Problem: Article: If you are stuck without a measuring device, it can be useful to have some visual aids in your head as a reference for the correct amount. Here are some good ones to remember: A teaspoon is about the size of the tip of your finger A tablespoon is about the size of an ice cube 1/4 cup is about the size of a large egg 1/2 cup is about the size of a tennis ball A full cup is about the size of a baseball, an apple or a fist Ideally, you would use your hands as they can be cupped to create a rounded shape. However, this may not be appropriate for sticky liquids. Try to select a transparent vessel that you can easily imagine your visual aid just fitting into. For example, if you are measuring a 1/4 cup, it may be useful to use a tall glass that an egg would just fit into. A wider glass, on the other hand, may be more appropriate for a 1/2 or full cup. This will help you to clearly see the amount being poured. Pour the fluid slowly into your vessel. When you think you may have the right amount, stop and compare it to the size of your visual aid. Make adjustments to the amount in the vessel if necessary. This will make future estimations easier, as it provides you with a point of reference. It is helpful to continue using the same vessels for the certain measurements (e.g. the tall glass again for a 1/4 cup).
Summary: Use an object as a reference point. Choose an appropriate vessel to pour your liquid into. Place your vessel on a flat surface and bring yourself down to eye level. Take a look at the amount of fluid in the vessel and commit it to memory.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most concerts are outside and it won't be fun if you don't come prepared and it is raining while you didn't bring a raincoat. Listen to the radio, watch the weather forecast on TV or even check the internet. Check that everyone is coming and no one has anything to do that day or that they are ill. This means that you and your friends can sort out how much money they need to bring and that they know what transport you are getting to the concert e.g train, bus, car. If A teacher and students are coming with you, pick your best friend to stay with when the teacher is unavailable. The venue website can also update you of changes. Some bands actually go on stage at the time indicated on the ticket. There might be opening acts before the main artist performs, but don't arrive too late. Country bands, adult contemporary artist and more family oriented events will start closer to the ticket time or at the ticket time. Some concerts and bands have a fan base which likes to tailgate (huge parking lot party) before the show. The venue can tell you if this is expected for the show you are attending. These festivities can start in the morning and go until show time. Plan to leave early, take food, beverage, toilet paper and a change of clothes. Don't leave your belongings unattended or your car unlocked. Make a schedule and share it with anyone attending with you. Plan your wardrobe ahead of time Withdraw a reasonable amount of cash from the ATM. Pack your tickets, ID, money, cell phone, camera (if allowed), parking passes or any other confirmations. Try to eat before you leave since food at concert venues is usually poor quality or very expensive. Once you have your tickets, you may be surprised by the number of people going who you know. Usually, the larger the group the better, and this cuts down on parking fees, gas, etc. Arrange a neutral meeting place, perhaps someone's house with adequate parking and centrally located. Determine a mutually agreeable time to meet for the carpool. Habitually late friends should be told an earlier time. Larger cities offer mass transit to the venue. Leave early enough to avoid the rush just before show time. Dress in layers and consider a light jacket if it's cold. If you are attending at an outdoor venue then consider the weather in advance. The chances are that you will be standing around for a great deal of time waiting for something to happen. Avoid wearing high heels or sandals. These will feel very uncomfortable as you are standing up for most of the day. High heels will give you a risk you having a twisted ankle. Sandals won't give you a broken ankle but you will still feel uncomfortable or have your toes trodden on. Trainers or sneakers are the best to wear for the concert. If you bring a jumper or coat these should be stored in the cloakroom facility as it is too hot to wear. If you are female, try not to wear anything that might get sexual attention if you don't want it, it's honestly not your fault if you do, just a extremely handy tip. Avoid wearing too much makeup. This won't look great if you are crying or sweating. Sometimes the place of concert can get very hot. If possible don't wear it at all. If you don't feel comfortable without it, then just wear waterproof products and use a little bit. Not all venues have coat checks and the ones that do may be very busy before an after the show. It's best you bring something manageable. Assume your bag will be searched upon entering the venue. Some bands and venues also have attendees patted down or frisked for weapons or prohibited items. They will have women pat down women and men for checking other men. Listen to instructions on the way in and the process should only take a few seconds. Hide your camera if you forgot to leave it in the car. Try to carry a bag that is easy to manage while at the show. The less you carry, the better. Bags should be worn over your head or easily fit between feet on the floor. The best bags close completely to avoid being picked as you walk through the crowd. Should you leave your seat for any reason you may be asked to show your ticket to return. You also may be subject to ticket searches once you have already been seated. If you often leave your seats to mosh, dance, cruise the crowd, etc., store your items in pockets or with a friend and leave your bag at home. You will not be admitted with it and thrown out if you are caught with it. Some larger, international bands have started prohibiting phones in concerts because of the video and camera options. Check with the venue or artist sites for any drastic bans on items. Smoking is prohibited in most venues. Some offer exterior or smoking areas. Be considerate and observe the rules regardless of the behavior of those around you.

SUMMARY: Check the weather forecast. Call your friends. Determine the start time of the show by checking your ticket. Coordinate your departure time allowing for traffic. Coordinate supplies or items you will need in advance. Carpool or "caravan". Dress appropriately for the weather but assume the interior of the venue will become quite warm. Be ready for some searching and frisk. Keep your ticket on your person at all times. Leave your food and beverage at home. Know what's not permitted.
