Sugar cane is easiest to find during the harvest season, in late summer and early fall. If you can't find sugar cane plants at your local garden center, it can often be found at roadside stands and farmer's markets. Asian groceries also often stock sugar cane plants. Look for long, thick stems, which are more likely to produce healthy new plants. The stems have joints, and a new plant will sprout from each one. Keeping this in mind, buy as many stems as you need to produce the size crop you want. Leave three to four joints per piece, to make it more likely that each piece will produce a few sprouts. If the stems have any leaves or flowers, go ahead and remove them. Sugar cane stems are planted horizontally on their sides, in four-inch deep furrows, or trenches. They need full sun, so choose an area that isn't shaded. Dig furrows long enough to fit each piece of cane you're planting, and space the furrows one foot apart. Use a spade or hoe, rather than a shovel, to make it easier to dig the furrows. Use a hose to lightly moisten the furrows to prepare them for the sugar cane. Make sure the water has drained and there are no remaining puddles before you plant. Place the stems horizontally into the furrows. Cover them with soil. Do not plant stems upright, or they will not grow. In the spring, usually in April or May, shoots will start to grow from the nodes of the stems. You'll see them breaking through the soil to form individual sugar cane stalks, which will grow quite tall by summer's end.

Summary: Select healthy sugar cane plants. Split the sugar cane stems into foot-long pieces. Dig furrows in a sunny planting spot. Moisten the furrows. Plant the sugar cane. Wait for the sugar cane to grow.

Generally, most home equity borrowers get at least three business days from closing to cancel their loan. Business days include Saturdays but not Sundays or public holidays. Depending on your circumstances, you may have more time (possibly up to three years). The clock starts ticking when you close and you have three days after that to cancel. This is called rescission. If you have missed the deadline, consult with an attorney. You may have additional rights under your state's laws. You will not see the funds from the loan until after the three day waiting period. It is important to keep this in mind, if you need the funds by a specific date. You cannot cancel in person or over the telephone. Instead, you must send the lender a letter. Do not delay. You must mail the letter before midnight of the third business day. Mail the letter by certified mail, with a return receipt requested, so that you will know when it has been received. Also, hold onto all correspondence with your lender. If the loan is accidentally funded before they received and processed the letter, ensure you do not cash the check or spend the money. Your lender has 20 days after you cancel to release the security interest in your home. The lender also must return any money or property you paid as part of the transaction. You must also return the lender's money. Once you receive a release of your security interest, you must offer to return the creditor's property or money. Contact your state's Attorney General's Office or banking regulatory office if you think the lender used deceptive or unfair practices. Be prepared to provide evidence to back up your assertions.

Summary: Identify the deadline for cancelling. Write a letter to cancel. Receive a release of the security interest. Complain to the authorities about unfair practices.

Christmas tree lights can be end to end or stacked. End to end is also known as string to string. Stacked plugs can join more light strands together relative to string to string plugs. Read the boxes to ensure that your lights are compatible before purchasing. Don't plug more than two extension cords to one another and make sure that they can handle the wattage of the bulbs. Only buy the lengths of light string and extension cord that you will be using. Make sure that all the lights you are using have the same wattage to prevent power surges. This will also prolong the life of your lights. Make sure all the lights work before placing them on your tree. You don't want any live wires or broken bulbs in your tree as they can be fire hazards. Miniature white lights make great base lighting when coupled with strands of larger cool-burning bulbs that come in a variety of colour. You may also add novelty lights like flashing lights, flickering flames, bubble lights, or lights of various shapes along with miniature lights.

Summary: Make sure all your lights are compatible. Check the wattage of the bulbs. Plug in your lights before removing them from the box. Use miniature clear lights as base lighting.

It will begin wiggling. After around a second, a grey cube will appear around the bottom app. This will drop your top app into a folder with the bottom app. The folder name is above the grey area in which your apps are seated; tapping X will remove the title of the folder and allow you to add your own. If your iPod's keyboard doesn't appear, first tap the folder name bar. It's the blue key in the bottom-right corner of your keyboard. This will minimize the app folder. Doing so will add them to your folder. You can also tap and drag the folder to move it in the same way you'd move an app. This will cause your apps to stop wiggling.
Summary: Tap and hold an app. Drag the app onto another app. Remove your finger. Tap X to the right of the folder name. Type in your preferred folder name. Tap Done. Tap outside of the app folder. Tap and drag apps into the folder. Press the Home button.
