INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Traffic in San Francisco can be pretty bad at peak times, so try to plan your departure around it. To do that, you'll want to leave very early - around 6:00 am - or later, between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. There might be traffic on the weekends as well, but it will be harder to predict. Check for real-time traffic reports online or tune into a TV or radio station report for an update before you leave. This will tell you exactly how to get onto the Golden Gate Bridge and which exit to take to get to your specific hotel or winery in Napa. You can also ask a friend or hotel concierge for specific directions. Use an app that contains traffic information so that you can avoid major backups. The easiest way to drive from San Francisco to Napa is also one of the most scenic. You'll get to take the US 101 freeway across the famous Golden Gate Bridge, enjoying beautiful views across the San Francisco Bay. Try to avoid taking the bridge from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, which is when traffic gets the most congested. Use Exit 460A and follow signs for Napa/Vallejo. Hwy 121 will turn into Hwy 12, skirting the southern edge of Sonoma. Continue until it forks, taking the Hwy 121 exit. And continuing north towards Napa. Hwy 29 travels straight along the four main towns in Napa. Take the turn-off for the town you're visiting or staying in and enjoy your day in Napa!

SUMMARY: Leave before or after rush hour on a weekday. Plot out your trip on a map or GPS device. Take the Golden Gate Bridge north. Connect from US Hwy 101 to CA Hwy 37 East. Continue east on Hwy 37 until turning off on CA Hwy 121. Turn left onto CA Hwy 29 to arrive in Napa Valley.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Combine 2 cups (500 ml) cooked freekeh with 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil and 1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice. Toss well to evenly coat all the grains in the oil and lemon juice. Before starting this recipe, the freekeh should already be cooked using the microwave or stovetop method described in this article. Make sure that it is drained well and somewhat cooled so that it is no longer steaming hot. You will need about 1 cup (250 ml) uncooked freekeh for this recipe. Add the chopped parsley, mint, basil, and green onions to the freekeh. Use a mixing spoon to stir these ingredients in, distributing them evenly throughout the dish. Combine the tomatoes with the freekeh and other ingredients in your mixing bowl. Toss well to mix. At this point, you should also season the tabouleh with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well after your initial addition, taste, and add more as needed. You can add more herbs if desired, as well. Loosely cover the dish and let it sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. This step will cause the flavors to combine better. It will also give the salad a chance to cool to room temperature. If you want this dish to be served cold, you can also let it stand in the refrigerator. Spoon servings into individual serving dishes and enjoy. Add more salt and pepper, if desired.

SUMMARY: Toss the cooked freekeh with oil and lemon juice. Stir in the herbs and green onion. Add the tomatoes. Let stand. Serve.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cables used in installing landscape lighting is typically buried underground. The cable runs from the transformer to each light fixture to give them power. Low Voltage electrical cable comes in several gauges (12, 14, 16 are the most common). The lower the gauge number is, the thicker the wire will be. Thicker wires have higher capacities for voltage. Transformers usually have a recommended gauge of wire to use with their system based on the amount of power the transformer can tolerate. Check with the manufacturer of your specific transformer to determine which gauge to use. Low voltage lighting can include several different types of lighting. It is important to choose the type that works best for your project. Accent fixtures are the smaller, less obvious types of lights that include floodlights, spotlights, etc. Usually, this type of lighting is used to illuminate trees, plants, flowerbeds, ponds, and other features in your landscape. Pathway lighting (as the name implies) is designed to illuminate pathways. They are often more decorative than accent fixtures as they are designed to be seen. You can use them to line your driveway, to light up the walkway to your front door, or to shine some light on a pathway in your backyard. There are several different ways to design the way the cables run from the transformer to the fixtures. The design you choose depends on the outcome you want. You can wire the lights in a straight run from the transformer. This means that there is a single length of wire running from the transformer to each of the lights in sequence. Another option is to wire the lights in a loop, with the wire returning to the transformer. This helps reduce the power dropping off at long distances from the transformer, which keeps distant lights from dimming. You can also install multiple straight runs from the same transformer. Keeping the lights closer to the transformer will help eliminate the voltage drop that occurs when lights are further away.

SUMMARY: Consider what kind of electric cable to use. Choose your lights. Choose the design of your lighting method.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you had someone break up with you, one of your first thoughts might be that of revenge, especially if you didn't see the breakup coming. You may think that getting revenge on the person who broke up with you might make you feel better, or at the very least give you a sense of justice, but it won't. Revenge will just end up making you feel worse. Don't make any decisions after a break up until you are calm and rational. Give yourself time to heal before you 'do' anything. You most likely want revenge because you feel your trust has been broken, but getting revenge is not going to help to restore any of that trust. Whether you were the one who initiated the break-up, or someone broke up with you, you need to let go of any regret you may harbour. If someone broke up with you, you likely had little or no control over the event, so it is a waste of your time to dwell on what might have been. If you broke up with someone, you probably had a good reason. Remind yourself of that good reason when you start to feel regretful in order to demonstrate to yourself why you shouldn't be upset you broke up with someone. Regardless of what happened, take the time to look at what weaknesses you might have that lead to the breakup. Whether you discover weaknesses or mistakes, realize that this is your change you learn from them. How can you do things differently in the future? Focus on things you can control and change. Try not to worry about the things out of your control. Whether you broke up with someone, or someone broke up with you, it is really easy to think of all the negative things that came from the breakup things like feeling depressed and lonely. Try not to focus on these negative things, instead look at all the good and positive things that can (or have) come from the breakup. Write your feelings in a journal. Write specifically about the positive things that have happened because of the breakup. These positive things might be things you learned while in the relationship, or they may be the good reasons why the breakup was necessary. They can also include the positive outcomes that have resulted because of the breakup. Before you started to date this person you probably had a routine that you followed regularly. That routine was probably dropped or changed once you started dating. Now that you no longer have anyone else to worry about, get back into your routine. Start up your normal exercise routine again. Get back into the shape you were before the relationship. Spend more time working on extra work or home projects, anything you put aside during your relationship because you had no time. Plan and cook healthy meals regularly. Schedule and attend any missed or delayed appointments such as the dentist or the eye doctor. When in a relationship you always have two people on the top of your priority list you and your partner. Now that you're no longer in a relationship you can concentrate on just taking care of yourself and making yourself the priority. Avoid sacrificing your time for others, make yourself the priority everyday.

SUMMARY:
Avoid getting revenge. Release any regret you have over the break-up. Think about the positive things that can come from the break-up. Go back to your pre-dating routine. Concentrate on your personal priorities.
