Article: Use a staple puller or flathead screwdriver to remove the staples from the ends of the rails. Cut the old felt along the top of the rail if it does not come off immediately. Each rail has a thin wooden "featherstrip" running alongside it, which is typically not attached by any adhesive or nails. If it won't come up easily, Use a thin flathead screwdriver to pry it up without breaking it. Unlike the table top, this felt should be "face side" down. Keep an overhang of at least 4 inches (10 cm) on each end, and 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) over the feather strip  groove. Lay the featherstrip back in position, but do not press it down. Have an assistant stretch the felt tightly between the center and one end of the railing. Place a tapping block over the featherstrip, then use a hammer to gently tap the block, pushing the featherstrip down into the stretched portion of the felt, but stop about 2 inches (5 cm) from the end, where the corner pocket will be located. Stretch the other half of the felt, and repeat this process for the remaining length of the featherstrip, again stopping 2 inches (5 cm) away from the other end. Do not strike the featherstrip directly, or you may dent the table. Pull the felt at the ends of the table toward the rubber cushion, then tap in the remaining portion of the featherstrip until it is firmly in place. Trim and fold the felt as necessary to remove excess material and cover the ends of the cushion. Once all your rails are complete, bolt them to the table again. If you're having a hard time finding where the bolts should go, you can push a screwdriver through the bolt holes as guidance. Never try to cut holes in the playing surface from the top of the table, as you may cut in the wrong place.

Article: First you should try to ascertain whether your injury is actually mallet finger. If you do have mallet finger, the last joint in your finger (the one closest to the nail) will be in pain. The joint will be bent downward and will be immobile, making it impossible to fully straighten. Ice will help reduce swelling and tenderness in the joint.  However, you should not rub ice directly against the skin. Wrap ice in a towel or take a bag of frozen vegetables and place it on the joint. If you find that you are in severe pain, some readily available medications can help ease your discomfort. These include: Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Naprosyn, and Tylenol. Take these throughout the healing process if pain persists.These medications (except Tylenol) are also anti-inflammatories, which can reduce swelling in addition to pain. You should visit a doctor to purchase a professionally constructed splint, but until you can do so, you can try to create a splint that will straighten your finger. Take a popsicle stick and place it along the underside of your finger. Wrap adhesive tape around your finger and the object so that the tape holds your finger tightly against the stick and provides padding for your finger. The goal is to keep the fingertip straight. If your finger bends at all, it can set back the healing process. Any straight, solid item will work as a splint so long as it is strong enough to hold the finger in place. It is also imperative that the tape is wrapped around tightly so that you do not have enough mobility to bend your finger, but not so tight that you cut off circulation or cause the finger to become numb or discolored.

Diagnose the injury. Apply ice indirectly. Take medication to regulate pain. Make a temporary splint.
Article: While carrying a dog on a stretcher or driving them, wedge anything you have that's soft around the dog's body to keep their body from moving around unnecessarily.  Pillows or rolled up towels and blankets are ideal. Unless it is quite warm, use a blanket, towel, or piece of clothing to wrap the dog during transportation.  Not only will this calm the dog down, if will prevent heat loss that may occur due to shock or injury. If anyone else is around, have someone else drive to the vet. This will allow you to help keep the dog from moving around. Further, this will keep you from driving distractedly. Call the veterinary hospital to let them know you're on your way. Describe the dog's injuries to help the vet prepare for your arrival and start helping the dog as efficiently as possible. If no one else is around to drive, complete the call before getting on the road. Another benefit of calling ahead is ensuring that the vet you're heading for is capable of treating your dog. If they are not, you may be able to have a vet meet you there for emergency service, or they can tell you where to go instead.
