Problem: Article: These logs will still be damp and this helps them to burn more slowly, giving off a steady heat.
Summary: Roll 12 newspapers up tightly into a log shape. Tie each end of the log with string. Soak the log in water for two to three days. Leave to drain for two to three days. Use on a fire that is burning well.

Problem: Article: For pirate crew, your top doesn't need to be as fancy as that which would be worn by the pirate captain or long-term senior pirate crew. A t-shirt will serve adequately. A larger shirt is best to give the idea of rugged sloppiness, which all good pirates attempt to get across. You've been at sea for months. Though you don't want to pretend you have scurvy, make it seem you're a little worse for the wear. Cut areas of the t-shirt to give an impression of ruggedness: Cut off the ends of the sleeves in a jagged fashion. Cut the bottom of the t-shirt off. Pirates don't need hems. Cut off the neckline of the t-shirt. $10 says Hanes was not around in the era of your pirate. Also paint lines around the sleeves. These don't need to be perfectthe more homemade they look, the better. Allow the paint to dry, then flip the t-shirt over and paint the back the same way.
Summary: Select a large white t-shirt that you're willing to change. Start sculpting. Paint blue stripes across the shirt using fabric paint.

Problem: Article: Breathe in and out using your diaphragm (your stomach). When you breathe in, your stomach should expand. When you breathe out, it should go back. Make sure that there is no movement in your chest. Singing from your chest or throat is shallow and unsupported, whereas singing from your diaphragm allows you to use your 'powerhouse' to support the notes you are singing and keep you in tune. Note that you are not actually breathing from your diaphragm, since your diaphragm doesn't hold air. This term is more of a reference to the way your diaphragm moves and responds to proper, controlled breathing. Breathing while singing is different from breathing while talking or resting, which you do without much thought or effort. When singing, you have to pay attention to your breath control and ensure you have plenty of air. Articulating your words clearly, distinctly, and fluently is extremely important while singing. Even if you have an amazing voice, your listeners can't connect with you or your song if they can't understand the words you are saying. Practice a few tongue twisters to help you improve your enunciation: She says she shall sew a sheet. Lesser leather never weathered lesser wetter weather. She stood on the balcony, inexplicably mimicking him hiccupping, and amicably welcoming him home. Paying special attention to the vowels (A, E, I, O, U) can make a tremendous difference in the clarity of your singing. It helps to clearly differentiate the shape of your mouth for each vowel. It may feel silly or exaggerated, but this is one of the best ways to ensure the vowels are prominent and your voice is clear. If you don't focus on your vowels, you may have the tendency to sound like you are mumbling. For instance, "Happy birthday" should sound like "Haaappeee biiirthdaaay" To sing a word that begins with a vowel, imagine adding a tiny bit of an "h" before the vowel and think about arriving at the note from a higher note. This technique, called easy onset, helps to prevent a harsh sound (glottal stop) as well as scooping up to the note. Scales, as boring as they may be, are the best way of getting a clearer, brighter tone. Start with singing the classic solfege scale: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do. You can also simply sing, "Ahh" as you sing through the scale. As you work on the scales, practice long notes and short notes, and high tones and low tones. Exaggerate your sounds while practicing your scales. Your mouth should be open wide (but don't over-exaggerate this, as it can lead to tightness in your jaw) and your voice very loud. Try words like "Yeah" and "No." Don't go higher than is comfortable so you don't put too much strain on your vocal cords. Search "practice scales" on YouTube to get access to a variety of videos that will guide you. Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to devote to practicing scales. Think of a song that you know and can sing well. Now replace every word in the song with one of the following words: Mom, Nay, No, Go, Gug. This sort of easy practice can help you enunciate clearly while hitting every note. Experiment with the different words to find which one is easiest for you. Once you find it, try mastering a couple different songs using your chosen word.
Summary: Control your breathing. Articulate your words clearly so listeners can understand the lyrics. Be very deliberate when enunciating your vowels. Practice scales to see a noticeable improvement in your tone and clarity. Replace the words in a well-known song to help you enunciate clearly.

Problem: Article: On the rear of your Roomba there is a tray that fills with dirt and dust as it vacuums (also called the "bin"). Press the button on top of this tray and remove it. Dump the contents of this tray into the trashcan. You should be able to see a red semi-circle inside the tray (which may be covered with gray dirt and dust). This is your filter. This filter will easily slide out of the tray, while remaining attached on one end. Slide this out, and knock any loose dirt/dust off into the trashcan. Attach the crevice tool (the long, thin attachment) to the hose of a regular vacuum cleaner. Then turn the vacuum on and use this attachment to remove dirt and grime from the Roomba collection tray and filter. Remove the crevice tool from your vacuum hose, and instead attach the brush tool. Turn your vacuum back on and go over the filter and tray once again. This time, pay extra attention to the surface of the filter, the rubber seals, and the vents on the back of the tray. When you are finished, snap the filter back into place.
Summary:
Empty your Roomba. Remove the filter. Vacuum the tray and filter using a regular vacuum and the crevice tool. Switch to the brush tool.
