INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you’re hanging your mirror on drywall, using picture hanger hooks and small nails is probably the best option. Picture hangers will hold up most light to medium mirrors, and they are also easy to install and remove. Picture hangers come in a variety of sizes and have different weight limits, so make sure the weight limit listed on the hardware packaging is higher than the weight of your mirror. Once you’ve marked where you want your hooks to hold up the wire, simply use a hammer and nail to tap in a picture hanger on each corner mark. Tap the nail gently so that you don’t accidently damage your wall. Once you’ve tapped in your two picture hangers, step back and make sure they look level from a distance. These specialty types of hardware can bear a lot more weight than a standard picture hanger. There are a lot of different models and brands, so take care in choosing one that is appropriate for your mirror and wall. If you’re working with a very heavy mirror, you must screw it directly into a wall stud.

SUMMARY: Go with picture hangers if you’re hanging a mirror on drywall. Hammer in your hangers with small nails. Use a toggle bolt, molly bolt, or threaded anchor for heavier mirrors.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try to use fresh, ripe bananas, if you can. If you like your smoothie extra thick, frozen bananas instead. Cutting the bananas up first will make it easier for them to blend. The ice cubes will help make your smoothie thicker. If you are using frozen bananas, you do not need to add the ice cubes. You can add all of the ice cream into the blender now, or save the last scoop to use as a topping later. For a healthier option, consider using honey instead. There should be no chunks or lumps of banana or ice. From time to time, you may want to open the blender, and use a spatula to push the smoothie down the walls of the blender. This will help everything mix together more evenly. If you saved the last scoop of ice cream, now is the time to add it.
Summary: Cut and peel 2 bananas. Put the bananas, ice, and milk into the blender. Add 2 to 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Add 1 to 3 teaspoons (5 to 15 grams) of sugar if you like your smoothies extra sweet. Blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the smoothie into 1 or 2 tall glasses and serve.

If you have changed your name or address since your last registration application was filed, you will need to update your voter registration. The easiest way to do this is online using the OLVR. You will use the online system just like you did when you filled out your original online registration application, except this time you will indicate that you are updating your information. You can also notify your local board of elections of any changes by sending in a new registration application. You will fill out the information in the same manner as if you were registering for the first time, except in Section 2 you will indicate that you are changing your name and/or address. Once you have completed the application, you will send it to your local board of elections or the State Board of Elections. As a last resort, you can update certain registration information during early voting. If you need to change your address, for example, you can do this by bringing proof of your new address (e.g., driver's license, utility bill, paycheck) with you to the early voting site. However, you cannot change your party affiliation during early voting. This must be done after the election.  If you have changed your name, you will have to vote under your former name but you will be able to fill out a form that contains your new name. Your name will then be updated after the election.

One-sentence summary -- Use the OLVR. Send in a new voter registration application. Update information during early voting.

Q: Once your pillows have been washed, gently squeeze excess water into your wash tub or sink.  Put the pillows in the dryer, but do not overload the dryer.  Remember, your pillows will expand as they dry! The fibers in pillows can break down under high heat.  Choose a low heat or air dry setting on your dryer for a dry cycle that will keep your pillows safe. The balls will bounce around with the pillows in the dryer and keep the filling from clumping.  Your pillows will get fluffy while they dry, too, which will allow the filling to spread out for faster drying. If you use tennis balls, you can put them inside clean socks to avoid getting tennis ball lint on your pillows. Since you are using low or no heat, the pillows may need to go through a few cycles before they're completely dry.  After each cycle, remove the pillows from the dryer and fluff them by giving them a good shake. Give your pillow a great big squeeze to make sure it’s dry on all sides, especially in the corners.  Sniff the pillow to make sure there aren’t any bad smells, which might mean it's not completely dry. Allow your pillow to cool outside of the dryer.  This will help remove any musty smells from laundering, and ensure the pillow is finished drying. A hot pillow can feel drier than it is!  Before you put your pillow back in its pillowcase or use it, give it one last touch test to make sure it’s fully dry.  Pat hard on both sides to check for any damp spots. If the pillow is still damp, you can put it in the dryer again as needed.
A: Toss pillows in the dryer immediately. Set your dryer to a very low heat. Add dryer balls or tennis balls. Dry for 45-60 minutes at a time. Remove the pillow from the dryer. Lay the pillow flat in the sun. Make sure pillows are completely dry.

These kits will not see you through an entire period, but they will see you through a full day at work or school, and you can always restock them at home.

Your favorite handbags. Your desk drawer at work. Your locker at school. Your locker at the gym. Remember to refresh your period supplies each month.

Not everyone has access to a large locker or private office to store clothing.
