Nothing is quite so tasty as home-baked bread! It's not even as difficult as you might think. All you need is some flour, water, salt, a little bit of sugar and some active dry yeast (which you can find in most grocery stores).
And you thought real earthworms were scary. This origami earthworm, which has segments that can bend and twist, is just as if not more icky than their living and breathing cousins.
Gypsies have been regarded more with disdain and whimsy in the past. But recently, with the arrival of Shakira's music video "Gypsy," gypsies seem a lot hotter as well as beautifully whimsical (of course, Shakira's gyrating hips may have had something to do with this shift in thinking).
Many people think that once they start a business of their own they'll be cruisin' through life. No set hours, no boss to insult you, and no getting up at 6 AM to commute to work. But being your own boss comes with a lot of responsibility. If you're ready to take the good with the bad, check out this video to learn how to begin a home-based business.
Witches and wizards who belong to the Slytherin house are infamously known for being tricksters: they're cunning and sometimes overly ambitious (think Malfoy). They also tend to veer on the take-over-the-world, evil side. But we digress.
In this video, we learn how to write a thesis statement. What you really want to say about your topic is what the thesis statement is. It's nothing but your topic and what you want to say, so don't get scared by the term "thesis statement". Practice writing your paper using this saying instead of thinking of the thesis statement term. Usually in school you are given the topic you are going to write about it, so just state that topic and defend your position on it. It will be the same in real ...
The Kawakawa tree is a teeny little thing that grows in New Zealand. The leaves of this tree are thought to relieve everything from bruises to toothaches to bladder problems, and can be pounded into an infusion for tea.
If you're looking to buy a new used car, then Eric has a great tip for you to avoid getting scammed— look into the horse's mouth. Yes, that sounds cryptic, but it's a very similar process where you look underneath the oil cap. If it looks smooth like it should, go ahead, think about purchasing that vehicle. But if there's a lot of built-up black gunk on the bottom, do yourself a favor and RUN. That engine is destined for failure.

If you're really adventurous, turn that white fondant pink with some food coloring!
Now that Halloween has come and gone, it's officially the holiday season: In less than two months we'll faceroll our way through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And as we all know, the holiday season is also the season of gluttony. While we advise you to limit your portion sizes and only have one serving of your favorite dishes this holiday season, we definitely don't think you should avoid good food.
Remember Skipper? She was Barbie's younger sister (we think) and she had her own thing going on with Mattel, with various Rollerblading Skippers and Christmas Skippers at every little girl's disposal to purchase.

The piano is an intimidating instrument. 88 keys might seem like a lot to work with, but it's really less notes than a guitar. If you've been thinking about starting playing piano or keyboard and need some easy songs to get started on, watch this video to learn how to play six classic easy piano songs:
Help arrives! It's case 6-1 and the military is here! Or, so you think. They probably didn't know what they were getting themselves into!

In this video you will get a full walkthrough of case 6-1 Help Arrives in Dead Rising 2 on the Xbox 360.
The engine has a number of cylinders, whether it's 3, 4, 5, 6… 8…. whatever, and each one of those cylinders is designed to produce the same amount of power. If one is not able to produce the same power as the rest, then that cylinder is down and the engine might miss a bit or have a check engine light. If you think this may be the case with your automobile, this video from Eric the Car Guy will show you how to perform a power balance test on your car's engine. It's very helpful in nailing do...
We didn't think Jim Carey's portrayal of Joker could ever be topped...that is, until we witnessed Heath Ledger work his magic as one of the scariest and most demented Jokers we've ever seen. Crazy and evil in the most delicious way, this Joker wore a sort of psychotic makeup that we'll never forget.
Staying at a hotel for business? You probably think that traveling means you can't cook, right? Wrong. There are lots of ways to make delicious dishes if you're inventive (and we're not just talking about heating things up in the microwave, guys and gals).

Did you think sewing was complicated? Then don't even get us started on threading a sewing machine. Each sewing machine is slightly different in the way it's constructed, which makes threading a puzzle (read: pain in the butt).
In this tutorial, we learn how to understand vowels and vowel sounds in Spanish. To best understand how to say the vowel sounds in Spanish, you will want to listen to a native speaker saying different words. Take some of the words that you might think sound the same, but are completely different. These words can use the same vowels but have a different sound because of the pronunciation that is associated with them. Start to practice the vowels out one by one, then start to use them in words ...

Simon Leach teaches us how to put handles on your ceramics in this tutorial. The key thing is to never let the handle fall as you are adding it to a cup, always keep it supported. Look at the handle as you are placing it on and think about proportion and size. If it's sticking out too far it's going to get knocked off. You need to have an elliptical shaped handle when you are shaping them so they can be gripped properly. Don't score the bottom part when you are joining the handle to the botto...
We never thought this would happen. A cherry pie AND cupcake in one? We have officially died and gone to foodie heaven. Make sure you take a closer inspection of these cherry pie/cupcake hybrids, however: These are actually cupcakes decorated to resemble cherry pies using frosting.
If your little girl loves jewelry making but you're scared she's going to poke her eye out with a wire when you're not looking, sleep soundly at night by teaching her how to craft shrink plastic jewelry. Perhaps the safest and easiest forms of jewelry making, it involves only shrink plastic and a mini oven (which you would help out with).
In order to add fractions that are not alike, you will need to find the lowest common denominator. This is the least common multiple of the fractions. To add 2/3 plus 1/5, you will need to find the lowest common denominator. Here, it is best to think of all of the multiples of the denominators. If it helps, make a list. For 3, it is 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc. For five, the multiples are 5, 15, 20, 25, etc.
Don't be a bore and think that all necklaces have to end with a single clasp! While single clasp closures are common, they can also be a pain sometimes to open and close (if you've ever had a tight necklace that moved during the day to the back of your head and you didn't know where the clasp went then you know what we're talking about).
What's the secret to Victoria's Secret hair? Not much, really. Sure, Victoria's Secret Angels make everything about them - including their perfect wavy hair - seem way out of our reach in all of their bodily perfection, but their hairstyle is easier than you think to achieve.
The runways are not the likeliest of places to look for makeup trends that are immediately wearable (think the recent fashion show in Spain where models went bald and wore thinning gray beards), but this fall the overall makeup trend has been one that's surprisingly translatable off the runway.
Honestly, we're getting a little tired of purchasing mass-produced cards. Not that we don't adore Papyrus, with its often handmade-like cards and pretty details, but more and more we're finding we enjoy gifting our friends and family something authentic for special occasions.
So we have to admit something. We're not entirely sure what this project is. It looks like one of those Sweedish straw ornaments you hang on the tree during Christmas, but then again it could also just be an abstract representation of the sun.
Could Katy Perry look any hotter in her new music video for "Teenage Dream"? In the song, Perry sings about how the guy of her dreams thinks she's pretty without any makeup on, and as such she wears minimal makeup in the video. Just some simple neutral shadow and glossy pink lips are all she sports in every scene of the video, shot in her hometown of Santa Barbara.
When we first saw Lady Gaga donning this, well, gaga headpiece at the Grammy Awards, we were wondering what the Fortress of Solitude was doing on her head. The headpiece, composed of what look like stalactites crystalized with thousands of swavorski crystals, looked like an Abstract Expressionist sculpture, and made little sense.
Do you want sculpted, V-shaped lats that make your backside look like God's gift to women? Then check out this fitness tutorial to learn how to do the dead lift, an exercise move that involves picking up a heavy weight from the floor and bringing it to your hip level.
This prank is great because it combines the digital and the analog to create a multimedia prank. All you have to do is load up this web page, which looks just like the Google front end. If you follow the instructions in this video, you will learn how to make the two O's in the title disappear from the page. Combined with a little storytelling and misdirection on your part, this can be turned into a trick where you make your friends think that you have magically erased the two O's from Google'...
It's true that some supermodels have cheekbones so sharp they could grate cheese (think Gisele and Karlie Kloss). These girls were born pretty, but that doesn't mean they don't need a little help in the makeup department to look their modeling best.
Think there's only one way to apply makeup? While it's true that the same general rules apply to shaping your brows and applying foundation, certain makeup tasks like putting on eyeshadow and blush vary in method depending on individual traits like the shape of your face and your eye color.
This tough origami gorilla would totally kick King Kong's ass in a one-on-one match-up. Or at least we think so. With a broad, intimidating body and a strong, confident scowl on his face, this gorilla is not one to be messed with.
If you have a friend who always leaves their valuable possession out in their car, where anyone can see them and only need break into the car to take them, you owe this prank to them to teach them a lesson. Get some broken glass and a key to their car, wait until they're out of the car and have left their stuff there, then take the stuff, roll their window down, and leave the glass around the window. When they return, they'll think someone broke into their car and robbed it. Really, it was yo...
