INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Collect the seeds from the pods with your fingers and discard the empty pods. You can also use a spoon or some other similar kitchen tool for crushing. of fresh nutmeg, until you have about 1 tbsp (28 g). Alternatively, you can use store-bought, pre-ground nutmeg. This won’t taste as fresh, but it will be easier if you don’t have a cheese grater or nutmeg grater. Though cheese graters are for cheese, they work with nutmeg but not as well as the nutmeg grater. Add 1 tsp (5 g) of whole cloves, 3 to 4 bay leaves, 6 cardamom pods, ¼ cup (32 g) of whole black peppercorns, ~6 cm (2.4 in) of Cassia bark (or 3-4 cinnamon sticks), 1 cup (128 g) of cumin seeds, and 1/2 cup (64 g) of coriander seeds to the frying pan, and turn on low to medium heat.  You don’t need to add oil or butter; dry roasting will make the seeds crispier, get rid of excess moisture, and make the grinding process easier. Cassia bark can be found at Asian supermarkets and is typically found in more authentic blends. However, cinnamon sticks are a common alternative and can add a bit of sweetness. Use a spatula to move the spices throughout the pan and turn them over. This will release the aromas as the spices roast. Since the nutmeg is already ground, it will burn easily if the pan is too hot. Stir slowly and constantly to keep it from burning. The nutmeg will begin to brown. Let the pan sit for a few minutes to cool the spices off before grinding.

SUMMARY: Crush the cardamom pods with the flat side of a knife until they split. Grate the cloves Roast all of the ingredients except the nutmeg in a frying pan for 4 minutes. Stir or shake the pan every 15-20 seconds to prevent the spices from burning. Remove the pan from the heat and add the grated nutmeg.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Here is one trick to get some of the wheels richer, not that plain and boring: add a groove - two smaller circles, aligned to the center of the gear, filled with the same grey gradient, the larger in an opposite direction, the smaller in the same direction as the rest of the wheel. steel with steel and gold with gold). Now for some axles: small circles, made from gold, steel, ruby or sapphire. Do not forget the drop shadow and consider a white highlight.  They are easy to do: create a steel circle, subtract a rectangle to create the groove, add a darker steel rectangle, the bottom of the groove, rotate the screw to a random angle (we don't want all the screws to have parallel grooves, that would be repeating and boring), fix the gradient and add a drop shadow. Maybe a hole: a larger circle colored with the same gradient as the background but with an opposed orientation. (I increased the zoom level in this step for a clearer illustration)
Summary: To make the image more vivid, try adding some steel gears. Start this by defining the gradient (multi-stop, greys, with a shade of blue). Apply the gradient to some wheels. Put the steel gears in the device (just take care to not couple steel gears with gold gears: Place the axles in the center of the gears and we are set. Add some screws holding the device. Distribute the screws evenly (or randomly if you feel like it) and it's done!

You might think these things can wait until you’ve actually assembled a team. However, “branding” your team right away makes it easier to draw in players. Take into account your prospective player pool and think about what will appeal to them.  Use an online random sports team name generator for a unique name, or grab a dictionary and a thesaurus for some creative inspiration. Rely on your own artistic skills to create a simple team logo, or search online for logo creation sites—you may be able to get a custom design for as little as $50 USD. Choose a team color scheme and uniform style that you think will appeal to your target pool of players. For example, you might choose a name and color pattern that is reminiscent of a popular college or professional sports team in your area. If, for instance, the local college team is the Bears, you might call your youth team the Cubs. Use all methods at your disposal to let potential players (and parents, if it’s a youth team) know about your new team. Utilize your team name, logo, and color scheme as you spread the word.  Use social media to inform potential players and/or parents. Use your personal accounts, but also consider creating “official” team accounts. You may even want to create a team website. Don’t ignore low-tech methods like posting flyers in spots where potential players will see them. For example, you might post flyers for a youth team at the local library and ice cream shop. As you start to sign up interested players, make sure you have good systems in place for collecting key things like contact information and payments (such as registration fees). Set up a spreadsheet, for instance, to keep track of things such as:  Names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of interested players. For youth teams, you'll need information from parents or guardians as well. Completion of registration forms and collection of registration fees. Signups for insurance or insurance waivers (if required by your league). Relevant measurements for uniforms and equipment. As your team roster fills out with players who have signed up, ask for any preferences or restrictions regarding practice times and locations. Accommodate the players as best you can, but also make sure that the practice schedule works well for you.  For a youth team, for example, don't schedule late evening or night practices. You may also have to arrange for carpools with parents. Make sure you’re also aware of any league rules regarding practice times or locations.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sites like Amazon, Cell Phone City and Gazelle usually offer pretty good deals on used or refurbished iPads. There isn't a chance to haggle, but there may be no need if the price is right. Fixed price websites often offer accessories with the iPad to sweeten the deal, when auction sites may not. So you may be getting more bang for your buck if you opt for a site like Amazon. The Apple Store offers refurbished and used iPads for customers on their website, here. Apple has rave reviews about how well their refurbished and used iPads work, but they can be a little more expensive than if you bought from another seller. If you buy through Apple and end up spending a little more money than you would have if you bought from another seller, you'll still be paying less than you would for a brand new iPad — and you'll be paying for quality. Since bidders are the ones who set the price for the iPad, this could give you the opportunity to purchase it for a great deal. The fewer people who bid on the iPad, the more likely you are to buy the iPad for less money. If you're really strapped for cash, this could be the best option. Whether you're picking up a used iPad from someone on Craig's List or if you're getting one at Best Buy, in-person purchases allow you to make sure the iPad is in good condition. Sometimes, you may even be able to haggle down the price if the seller is right in front of you and knows you're looking to buy.

SUMMARY:
Buy from a fixed price website. Buy from Apple. Buy from an auction website like Ebay. Buy from local, in person sellers or big box stores.
