article: Set a tall pot on the stove. Secure a steamer inside of it. Your steamer may be a rack that rests across the length of the pot or a basket that sits inside the pot. As long as it can hold the crab and has holes in the bottom to let out the steam, it will cook the claws. Two-piece crab steamer pots also exist. The inner pot is the same as a steamer basket. Add about three cups (710 mL) to the pot. You don’t need much water for boiling, so don’t let the water level reach the inside of the steamer. Use the bottom edge of the steamer as a guide. Turn up the heat under the pot. Wait for a little while for the water to boil. You may use this time to wash the crab, but stay aware of the water. Pass the claws under running water to remove debris. Do this for about two pounds (.45 kg) of Jonah crab claws. Drop them into the steamer. Remove the steamer from the pot. You can rinse the claws under running water or allow them to rest in the basket for a few minutes to cool them. Crack open the claws and eat the meat plain or serve it with melted butter or a cocktail sauce.

article: in first position. Get into first position by standing with your legs together and your toes pointed out. Lift your arms out in front of you and form them into an oval. Bend your knees and slowly lower your body down toward the ground, keeping your heels flat on the floor. Squeeze your muscles in as you come back up. This is called a demi plié.  Pliés are pronounced as Plea-AE. You can hold onto a ballet barre or the back of a chair for support if you need it. After you can do a demi plié, move on to the grande pliés. It's the same move, except that you lift your heels off the floor. This is similar to a squat but you have your heels together and your toes pointed out. Stand up tall with your heels together and your toes pointed out. Push your foot against the floor as you slide it out to the front, side, or back. Lift your heel to point your toe. Then, slowly lower your foot from the point down to the floor and drag your foot across the floor back to first position.  Tendues are pronounced Ton-DUE. After you master the first position, try tendues in the other positions. You can use a tendue to transition from first to second position. Do a tendue to the side, then lower your foot to the floor instead of bringing it back in. Stand tall with your heels together and your toes pointed out. Slowly lift your heels off the ground as high as you can. Pause for 2-3 seconds, then slowly lower your heels back to the floor.  Releve is pronounced “rel uh VEY.” After you master releves in first position, try them in the other positions, as well. Do a demi plié in first position with your core engaged and your upper body lifted. Then, spring off the ground and land in a demi plié. As you jump, lift your feet up heel to toe, then land by putting your feet down toe to heel.  Typically, you'll do sets of 4, 6, or 8 sautés. Pay attention to your form so that each sauté is performed correctly.  Once you master this, practice doing it in second position. Start in first position with your heels together, your toes pointed out, and your arms curved into an oval out in front of you. Do a demi plié, then leap off of the floor in a sauté. Open your legs and land in second position with your legs spread slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your arms spread out at your sides.  An échappé is pronounced A-sha-PAY. Do several jumps shifting from first to second, then second to first. You can also do an échappé to shift from fifth to second position. Grand jetés are leaps where you extend 1 leg in front of your body and 1 leg behind your body. Place your arms in fourth or fifth position. Take a small hop forward with 1 leg, then leap into the air to do your grand jeté. Split your legs and extend them out straight with your toes pointed.  Jeté is pronounced Zha-TAE. Jump as high as you can without overexerting your body or bending your knees. With practice, you'll be able to jump higher and spread your legs further. A grand battement is a kick with a pointed toe and straight leg, which you can do to the front, side, or back. Put your arms in second position. Brush your foot across the floor, then lift it up into a kick. Lift your kick up as high as you can, pointing your toe. Keep your standing leg straight as you kick.  Grand battement is pronounced GROND Bot-MAH. When you're doing a grand battement to the back, lean forward slightly but don't bend at your waist. Try to lift your leg at least 90 degrees off the ground, but don't push yourself further than your range of motion can go. As you practice, you'll be able to lift your leg further off the ground. You can do grand battements with your arms in other positions as you get better at ballet.

article:
Make sure the paddle you’re playing with has rubber attached to at least one side. Most ping pong paddles have a thin sheet of rubber glued to the flat surface of the paddle. This adds traction to the face of the paddle and gives you more control over the ball. If your play style involves using a lot of spin to switch up the speed and direction of the ball, it’s important that you find a paddle with some good, grippy rubber.  Having control over the ball means making it go where you want at the speed you want, without having to worry about the ball sliding or deflecting off the paddle. Almost all ping pong paddles are rubberized these days. However, the quality, durability and play characteristics of rubbers can vary greatly. Play with a textured paddle to change the way you handle the ball. In addition to the rubber layer, some paddles also have textures known as “pimples,” “dimples” or “waffling” that grip the ball and help it stick briefly after it makes contact. For defensive players and people who like to decide the pace of a game, a textured paddle can make a big difference.  With a textured paddle, you’ll have additional traction but give up a little bit of speed and reactivity on returns. Deep textures are not recommended for players who use a lot of spin techniques. Decide whether you’d play better with a thicker or thinner rubber sponge. The sponge lies beneath the outer surface of the rubber to absorb impact and offer grip and control. It also changes the speed with which the ball can be returned. Thicker sponges make the paddle heavier and more dense, which lets you hit the ball with more speed. Thin layers of rubber, on the other hand, provide sensitivity and let you slow things down a bit. In addition to the type, softness and texture of the rubber, you have a choice of how thick you want the sponge. The more you play with a paddle, the fast the rubber surface will begin to show signs of wear. When this happens, either replace the rubber and sponge or drop some money on a new paddle. Rubber that has been worn thin loses a lot of its grippiness and spring, which will compromise your technique.  Look for places where the texturing is thinned out or feels less pronounced to the touch. If you tend to use commercial paddles, buy a new one once the old one is past its prime. If you play with a custom paddle, strip off the worn out rubber and attach a new one.
