Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Think about your boyfriend's hobbies and interests. Listen for hints. Ask his friends and family. Consult your own group of friends. Ask your boyfriend for ideas.

Answer: Put yourself in his shoes. Think about what he might buy for himself if he had the money and wanted to treat himself. People who do this tend to give gifts that the recipient loves more often than people who don't try seeing things from another point of view. Think about what he does in his spare time or the sorts of things he reads or watches. Anything that helps him pursue these is sure to make him smile. He knows his birthday is coming up and that you're obligated to get him something just as well as you do. He'll probably try to help you out by dropping some hints into your normal conversations. Expect to start hearing hints about three or four weeks before his birthday comes. If he brings something up multiple times, it's something you should definitely investigate further. Some hints can be subtle. Instead out saying that he'd really like it if someone got him the boxed set of his favorite TV series, he might say something like, "I saw this box set came out a few weeks ago. It looked really cool!" He may be more comfortable talking about what he wants for his birthday with his friends and family than he is with you. Talk to them when your boyfriend isn't around to see if they have any ideas that might help. If you decide to go with something that they mention, make sure to ask them to keep it a secret. Your boyfriend is probably around your friends a lot of the time. If you're feeling stressed about how to get your boyfriend a birthday present he'll love, ask your friends for some advice. They will be able to offer some helpful insight into what types of gifts their boyfriends have appreciated and what might be something nice to get for yours. You shouldn't do this if your friends don't know your boyfriend at all. You can still ask them for advice, but take it with a grain of salt. Not everyone can be psychic when it comes to knowing what people want for their birthday. If you're really feeling frazzled and can't think of anything good, just ask your boyfriend for some suggestions. He won't mind that you needed a little help from him. In fact, gifts that people ask for often end up being the most appreciated ones. For example, you can ask him for a birthday wish list, then buy 1 or 2 items off of that list. Alternatively, you can ask him what sort of things he'd like to get (such as winter accessories), then use what you know about him to fill in the details (like color and pattern).

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain a copy of your credit reports. Review credit reports for inaccuracies. Reduce your credit card balances. Negotiate with your lenders. Ask for a credit limit increase. Pay your bills on time. Leave good debt on your credit score.

Answer: While obtaining a home equity loan with poor credit is possible, taking some time to improve your credit can go a long way in not only increasing your odds of approval, but also getting a better rate. Checking your credit report allows you to see how bad your credit is. Generally, it is very difficult to get a home equity loan if your credit is lower than 620. To get your free credit report, visit annualcreditreport.com. This site allows you to get one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three credit bureaus -- Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. It is recommended you get one report from each bureau, since they all present information in different ways. Your credit report will include a record of all your credit inquiries and credit accounts. You will sometimes be asked to pay a small additional fee to see your credit score, but free sites do exist. After you get it, it is important to understand your credit score. If you cannot afford the small fee, search Google for "credit score estimator tool" and there are many online tools to estimate your credit score using information from your credit report. myBankrate.com also offers free credit reports and scores. Inaccurate or missing information in your credit report can reduce your credit score, and mistakes are more common than you would imagine. Periodically review your credit report and report any errors to the credit reporting company. Be sure to look over your credit report before applying for a home equity loan to increase your chance of approval and get the best possible rates. Check for credit you did not apply for, other peoples debts that are reported on yours inaccurately, or bad debts from your spouse. Check for old credit inquiries. When you apply for credit and your credit report is checked, it harms your credit score. However, these inquiries should not be on your report for more than two years. If you filed for bankruptcy, this should no longer be on your report after ten years. The lower your credit card balance is, the better your credit score will be. Pay off credit card debt as quickly as possible and your credit score will improve as a result. In addition, your odds of getting improved for a home equity improve the lower your debt is -- lenders take into account how much debt you have relative to income. Don't cancel your cards, having less available credit will hurt your score even further. If necessary, stop using your credit cards until you can pay off debt. If you stopped paying a particular debt, or had a debt sent to collections you can always ask your lender to erase that debt or any account that went to collections in exchange for paying the remaining balance. If you were a good customer prior to the period of poor payment, and you can link the poor payment to a specific reason (like becoming unemployed), the lender may agree to have the bad debt removed from your credit report in exchange for paying the balance (or some of the balance). Contact your lender to discuss this option. One of the ways your credit score is determined is by looking at how much of your available credit you have used. The lower the number, the better. Therefore, by increasing your credit limit (at the same time as you focus on reducing your balances), you can have less of your available credit used. The very important point here is that you do not use the additional credit. If you do, you may end up worsening your credit score. This includes more than just credit cards and loans. Pay your utility bills and other similar bills on time too: they can all affect your credit score. Many utility providers offer an auto-payment option which will help you pay your bills on time. Alternatively, use an electronic calendar or reminder system, or make notes on your planner. A record of good payment history makes up 35% of your credit score. "Good debt" is any debt for which you made all payments on time. Some people have the idea that once a loan is settled, it is beneficial to remove it from your credit score. This is not the case for good debt, which can actually benefit your credit score.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a door assembly rated to withstand tornadoes. Measure and mark the size of the door frame on the open stud wall. Cut away the studs with a circular saw to fit the door frame. Install the door in the opening according to the manufacturer's directions. Cover the open wall with steel sheets and 2 layers of plywood.

Answer:
A door failure can lead to serious injury or death during a catastrophe. Choose a door assembly that includes locks, hinges, frame, and attachment devices that have been tested to withstand the wind, pressure, and impact of serious storms like tornadoes and hurricanes. Storm shelter doors are heavy and expensive, but common steel doors that are often used in residential and commercial construction can't withstand the impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. You may be able to find storm-rated doors at home improvement or hardware stores, but you may need to go online to order a specialized storm room door. Use the measurements of the door you plan to install so you can create an opening that will fit the frame. Measure your door with a ruler or tape measure, then measure the height and width on the studs of the open wall. Use a pencil or marker to mark where you need to cut away the studs. Make sure the door frame is at least 7 feet (2.1m) tall so you can fit through it. Cut evenly along the lines that you marked on the studs to fit your door frame. Remove just enough of the studs to accommodate your door frame. You can lightly sand the cut edges of the studs with 180-grit sandpaper if they're jagged or uneven. Position the frame in the opening and then nail it into place with casing nails. Then, install the door by attaching the hinges to the frames as directed by the manufacturer's directions. Make sure the door is level and the hinges are secure in the frame. Install any additional specialized attachment pieces that are directed. Use any screws or nails that are included in the door assembly. Open and close the door to make sure it's working properly. Use a level to make sure the frame of the door is even. Once the door is installed, place steel sheets over the open studs and secure them by driving #10X2-inch (#10X5.2 cm) screws into each of the corners. Then, cover the sheets with plywood and drive #10X2-inch (#10X5.2 cm) screws through them into the wooden studs to secure them. Install an additional layer of plywood to complete the wall.
