INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While it seems like all doorbells should be able to withstand varying weather conditions, that’s unfortunately not the case. Be sure to choose one that will last throughout the seasons and won’t be damaged by fluctuating temperatures, rain, or snow. Look for a bell with packaging that specifically states it is weather-resistant or weatherproof. Because wireless bells use radio waves to transmit the signal, you should pick one that can operate on multiple frequencies. This will ensure that neither your neighbor’s wireless doorbell nor their garage door opener signal your own doorbell to chime. If you find that there is interference, simply change the privacy code on the bell to adjust the frequency. The size of your home will determine the range that you’ll need. A standard wireless doorbell has a range of 150 feet (46 m). If the interior of your home has a distance greater than this, you’ll need to choose a bell with a wider range. Interior walls can also interfere with the range of a bell, so take your room configuration into account. If you have your heart set on a certain bell, but the range is insufficient, buy an extender to increase the range so that it can be heard throughout your home. If you have a large home, you may want to place receivers in more than one location. For instance, you may want one on every level of your home, or you may wish to place an additional receiver somewhere where it may be difficult to hear the main receiver, such as the laundry room. Wireless doorbells need a power source, and you have a choice of what kind of source you prefer. If the location you’d like to put the bell and receiver are near outlets, then you can go with an electric bell. If there’s not an outlet handy, you may want to choose a battery-operated doorbell—just be sure to stock up on extra batteries and change them out when needed.

SUMMARY: Pick a doorbell that is heat and water resistant. Choose a doorbell with varying frequencies. Ensure the range is sufficient. Decide how many receivers you would like. Pick between battery-operated or electric power.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Be aware that rubbing alcohol is toxic and flammable. Always use rubbing alcohol in a well ventilated area and wash your hands thoroughly after handling it. Keep it away from children and pets.   If handled with caution rubbing alcohol is entirely safe. One benefit of rubbing alcohol is that most people already have it in their medicine cabinet. After doing so thoroughly, let the carpeting dry. If the oil stain is still visible, repeat the process using more rubbing alcohol. As rubbing alcohol is a solvent, it will help to dissolve the oil and separate it from carpet fibers. Once the carpeting has sufficiently dried and the stain has been erased, rinse the entire area with water, and blot the water out with a fresh cloth or paper towels. This should take care of any residual alcohol and reduce the odor.  Do not use air fresheners or fragrances to deal with the smell, as this may only make matters worse. Open windows and turn on a fan; improving ventilation is the best approach.

SUMMARY: Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth or paper towel. Press the rubbing alcohol onto the stained carpeting. Remove excess rubbing alcohol from the carpeting.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure that the financial information you gave to the court was accurate. You will not be given a court-appointed attorney if you can afford to pay for one yourself. Review your finances and to be sure that having to hire an attorney would be a hardship for you and your family. Ask the court clerk what forms you need to submit to appeal the court’s decision denying your request for a court-appointed attorney. Forms vary from state to state and county to county. Take your completed paperwork to the clerk’s office to submit it. Be sure to attach any supporting documentation required by the forms. Once you have submitted your appeal, wait for the court to send you a copy of its decision. Be sure to observe any deadline for filing your appeal. If you received your initial denial of your request for a court-appointed attorney by mail, it should have contained a deadline to file an appeal. These deadlines may be very short. In Alaska, for example, the deadline is three days.

SUMMARY: Review your financial information again. Locate the proper forms. Submit your forms.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Coloring is not just for kids anymore. You'll find a range of books made for adults on many online retailers and in many big-name book stores. Alternatively, many websites have pages you can print out for free. In fact, coloring can be stress-reducing, so it has other benefits. If you enjoy getting creative, try crafting while you are laid up with a broken foot. You may need some help getting set up, but once you are, you can settle in to make anything you'd like. If you need ideas to get started, try sites like Martha Stewart's website or Pinterest. If you're laid up with a broken leg, that means you'll have plenty of computer time. A blog is a great way to keep your mind occupied, and many sites let you host one for free, such as Blogger. Write one about your life, or start a blog on what you are an expert on. They can be on anything, from cooking to parenting. If blogging isn't your thing, you can still spend some time writing. Work on that novel you've been thinking about for years, or try your hand at a few poems. If you're not sure where to start, try checking out an e-book on writing from your library. If you've never crocheted before, you can get started pretty easily. You'll need a few basic supplies, including a hook, yarn, and scissors. You can find many tutorials online for how to crochet. Try videos on YouTube to get started.  Get an I-9 hook. Crochet hooks are listed either by letter (I) or number (9), though many list both. The I-9 is a medium-to-large hook that is a good place to start.  Pick a medium weight yarn (look for the number "4"). Try to pick a solid, bright color to begin.  Have a pair of scissors on hand for snipping the yarn.

SUMMARY:
Color with adult coloring books. Craft to your heart's content. Start your own blog. Take up writing. Take up crocheting.
