Summarize the following:
Sit down and stretch your legs out ahead of you. Each shin guard has a round cup on top for your knee. The rest of the shin guard stretches out down to the tops of your skates, which you put on later. When you’re ready to secure the shin guards, bring the velcro bands back and connect them behind your legs. Goalies have special leg pads. If you’re a goalie, put on your shin guards and your hockey socks, then tie the pads to your legs. The pads have bands that tie around your legs and skates. Put your toes through the socks and pull the fabric up toward your knee. Focus on covering the bottom edges of the shin guards tightly before pulling the socks all the way up toward your jock shorts. If you’re wearing jock shorts with velcro tabs, hook the socks to the tabs to hold them in place over your legs.  If you’re wearing a garter belt, use the clips to hold the socks up. You have 2 clips for the front of your thighs and 2 for the back. Press the open ends of the clips to clamp them to the socks. If the socks feel loose while you’re wearing them, hold them in place with clear hockey tape. Wrap the tape around your leg right underneath your kneecaps. This will also pin down loose shin guards. You could wear regular socks underneath hockey socks to cover your feet. Use whatever socks you wore to the dressing room. Some players like doing this to keep their skates free of sweat, but others find it uncomfortable. You’re finally ready to add the final layer of padding to your lower body. Hockey pants have pads all over, so position them in the correct spots. When you’re ready to secure your pants, tie the strings on the built-in belt. Pull the belt so it is tight against your waist without making you uncomfortable.  In particular, pay attention to the tailbone pad on the back side of your pants. It needs to pad the area right over your butt. Tailbone injuries are more painful than you expect and you don’t have any other padding there. Like a lot of other equipment, hockey pants come in many different sizes. Getting the correct size is important for your safety. The pants need to fit well over your waist while being short enough to avoid covering your knees.

summary: Place your shin guards on top of your legs. Slide ice hockey socks over the shin guards. Pull a pair of hockey pants up to your waist.


Summarize the following:
Make sure the needle stays on the endpoint, and that you do not adjust the compass setting. The length of the arcs does not matter. Make sure you do not change the compass setting. Make sure the needle stays on the endpoint, and that you do not adjust the compass setting. The two sets of arcs you’ve drawn should intersect. To do this, place your straightedge on the point where the arcs above the line intersect, and align it with the point where the arcs below the line intersect. The line you draw between the two arc intersections bisects the line at a ninety degree angle. You have used the compass to outline two congruent circles centered over either endpoint. The intersecting arcs represent the endpoint of a radii from the center of either circle. The length of the radii will be the same, since the circles are the same size.

summary: Draw an arc above and below the line segment. Reposition the compass on the other endpoint. Draw another set of arcs, above and below the line segment. Connect the arc intersections. Draw your perpendicular bisector. Understand why this works.

For parties, whether themed or no theme, run of mill decorations like balloons, confetti, streamers, and banners are not uncommon.  Go to stores like Dollar Tree and find these common decorations at a low cost. Go to higher end stores, like Michael's, to find decorations that match with your theme. Make your decorations unique and inject a little personality by going the decor road less traveled or visiting a local thrift store for decor.  Use pink paper lanterns as a unique, luxe alternative to the average balloon, for example. Use mason jars as center pieces and thrift plates and table cloths to make for an elegant setup for your party and/or personalize them to match your party's overall theme. Party favors do not have to be complex in nature. They can be straightforward favors in their simplicity. They can also be sentimental and come with a lot of thought and effort. While you don't have to have party favors, they are a nice way to leave a lasting impression after a great night.  Fill up a small gift bag with different lollipops and candies. Use a small box to box an individual cupcake. Extra points if the cupcake is the same icing and flavor as the main birthday cake! Gift guests with a notebook and a pen that you can personalize by writing their names on the front of. Make friendship bracelets out of multicolored strings to give as party favors. Create a "mixtape" out of blank CDs and your favorite songs from the previous year. This will be a great reminder of you and a memento of what you guys were probably listening to when you were a year younger. Cater to the needs of any food allergies that might have been mentioned in your invite's RSVP. Kids aren't hard to please when it comes to food so try to keep it as simple as possible, bearing in mind that in terms of importance, food is the icing while the birthday party is the actual cake.  Order party food staples like pizza, potato chips or pretzels, and sodas. Make sure to order a cake, as well as ice cream options. Provide healthy alternatives like vegetable or hummus trays. Simple is good, but options are also good. Consider adding gluten-free foods to the menu as well. Keeping your guests entertained should be the host/hostess's main objective. While choosing to host a birthday party outside of your home may make that task a lot easier, hosting a birthday party from home will mean coming up with ideas of how to keep your guests from getting bored:  Consider group games everyone can play like  Heads Up,  Twister,  Would You Rather, karaoke, and board games . A great way to have fun and to provide keepsakes for guests is creating a makeshift photobooth using an empty wall as a backdrop. Incorporate handmade signs and silly props to personalize the photosets.
summary: Purchase decorations for the party that match your theme. Decide whether or not you want to give guests party favors for their attendance. Decide on a menu for guests. Think of entertainment.
