Summarize the following:
This is the beginning stance for the "T-Step." Lift it about half a foot (15 cm) off the ground, by lifting your knee up and inward while your calf and foot extend away from your body. As you lift your right foot, your left foot should shuffle inward, so your toes are pointing inward instead of outward. This should happen at the same time as you lift your right foot. Point your right foot down and outward, just until your toes or ball of your foot touches the ground. This is a fast motion, so you don't have to firmly plant your foot on the ground. As you point your right foot back down, shuffle your left foot outward so that your toes are pointing outward. Practice combining the movements of your right foot and your left. Keep moving to the right, in the direction of your pointed foot, as you lift and lower your right foot while you shuffle your left foot inward and outward. Once you master this technique, your right foot should lift exactly when your left foot turns inward, and your right foot should point downward when your left foot turns outward. Once you've taken at least five steps to the right, you can switch to the left side. As your right foot hits the ground one last time, switch it to your "shuffling" foot, and begin to lift and lower your left foot as your right foot shuffles inward and outward to the left. After you've taken at least five steps to the left, switch back to the right, and keep on going until you've mastered the shuffle -- or if you just need a water break. Though the "T-Step" is all about the footwork, you can let your arms fall a bit away from your sides, moving in when your knee goes in, and moving out when your knee goes out.

summary: Stand with your feet about 1 foot (0.3 meters) apart. Lift your right foot and shuffle your left foot inward. Point your right foot back down as you shuffle your left foot outward. Take at last five steps to the right. Move to the left. Continue shuffling sideways.

You will want to keep some crucial items with you at all times as it's not really convenient to run back and forth to the car or tent (if you have one). You can keep your hands free to snap pictures and items safe while dancing by carrying a backpack. You won’t need a huge one, just something small for the essentials. Bring along an extra cell phone battery and/or charger, chapstick, water canister and ID. If you'll be attending a daytime rave, it would be a good idea to put a hat on  to protect your dome from harsh sun rays. As long as it’s cool and helps shield your face and head from the sun, you're in good shape. Even if it's a nighttime rave a sweet baseball cap will be fashionable.  Cowboy or trucker hats will do the trick as well. Think outside the box here as well. This is the perfect time to wear that wild wig you’ve had in the closet. Just imagine partying all night long and waking up without sunglasses. Ouch. Not only will they protect your eyes from the blinding sun, they are cool. Choose inexpensive ones in case you lose them. You don’t have to save them for the following morning. These can really set your outfit off during the day too so pick ones with a fun colored frame and reflective lenses.

summary: Take a backpack. Wear a hat. Don’t forget sunglasses.

Many ear infections will go away without antibiotics within about two days. Using this approach reduces the likelihood of developing strains that are resistant to antibiotics. But it is best to take your child to the doctor when you first suspect an ear infection, to be sure that it is an ear infection. Your doctor may recommend waiting if:  Your child is older than six months and under two years old, has mild discomfort in one ear for less than two days, and a temperature below 102 °F (38.9 °C). Your child is two years old or older, has mild discomfort in one or both ears for less than two days, and a temperature below 102 °F (38.9 °C). Ear aches can cause significant discomfort and some of these techniques may lessen your child’s pain and help him sleep at night. You can try:  Warmth. Put a warm, damp washcloth over the infected ear.  This may reduce your child’s discomfort. Pain medication, if your doctor approves it. Ask your doctor whether you should give your child over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol and others) or Ibuprofen (Motrin IB, Advil, and others). Do not give aspirin to children or teenagers because it may be associated with Reye’s syndrome. Antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, cefdinir, or augmentin may help clear up a severe bacterial ear infection. They will not be effective against a viral ear infection. If your child does receive antibiotics, be sure to give her the entire course as prescribed, even if your child feels better right away. This will help prevent resistant strains from evolving. Your doctor is particularly likely to recommend antibiotics in the following circumstances:  A temperature greater than 102 °F (38.9 °C) Moderate or severe pain in one or both ears An infection that has lasted two days or more Fluid buildup and ear infections can cause long-term damage and hearing loss if not alleviated. If your child has had more than three ear infections in six months, four infections in a year, or fluid that does not go away after infection is gone, your doctor may suggest ear tubes.  The doctor makes a small hole in the eardrum and sucks the fluid out of the ear. A small tube is put in the hole to enable air to flow to the middle ear and future fluid buildup to drain. Depending upon the type of tube used, they will either come out on their own after six to 12 months or they will be surgically removed when the doctor feels they are no longer needed. The eardrum will heal after the tubes are removed. The procedure is be done under general anesthesia. It takes about 15 minutes and is an outpatient procedure. It can be very difficult for parents to wait to see if the infection will go away when their child is in pain and crying. But avoid the temptation of trying home remedies that are unlikely to help. If you do decide to try an alternative treatment, always talk to your doctor before you do. Some may have side effects or interfere with other medications. Do not attempt alternative remedies without first consulting your doctor. Some common ones include:  Homeopathic remedies of herbs or minerals. These supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration the way other foods and medical products are. This means that the dosage and ingredient mixtures are often unreliable. It is better not to use these products on a sick child. Chiropractic treatments. Scientific studies have not found this to be effective. Chiropraxis can also be dangerous if your child’s skeleton is manipulated in a way that causes injury. Xylitol. This may prevent, but not treat ear infections. However, the dosages that are required often cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. The Mayo Clinic advises against this option. Probiotics. These are available as oral medications and sprays, however scientific studies have produced mixed results.
summary: Give it time to heal on its own if your doctor recommends that. Use home therapies to manage your child’s discomfort. Try antibiotics. Discuss ear tubes with the doctor. Avoid ineffective or dangerous remedies.
