Q: Draw a curvy triangle as shown. Sketch in guidelines. Sketch in a smile and a small half circle for the ears. Sketch in his scruffy hair. Add in thin arms and legs as well as hands and feet.   Don't forget to add in stripes to his shirt.
A: Start by sketching his head. Add in 2 ovals for his eyeballs and 2 circles for his eyes, don't forget his eyebrows. Draw a bottle shape for his body (he kind of slouches so let's adjust to that). Sketch in his shirt, shorts and sneakers. Outline him up and erase guidelines. Color him in.

Q: Make sure to have all of your materials at hand: beads, beading thread, wire cutter, crimp beads, super glue, and closures to properly finish your necklace.  The best kinds of wire are flexible beading wire and beading thread. All of these materials are easily available at your local craft store (Michael's or Joanne's, for example). When considering which style of necklace you'd like to create, think about factors such as length. If you like shorter necklaces you might consider making a collar or choker. If you like longer necklaces, you might want a lariat length (longer, usually down to your chest) necklace.  You can also make up your own style and length. These are simple suggestions to give you a rough idea. Note that the finished length of your beaded necklace includes the beads you've used and  the length of the jewelry clasp of your choice. The choker is the shortest necklace and amounts to roughly 13 inches total length. The collar is a little longer, and goes down to about 14 to 16 inches. A Lariat is the longest, coming in at about and over 45 inches. As mentioned above, you can also choose your own length and style. Take your tape measure, and loop it around your neck while looking at yourself in the mirror. Try small and big loops to see what you prefer. This will give you an idea of what your necklace might look like on your neck.
A: Gather your beading materials. Determine your necklace style. Select a length. Measure your neck, and then decide on a length.

Q: The more similar a person thinks they are to you, the more engaged they will be in the conversation. Try to draw parallels between the person you're talking to. For example, if someone says "This customer blamed me because their order didn't arrive, but it was the shipping company's fault," you can say something like, "Yeah, customers sometimes complain about things outside of my control too." You don't want to talk too much when you're schmoozing. Make sure that you give the person you're talking to enough space in the conversation to say things. A great way to do this is by asking questions that require a response. Think of the conversation as a series of opportunities to expand your relationship and don't obsess over saying the wrong thing.  For example, if someone is talking about a recent baseball game, you can say, "What do you think of the Mets performance so far this season?" If you're talking about a movie you've both seen recently you could say something like, "Yeah, Eli Roth's directing has really evolved over the last ten years. What's your favorite movie of his?" Don't just come out and say something like "You're the best!" Instead, frame your compliment as a question or statement. For example, you could say something like "How did you keep such a cool head yesterday with that customer?" or "I wasn't sure about your techniques at first, but now I see it's really the best way to do it." You can also compliment them by saying something like "I don't want to embarrass you, but your explanation of the classical dynamics of spinning tops is one of the best I've ever heard."
A: Look for similarities with you and the person you're talking to. Listen and ask questions. Give them genuine compliments.

Q: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and heat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Use aluminum foil to line a baking sheet and pour your entire bag of chips onto the foil, spreading for an even layer. Using aluminum foils helps with cleanup later. The foil also makes it easier to transfer your cooked nachos onto a separate dish. In a small saucepan over low heat, cook refried beans until they are loose enough to spoon onto nachos. Stir occasionally until beans are warm. Don't let the beans get so hot that they boil, this will cause them to dry out and get crusty. Scoop 2 cups of beans onto the layer of chips. Distribute as evenly as possible. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of diced green chilies on top if you prefer a spicy kick to your nachos. Use some shredded cheese or freshly grate it yourself and evenly distribute it over the top of your nachos. Use about 2 cups. The idea is to get all your chips covered in a thin layer of cheese. You can use more or less cheese if you prefer. Remove the baking sheet from the oven once your beans are hot and the cheese is melted. Be sure to use an oven mitt when removing the baking sheet. Scoop 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of guacamole on top of the nachos. Drop another spoonful of salsa or Pico de Gallo on top if you prefer. The beans and cheese can get very hot so you may need to let your nachos cool on the counter for a few minutes before eating. Serve warm with a beverage of your choice.
A:
Preheat the oven. Line a baking sheet. Warm your beans. Scoop warm beans onto your chips. Sprinkle cheese on top. Add the finishing touches. Enjoy!
