  • Facebook News Feed - Delete Item?

    Is a news feed post permanent? I was posting a link and in some way posted an incorrect link and a URL to my News Feed page and I can't get it off. The hide button does not show and I want it removed because it is incorrect information. Yes, I'm new at this and I did go to FAQs on Facebook, but those answers didn't work either.

  • Need Expert Advice on Barcadi Rum Cake?

    Made the cake. It is not like my friend's (she is now deceased). Had the sort of right flavor, was not as moist as hers. You knew it had rum, but it wasn't that noticeable. Do you have to make the cake, then soak it in rum, instead of that glaze thing with the holes poked in the cake? Do you have to wrap in foil or put in a tin with the booze? Help, I need a decent one by the 25th.

    Here's the recipe:

    1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

    1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

    4 eggs

    1/2 cup water

    1/2 cup vegetable oil

    1/2 cup rum

    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    3 tablespoons butter

    1/4 cup water

    1 cup white sugar

    1/2 cup rum

    Directions

    1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.

    2.Combine cake mix and pudding mix.

    3.In another bowl beat eggs, water, oil and rum until frothy. Add cake mix/pudding mixture and beat until well mixed. Spread pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan and pour batter over pecans.

    4.Bake cake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry when inserted in the center. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Place in serving dish immediately, right side up. (Pecans should be on the bottom)

    5.To Make Glaze: During the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking time, combine butter or margarine, water and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and boil rapidly until it's very thick and syrupy stirring very frequently. The syrup must be reduced quite a bit and very thick otherwise it will make the cake mushy. Remove from heat and add rum. While cake is still hot, poke holes all over top of cake with a toothpick and spoon glaze over top of cake. Allow cake to sit at room temperature for one day then refrigerate.

  • How do you care for a very large peace lily?

    I have a 5 foot high and about 4 ft wide peace lily. It was blooming and bushy but is dying quickly, sent to my mom's funeral, leaves browning and dying out. Does anyone know how to keep it alive? It is too big for me to repot alone, so I want to keep it in the same pot. Does it need food? It's in patio window getting low level light and water to keep it from drooping. Will flourescent light tube help? Thanks.

  • Volleyball outfits for women?

    I'm curious if there is any reason (than sexism) why the women are almost naked and the men play in real clothes. Does it really take a 95% naked female draw attention to women's volleyball. Maybe the WNBA should try that!?!? No really, what is the reason? I'd rather not play in these two little pieces of fabric.
