INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Youtube's specialty is, of course, short videos uploaded by users. But there are now a number of full-length movies available to stream on Youtube as well. While Youtube has been expanding into the online rental realm (which requires a fee), there are still some movies (that have been legally uploaded) which you can watch for free on the website. The number of films available may change from time to time, but you can search for a current list of free movies streaming on Youtube. Classics like Night of the Living Dead, Nosferatu, and House on Haunted Hill tend to be consistently available to watch in their entirety for free. There is no shortage of subscription-based websites (like Netflix), but these services charge a monthly fee that can still put a strain on a tight budget. Fortunately there are a number of free services, which generate a profit by selling ad time during online viewings. Two of the most popular ad-supported movie sites are Hulu (which is free to use unless you upgrade to Hulu Plus) and Crackle. These sites are free to use, and often have paid subscription options to cut out commercials or expand the available viewing options. If ad-supported websites don't have the movies you're looking for, try getting a free trial to a subscription-based site. Many of the biggest subscription services, like Netflix and Amazon Prime, offer free trial periods (usually lasting around 30 days). It's not a permanent solution, but it can get you a free month of commercial-free access to some of the biggest online movie streaming services. Just be sure to cancel before the trial period is up, or you will get billed for a subscription.  Amazon Prime's free 30 day trial includes access to over 1,500 movies on Prime Instant Video, as well as other Prime perks like free one-day shipping on all purchases through Amazon. Be aware that in order to enroll in a free trial subscription, you will need to have a credit card to put on file so that the website can begin billing you once your free trial ends. Take note of the subscription site's method of cancellation . You may be able to cancel your subscription through the site or you might have to contact someone from customer service, depending on the site. You may want to cancel it a couple days before your free trial is up just to avoid getting billed.

SUMMARY: Search Youtube. Use an ad-supported website. Get a free trial to subscription sites.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being over-scheduled or overcommitted are major problems for modern teenagers. Oftentimes, a teen will resist beginning or completing a task due to too much stress.  Allow your teenager to decide on his own what commitments are truly important to him. If he's overdone it on after school activities, for example, there's nothing wrong with allowing him to cut back a bit. Loosening up a schedule can allow the flexibility to help your teen stay motivated in regards to what's really important to him. Help your child break down what he needs to do into manageable chunks. This can help combat stress. Say your child has five things to do that day. Break down those five tasks into individual components and help him make a schedule to complete the tasks in order of their importance. Arguing with a teen, or excessive lecturing, often does not pay off. It only increases tension in your household, which can distract your teen and lessen his motivation.  Remember, most people are only willing to listen to advice when they request advice. Your teenager is no different. Rather than repeatedly telling him what he should be doing, wait until he comes to you with a problem. You can also give him the opportunity to ask your for advice. If he seems to be struggling staying on task, say something like, "I see you're having trouble with this subject in school. Is there anything I can do?" Arguments are an inevitable part of any relationship, including your relationship with your teenager. However, you can minimize arguments by taking a break from conversations when things get heated and giving you both a time to cool down. Most people, not just teenagers, find it easier to engage in an activity if it is fun. Finding a way to make work and school enjoyable for your teen can help him stay motivated.  Teenage boys especially respond to competition. Encouraging him to get involved with team sports might help him learn about teamwork, motivation, and self-reliance.  If there's a video game, television show, or movie that can be educational, see if you can get your teen to watch or play it.  Try to get a sense of what your teen enjoys and build fun activities around their personal interests, goals, and ambitions.

SUMMARY: Understand the role of stress. Limit arguing and lecturing. Make things fun.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although it may seem that any glass will do, to enjoy a truly perfect glass of Guinness you must use a tulip glass.  The shape of a tulip glass is perfect for allowing the nitrogen bubbles to circulate from the bottom and back up to the top. Although any size will do, a 16oz glass, otherwise known as a pint, is generally agreed upon as the classic size for the drink. Pour until the glass is about ¾ of the way full, in one slow smooth pour.  Using the 45 degree angle keeps the Guinness from frothing and allows for a better head. Be sure to keep from pouring straight down, as it will create a fisheye in the top of the foam and large unwanted bubbles After pouring, let the Guinness set for a minute or two so the head can develop. The nitrogen bubbles become distressed by the movement of the pour, and will gather in a creamy foam at the top of the drink when allowed time to settle. Fill the glass the rest of the way up, so that a dome effect is created at the top of the glass. Although good on its own, try the beer paired with seafood for a delicious combination.

SUMMARY:
Choose the right glass. Pour the drink into the glass at a 45 degree angle. Let the beer rest. Top the Guinness off. Enjoy your Guinness.
