Use pliers to bend 18 to 24 inches (45 to 61 cm) of framing wire into a hook. The indentation for the hook should lie at the exact center and should be about 4 inches (10 cm) deep. Bend either end of to the side and away from the indentation in a spiral or curlicue. Make sure that the framing wire is sturdy enough to hold your plate. Size #2 wire is usually strong enough and holds up to 51 lbs (23 kg) standard. This can vary based on the manufacturer, though, so check the label specifications before you pick the wire gauge. Look at the front of the plate to determine where the center top should be. Hold the wire against the back of the plate so that the hooked indentation lies at this center top, oriented upward. Adhere the wire to the back of the plate in this position using a hot glue gun.  Apply hot glue in between the wire and the plate. You should also get glue along the sides and top of the wire. The more you use, the more secure the bond will be. Do not allow any hot glue to get onto the hook/indentation. Wait 5 to 20 minutes, giving the glue plenty of time to cool and harden. The hot glue can be difficult to remove later on, so you should only use this technique if you do not plan on ever using the plate for practical purposes. Apply several layers of duct tape over the glued wire and onto the back of the plate.  You should cover all parts of the wire except for the hook/indentation. Make sure that none of the tape is visible from the front of the plate. Carefully bend the exposed wire indentation back, bringing it out at an angle. There should be roughly 1/2 to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) of space in between the top of the indentation and the back of the plate.  The wire should not wiggle or break off from the plate as you bend the hook out. If it does, you need to use more hot glue and/or duct tape to secure the bond better. This bent portion of the wire is where the nail will rest. Position the plate against the wall to determine where you want it to hang. Mark the top of the plate, then set it down and measure the distance between the top of the plate and the top of your hooked wire. Make a second mark on the wall matching this distance, then firmly hammer the nail into this second mark.  Trace your marks lightly using a pencil so that you can erase them later. Use a nail with a large head or a special picture hanger. At least half of the nail should be inside the wall, but you should also have 1/2 to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) of nail extending out from the wall for the wire hanger to rest on. Carefully rest the hooked wire onto the nail in the wall. With this, the process should be finished.  If the hook seems loose as you hang the plate, reinforce it with more glue or tape. If the nail does not seem secure, you may need to use a different nail or choose a different spot. If the plate appears crooked, try bending the top of the wire so that the nail rests on it differently. If this does not work, you will need to scrape off the tape and glue so that you can reposition the wire.

Lemon juice is full of citric acids, which have a bleaching effect when they are repeatedly applied to hair.  You will most likely need to repeat this process several times to see a significant change in your hair color. If you have several hours to mix lemon juice into your hair and sit out in the sun, consider the methods listed in this article: Use Lemon Juice to Lighten Hair. If you are looking for a quicker solution, read on. You will need about one cup of concentrated juice.  You may also use limes, grapefruit, or any other fruit that contains a high concentration of citric acid.  To make your own: Buy or pick four lemons. Slice the lemons in half. Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl, or use a juicing device. Lemon juice is very acidic. Consider mixing 1/4 cup of water into every cup of lemon juice to avoid damaging your hair. If you use shampoo, make sure that it is thoroughly lathered into your hair. Make sure to mix it deeply into the roots. Be sure to shut your eyes tightly to keep out the lemon juice. The citric acid will burn if it makes contact with your eyes. It is important that you give the citric acid time to leach into your hair, but you do not want to leave the mixture in for too long--prolonged exposure to citric acid can damage your hair. The citric acid in lemon juice tends to have a drying effect on hair, and you do not want to risk damaging your locks. Again, you will most likely need to do this several times before you notice a significant difference.

Wash your hair, and keep the lemon juice solution handy. Rub the lemon juice into your hair while it is still wet. Wait for 2-5 minutes, then wash out the shampoo and the lemon juice. Rub conditioner into your hair to keep it from drying out. Repeat the process once a week until your hair is the color that you want.


Put it on medium heat with a grill rack on top. If you’re using a charcoal grill, get the coals going nice and hot. Make sure your grill is clean before you use it. Put some vegetable oil on a paper towel and wipe down the grate, one by one. Using oil can also help to prevent sticking. You can also halve small aubergines lengthwise instead of slicing vertically. Brush slices on all sides generously with olive oil, melted butter, or cooking oil. This adds flavor and keeps them from sticking to the grill rack, too. Alternatively, you can grill eggplant whole or sliced in half over a medium to hot flame for 15 to 20 minutes until the skin is blackened. Pierce the skin when cooking aubergines this way to get heat into the center. You can also brush the aubergine with oil-based marinade instead of the oil or butter. Any marinade that works on other vegetables will work on aubergine, too. If you’re working with small slices, lining the grill with foil will be best to keep the slices from falling through the grate. It also keeps the oil on top and redistributable. Pierce a few holes into the foil to allow the heat to transfer more quickly. For both a charcoal and gas grill, place the aubergine on a rack directly above the heat. A gas grill should be covered; a charcoal grill should not.  When finished, turn off the heat, leave the foil, and transfer the aubergine to a plate. Give both the aubergine and the foil a few minutes to cool down before either are touched. The aubergine is now good to be added to a salad or a stir fry, or even eaten alone with your dipping sauce of choice. It can even be kept for later as part of a soup or stew.
