Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep the carrots in the freezer for up to 10-12 months.

Answer: Although frozen, unblanched carrots can stay preserved for 10-12 months, their taste and texture may change over time. If possible, try to use the carrots within 1-2 months for the best flavor. Frozen carrots, blanched and unblanched, can last longer than 10-12 months but are more likely to develop freezer burn.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open the ink tray in the center of your printer. Remove any existing ink cartridges from the printer. Remove the new ink cartridge from the packaging. Insert your new ink cartridges. Close the ink cartridge door.

Answer: If you have a Canon printer which uses a FINE cartridge like in the MX or MG series, you will have a center paper output cover which is above your output tray. Open your ink tray in the center which is above the output tray.   Make sure that your printer is plugged in and turned on. In order for the ink compartments to slide into view, your printer must be powered on. The ink cartridges will slide to the right side of your open tray. This is the replacement position. In some Canon printers, such as the MX or MG Series which uses FINE ink cartridges, the cartridge holder moves to a replacement position behind the head cover. The head cover will open automatically.   If you have a Canon PIXMA printer which uses several, smaller ink cartridges, the cartridge holder will slide into the middle of your operations tray when you open the operation lid on top of the printer. If there are already ink cartridges in your printer, you will have to remove these old ones.  Press down on the ink cartridge you want to remove. The cartridge lock lever will click, dislodging the cartridge. Once you hear the click and see the existing ink cartridge popped out, pull it the rest of the way out. Take the new cartridge from its packaging and remove the protective tape.  Some Canon printers only use two cartridges, one black, and one tri-color, such as in the MX series. Others like the PIXMA use several cartridges, one for each color. All cartridges will have a protective film over the ink nozzle you need to remove. Remove the protective tab on the ink cartridge. This is a plastic film that covers the part of your cartridge which dispels the ink. Be careful not to touch the copper-colored area of the cartridge or the ink nozzles. touching this area can cause clogs, ink failure, or a disconnection if your fingerprints smudge the area. Do not shake your cartridges either. Gently slide the new cartridge into the ink slot.  Insert your cartridge into the slot with the ink nozzles facing away from you. The color cartridge(s) goes on the left side. The black cartridge on the right side. Make sure you hear a click to ensure the cartridge is locked into place. You should feel it click into place.  Once the door is closed properly you will hear the cartridges slide back into place. Finished.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sew the ends together. Fold over edge of top piece and sew. Create the bottom hem. Add baste stitch to bottom tier. Pin and sew the bottom tier to the middle tier. Create a baste stitch on top of middle tier. Pin and sew the middle tier to the top tier.

Answer: Fold over each of your fabric pieces so that the short ends are lined up and the right sides (print or color sides) are facing each other. Then, sew along the short edges to form each piece into a circle. If you prefer, you can wait to add a seam on the skirt until after you have sewed all of the tiers together. This may be a better option if you are planning to do more than three tiers. Take your top tier piece and fold over about ½” to 1” (depending on the width of your elastic) of fabric of one of the long edges so that the wrong sides (non-print or non-color sides) are facing each other. This will be the waistband of your skirt. Sew along this edge to create the waistband.  Make sure to leave enough space to add your elastic in later. Leave a small 1” to 2” gap in the seam to insert the elastic. It is easier to hem the bottom of your skirt before you start to gather your pieces and sew them together. Fold over about ½” of fabric of one of the long edges of the bottom piece (your largest tier). Then, sew along this edge to create the bottom hem. You will be sewing the tiers together, but first you need to gather them. You will start by gathering the bottom tier and sewing it onto the bottom of the middle tier. To gather the bottom tier, sew a baste stitch into the top of the bottom tier (not the edge that you just hemmed). If you want, you can sew a permanent stitch over the baste stitch when it is gathered to your liking. However, sewing the middle tier to the bottom tier will create this permanent stitch, so it is not absolutely necessary to stitch over the baste stitch. Line up the edges so that the right sides of your fabric are facing each other. Then, pin along these edges about ¼” to ½” inch from the edge of the fabric.  Be sure to line up the center seams on the bottom and middle tiers. If you did not create the center seam yet, then make sure that the ends are even. You can adjust the gathering before you start pinning the pieces together to make sure that the pieces are the same length. After you have pinned all the way around the pieces, sew the pieces together, removing the pins as you sew. Next, you will need to repeat the baste stitch on the top of your middle tier, but this time you will be gathering the fabric so that it is the same size as your top tier piece. Add your baste stitch and then adjust until the middle tier piece matches your top tier piece. After you have gathered the middle piece to match the top tier piece, begin pinning the wrong sides together. Pin all the way around the pieces and then sew the two pieces together.  Make sure that you line up the center seams on the middle and top tiers. Remove the pins as you sew. If you have more than three tiers, then you will need to continue to baste and stitch until you have added all of your tiers.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy replacement strings of the same gauge. Use wire cutters to snip off the ball end of the replacement string. Secure the new string at the bridge. Insert the other end of the string in the tuning post hole. Wrap the string around the tuning post. Adjust the bridge if you're changing to a different gauge of strings.

Answer:
If you don't know what gauge your old strings are, take your guitar into a music shop and have a tech look at them. If you look for your guitar on a string package, that only tells you that those strings are appropriate for your guitar. There's no guarantee those were the strings you had. If you want to use a different gauge, you'll need to replace all of your strings, not just the one that's broken. Changing the gauge of your strings will alter the balance between the nut and the bridge, which can destroy your guitar's intonation. Talk to a guitar repair expert before you attempt to do this on your own. The ball end of standard guitar strings won't fit in a Floyd Rose bridge. Cut off the ball end as well as the part of the string just above the ball that is tightly twisted. Make sure your cut is even and clean. If you're changing more than one string, only cut the ball end off of one string at a time. Since the ball ends are color-coded, this is the only way to know for sure which string is next (unless you're really familiar with the thickness of the strings). Insert the string into the saddle at the bridge, then tighten the bridge with your Allen wrench. If the small metal block fell out when you loosened the saddle, set it back into place before tightening the bridge. Take care not to over-tighten the bridge, or you could damage your guitar. If you counted turns when you loosened it, use the same number of turns to tighten it back up. Pull the string up the neck of your guitar, making sure it runs over the correct nut slot. Put the end through the post hole and kink the string over itself to lock it in place.  Line up your postholes with the nut, so you can slide the string straight through to the other side. Leave some slack so the string can wrap around the post several times. This will help keep the string from slipping. Using your string winder or your fingers, carefully turn the tuning peg to bring the string back to tension. Be careful not to wind it too tight, or the string may snap.  Each new wrap of the string should be below the previous wrap. This also helps keep your strings from slipping out of tune. Bring the string slightly up to tension, but don't try to tune it until you've checked the bridge. Open the back of your guitar with a Phillip's head screwdriver to access the bridge's springs. Slowly adjust the tension on the springs until the bridge is level again.  A heavier gauge string will cause your bridge to lean forward, while a lighter gauge string causes it to sink back. This can badly affect your guitar's playability. If the bridge is tilted forward, turn the claw screws clockwise to tighten the springs. If the bridge is tilted backward, turn the claw screws counterclockwise to loosen them. Turn the screwdriver a quarter-turn at a time, and then check to see whether it's even. You don't want to go too far in the opposite direction.
