Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create place settings. Use cloth napkins. Set up plates. Arrange the cutlery. Set up your glasses.

Answer: Everyone wants to feel that they are worth your time, and this is a good time to get that message across creatively. Lettering or calligraphy are popular methods to do this, but an easier alternative is to use a strand of simple multi-colored yarn to create each guest's first initial on their plate. When deciding the seat layout, be aware which personalities might clash and which might benefit from disparate personalities (e.g. a talkative guest near a shy guest). If you know which guests are left-handed, consider seating them near the end of the table. This helps people stay focused on meaningful conversation instead of apologizing for interruptions. Cloth napkins tell the guests that dinner is going to be a special event. They are a good investment if you intend to have other dinner parties in the future, so don't be afraid to purchase some new ones if you don't have any. Add whimsy to the table with patterns or different colored napkins. Once you have your menu planned, set out all of the plates that will be used through the course of the meal. Don't include dessert plates. Don't worry if you haven't got a matching set for every guest. Some of the most interesting displays can come out of a mismatched set. Check thrift stores for similar styles to what you already own, or call on friends to loan you some. Arrange the fork on the left of the plate, the butterknife on the right (facing left), and the spoon to the right of the knife. If you have antique cutlery, now's a fine time to break them out. Along with their personal importance, antique silverware can show your guests how much you appreciate them. Place a water glass and a wine glass at the top-right side of the plate, arranged in the order that they will be used starting at the outside and working in. Mismatched glasses, especially for wine, can bring a lot of charm to the table.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands before playing. Ease up on pressure. Minimize string bends. File your fingernails smooth. Don't tighten and loosen strings excessively.

Answer: The natural oils on your skin can corrode the exterior of your guitar strings. You may even notice the strings losing color and developing bits of rust. To combat this, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before playing to extend the life of your strings and keep them grime-free. Avoid applying perfumes or lotions to your hands before playing, as they are not suited for guitar strings and their ingredients may cause damage. When first learning to play the guitar, it's natural to press on the strings firmly as you gauge proper finger position. Once you have a better command of playing, though, you can actually use much less pressure to achieve your desired notes. Doing this will help minimize excessive pressure of your metal frets against the strings, which can cause physical wear to their exteriors and shorten their longevity. When you push a string tightly over the fret board so the pitch goes upa technique often used in rock and blues musicit strains the string. While this effect can sound desirable, doing this excessively can damage the string's internal structure, causing it to wear out more quickly. Nylon strings have a higher tolerance for string bends than metal strings, which tend to have more trouble snapping back into their original shape. If you play your guitar with your fingers rather than a pick, your nails are one of the items that most frequently touch and manipulate your strings. Uneven or jagged nails can actually cause abrasions to your strings' exteriors, which shortens their playable life. A smooth, rounded nail shape is preferable to a square shape for guitar playing. What's most important, though, is filing them smoothly, so no rough edges can scratch your strings. While some tinkering is necessary to properly tune your guitar, most amateur guitar players manipulate string tension far more than is necessary. If your guitar is in tune, try not to mess around tightening and loosening the strings just for fun. Excessive slackening and tightening wears down the interior structure of the strings, causing their integrity to break down over time. Avoiding this will help increase string life. Try to stick with one method of tuning to preserve your strings. That way you're not manipulating them excessively by switching between methodsfor example, between standard tuning and drop-D tuning.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine your wallpaper type. Clean the wallpaper. Rinse and dry the wallpaper.

Answer: Figure out what kind of wallpaper you have on your walls. Vinyl wallpaper is not difficult to clean. Coated fabric wallpaper is sometimes covered with an acrylic or vinyl covering that is easily washable. Plain paper wallpaper should not get wet. If possible, you should spot-clean it. You can scrub vinyl wallpaper, but you need to make sure that you don't clean with anything abrasive. You wouldn't want to use a rough sponge, for example. Clean walls that don't have protective coating with a dry sponge. A dry sponge, which contains no moisture, gently gets rid of the dirt on your wallpaper. Mix a small amount of dish soap, about two table spoons worth, with warm water in a bucket. Use clear soap to avoid staining the wallpaper with colored detergent. Dip a soft cloth or sponge in the cleaning solution. Wring out the excess cleaner into the bucket. Test the cleaning solution by dabbing a bit of it on an inconspicuous area. If it doesn't damage the wallpaper, start the cleaning process. Wipe the surface from the top to the bottom. Clean in the direction of the vertical seams. Clean one section at a time in a circular motion. Don't overuse soap. Using a large amount of soap will make dirt stick to walls. You may not want to use scrubbing pads because they are usually too harsh for wallpaper Testing the cleaning solution in a small, hidden area prevents you from damaging the entire wall in case the cleaner turns out to be destructive. The surface near the baseboards is rarely noticeable to others, and is a good spot to test. This is where the second bucket comes in. Using the water from that bucket and a new cloth, rinse each section with clean water. Don't use too much water; you don't want to end up with damp walls. With a terry-cloth towel, dry the surface immediately after to prevent the wallpaper from soaking up too much moisture and tearing.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Shower off. Hydrate the skin. Continue your sun exposure.

Answer:
Hop in the shower after you spend time in the sun to remove excess sunscreen, sweat, or sand and dirt. Keep drinking plenty of water and apply lotion topically to fully hydrate your skin for the best tan. Use aloe vera gel for a good way to soothe the skin. Continue to apply lotion regularly, both right after sun exposure and before bed. Spend just an hour or two in the sun per day, but do this every day. Build up your tan more gradually for a safer, longer-lasting, and more consistent dark tan.
