But you only have ten fingers, so that limits you to very simple calculations, right? Actually, you can count to 99 with your fingers using chisanbop, an abacus-like finger counting method.[1] Once you have that down, you can move onto complex calculations, such as multiplying two digit numbers with your fingers.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:00:00 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Handle-Fame http://www.wikihow.com/Handle-Fame I handle fame by not being famous...I'm not famous to me. Bob Marley Whether you're a celebrity, a politician, a MySpace star, dating someone famous, a well-known author, and even if you look different in a small town, you might be uncomfortable with being recognized wherever you go. Any one of us could become famous (even if just in our own towns) at any time, and not necessarily for reasons we'd want to become famous! Think about it - a family member could win the lottery, a friend could get into huge legal trouble, a sinkhole could open up beneath your house...any of these are possible and could thrust a normal person unexpectedly into the spotlight. How do you preserve a good reputation while still maintaining your privacy?

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:00:00 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Curl-Hair http://www.wikihow.com/Curl-Hair If you want to transform your limp hair into wild, carefree curls, you're going to have to alter your hair's natural chemistry. Curls are made by two kinds of chemical bonds that cause the hair to bend: disulfide and hydrogen bonds. You're either born with plentiful disulfide bonds (i.e. naturally curly hair) or you're not, and the only way to change that is with expensive chemical treatment (a perm). Fortunately, you can "mold" the hydrogen bonds, convincing your hair to act curly for a day or two. That's all that curling hair really is. Here's how to make it happen. Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:00:00 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Silk-Pleated-Evening-Bag http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Silk-Pleated-Evening-Bag This tutorial is for a delicious silk evening bag, as pictured. It has a balloon-shape that is created by inserting both pleats and darts. Silk works well because it responds in an effective manner to the sculpting of the darts and pleats. An original design by Lisa Lam (details below). If you are an experienced sewer, this is a good project; it is not advised for those who are uncertain of their sewing skills. In this project you will pick up/apply these skills: a bit of pattern making - it's a pain, but important inserting darts - great for adding 3D shape to bags inserting pleats - great for adding 3D shape to bags inserting a magnetic snap - easy and professional closures NB: All seam allowances are 1 cm unless otherwise stated. You can click on any photo to enlarge it if needed.

One eco-friendly alternative is the ancient Japanese art of Furoshiki, which uses a simple square of silk or nylon cloth as a means of wrapping and carrying just about anything.
