Q: Your hair should completely dry in the clamps. Don't take them out while your hair is still wet, or the waves will fall out.
A: Let your hair dry.

Q: The descriptions below use various terms or numbers to describe the mineral's shape, hardness, appearance after breaking, or other attributes. If you're not sure what these mean, refer to the section above on conducting tests for an explanation. Quartz is an extremely common mineral, and its glittering or crystalline appearance catches the eye of many collectors. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, and demonstrates any type of fracture when broken, never the flat surface of cleavage. It does not leave a noticeable streak on white porcelain. It has a glassy luster, or shine. Milky quartz is translucent, rose quartz is pink, and amethyst is purple. All types of quartz are crystalline, but some varieties, called "cryptocrystalline," are made of minuscule crystals not visible to the eye. If the mineral has a hardness of 7, fractures, and has a glassy luster, it may be a type of quartz called chert. This is most commonly brown or grey. "Flint" is one variety of chert, but it is categorized in many different ways. For instance, some people may refer to any black chert as flint, while others may only call it flint if it has a certain luster or was found among certain types of rock. Chalcedony is formed from a mixtures of quartz and another mineral, moganite. There are many beautiful varieties, typically forming striped bands of different colors. Here are two of the most common: Onyx is a type of chalcedony that tends to have parallel bands. It is most often black or white, but can be many colors. Agate has more curving or "wiggly" bands, and can show up in a wide variety of different colors. It can form from pure quartz, chalcedony, or similar minerals. Besides the many varieties of quartz, feldspar is the most common type of mineral found. It has a hardness of 6, leaves a white streak, and can appear with various colors or luster. It forms two flat cleavages when broken, with surfaces that are fairly smooth and nearly at right angles to each other. This mineral is easily identified because it peels into thin, flexible sheets when scratched by a fingernail or even rubbed with a finger. Muscovite mica or white mica is pale brown or colorless, while biotite mica or black mica is dark brown or black, with a brown-gray streak. Pyrite, also known as fool's gold, has a metallic yellow appearance, but several tests can distinguish it from real gold. It has a hardness rating of 6 or more, while gold is much softer, with a rating between 2 and 3. It leaves a greenish-black streak, and can be crushed into powder if enough pressure is applied. Marcasite is another common mineral similar to pyrite. While pyrite crystals are shaped like cubes, marcasite forms needles. Both of these minerals contain copper, among other minerals. The copper gives malachite its rich green color, while it causes azurite to appear bright blue. These often occur together, and both have a hardness between 3 and 4. A mineral guide specific to your area will cover other common types of mineral found in that region. If you are having difficulty identifying a mineral, some online resources such as minerals.net will let you search for the results of your tests and match them to possible minerals.
A: Refer to the previous section if you don't understand a description. Crystalline minerals are most often quartz. Hard, glassy minerals without crystals may be a different type of quartz, called chert. Minerals with striped bands are usually a type of chalcedony. See if your mineral's characteristics match feldspar's. If the mineral peels when rubbed, it is probably mica. Learn the different between gold and fool's gold. Green and blue minerals are often malachite or azurite. Use a mineral guide or website to identify other types.

Q: Title loans trade ownership of your car's title for cash. Often, you'll have to turn over a set of keys in addition to the title. If you don't pay back the loan, you lose your car. Rates are comparable to payday loans, but because the loan is secured with your vehicle, you can often get much more cash and longer terms with title loans. Do an internet search on "title loans" and there will be many to choose from in your area. There will be fees and interest charged in addition to your providing the car's title. Generally the forms are quick and easy to fill out, and they will look for the following information: Your car. They will want to know what your car is worth, so will ask for the make, model, and mileage. Based on this, they will determine the maximum amount you can borrow. Your personal information. This is the standard stuffthe who, what, and where about you so that they can verify you're a legitimate person. Finally, they will ask about your vehicle, your financial situation, and the best parthow you want to get your cash. As you will see, the interest rates can vary dramatically. But if you can pay off the loan within a year or less, the rates can be closer to what you would pay for interest on a credit card. It's important to be able to pay off your loan on time. Take a look at all of the costs and combine them into a workable loan structure with your budget that can be paid off over the agreed upon time frame.
A: Consider a title loan on your car. Apply online. Make a payment plan.

Q: Avoid being ambitious when writing out the itinerary. Remember, a group tends to move slower as you add more people to it. Begin sketching a basic outline for the group, leaving gaps of time between traveling sessions, activities, and between rest periods. An easy way to create and share an itinerary is through Google Docs. Add the group members to the document and give them permission to edit it. A few phone applications are useful for creating and sharing itineraries. Try Travefy or Tripit. The first aspect to add to the itinerary is your arrival and departure. If you need to get tickets to travel, such as when flying, do it once the group agrees on the travel date. Use these dates as a beginning and end, filling in the middle part of the trip with activities. Travel arrangements are often cheaper to make in advance. If you need to get plane tickets, for instance, get the tickets right away to ensure you lock in the price and number of seats your group needs. If you travel through a company, ask them about group discounts. Next, figure out where the group will stay. Large hotels are always an option, but look into alternatives. Utilize smaller hotels, resorts, villas, and rented homes to keep the group together. Make these arrangements in advance to reserve whatever accommodations the group needs. You can rent homes and condos through services such as Airbnb. Figure out how you will get to the hotel or wherever you decided on staying. You may need to come up with special arrangements, such as taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Note how much time it takes to get from place to place. Rent a car, buy bus tickets, or make any other arrangements you need to do in advance. Next, begin outlining the activities your group plans on undertaking. This includes sightseeing, tours, and shopping. Leave some buffer time between each activity. Book any activities that need to be arranged in advance. Doing 1 big activity a day is a fair way to compromise. Being on the go all the time is difficult, especially when some group members want to relax. Avoid making the schedule too strict. A schedule that is too packed or rigid falls apart when something goes wrong. Call restaurants in advance so they can make arrangements for your group. It is difficult for a restaurant to accommodate a group of 8 people coming through the doors during the dinner rush. Lock in your reservations for the sake of enjoyment and security. You can use applications like Table8 and OpenTable to reserve spots at some restaurants.
A:
Outline your trip itinerary on paper. Arrange your arrival and departure first. Book your living accommodations. Schedule any transportation you need. Write group activities into the itinerary. Make your restaurant reservations.
