Problem: Article: Use a household small dustpan brush to do this. Dampen the bar of soap and rub it over the stain to cover. Leave the soap that has been rubbed on for half an hour.
Summary: Brush off the droppings to remove anything that will come off easily. Rub the stain using mild, plain household soap. Rinse off well with clean water. Repeat the rub and rinse process until the bird droppings are removed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hard boil the eggs, then allow them to cool to room temperature before removing the shells.  Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of cold water. Set the saucepan on your stove over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover it with its lid and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Submerge the eggs in ice water for 2 to 5 minutes. Once cool, peel off the shells. Use a sharp kitchen knife to dice the hard boiled eggs, crab meat, and onion.  Dice the egg white and yolks together. If using actual crab meat instead of imitation crab, flake the crab into small chunks. Note that the onion should be diced into very fine pieces. Place all four ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Gently toss them together with a fork until evenly mixed. Make sure that the corn is fully drained before adding it to the mixture. If any of the canned juice remains, it could make the resulting crab salad too runny. Add these two ingredients to the crab-vegetable mixture, then stir until evenly coated. Consider mixing the mayonnaise and horseradish sauce in a separate bowl before adding it to the crab mixture. Doing so is not strictly necessary, but it may make it easier for you to distribute both ingredients evenly throughout the crab salad. Sprinkle the crab salad with salt and pepper, then adjust these seasonings to taste. The 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.6 ml) black pepper listed in the recipe are estimates. You can add more or less as desired, or even omit the salt and pepper completely. Add the peas to the rest of the ingredients and gently fold them into the salad.  Adding the peas last can help prevent them from breaking apart as you mix the ingredients. As with the canned corn, make sure that you completely drain the can of peas before adding them to the crab salad. Place the crab salad in your refrigerator for at least 60 minutes. Serve cold. Store extra crab salad in a sealed glass or plastic container. Refrigerate it for up to three or four days.

SUMMARY: Boil and peel the eggs. Dice the eggs, crab, and onion. Combine the crab, eggs, onion, and corn. Add the mayonnaise and horseradish sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the peas. Chill before serving. Finished.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This can be a little confusing, as "dry" cleaning solvent is generally sold in liquid state. The reason these solutions are so called is because these solvents are made without water. You can find these products in the home supply or cleaning section of most stores. If you cannot find something suitable in your area, an online retailer might be the way to go. Dry cleaning solutions can have a very strong odor and can be harmful to your health if breathed in for extended periods. A ceiling or box fan blowing fumes out an open window can help dissipate this smell. Putting your cleaner directly onto your cushion cover can do damage to the fabric, as these solutions are typically highly concentrated. To prevent this from happening, apply a small amount of cleaner to a clean rag, and follow any other instructions as directed. With your cleaner already applied to your rag, rub the rag on a part of the couch that is out of sight. Allow the spot to dry for about 10 minutes. After that, take a clean piece of paper towel and press it into the fabric where you applied the cleaning solution. If the paper towel picks up dye or the fabric becomes discolored, the solution you bought may be too strong. Rubbing your rag with the solution on it against the fabric of your cushion can be too abrasive in combination with a harsh cleaning agent. Although this may take a considerable amount of time, you should press the rag and solution into the dirty/stained portions of your cushion to clean it.  Do not apply too much solution to your fabric or you may cause discoloration or harm. Taking frequent breaks and allowing the cushion time to dry between applications can help prevent over-saturation. Even trace amounts of dry cleaner solutions can have a negative effect if allowed to remain in the fabric of your cushions. After you have finished applying the solvent and allowed the cleaner to set for the amount of time indicated in the instructions, moisten a clean cloth and blot the areas you have cleaned. Be sure the cloth you use for blotting is only lightly damp, and rinse and wring it out regularly.
Summary: Purchase your dry cleaning solvent. Open windows and doors. Prepare your cleaning rag. Spot-test to prevent unsightly damage. Press clean your cushion. Remove the residual dry cleaner solution.

You can find tube testers by searching for them online. Check online tube stores and auction sites to find a variety of testers. Select 1 that fits your budget. Used ones start at about $35 USD. Because the technology is rarely used these days, expect quality store-bought testers to cost a couple hundred of dollars. Emission testers only show whether or not a tube is working. Mutual conductance testers show how well a tube is working. A series of numbers and letters is printed on the side of every tube. This code is what you use to figure out where to place the tube in the tester. For example, the lettering on the tube reads something like “12AX7.” To find out which socket the tube goes in, use the chart that came with the tester. Look up the number and letter code in the chart to select the correct socket. If you don’t have a chart, try searching for the tester brand online to find a manual. Before turning on the electricity, give the vacuum tube a quick inspection. Notice any evidence of broken glass or bent pins inside the tube. Loose parts or discolorations are signs that the tube needs to be replaced. If you see that the tube is broken, don’t test it. It could damage the tester. Using the code on the vacuum tube, look at the testing chart again. Set the tester’s switches according to the chart’s instructions. This turns on the electrical connection, causing the tube to function. The testing results depend on what kind of tester you have. First, look for a red and green gauge with a needle. If the needle moves into the green zone, the tube still works. If the tester doesn’t have this gauge, it will give you a number  look up in the chart. Look up a vacuum tube reading table for more information on how to read the Gm number and what it means.

One-sentence summary -- Purchase a tube tester. Look at the print on the vacuum tube to identify it. Insert the tube into the tester’s socket. Look for visible signs of damage on the tube. Turn the tester on according to the chart. Check the test results to see if the tube works.
