Q: If you're cleaning blinds in the kitchen, or if you have pets in the house, your blinds may need more than a simple dusting to get clean. Turn the stem to close the blinds. Get the slats flat and straighten them out to expose as much dust and dirt as you can. You might choose to remove the blinds from their setting before cleaning them by hand, but in most cases this won't be necessary. Run a feather duster, dry towel or vacuum with a brush attachment over the slats of the blinds lightly. Remove whatever dust has collected on the surface. Any stuck-on dirt and grime that is left behind will need to be cleaned by hand. White plastic or vinyl blinds are especially bad about showing dirt and discoloration. Combine a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water. Take a microfiber towel or coarse washcloth and soak it in the soapy water solution. Wring out the excess water. The towel should be just slightly damp to help dust stick to it without wetting the blinds. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on blinds, even the synthetic types. Harsh chemicals can eat through the finish of the slats. Wooden blinds, especially, should not get too wet. Standing water can soak into the wood and cause it to warp and discolor. With one hand, take hold of the outer edge of the top blind slat. Pinch the slat damp towel and drag your hand from one end to the other, cleaning the entire length. Repeat this process with each individual slat, moving from top to bottom, left to right. Go over particularly dirty spots as many times as needed. Stop and rinse the towel after every few slats to wash away the dust and grime that has built up on it. You may be surprised how much dirt you'll pick up cleaning this way! Grip the blind slats lightly to keep from bending them out of shape.
A: Close the blinds so that the slats are facing down. Remove as much dust from the blinds as you can. Wet a towel with soap and water. Wipe down the blinds from end to end.

Long hair should be tied up high up or let down with a headband for a preppy look. The tomboy short hair should be with a headband or clip. Also nice if plain.

Problem: Article: If you are in a wheelchair or otherwise unable to do this, do not worry. Duck your head, and cover your neck to protect it from debris. Stay as low to the ground as possible. Use one arm to cover your neck and head, in case nearby objects fall on you. If possible, hold a pillow or couch cushion over your neck to protect it from debris. Hide underneath a table or desk if you are close to one when the earthquake starts. Use surrounding items such as couch cushions to cover as much of your body as possible, as earthquake movement is unpredictable and can cause many things to fall from the walls or topple over onto the floor. Use one hand to stabilize yourself and prevent yourself from being hurt. If possible, keep close to the ground in a clear space and away from furniture.
Summary: Drop onto your hands and knees. Protect your head and neck from harm. Cover your body. Hold onto something secure.

Q: Since slate tiles can vary slightly in size, it is important to do a dry run with your tiles so you know where to adjust the surface level and position of your tiles. Draw an "x" through the room with chalk. When the lines cross they will create a 90-degree angle on which you can check for even spacing. Use tile spacers during the dry run to ensure you have even spacing. If you do, you will want to reposition your layout, so that cut tiles of even width can be laid at either end. This will result in a symmetrical floor. Measure the tile to account for a one-eighth-inch (0.3-cm) grout space along the wall. You can cut slate tile with a diamond-blade wet saw, grinder or hacksaw with an abrasive blade. Place a line of chalk on them during your dry run, so that you can make this important change when you lay your mortar.
A:
Sketch a layout for the color scheme of the slate. Measure lines through the width and length of the room. Lay out your tile to figure out the best use of color. Decide if you will need to cut tile at the edges of the room. Cut tiles to fit around the edges of the room. Mark tiles that require extra thinset on the back to create an even surface.
