| How To Create a Sound Bite for a TV Newscast Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:35 PM PDT As a television news reporter, it is your duty to report the most up to date news and deliver it in an interesting yet complete fashion. Creating a sound bite or sound on tape (SOT) is how you put together your news story based on interviews and your research. It has to be compelling, catchy and quick.

| How To Create a Cozy and Welcoming Bedroom Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:29 PM PDT More than any room at home, the bedroom should offer you respite from all the stresses of the outside world. After work, you might want to just drop on the bed and snooze all evening. Or, you might want to stay in bed until late during weekend mornings. You might not get this level of comfort with a cold, sterile looking bedroom, though. You need to make your bedroom cozy and welcoming. Creating a cozy and welcoming will involve warm and fuzzy textures and subdued colors. Go soft. Feelings of coziness often involve soft materials. Invest in all things soft. This should include a soft bed, with soft feather- or microfiber-filled pillows. You should also invest in good sheets—a high-threadcount duvet or comforter will do. You will also want to hang curtains instead of blinds. And what's better to add to softness than with a carpet? |
| How To Create a Business Ad on Craigslist Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:27 PM PDT Craigslist is one of the most celebrated local listing sites on the Internet. What sets it apart from most auction and classified sites online is that it's very simple. It just works under the principle that if it's on Craigslist, it must be local. Therefore, you would have an audience that's based on your current locality. This is best for businesses that cater to local communities, such as restaurants, stores, and other offices that have a brick-and-mortar operation. Creating a business ad on Craigslist is very straightforward. You will just need to look for the best place to post your ad, then type in an attractive ad, which includes your services and how potential customers can get in touch with you. |
| How To Build a Platform Bed with Storage Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:26 PM PDT Originally, platform beds were beds that were built higher up from the ground to allow for more living space below. Nowadays, though, the beds have moved closer to the ground, at almost the same height as conventional beds and are built to support only a mattress. Platform beds can vary greatly in terms of material used—these can be made from wood or metal. You can also add a headboard or footboard according to your preference. Platform beds do not require a box spring to support the mattress, although the box spring can be adjusted if need be. There are many kinds of platform beds, such as contemporary, traditional and transitional, Japanese or Asian-influenced, and storage platform beds. Storage platform beds are, as the name states, beds that can be used for storage, too. These platform beds have cabinets or drawers underneath the frame as storage. In some cases the headboard or the footboard of the platform bed can also be used for storing small items. |
| How To Create a Coupon Book for Mom or Dad Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:24 PM PDT Creating a coupon book for your parents can be a cool and innovative way to give presents without actually having to spend a lot of money. With a coupon book, you will essentially be giving gifts in kind. You can make promises to do some extra chores, take them out on trips, and the like. A coupon book is like the usual coupons you can find in newspapers. However, instead of a discount on some item you have to buy, this would involve an effort on your part. What you need: |
| How To Backup Data from a Broken Computer to Another Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:22 PM PDT You have a situation. Your computer just conked out on you and broke just when you're about to print out or save that important report for school or work. It's understandable to be upset and cry and be a madman, but all hope's not gone yet. If you didn't know, you can actually still back-up data from that computer to another one. You can bring the computer to a repair shop. But with some know-how and a few gadgets, you can backup data from a broken computer to another. |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:15 PM PDT If you want to be a cool boss and at the same time a good one to your employees, you certainly can. It's actually quite a challenge to be a cool boss while on the job because, basically, managers have a lot of responsibilities to consider. Every action they make affects the results of their tasks and the way they manage people. Being a cool boss is also a way to motivate your people and to create a more relaxing environment in the workplace. Employees will be more comfortable working with a boss who's more their friend than someone who intimidates and just barks out orders. If you want to become one, here are just a few crazy ideas: |
| How To Correct Toddler and Child Behavior Problems Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:15 PM PDT Bad behavior in toddlers and children may ensue for several reasons. Behavior problems can be due to a child's experiencing changes in his environment and limitations in his own development. As a parent, it's your responsibility to correct behavior problems and rear your child to grow up as a mature and responsible individual. This should start from childhood, though—the attitudes he learns as a child will usually carry on to adulthood. |
| How To Make a Portable Puppet Theatre Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:12 PM PDT Building a portable puppet theatre is a long process. You must have good, imaginative plans, and the design that you think of must be attractive to the eyes of the viewers, who will most likely be young kids. A puppet theatre that's portable and easy to set up is the best kind, because even kids can set it up. Here are some suggested steps in making a portable puppet theatre. |
| How To Make a Portable Studio to Photograph eBay Items Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:08 PM PDT Closets in your home and boxes in your attics are all filled to the brim with things you can sell. What else would be the most convenient way of getting rid of all that stuff aside from having a garage sale? With eBay, you can sell pretty much anything and everything under the sun. With the millions of people all over the world who check the website looking for things that they can add to their collection or things that they simply need or want to buy, the website is your best option.

| How To Correct Your Dog's Behavior Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:07 PM PDT Dogs are wonderful pets. They provide great company. They make for good companions during walks. They can also be great bedside companions (assuming they are free of fleas). Dogs can sometimes misbehave, though. Dogs would undergo stages of aggression, wild play, and destructive activities. It might be frustrating at times, but in order to correct your dog's behavior, you need to know how to think and act like your dog. Understand the source of misbehavior. Dogs, especially puppies, don't think like humans. They have different motivations for the things they do. For instance, they chew on furniture, shoes and carpets to soothe aching gums while teething. They urinate and soil indoors because they can find their scent there. They beg for food on the table if they are unusually hungry or lonely. |
| How To Cope with Nausea During Pregnancy Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:03 PM PDT Morning sickness is a common side-effect of pregnancy. Your body is experiencing a lot of changes from inside, and it is trying to cope with these physical changes. Your hormone levels are getting erratic. Your womb is expanding. You also feel tired and stressed out, and you will probably have a general sense of lethargy and confusion. Sometimes you just want to stay in bed all day. Don't worry—these symptoms are normal with any pregnancy. You can do some things to help cope with some of the more debilitating symptoms like nausea and vomiting. These vary in effectiveness from person to person, though. So try some of these tips, and see what works for you. |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2010 07:00 PM PDT Hypospadias is a condition in males in which the opening of the urinary tract is not located in its normal place at the tip of the penis. Rather, the urethral opening can be located in several possible places in the underside of the penis. This condition usually exhibits itself at birth, and will vary in severity. While hypospadias is not life-threatening, doctors will usually recommend correcting it with surgery because of the various problems that the affected person might encounter in his life. For instance, he might have fears of intimate relationships because of what can be considered a deformity. This might also be for practical reasons—the patient might have difficulty urinating. For boys, urinating while sitting down might carry some stigma or embarrassment. |
| How To Create a Clothing Catalog Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:58 PM PDT Whether you are running a traditional clothing store, or selling wares online, you will need to create a clothing catalog to showcase all your items being sold. A catalog can help a potential buyer visualize what the clothing will look like. A catalog will also help a potential client decide on which style she wants. Who is your audience? When you are creating a catalog, keep in mind your target audience. What kind of people are they? Are they college students looking for summer wear? Are they professionals looking for office wear? Maybe they're mothers looking for clothes she can have her children wear. Whatever the purpose, this will help define the general theme and design of your catalog. |
| How To Create a Beer Lover's Gift Basket Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:56 PM PDT There are wine lovers. There are cheese lovers. Then there are men who have a love for beers. Beer lovers often have a taste for the unique and the different. While there are a lot of local brand beers to sample, different countries around the world have their own offerings that a beer enthusiast might develop a taste for. If you have a friend who has a taste for beer, then you might consider giving him a beer lover's gift basket for special occasions. Beer lover's gift baskets come in different sizes and flavors (literally). While you can easily purchase a basket from retail sites like gourmetgiftbaskets.com, you might be able to save some money if you create a beer lover's gift basket of your own. The recipient of your gift might even appreciate it better, being a personalized gift. Here are some ideas you can try when making this kind of gift basket for your beer loving friend. |
| How To Cope with Being Turned Down Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:55 PM PDT It could be a person you are asking out for a date. It could be for a job application. It could be a promotion. Whatever the scenario, being turned down is often painful and disappointing. You might have invested a lot of time, effort, and even emotions into something or someone. The last thing you expect is to be turned down. Most people would react strongly when turned down. This can include feelings of disappointment and even anger. Most would feel depressed after being turned down. While it's normal to feel bad about being turned down, the next logical step would be to get back on your feet and move on with life.

| Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:54 PM PDT Who doesn't enjoy holidays on the beach, or a lazy summer afternoon soaking in the sunlight? These are great ways to get a tan. However great your tan looks, you will most likely have horrible tan lines in various visible places, like your shoulders and thighs. Tan lines are nothing to be embarrassed about, but if you are concerned about your appearance while wearing an off-shoulder dress or gown, then you would definitely need to cover these strap lines up. Use clothing. The easiest way to cover up strap lines is through clothing. Wearing everyday outdoor wear like a blouse, shirt or jacket would surely be able to cover up unsightly tan lines. Just go for something that has adequate protection. Avoid halter tops, backless dresses, and any piece of clothing that exposes your shoulder. If you will be wearing formal attire that leaves the shoulders bare, wear a shawl. You can also wear a bolero (a short jacket) that matches your gown. |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:50 PM PDT There are a lot of different techniques to make a photo poster, but the before going into detail, the important requirement is that you must have a graphics editing program before you can actually do this.

You just need to be familiar with some basic software programs for poster-making. If you're a bit unsure how to go about with this, here are a few steps that could help you out: |
| How To Cope with Postpartum Depression Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:45 PM PDT Postpartum depression is a condition that affects a large percentage of new mothers to various degrees. It is usually caused by changes in hormone levels, although it can be caused by stress and the fact that having a baby causes drastic changes in lifestyle. Get adequate nutrition. Nutrition plays a big role in keeping healthy as a mother. Eat a balanced diet, and don't miss any meals. If you are breastfeeding, you should also drink a lot of fluids in the form of water, juices and soup. These will help replenish the fluids that your body produces as milk for the baby. Eating properly will also help your baby grow healthier if you are breastfeeding. |
| How To Create a Backup of Photos Using a Computer Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:42 PM PDT More than the images that they show, what's important with photographs are the memories that they impart. These are usually very valuable and even priceless images that one might never relive without the photos. Unfortunately, as with any medium, photographs will fade, get torn or even get lost. Paper albums run the risk of being lost in the elements, like water or even fire. To prevent this loss from taking away your precious memories, you can back them up using a computer. What you need: |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:39 PM PDT Clothes shopping can be fun. If you run a retail store, then you will most likely have to showcase your clothing items in window displays and on mannequins. Once you get a customer interested, he or she might want to try different pieces of clothing if they fit well, and if they look good on the wearer. For this purpose, you would need a dressing area. Most retail shops have a dressing area. But what if you are selling in an impromptu store, like in a bazaar or flea market? Or what if you're selling items at a garage sale or warehouse sale? Here are a few things you can do to create a dressing area. |
| How To Cope with Childhood Trauma as an Adult Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:37 PM PDT Growing up into an adult, you would usually learn to mature as an individual. Through one's experiences growing up, most childhood concerns usually take a back seat to bigger things, such as career, family life, money, and relationships. However, childhood traumas have a way of haunting you even if these events happened many years back. These could resurface in the form of phobias, or irrational fears. These could also resurface in the form of bad dreams. In some cases, if the trauma was caused by abuse, then the problem could surface in one's inability to trust and have meaningful relationships. Coping with your childhood trauma would usually be a lengthy process of recovery and moving on. Here are a few things you should consider if you want to walk the path of healing. |
| How To Make a Plastic Toboggan Go Dangerously Fast Posted: 03 Apr 2010 06:35 PM PDT A toboggan is a simple sled with a flat bottom and a cord on the upper side for the rider to hold and provide rudimentary steering with. The front ends of most toboggans are curved or curled up so that the toboggan can glide or slide over rough surfaces easily. In olden times, it was actually used as a means of transportation by the Innu and Cree of northern Canada. However, in modern times it is used as a means of recreation during the winter season. Toboggans are used to glide or slide down a hill or chute covered with snow. A typical toboggan can carry two persons. Nowadays, many toboggans do not have the front end curved or curled up; because of the thickness of the platform itself. Most toboggans now have an efficient built in steering and braking system, which makes them even safer for kids. Toboggans are often used by families in place of skis. |
