Problem: Article: 10-15 minutes should be sufficient. Instead of unnecessary brewer's locks/equipment, make a 'simple lock' to allow the gases from the fermentation to vent. This is easily made with plastic wrap and a rubber band. Loosely cover the top of your bottle with a piece of plastic wrap and stretch the rubber band around the neck to keep it in place. Make sure the rubber band's seal is loose enough to allow the gases to vent out. With this method, it usually lasts 3 days to a week, but varies. Typically, it goes quite fast, especially if your rehydrate your yeast before adding it.
Summary: You're using dry baking yeast, rehydrate it in a shallow dish with a little water and sugar. Add the yeast to the must and shake! Add your 'simple lock': Wait for the initial burst of fermentation to finish (the yeast should have collected on the bottom of the container and any sort of fizzing should have stopped).

Problem: Article: Refer to your list of items that you made for your budget. Purchase as many supplies as you can ahead of time and make sure you know where to get anything else you need to purchase right before the event. For example, for a silent auction, you will need things like tables, clipboards, paper, pens, and donated goods and services to auction off. If you are having a meal at your event, you'll need things like food, drinks, glasses, plates, and cutlery. Hire any staff you need, such as security or wait staff. Schedule food service, entertainment, and anything else you need for the fundraiser. For example, if you want to have live entertainment at the event, book a band in advance. If you want to tightly control entry, hire a security guard to attend the front door. If you are serving food, reserve a team of caterers to supply the food and serve guests. Talk to friends, family, people you know who support your cause and ask them if they are willing to help out with your fundraiser. Gather enough volunteers to help you with pre-event activities as well as help run the event itself. The number of volunteers you need depends on how big the event is. You can make a list of all the different roles and responsibilities you want help with to decide how many volunteers you need. Once you have a team assembled, assign tasks to your team members and make sure everyone understands their particular job or task. Encourage team members to ask questions if they're unclear about their assignment or responsibilities. For example, if you're holding a silent auction, you might need 1-2 people to help you out with marketing and ticket sales before the event. Then, you might need 1 person to receive donations and handle money on the day of the event, 1 person to direct guests in the parking lot, and 1 person to usher guests to their seats.
Summary: Purchase all the necessary supplies. Book any services you need for the event. Assemble a team of volunteers to work the event. Delegate leadership tasks and other responsibilities to your event team.

Problem: Article: As a teen, you will likely start going to more semi-formal and formal events so it's best to start figuring out some key articles of clothing that will help round out that part of your wardrobe. Most children are allowed to wear just about anything, but as you get older, having more than just casual clothing will be necessary for jobs, parties, and other important functions. If you're a boy, start looking into some clothing articles that you may not already have, such as ties, leather shoes, and nice belts. Ask an older male relative or friend for guidance. Your parents may also be willing to buy you some of these items. If you are a girl, consider whether you have some of these basics: sensible, low heeled shoes, blazers, or cocktail dresses. A little black dress is also a great option that's appropriate for many semi-formal events. There are many stores that sell semi-formal attire for relatively cheap, such as Gap and Forever21. Feel free to ask the store employees for help and some stores may even have specific sections for semi-formal attire. Knowing what you're missing from your wardrobe ahead of time will help you while you're shopping as you'll have a specific goal instead of wandering around aimlessly. Always browse the sale section as you never know what you'll find. These stores are often cheaper than malls and you can often find great, unique pieces at a low cost. Sometimes you can even find interesting items such as slacks and suspenders which are now worn less often but can really add a fashionable edge to your semi-formal wardrobe. Just be sure to buy clothes that are still in good condition and aren't worn out or misshapen.
Summary: Figure out what you're missing. Go to the mall. Check out vintage or secondhand stores.

Problem: Article: Because shows are often stressful areas for horses (with all the other horses and people present), it is important to try to keep as normal of a feed schedule as possible. Get all their regular food and at least two buckets for water. When you get to the show, try to feed them at the same times as you normally would at home. The worse thing is showing up to a show missing some of the necessary tack and equipment that you will need. Make a checklist of everything you will need for the show, including any riding or exercise gear and blankets. Put all of these together and check them off your list prior to leaving, just to make sure you've gotten everything you could possibly need. Clean and polish all tack before heading to the show for the best presentation. Check with your show circuit's regulations; some bits, aids and pieces of tack are prohibited. For example, 4-H has severe restrictions on the types of bits used, and some riding clubs or associations don't allow figure-eights, draw reins, etc. Driving long distances in a trailer can be especially stressful for some horses. Rather than arriving at your show with a frightened, anxious horse, help to minimize their anxiety by bringing another horse along for the ride. They'll be much more calm upon arrival than if you hadn't. Call the event venue that you are showing at, and see if you need to bring your own bedding for the stall. Many shows require that you bring your own shavings to fill the stall with, as well as any hooks or chains, and a wheelbarrow/bucket and pick for cleaning. See what will be available for communal use at the show and what you need to bring from home - and make sure what you're bringing meets any guidelines the venue may have. No matter where you travel, it is always important to have a first aid kit prepared for your horse. Bring all basic supplies to treat for basic cuts and abrasions as well as bruises or swelling. Be sure to do the same with a human first aid kit, should you encounter an accident of some sort. You'll be away from home, so it's best to prepare for everything and anything. Pack a spare set of show clothes in case something happens to your own, making them unusable for the show. Additionally, you could choose to pack a pair of more comfortable clothes/shoes for the ride to and from the venue.
Summary:
Prepare your horse's food and water. Gather all your tack. Get a trailer companion prepared, if necessary. Prepare the necessary stall equipment. Get a first aid kit prepared, for both horses and humans. Bring a change of clothes.
