Article: U-locks are very difficult to open by hammering or using force, but they are weakened and become brittle when cooled by air spray, meaning that they can be smashed open. Buy compressed or canned air at home improvement stores or online. Canned air contains the compressed chemical difluoroethane, which will cool the lock to around -13 degrees F (-25 degrees C). If your U-lock is locked but not connected to anything, breaking it will be easy. If the U-lock is locked around a bicycle or a door handle, it will a little more difficult to open, but it will still be doable. Position the U-lock so that the bar of the U-lock is lying flat on the ground or is against a stable surface like a door or the bar of the bike rack. Hold the can of air spray about a foot away from the keyhole. Then hold down the trigger of the canned air and spray it directly at the keyhole. Spray continuously for about 30 seconds. You will notice the bar becoming white as the chemical reacts with the surface of the U-lock and chills it. Be sure to aim the spray radius at the keyhole, where you will focusing your hammering. After about 30 seconds, the bar of the U-lock will have been chilled and should be brittle enough to break. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the U-lock by its loop against the ground or the surface that you positioned it against. Pick up the hammer in your dominant hand and begin to hammer against the keyhole.  Keep your fingers away from the place that you are hammering. Also try to keep the U-lock stable and in position as you hammer. Don't be alarmed as you see the white powder on the U-lock come off in a mist as you begin to hammer. Keep hammering against the keyhole area of the U-lock. You may have to hammer for 30 seconds or so until a piece breaks off of the bar, after which breaking it will become much easier. Focus your hammering against the broken area of the lock. More sections will come off, until the bar breaks completely and separates from one or both sides of the U.  Be patient, as it may take several minutes of hammering to break the U-lock. Dispose of the remains of the lock when you are finished.

Problem: Article: Open, honest communication is vital to a relationship. Non-sexual physical intimacy may not be as important to your boyfriend as it is to you. Be clear about what you're looking for and why, or he may not realize how much this matters. Express your feelings using sentences that begin with "I." This is more effective than accusing him or complaining about his behavior. Give him your full attention, and encourage him to give feedback on what you said. The more you listen without judgement or anger, the more comfortable he'll be about opening up to you. Pay attention to his body posture and tone of voice as well. If he seems stiff or uncommunicative, something is bothering him. It may take several patient attempts before he discusses it. Many guys have been conditioned to think that showing emotion is a weakness. Your boyfriend may feel vulnerable or insecure when cuddling, or feel that it doesn't match a tough, macho persona. If you think this may be the case, be patient and let him adjust slowly. It takes time for him to let down his shell and show a softer side. Even men who don't seem macho on the surface are often slower to show affection than women. Many men are more willing to show affection in private. Ask him if there are types of affection he'd rather you didn't show in public, at least for now. Perhaps your boyfriend is comfortable showing intimacy, but doesn't do so as often as you'd like. In this case, understand that he probably has a lower threshold of intimacy than you do. Some people are happiest sharing physical intimacy a couple times a week, or prefer small shared moments to hours of spooning. Respect his desire for alone time or low-key activities, and ask him to respect your desire to set aside more intimate time as well. Respect that your boyfriend has a different comfort level about these activities than you do. Here are a couple discussions you could have depending on where you are in the relationship:  If you are not sexually intimate, your boyfriend may not be ready for the same level of intimacy that you are. You may need to put the brakes on and let him advance the relationship at his pace. If you are sexually intimate, your boyfriend might see this as all the physical intimacy you need. Explain that non-sexual intimacy fills different needs for you. Find out what your boyfriend is comfortable with at this stage. Try holding his hand and gently caressing it with your thumb, hugging, or stealing a kiss when you walk down the street. If he pulls away or doesn't seem to enjoy these, try to find something more subtle. However, if he does seem to enjoy these, slowly and gradually make your affectionate attempts more obvious and frequent. Always remember, as soon as he becomes uncomfortable, abort the mission and go back to a level he enjoys. Over time, he should take the hint and start to reciprocate more. Advance this at a gradual pace and you'll get to the cuddling station in the end. Rushing this is a big mistake. If you push him to do something he's not comfortable with, he may resent this and become less cooperative. Yes, patience and compromise are keys to a relationship, but this is a two-way street. If your partner doesn't listen to you or take this discussion seriously, he is not meeting his end of the relationship. Make it clear to him that you expect him to respect your feelings, and make an honest effort to find a compromise. If you feel starved for affection and see no attempt at improvement, it may be time to end the relationship.
Summary: Talk to your boyfriend. Listen to his response. Understand male perspectives. Realize that people have different needs. Put this in the context of your intimacy. Advance intimacy with patience. Address long-term lack of intimacy.

on your esophagus to widen it. In this procedure, your doctor will insert dilators into your esophagus to widen it using a scope that is inserted in your throat. You will be under general anesthesia during the surgery so you will not feel any pain. This surgery is invasive but it is considered less extreme than a myotomy. If medication and other treatments do not work, your doctor may suggest a myotomy, where the muscles at the lower end of your esophagus are surgically cut. This can then weaken esophageal contractions in your throat and make it easier for you to swallow. You will be under general anesthesia during this procedure so you will not feel any pain. It is considered a serious surgery and is often only done as a last resort if other treatments for your spasms do not work. You will need to stay in the hospital overnight after the surgery and allow 1-3 weeks for recovery. It will be difficult for you to swallow solid foods so a liquid diet, and some soft foods, are good during your recovery. You will also need to go in for a special X-ray of the area to ensure the surgery was successful.  Your doctor will also schedule a follow up with you one to two weeks after the surgery to ensure the area is healing properly and there are no signs of infection. Foods will be limited to baby food, rice, and foods put through a blender.
