Q: Medicated mouthwashes or rinses can help reduce pain from cold sores inside your mouth. Look for a rinse containing an anesthetic, such as a 2% viscous solution of Lidocaine. Oral herpes can be treated with antiviral cream that prevents the herpes virus from growing. Antiviral creams stop the virus from entering new skin cells. The cream may be applied before or during an outbreak. Use one of the following antiviral creams: Docosanol (Abreva): This is available over-the-counter. Apply according to the instructions on the packaging. Penciclovir (Denavir): This cream is available by prescription only. See a doctor to for a prescription and instructions on how to use it. The typical dosage is a 1% cream applied once every two hours while you are awake, over the course of four days. Acyclovir: This is another prescription cream, typically given at a 5% concentration and used five times a day for four days. Oral antiviral medicine is an effective preventative treatment for oral herpes. Antiviral medicine may be taken either continuously or at the first sign of outbreak. It is available by prescription only, so make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options. Antiviral medications include the following: Acyclovir (Zovirax), usually taken three times a day for7-10 days. Famciclovir (Famvir), usually taken 2-3 times a day for 7-10 days. Valacyclovir (Valtrex), usually taken twice a day for 7-19 days. Exposure to sunlight can make you more susceptible to cold sore outbreaks. Additionally, some anti-viral medications or other treatments may make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Take extra care to protect your lips from the sun by using zinc oxide or a lip balm containing broad spectrum sunscreen. If you regularly experience severe outbreaks, you may need special treatment. Some people experience extremely painful, long-lasting cold sores. These can be treated by administering medication intravenously. See a doctor immediately if you have any of the following problems with your cold sores: They prevent you from eating and drinking They don't heal after two or more weeks New outbreaks occur almost continuously
A: Use a medicated mouthwash. Use a medicated cream. Take antiviral medicine. Protect your lips from sun exposure during treatment. Get treated for severe infections.

Q: Classical guitars use soft steel strings for E, A, and D as well as nylon strings for G, B, and E. This produces a warmer sound relative to other guitars. The principles for learning chords and scales are the exact same for any guitar except that the sound that is produced will be much different. Begin with the G major scale where your index finger is your first finger. The key of G starts on the third fret. The first finger uses all the strings within the second fret, the second finger uses all the strings within the third fret, third finger uses all the chords in the fourth fret, and your pinky will use all the chords in the fifth fret. Pluck each individual string with your opposite hand in the following sequence: 2, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 3, 4, and 1. Assign each string a number starting at the smallest string, closest to your feet, as one, and count each successive string upward until you get to six, the largest string. This will help you follow along as you watch others play without learning how to read music. Each finger will be assigned a string depending on the chord or scale that you're trying to play. For example, to play the g chord have your middle finger on the third fret of the 6th string, you index finger on the second fret of the fifth string, place your ring finger on the third fret of the second string, and place your pinky on the third fret of the first string. Strum all strings with your other hand to produce the g chord.
A: Know the difference between classical guitar and other guitars. Number each finger when learning chords. Number each string when learning chords.

Q: If the baseball field is new, you won't need to remove old chalk lines. In most cases, though, you'll need to use a shovel to remove the ragged, distorted chalk lines that were laid down previously. The best shovel will have a straight lip, though a curved or pointed lip shovel will do. Simply scrape the shovel back and forth across the chalk lines until the chalk is blended into the surrounding clay. Removing old chalk lines will prevent a buildup from forming down the middle of the line. Drive a stake into the ground at the pointed end of the home plate (where the catcher squats). Tie a string to it and line it up with the edge of the plate that leads to first base. When you arrive at the rear edge of the base, tie the end to another stake and drive it into the ground. The string will measure 90 feet (27.4 m). Tie another string to the stake you've already placed at the pointed corner of home plate. Draw it parallel to the edge of the plate that leads toward third base. When you reach the back edge of third base, tie the string to another stake and drive it into the ground. Like the first baseline, the third baseline will measure 90 feet (27.4 m). The inside edge is the edge closest to the pitcher's mound. Move in a straight lines from home plate to the two bases. Chalk lines are typically two-inches (5 cm) wide, but you could make the lines four inched (10 cm) wide if you wish. A wider line will require more chalk, but will increase visibility. If you're applying chalk to a field that will be used in competitive play, there might be regulations you'll need to follow regarding the width of the lines, so consult your league handbook for more information. The batter's boxes are located on either side of the home plate. A template is like a big cookie cutter in the shape of a batter's box. Just line the template up with home base, then apply chalk along the inside of the template. Marking chalk is commonly sold at sporting goods stores in 50-pound bags. You will not need more than 25 pounds (11 kilograms) of marking chalk to chalk a baseball field. Store marking chalk in a cool, dry place between uses to prevent it from clumping. If the dirt or clay is wet, the chalk settles and clumps together. Avoid applying chalk immediately after it rains or after the field's sprinkler system was used. If you chalk the field long before the game begins, players might disturb the chalk lines during warm-ups. The final chalking should take place between warm-ups and the first pitch.
A:
Remove old chalk by scraping it off with a shovel. Connect a string from the home plate to the rear edge of first base. Connect a string from the rear point at home plate to the back of third base. Apply chalk along the inner edges of the strings you've laid. Make chalk lines two inches (5 cm) wide. Use a template to chalk out the batter's boxes. Buy chalk online or at your local sporting goods store. Apply chalk when the ground is dry. Avoid chalking the field too soon before a game.
