Problem: Article: Fill a large bucket or sink with cool to room temperature water. Immerse the leather in the water for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes thoroughly soaked.  Note that this process works best when used with vegetable tanned leather. You can technically stiffen the leather by soaking it in nothing but room temperature water, but it will only become mildly harder and you will not be able to shape it. The addition of a hot water step will allow you to make structural changes while hardening the leather further. As your leather soaks, fill a large stockpot with water and set it on the stove over high heat. Continue heating the water until it reaches a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius).  Use an accurate thermometer to keep track of the temperature. If the water is too hot or too cold, your results can vary dramatically from those described here. If you do not have a thermometer, you can gauge the temperature of the water by slowly heating it on the stove and testing it every minute or so with your bare hand. If you can keep your hand immersed in the water, it is safe to use that temperature for your leather. Once you can no longer bear to keep your hand in the water for more than an instant, remove the water from the heat source and do not allow it to get any hotter. Some people prefer to soak the leather in boiling water. Doing so stiffens the leather at a faster pace, but it also gives you less control. The resulting leather can become very brittle and may be unevenly stiff across its surface. Pull the leather out of the cool water and immerse it in the hot water. Let it remain there for a few minutes.  After the first minute, you should already see the leather darken and curl. The longer you soak the leather, the stiffer it will become. If you soak the leather too long, however, it will be more brittle when dry. When using this method, soaking the leather in hot water for 30 seconds after it already darkens will result in a piece of leather that is hard but not inflexible. This means that the total hot water soak time would be about 90 seconds. Leave the leather in the water for a longer period of time if you want to make it stiffer. When you pull the leather out of the water, it should be fairly flexible. If you need the form the leather into a specific shape, now is the time to do so. When wet, the leather will be stretchy and easy to form. This stretchiness will vanish within the first minute or two, though, so you need to work fast if you plan to stretch it out. The leather will still remain flexible for up to an hour after the stretchiness fades away, though. Let the leather sit out at room temperature for several hours. After it dries, the leather should be notably thicker and stiffer. Stiffened leather will also shrink, so the piece you started out with may not look as large when you finish the process.
Summary: Soak the leather in cool water. Heat a second pot of water. Dunk the leather in the hot water. Shape as desired. Allow the leather to dry at room temperature.

Problem: Article: Add a rich flavor to your turkey or chicken by using a no-salt poultry seasoning. Drizzle the meat with some olive oil and one or two teaspoons of your seasoning. Cook the meat according to your recipe. To make the no-salt poultry seasoning, measure out and combine:  1 tablespoon of dried ground sage 1 tablespoon of dried ground thyme 1 tablespoon of dried ground marjoram 1 teaspoon of dried ground rosemary 1 teaspoon of crushed celery seed 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper If you're used to simply seasoning your steaks or roasts with salt and pepper, it's probably time to change up the flavors. Swap out salt and pepper for a no-salt beef seasoning that enhances the flavors of most cuts of beef. Sprinkle about 1/4 of a teaspoon of the seasoning for each pound of meat you're preparing. For the seasoning, you'll need to mix:  1 tablespoon of garlic powder 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried basil 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried parsley 1 1/4 teaspoons of ground thyme 1 teaspoon of ground mace or nutmeg 1 teaspoon of onion powder 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper 1 teaspoon of dried sage 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper If you'd like to give any type of fish or shrimp a zesty flavor with a little heat, create a salt-free version of seafood creole seasoning. Sprinkle the seafood with a little of the mixture and saute or blacken the seafood for additional flavor. You'll need to mix together:  1/8 of a cup of powdered garlic 1/8 of a cup of ground black pepper 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon of dried thyme 1 tablespoon of dried basil 1 tablespoon of dried oregano 2 1/2 tablespoons of paprika 1 1/2 tablespoons of powdered onion If you're someone who regularly reaches for the salt on the table, mix up an all-purpose seasoning that can replace your table salt. This way, you can reach for an instant flavor fix for your meals. Mix up this all purpose seasoning and store it in a spice jar. You'll need to combine:  2 tablespoons of black pepper 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon of paprika 1 tablespoon of onion powder 1 tablespoon of garlic powder 1 ground bay leaf
Summary: Mix a no-salt poultry seasoning. Create a no-salt seasoning for beef. Make a salt-free seasoning for fish. Create an all-purpose seasoning without salt.

Problem: Article: Once the addendum has been drafted, send it to the other party. Let them review it for accuracy and completeness. Before the addendum is signed, both parties need to understand what they are agreeing to. If the other party has any questions or concerns about the addendum, negotiate an acceptable agreement and re-draft the addendum as necessary. To demonstrate both parties' assent to the addendum and its terms, you and the other party need to sign the agreement in order to execute it. Sign the agreement in the appropriate location in the signature block and date it. However, in some leases, the original document might define who needs to sign the agreement. For example, maybe only the landlord needs to sign the addendum or vice versa. If required, or agreed to, you can get the signatures notarized, which will help prove that each party did in fact sign the agreement. A notary is a licensed professional who will witness each party sign the agreement. At the end, the notary will put their stamp of approval on the document saying they swear they saw each party sign it. Once the addendum has been executed, it should be attached to the original lease. You can make copies for your records as well.
Summary:
Make sure each party agrees to the terms of the addendum. Get the signature of every party. Have the addendum notarized. Attach the addendum to the original lease document.
