Different varieties of peppers take different amounts of time to grow, so check your pepper species to find out. Hot peppers take the longest - about 12 weeks until maturity - while bell peppers take about 8 weeks to reach maturity.  Peppers don’t grow in cold or frosty soil, so wait to plant them until the weather has warmed enough. Plant peppers outside at least one month after your last day of frost for the best temperature of soil. You can look up the last frost date in your area on the Internet or in a farmers’ almanac Choose a date that you feel matches the temperature requirements of outdoor soil for you peppers, and count back 8-10 weeks from that date; this is when you will start your seedlings. Memorial day is typically a good time to plant peppers, meaning that you start your seeds in early March. Soaking your seeds can help to break down the seed covering and expedite the growing process of the peppers. Place the seeds in a cup of water and leave them for 2-8 hours, or until the sink to the bottom of the cup.  Make a cup of weak chamomile tea to disinfect the seeds and break down the seed coats. Mix two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide with a cup of lukewarm water to soak the seeds in if chamomile tea is unavailable. They will only stay in this tray until they’re ready to plant, so don’t worry about using anything too nice or fancy.  Use a store-bought seed tray for the easiest place to sow your seeds, or make your own using an old plastic or cardboard milk jug with holes poked in the bottom.  Fill the bottom of the seed tray with pebbles or small rocks and then cover with potting soil. Plant seeds half an inch apart just under the surface of the soil, and water well. Once each seedling has two pairs of true leaves, transplant them from their starter trays into 2-4 in. (5-10 cm) pots with potting soil. Keep the plants under light until they grow 4-6 in. (10-15 cm) tall. True leaves are the leaves you see on full-sized pepper plants, large and pointy, as opposed the the rounded cotyledons that sprout from the seedling first. Pepper plants are delicate and need to be gradually exposed to a colder outdoor environment before they are transplanted entirely.  About two weeks before you plan to transfer your plants outdoors, you need to gradually expose the plants to the outdoor climate. Start by placing your seedlings outdoors for a few hours each day, in an area protected from direct sunlight and wind. Slowly extend the number of hours the plants stay outside as they continue to grow. Avoid leaving the peppers outside overnight until you’re almost done hardening them off. When the peppers have grown at least 4-6 in (10-15 cm) tall, they are large enough to be planted outside.

summary: Find the right time to grow. Soak your seeds. Sow your seeds in a seed tray. Move your seedlings into new pots when they start growing leaves. Harden off your seedlings when they are 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) tall. Prepare your seedlings to plant outdoors.

Begin the chant by reciting the words aloud in a clear, strong voice. By both speaking and hearing the words, you awaken your conscious mind to the meaning of those words.  To further guide your conscious mind, you can also play a recording of the chant for a few minutes and chant along with it. Doing so is only optional, though. Chant at a normal volume or a slightly louder than normal volume when you start. The louder your own voice resonates within you, the easier it will be to drown out all unrelated thoughts and feelings. Gradually decrease the volume of your voice. Soften it to a whisper before closing your mouth altogether and reciting the words only in your mind.  Once your conscious thoughts are focused on the chant, reduce your volume to a whisper. This action brings your chant to a subconscious level. As you whisper, you should eventually feel the words and rhythm of the chant vibrate throughout your mind. At that point, remain outwardly silent and continue chanting inside your mind. Imagine fixating your chant at a place in between your eyebrows. At this point, you have drawn the chant into your super conscious, elevating it to a spiritual discipline. As your volume decreases, the speed at which you recite the lines should gradually increase. After reciting the chant at a rapid speed for a short period of time, gradually decrease the speed back to normal again. Varying the speed of your chants can refresh and refocus your mind when it begins to stray. By changing the pace of your words, you must pay closer attention to the words themselves. When you are reciting a repetitive prayer or mantra, keeping count of the number of recitations can also keep you focused. One of the easiest, most common ways to keep count is to use some form of prayer or chant beads.   Mala, or Japa-Mala, are strings of beads used to count Sanskrit mantras. These beads allow you to count your prayers in sets of 108 repetitions. A Rosary is a similar set of prayer beads used by Roman Catholics. Each element of the Rosary has a certain fixed prayer assigned to it, however, so you'll need to know which prayers go with each piece. The goal is to coordinate your chants with your natural breathing pattern. Each time you begin your chant, you should try to do so on an inhale. There is a theory that thoughts and stimuli from the external environment enter the internal mind as a person inhales. By focusing on your chant each time you breathe in, you can reduce the effect of these external distractions. If you are chanting for spiritual or worship purposes, a good way to remind yourself of the purpose for your chants is to speak an occasional prayer for guidance and focus throughout the chanting period.  The prayer you interject with should be from the heart, rather than one that you have memorized. You can pray for focus and guidance by saying something like, "God, please help me to concentrate on the words and meaning behind these words as I chant." You could also try a prayer of gratitude, like, "God, thank you for speaking to me through the practice of chanting."

summary: Chant aloud. Decrease the volume. Vary the speed. Keep count. Chant in rhythm with your breathing. Interject the occasional prayer.

Find a good 50x50 icon by searching dA or an image hosting service. If you have the means, which you should if you don't have a monstrously old computer without paint, you can make your own. You can crop an image, original or not, and save it as a .gif preferably (especially if it's animated), or as a .png if it contains a lot of transparencies. When you log in, go to your settings which can be found in the tool bar. While there, you can also change your "signature", which will show up whenever you make a comment on someone else's work. Look around at popular pieces of art and look at the sayings under people's comments to get some ideas, though you should just do something original. Signatures can get old and show that you would just rather sway with the crowd than be creative. Begin a journal also. If you have something interesting to say, say it. Many people like to know "the-day-in-the-life-of" and it certainly helps gain views when you have some fans.
