Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a mount. Find the 3 or 4 ceiling joists or support beams. Drill holes into the ceiling joists. Attach a 2x6 hardwood board to the ceiling. Attach the mount to the hardwood board.

Answer: These range from inexpensive to very pricey. Most mounts come with all the nuts and bolts needed to install them. You can find mounts at sporting goods stores or online. You can find ceiling joists or support beams by using a stud finder. Make sure that you find ceiling joists in an area that allows movement. Your bag will be mounted on a middle joist.  Joists are usually placed 16" apart. If you don't have a stud finder, you can use a measuring tape to measure from the edge of the wall, marking every 16". In some houses, the joists may run up to 24" apart. Use the knock test to double check. If you knock on the ceiling and hear a hollow sound, there is no joist. If the sound is not hollow, you are knocking against a ceiling joist. Choose a place in the ceiling where the joist meets with a cross beam if possible. You can center the mount to the crossbeam for added support. Use a level to make sure that the holes you are drilling are straight across the joists. When you drill the holes, make sure to drill them into the center of the joist.  You will need 3-inch wood screws. The threads on the screw need to catch and thread into the ceiling joist. Choose a drill bit so that the holes in the ceiling are sized so that the drilled hole is slightly larger than the shank of the wood screw, not the threads. This is going to be the base for the mount. The 2x6 should be long enough to span all the ceiling joists and support the screws. Attach the board to the ceiling using the newly drilled holes and wood screws. You want to connect the board to the ceiling at each joist.  If you have a crossbeam, center the wood along the crossbeam. This will be where you will hang the bag. You can use a 2x4, but a 2x6 or higher will provide more support for your heavy bag. Most mounts include all hardware needed to attach the mount to the ceiling. You may need a screwdriver, drill, or other tool to attach the mount. You should attach the legs of the mount in the center of the middle ceiling joist.  Make sure to never install the mount into drywall. Try sticking a heavy bag chain or spring between the mount and the chains. This reduces vibration, and can possibly save your drywall.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place the image for scanning. Choose your scanning preferences. Choose to preview. Click "Finish" or "Scan". Use the built in program to guide you through the process. Save your photos.

Answer: Place documents face down on the printer or scanner surface. Align photo within the arrows or grids on the device. Close the lid if there is one. Press scan on the scanner or use the scanning program on your computer. You'll have the choice of scanning in color, black and white, gray or custom. You can also choose the digital format in which you want to save your picture (jpg, jpeg or tiff). Clicking preview allows you to review your selection before continuing and make necessary changes to the settings. Use the preview to decide on the type of format, orientation and resolution before continuing. "Orientation" allows the user to select portrait or landscape and "Resolution" determines the sharpness of the image. A higher resolution will make the details of the picture more noticeable. To make a sharper image, increase the resolution. Note: This will also increase the size of the image, and dramatically increase the size of the file. You may not be able to send it as an email attachment without making it smaller. Above 300 dpi is unnecessary. Once you have chose the settings you want in the preview, click finish or scan to continue and complete the process. Which word is used will depend on your program and another one altogether may even be used. Follow the Scan Wizard or other built in program if you still have trouble. The Wizard will show you step-by-step on how to copy pictures from a scanner to the computer or web site. Some programs will automatically save your images to a cache within the program itself but for most programs you will need to save the images somewhere on your computer or upload them directly to the internet. Look for the save button or use the save prompt when it comes up. Save the pictures somewhere where you won't lose them. You don't have have to worry about renaming every photo. If you have a large number of photos that can take a long time!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be forward about asking for it back. Ask a question about it. Send a message regarding the item. Constantly bring it up.

Answer: Be bold and come out with your request.  Even if they’ve had it a long time, just assume they have intended to return it, and say, "I’d like to get my copy of X-Men back when we meet next."  With that direct approach, embarrassment or common courtesy will likely cause them to return your item. By inquiring about the item you’ll be less confrontational.  It suggests uncertainty, and allows your friend to be confident in their reply, as if they were the one who decided to return the item.  Try a few of the following approaches:   "Are you done with my copy of Twilight?  I’d like to have it back when you’re done." ”Hey, I’m looking for my hat, do you still have it?” ”Would you mind giving the video game back to me?” A message allows you to be direct without having to confront your friend.  It’s easily less personal.  There is possible misinterpretation, so be careful with your wording.  Facebook allows you a great way to send a message.  Send a private message with just enough information to let your friend know you’d like the item back. Shoot your friend a quick email.  Nothing extravagant is needed.  Just ask for your item back. Text your friend.  Ask for the item and include their favorite emoticon to make it less harsh. Whenever you talk to your friend, bring it up.  No matter the conversation, steer everything back to the loaned item.  Your friend will quickly get the hint.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Provide your cat with pain medication. Give your cat a small amount of food and water. Give your cat a quiet place to recover. Stay calm if your cat is shaking or trembling. Watch your cat for other signs of illness.

Answer:
Your veterinarian may prescribe a pain medication for your cat after her surgery.  If a medication is provided, follow the instructions as to when and how to give them to your cat.  Do not, under any circumstances, give your cat human pain medications.  Many of these can be toxic to your cat and will do more harm than good. Most cats receive pain medication during surgery, which can take up to 24 hours to wear off. When you bring your cat home immediately after her surgery, she probably won’t be too hungry.  You can give her about ⅛ cup of food and a ¼ cup of water right away.  If she eats and drinks it, and she’s able to keep it down, you can provide her with more food and water.  Do not provide your cat with unlimited food and water immediately after her surgery.  Even if she’s hungry, too much food and water may cause stomach upset. If you cat doesn’t eat or drink the night after her surgery, there’s nothing to be concerned about.  Contact your veterinarian if you cat doesn’t start eating again the day after her surgery. After your cat has been spayed, she may not feel very good and she will most likely want to crawl into a corner and ignore the world.  In order to allow her to do this comfortably, give her a quiet space in your home all to herself.  If you have more the one animal, you’ll want to make sure this location is blocked off so the other animals cannot disturb your recovering cat. Putting her alone in a bathroom or bedroom, with a comfy place to sleep, as well as litter, are two good places to consider. When the anesthetic is wearing off, your cat may shake or tremble a little bit — this is perfectly normal and shouldn’t last more than 24 hours.  If you cat is still shaking or trembling after 24 hours, contact your veterinarian. A spay surgery shouldn’t have any long-term negative effects on your cat.  If you cat shows any of the following symptoms, it can be a sign of a complication which will need to be checked by a veterinarian.  If your cat is acting lethargic or is sleeping a lot more than usual. If your cat cat isn’t eating or drinking very much. If your cat is suffering from diarrhea or is vomiting a lot.
