Problem: Article: You can get a bag of seeds that have already been removed from their shells, but it's more fun to eat the seeds you have to do a little work to extract. Choose from a variety of flavors, like chipotle, pickle or barbecue. Start with just one, so you can get the hang of the technique. It's easier to crack the seed in the side of your mouth than the front. Use your tongue to get it in place. Position it either vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference. Either way, the outside edge of the shell should be making contact with your teeth.  Use your molars (chewing teeth) to crack the shell.  They have an indention in the middle to hold the seed. It's more difficult to use your two front teeth; you risk the seed slipping and scraping your gums. The hull should give easily after a moment of intense pressure. Don't bite so hard you crush it, though. Let it fall onto your tongue. Use your tongue and your teeth to pull them apart.The texture is the key to this step.  The inner, edible seed, will be smooth, while the shell will be rough. After practice, the shell will usually break open like a clam, therefore making this step less messy.
Summary: Get a bag of sunflower seeds. Place a sunflower seed in your mouth. Move the seed to the side of your mouth. Place the seed between your teeth. Apply firm and steady pressure on the seed until it cracks. Release the seed from your teeth. Separate the inner seed from the shell. Spit out the shell pieces. Eat the seed.

Problem: Article: One big indicator that someone is totally into you is by checking to see if that person has reached out to you via social media. This means someone is thinking about you when you are not together and wants to learn more about your personal life. If they send you a text message just to see what you are doing, or texts you all day long, then they probably can't get you off of their mind. Constant communication is a clear sign that they have a crush on you. If someone has a crush on you, they may lightly make fun of you, not to hurt your feelings, but to make you smile. That is a common method of flirtation. Along with teasing, watch for funny conversations. Chances are, they will try to keep conversations light and funny to get you to laugh, if they have a crush on you. It can be hard to tell if someone always tries to look their best, or if it is for you. If you are Facebook friends, try looking at their photos to get a sense of what their appearance is like when you two are not around each other. If it seems that they try to look at their best only around you, then you know they are trying to impress you. If someone stops at a shop you love to buy you a special gift, or surprises you with a little treat, then it is a sign of a crush. They want to make you happy with their small gestures of affection and show you that they care. If someone is always willing to spend time with you and never misses a chance to see you, then you can be sure they have a crush on you. Watch to see if they attend the same parties as you or cancels on other plans to hang out with you. If someone is crushing on you, be ready for compliments about even the smallest changes you make. Someone who likes you will notice when you get a haircut or buy a new pair of shoes, and they will let you know about that new change with a compliment.
Summary: Notice if they follow you on social media. Watch for text messages that don't have any real meaning. Watch for gentle teasing. Look for a cleaned up appearance. Watch for special gifts. See how available they are to you. Pay attention to compliments.

Problem: Article: The corsage color should enhance the outfit without drawing too much attention away from her dress. Avoid choosing a color identical to her dress. Choose a color that will instead highlight her outfit colors. If her dress is pink, for example, look for oranges or reds for a sunset-like effect.  Colors close to her dress on the color wheel (like deeper pink and magenta) make for an aesthetically-pleasing contrast. See if the outfit has an accent color which can be nicely present in the wrist corsage. Context also matters for color. If you're going to a wedding, for example, you will want to avoid a white corsage. Feathers, jewels, sparkles, and bows are all possible add-ons for corsages. Corsage accents should be part of the overarching design rather than draw attention from the flower (or her outfit). Go for one or two accents at most when choosing the design. Any more will distract too much from her dress. Pick the corsage that most fits her personality. If she's chosen a classic, elegant dress, then an understated rose with pearls might work best. But if she likes to stand out, a corsage with plenty of ribbons and sparkles might work best. A corsage your date loves will boost her confidence for the entire evening. Ask her to tell you if she has any preferences. Keep an eye out for the flowers she loves when you're ordering her corsage, or ask the florist if they could make a specialized order. Ask your date if she has any specific flower allergies.
Summary: Complement her dress color rather than match it exactly. Pick corsage accessories that accentuate the flower. Choose a simple or bold corsage based on her dress style. Talk to your date about her favorite flowers.

Problem: Article: Immediately after an injury to your ear that causes swelling, stop your activity and apply ice (or something cold) in order to reduce the inflammation and numb the pain. The ice will reduce the flow of blood into the space between the skin and cartilage of your upper ear. Apply the cold therapy for about 10 minutes at a time, every hour or so, for about three to four hours from the time of the injury.  Wrap the ice cubes, crushed ice or frozen gel pack in a thin cloth before applying it to your ear in order to prevent frostbite or skin irritation. As an alternative, use a small bag of frozen vegetables or fruit to combat the swelling of your ear. In addition to applying ice to your swollen ear, wrap a Tensor or Ace bandage around your head so you feel pressure against your ear.The combination of cold therapy and compression is the most effective way to combat swelling of virtually all musculoskeletal injuries. Pressure can stop the internal bleeding faster, thereby reducing the severity of the cauliflower deformity.  You can also use a long strip of gauze or an elastic exercise band to compress the ice against your ear. Consider wedge packing some gauze in front of and behind your ear before wrapping it with a stretchy bandage to increase the pressure on it. Do not wrap the gauze so tightly that it causes a headache or dizziness or cuts off circulation, as blood flow is necessary to carry away excess fluid. You should also avoid wrapping it in a way that causes the gauze to block your vision or reduce hearing in your uninjured ear. Remove the bandage once every hour to let your ear rest. Another method of reducing swelling and the pain of a cauliflower ear is to take over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, such as ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin or naproxen (Aleve). Take them as soon as possible after your injury for best results. Combine them with cold therapy and compression also.  Painkillers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) are obviously helpful for pain, but they don't reduce swelling at all. Aspirin and ibuprofen can increase and worsen internal bleeding, so ask your doctor if anti-inflammatories are appropriate for your case. Don't take anti-inflammatories for longer than two weeks in order to reduce side effects, such as stomach and kidney irritation. For cauliflower ear, a couple of days of medication is probably sufficient.
Summary:
Apply ice. Use a head wrap to compress your injured ear. Take anti-inflammatories.
