Casting a golf club means that when you swing, the club comes out and around to the left. It is similar to a right handed batter pulling a ball down the 3rd base line. When you swing your hands and the club form a 90 degree angle. That 90 degree angle is supposed to be maintained through the swing to give your club head a spring motion as it hits the ball. That spring motion is where all your power comes from. When you cast the club you lose all that angle and all your power. To prevent casti...

In this video, we learn how to draw a rose with a pencil. Start off by drawing the petals to the rose on the outside, then use your pencil to draw in the petals darker than they already appear. The first drawn petals were just for an outline. After this, draw leaves on the outside of the petals with lines in them to make it look more realistic. When you draw the petals in the middle, make sure they get smaller and the ones on the outside are larger. Next, draw a stem to the flower with leaves...

They are really easy to grow either in the border or large pots and produce large paddle shaped leaves and tall flower spikes.

Increasing your stock of canna plants is very easy with the tips from this how to video.

Some nice glasses, quality spirits, and a recipe that doesn't involve pre-made margarita mix, and you'll automatically look suave. However, the most overlooked cocktail accoutrement (and the coolest, in both senses) is the ice.
When I was in college, I invited a girl over for a date. It was a glorious spring day, and I thought it would be the perfect time to fire up the unused barbecue that had been sitting on my patio all school year. I prepped all the food, chilled all the beer, and then I realized I had no way of lighting the coals for the barbecue.

This might be the only dessert that is appropriate for both April Fool's Day and Easter.

I grew up eating Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food, but it wasn't until college that I experienced Thai and Vietnamese cooking. Once I started, I couldn't get enough of these cuisines.
