Article: If you're removing the sealant because it is old, there is a good chance there will be unattached bits that are falling away from the wood. Pull off any pieces that can easily be removed by hand. This will soften the caulk and make it easier to remove. Don't overheat the area too much as this can damage the finish on the wood. You can use a hair dryer instead of a hot air blower to soften the sealant. Position the blade at a low angle, so it doesn't damage the wood surface. The sealant will come off in large pieces. Use your hands or the tweezers to completely remove the chunks. Start by reading the directions on the caulk remover bottle. Then, apply the remover to the area you just scraped and wipe it off with a damp cloth.  Don't use too much moisture as this can also damage the wood. Before you begin, test the silicone sealant remove on a small section of the wood to ensure it will not damage or discolor it. This keeps the wood clean and free from harm. A clean surface is essential for applying primer, paint, stain, or varnish.

Problem: Article: As your garden grows, so will weeds. It's important to pull them out before they crowd out your vegetables and flowers. Be diligent and weed at least twice a week to prevent this from happening. Some plants are low maintenance, while others need consistent care throughout the growing season and beyond. Here are the factors you should take into consideration:  How often does the plant need to be watered? It usually tapers off after the first few weeks. How often does the plant need to be fertilized? Some need to be fertilized more than once during the growing season. Does the plant need to be pruned? Some plants grow healthier when extra stems, leaves and dead blossoms are removed. Does the plant need support? Some plants do much better with a trellis, stake, or cage to support their limbs as they grow heavy fruits. You may need to take measures to protect your garden from deer, birds, squirrels, and insects that enjoy eating plants. If you see holes in your plants or other signs that there's a problem, determine what type of creature is causing it and take appropriate measures.  Erecting a small fence can be an effective way to keep animals out. Natural insect deterrents often work quite well, and they keep your garden organic. Try planting at least 20% of your garden with flowers to attract beneficial predators that will eat the pests. Some plants also help repel insects, such as basil and geraniums.
Summary: Weed the garden. Care for the plants according to their needs. Keep animals and insects away.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mirrors can easily make a small space look larger -- we've all walked into a room that, upon first impression, was huge, but with a second glance, it was just our eyes being tricked. If you can, use a mirror that expands vertically. Sometimes it's not that simple, however. Mirrors work best by reflecting light -- so make sure they're facing light itself or a light-colored wall. Check to see what gets reflected in your mirror by standing in different points of the room. To really appreciate any room, the lighting has to be right, but this goes double in a small room. All curtains should be light and airy and able to be drawn back -- after all, natural light is best. To avoid the space taken up by lamps, go for wall sconces; you don't need an electrician anymore for that, either -- the new-fangled ones can be attached anywhere. If applicable, get light over pieces of artwork, too. Think in natural light (from windows), ceiling lights (preferably dimmable), sconces, and table lamps. If there are no dark corners in your room, you've succeeded. There are going to be things you need in the room that you may wish you didn't, so get creative when it comes to storing them. Invest in some cute cubes, boxes, or baskets. They'll be less distracting and keep the room from feeling overwhelming. Keep the knickknacks on your tables and mantle to a minimum. The less clutter in the room, the better you'll feel about being in it. Put away what you don't need and what doesn't heighten the ambience of the space. If your budget allows, design some light-colored cabinets or shelving you can build into the room. Not only will this draw the eye upward, but it gives the room character and function, too. And more storage for you! If you don't have the option to build in, get creative. Utilize space under pieces of furniture or put up a shelf or two. Buy an end table that can double as a bookcase and place hooks on the walls.

SUMMARY: Use mirrors. Layer your lights. Control clutter. Build in storage.

Sleep paralysis occurs when your body is starting to fall asleep, and causes you to be temporarily awake but unable to move. Recognize the first signs of sleep paralysis to avoid becoming frightened when it occurs. Sleep paralysis is unpleasant for most people, but it's actually a helpful jumping off point for lucid dreams, if used correctly.  Feel for buzzing, numbness, heaviness, or the sensation of falling. A feeling of heaviness or numbness moving up or across your body can also signal the onset of sleep paralysis. Listen for unpleasant or repetitive buzzing or droning. This tinnitus-like auditory hallucination may mean you are falling asleep.  You may hear words, such as your own name, inside yourself or very nearby. Try not to be startled. Welcome sleep paralysis as a platform for lucid dreaming. Embrace your awareness of your body's descent into sleep by noticing every stage. If you become frightened, remind yourself that it is sleep paralysis, and that you are falling asleep. It is common to hallucinate a presence during sleep paralysis, often a menacing or oppressive one.  Remind yourself that you are dreaming, nothing can hurt you, and you are in charge. If you are frightened, and embracing your dream isn't working, try gently wiggling your fingers or toes. Move from paralysis to lucid dream by moving dreamily. Instead of trying to move your limbs, which feel paralyzed, try instead to float out of your body, sink through your bed, or sit up out of your body. Alternately, tell the room around you to change. Say "Now I am transporting to the beach," or some scene you frequently dream.  If there is a presence in the room, tell them you are dreaming and you want to be taken to the dream.  Expect that they will take you, and they will.
