Q: Every state/country is different. Depending on your space, operating hours, and types of beverages sold, you’ll need a different license. Consult the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission’s website for the specific license you’ll need. In some areas, you simply have to fill out paperwork and pay a fee, but in other areas, inspections, detailed-lists of beverages being sold, and a projected ratio breakdown of food to alcohol sales are needed. In some areas like San Francisco, new liquor licenses are not distributed by the city; instead, you have to purchase a license from someone else — probably a competing bar owner. In this case, you have to buy another bar owner’s business in order to open your own. In order complete the transfer, you’ll need:  A “Consent of Transfer” form from the current owner 4 copies of your floor plans signed by you, the owner A signed lease or proof of ownership of the building where the license will be used Property tax clearance from your county treasurer Under ideal circumstances, your application may be approved or rejected in 8 to 10 weeks, but may take up to 12 weeks for processing if the local authorities are backed up.
A: Figure out what license you need. Purchase an existing license. Submit the paperwork.

Q: Go through the unloading process as usual, even if you believe the gun to be empty already.  With the gun pointing in a safe direction, turn it over and look for the elevator--a lever that moves up and down, located at the receiver. Use your dominant hand to hold the elevator in the up position. Use your non-dominant hand to simultaneously push back on the slide. Any round inside the magazine should naturally eject from the gun through the bottom of the receiver. Make sure that the bolt of the shotgun or the breech face of the gun is closed before you try to measure it.  The length of the barrel for this type of gun does not include the length of the entire barrel piece. Instead, the length is a measurement of the distance between the muzzle end of the barrel and the face of the bolt or breech face when that portion of the gun is closed. Close a bolt by pushing it forward and down. Close a non-bolt breech face by pushing the slide forward. Insert a dowel into the muzzle end of the barrel, pushing it down into the barrel until it stops against the bolt or breech face.  Use a dowel rod with a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the barrel. If the barrel has a permanent choke tube attached, include that in your length measurement. If it has a removable choke tube attached, remove the choke tube before sliding the dowel into the barrel and do not include the choke tube in your measurement. Draw a line on the dowel rod, placing it just above the muzzle of the gun.  You can use a pencil, pen, or marker to do this. Regardless of the instrument you use, keep the line as close to the muzzle as possible. If the gun is not already lying flat on a working surface, you should lay it down while marking the dowel rod. Doing so will likely make the process easier and safer. Slide the dowel back out of the barrel. Set it down in front of you on your work surface. Set the gun aside. Make sure that it is pointed in a safe direction. Measure the distance between the line on your dowel rod and the end of the dowel rod previously inside the shotgun barrel. This distance is the length of your gun barrel.
A: Empty the gun. Close the bolt or breech face. Slide an appropriate dowel rod into the barrel. Make a mark just above the muzzle. Carefully remove the dowel rod. Measure the correct distance.

Q: Plastic food bowls can cause eye irritation due to tiny cracks that build up bacteria. If you use plastic bowls, try switching them out for glass, stainless steel, or porcelain bowls. This small tweak may lead to fewer tear stains in your dog or cat. The high mineral content in some tap water can cause irritation in cats and dogs, leading to tear stains. If your pet is prone to tear stains, try switching from tap water to bottled water. This may make a difference in the appearance of tear stains. If you have a filtration system such as a Brita filter, try using that instead. Longhaired dogs are particularly prone to tear stains as their fur irritates their eyes. Long hairs around the face can easily brush against the eyes, leading to tearing and irritation. Regular trimming can help combat this problem, so make regular appointments with your groomer. Unless you have specialized training in pet grooming, it is not advisable to attempt to trim your dog's face yourself. When trimming near a dog's eyes, it's very easy to accidentally clip into your dog's face or eyes. Always consult a professional. While there is no clear link, a high quality diet can prevent health problems overall. If other means have not helped with tear stains, have a talk with your vet about your animal's current diet. They may recommend switching food types (i.e., switching from wet food to dry food) or trying a more nutritious brand of cat or dog food. Switches in food type should usually be made gradually to avoid stomach irritation. Talk to a vet about how to slowly introduce new foods to your pets to prevent indigestion.
A: Switch your food bowls. Use bottled water. Have longhaired dogs trimmed regularly. Talk to your vet about high quality food.

Q: As usual, transform flat cardboard into a box. Fold down all the flaps to finish shaping it. Then tape down the bottom end, sealing any seams. You can purchase this insulated container from a shipping company or office supply store. It should be slightly smaller than the box so that it fits tightly inside of it. It serves as both cushioning and absorbent material. Take the container holding the liquid and set it inside a larger container. This container has to be waterproof with a lid that fits on tightly. Make sure there are no cracks in it and that it has a little extra space for coolant packs. Set the containers inside the box. Another option is to use watertight plastic bags. Either one works well, unless the shipping company has special rules on the issue. Ask them if you’re unsure. Coolant packs can also be obtained from the shipping company or the grocery store. Fit them between the Styrofoam container and the liquid container. Lay a coolant under the container, then place 3 or 4 more between the container’s sides and the Styrofoam. Coolant packs can also be purchased from the shipping company or an office supply store. Fold the box’s remaining flaps, then tape them down with packing tape. Seal the box by covering any other seams. Print off a shipping label and stick it to the box’s top. Also write “Fragile,” “Liquid,” or “Perishable” over the box to encourage others to handle it gently.
A:
Assemble the corrugated box. Put an insulated Styrofoam container inside the box. Place the liquid in a second container. Pack coolants around the container. Tape the box shut and label it.
