Problem: Article: After you’ve covered the entire cake with white frosting, use the pink and blue frosting to garnish the cake. Pipe it on in whatever shapes you like, such as flowers, dots, or stars.  If you don’t have a piping bag, you can put the frosting in plastic bags, snip off the corner, and pipe simple dots and swirls with it. You can also use blue and pink chocolate candies to decorate the cake.
Summary: Decorate the cake with the pink and blue frosting.

Problem: Article: Many programs that lead to illegal downloads are Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and use file sharing to make songs on one computer available to another.

This happens mostly through P2P software. The most popular examples of P2P software are:  Limewire Kazaa Bearshare BitTorrent Ares Using the P2P software not only puts your computer at danger, but also puts you in line for potential fine and jail times. It is illegal to download without permission of the copyright holder. These programs allow you to legally download music:  Ruckus iTunes eMusic Amazon Napster
Summary: Turn off file sharing. Avoid illegal activity. Use safe programs.

Problem: Article: When it comes to making your speech work in real life, the most important thing you can do is practice, as much as you can.  Try practicing in front of a mirror, so that you can see how you are delivering the speech. This can help you notice  your facial expressions and body language. These can help or hinder your ability to get your message across.  For example, you might notice you are slouching, or that that you fidget with your collar. These actions suggest to an audience that you aren't confident. Better still, record yourself with a video camera and watch the tape afterwards. This can help you see (and hear) where your delivery needs improvement. It has the benefit of providing audio, and also won't distract you as much as a mirror when you're speaking. Once you've practiced on your own a few times, try giving the speech to a small group of friends or family members. Ask for their feedback on your message and delivery. On the day of the speech, dress appropriately for the venue and audience you'll be speaking to. Generally speaking, this will mean dressing professionally. But, the degree of formality will vary. A speech to a film club to convince them to show your film won't require the same degree of formality as speaking to the executives of a movie distribution company. For the executives, you would want to wear a suit. For the film club, that might be overdoing it. Many people find public speaking intimidating, but try to relax and be yourself as you give your speech.  Be friendly and make eye contact with the audience.  Move around, where appropriate, but don't fidget or pick at your clothes or hair.  Don't read the speech. It's okay to use a few notes to keep yourself on track, but your speech should be mostly memorized.  Roll with the punches. If you make a mistake, don't let it derail your whole speech. This might be an opportunity to use a little humor. Then, move on. If there is something specific you'd like your audience to do, provide them with any resources you can to make it easier. It is difficult to motivate people to take action, but if you make it simple, they will be more likely to follow through. For example, if you want them to contact the mayor, demanding a recycling program, don't just ask them to do it. Give them stamped, addressed envelopes to send a letter, or cards with the mayor's phone number and email address. If you do this, many more people are likely to follow through.
Summary: Practice your speech. Dress appropriately. Relax. Involve your audience.

Problem: Article: Turn the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Cut parchment paper for a baking sheet, and set it aside. In a large bowl, add the 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of whole-wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Using a sharp knife, cut the butter into smaller pieces. Use a pastry blender, two butter knives, or your clean hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture. If you’re using table knives, criss-cross them across the batter, using the meeting points to cut large pieces of butter smaller. You want to reach a point where the mixture is crumbly with very small chunks of butter. You can add seasonings and flavors such as dried cranberries, caraway seeds, raisins, dill, rosemary, or cheddar cheese. For seasonings, add a tablespoon or two. For mix-ins such as cranberries, raisins, or cheddar cheese, you can add up to 1 cup. With the cheese, you can add it on top once you've formed the loaf but before you've baked it. Mix the dough together. Stop mixing once the dough is combined. Turn the dough out onto the flour. Knead the dough. To knead the dough, punch into it with your fists, and then fold it over. Repeat the process 8 or 10 times. The dough should be more thoroughly combined when you're done. Form the dough into a ball, and flatten it down to a disc. It shouldn't be thicker than 1 1/2 inches. Score the top of the dough with an "X," going about halfway through the dough. Place the bread in the oven, and leave it for an hour. Turn the pan around at 30 minutes. The bread is done with the outside is golden brown and crispy.
Summary:
Preheat the oven. Combine the dry ingredients. Cut the butter. Combine the butter with the flour mixture. Add any mix-ins. Pour in the 2 cups of buttermilk. Sprinkle flour on a clean counter top or pastry mat. Make a round, flat ball. Place the dough on the prepared sheet. Bake the bread.
