Plant shrubs and trees with plenty of vertical branches for nesting. Grow nesting plants that are 5 ft (1.5 m) tall or higher. Plant thistle and tall grasses for nesting material. Grow colorful flowers Add a birdbath to provide fresh water in your yard.

Yellow finches make their nests near the tops of these plants. They prefer spots where 2 or 3 branches fork, forming a bowl that provides plenty of support for a new nest. These spots are usually covered from above by a cluster of leaves or needles but visible from below.  Finches often build nests among dogwoods, elderberries, buttonbushes, hawthorns, Monterey pines, willows, fruit trees, and even tall thistles. Watch areas that already have these sorts of trees and shrubs. You may be able to spot some finches without putting these plants directly on your property. The best areas are large and secluded with lots of sunlight. Finches generally make their nests between 3 ft (0.91 m) to 10 ft (3.0 m) off the ground. It protects the nests from cats and other predators. Set your feeders near areas with taller shrubs and trees to have a better chance of attracting finches. Give new shrubs and trees plenty of space to grow. Yellow finches are easier to spot in more open spaces. Yellow finches love thistle plants, which also double as a food source. Milkweed, cattails, and cottonwood are a few other types of plants that attract finch nests. However, you may see finches in your area even if you aren't able to grow these plants. Finches are adaptable and will use other material they find as needed. Many types of thistle grow quickly and are considered invasive. Check your local regulations for restrictions on growing thistle and try to choose a type that occurs naturally in your area. to serve as a bright food source. Black oil sunflowers attract many types of birds, including finches. Yellow finches also eat seeds from asters, purple coneflowers, and black-eyed Susans. Other colorful flowers, including daisies, cosmos, marigolds, poppies, and zinnias, are like beacons for these birds.  Some people swear by yellow flowers. While they do attract finches, birds have sharp eyes capable of noticing any type of bright color. Don't deadhead these flowers after their blooms fade. Finches feed on seeds from marigolds,...

Purchase a betta fish. Introduce the fish to the tank. Change the tank water when necessary. Clean the tank regularly.

It's best not to actually bring a fish home until your tank is set up, cycled and ready to go. That way you'll be able to help the betta make the transition to its new home as soon as possible. Go to the pet store and choose a new betta to bring home. Remember, every betta needs its own tank; even females.  Look for an active, healthy betta with a brightly-colored body and undamaged fins. If a betta seems to be floating aimlessly, it may be sick. Choose a one that swims strongly. Float the bag or cup in the tank for twenty minutes to an hour. Keep the bag closed and set the bagged betta into the tank so that the water inside the bag comes to the same temperature as the tank water. This will prevent the betta from getting a temperature shock when it enters the tank. After about one hour, it's time to release the fish. Open the bag and let the fish swim freely into the tank. From now on, care for the betta as follows:  Feed the betta once or twice a day. Provide a varied diet of high-quality betta pellets, frozen & live foods.  Freeze-dried foods are more likely to cause boating and it has little to no nutritional value, it should be used as an occasional bi-weekly treat or rightfully avoided. Do not overfeed, or your betta will become very bloated. If you have a tank that is 5 to 10 gallons (18.9 to 37.9 L), you will need to change out 25% percent of the water every week to maintain a healthy tank. To change the water,  Use a gravel vacuum/siphon to suck debris up into a bucket until you have removed the correct amount of water. You do not need to remove your fish from the tank as you clean it. Dump the water out into the sink, bathtub, or shower and fill it up with clean water. Remember to condition it! Pour in the fresh water. Reintroduce your betta to the tank after the water has heated to the correct temperature. Your cleaning method will depend on the type and size of your chosen tank. Scrub the sides of the tank and any decorations that have collected waste and debris with an unused toothbrush.  Use...

Let your chicks explore outside after a couple of weeks. Provide a tub of sand for your chicks. Give your chicks more space when they are 3 weeks old. Introduce them to your other adult birds when the are 5 weeks old.

Put the chicks (and the hen, if she is living with them) in an outdoor cage and then watch them dig for bugs, dust bathe in dirt/sand and explore the new environment. Be cautious and make sure they cannot get out. To be sure, watch them for a minute or two to see how they adapt to their surroundings. If you're not watching them, put a tarpaulin on top of the cage so no birds will attack/scare them. Make sure to weight down the blanket with something heavy (like bricks) so the wind won't blow it away. After they are a couple weeks old, place a small, shallow tub in their enclosure. Fill the tub with sand. They will soon begin dust bathing, a ritual quail really love. Dust bathing also prevents mites, lice and other nasty parasites. Quail chicks grow fast, so you will soon see that they will need more space. Keep your chicks isolated, but move them to a bigger brooder when they reach 3 weeks of age. The chicks will need twice as much space at 3 weeks: about 1 sq ft (930 cm2) per chick. Once the chicks have most of their feathers, they are ready to be put outside with other adult birds. If these will be your first outdoor birds, build them a quail habitat in your yard.

If you're calling Brazil frequently,

Use an Internet-based application. Video chat instead. Buy an international calling card.

VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) applications allow you to make international calls for much cheaper than through your phone provider. All you need is a computer, tablet or smart phone, and an Internet connection.  Popular applications include Skype, Google+ Hangouts, Viber, and Jitsi.  If you call Brazil often, check to see if your VoIP app offers subscriptions, or monthly flat rates for a predetermined amount of minutes in calls to Brazil. This can significantly reduce your per-minute VoIP costs. If you're calling someone you know, you might consider asking them to video chat with you instead. Many social media sites and applications (including Google+ Hangouts and Skype) provide free video chat services. In the same vein, many applications (Whatsapp, Skype, Facebook) allow for free calls within the applications — meaning that you'd need an Internet connection on both your end and the receiver's end to make the call. If you have no Internet connection, but you have a landline with free local minutes, a calling card is likely your best option. Calling cards vary greatly in rates and hidden fees. Look for a calling card that offers simple, straightforward pricing and few hidden and/or extra fees. Popular calling cards include Pingo, EnjoyPrepaid, Comfi, Nobelcom, and CallingCards. Unless your mobile phone has unlimited minutes, a calling card is likely not your best option, as you will end up paying for your mobile minutes on top of the calling card minutes: if your mobile phone provider charges you 25 cents per minute and the calling card costs you an additional 2 cents per minute, you'll pay at least 27 cents per minute (not including any connection fees or hidden costs you may need to pay through the calling card).

Use pre-cut cable or spools or 500 or 100 foot (152.4 or 30.5 m) combo video (BNC Connection) / Power RG59 Siamese Coax Cable. Designate one location for your DVR and Monitor to be stationed and be sure you have enough wire to connect the DVR to the camera (leave some slack). If you purchased a pre-made RG59 cable with the BNC connections already attached to the line, then at this point you would connect it to the DVR.

All CCTV security cameras need both power and video (2 in one cable), so you can run just one cable from the DVR to each camera. You can run each camera's cable up to 700 feet (213.4 m) without any video loss. Simply connect the video cable to the DVR (it says BNC), and plug the power into the power supply RG59 Siamese Cable. It is the type of cable used to run most CCTV installs. This cable consists of one video cable and one power cable (positive and negative), thus the name siamese. Designate the location for your DVR and Monitor to be stationed. If you purchased a bulk roll of RG59, ask if the company will automatically supply the BNC connections free of charge. You may use twist-ons (most commonly used), or crimp on connections.

The app will show a yellow box and all you need to do is line your document up within the yellow box. When it’s aligned, press the camera button to take a photo. The app will automatically correct for any tilting. You can take multiple scans in a row. After you tap “Keep Scan,” it returns to the scanning page so you can keep working. Tap “Save” once you are done to return to your main documents page. You can edit photos from the app by clicking on the scanned image. You can crop and change color and orientation, and you can share the photo directly from the Notes app. Download the app, which is free to all users. Once it has downloaded, you are ready to open the app and start scanning!   With the app open, point the camera at the photo you want to capture. The app will augment 4 dots over the image and will direct you to hold the camera over each dot for several moments. This won’t take more than 2 minutes, if that. This app detects the edges of the photo for you automatically so you don’t have to worry about cropping. The app will remove any glare for you automatically, so you can start taking photos without much prep work. The app will combine the photos you took from each augmented circle and will create a single, glare-free image. These other apps provide similar services, like automatic cropping, editing capabilities, and perspective correction. If you have an iPhone with an older operating system, these options could come in handy!   Some apps to check out are Photomyne, TurboScan or Shoebox. Some of these do cost money ($1.99 to $4.99), so check out their functions carefully to make sure they’ll meet your needs before committing to one. Once you choose an app to use, download it from your phone’s app store and follow the guide it gives you when you first open it. Most apps give step-by-step instructions...

Be aware of the professional/ethical hazards of buying popularity. Consider purchasing more likes. Consider paying for followers.

It should go without saying that paying for likes or followers is usually seen as a shallow, borderline-unethical thing to do by most Instagram users. It's sometimes described as "cheating" one's way to visibility by using one's wealth (and not one's creativity) to achieve popularity. In addition, it can sometimes be a professional liability — some companies may be hesitant to endorse or partner with Instagrammers who became popular by paying for it. Be aware that it's not always hard for followers to figure out that you are buying likes or followers, especially if you buy a lot. If you're looking for it, it's easy to notice a sudden enormous upsurge in someone's likes. If you're caught in the act, you may lose the favor of some of your "real" fans. If you're absolutely desperate to get likes fast, there's a market on the internet to meet your need. Try doing a search engine query for "buy Instagram likes" or similar terms — it shouldn't be hard to find relevant results. There are a variety of services that offer instant likes for a fee. Many offer different packages that you can choose from, depending on how many likes you want.  Note that, typically, in order for this set-up to work, you'll need to make sure that your Instagram account is not private. In general, buying likes in bulk gets you the best value per like, just like buying goods in the real world. It's also possible to buy large numbers of followers at once to instantly boost your Instagram visibility. Typically, the followers you buy will be "bots" (profiles created and run automatically by computer programs), but depending on the service you use, these "fake" followers may still be able to like your posts.

Check the forecast. Pay attention to posted warnings. Talk to the lifeguard. Know how to identify a rip current. Look up example images online. Stay away from structures that extend away from the beach.

In the U.S., The National Weather Service website posts rip current predictions for select beaches. In most other countries, the weather forecast near popular beach destinations will include a surf forecast. Rip currents can appear even on a calm day, but they are more dangerous when waves are high.  Distant hurricanes can contribute to "flash rip currents," short-lived and unpredictable events. Hurricane warning centers may post rip current warnings for some areas, even if they do not experience any other effects of the storm. Consider checking the tide forecast as well. Rip currents tend to be strongest within a couple hours before and after a low tide. When you arrive at the beach, look for posted warning signs. If you are a weak swimmer or if there are no lifeguards on duty, you may want to avoid the water entirely on high risk days. Rip currents can occur in any conditions, but the warning signs give you a good estimate of risk. Some warnings are posted using this international flag system:  Yellow: moderate surf or currents. Weak swimmers discouraged from entering water. Red: strong surf or currents. All swimmers discouraged. Two red flags: beach closed to swimmers. Red and white checkers: emergency evacuation. Two flags, each one half red and half yellow: the area between these flags is supervised by lifeguards. Swimmers should not leave these bounds. Lifeguards may know where rip currents are likely to form, and whether there have been any today. Don't hesitate to ask for advice. Lifeguards may also issue warnings when a rip current is sighted, or ask swimmers to steer clear of a dangerous area. Pay attention to them. There are a number of ways you can identify a possible rip current without actually getting in it. A rip current is a relatively narrow channel of water, seldom more than 50–100 feet (15.2–30.5 m) in width, usually running from the beach straight out to the sea. Since you cannot see the whole shape of the current from the shore, look for a streak of water with one or more of these...

Though you can do all the legal work yourself, hiring a lawyer makes sure you are compliant with the law in every aspect. Ask around for a competent business lawyer to help with your business. Your business structure is how you legally file your business. You have several options, including a sole proprietorship, partnership, and a LLC. You file these documents with your state, generally accompanied by a filing fee.  A sole proprietorship means you own the company by yourself, and you are held responsible for any debts the company incurs from your personal property. The benefit is it can be less paperwork. Partnerships generally work the same way but with more people, though sometimes they work more like a limited liability company.  A limited liability company (LLC) means that you are separated from your company and its debts. In other words, the assets that you own personally cannot be seized to pay the company's debts, usually, as long as you are abiding by the law. You need this number for tax purposes with the federal government, though it's not an absolute necessity with a sole proprietorship. Nonetheless, it's good to have because it gives you a number besides your Social Security Number to use for tax purposes. To apply for this number, visit the IRS website. The application is fairly simple, and you'll receive a number fast. Your city or state may require certain licenses or permits for you to run your business. Check state and local laws to figure out what you need to do. You can also go to the city clerk office to find out more. Most of the time, you will be able to run a lawn business out of your home, since you will not have customers visiting there. Nonetheless, check with your city to see if it has any special ordinances. You'll also need to decide where to target your business.

Consume antioxidant-rich foods. Exercise. Stop smoking.

Eating a healthy diet in general can improve the strength of your lungs, and foods that are high in antioxidants are especially beneficial. Antioxidants have been shown to enhance lung capacity and improve the quality of breathing in patients. Blueberries, broccoli, spinach, grapes, sweet potatoes, green tea, and fish in particularly are high in anti-oxidants. Regular exercise will help keep your lungs working to their strongest capacity. You should aim for either;  At least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (like walking, swimming or golf), four to five times a week.  OR At least 25 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity (like jogging/running, biking or playing basketball) at least three days per week. Smoking tobacco is one of the leading causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking can also cause emphysema and lung cancer. The toxins from cigarettes can cause damaging inflammation in the bronchus, making it difficult to breathe.  To protect your lungs, do not use smokeless tobacco products such as chewing tobacco or snuff. These increase your risk of mouth cancer, as well as gum disease, tooth decay, and pancreatic cancer.  E-cigarettes may also be dangerous to your lung health  New studies have found that some companies use a  flavouring in e-cigarettes which comes from a toxic chemical called Diacetyl. This chemical has been linked to constrictive bronchiolitis, a rare and life-threatening form of non-reversible obstructive lung disease in which the bronchioles are compressed and narrowed by scar tissue and/or inflammation.  To detox your lungs, don't use any kind of smoking or tobacco product.

Be creative in the name of God. Volunteer Visit ‘’other’’ churches. Study great Christians. Keep a faith journal.

Going to church for an hour a week isn’t your “God time.” It’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So take that time and do something with it where you can channel your energy and produce something in His name. Whether it’s a painting, a song, a story, or a dish, He’d be proud.  This "creative time" is good for you, too. It can help center you, relax you, and ultimately make you feel better about your situation. We all need to destress from time to time, and this may be the push you need to feel prepared to be a better Christian. Proverbs 22:29 states, "Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men." Talk about an endorsement from the big guy upstairs! . The Bible heavily advocates helping your sisters and brothers – Hebrews 13:16 says it well: "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." And in today’s day and age, that’s easier than ever. Volunteer at soup kitchen, homeless shelter, or hospital. Work with neglected kids who need a mentor, organize your church’s next luncheon, or even walk a few dogs from the Humane Society! There are dozens of ways you can better your community in His name. This may sound a bit silly, but visiting other churches helps us understand other people, meet other Christians, and immerse ourselves in the Christian community, not just our one church. The more you learn about your faith, the stronger it'll be. Experiment with other denominations, too. An orthodox Christian church could be a fascinating experience. However, don’t shy away from the other Abrahamic religions (Islam and Judaism) either – visiting a synagogue or mosque will also be a fruitful, enlightening experience. After all, we all share the same roots! There is much to learn in the lives of those great Christians who lived before us.

To help maintain your muscle mass while in a caloric deficit, consider taking up weight training.  When in a caloric deficit, your body will burn its reserves for energy both fat as well as muscle. Ideally you want to burn fat, not muscle. Including regular strength training can help minimize the loss of lean muscle mass.  Health experts recommend including at least one to two days of strength training. Ensure that you work each major muscle group when you're exercising. Try lifting weights or using weight machines, doing yoga or pilates, or using isometric exercises to help maintain or build lean muscle mass. Cardiovascular exercise is good for overall health. However, it also helps your body burn calories and fuel weight loss.  Regular cardiovascular or aerobic exercise has been associated with a variety of health benefits in addition to weight loss. It has been shown to help improve mood, decrease your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure, helps improve circulation, and improves your energy.  Cardio is also the main form of exercise that will burn calories and help support weight loss.  The combination of a diet and physical activity is the best for weight loss.  Include 5 days of cardio for at least 30 minutes. This will help you meet the minimum guideline set of adults in the US.  Include exercises like jogging, fast walking, dancing, using the elliptical, or swimming. In addition to strength training and cardio exercises, also try to just move more or take more steps in the day. Studies have shown that lifestyle activities can also help support weight loss.  Lifestyle activities are those that you do on a normal day. These could be walking to and from destinations, taking the stairs, vacuuming the floor or mowing the lawn. Lifestyle activities burn small amounts of calories; however, if you're moving more all day long, you can make a significant impact on your weight. Try to move or walk more throughout your day.

You should get about 20 small cubes of cheese. You could also use pepper jack, cheddar, or monterey jack cheese. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside. Get out a large mixing bowl and place all of the meatball ingredients in it. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture well. You'll need:  1 pound (454 g) of ground beef 3/4 cup (70 g) of plain bread crumbs 1/2 cup (50 g) of grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley 1 egg 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder 1 teaspoon of salt 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper Gather a few tablespoons of meatball mixture into a ball and press one cheese cube in the center of it. Spread the meatball mixture around the cheese, so it is encased in meat. Continue to form the stuffed meatballs until you use up the meat mixture. You should have about 20 stuffed meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. You can use spoons or a small cookie scoop to portion out the meatballs. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the stuffed meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes. The meat shouldn't be pink and should be at least 160 degrees F (70 C). Serve the stuffed meatballs right away. Don't worry if some of the cheese cooks out of the meatballs, just try to remove them from the pan immediately, so they don't stick.

Feeding a baby bird is not a good idea.
The first thing you need to do is to find out what kind of bird it is.
If you have a large social network on Facebook or Twitter, you can also try posting a picture of the baby bird and asking for help with an identification.
When

Do not give a nestling water. Identify the bird's species. Feed songbirds appropriately. Feed seed eaters the right food. Feed meat eaters the right food. Avoid mixing batches of food more than a day ahead of time.

A bird's larynx is poorly protected, so a bird can drown if you put water into its mouth. Birds get plenty of water through the appropriate food source for their species, so it is not necessary to supplement their diet with water. Doing so can be fatal. Before you can feed a nestling, you need to know what kind of bird it is. Different types of birds eat different types of food. For example, some birds eat only seeds, while others eat only insects and worms. Other birds, like vultures, are meat-eaters. If you feed a seed-eater a diet of worms, he will die. It is very important to identify the species before attempting an emergency feeding.  For help identifying your bird's species, visit http://www.babybirdid.com/, where you can view a gallery of images of common nestlings. If you have a large social network on Facebook or Twitter, you can also try posting a picture of the baby bird and asking for help with an identification. When you get a response, be sure to do a Google image search to verify that the identification is correct. Once you have identified the bird, you need to search the internet or a reliable reference book for information about that species' diet. For example, if you have found a baby chickadee, an internet search for "what do chickadees eat" or "chickadee diet" will tell you that they mostly eat insects but also like some seeds. Songbirds are the most typical kind of bird you'll encounter. Most songbird nestlings eat insects, but some, like house finches, don't.  For insect eaters: chopped mealworms (available at pet stores) or insects like flies, crickets, grasshoppers, and moths. You can supplement the insects with chopped, cooked, and cooled to room temperature hard-boiled eggs. Seed eaters tend to be the smaller birds (sparrows, chickadees, doves, etc). Feed seed-eaters high protein dry infant cereal mixed with water (for example, Gerber brand baby oatmeal), wheat germ, corn or oatmeal that has been powdered in the blender. Meat-eating birds tend to be the biggest ones, birds of prey...

Stand in front of a mirror with your jump rope. Step on your jump rope with one foot. Check the location of your handles in the mirror. Take note of how much length will need to be removed.

You do not need to be able to see your whole body, just the upper half. Hold both jump rope handles in one hand and use your other hand to unwind your jump rope and straighten it out completely so that it touches the ground. Make sure that your foot is on the center of your jump rope. Pull on your rope handles and check the alignment of your handles to see if they are even. If they are not even, lift up your foot slightly and adjust the rope until your handles are even. Hold up both jump rope handles as high as they will go. Both handles should be vertical and the rope should be taut. Look and see where the tops of your handles align with your body. If the rope is above your shoulder line, then it is too long and you will need to adjust it.    For beginners, the tops of your rope handles should be just below your shoulder line but above your armpit. This length is ideal for kids and beginners because it will swing around more slowly than a shorter rope. For fitness jumpers, the tops of your rope handles should be aligned with your armpit. This length is ideal for fitness jumpers because your rope will move quickly and it will be easier to control than the longer length. This length is also ideal for doing double unders, which is known as one of the most difficult CrossFit moves. Double unders are easier if your rope is well-sized   For experienced speed jumpers, the tops of your rope handles should be an inch or two below your armpits.This length is ideal for speed jumpers because your rope will move quickly with less effort and it will be easier to control. If you have a ruler handy and you want to be extremely precise, you can measure the distance from the tops of your handles to their ideal placement. Otherwise, you can just eyeball it.

Be aware of urinating more than eight times during the day. Expect more frequent urination if you are older. Be mindful that medications and diuretics can affect urination frequency. Be aware of volume. Calculate your appropriate fluid intake.

The average person urinates about six to seven times in a 24-hour period. It is still normal to urinate eight times during the day and once during the night. Urinating more than twice during the night is not normal, however. The average person does not urinate more than two cups every two hours, or more than 10 times after drinking two liters. As you get older, the tissues in your bladder become tough, and as a result, are less flexible. Additionally, you bladder muscles get weaker as you age. Combined, these factors can cause older individuals, i.e., 55 years and older, to urinate more frequently. Contact a doctor if you urinate more than twice during the night. If you are taking medications, consider the effects these medications can have on your urination frequency. Double-check the side effects with your doctor. Additionally, diuretics like caffeine can irritate your bladder causing you to urinate frequently.  By reducing your caffeine intake, you can reduce your urination frequency. Alcohol is also a bladder irritant that can cause you to urinate frequently. While you are tracking the frequency of your trips to the bathroom, you should also be tracking the volume of urine you produce. If you are urinating more than 2.5 liters (2,500 cc or ml) per day, then you may have an excessive amount of urine, known as polyuria. This should be addressed by your doctor, as the underlying cause could be serious (such as diabetes or kidney problems). Drinking too much water, juice, and other liquids relative to your size may also cause you to urinate frequently. The amount of liquids you should drink per day depends on your weight. Calculate your appropriate fluid intake by multiplying your weight by 0.5. The number you arrive it is how many ounces you should be drinking per day.  For example, if you weigh 120 pounds, then multiply 120 by 0.5. This equals 60. Therefore, you should be drinking 60 ounces of liquids per day. If you work out, add 12 ounces of liquids for every 30 minutes you exercise. So if the person in...

Determine if your dog is still up to breed standards. Evaluate the litter sizes. Determine if the dog is still interested in mating.

As your dog ages, keep a critical eye on him and evaluate him frequently. You should make sure the dog continues to adhere to breed standards. If your dog is not up to standards, he should not be bred. For example, your dog’s coat should stay a certain way, and his gait should be up to par. These things may deteriorate with age and may affect the dog’s breeding. If your male dog has produced a smaller litter size than you expected, it may be time to stop breeding him. This can be an indication of a fertility problem with your male dog.  You can compare the litter sizes to previous sizes of litters your dog has sired. If your dog hasn’t sired many different litters, you can compare the litter size to litters from other dogs of the same breed. Some male dogs can experience hormonal changes, which can affect their reproduction. Due to these hormonal changes, your male dog may no longer be interested in mating with females in heat.

Learn about local restaurant culture. Get seated in a restaurant. Ask for a menu or for the daily specials. Order drinks. Ordering your meal. Pay for your meal.

Every country has different customs restaurants or food stands. Learning about food and restaurant culture will help you avoid unpleasant situations or offending people.  Europeans generally spend more time in restaurants enjoying the food and conversations than eating quickly and leaving. It’s thus not uncommon to wait longer for servers to arrive at your table, take orders, deliver food, or collect your payment.  There are still many places that do not take credit cards, so always make sure you have enough cash. Tipping is generally 5-10%.  If you want to get your server’s attention, put your hand up in the air and make eye contact. It’s not uncommon to sit at a table with people you don’t know, especially in traditional restaurants (called Gaststätten) or beer gardens (Biergarten). If you find a restaurant that looks nice and you decide to try it out, it may or may not have a host who seats you. Either way, there are a couple of useful phrases that will help you find a seat in any location.  Remember that it’s not uncommon to be seated with people you don’t know, especially if the restaurant has longer family-style table. If you’re in a restaurant with a host or hostess, ask for a table by saying “Ein Tisch für zwei, bitte” (Table for two, please.). If you’re in a restaurant or at a food stand and want to know if a table or space is free, you can ask a server or the people at the next table/ seat “Sind diese Plätze noch frei” (Are these seats taken?) or “ist hier noch frei” (is this available?). If you need a menu or are just interested in the daily specials that many restaurants in German-speaking offer, you can ask your server, the host/ hostess, or the bartender.  If you want to see a regular menu, ask “Kann ich die Speisekarte bitte anschauen?” (May I see the menu?”). If you are interested in daily specials, which are often local specialties, you can ask your server “Gibt es eine Tageskarte?” (Are there daily specials?).

A colder temperature means your tankless heater needs to work harder to provide your water because it requires a greater temperature rise. There are many online calculators to help you with this step of the process. It is important that a tankless water heater works within its capacity so you need to know your required flow rate (gpm) and your temperature rise (which is the difference between your inlet or incoming water temperature and outlet temperature or the desired temperature of hot water)  Automatic sensors that detect carbon monoxide and automatically shut down the system when the heat exchanger overheats should be on any model you consider.

Judge your own strengths. Try the song out with your group. Pick a song you’re comfortable with.

If you have a powerful voice, a rock song or ballad that lets you show off your range is a great decision. Try, “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars or “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele. If your voice is soft, try a song that doesn’t require you to “belt it out,” like “Don’t Know Why” by Norah Jones. If you don’t know your strengths yet, ask for feedback from friends or any musicians or singers you know.  Alternatively, try recording yourself. Even though you already listen to yourself when you sing, listening to a recording is a little different because you’re not busy singing and you can really pay attention. Remember that you are your worst critic, so try and go easy on yourself while still being honest about whether you’re straining to hit notes or having trouble breathing. If you are performing as part of a band, duet, or ensemble, it is equally important that the band and other singers perform the song well. If one of you is out of tune or doesn’t play the music correctly, the audience and judges will probably notice. Popular duet songs include, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat.  You can also turn a song into a duet or ensemble piece by having different people sing different verses or parts of the chorus. Be creative and have fun! Singing in front of people can be tough and your song choice can make it tougher. No matter what anyone else says, if you don’t feel comfortable, cannot hit the notes, or just don’t like the song, it will show through to the judges and the audience. Pick something you feel great performing and chances are - you’ll look and sound great, too!

Find vegetarian recipes that interest you. Start shopping like a vegetarian. Learn to read labels with care. Research your nutritional needs. Eat seasonally.

Both vegetarian cookbooks and online sites devoted to vegetarian recipes will provide you with lots of great inspiration. Vegetarian dining is a great way to try lots of new foods that you may not have thought about before. In some places, there are vegetarian fairs or festivals that you can attend and try all sorts of different new foods.  If you really like a particular dish at a vegetarian restaurant, ask for the recipe. If they're willing to share it with you, it might become a regular favorite dish at home. Ask your vegetarian friends to share their favorite recipes with you. You'll find a wide variety of vegetarian food available once you start searching for it specifically in grocery stores, health food stores, and farmer's markets. When you stop putting meat in your shopping basket, a new world of possibilities opens up. Try the following foods:  Look for unique fruits and vegetables such as starfruit, pomegranate, grapefruit and other less well known foods. Quorn is a fantastic meal choice, quick to cook and full of protein. It comes in different varieties of meat free meat dishes. It should be available in most supermarkets. Look in your grain aisle for new grains like orzo, quinoa, couscous, barley, millet, alfalfa and others. They are all delicious.  You'll also find that most supermarkets carry interesting faux meat foods, like veggie dogs, veggie burgers, vegan faux chicken, and veggie riblets. Not every vegetarian likes these meat analogs; for some vegetarians the flavor is a little too meaty, or the texture is undesirable. But it's worth trying a few to see whether you like the taste and texture, as these additional foods open up many more possibilities. Try tofu, tempeh and seitan. These can be cooked in many different ways and can be used as a substitute for meat in a lot of conventional recipes. They're usually cheaper than meat analog products too, as they don't have to be shaped into anything and they don't have other ingredients added to them.

Find the rabbits. Let the dogs out. Prepare for the shot. Take the shot.

Most rabbits will be found on dry, soft land near dense brush and other cover (thickets, briars, etc.), rather than in open spaces such as fields. Forest edges near grass and new crops are a rabbit's favourite habitat. Dawn and dusk are the best times to locate rabbits. Well-trained rabbit hunting dogs will actually do most of the work when it comes to rabbit hunting. The dogs will search through briars, thickets and other areas where rabbits like to hide that would be difficult for you to search through yourself. When hunting in packs, a dog that picks up the scent of a rabbit will begin barking, signalling the other dogs to join the chase. Find an elevated spot or clearing from which you can follow the chase. Make sure to watch ahead of the lead dog, as it will be following the rabbit's scent and the rabbit will be running ahead of it. Rabbits do not stray far afield from their homes, and will eventually circle back during a chase. If the pursuit seems to be taking a long time, be patient, as the rabbit will begin to circle back to its home. When your dog(s) run the rabbit into an open area such as a trail or field, or you catch a good look at the rabbit running through brush, finish the hunt with your rifle.  If the rabbit puts enough distance between itself and the dogs, it will pause to look back. This is the most ideal situation in which to kill the rabbit. Always be aware of the location of your dogs and hunting companions, and be certain you have a clear shot before pulling the trigger.

You can use a wreath hanger to hang your wreath.
The wreath hanger is a great way to hang your wreath. It's easy to use, and it's strong enough to hold a lot of weight.
The wreath hanger is a great way to hang your wreath.

Buy a two-piece magnetic wreath hanger from your preferred retailer. Clean the part of the door where you're putting the magnets. Limit scratches by making your own magnet pads. Affix the magnets to the door and hang your wreath.

You can find these online or at many home decor stores. They're little more than two hefty magnetic discs, one of which includes a hook for the wreath. Many of them are rated to hold 10 pounds (4.5 kg), which should be plenty strong for most wreaths.  For glass storm doors, you place the plain disc on the inside of the glass and the hooked disc on the outside, and their magnetic attraction holds them in place. If you're hanging your wreath from a metal part of a door, you'll only need to use the disc with the hook. It'll stick to the door just like a really strong fridge magnet! Once you've identified the spot where you want to place the wreath hanger—either by measuring or just by “eyeballing” it—clean the area thoroughly with a typical household cleaner. This will help remove any dirt particles that might get pinned against the door by the magnet and cause scratches during removal. Customer reviews for these magnets often note that they're so strong that they peel paint or cause scratches on glass when removed. To prevent this, create magnet pads out of a lightweight fabric to sandwich between the magnets and your door. To make magnet pads, trace the circular outline of the magnets on a thin fabric, like an old t-shirt. Then, simply cut out the circles. You can also stick the circles to the magnets with a small piece of double-sided tape to make things a bit easier. Open the door so you can access both the inside and the outside. With one hand, press the magnet with the hook to the door right where you want it to go. Then, use your other hand to bring the other magnet into position on the other side of the glass.  The magnets are strongly attracted to each other, so make sure you don't pinch your skin between them during application. Use your fingertips to grip around the circumference of the discs. Once the magnets are stuck together, you can hang your wreath right away.

Purchase filter cleaning chemicals to get rid of oils on the filter. Get 2 plastic containers, one of which should have a tight-fitting lid. Combine the cleaning chemicals and water in the lidded container. Submerge the filters in this solution. Remove the filter and rinse it in a bucket of clean water. Store the bucket of cleaner for later use.

Oils, such as sunscreen and perspiration, will create a visible glossy or shiny coating on the filter that can't be removed simply by spraying it off with water. To get rid of them, the filter needs to be soaked in a special cleaning solution. This cleaning solution can be purchased at a pool supply store or from online retailers. In most cases, the chemicals that get on your filter come from the people’s skin. Either perspiration or sunscreen and other skin products will be deposited on the pool filter if they are washed off the skin. You will need one with a lid to soak your filters in chemicals. The other will be used to rinse the filter. Typically, people use a large plastic bucket or garbage can. The container simply needs to be tall enough to submerge the entire filter. The containers you need vary on the exact type of cartridge filter you have. For example, a 5-gallon (18.9-liter) plastic paint bucket will hold about five type C cartridge filters that are used for small pools. However, larger style filters that are taller will need to be soaked in a plastic garbage can. The exact ratios will vary depending on the cleaner that you purchased, so check the instructions on your cleaner. However, most are mixed at about 1 part filter cleaner to 5 or 6 parts water. Only fill the container about halfway, so that the liquid doesn’t overflow once the filters are put into it. Once they are in, place the lid on the container. Let the filter soak for as long as the directions on the cleaning product say to soak them. Typically, it will be at least several days. You need to allow the filters to soak to dissolve any oils and kill any microorganisms that are trapped in the filter media, and to break down any organic contaminants. One day is a good start, but 3 to 5 days will provide better results. Agitate the filter by holding it at one end, and dunking it briskly in and out of the rinse water. You should see a cloud of rinsed contaminants coming from the filter.  Once clean, hang or place the filters in bright...

Try waxing. Use depilatories. Try bleaching.

You could either use an at home waxing kit or get the facial hair waxed away in a salon. Waxing removes hair from the root, so it's an effective way to get a smooth face. It irritates some people's skin, though.   Warm wax should be applied to the desired area using the applicator that comes with the kit and then allowed to cool. Use your fingers to pull the cold wax off of your skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth.  Regular waxing can reduce regrowth because this technique interrupts the development of hair follicles. If your skin is sensitive to wax, you could try sugaring, which is a natural method similar to waxing. Add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice to 1/4 cup water. Boil until it turns into a paste. It needs to simmer about 25 minutes and turn amber brown. Let it cool. Dust your skin with corn starch or baby powder. Apply the mixture in the opposite direction of hair growth. Put a rag on it, and then pull it off. Depilatories are chemical products that remove unwanted facial hair from the surface of the skin. The chemicals dissolve the hair into a gel-like substance.  Apply the depilatory to the skin. Leave the product on the skin based on the timing instructions that come with the product. Once the product has been on the skin for the required length of time, wipe it off of your skin with a clean cloth. Hair regrows a few days after using a depilatory. Depilatories can be purchased across the counter. One problem with depilatories is that they have a strong chemical smell. Bleaching doesn't remove unwanted facial hair. However, it can make it harder to see.  The trick is making sure the product matches your skin tone.   If you have heavy hair growth, this is not a good solution for you. Bleaching regularly can irritate the skin. So you should test it out on a small patch of the skin before using it more heavily. If you do bleach, stay out of the sun for at least an hour. If you don't, the skin could have a bad reaction.

Drop your agenda. Don’t feel like you have to fix their problem. Remember the importance of being a good role model. Avoid being defensive about past poor-listening. Apologize and mean it. Ask for feedback. Try marriage counseling.

Have an idea of what direction you want your conversation with your spouse to go? If you want to embrace being a good listener, you have to get rid of it. Conversations in which two people are participating equally by listening and replying grow organically. Don’t sit down to listen to them with an expectation of guiding the conversation your way. When you do this, you aren’t truly listening. Sometimes our spouses simply want to come to us to vent or talk through their problems. When you step in with unsolicited, quick-fix suggestions, this belittles your spouse and minimizes their concerns. Avoid offering advice unless your spouse specifically asks you what you think. This especially applies to men. This tends to be a very gendered problem, with husbands seeking to fix their wives’ problems, rather than listening to their wives talk about their problems. For instance, if your wife comes to you with concerns about a disagreement she had with her mother, resist the urge to tell her to simply call her mother and apologize. Instead, actively listen and acknowledge her struggle. The way that you and your spouse communicate and listen to each other will be the model for your kids in their future relationships. Children are sponges for information, so make sure that the model that you’re providing them about how to best communicate with their partner is one of respect and openness. Your spouse might bring up that you haven’t listened to them in the past. When they mention this, it’s important to not become defensive or angry. Instead, acknowledge that you haven’t been as attentive as you should have been and that you’re working on it. Try asking them what things you specifically do that make them feel that you aren’t listening. This way, if they have specific examples, you’ll have concrete things that you can begin to work on. If you’ve been neglectful of your spouse in the past and failed to listen to them, then a genuine apology can go a long way. Be sure that your attitude is remorseful and matches your words....

Rinse your Crocs with regular water. Combine a mild soap with warm water in a bucket. Let your Crocs soak in the bucket or sink while you're scrubbing. Scrub dirt off using a scrub brush or rag. Use a generic or brand-name magic eraser for tough stains. Rinse the shoes off and let them dry completely.

Before doing a deep clean, rinse your rubber Crocs with plain water. This will remove the first layer of dirt and help you narrow down which parts need scrubbing. Find a mild soap or dish detergent and squirt or pour a small amount in a bucket of warm water. You can also put a stopper in the sink and use the sink to clean your Crocs. Mix the soap and the water well.  The warm water will help break down the dirt, and a mild soap will ensure your Crocs aren't damaged by harsh chemicals. If your Crocs are really dirty, you can add bleach to the water by filling up the bleach container's cap with bleach and mixing it into the water. Once you’ve made a soapy mixture, put your Crocs into the bucket or sink to let them soak. They don't need to soak for a specific period of time before washing them, but keep them in the water the entire time you're scrubbing. As the Crocs are soaking, use a scrub brush or rag to start wiping off the dirt. This may take several minutes, depending on how dirty your shoes are. Use a toothbrush to get inside the vent holes or other places you can’t easily reach. Only use this toothbrush for household cleaning. If dirt or residue on your Crocs isn't washing off, try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. These are designed for tough stains and only need water to make them work.

Identify a conflict. Focus on maintaining or recovering a relationship. Stay calm and alert. Keep your emotions in check. Acknowledge the feelings and words of the other party. Remain respectful of differences in personality or opinion. Find a solution to the conflict between you.

A conflict occurs when a difference in opinion escalates to the point of interfering with an interpersonal relationship.  There are often strong emotions associated with conflicts.  Conflicts generally don’t go away on their own without specifically dealing with them. Even if you feel that you dislike or hate the person with whom you are in conflict, it may be the conflict itself that is causing you to feel that way.  Framing your approach to conflict resolution with the idea of helping your relationship with the person Staying calm will help you listen and respond reasonably to other people’s perspectives. Remaining calm will also likely keep the conflict from escalating, as the other person involved in the conflict may respond positively to your calm demeanor. This can be quite difficult, but it is important to maintain control over your emotions when involved in a conflict.  This does not mean that you can’t feel or even express your emotions; it just means that you shouldn’t allow your emotions to inform your actions or demeanor. Additionally, being aware of your own emotions can help you understand the emotions of other parties involved in conflict.  This can help you sympathize with others’ perspectives. Again, this can sometimes be difficult if you are in conflict with someone who you don’t like.  However, accepting and allowing for the feelings of the other person involved in a conflict can help you resolve a conflict.  It helps you understand why the person may be acting the way he is.  Acknowledging another’s feelings aloud can help him see that you understand where he is coming from, which may de-escalate the situation. Some conflict arises from a difference of opinion that may not be resolved.  It is possible to remain respectful towards someone even if you do not reach an agreement about a specific conflict. The key to finding a solution or resolution to your conflict involves working together to identify the specific problems and brainstorming for solutions together.  This may involve some...

Silver tarnishes,

Purchase a silver polish. Consider using common household products for less rare or less valuable pieces. Try a silver dip.

When tarnish develops on silver, a simple salt and aluminum bath may not suffice to remove it. Specially formulated silver jewelry polishes are your safest option for polishing silver jewelry, especially if you are dealing with an antique or a piece that has intricate designs etched into it.  Even special polishes can remove a layer of silver, so get a professional cleaning if you're dealing with a delicate piece. Instead of buying silver polish from the drugstore, consider getting it from a jewelry store or a store with a high-quality jewelry department. They will usually work to remove tough tarnish, but may cause damage such as pock marks or scratches. Try them at your own risk.  Try toothpaste. Select a plain white toothpaste without the special whitening options. Take a soft, dampened cloth or a damp sponge and put some toothpaste on it. Gently rub over the silver jewelry in straight, back-and-forth motions. Be very gentle, and if you notice scratching at any point, stop and rinse the toothpaste off. As the cloth or sponge becomes dark with tarnish, add more toothpaste to a clean part of the dampened cloth/sponge and continue gently polishing. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft towel. Baking soda may remove stubborn tarnish, but don't use it unless you don't mind the risk of damaging the silver. Make a paste of baking soda and warm water, gently rub it into the surface of the jewelry, and rinse when the tarnish is removed. Commercial silver "dips" can dissolve stains without rubbing the silver jewelry, although they may take off a layer of silver. For this reason, they should only be used as a last resort. Contrary to what the word "dip" implies, professionals rarely actually soak silver in these products, at least not for long. Dips are generally harsh, potentially dangerous chemicals, so follow the directions carefully and consult a professional when in doubt.

Pick a ripe one. Rinse the outside. Cut melon into wedges or chunks. Watch out for the seeds. Chill your watermelon. Try adding a small amount of salt. Add lime juice and chili powder.

Picking a ripe watermelon doesn't need to be a total mystery. There are two basic ways to pick a melon that's ripened to perfection, which involve using your eyes and your hands:  Feel the melon. Pick it up and feel the weight. Good melons should feel slightly heavier than they look. That means they're juicy and sweet. If you tap a melon, your knuckles should bounce back. If the melon feels hollow or soft, that's a bad sign. The surface should feel quite firm. Bumpiness is a sign of irregular watering.  Look at the melon. Ripe melons should have a "field spot," which is usually yellowish or brownish on one side, which may be slightly flatter. This means the melon was allowed to ripen for a while on the ground before being picked. Avoid any melons with a very shiny green surface, which is a sign of under-ripeness. Even though you don't eat the rind of the watermelon, it's still a good idea to give it a rinse. The knife you use to cut it up will pass through the outside, which can still have residual pesticides and other stuff from the dirt on it. Even if you grew it yourself, it's still a good idea to give it a rinse before you cut it up. There's no wrong way to eat watermelon. The most classic way is to slice it into hand-held pieces and eat it right down to the rind, but cutting up melon into chunks and eating with skewers or a fork is also perfectly delicious.  Place the clean, dry melon on a flat cutting surface. You can stabilize the melon with your your hand on the other end of the melon, or by placing the melon on a towel. Use a sharp chef's knife to cut watermelon, and keep your fingers clear of the knife as you work. Check out the next section for different ways to slice up your watermelon. Most watermelons have lots of hard black and white seeds throughout the flesh. Part of the fun or the challenge of eating watermelon is negotiating these seeds and getting rid of them. Spit them into a small cup if you're inside, or take the melon outside and have a spitting contest in the yard. It's hard to do...

It will say on the bottle whether it's for oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, or all skin types.  For example, if you have dry, sensitive skin, choose a moisturizing cleanser that’s free of dyes and perfumes. Avoid cleansers that contain harsh or drying ingredients, like alcohol or astringents. If your skin is oily, look for a gentle soap-based cleanser that’s designed to remove dirt and oils from your skin.

You can use a spreadsheet to create a budget.
The first step is to create a spreadsheet. You can use Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet program. You can also use a free online spreadsheet program such as Google Sheets.
The next step is to add your expenses. You can do this

Gather records of financial transactions for a 2- or 3-month period. Annualize your income. Organize your expenses into categories. Identify the time period for each expense. Annualize expenses based on the data you have. Make adjustments where necessary to balance your budget. Create a new budget based on your results.

Typically, a few months of bank statements is all you need to annualize expenses and create a yearly budget. If you frequently use a credit card, get copies of your credit card statements for the same month. Use income and expenses across the same time period. In other words, if you annualize 3 months of income you should also annualize 3 months of expenses. Total your income over 2 or 3 months. Then multiply that total by the ratio of the number of months in a year over the number of months of income. This provides you with the amount of income you make each year.  For example, suppose you have 3 monthly paychecks of $4,200, $5,100, and $4,700, for a total of $14,000. Your annualized income would be $14,000 x 12/3 = $14,000 x 4 = $56,000. Be sure to include any other sources of income in your equation. If you have any money that you only receive once a year, such as a bonus, you can simply add it into your annualized income. You can make as many categories as you want. A broad category, such as "bills," likely won't be very helpful if you want to figure out where your money's going. On the other hand, too many individual categories add work and can get confusing.  For example, you might have categories such as "house payment," "utilities," and "car." Under "utilities," you would include bills such as electricity, gas, telephone, trash, and water and sewer. Under "car," you might include your car payment, car insurance, and fuel. If there are specific expenses that you think are getting out of control, or that you want to keep particular tabs on, make them their own category. For example, assume you believe that you're spending too much money buying lattes from the café near your work. You might create a "latte" category specifically for that expense. To annualize your data, you have to know how often the expense occurs. Many recurring bills are monthly. However, you may have some that are every other month, every quarter, or only twice a year. You'll also have expenses that are daily or weekly, or that...

If you have a skin rash, you can use apple cider vinegar to help.
Apple cider vinegar is a natural antiseptic and anti-fungal. It can help with a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Apple cider vinegar is a natural antise

Try hydrocortisone cream. Take an over-the-counter antihistamine. Take an oatmeal bath. Apply calamine lotion. Use a hospital strength itch reliever. Use a clay mask. Rub apple cider vinegar onto your skin. Grow herbs that fight itching, like peppermint, basil and plantain. Apply aloe vera gel to burned skin.

This over-the-counter medication may relieve itching. It is, however, a topical steroid, so you should not use it on your face, or on skin folds such as your groin, axilla, or pendulous breasts. To use it, apply it in a thin film over the affected area up to 4 times a day for 5-7 days. To help control itching, you can try taking an oral OTC antihistamine, like Benadryl, Claritin, or Zyrtec. Consult your pharmacist if you have any questions about how much you should take. Don't take a topical antihistamine, such as Caladryl. This may worsen your skin reaction. Buy an oatmeal bath, like the one sold by Aveeno. Put the oatmeal treatment into your bathtub to help soothe your skin and relieve itching. However, this is only a temporary soothing solution.  You can also add 2 cups of oatmeal to warm bath water and soak to calm large areas of red, irritated skin. When the water cools, rinse off the oatmeal and gently pat your skin dry.  This is especially good for chicken pox, poison ivy, and eczema. After you soak your skin, you can use calamine lotion to prevent itching and soothe your skin. Make sure that calamine lotion does not interact with any other medication you're taking. Over-the-counter itch relievers, such as Dermoplast, are designed to spray in hard-to-reach places and relieve itch. Many products like this also have moisturizer in them. Bentonite, or green clay, helps relieve itching from bug bites or stings by removing toxins from skin.  It is also great for treating acne.  Mix clay with enough filtered water to make a paste and apply directly to skin.  Let it dry and wash or peel it off.  You can also apply a layer of paste to a cloth or clean cotton bandage, lay over skin and secure, and wear for 4 hours. Look for clay that is untreated. Dip a cotton ball into the vinegar and dab onto the itchy area. Apple cider vinegar is an anti-septic and has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.  Raw, unfiltered vinegar is the best and most gentle type.  Buy organic if possible. Apple cider vinegar can help...

Ice and salt are a safe, natural way to clean your flask.

Fill your flask with ice. Add a few spoonfuls of salt. Close the lid and shake. Rinse out the flask.

Empty out your flask if there is any liquid in it. Load the flask about a quarter of the way full with ice. It’s best if the ice is crushed or in smaller, irregularly shaped pieces, though normal cubes will also work. The exact amount of ice you use will depend on the size of your flask.  The type of bagged ice you can buy at the grocery store is perfect for this task. If you only have access to large, smooth or rounded ice cubes, you can break them up into a more effective size yourself by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them or throwing them in a food processor. Sprinkle 2-3 heaping spoonfuls of salt over the ice. For the purpose of cleaning, salt of a larger grain, such as coarse-ground kosher salt or sea salt, will get the most done. Add the salt to the flask quickly so that the ice you put inside doesn’t have a chance to melt.  Use an extra half tablespoon (about 7ml) of salt if its a finer grain. Ice that melts in the flask may dissolve the salt, making it less useful for cleaning. Place the lid on the flask and make sure it’s secure. Shake the flask vigorously. As the hard ice and jagged salt granules move around inside the flask, they’ll scrape away whatever stains and grime have accumulate on the insulated metal. Shake for as long as you want, until you feel confident that the ice and salt have done their job.  The salt and ice combination will essentially act as an “exfoliant” for the walls of the flask. Don’t worry about damaging the metal that your flask is made of. They’re designed to withstand extreme temperatures, mild impacts from being dropped and general wear and tear. Take the lid off the flask and pour out the ice-salt mixture. Run some warm water into the flask and swirl it around to remove any lingering remnants. Rinse the mouth of the flask as well, and leave the lid off as it dries. Using ice and salt to wear down stains is a safe, natural solution. Both ingredients are non-toxic and don’t contain chemicals that may be harmful if ingested.

Know which varieties of cabbage this applies to. Remove the outer leaves. Cut the cabbage head in half. Cut the halves into quarters. Remove only part of the stems. Cut into eighths, if desired. Wash the cabbage.

Round cabbages have tightly packed leaves and are spherical in shape. Common varieties include green cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage. Use your hands to peel off any tough or damaged outer leaves from the head of cabbage.  Round heads of cabbage with tightly packed leaves have thick outer leaves. Even if these leaves are in good shape, you should still remove them before cutting the cabbage, since they tend to be tough and not especially appetizing. This is especially true if you plan on eating the cabbage raw.     Any wilted or discolored portions must also be removed.    Place the head of cabbage on its core end and slice it in half lengthwise, from the top center straight down and through the core. If you cut the cabbage open and suspect that worms or insects have caused damage to the interior, you can still use the cabbage. You need to soak it in salt water for 20 minutes before continuing any further, though.    Place each half cut-side down and cut in half lengthwise once more, creating quarters. You can stop here, but the wedges may still be too wide for use in many recipes. Flip the quarters over to reveal the cut sides. Cut a wedge at the bottom into the core of each quarter. Only cut away part of the core, however, not all of it.  Keeping part of the core connected to the leaves will make it easier to keep the layers of leaves in each core held together. If you cut out the core completely, the leaves are likely to separate. The cabbage will still be edible, but the wedges will be ruined.     While looking at the core, cut a triangular wedge into the top portion of the core but not all the way through it. Slice a large portion of the wedge away while leaving a thin layer behind.     If you are anxious about cutting away some without cutting away too much, you could also simply leave the core intact. The core is tougher than the leaves, but it becomes tender and edible once cooked.    If you want smaller wedges, place each quarter whole-side-down and cut the quarter in half lengthwise, from the...

If you are in a relationship with a woman who is not your wife

Figure out if you have a hard or soft problem. Be honest and realistic. Get help, if help is an option. Make a break for it.

A “hard” problem is a fixed issue that causes unsolvable damage, and if you are facing a hard problem, you should leave the relationship as soon as possible. A “soft” problem is less defined and may or may not have a solution, so you should take your time to really evaluate your marriage before ending it over a soft problem.  Hard problems include the three A's: abuse, addiction, and adultery. Soft problems include things like growing apart or no longer feeling the sensation of being "in love." These problems usually mask unrecognized problems, like feeling isolated, ignored, or criticized. You need to pinpoint your underlying problems and address them before you can conclude that leaving your wife is the best way to remedy them. Leaving your wife will be a brutal process, even if you manage to separate on fairly amiable terms. If you catch yourself dreaming of an idealistic future and want to leave your wife simply to pursue it, stop right there and reconsider. For example, if you're thinking of leaving your wife for an old high school sweetheart or a new, exciting lover, there's a high probability that you are treating your new relationship with too much idealism and not looking at the benefits of your current marriage or considering the repercussions that may result from leaving under these conditions. If you have a soft problem, try working things out with your wife. Seek out a marriage counselor and see if there is anything you can do to make your marriage work again before you call it quits. Once you are certain that leaving your wife is the best possible option, start the process and don't look back. One of the most important things you need is certainty, so if your decision is sound right now, stick with it and try not to doubt yourself in the future.
