Fill a large stockpot halfway to three-quarters full with standard tap water. Set it on the stove and bring it up to a full, rolling boil using high heat.  The water is at a full boil when large, rolling waves of bubbles violently break the surface of the water. You need to make sure that you use enough water and a large enough stockpot so for the jeans to be completely submerged. Remove your jeans from the boiling water and transfer them to your dryer immediately. Use the hottest dryer setting possible and dry your jeans completely.  The intense heat of the dryer will further tighten the fibers already tightened by the hot, turbulent water. Make sure that you use tongs as you hand the jeans since they will be very hot. Do not air-dry the jeans. Make sure that the jeans are completely dry when you remove them from the drying machine.

If your plant is indeed infested with spider mites, the leaves may have yellow blotches on them. When light falls on the leaves, you may see a silvered look or even streaks of bronze or silver.  While mites usually attack the underside of leaves, they can sometimes get greedy and also eat the upper side of leaves and flowers. Eventually, the mites will suck holes right through the leaves - providing the most obvious evidence of infestation. Even if you can't find holes in the leaves, your plant may still have spider mites, so keep an eye out for other signs of infestation. Other signs of mite damage include distortion, deformation, wilting, spotting, streaking or discoloration on the surface of the leave. If the mite damage gets particularly bad, the leaves may start to fall off. This is a giveaway sign of some spider mites. The webbing usually clusters around feeding areas. Note that not all species of spider mite will produce webbing though. Spider mites are so  small, they can be very difficult to see. However, one method you can use to confirm their presence is to take a sheet of white paper, place it beneath the plant you suspect to be infested and and lightly shake the stem of one of the leaves.  A certain number of the spider mites should fall onto the paper. They can be viewed more easily with a magnifying glass. Spider mites come in a variety of colors, including red, green, yellow and brown. They have eight legs and tend to move quite slowly. Be on the lookout for spider mites with spots on their backs - these are known as two-spotted spider mites and can be particularly hard to get rid of. There are some plants which spider mites seem to favor more than others.  In particular, pay attention to possible infestations on miniature roses, fruit trees, bananas, potted begonias, beans, mint, broad-leafed weeds, strawberries, frangipani and indoor houseplants. Be aware that the two-spotted spider mite has been known to infest over 100 different species of plant. These are the conditions where spider mites can cause the most damage, as they are thirsty and are seeking moisture from the leaves of the plant. This also means they are very attracted to anything grown under glass, including plants sitting inside on your windowsills.

It would be even better if you group them together on 1 wall. This way, if you ever have friends over and musical inspiration strikes, you don't have to go all over your house and hunt down the instruments. Everything will be all in one place! While not absolutely necessary, this is a great way to turn your wall into a sort of museum. If you already have a guitar or 2 signed by your favorite band, consider getting another instrument that they play signed as well, such as a keyboard or a brass instrument. This will help make your wall look more organized. For example, if you have a collection of string instruments, hang them in order from smallest to largest. Here are some other ideas:  Group instruments by type. This includes acoustic versus electric guitars. Group instruments by color or wood type. Keep different bands separate. This is great if you have different types of instruments from multiple bands. Even if you keep your instrument behind a glass case, too much sunlight can cause it to deteriorate. Other factors you should take into consideration include temperature and humidity; both should be stable. Some instruments require more humidity than others. Ask your instrument's manufacturer about the proper storage conditions. Even if your instrument is slender, such as an electric guitar, it may still be easily knocked off its mount if you place it in a busy location, such as near a doorway or in a hall way. Instead, hang your instruments in an area that receives little foot-traffic. Avoid hanging large, bulky instruments in small, tight spaces, even if they are not busy. If you have to suck your breath in to walk past your instrument, it's not a good spot!

One-sentence summary -- Keep your instruments together in a single room. Include a variety instruments if you are collecting from a band. Group multiple instruments together in a comprehensive order. Choose a location away from sunlight. Keep your instruments away from high-traffic areas.


It is typically $1,000 or a multiple of that amount. Remember that the face value is the principal amount to be paid back when the bond reaches maturity. Pretend that in this case, the face value of the bond is $1000. This means you "loaned out" $1000, and expect $1000 back at the bond's maturity. The rate is stated in the bond's paperwork. It may also be called the face, nominal or contractual interest rate.  The coupon rate established when the bond was issued remains unchanged and is used to determine interest payments until the bond reaches maturity. In this case, assume the coupon is 5%. By multiplying the bond's face value by its coupon interest rate, you can figure out what the dollar amount of that interest rate is each year.   For example, if the bond's face value is $1000, and the interest rate is 5%, by multiplying 5% by $1000, you can find out exactly how much money you will receive each year. Remember when multiplying a number by a percent, to convert the number to a decimal. For example, 5% would be 0.05. $1000 multiplied by 0.05 would equal $50. Therefore, your annual interest payment is $50. Interest is typically paid twice a year.   This information is stated when you purchase the bond. If a bond pays interest twice a year, the annual payment would be divided by two. In this case, every six months you can expect $25. If the bond pays monthly, the exact same approach as above would be used, but the $50 would be divided by 12, since there are 12 months in a year.  In this case, $50 divided by 12 is $4.16, which means you would receive $4.16 monthly. You earn the interest only for the days you own the bond. If you buy a bond between interest payments, the market price will include the interest owed to the previous owner for the days he or she held the bond.
