Problem: Article: Clean a large mixing tray (it should be able to hold at least 23 gallons). Dump the steamed rice into the tray. Stir in 360 ml of ice and break up any chunks. Slip a thermometer into the ice and rice mixture and monitor it until it reaches 70° F (21° C). It should look to be of uniform consistency. Uncover the bowl of yeast, water, and koji mixture. Dump this mixture into a 30-gallon stockpot. Add the cooled rice to the stockpot and then cover the stockpot. Leave this mixture to soak at room temperature. Place the covered stockpot in a room where it won’t be disturbed. Leave it out at room temperature for 3 days. Monitor the temperature of the mixture – it should be kept around 70 °F (21 °C) during these 2 days. Use a clean spoon to stir the mixture twice a day during this time. Replace the lid after stirring. After 3 days, the rice will be almost liquid. After the third day of stirring at 12-hour intervals, put the lid on tightly and leave the stockpot alone. You won’t need to stir or do anything for the next 6-7 days.
Summary: Chill the steamed rice until it reaches 70° F (21° C). Mix the cooled rice with your yeast starter mixture. Set the mixture aside for 3 days, stirring every 12 hours. Leave the mixture alone for the next 6-7 days.

Problem: Article: Cracked sockets are often caused by other objects bumping into the fixture, or too much stress while removing a bulb. First, turn off the power to the light, and remove the bulbs. Keep the wiring order straight as you take out the old socket. It is important to cut only one wire lose at a time. Strip each wire back by 1/2 in., and put the stripped wire end into the terminal slots of the new socket. Do this for each wire. The ballast controls the amount of incoming voltage that start the light tubes. It also regulates the electricity to give constant light. If you believe that the ballast needs replacement, you may want to consider purchasing a whole new fixture. Ballast replacement may cost the same amount as a new fixture. A humming sound produced by your fluorescent light fixture usually indicates that the ballast, rather than the bulbs, needs to be replaced. The bulb may not be getting enough power. Try resetting the fuse box by flipping the power switch off and on. If the bulb is still flickering, try replacing the bulb.
Summary: Change out cracked sockets. Inspect the ballast. Check the fuse box for flickering lights.

Problem: Article: Passover lasts for eight days. It begins at sundown in early spring, known as the month of Nissan in the Hebrew calendar. The start date of Passover will change every year based on when Nissan occurs in the Hebrew calendar. Consult a Hebrew calendar for the exact dates for Passover in your year.  If you are going to a Passover celebration hosted by someone who is Jewish, ask them for the exact dates for Passover. Passover is divided into two parts. The first two days and the last two days of Passover are considered holidays, where no work is done. This includes driving, writing, or using electrical devices (among certain other activities categorized as labor). However, you can cook and carry items outdoors when needed under most circumstances; feel free to check with a reputable rabbinic authority for elaboration. The middle four days during Passover are called Chol Hamoed (literally, "weekday of the holiday") and nearly all forms of work are permitted during these days. It can be an adjustment to not do work during the first two days and last two days of Passover. Do any work you need to get done before Passover begins or save it for the middle four days of Passover so you do not break with tradition. Any leavened products, known as chametz in Hebrew, should be removed before the beginning of Passover. This is to honor the unleavened bread that the Israelites ate when they left Egypt. It is part of the Passover tradition to avoid consuming or owning any food or drink that contains wheat products. Clean your home of any of these products to prepare for Passover.  This means any wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt products. You should also remove any bread, cake, cookies, cereal, pizza, pasta, and alcoholic beverages. This does not include products like baking powder or baking soda.  Chametz is considered the 'anthesis' (the flowering period of a plant) of matzah and a representation of egotism. Getting rid of chametz is a key part of celebrating Passover and embracing selflessness. Another key aspect of Passover is cleaning the home before Passover begins. Do a thorough cleaning of every nook and cranny of your home, from room to room. Dust, mop, sweep, and wipe each surface in your home. Often the weeks leading to Passover are spent cleaning the home to prepare. As throughout the year, during Passover, you cannot eat certain non-kosher meats such as pork, shellfish, lobster, shrimp, crab, rabbit, and any seafood without fins or scales, such as swordfish and sturgeon. You cannot eat any products made with these ingredients.  It is also tradition to not eat meat in combination with dairy during Passover as during the year as well, in accordance with regular Jewish dietary laws. So, do not have cheese, butter, or cream sauce on beef or chicken. Fish and eggs are allowed during Passover as long as they are served with dairy or with meat. When you shop for Passover foods, look for the labels saying: "Kosher for Passover," "May be used for Passover," and "Kosher for Passover and all year round."
Summary: Mark the date for Passover. Take time off from work. Get rid of all leavened products. Clean your home. Avoid forbidden foods for Passover.

Problem: Article: Paint rollers are soft and rounded so they don’t break apart the textures of the popcorn ceiling. Pick a thick-nap roller, ¾ inches (19 mm) thick or more. Also opt for an extension handle to make cleaning easier. The shape and softness of the roller will protect the popcorn texture from damage. Expose the roller to clean water. Try using a small flow from a faucet to splash or lightly coat the roller. You only need enough to make the roller feel damp. It should not drip at all. Water can easily damage this delicate ceiling, so be cautious or consider hiring a professional. Push the paint roller over the dirty spots. Move in a line, applying an even coat of water. You don’t need to push hard against the ceiling. Rinse the roller when it gets dirty so it doesn’t spread any dust or dirt. Remember to squeeze out the excess moisture before using the roller again. If your ceiling has deeper stains, you’ll need to repeat the process with a cleaning solution. In a bucket of water, add a small amount of vinegar, mild dish or laundry detergent, or bleach. If using bleach, mix 5 parts water with 1 part bleach. If using vinegar or detergent, use equal parts water and vinegar or detergent. Bleach with water works best for smoke, mildew, and water stains. Wait a few hours to see if the solution has had the desired effect on the ceiling. If stains are still visible, repeat the application. You may need to repeat this process a few times for tough stains.
Summary:
Get a paint roller. Dampen the roller. Roll over the surface. Add vinegar, detergent, or bleach. Let the solution sit on the popcorn ceiling and repeat if needed.
