Summarize the following:
It is a special wedge-shaped tool that's mounted onto a handle. The wedge has curved lines carved into it, which mimic a woodgrain texture when you rock and drag it across a painted surface. It is often sold as a kit with a smaller woodgrain rocker as well as a comb-like tool. You can find it in hardware and paint-supply stores. This method is best suited to large, flat surfaces, such as doors and tables. Choose tan or beige-tinted latex primer. Apply the primer using a synthetic bristle brush in overlapping rows from one end of the surface to the other. Let the primer dry completely before moving on. This may take up to an hour, or even longer. The paint may take longer to dry if it is very cold or humid where you live. Choose a latex paint color that is 2 to 3 shades darker than the one you just applied. Mix it with equal parts of acrylic glaze in a jar. Close the jar tightly and shake it to mix the color. You'll get a translucent glaze. Do not paint the entire surface just yet. Instead, use a synthetic bristle brush or a roller to apply the glaze in a 6 in (15 cm) wide strip on the left or right edge of your surface. Work your way from the top of the object to the bottom.  If you are right-handed, apply the paint to the left edge. If you are left-handed, apply the paint to the right edge. Do not apply the paint to the entire surface. You want to work in 6 in (15 cm) wide strips at a time. Place the woodgrain rocker on top of your surface, so that its top edge aligns with the top edge of whatever you are painting. Slide the rocker down towards the bottom edge of your surface, while slowly rocking the tool downward.  Pull the comb along the edge of your completed grain for a more natural appearance. For a smaller grain, rock the tool up and down while dragging it. Wipe all of your brushes, woodgrain rockers, and combs clean first. Apply another 6 in (15 cm) wide strip of your glaze-paint solution right next to the first strip. Immediately drag and rock the woodgrain rocker down the newly-painted strip. Run the comb that came with the kit along the edge, if desired. Keep working like this until you reach the other side of the surface. If the texture is too bold for you, tone it down by running a soft-bristled brush over it. Do this before the glaze finishes drying.

summary: Obtain a woodgrain rocker. Apply a tinted latex primer to the surface, and let it dry. Mix a darker wood shade with acrylic glaze. Apply the translucent glaze to your surface in a 6 in (15 cm) strip. Drag and rock the woodgrain rocker across the wet paint. Wipe your tools clean, then repeat the process.

No meat or dairy.  Check on it every few hours. There should be a swarm of fruit flies in 3 hours or so. First, snap a lid on the jar, and then turn it upright. You can then follow the directions below to culture them, or feed them right away to your pet.
summary: Put scraps of old fruit/vegetables in a large jar. Set the jar near a trash can or near a compost pile (without the lid, but make sure you've got one that fits tightly). Leave the jar there for several hours. When you've got a lot of fruit flies in the jar, you'll have to work quickly.
