INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For the jello shots, you'll need 12 clear shot glasses. Place the glasses in a muffin pan so they're angled slightly. That will allow you to create slanted stripes for the candy cane jello shots. It's best to use tall, thin shot classes for the most impressive looking jello shots. Once the shot glasses are arranged in the muffin pan, add some of the red gelatin mixture to each glass. Aim for approximately 2 teaspoons (10 ml) in each glass. If you prefer, you can start your jello shots with the white layer. After you've added a layer of the red gelatin to each shot glass, place the muffin tin in the refrigerator. Allow the gelatin to chill until it is partially set, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes. When the red gelatin is ready, it will no longer be liquid and you'll be able to lightly touch the surface with a finger. When the first red layer is partially set, spoon some of the white gelatin mixture into the glasses over the red. Again, aim to place about 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of the white gelatin in each glass. Place the muffin tin back in the fridge for 20 minutes so the white gelatin can partially set. Once the white gelatin layer is set, continue adding red and white layers of gelatin to the glasses until they're full. Chill after each addition to make sure that the layers are partially set before adding another.

SUMMARY: Set shot glasses at an angle in a muffin pan. Spoon some of the red gelatin into each glass. Chill the red gelatin in the refrigerator. Add some of the white gelatin to each glass and chill again. Repeat the process until the glasses are full.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most doctors recommend allowing labor to happen naturally unless there's a medical reason to induce. However, if you're full-term and feel that induction is the best choice for you, discuss your options with your doctor or midwife. They might suggest approaches such as: Stripping your membranes. This is a procedure in which the doctor or midwife inserts a finger into your vagina and moves it around to separate the membrane of the amniotic sac from the wall of your uterus. Giving you medications to stimulate labor, such as prostaglandin or oxytocin. Artificially rupturing your membranes (breaking your water).

SUMMARY: Discuss medical induction options if natural methods don't work.

If so, click anywhere on the page, and then follow the on-screen instructions to enable Flash. It's the first tool in the toolbar (at the top-left corner). The toolbar is the panel of icons that runs along the left side of the screen. Everything outside of the selected area will be trimmed from the image. A confirmation pop-up will appear, asking if you want to apply the changes. The image is now cropped. It's in the menu bar at the top of the screen. It's the first option. A pop-up will appear. If you don't want to warp the image, make sure the Constrain proportions box is checked, and then choose your desired size from either the Width or Height menu. This automatically adjusts the Width or Height (whichever option you didn't choose) to the proper size without distorting the image. If you want the image to have a specific width and height regardless of whether it stretches or distorts the image, remove the check mark from Constrain proportions, then select values from both the Width and Height menus. The image now displays in its new size.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can have an amazing date at almost any type of restaurant, not just fancy and expensive ones. It can be a cantina with great margaritas, a French restaurant with luxurious entrees, even the new ice cream place. You may want to choose a place you have been to before, or that someone you know has recommended. Nothing sours a date like ending up in a restaurant with prices that are shockingly high or food and service that's sub par. Check on the menu pricing. You can often get a sample menu online, and many restaurant reviews will give an idea of what you can expect to pay. This helps avoid an uncomfortable situation: finding yourself short of money, or at an unexpectedly extremely cheap or expensive eatery. Plan to pay for your date's meal if you are the one who's organizing the date. If you spent the day kayaking in the ocean, consider having a casual meal. You could get lunch or dinner from a food truck, or buy sandwiches from a deli near the beach. If you are both sandy, sweaty, and wearing your beach gear, it might not be appropriate or practical to go to the expensive seafood restaurant. If you're going to be quite active all day, you could consider packing a picnic. Bring a bottle of champagne or wine to share to make it extra special. While casual dining is great for a date, avoid eating at a fast food place if at all possible. It's not the price of the food that matters, but the originality. Take your date somewhere special. When your date recounts details to her best friend, you don't want her description to include, "And then we went to McDonalds." Nothing could be more romantic than planning and cooking an entire meal for your date. If you're planning to have a date night in, it's a way to make your date feel very special. Plus, having good cooking skills is impressive and sexy. Just be sure to cook something you have made before, so you know it'll turn out and taste delicious. You don't have to make a complicated six-course meal, but you also probably should not invite someone over for frozen pizza. If you are going to cook at home, make something quality. Or at least from a high-quality market. Sometimes making dinner together can be fun and romantic. Pasta dishes are easy to make, and relatively inexpensive.

SUMMARY:
Choose an eatery. Match the tone of the date to the tone of the restaurant. Cook dinner at home.
