Problem: Article: People have been making wine for thousands of years, and they've learned a few tricks along the way. Keep the following in mind as you make your own wine for the first time: Use very clean equipment to prevent bacteria from spoiling your wine. Keep your first ferment covered but allow for ventilation. Keep the secondary fermentation air-free. Keep all bottles full, to minimize oxygen in the bottle. Keep red wines in dark bottles so they don't lose their appearance. Make wines too dry instead of too sweet: you can add sugar later. Taste the wine at intervals to make sure the process is going well. Avoiding these common pitfalls can help ensure your success. Do not: Sell your wine, since this is illegal. Let vinegar flies come in contact with your wine. Use metal vessels. Use tools or containers made out of resinous wood, as they can spoil the wine's flavor. Try to speed up fermentation by turning up the temperature. Filter without a reason or too soon. Store your wine in unsterilized jars or bottles. Bottle your wine before it has finished fermenting.
Summary: Learn the tricks that lead to successful wine-making. Know what to avoid with home wine-making.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stand close enough to them so that you can easily reach both of their shoulders while keeping a little bend in your arms. This is the simplest and most effective position for performing a shoulder massage. If there isn't a chair around, you can also have your recipient sit cross-legged on the edge of a bed or similar perch. Leave a little space between your recipient's body and your own. Standing too close will make it difficult to work, and could make the other person uncomfortable. Extend your thumbs while pulling your fingers together and curling them slightly. Keep the top joint of each of your fingers straightmost of the bend should be in your third knuckles, where your fingers meet your palms. Your hands will remain in this same position throughout the massage. If needed, you can adjust your grip a little once you get started to better mold them to your recipient's shoulders. Maintaining the "C" shape, turn your hands over so that your fingers point downwards. Slide your hands all the way down so that the webbing of your thumbs rests over the tops of their shoulders. Feel for the smooth contour of the muscles just above the collarbones with your fingertips. If your recipient has long hair, brush it out of the way or ask them to put it up so it doesn't get pulled accidentally during the massage. This hand position is sometimes called the "claw" or "duck" grip. Press the tips of your fingers and thumbs into the trapezius from both sides, starting at the inside of the shoulders closest to the neck. Roll the muscles up towards your recipient's collarbones without releasing your grip. The idea is to squeeze and lift instead of clamping down forcefully with your fingers. Relying on your whole arm rather than just your fingers will help reduce fatigue and prevent you from being too rough in sensitive spots, making the experience more comfortable for both you and your recipient. As you massage, try to get into a regular rhythmbring your arms come up and loosen your grip, then lower them and channel the movement into small pulses of your fingers. Finding a comfortable rhythm will allow you to massage with proper technique for much longer. Don't get in a hurry. The slower you go, the better it will feel. After kneading the inner part of the trapezius for a few minutes, gradually spread your hands out towards your recipient's arms. Then, change direction and work your way back towards the neck. Continue in this fashion until your recipient is relaxed, refreshed, and tension-free. Stop short of the bony protrusions of the shoulder joints themselves. Pressing directly on bones or joints can be painful.

SUMMARY: Have your recipient sit down in front of you with their back to you. Form a loose "C" shape with both hands. Drape your hands over your recipient's shoulders. Draw the muscles upwards with gentle, consistent pressure. Raise and lower your forearms and elbows with slow, smooth motions. Go over the entire length of the shoulders.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the main principles of raja yoga is non-violence. Since the consumption of meat involves the death of an animal, yogis typically become vegetarians. The further you advance in your practice, the more interested you may become in giving up meat. Raja yoga includes eight steps toward enlightenment, the first of which is self-control. Nonviolence is part of this first step, which means without becoming a vegetarian you ultimately will not achieve enlightenment. However, not everyone wishes to progress that far with their practice. Keep in mind that you do not have to become a vegetarian to meditate, or to gain benefit from a daily meditation practice. This is a decision you must come to on your own, in your own time. You certainly don't have to give away everything you own to benefit from meditation. But as you progress in raja yoga, you probably will find that you have less and less attachment to material possessions. The principle of non-accumulation of material belongings also is included in the first step on the raja yoga path to enlightenment. The essence of this principle is to acquire only those things that you need to live. So, for example, if you live alone, there is no need to have a full set of dishes you only need one plate, one spoon, one glass, and one set of silverware. Non-accumulation applies to people as well. Yogis do not hold onto others or foist their own beliefs and expectations on others, but rather allow them the freedom to be their own people and follow their own paths. Yogis who follow raja yoga believe that sex should only be for procreation. If you are not procreating, or attempting to procreate, you should abstain from sex if you want to reach a state of enlightenment. This yogic principle of purity goes beyond merely sexual abstinence, however. It also means you live a life of complete purity, with your thoughts turned always toward God. If you aspire to follow the raja yoga path, it is your responsibility to understand the principles and ideas upon which it is founded. The traditional texts can assist you on your meditative journey. Key books to read include the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Keep in mind that you don't have to believe everything in these books, or in other yogic teachings, to benefit from a meditative practice. Hold what you want and don't worry about the rest, but keep your mind open. As you continue to meditate, you might find yourself going back to those teachings and finding something new in them. Letting go of the idea of being stylish or following trends is part of embracing non-attachment to material possessions. Clothing ideally should be made of natural fibers, to comport with the yogic principle of purity. Light-colored clothing typically is the least distracting, and is often favored by raja yoga practitioners. Avoid synthetic fabrics, since these are impure. You also should try to avoid brightly colored clothing or clothing with loud patterns that is designed to get attention. Stay away from clothing or shoes made from leather or fur, as these require the death of an animal.
Summary:
Become a vegetarian. Give away your belongings. Practice sexual abstinence. Study yoga philosophy. Wear simple, modest clothing.
