Q: Local television news programs often give morning and afternoon traffic reports to help commuters. Some locations also have dedicated traffic radio. Tune into these before you get in the car. If it sounds like traffic is backed up on your normal route, take one of your alternatives. Many GPS systems have built-in traffic flow monitoring. These can alert you when a route is affected by a traffic jam. Some can even automatically change your route to a clearer one. Check the instructions for your model to see what capabilities it has, and how to set up the traffic monitoring features. The navigation tools built into most smartphones have the ability to detect traffic problems, much like dedicated GPS devices. There are also apps like Waze that you can install and use to help avoid traffic jams.  Traffic apps may have special features like real time camera feeds to view traffic conditions, or social features to help you connect with other drivers and learn about various routes. If you just your phone to help avoid traffic jams, be sure not to check it while you are actually driving. Cities that have freeways often devote one of the lanes to High Occupancy Vehicles (HOVs), or ones that have at least two people riding in them (including the driver). These almost always have fewer cars, which means less congestion. Give the HOV lane a chance and see if it helps you avoid jams. Most destinations in busy locations can be reached by several ways. Before you go, look up several routes, including the fastest, the shortest, and alternatives that may take you down side-streets. You can take one of the alternatives if you expect a traffic jam, saving you time and stress.  Use maps or apps to research possible routes. You can also ask other people which routes they take to avoid traffic congestion.
A: Listen to traffic reports before you begin your journey. Put your GPS to work. Use traffic apps. Don’t fear the HOV lane. Learn several ways to reach your destination.

Q: If your reed is cracked or if you have been using it for a while, switch to a new reed. Having a high quality reed will help to improve the tone of your sax. Make sure to store your reeds properly in a case to help make them last longer. The position of your lips when you say the word “victory” is the correct position for playing jazz sax. Say “victory” and notice how your lips and teeth are positioned when you make the “v” sound. Position your lips and teeth in this way when you play the saxophone. You can also say “F” for the proper lip and teeth positioning. This will help the air to flow freely from your mouth and into the mouthpiece when you play. If you don't have to burp, just pretend to burp to get the throat opening effect. Notice how this feels so that you can replicate it while you play. Having a comfortable neck strap will help to improve your posture when you play, and this can allow you to create more powerful notes and improve your tone overall. Choose a strap that allows you to stand up straight and feels comfortable around your neck and shoulders.
A: Use a good quality reed whenever you play. Say “victory” to achieve the proper lip position. Burp to open up your throat right before you play. Get a good neck strap.

Q: This will depend on the type of refrigerator you have, and what its model and identification information says.  Check the owner’s manual. If you can’t find your owner’s manual, go online and research what it says. Go to a hardware store or manufacturer service center, and tell them the refrigerator information. Store personnel should be able to help you find the right gasket. Check the door seal size. Measure your door. You could also research the gasket on the website of the manufacturer. Be aware that if the door liner beneath the seal is cracked, you will need a new liner as well as seal (gasket). It’s a good idea to put the new gasket in warm water for a few moments before installing it.  Before you remove the old one, shut off the power to the refrigerator.  This process will make it easier for you to install the new gasket. You also might find it easier to level the refrigerator if it seems off balance. Some people even remove the refrigerator door to install the gasket, but this is not mandatory.  You won’t need a lot of equipment, but you will need what is called a hex head screwdriver. You can find these at most hardware stores. If you are confused what it is, just ask a salesperson and tell him or her the purpose. You should turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise.
A: Research the right gasket to buy. Prepare the new gasket while you’re removing the old one.
