In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Instead of water, add 3 bottles of ale or beer to the pot. Drop in 6 lemon halves, as well as a head of garlic split in half. Let it come to a boil, and boil the crab for 5 minutes before removing it with tongs. Discard the beer, lemon, and garlic when you're done. You can add sliced lemons or even a few sliced oranges or limes to the pot before you start boiling it. Just cut the citrus in half or quarters, and throw it in the pot as-is. Aim for 1-2 citrus fruits per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of crab. Make sure to wash the citrus thoroughly before throwing it in the pot. You can purchase crab or shrimp boil seasoning in the store. Then, just toss it in before you get the water boiling. This seasoning works especially well if you want to boil potatoes, corn, and sausage before throwing in the crab. Make your own crab boil seasoning with 8 bay leaves, 3 tablespoons (16 g) of coriander seeds, 4 tablespoons (22 g) of mustard seeds, 2 tablespoons (11 g), of whole allspice, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of whole cloves, 2 tablespoons (13 g) of dill seeds, and 1 tablespoon (5 g) of crushed red pepper flakes. Use the whole amount for 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of crabs or a combination of crabs and other food. Bay leaves are a fairly common spice for crab. Add 2-3 leaves before the water starts to boil. You can also throw in 10-20 whole peppercorns for a bit of added kick. You can add these in addition to other seasonings.
Summary: Replace the water with beer, lemon, and garlic. Add citrus to the water. Use crab boil or cajun seasoning. Throw in a couple of bay leaves and a handful of black peppercorns.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Poor visibility is extremely dangerous while driving, especially in winter, so it's important to ensure that your windshield wipers are in good working condition.  Old blades are prone to cracking, tearing or simply not working when faced with the icy precipitation that's beating against your windshield. Examine yours to see whether the rubber is cracked or frayed, and keep in mind that wiper blades are supposed to be replaced every 6 to 12 months. You could also consider buying wiper blades specifically designed for winter weather.  Fill the windshield washer reservoir with fresh washer fluid. Some washer fluids have a defroster additive and a lower freezing temperature,  making them a good choice for the cold winter months. Maintaining the correct tire pressure for your vehicle is very important during the winter months. Deflated tires have decreased traction, making them more prone to slipping on icy surfaces.  Keep in mind that your tire pressure will be affected by the decrease in temperature — in fact, for every 10 degree F drop in temperature, the air pressure in your tires will be reduced by about 1 PSI. Therefore, it's important to keep an eye on your tires throughout the winter months.  Use a tire gauge to see if your tires meet the standards set for your vehicle. If you're not familiar with the proper level for your vehicle, check the inside edge of your driver's side door frame. There should be a sticker there that indicates several things, including suggested tire pressure.  If you do not have a tire gauge, you can usually find one at your local gas station, where you can also fill your tires with air. This is usually free or costs very little. While checking the air pressure, it's also important to check how your tires are wearing. If they need replacing or rotating, do this before winter weather hits. A waxed surface repels snow, dirt and salt better than a non-waxed one. It will help your car look better and protect the paint.  Before you apply the wax, make sure to give the car a thorough wash. Don't forget to rinse the underside of the car to remove any sand or salt residue. Try to wax the car before the first snowfall hits, or before the temperature drops below 55 °F (13 °C). This will protect the paint, while also making any snow or ice easier to brush off. While you're at it, now is a good time to clean the inside of your car. Remove any clutter, vacuum the floor and seats and use an upholstery cleaner if necessary. You may also want to replace the carpeted floor mats with some water-resistant ones, to protect your floors from melted ice and snow. As mentioned above, having good visibility is very important, especially on the dark winter evening.  However, it's not only important that you can see, it's also imperative that you can be seen. This is why ensuring that your lights are in proper working order is essential. Get somebody to help you do a visual check on all of the exterior lights on your car — including your headlights, taillights, backup lights and signal lights (including hazards and brake lights). You should also be aware that the lights will be greater burden on your vehicle's electrical system in the winter, due to shorter and darker days. You'll need to take this into consideration when testing your battery.
Summary: Replace your windshield wipers and wiper fluid. Check the tire pressure on all of your tires. Give your car a good coat of wax before winter weather arrives. Make sure your lights are working.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will want to wash your shoes, laces, and insoles separately as this will cut down on the drying time later. You can, however, wash your laces with your shoes in the washing machine, but doing so with your insoles will leave them water-logged for days. If your laces are real scuzzy, you may want to buy new ones, but you can always try cleaning them by scrubbing them with a soapy brush or putting them in the washing machine with your shoes. Then allow them to air dry completely before putting them on your shoes again.  Another way to clean your laces is to simply put or pin them inside a pillowcase, or tie their ends together, and throw them in the washer. This will keep them from getting stuck in the washer's drainage holes.  If the laces are white and the shoes are colored, to get the laces as bright as possible you could wash them separately in a normal wash along with other white laundry. Powdered detergent can get stuck in your shoes, so use liquid detergent. You can also add some vinegar to remove odors and some pine oil to disinfect them. If you add pine oil, the product should be at least 80% pine oil. Set your washing machine to the delicate setting, cold temperature, slow or no spin, and no tumble drying. Warm temperatures can warp your sneakers, and the fast spin or tumble dry setting can damage your shoes or washing machine. Once the washing machine has stopped, remove your shoes from the pillowcase and set them aside to air dry. Putting them in the dryer is not advisable, as the dryer can warp the soles of your shoes.  Stuffing your shoes with paper towels or newspapers will help them dry faster as well as maintain their shape.  Place your shoes (and laces and insoles) in a moderately lit place to dry. Do not put them somewhere hot (e.g. near a radiator) or in direct sunlight, as this may damage the shoes. It may take several hours or even a couple days for your shoes to dry completely, so plan ahead!  If you're in a rush and need to use the dryer, wrap your shoes in a towel and set the dryer to "delicate," checking periodically to make sure your shoes are not getting too warm.
Summary:
Remove the laces and insoles. Clean your laces. Add liquid detergent. Set and run the washing machine. Remove and air-dry your shoes.
