Being the new kid in school is no easy task. With some determination and the right attitude, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Confidence
Courage
Motivation
A bright smile
A computer with internet access
Step 1: Whether you like it or not, kids form initial opinions based on clothes, hair, and fashion sense. Make an extra effort to look your best those first few days. Looking good will boost your confidence, too!
Tip: You're not going to be rolling in friends on Day 1. Devote the first couple of weeks to laying solid groundwork.
Step 2: Come out of your shell. If you're naturally shy, you don't have to fake a new personality. But try to avoid looking at the ground, and flash a smile once in a while. The easier you are to approach and start a conversation with, the more other kids will want to talk to you.
Step 3: Find excuses to talk to people. Once you get a conversation going, be a good listener and offer up a compliment or two, no matter how small.
Tip: Build up a little courage and sit in the middle of the classroom to surround yourself with as many potential new friends as possible.
Step 4: Get involved in the extra-curricular activities you enjoyed at your old school. Join a sports team, help with the yearbook, try out for a play -- anything that interests you. Joining a club or team is a great way to start because you have at least one thing in common with everyone in the room.
Tip: Cast a wide net -- don't just focus on the popular people. Making friends in different circles will open you up to more options.
Step 5: Use the web. Sign up for a social-networking site and join your school's group page. Post some videos and pictures and write a few blog entries to showcase who you are. Kids at school will discover your personality through the web and all that small-talk torture will start to disappear.
Step 6: Get a part-time job where you know fellow classmates work. Meeting kids outside of school and bonding over menial work is often a recipe for friendship.

Concoct soda at home—over time, you'll save a bundle by not using the store-bought stuff. Plus, it's fizzy fun!
To complete this How-To you will need:
1/8 tsp. brewer's or bread yeast
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 gal. water
2 1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp., plus 1 tsp. of soda extract in the flavor of your choice
A 1-gallon non-aluminum container with a lid
A funnel
Two clean 2-liter plastic soda bottles
Distilled water (optional)
Champagne yeast (optional)
Sugar substitute (optional)
Step 1: Choose your flavor
Decide what kind of soda to make. Choose from cola, root beer, ginger ale, and lemon-lime, among other flavors.
Step 2: Dissolve the yeast
Dissolve the yeast in a cup of warm water. Measure the yeast precisely: Too little will interfere with carbonation, too much will leave a yeasty taste. Let it soak for five minutes.
Tip: Use champagne yeast if you can—it leads to the best carbonation. Find it in specialty food stores and online. Otherwise, brewer's or bread yeast will do.
Step 3: Mix the ingredients
Pour the sugar, soda extract, and dissolved yeast into the gallon container, add enough water to fill it, close the lid, and shake until the sugar dissolves completely. You can find soda extract in home-brew and winemaking shops or online.
Tip: For diet soda, use five tablespoons of white sugar and two cups of sugar substitute.
Step 4: Pour into bottles
Using a funnel, divide the mixture into each of the soda bottles. Screw on the caps tightly.
Step 5: Let them sit
Store the bottles in a dark place at room temperature for 4 to 6 days. Give the bottles a little squeeze every day. If one feels too firm, open the cap to let out a little carbonation; then reseal.
Step 6: Refrigerate and enjoy!
Refrigerate the bottles when they are as firm as store-bought plastic bottles of soda. Drink it within four weeks.

The Celtic Heart Knot is the woven realization of a design I saw etched into a friend's ring. Stunningly simple, yet at the same time perfectly evocative of a heart, the knot looks amazing as a center piece to a necklace or bracelet. Its also the knot I plan to use for the creation of an I love knots sticker thatll be available in early 2010.
