Article: You want to make sure you find a solid breeder. Know how to identify a good breeder before you agree to purchase a puppy.  Good breeders want to meet with potential buyers before making a sale. This is because responsible and ethical dog breeders want to make sure their puppies go to good homes. If a breeder asks a lot of questions, don't be alarmed. This is a positive thing. It means the breeder cares about the health and safety of her puppies.  A good breeder will also be respectful of you and allow you to ask questions. The breeder you buy from should have no reservations about allowing you to meet and interact with both the mother and the father of the puppies.  A good breeder should be able to provide you with health certificates for all the puppies in a litter. These certificates will assure you your puppy is not prone to any breed-specific health concerns. Once you know how to recognize the markings of a quality breeder, you can begin your search.  The internet is a wonderful resource to find breeders. The AKC has a website that allows you to search for breeders by breed and locations.  The Siberian Husky Club of America also has a breeder referral list on their website.  It's not always possible to find a refutable breeder within a reasonable distance. You might have to make a few overnight trips to meet with a breeder, so be prepared for that if you're committed to getting a Siberian Husky. Once you've selected a breeder, contact them and inquire about meeting the puppies.  Choose a breeder who has a current or upcoming litter. Many breeders only breed their dogs once every 2 to 3 years, so you want to pick someone who has puppies available now or will soon.  Be prepared to answer questions about who lives in your family, whether all your family members want the puppy, and whether the puppy will be properly confined at your home. Good breeders do not sell puppies to anyone. If you have any questions about the breed, the breeder is a good person to ask. She should be able to clear up any questions you have.  See when you can come by the meet the puppies. Remember, you will probably not leave with a puppy on the same day you meet the litter. Good breeders will want you to take time to think about your decision.

Article: Rewarm strips as necessary, and discard these when they are no longer effective.  Next, slowly separate the layers, exposing the wax. The benefit of wax strips is that they don’t require you to heat up the wax. The downside is that some people consider them more painful than hot wax because the wax remains cold. Choose the right wax strips. If you are using pre-coated wax strips, make sure you are using the correct kind for the area you are waxing. You don't want to use a leg waxing strip on your bikini line or on your face. Put the strip wax side down.  For example, a wax strip applied on the legs should be applied with pressure moving downwards because leg hair grows downwards. You want to press firmly on the strip, until the wax cools against the skin. This should just take a few seconds. Be sure to keep the strip as close to the skin as possible while removing it.  Don't wax the same place twice. Ripping the strip against the direction of hair growth pulls the hair from the root, ensuring thinner hair growth. The waxed region should remain hair free for about 2 weeks. Keep the skin taut as the discomfort subsides. Any wax left over can easily be washed off later. Remove excess wax from the skin with baby oil. Some people develop rashes once waxed.

Warm the strip by rubbing it between your hands for several seconds. Apply the strip to the area to be waxed, and quickly smooth it down in the direction of hair growth. Hold the skin taut at the bottom of the strip, and quickly rip the strip against the direction of hair growth.
Article: Once the epoxy has set, undo the vise and pull the knife out. Do not remove the tape from the blade just yet. Keep sanding the scales until you reach the metal part of the tang. If you have any lines leftover from when you traced the tang onto the scales, be sure to sand that off too. At this point, you can also sand the edges of the handle so that they are more rounded and comfortable to hold. Begin sanding the scales with 220-grit sandpaper. Once the wood is smooth, move onto 400-grit sandpaper. Finish off with a buffer until the scales are polished to your liking. For an even nicer finish, you can apply 1 coat of de-waxed shellac and 2 coats of an oil-based polyurethane sealer. Buff the finish after it dries. How long the finish takes to dry depends on the brand that you are using, so read the label carefully. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Your knife is now complete and ready to use. If you notice any epoxy on the blade, you can scrape it off with a craft blade, but make sure that you go along the length of the blade. You can also try dissolving it with acetone.
