Article: While most credit cards allow cash advances, it doesn't work exactly like using a credit card. Where you might be able to use a credit card even if you're a little late on the payment, this is generally not the case with a cash advance. You typically can't withdraw the entire amount of your credit limit, either, so you'll need to make sure you're not maxed out before you try to make a withdrawal. If you use online banking, you should be able to access this information quickly by logging into your account. If you don't use online banking and you aren't sure about whether you're current on payments or how much you have left on your credit limit, you should call the creditor who issued the card. They'll be able to answer any question you might have about your credit limit or payment history. Don't forget to ask about any fees or special interest rates for cash advances. Before you go to the ATM, remember that your credit card has a different PIN than does your debit card. You'll need to get the PIN for your credit card before you go to the ATM, because it's common for an ATM to freeze an account after a certain number of wrong entries. If you can't remember your PIN, you may be able to reset it. Call your bank and inquire about how to change it. Sometimes it's as easy as calling a 1-800 number, but other banks might send you the new PIN in the mail. Although you can get a cash advance from a bank or in the form of a check delivered by postal mail, the speed and convenience of an ATM withdrawal is part of the appeal. Try and find an ATM from the same bank as issued the cardusing it will be free. If you can't find an ATM from the issuing bank, try an Allpoint ATM. Allpoint is a network of over 50,000 surcharge-free ATMs. Unfortunately, everyone isn't in the Allpoint network. Check to see if you are at http://www.allpointnetwork.com/.

Article: If there is surface dirt on the felt, gently brush it away with a soft bristled toothbrush. Brush only in one direction. Don't rub in a circle or up and down. Scrubbing in alternate directions can cause the material to pile up and fuzz. Dip a cloth in some warm water until the cloth is slightly damp. Press and dab at the dirt with light pressure, making sure not to rub. This may help remove some of the dirt. If there is loose dirt and dust on the felt, you can try to vacuum it away. Use a small vacuum nozzle and run it over the felt. If the suction on your vacuum is too hard, you can place some old panty hose or tights over the nozzle to help. Be careful when vacuuming around beading or ribbons. Make sure they are secure so you don't suck them off the felt. You can clean your felt at home by steaming it. Use a tea kettle or pot and boil water in it. When the water starts steaming, place the felt over the steam. In your other hand, hold a soft sponge, lint-free cloth, or soft bristled brush. While holding the item in place, use the soft tool to gently brush the dirty area. This can be time consuming since you can only clean a little bit at a time.

Article: When you're first getting acclimated to working out outdoors, it's best to start with roughly 15 minutes of moderate exercise at a time. As your conditioning improves, you can begin to add 2-3 minutes to each session. Take plenty of rest breaks and be careful not to try to do too much too soon. Pay close attention to how you feel after each period of activity. If you detect that your performance is dropping off, play it safe and decrease your intensity or take longer breaks. It typically takes about two weeks for the average person to become heating acclimatized. Fill up on cold water before you set out to bike, hike or jog and plan for frequent hydration stops along the way. Keeping your tissues flushed with water is crucial if you're going to be slogging it out in stifling conditionselevated temperatures will cause you to sweat constantly, even when you're not actively exerting yourself. Dehydration can be deceptive. Replenish your fluid levels at regular intervals, whether you feel thirsty or not. Always carry a water bottle with you, or make sure there's another available source of water nearby. Sports drinks replenish not only fluids, but also essential electrolytes which are needed to power your muscles through a workout. After your first couple of weeks in a new environment, crank up the duration of your activity to around an hour at a time. This will soon become easier, and you can begin spending even longer periods outdoors. If your goal is to acclimatize as quickly as possible, plan on building up to least two hours a day. Once you're able to comfortably stay out for two or more hours a day, you'll begin to feel much more at ease in motion and at rest. Raise your tolerance by finding an area with some light shade or stripping off non-essential items of clothing rather than seeking refuge indoors. Monitor your heart rate and breathing patterns vigilantly and be ready to call it a day if they start getting out of control. Even if you're an elite athlete, there will come a point when your body can no longer keep up with the demands of working out in the heat. At this point, your continued efforts can go from difficult to dangerous. Listen to your body, not your exercise journal. Stop what you're doing and seek out a shady place to rest when you feel the heat getting to you, even if you haven't finished your session. Consider splitting your workouts up into multiple short sessions to reduce your risk of overheating.
