Who messes up cooking hard boiled eggs you ask? Lots of people. Including myself. Ever have a hard boiled egg with a dry powdery yolk surrounded by a layer of green, and a rubbery white? Yeah. Me too. I used to make those all the time.
Those types of hard boiled eggs result from over cooking. I experimented a bit and now cook my eggs very differently. I'll show you how in the second part of the post.
Short Boil With Plenty Of Rest
The way I cook hard boiled eggs now is to place the eggs in a pot. Fill the pot with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil. As soon as the water starts to boil, TURN IT OFF! That's right. Turn the burner off.Leave the pot covered for 15-20 minutes and you'll have perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs. The yolks will be moist and creamy, and the white will be delicate with just the right amount of bite.
Do you have a different technique? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

Musée acadien & Research Center898 Highway 335 West Pubnico, NS Yarmouth & Acadian Shores
Bernice d'Entremontt: 902-762-3380e: ns.sympatico.ca
May 6, 2013 to October 25, 2013
Richard d'Entremont of West Pubnico, 1948-1998, was a world-class carver of wooden duck decoys. Being an avid hunter, especially of ducks Richard took on the challenge of carving his own decoys. His carvings had become pieces of art, complete in finite detail and coloring. A highlight of his career came in 1995, when one of his carvings was part of the collection of Nova Scotia art assembled to enhance the suites and conference rooms of the G-7 leaders during the 21st annual G-7 Economic Summit in Halifax. And as recently as 2003/2004, his carvings were exhibited alongside other Acadian artists for "Reflets artistiques de l'histoire acadienne" at the Lieutenant Governor's residence in Halifax.The wooden duck decoys display showcases the talents of Richard d'Entremont along with a video of describing his talents will be in display from May to the end of October. The display counts 30 carvings at the West Pubnico Musée acadien.

Hal David, the lyricist behind such standards as "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" and "What the World Needs Now is Love," has died at 91, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers said Saturday.
The Oscar- and Grammy-winning songwriter, who teamed with musician Burt Bacharach on dozens of hit songs, died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles from complications of a stroke, ASCAP said.
David started working with Bacharach in the late 1950s on tunes recorded by artists including Perry Como, Gene Pitney, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, the Carpenters, Barbra Streisand and Dionne Warwick. In May, President Barack Obama and the first lady hosted a concert honoring Bacharach and David as part of the "In Performance at the White House" series.
"As a lyric writer, Hal was simple, concise and poetic -- conveying volumes of meaning in fewest possible words and always in service to the music," ASCAP President and Chairman Paul Williams said. "It is no wonder that so many of his lyrics have become part of our everyday vocabulary and his songs ... the backdrop of our lives."
Singer Smokey Robinson on Saturday said David was one of his songwriting idols when he was growing up.
"I hope that the music world will join together in celebrating the life of one of our greatest composers ever," Robinson said in a statement Saturday. "I will really miss my friend but I will celebrate his life and he will live on-and-on through his incredible musical contribution."
Lyricist Carole Bayer Sager, who also worked extensively with then-husband Burt Bacharach, said David made Bacharach's melodies seem "effortless."
David was president of ASCAP from 1980 till 1986.
The Recording Academy called David an "exquisite lyricist" whose work has left a "lasting impact on our culture."
He was born in Brooklyn, New York, to parents who had immigrated from Austria. He studied journalism at New York University before joining the military during World War II.

Flower Mound's Whelchel says she has West Nile virus
By Chris Roark,
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 8:12 PM CST
Flower Mound actress Lisa Whelchel, one of the finalists in this season's "Survivor: Philippines," announced Tuesday on her Twitter account that she has West Nile virus.
The tweet stated, "Dr. just called with blood test results...I have West Nile. Ugh. I'm fine, just tired. Takes a year to recover."
There is no word on where she got the virus.
Best known as Blair Warner on the 1980s NBC sitcom "The Facts of Life," Whelchel has since written numerous books and toured as an inspirational speaker on faith and motherhood.
Whelchel just completed her role on Survivor. This season features 18 castaways in The Philippines where contestants will endure marine-based challenges while competing on one of three tribes.
Survivor airs at 7 p.m. Wednesday on CBS.

An important concept that comes from sequences is that of series and summation. Series and summation describes the addition of terms of a sequence. There are different types of series, including arithmetic and geometric series. Series and summation follows its own set of notation that is important to memorize in order to understand homework problems.
So a series is just the summation of a sequence. So a sequence is just a bunch of numbers in a row, a series is what happens when we add up all those numbers together. Okay?
So before me I have a general term for a sequence. a sub n is equal to n squared minus 1. And first we're asked to find the first four terms. Okay? So in order to find the first term, we would find a sub 1 which happens when we plug in 1. 1 squared minus 1 that's just 0. So our first term is going to be 0.
To find the second term we plug in 2. a sub 2 is equal to 2 squared. 4-1 which is going to give us 3. Third term [IB] and repeat a sub 3 is 3 squared, 9-1 is 8. And the fourth term a sub 4, plug in 4. 4 squared, 16-1 is 15.
So this right here is a sequence. It's 4 numbers written in order with commons in between. It's just a collection of numbers.
Find the sum of those first 4 terms. So basically we already found the 4 terms, all we have to do is add them together. 0+3 is 3 plus 8 is 11 plus 15 is 26. So 26 is then the series, okay? Series is the way I remember it is, series is a shorter word therefore your answer should be shorter, one number. A sequence is a longer word, it's going to be a collection of data, a collection of numbers, okay?
So basically all the series is is a summation of the sequence.

Used to be, on a sweaty summer's day you dashed to the store, stuck your hand in the deep-freeze and pulled out a box of factory-made pops on a stick.
Or, if you had a mother of some invention, she might stir up a pitcher of sugary Kool-Aid and pour it into a clanky metal ice-cube tray or a paper cup. And then you would wait.
And wait. What eventually froze into kiddy-colored icebergs would get kerplunked in a glass, soon to drip down your chin.
These days, the cold stuff parading on sticks is more whimsical, packed with real fruit — even the occasional veggie — and downright delicious.
And it's making for a hot little corner in the summer confection department.
"Popsicles are the now cupcake," crows Charity Ferreira, a former pastry chef and author of "Perfect Pops: The 50 Best Classic & Cool Treats" (Chronicle, $16.95).
Leave it to the California-based kitchen whiz to have concocted pops ranging from old-school, can't-be-beat (triple-layered rocket pops, jam-packed with berries and yogurt) to spiked with a few shakes of heat (Mexican chocolate pops with cayenne), upscale and of-the-moment (prosecco-rose petal pops) and not-for-the-kiddies-please booze.
Tarry not, summer's hot and you've got some freezin' to do.
Triple-layered rocket pops
Note: From "Perfect Pops: The 50 Best Classic & Cool Treats," by Charity Ferreira. This pop, made with fruit and yogurt frozen in racy stripes, is a big hit with the outer-space set.
Prep: 30 minutes
Freeze: 6 to 8 hours
Makes: 6 pops
1 cup blueberries (about 6 ounces)
4 teaspoons sugar
1 cup vanilla or lemon low-fat or whole-milk yogurt
1 cup raspberries (about 6 ounces)
1. Puree the blueberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. With a wooden spoon, press the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, extracting as much juice as possible. Discard the solids. Whisk in 2 teaspoons of the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the yogurt until well combined. Spoon the mixture into ice pop molds, dividing it evenly and filling each mold about one-third full. Freeze until set, 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Divide 2/3 cup of the yogurt evenly among the molds, placing it on top of the blueberry layer and filling each mold another third of the way full. Freeze until the yogurt layer is set, 30 to 45 minutes.
3. Repeat the process used for the blueberries, this time with the raspberries. Carefully spoon the raspberry mixture on top of the yogurt layer, dividing it evenly. Insert sticks. Freeze until firm, at least four hours or up to one week.
4. To release the pops, run hot water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds; gently pull the sticks.

mildlyannoyedrabbit replied to your photo: Carnivorous
What do you feed it (the plant)?
Our Venus Flytrap eats flightless fruit flies! They are sold at a big pet store here… I also have these little flies on hand because the other carnivore in the photo is waiting for a Praying Mantis egg case to open up. She wants to keep a couple of the mantids that are going to hatch but we will have to separate them and feed them very quickly because they are very cannibalistic.

"Everything started from there," says Fall, who also pursued an MBA from Georgetown University while in the United States.
After graduation, Fall worked for the Senegalese national team and later he accepted a position as international scout for the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Along the way, his desire to enable youth in his country to follow in his footsteps and gain a quality education grew even bigger.
Fall realized that the power of sports to mobilize youth and give them a platform to fulfill their goals could be used for a bigger impact. The result was the establishment of SEEDS.
"To me, it was about how these young people could use their God-given talent to get an education, because that happened with me," he says.
"Most of them didn't realize that possibility existed. So really, my thing was, how do we help them identify that this opportunity exists? At some point I thought, in order to have a bigger impact, to reach more people, we wanted to really create something back in Senegal where it would be about, how do we use sports and the power of sports to contribute in the efforts of socio-economic developments in Senegal and Africa and beyond?"
SEEDS has so far sent more than 40 Senegalese youngsters to study in the United States, giving 25 of them the chance to play at American colleges.
For youngsters like N'Diaye, the lure of a quality education coupled with a chance to pursue his dream of one day playing in the NBA were enough to make him decide to go to SEEDS.
"It was a good academic school," he says. "It's like, people going there, having the opportunity, the chance of traveling with basketball and having the chance of going to some camps and have some coaches take a look at them and see where their skill is at.
"At the end of the day, I wanted to come to the States because here, sports and education, they combined it."

LONG BEACH — A former Catholic priest at a North Long Beach parish received probation Wednesday after pleading no contest to three counts of sexual battery. | PHOTOS
Luis Jose Cuevas, 68, who served at St. Athanasius Catholic Church, 5390 Linden Ave., avoided jail time at his sentencing in Long Beach Superior Court. He was given five years of formal probation and must register as a sex offender as part of a plea agreement.
Cuevas, who was initially charged with nine counts, agreed to one count of sexual battery against of each of three victims, including one felony because the victim was a minor.
Prior to the sentencing, Cuevas' lawyer, George Bird, said his client accepted responsibility for his actions and would "use his remaining time to (be) kind, as he attempted to do through his life."
Cuevas' sentencing drew added interest in the wake of this week's release of thousands of documents related to priest sex abuse within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Given the publicity, Bird said, "I'm glad we're not picking a jury today."
Two of Cuevas' victims came to court for the sentencing. They issued a written impact statement that was read by Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Zepeda.
It read in part that Cuevas had caused them to see the world differently and affected
"Now we see the true colors of life," the statement said.
It concluded with "God be with you, because you need him more than us."
The victims did not speak to the press and were quickly ushered out of court by a Long Beach Police Department detective.
Cuevas, who was free on bail, was dressed in a black suit and blue shirt with white stripes. Prior to being sentenced he sat in the courtroom and chatted quietly in Spanish with one of his former congregants.
Cuevas also had a Spanish interpreter when the judge read the sentence. He answered in a strong "Yes" when asked if he accepted the terms of his sentencing.
When Cuevas was first charged, about 100 members of the church appeared at the courthouse to support him. It was a different scene Wednesday, as less than 10 supporters appeared.
However, those who did come remained steadfast in their support of the former priest.
Consuelo Garcia said Cuevas had been a mentor to her, and "not once did I doubt his innocence."
She was also sorry that Cuevas would no longer practice as a priest.
"It's a pity he can't do what he loves to do anymore," Garcia said, adding she and others are praying for the victims.
Outside the courthouse, Martha Montes, another supporter, said of the priest: "I believe in my heart he is innocent."
Prior to sentencing, Bird said Cuevas, 68, had been in ministry since the age of 11, when he entered a seminary. He was ordained in 1974 and studied in Rome and Mexico.
The case involved Cuevas touching the outside of the victims' breasts, outside their clothing, while hugging, Bird said.
"There was a serious issue of intent," he said.
The case came to light in April, police said, when two women accused Cuevas of sexual battery, initially reporting the incidents to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles before filing a police report.
The third victim, a minor, came forward after an announcement at St. Athanasius about the investigation. The 17-year-old girl accused Cuevas of repeated incidents of inappropriate touching dating back to when she was 14, police and prosecutors said.
Prosecutors initially also said there were at least 16 other incidents involving Cuevas that were past the statute of limitations.
Bird questioned that, saying Cuevas had no history of inappropriate behavior and he received nothing in discovery from prosecutors to suggest prior acts.
In addition to the probation and registration as a sex offender, Cuevas must also complete community service, pay restitution and court charges and undergo counseling.

Isn't it amazing how we can look back at ourselves and see how much we've progressed in how we dress? I mean, not to mention our evolution in character, but I think that a certain confidence shows when we're able to step out of the house wearing something bold. Like that fur collar with those tights! Lovely. :)

1 out of 1 people found this review useful. 6 of 21
Categories Comments What to do for fun The College Activities Center always sets up special events to help promote and engage the campus community. Music, patio lunches, games, and entertainments are usually offered throughout the semester. Field trips are also available throughout the fall and spring semesters. In addition to campus activities, there are also pizza lunches with the Dean, brunches with the student government where they introduce sort of like a pot luck from different cultures, and during the hot summer days, ice cream to help cool us off.
Food and Dining Food and dining is available in several buildings on campus. There you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner either before or after classes. They have a variety of different foods and accept all forms of payment.
Dorm Life Dorm life is not a significant part of the campus life at STCC. It is a community college so most prospective students commute each day to school. There are designated parking areas and it's easy access to the campus.
Academic Rigor Although it is a Community College, the faculty and staff do not hold back on providing every student with an academic challenge. Slack, indolence and procrastination aren't tolerated because the faculty strongly believes that the students' achievements are a direct reflection of their lecture and practice. Every professor is available to help you whenever you need it and will never belittle you. Instead, you will always feel encouraged to go higher and will always be pushed to the outer limits of your potential. It's not necessarily a simple task to complete, but the work ethic that teachers expect of you is designed to either break you or make you and in most cases, teachers make sure that they're there to keep you from falling apart.
Tips for prospective students If you aÂ?re looking for an opportunity to feel the waters and gauge yourself before making a permanent career decision, then starting off at Springfield Technical Community College is definitely a smart decision. Your college experience also determines how successful you will be academically so having a friendly, judgment free community is a prime emotional contributing factor and can make your college experience that much easier. If you do not know what you aÂ?re most keen to pursue, then start with general studies and test yourself. Testing yourself gives you an opportunity to find out what interests you. Once you find your strengths, as well as weaknesses, you can get that much closer to what your career objective might be. For some people, their career objectives are known directly out of high school, while others remain indecisive. No worries, being uncertain of what you might want to pursue is extremely common. It is not necessarily a con, but more of an opportunity to part-take in different courses and enjoy a true college experience. Not an experience of immediately getting your degree, but an experience of knowing what campus life is like and what it means to find your essential goals, your future career, and eminent successes.
In three sentences This college offers an affordable academic system that can guide you onto the path of future successes. With an array of courses, this school provides the stepping stones to help familiarize yourself with the college environment. Most essential, the community, faculty, and staff are always dependable and willing to personally help any student that needs assistance, so you are never alone in this life changing experience.

Great for these types of students STCC is perfect for students that want go home every day or stay close to home or even just students who aren't sure what they want to do after high school but don't want to take time off from school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus At STCC they do have this thing where the students majoring in massage therapy will give you a full body massage, it is not free but after a long day I think it's safe to say we can all use a massage!
Bang for the buck It's everything you paid for, nothing more, nothing less.
What to do for fun Every week they have calendars posted around campus with events for that week. They have talentshows, special trips, gatherings, etc. STCC is also minutes from downtown Springfield where there's many other things to do like going to the Basketball Hall of Fame, an event in Mass Mutual, or even some shopping.
Food and Dining The food is great, there's many options whether you are having breakfast or lunch. There's vending machines everywhere so if you get hungry during classes you won't have to suffer. They take credit cards and cash so that's not a problem either.
Dorm Life There actually are no dorms at STCC but being there is like any other college with dorms. You get there you can have breakfast, lunch, or snacks and the campus is big enough to where there is people everywhere you go. Socializing is not mission impossible like people might think.
Academic Rigor They teachers are approachable and caring, they will help you if you just ask. They also will respond to any emails, texts, or calls quickly so any questions you have they will answer for you in a timely manner. Everything is organized and well explained.
Tips for prospective students Don't be scared to approach your professors or advisers they are there to help you. Spend time at the library it has everything you need whether it is to study or to write a paper, and whatever they don't have they will help you get it.
In three sentences STCC is great, from the moment you step foot on campus there's always someone there to help you every step of the way. It is such a smooth transition from high school to college, going to STCC is like going to high school for big kids. The campus is big and easy to get around, it's perfect.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is great security on campus
Clubs and Activities Student Ambassador club
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus well in building two on like the sevens floor, theres a dinning place where you can over look some of the downtown area.
What to do for fun I usually go to the library or to the student success center. There is also a gym and fitness center
Food and Dining Not great at all. You can buy things from the vending machines or from the school half of cafe.
Dorm Life No dorm life.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you get to know how your teachers work. Keep up with the financial aide process as much as possible.
In three sentences STCC is a pretty good college, because the teachers that i had really tried to help me as much as possible. Also applying was a breeze. One issue was keeping up with fasfa and it just didnt feel like home to me.

Categories Comments Campus Safety It's not in the best part of town, and the STCC alert system is a tad bit slow. I remember there was a stabbing on campus and I didn't receive an alert until 1 1/2 hours later. Oh, it also seems like they cut back on security. With that being said, I always felt safe.
Greek Life Nope!
Clubs and Activities I never joined a club.
Great for these types of students Days classes are great for people who are forced to attend day classes because they receive financial aid, adults who act like teenagers, people who attend STCC and want to treat it like a uni, and people who are busy during the evening. Evening classes are great for people who work, are mature, want a quiet atmosphere, enjoy the perks of making friends with classmates, and those who are there primarily to get an A grade.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The art building is located in a creepy area. It looks like a crime scene.
Bang for the buck Definitely worth the money to attend. I just graduated and I am honestly going to miss this college. The amazing professors, small class size, and the personal attention I received.
What to do for fun Go to class, meet interesting people, and then go home.
Food and Dining The cafe is great. I never tried the pizza even though everyone raved about it. Although, I will say certain items are overpriced and the vending machine cost rise every semester.
Dorm Life There are no dorms. Thank goodness! I can only imagine how crazy that would be.
Academic Rigor It depends on the professors that you elect to take. There are professors at STCC who are known for being easy, as well as professors known to be tough. STCC has a lot of great professors.
Tips for prospective students Value you our education especially if you're getting a free ride from the government. I can't stand people who attended STCC and treated it like high school. Public high school is free. STCC cost around 6,000.00, there is a huge difference.
In three sentences Word of advice, attend evening classes if you're looking for a better learning environment. I personally felt that the day classes were extremely overcrowded, and it felt like a human zoo. Plus, the evening class students are more mature, friendly, and focused.
