Identify a skill you have that could translate into a home based business. Learn how to create an organized day. Actively promote your business and seek clients. Make a realistic schedule that works for you.

Not all jobs can be performed effectively from home so examine your strengths and experience to determine if you can make working from home effective for you and your family.  Assess how much money you need to make. Determine how much money you’ll need to make in order to live comfortably. In some cases, you may need to factor in overhead costs, initial cash outlay to get the business started and the amount of time it will take to turn a profit. Tally your monthly bills to help determine the total amount you should make and decide how much money you would like to add to your savings account. Determine if you have the equipment/tools to make your home-based business a success. Knowing what you need in terms of tools should be included in the cost.  In some cases a simple computer and certain software will do the trick. However, if you are running another type of business, such as an embroidery or catering company you may need to purchase certain equipment to get your home based business off the ground. Decide if you need assistance or if you can perform this task as a one man or woman show. Another cost to consider is whether you can do this on your own or if assistance will be required.  For example, if you are starting a house painting company you may need to hire one or two employees to help you complete larger jobs. Find a specific space in your home that you can call your “office.” Even if you plan to do most of your business in the field, you’ll need to have your own space for paperwork and invoicing.  Whether it’s the kitchen table or you can allot for an entire room for an office, identify a space before you begin work. Being self motivated is the key to being an effective “at home” worker. If you aren’t already an organized person you’ll have a rough road ahead.  Use organizational tools and a solid day planner to keep you focused on your schedule.  Obtain a comprehensive planner or use the organizational system software on your computer.  No one else is going to keep you on track so you’ll need to...

If you are in a situation where you are being threatened by your roommate, you should consider mediation. If you are not, you should consider moving out.
If you are in a situation where you are being threatened by your roommate, you should consider mediation. If you are not, you should consider moving out.

Plan a conversation about the issue. Consider mediation. Communicate directly. Give financial incentives to move out. Set ground rules to follow during and while waiting for the move-out. Be present when your roommate is moving out.

Taking into consideration your roommate's history of threats and abuses, think about the best approach to informing her that he/she needs to move out. Does your roommate require a no-nonsense approach, or might it be beneficial for you to leave more room to listen to his/her side of the story? Mediation is when a neutral third party steps in to aid communication between two disputants. In lieu of a professional mediator (usually someone with a legal background), try asking a capable friend or family member to hold court. Do remember, though, that mediation is not an opportunity to prove guilt or blame. Instead, mediate to make sure that each person understands what the other is saying and can be held responsible for that knowledge. Try to decide in advance whether or not you will be open to any attempts that your roommate makes to convince you to let her stay at the place. Be firm about this decision. Highly manipulative people often feign agreeableness or make promises to change that they do not intend to keep. Make sure that you talk face to face rather than through phone or messaging services. Be clear about what is bothering you, and maintain a firm stance about your decision without making any threats in case your roommate goes against your expectations and agrees that moving out is indeed a good course of action. Explain your reasoning, focusing as much as possible on yourself and your needs and provide specific examples of when and why living in your current situation proved unmanageable. Use as little blame as possible, and be sure to own your feelings of discomfort and discord.  Understand that they will need adequate warning to find a new place to live. 30 days is standard. Tempting as it may be, do not lie about the rights that you have. Do not insinuate that you can legally kick your roommate out or make false claims about your landlord mandating that everyone move out (if this is not the case). Only threaten legal action if your roommate becomes dangerous or keeps insisting that he/she will not...

If you’re going to take off your shirt, make sure you’re not going to hit anything.
If you’re going to take off your shirt, make sure

Take off your jewelry first. Take off any hair accessories. Remove makeup. Stand in an open area.

Remove any necklaces or earrings before taking off your shirt. They can snag on the fabric, especially if your shirt is very tight. Earrings are especially dangerous when they snag, as they can tear your earlobe easily if you pull too hard. Clips, bobby pins, or other clasps can snag on shirts as easily as jewelry. Having your hair pulled is pretty painful, so remove all hair accessories before you take your shirt off. Before you take your shirt off, you might want to remove any makeup if you’re wearing it. If you rub your face on your shirt as you take it off, it can leave stains and ruin your clothes. Remove makeup beforehand to eliminate the chances of messing up your shirt. If you do get makeup on your clothes, you can typically remove makeup stains using household products. The more open space you have, the less chance you’ll hit objects as you remove your shirt. You might have to move your arms a lot to get a very tight shirt off, so you don’t want to be too crowded. Try removing your shirt in your room, for instance, rather than in a small bathroom.

Wear lightweight, breathable socks. Carry a towel. Wash your clothes after the gym.

Cotton socks are generally a good choice. Make sure that the socks are neither too tight nor too loose!  Wear high socks or low socks, to your taste. Short socks will give your legs more space to breathe, but high socks can be useful for wicking away sweat. Tight socks can constrict your legs and slow your blood circulation. On the other hand, socks that are too loose might distract you by sliding down your legs. As you move about the gym, use a soft, clean towel to wipe your sweat away. You don't want to leave your sweat on the seat of a machine! Most gyms provide clean towels for members to use during their workouts. Do not share a towel with anyone, or else you risk sharing germs! Clean up any sweat that you do leave on a machine. Use a small, clean towel to wipe down the seat, the bars, and any other part that your sweat has touched. Your sweat carries bacteria that could infect someone else if left to dry on the machine! Even your own sweat, when left to dry on fabric, can breed nasty bacteria and then infect you. Odor-making bacteria tend to grow better on polyester than on cotton – but you should wash all gym clothes regardless.

Walk on water.

Find a pool with ankle- to knee-deep water. Walk through the water. Start marching laps. Walk sideways for several laps. Do forward lunges. Try side lunges. Continue for as long as you feel okay walking in the water. Shoot for 30 to 45 minutes sessions each time.

This might be the children's pool, or it could just be the shallow end of a local, regular pool. Start with ankle-deep water and, as you feel more confident, move to water that is knee-deep. This is ideal for those who are rehabilitating from illness, for pregnant women, and for anyone who feels that exercise might be too strenuous or cause injury after a period of inactivity. Make sure you are walking heel to toe, rather than just on your toes. The buoyancy of the water can make it harder to complete a normal stride. You may need to focus on foot placement when you first begin. Try to maintain your normal stride, and notice the resistance that the water provides. Walk through the water and bring your knees up high with each step. Swing your arms to propel your body if the movement seems difficult. Try to bring your legs up as high as they will comfortably go with each step, working hard to pull them back to the bottom of the pool. The real resistance in this movement lies in the hamstrings and glutes working against buoyancy. Turn sideways in the water and move your legs directly sideways against the resistance of the water with each step. After several laps, turn around and lead with the opposite foot. This activity will help work the inner and outer muscles of your thighs, as well as your abdominal muscles. Step forward with one leg and bend your knee to a 90 degree angle. Keep your hands at your sides, straighten your front leg, and then lunge forward with the opposite leg. This is a great way to stretch and strengthen your leg muscles. Switch up your routine by doing side lunges. When you are walking sideways, bend your leading knee to a 90 degree angle, lean into the lunge, then raise your body and repeat. Make sure to do the same number of lunges on the opposite side for an even workout. The resistance of the water on your legs strengthens them, burns calories, and helps to build confidence for harder exercise stages. But don’t try to do too much at once. Push yourself as hard as you feel comfortable,...

The best way to prevent heart disease is to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking

Exercise regularly Stop smoking Factor in diet.

. Some behaviors like exercise can give you moderate protection against heart disease. Being physically active can lower your blood pressure, help to lower your cholesterol levels, and reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Doctors recommend that you aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise (i.e. walking, light aerobics) five times per week or 25 minutes of vigorous exercise (running, basketball, cycling) three days per week. In addition, they recommend moderate to intense strength training two days per week. Subtract 1 point if you are male or female and meet the recommended guidelines. Add 1 point if you do not. . Smoking is not only terrible for your lungs but also increases your chances of getting heart disease. Chemicals in tobacco directly damage heart muscle and blood vessels, while smoking in general promotes atherosclerosis, lowers HDL cholesterol, and raises blood pressure. Add 0 points if you are male or female and a non-smoker. Add 2 points if you are a smoker. Consider yourself a smoker if you have smoked even one cigarette, cigar, or pipe of tobacco in the previous month. Diet is another mildly protective factor against heart disease. Put simply, the foods that you eat can control blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, and high cholesterol. For the best results, try to eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins like fish, chicken, and beans. Avoid sugars, refined carbohydrates, and red meat. Make sure to get plenty of fiber, as well. Soluble fiber, found in foods like oatmeal, is known to reduce “bad” cholesterol in the blood stream. The American Heart Association has heart healthy guidelines. Check these and subtract 1 point if you meet them (either male or female). Add one point if you do not.

You can make a glass top for a bread oven with a half-drum, a tin snips, and a rivet gun.
The half-drum is a great way to make a bread oven. It is a simple and inexpensive way to make a bread oven.
The half-drum is

Cut a large metal drum in half vertically with a jigsaw. Clean the inside of the half-drum with a degreasing soap. Cut a large rectangle of sheet metal to fit the curved interior of the drum. Cut two half circles to fit inside the ends of the drum. Attach the sheet metal to the inside of the drum. Paint the inside of the oven with a reflective paint rated for barbecues. Create a metal lip with flashing around three top edges of the oven. Flip the half-drum over and apply spray-on insulation to the outside. Attach a base to the bottom of the oven to keep it from tipping over. Drill drainage holes in the bottom of the oven. Slide a custom-sized sheet of tempered glass into the metal lip. Insert a thermometer into the oven, if you want. Place aluminum racks on the bottom of the oven. Cook your food on a sunny day.

An oil drum will work well for this purpose. Be sure to use a metal-cutting blade; when you’re done, the half-drum should look like a cradle. You only need half of the drum to make the oven. You can discard the other half. Put some degreasing soap onto a scrub brush. Thoroughly scrub the inside of the half-drum with degreasing soap and water. Pay extra attention to the corners and crevices, where grease can accumulate. The long side should be as long as the long side of the drum. The other should equal the curved width of the interior of the drum. You can measure the curved interior with a flexible measuring tape, and then mark it out on the sheet metal.  Use tin snips to cut sheet metal. Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves when cutting sheet metal. For the large rectangle: one side be as long as the long side of the drum, the other should equal the curved length of the interior. You can measure this with a flexible measuring tape. Cut a string the length of the radius of the end of the drum. Tie a marker to the end of the string. Hold the string onto the sheet metal, and swivel the marker around to draw a circle. Cut out the circle and cut it in half. Cut using tin snips, wearing safety goggles and protective gloves. Drill holes through both the sheet metal and the drum with a ⅛ inch (.32 cm) drill bit, then apply ⅛ inch (.32 cm) pop rivets with a rivet gun. Slide the rivet into the nozzle of the rivet gun. Place the rivet into the hole you have drilled and squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun. This will maximize the amount of heat inside the oven. You can buy reflective paint at a hardware store or online. Make sure that you wear gloves and non-fancy clothes when you’re painting, and that you paint in a well-ventilated place, preferably outside. This will hold the glass top, which you will slide in and out through the open side. The easiest way to create a lip is with six pieces of metal flashing:  Make a flashing “sandwich” by putting on two layers of flashing so that the glass can slide...

Also add any sauce that remains on the chicken. Cook until the cream is well stirred into the mixture. Take a small pan and add butter to it. Stir continuously and try to get the butter burnt. This most likely will cause a flame, so be careful when handling. Put this burnt butter on the top of the chicken makhani. Mix and cover it. If you don't cover it, the flavor may escape. You're now ready to serve!

Know yourself. Use your personal trait list to uncover your ideal partner. Match your temperament and personality type following the Keirsey model. Think about your own and the other person's feelings, desires and the kind of opposite that attracts you. Take your time in attracting the right person.

Who are you? Are you confident, shy, bold, careful, smart, getting smarter, involved, inactive, sensitive, tough, etc.? Deciding on what type of temperaments you are hoping for in a partner is much easier by being clearer about your own character, first. Someone who handles emotions and conflict nearly like you do is likely to be a better match than someone who responds very differently. This step can be somewhat of a journey into self discovery as a key element in loving anybody else is the ability to love yourself too. Write down a list of your traits and attributes as you perceive them. Don't rush it, you can come back to the list over several days if needed. Lists of personality traits, personal attributes, etc. can be found in psychology texts and many career choice books. Reading through such lists will help to jog your mind––see which traits you strongly identify with. Do be careful to avoid choosing traits you "wish" you had, as clearly, those are not who you are for real. Once you have identified the traits, you'll have a good guide as to what kind of person is appropriate for you. At its most basic, for example, if you are:  Talkative, then you may go well with a reserved person who likes to listen more than talking. An introvert, you can be very attracted and very suited to a certain kind of extrovert and vice versa. Career driven, then you may love a homebody who wants to be an organizer, cook, "homemaker", and you will bring home the bread. Artist or musician, then you may love a person who appreciates and supports talented, whimsical, different kinds of "ambitions" and may become your biggest fan.

Get your materials together. Make a mold for your smoke bomb. Measure out your sugar and potassium nitrate. Place the ingredients in the pot and turn on the heat. Pour the mixture into your mold. Unmold the smoke bomb. Light the smoke bomb.

A basic, easy smoke bomb that produces thick grey smoke with a purple flame can be made using just two ingredients: white granulated sugar and potassium nitrate, the ingredient found in cold packs. Mixing these two simply components together creates a slow-burning, long-lasting bomb.  If you don't have granulated sugar, you can use powdered sugar, but the process of building the smoke bomb will be a little different. If you don't have a cold pack, look for another source of potassium nitrate (also known as saltpeter). It's often sold in the fertilizer section of hardware and garden stores. You can also buy saltpeter online or  make it yourself if you're feeling ambitious. You also need a medium-sized pot, aluminum foil, a smoke bomb mold, and waxed string (optional). You can line any sort of container with the aluminum foil to make it into a smoke bomb. The shape of the smoke bomb will affect the way it burns. If you want, make more than one smoke bomb so you can compare different shapes and see which one burns the best. Here are a few mold ideas:  Cut the top off a paper milk carton and use the bottom half as a mold if you'd like a square smoke bomb. Line it with aluminum foil. Line a bowl with aluminum foil. Any type of bowl works, whether it's deep or shallow. Make tiny smoke bombs by lining votive candle holders with aluminum foil. Make a tube-shaped bomb by lining the inside of a toilet paper roll with aluminum foil, making sure one end is completely covered. Make a funnel-shaped smoke bomb by lining a funnel with foil. Find an interestingly-shaped vase to make an artistic-looking smoke bomb. When it comes to making a great smoke bomb (one that you can easily light and that will burn for a nice long time), the most important thing to get right is the ratio of your ingredients. You need 3 parts potassium nitrate and 2 parts sugar. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of potassium nitrate and 1 cup sugar for a decent-sized smoke bomb.  Adding too much sugar will create a bomb that is difficult to ignite and burns quite...

If you are looking for a rabbit to keep as a pet, you should consider adopting a rabbit from a local shelter. Rabbits are very social animals and they will be happy to have a friend to

Choose the correct formula. Give them warm formula. Protect the formula from contamination.

The best things to feed your baby bunny are kitten milk replacer (KMR) or goat milk. You can get these items from a veterinarian’s office or from a pet store. Rabbit’s milk has a higher calorie count than other milks, so you need to add calories to the formula. Add 100% heavy whipping cream that has no added sugar. When you feed the bunny, you want to make sure that you heat the formula. The formula should be warm, but not hot. It should be around the same temperature as what you would give to an infant. Avoid microwaving the formula. Instead, place the formula in the syringe. Then, put hot water into a bowl and place the syringe in the bowl until it reaches a warm temperature. It is very important that you don’t feed your bunny contaminated formula. One good way to avoid this is to throw away all formula after using it instead of saving what is left. If you make up formula ahead of time, check it each time to make sure it hasn’t gone bad. Look for lumps, a skin on top of it, or a change in color.

Obtain the approval and agreement of your co-borrower, to sell the property to a third party. Determine your property’s value by consulting with a real estate agent. Hire a qualified real estate agent and accept an offer. Seek out a real estate attorney to close the deal.

Selling to a third party will remove your name (and your co-borrower’s name) from the mortgage, by paying off the debt. The sale can free both you and your co-borrower up to purchase your own home. If your home is worth enough to cover your existing mortgage, it makes sense to sell the property. If you owe more on your property than it is worth, you can try negotiating a short-sale with your lender. In a short-sale the lender agrees to a sale of the property for less than the total debt, but it still releases you fully from that debt. A real estate agent will list the property for you. They will also assist you in negotiating with the buyer to an agreed upon purchase price. (Some people choose to sell the property themselves. This is called a “for sale by owner” sale.) The attorney can make sure the documentation is drafted properly. They will ensure you are no longer listed on the mortgage or the property records. Make sure you receive copies of these records to retain for your personal files.

When offering a tip in either country, be discreet and note that your tip may be refused.  Tip 10% to 15% to your waiter at a restaurant. Offer $1 per bag to the porter at your hotel, $1 to $5 per day to the housekeeper, and $10 to $20 per favor to the concierge. Cab drivers get 10% of the fare. A private guide receives $50 per person per day, but a bus-tour guide gets $5 to $10. A private driver gets a $20 per day tip. If you get a spa or beauty treatment, tip 10% to 15%. Formally, tipping is not expected or accepted at hotels and other service businesses, with only a few exceptions.  Luggage porters should get 10 yuan per bag. Offer 10 to 30 yuan per massage at a massage house. For the most part, you will not need to leave any tip for any service provided in Japan. In fact, oftentimes, a tip will even be refused. If you see a tip jar located in a restaurant or western-owned business, however, you can leave a tip, but the amount is up to your discretion. As with Japan, tipping is not a common practice in South Korea. You can offer a tip for exceptional service, but it is not expected.  Guides still get $10 per person per day, however, and drivers get about half that amount. Hotel porters can be tipped $1 per bag. A gratuity is expected for your server at a restaurant, but otherwise, most tips are very much appreciated but not necessarily expected.  Offer a 10% to 15% tip at a restaurant. If you want to tip your driver, give 100 to 200 rupees. For great service provided by a hotel concierge, porter, or housekeeper, offer an extra 268 to 535 rupees.

Buy a piping bag and a large icing tip or use a plastic bag. Make a batch of cupcakes and allow them to cool. Make the icing.

Piping bags are used to pipe icing onto cakes in a controlled fashion through a pointed tip. The design of the tip results in smooth, ridged, or star-shaped icing. When you're ready to ice cupcakes, assemble the piping bag and tip by screwing the tip onto the bag according to the instructions.  Check out the selection of piping bags and icing tips at your local grocery store or specialty baking store. Larger icing tips result in a better final look for icing swirls. Smaller tips are used for writing or making small decorations. Make your own piping bag by cutting a small hole at the bottom of a plastic sandwich bag. You'll be able to attach an icing tip to your homemade bag. Set the cupcakes on a tray to prepare them to be iced. Icing swirls look better when they're made with stiffer icing that can hold its shape. Since most store-bought icing is a little on the gooey side, you're better off making your own. Use the following basic recipe to make classic buttercream icing, which is perfect for icing swirls. Simply beat the following ingredients together, adding a little more milk if the end result seems too stiff. You can swap out the vanilla for another flavoring and add a few drops of food coloring if you want:  1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened 4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 Tablespoons milk

Figure out your budget. Take into account construction costs. Calculate how much you'll need to spend to stock your bar. Take into account your prospective employees wages. Figure out where you’ll get the money.

Most likely, you'll need well over $100,000 dollars to open your bar. This number could be reasonable if you plan to open in a small town in rural Mississippi, but if you plan to open up shop in New York City or Los Angeles, you'll need to be prepared to raise five times that amount or more. Remember that roughly 75% of bars/restaurants that open close within the first year. Don't let your bar go out of business because you didn't anticipate the exorbitant costs of starting a successful bar. If your budget can't survive at least startup plus a few months running without netting a dime before you have to give up, then forget it. The last thing you want is to start the bar and then run out of money before business builds up to a profitable level. If necessary, choose a different location or find some other way to cut expenses.  Remember, this should all be planned out before you take any other steps. If the bar you want has not been constructed yet, add several months and thousands of dollars on top of your other costs to build it. Remember that construction is a timely process and most likely will take longer than projected. There is no formula for a perfectly stocked bar. It all depends on how many people you attract to your bar and how much they consume. Some bars that focus on “beer crowds” will want to have a variety of beers on hand, while a wine bar will want to have a great selection of wines. This being said, there is a standard set of drinks, liquors, liqueurs, and mixers that every bar will want to have. Saying “we don’t sell that drink here” to a customer could cause them to leave, so be ready for anything. Be sure to have gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, and brandy in addition to beer and wine. These are starter liquors. They can be consumed by themselves or combined with various other ingredients to form thousands of drinks. This isn’t going to be a one-man operation. You’ll need bartenders, waiters/waitresses, a host/hostess, chefs, a janitorial staff, book keepers, managers for while you are...

Clean fresh wounds regularly. Keep wounds hydrated with petroleum jelly while they heal. Treat burn wounds Protect your scar from direct sunlight as it heals. Get any stitches removed when your doctor recommends it.

If you get a wound, keeping the area clean can help prevent infections, irritation, and scarring. Wash the area daily with gentle soap and warm water to remove germs, dirt, and debris.  Avoid soaps that contain harsh perfumes and dyes. If you’re getting medical treatment for your wound, follow your doctor’s instructions for cleaning and dressing it. Wounds that develop scabs are more likely to leave scars. To prevent scabbing, always cover your clean wound with hydrating petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline. Cover the wound with a bandage to keep it clean and hydrated. Change the bandage, clean the wound, and reapply the petroleum jelly daily or any time the bandage gets wet or dirty. with aloe vera gel. Medical researchers have found that aloe helps promote the healing of burn wounds more effectively than petroleum jelly. To minimize scarring, apply 100% aloe gel to the wound daily until the burn heals.  If you have a third degree burn or a second degree burn that is larger than 3 inches (7.6 cm) across, seek medical care immediately. Don’t try to treat a severe burn on your own. You can also ask your doctor for a silver sulfadiazine prescription to help prevent infections for second- or third-degree burns. Even after your wound has healed, it’s important to keep protecting the area in order to minimize any potential scarring. If you have a fresh scar after the wound heals, put sunscreen on it or cover it with protective clothing (such as long sleeves) until it fades or disappears.  Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. If you have a scar from surgery, your surgeon will probably recommend that you keep it protected from the sun for at least 1 year. If you have a wound that requires stitches, you can minimize potential scarring by having the stitches removed in the timeframe that your doctor recommends. Taking the stitches out too late or too early may result in more severe scarring.  Don’t attempt to remove the stitches on your own. Visit your doctor’s office and ask them to remove the stitches for you....

Answer the easiest questions first and skip the rest. Guess on tough questions if there is no penalty for incorrect answers. Circle keywords in difficult questions. Rewrite difficult questions in your own words. Review your answers and add more detail if there's time to spare.

Start by answering questions that you know the answers to and skip the other questions. You can come back to them later. This will help to give you some momentum and build your confidence for tackling the more difficult parts of the exam. It will also help to improve the chances that you will pass by ensuring that you get maximum points possible.  For example, if you know the answers to some of the multiple choice questions, answer those questions first and skip over the ones you don’t know. Return to the questions you skipped only after you have finished answering the ones you know. If you get stuck on a question that you do not know the answer to, then you might just have to guess. However, make sure that you will not be penalized for entering an incorrect answer. If this is the case, then you might be better off leaving these questions blank. A penalty means that you will receive an additional points deduction for incorrect responses. For example, if you will receive an additional deduction for answering incorrectly, but you will only receive zero credit if you leave it blank, then leave it blank. If you come across a question that you do not know the answer to, you might be able to improve your chances of getting it right by circling the keywords. Circle any words that stand out to you as important terms and see if this helps you to understand and answer the question. For example, if the question is, “What is the main difference between mitosis and meiosis?” then the keywords are “difference,” “mitosis,” and “meiosis.” You would want to focus on these terms to determine how to answer the question. If you come across a question that is worded in a way that is hard for you to comprehend, try rewriting the question in your own words. This may help to give you some clarity on what the question is asking and how best to answer it. For example, if the question asks, “What was the most notable achievement of Louis Pasteur that also shares his name?” then you might rewrite the question to, “What important thing...

Roll out the dough. Cut the dough into small squares. Alternatively, create knots.

Place the chilled dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is an even 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick all the way around. Try to keep the dough in the shape of a rectangle as you roll it out. If there are uneven edges, use a knife to trim them away before cutting the main part of the dough into pieces. The scraps of dough should be re-kneaded together and re-rolled after you form pieces from the main portion. Cut additional pieces from these scraps once you roll the scraps back into a workable form. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rectangle of dough into strips that are roughly 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide. Cut the dough crosswise into another set of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) strips, ultimately forming 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) squares. You could make the pieces a little bigger, if desired, but keep in mind that larger pieces will take longer to cook. Cut the dough into 2 inch (5 cm) squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, then poke a small hole in the center of each triangle. Carefully pull one corner of the triangle through the hole, forming a knot. To form 2 inch (5 cm) squares, cut the flattened rectangle of dough into 2 inch (5 cm) strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Cut another set of 2 inch (5 cm) strips crosswise, forming the squares.

It's important to be prepared to go out in any sort of weather, be it rain, hail or shine. Have a raincoat, poncho and rain boots option that can be thrown over your costume if needed.  Check the weather beforehand, both in the days leading up to Halloween, and on the day itself. This will help you make the right choices about what to wear and whether you can get away with not wearing an overcoat and tights or an umbrella. If it's hot, don't wear thick leggings, a jacket, or a heavy costume. Avoid layers, and wear something fairly thin. Lighter colors are better than darker ones. Try putting your hair in a ponytail so you won't get extra hot. However, if you need to wear layers (if your outfit is inappropriate), just find another costume. If it's cold, bundle up. Wear a coat, and wear a shirt under your costume so you won't be chilly. Try wearing boots as well.

Look for company data. Analyze the company’s balance sheet. Review the company’s profitability. Check out the cash flow. Consult the experts. Beware of penny stock scams.

Once you find a stock you are interested in purchasing, research the company to determine whether or not it is likely to grow and prove a worthwhile investment. The difficulty in researching penny stock companies varies based on the company and the market the stock is sold on. You should prioritize purchases of penny stocks that you find information on, and avoid stocks that don’t present any real data on themselves.  If you are interested in a penny stock for sale on a secured exchange like NASDAQ or NYSE, you can read the company’s quarterly financial statements and SEC filings for free online. These resources provide you with details about the company's historical performance, and the attached management discussion will outline the company’s vision for the future. If you are looking at a penny stock for sale outside of the exchanges, such as through OTC markets like Pink Sheets, use tools like Google’s or Yahoo’s finance websites to search for the type of penny stock you would like to buy. Researching directly through a reputable third-party source will ensure you aren’t being scammed, such as through emails or other marketing articles paid for by businesses looking to sell stock. If you want to buy a specific penny stock and can’t find any data on the company, watch out! If you are certain you want to invest, use google maps to determine whether the company has a legitimate place of business and is operating as it represents. A balance sheet lists all the assets the company owns, including cash, liquid investments, outstanding amounts owed by customers (receivables), equipment, real estate, and other forms of property. It also lists the amounts the company owes in liability to other companies, and the amount of equity in the company retained by the owners. Use the balance sheet to assess whether the company has enough cash and liquid assets on hand to pay the liabilities it owes in the next year (“short-term liabilities").

Keep your kitten in a separate room at night. Warm up a blanket for your kitten. Put away noisy toys. Implement the “do nothing” rule. Discipline your kitten with love. Provide breakfast that doesn’t require you to wake up.

While you might love the idea of snuggling up with your feline friend at bedtime, keep hyperactive kittens out of the bedroom until they've matured or adapted to your schedule.  When the time comes for bed, close the door and do not let your cat in. He may cry or scratch at the door for a bit, but as long as you do not reward the behavior by letting the cat in, he should stop.  If your kitten keeps scratching at the door for prolonged periods, try creating a device to deter him from going to the door. Try putting double-sided tape near the door, or vinyl carpet cover with the knobby side pointed upward. Sometimes, kittens disrupt owners' sleep because they miss the warmth of their mothers and siblings. If your cat wants to crawl into bed with you, try warming the cat's blanket in the dryer for twenty minutes before bedtime. Sometimes the most annoying part of a hyper kitten is the noise its toys make. Packing away the toys reinforces that night is time for sleeping instead. If the kitten is still active at night, provide quiet, soft toys instead of hard toys or anything that squeaks or jangles. If you have the space, set up the quiet nighttime toys in a separate area of your home. Choose a location with an appealing distraction, such as a quiet film or radio, or a window with a view of an outdoor light. Paying attention to hyper kittens encourages them to keep up that behavior. If a kitten bugs you to the point that you start playing with it, feeding it, or giving it some type of attention, it will repeat that behavior over and over, because it's trained you to respond! The first few nights will be difficult, but ignoring the kitten is the best way to teach it that you are not available 24/7. While not a quick fix, this type of training is important for a kitten’s future. Your kitten needs to learn early on that it cannot initiate feeding or play at any time of day. It may seem counter-intuitive, but if ignoring your kitten doesn't stop it from bugging you, reach out and give it a massive hug. You’ll notice...

Make plans to see friends regularly. Say “yes” to invitations to hang out or socialize. Be a good listener to your friends. Value high quality friends over having lots of friends.

Schedule in time to connect with your friends, even if you feel you are always busy. Make time for your friends so you can maintain an active social life. For example, you can try making regular coffee dates with a friend once a month on the same day so you can schedule around it. Or you may host game nights at your house with friends once a week so you all get to see each other. Do not shy away from spending quality time with your friends. Be open to trying new things and socializing with friends regularly. Opt for saying “yes” rather than “no” to invitations to hang out. You should also try to be on time and follow through if you agree to hang out with friends. Don’t be flaky or bail at the last minute unless you have a good reason. Friendship is all about give and take. Being a good friend, and keeping your friends, means listening to them when they need it. Try to listen to your friends if they need someone to talk to. Be there for them emotionally when they need it. You should also try not to judge your friends, as this can cause conflict in the relationship. Instead, listen and support them when they need it. Making good friends and maintaining a healthy social life takes time. Connecting to a lot of people may be challenging. Instead, focus on making one or two friends that you like and appreciate, or find a small group of people that you connect with on a deeper level.

Check out his profile first. Ask for help. Ask for recommendations. Use fake recognition. Make him laugh. Try a compliment.

See what common interests you have before initiating a conversation, so you have something to talk about. If most of his profile is set to private, you can ask him about his favorite movie or book to help get the conversation started. For instance, you could say, "I see your profile is set to private, so I'm curious why you're hiding your favorite book from people. What do you like to read?" Most people are willing to chat for a few minutes if you need some help. So ask for help with a problem you're having. If you don't actually have one, you could ask something about Facebook, such as the following: "I can never figure out how to break up my paragraphs in a post without making the post send. Do you know how to do that?" If you're new to the area (or even if you're not), try asking him for restaurant recommendations as a way to open up the conversation. Try asking a question such as "Hi, I'm new to the area. Can you recommend any good Japanese or Thai places in the area?" If he says yes, ask him if he'd be willing to meet you at one. That is, ask him if you've met him before. You can mention a place you go often. He'll say "no," but you can move on from there. For instance, you could say, "Have I met you before? You look so familiar. Do you go the Panera Bread on 10th Street?" People love to laugh, so you can draw him in by making him laugh. The best jokes are ones that will connect you. If you see he likes the same sports team as you, you could make a joke about how bad the team is doing, such as "I noticed you liked our local baseball team. They're doing so bad this year, I think my kid's little league team could beat them." People like to hear good things about themselves. Pick something you notice on his profile. It can be about his appearance, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, studies show that compliments not focused on appearance work best. You could comment on his taste in books: "You have great tastes in books! I loved The Ocean at the End of the Lane, too."

Choose the right mattress. Choose the right pillow. Keep your bedding clean. Make your bed. Set the proper temperature. Dress appropriately. Keep noise and distractions to a minimum.

Some people sleep better on firmer mattresses, while others prefer softer ones. You can choose whatever type feels best to you. Whatever material or level of firmness you choose, your mattress should feel supportive but comfortable so that you wake up feeling rested.  If you feel stiff or have aches upon waking, it can be a sign that a different mattress would help you sleep better. Look for a mattress that provides adequate support for your back and neck in particular.  Cover your mattress with whatever sheets and bedding you find comfortable. Change them in different seasons so that you stay warm or cool as needed. Most mattresses last about eight years, so think about replacing yours if it is old and uncomfortable. If your mattress is uncomfortable and you cannot replace it, you can make things better by using pillows properly. Select a pillow that feels comfortable to you, no matter whether it is soft or firm. You can also use several pillows if you like, but make sure that they do not push your head up at a sharp angle. Whatever position you sleep in, your pillow(s) should keep your head held supported between your shoulders—in the same position it would be in if you were standing up. You will sleep more comfortably knowing your bed is clean. Make sure to wash your bedding as frequently as you are able to, and any time it becomes especially dirty.  Follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing your sheets. If you have a mattress cover, wash it in hot water. You can dust your mattress with baking soda, then vacuum it up a day later. This will draw out moisture. Pillows can be washed or put in your dryer at a high temperature to clean them and kill dust mites. Put clean sheets, blankets, and pillows on your bed, and make sure they are neatly arranged. Also, make sure your bedroom itself is as clean and orderly as possible. Some evidence shows that a clean and orderly bed and bedroom can help you sleep more comfortably, perhaps because of a psychological effect. Your body’s temperature rises and falls...

Find an old dresser. Pull out all the drawers and interior hardware. Take apart the drawers. Attach a drawer face horizontally across the top of the open front of your dresser. Measure the height of the remaining opening in the front of the dresser. Measure the length of the drawer faces. Attach the remaining two drawer faces vertically on either side of the opening. Paint your faux fireplace. Make a base for your fireplace (optional).

The dresser should be roughly the size that you want your faux fireplace to be. Be sure to look curbside – and don’t worry about the color. This includes the screws and runners for the drawers. Your dresser should now be an open shell. Be sure to save the three nicest drawer faces and remove their handles; if necessary, fill any screw holes with wood putty, plaster, glue, etc. and let dry. In other words, the face of the drawer should be in the same position that the top drawer once was. Attach it by nailing it on with small, inconspicuous finishing nails or, preferably, by screwing it on starting from the inside of the dresser and screwing outwards through the back of the drawer face. Be sure to measure from the bottom of the newly-applied drawer face down to the bottom of the opening (but not to the floor). Since you will continue to “board up” the wide opening of the dresser by attaching a drawer face (oriented vertically) on either side of the opening, you will most likely need to adjust the size of either the drawer faces or of the dresser itself.  If the opening you measured in Step 5 is taller than the drawer faces are long, you will need to cut the bottom of the dresser off. If the opening you measured in Step 5 is shorter than the drawer faces are long, you will need to cut one end of each drawer face off. One drawer face should slightly overlap the right-hand side of the opening, one drawer face should slightly overlap the left-hand side of the opening, and the tops of both drawer faces should be against the bottom of the already-attached drawer face. If you cut the ends off your drawer faces, be sure to orient the cut ends downwards for a clean look.  Attach them to the left and right sides of the dresser by nailing them on with small, inconspicuous finishing nails or, preferably, by screwing them on starting from the inside of the dresser and screwing outwards through the back of the drawer face. To attach the side drawers to the top drawer, you will need small pieces of scrap wood. Align each...

If you aren't allowed to permanently alter the wall or don't want to spend time hanging normal wallpaper, consider covering the bad wall with adhesive renter's wallpaper instead.  The adhesive backing is roughly as strong as the glue on the back of a sticky note, if not a little stronger, so it's easy to remove. If you remove it carefully, you can often reuse it, too. If you need to cover the entire wall, measure the dimensions of the space and buy a large enough roll to fit your needs. This can be an expensive option, though, so you can also use smaller strips to cover small patches of imperfections if doing so would suit your needs. Like adhesive wallpaper, adhesive tiles are a good way to mimic the look of the real thing without committing to anything more permanent.  You can use this to cover a large wall, but it makes an especially useful option for small wall spaces like kitchen backsplashes. These tiles are also fairly thin, so you should have no difficulty trimming them down to better cover the size and dimensions of your space. Since the outer surface is smooth and hard, you should be able to keep them clean with a soft cloth. Like adhesive wallpaper, peel-and-stick tiles are relatively easy to remove. If any residue gets left behind, you should be able to clean it off with a standard household cleanser. If you're up to a challenge, use colored or patterned tape to create simple patterns over the wall. You can plan out the pattern so that the tape falls out over the imperfections you want to hide. Duct tape should adhere well and is available in a variety of styles, giving you more options to work with. Consider applying it in diamond patches, stripes, or zigzags. Vinyl décor decals are essentially large stickers designed for use on painted walls. Choose a design you like and simply adhere it directly over the spot you want to cover up. Note that this may work best when you're trying to cover simple flaws like stains or ink marks. Strange wall textures can still show through from the front of the...

Have whatever you need to make it through the illness nearby, which can include: blankets or robes to keep warm, a hot water bottle, books to read or movies to watch, fluids to drink, a bucket (if you feel nauseous), etc.  If you have a fever, also keep cool, damp cloths at hand. If you feel hot, place one on your forehead or elsewhere for some relief. Avoid smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke. The warmth will help soothe you so you will be primed to get comfortable and rest afterwards. Also, the steam moisturizes and soothes your nasal passages, which will make you feel better if you are congested. After the shower or bath, go back to the space you have set up to recuperate and stay warm by covering up with a blanket or robe. Sit back, relax, and stay comfortable.

The cat is a very social animal, and it is very difficult to train a cat to do something that it does not want to do.  The best way to train a cat is to make it do something that it does not want to do.  The best way to train a cat is to make it do

Prepare for the session. Provide one treat off the saucer, then withdraw the plate to the table. Stop the session when the treats are all gone or the cat loses interest. Begin to reward only more significant paw movements. Start to place your hand in the way of the cat’s paw as it comes back down. Raise your hand a little with each attempt towards the point where your cat is reaching its paw. Keep raising your hand higher and begin to rotate it to a horizontal position (palm facing to the side). Rotate your hand into the traditional “high five” position, with your fingers up and palm facing the cat. Continue the training.

Place ten dabs of tuna or your cat’s preferred reward around the rim of a saucer or small dish.  Find a quiet spot and sit facing your cat.  Place a chair or small table nearby, to the cat’s paw-side you want to use for the “high five” — that is, to your left and the cat’s right for the right paw. Please note:  This is the most involved method described in the article, and is a simplified version of one described by “clicker training” pioneer Karen Pryor. If the cat makes any type of movement toward the saucer, immediately “click + treat” by returning the saucer to the floor.  If, however, the cat leaps onto the table after the treats, calmly return the cat to the floor and present the saucer for a treat. If the cat makes no movement, lure it to move by sliding your hand toward the treat table.  Immediately “click + treat” any movement. Take it up again in a few hours or the next day.  Training before mealtime is often most effective. “Click + treat” only when the cat lifts its paw deliberately, then only clearly towards the treat. Become increasingly particular about the movements that you reward.  Eventually make only an upward-lifted and extended paw worth a treat. Place your palm up, so that the cat’s paw brushes it on the way back down.  Immediately “click + treat” contact with your hand. Keep going until your hand is at the cat’s shoulder height. Slowly but surely, you are making your hand, not the saucer, the cat’s focus. Make your cat reach ever further to contact your hand.  Reward only deliberate, forceful contact. Remove the reward saucer from the process over time.  Provide small hand-held treats as needed to keep the training going. Presenting your hand in this manner will become the cue for the action by the cat. Practice in different rooms and different environments.  Let other people try by offering the cue.  Add a verbal cue such as “high five” into the mix.

Consider paying the ETF. Cancel the contract and pay the fee. Think about selling your current phone.

Sometimes it just pays to fork over the ETF, and be done with the aggravation. If you’ve made up your mind that this is the route you want to take, find out the exact amount you owe by contacting the carrier directly. Notify the carrier of your decision. You may have to do this by phone, so a terribly distraught customer service representative can try to convince you to ease his or her pain by staying with the company. Maybe they’ll offer you an incentive to stay, like a phone upgrade even if you’re not due for one. If an incentive doesn’t do it for you, find out how the ETF will be paid, cancel, and bid the carrier farewell. You’re probably planning on moving to a new carrier, and taking advantage of one of their phone offers (especially since trying to convert your current phone to a new carrier’s system can be a hassle, at best). If that’s the case, think about selling your phone as a way of offsetting some of the ETF you had to pay. Companies like Gazelle.com and Glyde.com handle these types of transactions.

Whisk ingredients. Prepare the pan. Dip the toast. Cook the toast.

Put the eggnog, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Break the eggs into the same bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended. Pour the mixture into a wide, shallow dish. Take a nonstick skillet and coat it with butter or nonstick spray. Put it on the stove over medium heat. If you have an electric skillet, set the temperature to 300 degrees. Cut your French loaf into 12 even pieces. Each piece of bread should be about 1 to 1 1⁄2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) thick. Take a piece of bread and dip it in the egg mixture. Move the piece of bread around to make sure the side is coated. Flip the piece of bread over, coating the other side in the same way.  You can leave your bread in the mixture anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute. The longer you let it set, the more your bread will soak in the mixture. If you like bready French toast, don't let it soak too long. If you like moist French toast, let it soak longer. You can cut your pieces either thickness. The thicker the piece, the more bready your piece of French toast will be. Depending on how long your loaf is, you may have leftover bread. Take your coated bread and place it into your pan. Let it cook on this side until it is golden brown. Flip the bread over. Let it cook on this side until it is golden brown as well. Remove from the pan and place aside. Continue with each piece of bread until you have made them all. Top with syrup and butter or powdered sugar.  This recipe makes 6 servings. If you want to keep your toast warm while you cook, cover the plate of toast with aluminum foil or place in a warmed oven.

Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Be confident. Tell him when you appreciate the things he does. Stay independent. Surprise him with things he likes. Make him feel like a man. Keep flirting with him. Match his commitment level.

Guys love it when their partner is confident and bold. Take good care of yourself, and make an effort to look as good as you feel. Focus on the things that make you special, and emphasize those qualities. Don’t take him for granted. Let him know you really love how he stays calm in stressful situations, or that you especially appreciated that he cleaned the kitchen after he made dinner. Even if he doesn’t say anything, this will make him feel good about himself. You don’t want to lose yourself in a relationship, and you don’t want him to lose himself either. If you both stay independent by continuing to participate in your hobbies and spending time with your friends, you’ll have more to talk about and you’ll both respect each other more in the long run. As the two of you are getting to know each other better, make sure to ask him questions about what he likes. When he talks about that one thing that really makes his eyes light up, take note and try to find out more. Then, surprise him with a gift that shows you were listening, like a tee time at that ultra-exclusive golf course he mentioned. Making your guy feel like a big, strong man doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be weak. Build him up by giving him compliments that make him feel good about himself, or let him be chivalrous by holding the door open for you. When you boost his ego, he’ll want to spend more time around you. Flirting doesn’t have to stop just because you start dating. In fact, it’s more important than ever to keep doing the cute, flirty things that got him interested. Playfully touch him on the arm, brush up against him while you’re doing dishes together, or give him that look that lets him know you’re thinking of more than just what movie to watch. If he’s just coming around to the idea of being exclusive, you probably shouldn’t be shopping for monogrammed towels. This can make him feel overwhelmed and he’ll likely back away. If he’s sending mixed signals, back off and let him come to you.

If you are breastfeeding, you can use a carrier to help you get your baby to latch on.

Position your baby in the carrier. Adjust the height. Release your breast. Place your baby on your breast. Offer your baby your breast. Support your baby’s head. Cover your breasts if desired.

If your baby likes to nurse in an upright position, a structured carrier may be the best choice for you. Pass your baby’s arms and legs through the openings and then, together with the stretcher, pull the carrier to your chest. Set the straps on your shoulders, and hold your baby with one hand while you fasten the carrier with the other. Loosen the straps until your baby is lowered to the desired height, with his or her head against your chest. Always hold onto your baby with one hand, and be sure to secure the carrier well after you adjust it. If you have a shirt with buttons, undo them until you can fit your breast through the hole; otherwise, you can simply lift your shirt above your breast. Remove your bra, or lift your breast over the bra cup. Nursing bras can be tremendously helpful; they make it much easier to provide your baby access. However, normal bras will work; just lift your breast over the cup. Bring your breast to your baby’s mouth, holding with one hand until your baby is suckling securely. Hold your breast with one hand until your baby is suckling securely. If your carrier has head protection, use it. Otherwise, hold your baby’s head with one hand. If you are concerned about privacy or discretion, use your shirt to cover whatever parts you can. Be sure you give your baby room to breathe and nurse, though.

Feed Don't over feed your goldfish. Clean the fish tank monthly. Test your aquarium water weekly. Adjust the pH of the water, if necessary. Reduce the nitrates and ammonia in the water. Treat

your goldfish daily. Goldfish don’t need a lot of food but they do need some every day. If you just have 1 goldfish, a tiny pinch of fish food flakes 2-3 times a day will suffice. If you have more than once goldfish, you will need to add more flakes to the tank. In general, only feed your goldfish as much food as they can consume in 2-3 minutes. If food remains on the surface after that point, try to give them less next feeding time. No matter how much they beg, resist the urge to feed your fish more that 2-3 times a day. Goldfish will eat a lot more than they should, so it’s your job to keep them healthy and not overfed. Overfeeding a goldfish can make them unwell but it can also contaminate the tank with excess organic material. This will make your tank dirtier faster and will make the water less healthy for the fish. In order for a goldfish to remain happy and healthy, it needs to live in clean water. To do this, remove your fish and put them in a holding tank. Next take a quarter of the water out of the tank. Remove all items from the tank and rinse them in clean water. Scrub the sides of the tank and use a gravel vacuum to clean the gravel at the bottom. Finally, put everything back in the tank and add enough new water to fill up the rest of the tank.  Once the tank is full again, add chemicals to neutralize any chlorine that might be in the water you added. Never wash decorations or equipment with cleaner that isn’t marked as aquarium safe. Residue will likely remain on the surface, even after a thorough rinsing, which can potentially kill your fish. Use an aquarium test kit to check the pH, nitrate, and ammonia levels in your tank. These kits are available at all pet and aquarium stores. Follow the directions in the kit, which usually includes taking a small sample of the water from the tank, adding a specific amount of testing solution to it and then looking for a change in color. Most aquarium test kits test the pH, nitrate, and ammonia levels all in one test. The color of your results will tell you...

Master isolations. Learn how to "pop" with your abs. Balance. Hear the rhythm.

If you've ever taken a dance class, you're probably familiar with isolations. This is when you're moving a part of your body but nothing else -- hence isolating it. It may sound simple, but it's very difficult to move any part of your body without at least minimally affecting another. With the robotic like sounds of dubstep, it's essential. Stand in front of the mirror. Start with your head and neck and move down your body, attempting to rotate each part of you independently. Go counterclockwise and clockwise with every part -- your shoulders, chest, abs, hips, down to your ankles. Work with the smallest bits -- finger, fingers, wrists, forearms -- once you get the hang of it. Nothing else should be moving. When you get the hang of moving in circles, experiment moving up and down. You'll be moving on different planes while isolated for the majority of the time. For example, when moving your arm up and down, you're not using your wrist or elbow. Hold it strong, but move your arm leading with your shoulder; in fact, only your shoulder should be working. There are many helpful YouTube tutorials that take you through this process. Basically, you are moving your abs outwards and back in at a fast paced rate or to the beat of the music. With dubstep, that's pretty quickly. Think of your body like a clam shell that's opening and closing. Your top and bottom halves should be coming in to meet at the middle.  Practice this until you have it down, as it forms many of the basic moves to dubstep. You'll be doing a lot of work in slow motion. This means that the majority of the time your weight will not be evenly spread on both legs. And because of the smooth flow of the slow-mo parts and the choppiness of the glitchy parts, there is no wavering in dubstep. There will be times when you're on your toes or the sides of your feet. Start practicing now! Yoga will help, too. Unlike something classic like the waltz (a simple 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3), dubstep goes very fast; often you'll be hitting 1/8 notes and the likes thereof. If...

Grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread out a layer of toasted bread. Cover with a layer of apples. Lay out some of the nuts, dried fruit, and cheese. Pour some of the syrup over the ingredients. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm. Finished.

Make sure that the bottom and sides are well-coated.  Use an 11 by 7 by 2-inch (28 by 18 by 5-cm) baking dish. You could use butter or shortening to grease the dish instead of cooking spray, if desired. Note that the oven should still be preheated to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Layer roughly 1/3 of the toasted bread at the bottom of the pan, arranging it in as even a layer as possible. Try to cover the entire of the bottom in at least one layer, but do not exceed two layers of bread at the bottom. Lay roughly 1/3 of the apple slices over the top of the bread layer. Some recipes leave this fruit layer out completely. Other recipes use 2 to 3 peeled and sliced bananas instead of or alongside the sliced apples. Sprinkle 1/3 of the nuts, raisins, dried apricots, and shredded cheese over the apple layer.  A traditional Mexican cheese, like Cotija or Queso Añejo, would work best, but you can replace these hard-to-find cheeses with more common options like Monterey Jack, Longhorn Cheddar, and Colby cheese. Additionally, you can use chopped cubes of cheese instead of shredded cheese, if desired. Just know that the cheese will not spread out as evenly when using cubes. Pine nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts, and roasted peanuts are all good nut options. You can even use a nut blend, if desired. Just make sure that the nuts are chopped into small pieces regardless of the type. Pour 1/3 of the syrup over the bread, apple, and fruit layers. Make sure that the bread at the bottom is well coated in syrup. Let soak for 15 minutes. By letting the first layers rest, you give the syrup more time to soak into the bread and other ingredients. Arrange the remaining layers using the same pattern as before, and use 1/3 of the total amount of each ingredient each time. This means that you will have two more full layers after your initial layer. Let the bread pudding rest for 15 minutes after completing each full layer.

Base your diet around lean protein. Use whole-wheat carbs for energy. Enjoy some healthy fats. Consider taking Supplements.

Protein is the name of the game when it comes to building muscle — it's what your body uses to construct new, stronger muscle fibers out of your old ones. For this reason, anyone aiming to get big should make sure they're eating enough lean protein. Workout resources generally recommend about 40-60 grams of protein for most adults' meals (more if you are exceptionally large already.) For the most muscle-building benefit in the smallest caloric package, try to prioritize lean protein sources. A few examples include:  White meat chicken Leaner cuts of pork and beef Beans Lentils Tofu, soy, etc. Egg whites Low-fat dairy products Carbohydrates get a bad rap today, but truthfully they're absolutely vital for a healthy, energetic lifestyle. Whole-wheat carbohydrates provide filling, long-lasting energy that keeps you going throughout the day (including during your workout. Most workout resources recommend eating about 40-80 grams of carbohydrates per meal.  Carbohydrates made from whole-wheat grains are preferable to those that aren't — whole wheat products incorporate the entire kernel of wheat, which contains more nutrients and protein than "white" breads and the like, which tend to go heavy on sugar. Examples of healthy carbs include:  Whole wheat breads, pastas, crackers, etc. Brown rice Quinoa Steel-cut or old-fashioned oats Beans and legumes   In addition, most fruits and vegetables qualify as healthy carbohydrates (especially green leafy vegetables) and are rich in vitamins and minerals. Contrary to popular belief, "fat" is not a dirty word in the world of fitness. In fact, consuming a small amount of fat each day is a great way to build up a small, healthy reserve of energy (which can be a big help during a tough workout.) It's important, however, to moderate your fat intake — you'll only need about 5-10 grams per meal. Some sources of fat are healthier than others. Avoid processed fats, which you'll usually find in snack foods and which tend to lack nutrients. Instead, try one of these healthy fat sources:...

Wash the green beans in cold water. Cook the green beans for 5 minutes in boiling water.

Put the beans into a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Use your hands to swish the green beans around, before pouring out the water and repeating. Continue this process until the water is clear and the beans are clean. Strain the beans and toss them lightly to dry them.  If there are still flecks of dirt in the water, or you cannot get them completely clean, don’t worry too much. Blanching the beans will sterilize and remove any other impurities left on the green beans. If you choose to raw-pack your green beans, or can them without cooking them first, you will need to make sure the beans are completely clean. Transfer the green beans to a large pot and cover them with cold water. Place the pot over a medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, set a timer to cook the green beans for 5 minutes, or until just cooked and tender.  Cooking the beans isn’t necessary, but it will allow you to get more beans into each jar when you can them. If you choose not to cook the beans, it is referred to as cold-packing or raw-packing. Make sure the green beans are clean when you put them in the jars and skip this step. Cold-packing still requires the rest of the processing needed in hot-packing your green beans.

Read any introductory material that accompanies the document. Summarize. Ask questions. Make connections. Make inferences. Write down anything else you thought of while reading the document.

If you have found a primary source in an archive or online, there may be a short summary of the document set. If you are reading a primary source that your teacher or professor gave you, there may be a paragraph of introductory material.  If there is no introductory material at all, pay close attention to the title, author, and date. For example, if your textbook contains a diary entry from a Southern slaveholder written in 1840, perhaps the introductory material tells you how many slaves he held or where his plantation was. Primary sources are often very dense, and many are full of jargon.  Sometimes, especially if you are working with an older document, you will run into words and phrases that are unfamiliar to you.  Summarizing as you read will help you keep track of what the document is saying.  Jot down a short 5-10 word summary at the end of every paragraph or at least every section (if it’s a longer text).  Maybe the slaveholder’s diary begins with a paragraph all about the crops he is planning to plant this year. Your summary could simply say, “Crops = tobacco, wheat, corn.”  Bullet points, keywords, and lists are a great way to do this. Re-copying lengthy text directly into the margins is probably not that helpful. Consider a quick sketch in lieu of a written summary.  It doesn’t have to be anything fancy.  Venn diagrams, charts, stick figures, etc. are great. If something doesn’t make sense, write down your question about it. If an element of the text leaves you wanting to know more, write down your question about it.  If you come to a section in the slaveholder’s diary about one of his slaves falling ill, you might write, “Who is in charge of health on this plantation? Slaves? Or the wife of the slaveholder?” It’s important to put the document in the context of other things you know. You can try to make connections to other texts, lectures (especially if you’re analyzing the source for a class), your own life, or current events. Perhaps you saw the movie, Twelve Years a Slave.
