These are papers that I have written over time to answer questions about various subjects. The information presented here is just one man's opinion. I'm sure that there are other opinions and different ways of solving the same problems, so my advice is to read and learn from as many sources as you can.
This information is strictly "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK". It is not complete nor does it contain warnings about possibly life threatening hazards.
