article: Though you may have a lot to do, it’s nice to greet and welcome each arriving guest into your home yourself, rather than having another guest let them in.  This is their first impression of your new home, and greeting them yourself sets the best tone for the party. When each guest arrives, offer him a drink.  Give an overview of the options and offer to pour a drink for him.  If he declines initially, show him where the drinks are and encourage him to help himself whenever he is ready. You may want to wait until a small group has arrived so that you don’t have to give as many individual tours.  Guests love to see all of the rooms of your new home, including closets and pantries.  If you have any unfinished rooms, ask guests if they have any suggestions for how to use or organize the space.  This will take the focus off of the fact that you’re not unpacked yet and give guests an opportunity to feel helpful. Feel free to tell guests that they cannot go into certain rooms.  It is your home, after all, and you do not have to show everyone every room in the house. You may want to put all the food out at once, but you can also put food out in waves.  You could start with 2 or 3 food trays, then add to them or provide new things as the evening progresses.  Encourage your guests to eat and ask them about any dietary restrictions or allergies as you direct them towards the different food options.  Consider keeping the food and drink areas separate to avoid crowding. Providing two or more locations for food can also prevent crowding. Try not to spend too much time with any one party guest, but circulate around and speak with everyone.  Be sure all your guests know each other, and if you are introducing two people who have never met, try to point out something that you think they may have in common. Remember that people may have different styles and visions for homes, and that some of your guests may not have the privilege of owning a nice home.  Always be gracious and be genuinely grateful that your guests have come to see and celebrate your new home with you. If you plan to serve a sit-down meal, try to serve it at the appropriate time.  Most of your guests should have arrived, but no one should have been there long enough that they feel ready to leave. Towards the end of the night, consider serving your guests coffee and dessert (if you did not have dessert trays out already).  This will be a signal to your guests that the party is winding down, and providing coffee before guests drive home is a nice way to help keep them safe.  Be sure to thank guests for coming before they leave.

Write an article based on this "Price it correctly. Write a specific ad. Be honest about any flaws or damage. Provide a minimum of ten photos."
article: Enter your car’s information onto a website, such as Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds, to get an instant appraisal. Or, scour the local classified ads to see if there are other people selling cars similar to yours. Find a price point you're comfortable with, keeping in mind that the buyer might try to negotiate with you and you'll probably end up getting less than your asking price.  Private party sellers generally see the best results with a price that is rounded, such as $11,000. After you receive the online estimates, price your car between 97-102 percent of those figures. Give potential buyers more information regarding your openness to negotiations by stating “firm” or “best offer” in your ad. Provide as many details regarding your car’s condition, model, mileage, and extras as you can. The more details that you provide the fewer random buyer questions you will need to answer. Do your best to avoid cheesy phrases, such as “like new,” as they are just narrative dead weight. Read through your ad’s text a few times to check that it sounds approachable and interesting.  For example, if your car has a clean accident history, then point this out and state that a vehicle history report is available upon request. To draw in thrifty buyers, state if your car has exceptional gas mileage or other cost-saving features. Also, include a brief mention of any warranties that still cover the car. To establish trust with a potential buyer, briefly mention any mechanical issues that might need to be addressed. You could even list your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), so that interested parties can do some research on their own. Don’t take this too far and list everything that is wrong with your car. Just pick out one or two potential concerns to point out in your ad. It’s easier for a buyer to envision themselves in a car when they can actually see it. If you are posting online, add photos up until you reach the limit. If you are creating a flyer, choose one or two shots that show off your car’s best features. Include photos of both the interior and exterior, if possible. Get a bit creative and add in shots from a variety of angles. You can even include a video ad if the website will support it.

Backpacking is the ultimate form of camping in the wilderness. It allows you and your group to carry everything you need for a successful and safe hike. Backpacking is also an exhausting endeavor. Evaluate your physical and mental strength before committing to a backpacking trip. This will help both you and your group. Most modern backpacks are top loaded giving you access to the main compartment through the top. The bottom of your pack should be reserved for items to be used in setting up camp like a tent. All heavy items should be positioned in the center of the pack. This includes pots, pans and other cookware. The top portion of your pack should include all the supplies you might need during your hike like snacks, tools, and a map. Check if your program provides a backpack for campers. Some will allow you to bring your own. You’ll probably need an extended trip or multi-day pack. These are anywhere from 50 liters to larger. Get fit for your backpack at an outdoors store to avoid injury. You will definitely need certain supplies regardless of your trip. These supplies include a headlamp, sunscreen, matches/lighter, multi-tool pocket knife, and a water bottle.  Most camps won’t require you to bring food and cookware. You could play it safe by bringing nuts or other types of energy snacks. Make sure you bring a strong sealable bag to avoid animals from interfering with you. For a summer backpacking trip you should bring multiple wicking t-shirts and underwear. Wicking material allows air to breath through your clothes. You should also bring a rain jacket, sweatshirt, and a baseball cap or a hat that shades your face. Every program is different. Some trips specialize in winter backpacking trips. These are intense trips that require additional planning and preparation.
