Q: If it's really slow-draining, this may take a while, but if you remove the water, your drain-clearing mixture will be able to unclog faster. You have several options for creating a non-commercial drain opener. Most involve vinegar and another substance that create a chemical reaction when combined. See if you have any of these drain-opening agents on hand:  Vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar work) is the acidic base for creating the foaming reaction. Lemon juice is acidic like vinegar, but smells refreshing. This makes lemon juice a good option for clearing out clogged kitchen sinks. Baking soda is frequently used as a multipurpose cleanser. Salt will help eat away at the clog. Borax is frequently used as a multipurpose cleanser. No mixing is needed before pouring down the drain. The mixture will foam up on its own as the chemical reaction occurs.  For a vinegar and baking soda combination: use 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of white vinegar. For a lemon juice and baking soda combination: use 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of lemon juice. For a salt, borax, and vinegar combination: use 1/4 cup of borax, 1/4 cup of salt, and 1/2 cup of vinegar.
A: Drain any water from the sink or tub. Gather household cleaning/kitchen items. Pour vinegar and another drain-opening agent down the drain.

Article: Cults are singular. If you're going to be a full-fledged member, or even a leader, in a cult of Star Trek, you can't be messing around watching other sci-fi, or doing things that aren't in line with the noble tenants of Trek. Make sure that you and everyone else in the group realigns your priorities to fall in line with the singular-minded concepts of the cult. Often, cults live together, communally. Consider moving into a place and giving it a name, something like, "The Enterprise." This will allow everyone to grow and develop the common idea together. One way to really get people to fall into your cult head-first is to make your idea seem like the only way of answering the problems of the world. You're not requiring simple excitement about Star Trek here, you're talking about total devotion to the transcendent power of James Kirk and Co. That means you've got to present it as the one true way. Often, this is where cults get a little manipulative. Try to have healthy discussions and debates, just be good at presenting your ideas to the group. If other people think Star Wars has equally good merits, you need to be well-versed on the anarchy associated with a Star Wars influenced worldview. Preach it and believe it. Keep doing what you do. How you choose to let your idea change your life and the lives of others for the better will largely depend on your concept. At what point does the cult become more serious than watching re-runs of Trek and eating Cheetos? When does positive change start to occur? Maybe you start writing all your congressmen to take the tenants of Star Trek more seriously, devoting resources and time to science and exploration, taking the equality of gender, race, species, and class more seriously, and even abandoning the ancient Earth concept of "greed." Let your group form obvious, local, and immediate changes for the good in your community. Hold weekly free breakfasts with accompanying Star Trek viewing parties, or consider holding equality workshops and giving talks in full Federation Starfleet regalia. Let people know what you're about. What will be your criteria and your process for taking in new members? How will your group expand and grow, without losing it's core identity and values? What will new members add? What will added publicity take away? What are your ultimate goals for the group? It's important to come to a consensus and take this ideas seriously. Keep a strong foot-hold rooted in the real world, and in your core beliefs, both. You need to make sure that groups like this don't transform into something more ominous and more destructive. Are all your behaviors lined up with the original tenants of the organization? How can you reclaim those core ideas?
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make sure all behavior lines up with the party platform. Refer to your concept as the only true idea. Practice your obsession. Do community outreach. Find ways to grow your group.

Problem: Article: Clean them with fresh water, just as you did in the oven drying method. Slice them along the indentation with a paring knife. Remove the pit and discard. Leave the skins on. You need to press the outside center until the flesh spreads out. Spread the apricots onto the racks with the flesh facing up. Make sure there is space between each piece of fruit for increased airflow. Set the dehydrator at 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius). Read your manual to determine if this is the low, medium or high setting on your dehydrator. Larger apricot halves will take longer. Place them in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. They will last several months.
Summary: Choose your ripe apricots. Pit the apricots. Separate the halves and turn them inside out. Remove your dehydrator racks. Replace the racks. Wait approximately 12 hours or until the timer goes off. Store dried apricots in sealed glass canning jars.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: and proofread. If you have a spell-check feature, use it. Some programs, such as Microsoft Word, also include a grammar check that you should use.

SUMMARY: Spell-check Read your letter aloud to hear how it reads.
