Problem: Article: If you’re using a gas grill, turn the temperature knob to the appropriate setting and press the starter button to ignite the burner. For traditional charcoal grills, heap the coals near the center until they’re about 3 inches (7.6 cm) below the grate, add a splash of lighter fluid, and use a match or lighter to get them going. In either case, you want the heat to be steady, even, and direct.  Wait until the grill is nice and hot before adding the steaks.  Go easy on the lighter fluid. It has a tendency to taint the finished flavor of the meat. Give the grill about 10 minutes to heat up, then arrange the steaks around the center of the cooking surface where the burners or coals are hottest. Space them out evenly so that there’s 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) between each. Giving the steaks some room to breathe makes for optimal heat distribution and prevents sticking. The exact amount of time they’ll require may vary somewhat depending on their size and how you like them cooked. Watch for the outside of the meat to take on a juicy reddish-brown color and pronounced grill marks—these are the signs of a superbly-cooked steak.  At this stage, the best thing you can do for the steaks is leave them alone. Keep a close eye on the steaks to avoid burning them. After the first 4-5 minutes, turn the steaks over and give them another 3-4 minutes. They won’t need as long on the opposite side, since they’ll pretty much be heated through already. You just want to sear them long enough to give them a matching set of grill marks.  Use a pair of tongs to flip, not a fork. Stabbing the meat will cause all the good juices to flow out and rob it of flavor.  If you want, you can also turn the steaks half a rotation midway through grilling on both sides to create an eye-catching crosshatched pattern with the grill marks.
Summary: Warm up the grill to medium-high heat. Lay the steaks out across the grate. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the steaks and allow them to finish cooking.

Problem: Article: Turn the valves that are located underneath the kitchen sink to shut off the hot and cold water. If you can’t find them, you can also turn off the main water line to your entire home. Then, flip the switch in your breaker box that provides your kitchen’s electricity. First, remove the garbage disposal and drain tap, and stuff a shop cloth into the pipe to keep foul odors out. Then disconnect the hot and cold water supply lines from your faucet.  Use a screwdriver to take off the sink brackets located underneath the sink. Then, stand over the sink and get your fingers underneath the outside of the lip of the sink and pull it up and out.  If you have a friend that can help you, one person can loosen the brackets underneath and the other can pull the sink out from above. If your sink has a bead of caulk holding it in place, push it up from the bottom and cut the silicone with a utility knife. Use a pry bar, a hammer, and a putty knife to remove the backsplash and any caulking or glue that’s holding the counter in place. Run your knife where the backsplash meets the wall so there’s minimal wall damage. Use a screwdriver to unscrew any screws that are attaching the current countertops to the cabinets underneath. Then, gently pull off your countertops from the front one at a time, starting with the smallest piece. Imagine prying off your countertops the same way you’d open a car hood. That way, the back will be loose and easy to remove.
Summary: Shut off the plumbing and electricity in your kitchen. Remove the sink. Pull the old countertop off.

Problem: Article: There are pros and cons to both. There are lots of dogs in shelters that need homes. These dogs can be great companions but they are less likely to be pure bred dogs. One perk of getting a puppy from a breeder is that you get to mold it into a mature adult. If you are committed to thoroughly training a dog, a puppy may be ideal. Never, ever buy a puppy from a puppy mill. A cardinal signs of a puppy mill is the breeder makes an excuse as to why the mother dog is not available to view. This is because in reality the mother dogs is probably hundreds of miles away, waiting to be bred to produce yet more puppies. In the meantime her litter are taken away far too young and transported large distances to places for sale. This trade is unethical and immoral, and should not be encouraged by buying these puppies and creating a demand. A good breeder will make sure to socialize his or her dogs in order to guarantee they grow into confident well-adjusted adult dogs. This is especially important for the Doberman, who can be prone to anxiety or territorial behavior. Proper socialization as a puppy helps make the youngster accepting of strangers, rather than suspicious of them. This makes it less anxious and therefore better adjusted to life with people. The breeder should make efforts for as many different people as possible to meet the puppies from around 3 - 4 weeks of age, so the young dogs are used to people of different heights, appearances, and tones of voice. The puppies should not be exclusively reared in a kennel as this isolates them from the normal sights, sounds, and activities of a domestic house, and they will find it more difficult to adjust to family life. The Doberman is prone to a number of genetic health problems, some of which the parents can be tested for and some not. For example, Dobermans are prone to hip dysplasia and Von Willebrand's disease. Responsible breeders will screen the parent dogs for hip dysplasia and have certification to show what their score is (the lower the better.)  A low hip score is no guarantee the puppies won't have poor hip anatomy, but it reduces the risk of this happening. There is also a blood test for Von Willebrand's disease, so ideally it would be good to know the parents are negative.
Summary:
Decide between adopting an adult dog from a shelter or buying a puppy from a breeder. Choose your breeder carefully. Be aware how important socialization is. Check the family history of a dog you are considering adopting.
