Q: The most popular way to use the points you've earned through the miles that you've flown is to pay for flights. Simply log into your program account to find out how many points you've accumulated and what you can get with them. There should be a redemption reward chart on your program website that displays this information. You can use your points to pay for flights that you book through any of the 28 Star Alliance airlines, not just the one you have a program membership through. Depending on your particular program, there may be certain "blackout dates," when you can't use your points for flights. Log into your program account and check the terms and conditions for this information. You can also use your points to upgrade your class of travel to 1 level higher than what you paid for in your reservation. To do this, first book the reservation through any Star Alliance airline and then request an upgrade through your program. Check your program's website for information regarding the amount of points required to get upgrades. Upgrade rewards are based on availability. Check your program's terms and conditions for information on qualifying for an upgrade. Star Alliance has lounges in over 1,000 airports that offer an escape from the crowds at the airport.

Q: Use silk thread to make soft, vibrant rakhi. Wrapping it around your pointer finger, middle finger, and ring finger will be easiest. Continue to hold the end of the thread between your thumb and pointer finger as you wrap the thread. Slide the looped bundle of thread off your fingers when you're finished. Wrap it around several times and then tie a knot to hold the thread in place. Pull the knot tight. When you're finished, the bundle of thread should look like a bow tie. There should be two small loops of thread on each side of the knot in the center. Use scissors to cut the bundle from the rest of the ball of thread, cutting as close to the knot possible. Cut at the point of each loop that's furthest away from the knot in the center. After you cut the loops, you'll have a bunch of thread ends on each side of the knot. Place the bundle on a flat surface and fan out the threads to fill in the gaps above and below the knot. When you're done, the fanned out threads should be flat and make a full circle. This will be the amulet for your rakhi. If you want the amulet to look more full, make a second one and glue it on top of the first one. Use fabric glue to apply decorative gemstones and beads to the thread. Work outward from the center of the thread. Don't cover all of the silk thread with decorations. You want some of it to show through your design. The ribbon should be long enough for you to tie around the wrist of whoever you're giving your rakhi to. Choose a color ribbon that matches or complements the thread you used. The backside of the thread is the side without decorations on it. Make a line of glue down the middle of the backside of the thread and firmly press the ribbon onto it. Glue decorative gemstones, beads, or mirrors to the top of the ribbon with fabric glue.
A: Hold the end of a thread between your thumb and pointer finger. Wrap the thread around three of your fingers about twenty times. Wrap the thread around the middle of the looped thread. Cut the ends of the two new loops of thread. Fan out the ends of the thread with your fingers. Decorate one side of the thread. Cut a 6-12 inch (15.2-30.5 cm) piece of ribbon. Glue the back of the thread to the middle of the ribbon with fabric glue. Decorate the ribbon. Finished.

Q: Go through your windup normally, with a normal fastball motion until you reach your release point. The knuckleball should look like a fastball until the pitcher reveals the ball right before his release. You don't want to tip your pitches to the batter. Don't alter your arm slot or anything else. This can reduce the chance your knuckleball will knuckle and end up as a soft lob. This is essential to getting minimal amount of spin. Throwing a fastball, you usually move your wrist down as you release the ball, creating steady spin on the ball and causing it to travel straight, more or less. Throwing a knuckleball, you try to do the opposite, because you don't want spin. Extend your fingertips out as you release the ball. This will minimize spin. Try to let your knuckles be the topmost point of your hand as you release. Having your knuckles at the very top of your hand will ensure that less spin is created when you release the ball. Let the ball slip through your hands by releasing your thumb from the grip. Follow through and end as if you are throwing any other pitch.
A: Keep a fast arm motion. Keep your wrist up as you release the pitch. Perfect your release.

Q: If you prefer to have something that you keep in your pants and looks more like a penis, you can use a packer. Packers are silicon penis shaped objects that you can put in your pants. Using a packer can be a more subtle way to STP, than using a more basic device, such as the medicine spoon. You can buy packers from numerous stores online. Search for "packers" and choose the size and colour you want. You can get a packer for around $10-$15. Ensure you buy a soft packer. You can make a packer into an STP device cheaply and quite easily at home. To do this you will also need to get a medicine spoon, and some relatively narrow plastic tubing. The tubing must be narrow enough to get through the penis, but wide enough so that you can attach it to the medicine spoon without any leaks. 3/8s of an inch is good size tubing to use. You can get this from your local hardware store. Trim down the medicine spoon, and firmly attach the tubing to the end of it. The medicine tube and tubing will be the channel your pee travels down, through the packer to the urinal. You need to get this tube through the packer, and to do this you need to make a hole in the packer. You can use any long sharp object, such as a screwdriver, or a tent peg. Make sure the object you are using to make the hole is longer than the packer. Carefully but firmly push the screwdriver through the packer, taking care to ensure that it comes out around where the urethra is. Once you have skewered the packer, leave the screwdriver in there. If you are struggling to pierce the packer, you can try heating the piercing device first. Now place the tubing and spoon over the end of the screwdriver and work it back through the hole you have just made in the packer. This will take some careful manoeuvring and some brute force, but it will go through eventually. Soft packers are very malleable so they will stand being squeezed and pushed around while you get the tubing through. Once you have gotten the tubing through, the medicine spoon end, which you will pee into, should be protruding sufficiently to use. The end of tube should be the right at the front end of the penis, where the urethra is. You may need to roll the end of the packer back a little when you use it to ensure that the tubing is sticking out of the packer enough to avoid any accidents.
A:
Buy a packer. Get a medicine spoon and some plastic tubing. Make a hole in the packer. Push the tubing through.
