Q: Cut the butter into small cubes first, then put it into a small saucepan. Place the saucepan onto the stove, and turn the heat up to medium. Wait for the butter to melt, stirring it occasionally. Stir the butter and flour constantly as it's cooking to prevent scorching. Stir the sauce as you pour the milk so that it blends in. Once you have the milk stirred in, place the saucepan back onto the stove, and set the heat back to medium. Cook the sauce until it comes to a boil. Stir it often. Take the saucepan off the stove, and stir in part of the cheese. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan from time to time to ensure that everything mixes in evenly. Save the remaining ½ cup (50 grams) of cheese for later. If you have not already done so, wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them as thinly as your can. Spread a third of them across the bottom of your dish, overlapping the edges slightly. Repeat the potato, salt, pepper, and sauce layers two more times. Spread it as evenly as you can over the top of your potatoes. When the cheese bakes, it will form a melted, crusty layer on top. They are ready when they turn tender and golden. If the top of your potatoes start to burn, cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil; this will allow the potatoes to continue baking without getting burnt. They are a great size dish for just about any meat dish. They are also easily transported, making them perfect for picnics, potlucks, and parties.
A: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, then cook it for about 2 minutes, or until it starts to bubble. Take the saucepan off the stove, then slowly stir in the milk. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil. Stir in 1½ cups (150 grams) of cheese. Spread a third of your potatoes across the bottom of the dish. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then pour a third of the cheese sauce over them. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake the potatoes, uncovered, for 1 hour. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before serving them.

Q: Your body can more easily absorb and utilize natural forms of vitamin E. The synthetic version of vitamin E is called tocopherol acetate. This form may react with some beauty products, so it is best to choose a natural form of vitamin E oil, which you can find in a health food store, the vitamin aisle of a well-stocked grocery store, or online. Some food grade oils contain vitamin E as well, such as wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, and almond oil. Look on the packaging for d-alpha tocopherol, d-alpha tocopheryl acetate, or d-alpha tocopheryl succinate. Some people are sensitive to vitamin E oil, so it is a good idea to test a little on your skin before using it on your hair. You can also develop a sensitivity to vitamin E oil over time, so pay attention to how the skin on your scalp looks and feels after a few days of using vitamin E oil. To test the oil, apply 1-2 drops to the inside of your wrist and then massage it in. Wait 24 hours and then check your wrist to see how it looks. If there is any redness, dryness, itching or swelling, do not use the oil. If the area looks and feels normal, then you can use the oil. Vitamin E has been shown to be effective at promoting hair growth when taken as an oral supplement. Try taking two 50 mg capsules of vitamin E oil daily after eating a meal. For example, you could take one capsule after breakfast and the other one after dinner.  As with any supplement, make sure that you check with your doctor first. Incorporate additional natural sources of vitamin E into your diet, too. Try nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, and plant oils, especially wheat germ and sunflower seed oil. You will get more vitamins from eating foods that are naturally high in vitamin E than taking a supplement. Vitamins E and C go well together because, in tandem, they are more effective at protecting hair and skin from damaging ultraviolet radiation. If you're taking topical vitamin E, you should take topical vitamin C. Similarly, if you take oral vitamin E, you should take oral vitamin C. These two will be more effective than either on their own.
A: Choose a natural form of vitamin E oil. Test the oil on your skin before using. Consider taking a vitamin E supplement to promote hair growth. Consider adding vitamin C.

Q: Extending from any knot are two “arms.”  Grab one of these arms and start turning it.  You can turn it clockwise or counterclockwise.  The number of times you’ll need to turn it depends on the tightness of the knot.  The arms of very tight knots will need to be turned more than knots that are merely tight. Once you’ve turned one arm of the knot several times, push it through the heart of the knot using your hands.  Start as close as you can to the knot itself, since the further from the knot you begin, the less leverage you will have. If you find that you cannot push the turned end through, twist it in the same direction several more times, then try to push it through. Once you’ve pushed a bit of the knotted material through the tight loop, pull it apart from the other side.  If the knot is still tight, wiggle the bit you pushed through from side to side.  This should enable you to bring it through the rest of the way.  As you pull, the whole knot should loosen up even more.
A: Twist one end of the knot. Push the turned end through the knot. Pull the knot apart.

Q: Set the bottom of the window in first and lift the rest of the window up into place. To secure the window, butt the exterior window frame up against the opening blind stops. Do this from the interior wall side, and take care not to push the window clear out the other side of the wall. Make sure that the sashes are still locked when you set the window in place. The replacement window may not sit flat in the window hole as once you’ve set it in place. To determine if it’s level, set a level on the top of the lower sash and look to see if the indicator bubble floats to the center of the tube. Even if the window looks level, it may be off-kilter to a very slight degree. If you don’t have a level, purchase one at a local hardware store. The tool resembles a metal bar that’s roughly 18 inches (46 cm) long. Shims are nearly flat pieces of wood that slightly raise the level of one side of the window. If the installed window doesn’t cleanly open and close or if it’s not level, place 1 shim at a time beneath the low side to raise it up. To secure the frame, also place shims at the middle of the frame and at the middle of the top and bottom sashes. Once the shims are in place and the window is square and opens and closes smoothly, snap off the shim stems. This will prevent the frame from becoming warped when you tighten the screws through the window and into the frame. Place shims directly behind the jamb where each screw will be inserted. When you insert the screws, they’ll pass directly through the shims. If the ends of the shims stick out once you’ve screwed the window into place, snap them off.
A:
Set the replacement window into the frame opening. Use a level tool to ensure that the window is level. Insert shims beneath the window until it sits flat and opens smoothly. Install shims behind screw holes.
