INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are affordable clippers marketed for general customers, but you'll find these won't be able to handle the challenge of a thick coat. While fine for a Yorkshire Terrier or Shih Tzu, a cheaper set won't be up to the task of a Labrador, Collie, or Akita. Go with a professional-grade set from your local pet store. Ask a store employee for help finding the best set for your dog's breed. A professional set will typically cost between 130 and 160 US dollars. This is still cheaper than taking your dog to the groomers regularly. Professional clippers use interchangeable blades that can be removed and inexpensively resharpened, preserving their longevity. Many professional clippers come with a #10 blade, which trims too short for most long-haired dog breeds. When it comes to blade numbers, the higher the number, the shorter the cut. Note that a #7 will risk pulling the skin between teeth, causing tearing and cuts. For the same reason, unless you are very experienced, you should make sure your blade is marked FC, or finish cut. The alternative, a skip-tooth blade, can pull and tear at skin if you aren't experienced. As an additional precaution, look for a clipper with a guide comb attachment. This comb will prevent the blade from getting too close to your dog's skin and cutting the dog. You won't be able to use clippers on more sensitive areas, like around your dog's eyes, private parts, and feet. Choosing blunted-edge shears is best for inexperienced groomers. If the dog jerks or moves unexpectedly, a sharper edged shear might cause an injury. Thinning shears are a good choice, too. They only trim a specific area instead of the entire run of the shear blade, so you're less likely to unintentionally cut out a chunk of fur. If you're just giving your dog a quick trim, skip the clipper cut and just use shears on the detailed areas. If your dog's full coat needs a trim, don't use shears on the entire body. This is time consuming and you'll have a higher risk of making a mistake or hurting your dog with the shears. Even during the summer, you should never shave your long-haired dog's coat down completely. You can trim down for a summer cut, but still leave around an inch of fur, depending on the breed. It's always best to ask your vet or professional groomer for advice before attempting to trim, especially if you're inexperienced.

SUMMARY: Choose a professional-grade clipper. Use #4 FC or #5 FC clipper blade. Go with blunted-edge and thinning shears. Avoid shaving your dog.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're connected to your broadband via Wi-Fi, try to connect directly using a LAN cable instead. Connect your computer directly to the router using the LAN cable. If after the direct LAN cable connection you still don't have Internet connection, the problem isn't with your Wi-Fi. The problem may be outside your own home or with the service provider. It can also be the router itself.
Summary: Get a LAN cable. Plug the LAN cable to the router. Call customer support.

These types of fascinator bases will provide the most stability. Opt for a 1in (2.5cm) or wider headband or a 3in (7.6cm) hair clip. Avoid using combs and small clips because these may not be strong enough to keep the fascinator on your head. Make sure the headband or hair clip does not have any bumps, glitter, or other items on its surface that might make it hard to glue your fascinator in place. Opt for a plain, smooth-surfaced headband or hair clip. If using a headband, apply enough glue to cover the diameter of your felt base, and position the line of glue so that it is slightly off to the side you want to wear the fascinator on. For example, if you want to wear the fascinator so it tilts to the right, apply the line of glue starting at the center of the headband and going to the right. Do not apply hot glue to the inside of the hair clip, or you may not be able to reopen it. Press the bottom of the felt disc onto the line of glue on the headband immediately after you apply it. Hot glue dries quickly! Hold the felt base tightly against the headband or hair clip for about 30 seconds to ensure that it is completely dry. Your fascinator is complete after the glue is dry! Try it on and see how it looks.

One-sentence summary -- Opt for a headband or large metal hair clip to secure your fascinator base. Apply a thick line of hot glue to the top of the headband or hair clip. Press the felt disc onto the headband or barrette.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are two canning techniques. One uses a pressure canner, a device that subjects canned food to high pressures to create high temperatures. The other method is to use a boiling-water canner, a device in which canned food is submerged in boiling water. When canning meat, seafood, poultry, and vegetables, pressure canning is the only canning method recognized as safe by the USDA. In addition to a canning device, canning at home requires a glass jar (a Mason jar, typically) and, of course, the food that you wish to can. If you grow your own produce, you could save even more money on your canning materials. You can often assemble canning materials including a canning machine for free on digital marketplaces like Craigslist. Try to get a set of canning jars for free or at a discount rate (but be sure to sterilize them by boiling them in water before use). If you have a community garden in your area, you might be able to lease a small plot for yourself to grow the veggies you want to can. There are two standard canning methods. One is known as "hot packing." This involves blanching your food (usually vegetables), then loading it tightly into canning jars along with some of the water they were blanched in. The other is known as "raw packing." This involves placing raw food into a canning jar and pouring very hot water over it. If you have a boiling-water canner, you should raw-pack your canned food. If you have a pressure canner, you should hot-pack your canned food. After hot packing, seal the jar with a metal lid, and follow the directions that came with your canning device to determine your next steps. The amount of time your canned food will need to spend in the canning device depends on how much you have and what sort of food it is. The only additional cost when canning is your time. Pressure canners work faster than boiling-water canners. Once you've canned your own foods, you'll need to assign each can an expiration date so that it can be incorporated into your pantry system. Generally, home-canned food is best eaten within one year.

SUMMARY:
Choose your method. Assemble your materials. Can your food. Determine expiration dates.
