Q: Extension poles are the key to successfully painting tall walls. Purchase or rent an extension pole from your local hardware store or online, and find a paint roller that will screw into it. Extension poles cost anywhere from $15-$30 with longer poles being more expensive. Paint rollers cost around $10.  Borrowing an extension pole or roller from a friend is a good way to save money. For help figuring out which extension poles and rollers will work best together, ask an employee at a hardware store or do some research online. Place the bottom of the ladder firmly on the ground and position it against the wall carefully. How long the ladder needs to be will depend on how tall your walls are, but choosing an extension ladder is always a good idea. Make sure the ladder's safety features are working properly.  If you don’t have a tall ladder, ask friends, neighbors, or coworkers if they have one you can borrow.  You can also call your local hardware store and ask them if you can rent a ladder for the day. If your walls have nail holes or other small imperfections, apply a spackling compound to the hole. For tiny holes, apply a small amount of spackle to the hole and smooth it with your finger. For larger holes, level the spackle with a putty knife. After the paste dries, gently sand the spot so that it’s smooth.  Use a tall ladder to spackle spots that are out of your reach. Read the tube of spackling paste to know how long it will take to dry. After you’ve sanded it down, you can use a damp rag to wipe off the dust. If you don’t want to have to worry about painting in a straight line, put painter’s tape along the edges of the wall. Use a tall ladder to tape the very top edges. Be careful and tape slowly, making sure the tape is even and firmly pressed down. Paint brushes, rollers, and edgers can all be messy, especially when attached to an extension pole. To ensure primer or paint doesn't get on the floor, spread out a drop cloth. Make sure the cloth reaches all the way to the wall's edge. You can also use a drop cloth to cover any furniture in the room that isn't able to be moved. Primer is useful when painting over a dark color or damaged wall, as well as in many other situations. There are many different primers made for certain scenarios, so go online or ask an employee at a hardware store if your walls need a primer.  Attach your paint brush or roller to an extension pole to prime the tall parts of your wall. Let the primer dry before beginning the rest of the painting. Check your can of primer to see how long it will take to dry completely.
A: Find a paint extension pole and roller that are compatible. Set up your tall ladder. Use spackling paste if the wall has holes or rough spots. Apply painter’s tape to edges of walls if desired. Put down a drop cloth to protect the floors. Prime your walls if necessary.

Article: There are many ways to educate yourself in order to learn more about the area you are seeking to improve. Informing yourself on the topics you are committed to improving will help keep you up to date on the latest improvements in your field of interest and keep you inspired.  Check your local paper for community educational classes. Go to your local library and source out books and read them. Learn from other people's experiences and knowledge and commit to an online course or seminar that will inspire you. Ask friends that are successful in the area you want to improve in what resources they use. Note taking is an active process, making you an active learner. While taking a seminar, or listening to a motivational CD, write down notes on what you are learning. How does it apply to your goals? Taking notes will keep the information you are learning fresh in your mind and also help you keep track of your progress. Let's be honest, if you don't think about your goals, you won't make them happen. If you aren't doing anything about your goals, they are just wishes. At a set time, perhaps Monday mornings, review your progress for the last week and set new action steps for the upcoming week that push you towards your ultimate goal. Reading your goals weekly helps remind you of their importance and keeps you clear on what you truly want in your life.  Check to see if you are on track with your deadline. Perhaps you need to kick it up a notch and take more small steps to achieve your goal. Make sure you are challenging yourself enough. If the goal is becoming too easy to attain, perhaps you need to make the goal more challenging by adding a new component. For example, "I run two miles a day" instead of "I run a half mile a day." Check to see if you are still inspired by your goals. If not, reorganize them until you feel more enthusiastic.

Q: Subtly let him know that you're not seeing anybody at the moment, but that you're open to the possibility. The one thing stronger than a guy's desire to ask a girl out is his fear of rejection. If you can relieve that fear then there will be nothing standing in his way. So make it clear that you'd say yes to him if he asked. Everyone knows that guys can be a little slow at reading the signs. So even if you feel like you've been sending out all the right signals, it might be time to up the ante a little. Smile at him, laugh at his jokes, touch his arm when you talk to him, sit close to him when possible - he should soon realize that he's the only one receiving such special attention.  Don't underestimate the power of body language! When you're around him, keep your body language open. Crossing your arms makes you seem unapproachable and closed off. If you don't know what to do with your hands, order a drink, or rest them on your lap. Try not to fidget. Make lots of eye contact. If you're looking anywhere but at him while he's talking to you, you'll seem disinterested. Looking him straight in the eye and you'll appear confident and open. If you have plans to hang out with friends or to go to a party over the weekend, invite him to come along. With any luck, the two of you will spend the whole time together. It's not exactly a date, but it'll give you the opportunity to get to know one another a little better in a no-pressure environment. A trustworthy friend can be used to your advantage here. She can do some undercover digging and make comments or ask questions that you would feel uncomfortable with.  Ask her to talk to his friends and playfully inquire about when he's going to ask you on a date. Get her to comment on what a good couple the two of you would make, in front of a group of people. It might be a little embarrassing at the time, but it will plant the idea in his brain. Just make sure that you can count on her to be discreet. Otherwise, using a friend to do your dirty work can seem immature. Find out where he likes to hang out in the evenings, what his favorite coffee place is or where he goes to the gym. Then, if you happen to "accidentally" bump in to one another, you can strike up a conversation. Remember, this tactic is to be used only once or twice. If you do it more often than that, he'll figure out that you're stalking him and you'll look like a creep. If he still hasn't worked up the courage to ask you out on a date, it might be time to take the initiative and give him a ready-made opportunity. Mention that there's a new bar in town that you'd be interested in checking out, or a new sci-fi film that you're dying to see. Hopefully he'll see his chance and offer to go with you. It's not the most romantic of proposals, but you'll still get your date! If you're tired of waiting around for this guy to summon up the nerve to ask you out, take matters into your own hands. This is the 21st Century after all. He'll be impressed by your confidence and won't be able to resist saying yes!
A:
Let him know you're available. Send clear signals. Invite him to join you. Get friends involved. Stalk him (just a little). Drop hints. Ask him out.
