Q: Epaulettes cover the tops of your shoulders, but they come in many different shapes and sizes. Some look like semicircles, while others look like rectangles. Some look like skinny rectangles, with a rounded end that covers your shoulder caps. The edge that faces your neck will always be straight. The epaulette needs to be wide enough to cover the top of your shoulder, from front to back. The length is up to you. It can span from the base of your neck all the way to your shoulder cap, or it can be just long enough to cover your shoulder cap. After you cut the template out, fold it in half lengthwise, then cut off any excess paper that hangs over the edges. This will help make it symmetrical. These will go inside your epaulette and make it nice and stiff. Trace around the template first, then cut the cardboard out with scissors or a craft blade.  If you don't have thin cardboard, you can use a thin sheet of template plastic instead. You can find this in the quilting section of a fabric store. Do not use your fabric scissors for this, or you will ruin them. Choose some nice fabric for the tops of your epaulettes, then flip it over so that you can see the back. Use your paper template or cardboard insert to trace the shape onto the fabric.  You need to do this twice to create 2 identical shapes. Choose a nice fabric for this, such as velvet, twill, or pleather. Avoid thick or overly decorated fabrics, such as wool felt, upholster, or home décor brocade. If you need to, use a ruler to help you trace a 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) seam allowance around the epaulettes first. Next, cut the epaulettes out with fabric scissors. Use the template or cardboard to trace the shapes onto the fabric that you want to use for the bottom of the epaulettes. Cut the shapes out, adding a 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) seam allowance.  Since these pieces will be on the underside of the epaulettes, you can use a cheaper fabric for this, such as cotton. If you are using a different type of fabric for this side, make sure that the color matches the upper fabric. Measure around your cardboard epaulette, except for the straight edge that faces your neck. Cut 2 pieces of tassel trim according to this measurement.  The color of the trim is up to you. If this is for a uniform, however, the trim should match the trim on your uniform. You can find tassel trims in both the regular trim section and the upholstery trim section of a fabric store.
A: Decide on the shape of your epaulette. Create a template on a sheet of paper based on your design. Use your template to trace and cut 2 shapes from thin cardboard. Trace the epaulettes onto your desired fabric. Cut the epaulettes out, adding a 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) seam. Repeat the process for the bottom fabric pieces. Cut some tassel trim to fit the outside edge of your epaulette.

Q: You can also shred the crab meat if you prefer that texture. Just make sure that you don’t leave the crab meat sitting for more than a few minutes, or it might begin to spoil. Refrigerate the crab meat if you need time to prepare your other ingredients. Use a strong fork or hand mixer to mix the ingredients together. Refrigerate the mixture if you will not be using it right away. Make sure that all of the crab meat is coated with the cream cheese mixture. If you plan to add in any extras, now is a good time to do that. Cold crab dip tastes best when it is very cold, so you will need to keep your crab dip in the refrigerator for at least an hour. To have your crab dip ready when you are, make it the night before and refrigerate it overnight. To ensure that your crab dip is well combined and has a nice consistency, give it a quick stir before serving. Serve your crab dip with bread, tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.
A: Chop the crab meat into small, diced pieces and set aside. Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, milk, salt, and garlic power in a large bowl. Add the crab meat to the cream cheese mixture and combine well. Refrigerate the crab dip for about one hour. Mix the ingredients again and serve.

Q: When used daily, this ointment (usually used to treat coughing) can be effective in reducing the symptoms of an infection. Apply a small amount with cotton swab. Keeping your nails short reduces pressure on your toe or finger, relieving pain. Trimming can become difficult when infected nails become thick and hard, however, so you may need to soften them first. Buy a non-prescription lotion containing urea, which can thin and break down the diseased part of the nail plate.  Before bed, cover the infected nail with the lotion and wrap it in a bandage. In the morning, rinse your feet with soap and water to remove the cream. The nails should soon begin to soften enough for you to file or cut them. Look for a 40% urea lotion. There are many non-prescription options you may want to try before visiting a doctor. First, file off any white markings on the infected nail, then soak it in water for several minutes. Dry your nails before applying the cream with a cotton swab. Using a cotton swab or other disposable applicator will help prevent the fungus from spreading. Touch the affected area as little as possible. In one study, this plant extract was similarly effective as a prescription antifungal cream. Treatment lasts about three months.  Use every three days for the first month. Use twice a week for the second month. Use once a week for the third month.
A: Apply Vick's VapoRub rub to the nail. Soften and trim your nails. Buy an antifungal cream or ointment. Use snakeroot extract.

Q: You will need a go-kart frame that is capable of housing the size and weight of your engine. Most 5 to 7 horsepower engines will fit a standard size kart. The vertical shaft engine you choose can be from a riding mower or a push mower, either will work for your go-kart. Larger engines in the 13 to 22 horsepower range, which you can find on riding mowers, may destroy the transmission or kart. You will want one that can support both your vertical shaft engine and lawnmower gearbox comfortably. Your gearbox should will need to have non-trans axle set-up. This will give you a better sense of the dimensions that will be comfortable for your frame. Most frames have a width that varies between 1/3 and 2/3's the wheelbase of your go-kart, with wider models giving better stability.
A:
Measure the size of your engine. Pick a suitable go-kart frame. Draw out a true to size basic design of your frame with chalk.
