In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Whether you’re a beard-styling expert or this is you're first time growing a beard, your face is your canvas - start fresh. Have a clean shave and then wait a week for your hair to even out. Your face is ready for the Van Dyke when your stubble has grown out to about ¼ inch.  For some people it may take more than a week for the hair to grow back in. If you’re patient, you’ll be rewarded with a better-looking Van Dyke. If you’re reluctant to start from scratch, you can create the Van Dyke from facial hair that already exists. However, it’s much more difficult to control the final outcome when you aren’t working with fresh hair. Go ahead and apply it all over your chin, above your lip, and up to your sideburns. Begin by shaving your sideburns and cheeks. Start near your ears and remove your sideburns, as well as most of the hair on your cheeks, leaving approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) to both sides of your mouth. Shave the hair from the bottom and sides of your neck, stopping just above your Adam’s apple. Leave your moustache and soul patch intact. The end result is what’s called a “circle beard,” a still common style that was popular in the 1990s. Wash away any excess hair or shaving cream. The precision work is about to begin, and you need to be able to see what you’re doing. At this point, it’s helpful to use just enough shaving cream to guide your razor, without covering up all your hair. Carefully trim the hair from your neck until you are left with a small, neat beard, resembling a goatee. Scissors or an electric razor will help you control the overall shape and definition of your chin hairs. Classically, the Van Dyke beard is somewhat pointed; wax will help your hair retain its shape. Leave the skin around your soul patch (if you grow one) completely smooth. Measure twice, cut once, as a single errant swipe could force you to start all over again. Like the chin beard, the classic Van Dyke mustache is pointed and very neat. Make sure you didn’t miss any visible hairs. Run your hand over your cheeks and around your beard to feel for rough spots, and go back over any you find with a razor.
Summary: Start with a clean-shaven face. Apply shaving cream. Make a circle beard. Rinse off your face. Create a neat  goatee. Disconnect your mustache from your chin beard. Trim your moustache using scissors or a beard trimmer. Wash your face again.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You made a choice to do it (or not do it). It comes right back to your impulsive actions or willful inaction, your failure to respect her and your relationship and your willingness to hurt in to pursue something else that you felt mattered only to you. Whether you've had an affair, embezzled the household savings, committed harm against her, sullied her reputation, or whatever, the same issue lies at the heart of your actions––you made a bad choice and you lacked respect. You must truly want to restore what you had or at least start over. If you feel compelled to do so out of reasons beyond your own wishes (such as being pressured by family or social obligations), then it is possible you haven't learned your lesson and whatever you did will only rear its head again later. Instead, you must want to restore what you both had because it matters to you. You cannot gain back another person's trust when you feel compelled to lay any, some or all of the "blame" on that other person. Telling your wife that she seemed "too busy, too preoccupied, too bored, too shopping addicted, whatever", you are just making excuses for your behavior. This isn't about how she was failing to meet your expectations; you've destroyed her expectations of you, so this is all about rebuilding a broken foundation. Do not make it seem as if she was the cause, in any way. If you do that, she won't see your attempts to regain trust as genuine. End the affair, get a job to repay the lost funds, get counseling for your violent tendencies, get counseling for your sexual addition or pornography usage, etc. Whatever the problem, seek out and actually put in place the solution needed to stop the reason for the breach of trust. Without this positive sign of your willingness to make changes, she won't have any reason to trust that you have changed and are setting forth a new course. Cease all involvement with anyone that has been an issue. Even if you've been the flirty type when interacting with others, keep the flirting to a minimum. Explain what you have done, why you accept the blame for what you have done and set forth exactly what it is that you are now doing to restore her faith in you. This will require courageous honesty on your behalf, as well as a willingness to listen to what she has to say in return. She will probably have a lot to say but even if all she does is listen, respect her choice of reaction and simply be there for her. You cannot fix "her" feelings––she is entitled to them, so listen and learn. Let her know every day that you have time to listen to anything she has to say. No interruption or arguments about what's being said; just listen.
Summary: Acknowledge that you have lost your wife's trust because of something you did (or did not do). Consider whether you really want to regain your wife's trust. Be prepared to accept your wrongdoing. Deal with whatever you did wrong. Talk to your wife.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set a timer and wait for 2 minutes as the debris settles to the bottom of the bucket. The clay will stay suspended in the water. It’s okay if there’s a thin layer of water on top of the muddy clay water. Empty the contents of the first bucket onto the ground or into a trash can. Then, use a water hose or tap to rinse out the bucket until it’s clean. Don’t worry about soaping up the bucket. You’re just going to use it to rinse the clay again. At this point, the clay should be very watery. Set the bucket uncovered in a place it won’t be disturbed. Then, let it sit for at least 8 hours so that the water can evaporate away. Your clay will still be really runny after it sits out overnight. Open the fabric and lay the clay out on the ground. Use your hand to spread out the clay over the fabric so it suns evenly. Check the clay every 6-8 hours during daylight to see if it feels like it’s ready for pottery. Expect it to take about a day to reach the right consistency. It’s okay to start using your clay for pottery as soon as you’re happy with the consistency.
Summary:
Let the water settle for 2 minutes so debris will come out. Dump the debris and rinse out the bucket. Leave the bucket of clay-water to dry overnight. Leave your clay in the sun until it reaches your desired consistency.
