Using one hand, firmly slide the glass down as far as you can. If necessary, guide the bottom edge with your other hand.  If the window is stuck, run a thin utility knife between the window and door to remove any blockage, then continue sliding it down. Keep the blade parallel to the window to avoid scratching it. If the window will not move down, pull the panel out through the top opening and reinsert it. Move your window glass until it is lined up on the window track again. Look for areas where the track is pinched, pressed down, or blocked and adjust the window accordingly. When you’re finished, your window should sit entirely within the track. Window tracks are not uniform, so consult your owner’s manual for model specific instructions. In some cars, you may need to remove the bolts on the window track, slide the window in, and rebolt the track. Realigning your glass to fit the track may throw other parts of the window off, in particular the motor and other elements of the window regulator mechanism. Check to make sure that your window is connected to every part of the lift it needs to be, consulting your owner’s manual for model specific information. If anything is not properly connected, gently adjust your glass or the lift itself to fix the problem. Over time, your rollers and tracks will dry out, making it harder for them to raise and lower the window. To fix this, clear the rollers and tracks of any dirt or dust using a brush or can of compressed air, then rub on a coat of Lucas Oil white lithium grease or similar white lithium lubricant. Avoid generic brand lubricant like WD-40 unless you’re using a specialty variant. If possible, reattach just the crank handle or control switch and use them to test the repair. For some cars, you may need to reattach the entire door panel before testing. When you’re finished checking and realigning your window, replace the door panel and everything you removed. Start by plugging in any wires your disconnected and replacing any protective covers. Then, slip your panel back in place followed by any accessories your removed. Finally, secure everything with the screws and bolts you took out.

SUMMARY: Drop the window glass to the bottom of the window channel. Move the glass onto the window track. Connect your glass to the window lift if necessary. Cover your rollers and tracks with lubricant. Test to make sure the window works. Reattach the door panel.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Close a bottle of wine after pouring individual glasses from it. Use the cork that the bottle came with, or a reusable wine stopper.  Re-cork properly by inserting the cork into the bottle in the same direction as when you pulled it out. Avoid putting the “clean” side of the cork into the bottle facing the wine, even if it seems easier to do so, as it may not be clean and could in fact contaminate the wine.  If you don’t have a cork or stopper available to seal your wine bottle, use a small piece of plastic wrap to cover the mouth of the bottle, then secure with a rubber band. Once the bottle is re-corked, put it into a wine chiller or the refrigerator. Keep in mind, though, that once the wine touches the air, it will begin to lose its fruit and freshness quickly. It's best to finish an opened bottle within 2-3 days.  Don’t store the wine bottle horizontally on its side once opened, whether on a rack or in the refrigerator. This will expose a greater surface area of the wine to oxygen.  Note that keeping wine in the refrigerator will not keep it from going bad, but it can slow down the chemical process responsible for making the wine lose its flavor. Keep an opened wine bottle away from direct sunlight and high heat. Favor cool, dark areas or a fridge.  Avoid storage in temperatures above 70° F. Also keep the wine away from a window to prevent heating and discoloration from the sun.  When taking leftover red wine out of storage in the fridge or other cool place, let it warm up gradually. Place the bottle in lukewarm water, or simply bring it out of the fridge about an hour before serving.

SUMMARY: Cork the bottle. Stick the bottle in a chiller or fridge. Avoid heat and light.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just because you aren't a big company, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a vivid professional brand.  Here are a few points to consider:  Decide whether you will use your own name or work under a business name. Don't be afraid to invest in business cards, a logo, uniforms and a sign to put outside your home or business. Make sure all of them are consistently branded. Make it clean and professional. Use a logo or imagery that conveys your business or service. Include details about your offering and your prices and try to demonstrate your skills. If you are a designer or a writer, put up samples of your work. Let people know how to contact you. Actively marketing your services is vital to get your name out there, and it shows prospective clients that you're available for work.  Consider these avenues:  Investigate online advertising.  This could include setting up social media accounts for your business, sending emails with special offers, or signing up for ads. Pursue print publishing.  Buy up space in your local newspaper, or find a trade publication that caters to people in your industry and pursue an ad there. If there are publications or web pages that compare different contractors who offer the same services, make sure to get yourself listed. Describe your services in brochures. You can hire a professional to make them for you, or build them yourself using software like Microsoft Word or Open Office. Consider enlisting the help of a copywriter to highlight your unique skills and strengths. The right connections can make all the difference in running your own business.  Attend networking events and join organizations. If you work mostly locally, consider joining your city's chamber of commerce.  Notify other contractors in your field about your availability—and find out their's. If another contractor is too busy to take on a gig, they might pass the client on to you. Do the same for them, when you can. Partner with those that can send you business leads. For example, if you are a copywriter, connect with graphic designers whose clients may also need marketing copy for their websites. Contact friends, family members and former colleagues to inform them of your services. Ask them to spread the word to potential clients.

SUMMARY:
Establish your brand. Create a website. Advertise. Network with other professionals. Inform your personal network of your availability.
