Make a Chest Support for your Camera out of PVC Pipe [DIY]
Source: http://lifehacker.com/5519565/make-a-chest-support-for-your-camera-out-of-pvc-pipe
This DIY creation was originally designed for those with health problems that prevent them from taking steady shots, but let's be honest—some of us are just plain twitchy, and could benefit from this as well. All you need to build this chest support is a few small pieces of PVC pipe, a bolt, a nut, and something to function as the hinge on which your camera will sit (you can get creative with what you have lying around; the instructions use a piece of a hollow metal support beam). It's an extremely simple way to get steady shots when it counts, as long as you remember to breathe like a sniper (especially since it's sitting on your chest). Hit the link for the full instructions. Got any other tips for super-steady photo taking? Share them in the comments!

How to Make Popcorn with Bacon Fat [Cooking]
Source: http://lifehacker.com/5519589/how-to-make-popcorn-with-bacon-fat
First of all, if you're still cooking your popcorn in the microwave, you really should learn how to make movie theater popcorn at home for pennies on the dollar—especially because you can't incorporate bacon in the microwave version. If you already have a popcorn popper (or know how to cook popcorn on the stove), then you pretty much know how to make it with bacon fat—all you need is some bacon fat. If you have some leftover from the last time you made bacon, that's perfect. If you don't have any, then why not fry some up right now? You only live once, after all. Once you have the fat, just use about 3 tablespoons of it in place of your usual popcorn oil.
"But Lifehacker," I can already hear some of you say, "bacon-flavored popcorn sounds incredibly disgusting." Luckily, the popcorn doesn't actually taste like bacon—if you wanted that, you could just make some bacon—instead, it gives a nice smoky flavor to the popcorn that you don't usually get, which is nice since popcorn can sometimes taste a little bland. Hit the link for the detailed popping instructions, if you aren't already a stovetop popcorn master. Got any other favorite meals or snacks made better by bacon? Rattle them off in the comments!
