How do you work with the crystals?

TOSOTS - Frequently Asked Questions

If they are small they'll ride around in our bras. We frequently sleep with our rocks too. We don't usually take the time to purposefully meditate with the crystals, although this is a perfectly viable way to work with them, and recommended. For the most part, they understand, and do what they can for us. See similar questions...

What causes ice dams?

Murray Shaw Inc. - Windows Doors Exteriors Alterations Inter...
Ice dams are formed when heat from the inside of a home escapes into the attic and warms the roof decking during the winter. This heat, combined with heat from the sun, can melt snow on the roof. Melting snow on the upper roof and in the valleys then runs down toward the eaves as water. When it reaches the cold eaves and gutters it refreezes. The continual thaw and re-freeze process creates ice dams. See similar questions...

How can I prevent large ice crystals from forming throughout the food?

JCED Food Safety - Frozen Food Storage FAQ
Freeze food as fast as possible. Rapid freezing prevents large ice crystals from forming throughout the product because the molecules don't have time to take their positions in the characteristic six-sided snowflake. Slow freezing creates large, disruptive ice crystals. During thawing, they damage the cells and dissolve emulsions. This causes meat to "drip" and lose juiciness. Emulsions such as mayonnaise and cream will separate and appear curdled. See similar questions...
