Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a darker wash for a slimming and sophisticated look. Go for a more edgy look by purchasing “destroyed” jeans. Purchase a pair of light wash jeans for a relaxed look. Look for unique dyes, fabrics, and embellishments. Opt for a pair with some stretch to the fabric. Search for styles with mid- to high-rise waist lines for tummy control. Try jeggings for more stretch.

Answer: Darker wash jeans tend to be more flattering and versatile for plus size women. Look for pairs with a dark blue or black color that have some lighter portions on the upper thigh for contrast. Be aware that dark wash jeans can sometimes transfer dyes onto your skin and other pieces of clothing. Ask the store associate or check the washing instructions to see how to care for your jeans to avoid dye transfer! Skinny jeans with holes, tears, or bleach stains are very popular for a rocker-style look. They tend to be more expensive due to their styling, but are sure to make your outfit stand out from the crowd.  Look for destroyed jeans that are well-constructed. Any holes or tears should look purposeful and still be able to hold up to normal wear and tear. If the holes or rips in your jeans tear further after you wear them a few times, contact the store to let them know the situation and ask for a refund. Light wash jeans are popular for warmer months because they pair well with brighter colors. Look for more relaxed fits in light jeans because they tend to be less forgiving of bumps and curves than darker washes.  Boyfriend-style light wash skinny jeans tend to be looser and can be cuffed at the ankles for a more relaxed and effortless style. You don’t have to confine yourself to just denim when looking for skinny jeans. There are plenty of other fabric options like leather, suede, or a mix of different fabrics. Try on any style that interests you! Be aware that different fabrics will have a different fit. Leather and suede tend to have less stretch than traditional denim, so you might need to adjust your sizing to get the perfect fit! Skinny jeans should mold to your body and provide support where you need it, like the backside and tummy areas. Look for pairs that are 1-4% lycra or spandex, as they will have some stretch but still maintain their shape after washing.  Jeans with higher percentages of elastic will lose their shape quickly after a few runs through the washer and dryer. They can also wear out in areas that rub together often, like the thighs, causing embarrassing rips and tears. A main concern for plus size women is the smoothing and controlling effect of the jeans. Skinny jeans with a higher waist will elongate your legs and slim the tummy area for a better fit. They can also feel more comfortable without a belt.  High-rise jeans will normally fall above the belly button and provide the most support and tummy control. Mid-rise jeans, also known as normal rise, hit right at or just below the belly button and provide less control, but can be more flattering for women with shorter torsos. Many stores carry both skinny jeans and jeggings styles for plus size women. Skinny jeans have less stretch and provide more structure, while jeggings tend to be thinner material and much stretchier. Try on both and decide which you prefer for your personal look. Some women prefer to wear longer tops over jeggings because they are normally tighter than traditional skinny jeans.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Feed the included bolts into the new flange. Push the new flange on and into the outflow pipe. Drive screws through the flange lip and into the flooring. Remove the towel or T-shirt from the outflow pipe. Tilt up the toilet and push the new wax ring into place.

Answer: Remove the nut and washers on each bolt and set them aside for final installation. The flange lip will have channels on either side, into which you can feed the heads of the 2 bolts. Position the bolts so that they are pointing straight up and are directly across from each other. If you’ve lost the new bolts, you can likely reuse the bolts from the old flange, provided that they’re still in good condition. The lip of the flange should rest flush on the floor all the way around, while the neck of the flange should slide snugly into the pipe. Position the flange so that the protruding bolts are at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions (presuming that the back of the toilet will be at 12 o’clock).  The neck of the flange should have a rubber gasket that creates a seal against the inside of the overflow pipe. If the lip of the flange won’t rest flush to the floor all the way around, the flooring is likely warped or damaged due to water. You should do any needed floor repairs (or call in a pro to do them) before proceeding. Use a screwdriver (turning it clockwise) to secure the screws that came in the product package. There will be pre-cut holes in the flange lip where you should drive the screws in.  Use a drill to create new pilot holes in the flooring, if needed. Existing holes from the previous flange may be in the same location but be too large to hold the new screws. If so, use a mallet to tap plastic wall anchors into the holes, then drive the screws through the flange lip and into the anchors. Most toilet flanges come with 4 screws, but yours may have more or fewer. Pick out any pieces of wax ring, loose screws or washers, etc. before removing the towel or shirt. Otherwise they may fall down the pipe. Don’t plan on using this towel or shirt again—just toss it! Press the rounded side of the wax ring over the pipe stub that surrounds the opening on the bottom of the toilet. Press firmly all the way around the wax ring, but don’t deform it.  Pros usually prefer to apply the wax ring this way in order to guarantee a good seal around the toilet. However, you can also lay the ring (rounded side up) on top of the toilet flange, then set the toilet on top of it.  If you’re using the newer type of “wax ring” that is actually a rubber gasket, lay it rounded side up on the toilet flange and place the toilet on top of it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go for a jog. Take a spin class. Sign up for an aerobics class. Grab a jump rope. Go for a swim. Get on the rowing machine.

Answer:
One great calorie burning exercise to try is jogging.  It's a higher impact exercise that requires the use of many large muscle groups to perform.  To burn at least 300 calories in a half an hour, you have to jog or run.  Aim for your pace to be around a 10-minute mile or 6 mph (if you're on the treadmill).  Keep in mind that the number of calories you burn during any type of exercise will depend on factors like your sex, age, weight, and effort level. Note that the faster your pace, the more calories you'll burn in that 30 minute time span. Although it's commonly believed that walking burns the same calories per mile as running, it'll take you more than 30 minutes to walk 3 to 4 miles. A high intensity aerobic exercise you can also try is a spin class.  These classes are notoriously challenging and will help you torch calories in a short amount of time.  The reason why a spin class is so good at burning calories is that it alternates between moderate and high intensities, requires you to use large muscle groups (like your legs) and keeps your heart rate elevated.  You may burn around 400 calories in 30 minutes of spinning depending on your age, weight, sex, and effort level. Note that you need to make sure you're working at a minimum of moderate intensity to reach this calorie goal.  This means keeping the resistance up and not taking many breaks. Many spin classes run for an hour. Check your gym’s class schedule to see if they offer any 30 minute classes. If you're more of a group exercise type of person, consider signing up for some aerobics classes.  Many of these are high in intensity and will help you meet your 300 calorie goal.  Look over the fitness class schedule at your gym.  See if there are any fitness classes that are designed to burn a lot of calories. For example, some high intensity Zumba, kick boxing, high intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training or step aerobics classes will help you meet your calorie burn goal. Many of these classes can help you burn around 300 calories in 30 minutes.  Make sure you're working at a higher intensity. A fun exercise you can do is jumping rope.  Bring back childhood memories and torch about 300 calories in 30 minutes.  You might be surprised to know that jumping rope is a great calorie burn.  While you do need to work harder than a game of Double Dutch, it's a great form of exercise. In general, moderate to high intensity versions of jumping rope can help you burn about 350 calories in 30 minutes. But remember that the amount of calories you burn may be more or less depending on your weight, age, sex, and effort level. Increase the intensity or difficulty by changing speeds, crossing the rope in front of you or jumping on one leg. Some forms of swimming can also help you burn calories in a short amount of time.  Plus, these pool workouts are easier on your joints.  Swimming, like the rowing machine, recruits just about every major muscle group in your body.  This is why it's such a great exercise for higher calorie burns. In general, treading water or swimming laps may burn just around 300 calories in a half an hour.  However, if you do harder or more difficult strokes, the total calories you burn will increase.  For example, doing the butterfly stroke or crawl may burn around 330 calories in a half an hour. If you want to use a machine, the rowing machine might be a good option for you.  This may help you meet your 300 calorie goal.  One of the reasons that the rowing machine can help you burn so many calories is that it requires you to use large muscle groups. When you have more muscles engaged, your body needs to use more energy (or calories) to fuel those muscles. Remember that calories burned will depend on factors such as your age, weight, sex, and effort level. For example, in a 30-minute time period, a 30 year old 180 pound male working at 75% of his full capacity may burn about 316 calories.
