Q: Fantasy sports is traditionally not seen as gambling, and therefore hasn't been regulated as such.  However, you are giving an initial stake, and using your skills to win a return on your investment.  To recruit members, first ask your family if they wish to join.  Post sheets on bulletin boards at your job, with black spaces left for names and phone numbers.  These sheets should identify who is running the league (your name), where the league will be located, and how much money you need for an initial stake. You can also post online at your social sites like Facebook and Twitter, asking for members to join your league. If you would rather join a league, there are plenty of reputable sites online such as ESPN, and other official sports sites which offer fantasy leagues.  You might also look for friends or family who have started their own. You will first need to decide what the official entry fee will be.  The fees will go into one pot and will be given to the winner at the end of the football year.  Some teams cough up 100 dollars a piece, while others find it fun to have a free league (bragging rights).  After you agree to the fee, each player has to come up with an official team name.  Be creative with the team names.  As long as the other members approve it is fine.  If you are playing with random players, you might want a more politically correct name which won't offend. The commissioner of the league (you) will approve the names.  Then, as a group, come up with a league name if you wish. The first thing you need to decide as a group is how many fantasy points a player gets for each action they take.  This includes touchdowns, yardage, incompletions, dropped catches, made field goals, etc. (if you are doing a football fantasy league)  You will need to set up a playoff system.  Determine how many teams can make the playoffs and which NFL weeks the playoff games will be played.  Another important rule is setting up a waiver wire.  The waiver wire is basically how many free agents a team can add, the selection order, etc. Create a system where you can trade players.  If the trade is clearly one-sided, you should have a process of vetoing the trade deal as well. You can do this one of two ways.  First, you can calculate statistics the old fashioned way, using a pencil, paper, and a calculator.  Look at the local sports page, use your fantasy point charts you created earlier, and add your points up.  This takes very long however to do by hand, so it is recommended that you use a hosting site.  Hosting sites basically calculate the fantasy score of each player every week.  Instead of having to add the points yourself, they already have the job done for you.  This way you can focus on the fun of fantasy sports, and not the downsides. ESPN, NBA, MLB, NFL, Yahoo!, etc. all have fantasy scores written on their websites. The weekend before your sport begins is usually the best time to host a player draft.  This is where you will all get together, write down all the players in your sport on one big board, and slowly draft them over the course of a few hours.  You will want to bring a computer or smartphone with you, as you will need to use a hosting site to choose the best available players.  As a host of draft night, make your friends feel at home.  Typically the living room is used as the best place to draft players. This is a great time to make a feast.  Cook hotdogs, hamburgers, chili; have potato chips and pretzels; have three or four types of soda ready.  The atmosphere should feel like you are at a tailgate party. Once your players are drafted, you are ready to begin fantasy sports.  Wait each week to see how your team does.  Start and sit players based on their performances.  Trade players for that final playoff push.
A: Recruit friends and family members. Agree on some terms. Set up some official rules. Track and score your statistics. Select a date for your annual player draft.

Q: Put on latex gloves and use a sharp knife to cut off the stems from four habanero peppers. Remove the seeds and discard them. Set the habaneros aside while you prepare the peaches.  Wash down the cutting board and knife so you don't transfer the irritating oils from the habaneros. Remove the latex gloves and discard them after you've prepped the peppers. Wash six or seven fresh peaches and use a paring knife or vegetable peeler to remove the skins. Slice each peach in half and remove the pits. Roughly chop the peaches. If you can't find fresh peaches, consider using frozen and thawed or canned, drained peaches. Transfer the chopped peaches and habaneros into a large skillet. Stir in 1 cup (200 g) of light brown sugar and 1 cup (240 ml) of the white vinegar. Turn the heat on to medium and stir it occasionally until it starts to simmer. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer it to a blender or food processor and put the lid on it. Pulse the mixture until it's completely smooth. Pour the sauce back into the skillet. Stir in 2 teaspoons (10 g) of sea salt and one pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Turn the heat to medium and stir in the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) of vinegar. Cook and stir the sauce until it comes to a boil. You can use a shallow spoon to scoop away any foam that rises to the top of the sauce. Transfer the sauce to airtight containers or clean bottles. Refrigerate the sauce for up to six months.
A: Cut and remove the seeds from four habaneros. Peel, pit, and chop the peaches. Simmer the peaches, habaneros, and seasonings. Cool and blend the habanero peach mixture. Season the sauce and stir in the rest of the vinegar. Bring the sauce to a boil and store it.

Q: This will make it easier to whisper in her ear, which would be awkward directly from the front—it could appear as if you're going in for a kiss. If you'd still like to add some element of surprise, wait until she turns her head away from you before approaching her ear.  If you already know her fairly well, you could try to surprise her by whispering from behind her. But do this only if you know she's not easily frightened, since it could produce a big scare. If you especially want to avoid startling her, you can try placing one hand gently on her shoulder before approaching her ear. If you're on her right side, use your right hand to cup your mouth. If you're on her left side, use your left hand to cup your mouth. This way your whispering will be shielded from the hearing of any others who might be in front of her or to her side. If her hair is covering her ear, avoid brushing it away if you've just met her that day. If you've been on at least a couple of dates, brushing her hair aside should be acceptable. If you've only just met the person, avoid making direct contact between your cupped hand and her ear. If she's your girlfriend or if you've been dating for some time, it should be okay to press your hand lightly against her ear while whispering. If you're in a noisy area such as a busy bar or at a party, you may have to speak above a whispering tone in order for her to hear you. Be careful not to yell, though. A tone slightly above a whisper should be audible, since your mouth will be close to her ear. But if there is little or no background noise in your area, speak slowly in a whisper. If she immediately moves away from you even before you get a chance to whisper, or after, you'll know to avoid trying to make physical contact with her for the moment. But if she responds with a smile, giggle, and sustained eye contact, you've done well. Yet be careful not to take a positive reaction as an invitation to move a step beyond by hugging her or holding her hand right away. Be content with having made her laugh and smile, and wait for a response from her, such as touching your hand or moving closer to you, that shows she's probably comfortable with more involved flirting.
A:
Stand or sit to the side of her. Cup your hand around your mouth. Approach her ear. Ensure that she can hear you. Follow up according to her reaction.
