Article: Pokopom supports only controller input and can utilize features like rumble and pressure sensitive input. Pokopom will also support guitar-style controllers like those used with the Guitar Hero games. Go to http://pcsx2.net/download.html and choose the installer for your platform. Upon launching the program you will be greeted with the first time setup. By default your system language is chosen. Press “Next” to proceed to the plugin configuration. PAD is the second menu in the list of plugins. This is located to the right of the PAD menu and will open a list of options for setting up the Pokopom plugin. Select a radio from the “Xinput Controller” section in the upper left. This value only needs to be changed if you are connecting multiple gamepads to your computer.  Xinput allows automatic emulation of a PS2 controller using a and Xbox360 pad. The buttons will be automatically mapped to the corresponding locations on a PS2 controller.  Xinput is bundled with Pokopom and does not need to be downloaded separately. For minor remapping, you can select the “Swap [X] [O] buttons in the “Misc” category to switch those two functions. From the “Left Stick” and “Right Stick” sections in the lower right, you can change the left/right and x/y axes associated with each direction of both analog sticks. Typically axis settings can be adjusted in game, so only make a change here if you want that setting consistent through all games and menu functions. Move the “Deadzone” slider to the right to increase the amount of space that will ignore input when moving the analog stick. To the left will decrease.  You can also use the “Anti-Deadzone” slider to have the emulator software try to override deadzones already implemented into games. Each analog stick utilizes separate Deadzone sliders. Move the rumble slider near the top of the window to the left to decrease intensity, and to the right to increase it.  You must be using a rumble-supported gamepad in order to utilize this feature. This feature will not force rumble in games that do not support it. This will reset all of your changes back to the original settings. Since bindings cannot be adjusted, these do not need to be changed again. Select “Controller 2” in the upper left and repeat the previous steps as necessary in order to play multiplayer games. This will save your controller configurations and close the window.

Article: Dab a small amount of liquid laundry detergent to the mud stains with clean fingers or a damp cloth. If you have powdered detergent on hand, mix the detergent with some water to create a paste that you can apply to the mud. The laundry detergent helps to break up the mud and makes it easier for it to come out in the wash. Look for a stain remover made for use on mud and dirt stains at your local supermarket or online. Apply the stain remover directly to the mud with clean fingers or a damp cloth and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Stain remover is a good option if the mud is really caked on and is very thick. If the clothes are covered all over in mud and it is difficult for you to spot remove the stains, place the clothes in a clean plastic bin or the tub. Then, put 2-4 drops of detergent in the tub with warm water. Let the clothes soak for 30 minutes, or overnight, depending on how muddy they are. If the clothing is made of fabric in light colors like white, you may not want to soak them, as this can expose the fabric to the brown pigment in the mud. Pretreat the clothing with detergent or a stain remover instead.

Article: Dandelions grow wild and you can easily harvest their seeds when the plant is in the seed phase. This is when the top of the plant looks like a puffball. Each of the little feathery strands has a seed attached to it, so you can collect these in a bag or other small container and take them home for planting. If you prefer to purchase dandelion seeds, then check your local garden center or look for seeds online. Wild dandelion greens may have a bitter taste, while cultivated dandelion greens will not be as bitter. Dandelions do best when they have full sunlight for a large part of the day, so choose a sunny location in your garden or plan to place potted dandelions in a sunny window. Try going out in your yard a few times throughout the day to scope out the sunniest spot.  For example, you could go outside at 8 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm and note where the sun is at by placing a few rocks on the edges of where the sun is shining. If you will mainly be using dandelions for their leaves, then growing them in partial shade is a better option. This will help to reduce the bitterness of the leaves and the number of flowers it produces. The dandelion seed will need to be 6 inches (15 cm) apart for flowers and 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) apart for greens. Flowers will need more room than baby dandelion greens because they will have deeper roots. Measure the distance between your seeds to ensure that they will have plenty of room.  Leave the seeds uncovered if you are planting indoors. You will not need to worry about the seeds getting blown out. Dandelions do best in a shallow bed. Do not plant your dandelions in an area with poor drainage or a tightly packed soil, such as clay. Use a garden fork to loosen the soil before you plant if it is tightly packed. Use a loosely packed potting soil with added compost as the growing medium. Dandelions need a lot of water to thrive, so plan to water them regularly. However, do not water them too much. Water just enough so that the soil feels moist. Check the soil by poking your finger into it once every 2 to 3 days. If the soil feels moist, then they do not need water yet. If it feels dry, then give them some water.

Gather or purchase some seeds. Choose a sunny location to grow your dandelions. Sow the seeds for flowers or greens. Water the dandelions regularly.
