Article: When using any flea and tick preventative, it's important to follow the written instructions exactly as they're written. You should always read the instructions before administering any product. Even if you've used a product before, the directions or usage guidelines may have changed.  Only use one application per pet. Make sure it's for the right animal, as cats and dogs should receive different products. Use the right size or dose for each application. For example, don't split a large dog application between two small dogs or use two small dog applications for one large dog. Closely monitor your pet after you've administered any flea and tick preventative to ensure that it does not experience any adverse side effects. Always talk to your vet before using a preventative product on animals that are old, weak, sick, nursing, or on medication. Ask your vet about how to prevent fleas and ticks on pets that have had allergic reactions in the past. Timing can be a factor in how your pet reacts to flea and tick preventatives. Many pets suffering from adverse reactions experience these problems when the treatment is used too soon before or after administering other products or vaccinations.  If you must give your pet multiple medicinal products, space out their use by at least 7 days. If going to the vet, make sure your pet does not receive a vaccination on the same day as any preventative products. An abnormal body temperature can also lead to adverse reactions to preventative products. Never administer flea and tick preventatives immediately after your pet has been bathed, sedated, or anesthetized. Sometimes pets that have an adverse reaction to one type of preventative can handle a different application method. For example, if your pet did not do well with a topical product, try an oral product. If oral products have caused problems for your pet, try switching to a topical product.  Always talk to your vet before administering any flea and tick preventative if your pet has experienced problems in the past. Give oral products with food. This can help reduce the risk of digestive problems. Some experts recommend administering an over-the-counter antacid like Pepcid shortly before administering an oral preventative product. Some animals with severe allergies to both oral and topical flea and tick preventatives may need a non-medicated preventative. Even though natural alternatives are not technically medicated, you should still consult a veterinarian before using any product on your pet. You can find vets that specialize in holistic treatments by searching online or checking your local phone book.Some natural alternatives that your vet may recommend to prevent fleas and ticks include:  herbal black walnut quassia bark diatomaceous earth essential oils

Problem: Article: Set the skillet on the stove and put as many shelled pine nuts as you want to toast into the skillet. Spread them so they're in a single layer. If you want to toast a lot of pine nuts, you may need to make them in batches. Toasting the pine nuts in a skillet is one of the fastest ways to toast a small number of pine nuts. You'll need to stir them frequently so they don't burn. If you prefer, swirl the skillet carefully so the pine nuts slide around. Because the pine nuts will continue to cook even once you turn off the burner, transfer the golden brown pine nuts to a plate or baking sheet. This will allow them to cool quickly. Put the cooled pine nuts into an airtight storage container and keep them at room temperature. Put them somewhere out of direct sunlight so they don't turn rancid. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze the toasted pine nuts for up to 3 to 6 months in an airtight storage container.
Summary: Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet. Turn the burner to medium-low and heat the pine nuts for 3 minutes. Remove the pine nuts once they're golden brown. Store the pine nuts for up to 1 week in an airtight container.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This has been left open purposefully, so judge using your cooking intuition. Heat over medium heat to melt. Alternatively, zap in the microwave. Cover a small way down the edges, not too much. Lay on a parchment covered baking sheet. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes, or until set. Hull and halve the strawberries and peel and slice the kiwifruit. Fill each shell with the vanilla pudding. You can vary the pudding flavor as preferred. Pipe or spoon whipped cream across the top of the fruit. Although optional, it adds a tasty and fancy touch. Arrange on serving plates and offer as dessert.

SUMMARY: Use filling amounts appropriate for the number of tacos you'll be making. Add Nutella to a double boiler. Dip the edges of the taco shells in the melted Nutella. Place the Nutella-dipped tacos into the freezer. Cut the fruit while the tacos are setting. Remove the tacos from the freezer. Add fruit pieces to each taco. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish. Serve.

To manually jumpstart a dead phone battery, you will need:  A 9-volt battery Electrical tape 2 electrical wires: Basic, thin electrical wire will do. Red (+) and black (-) are preferred. Be very cautious when dealing with electrical circuits. If you don't know what you're doing, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Overheating your battery or making wrong electrical connections may be extremely dangerous, and even explode your battery. You will usually have to open the back of your phone or the casing in order to remove the battery. The positive end is the smaller hole at the top of the 9-volt battery. Connect one end of your two wires here, and tape it with electrical tape for a secure connection. You can find a "+" sign on the positive side of the battery. The negative end is the larger hole at the top of the 9V battery. Make sure to securely connect and tape your second wire here with electrical tape. You can find a "-" sign on the negative side of the battery. The positive and negative ends are usually labeled with "(+)" and "(–)" signs on the battery's casing.  If you're not sure which end is positive or negative on your phone battery, make sure to consult to the manufacturer's manual or a professional electrician. Most cell phone batteries have more than two terminals; use the ones that are furthest from each other or the ones on the outside. The center terminals are not to be used. Take the wire connected to the 9V battery's positive end, and connect the wire's other end to your phone battery's positive (+) socket.  Remember to use two separate wires or split wires for each of the terminals. Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of either battery with itself. Do not connect opposite polarity, positive to negative, because this can short-cut your cell phone battery, and cause damage, or even a small explosion. Take the negative wire connected to the 9V battery's negative end, and securely tape its other end to your phone battery's negative (–) socket. This will be enough for the battery to jumpstart and charge a little.  Make sure check the battery every 10-seconds, and make sure it doesn't overheat. When your battery is getting a bit warm, you can remove all the wire connections. Make sure to properly insert your battery into your phone's battery compartment. After jumpstarting with a 9V battery, check to see if your phone turns on, and check the battery level to see how much it charged the battery. You can try charging your phone with your regular charging cable now.
