Problem: Article: While it may seem tempting to watch the action of the game and focus on the players, this could cause you problems and make you vulnerable to the opposing team. This is because the puck can move quicker than individual players. Always keep your eyes on the puck itself so you can react quickly when the puck comes your way. This position will give you more balance and control. It also enables you to increase your reaction time if the puck comes in your defensive zone. Much like with how you position your feet, holding your skates parallel to each other will give you more balance. It will also give you the ability to gain more momentum if you need to move quickly to assist other defensive players or to get into position to block a shot. By standing this way, you’ll be able to move quickly if you need to readjust your position. In addition, this is a stance from which you can easily fall to the floor or slide to block a shot. By standing this way, you’ll put extra pressure on the balls of your feet. This will give you extra power and increase your ability to deflect hits when they come at you. Remember to point your chest slightly up to give you better forward balance. Position them just a little outside of your chest. To achieve the proper glove stance, you’ll have to push your elbows just a little outside of your body. This will not only give you better balance, but you’ll better be able to control your stick. Also always have your glove up in case of and unexpected shot because it will be hard from having your glove down to react quick enough to stop the shot Hold your stick vertically, but at a slight angle. This will help you better catch shots. Never place your stick perpendicular to your body. This not only decreases the chance of you blocking a shot, but could pose a danger to you in the event of a collision with another player.
Summary: Watch the puck, not the players. Stand with your feet a shoulder's width apart. Position your skates parallel to each other. Bend your ankles slightly and shift your weight to the outside balls of your feet. Bend your knees slightly. Hold your gloves out in front of your body. Place your stick about 10 inches (25 cm) in front of your skates.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may not need too much elbow grease to clean your brush if you do a little maintenance. Inspect your brush once a week to check for dried mascara clumps. Gently grip the bristles in the fold of a paper towel and wiggle it back and forth. This loosens the clumps and also spreads the bristles apart. Put very hot (but not boiling--it may melt the plastic) water in a cup and allow your wand to soak for about five minutes. The brush should begin releasing clumps of mascara and the water will turn cloudy and gray or black.  Pour out the dirty water and reuse the cup to continue cleaning your brush. If the mascara is waterproof or water resistant, use a cup of makeup remover instead of water. Pour isopropyl (or rubbing) alcohol into the cup and allow your mascara wand to soak. You should see more product dislodging from the brush. Soak for about one minute. If the brush still doesn't look clean, soak your brush for another minute and see if any more product is released. The little plastic handle on the end of your wand may have gunk built up from the sides of your mascara tube. Insert the end of a cotton swab and run it over the threaded part of the handle that screws into the mascara tube and seals it.  Dampen the swab with a little bit of water first. This will keep fibers from sticking to the tube. Removing the build-up from this part of the wand may help you get a better seal when you twist it closed on your mascara tube and may keep your mascara from drying out, giving it a longer life. Any lingering water or alcohol might dry out your mascara, so you want to make sure it's thoroughly dried. Use a paper towel to gently pat the bristles dry.  Let the brush air dry for 10 minutes after patting it dry. If you don't want your mascara to dry out in the meantime, cover the top with foil or plastic wrap. If your hands are clean, you can run your thumb over the bristles to feel if they are still wet. You may see little droplets of water fly off the brush if it is not completely dry, and you should continue to dab the brush with a paper towel.

SUMMARY: Wipe the clumps off your mascara wand with a paper towel. Soak your mascara wand in hot water to loosen dried product. Soak the brush in a cup of isopropyl alcohol to sanitize and remove any remaining mascara. Use a cotton swab to clean the area that threads into the tube. Dry the bristles completely before inserting the brush back into the tube.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No matter what type of man you are trying to attract, you should never pretend to be someone you are not. Instead, make the brightest parts of your personality shine in your interactions with the object of your desire. Your crush will be more likely to want to spend time with an honest, authentic person instead of someone who is trying to be someone they are not. Some astrologers think that Gemini men thrive on spontaneity. Rather than rigidly sticking to a detailed plan, learn to be more spontaneous as you interact with others. For example, instead of planning out a detailed date with a Gemini man, settle for a dinner-and-see-what-happens approach. Some people who believe in astrology think that Gemini men value partners that are self-sufficient and fully independent. If you are trying to attract a Gemini man, you might want to work on becoming more independent in your life. Try enjoying activities like watching a movie, traveling, or sampling the lunch fare at a new cafe on your own. Astrologers often label Gemini men as being extremely comfortable in social situations. Being social allows the Gemini man to discuss a wide variety of ideas and topics, as well as his own opinions. Try out new social situations to interact with and attract a Gemini man. Try attending an art gallery opening, joining a hiking club, or enjoying music at a local venue.
Summary:
Act like yourself. Be spontaneous. Practice independence. Experience new social situations.
