The first thing on your cookout checklist should be main course foods. Hamburgers and hot dogs will most likely be expected by meat eaters at a traditional cookout. If your cookout is for a fancy or special occasion, you may want to opt for fancier foods like steak, barbecued chicken or ribs. When hosting a cookout, you should always provide non-meat and fish options for potential vegetarians in the crowd, unless you are 100 percent sure that the people you've invited eat chicken, beef and pork products. Vegetarian options include grilled eggplant, veggie burgers and veggie dogs. It is also a good idea to have salmon burgers and tuna steaks on hand, as some vegetarians eat fish.
Side Dishes and Finger Foods
The next items on your checklist should be one or two classic cookout side dishes. These include fresh green salads and corn on the cob. You can also choose one of the many egg and mayonnaise based products such as potato or pasta salad and deviled eggs. You will also want to add finger food to your list; this way your guests have something to nosh on while they wait for the grilled foods to cook. This includes plain or flavored potato chips, tortilla chips and salsa, guacamole or fresh cut veggies and dip. Fresh cut veggies are obviously the healthiest option. You can also opt for baked potato chip varieties.
Condiments and Essentials
With all the focus on the main courses and side dishes, it is easy to forget some of the most important condiments and essentials. Adding these products to your checklist ahead of time will ensure that you won't be caught without one of these cookout basics. Make sure you have plenty of condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and relish. If you are serving barbecued chicken or steak, make sure that you have extra barbecue sauce and steak sauce on hand. Additionally, add cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, baked beans and pickles to your list if you are serving hamburgers and hot dogs. Also, don't forget hamburger and hot dog buns.
Drinks and Desserts
Primarily, on a hot day, you need to make sure that you have plenty of cool fresh water on hand. Guests will also enjoy fruit juices and punches, sports drinks, seltzer and sodas. For an adult beverage option, add chilled white wine and beer to your list. Because cookout foods pack a lot of calories, you can keep your cookout healthy by ending the meal with fresh watermelon or a fresh fruit salad. Other more traditional desserts to add to your checklist include strawberries and whipped cream or brownies.

How to Email a Large Microsoft Publisher FileIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Browse to your saved Publisher file on your computer, but do not open it.
Right-click the file and choose 'Send to' from the menu.
Select 'Compressed (zipped) folder.' Publisher files often contain images, multiple fonts and formatting that increase the file size. Compression lets your computer store these items in a smaller package.
Hover your mouse pointer over the compressed/zipped file when the process completes. A window with the file's size should appear next to your pointer, and it will be less than the original file's size. If this is small enough to send, simply attach the compressed folder to your email and mail it as you normally would. Compression amounts vary according to file, so this may or may not shrink the file size enough for standard email.
Third-Party Senders
Visit a file transfer site that helps users send large emails, such as Pando, You Send It or Send This File (see Resources). Most file transfer sites offer free services for sending single files, and charge only for multiple files or faster delivery. However, some free services have size limits, so read the specifications carefully before choosing a service.
Browse to the Publisher file on your computer through the site's upload interface and upload your Publisher file into the system.
Enter your email recipient's address and your email address in the appropriate fields, and follow any other onscreen instructions to complete the process.
Notify your file's recipient in a separate email to expect the file, especially if that person is wary of downloading files from the Internet.

How to Sell Homemade FurnitureIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
For most craftspeople, initial sales come from their local area, such as neighbors that spot a chair you made and want one for themselves. That market will probably dry up quickly, but it provides you an opportunity to build some word-of-mouth marketing. You can also place ads in the local paper or in publications that cater to handcrafted items. Another option is to print brochures and catalogs to distribute at local handmade craft stores, fairs and shows. Craft shows that judge the best designers are especially effective because they give you access to customers as well as a chance to win awards that bolster your credibility.
Online Sales
The Internet offers multiple options for you to sell your furniture. A dedicated website that features images of your furniture, prices and contact info gives you access to the global marketplace. Be sure you have a secure payment processing system in place so it's easy for customers to conduct transactions. You can also sell through craft or auction sites such as Etsy or eBay. These sites typically provide the website infrastructure and payment processing, but also hit you with commission or processing fees.
