INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do you want to sing to an audience or with a few friends? Specialized karaoke bars exist and let you rent private rooms or sing to patrons for a small charge per song. Otherwise, many other businesses offer karaoke nights. Check with restaurants, bars, community centers, and other locations for advertisements stating when they allow performances. You may want to go ahead and sit in on a karaoke night first, especially if you’re nervous. This will allow you to become familiar with the atmosphere and the particular crowd at the venue. The karaoke DJ will most likely have a catalogue of songs for you to choose from. They may also have more recent songs they have yet to list in their binder. A good karaoke song is one that you know all the words to and be able to sing effectively. You should never be stuck humming parts, waiting for long instrumental breaks, repeating phrases often, or singing in a monotone.  Listen to songs on sites such as Ameritz and Sunfly before you go. Many of the songs will sound different on stage because they have different arrangements for karaoke.  Consider if you can sing the song as well. You don’t need to have professional vocals, but you should be energetic. Choose a song with vocals that match yours, such as one that has more talk-singing instead of wailing if your singing voice will sound soft. Take a look at the people who will be listening to your performance. In karaoke, you’re performing for them, so to keep the night fun, choose a song that keeps the energy level high in the room. Don’t choose a long, slow ballad at the end of the night, for example, or show tunes in a standard bar where most people won’t appreciate these songs. Remember that you can change your song up until your performance, so monitor the mood around you. Many places have you write your name and song choice on a slip of paper. Figure out how to sign up for karaoke so that the DJ can call you up to the stage and queue your song. Watch how other people sign up or ask someone during songs.

SUMMARY: Find a suitable location. Pick a song you know well. Choose a song appropriate for the venue. Submit your entry.

This is either the password you created for the router when you set it up, or the default router password that's on the back or bottom of the router unit. If you purchased your router and modem together, look for the password (also called a "network" or "security" key) on the back or bottom of the modem as well. As long as the password is correct, doing so will prompt your Android to reconnect to your wireless router.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don’t take the unclean pallet inside your home. Use a garden house or power washer to give the whole pallet an initial rinse. This should wash away any debris. Allow the pallet to dry. Reclaimed wood may contain insects, for example, that you wouldn’t want indoors. Try using a hammer, pry bar and cat’s paw to take apart the pallet without breaking it. If a pry bar doesn’t finish the job, a nail punch or drill can drive the nails out. Alternatively, you can cut through exposed nails with an oscillating tool, or cut through the planks themselves. Disassemble the pallet if you want to use the planks instead of the whole pallet in one piece. Place the pallet or planks between sawhorses. Rub the wood’s surface with the grain, starting with a coarse sandpaper and moving up to a fine grade. Sand the entire pallet so that it is smooth to the touch and won’t create splinter.  Make sure to sand your pallet outdoors, wearing safety goggles and a respirator to avoid dust issues.  If you opt not to sand the pallet, only use it somewhere that family and guests won’t touch it, since rough wood can cause splinter. In a bucket, combine five parts water to one part dish detergent. Alternatively, you can use a solution of one part detergent, ten parts bleach and twenty parts water. Use a scrub brush to scrub all of the wood with the solution. Scrub notches and grooves vigorously.  Wear old clothes and rubber gloves. If you’re using bleach, you should also wear safety goggles and a face mask. You may want to use bleach if you have a reason to suspect mold or mildew. Don’t combine bleach with any products that contain ammonia. Use a garden hose or power washer to rinse all the solution from the wood. Use the solution and your scrub brush to clean the wood a second time. Rinse the pallet a final time, then leave it in the sun until it’s dry.

SUMMARY: Hose the pallet outdoors. Disassemble the pallet, if desired. Sand the wood. Scrub the wood with a soap solution. Rinse the wood and scrub it again.
