In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to avoid over-spending, you need to know how much you can afford to spend. Review your financial situation and determine how much extra money you have available. The true beauty of online shopping is convenience. Within minutes, you can check out the selection at multiple stores, all without leaving your chair. Take advantage of this convenience by comparing the prices and selection offered by several reputable online stores. You may discover that two stores are offering similar garments for vastly different prices. The easiest way to do this is to sign up for email newsletters with various online stores you frequent. These newsletters frequently include information about sales and clearances. Otherwise, quickly visit the online storefronts of different sellers and note which ones have sales going on. Many wholesale sellers require you to be a reseller to make a purchase, but not all do.  True wholesale requires you to purchase large quantities at one time, making it a good option for basic necessities like underwear and socks. Retail wholesalers purchase large quantities of clothing at wholesale prices, then sell those garments with very little mark-up. As a result, clothing purchased from a retail wholesaler is often much cheaper than clothing purchased from a standard retailer. Shipping costs and additional check-out fees can dramatically drive up the price of your purchase, especially if you end up buying from a seller in a foreign country. You should also make these costs a factor when you compare prices at various stores.
Summary: Set a budget. Shop around. Search for deals. Shop wholesale. Check shipping costs before you commit.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Autograph authentication companies can help you verify an autograph was legitimate. They use a combination of specialized autograph authentication equipment, as well as handwriting analysis and computer technology, to ascertain if an autograph is legitimate. If you obtained an autograph secondhand, this can be particularly helpful. If you intend to sell an autograph you obtained in person, this can also be helpful as potential buyers will know your autograph is real.  The most recognizable authentication companies include Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), James Spence Authentication (JSA), and Autograph Certification Experts (ACE). It's a good idea to go with one of these companies, as you want a recognizable company to authenticate your autograph. However, if there's an authentication company in your area, it may be less of a hassle to work with a local company. Once you've selected an authentication company, you can begin the authentication process. If you live close by to an authentication company, you can go in and talk to someone in person. You usually have to work with a company from a distance, however, and must mail in autographs or autographed items.  Any organization you're working with will have different requirements. There are usually a number of forms you must fill out that require basic contact information as well as information on where you obtained your item. Many authenticators have specific guidelines for how items should be packaged as well. Most authentication companies charge a fee for evaluation, and may charge additional fees to issue you a certificate of authenticity. For example, JSA charges fees that range from $35 to $50 depending on the type of autograph you send. You are also generally responsible for all shipping fees. Once your item has been evaluated, the authentication company will instruct you on how to receive a certificate of authenticity. There may be additional fees for certificates. Some companies, like PSA, grade autographs on a scale of 1 to 10. These grades determine how well an autograph has withstood the test of time, so keep in mind a very old autograph may receive a lower grade from some authenticators. It's not always worth it to get a certificate of authenticity. Faded or messy autographs are difficult to authenticate, and the process may be more trouble than it's worth.  On occasion, an autograph you obtain in person may be rejected by an authentication company if the handwriting is messy or the paper is crinkled or faded. Illegible or fading autographs are hard to authenticate, and the process can be costly. Even if you can get a certificate verifying your autograph is authentic, a company may give you a low grade, potentially making the autograph difficult to sell. You may be better off keeping faded autographs for your own pleasure rather than attempting to authenticate and sell them.
Summary: Find an autograph authentication company. Work with your company to have a professional determine the autograph's authenticity. Receive your certificate of authenticity. Avoid attempting to authenticate faded or illegible autographs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You should be able to find the herbs at a natural health foods store or a bulk foods store. They should be ground or in powder form:  1/2 teaspoon Marshmallow root powder (soothing on inflamed tissues) 1/2 cup Slippery Elm Bark powder (reduces inflamed membranes) 1/4 cup of hot water 2 tablespoons of honey Put the 2 tablespoons of honey into a glass measuring cup and add enough of the hot marshmallow liquid to have a total of 1/2 cup.  Pour this into a mixing bowl and discard the rest. Hollow out a well or a depression in the middle of the powder. Pour the honey/marshmallow solution into the well of the Slippery Elm Bark powder and, using clean hands, mix the ingredients together. Form small oblong shapes about the size of a grape (think lozenge size). You should get about 20 lozenges. This well help to reduce their “stickiness”.  Place lozenges on a plate to let them dry for at least 24 hours. Once dry, wrap lozenges in waxed or parchment paper. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.  They should stay good for about 6 months. Just unwrap and allow the lozenge to slowly dissolve in your mouth. These lozenges are for adults but can be for children who are old enough for lozenges to be safe, usually over the age of 5. For children younger than 5 years, lozenges can be a choking hazard.
Summary:
Obtain the following herbs and ingredients. Dissolve the marshmallow root in the hot water. Add the 1/2 cup of Slippery Elm Bark powder  to a mixing bowl. Roll the lozenges in some of the extra Slippery Elm Bark powder. Wrap each lozenge. Use the lozenges.
