There are a host of general coupon sites (RetailMeNot.com, CouponCodes.com, CurrentCodes.com) as well as sites that are car-rental specific (RentalCodes.com, RentalCarMomma.com). Make sure to shop around for the best deal and keep an eye out for instances in which more than one coupon may be used at a time (infrequent but lucrative). This kind of software comes in various flavors, like mobile apps and browser extensions. When activated, they’ll automatically search the web for coupon codes that apply to whatever you’re purchasing online. This usually happens at checkout; as you book your car rental, the application will find the appropriate deal for you. You might already be signed up for a few of these without realizing it. They’re usually put in mailboxes and have a variety of coupons for local businesses. As such, you might find coupons and discount codes for local car rental companies in these packages. If you’re not already receiving them, you can either check with local businesses or do a quick online search to find coupon mailers in your area. Valpak is an example of a company that sends out promotional booklets with various coupons inside.

Summary: Search for coupon codes online. Use automated coupon applications. Sign up for mailers.


From the Preferences window, choose All in the bottom left of the window. If the simple method does not work for your field, it is possible that the audio tracks are not properly tagged. In this case, you will have to set the default audio track through a bit of trial and error. From the left side of your Advanced Preferences window, select the Inputs/Codecs header. This should open up a new page with Inputs/Codecs as the header. If your file has multiple audio tracks, you may need to experiment to find the correct one. If there are only 2 audio tracks, either 0 or 1 will be the correct track. 0 is the automatic track if you have reset your preferences; 1 will be the extra track. If the simple method did not work, this step probably won't change anything, but it is still worth a try. Enter in your desired language code in the input field next to "Audio Language." Again, the list of codes is here: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php. If you also are having trouble with setting a default subtitle track, try experimenting with different subtitle track numbers. Click the save button in the bottom right of the window to confirm your changes. You may need to restart the program for the changes to actually take affect.

Summary: Choose All settings. Select Inputs/Codecs. Change audio track number. Try entering a language. Change subtitle track number. Click Save. Restart VLC.


Those wishing to become Texas residents in order to vote must first be citizens of the U.S. This can be done through natural birth within U.S. borders, birth abroad to U.S. parents, or naturalization. Naturalization is a process in which a citizen of another country becomes a citizen of the U.S. Whatever your path to citizenship, you will need documentation of your citizenship, whether that be a birth certificate or a certificate of naturalization.  Becoming a U.S. citizen can take some time. Naturalization requires 5 years of legal residence in the U.S., followed by an application process and a naturalization test. The test consists of questions on English, U.S. history, and civics.  However, there is a strict limit on the number of people who can be permanent residents (those with green cards) and who can become citizens each year, so just because you want to apply and take the test does not mean you will be allowed to. While you do not need to show your ID to anyone to register to vote, the registration form asks for an driver's license or ID number and you will be required to show a form of ID when you actually go to vote. The forms of identification that are accepted at voting locations include:  Texas driver license Texas election identification certificate Texas identification card Texas license to carry permit United States military identification card United States citizenship certificate US passport Pick up a voter registration application from any polling place or state office. Fill out the form and mail it in 30 days before a scheduled election.  On the application you will be asked your name, address, driver's license or ID number, if you are a U.S. Citizen, and various other identifying information, such as your date of birth.  While voting is voluntary and not required to be a resident of Texas, it is something that only a resident can do.

Summary: Be a United States citizen. Have identification. Register to vote.


This is especially helpful for dyshidrotic eczema, which tends to occur on the hands and feet. Choose a moisturizing cream formulated for hands or feet.  Petroleum jelly can also help keep your skin moisturized. You may also be able to find a barrier cream, such as Tetrix, that can help reduce your exposure to skin irritants. This can be helpful if you handle irritating substances, such as water, cement, or nickel, during your work. Corticosteroid creams are effective for pretty much any kind of eczema. Your doctor can prescribe you one that will help treat your flare-up. Use the cream after bathing, or try putting it on before you go to sleep. In fact, you can apply it at night and then put on cotton gloves, which will keep the cream on your hands. Scratching makes the rash worse. In addition, bursting the blisters also makes the rash worse. If you can let them heal instead of bursting them, your skin will likely heal faster. Unlike other types of eczema, water can irritate this rash, especially on your hands. Try to keep your hands out of water as much as possible.  Sweating can also contribute to flare-ups. If you sweat a lot, your doctor may prescribe a treatment for this to help your eczema. Additionally, make sure to dry your hands thoroughly when you do get them wet. Metals such as nickel, chromium, and cobalt may also cause flare ups. You may be exposed to these metals if you work with concrete. Other chemicals from work or environmental exposure may also cause a flare-up. To keep your hands from this irritant, try wearing gloves. Calamine lotion can help soothe your rash. It can also calm the itching. You can also apply this lotion after washing your hands or bathing. You can find witch hazel at the drug store, usually near the rubbing alcohol. Witch hazel is an astringent. Soaking your hands in a bath of witch hazel can reduce skin inflammation and provide you with some relief during the healing process. This type of eczema can flare up when you're stressed out. Try to keep your stress levels down by incorporating calming routines into your life, such as a daily meditation regiment.  Identify what causes you stress. Whether it's your job or even the evening news, identifying what makes you stressed out is the first step in dealing with it. Avoid or change what you can, such as skipping the news, and try to change your attitude about the rest. Try meditation. One simple way to meditate is pick a mantra. A mantra can be any simple phrase that calms you, such as "Life is good," or even just "om." Close your eyes, and repeat the phrase, letting your mind fill up with it. Continue until you feel calmer. Because this type of eczema is an immune response, immune-suppressing creams or pills can be effective. Some drugs in this class are tacrolimus and pimecrolimus. Your doctor will decide whether creams or oral treatment will be more effective for you. This type of light treatment can help decrease the severity of a flare-up, especially when used in combination with medications to help you absorb the ultraviolet light used. Usually, this treatment is only used when others do not work.
Summary: Use a moisturizing cream or ointment. Use a corticosteroid cream. Don't scratch. Avoid water. Avoid certain types of metals and other irritants. Use calamine lotion. Try a witch hazel soak. Try techniques to help you relax. Talk to your doctor about immune-suppressing creams or pills. Ask about phototherapy.
