| How to Whiten Yellow Hair Posted: 22 Mar 2016 05:00 PM PDT Bleaching your own hair is cheap and fun, but it rarely ends up platinum blonde. If you have yellow, orange, or brassy tones after bleaching, cover them up with these whitening treatments. EditUsing Toner - Use a toner after bleaching. Dark hair often ends up with orange or yellow tones after bleaching. The right toner will cancel out these brassy tones and makes your hair closer to white or platinum blonde.
- Find purple toner in a drugstore. Just about any pharmacy should carry toner, and you might even find it in the hair product aisle of a supermarket. Pick a purple or violet toner to remove yellow tones.
- Mix it with red gold corrector (optional). If you also have undesired reddish tones in your hair, buy red gold corrector from a salon or online. Mix this with the toner according to label instructions.
- Green or blue toner will cancel out reddish or orange tones without the need for a corrector, but will leave your hair yellow, not white.
- Mix with a creme developer. Choose a developer with 30 volume or less. High volume developers may make bleached hair weak or even cause it to fall out.
- Apply according to label instructions. Check the toner label to find out how long you need to leave it on your hair. Leaving it in too long can make your hair purple, so don't overdo it.
- Alternatively, a very easy option is to simply book an appointment with a hairdresser for a toner to be put in. It takes less than half an hour, and can be as cheap as about $20.
EditUsing Purple Shampoo - Select a purple shampoo for regular upkeep. A purple color-correcting shampoo will counteract the yellow tones and make your hair appear brighter and blonder. This is not as strong as toner, since it is intended for regular use. Here are a few examples of purple or violet shampoos:
- Tressa Watercolors Violet Washe Shampoo
- John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew Tone-Correcting
- Clairol Shimmer Lights
- Pravana Pure Light Brightening Shampoo for Blonde, Silver, or Highlighted Hair
- Any shampoo with "D&C Violet" or "Extract Violet" in the ingredients list
- Wash your hair with purple shampoo. Apply the purple shampoo instead of normal shampoo, then rinse out and follow it with conditioner.
- Repeat every two or three washes. Too much purple shampoo will leave your hair with a light purple reflection. Apply every two or three washes, or even less often once the brassy tones have gone.
EditUsing Gentian Violet - Buy gentian violet at a pharmacy. Find a tiny bottle of this dark purple liquid, at low concentrations (preferably 2%). It will usually be in the same aisle as bandages and antiseptics.
- Mix two drops in a basin of cold water. Don't add any more, or you may end up with purple hair! The water should be a violet color, not dark purple.
- Careful — gentian violet will stain anything it touches. You may want to try this outside instead of in your sink.
- Dip all of your hair in the basin. Leave your hair underwater for 30–60 seconds. This should lighten your hair color and reduce yellow or brassy tones.
- Dry your hair. Keep in mind that your towel may be stained purple.
- Repeat weekly. Repeat the process once a week for continuous color.
EditLightening Hair with Lemon - Treat your hair with lemon juice. Squeeze out some lemon juice and rub it against the yellow areas of your hair. You can also apply it along with your shampoo for a more mild effect.
- Spend time in the sun (optional). Heat and sunlight will help the lemon juice lighten your hair.[1]
- Condition your hair. Leaving lemon juice in your hair too long can cause damage from the acid. Conditioning your hair or using alkali products will help prevent this.
- You can also mix one drop of Gentian Violet with your bottle of conditioner or shampoo for maximum whitening. Don't put more than one drop in a 500ml bottle. Mix it in a bowl and then put back in the bottle, making sure that all of the shampoo or conditioner is one color.
- You can add light brown dye over bleached yellow hair to give it a natural blonde look.
- Leaving bleach in longer can help prevent yellow or brassy tones, which are left over when the bleach picks up the darker pigments. Use a lower volume developer so you can leave the bleach in longer without damage. Lower volume developers are also recommended near the crown, since the body heat here can speed up bleaching A strand test can help you figure out how to achieve the desired color.

| How to Send Email Using Telnet Posted: 22 Mar 2016 09:00 AM PDT Software like Thunderbird and Outlook make sending e-mail seem like magic. Well, until your e-mail never arrives at its destination. How can you find out what really happens when you click "Send?" One option is to send a test message from your e-mail provider's outbound server with telnet, a tiny application that came with your computer. You may catch an error message that your e-mail software didn't. EditConnecting to the Mail Server with Telnet - Get telnet. If you're using MacOS or Windows XP, your version of telnet is ready to use. If you have Windows Vista, 2008 server, 7, 8.1 or 10, you'll need to enable telnet before you can use it.
- Windows Vista, 2008 server, 7 and 8.1: Click on the Start Menu and then select Control Panel. Click Programs, and select "Turn Windows features on or off." This will bring up a list of Windows Features. Scroll down until you see "Telnet Client," and put a check in that box. Click "OK." [1]
- Windows 10: Right-click the Start menu and select Programs and Features. Click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the left menu. In the list that pops up, put a check in the box next to "Telnet client" and click "OK."
- Open a terminal window. This is a little different between Windows and Mac.
- Any version of Windows: Press , type
cmd, then press . - Mac: In Finder, select "Applications," then "Utilities." Double-click the "Terminal" icon. [2] You can also access Terminal by typing it into Launchpad and clicking it.
- Open a telnet connection. Type
telnet mail.server.com 25 where "mail.server.com" is the name of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server of your email provider (such as smtp-server.austin.rr.com) and 25 is the port number used by the SMTP service. - You should receive a reply like "220 mail.server.com."
- Port 25 is the port for most mail servers, but some network administrators move SMTP to a different port, like 465 (a secure port) or 587 (for Microsoft Outlook users) [3]. Ask your administrator (or check your account information) for the correct port.
- If you receive an error message, such as "Cannot connect to host on port 25," and you are sure that port 25 is the correct port, the mail server is likely experiencing an issue.
EditSending Your Message - Greet the server. The reset of the steps are the same no matter which operating system you're using. Type
HELO yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is the domain name from which you send e-mail. Note that there is only one L in HELO. Press . - You should receive a reply like "250 mail.server.com Hello yourdomain.com pleased to meet you."
- If you receive no response or an error message, try
EHLO instead of HELO. Some servers prefer one to the other. - Enter the sender "header" information. Type
mail from: you@server.com, using your own e-mail address. Make sure there is a space after the mail from:. Press . - You should receive message that says something similar to "250 Sender OK."
- If you see an error, double-check that you're using an e-mail address with the same domain as the server. Your server may not allow you to send a message with your yahoo.com address, for example.
- Enter the e-mail address of the recipient. Type
rcpt to: friend@friendsdomain.com, where the e-mail address is that of your actual recipient. Press . - You should see a message that says something along the lines of "250 OK – MAIL FROM you@yourdomain.com "
- If you receive an error, the e-mail address you are trying to send a message to may be blocked.
- Compose your message. You'll need to enter a few commands to format and send the message.
- Type
data and press . - On the next line, type
subject: test and press twice. Replace "test" with your desired subject. - Type your message. When you're done, press .
- Type a single to end the message, then press . You should see a message that confirms your message was accepted or queued. This message varies across servers.
- If you see any sort of error message, write it down and contact your e-mail provider.
- Type
quit to exit telnet. Press . - The same telnet commands work with any telnet software, even on Linux.
- Some mail services (such as Hotmail) don't allow users to send e-mail via telnet.[4]
- Some e-mail clients will filter mail sent in this manner to a user's spam mailbox. If you're using this method to test your account, make sure you check the destination user's spam folder for the test message.
- You can also check your mail with telnet. See How to Check Email with Telnet
- Using this method to send harassing or illegal messages could easily catch up with you. System administrators closely monitor their outbound mail servers.
EditThings You'll Need - Internet connection
- Telnet client
- The address of a mail server capable of relaying mails.
- Valid email address.

| How to Make a Minion from Despicable Me Posted: 22 Mar 2016 01:00 AM PDT Let's face it, those minions from Despicable Me are just too cute. There are many different ways you can make a minion. This article will show you a few of those ways. EditMaking a Toilet Paper Roll Minion - Gather your supplies. This minion uses a toilet paper roll as a base. It is simple and easy to make, and perfect for anyone who loves to work with glue and paint. Here's what you will need:
- Toilet paper roll
- Blue and yellow paint
- Black and yellow paper
- Black marker
- 1 – 2 large googly eyes
- Glue
- Paintbrushes
- Newspaper
- Masking tape or paper tape
- Black yarn or pipe cleaners
- Stuff a toilet paper roll with crumpled up newspaper. This will make your minion nice and solid. If you cannot find a toilet paper roll, try cutting a paper towel roll in half, or into thirds.
- Crumple up some newspaper into a ball and stick it on top of the toilet paper roll. This will make the domed shape of the minion's head.[1]
- Cover the newspaper dome with masking tape. This will cover the top of the head and make it smooth. Keep covering it with tape from different angles until you can't see the newspaper anymore.[2]
- Make sure that you are using masking tape or paper tape, or the paint won't stick to it. Regular scotch tape is too smooth.
- Paint the top half yellow and the bottom half blue and allow the paint to dry. The yellow part will be the body of the minion and the blue part will be the overalls.
- Finish painting the overalls once the paint has dried. Use a thin brush to paint two "n" shapes across from each other, right above the blue part of the tube. This will make the straps.
- Draw the feet on a sheet of black paper. Start by placing the minion down on a sheet of black paper. Trace around the minion using a pencil. Take the minion off the paper and draw an "m" right above the circle. Make sure that the bottom of the "m" is touching the top of the circle. Also, make sure that the "m" is the same width as the circle. The arches from the "m" will make the shoes. Cut the circle out; be sure to include the "m" shape.
- Glue the minion down onto the feet. Use school glue or tacky glue to line the bottom rim of the toilet paper roll. Place a few drops of glue onto the newspaper inside the minion as well. Press the minion down onto the feet. The arches from the "m" should be sticking out from under the minion, like shoes.
- Draw two arms on yellow paper and cut them out. If you want, you can paint or color the hands black to look like gloves. Minion arms are shaped like long, skinny rectangles; they have three loops at one end, sort of like a three-leaf clover.
- Glue the arms onto the minion. Fold the bottom of each arm by 1 centimeter. Put a drop of glue onto the folded part, and press it against the minion, just below the shoulder strap.
- Make the goggles. Glue one or two large googly eyes down for the eyes. Use a marker to draw around each eye. This will make the frame of the goggles. Next, use a marker to draw a line going around the entire head, from one side of the goggles to the other. This will be the strap.
- If your minion has two eyes, make sure that the googly eyes are touching each other.[3] Minion eyes are very close together.
- Glue some yarn or pipe cleaners onto the top of the head to make the hair. Cut some yarn, and glue it onto the top of the head. If you want your minion to have spiked hair, cut a pipe cleaner into 1 inch (2.54 centimeter) pieces, and poke them onto the top of the minion's head. If they don't go in too easily, make the hole first using a toothpick.
- Add the face and other details. Use a black marker to draw the mouth. You can also use it to draw the buttons and pocket on the overalls. In the movie, the minions had a letter "G" on the front pocket of the overalls. You can use that, or use the first letter of your name to make the minion your personal minion.
EditMaking a Sock Minion - Gather your supplies. This minion requires a bit of sewing, but it is cute and squishy once finished. Here's a list of what you will need:
- Banana-yellow sock
- Blue sock
- Teddy bear stuffing
- Needle and thread
- Scissors
- Googly eyes
- Yarn
- Black buttons
- Black and grey felt
- Black yarn
- Fabric glue
- Purchase two pairs of socks. You need a bright yellow sock, the color of a banana. You will also need a blue sock.
- Measure from the toe of the yellow sock down to where the heel begins and cut it. You will be using the toe/foot part to make the minion's body. Save the top part for later; you will need that to make the arms.
- Fill the sock with teddy bear stuffing and sew it close with a running stitch. Make the running stitch about 1 centimeter away from the cut hem. Gently pull on the thread to close the sock and tuck the raw edges inside. If the stuffing starts to come out, poke it back in with your finger. Tie the thread off in a knot and cut it.[4]
- Cut the toe off of the blue sock. How long you make it will depend on how large you want the overalls to be. Most minions' overalls stop about half-way up their body.
- Cut two half circles out of the blue sock, one from each side. Measure down 1 centimeter from the top part of the sock. Cut a small half circle along the folded part. Repeat this for the other side. This will make the arm holes/shoulder straps of the overalls.
- Pull the overalls onto your minion's body and secure it with fabric glue. Draw a thin line of glue along the top, inside edge of the overalls, as well as around each arm hole. Tug the overalls on, and press the top edge of the blue sock down onto the minion's body. If the edges of the overalls keep popping up, pin them down with some sewing pins. You can remove the pins once the glue dries.
- Draw and cut out the arms. Start by drawing two minion arm shapes on the top part of the yellow sock and cut them out; be sure to cut through both layers of the sock so that you end up with four pieces.
- Sew the arms together and stuff them. Pin the right sides together of each arm. Sew around the edges; try to keep the seam allowance as small as possible. Be sure to leave the narrow bottom part of the arm open. Turn each piece inside out, and fill it with teddy bear stuffing.
- A minion arm is shaped like a skinny rectangle. The hand is shaped like 3 loops, sort of like a 3-leaf clover.
- Draw and cut out the feet. Cut two L shapes out of the top part of the blue sock. The back/straight part of each L should be on the fold of the sock. You will end up with two pieces.
- Sew the feet and stuff them. Pin wrong sides together of each L shape. You should end up with two Ls, but that have the fuzzy side of the sock showing. Sew around each L shape. Try to keep the seam-allowance as small as possible. Leave the top part of each foot/L shape open. Turn each L shape inside out and fill it with stuffing.
- Stitch the arms and feet on. The arms will go onto the minion's body, just beneath the shoulder straps. You can make them stick straight out, like a T, or you can have them hanging down by the minion's sides. The feet will go onto the bottom of the minion. The toes should be pointing towards you. Try to use the ladder-stitch while doing this to make it as seem-less as possible.
- Decorate the overalls. Use fabric glue to attach a small, black button to the front of each shoulder strap. Cut a square from the left-over blue sock, and glue it down onto the front of the overalls to make the pocket. Use a fabric marker to draw the stitching, pockets, and the initial.
- In the movies, the minions had a letter "G" on the front of their pockets. You can draw a "G" too, or you can make it your own minion and draw the first letter of your name instead.
- Make the goggles using grey felt and googly eyes. Cut two circles out of grey felt that are a little bit larger than the googly eyes you are using. Use Put a drop of fabric glue onto the back of each eye, then press each eye down onto the grey felt circles. Then, use fabric glue to attach the felt circles to the minion. If your minion has two eyes, make sure that the felt circles are touching.
- Glue down a thin strip of black felt for the goggle strap. Place a thin line of fabric glue all around the head, going from one side of the goggles to the next. Press the felt down onto the glue.
- Cut pieces of black yarn to make the hair, and attach it to the minion's head using fabric glue. You can cut the yarn however long you want it. If you want your minion to have spiky hair, tie knots at the end of the yarn pieces, and glue the bottom of the knot to the top of the head.
- Color in the mouth, gloves, and shoes with a black fabric marker. Minions make many silly faces, so you can draw the mouth however you want. When you are done making the face, use the marker to color in the hands; this will be the minion's gloves. Then, use the marker to color in the bottom part of the feet. This will be the shoes.
- Remember, minions don't have noses or eyebrows.
EditMaking a Kinder Surprise Egg Minion - Gather your supplies. The yellow capsules that come inside Kinder Surprises almost look like minions. All they need are some small details. This section will show you how to make a minion using a Kinder Surprise egg. If you live in the United States, however, you won't be able to find these in a store; you will need to purchase them online. Here's what you'll need:
- 1 Kinder Surprise egg
- Blue paint
- Nail, awl, knitting needle, or small screwdriver
- Yellow pipe cleaner
- Air-dry clay
- Black marker
- Googly eyes
- Black yarn
- Glue
- Find a Kinder Surprise egg. These are unavailable in the United States, but you can purchase the eggs on Amazon. You can also try using plastic Easter eggs, although they might be more difficult to drill through. You can use other options like any egg shape toy or snack packaging. Simply paint it yellow and glue them together.
- Glue the egg shut. Open the egg and place a thin line of super glue along the inside rim. Close the egg and wait for the glue to dry. This will help keep your Minion together longer.
- Use a nail or screw driver to poke a hole on each side of the egg, right above the seam. This will make the arm holes.[5]
- Cut two short pieces of yellow pipe cleaner and poke each piece into each hole.[6]
- Secure each piece with hot glue. Do this by folding 1 centimeter of each pipe cleaner arm inside the egg. Place a large drop of hot glue over each fold.
- Paint the bottom half of the egg blue using acrylic paint. This will be the uniform. If you want, you can also paint n's right above the seam line to make the straps.
- Consider drawing the pocket with a black pen. In the movie, the Minions also had a letter "G" on the front pocket. You can also make this your personal minion instead, and draw your first initial instead.
- Make the gloves and shoes out of air dry clay. You can use any color of clay, and color it black later, of you can use black clay.
- Once you make the gloves, stick them onto the arms before they dry.
- Color the gloves and shoes. You can use black paint or a marker. Let the paint dry before moving on.
- Add the hair. Cut some black yarn into short pieces, and attach it to the top of the minions head using some glue.
- Glue on one or two googly eyes onto the top half of the egg. Place the glue onto the egg first, then press the eye down onto it.
- Secure the shoes and gloves. The gloves should already be on the arms, but you might want to put some glue around the cuff of each glove so that it won't fall off. To attach the shoes, place a large drop of glue on to the of each shoe, and press it against the bottom of the minion.
- Use a black marker to draw the face and goggle strap. Minions make lots of silly, random faces, so you can draw whatever you want for the face. To draw the goggle strap, simply draw a thin line going all the way around the head, from one side of the goggle to the other.
- Create your own Minion army! Be sure to keep the uniform the same, though!
- If you want your minion to look just like those yellow little critters paint or tape and clay the exact colors.
- Make your own logo for the Minion's pocket!
- Make your minion's uniform look different! It's all up to you!
- Your Minion doesn't have to stay yellow! It can be any color you like!
- Be careful if you are using a hot glue gun. Don't burn yourself!
- Try not to run out of supplies!
- If you live in America, you can't use a Kinder Surprise container.
