Article: If you want your parents to let you go to a concert, it's best to create a plan many days, or even weeks, beforehand. Figure out the logistics way ahead of time so that you'll be able to answer all of your parents' questions. Having a detailed plan will make your parents feel more confident about allowing you to go, as will knowing that you've thought about it far in advance. If your parents haven't heard of the band you want to go see, tell them details about their music. What's their genre? How many people are in the band? Who is their intended audience? Even playing some of the band's music for your parents will let them get a better idea of what the concert will be like. Let them know how far away the venue is and exactly where it's located. Show them pictures of the venue, and tell them details about the inside, such as whether or not there are specific seats or general admission.  If your parents are concerned about the venue being too far away, ask if one of them could drop you off at the concert and wait at a restaurant or other nearby location. Some venues offer a waiting area for parents to hang out while their kids enjoy the concert. Research more about your venue to see if this is a possibility. Depending on the type of concert, an audience can range from very mellow to a little wild. Make sure your parents, as well as yourself, understand the type of environment you'll be putting yourself in - you don't want to stray too far from your comfort zone. Sometimes things won't go exactly as planned, so it's always good to know what to do in these circumstances. Maybe your phone died, you got separated from the group, or you can't find the pickup location - whatever the issue is, discuss all of these potential scenarios with your parents so that you're all on the same page for what you should do. Memorizing or writing down your parents' phone numbers will let you call them from any phone, and agreeing on a meet-up spot with your friends if someone gets separated from the group will ensure that no one gets lost.

Problem: Article: Oil-based polyurethane in a satin sheen is an excellent all-purpose clear coat that is relatively easy to apply. Purchase this and your foam brush at a hardware or home improvement store.  Foam brushes are recommended because they are inexpensive, and you can toss them out when you’re done. Natural bristle brushes are also a great choice, although they are more expensive and not disposable. Because the sealer is pretty thin, dripping can be a problem. You definitely don't want any drips to dry on the surface, since this will disturb your smooth finish. Give the coat of sealer about 5 minutes to dry, then examine the surface once more for drips. Smooth out any that you see with your brush. Leave this to cure for 12-24 hours.
Summary: Use an oil-based polyurethane and a foam or natural bristle brush. Wait for 5 minutes and examine the surface once more for dripping.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just as in traditional chess, the player with the white pieces always opens the game. Select a white pawn to move forward one to two spaces. Switch sides and select a black pawn to move forward one to two spaces.  Try to avoid mirroring moves. Players generally move one of the pawns in front of the king or queen. This opens up a lane for the queen and bishops. Prior to moving your pieces, always pause for a moment to think.  Ask yourself several questions about your opponent’s strategy. “What is my opponent doing?” “How did my opponent’s last move impact the game?” “Is my opponent trying to set a trap?” After assessing the situation, formulate or adjust your strategy. First, search for moves that will threaten your opponent’s king or lead to the capture of one of their pieces. Second, determine if the move you want to make will leave your pieces vulnerable to capture. Lastly, double check your evaluation. Throughout the opening portion of the game, you want to position your pieces for future attacks. Prior to moving either queen, work to move the knights and bishops towards the center of the board. Doing so will put the knights and bishops in a position to attack your opponent’s pieces. Avoid moving too many of your pawns in an effort to capture the other player’s pawns. Castling is often the last action of your opening game. It is a move that relocates your king to a position of relative safety. In order to castle, all of the spaces between your unmoved king and an unmoved rook must be open. Slide your king two spaces towards the unmoved rook. Place the rook behind the king (between the king’s starting square and his new position). If your opponent fails to castle, look for an opportunity to capture their king.

SUMMARY: Make the first move for each side. Anticipate your opponent’s moves. Move out the knights and bishops. Castle.

Canaries may be small, but they need roomy cages to flap, hop, and fly to their heart’s content. A canary cage should be at least 16 inches (41 cm) tall and 30 inches (76 cm) wide. Avoid cages with a rounded shape, as these can restrict how much the canary can fly around. They may also make it difficult to hang perches correctly. Canaries are active birds, and they may enjoy interacting with your family. Keep the cage someplace with plenty of interesting activity. A living room or home office may be ideal.  While canaries may enjoy watching humans, many do not like to be held or handled by humans. Let the canaries watch you, but try not to bother them. Put the cage in an area with plenty of light but no direct sunlight. It should be well-ventilated with no drafts blowing on the cage from vents or windows. Keep the cage about 6 feet (1.8 m) off the floor, either by hanging it or setting it on a stand. Canaries will be happiest when they can flit from one perch to another. When placing perches in the cage, adjust them so that they are different heights. This will give the canary multiple flight paths.  Choose perches between 3/8 inches (9.5 mm) and 3/4 of an inch (19 mm) in diameter. Keep a few different widths of perch inside the cage. This will reduce foot discomfort for your canary. Canaries do not require as many toys as other birds, but a few interesting objects will help keep them active. Avoid crowding the cage. Two or three toys will go a long way. Good toys for canaries include:  Mirrors. Plastic balls. Swings. Sticks with leaves on them. Bells. Vine balls. Tightly-wound ropes. You can attach a bird bath to the walls of the cage or place a small bowl of cold water inside. Your canary will splash and bathe in the water when they need a quick refreshment.  If your canary does not use the bath, try filling a spray bottle with cold water, and gently spritzing them with it instead. Change the bath water every day.
