Homemade Lollipops

 

Ingredients

• 12 lollipop sticks
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 4-8 drops food coloring of choice
• 2-3 drops flavoring oil of choice

How to make it

*Line a large baking sheet with foil. Arrange the lollipop sticks on the prepared pan, spacing the sticks 4 inches apart.
*In a heavy saucepan over moderate heat, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup; cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Cover the saucepan, increase the heat to high, and boil the mixture for 1 minute to wash down any sugar crystals. Remove the cover, and boil the syrup until it registers 310°F on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and set it on a wire rack.
*Let the syrup cool for 5 minutes, then add the food coloring and flavoring oil of choice; stir until the color is even.
*Spoon the colored syrup over the top end of each lollipop stick, making a puddle about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Let the lollipops stand until they are completely cool and the candy has hardened. Wrap each lollipop in plastic wrap and secure below the candy.

Some Tips For Freestyle Swimming

-Keep your head in line with your trunk and look straight down toward the bottom of the pool. Don’t look forward because otherwise you will have the tendency to lift your head, which will in turn cause your hips and legs to drop and you will have to kick harder to keep them up.
-Learn how to press your buoy, which has the benefit of keeping your hips and legs up without much effort. This freestyle swimming technique requires you to apply downward pressure on your head and chest. As your lungs are filled with air and very buoyant, pressing down your upper body causes the lower body to rise up through a lever effect. You then don’t need to kick that hard anymore.
-Don’t lift your head just before breathing. This common error also causes your hips and legs to drop. Rather roll on your side and let your head roll a little bit further until your mouth clears the water. It should feel like your head was resting sideways on a pillow made of water.
-Try to swim more on your sides rather than flat on your stomach and chest. Roll from side to side with each arm stroke. This allows you to engage the larger back muscles in addition to the shoulder muscles and improves your propulsion.
-To obtain an effective freestyle swimming technique you need to exhale continuously in the water while your face is submerged. There simply isn’t enough time to both inhale and exhale on the side during a breathing arm recovery. This also lets you relax more in the water.
-Learn how to swim with a so-called high elbow. This freestyle swimming technique consists in flexing your arm and keeping your elbow high in the water during the under water arm pull so that your forearm is facing backward rather than downward for as long as possible, which improves propulsion.
-While recovering your arm forward don’t extend it completely above water before letting it drop in the water because it increases drag and can also lead to swimmer’s shoulder over time. It is better to enter the water with your hand shortly after it has passed your head and then to extend the arm forward under water.

-Save energy by using a relaxed two-beat kick for middle and long distance swimming. This means that you kick at the same pace as you stroke with your arms.
-Make sure your palm is parallel to the water surface while it extends forward under water during the arm recovery. A common mistake freestyle swimmers make is to angle their palm upward at the end of the recovery. In that case they are in fact pushing water forward and slowing themselves down.

-In the beginning, a nose clip can be useful because it keeps water out of your nose and so this is one less thing to worry about and you can relax more. Once your technique and coordination has improved later on you will be able to get rid of the nose clip without too much effort. Personally I used a nose clip for a year while learning the freestyle stroke before getting rid of it

Four GTA 5 Myths

1. How to Unhinge a Cable Car

Video game worlds have become quite vast, but most of the time you can’t interact with the objects unless they play a key role in the character’s development or plot line.  Fortunately, that’s not the case in GTA 5.  And in the instance of the Cable Cars, which are designed to serve as as scenic lookout, you can toss a sticky bomb on board and detonate from afar to watch it unhinge itself and fall down the mountain.

2. Blowing Explosive Up Mid Air

If you’ve got the skills then you can watch the fire works go down, so to speak.  Toss a sticky bomb in the air and if you can shoot it mid air you can watch it blow up like the 4th of July.  Unfortunately, grenades won’t do the same, which should be true to life…

3.  Stalking Other Characters

Despite playing all of the characters in the game, that doesn’t mean they all get along.  As you’ll see in this section of the video, if you “stalk” a character, as in follow him around, he might lay you down with a solid punch that could deliver a devasting blow that puts you 6-feet into the earth.

4. Catch Fire into Parachute

This one is probably the stupidest and coolest of them all.  If you light yourself on fire, while holding a Jerry Can of fuel no less, it will explode and send you flying.  If you happen to be perched on a building at the time, with a parachute strapped to your back, you’ll have the luxury of floating freely to the ground.  Just remember to pull the rip cord otherwise your antics will go down a little “flat”.
