Point the mouse cursor at your screen’s bottom-left corner

The Start button no longer lives in the desktop’s bottom-left corner in Windows 8. Now, simply pointing and clicking at that little corner of desktop real estate fetches the new Windows 8 Start screen. When the Start screen appears, you click the app or program you’d like to run.
To visit the Start screen from the desktop, as well as to revisit any recently opened apps, follow these steps:
  1. Point the mouse cursor at your screen’s bottom-left corner.
    A tiny thumbnail-sized Start screen icon rears its head. Click it to return to the Start screen.
    Or, if you want to return to any currently running apps, move to the next step.

While Feil's sushi would be a little tough to recreate at home


Not everyone is into firing up the oven and loading up on flour and sugar to make festive treats for the holidays. If you're the type who'd rather have sashimi than sweets, then you'll love this holiday sushi created by Simon Feil, owner of Sushi by Simon, which specializes in interactive sushi events for groups. His fun creations will definitely get you in the holiday spirit:
While Feil's sushi would be a little tough to recreate at home, it is possible (especially if you have experience making maki rolls and inside-out rolls). Start with sushi rice seasoned with rice vinegar. You'll want to thoroughly mix in enough vinegar so that the rice feels moldable. Then, let it a bit before moving on to the more detailed instructions on each specific design below. Keep in mind that keeping your hands wet and using saran wrap will help prevent the rice from sticking to your hands as you go—and that you can find some of the more unusual ingredients below at an Asian market.
