Problem: Article: Choose your favorite color or just a color you think would make a good snake. Put a piece of clay between your hands and roll it back and forth until you make a long, log shape. You can continue rolling until the snake is as thin or thick as you'd like.  Go as quickly or slowly as you like, depending on how closely you want to monitor your clay log's length. Be careful not to make your clay log too thin, as it will progressively get more delicate the thinner it gets.
Summary: Roll a piece of clay between your fingers.

Problem: Article: Soon after you remove the flowers from the tobacco plant, the bottom leaves will start to yellow and deteriorate. Use a pair of pruning shears or scissors to remove the lowest leaves on the plant. You don’t want to remove all the leaves from tobacco right away since they will continue to grow and develop. Starting from the bottom, remove leaves as they turn yellow every 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can cut the entire stalk down 3-4 weeks after you remove the flowers, but the lower leaves may be partially deteriorated at this time. Tie a string to the stems of the tobacco leaves and hang them to dry. Leave space in between the leaves so they can dry out. The leaves should stay soft and move around easily without being crinkled or flaky. As they lose moisture, the leaves will start to turn yellow and brown. Aging and curing tobacco helps the leaves get rid of their herby flavor and makes them taste more desirable. Hang the tobacco where the humidity is consistently around 65 percent. The process can take up to 8 weeks, and the longer you wait, the better it may taste. During this time, the leaves will brown and start to feel leathery to the touch.  A room where you can control air flow is the best place to hang and cure the tobacco. You can age the tobacco for up to 3 years for the flavor to fully develop. When the leaves aren’t sticky to the touch, you can start removing the main stems from the leaves. The leaves should easily pull away from the stem. Once the tobacco is dried and cured to your liking, put the leaves in a blender to shred it finely. This will make it easier for you to roll it into a cigarette or smoke in a pipe. If tobacco loses its moisture, it will lose some of its flavor. Storing tobacco in an airtight jar will help preserve the flavor for the longest amount of time. Add a few drops of vanilla extract or another flavoring to enhance the flavor of your tobacco.
Summary: Remove the bottom leaves when they turn slightly yellow. Cut the leaves off the stem in 4-5 harvests at 2-week intervals. Hang the leaves by their stems on a line to dry for 3 weeks. Store the tobacco in a room between 60 to 95 °F (16 to 35 °C) to cure it. Remove the stems from the leaves by hand. Shred the leaves with a blender. Store shredded tobacco in airtight jars to keep it moist.

Problem: Article: If you are experiencing back pain and want to use an ice pack to relieve it, you can either make an ice pack or purchase one. From commercial packs to bags of frozen vegetables, any choice you make can help you alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation.  You can purchase commercial ice packs specifically designed for the back at many pharmacies and medical supply stores. Make a slushy ice pack by pouring three cups (710 ml) of water and one cup (237 ml) of denatured alcohol in a large freezer bag. Wrap it inside another freezer bag to avoid spilling. Place it in the freezer until it is a slushy consistency. You can put small ice cubes or crushed ice in a plastic bag to make an ice pack. You can also use a bag of frozen vegetables, which may nicely fit the contours of your back. Before you apply your ice pack, wrap it in a towel or cloth. Not only can this keep you from getting wet and keep the pack in place, but may also protect your skin from becoming numb or getting ice burn or even frostbite. It’s especially important to wrap a commercial blue ice pack in a towel. These are colder than frozen water and can cause frostbite. You want to be comfortable while you ice your back. Finding a comfortable place where you can lie or sit can help you relax, relieve discomfort, and get the full benefits of icing.  It may be easier to lie down while icing your back. Be sure to keep your knees slightly bent to relieve pressure off of your lower back. You can also place an ice pack on a chair and hold it in place by wedging it between your back and the chair back. You may need to add a towel between the ice pack and the chair so it doesn’t slip around. Once you’re comfortable, place the ice pack on the area of your back that is causing you pain. This may offer you some immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation that is exacerbating your discomfort.  Keep the pack on the affected area for no more than 20 minutes per session. Less than 10 minutes may be ineffective but too much time can cause damage, so shoot for 15-20 minutes. Doing it for longer than 20 minutes can damage skin (cryoburn) and underlying tissues.  You can use the ice pack after activity or exercise, but don’t use it beforehand. This may prevent your brain from receiving important pain signals to stop.  If your pack doesn’t cover the entire area causing you pain, you can do spot ice treatments to get relief. Practice relaxing and taking deep breaths while you’re using the ice pack to relieve more tension. Use a guided meditation if it helps you feel more therapeutic effects. You can also use elastic wrap or shrink wrap to hold the pack in place. Try taking an over-the-counter pain reliever along with your ice treatments. Using this combination may relieve your pain more quickly and also help control inflammation.  Take acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen sodium to help relieve your back pain.  NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium may also help relieve inflammation. Ice is most effective for back pain in the days immediately following when you first notice pain. Keep applying the ice until you no longer have pain, or see a doctor if it persists.  You can ice your back up to five times a day with at least 45 minutes in between treatments.  The continued icing keeps your tissue temperatures low and may help reduce inflammation and pain. Consult with your doctor if icing doesn’t help after a week or your pain becomes unbearable. She may be able to treat the pain more effectively and quickly, and can also identify any underlying causes that may be causing you discomfort.
Summary:
Prepare an ice pack. Wrap the ice pack in a towel or cloth. Find a comfortable place for your treatment. Place the ice pack on your back. Combine ice with a pain reliever. Continue treatment for a few days. See your doctor.
