Problem: Article: You can make pumpkin puree out of any type of pumpkin, but for the most concentrated flavor (and the best for making pie), go for the smaller pumpkins that are intended to be used in recipes, rather than choose jack-o-lantern sized squash. Each pumpkin will yield a cup or so of puree.  Look for pumpkins with bright orange flesh, no big bruises or gouges, and a relatively uniform shape. Heirloom pumpkins often have striated colors like yellow and green in addition to orange. These make great puree, too, but the color may not be the classic bright orange you're used to. Avoid decorative baby pumpkins - these don't contain enough meat to make much pumpkin puree, and they aren't grown to be eaten. Run them under cold water and scrub away any dirt or other debris, especially if you got the pumpkins from your garden or a pumpkin patch. Start by chopping off the stems, leaving as much of the body intact as possible. Next slice the pumpkins in half, revealing their seeds. Use a large spoon to scoop all of the pumpkin seeds from the halves into a bowl. Save the seeds for later, since they're  delicious roasted. Scoop out as many of the orange strings as you can, too. Finish processing the pumpkins by slicing the halves into quarters. You should now have 8 (or more, if you're using more than 2 pumpkins) wedges of pumpkin to work with.
Summary: Get small pie or sugar pumpkins. Wash the pumpkins. Cut the pumpkins. Scoop out the seeds. Slice the halves into wedges.

Problem: Article: You will take Communion during Mass. Prepare yourself mentally during the Consecration of the Eucharist (when the host is changed into the body and blood of Christ) to participate in Communion. You can do this by giving your thanks, appreciation, and reverence to Jesus Christ through prayer. The priests and altar servers will prepare to give Communion by taking their customary places. Wait for the usher to guide your row to walk up. When leaving the pew there is no need to genuflect (to kneel and cross oneself). Wait in line and do not skip people. Depending on the church and your personal preference, you can either have the host fed to you or handed to you. In the Traditional Rite, the host is fed to you. Open your mouth and extend your tongue so that the host does not fall. The host will be placed on your tongue. Close your mouth and allow the host to dissolve on your tongue while thinking of the sacrifice made.  If you wish to have the host handed to you, hold out your hands, left on top of right. Do not take the host from the priest, but rather allow them to place it in your hand. When you approach the priest or Extraordinary Minister, he/she will proclaim "the Body of Christ,".  You proclaim your faith, both in word and in a gesture:  as you say "Amen."  (meaning I believe it!) you also bow as a way of showing your respect and faith. After receiving the host, you may choose to receive the Blood of Christ.  Take a small drink from the chalice that is offered to you. The person offering the cup will say “the Blood of Christ,” and you should respond (as above) with a bow and a proclamation of your faith: "Amen." The lip of the chalice is wiped off after each member receives the blood as a way to limit germs, but if you know you are contagious, refrain from receiving from the Cup. This is a time to reflect and thank Jesus for coming to you in the Holy Eucharist. Return to your pew and pray, until the priest is finished offering the Blessed Sacrament. Follow the lead of more established church members if you are unsure what to do.
Summary: Go to Mass. Approach the altar. Receive the host. Receive the Precious Blood. Walk back to your seat and kneel or stand (depending on the custom in your parish).

Problem: Article: Suits typically have a number that defines their chest measurement and length. This allows you to pick the jack that most closely matches your measurements. The most common jacket sizes for adults include:  38 jackets are for people with a 40 in. chest, 18 in. shoulder, and 24.5 in. sleeves. 40 jackets are for people with a 42 in. chest, 18.5 in. shoulder, and 25 in. sleeves. 42 jackets are for people with a 44 in. chest, 19 in. shoulder, and 25.5 in. sleeves. 44 jackets are for people with a 46 in. chest, 19 in. shoulder, and 26 in. sleeves. Coat length is based on height, so you should be able to know what size coat you’ll need if you know size of the dress shirts you get and your height.  A short is typically made for people under 5’7, with sleeves up to 32 in. A regular is for people between 5’8 and 5’11, with sleeves of 32-33 in. A long is for people between 6’0 and 6’2, with sleeves of 34-36 in. An extra-long is for people taller than 6’2, with sleeves longer than 36 in. When you try a jacket on, the armholes should be loose enough that you feel comfortable and have a full range of motion. In a new suit, you don't want to risk ripping the interior lining of the jacket because it's too snug. You may be able to get an improperly fitting jacket tailored. Coats shouldn't look bunched up across your back shoulders. They should create a smooth surface across your back and shoulders, with clean lines that flatter your build. If you have bunching, you may have a jacket that's too small, poorly stitched, or just the wrong size. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides to check and make sure the sleeves are of the appropriate length. The sleeve hem should hang down your knuckles, and reveal about a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of the shirt cuff when your arms are extended out in front of you. Trousers should be hemmed evenly with the heel of your shoe, gently breaking on the top of the shoe. They shouldn't drape too much or bunch, and should hang over the shoes gently. If the length is wrong, it’s very easy to get your pants hemmed by a tailor.
Summary: Learn how jackets are sized. Learn how coat length is determined. Make sure the armholes aren’t snug. Confirm that the coat is smooth across your back. Make sure the sleeves are the appropriate length. Check that the pants are the correct length.

Problem: Article: A player cannot receive an offside penalty for receiving the ball directly from a throw-in, a corner kick, or a goal kick. In these situations the ball has left play and reset all offside statuses. When the defending team takes control of the ball, the offside status of the attackers gets reset. Any attackers who were offside for the last play are now free to interfere with the play without penalty. However, there are some edge cases where it may be unclear whether this has happened. The ref always makes the final call, but these are the general guidelines:  If a defender accidentally deflects the ball or it rebounds off her, there is no offside reset. This includes an instinctive reaction to deflect the ball, although this can be a tough ref call. If the defender makes a save to prevent a goal, there is no offside reset. (This prevents offside players from gaining an advantage by waiting at the goal.) The defender must gain control of the ball before the offside player can interfere. (This can be subjective, but the offside player is usually safe if approaching from some distance away.) If a defender runs off the edge of the field due to his own momentum, he still counts as a defender when working out onside and offside positions. An offside player who does not approach the ball can still receive a penalty if she blocks the vision of a defender in a way that impairs her play. Since a rules tweak in 2013, this is the only way an offside player can receive a penalty without coming into contact with a defender or the ball. Gestures and shouting do not violate offside rules, though they may receive a penalty for unsporting conduct.
Summary:
Know the situations where an offside penalty is impossible. Understand offside resets. Take into account defenders who have run off the field. Consider offside players interfering from afar.
