a few alternative requirements of their own. This can include things like being employed for at least six months, maintaining an active checking account for a period of time, and not overdrafting your account.

Summary: Find the laptop that best matches your budget. Look at informal lending options. Consider a buyback laptop program. Consider a "no credit check" laptop deal.

You should type up the purchase and sale agreement so that it is legible. You don't want the other side to claim that you hid information using small fonts, so set the font to a readable size and style. Times New Roman 12 point works for many people. If you are going to use your sale and purchase agreement more than once, then set it up as a template. Include blank lines for information that will change from contract to contract, such as the name of the purchaser and the purchase price. At the top of the page, you should center the title between the left- and right-hand margins. Title your document something like "Purchase and Sale Agreement" or "Agreement to Purchase Real Estate." You need to identify the purchaser and the seller at the start of your agreement. You could include blank lines for their names or insert a brief paragraph like the following: "[Insert the name of purchaser] ('Purchaser'), offers and agrees to purchase from [insert the name of seller] ('Seller'), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the property legally described as [insert legal description]." You need to accurately describe the property in your agreement, so find the legal description of property, which is on the deed. You can get a copy of the deed at your county's Recorder of Deeds office. See Get a Legal Description of Property for more information.
Summary: Format the document. Insert a title. Identify the parties to the sale. Add the legal description of property.
