INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour nails or screws into a sock, and hit the wood until it reaches your desired level of distress. Soft strikes with a hammer will create small divots in the wood, while a mallet will make wider impressions. This will remove areas of stain and give the wood a rough texture, as is likely to occur in a natural setting over time. If you want to give your wood the appearance of having been eaten by worms over many decades, you can try to give it wormholes yourself. Hammer or screw the drywall nails into the 2x4 completely so that their ends stick through the bottom of your makeshift hammer. Next, strike the piece of wood with your wormhole hammer repeatedly, creating small puncture marks. To create a more interesting wormhole pattern, be sure to hammer your drywall screws into the 2x4 in an irregular pattern. Turn the wormhole hammer around and strike your wood at different angles to create a more natural looking effect.

SUMMARY: Distress wood with nails in a sock. Hit the wood with a hammer or mallet. Rub the wood with sandpaper. Make "wormholes" with drywall screws hammered into a 2x4.

The leaves of collard greens should be a very dark green. However, the leaves will have light colored veins and stems. The leaves of collard greens can have almost a waxy finish, which is a natural way they deter insects. Good collard greens are firm and crisp. Firmness will show you that the collard greens are relatively fresh and that they have been stored properly in the store, as well as while being transported from the field to the store. Pick up the greens and bend them a little bit. They should be firm and not floppy. Discoloration is a sign that the collard greens are past their prime. Even though you may be stewing the greens, buying collard greens that are discolored will result in a sub-par finished product. In a bunch of collard greens there may be one or two leaves that were slightly damaged and thus are a bit discolored. It's also not uncommon to have a few holes in collard greens due to hungry bugs. If the majority of the leaves look good, however, then the collards are probably just fine to purchase.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is important to find and use your preferred stance to balance on a skateboard. The two main positions that skateboarders use are called regular and goofy. Try out both positions to see what feels the most natural to you. If your left foot is forward, or you are facing to the right you are in the position called "regular". If your right foot is forward, or you are facing to the left you are in the position called "goofy". Make sure that when you stand on the skateboard, your feet are positioned just behind the bolts. This is the best way to position your feet for good balance. Placing your feet in the middle of the board will not give you as much control and it also makes it easier to break your board. The bolts are what is securing your skateboard’s wheels to the board, so your feet should be just behind the wheels on your board. Before you try to balance while riding your skateboard, start by balancing on your skateboard while it is standing still. The easiest way to keep your skateboard from moving around too much is to place it on some carpet or grass. Then, stand on your skateboard and work on your balance.  You can also try placing an object in front of and behind the wheels on your skateboard to keep it from moving around too much. Try placing a block of wood on either side of your skateboard, or position the board between two cinder blocks. If you still find it difficult to stand on the board even when it is not moving, then you might try holding onto a railing or a wall to steady yourself and work up to standing on the board without holding onto anything.

SUMMARY:
Determine your preferred stance. Place your feet just behind the bolts. Stand on your skateboard on carpet or grass.
