Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pay attention to questions. Listen to his tone. Notice the mumbles. Listen for the mundane. Talk on the phone.

Answer: If a guy likes you and you’re in conversation, he might ask you a bunch of questions.  If he’s smooth, then you may not even notice it. He’s fishing for a similar interest that you two can share. Embrace a common interest if he becomes excited. Ask him questions in return to see if he is a phony or not. Sometimes men will change their tone of voice depending on who they talk to. Listen to him in a group with his guy friends. Then see if he talks the same way to you when you’re alone. If he does talk the same, it doesn’t necessarily mean he isn’t into you. His voice should soften ever so slightly. Some people naturally mumble. When guys like someone and they’re prone to mumble, you might hear it. This is more characteristic of a shy guy. If you’re in this scenario and want him to relax, rest your hand on his shoulder or his upper forearm. A lot of times if you both like each other, it doesn’t matter what you talk about. Two people who like each other can go on and on about the most mundane topics. Think back on your conversations. Recall if the subject matter was bleak, but your body chemistry is excited. If this guy likes you and you like him, try calling him on the phone. Why wait for the guy to initiate things. Take control and call him. See if the conversation moves naturally. Some people aren’t phone people, but you can sometimes tell if they’re trying to make an effort.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open Skype. Click on your profile picture or name. Double-click your picture. Add or change your profile picture. Click "Set."

Answer: This assumes you're running version 5.3 or later of Skype. You can find this in the upper left hand corner of your profile. Clicking on it will open up a new page that allows you to change your picture. This will bring up the picture editor. There are three different ways that you can do this:  Click on the recent-pictures drop down menu to choose a picture you've used before. Click the camera button to take a picture of yourself with your webcam. Wait for the countdown from 3 to 1 and smile for your picture. Select "Choose..." to browse your photos to find another photo on your computer. This will save the picture. If you're not happy with how it looks, you can resize it by moving the slider back and forth. You should be all done after this.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a cast. Undergo surgery. Monitor your dog carefully during recovery.

Answer: For some breaks, your vet may put a cast on your dog. The cast helps keep the dog’s leg at a certain angle and reduces movement. A cast can only be placed on certain locations on the body due to the way it fits on the dog. For a simple crack in the bone or a non-displaced fracture, then a cast may be sufficient. Puppies heal much more quickly than older dogs, so they may also get a cast. For more complex fractures or breaks, your dog may require surgery. Breaks in adult or older dogs often are repaired through open surgery. During surgery, the dog is given an anesthetic. The surgeon opens the tissues overlying the bone to gain access to the fracture.  One method used in surgery is to stabilize the bones using a metal pin which is passed up through core of the bone to realign the fractures. Alternatively, the vet may use special metal plates which are screwed either side of the fracture to hold everything in place. For exceptionally complex fractures where the bone is broken in several pieces, an internal-external fixator is used. This is where pins are placed at right angles to the bone and the pins supported on an external scaffolding system. Regardless of the treatment method, it is essential your dog is rested for the duration of the healing time. The recovery time for your dog will vary depending on the age and severity of the break. The recovery time can range from five weeks for a growing puppy to 12 weeks for a typical adult dog.  Complications, such as movement of the implant or infection, can considerably delay healing and may raise the need for revisional surgery. Make sure to limit your dog’s activities, give your dog any prescribed medications, and follow your vet’s post-op directions exactly to ensure a speedy recovery for your dog.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a rustic basket option. Narrow down the theme further. Use a combination of fresh foods, ready-mixes, and commercially prepared foods.

Answer:
Food-themed gift baskets are among the most common, and the traditional wicker basket is an appropriate fit in many cases. If you want to vary from this, however, try to stick baskets or containers that have a comforting, cozy ambiance. For example, you could stack wine and cheese items on a cheeseboard, place gourmet coffees and teas in a burlap gift sack, or arrange fruits and wines in a wooden crate. Knowing that you want to treat the recipient to a basket of delicious food is a good starting point, but “food” is too general to stand as a solid theme. Try to pick a specific type of food or common food pairing and work from there.  Popular examples can include:  Wine and cheese baskets, containing one or two bottles of wine and several blocks of cheese to accompany the wine; Gourmet tea or coffee baskets, accented with tea biscuits or coffee cake; Chocolate baskets, containing chocolate goodies in multiple forms; Fruit and nut baskets, offering several types of fresh fruit and cans of salted or flavored nuts.   Think of the receiver's favorite foods. If the receiver loves chocolate, then some type of chocolate theme is probably a good way to go. On the other hand, that same basket would be a bad choice for someone who lacks a sweet tooth. Consider the time of year. Certain seasons and holidays are associated with different types of food, and you could build a theme around that. For example, autumn is associated with pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, and caramels; winter calls to mind hot chocolate and mint. The exact combination will depend on the theme you choose and your own talents in the kitchen, as well as the amount of time you'll need to wait before delivering the basket.  If you plan to present the basket later that same day or the following day, you can probably include more fresh foods like fruits, cheeses, and homemade baked goods. These won't work if you're making the basket a week in advance, though. Opt for preserved foods, commercially prepared foods, or ready-mixes if you need to save the basket for more than a few days. Ready-mixes also work well for recipients who enjoy spending time cooking in the kitchen.
