In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a vegetable brush to scrub the yams to remove dirt and roots. Rinse the yams under cool running water. Do not peel them yet; you will do that after you cook them. Because of this, it's important that the yams are clean. Take a look at the yams to make sure they are fresh. Use a paring knife to slice off any bruised or black spots. Leaving the peels on will help the yams cook evenly while keeping the flesh intact. If you'd prefer to peel the yams first, your candied yams will taste delicious but won't have a firm texture. Use a large pot big enough to fit all of the yams. Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the yams by about an inch. Make sure the water is several inches from the rim of the pot, or it will bubble over as the yams cook. Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a full boil. Boil the yams for about 20 minutes, until you can easily poke into their centers with a fork. The yams should be tender, but not mushy. When the yams are ready, remove them from heat and drain the water from the pot. Keep the pot close by; you will be putting the yams back into the pot later on. If you're in a hurry, transfer the yams to a cooking rack to cool off. Otherwise, just keep the yams in the pot while you begin making the glaze. When the yams are cool enough to handle, remove the peels with your fingers. They should easily come off in strips. Try to keep the flesh of the yams intact as you peel. Keep going until all of the yams are peeled. Set the yams on a cutting board. Use a paring knife to slice the yams into to inch (0.64 to 1.27 centimeters) thick discs. The discs should all be the same thickness. The sizes of the discs will vary according to the shape of the yams which taper at the ends. Keep the pot covered, so that the yams don't dry out or lose color. You will be mixing the glaze into the yams later.
Summary: Scrub the yams. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Boil the yams until they are tender. Drain the water and keep the pot on hand. Peel the yams. Slice the yams into discs. Place the sliced yams back into the pot.

Look for a kitten that doesn't seem shy or quiet and that has plenty of energy. Kittens with these personalities will adapt the best to homes with other friendly pets such as cats or dogs. They enjoy homes with plenty of entertainment and people to play with. Consider your existing cat when you are choosing a kitten. If your existing cat is very shy, poorly socialized, or doesn't respond well to other pets then it may be best not to get a new kitten. Shy and quiet kittens do best in homes with little noise and bustle. If you live alone or in a quiet household, then a shy or quiet kitten would be an ideal match. These kittens often form close bonds with their owners and can be playful at times as well as making good lap cats. Older kittens that are almost adults tend to be more mature and less rambunctious than when they are young. This makes them ideal for smaller children as they are likely to be more patient and less frightened of all of the attention. If you have young children, older and neutered male kittens are often the best choice. This is because they tend to be the most laid back. They also tend to tolerate being handled better than females, which is important as small children will naturally be very inquisitive and want to be involved. For elderly people, older kittens also tend to be a good choice. This is because young kittens are more energetic and more easily get underfoot. The characteristics of your existing cat are important when choosing the right kitten for your home. Younger, playful male cats get on well with energetic male kittens. Older female cats tend to respond the best to young and calm female kittens. Playful adult females enjoy the company of energetic female kittens. Laid back, older male cats that have been neutered tend to respond well to both male and female kittens. Male kittens tend to be more playful with other cats and with people than female kittens. Sometimes older female cats can become irritated by male kittens due to their playful nature. Many long-haired cats require regular brushing whereas short-haired cats usually require far less grooming and maintenance. Think about if you will have the time to commit to the grooming requirements of a long-haired kitten. Choose a short-haired kitten if you are unsure.

One-sentence summary -- Pick a confident, playful kitten if you have other pets at home. Consider a shy kitten if you don't have small children or other pets. Get an older kitten if you have small children living in your home. Get a kitten that's the same sex as your existing cat if you have one. Choose a short-haired kitten if you're worried about shedding or grooming.

Problem: Article: If no one has gone out by the time all the cards in the stock have been drawn, play continues as long as someone can take the top card of the discard pile and put it with a new or existing meld. However, no player down to a single card can take a discard pile of a single card. Play ends when any player with more than 1 card in hand cannot take the discard pile. If the last card from the draw pile is a bonus card, play it and end the round right away. You score points for each meld you made and lose points for anything left in your hand. Use the card values to calculate the point total and write it down. Remember to include any bonus points earned! When you're done, shuffle and deal all the cards to start the next round. Use the point values of the individual cards to total up the melds and any leftover cards. Subtract the value of the cards in your hands from your total score. Mixed canastas made with wildcards are worth 300 points, but natural canastas are worth 500. Any player who goes out by melding all their cards gets 100 bonus points. They get 200 if they did it in a single turn. Red 3s are worth 100 points each unless you have all 4 of them. Then they are worth 200. However, if you have any left in your hand, you lose 100 points. A game of canasta plays out over multiple rounds, so keep a running tally of the point totals. The first team to race to 5,000 points wins. If multiple people get there in the same round, then whoever has the most points wins.
Summary:
Continue play until the stock is exhausted or all players have gone out. Score all the cards played once each round comes to an end. End the game when a team reaches 5,000 total points.
