Article: This box will hold the concrete in place until it is fully cured. It is important it is symmetrical and nailed together properly because your concrete pad will resemble this box.  Use 2x4s in order to obtain 4 inch thick concrete. Use 2x6s in order to obtain 6 inch thick concrete. To make a curved shape pad, you must use a more flexible kind of wood. This area must be relatively flat. The stakes will hold the box in place.  It is best to put a stake at each end of the board, then fill in the middle with stakes at roughly 4 feet apart. To make sure your board is strait, run a string from one end of the board to the other end. The box must be level, but if it is a large surface it is best to lower one side of the box slightly so rain will run off the edge once it is finished.  To make the surface of the concrete even with the ground, you must dig down 4 inches. To make the concrete pad above ground, just nail it into the stakes. Now since the forms are set, make sure all of the ground within the box is at least 4 inches deep, and compact it by using a compactor or stamper.  To check depth, run a string across from the top of each form and measure down making sure it is 4 inches. This is also referred to as "Grade". Now would also be the time to add steel mesh or re-steel, if you have it (for strengthening purposes). Call and ask for exposed aggregate concrete. They will inform you on what it is and different options they offer. As for amount, concrete is purchased by the yard. If you have trouble figuring out how much is needed, tell the concrete company your square footage and thickness.  One yard of concrete is the equivalent to 81 square feet per 4 inch thick concrete. The equivalent for 6 inch thick concrete is 54 square feet. To figure out the square footage of a rectangle or square the equation is length times width.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Build a wooden box. Place the box in the designated area. Hammer stakes in along the perimeter. Bring the box to the appropriate height and nail it to the stakes. Level and compact the surface within the box. Call and order concrete from your local concrete company.

Problem: Article: Cheddar cheese can be labeled mild, sharp, or extra sharp. The level of sharp indicates how long the cheese has been aged. The amount of aging increases as you go from mild to extra sharp. As the cheese ages, the texture of the cheese changes. Mild and sharp cheddar cheese have a smoother, creamier texture than extra sharp cheddar and will be easier to melt.  It will require more heat to melt extra sharp cheddar then to melt less-aged cheddar cheese. Mild and sharp cheddar cheese have a higher moisture content than extra sharp cheddar. You can shred cheese with a knife, box grater, or food processor. Using a box grater is the most common and easiest method. Grasp the cheese firmly in your hand and press the short end firmly against the blades of the box grater. Using localized pressure, move the block of cheese up and down along the grater.  It is best to shred the cheese while it is still cold. If you shred cheese when it is too warm, you will end up with mush. If you do not want to shred the cheese yourself, you can buy cheese that has already been shredded. However, the end result will be creamier and taste better if you shred it yourself.  If you’re having trouble shredding the cheddar, put it in the freezer for 10-30 minutes to harden it. Once grated, allow the shredded cheddar to remain out on the counter until it becomes room temperature. Doing this will lessen the length of time you’ll have to expose the cheddar to heat before it melts. Over exposure to heat will cause melted cheddar to become unpleasantly rubbery or greasy, so the less heat you have to use, the better. Pile the shredded cheddar into a bowl that can easily hold all of it, with room to spare. Do not place the cheese on a plate – when it begins to melt, it will run off the plate and you’ll have a melted mess to clean out of your microwave.
Summary: Start with mild or sharp cheddar. Shred the cheese. Bring the cheese to room temperature. Place the cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is usually the liner and it allows the dress to keep its shape on the form. If your dress is a heavyweight fabric to begin with, you can skip this step. Often designers will make a generic foundation piece in the measurements of the dress form and then adjust it to fit when it’s on the form. You can always cut more off, but you can’t add more on without changing your design. This is usually where you will start because it requires more tailoring.

SUMMARY: Start with a foundation piece if your dress is made out of lightweight fabric. Pin the foundation piece of pieces to your dress form. Ensure you have enough fabric to cover the sections of the dress between hems. Drape the fabric across the front bodice. Choose a place with the most folds and begin pinning the fabric to your dress form. Mark additional folds with chalk according to your illustration. Step back and compare the draped fabric to your dress illustration frequently.

Take a belt that fits well – either one that you already have or go to a clothing store and try on belts until you find one that fits the way you want it to. You want the belt to have several notches on each side of the notch you use. A belt that fits well won’t use the last notch or the first notch when it closes. Be sure to wear pants that fit you well so that you can get an accurate idea about what size belt you need if you’re trying on a variety of belts. Put the belt on a flat surface like a table or on the floor. Lay it down so that the belt is completely flat and doesn’t have any bumps sticking out. Make sure the belt is fully extended and doesn’t have any slack. If the belt doesn’t want to stay flat (because of overuse, for example), you can place a heavy object on both ends of the belt to keep it stationary. Grab a retractable measuring tape or a fabric measuring tape. Measure from the base of the buckle prong to the center hole. If you don’t use the center hole, measure from the base of the buckle prong to the hole you use the most. This number will probably range between 30 inches (76.2 cm) and 60 inches (152.4 cm), depending on your waist size. The number (in inches) that you found for the measurement of the belt will be the size you use for ordering your new belt. For example, if the measurement number is 34 inches (86.4 cm), order a size 34 belt.  If you are using the last hole on a belt, consider moving up a belt size (in this example, to a 36) so that there is room to adjust the belt in the future. A correctly fitted belt is usually sized to the center hole. If you are using the first hole on the belt, consider moving down a belt size to a 32. Alternatively, you can use a pair of jeans that fits you (one that is measured numerically by waist size in inches) and use that measurement to determine your belt size. Simply add two inches to the size of the pants and use that as your belt size. Remember that the pants must already be sized in inches, otherwise this method won’t be effective.
