Problem: Article: A good way to introduce yourself into the world of acting is by reading books written by actors or acting teachers. You can learn about acting techniques and methods, how auditions are conducted, or what the best ways to get started are. Good books to start with might be Sanford Meisner on Acting written by Sanford Meisner and Dennis Longwell, or The Art Of Acting by Stella Adler. These books will help you learn about what to expect as an actor. While acting classes are a great place for actors to start, you can learn so much from watching classic films. Each film can teach you a different acting skill such as instinct, character development, stage directing, blocking, and physicality. These are just some of the essential tools and skills you will need to learn as an actor, and a great way to begin learning them is by watching professionals practice them. Here are some famous actors showcasing their talent in well-known movies:  Quvenzhané Wallis in Beasts of the Southern Wild  Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther  Johnny Cash in Walk the Line  Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada Acting is very time consuming, and if you seriously want to start your career in acting, you will need to dedicate more time to it than just the weekends. If you currently have a job with demanding hours, you may want to consider getting a job with fewer hours, or a more flexible schedule. Many aspiring actors find jobs in the restaurant industry either serving or bartending. It is a great way to earn good money while allowing you the opportunity to switch shifts with another employee if you have a last minute audition, or only work during times that still allow you to go out for auditions. Many aspiring actors are surprised at how time consuming it is to constantly go out on auditions, memorize lines, and develop their acting career. Once you realize how much time you need to dedicate toward acting, you may want to cut back at work, or be tempted to leave your job altogether to focus on acting. Before you make any drastic decisions about your job, make sure you have a hefty savings account to fall back on. You do not want to find yourself looking for acting work, and not able to pay your bills. With a little searching around online, you can find acting schools near you that offer a wide range of classes. Before joining the first class you come across, do some research about the school and teachers to make sure they can offer you what you are looking for. It is important to take classes that teach you the basics of acting, so that you can develop a strong foundation to build from. Look for classes that teach you how to break down a script, create a truthful character, and show you how to have a strong and flexible body and voice. This will allow you to find out what it is really like to go out on auditions, and pursue a career in acting. Speaking with both working actors, and those who have been struggling to find work, may be enlightening, and help to mentally prepare you for what is to come. You may also learn tips and get great advice from people who have already been down the road you are just beginning. Here are some questions you may want to ask:  "What does a typical day look like for someone who is pursuing acting?" "How many times have you been rejected from an audition?" "How many auditions do you go on a week?" "How much money do I need to get started?" "Do you have any advice for someone who is just starting off"? There are many different types of acting jobs available, and deciding which type you want will narrow your focus and help you find what you are looking for. Here are some different fields of acting to think about:  Film, TV on prime-time, or soap operas Television hosting Commercials Theatre
Summary: Read books on acting. Study great performances. Consider your schedule. Be financially prepared. Join acting classes and workshops. Talk to other actors. Decide what type of acting you want to pursue.

Problem: Article: You can find your car's VIN in several places. In addition to appearing in the manual and on several important documents, the VIN is also printed on a sticker and adhered to various parts of the car. Check the door jamb on the driver's side, the front of the engine block, underneath the spare tire, and the rear wheel well. A number of online services offer free basic VHRs. If you intend eventually to purchase a VHR, run your free report with a trusted and reputable service, such as AutoCheck . AutoCheck (as well as CarFax) are trusted auto data providers that car dealers and auto auctions use. This will allow you to assess the company and become familiar with the site's interface before purchasing a complete VHR. Several dealerships will list a used car with a link to a free CARFAX VHR report. You may also search for used cars on CARFAX's website. Each listing comes with a free CARFAX VHR. When running a free VHR, you will need to enter the VIN. You may also need to provide a zip code, license plate number, or the state in which the car is registered. After providing all of the requested information and accepting any terms and conditions, click “Submit” or “Run.” The site will automatically load your free VHR. A complete VHR will separate information into the following sections: vehicle history and report summary, value calculator, ownership history, title history, additional history, and detailed history. A free report will contain components of each section, but the information will not include as many details. Since the free VHR is vague, it may also be harder to interpret.
Summary: Find your car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select a service. Enter the required information and run the report.

Problem: Article: After you have selected the appropriate attachment for the job, attach the piece to your deburring tool. You may need to consult your user’s manual to determine how to attach the piece. Make sure that the attachment is locked securely in place before you switch it on. While some larger objects might stay put on their own, it will be difficult (and unsafe) to deburr a smaller item that is not secured in place. For example, a piece of furniture may not need to be secured, but a piece of wood or a pipe will need to be secured in place. Try using a vice to secure smaller items and prevent them from moving around as you deburr them. Next, pick up your deburring tool and hold it firmly by the handle. Then, switch on your deburring tool when you are ready to use it. You may want to start out by using the lowest setting and then increase the speed if necessary. Hold the tool so that it is right up against the edge you wish to deburr. For example, if you are deburring the edge of a piece of wood, then place the tool right up against the edge. You do not need to press hard to deburr the item, just ensure that the tool makes contact with the edge of the object you are deburring. To ensure that the edge is completely deburred, it may be necessary to go over it with the deburring tool two or three times. Start at one end and move all the way to the end, or select a starting point if you are deburring a circular item.  If you are deburring a pipe or other circular area, then you may just have to let the deburring tool rotate two or three times. If you are deburring an edge, then you will need to drag the tool back and forth across the area two or three times. After you have finished deburring the item, remove the tool and turn it off. Then, check the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that you got all of the larger burrs.  If there are still some burrs left, then you can always go over it again. You can also sand the edges of the area you just deburred to ensure that it is nice and smooth. Use a fine grit sandpaper to sand away any minor imperfections.
Summary:
Secure your attachment. Make sure that the object you are deburring is locked in place. Turn on the deburring tool. Place the deburring tool against the edge. Go over the area two or three times. Check the edges to ensure all burrs have been removed.
