One of the simplest yet most complicated cooking basics everyone learns is how to fry an egg. Simple because cracking an egg into a pan and waiting until it's cooked doesn't require much skill, but complicated because if you're not careful, you can easily end up with undercooked whites and an overcooked yolk. So how can you make sure your fried eggs are perfect every time? Taking a few tips from the experts is a great place to start. Here's how some of our favorite celebrity chefs and Food Network personalities fry their eggs. Alton Brown: Cracked in a Ramekin Alton Brown's number one tip for frying eggs is to not crack them directly into the pan. In his recipe for perfect eggs over-easy, he

Several investigators with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office were combing through the massive property in Woodruff Thursday when they heard "banging" coming from a container, said Sheriff Chuck Wright. Once they were able to get inside the metal container -- about 30 feet by 15 feet -- which was padlocked, they found the woman, Kala Brown, with a chain around her neck, the sheriff said. There are no homes on the property, but it is common for people to buy such large parcels of land for hunting and leisure purposes, Wright said.

Kevin Diepenbrock laid at the bottom of a 100 foot embankment for nearly 30 hours, hoping for a miracle. On October 15th, he had been on a scenic motorcycle ride with his friend, Phillip Polito, through the Great Smoky Mountains. They were cruising on a part of U.S. Highway 129 near the North Carolina-Tennessee border called The Dragon, known for it’s sharp curves, when Polito suddenly hit his brakes.  The resulting collision sent both men tumbling down a steep hillside. Polito died in the crash. Diepenbrock, thinking he also might not make it, pulled out his phone and started recording. “Just wanted to say I love you guys. Sorry I was being stupid, but you know that’s what I do.” In the footage,

It’s Friday night, and I’m running around my neighborhood, barefoot, screaming, “Fig Newton!” at the top of my lungs, and shaking a prescription bottle over my head like a maraca. Usually when our dog runs away, the sound of his Prozac brings him home, and tonight is no exception. He streaks down the street like a bolt of lightning, skidding to a stop in front of our house. The look on his face reminds me of an obnoxious tween busted for snapping someone’s bra strap: Who, me? I met Fig when he was twelve weeks old, a recent transport to New Jersey from a kill shelter in Georgia. I’d been lurking on Petfinder for months, much to the chagrin of my husband, who pointed out that-at two, five, and

Haley, 19, claims she’s nine days away from giving birth to a baby boy. She says her unborn son is Jesus and claims she often feels him kicking and moving in her stomach. However, Haley’s mother, Kristi, says her daughter is a “compulsive liar.” She says she has given her multiple pregnancy tests and taken her to different doctors, and all have concluded that Haley is not pregnant. Adamant that she is carrying a child, Haley asks the Dr. Phil show to give her an ultrasound so she can prove to everyone that she is having a baby.

Halloween is a spooky night, but there's nothing scary about this sad pit bull dressed up for the occasion.  William, an 18-year old from Massachusetts, posted a heartbreaking to Twitter of his dog Dublin on Halloween. He was apparently sad that no trick-or-treaters wanted to pet the dog while his mother handed out candy. William is away from home at college, but called his mom on Halloween night to catch up. That's when she told him the heartbreaking news.  "She was passing out candy and said that my dog was crying because people wouldn't pet him. That broke my heart, because my dog is the sweetest thing ever," William told Mashable.  William's tweet has racked up over 48,000 retweets at the

Minnesota company My Pillow’s sweet dreams were made of a patented open-cell, poly-foam design created by inventor Michael J. Lindell. The pillow, a staple of late-night TV infomercials, was an American success story. It has sold some 18 million pillows since the first sale in 2005. My Pillow’s Twitter feed showed celebrities like actors Frankie Muniz and Neil Patrick Harris, former boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and, most recently, GOP nominee Donald Trump accepting a My Pillow into their lives. My Pillow promised comfort, coolness and, as Lindell described it in one commercial, an ability to keep sleepers from “flip-flopping all night long like a guppy.” Lindell told Consumer Reports in February that

I know, this one seems like a tough one, yet your blender, sugar bowl, coffee maker, and other knickknacky things not only take up space on your counter, but they also actually make it impossible to clean. They gather dust and oily muck on and around them, and you ignore it. The person with a clean kitchen wipes down all appliances, etc. with a warm, damp sponge before storing the items in shelves or cabinets. Yes, even those things they use every day. Marie Kondo says, "Tidying your kitchen means wiping away any water or oil." If there's nothing on your stove, sink, or counter, it suddenly becomes really easy to run a sponge over these areas every day to clean up any splashes or spills. Ta-da!

One of the features consumers love most about Amazon.com is the ability to return anything for almost any reason, no questions asked. It's yet another way the e-commerce juggernaut has beaten smaller competitors, who can't afford to give customers so much flexibility. Amazon's obsession with consumers stands in stark contrast to how it treats sellers. The company is now expanding the returns policy in a way that has third-party merchants on edge. Until now, businesses that sell on Amazon's marketplace and handle shipments outside of Amazon's fulfillment centers have not been subject to automatic returns. Instead, they've been able to review return requests individually and enforce certain policies,

Aldi announced it would drop products produced with eight major pesticides that are harmful to bees, but the move is focused primarily on its European stores. Costco has a global pollinator protection policy and will publish it by the end of the year. Whole Foods has adopted its “Responsibly Grown” rating system, which seeks to protect pollinators from toxic pesticides and reduce pesticide use in produce. While consumer demand for bee-friendly organic food continues to show double-digit growth, we found only four of the top food retailers (Albertsons, Costco, Target and Whole Foods) have adopted a public commitment to increase certified organic food offerings or to disclose data on the current percentage of organic offerings or organic sales.

It’s a sight no parents want to ever see - their child in pain. Unfortunately, it’s a sight Andy Whelan sees far too often. His 4-year-old daughter, Jessica, has been battling neuroblastoma, a cancer often found in the small glands on top of the kidneys, for over a year now. A few days ago, they were told Jessica likely has only a few weeks to live. As a father and photographer, Whelan wanted to find a way to remember his little girl, but it was far more painful than he could ever have imagined. “This is the hardest photograph I have ever made, it is in fact my own 4-year-old daughter,” Whelan said. “This photograph was made in a moment that we as parents could offer her no comfort, her pushing

Shirley, a 79-year-old homeowner, has lived most of her life in the Manhattan home her parents bought over 70 years ago. In 2009, Shirley decided to take out a reverse mortgage, or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) in order to provide additional income for herself and her sister, who both rely on Social Security benefits as their sole source of income. Reverse mortgages are designed to allow older homeowners to convert some of the equity in their homes into a loan that will enable them to remain in their homes for the rest of their lives. After they die, their heirs have a year to repay the loan. Homeowners who opt for a reverse mortgage do not make monthly mortgage payments. Instead, they

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been with “Derek” for two months. We’re both 14, and had an on-and-off friendship before it started. Derek has a history of mental illness (including depression and anxiety). Lately, he has started talking about things like college plans and even marriage. He flatters me nonstop and says repeatedly how “perfect” and “goddess-like” I am, completely degrading himself in the process. He says he is “weak, stupid and ugly” compared to me. I’m afraid to dump him because Derek has attempted suicide several times in the past and has hinted at doing it again if I do. I can’t say the words to him with that hanging over me. His parents are unreachable, and he’s already on medication. Derek

Derik Broshar, an American on a work/holiday visa in Australia, was watching some 20 surfers at The Pass in Byron Bay when he noticed a shark swimming among them, so he began videotaping. What he captured was a close encounter when the shark swam into a wave and under an oblivious surfer who was catching the wave. “We were looking down at all the surfers having a good time, and we saw this shark,” Broshar told The Northern Star. “It just slowly moves in towards the surfers and you can kind of hear some people in the background say, ‘We should warn them.’ “There are a few guys trying to whistle down, but it was a little windy so you couldn’t really hear us from that far up. “It starts to turn

It provided the comforting, belly-warming satisfaction a chilly night calls for, and it charmed me with the rustic-chic elegance that came from pairing chickpeas with farro, an ancient variety of wheat that is officially on trend these days, I’m happy to say. When I began to experiment with my own take on it, I realized that the dish involved the same basic technique as a familiar favorite, pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans), which, growing up in Queens, I always knew as “pasta fazool.” The basic idea is the same: The classic onion-carrot-celery triad is softened in a pot with some garlic; then broth, tomatoes and herbs are stirred in along with the beans (which, here, are chickpeas); after those cook for a while, the grain is added and cooked al dente.

EXCLUSIVE A Michael Jackson movie that will show him as a doting parent in the final years of his life is coming to TV. And the good news is, the producer is someone who knew Jackson well from the beginning of his career, and still reveres him. Casting notices have gone out for a Lifetime movie based on the book by Jackson’s bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and  Javon Beard. “Remember The Time: Protecting Michael Jackson In His Final Days,” was published in 2014 and was pretty much on track about Jackson’s life after he returned from his self imposed exile abroad in 2006. The most interesting thing about the casting notice is that the producer of the film is former Motown chief Suzanne DePasse, who

Aubrie Kavanaugh, founder of Paws4Change, wrote the following article in honor of Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Our attachments to animals are emotional and involve chemistry, so a lot of people gravitate to animals based on appearance or based on assumptions about future behavior. The reality of our culture is that people often get pets from breeders, stores or websites because they equate cost with value or worth and they believe animals from sources other than shelters and rescues are somehow superior. The flip side of that negative bias is that people assume that since animals die in shelters in all but our most progressive communities, they must somehow be damaged or broken. Neither or those

Relive the frenemies' drama-filled dynamic on the seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey

In 1939, Vogue published an article chronicling “A Day in the Life of a Queen.” It began: “8:30 a.m.: Breakfast . . . in the scarlet, gold, and black Chinese Room, with the King and Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose.” Twenty minutes later: “8:50 a.m.: The Princesses leave the breakfast table first, to go to their governess, Miss Marion Crawford, in the schoolroom above.” Fast-forward to a little more than a decade later, and Princess Elizabeth is crowned queen. Her already highly regimented schedule became even more so, her life changed in a way that no mere commoner could imagine. New rules applied to her and to those she interacted with on a daily basis.

Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't seen the second episode of The Walking Dead's latest season. The Walking Dead viewers relished a stellar performance by actor Khary Payton when he was introduced on Sunday's episode as the comics' King Ezekiel. Proven quickly to be no idiot, Ezekiel made an intriguing choice when he slaughtered a group of pigs that he had set to feed on walker guts, and then used those pigs' meat as his offering to Negan's Saviors. Some fans took the zombie connection to mean Ezekiel was trying to sabotage the villainous minions' health in one way or another, but there are several reasons why that's not the case. It's easy to see why one would think a zombie-eating pig would

California is in the middle of its fifth year in drought. Experts say it has been the worst the state has seen in 1,200 years. Dwindling reservoirs, shrinking lakes, and dried-up farm fields dot the state's landscape - and despite some recent signs of recovery, the overall outlook is still ominously dry. Across the state, reservoirs remain far below their capacity and, more importantly, far below their historical average. And California isn't alone. Last year, Dean Farrell of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill made a stunning interactive graphic showing the shrinking state of reservoirs across the western US. Still, California stands out, with its reservoirs at roughly 46% of their

Every autumn, the major paint brands name colors they think will dominate decorating trends the following year. So far, 2017 looks fancy. There’s Dunn- Edwards’s Honey Glow, Benjamin Moore’s Shadow and Pratt & Lambert’s Leafy Bower - confident, saturated jewel tones designed to make a bold statement or evoke a sense of glamour. After a five-year fixation with gray, these are certainly exciting choices. Of course, the point of naming a color of the year is to stir up buzz, but the process is surprisingly thorough. Brands invest in full-time color experts who attend trade shows, analyze sales data and examine everything from fashion trends to fine art before making a decision they say reflects

Chic-Fil-A under heat when subliminal message was discovered in logo they've been hiding from consumers.

Although Pharrell Williams’s wife, Helen Lasichanh, has just recently announced that she’s pregnant with the couple’s second child, she’s hardly kicking up her high-top sneaker-shod feet or hiding from the limelight. No, as the designer and former model proved last night at the latest stop on Kanye West’s Saint Pablo tour, pregnancy isn’t going to get in the way of her cool tomboy-influenced style. Lasichanh forwent the usual figure-hiding maternitywear for a streetwise, athleisure-inspired ensemble of sleek black leggings and a monochromatic turtleneck layered underneath a blindingly white windbreaker. The cozy look was admittedly subtle compared to her husband’s bold mix of camouflage prints,

In yesterday’s Lenny Letter, actress Cobie Smulders shared her experience of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she was 25. After multiple surgeries, and a big lifestyle overhaul, the How I Met Your Mother star came out on the other side with a clean bill of health and her fertility intact-she has since given birth to two girls. While getting ovarian cancer at such a young age is rare, it’s not impossible. Luckily, the prognosis is usually better than if you get this type of cancer when you’re older. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 22,000 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed this year, and more than 14,000 women will die from it. It's the fifth leading cause

Sexual affairs may be the most widely known type of infidelity, but these days, betrayal take many forms. “If effort is consistently being expended outside the marriage, that may be a sign of a non-traditional affair, like an emotional affair,” psychotherapist Abby Rodman told The Huffington Post. “The result of a non-traditional affair is the same: The spouse feels hurt, disillusioned and marginalized.” Below, Rodman and other marriage experts share the most damaging types of betrayals that occur in modern marriages.  “This is the most widely known type of affair: Just as humans have emotional needs, we have physical needs, too. We are all social animals and our simple needs are primitive: we

Snake sightings are always pretty creepy, but they don't get more terrifying than this. Australian man Steve Young was out on his property last Sunday when he happened to spot a 1.6 metre (5.2 foot) poisonous red-bellied black snake eating a brown snake - and well over halfway through its meal.

Dear Amy: I have been with my husband for 30 years. We are both in our 70s and this is a second marriage for both of us. I was widowed, and he was divorced. My husband is not an easy person to be with. He treats me like a child and I can’t make any decisions without having to give an “accounting,” whether buying items at the grocery store, reading a certain book or magazine or purchasing personal wear. He is so hypercritical about everything, none of his siblings talk to him; his adult children don’t talk to him and his grandchildren only call him a couple times a year. He was an educator and he is always correcting people, even in social gatherings. If a person makes a mistake about something,

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- AMC says it has cast Wyatt Russell -- the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn -- to play the lead role of Sean "Dud" Dudley in Lodge 49. Written and created by Jim Gavin, the small-screen drama is to premiere in 2018. It is produced by Gavin, Peter Ocko, Paul Giamatti and Dan Carey. Ocko also serves as show-runner for the program, which follows an ex-surfer looking for a new purpose in life. "Dud is a layered, complex, and fascinating character who embodies hope and futility, comedy and tragedy, and the fragility of life," Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV, said in a statement Thursday.

On a recent rainy, gray fall day, I headed to our office kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. There, my coworker Ramona asked how I was doing. I replied with my standard "Ugh, this weather" grimace.

She had my number - like plenty of other New Yorkers, I routinely reach for black, with a smattering of white, gray, or navy mixed in (can you even stand the excitement?). Easy to match? Yes. Liable to cause spontaneous outbreaks of joy? Most definitely not. So, the following day, I reached for a vintage rib-knit Courrèges sweater I'd just bought on eBay, that is the loudest screaming cherry-red you can imagine. Pulling it on, I felt, well, mostly just conspicuous. Neutrals are a way of blending in, or even hiding, whereas this top is the equivalent of hollering "HERE I AM, WORLD - SEE ME, LOVE ME!" when you enter a room. But throughout the day, I noticed Ramona was right - wearing bright red made me feel invigorated, bolder, maybe even a little happier. Same weather, different mood.

TINLEY PARK, Ill., Nov. 2 (UPI) -- A retired Illinois teacher said the $1.05 million lottery jackpot she won on a very special day was "the best birthday gift ever." Sue Swanson of Tinley Park told Illinois Lottery officials she purchased three $1 Lucky Day Lotto Quick Pick tickets on Oct. 2, her 68th birthday, and she found one of the tickets matched all five numbers in the drawing the following day. The ticket earned Swanson $1.05 million when she claimed her winnings at the Lottery Prize Center in Des Plaines. "I want to thank the Illinois Lottery for the best birthday gift ever!" Swanson said. "On my birthday, right after I bought my Lucky Day Lotto ticket, I read my horoscope and it said

As  if the ladies haven't been dramatic enough on season 11 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, things are about to take an uglier turn when the Bravo series airs its three-part reunion special. "As always, the reunion is pretty brutal," Heather Dubrow told E! News. "But I think what's interesting about this reunion is it's interesting to see who can apologize and own their stuff and make amends, and who thinks that they're empirically right and feel that they don't owe anyone anything."  Real Housewives reunions usually paves the way for closure and reconciliation for the show's cast members but more often than not it results to more conflict and drama.

Despite a white-hot electoral battle for the real White House, not everybody is so excited when it comes to owning a cheaper imitation Just across the Potomac from the real First Residence, at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C., a 12,500 square-foot faux version of the White House sits at 8907 Georgetown Pike, in tony McLean, Va. The house was initially marketed by Virginia Beach, Va.-based auctioneer Tranzon Fox in September at $4.99 million before the price was lowered to $3.9 million for an auction last month. But a final bid during the attempted sale on October 27th of $2.8 million was not accepted by the owner, according to Jeff Stein, partner at Tranzon Fox’s Fairfax, Va. office.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday night stayed the execution of an Alabama man convicted of the 1982 shooting death of a woman's husband in a murder-for-hire arrangement. Five justices voted to stay the execution of Tommy Arthur as the high court considers whether to take up his challenge to Alabama's death penalty procedure. Arthur, 74, was scheduled to be executed Thursday by lethal injection at a south Alabama prison.

In Paraguay, alongside the Pilcomayo River, black vultures fly over a shrinking pond where a group of crocodilian reptiles known as yacare caimans seek refuge. Water from the river, which divides Paraguay and Argentina in the area of the Gran Chaco, is scarce. This is not an uncommon sight in the region of General Díaz, about 700 kilometers (435 miles) northwest of the country’s capital, Asunción, where the Pilcomayo's waters form lakes and streams that give life to capybaras, birds and caimans. “The river's situation is critical. No water is forecast to enter the basin until December, as happens every year,” said Alcides Gonzalez, a resident of the area. The Pilcomayo River, which descends from the Bolivian Andes, is at its lowest level in Paraguay in the past 19 years, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Communications. “The river is 60 percent sediment and 40 percent water,” said Gonzalez, who owns a cattle ranch that is also home to deer, capybaras and more than 8,000 caimans that consistently migrate in search of water. “Animals are migrating naturally, but those that are weak no longer move,” Gonzalez said. In the Agropil lagoon, north of Gonzalez's ranch, the once permanent layer of water has turned to mud. Yacare caimans are attracted to the humidity and feed on vultures and other birds that flock around dead animals. Livestock is also beginning to suffer from the scarcity of water. Roughly 100 cows have died in the lagoon area, where most farmers have small ranches and lack the resources to dig wells and pump fresh water.

Promises, promises. By all rights, this should be the subtext of every presidential election campaign. Candidates promise us the moon and deliver something far less celestial. All that pie-in-the-sky stuff about healing the planet and slowing the rise of the oceans? Time is running out for President Barack Obama to deliver on his 2008 campaign pledges. The 2016 presidential campaign has been a contest between a catch-all slogan - “Make America Great Again” - and a long list of policy priorities and promises for every interest group imaginable. Unpleasant realities, such as budget constraints, get airbrushed or buried. Getting elected is the priority. And that means telling voters what they want

NASA's Curiosity rover spotted a strange  rock on Mars, so of course, it shot it with a laser. The intrepid, car-sized robot found an egg-shaped, golf ball-sized shiny rock that looked unlike any other rocks around it on Oct. 27.  NASA Scientists controlling the rover  suspected that the odd rock is an iron meteorite that found its way to the Martian surface.  SEE ALSO: History's most spectacular Mars mission fails So to confirm their suspicions, the researchers had Curiosity fire its laser at the meteorite.  The laser instrument (called ChemCam)  has a specific scientific purpose. The instrument can decipher the chemical makeup of target rocks by gathering data on the types of light the rocks emit when hit with the laser beam. According to Curiosity's chemical analysis, the rock discovered last week is made of nickel and iron. In addition, Curiosity also found an iron-nickel-phosphide mineral that is relatively common in these kinds of meteorites, but rare in other rocks, according to NASA. A close-up of the Egg Rock meteorite showing the grid of white points caused by the blasts from Curiosity's laser. Image:  NASA/JPL-Caltech These metal meteorites are also thought to be leftovers from the cores of asteroids floating around out in the solar system. "Iron meteorites provide records of many different asteroids that broke up, with fragments of their cores ending up on Earth and on Mars," Curiosity team member Horton Newsom said in a statement.  "Mars may have sampled a different population of asteroids than Earth has." This isn't the first meteorite a NASA rover on Mars has spotted.  NASA's Opportunity rover - which is still roaming the surface of Mars - found another iron-nickel meteorite on the planet's surface in 2009. That meteorite, known as the Block Island meteorite, is 2-feet-long, but Opportunity also found another, smaller space rock on the red planet in 2004.  The Block Island meteorite seen by the Opportunity rover. Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University  Scientists aren't sure when Curiosity's meteorite (named Egg Rock) fell to the Martian surface, but the rover's laser may help them figure it out.  NASA will use the data collected by the ChemCam to figure out if the chemical composition in the interior of the meteorite is different from its exterior, possibly giving them clues as to how long the rock has been on eroding on the planet's surface. The meteorite was found on lower Mount Sharp, the part of the Gale Crater that Curiosity is currently exploring. Scientists hope to use the rover's remaining lifespan to learn more about the past environment on Mars millions of years ago, giving them a deeper understanding of if and when the planet was habitable for microbial life. The rover has been investigating the surface of Mars since its landing in 2012.
