Article: Pinch the stem of the wine glass between your thumb, index finger, and middle finger.  As you position your fingers, place them on the lower half of the stem. Your middle finger should rest on the stem just above the base. Only these three fingers will come into direct contact with the stem of the glass. Your remaining two fingers should naturally rest on top of the base. This is the standard way to hold a wine glass. Holding it in this manner should provide plenty of stability while keeping your hands away from the bowl of the glass. Holding a wine glass by the bowl is social taboo, but the reasons for that are as practical as they are polite. Both the taste and appearance of the wine can be negatively impacted when you hold the bowl.  When you hold the bowl of the glass, the heat of your hands will quickly cause the wine inside to warm up. This problem is most pronounced when sipping white wine or champagne since these types of drinks taste best when chilled. The problem isn't quite as severe when drinking red wine, but even red wine tastes best when kept a little cooler than room temperature. Additionally, holding the glass by the bowl can leave fingerprints, which makes the appearance of the wine glass less elegant. Both your fingers and the prints they leave behind can also make it harder to examine the color or clarity of the wine.

Hold the stem between your thumb and first two fingers. Never hold the bowl.
Article: Place the audio CD that you want to rip logo side-up in your computer's CD drive.  If a pop-up window appears when inserting the CD, close it before proceeding. If you're using a Mac (or a Windows computer that doesn't have a CD drive), you'll need to attach an external CD drive to your computer for this step. Click or double-click the iTunes app icon, which resembles a multicolored musical note on a white background. If you don't have iTunes installed, download and install it before proceeding. It's in the top-left corner of the iTunes window. This will take you to the CD's page. This button is in the upper-right side of the page. Clicking it prompts a pop-up window to appear. Click the "Import using" drop-down box at the top of the drop-down menu, then click the format in which you want to import the audio CD's contents.  For example, you would click MP3 encoder to rip the music to MP3 files on your computer. By default, iTunes will save the CD's files as AAC files, which are playable with most audio players and actually have higher inherent quality than MP3 files. Click the "Setting" drop-down box, then click the quality with which you want to import the files. For example, if you want to import the audio files in extremely high quality, you would click the Higher Quality option in the drop-down menu. It's at the bottom of the pop-up window. Doing so prompts iTunes to begin importing your CD. Once the import is complete, iTunes will make a confirmation chime, and the progress bar will disappear from the top of the iTunes window. Click Music in the upper-left side of the iTunes page, then scroll down to the imported CD's album and click the album once to open it. It doesn't matter which song you right-click as long as the song is in the album you imported. A drop-down menu will appear. On a Mac, click once the song, then click File in the upper-left corner of the screen. This is in the drop-down menu. Doing so opens the folder location of the imported songs; at this point, you're free to move, rename, copy, or edit them as you please. If you're using a Mac, click Show in Finder here instead.

Article: The American Kennel Club (AKC) describes the temperament of the Doberman as energetic, determined, watchful, loyal, and fearless. This goes some way to describe the alert intelligence of the Doberman. When channeled correctly through good training, their energy and willfulness make them a potent working dog and a great pet. Due to the size and power of the Doberman, if its handler is not knowledgeable and confident, the dog has the potential to become dangerous. The Doberman is not a suitable breed for a first time owner. Indeed, the ideal owner should be an experienced dog owner who is prepared to devote time and attention to the correct training and exercising (both mental and physical) of their dog. If this happens then a Doberman is likely to be a wonderful, attentive, and loyal companion who is devoted to their owner.  In the wrong hands a Doberman (through no fault of its own) could become either fearful (and therefore aggressive in order to protect himself from perceived threats) or territorially aggressive. Neither is a desirable scenario an out of control doberman is a danger to life and limb. A well-trained Doberman can make a great family dog, but supervision is essential around small children as this dog is very energetic and if a small child gets in the way, the dog may push them over. Being a large dog, and an athletic one at that, Dobermans need adequate space to move around. Apartment living is not a great option for a dog this active and large unless you will give it enough exercise for your dog to spill out all of its energy. And of course, make sure your land lord allows dog, do not try to hide a dog, ever! Indeed, the Doberman also needs access to a decent sized yard, in order to stretch its legs between walks. This yard should also be fenced, as a Doberman may become defensive if a stranger wanders over its territory; keep in mind these dogs were specifically bred to protect. You should be prepared to devote at least 2 hours a day to exercising your Doberman, an hour in the morning and again in the evening. Their working origins and athleticism mean they have a high requirement for exercise. You should weigh the costs associated with keeping any large dog. You need to provide a good quality food, since cheap foods bulked up with cereal may ferment in the dog's gut and predispose it to bloat. Obviously good quality foods are more expensive than that cheap food, and the cost of feeding the required amount can be considered. Also, deworming and anti-parasite treatments are going to cost more than for a small dog. The Doberman should stand around 24 - 28 inches tall at the shoulders, with males being taller than females. The classic color is black with tan markings, but red, blue, and fawn are also permissible by the AKC. The Doberman weighs 60 - 80 lbs and the average lifespan is 10 - 13 years. In the US the ears are usually cropped, while in the UK this procedure is considered a cosmetic mutilation and frowned upon.
