Q: You can use a small digital recorder if you have one, or a recording app on your phone. Be sure to place it in an inconspicuous place that is still in a close proximity to the people you want to record. Be aware, however, that recording conversations in order to eavesdrop is illegal in some places and punishable by law. If eavesdropping is your favorite hobby, you might consider purchasing a tool that will allow you to overhear conversations easily.  A small device such as the Next Room Eavesdropping Device allows you to amplify conversations through walls and listen through headphones. Very few people have a home telephone now, but if you do live in a house that hasn't yet gone “cell-phone-only,” you can pick up another line and listen to the conversation. Make sure you don't breathe too hard or giggle, though! Eavesdropping doesn't always have to be done in person. You can of course check out conversations on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find out who is talking to whom and what they are saying.
A: Plant a recording device. Purchase a spy tool. Pick up the other line. Employ social media.

Q: To ensure that you’re purchasing pure tung oil, look for the words “100% tung oil” printed somewhere on the container’s packaging. You can find tung oil at a local paint store or hardware store.  1 quart (0.95 L) of tung oil or Waterlox will cover about 15 feet (4.6 m) of butcher block. If you’d rather apply a longer-lasting product than tung oil, you can seal the butcher block using a more substantial chemical sealant, like Waterlox. Both products are food-safe. Dip a clean, dry cotton cloth or rag into the container of tung oil or Waterlox. Then use the cloth to rub the sealant across the surface of the stained butcher block. Work in long, straight strokes that parallel the direction of the boards in the butcher block. Give the sealant a full 12 hours to dry. Sealing the butcher block is a time-consuming process. It will need several layers of tung oil or Waterlox. Use the same method for each layer: saturate a clean rag with sealant and then rub it along the surface of the butcher block. Use a clean cloth to remove any excess sealant. Ensure that each layer has at least 12 hours to dry before applying the subsequent layer. Avoid using the counter for 7 full days so the oil has enough time to fully soak into the wood. Once the week has passed, you can use your stained butcher block counters. You can still use your butcher block countertops before a full week passes. However, they’ll be oily and may stain your dishes or clothes. Tung oil wears off eventually, at which time it needs to be replaced. Every 4 months—or as soon as the surface of the butcher block begins to look faded—apply a layer of tung oil to the wood. The additional coats of oil won’t take a full week to dry. To be on the safe side, though, give each layer 3-4 days before using the countertops.
A: Purchase 100% tung oil from a local paint store. Apply a layer of tung oil to seal the stained butcher block. Apply 4 additional layers of tung oil to the butcher block. Give the tung oil a full week to dry. Put on a new layer of tung oil every 4 months.

Q: If your internet connection was working a few days ago, but isn't anymore, you may be able to fix the problem by performing a system restore. This will roll back your computer's settings to the date that you select. Any changes made to the system since the date will be undone. This means that programs that you've installed since the selected date will be removed, and settings will be reverted. A system restore will not affect your personal files. The fastest way to open it is to search for it, though the process varies a little depending on the version of Windows you are using:  Windows 10 and 8.1 - Click the Start button and type "recovery". This will load the Recovery window in the Control Panel. Select "Open System Restore". Windows 7 and Vista - Click the Start button and type "restore". Select "System Restore" from the list of results. Restore points are created automatically whenever a change is made to your system files, such as installing a program or driver. Windows will choose the most recent restore point automatically. To view all available restore points, check the "Show more restore points" box. Choose a restore point from a date when you know your wireless adapter was working. Since restoring will roll your computer back to the date you select, programs that have been changed in that time will be affected. Click the "Scan for affected programs" button to see what will be removed or added back to your computer during the restore. Remember, your personal files will not be affected. Once you've selected your restore point and confirmed that you want to restore, Windows reboot and roll back. This may take a few moments to complete. Once the restore is finished, Windows will load and you will be informed that the restore was successful. If there was a driver or software problem causing a problem with your wireless adapter, restoring to a point before the problem occured should fix it. If you still can't get your wireless adapter to turn on, you may have to get your computer repaired or replaced.
A: Know when to do this. Open the System Restore utility. Choose your restore point. Check to see what programs restoring will affect. Begin the restore process. Test your connection.

Q: You'll want to remove all glue, dirt and existing mortar before you start laying your new tile floor. The floor should be completely clean in order for maximum bonding between the tile and the thinset. TSP, or trisodium phosphate, is a great all-purpose cleaner if you need to use it. It cleans extremely effectively, but is no longer as widely used today as it was before because of environmental concerns. Most people decide to lay tile from the center of the room outward, which is important if you're dealing with even-sized tiles. This method will create a nice effect in the center of the room, but tiles in the edges of the room will need to be cut. You may decide to start tiling from another spot in the room, especially if you're using irregular-sized tiles. You may choose to have uncut tiles on the sides of the room and work from there if cabinets, sofas, or other furniture is covering tiles on one side of the room. This article will assume that you want to start from the center of the room and work outward. Make sure you do a dry layout with your tile and spacers directly on the cement board before you lay down the mortar. A dry layout will allow you to visualize the room as it might be when everything is finished. Experiment with different layouts until the right one catches your eye. Set up your chalk string in the center of each wall by measuring the wall and putting the string exactly in the middle. Leave the string in place after you snap it to use as a guide for your first few tiles. Lay down some floor tiles along one of the center lines to make sure you marked the center of the room properly. If you realize that your chalk lines aren't square, redo them now. When you're laying the tile, alternate which box you're pulling from to account for any variation in color among the boxes. If you're making a design or pattern with the tile, put the tiles in order so you know which ones you need at any specific time. If you end with a very small or very large space in comparison with the size of the tile you're using, move everything down so the extra space is about the width of a half a piece of tile and snap new chalk lines to use when placing the tiles. You don't want to have to cut your tile into small pieces to finish a row along the wall.
A:
If you need to, clean the existing floor thoroughly with a non-toxic floor cleaner. Decide where you want to start your tile. Find the center of the room by snapping a chalk line in the center of the room widthwise and lengthwise. Line up your boxes of tile and open each one.
