Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Record your results. Update and change your board. Use the inspiration board regularly.

Answer: On your inspiration board add a table or chart to record your progress to encourage you to keep going.  Another idea is to add a barometer that goes up as your weight comes down. Use any idea that is easy to add and update. Track progress of your weight, improved eating habits or improved fitness levels. You can also use a cut out of yourself moving along a timeline towards your goal. Over time you may want to make some changes to your inspiration board.  This will be especially true if you've met your goals, made progress or have changed your goals. Change out pictures or motivational sayings as you've progressed closer toward your goal or have met your goal.  You might want to change this to reflect maintenance if you need to. If you've made a fairly interactive inspiration board, be sure to follow up with the tasks you've set, or make use of its information to keep you going.  Add and remove things from the board as needed; you can paste new things over the top of old if needed. Be flexible, as your weight loss is a journey of a changing you. Place the inspiration board somewhere prominent. Choose a spot where you will see the board daily and be inspired by its content.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add volume to your roots. Choose your texture. Part your hair to one side.

Answer: Blow dry your hair with a diffuser to pump up the volume, paying extra attention to your roots. In addition to or instead of blow drying, you can tease your roots. Back-comb dry hair in one- to two-inch sections with a fine-toothed comb. Try using volumizer spray on damp hair before blowdrying. Use hairspray with hold on each sectioned of teased hair as you go. Use a heat protectant spray first to protect your locks. Straighten your hair with a flattening iron, or crimp it with a crimping iron. Alternately, add large curls to the ends only. Use the end of a tail comb to create a part, and flip your hair over to one side. Wet a brush or comb with water or styling product. Place the brush at the top middle of your forehead near your hairline. Swoop the brush upwards and towards the side opposite the part. Seal the look with hairspray.  Repeat the brush or comb swoop multiple times, if needed, to achieve the look you want before applying hairspray. If desired, repeat the swoop on the hair below the part to the side of your face. Move the brush horizontally to put a bit of wave there. Use your fingers to comb through your locks and flip them to the side throughout the day like Cher from the movie Clueless. If you don’t use a firm hold hairspray, you can even tousle the flip from one side to another!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Detach the supply hose from the water supply. Detach the hose from the faucet. Purchase a new hose with the same measurements. Dry and tape the threads. Attach the hose to the faucet. Attach the hose to the water supply. Turn on the water and test the hose.

Answer: The supply line hose is the hose that connects the faucet to the main water supply. This could be a plastic hose, a coiled metal hose, or it could even be a solid metal tube. There will be separate hoses for the hot and cold, so make sure you disconnect the one that you need to replace.  It’s common for some water to drip when the hoses are disconnected. Place a pan under the sink to catch drips. To disconnect the hose, start by loosening the lock nut attaching the hose to the water supply. You'll probably need to loosen it with the adjustable wrench first.  To loosen the nut, turn it to the left (counterclockwise). Once you’ve loosened the nut with the wrench, you can twist it off the rest of the way by hand. If you're not sure which hose is for which supply, the hot water is typically on the left, and cold on the right. Follow the supply hose from the water supply up to where it’s attached to the faucet. When you find the lock nut, use the basin wrench to access the nut and loosen it off. If the supply line connects to copper tubing, hold the tubing in 1 hand while loosening the nut with the other to prevent the copper from twisting or breaking. Loosen the nut by turning it to the left (counterclockwise).  When you’ve loosened the nut, you can twist it off the rest of the way by hand. Once the second nut is disconnected, you'll be able to remove the old hose. The basin wrench is necessary here because it allows you to access the hard-to-reach nut under the sink. Because the handle of the wrench can pivot, it lets you turn the wrench and loosen the nut from a more comfortable position. It’s actually best to purchase a replacement hose after you’ve removed the original one. Take the original hose to the hardware store and buy a replacement that will be a perfect match.  If you’re replacing more than 1 line, be sure to mark which one goes where on the valve and faucet connector. You don’t have to buy the same style of hose, but it does have to be the same length as the original, and the diameter of the hose and fittings must also be the same. Use the rag to dry off the threaded pipe ends where the supply line hose attaches to the water supply and faucet. When the threads are clean and dry, wrap them with thread sealing tape. Make sure the tape doesn’t extend beyond the end of the pipe. Thread sealing tape lubricates threads and helps to form a stronger seal between joints. This will make your new hose easier to attach, and help prevent leaks. Reach up with the hose and attach the faucet end of the hose to the same connection you removed the original from. With your hand, tighten the nut by turning it to the right (clockwise) just until it’s snug. Be careful not to kink the hose!  When you’ve tightened it by hand as much as you can, finish screwing on the nut with the basin wrench by turning it a quarter turn. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads. Make sure you attach the right end, because the diameter of the hose is probably different where it connects to the faucet versus the water supply. Once the faucet end has been connected, you can attach the new hose to the water supply. Tighten the nut by hand (turn it to the right), and then finish tightening it with the adjustable wrench. Do not turn the nut more than a quarter turn with the wrench, as too much tightening can cause damage. Turn the water back on by turning the shutoff valves to the left (counterclockwise). When the water is back on, turn on the faucets to run the water. As the water runs, check for leaks or other problems. After turning on the water, it may take a moment for the water to come out the taps, and it may sputter for a minute.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure the engine isn't hot.  Open the hood Pull out the dipstick and wipe it off with a clean rag. Reinsert the dipstick. Remove the dipstick a second time to gauge the oil level. Determine whether the oil needs to be changed.

Answer:
You can burn yourself if you handle engine parts right after you turn off your car. Wait at least 10 minutes or plan to check your oil while the engine is cold. A cool engine ensures that the oil enough time to settle at the bottom of the oil pan and will give you a more accurate reading of how much oil is in the car. . Most cars have an interior hood-popping lever located under the steering column. Pull the lever, then walk to the front of your car and unlatch the hood. Raise the hood so that it is completely open, and prop it up with a metal prop if your car has one.  In a small number of cars (such as the Mini Cooper) the hood release on the passenger side. Make sure the vehicle is on a flat and level surface or the dipstick will provide an inaccurate reading. This is done best at a gas station where the surface is flat and even. The dipstick is connected to the oil tank in your engine, and is used to determine how much oil is still in the oil tank. When the car is in motion the oil splashes around and covers the entire stick. To check your oil level you need to start with a clean stick.  The dipstick is often located near the front of the engine. When you locate it, give it a tug; it should pull out smoothly. Take care not to pull out the transmission fluid dipstick. If you're not sure which dipstick is connected to the oil tank, check the user manual that came with your car, or ask a gas station attendant for help. Carefully place the dipstick back into the pipe connected to the oil tank. Push it all the way down until it is completely reinserted. If it gets rattled or caught along the way, pull it back out, wipe it off, and try again. Look at the end of the dipstick to see where the oil's film ends. The end of the stick will have the word "ADD" toward the end, and "FULL" toward the middle.  If the oil film reaches up to or below the ADD line, it's time to add more oil. If the oil film is close to the FULL line, you don't have to add more oil quite yet. In addition to checking the quantity of the oil, you should also check the quality. The oil should look clean and smooth. If the oil looks like it contains debris or looks cloudy, it needs to be changed.
