I saw Kaskade today
For those of you who don’t know who Kaskade is: Kaskade is a rising star in Dance and House music. He was born in Illinois but currently lives in California. He is most well known for his collaborative work with Deadmau5, those songs include “I remember” and “Move for Me”. Anyway, I saw him driving a beautiful Ferrari while on my way to school today. Just telling everyone!
Sugar Science
In science class, we were looking at calories and nutritional sciences. This is good because we got to make candies in class. There were four groups. Sofia, Anthony and I were in one group. Tobin, Tati and Sydney were in a group. David and Max were in a group and Tatiana, Charlie and Trevor were in a group. Each group looked at different types of candies. My group made gummy candies. Other groups made fudge soda and taffy. Some of these things turned out very well. Others not so much. The fudge, that was actually very good, looked like sludge.
My group made gummy candies. Due to unexpected sickness, I was not able to try the candies. But I was able to make them. Basically, we found a recipe for gummy candies online. We decided to make them lemon flavored. The first thing you would do is lightly oil a pan to make the gummies. Then combine pectin and baking soda in a saucepan. You then add water to the pectin/baking soda mixture, you stir the pectin so that it may dissolve and then stir the mixture constantly until it becomes thick and smooth. After, you get another saucepan and put in granulated sugar and corn syrup. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Clip a candy thermometer to the inside of the saucepan with the pectin/baking soda mix and when that mix reaches 260 F (Fahrenheit), immediately add the corn syrup/granulated sugar mix too it. You can then add food coloring to the mixture and flavoring. Put the mixture in a molding pan and cover each gummy piece with superfine sugar completely. Then put the gummy pieces into an airtight container at room temperature for up too one week. Then you will have your gummies.
Our gummies didn’t turn out too well, according to my knowledge of them. They were sticky and had a burnt flavor too them. But it was still fun to work on.
We’re still here
Hello, friends! This is a response to a post I made last Friday. If you are reading this, then I was right and the world has not ended and the crazy attention seeker who tears families apart and puts the world on “pause for panic” mode is wrong again, like he was in 1984. Harold Camping had said that he believed the Rapture (a biblical event where true Christians would be lifted from the Earth into Heaven before Armageddon). Harold Camping said this would happen on May 21st at 6:00 PM. It is 12:45 PM on May 22 and nothing happened. While I didn’t believe anything would happen, it is still kind of scary! These kinds of events and predictions made public to people tear families and friends apart and put people into panic. It is people like Harold Camping who will go against mainstream Christianity in order to get attention. For this reason, I hope you are reading this Harold Camping, just stop the end of the world predictions! But anyway, hurray for life and thank you God for not ending the world quite yet!
Rapture on May 21, 2011 (!!!!!!IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!!)
Hello friends, I have been feeling a bit “down in the dumps” from all of this doomsday stuff. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I honestly don’t think it will happen. I am writing this to help people who might be a freaked out about this. Below I have three good reasons to why the world will not end tomorrow.
-There is only one man who predicted the May 21 2011 doomsday. His name is Harold Camping, he said the world would end in 1984. Last time I checked, 1984 was 27 years ago and I wouldn’t be writing this if the world ended 27 years ago. Camping called that prediction a “miscalculation”.
-Camping has very little evidence towards his doomsday theory. Despite his investments of over $140,000 too advertise his theory, he has little evidence other than the recent Gay-Pride movements and violent wars. I would also mention that earthquakes are supposed to happen before the end of the world, the Haiti and Japanese earthquakes would be good evidence of doomsday. I am honestly dumbfounded that Camping didn’t even mention those!
-The bible says this about Rapture: “No man will know the date or the time, not even the angles, the son only the father will know”. Well, that’s all I need to know! Get it, know and know. But seriously you have nothing to worry about, for now at least. :D
