If you want your stone to really shine, use beeswax and a rag to buff and polish it. This will help your design stand out and give the rock an extra gleam. If you want to give your design some color, use latex paint to fill in the grooves. Black paint on a light-colored stone or white paint on a darker stone can really make your design pop. Place it inside your home, on your porch, in your garden, or give it away as a unique gift.  Larger stones can be used to make unique stepping-stones for a garden.

Pour your batter into a greased cavity bar pan, and let your brownies cool after they bake. Then, gently lift the brownies out of the pan with clean hands. To help you remove the brownies, you can insert a plastic knife on 1 side to pry the brownie from the bottom of the pan. Cavity brownie pans come in either metal or silicone materials. Both work well to cook brownies without cutting, though it can be easier to remove brownies from silicone pans since the material is flexible. Either grease the pan or line your pan with cupcake liners. Then, pour the batter directly into each depression of the muffin pan, filling each section about half full with batter. After your brownies cool, take a plastic knife and cut around the edges of each brownie. Then, gently lift up the brownies with your hands to remove them from the pan. Your brownies may be on the larger size, but muffin pans make great substitutions for brownie bar pans. Pour your batter into the molds, bake your brownies, and let them cool. Then, place your finger underneath the mold, and lift up so the brownie pops out of the mold. Your brownies will easily slide out of the silicone mold.  Miniature brownie molds produce 24 tiny brownies. If you are having trouble removing the brownies from the mold, try holding the silicone at an angle as you push them from underneath. Place the brownie divider into the pan after you pour in your batter. Let your brownies cool with the divider still inserted, and remove the divider once the brownies cool down. Then, prop your brownie pan on a small object, like a cup or can. Press down on the pan to separate the brownies from the pan.  2-piece brownie sets include a collapsing baking pan and a brownie divider. The divider will separate the brownies into 18 even sections. It is helpful to apply cooking spray to the pan and the divider before you bake.

This medicine works by blocking specific body chemicals that cause inflammation.  This helps to reduce pain in the joints by inhibiting the production of COX in the brain. In turn, this reduces the intensity of your pain. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol), at a dosage of two tablets three times daily. The maximum dose of Tylenol is 4000mg daily and this should not be exceeded because it can damage your liver. You can also try naproxen sodium and ibuprofen. NSAIDs are usually prescribed for about 7 to 10 days, or until inflammation has been relieved. If you have increased acidity in your body, you should avoid taking NSAIDs. Uricosuric drugs block the reabsorption of urate, thus preventing formation of uric acid crystals in the tissues and increasing the excretion of uric acid from the body.  This drug type includes Probenecid and Sulfinpyrazone. The starting dose for Probenecid is 250 mg two times a day, and can be increased to a maximum dosage of 3 grams daily. In severe cases, you can receive intravenous fluid that contains saline to help decrease uric acid in your body. This can be given as a continuous infusion of 2L per 24 hours. You can take furosemide (lasix) to dilute your urine.  This drug acts by increasing the elimination of uric acid through your urine. The usual dose is 20 mg once a day but this may be adjusted depending on your condition. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors decrease your uric acid production by inhibiting the production of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for the production of purine.  This class of drugs includes Allopurinol. A maintenance dose for adults is 200 to 300 mg per day. The use of Allopurinol can result in fatal hypersensitivity, so take it only under the direct supervision of a medical professional. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors decrease the solubility of uric acid, which allows the body to eliminate uric acid more efficiently.  While taking this type of drug, you must maintain adequate hydration in order to sustain high urine output. The dosage of this medication varies, and it is best to consult with your physician for an appropriate prescription.
