How to Change a Headlight

How to Change a Headlight

by Colton Lewis

---BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING, MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS OFF AND THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY---

Tools Required – Socket Wrench, Screw Driver, Cloth/working gloves. New Light Bulbs

Average Time – 30 minutes – 1 ½ hours.

Step 1 – Open your drivers side door and pull the lever to pop the hood of your car.

Step 2 - Open your hood and prop it up using your stick under the hood of the car and then locate the light you wish to replace.

Step 3 – When you have found the light, locate the four bolts holding it in place, usually they would be on two on the top that are visible and two that might be underneath the grill* of the front. Usually all four are visible without taking the grill off.

Step 4 – Get your socket wrench and attach the correct size socket to it and begin to unscrew the bolts holding your headlights in, yes all four bolts are the same size. Unscrew them to the left and repeat for each bolt until the headlight is completely loose and all four bolts are out.

Step 5 – Once this is done put your socket wrench down next to your four bolts and begin to LIGHTLY jiggle your headlight out of place. Usually this involves pulling it up and jiggling it in order to make it come out of the mold its sitting in. When you do this you should be able to see the wiring in the back of the headlight. Be aware, still support your headlight and DO NOT LET IT HANG BY THE WIRES, THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.

Step 6 - Now, in the back of the headlight is either one, two or three butt ends of the light bulbs in which the wiring is attached to. To release the wires, push down on the clips that are on each side and begin to jiggle and pull the plugs out in order to detach them from the headlight. Do this for every single light bulb in the back that a wire is attached to.

Step 7 - Now your headlight should be completely loose and you should be able to pick it up and carry it around, it is completely detached at this point. Now for the lights, in order to remove the lights, spin them counter clockwise (or clockwise for certain car models) by the butt of the light bulb and this should release the bulb. Dispose of them because they are useless, or keep them if you have another purpose.

Step 8 – Now, to add the new light bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE LIGHTBULB WITH YOUR FINGERS, USE A CLOTH OR GLOVES TO PUT THE LIGHT BULB IN, TOUCHING IT WILL KILL THE LIFE OF THE LIGHT. Put the light bulb into the hole and spin it clockwise to tighten it and fasten it into the socket.

Step 9 – Now put the headlight back near the wiring and make sure it is on the right way, attach the wiring into the back of the light bulb by pushing on the clips on the side and then pushing the wiring into the light bulb fixture. Do this for one, two, or three of the bulbs.

Step 10 – Now place the headlight back into the casing and jiggle it around a little bit in order for it to slide into place.

Step 11 – RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS – SCREW EACH BOLT IN HALF WAY THEN EQUALLY SCREW THEM IN LITTLE BY LITTLE TO AVOID CRACKING HEADLIGHT.

Now get your socket wrench and bolts and begin to screw the bolts back into the headlight screw holes and so they are fastened to the front of the car. Do this for all four of the bolts and until they are completely tightened down.

Step 12 – Your headlight should be in place and should now work. Close the engine bay and check to see if it is sitting right. Turn your car on and check your lights, they should work perfectly.

Eddy - Poems

Someone somewhere will step forward
They will unfold our blinded eyes
And tell us
That science, the classrooms, the ruling assumption
Have made us shrink away from the central truths
Our questions about the developing universe
To live a subtle life is not so easy anymore
Nor will it ever be again
Until the churches, the mosques, and the temples
Have all fallen to ruin

Huddled for warmth with nature itself as a blanket
The human race began simply
It pondered mysteries of the universe
And celebrated its answers
Every year, every month, every day
For three hundred thousand years
They passed on these central truths through spoken stories
Have pity upon the primitive
For we will never again know their ignorance
Their bliss

Sedate our sadness for bygone days
Give us the drug of daily satisfaction
Tear from us our natural being
Break the primordial tradition
Extract the cosmos
And put it in a pill
To be taken twice in the morning and twice at night
So that the water, the sky, the rain
Will flow in our minds
Forever in our memories
And never again in our hearts
Alter our genetic makeup
And remove that which we once embodied
We have no further use for it

Eddy - How to Install SUSE Linux

Required Elements:
Acronis Partitioning Software
SUSE 10.2 disk
Internet Connection
Computer with at least a 20gb hard drive and an internet connection

SUSE 10.2 can be downloaded here
Once downloaded, burn it to a DVD using any burning software. Nero Burning Software is suggested.

1. Plug in and set up hardware for computer (keyboard, mouse, etc)
2. Turn on computer
   
3. During the first screen of the bios, press the delete (DEL) key
4. You will now be in the BIOS control. Cursor down to Advance Periferals and press enter/return. Set the boot priority floppy, CD-Rom, and hard disk, in that order. Press escape and save and exit.
5. As the system restarts, put the Acronis disk into the disk drive
6. The computer will boot to the disk and show you the Acronis partitioning controller. Find your hard drive in the window, right click it and format it to the ext3 format. Your hard drive will now be ready to have linux installed on it.
7. Save your changes and tell Acronis to restart the computor.
8. Replace the Acronis disk with the SUSE 10.2 disk
9. The system will boot the the SUSE Linux start screen. Press F3 and select the optimum resolution for your monitor (check the manual or box if you do not know it off-hand).
   
10. Cursor to the Install option and press enter/return
11. This is where the actual installation begins. From here, the installation is very self-explanitory. The installer will ask you for various information relating to your geographic location, hardware, and preferences. Pay close attention to each one. If you do not know the answer for one, leave it on the default. When you are prompted for a partitioning setup for the operating system, tell it to do the suggested partitioning setup. If you are an advanced user and would like to have a more specific or customized partitioning, you may modify it.
    
12. Once the installation setup is done, the installation of the operating system will begin. This can take up to 2 hours.
    
13. When the installation is complete, the installer will prompt you to restart the system. Allow it to do so.
14. When the system is booting back up, remove the disk. The system should boot to SUSE Linux.

How To Stand Up On a Surfboard

Dario - Borscht

Introduction:
Borscht, as you can see, is a soup made mostly from beets, but also includes beef-flavored bouillon and garlic. It was eaten mostly in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe mainly by poor people, hence the simplicity. Borscht had been around for a long time in the Slavic region, but played a big part in the Russian Revolution. During the revolution when such a large majority of the citizens were poor, borscht was a main staple of their daily diet because beets were so cheap. Though borscht was cheap and easy to make, it had negatives to it as well. Not enough iron, protein, or vitamins were included in this soup, which could have lead to many deficiencies or illnesses in the person. These lacking diets could lead to diseases such as malnutrition or anemia. Anemia usually comes from iron deficiency and is a disease where not enough iron gets into one’s blood, meaning that blood cannot get sufficient oxygen, not allowing it to function properly. Usually red meat can be consumed to solve this, if available. If not, different flours and breads are strong alternatives as well.

Ingredients:
6 cups of beef boullion
6 beets
3 cloves garlic
juice of 1 lemon
sour cream (whatever amount you like)

Process:
1. Get a large bowl.
2. Peel and chop beets. Put them in the bowl.
3. Smash garlic and put it in the bowl.
4. Mix boullion with lemon juice. Put this mix in the bowl of beets and garlic.
5. Boil in a pot until beets are soft. This will usually take about 40 minutes.
6. Serve hot or cold, with a garnish of sour cream.

Conrad - "How to throw a curveball"

1. Start by facing with both home plate homeplate.

2. Now, grip the ball with index and middle finger along the seams anywhere on the ball. Make sure that both fingers are above it so you cant get a good downard motion.

3. Now start your windup by taking your left foot back and then bringing it up to your chest.

4. Now kick your leg out towards home plate.

5. Right before you hit the ground with your front foot, your arm should be at 2 o' clock relative to the rest of your body.

6. At the same time, whip the ball in the downward motion in order to develop a low pressure system under the ball. This will causes the ball drop depending how you let go.

7. Follow through with your back leg along with your front squaring off toward home ready for a comebacker.

Note: Try experimenting with different grips and arm actions to develop the best curveball for you.

Estefanie - How to be organized

“My room is cluttered and I can’t work! I can never find what I need!”

Step one: Choose something that needs to be organized. This “something” can be a room, a backpack, an office drawer… anything.

Step two: Gather all items which need to be organized into a pile and separate them into categories. For example: Desk items – paper clips, stapler, pencils pens…
Knick-knacks – picture frames, figurines, paper weights etc… Papers/Documents

Step three: Sort each category one at a time and decide which items are still needed and must be handy at all times, which items are still needed but don’t need to be kept handy, and trash.

Limit the number of desk items and knick-knacks which are out in the open. Store the rest or throw them away.

Step four: Take all papers/documents and organize into categories. Keep separate categories by using folders or dividers. Label folders/dividers and store in a drawer/file cabinet/box.


“I ALWAYS FORGET WHAT I NEED TO DO”

Step one: Buy a planner. If you’re the type of person that has a lot of appointments, get a daily planner that is separated into times. If you’re the type of person that has general appointments and general to-do’s get a weekly/monthly planner.

Step two: In the monthly overview, PENCIL in all important dates that you need to remember, or meetings and appointments you are unsure you are able to attend. When events become a “for sure thing” erase it and write the event in pen. Copy the events into weekly overviews.

Step three: Write assignments/things to remember in their respective day slot when you are informed of them.

Step four: Check of your to-do’s which are written in the day slots as you complete them. This will help you remember what you have and haven’t done.

Chris Nho - How to 6-Step Clockwise

General information:
No one gets a move the first try. Having a fluid 6-step is going to take practice, eventually the movements will feel familiar. The 6-step is broken down into six different moves.

Start off position:
Start off in a push up position, except spread your legs apart by about a yard (you will later find that the more distanced they are, the more dynamic the move looks).

Step 1):
You will need to place the right side of your right foot about two feet to the left of your left hand. This will cause your left leg to bend, which is perfectly fine. Release your left hand and your body should now be in a slightly sideways position.

Step 2):
Now stick the lower part your left shin (somewhere close to your foot and shin) into the crevice of your right leg (which I will refer to as the legpit). Your left arm should still be up, but slightly less tilted than the last step.

Step 3):
“Unwind” your right leg and bring it so it is parallel to your other leg, which should still be bent. Your left hand should already be down and you will find yourself in a crab position.

Step 4):
Move your left leg clockwise so that your legpit is now making contact with your right shin, but make sure it is low enough so that your foot is still touching the ground. By the end of this step, you should be in the exact same position as the end of step 2, except it is occurring on the other side.

Step 5):
Just how your once moved your shin into your legpit, move your right foot back as much as you can but make sure both legs create a 60 degree angle. While your foot is moving, your right arm should come up and be in the air.

Step 6):
The last move of the 6-step is to move your left foot back, so that you are once again in the start position (pushup). As your leg is making this movement, put your right hand down to keep balance.

And there you have it! You now know how to 6-step. Practice hard and start slow, making sure you know each move. Good luck!

***Notes***

Once you have the basic steps, keep these few things in mind:

• Try to never have your whole foot on the ground, instead try to make sure only parts of your foot are making contact. This will give it a quicker look.
• There are several variations that can occur in the 6-step, be creative and explore new moves. If you are really interested, look up how to do CC’s, swipes, and other #-steps.

How to create a Shutdown Icon

Requirements:
Windows XP
Basic computer knowledge

what this does: creates a nifty shortcut you can use to shutdown.
**alternate use: create a "prank" icon (see additional steps)**

instructions (you may want to print or save these):
1.) minimize any open windows so that only the desktop is showing (you'll obviously need to refer back to here, so don't close this out).
2.) right click the desktop.
3.) with the mouse, hover over New -> click "Shortcut"
4.) This should bring up a shortcut wizard. Where it says to type the location, paste this text [%windir%\system32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s] (without the brackets).
5.) Click next. It should then ask you to name it. Name it "Shutdown Button", or whatever you like (the name doesn't matter, as long as you remember what you called it).
6. Click finish. You should now have a new icon on your desktop with the name you gave it.
7.) Kind of ugly, isn't it? Right click icon -> click Properties
8.) With the Properties window open, the tab at the top that should be highlighted is "Shortcut". If not, click the "Shortcut" tab.
9.) Look to the bottom and click the "Change Icon..." Button.
10.) A window will pop-up saying that shutdown.exe contains no icons. Click OK.
11.) A new window with icons will appear. Choose the red one with the circle and the vertical line (aka the Shutdown Icon), and click OK. If there is a different icon you would like to use, feel free to use that.
12.) Return to the Properties window, Click Apply, then OK.
13.) Your icon should update, and look much nicer.

Thats it! You've sucessfully created the handy 'SHUTDOWN' icon!
When you double click your icon now, a thirty second timer will start**, which will shutdown your computer.

**If you want it to shutdown instantly add "-t 01" to the end of the shortcut's target field, in the properties window. This basically sets that countdown timer to zero.

**If you are mischevious or computer literate, continue reading**

So, you want to make a prank icon?

Follow these steps then, but bewarned, no one likes a jerk who shuts down people's computers at their expense...

1.) follow steps 1-10 from the original instructions.
2.) this is where you can get creative. Instead of choosing a simple shutdown icon, you can choose, perhaps, the Internet Explorer icon.
3.) Apply that, rename the icon "Internet Explorer", and you've got a pretty convincing prank IE icon.
4.) To make things more interesting though, you should make some "additions" to the shortcut.
5.) open up the icon's properties window again. Make sure the "Shortcut" tab is highlighted. In the 'Target' field, add this [-s -t XX -c "XXXXXXXXXXXX"] to the end (without the brackets).
6.)these extra commands make a popup window appear as the computer shutsdown, and adds a comment. Replace 'XX' with a number between 01-30. The number will represent the timer, in seconds.For example, replacing XX with 25 means that the computer will countdown 25 seconds.
7.) replace "XXXXXXXXXXXX" with a comment, up to 127 characters. For example "You should have used Firefox..."
8.) Apply, and hit OK. you now have a fake icon that will shutdown their computer in, say 25 seconds, with a message of "You should have used Firefox..."
9.) Enjoy your lame prank.

Jameela - How to Walk It out

Brief History
The action of "Walking It Out" is a dance from Atlanta Georgia. It was created a couple of years ago and it was dance that people would just do in the club. Then, because this dance became so popular and everyone was doing it they decided to walk it world wide and make a song that relates specifically to this dance. The song was titled, Walk It Out, and it was written by Dj Unk. Every season there is a new dance vibe and before this it was the crunk movement. Now all the songs and dance steps that come out are about rocking. There are other forms of this such as Rocking your hips, and lean with it rock with it. The idea of this dance is somewhat of a hip hop movement in history. The part of this movement that I'm am going to teach to you is how to Walk It Out.

Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

1 bag pasta – preferably bowties or rotini (corkscrews)
6-8 oz. Pesto sauce (use as desired) (usually one whole store bought Ralph’s pesto)
1 whole can pitted black olives
1 ½ cups sliced sun- dried tomatoes IN OIL (Costco)
1 ½ cups artichoke heart pieces
1 ½ cups pine nuts
Freshly grated parmesan cheese (as desired)

• Directions:
• Cook pasta fully, drain, rinse with cold water, drain again and place in large bowl
• Add pesto sauce and mix well (you may add more if desired, there should be a lot)
• Add sun-dried tomatoes- you might have to cut them into thin strips because sometimes they come in halves (Don’t be afraid to let the oil drain in, it makes it taste better!)
• Add artichoke hearts (You may need to cut them so they are bite size. Again, its ok to let a little oil train in for taste)
• Mix well and make sure everything is evenly spread. At this point you may want to add more of the tomatoes or artichoke, depending on preference.
• Add one can of drained olives
• Add pine nuts
• Mix everything well
• Grate fresh parmesan cheese (use as desired)
• Mix (If it is too dry, pour some oil from the sun- dried tomatoes, it should be fairly wet)
• Cool for at least 2 hours- This way, all the flavors can mix, and besides, it better cold!

Makes 12-20 servings (depending on portions)

All ingredients can be eliminated (except pasta and pesto) or even increased, whatever you and your loved ones want! Enjoy this pasta; it is great for any occasion.

Life Paragraph

Part 1 -

If there is one thing I hate about myself is that I find that people tend to try to .make me mad because they know how it makes me react. This makes me frustrated quite a lot of the time because I know that in many situations people do it on purpose knowing how I will react and do it just for the pleasure of themselves. When this happens I find myself trying to understand for what possible reason they could be doing this and I try to examine the situation so I have a better understanding of why. Most of the time this doesn’t always work and people do it just because they love my reaction. So I found that I just don’t need to give people the time of day when they are purposely trying to make me mad. When people do this to me, I try to just blow them off and try to ignore them to the fullest extent in order to not let myself be riled up by someone.

Part 2 –

San Diego is my hometown and I have been here since I was born and I don’t think I will ever leave. I love this town because it is right next to the coast and the weather is perfect, everything is within a few hours drive because San Diego is very centralized in a way that the beach, the desert, the snowy mountains and the river are all within three hours of my hometown, I love it. I like living in this populated town but sometimes I feel that there are just too many people in San Diego and I feel that it is overpopulated in many areas. The good things about San Diego definitely outweigh the bad things of San Diego and I find myself often just sitting back and enjoying San Diego as a whole. I love to drive around and learn new areas while exploring a place that I have hardly seen much of simply because I love to drive in nice areas. The views and landscapes within San Diego are phenomenal and I don’t know what I would do without

all of the lookout spots that I find. I love my city and I don’t think I ever want to move.

Part 3 –

I was born on September 26, 1990 and I was the ladder of two children.

The relationships with my family are good especially through the times that we have been through together. We were raised with good morals, common sense, and logical thinking which allow us to think clear and make proper decisions. We have come closer over the past 8 years due to the loss of my father which took a toll on everyone in my family. My mom has raised me since I was in 3^rd grade and my brother since he was in 9^th, she has done it alone and for this I give my mom so much respect and I love her with all my heart. Raising two boys who saw the actions of their father and then we’re unintentionally reflected upon them is not always easy, especially because she saw him in us. My brother and I are close and we talk everyday and usually watch Adult Swim together and just talk about a bunch of random things. My mom and I talk all the time and she helps me whenever possible, our relationship is strong. These things have brought us together in everyway.

Part 4 –

A childhood game that I always used to play was Roller Hockey. I absolutely loved playing hockey and to this day I still do. My friends and I used to gather around on a flat street and set up goal posts, lace up our nice hockey skates and just play for like two of three hours just having a lot of fun with roughly six or seven people. As I got older and my friends moved away, I had to find another place to play so I went to the YMCA and played roller hockey there. I loved the YMCA although it took me a little while to really excel and roller hockey but it also took playing with bad players and good players and bad coaches and good coaches to better understand the game of hockey. As I got old I absolutely loved hockey and I was rather good at it, I loved being a forward and just “juking” people while making my way down the rink. I was good at keeping the puck and although I didn’t have a slap shot, my wrist shot was so accurate and so strong that it made up for me not even knowing how to do a slap shot. I played hockey for about 5 or 6 years.

Part 5 –

Someone who has made a big difference in my life is my mom. She has helped me through countless hardships and problems and through this I know that my mom will always be there for me no matter what. She has talked me through struggles and helped me come out on top, she is an amazing person and I don’t know how she finds time to do all of the things that she does. She gets up at 5:00 every morning and then goes to work from 8:00 until about 6:00-8:30 everyday of the week and then comes home and makes me dinner usually because my brother isn’t there and then we watch T.V. and she goes to sleep at 10:00-11:00. She does so much for me and I cannot even begin to explain how much I respect my mom, she is an amazing person.

Section 1:
I'm scared that because of the bad things I've done, I won't go to heaven. To me remorse is horrible. I hate feeling it. Because I remember that when I was doing something bad, I was having fun and enjoying my good time, but later on I look back on what I did and I feel remorse. I hate wanting to undo my wrong deeds because I love doing them and don't want to stop. So I want to not think about what God and others will think of me, and just do what I want and have fun.

Section 2:
The place that I feel the most remorse is when I go to church. Because its there that I ponder what I've done. I mean I feel that a lot of people only attend church to say they're sorry, like its the place for apologies and not just worshipping God.

Section 3:
I was born on July 7th, 1990, the last of three children. My family has always been very loving, yet very argumentative. We fight constantly, but we always make up. As children, we three girls were always well taken care of. We never went without anything. In fact, we were very much spoiled. Yet there was always a high standard. From a very young age, we were taught both english and Spanish, and being that our mom was a teacher, we knew to value education. College was something that would not be argued, it was simple, we would all have to attend. As sisters we often did not get along. I was supposedly the most spoiled and most stubborn. I often got what I wanted just because I would scream and throw fits. But I can say that of all us girls I am the one that holds family in the highest regard.

Section 4:
When me and my sister were about 6 and 7 we began a game that can be referred to as house. But in a way our method of playing was different. We donned new names that stuck with us until about the ages of 9 and 10. She was always Rachel, and my name was always Monique. Our husbands names were Daniel and Todd. Our childre were two sruffed animals/backpacks. Her son was a dog named Spot, and my son was a bear named Brownie. We would play at this for hours on end. every where we wnet we took our "sons" with us and if we were bored we automatically would continue our other life. we were both the wealthiest people on earth, bout nobody was poor. We worked diligently to make sure our game was free of world problems. Yet there was always a bully named Ibor who would beat up our sons, and we in turn would hurt him. He was a stuffed pelican. Looking back on these days, it reminds me of how close we both were. Being that we were only a year apart, we were always together. I remember we always said we would be best friends and that we would even be college roomates. But of course, this all changed and we grew up. We are now very differnet, but we still have all those memories of our childhood.

Section 5:
An important figure throughout my life especially when I was younger, was my older sister Kourtney. Because she was seven years older than me, I looked up to her and wanted to be just like her. She always had nice clothes and had on cool makeup. I remember watching her get ready before she would go out with her friends and I would wish that I was old enough to go with her. Now when I look back I do see how much I idolized her, and to this day I still do. Shes still so glamorous and in my eyes very successful. Even when I would bother her she never yelled at me or teated me like a pest. She was always nice to me, and we have never really fought. She was always patient with me and would always help me gang up on my other sister Lauren.
