How to Determine Self-Employed Status

If you're self-employed, your clients don't have to pay workers' compensation, withhold income tax or pay into Social Security for you. Some employers try to dodge these responsibilities by claiming employees are self-employed; some employers simply mess up. Use the IRS guidelines to find out the facts about your status.

Instructions

1

Judge how much control the company has over the way you work. If you're self-employed, the people hiring you are clients, with limited say over your dress, hours of work and methods. If you're an employee, they lay down the rules.

2

Follow the money. If the company pays you a salary, owns all your equipment and reimburses you for expenses, those are signs your status is "employee." If the equipment is yours and you're paid by the job, you're more likely self-employed.

3

Look at whether your work is open-ended and could potentially go on indefinitely. Freelancers take on specific assignments, usually with deadlines and often under contract.

4

Review your job based on all three standards and decide on your status. There's no one rule that conclusively determines if you're self-employed so you have to consider all aspects of your job.

5

Complete IRS form SS-8; if you're still not sure, and ask the government to decide. It may take several months to hear back, but the IRS will give you the definitive decision on what category you fall into.

How to Buy Canned Goods

The tin can was invented in 1810 but it wasn't until around 1870 that a method of sealing cans was perfected. The lids were hand-soldered until 1922 when a "crimping" method was introduced to speed up the canning process. Since then, advances in technology have created a multi-billion dollar industry of safe, efficient commercial food packaging.

Instructions

1

Examine the can. Choose cans that are not damaged. Be aware that a dent can be a sign of a tear in the seam of the can, which can encourage the growth of bacteria, mold spores and botulism.

2

Look at the rim of the can. Note any corrosion along the top edge or along the seam where the rim joins the body of the can. Reject cans that are corroded or appear dirty, as this can be a sign of leakage, spoilage or age.

3

Note the expiration date on the can. Purchase only canned good with clearly marked expiration dates. Select items with a substantial shelf life.

4

Buy canned goods for long-term storage. Think ahead about how the products will be used so that expiration dates are not exceeded.

5

Keep a detailed inventory of the canned goods stored in the pantry or food cupboard. Note the expiration dates and rotate the stock so that older products are used sooner and that unnecessary duplicate purchases are avoided.

How to Remove a Tractor Tire From a Rim

Tractor tires are not easy to work on, that's why they're made to last a very long time. But if you need to replace a tractor tire, you'll need to remove it from the rim which requires some special equipment and knowledge. Here's how to remove a tractor tire so you can put a new one on.

Instructions

1

Get a specialized giant tire pneumatic bead breaking tool. Be sure you have the proper pneumatic equipment such as high pressure hoses and a tank so you can use your bead breaker.

2

Attach the bead braking tool to the rim of the tractor tire according to the manufacturer's directions.

3

Break the bead. The "bead" is how the tire is set on the rim. It takes a great deal of force on the sidewall of a tractor tire to break the bead.

4

Pry the tractor tire off the rim using a large tractor tire derimmer. A suitable derimmer can be purchased from Eagle International (see Resources below).

5

Actuate the cylinder on the tire derimmer to eject the rim from the tractor tire. Be sure to clean and inspect the rim after you remove it for damage before trying to set a new tractor tire on it.

How to Get a Labret Piercing

A labret piercing is generally a single piercing below the center of the lower lip, but it can also be done singly or in pairs to either side of the center. You can also have a labret piercing on the upper lip. A variation of the labret is a vertical labret piercing, in which the jewelry is visible both under the lower lip and on top of it.

Instructions

1

Choose the type of labret piercing you want. Browsing through images on websites like BMEzine can give you a good idea of the placement of jewelry for your labret piercing.

2

Find a piercing studio you trust. The labret is a common and easily healed piercing, so any piercing studio you feel good about is a fine place to get it done.

3

Prepare for your labret piercing by thoroughly brushing and flossing your teeth and using a mouthwash. Once you're at the piercing studio, you may be given mouthwash to rinse with before the piercing.

4

Tell your piercer exactly where you want your labret piercing. When she marks your lip for the piercing, check it carefully and ask her to remark it if it isn't perfect.

5

Close your eyes as the piercer prepares to pierce you. Seeing the needle that close might make you flinch, unless you're experienced with piercing.

6

Breathe in as the piercer prepares to push the needle through, and breathe out when the needle makes contact. Breathing in this way reduces the pain and makes you less likely to flinch or move suddenly. As the piercer inserts the jewelry, take a few deep, calming breaths.

7

Maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your labret piercing's healing period. The most common problem with healing is due to too little attention to brushing and flossing.

How to Start an Online Art Gallery

Creating a professional art gallery does not require any advanced technical skill, excessive upfront cash or the headaches of constantly changing your stock. It is very simple and anybody can do it. Become an independent dealer by having your gallery on-line and providing a service in the world of art.

Instructions

Create and Design Your On-Line Gallery

1

Start by seeking out artists who will allow you to display their work on your site. This is known as consignment. Plan to include a brief bio for each artist and at least 5 pieces of their work in a JPEG format photo.

2

Choose and purchase a domain name for your site that will be easy to remember. Look at other websites (non-gallery or gallery related) for design ideas. Portions of a particular style you like can be incorporated into your own. The providers and developers used are normally listed by name or web address. You can them contact them for information and fees.

3

Look for features that meet your needs. See that the provider includes or can develop them into your site. To have a successful gallery, you must consider both development and support of your website, whether by you or a third party source.

4

Your art gallery website should allow you to maintain separate displays of works. Break up the site by artist portfolio, on-line catalogue, web art show, commercial art gallery or private art community.

Promote and Sell from Your On-Line Gallery

5

Promote your site on Google, Yahoo! and other search engines. Strategically add keywords so others can find you. Advertise your gallery on free on-line classifieds and local papers. As you become more successful, advertise in high-profile areas.

6

Configure your on-line gallery to accept PayPal and Google Checkout. It is easy and safe and you are protected.

7

Open a bank account exclusively for the on-line gallery. The monies received from your clients can then be deposited to the account. It will make it easier when tax time comes to keep all financial records in a separate account.

8

Decide who ships out the art work. You may be representing an artist who is long distance; and in that case they will have to ship the package directly to your customer. Have them package, weigh and measure the item and then reimburse them. Buyers feel much more comfortable purchasing items if they know the shipping charges. Look for an e-commerce provider that can supply a shipping cost calculator for UPS, FedEx and USPS.

9

Be an independent gallery owner and have your gallery completely directed by you. With your own website, the gallery will have a unique address, search and browse techniques in place and opens up new artists in the world of art. The versatility of your gallery will obtain a personality of its own and you will be considered an art gallery owner.

How to Cut Out a Tattoo Stencil

Tattoo stencils are an essential part of the tattoo process and ensure that the exact outlines of your tattoos are copied to the client's skin. There are a variety of methods to make a stencil; however, regardless of the type of stencil the simple act of cutting out your stencil can make the quality of the final tattoo.

Instructions

1

Make your tattoo stencil and allow the ink to dry completely. While you must re-wet the ink when you apply it to the skin, allowing the initial ink to dry completely will ensure an even application.

2

Create more than one stencil if you are making identical tattoos. For the best quality, stencils should never be reused. Until you have completed a number of tattoos, you may want to create two stencils each time. If the client is not happy with the positioning of the first stencil or you happen to make a detrimental smudge, you can easily clean up the ink and apply your second stencil.

3

Choose two bordering lines of your stencil that you will use to guide the stencil onto the skin. For example, if you are placing a tattoo on the upper left shoulder, you probably will want to cut the stencil closest to the drawing at the upper edge and the left edge to help you guide the stencil to the right position.

4

Cut the other two edges of the stencil with enough room to hold the stencil firmly in your fingers without touching the ink. If you happen to touch the ink, wash your hands immediately, or you will have stencil ink on everything. Once you have cut your last two edges, you are ready to apply the stencil.

How to Rent Out a Summer Home During Off Season

Renting your summer house offers you the opportunity to keep your house in use while you aren't there. It also provides income from the property, which may be enough to cover the mortgage.

Instructions

1

Decide what to do with your furnishings. If you rent the house furnished, you may be able to ask a higher price. Be prepared to have your property damaged; at the least, expect wear and tear. If you rent your home unfurnished, you need to find a place to store your belongings. This may require you to hire a moving company to set your house up for you before you return for the summer.

2

Calculate rent. You can charge rent weekly or month by month. Look at classified ads, online advertisements or call property management companies to find comparable rates for rentals in your area. Find out if any other major events occur throughout the year when rent should be higher.

3

Use a rental application. You may not need an application if you plan to rent weekly. For longer term rentals, you might want to consider getting a background or credit check on potential renters. Make sure the application gets the full identity, previous rental history and permission to perform checks.

4

Hire a property manager. Most people buy summer homes in places they like to vacation, which means it may not be close to where you live. You want to make sure that someone can keep an eye on your property while you're gone. A property manager can take care of renting the place, collecting rent, maintaining the property and notifying you of any problems. They can also make sure the place gets cleaned between renters and before you arrive.

How to Interpret Abstract Art

Abstract art is different from most art. It is not as much about the subject as about the feeling it invokes. Interpreting abstract art takes more than simply looking at the art. For abstract art to become more than just "a piece," the artist must invoke feelings in the viewer. Interpreting abstract is a very enjoyable task if done correctly.

Instructions

1

Look at the art, but do not search for meaning. Great abstract art evokes feelings or objects within the viewer. Do not focus on one aspect of the art; focus on the piece as a whole.

2

Ask yourself if the piece uses colors, shadows and textures well. Study the art to see if these elements are complementing each other or contradicting each other.

3

Find out the feelings the art evokes. These feelings are created by colors and shapes. Elements that contradict each other create feelings of turmoil, strife, fear, anxiety, hate or sadness. Elements that complement each other create happier, calmer feelings.

4

Read the title of the art. The title may allow you to see the abstract art from another perspective. Ask yourself if the title changed your thoughts about the piece. Some artists also write a small piece explaining the art to the viewer. Some abstract art does not need an explanation because it evokes different feelings and emotions in each viewer.

5

Allow yourself enough time to enjoy and connect with the piece. Abstract art may make an emotional connection with the viewer. Let yourself enjoy and understand the art and what you're feeling because of it.

How to Make a Bead Lizard Key Chain

Making crafts with kids can provide as much entertainment for the adults as for the kids. Creating a bead lizard key chain provides a great opportunity for adults and kids to work together, share some fun and exercise their creativity. These little provide reminders of the fun time you had together and also make great gifts.

Instructions

Making the Head

1

Find the center of your cord by folding it in half. Slide a blue bead up to the center. You will have two strings hanging down from the bead, one on the left and one on the right.

2

Slide two blue beads onto the left string. Then, take the right string and push it through the two beads. Essentially, your strings switch sides. This is your basic stringing step that you'll keep repeating. At this point, your beads form a rough triangle.

3

Add a black, blue, black combination to the left string. Push the right string through just like in Step 2. Add two more blue beads to the left and then, push through the right string. You've just completed the head, eyes and neck.

Making the Body and Legs

4

Create the legs by sliding two blue and three purple beads onto the left string. Still using the left string only, go back through the two blue beads. This pulls the three purple beads into a triangle. Repeat on the other side, using the right string only.

5

Start to form the body by sliding one blue, one purple and then one blue bead onto the left string. With the right string, go through the beads.

6

Add one blue, two purple and one blue bead to the left string. With the right string, go through the beads. Repeat one more time.

7

Form the final row of the body by sliding one blue, one purple and then one blue bead onto the left string. With the right string, go through the beads.

8

Repeat Step 1 of this section to form another pair of legs.

Making the Tail

9

Begin making the tail by stringing two blue beads onto the left string. With the right string, go through the beads.

10

String one purple bead onto the left string and then slide the right string through. Alternate purple and blue beads until you have the tail length you want or you run out of beads.

11

Tie the two strings together and knot them at the end of the last bead. You can tie a key ring onto the end of the tail, or slide it through the nose bead.
