Article: Ride-sharing can be made safer by doing just that: sharing your ride. UberPOOL is a service that seeks to find riders traveling in the same direction who are willing to share their journey with other riders. To take an UberPOOL:  Open the Uber app. Drag the sliding button at the bottom of your screen to the word POOL. Proceed to request an Uber as you normally would. Some Uber riders are familiar with the experience of ordering an Uber and having their phone die before the car arrives, thus canceling the Uber request and leaving the rider unable to order another. To reduce your risk of draining your phone battery before your Uber arrives:  Close the app as you are waiting for your car. You will receive an automatic notification when your driver is arriving. Turn down the brightness on your phone's screen. Turn off Bluetooth. Close any apps you are not using. As Uber can take up to 20 minutes to arrive at your pickup location, it's worth trying to try to find somewhere to hang out while you wait for your car. The Uber will proceed to the location you originally set when booking the trip, so you don't need to worry about the car not being able to find you. After your Uber request is accepted, you will see a circle just below your app's map that cycles between an image of your driver and their car. Tap on this icon to see both displayed at once. Take note of the driver's face, the model of their car and the car's license plate. This will help ensure that the car you get into is the one that you ordered. On the screen that displays your driver's name and their car, you will also see a star rating underneath their face. This is the rating given to them by other riders, and can be used to gauge the experience that other riders have had with this driver. Although Uber's standards for driver quality are much higher than the bar that most of us would set as "safe", it is worth noting that drivers whose average rating drops below 4.6 stars are at risk of being suspended until they complete a re-training program.

Consider taking an UberPOOL. Conserve your battery. Wait inside for your Uber. Identify your driver and their car. Check your driver's rating.

The easiest way to keep your cinches, straps and stirrups out of the way is to cross them over the top of the saddle and put them around the horn. Keep them around the horn until you're ready to secure them. If you have a hard time lifting the saddle, you may need to request assistance during this step.  Stand next to your horse's left shoulder. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, with your left foot near the horse's left hoof and your right foot slightly behind your left. Swing your torso and hoist the saddle up, so that your right arm ends up draped across the horse's back. This should land the saddle right on the saddle pad, on your horse's back. Allow them to hang down across your horse, but make sure they're in the correct location for your ride. Adjust the cinches and stirrups so they're in the right place, if necessary. Always Tighten the Cinch Before doing anything else on the saddle.  Check that the cinch is flat against the horse's belly with no twists. Put your buckle in the correct holes and slide the buckle tongue through the cover. If you're using a knot, pull the latigo through the cinch ring until it is snug across the horse's belly. Then, put the latigo through the saddle D ring, moving from the outside in. Continue to wrap the latigo until it's tight on the horse. It's important to keep the back cinch tight, as this will keep the saddle from lifting up during riding. (Some saddles do not have a back cinch. Despite what the picture depicts, please assure that the girth is hooked on before you start with the other cinches) There are a number of different types of breast plate, and each one will require different assembly instructions.  Ensure that the breast collar's center cinch strip is aligned with the center of your horse's pectorals. Thread the latigo from the left side through the ring on the end of the cinch and D ring twice. Pull tightly, then thread the latigo around the back of the D ring to the left, around front then back through. The end should then come through the middle of the D ring, and thread down behind the loop made (like tying a tie), pulling tightly again.

Grab the cinches, straps and stirrups. Lift the saddle onto your horse. Lower the cinches and stirrups. Secure the front cinch using a buckle or knot. Tighten the back cinch if your saddle has one. Attach the breast collar (if you use one).
Article: Your teen can express her own unique creativity by decorating boxes or making pictures for the wall. Painting one wall or part of a wall with chalkboard paint gives your teen a place to express herself with quotes, song lyrics, drawings, etc. A corkboard for pinning photos and inspiration can be dressed up with a frame painted in metallic or your daughter’s favorite color. The options for hanging décor are endless. You can hang photos, beads, unneeded CDs, plaques, paintings, and more. Use your imagination and consider your daughter’s personality and likes when selecting decoration. If you hang gauzy fabric from the ceiling around the bed, you can create the illusion of a bed canopy. You can even add strings of lights behind the draped fabric for a beautiful effect - just follow the safety instructions for the lights. A bulletin board is a great place for her to hang invitations, appointment reminders, and pictures. If you buy a board that comes with a chalkboard or dry erase board, you can leave each other messages and hang it on her door. Paint takes less preparation than wallpaper and tends to be less expensive; wall paper is considerably more difficult to remove. However, wallpaper can be purchased in washable styles and may be more durable. You can also opt to use paint on certain walls and wall coverings on others. If you are painting over a dark color, apply primer first. If the wall is damaged, fix imperfections with spackle and let it dry for 24 hours before painting. This could range from quotes to other decals. You can shop a wide variety of inspirational quotes in wall decal form online, or head to your local home improvement store and look for decal designs. These can be cheaper and less permanent than paint or wall coverings. Check the label or the manufacturer’s website for information on maintenance and longevity of the wall decals. Most people have no wall damage or problems with removing interior wall decals. Area rugs are more practical than installing new flooring. Work with your floor plan and choose an area rug that is a minimum of 6” and no more than 2’ away from the wall. Bold patterns can make a small room look larger, and can even make the area rug the focal point of the room. From light switch covers to larger scale details, adding aesthetic details to the décor can make a huge difference. Blank walls can be pretty and useful if you interlock ribbons and attach them to the walls: it creates a pattern where your daughter can also put up pictures and postcards. The items she hangs there can even be changed out easily according to her changing tastes. Some inexpensive but noticeable details: large letters of initials from a craft store; decorative mirrors from a dollar store; hanging a row of slim door mirrors on a wall; mason jars mounted on the wall for storing beauty items; and old drawers repurposed as floating shelves to hang jewelry. The only limit to DIY décor is your imagination! Laundry line can hold clothespins with clipped photos. If you find a good deal on plain pillows, why not stamp custom designs on them? You can also make custom patterns on lamp shades with a paper design from your own printer and hole puncher. Bulk fabric can make eye-catching wall art, drawer fronts, or cover a headboard. Pinterest and online interior design blogs have a wealth of DIY décor ideas to get your brainstorming started.
