Make sure your bender is designed for EMT conduit of the size you are using. Even a universal bender may require attaching a shoe and/or follow bar designed for EMT.  This article focuses on hand benders. If you are using a hydraulic or power bender (recommended for conduit with a nominal size over 2 inches), find instructions for your specific bender model. Hickey benders tend to crush or kink EMT conduit. Use a bender with a curved track for the conduit to slot into. A stub up bend is a 90º bend near the end of the conduit. Measure the distance on the wall from the end of the conduit to the position of the bend. The radius of the bend will add extra length to the bent end of your conduit. Take this into account by subtracting a certain amount from your measurement:  If you are using ½" EMT conduit, subtract 5" (12.7 cm). ¾" conduit: subtract 6" (15.2 cm). 1" conduit: subtract 8" (20.3 cm. 1¼" conduit: subtract 11" (27.9 cm). Place your conduit on the floor. Measure from the end of the conduit to the new length you calculated, and mark the conduit at this point. Line the arrow symbol on your bender up so it points to this mark. Slot your bender onto the conduit. Make sure the bender handle is angled toward the end you measured from. If your bender does not have an arrow symbol, you may need to find the instructions for your Your foot should provide most if not all of the pressure. Without pulling, use one hand to steady the handle on your bender, and the other to steady the conduit end once it rises within reach. Apply firm, constant foot pressure, as a pause could create a kink in your conduit. Bend until the end of the conduit is vertical, or very slightly past vertical. If your conduit is 1¼" or larger, you may need an assistant to operate the handle. Attach a level to the vertical length of conduit. If necessary, make small adjustments to the bend until the bubble of the level is centered. The conduit will flex back slightly after you remove the bender, so bending slightly too far will provide the best results.

summary: Select the correct bender. Measure the desired length of the stub. Subtract the take-up height. Line the arrow mark on your bender to this measurement. Press down on the foot pedal to bend the conduit. Confirm the bend with a spirit level (recommended).

Because laws governing debit cards and credit cards are different, you should make this call first and within 48 hours of losing your wallet to protect yourself from fraudulent charges.  If you alert your financial institution within 48 hours, you maximum liability is $50; within 60 days, it is $500; after that, your liability is unlimited if someone is using your card.  Because your debit card is linked to your checking account, and your checking accounts may be linked to other accounts, expect to receive not only a new debit card / number but also new account numbers.  You will also need new paper checks. Keep in mind any automatic payments you may have through your debit card or checking account (phone bill, life insurance premium, etc.).  You will need to update the payment information on these when your account number changes. Yes, this is a hassle, but it is better than having your bank accounts drained and then having to jump through hoops to have your funds restored. You don’t actually need to cancel them, which would necessitate applying for cards all over again.  By reporting them as missing / stolen, you will get new cards with new numbers but be able to retain your current account status.  You maximum liability for fraudulent credit card charges is $50, and is $0 if you contact the company before the card is used fraudulently, but it is easier to prevent fraudulent purchases before they happen than work to erase them afterward.  Program the customer service numbers for your credit card companies (as well as your banks) in your phone so you can contact them quickly. Don’t forget store-issued credit cards as well. No, finding your lost wallet isn’t likely to be their first priority, but making a police report is an important way to protect yourself regardless.  Filing a report creates an official documentary record of the loss and your recovery efforts.  This can prove quite valuable for any insurance claims, fraud liability resolution, identity theft problems, or other issues that might arise. Provide as accurate and detailed an account as possible, with specific time frames and locations.  Keep a copy of the report for your records. In the U.S., contacting one of the three major agencies -- Transunion, Equifax, and Experian -- should suffice, since they are required to share this information, but it can’t hurt to notify all three directly.  A fraud alert will be placed on your accounts, meaning that any attempt to extend further credit will require identity verification.  Anything you can do to avoid the mess of cleaning up damage to your credit score caused by fraud is well worth your time and effort. There are pay options for fraud monitoring services, sometimes offered through your credit cards, that can alert you immediately of possible fraudulent activity. No one looks forward to visiting the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, but you shouldn’t expect the police to buy your story of a lost wallet (and driver’s license) if you are pulled over.  Each U.S. state has its own policies and procedures regarding replacing lost or stolen driver’s licenses, but expect to have to visit in person and pay a replacement fee. Other ID cards -- school, work, etc. -- will need to be replaced as well. Try to remember as much as you can, and see if you can come up with anything else that needs to be reported or replaced.  Don’t forget about store discount cards or even a library card.  These may seem like small potatoes compared to debit and credit cards, but they may permit access to personal information that you don't want in someone else's hands. Basically, you want to start over from scratch in order to make the contents of your lost wallet as worthless as possible, both financially and in regards to your identity.

summary: Call your bank(s) and report your debit card(s) as missing. Report your credit cards as missing. File a police report for a lost or stolen wallet. Call the major credit bureaus to protect your credit rating. Replace your lost identity cards. Make a list of everything that was in your wallet.

If you have stains on the outside of your Ugg slippers, try using a large eraser to clean them. Simply use the eraser to outline the stain. Then gently scrub the area where the stain is. Be careful not to scrub too hard, as this could damage the sheepskin material. Combine 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of warm water and 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of distilled white vinegar in a small bowl. Take a washrag and dip it in the mixture. You want the washrag to be damp, not soaking wet. Dab at the stain with the washrag and gently rub the stain out. Remember that too much water can damage the sheepskin, so don't saturate the washrag. If you get an oil or grease stain on your Ugg slippers, try using a bit of chalk to get it out. Just sprinkle some of the chalk onto the stain and let it sit overnight. The grease will absorb into the chalk and leave your Ugg slippers looking brand new.  In the morning, brush away the chalk and the stain will wipe away with it. You can also use cornstarch and talcum powder instead of chalk. Clean out any hair or debris that has accumulated in the bottom of your Ugg slippers. Then pour a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid on a damp washrag and scrub the insides of your slippers.  Don't use too much dishwashing liquid or the insides will get too soapy and it will be hard to clean out. And make sure your washrag is just damp – not dripping wet. You don't want too much water inside the slippers.
summary: Use a pencil eraser. Clean with vinegar. Use chalk to remove oil or grease. Scrub the dirty fleece lining.
