Pour homemade lip balm into your new container while it is still warm. Or take a portion of whatever item you want to store in a smaller size and fill the container up to the lip.  Allow homemade lip balm to set after you pour it in warm by placing it in the fridge undisturbed so it creates a smooth, even surface. Don’t use the balm or screw on the cap of your container until the balm is solidified. If you are using another premade product rather than homemade, soft material that you can scoop, like petroleum jelly or lip gloss, works best for transferring to a new container. While you can attempt to melt down existing lip balm for pouring, the process will likely be messy and difficult. Make sure you fill your new container just up to the lip of the plastic, where you would usually drink from if the bottle was intact. Overfilling it will not allow the cap to screw on smoothly.

To give blood, you must be at least 17 years of age and a healthy weight, usually 110 pounds or heavier. In some places, you can donate blood as young as 16, provided you can show proof of parental consent. Call your local blood center ask about what they look for in a donor.  A few factors that may disqualify you from donating blood include having a cold or the flu, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and organ transplants.  Certain medications, like antidepressants, hormonal birth control, and pain relievers like aspirin can also affect the properties of blood, which may make you ineligible to donate if you’ve taken them recently. Your best bet is to visit a regional chapter of the American Red Cross, an organization which collects almost half of all blood donations in the US. Some other reputable organizations seeking donations include America's Blood Centers, a network of community-based, independent blood programs across North America, United Blood Services, a non-profit center that serves 18 states, and The Armed Service Blood Program, a military-sponsored program with 20 locations around the world.  Log onto the website of the American Red Cross and use their Blood Drive Locator to find out where you can go to give blood in your area.  If there’s not a chapter of the Red Cross or a similar organization nearby, look into mobile donation centers. These are basically traveling blood drives that move from place to make giving blood more convenient for people in out-of-the-way places. It’s important that you be nice and hydrated when giving blood, as water is essential for healthy blood chemistry and circulation. Try to drink at least 16 oz. of fluids prior to donating. Water, juice, or decaffeinated tea is best.  Loading up on fluids will also prevent you from feeling lightheaded while your blood is being drawn. Avoid caffeinated beverages like coffee or soft drinks—these can actually dehydrate you if you consume too many of them. Make sure you put something nutritious on your stomach prior to heading to the clinic. All the major food groups should be represented, including fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, or potatoes), fiber, and lean protein.  Add a little extra iron to your diet in the weeks prior to your donation by increasing your intake of red meat, spinach, beans, fish, and poultry. Your body needs iron to produce red blood cells.  Since fats can accumulate in your bloodstream and impact the purity of your blood, it’s best to limit them to small quantities. Most clinics require donors to have 2 valid forms of photo identification when checking in. This could be a driver’s license, passport, or military ID, but some clinics may also accept student ID cards or similar forms of identification. You’ll present your ID to the person at the desk when you arrive. Don’t forget to bring your official Blood Donor card if you’ve donated in the past. Showing it will allow you to skip a lot of unnecessary paperwork. Certain types of clothing can help speed up the donation process. Short sleeves or long sleeves that can be rolled up quickly will make it much easier for the technicians to find a suitable spot on your arm. Loose-fitting items are a plus, since they don’t restrict blood flow.  If you’re bundled up for cold weather, make sure your outer layer is something you can remove quickly. Even if it’s not chilly outside, it’s a good idea to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket. Your body temperature drops slightly when you give blood, which may cause you to feel a little chilly. However, if your arm begins to feel noticeably colder than the arm not giving blood, tell the technician there, as that could be dangerous for you.

A TV tuner allows you to connect your antenna or cable box to your computer, and then use your computer to watch and change channels using onscreen controls.   TV tuners for computers are available from most major electronics retailers or through online outlets such as Amazon and Newegg. Many TV tuners allow you to also record footage and save it to watch later, much like a DVR. Slide the tuner directly into a USB port on your computer, or a USB extension cable if the ports are too close together to accommodate the tuner. Avoid using a USB hub, as they usually don't draw enough power.  You can also install a TV tuner card into a spare PCI slot on your computer, though this is fairly difficult compared to plugging in a USB tuner. See this guide for details on installing PCI cards. An external USB TV tuner is much simpler to install than a TV tuner card, and is just as powerful. Some tuners come with a built-in antenna. Otherwise, use the coaxial connector to attach a cable from your antenna or cable box to your TV. If you wish to keep your cable box connected to your TV, but also want to connect it to your computer, you will need a coaxial cable splitter You may need to install software that came packaged with the tuner. Follow the instructions that came with the tuner to do so. Windows Media Center supports TV tuners. Start the TV tuner software and follow the instructions to scan for available channels. If you are using an antenna, the channels you receive will depend on signal strength and the power of your antenna.
