Roll the rest of the hair in rows at the bottom. | No matter what type of rollers you use, the size of the roller should determine the size of the sections you make when curling your hair. Use the roller width as a guide, and divide up your hair into rows and sections of about the same width as the roller. | For longer hair, you can use larger sized rollers, if you'd like. However, stick to smaller rollers for short hair. The hair must be able to go around the roller in an "S" shape in order to create curls. | If you don't want your hair to look board straight use the flat iron to flip the hair inwards or outwards at the bottom of the strands.

This is how you can create a chicken goulash or gumbo, which is great too! | Marinades are important in ensuring that your pork stays moist. You can make a glaze using almost anything that is sweet.

Especially not the honey that is used to glaze the pork belly, or it'll turn out like a "log of dry wood". Instead control the heat and please don't just leave the pork to burn on its own. Check up on it frequently. | 1 |

Understanding the motivations behind their behavior may make it a little easier to deal with them. | Do not get angry with your friend for self-injurious behavior or try to talk them out of doing it. Recovering from self-harming behavior is a slow process that takes a different amount of time for each person. | Remember that emotions or physical attractions can and must be controlled to match different social situations. Just because you have them does not mean it's okay to act on them all the time. Taking the time to create healthy relationships now gives you a long-term way to explore all your feelings safely. | Every person behaves in a passive aggressive way at times. It's a defensive and self-protective strategy. It gets out of hand when it's the only relational and coping mechanism that a person adopts, especially when that person works out that it is a great way to avoid conflict but still control people and relationships. | 3 |
2,221 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Cook Basmati Brown Rice | xxx | Consider using basmati brown rice instead of standard white basmati rice when preparing jeera rice. | For something a little different, consider serving an Indian style chicken curry with jeera rice, which is basmati rice flavored with jeera (cumin seeds). | In addition to plain basmati rice, you can also use basmati rice to make jeera rice, or basmati rice flavored with jeera (cumin seeds). | For a slightly different twist, you can try serving biryani with jeera rice, a traditional Indian basmati rice flavored with jeera (cumin seeds). | 0 |

(You may doesn't want to buy a small litter box for your Syrian hamster!) | You can keep just 1 goat, but they'll be happier if you have at least 2 goats. Goats will also play with dogs and other livestock. | Try to look at night as the hamster will be moving around, you could probably hear it nibbling if it's hungry.

Do not stop running just because you are far behind. Each marathon run will improve your time and distance at the next race. | If you have an upcoming race, try to replicate the length and conditions of the race while you train so you're more prepared. For example, if the course you'll be racing on is a 5K with a lot of hills, practice running up and down hills and go for 5K long runs. | As in many things, figuring out what you want and how to enact your plan is the best way to begin a new life. It is similar to running a marathon. You don't decide to run a marathon and go out the next day and run 26.2 miles (42.2 km). You plan, and gradually increase the distances you run each week. | 3 |
2,227 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Comb an Afro | xxx | Lighten your hair in the evening before you go to bed. Your skin swells up too much as you sleep.

2,230 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Write Contracts Between Bands and Booking Agents | xxx | Many title loan companies will manage the process of reporting the discharge of the loan to the appropriate agency, as well as arranging for you to receive an updated title. Others will provide the release documents that you must take to the agency personally. When this is the case, call ahead and ask an agency official what other documents, such as loan agreements or proof of identity, must be brought in along with the release documents. | Most artist unions have pre-printed form agency agreements that artists can look at or use for creating a booking agent agreement. | Have a friend or legal consultant read through legal paperwork or agreements that come with any MLM or affiliate marketing relationship. | Employers draft the severance agreement to be as beneficial to them as possible. As an employee, you should have a potential agreement reviewed by a lawyer before signing any agreements. | 1 |
2,231 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make Cleaning Fun | xxx | When running at someone or when someone is trying to cut you off or reroute you, run in a direction so as to force them to make the most acute turn possible. This will require them to place all of their weight on one foot and lean their center of gravity. Unless this person is an athlete, they may fall over or stumble, but they will always have to stop all forward momentum. | You're better off going faster than you think you should. Doing tricks down stairs at a slow speed can lead to bruises or even broken bones if you just slam and stop where you are. | Like Twister, stand in one place and see how many things you can pick up without taking steps. | Forget about looking cool or attempting fancy tricks until you master the basics, including balancing, pushing and stopping.

Just make sure you remove them after you take care of the smoke. | Wear ear protection when you test the smoke alarm. It's very loud and you will be right next to it when you're testing it. | Place your smoke detector on the inside of the door to your room, near the top (you can hang it on a hanger if it doesn't have a magnet or adhesive).

2,234 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Microwave a CD | xxx | Turn out the lights and draw the curtains for best visual effects. Take along the camera if you'd like to photograph or film the experiment. When using a camera in darker conditions remember to use a reliable balancing tool such as a tripod. Taking handheld photographs in any dark room will cause unwanted blurry effects from camera shake. | If you accidentally change the setting on your camera for a few images, you may be able to edit them individually in a photo editor to stop them from standing out. Alternately, try making the whole image black and white to hide any differences in color. | To avoid underexposing a candlelit shot, set the camera to spot metering mode and aim for the subject if there is one besides the candle; otherwise, the candle will dominate the photo and all else will be underexposed. It really depends on the look you're after though (see the comment on creating shadowed effects above). | Try stacking your lightning shots with image editing software. Sometimes a session of lightning photography doesn't yield any big impressive pictures but instead gives you quality shots of many small discrete lightning strikes. Through an image processing method called stacking, you can combine these all into one picture. It is essential that you do not change lens focal length or move the camera or tripod between shots, otherwise photo stacking will not work due to misalignment of stationary elements in the scene. | 0 |

If you eat lunch in the middle of your work day, you may find it challenging to find a variety of healthy, satisfying, and low-carb meals near your place of employment. Save money — and eat better — by packing your lunch the night before. Make a dish that will hold well, and taste just as good cold.

These will serve your cat portions of food even if you are not home. | Try to cut restaurants out of your social endeavors. This can be tough, as food is often a key ingredient of social gatherings.

If the person doesn't add anything positive to your life (like fun or support), it might be time to let the relationship fade. | Give it time. You never know if your best friend will have a change of heart, especially if you're keeping up the emotional intimacy of your friendship. The worst-case scenario is that you move beyond this pain and try to become best friends again. | A friendship needs to be two-sided to work, just like a romantic relationship.

Also include information reflecting how you perceive the current situation, with a few details on the conversation you had, and what you felt after the fact. | Write it all in a letter. If it is difficult for you to find time to talk with your girlfriend, try to communicate with her another way. You can write her a letter or an email where you explain what you're feeling. Not only will this open up another method of communication, but it will also give her a chance to digest what you have said. | You can write him a letter if telling him in person is too nerve-wracking, but talk about it in person after you give him the letter. | This is a conversation you'll want to have in person. Don't call or text your friend to confess your love. It can be awkward to get your emotions across these ways. It can even be considered somewhat rude to not take the time to talk in person. | 2 |

The enormous Mexican varieties (such as Maradol) may take longer to ripen, and have a significantly different flavor. | In areas where cantaloupes grow, the melons taste best in summer. Although often available the rest of the year, these imports or off-season harvests don't have as good a taste. | 1 |

2,242 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Receive a Congressional Medal of Honor | xxx | The King occasionally grants knighthoods to non-subjects, but these honors do not add a title. In other words, address an English knight as "Sir" but an American knight as "Mr". | The primary reference source for legal citations is known as “The Bluebook, a Uniform System of Citation.” Lawyers and law students mostly refer to this just as “The Bluebook.” Don't confuse it with the Kelley Blue Book, which provides information on the value of motor vehicles. These are two very different reference books. | Many people refer to the medal as the “Congressional Medal of Honor,” as the Department of Defense provides the award in conjunction with the Congress. However, its true name is the “Medal of Honor.” It can also be confused with the “Congressional Gold Medal,” which is awarded to scientists and the like. | While many people call the flag described in this article the Confederate flag, it's actually not the official flag of the Confederacy. The “stainless banner” you see above was the battle flag of the Confederacy. | 2 |

Many times, you can approach the research with a broader theme in mind and something in what you read will jump out at you and trigger a desire to dig up more information related to that particular item. | Review the areas you have mastered. Chemistry is the type of subject that builds on what is learned, to then move on to the next area. But you still need to keep the learned material fresh in your mind so you are not surprised by a question on an exam. | Choose easy topics to learn about or start with something you already know about. | 3 |

Look for several signs she secretly likes you to be sure. | Don't make it obvious that you like him, send him a few friendly messages and see where it goes from there. | Don't go overboard. Don't ignore him or brush him aside. To make someone really get interested in you is to hand them half of the information and them make them beg for the rest. | Don't give up if she is not showing the same signals because she could just be too scared to try. Don't harass her however, no means no. | 0 |

It's normal to feel overwhelmed and incapacitated by it. Try, however, to take the long view. Long-term treatment can be very effective, provided you stay committed to it. There is no cure for DID, but it can be treated and managed, along with accompanying symptoms. | Everyone deals with pain differently, including having their own levels of pain tolerance. Rarely are different people able to use the exact same pain-reducing methods and receive the same results. Some may work really well for you. Some may not work at all. Do not be disheartened if this occurs to you, during your search for relief. | Recognize that neuropathic pain can be difficult to treat. Because the underlying cause may not be known, it can be difficult to achieve total pain relief. | If surgery is an option for pain relief, be sure to discuss this thoroughly with your doctor before deciding what to do.

This will help to prevent the spread of disease to healthy branches. | If you don't notice any dead or damaged sections and you are happy with the way the plant looks, there is no need to prune. Oleander doesn't require pruning. | 1 |
2,252 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Be Manly | xxx | Always be honest. Of course, this does not mean the brutal verbal slaying of someone who comes to you for an honest opinion of how they have been doing. What it does mean is that you owe them the best feedback you can give. Always give them positive feedback as well, because something is never 100% pure bad. | Hurting or abusing someone or child is cowardly and unspeakably damaging, be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or sexually. Manly men should know how to differentiate strength from abuse, and have a feel for limits. If you are being told that you don't, work it out: this line differentiates the most respected men from the most despised. | Make sure you handle serious subjects like rape, murder, and violence against minors and/or animals with maturity and respect; otherwise the reader will notice very quickly that you are merely trying to shock the audience, you could also offend a large majority of readers with this insensitivity. Remember it's not about censoring yourself, it's about having respect for other people's views. | Don't move faster than she is comfortable with. Don't push her into anything she won't do with gentle prodding. Be VERY sensitive to what she is comfortable with. Make sure she is always comfortable, unless you are "pushing the envelope". A hint of threat or danger is very attractive, when used skillfully. Do not hit, or being abusive; rather, make her feel vulnerable around you. This is easily accomplished with your ability to read faces, body language and ephemerides, but it must be used when it is appropriate. Properly used (usually best on women you have only known for a short time, and women who tend to hide themselves, like women with heavy Scorpio influence), you can enchant and bedazzle them this way. Making her feel vulnerable, yet safe, demonstrates you are a master of your surroundings, and thus a strong, desirable man. | 1 |

2,255 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Help an Autistic Child Cope with Having to Get Surgery | xxx | The DID system serves a person well in childhood when abuse occurs but it becomes dysfunctional when no longer needed, typically in adulthood. This is when most people seek out therapy in order to deal with a now chaotic adulthood. | Some degree of demand avoidance is common in autistic people, especially under stress. But in PDA, the demand avoidance is extreme, and it happens every day. | Both autism and ADHD can be more obvious in childhood, and seem to decrease later in life. This is often due to coping mechanisms that the person has built, as autism is lifelong and the majority of people don't outgrow ADHD. | It's not uncommon for autistic children to have a different recovery time than non-autistic children, since autistic people manage pain and stress differently. | 3 |

2,258 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Plant Brazilian Waterweed | xxx | If you're taking on live plants for the first time, take time and care with them, and don't try for more than you can handle. If you've never dealt with live aquarium plants before, try starting with a single hardy plant, such as an Aponogeton bulb or a ribbon plant. It is a good idea to quarantine live plants before adding them to your tank. This helps prevent breakouts of unwanted snails and hydra. | Since they grow quite rapidly, you'll need to trim Brazilian waterweeds frequently so they won't crowd your aquarium. | If you use a container, go with the biggest pot you can afford.

Place saplings of one of those two trees in a 2X2 formation to get massive trees. Start placing blocks in whatever design you'd like and build up from there. Finally, put a roof on and furnish it. | You may also choose to install pavers on your own to cut down on labor costs.

2,278 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Admit Cheating on a Loved One | xxx | Realize that you might be at fault too and you may need to deal with that before blaming anyone else first. | Turn off the blame, as much as possible. Even if you feel he pushed you into this pattern, take responsibility for your part as well. | Explain that your partner was not at fault. Your partner's self esteem will take a hit when they hear the news. They might even begin blaming themselves. Take the time to emphasize that the mistake is yours alone. | You might be partially to blame for the problem. By acknowledging where you went wrong, the other person might apologize as well. | 2 |
2,279 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make Multiple Users of a Windows Computer Use the Same Virtual Machine | xxx | If you intend to install multiple operating systems on one hard disk, it is highly recommended that you create multiple partitions for each operating system. The file system used ought to be FAT32 as it is unanimous for data that will be shared amongst the operating systems. | You do not need to be tied down to just one OS. You can install most operating systems to a single hard drive, and you can select your operating system during boot-up. Using a Microsoft Windows product does not prevent you from also installing a Linux or BSD OS on the same computer. | If you're looking to install AWB on a Mac, it's not available natively. You can run it in a virtual machine with Windows installed (no malware risk, use macOS and Windows simultaneously) or via Boot Camp (running Windows at once). | Make sure you use individual hard disks for each installation to avoid boot conflicts. For example, having Linux, XP, and Server2003 on a single virtual hard disk is a huge no no | 3 |
2,280 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Ensure a Happy Life for Your Guinea Pig | xxx | If your cat doesn't drink a lot of water, try using water fountains or bubblers. | If your hamster does not want to climb in your hands, you may need to make a makeshift scoop by cutting a one-liter plastic soda bottle in half. Eventually, your hamster may feel comfortable enough to walk on your hands rather than inside the bottle. | If your guinea pig is struggling to drink out of their water bottle, switch to a water bowl instead. | If your Maine Coon is not drinking enough water, then you can try giving him some canned food. Some cats also like to drink from cat water fountains more than from a regular bowl. | 2 |
2,281 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Look People in the Eye | xxx | Avoid eye contact and mind your own business. This helps to prevent friction with anyone else in the bar. | Short but frequent eye contact is least likely to cause offense. | Cats feel threatened if a person stares directly into their eyes.

Make your eye contact naturally and less intimidating. | 1 |
2,282 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Sleep in a Single Bed With a Partner | xxx | If this is your first time sleeping in a single bed together, have the 'insurance' option of a blanket and pillow either on the floor or on the sofa. | Put your sleeping bag, floor mat, blanket and ground sheet in a bedding roll. | Make sure your room or wherever you are sleeping is big enough and has plenty of blankets and pillows. | Add an extra pillow or two to your bed to aid sleeping. | 0 |

2,284 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the USA | xxx | Although an LLC offers limited liability, the reality is that you will probably need to personally guarantee any business loans. This means you are on the hook for the loan if your business can't pay it back. | You can avoid a credit check altogether by buying a used car with cash. However, paying with cash has a downside: you won't be able to re-establish your credit. Instead, try to qualify for a loan, even one with a high interest rate, and make sure the lender reports payments to the credit reporting agencies. | Since laws vary, it is important to talk with a legal professional and/or a financial professional about the viability of obtaining a collateral loan with the use of your pension as security. If this option is not available in your jurisdiction, the professional can often recommend other means of obtaining financing. | Ask for a personal guaranty if you are working with a corporate client on a big project. The owners of corporations and LLCs are shielded from liability if their businesses can't pay bills. By getting a guaranty, the owner agrees to be personally responsible for the debt. | 0 |
2,285 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Replace a Window | xxx | It's always best to have a partner to help you with the window. That way, one of you can be inside and one of you can be outside. | It's a good idea to ask someone to help you install the gutters. Long gutters can be difficult for one person to maneuver alone. | It's okay for your partner to be avoidant. Work with them rather than trying to change them. | Having an extra set of hands helps a lot. Recruit a friend to hold the old light as you detach it from the ceiling, then support the new light as you wire it. | 0 |
2,286 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Apply Hoof Oil | xxx | Most dogs don't need a coat as they already have a warm, waterproof one which suits them quite well. Make sure this is something your dog needs before spending money on one. | An old toothbrush is very useful for cleaning the crevices of your horse's hooves. Just be sure to rinse it after use on each hoof to prevent the spread of thrush from one hoof to another. | Although cactus water is a great addition to hydrating fluids, it shouldn't be the only type of fluid you drink. Make sure to include plain water as well. | Remember that most horses don't need hoof oil. The best moisturizer for hooves is water. | 3 |
2,287 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Determine Whether a Perfume Is Authentic | xxx | For longer lasting perfume, dab a little vaseline or petroleum jelly on areas where you will apply perfume. | Consider adding a drop or two of essential oil to your makeup. You only want to add a small amount, so that doesn't change the consistency of your final product. Lavender and rose essential oils are especially popular. | Check for clarity. Authentic perfume is always clear, without sediment or unusual discoloration. | Often specimens may have a faint odor after coming out of the salt. To alleviate this, place the sample in potpourri, or spray with strong perfume to cover over any odor. You might also consider dipping the sample in rubbing alcohol to eliminate any possible germs. Be sure to dry off immediately afterward. | 2 |
2,288 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Learn Icelandic | xxx | If you can't speak Icelandic, this is not a problem; in fact, if you try to speak Icelandic, the locals may not understand you, unless you have had some formal tutoring in the language. Most Icelanders can speak English, as many go to Britain to study. | Because Icelandic is a Germanic language, you may find it a bit easier to speak and understand if you already know German. Many words are similar. For example, potato in Icelandic is kartöflur, similar to the German Kartoffel. | Because Swedish is a Germanic language, you may find it easier to speak and understand if you already have a familiarity with German. | Pronouncing these words just like how a real Spanish speaker would is crucial for "selling" them. This site has a very extensive guide to Spanish pronunciation that can be very helpful. | 1 |
2,289 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Figure Out if Your Guy Is Mad at You | xxx | The best attitude when beginning a relationship is to not obsess over it. Being in love is very exciting, but if you let it become the sole source of happiness in your life, it could also be your biggest downfall if the relationship fails later. Keep up with other hobbies/activities that entertain you, and try to keep yourself busy when you're away from her. | If this is a regular occurrence, evaluate the relationship. Be prepared to end it if you can't seem to go through a day without an issue. | Be patient during rough patches. Every relationship has its ups and downs; don't give up on the relationship just because things feel tense or awkward for a couple of days. If you do the right things, you will get through it. | Plan to end the period of ignoring. It shouldn't go on indefinitely if you plan to live with this person. Choose a time to talk and work things out. | 1 |
2,290 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make Oxygen and Hydrogen from Water Using Electrolysis | xxx | If you're having trouble making a rubber band core, start with several short rubber bands instead. Wad them into a ball and pinch them together as you wrap thinner rubber bands around them. Some people find this easier, but the core will end up lumpier and may spring apart before it has a solid layer wrapped around it. | You can also make styluses in different shapes. Any object you can attach foil and a q-tip/sponge or wire and some conductive foam to will work. If pens and highlighters are not comfortable for you to use, try experimenting with differently-shaped objects to see what you prefer. | If you can't find graphite pencils, you can use little pieces of wire instead and just wrap them around the battery on one end, and leave the other end in the water. This has the same effect as the pencils. | If you use regular "magic" gloves from the store, remember to make a hem on the ends or they risk unraveling. The easiest way to do this is to carefully singe the tips with a match or lighter so that the plastic fibers will melt and seal together. | 2 |
2,291 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Grow Roses | xxx | Add about 3 drops of lemon juice or lemonade to the mixture to make it a bit more sour if you need to. | If you're making lemonade to sell it, keep thin lemon slices and mint leaves in jars so that they stay fresh. | If you want to sell more lemonade, make homemade lemonade.

2,292 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Overcome Your Fear of Going over Bridges | xxx | If you find your mind wandering, you can catch yourself and guide yourself to return to your safe place. While some mind wandering is natural, you should try to focus on your safe place to prevent anxious or stressed emotions from surfacing. | While you cannot change our thoughts per se, you can change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings, including fear. Trying to stop your mind from feeling fear will only make you more focused on our distress. | Be kind to yourself. Frequently we are miserable simply because we have no goodwill towards ourselves. Trying to destroy aspects to the mind will force the mind to protect what you are trying to destroy - this is the defense capability of the mind when it is under attack. | If that's not possible, remove yourself from the situation or take action. And if none of the practices are possible, as your pain could be deep, then you will suffer. However, even acute suffering has potential to force you to surrender and disidentify from your mind. That's why it is said that suffering has a noble purpose. | 1 |
2,293 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Sweeten Your Watermelon | xxx | If you can't find fresh pumpkin at your grocery store, you can use a can of pumpkin puree instead.

2,295 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Prevent Freezer Burn | xxx | If you need to store a frozen drink after you prepare it, place it in a freezer-safe dish with a lid and keep it in the freezer. You can usually keep it in there for a few hours before the consistency will begin to deteriorate. | Wrap the item in freezer paper or store in a freezer bag to keep freezer burn at bay. | Freeze smaller infested items, such as stuffed animals, that aren't machine washable. Put the item in a plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal tightly. Place the item in your freezer for two to three days, remove the bag, and wait until it's thawed to remove the item from the bag. | Don't assume that store packaging will be sufficient to protect new food from freezer burn.

2,298 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Use Retin A | xxx | If your acne isn't improving after treating it for a few weeks, schedule an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist. Some forms of acne are stubborn and can only be effectively treated with prescription drugs and/or medicated lotions. | Whatever treatment you use will take time to work.

If this cuts into time you'd like to devote to other projects, or if your relaxation methods are costly (such as "retail therapy" or dining out), this may be a hidden job cost. A less stressful, lower paying job may be worth it if you end up happier and thriftier in your off-the-clock life. | Physically strenuous work, sedentary work, psychologically stressful work, and job dissatisfaction are risk factors for back pain. Try to limit stress and moderate your lifestyle. Back pain can lead to significant disability at work, which is a cause for Worker's Compensation. | Signs of depression include sadness or feelings of emptiness that last for 2 weeks or more, agitation, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, withdrawal from normal activities, changes in weight or appetite, changes in sleep habits, feeling hopeless or helpless, and suicidal thoughts.
