Most crafters have go-to colors we use all the time when we craft. But if you’re making something for a friend or just need to step out of your color comfort zone, a color wheel can be helpful. Let’s take a look at how a basic color wheel can be used to inspire new color combinations for your next project.

Caramel scares people and I don’t really blame them: it’s incredibly hot, sensitive to crystallization and very hard to clean the equipment used in the process. But the reality is, caramel, with its bitter and sweet flavors and ability to make a simple bowl of vanilla ice cream magical, is completely worth the fear and dirty pots. After several successful batches of homemade caramel the fear fades and you learn that the pans that immediately get soaked are quite easy to clean.

Cropping an object out of an photo in an image editor can be a tricky task, but Clipping Magic is a new webapp that does it for you in seconds. All you have to do is paint the foreground object one color, the background object another, and the app does the work for you.

Just drag and drop a photo onto the site, and you'll get a green box you can use to paint the foreground image, or the area of the photo you want to select. Click the red box to paint the background—or the part of the photo you want removed. You work with a version of the photo on the left, and you can see a live preview of the changes on the right, so you can always backtrack, or zoom in for a finer touch if you want.

When you're finished, just download the finished product to get the object you wanted, now on a transparent background. You can also just share a link to the finished image, so you don't have to email a file. Clipping Magic is ideal for logos, screenshots, and other images where there's a sharp pixel edge to the item you're trying to highlight or pull out of an image. The developer points out that hair, blurry boundaries, and partially transparent things are difficult for the webapp to handle, but they're working on making it better. Clipping Magic is in alpha, and while it's free right now, but when it leaves alpha the developers note they may start charging for the service. Right now though, using it couldn't be easier.

Just when you thought it was safe to ask someone to touch up your photo, China’s Photoshop-proficient wags are back to corrupt people’s innocent image processing wishes.

In case, you missed Part 1 or even Part 2 of the series, the process involves someone asking for their photo to be improved, only to have the meaning of their words intentionally twisted for the sake of (our) humor. For example, the lady above was hoping she could look “sexier” through doctoring. Alas, she soon found that sexiness is in the eye of the beholder, or rather the person doing the ‘shopping.

Now that we’re all up to speed, on with the show.

▼ Request: “I wanna look awesome with lots of muscles!”

▼ “It was hard to fit in the tensor fasciae latae but I think we got all of them.”

▼ Request: “I want this picture to have more impact.”
▼ “I remember the first time I met a pro-footballer. It changed my life.”

▼ Request: “Make me sexier, please!”

▼ Request: “I want a little more determination in this pic.”

▼ “AH, REF! She’s using the freaking rope for Crissakes!! Fight dirty Red Rooster!”

▼ Request: “I’m starting a new job as a teacher and I want to look more experienced.”

▼ “There, you look 50 shades more worldly.”

▼ Request: “I look badass but this background sucks! Cover it up, will ya? It’s embarrassing to show to girls.”

▼ “That’s hardcore, right there.”

▼ Request: “I wanna look more like a hero. Maybe put a lady in there?”

▼ “There’s the lady. But don’t get carried away; you look plenty like a hero already.”

▼ Request: “Make me look cool. I wanna put this on a dating website.”

▼ “I used to know this chick who loved these kinds of guys. If she’s on that site, you’re golden.”

▼ Request: “I want to look like I’m really driving this.”

▼ “Vrrrrroooooommm!!!”
▼ Request: “Dear artisans, please make this background more powerful.”

▼ “I hear only superman is more powerful than that… or was it faster? I dunno…”

▼　Request: “Make me look like a spirit or ghost. Like from A Chinese Ghost Story.”

▼ “Been a while since I saw that one, but I remember it scared the crap outta me.”

▼ We saw this one in Part 1 asking for “more excitement.”

▼ Someone upped the ante.

▼ Request: “Please give this a fantasy feel.”

▼ “It was the first one that came to mind.”

▼ Request: “We wanna look tougher.”

▼ “Really? Tougher than you already are? Well, alright…”

▼ Request: “Can you give me longer hair? Don’t change anything else on me.”

▼ “We left your face completely intact.”

▼Request: “Whatever you do, make me the man in this photo.”

▼ “You da man!”

▼ Request: “Don’t screw around, okay? Make me like a gangster or celebrity in this photo.”

▼ “Lindsay Lohan last seen exiting arraignment.”

▼ Request: “This photo is crap, what can you guys do with it?”

▼ “Erm, this?”

▼ Request: “Alright you trolls, hit me with your best shot!”

▼ Request: “Can you put a chick by my arm? She doesn’t have to be hot.”

▼ “She’s a fixer-upper.”

▼Request: “My buddy’s having a birthday party. Can you make this a good invitation?”

▼ “I remember this working for a party a while back. Hope you like the proletariat.”
Caption: “United we will continue to win greater victories”

▼ Request: “Please change the background, my room is too dirty.”

▼ “One man’s trash…”
Caption: “University Student’s Brilliant Venture; Turns Trash Heap into Gold”

▼ Request: “There’s a nice big space for you to put in a sick car, like the kind celebrities use.”

▼ “The Jolie/Pitts swear by these cars. Especially when the lil’ ones are sick.”

▼ Request: “Make my dreams come true!”

▼ “Keep practicing and someday this will be a reality!”

Ever have one of those nights where you knock back one too many and wake up not remembering what happened the night before?  Then as you fumble around for clues like a matchbook or photos on your phone, you discover that you’ve cut off your own privates with a pair of kitchen scissors?

If so, I’m terribly sorry for your loss, but, as this truly sobering tale of self-mutilation reveals, you’re not alone…

According to Taiwan’s Apple Daily, the man in his 40s had been drinking from the afternoon straight into the evening, when his girlfriend called him on it an argument ensured.

It must have been a hell of an argument because the man’s anger took such a hold of him that he threw off his pants, grabbed a pair of scissors, and ran into the bathroom. He then proceeded to snip off his own penis.

It all happened before the woman could react, but she called for an ambulance and rushed him to the hospital. On arrival, the man had slipped into a coma from blood loss. When the bleeding subsided he was taken to a larger hospital for further treatment.

Doctors reportedly said that they would have been able to reattach the member had surgery been done within six hours. However, the man had apparently flushed his member down the toilet in his drunken rage.

As the man regained consciousness he was reportedly appalled at his own actions, but has calmed since. All that remained was a stump no longer than 3 cm long. Doctors feel confident that he will have no problem urinating in the future.

Generally, when looking for information, I avoid Q&A websites such as Yahoo! Answers at all costs. But recently I’ve been rethinking that policy. There are a lot of freaky people floating around these places that I’m missing out on.

One such freak gave the “best answer” to a simple request on buying doctor fish, a popular name for those fish in spas that remove the dead skin from your feet. It’s surprising though since while this response does give some fascinating insight into how a doctor fish eroticism addiction can affect the family unit, it seemed to lack any hard facts like a price or specific location.

The initial question was short and sweet.

“Do they sell those fish that eat dead skin to individuals?

Could you tell me where to buy them on the net?”

The question yielded five responses some of which had links to places you could buy doctor fish and prices (680 yen (US$7) per fish if you were wondering).  A couple mentioned that a hardware store should carry them (in Japan large home improvement stores often have a pet section).

However, the only response that received votes and was selected as the best answer was the following.

“They’re expensive, but if you don’t get enough, the tank looks kind of pathetic. I think it’d be better not to get them for yourself.

At a home improvement store my son put his penis in the tank which caused a whole bunch of them to swarm around it. I didn’t know what to do. My son looked really happy though and stayed like that for around 3 hours. I had to figure after that long, after finishing the dead skin, they were eating water-logged skin too.

Since then, on a daily basis, my son would ask to go to the hardware store.  Every so often I would lose my patience and take him.  However, one time the clerk said that my son was banned from the store for bothering the other customers. So reluctantly, I bought 20 fish and put them in a kiddie pool, but at this point my husband got hooked on it too. As I had feared, it looked as if every day he and our son would be playing around in that kiddie pool. However, one day as my husband was enjoying the pool with our son all of the fish were wiped out in a day, perhaps because my husband farted in the water. I think you’d be better off borrowing them from someone else to get your rocks off.”

Although the original question and answer went down back in 2009, this response has been going viral across Twitter in Japan recently.  I guess 2013 is seeing a resurgence of people interested in immersing their privates in doctor fish.

Good one, Dwight.

Ever push your body a little too hard and get that brief moment of dizziness after a workout? Your first reaction might be to take a seat, but The New York Times points out you might be better off just taking a quick walk.

During exercise, the blood vessels in your legs expand and more blood moves through them. If you stop abruptly, that blood pools in your lower body and that leads to dizziness. Thankfully, it's easy to prevent:

The condition is easy to combat, though. Just walk for a few minutes at the end of a workout and you’ll maintain normal circulation to the brain, says Ross Tucker, a South African physiologist and a founder of the estimable Web site The Science of Sport.

It's a simple little trick that can save you the potential headache of a dizzy waddle to the nearest chair.

Do We Have to Cool Down After Exercise? | The New York Times

Don't have an hour or even twenty minutes to exercise each day? You might not need it. This routine of 12 exercises is a complete workout based on the latest fitness research—and it only takes 7 minutes.

As with other short, but highly efficient exercises, this routine is based on interval training, where you're combining intense activity with brief recovery periods. We've seen interval training touted before as the most efficient type of exercise. You could do it with cycling, but this workout is an alternative guide and you can do it basically anywhere with almost no equipment.

The routine was posted in the May-June issue of the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal and highlighted by The New York Times. In this program:

The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each [with a 10-second rest between exercises], while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, [director of exercise physiology at the Human Performance Institute] Mr. Jordan says. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done.

As you can see from the chart at the top of this post, all you need is your own body weight and a chair to get "maximum results with minimal investment." However, this was designed for people with pretty sedentary lives, so if you're starting out somewhat in shape, you should probably do this a few times in a row. Hit the link to read more.

The Scientific 7-Minute Workout | The New York Times

According to figures published recently by Pew Internet Research, only 46% of people who track some aspect of their health say that it has changed their overall approach to maintaining their health. This is a startlingly low number. If less than half of self-trackers are able to find any actionable benefits, what on earth are the rest self-tracking for?

If you’ve just started self-tracking, you may well be wondering the same thing–how should you use the data that you collect to make genuine self-improvements? The sheer quantity of data can be overwhelming. If you're one of those who are slightly perplexed about how to really get the best out of the quantified self (QS), here are five tips.

Define Your Goals

If you want to do more than tracking for tracking’s sake, you need to know exactly what you want to achieve. Always set your goals and objectives up front. By specifying the things you want to improve, change, or remove from your life, you give the whole process of self-tracking a focus. This focus is absolutely crucial if you are to achieve the best results.

In defining your goals, choose objectives that are: 1. really important to you and 2. achievable with relatively minor lifestyle changes. Then commit to them for a period of time. You’re not going to see your weight drop within a couple of days of starting a new diet–improvements will always take a degree of patience.

Experiment

An easy way to gain actionable insights is to simply go out and try something new. Ever wanted to try out that new diet that all your friends are talking about? Why not try it for a month, tracking your weight as you go? This “build, measure, learn” process is the core principle of Eric Ries’ Lean Startup philosophy, and it’s effectiveness can be easily applied to self-tracking.

Tracking the results of these experimental changes is great for two reasons. First, it allows you to test things where the outcome isn’t certain. If you’re a sleep tracker, for example, it’s difficult to judge how a new mattress or darker blinds will influence sleep quality. By tracking the results, the effects of these changes are easy to see, and conclusions are easy to draw. Second, it can help show the importance of things that you know are good for you. We all know that we'd be better off if we ate healthier food, but many would be surprised by the enormous impact improving your diet can have.

Track Correlations

If you track multiple metrics at once, you can gain insights into the correlations that happen between them by comparing the metrics against each other. For example, looking at the effect your activity level has on your sleep quality, or that your mood has on your productivity levels.

Examining correlations is easy to achieve by using dashboard applications like Tictrac, which imports your data from multiple outside sources and charts it into beautiful visualizations. Alternatively, if you want to customize the correlations and metrics, it’s relatively simple to roll your own spreadsheet to chart the data. The latter route requires a tracking source where you can export your raw data. Be careful here: there are some closed tracking products that don’t allow you full control over the data you collect.

I’ve personally found this tactic to be very helpful. By tracking my activity levels and my sleep quality and examining the results together, I’ve been able to see the dramatic influence exercise has on my sleep.

Embrace Gamification

One of the most successful aspects of the QS movement has been the use of game mechanics in health tracking products. These game mechanics are great at motivating people to make healthier lifestyle choices.

By embracing game mechanics in your own tracking, you can boost your ego by collecting badges and beating your friends. Gamification and social implementations are not only motivational and fun to participate in, they also bring meaning to the numbers without having to dive deep into the data. Nike+ Fuel is a great example of this–it has little to no meaning in everyday life. It only takes on meaning when compared relatively with your own past performances or those of other people.

For more tips on getting your friends involved, check out Alan Henry's post on getting the most out of your fitness tracker.

Focus on What’s Important

The number of metrics possible to track is growing fast, but they’re not all equally worthy of your time. To really get the best out of self-tracking, you should focus on the metrics that will make the biggest impact on your life. The metrics that you focus on will be tailored to your goals and objectives–if you want to lose weight, you’ll likely be tracking food consumption (and of course, weight); if you want to be more productive at work, you’ll be watching how you spend time. But there are a few metrics that everybody can benefit from tracking.

A great example is WellnessFX, a service that takes a blood sample and gives back an array of actionable health data including cholesterol and vitamin levels. Not only that, but they provide a personalized consultation session to help you make changes to improve the metrics that aren’t optimal. Tracking these figures is something that anybody could get a real health boost from.

A team from Kitakyushu National College of Technology (Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka) and CrazyLabo (Koga City, Fukuoka) has developed two robots capable of detecting degrees of offensiveness in foot odor and breath.

Blow into the face of lovely Kaori, a female mannequin-headed robot, for a quick reading on whether or not you are ready to interact with others. After a brief analysis, Kaori will assign one of four ratings to the (un)pleasantness of your breath…

Good: Your breath smells nice, a slight sweet and sour fragrance.
Not-so-good: Uh-oh, that’s a little stinky.
Bad: Get away! I can’t stand it!
Very Bad: Declare a state of emergency!

The other robot, Shuntaro, who is made to resemble a Basset Hound, will bravely assess the odor emanating from your socked feet.

Good: Shuntaro will draw nearer
Not-so-good: He will start to howl
Bad: Wobbling legs cause him to fall over
Very Bad: Shuntaro will faint and go down for the count

Breath mint and foot care product manufacturers everywhere are undoubtedly hoping for quick commercialization.

iOS/Android: If you never remember to bring the coupons when you go shopping, SnipSnap is a cross-platform app that digitizes and organizes them on your smartphone.

Everyone loves saving money, but few have the time or the patience to cut out and organize a bunch of coupons. With SnipSnap, you just open the app, use your camera to scan the coupon, and SnipSnap's OCR will convert the barcode on the coupon photo into a sharp digital barcode that you can scan at the register. The app also collects and organizes all of the coupons that every other SnipSnap user has added, and lets you download them to your phone. In the settings screen, you can even enable background location awareness so the app can remind you when you're near a store you have coupons for, or you can just choose to be notified when one is about to expire.

Of course, a lot of stores are flaky about accepting digital coupons, but the app includes a crowdsourced success rating for each vendor so you can get an idea of whether it's worth trying. The developers have also hinted at adding coupon printing to the app in the near future if you run into any stubborn shops.

SnipSnap is free, so give it a look and save a few bucks on your next shopping trip.

Buried in the photo gallery of a recent event attended by the Associação de Assistência às Pessoas com Câncer, a Brazilian non-profit that helps people with cancer, is a photo of its horrifying mascot.

The mascot, we are told, goes by the "Mr. Balls," and he works to raise awareness about testicular cancer. According to the AAPC website and courtesy of some Google-translating, "Both children and adults loved taking pictures with the mascot , a friendly snowman in the shape of testicle."

Is it the pubic hair that is so off-putting or the buckteeth? Definitely the buckteeth. Or maybe it's the bowl-cut. God, he (it?) is disturbing. Here's a photo of Mr. Balls and a child:

And below is a photo of Mr. Balls out and about:

“This is my husband and his younger brother dressed as clowns.  Their Mother (my Mother-in-law) decided that for Mother’s Day one year that she would dress her 2 sons as clowns and have their portraits taken.  So, she proceeded to dress them up in homemade outfits and her own makeup.  On the way to Sears, the younger brother was crying hysterically and that is why he is not a “happy clown,” and his face is smeared.  I have this picture hanging in our hallway of our home just to remind myself that I am now a part of a dysfunctional but awesome family! Now we have two sons together ages 3 and 4… question is, should I carry on the tradition?”
