Write an article based on this "Research and choose a producer. Research and choose a builder. Sign a contract."
article: The producer supplies the necessary materials for building your log home. You can source a producer by looking at different company's plan books, which will give you an idea of the type of log homes that they have produced previously. Otherwise, you can stop in at a model log home, and if you're impressed with the style and layout, you can hire the same company to produce yours. Make sure that you have an open line of communication with your chosen producers - they should listen to your ideas and always keep you in the loop.  You can do a background check on possible producers by researching previous log homes they've built and getting references from their customers. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau, the state attorney general's office or the Log Homes Council. Carefully consider your options when it comes to choosing a builder. There are many on the market, and their quality and service vary considerably.  Besides finding a builder you can communicate well with and painstakingly checking references with past customers, you also should visit finished homes to personally inspect the builder’s work. Keep in mind that it usually takes several years for a log home to completely settle and expose any construction defects. A 3- to 5-year-old home probably is the best example of a builder’s art.  Before selecting your builder, you also should check with the local contractor’s board or similar state or regional authority, including your state’s attorney general’s office, to see if the builder has been involved with litigation in the past.  It’s wise to choose a builder who is familiar with your local building codes and the environment of your site. Make sure your builder is licensed and bonded, otherwise if you run into problems you could have little legal recourse. You will need to negotiate with your builder or building company about items such as the price of their services, the design of your home, and the estimated time frame for completing the project. Once both parties have come to an agreement, the terms will be laid out in a contract which you will both be required to sign.

Write an article based on this "Think about the benefits of being honest. Consider tapering off contact. Try waiting for them to contact you. Consider the length and type of your relationship."
article: It may be better for you and the other party to be upfront and honest about ending things. You can do this face-to-face, or via text. If you've never met this person in real life, or only met them a couple of times, there's no need to meet them face-to-face. However, a longer relationship would benefit from a face-to-face meeting.  The main benefits of this approach is that it's a mature way of handling a potentially awkward situation. You won't have to awkwardly avoid the person in the future. You will also avoid any feelings of guilt. If you simply cut someone out, you may regret it later. For example, you may not have romantic feelings for them, but they might be a good friend. The major con is rejecting someone is hard. The other person may react negatively if you reject them. You also may not feel you owe someone a rejection if you only knew them via the internet. However, if the person seems very invested or interested in you, you should probably be honest about your feelings so they have some closure and can move on. If you met someone in real life, and dated for a few weeks, try meeting up in real life. If you only talked to someone online, or only met them a few times, you can break up via text or email. Sometimes, it's best to slowly taper off contact. If you never met this person in real life, or if you only had one date, consider just slowing or ending contact until they take the hint.  One pro to this approach is that you avoid a potentially awkward situation. If the other party doesn't seem invested either, it may be appropriate to slowly stop returning texts and emails. This is probably not the best approach if the other person seems more invested. If you're getting a lot of texts, emails, and other forms of contact, the other person may want to move towards a serious romance. If this is the case, simply ceasing contact can leave them feeling confused and hurt. A conversation may be better. Another approach is allowing the other party to contact you. If you're not sure if the other party is invested in the relationship, give it a few days. If you don't receive any contact, it's safe to assume the other person is not interested in continuing things. At this point, it's fair to simply move on without a formal breakup. There's no need to schedule a meetup with someone you haven't had a serious relationship with or never met in person. At the same time, it's considered a dating faux pas to breakup with someone you've been seeing for a while via text. If you've had limited or no face-to-face contact, it's okay to call or text. Otherwise, tell them face-to-face.

article:
Once you’ve removed the shrimp’s tail, head, and shell, you need to clean the shrimp to make it presentable for eating.  To clean the shrimp, put the shrimp down on a cutting board. Take a paring knife, and run the knife’s blade along the back of the shrimp, in the middle of the shrimp’s back. Cut more deeply if you want to butterfly the shrimp. You do this by pulling the small gray vein out of the shrimp. You can use the tip of the knife to do this.  Make sure you don’t cut too deeply into the shrimp’s back.  The vein is the shrimp’s digestive tract. It looks like a string. Run the shrimp under cold water when you are done peeling and deveining it. Once you’ve peeled and deveined the shrimp, it’s time to cook and eat them! There are many recipes for cooking shrimp. Or you could eat it raw with cocktail sauce.  Try turning the shells, tails, and heads into stock. To do this, wash them off and then put them in a saucepan with cold water. You will want enough to cover them. Add peppercorns, a bay leaf or fresh parsley. Simmer uncovered about 15 minutes. Strain the shells out. Add the stock to a shrimp recipe to increase its flavor.  Remember that it doesn’t take shrimp very long to cook. In fact, shrimp can cook in as little as three minutes. You will know they are done when they appear pink.
