INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If a Scorpio knows what's on your mind, they're much more likely to calm down and reach a compromise. Although Scorpios are intuitive, they are not psychic. Let your Scorpio know what's on your mind, and listen to them when they open up to you. You could say, for example, "When you said that you don't like my dog, it hurt my feelings. My dog means a lot to me, and I guess I felt kind of offended when you insulted her." When a Scorpio man is in love, he may become overprotective of his lover when he's concerned or jealous when he feels insecure.Talk to your Scorpio if you feel smothered to gain more personal space and independence.  Be kind when pointing this tendency out to your Scorpio. Usually, his heart is in the right place and he might not even know what he's doing. You may say, for example, "I know that you're worried about me taking the night bus home, but I promise you that I'm safe. This is something I've done many times before. How about I call you when I get home?" Even if they have a cool outer shell, Scorpios are sensitive at heart. Harsh criticism can hurt your Scorpio's feelings and damage any trust between you and him. Make sure you offer constructive criticism and pair each critical comment with a compliment. You could say, for example, "So today when we were talking with my friend, she said she felt like you were a little standoffish. I know that you didn't mean it because you have such a good heart, but sometimes you can seem a little aloof." Scorpio men and women both like to be dominant in their relationships, especially when arguing. If your Scorpio partner is too dominant for your liking, tell them that you value independence and focus on building a balanced relationship.  At the same time, don't try to win every disagreement with your Scorpio. Focus more on understanding his perspective and coming to a compromise than shutting down his wants. You might say, for example, "Hey, I know that you want to spend the entire weekend together, but I need some 'me time' tonight. If you could respect that and go out with some friends or family tonight instead, I would appreciate it."

SUMMARY: Share your feelings and perspective during an argument. Tell your Scorpio when he's being too possessive. Offer tactful criticism to your Scorpio partner. Tell your Scorpio partner when they're pushing your boundaries.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This will allow the fat to drip down and flavor the meat. Some experts now say that pork must reach over 145 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe.  Cover it with aluminum foil so that it doesn't lose too much heat.  Pour it into a frying pan and simmer it on high heat until it is reduced by half. Pour it over the slices of roast pork.

SUMMARY: Place the fattiest side of the roast upward in the roasting pan, slow cooker or Dutch oven. Use a meat thermometer to see whether the roast has reached 160 degrees on the inside. Make sure the thermometer does not touch the bone, as this will produce an inaccurate reading. Allow the pork to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice the pork roast across the grain for a tender flavor. Use the extra liquid from your roasting pan, slow cooker or Dutch oven to make a sauce. Finished.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use purple shampoo if you notice yellow tints in your hair, and silver or gray shampoo when the color starts to fade. Get your hair wet, then apply the shampoo. Leave it in for the time recommended on the label (typically 5 to 30 minutes), then rinse it out.  Leave the shampoo on for only 5 minutes the first time that you use it to get a better idea of how strong it is on your hair. An alternative to purple shampoo is blue shampoo. It is better suited to silver or gray hair, and may even be labeled as such.  You can purchase color-depositing shampoos as your local beauty supply store. If you use color-depositing products too often, you might end up changing your hair color. Use your color-safe shampoo/conditioner once or twice a week. Every 2 to 3 weeks, use a color-depositing shampoo/conditioner.  For example, using purple shampoo too often, such as every day, can make your silver hair look like it has a purple tint. Don't be afraid to use different kinds of purple shampoo. There are ones that are more like purple dye, and ones that are more like shimmery conditioner. You can even mix them together to create a unique blend. These products wash out, so you should apply them to your hair after you have finished washing it, while it is still damp. Rub the gray or silver rinse into your hair, then let it air dry or speed the process up with a hairdryer.  This product can stain. Use an old towel when towel-drying your hair. If you don't find the applicator bottle convenient to use, try a spray bottle instead. It would be best to do this at a salon, but you can do it yourself. If you are doing it at a salon, consider getting it done at the same time as your root touch-up. If you are doing it yourself, use a low-volume developer and a white or platinum toner. You can also do a bleach bath every 1 to 2 months. Get it done professionally at a salon, and be aware that it can be damaging. While the time between root touch-ups varies based on how quickly your hair grows, for most people it will be somewhere between 4 to 8 weeks. Since this requires a precise hand, it would be best to get it done professionally at a salon. If you cannot afford this, consider getting a friend or family member to help you. If you choose to enlist a friend or a family member, make sure that they have some experience with bleaching and dyeing hair.

SUMMARY:
Use silver, purple, or gray color-depositing shampoos. Alternate between color-safe products and color-depositing products. Use a temporary gray or silver rinse to even out your hair color. Do a toning treatment if color-depositing products aren't enough. Re-touch your roots when they start to show.
