Once your turtles have hatched, remove the empty pieces of shell so that they don't contaminate the container for those turtles who have yet to hatch. A turtle may lie in its eggshell for several days after breaking it open. During this time, it's absorbing the last of the egg yolk sack attached to its belly. Place your hatched turtles on a moist paper towel in a new container outside the incubator. Keep them here for several days until they've fully absorbed the yolk sack. Once they have, move them to a vivarium or give them a home in a pan of shallow water. Feed young turtles at least once a day. Hatchlings are mostly carnivorous but be sure to offer them some fruits and vegetables. People have successfully raised baby turtles on and almost exclusive diet of the commercially available food Reptomin. An excess of protein in a baby turtle's diet will cause its shell to deform. If you make this mistake, catch and correct it as soon as possible, and your young turtle will be fine. Unfortunately, once your turtle gets bigger, the deformity will be permanent and cause the turtle a lot of discomfort. Even with the very best of care, a significant number of captive-bred hatchlings also will not survive their first year. In nature, many young turtles don't survive, and the same is true for turtles bred in captivity. Enjoy the process, and, if you've done your best, don't blame yourself if eggs don't hatch or babies die.

Summary: Remove the shells. Relocate your hatchlings. Feed them. Be prepared for failure.

Lay your silk poster flat on a clean table, and measure its length and width using a ruler. Then, use a frame in the appropriate size to house your silk poster. You can purchase a frame in stores, or salvage 1 from a thrift store. You can get a frame in a fun color to match your poster, if you'd like. If your silk poster has any wrinkles or creases, you can iron it on the lowest heat setting to remove the folds. Move the hinges out of the way, and take the cardboard out of your frame. You can slide the hinges away using your fingers. If you are having trouble, use a screwdriver to help. Your frame should come with a piece of cardboard in between the glass and the backing. If not, it will have a piece of cardboard as its backing. Place your silk poster down so you are looking at the back of it. Then, place the cardboard on top of the silk in the middle. Ideally, your silk poster will stick out about 121in (1.32.5cm) on each side of the cardboard. You can lay the edges of your poster over your cardboard. Then, rip a few small pieces of painter's tape and stick them to all 4 outer edges of your silk poster. This will hold your silk poster in place as you secure it to the backing. After you have secured your corners, rip additional pieces of tape 122in (1.35.1cm) long, and stick them to the edges of your silk poster. As you secure 1 side of the silk, keep the other side taught so it stretches flat across the cardboard. Once your silk poster is attached to your cardboard backing, place it back inside the frame so the poster side faces the glass. Then, re-hinge the frame using your hands or a screwdriver. Position your nails on your wall about of the way towards your ceiling. If you are hanging long posters, you may want to raise your nails to the top of your wall. Then, hammer your nail into place. For a more secure hold, hammer in another nail about 13in (2.57.6cm) away from your first nail. Purchase large Command Damage-Free hanging hooks from most major retail locations. The Command Strip adhesives have 2 backing strips, 1 for the hook and 1 for your wall. To install them, peel away the backing for the hook, and stick it in the middle. Then, remove the backing from the wall side, press your hook to the wall, and place your picture frame on the hook. You can smooth your hand over the hook and hold it for 30 seconds, if you'd like. The sides of the adhesive are marked accordingly.

Summary: Grab a ruler and measure your silk to get a frame in the correct size. Disassemble your frame and set the cardboard insert to the side. Lay your silk face down on a flat surface and sit the cardboard on top. Fold your poster over the cardboard and secure it with painters tape. Reinforce your hold by adding pieces of tape around the perimeter. Reassemble your frame when your silk is secure. Hang your frame from a nail to hang your poster permanently. Use a Command Hook for a damage-free way to hang your silk poster.

This only takes a second, and should be done often. If you're hunched over and burning perilously close to your belly, chances are it's going to be much harder to burn. Burn over the outlines of your design first to get them set. Some woods give off more smoke than others, smoke which can be breathed in and become irritating to your lungs. To counteract this, put on a fan if you're working in an enclosed area.

Summary: Start by positioning your wood in a comfortable place, so you can reach it easily with your pen. Finish the outlines first. Consider using an exhaust fan while you're burning.

To understand how best to pay down your debt, you first need to understand how much you owe. Add together all your debts, including credit cards, short-term loans, student loans, and any mortgages or auto financing you have in your name. Look at your total debt numbers to help you understand how much you owe and how long it will realistically take to pay it off. Debts like credit cards tend to have higher interest rates than things like student loans. The longer you carry a balance on high-interest debts, the more you ultimately pay. Prioritize paying down your highest-interest debts first, making minimum payments on other debts and putting extra money into your top debt priorities. If you have a short-term loan (a car loan, for example), pay that down, too, as quickly as possible. Such loans can become very expensive if not paid off in full and on time. When you pay off a credit card balance, don't roll that payment amount back into your discretionary funds. Instead, roll the amount you were paying into your next debt. If, for example, you finish paying off a credit card, take the amount you were putting toward that card and add it to the minimum payment you've been making on another card or a student loan. The point is that you want to eliminate all recurring, long- and short-term debt as soon as possible so that you can live interest-free.
Summary: Figure out how much you owe. Prioritize high-interest debts. Go straight from paying off your highest-interest debt to paying off your next-highest-interest debt.
