Boiling Hops

I was about to make the Bengal Tiger IPA, but then stumbled across something talking about boiling some of the hops in the wort, and then putting another sack in while it fermented.
The question that I have is this: the only part of the wort that I see to boil is the booster, then when I remove it it says to put in the HME. At which point should I be boiling the first sack of hops?
(as a side bar, I have chosen to boil centennial hops and use cascade while fermenting, good choice?)

So start by boiling the gallon of water with the hops and the UME.
Then add HME and Booster and then ice bath before putting the it in the keg followed by pitching yeast in the fermenter?

assuming it's a mr. beer-sized recipe, add the UME to the water, and bring to a boil. once you have a rolling (not too light, but not super vigorous) boil, THEN you start with the hops. start a 60 min timer, add maybe .25 oz of centennial... wait 40 mins (so when there's 20 mins left on the timer), add another .25 oz of centennial. wait another 13 mins (so when there's 7 mins remaining on the timer), add maybe .25 oz centennial and .25 oz of cascade. when the timer is up, take the pot off the heat, stir in the HME, and move it to an ice bath. cool and ferment as per usual, and maybe dry hop .25 oz of centennial, and .25 oz of cascade after a week and two days... just chuck the pellets in the fermenter. they'll sink to the bottom. wait another 5 days (to get to the full two week mark), then bottle, carbonate 2 weeks at room temperature, and condition for two weeks in the fridge. BEER!

BEER! I think he has 1/2 oz Mr. Beer packages of hops.

I think he has 1/2 oz Mr. Beer packages of hops. oh. well... then... adjust the hops for the amounts you have on hand. maybe use .25 oz of the centennial for the 60 min addition, then use .25 oz cascades for the 20 mins and .25 oz for the 7 min additions. then, use .25 oz centennial and .25 oz cascade for the dry hop. i think that adds up?
