How to Find Famous People's Gravesites

Whether you want to pay your respects or like looking for gravesites, finding the graves of celebrities or other famous people can be interesting. While it may take some time to discover where a particular grave is, with a little research and patience you can often find the one that you want. Along the way, don't forget to keep you eyes open for other famous graves.

Instructions

    1

    Look through online famous grave registries. There are a number of sites that list the location of many famous people. They generally include the name and location of the cemetery and some even have the exact location of the grave site for the individuals that they have listed.

    2

    Visit cemeteries in larger cities. If you're just looking for famous graves, but don't have anyone in particular in mind, go to some of the older, cemeteries in larger cities. Some will have maps of famous graves on hand, but in others you'll need to look around. The Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills of California is one cemetery that has a number of famous graves in it.

    3

    Post the celebrity or famous person whose grave you are looking for on a grave hunting message board or forum. You may find that someone knows where you need to go to find the grave for a specific person.

    4

    Look at the obituary for the famous person you're interested in finding. In some cases, it may tell if the internment took place or whether the burial took place in a different place than the death. This can help you track down potential cemeteries for the grave.

    5

    Talk to individuals at the cemeteries that you believe may be possible sites. There are generally registries at each cemetery that list the plot and person buried there, at least for newer cemeteries.

How to Start an Art Gallery

If you have a passion for the arts and some good business sense, you could start up your own art gallery. It takes hard work and dedication to make your dream a reality. You have to make a serious commitment to the project of opening an art gallery from the very beginning. If you are willing to make that commitment, there are a few steps you should follow.

Instructions

    1

    Talk to some art gallery owners. They don't have to be competing art galleries (the galleries in your area of town). An art gallery owner in another town may be very open to giving you advice on how to get started. They could have valuable tips about what to watch out for, and they may have some great contacts they are willing to share with you. Request a lunch meeting, and pay for the lunch as a way to thank them for their time.

    2

    Create a timeline based on the information you have gathered. Determine how long you think it will take to complete each task that needs to be done before the store can open. The timeline should be realistic. Don't give yourself only 2 days to find a location for your gallery. Choose a date at the end of your timeline to be your potential store opening day. Then tape that date on your refrigerator to act as a motivator.

    3

    Get financing. To do this, you need to use your timeline to create a budget and a business plan. Include everything you can think of in your budget, and make your business plan as detailed as possible. Investors are not even going to consider your proposal if it doesn't look like you have given this project much thought. The first place to start for a loan is your local bank. If you have good credit standing with your bank, then you will have a much easier time getting a loan there than a bank that doesn't have any record of you. Your other options would be to seek out investors and apply for grants. There aren't really any grants for small businesses, but there are a ton for the arts.

    4

    Find a location. Scour the town or contact a real estate agent. Know what your price range is before you go. Be sure that the area you plan on opening a gallery in is known for embracing the arts. There is a possibility you could open up in a town that does not have any art reputation, but if the people there aren't interested in art, your business will go down the tubes really fast. So when shopping for the perfect spot for a gallery, keep your eye open for the perfect town.

    5

    Get contacts, legitimate sources you can go to to buy art to sell in your gallery. You are also going to need contacts to get famous artists and up-and-coming artists to come to your gallery to sell their paintings and draw in customers.

    6

    Buy paintings from artists to include in your gallery. You can either buy the paintings outright, or you can place them on consignment. Paintings are big business. You should mark the prices up 50 percent. If your artist wants to receive $800 for their painting of a beach sunset, then you should advertise the price as $1,200. You can pay the artist the $800 up front and hope you sell the painting, or have them sign a contract that they will get $800 when the painting sells. Most artists will be willing to work on consignment.

    7

    Decide how many artists you want to take on. Take the size of your gallery into consideration. You should have no less than 10 artists contracted to begin. If you are selling on consignment, you can take as many artists on as you want. Choose only the paintings or pieces you feel will sell in your gallery. You don't have to accept every piece the artist gives you. If your gallery is large, you may have over 20 artists showcased at one time. Start off small and grow as your gallery gains popularity.

    8

    Create contracts. These contracts should include how much money the artist will be paid for each specific painting and how long you are willing to hold onto the painting if it doesn't sell. The gallery owner should have the right to review each piece at the end of the year and return it if it does not look like it is going to sell. Give the artist a chance to replace that piece with a fresh new piece. You could also make a deal with the artist to auction the nonselling piece on an auction site and take some kind of profit for it instead of letting it sit in storage.

    9

    Follow through on your timeline and have a big grand opening. Spend some advertising dollars for your grand opening, or nobody will be aware that your gallery exists. You should have some kind of advertising going all year, but you need to start off with a big bang. Try to get featured in a couple of local newspapers and get an ad on the radio. These are very effective tools in spreading the word about your new gallery.

How to Make Lighted Fabric Swags

Lighted fabric swags are often used as wedding decorations or during the holidays. However, this design idea doesn't just have to be displayed for special occasions. It is easy enough to use in home decor and the upkeep is simple. This decoration can be placed anywhere to add some accent above a door or window, along a table or mantle.

Instructions

    1

    Measure the location intended for the lighted fabric swag project. Cut the fabric to the required length including fabric to hang along each edge.

    2

    Combine the fabric with string lights by wrapping the lights in the fabric. Tie the combination together with decorative ribbons or other ties every few inches still allowing the fabric and lights to drape into a swag.

    3

    Insert cup hooks or even swag holders into the wall at each corner and one or two in the middle depending on the space available. Drape the lighted fabric through the hooks to create the swag.

    4

    Add ivy or other decorations, such as ribbons and bows to the swag. Put decorative accents in each corner or every few inches to add a little more color or personal style.

    5

    Hide the plug-in for the lights under the cascading fabric along the side. Check the lights for any problems with wiring from time to time to prevent fires.

How to Make a Mobile

How to Make a Mobile

Kinetic art, commonly known as the mobile, can be as simple or complex as you would like to make it. Most of us are aware of mobiles that entertain babies and some of us remember creating solar systems with Styrofoam balls and wire. Today's kinetic art sculptures are far cry from Styrofoam and coat hangers. Know the basics, and you can create a masterpiece uniquely your own. Read on to learn how to make a mobile.

Instructions

    1

    Thread a thin wire or fishing line through the center of a wooden dowel.

    2

    Hang art pieces of equal weight on either side of the dowel, adjusting so that the dowel hangs relatively straight. This creates the basic structure of a mobile.

    3

    Apply more weight to one side than the other to create a unique design, keeping the dowel straight by adjusting the placement of the two art pieces.

    4

    Vary the placement of the wire or thread along the length of the dowel to accommodate art pieces of differing weights. Place the wire closer to the end that carries more weight.

    5

    Build upon this basic kinetic design by adding more dowels and or art pieces as weights until you are satisfied with the final outcome, making a mobile with variable levels and multiple art objects.

    6

    Decorate your weights and dowels in any manner of your choosing.

How to Treat Viral Gastroenteritis

How to Treat Viral Gastroenteritis

Viral Gastroenteritis is a highly contagious intestinal infection and causes extreme diarrhea and vomiting. It is the second most common disease in the United States. Despite its terrible effects on people, viral gastroenteritis is treatable and usually dissipates over time.

Instructions

Adult Treatment

    1

    Recognize the symptoms of the virus. These include headaches, diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal pain and vomiting and usually occur within 4 to 48 hours of exposure to the virus.

    2

    Don't eat for a few hours once you realize you have it. Your stomach needs to settle.

    3

    Drink plenty of fluids once your stomach has settled, as your body can easily become dehydrated during the time you are affected by viral gastroenteritis. If your stomach doesn't settle after a few hours, drink liquids in small amounts or suck on ice cubes.

    4

    Get plenty of rest. Don't overextend yourself too much.

    5

    Reintroduce small quantities of food you can easily digest once you've gotten plenty of rest and your stomach has settled. Try toast, apples, rice, broth and bananas.

Child Treatment

    6

    Recognize the symptoms of the virus. These include headaches, diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal pain and vomiting and usually occur within four to forty-eight hours of exposure to the virus.

    7

    Let the child rest for several hours to allow his stomach to settle.

    8

    Give the child an oral rehydration solution to get minerals and fluids back in to their bodies.

    9

    Reintroduce easily digestible foods (such as rice, apples, bananas, toast and broth) in to their systems once symptoms of viral gastroenteritis have subsided.

How to Set Up a Family Website

How to Set Up a Family Website

With families moving across the country and even across the world, other family members sometimes don't get to see the children grow up. Since kids change so quickly, creating a family website is a great way to let extended family and friends keep in touch with your family.

Instructions

    1

    Find a hosting company for your website. Picasso offers free password protected websites. Angelfire and Geocities also offer free websites.

    2

    Follow the instructions on the website to upload photos. Choose photos that aren't specific to your location, so those who aren't supposed to be on your site won't have access to any personal information on your children.

    3

    Enter text for photos and other information on your family. Have your contact page protected by a template so your email address isn't visible to avoid receiving unwanted emails.

    4

    Keep your pages updated so your family and friends can check often to see new photos and information.

    5

    Allow your children to design their own pages, but instruct them on Internet safety.

    6

    Email your list of friends and family each time you update your site.

    7

    Blog regularly, but always keep it password protected.

How to view an art exhibit

Art exhibits can be anything from a few paintings hung in a cafe to a major installation at a museum, such as the Louvre or the New York Metropolitan Museum. You don't have to have an art history degree to enjoy an art exhibit. It does help, however, if you prepare for your visit and explore the art at leisure. Here are a few steps to help you along the way.

Instructions

    1

    Research the topic of the exhibition. Learning a little bit about the artist, the period and the school of art will allow you to get more out of the art exhibit. You'll be able to see how the artist's life and times influenced his work and see nuances in the works that you might otherwise miss.

    2

    Go early. Art exhibits generally are much less crowded at the beginning of their run than they are during the last few weeks. Visiting early will allow you to view the art at leisure without having to deal with the crowds.

    3

    Explore the exhibit at leisure. Allow plenty of time to explore the exhibit. Read the information about each room and about the paintings that strike you. Take time to sit in a few rooms and absorb the feel of the art.

    4

    Take a tour. Taking a guided tour or a self-guided audio tour will give you more in-depth information about the highlights of the exhibit and the artists.

    5

    Share your experience. Art is meant to be shared. If you can't take a friend with you to the exhibit, make sure to tell someone about your impressions. You can even post your thoughts on one of the many art forums on the Web.

How to Tour Easter Island

People call Easter Island one of the wonders of the world. Known for its giant stone statues, Easter Island is located in a remote section of the Pacific Ocean. The nearest populated areas, Tahiti and Chile, are thousands of miles away.

Instructions

    1

    Decide whether you want to tour with a group on a prearranged tour or if you'd prefer to travel on your own. A number of companies offer group tours by plane and boat. If planning the tour yourself, you'll want to fly from Chile to arrive at Easter Island in about six hours.

    5

    Experience the native life by visiting Hanga Roa, the only town on the island. Most of the Rapanui, the Easter Island people, live there. You can further enjoy local culture by timing your trip to coincide with the local Tapati festival, which occurs in late January or early February.

    6

    Explore two of the volcanoes on Easter Island. Go the top of the Rano Kau Volcano to visit Orongo, a ceremonial site. At the other end of the island, visit Rano Raraku where ancient inhabitants quarried for the statues. Over 300 statues rest on its slopes.


People call Easter Island one of the wonders of the world. Known for its giant stone statues, Easter Island is located in a remote section of the Pacific Ocean. The nearest populated areas, Tahiti and Chile, are thousands of miles away.

How to Lose Weight While Training for a Triathlon

How to Lose Weight While Training for a Triathlon

A triathlon is a competition that includes swimming, biking and running. Trying to lose weight while training for a triathlon can be easy, following a few simple guidelines. Remember that in order to lose weight in a healthy way, only a few pounds should be lost per week after the first week or two. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

    1

    Fuel for workouts. The body can't burn stored fat like it can burn calories from food. Therefore, if an athlete tries to train for a triathlon without fueling, or eating the proper amount of calories to be burned, the body will not be able to function properly. By fueling properly before and during a workout, it allows the body to perform at it's best.

    2

    Eat healthy foods. The body works best when nutritional needs are met. Therefore, it is best to choose foods that meet needs the body has, and not junk food. This will keep the body in balance nutritionally and help an athlete lose weight.

    3

    Cut back excess calories from meals and snacks. This is where calories can be cut. Leave out junk food and desserts. Cut back on drinks with calories--remember that sports drinks have calories, too. Water is always the best choice for a drink, not only because it lacks calories, but because it helps the body function.

    4

    Be consistent. Working out five to six days a week to train is necessary for a triathlon. Skipping days frequently, eating irregularly and other lifestyle inconsistencies will do nothing but hold back weight loss goals.

    5

    Watch how much is consumed during tapering or slower training weeks. When the training is cut back, calories should be cut back also. Otherwise, weight gain will occur.

How to Do the Proper Rate of CPR Chest Compressions

While performing CPR, you may have to employ chest compressions to keep the victim alive. CPR chest compressions are designed to do the work of the heart and move oxygenated blood through the body. You must know how many to do if they are going to be effective.

Instructions

    1

    Do chest compressions at a rate of about 100 per minute. This means you are doing just under 2 compressions every second. It should take you about 18 to 20 seconds to do 30 compressions.

    2

    Allow the chest of your victim to recoil fully between compressions.

    3

    Practice on a CPR dummy, a doll or a stuffed animal by doing 8 chest compressions every 5 seconds. Time yourself to ensure you're doing it correctly.

    4

    Compress 1 to 2 inches with adults. For infants or young children, compress 1/2 to a 1/3 the depth of the chest. You are trying to trap the heart between the sternum and spine and it will take deep compressions to do this.

    5

    Count aloud so you don't do too few chest compressions. When counting, do not put an "and" between counts. If you lose count, err on side of thinking you didn't do enough. Do a few more chest compressions before giving breaths.

How to Make Bobbin Lace

How to Make Bobbin Lace

Bobbin lace takes less time to make than needle lace. Yet, to make complicated patterns you should know a few stitches. Once you learn the steps below, you can make many more complicated bobbin laces.

Instructions

    1

    Thread 2 bobbins with opposite ends of the same piece of string. Take your bobbin, and pull some string through it. Roll it tightly until you are left with only a few inches. Thread these last few inches in the other bobbin. With the new bobbin, wind the string tightly while unwinding the other bobbin. Stop when you've wound half of the string on each bobbin.

    2

    Practice a braid. Take one bobbin pair. Put the middle of your string behind a pin. Make a lace braid by wrapping the bobbin on the right over the one on the left. Whenever you make a braid, make sure it is always wound right over left.

    3

    Practice a half-stitch crossing. Take two bobbin pairs. Put the middle of each string behind two different pins. For each pair, cross the right bobbin over the left bobbin once. Then take the middle left bobbin and weave it to the right. This bobbin should go over the first string and under the second.

    4

    Practice a full-stitch crossing to give your lace a solid look. Take two bobbin pairs. Put the middle of each string behind 2 different pins. In each pair, cross the right bobbin over the left bobbin once. Weave the 2 middle bobbins. The middle left bobbin will go over the string to the right and under the next string on the right. The middle left bobbin will go under the string to the left and over the next string to the left.

    5

    Buy a bobbin lace pricking, or pattern, and use these stitches to make a complete bobbin lace project.

How to Prevent Anorexia

How to Prevent Anorexia

People with anorexia nervosa starve themselves to obtain a "perfect" body. They truly feel it's not possible to be too thin and describe themselves as fat, no matter how thin they become. Symptoms of anorexia, other than starvation, include calorie counting, extreme exercise regimes, use of vomiting or diuretics to loose weight and extreme anxiety of gaining weight. There are some things you can try to prevent anorexia.

Instructions

    1

    Start steps to prevent anorexia when children are young. Teach children positive body images, especially girls who may feel like diet and exercise will give them a model's body. Teach children to eat and exercise for health, not to have a "perfect" body. Do not encourage dieting, unless children are significantly overweight.

    2

    Watch teens carefully. While anorexia cuts across class and race lines, it is more prevalent amongst over-achieving, perfectionist type girls. Listen to your child if they start claiming they're fat, especially if they're not. To help prevent anorexia, make sure diets are responsible and don't allow teenagers to exercise to extreme levels.

    3

    Provide your child with a non-judgmental ear so she can come to you to discuss fears and anxieties. Children with open communications with their parents are less likely to suffer from anorexia.

    4

    Watch the terms how you describe other people's bodies, especially strangers. Noting the size and shape of other people, especially in derogatory terms, can make children fearful of how others perceive their bodies. They don't want people talking about them as you are talking about others.

    5

    Do not tease anyone about their bodies, even in fun. Teenagers are extremely sensitive and many don't like being laughed at.

How to Make Money Doing Magic Tricks

Many people, from toddlers to older adults, have enjoyed magic shows for years. Magicians are great entertainers who can be found in a number of different venues. If you are one of the few magicians who can flawlessly perform a number of tricks, there are many ways you can make money using your talent, as explained below.

Instructions

    1

    Decide what audience you want to entertain. This will help you narrow down what tricks you will want to polish up and add to your routine. If you are wanting to work with children, focus on quick and colorful tricks. If you want to perform for adults, choose more sophisticated and thought-provoking tricks.

    2

    Choose magic tricks that suit your personal style. Decide if you perform with more humor, seriousness or sarcasm, and choose tricks that accentuate your personal style.

    3

    Narrow down your routine to seven or eight tricks. Very few magicians do all of the hundreds of tricks that are available for show. Select your very best seven or eight to make up your routine.

    4

    Market to your target audience. If your tricks are child or family-oriented, advertise for birthday and graduation parties or at family restaurants. For more sophisticated or adult venues, focus on weddings, parties or corporate events that provide entertainment.

    5

    Be prepared to offer free demonstrations. Part of building up a number of paying clients is to become known in your community. Volunteering for non-profit organizations may be a great way to get your name and talent recognized. Just be sure to go prepared with business cards or fliers that promote you or your business for paying gigs.

How to Move to Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo, Brazil, is one of the most vibrant cities in South America and is Brazil's commercial and banking center. Despite the problems of urban sprawl and traffic congestion, it can be a delightful place to live.

Instructions

    1

    Apply for a Brazilian visa. This should be done at a Brazilian embassy or consulate in your country of residence. You will need a valid passport. The type of visa you require depends on the length and purpose of your visit. Brazilian tourist visas are only valid for 90 days and prevent you from seeking any kind of employment. Temporary and permanent visas are more difficult to obtain.

    2

    Obtain health insurance. Unless you are a permanent resident of Brazil, you will not be eligible for SUS, the Brazilian public health service. There are a number of private health insurance providers in Brazil, and you can also purchase expatriate health insurance in your home country.

    3

    Decide where you want to live in the city. Getting around Sao Paulo can be difficult at times. The bus and metro systems are overworked and crowded, while the city's roads are often completely snarled with traffic. In addition, there are a number of sprawling shanty towns, known as favelas, that are generally not safe for foreigners to wander into alone.

    4

    Find an apartment or house to live in. Property values are quite high in Sao Paulo. You will want to shop around for a place that suits your needs and budget. There are a number of sites on the Internet that offer rental and property listings. Alternatively, you can find short-term accommodations in the city and then shop around in person on arrival, which may be your best bet for finding a decent price.

    5

    Learn to speak Portuguese. While Sao Paulo is known as an international city that contains a wide spectrum of ethnic groups, most Portuguese people, particularly those outside the urban middle and upper classes, will not speak much English. More importantly, you'll be able to enter much more easily into the culture if you speak Portuguese. Also, note that Spanish is also spoken in Sao Paulo and throughout Brazil.

How to Do a Basic Calisthenics Exercise

How to Do a Basic Calisthenics Exercise

Calisthenic exercises are those that don't need any equipment. Instead, you use your own bodyweight to provide the resistance you need to build strength and endurance. There's no reason why you can't start a calisthenics routine right now. Here's how.

Instructions

    1

    Dress in loose, comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely. You may be lifting your knees to your chest, bending over to touch your toes or lying on the floor with your feet in the air. A roomy pair of jeans is fine, but a skirt of any kind won't be.

    2

    Decide whether you need shoes. Shoes provide stability, add a little weight to leg exercises, and are definitely needed if you're performing calisthenics outdoors, but you may opt to go barefoot if you want to strengthen your feet or work on your balance.

    3

    Find a space. Ideally, you want to be able to take eight steps in any direction, but you can adapt exercises to a smaller space if necessary. You definitely should be able to lie down without bumping into walls or furniture.

    4

    Turn on the music. Something with a good beat will help you develop a rhythm, but it isn't necessary. Any music you enjoy will help the time pass more quickly--and you may hardly notice how hard you're working.

    5

    Perform each exercise in sets of six, eight, 10 or 12 repetitions. Rest for a few seconds and perform another set. Keep track of how many sets you're able to do and try to increase every week.

    6

    Work until it burns. As the muscles you're working use up their energy stores, you will start to feel a burning sensation. It's at this point that you start to make gains, but stop the exercise after the next set, before the burning sensation becomes an overuse injury.

    Decide whether you need shoes. Shoes provide stability, add a little weight to leg exercises, and are definitely needed if you're performing calisthenics outdoors, but you may opt to go barefoot if you want to strengthen your feet or work on your balance.

    5

    Perform each exercise in sets of six, eight, 10 or 12 repetitions. Rest for a few seconds and perform another set. Keep track of how many sets you're able to do and try to increase every week.
