INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you put on a harness, make sure it is loose enough. You should be able to put a finger or two between the harness and the guinea pig. If it's too tight, it could harm the guinea pig's back over time and chaff under his armpits. It may not be a good idea to put a harness on at all. Some owners have had trouble with harnesses harming guinea pigs' backs after they've worn it several times. If you insist on using a leash, make sure you just do it in the yard. That is, you can use a leash to keep your guinea pig from wandering too far. However, you need to supervise the guinea pig the whole time. A leash isn't license to leave your guinea pig alone outside. Also, don't tug on the leash. Just let your guinea pig roam about. Make sure the leash is always loose, and your guinea pig doesn't get tangled in it. While you can put your guinea pig in a harness, it's not a good idea to walk it on a leash. The tugging sensation can harm the guinea pig's delicate spine very easily. In addition, most guinea pigs won't take to walking, meaning they can't be trained to walk beside you on a leash. In addition, guinea pigs can easily slip out of harnesses, so they can escape before you can catch them. Therefore, trying to walk a guinea pig in a street isn't a good idea. It could get away from you and be harmed.

SUMMARY: Make sure the harness isn't too tight. Use leashes just for the yard. Don't walk your guinea pig.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This time of year is when pomelos, which are largely imported from South East Asia, will be ripest. They are sometimes available before and after this window, but for the ripest fruit look during these two months. Look for a pomelo that feels heavy, which means it is full of delicious juice. A light pomelo is apt to be dry inside. Avoid pomelos that are bruised or have soft areas of rot. Consider pink, yellow and green colored pomelos when selecting a fruit. Ripe pomelos can vary greatly in color. The color isn't a great indicator of ripeness. Ripe pomelos have a subtle sweet fragrance. Sniff a couple and find the sweetest smelling one that looks the most appetizing to you. Keep your whole pomelo cool in the fridge to keep it from spoiling. After one week, the pomelo may start to turn. Store any cut pomelo segments in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days before tossing.

SUMMARY: Select pomelos from mid-January through February. Choose a pomelo that is heavy for its size. Choose a light green to pink pomelo. Sniff for a sweet scent. Store pomelos in the fridge for up to one week.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Open your crafting table and place a chunk of redstone in the center. Place a redstone torch on either side, then three stone blocks on the lowest row. Repeat this recipe to make a second block. Look for red-flecked redstone ore deep underground (at least 47 blocks below sea level.) Mine it with an iron or diamond pick. You'll need several extra chunks of redstone as well. To make a redstone torch, craft one chunk of redstone above a stick. Place a single iron door wherever you need your entrance. Place a pressure plate on the external side of the door, but not near enough to activate it. Keep a second pressure plate in your inventory for now. Craft an iron door with a tall 2 x 3 pattern of iron ingots. Craft a pressure plate with two stone or wooden blocks side by side. Place a redstone chunk directly on any solid, opaque block next to the pressure plate. Make a line of redstone from the pressure plate to a redstone repeater, then another line from the repeater to the door. Make sure the line on the repeater connects the lines of redstone. You can hide the redstone underground to make the entrance look nicer, but you might want to practice with everything out in the open first. Normally, pressure plates can be used by any player or monster who walks over them. You'll need to block the redstone connection to lock the door. The first step is placing a lever near the interior side of your door, but not right next to it. Craft a lever by placing a stick over a block of stone. Turn 90 degrees and place a second redstone repeater next to the first. The line of torches visible on one repeater should be at right angles to the line on the second. When this second repeater is activated, it will block the first repeater, breaking the connection between the pressure plate and the door. Use another line of redstone to connect the lever to the second repeater. As before, make sure the line of redstone meets the line visible on the repeater. From outside, walk over the pressure plate and through the door. Wait for the door to close, then use the lever to push it to the "on" position. This will lock the door in its current state (closed), preventing the pressure plate outside from functioning. Place your second pressure plate on the interior of the door, right in front of it. This one is not connected to the redstone, so you can use it to leave the room at any time. Careful if the lever is in the locked position, you will lock yourself out.

SUMMARY: Make two redstone repeaters. Make an iron door and two pressure plates. Connect the pressure plate with a repeater, then the door. Place a lever on the interior side. Place a second repeater blocking the first. Connect the lever with the second repeater. Test your door. Leave the room with your second pressure plate.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Salt buildup on the lips can cause them to dry out quickly. Changing your diet so that it includes less salt might make a big difference in the texture of your lips. When you do eat salty foods, rinse your lips with warm water afterward so the salt doesn't sit on your lips. Smoking is tough on lips, causing dryness and irritation. If you're a smoker, there are lots of good reasons to kick the habit, and having healthy lips is one of them. Try to cut back on smoking as much as possible to save your lips from getting damaged. Just like the rest of your skin, the skin on your lips is susceptible to sun damage. Wear lip balm with SPF 15 or higher to protect your lips from getting burned. There's nothing like the cold, dry air of winter to make your lips dry and flaky. If you tend to pick your lips more in the winter than in the summer, that's why. Try pulling your scarf up over your mouth when you go outside to protect your lips from the cold.

SUMMARY:
Eat less salt. Avoid smoking. Protect your lips from sunburn. Cover your face in cold or dry weather.
