Before you actually try your kit, you should read on how to remove spots for some general good tips that you will need to know. Let's spend a few minutes using the kit you have just made and doing some spot removal practise. Practise is what makes perfect, and here is your chance to exercise your newly aquired abilities to be a good spot remover. If you have not yet made up the spotting kit you can just skip over this section, but do not wait too long. Because you may put it off until when you really need it, and then your efforts will be made haphazardly.

What I would like you to do is get a scrap piece of carpet. Get a piece from your attic or basement, or even buy a small square runner of some sort to practise on.

Preferably, get a piece that is light in colour, so you can have a more challenging example to work on.Get some coffee or tea with milk and sugar init and dump half a cup onto the carpet, near the edge. You will have to section the piece off because we will be using several soil examples. Next, get some grease or motor oil and rub a little onto the next section. On the third section, mash some jam or jelly into the carpet. On the forth section, get a freshly chewed piece of gum or get some tar and stick it well onto the fibres. Then get a beverage like cola and pour a good amount onto a small section so that it penetrates the carpet well. On the last section get some wet mud and rub it well into the carpet. Let all of these things dry and set for a day or two.

So now you have coffee, grease, stuck food gum/tar, large liquid and mud. Now, lets practise. Get your kit ready. Let's take our first example, the coffee. Spary on a small amount of general detergent onto the entire affected area and slightly beyond it. Agitate it gently with your blunt knife so the product penetrates. Get one of your small towels and blot the area, press it on well. Now look at the towel. Is there any transfer of coffee? If so, then you are on your way to removing it. If you need more strength, just apply the acid detergent and repeat the process. After you are through, apply your rinse water and get all of the products out. Good.

Hopefully that should have been easy for you. If any colouration remains, just apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide with a sponge to the affected area and leave it. Chances are it will go away with one or two applications.

Next, the grease. The first thing I want you to do is apply a small portion of the solventspotter to the grease and let it sit for a few minutes. With a towel, work the spotter into the spot and use a gentle rubbing action and you should see some of it transferring to the towel. Repeat this process as much as necessary until you get it to the furthest you can. Then, apply the alkaline detergent and work it in the same manner until gone. Finallt rinse with fresh water, blot dry. Easr? If not, repeat.

Now the jam or jelly. These usually come out pretty easily with just a real small amount of general detergent and really hot water. Run hot water over the spray bottle with general detergent in it and get it good and hot inside. Apply a small amount to the area, work it slowly with your blunt knife and it should easily loosen. Repeat if necessary. Wipe off with your towel and rinse with fresh water.

Now the gum. Try to loosen the gum as best as possible with your blunt knife. If it persists, make some indentations in it and apply your solvent spotter in small amounts. Let it sit and it will loosen the gum. Work it off slowly onto a towel. Apply your general detergent and fresh water as above, towel dry.

Large liquid spills.For cola or similar beverage, use your general detergent and see what you can get to transfer onto a towel. Then apply fresh water in a heavier amount and blot the spot by standing on the towel. This usually will remove a fair amount of it. Remember that larger spills usually wick up a bit after cleaning, so apply a fair amount of your baking soda to it, let dry a day and vacuum. Repeat if necessary the whole procedure if it remains the next day.

Mud. Mud is easy because once it dries you can usually aggressively vacuum the area and remove a real good amount of it. After you do that, just use either your general detergent or alkaline detergent. Doing this will loosen the rest and more than likely take care of the whole spot.

In this chapter we’re going to use regular sticks to design something attractive for your decor.

I’m not going to provide you with complete instructions, but instead just guide you through the creation process so you can design your own unique project.

First you’ll need to collect some sticks that are from % inch to 1/4 inch in diameter. You’ll want some Elmer’s school glue, tape, a sharp knife and cardboard as well.

Paint is optional but not needed.

Once you have gathered your materials, sit back for a bit and think of what you would like to create using your sticks.

Maybe you’d like to make an attractive picture frame, a dollhouse, a chest for holding treasures, a tee pee, a chair for bugs to sit in, it doesn’t matter.

Just spend time thinking about what you would like to create, and write down the things that interest you the most.

Once you’ve decided what you’d like to create, then sit back and think of the best way to turn your sticks into your wonderful work of art.

You can use the cardboard as backing if needed, to glue your sticks onto, or you can use other materials, like string, to hold them together, it doesn’t matter.

If you decided to make a picture frame, then this will be quite easy. You can just glue sticks onto a regular frame, or you can make a frame from your cardboard into any shape that you like (stars, heart, tree etc.).

Maybe you just want to make little ornaments for your Christmas tree. Two sticks crossed makes a lovely cross several sticks can make a nice star. You can easily design a wide range of ornaments to be used on trees or to attach to gifts as keepsake tags.

If you want to make something a bit more complex, like a 3 story dollhouse then you will of course need to take more time in thought before designing your project.

In order for a relationship to be satisfying those involved in it must set clear goals for it. Most people go into relationships with a vague idea of what they want out of it. When pressed, they often are unable to specify their goals for the relationship in the long term.

Goals can be stated or written, but they should be agreed upon by the partners at the beginning of the relationship.

Relationship goals sometimes are dictated by behavior. However, for a relationship to work, the goals stated should be only those on which both partners can agree.

The relationship goal should be kept in a safe place and reviewed annually as our needs tend to change annually. During the annual review the goals can be modified, and the objectives to be achieved for the next year can be identified.

Relationship goals should be long term, but they should be general enough to give the partners enough latitude to be satisfying and easy to achieve. Annual objectives based on these goals can be more specific and short term, motivating the partners to successfully achieving them within the year.

Relationship goals should be developed to cover key issues involved in the relationship, but they can cover any area of human behavior. In order to best know how and what goals need to be set, you have to ask yourself a variety of questions to get to know yourself and your partner.

Having considered, as thoroughly as the limited space available permitted, the matter of plant foods, we must proceed to the equally important one of how properly to set the table, on or rather in, which they must be placed, before the plants can use them.

As was noted in the first part of the preceding chapter, most tillable soils contain the necessary plant food elements to a considerable extent, but only in a very limited degree in available forms. They are locked up in the soil larder, and only after undergoing physical and chemical changes may be taken up by the feeding roots of plants. They are unlocked only by the disintegration and decomposition of the soil particles, under the influence of cultivation--or mechanical breaking up--and the access of water, air and heat.

The great importance of the part the soil must play in every garden operation is therefore readily seen. In the first place, it is required to furnish all the plant food elements--some seven in number, beside the three, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potassium, already mentioned. In the second, it must hold the moisture in which these foods must be either dissolved or suspended before plant roots can take them up.

The soil is naturally classified in two ways: first, as to the amount of plant food contained; second, as to its mechanical condition--the relative proportions of sand, decomposed stone and clay, of which it is made up, and also the degree to which it has been broken up by cultivation.

The approximate amount of available plant food already contained in the soil can be determined satisfactorily only by experiment. As before stated, however, almost without exception they will need liberal manuring to produce good garden crops. I shall therefore not go further into the first classification of soils mentioned.

Of soils, according to their variation in mechanical texture, I shall mention only the three which the home gardener is likely to encounter. Rocks are the original basis of all soils, and according to the degree of fineness to which they have been reduced, through centuries of decomposition by air, moisture and frost, they are known as gravelly, sandy or clayey soils.

CLAY SOILS are stiff, wet, heavy and usually "cold." For garden purposes, until properly transformed, they hold too much water, are difficult to handle, and are "late." But even if there be no choice but a clay soil for the home garden, the gardener need not be discouraged. By proper treatment it may be brought into excellent condition for growing vegetables, and will produce some sorts, such as celery, better than any warm, light, "garden" soil. The first thing to do with the clay soil garden, is to have it thoroughly drained. For the small amount of ground usually required for a home garden, this will entail no great expense. Under ordinary conditions, a half-acre garden could be under-drained for from $25 to $50--probably nearer the first figure.

The drains--round drain tile, with collars--should be placed at least three feet deep, and if they can be put four, it will be much better. The lines should be, for the former depth, twenty to thirty feet apart, according to character of the soil; if four feet deep, they will accomplish just as much if put thirty to fifty feet apart--so it pays to put them in deep. For small areas 2-1/2-inch land tile will do. The round style gives the best satisfaction and will prove cheapest in the end. The outlet should of course be at the lowest point of land, and all drains, main and laterals, should fall slightly, but without exception, toward this point. Before undertaking to put in the drains, even on a small area, it will pay well to read some good book on the subject.
