Watch the thermometer until the temperature is at exactly 300F/150C. When it is still very hot, add a dab of flavoring oil and several drops of your choice of food coloring or Kool Aid. Pour the molten sugar onto a greased cookie sheet. After the sheet cools (30 minutes to an hour), break up the candy into several pieces. Dust with powdered sugar. Store if needed."
article: Have everything in place. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Without stirring, let the mixture come to a boil which should be about another 5 minutes, Right before the liquid reaches exactly 300F/150C, add the food coloring and flavoring to the mixture. Doing so will allow the boiling action to stir the coloring and flavoring into the mixture. (If you do not have a candy thermometer you can fill a glass with really cold water then take a drop of the candy liquid and if it solidifies in the shape of a ball and floats to the surface, then its ready for next step.) Remove the mixture immediately at 300F/150C, or it will burn! After you remove the sugar from heat, the temperature will continue rising but that is not a problem provided that you took it off the heat at 300F/150C. Mix quickly. Mix food coloring to make fun shades. Try adding the color after stirring in flavor and stir lightly for a swirled effect. Mix flavors or Kool Aid or pour over dried fruit for an added texture. Allow it to cool. Spread the mixture around the sheet before it cools too much. It is not advised to put the mixture inside the freezer as it makes it harden too fast. Try pouring into candy molds or mini muffin pans instead for a consistent shape. For a variation, do not dust the piecessimply leave them as they are and they will look like stained glass. The powdered sugar keeps the candy pieces from sticking together and becoming a large, sharp lump. If you like the effect of the colors without the powdered sugar, make sure you store the pieces on pieces of wax paper and not touching one another. This candy is best stored in paper bags or metal tins for a fun snack or a quick sugar craving.

article: Stretching can both prevent and relieve back pain, as well reduce the chance of injury. Consult your doctor before undertaking a major stretching routine of any sort. There are a few safe, reliable stretches you should begin doing to increase your flexibility and facilitate movement in the muscles and joints of your lower back. The goal of passive stretching is to gradually relax and lengthen your back. Stop immediately if you feel any pain or tingling anywhere in your body. Stretching exercises improve flexibility and relaxes your back muscles to decrease strain and tension on your back. Stretch several times a day, perhaps upon waking and before going to bed. Lie on your back and extend both of your legs straight out. Bend one of our legs at the knee, and raise the other leg straight up in the air without allowing it to bend. Loop a towel around the arch of your foot on the extended leg and gently pull towards you as you push into the towel your foot. Make sure you're feeling the stretch in the back of your thigh, in a muscle called the hamstring. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds before relaxing the leg and allowing it to rest on the ground. Switch to the other leg and repeat. Do each leg three times, and repeat this stretch 2 or 3 times per day. The piriformis is another muscle that can contribute to back pain it if is not kept limber. Stretch it by lying on your back and crossing one leg over the other with the knee bent. Pull the knee toward your chest until you feel a stretch between your butt and hamstring areas. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds before relaxing and switching to the other side. Do each side three times, and repeat the stretch 2 or 3 times per day. Many yoga poses will also beneficially stretch you back. Do the "cobra" by lying on your stomach and placing your hands palms down just beside your upper arms. Push your upper body off the floor and stretch your neck and head outward from your body. Hold the position for 30 seconds before relaxing your back and lowering your upper body to the floor. Do the cobra several times throughout the day to stretch your back out.

The easiest way to get seeds out of the pumpkin is to start by slicing off the top two inches (five cm) of the pumpkin's top. Then, cut the pumpkin into quarters. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and transfer them to a colander. If you're going to be carving the pumpkin for Halloween, you have to cut the pumpkin a different way. Two to three inches out from the stem, insert a knife into the top of the pumpkin on a 45-degree angle aimed inward toward the center. Cut a hole around the stem on this angle. Pull out the top, reach your hand in, and scrape out the insides with a flat spoon. Transfer the seeds to a colander. Place the colander of seeds under running water. As the water rinses the seeds, use your fingers to pick through and loosen and remove the bits of orange flesh. When you've removed all the stringy bits and flesh, turn off the water and shake the seeds in the colander to remove the excess. Pour the salt and water into a small saucepan. Add the pumpkin seeds, and bring the brine to a boil over medium heat. When the water boils, let it simmer for another 10 minutes. When the simmering time is up, remove the pan from the heat. Drain the seeds in a strainer, shaking the strainer a few times to remove as much water as possible If you didn't get a full 1 cups of seeds from your pumpkin, use 2 cups (474 ml) of water and 1 tablespoon (19 g) of salt per cup (65 g) of seeds. Transfer the seeds to a bowl. Drizzle the seeds with oil and toss or stir to coat the seeds in the oil. You can also season the seeds with your favorite spices. Use about 1 to 2 teaspoons of seasoning, or to taste. Popular spices for pumpkin seeds include: Salt and pepper Cayenne pepper Garlic powder Onion powder Cajun powder Paprika Brown sugar and chipotle powder Curry Herbs, such as rosemary and thyme Transfer the seeds to a baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake the seeds in a 400F (204C) oven for 10 to 20 minutes, until they're golden brown. Stir the seeds every five minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Place the hot baking sheet on a wire cooling rack and let the seeds cool down for at least 10 minutes before serving or eating.
