The history of Coalbrookdale foundry dates back all the way to 1572 when the land was passed to John Brooke who developed coal mining there on a substantial scale. A blast furnace was built at the site to produce iron, which blew up in 1703. It remained derelict until the arrival of Abraham Darby I in 1709. Abraham Darby I set about rebuilding the Coalbrookdale Furnace, using coke as the fuel. His business was that of an iron founder, making cast iron pots and other goods, an activity in which he was particularly successful because of his patented foundry method, which enabled him to produce cheaper pots than his rivals. The furnace was the first coke-fired blast furnace to operate successfully for a prolonged period of time. The Coalbrookdale Foundry – this area has since been converted into a museum Following the death of Abraham Darby II, Abraham Darby II was brought into the business as an assistant manager when old enough. The Company also became early suppliers of steam engine cylinders in this period. Experiments took place with the application of coke pig iron to the production of bar iron in charcoal finery forges. This proved to be a success, and led to the beginning of a great expansion in coke iron making. In 1768, the company began to produce the first cast iron rails for railways. In 1778, Abraham Darby III undertook the building of the world's first cast iron bridge, the iconic Iron Bridge, opened in 1780. The fame of this bridge leads many people today to associate the Industrial Revolution with the neighbouring village of Ironbridge, but in fact most of the work was done at Coalbrookdale, as there was no settlement at Ironbridge in the eighteenth century. Workers boots hung on the front gate The blast furnaces were closed down, perhaps as early as the 1820s, but the foundries remained in use. The Coalbrookdale Company became part of an alliance of iron founding companies who were absorbed by Allied Iron founders Limited in 1929. This was in turn taken over by Glynwed which has since become Aga Foodservice. Castings for Aga Rayburn cookers were produced at Coalbrookdale until its closure in November 2017.

Spain has long been the British holidaymaker's best friend, and with good reason. Family-friendly and purse-friendly, Spain draws millions of tourists every year to its sunny beaches and beautiful cities. It may be just a few hours from the UK, but the tasty food, welcoming resorts and laidback way of life will take you a thousand miles away from your day-to-day stress.
Things to Do
For a fun-filled beach holiday, Spain has many options. From the Costas of the east coast to the Balearic and Canary Islands, there are resorts to suit a family beach break, a romantic couples holiday or a group clubbing weekend. Barcelona is a go-to European city break conveniently located near the beach, and capital city Madrid has everything you need for a shopping weekend or foodie break.
Food and Drink
Spanish cuisine varies from region to region, but the Mediterranean diet is always packed with fresh vegetables, oils, grains and tasty seafood. Lunch is normally a long, leisurely affair and the biggest meal of the day with three courses often being consumed, while dinner is traditionally served late. Don't worry though - most resorts cater well for international tourists so you'll still be able to eat earlier if you wish.
Beautiful islands offering golden beaches and rich cultural heritage, alongside some of the best nightlife in Europe, check out the Balearic Islands for your perfect summer break!
For the ideal city break, head to Barcelona! Bursting with Spanish culture, take in the famous sights of Las Ramblas and Gaudi's unfinished 'Sagrada Familia' and try traditional Spanish tapas in one of the city's many tavernas.
The Canaries are made of seven different islands, each one offering unique attractions. The most popular islands for holidaymakers include Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
With miles of sandy beaches and glorious sunshine, it's no wonder the resorts of Costa Del Sol are such a hit with holidaymakers of all ages.

Wahrani Loop Trail is a 3 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Lanexa, Virginia that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

A relatively unknown park maintained by the County, Wahrani has changed hands over the years and been re-blazed several times to the point that the markers are very confusing. There are lots of cut-throughs as well, so not getting turned around your first time there is part of the charm/challenge. Luckily you're never so far from Rt-33/30 that you can't figure out how to get back to the parking area just by listening carefully.
Nice light trails
Melinda P.
good hills and trails.
Really nice trail , get a map or follow along with the gps maps here. Wineries in the area make for a nice stop afterwards. Its not hard , meanders up and down just enough. Would make a great trail to run on.
Have been running here almost everyday for the past year and no matter the season, it remains beautiful. Nice nature trail!
One of my favorite trails, but I stay on D trail the most and enjoy visiting the two graves. They are surrounded by a white fence. The brook is scenic and meanders throughout the B and C trails. There is a port-a-potty on site and playground with swings as well.
Great scenery, plenty of uphill climbs, got off the trail a few times but this app helped to guide me back. It was poorly marked. There were 2 graves in the middle of the hike of people whom died in the 1700's- random but interesting. I wasn't trying to beat any records being that I had my 4 month old golden retriever with me. Overall a great experience.
Good and fun!
Awesome. Go passed the power lines to find Legendary Trail D.
I go there about once a week. It's great with the tree cover. If you get a late start in the morning and the sun is all the way up, not a problem. The trees keep the cool in. Nice clean air.
A pretty little hike! I took a little boy I babysit and we had a blast. Perfect for beginners. The trail isn't very well marked, but has been improved since my first visit. There are benches along the trail as well as swings and a play area for kids at the front of the park.
What an incredible walk in the woods. Don't trust the blazes but do bring electronic navigation and a good old fashioned compass for backup. The route is obstructed by blow-down and overgrowth in places. (If I did it right) It was too late in the year for wild flowers or flowering trees, but I saw evidence that they exist here. The trail is listed as 279 feet of elevation gain, but I think it was a lot more. Even though it was a Sunday, I did not pass any other hikers. There was very light rain for a few minutes so maybe that is why.
Not marked very well, but if you walk far enough there is a few graves. Very nice, non strenuous hike.
Great little hidden jewel of a park. While the blaze markers should just be ignored, they are so confusing, once you get your bearings here there's a lot to enjoy.
Horrible. Not marked or well kept.
John K.
Beautiful park if you're looking to get lost in the woods. No real scenic views, just a beautiful dense forest. There was a light rain and I barely got wet. Very difficult to navigate with poor markings, but small enough that you won't get truly lost. There is a gravesite for Captain John Long, an 18th century sea captain, but after 2 hours walking around, I never did find it . Maybe next time. It's supposed to have a trail for mountain biking, but none of the trails I found myself on seemed appropriate for it.
Decent enough trail, but it was not very well marked on the backside, which resulted in me having to bushwhack for a few hundred feet until I found another trail to follow.
A miniature rollercoaster with plenty of little valleys and hills. Not a bad primer for someone building themselves up for the AT.

A few days ago, I released The Get Rich Slowly Guide to Roth IRAs as a free e-book. Readers who are interested in opening a retirement account can download this short book — which draws from a series of articles I wrote two years ago — and use it as a reference as they work through the process.
Though this is my first e-book (it won't be my last), there are a variety of other great personal-finance e-books available for free download. You can pick up others for just a couple of bucks — or by subscribing to an e-mail newsletter. Here's a quick overview of some I've found lately.
Free e-books about money
First up, Robert Pagliarini is offering his Plan Z: How to Survive the Financial Crisis as a free download. Pagliarini is a certified financial planner and the author of The Six-Day Financial Makeover. Plan Z is his guide to preparing for — and living through — the worst. If you're struggling with your personal finances, this free download may help you gain some ground.
On a similar note, my friend Leo from Zen Habits has created a free e-book entitled Thriving on Less in a Tough Economy. This book is all about taking charge of your life, exercising power over the things you can control. By cutting back and focusing on the essentials, by making small changes, you can actually live a very rich life.
Next, Money Management International has a free e-book at their financial literacy website. Tips for Change contains "tips submitted by financially savvy consumers", including this one from yours truly:
Here's one excellent way to begin your retirement savings: When you've finished paying off your debt, take the amount you were using for this each month and, instead of spending it, stick it into a retirement account. You've already developed the habit of using the money to improve your financial life; this is just another way to do it!
Mike Piper, The Oblivious Investor, has temporarily made his latest book available for download. Mike writes a series of books that are like CliffsNotes for financial topics. His latest volume is called Investing Made Simple, and covers topics like:
- asset allocation
- how to pick mutual funds
- the difference between Roth IRAs, traditional IRAs, and 401(k)s
- how to avoid frequent mistakes
This isn't really an e-book — it's literally the PDF version of his latest book, and will only be available during the month of September. If you're interested in this, download it today!
NCN at No Credit Needed has a short-and-sweet 8-page guide to getting out of debt available as a free download. If you're in that first stage of personal finance, check out the No Credit Needed Debt Reduction Guide.
Finally, the United States Federal Citizen Information Center offers many free and inexpensive books and pamphlets. Here's their list of money-related publications. You can use this form to order print versions of each item, but also note that many of these items are available for free download. There are publications on building credit, buying life insurance, investing in mutual funds, and more. I highly recommend bookmarking this site for future reference.
E-books with a cost (or a catch)
While preparing this post, I also found a handful of worthwhile e-books that can be had for a small cost — or a small catch.
For example, Trent at The Simple Dollar has created a number of e-books built from the content on his site. These books aren't free — but they're nearly so. For just two bucks each, you can download the following:
- 31 Days to Fix Your Finances, a month-long program for taking control of your financial life.
- The One-Hour Project, which lists a series of 30 small one-hour projects you can use to put your finances on a better path.
- Twenty Big Ideas, detailed summaries and reviews of great personal-finance and personal-development books.
- Building a Better Blog, a guide to creating and growing a blog community.
Over at Squawkfox, Kerry has put together The Insider's Guide to Frugal Food and Fitness. This polished package is filled with tips and tricks not just for saving money, but also for getting in shape.
Finally, Jim from Bargaineering has created a couple of e-books. The first is his College Grad Money Guide, which you can obtain for free by subscribing to his RSS feed. The second highlights 100 Easy Ways to Save Money, which is free when you subscribe to his e-mail newsletter.
Have you found any worthwhile personal-finance e-books? How much did you pay? Where did you get them?

John was born in Wales to Anna and John Roberts. Although he was not a Catholic, he was taught by an elderly priest and at heart he was always a Catholic.
John went to Oxford University in England for a few years before going to study law. He then took a trip to France to have a good time. But his trip turned out to be more than fun.
It was in Paris, France, that another Englishman who was Catholic had great influence on him and John found great happiness in joining the Catholic Church.
John lost no time after this in taking steps to become a priest. He went to an English college in Spain and became a Benedictine monk.
Then his great dream of going back to England came true three years later when he and another monk were given permission to go. They knew the dangers they would face because Catholics were not welcome there, especially not priests.
In fact, they did not have long to wait before trouble began. They entered England wearing plumed hats and swords at their sides. But soon they were arrested for being priests and sent out of the country.
St. John Roberts managed to return to England again. He worked day and night to keep the Catholic faith alive during Queen Elizabeth's terrible persecution. Several times he was captured, put in prison, and exiled, yet he always returned.
The last time Father John was arrested, he was finishing Mass. This time there was no escape. When asked, he boldly said that he was a priest and a monk.
He explained that he had come to England to work for the salvation of the people. "Were I to live longer," he added, "I would continue to do what I have been doing." St. John was then condemned to death.
The night before he was to be hanged, a good Spanish lady arranged for him to have supper with eighteen other prisoners. They were also suffering for Christ's sake.
During their supper together, St. John was full of joy. Then he thought perhaps he should not show so much happiness. "Do you think I may be giving bad example by my joy?" he asked his hostess.
"No, certainly not," she replied. "You could not do anything better than to let everyone see the cheerful courage you have as you are about to die for Christ."
The next day, St. John was hanged. The crowds were so attracted by the personality of this young priest that they did not let the executioners make him suffer. St. John Roberts was martyred in 1610.
Today, let us pray for all of the dedicated men and women who boldly spend their lives to bring Jesus and the good news of salvation to others.

Unit dedicated to solving cold case files in Alabama
By Desiree Hunter Associated Press Writer
MONTGOMERY — Alabama police departments that run out of resources to investigate cases now have another tool to use in bringing criminals to justice: a new cold case unit.
Attorney General Troy King announced Wednesday that his office will open the two-investigator unit on Oct. 1 with a $200,000 appropriation from the state Legislature. The investigators will work exclusively on cold cases, reviewing those submitted by local authorities as well as taking calls from the public.
King said civil rights era cases that "continue to stalk and haunt the South" will get special attention, but not to the exclusion of more recent cases. New forensics technology — such as DNA testing — will also be used, he said.
"We watch these television programs unfold and we see cold case unit television shows," he said during a news conference at the Statehouse. "People in our state don't understand why that has to be fantasy on TV. and why it's not reality in our state. With today's announcement it is reality in our state."
A committee will start screening cases for the unit based on factors including the age of the case, severity of the crime, existence of DNA evidence and availability of witnesses.
J.W. Barnes, who was a general investigator in King's office, will be one of the two members of the new unit and a personnel search has begun for the second.
Barnes said cases often turn cold when the original lead detective leaves the investigation. Cases can be considered cold whether they're left unsolved for six months, three years or even 40 years like those from the civil rights era, he said.
"A lot of these cases, you put them in a file cabinet and the police departments — especially ones where manpower is thin — they're busy fighting crime that occurred today and they really don't have time to look at murders that occurred in the past," he said. "So I'm hoping that we can help these law enforcement agencies by assisting them in reviewing these old cases."
King would not say which civil rights cases are being considered, but he said his office has been working with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that has pressed for more prosecutions.
House Government Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. John Knight, D-Montgomery, said he pushed for the appropriation because "family members deserves to know what happened in those" cold cases.
A Perry County grand jury returned an indictment in May against former state trooper James Bonard Fowler, who shot Jimmie Lee Jackson during a civil rights protest in 1965. The shooting, which Fowler said was in self-defense, became the catalyst for the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march later that year and passage of the Voting Rights Act.
Perry County District Attorney Michael Jackson initiated that investigation and indictment of Fowler after an earlier inquiry by King's office did not result in any charges.
Southern Poverty Law Center President Richard Cohen said the Jackson case highlights the need for initiatives like the new unit. The Montgomery-based center has identified about 75 such unsolved civil rights era cases, he said in a telephone interview.
"If this cold case unit is going to live up to its name, you have to do more than hold a news conference," Cohen said. "They need to do all they can to unearth potential cases and the state's involvement in the Jimmie Lee Jackson case is critical."
"Also, it's very important that we not give families false hope that all these crimes will be solved because the reality is they won't. What we can give them is the assurance that we will do everything we can to see that justice is done."

Odejayi managed to miss a chance against Cardiff in Sunday´s FA Cup semi-final defeat after having a whole half to run into and, despite missing another howler, did manage to steer the Tykes deservedly ahead before the break.
Captain Stephen Foster then headed in a second before Odejayi produced an accomplished finish on the break to triple his league tally for the campaign and dent the Hornets´ chances of automatic promotion.

Change L.A.
What started as a series of after-work get-togethers in DTLA has turned into a network of younger Liberty Hill supporters who gather in casual settings to "put the social in social justice."
Introducing friends and colleagues to Liberty Hill's across-boundaries community is a progressive's pleasure, and the almost-annual "Change L.A." is a party with a purpose. Each celebration honors a young philanthropist and a young community organizer, spotlighting the contributions of new generations of local social justice visionaries. The Sarah Pillsbury NextGen Award, established by one of our founders, is given to an inspirational leader who invests time and raises funds to advance social justice in Los Angeles. Liberty Hill's Wally Marks Changemaker Award, named for a longtime supporter, is given each year to an individual whose work in the community illustrates Dr. King's insight that while "the arc of history is long, it bends toward justice."

Hedge fund manager pleads guilty to Ponzi scheme
PORTLAND — A Portland hedge-fund manager pleaded guilty Tuesday to 17 counts of mail and wire fraud in a Ponzi scheme he orchestrated in Oregon, Washington and other states.
Yusaf Jawed, 44, is scheduled to be sentenced June 21. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors and the defense will recommend 6 1/2 years in prison, Assistant U.S. Attorney Allan Garten said.
Jawed has also agreed to forfeit $6.4 million in ill-gotten gains and make restitution to investors, if possible.
"No one expects the $6.4 million will ever be paid by him," Michael Esler, an attorney representing defrauded investors, told The Oregonian newspaper last week.
The crimes to which Jawed pleaded guilty dealt with money he took from investors between February 2008 and September 2009. The scheme, however, is believed to have lasted for more than a decade.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a civil lawsuit against Jawed, alleging he falsely boasted of double-digit returns to lure more than 100 people to invest $37 million in hedge funds he managed. He then used money to pay off earlier investors and pay for his personal expenses and travel.
The complaint claims little of the money was invested. Jawed, who previously worked a stockbroker, allegedly created phony assets and sent bogus account statements to investors.

Six directors (four of them women) have been named the winners of the Fund, and another three documentarians (two of them women) the recipients of the Spotlighting Women Documentary Award.
Over the past seven years, the Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund has supported 54 films and gifted $910,000 in grants.

National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP)
Together, we are working to enhance the status of direct support professionals and promote the development of a highly competent human services workforce. We recognize that people needing support are more likely to fulfill their life dreams if they have well-trained, experienced, and motivated people at their side in long-term, stable, compatible support relationships.
In 1996, NADSP's ideological founder, John F. Kennedy Jr. wrote "Quality is defined at the point of interaction between the staff member and the individual with a disability". Given this, NADSP's mission is to enhance the quality of support provided to people with disabilities through the provision of products, services, and certifications which elevate the status of direct support workers, improve practice standards, promote systems reform and, most importantly, advance the knowledge, skills, and values of direct support workers.
NADSP envisions a world where people with intellectual and other disabilities live community-based lives of their choosing supported by a highly qualified direct support workforce with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to support them in achieving their life goals.

Yellow Flag DSP Appreciation Day
This year, the Direct Support Professional Yellow Flag Appreciation event will take place on the State House lawn in Concord, NH on September 8th, 2017. The purpose of this event, brought to New Hampshire by Barbara Wilson, is to elevate the awareness and importance of the direct support profession. Each Yellow Flag will have the name of a DSP and the individual that they work with (made by people with disabilities, families and others). Over 1,000 Yellow Flags will be flying which represent the many dedicated and committed Direct Support Professionals who proudly serve citizens with disabilities in our state.
We encourage anyone who is touched by a Direct Support Professional to make a flag of their own - a person with a disability, their families, a friend or associates. Come join us in Concord on September 8th and add it to our collection.

Important instructions for making a flag:
The following is an opening speech given by Robin Carlson, a Direct Support Professional, at the Yellow Flag event on September 11, 2015.
Thank you all for coming today to this magnificent celebration-the Yellow Flag Campaign.
Direct Support Professionals in NH and around our country who have chosen this career to serve citizens with disabilities are foundational players in our larger human service system.
Just like our soldiers who sign up to protect our country-defend our freedom and our life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness-we too are an army of servants who protect and serve our most vulnerable citizens.
Robert McAfee Brown, a Presbyterian minister and social justice activist, once said, "A moral society will express special concern for the powerless. A society will be moral to the degree that those in it are ceaselessly concerned about those who lack power; those who will therefore be victimized."
People with disabilities have been victimized with a long history of institutionalization, lack of adequate funding and resources and less than a high measure of respect.
By default, those who directly work for them suffer from low wages, lackluster benefits and credentials that could get you a job at McDonalds.
This is proof that we still have a long way to go until our society becomes the moral powerhouse it has the potential to be.
So we must continue to fight the good fight of helping our fellow human beings who experience disabilities to live a good life of their choosing in NH and everywhere.
We can do that by strengthening a workforce that has high standards, a live-able wage and good healthcare.
We must find the courage and tenacity to challenge the status quo because our goal is to create a just and moral society where the powerful leaders see all their citizens as valuable.
Thank you.

College can be a wonderful experience, despite how overwhelming it may seem. The following article contains some very helpful tips and tricks on how you can make it through college and become a graduate. Consider tips such as this and make sure that you think twice about the decisions you choose because it could affect your entire life.
When you go to college, bring along shampoo, conditioner, soap and so on. You'll go through these toiletries pretty fast through regular use. Try to buy in bulk as well, as this will help you to save money over time.
As you prepare for college, it helps to make a detailed list of everything you may need. It's best to be totally prepared rather than arriving to discover there are many things you need. This is beneficial if you are traveling a long distance to your college.
Don't set unrealistic goals for yourself when scheduling classes and work. Do not schedule a class that will be challenging for you early in the day if you have a problem waking up in the morning. You should know how your sleep schedule will affect your education.
If you are experiencing problems in classes, you can get help studying. Many students that got high grades in high school may not know how to study in college. Study skills classes teach the skills necessary to do well in college.
Do not take a test without first preparing all the materials you are going to need. If you forget an item, this can cause stress while affecting your overall score on the exam. Make sure you have what you need because the teacher may not have supplies for you.
If you wish to get the most out of studying, it's important to do it in the right environment. The best location for your studies isn't always your dorm. Look for a quieter area that is free from interruptions. Usually, the library is the best location. Another good choice is to purchase headphones that cancel out the noise.
If your campus has a gym, be sure to take advantage of it. Not only will you get into a good workout routine, but you can meet like-minded people this way. You can broaden your social circle and find workout buddies.
Pay off any debt in full each month. This will prevent you from having to pay penalties such as late fees. In general, you should try and only use your credit card for emergencies. You may want to use it to go out and have fun, but your college goal is to learn. Financial troubles can be very distracting.
Get a bus pass. Often times, the time it takes to ride the bus is about the same as it would be to drive there. Finding a parking spot on campus can often be time consuming. In addition, you'll save money on gas and parking permits. This is also a good way to do something for the planet.
If you are going out of state for, think long and hard about taking your car with you. Many larger cities have limited free parking areas. It can also be hard to pay for everything owning a car entails, such as insurance and gas.
Always be aware of the phone number or extension needed to quickly contact campus security. You should be able to reach them quickly. Hopefully, you will never need that number, but you should have it, just in case.
Your high school accomplishments won't count much in college. College will demand different skills and an adjustment period for you to feel comfortable. Remember that college is an entirely different experience than high school. Be prepared to try new things and experiences.
Apply for an internship when you're going to college. You can get a chance to experience what you will be doing after college. An added bonus is the possibility that you may receive a job offer from it. Ask about internships at your school.
If you like to drink coffee, avoid buying coffee each morning. It costs a lot of money. Make coffee at home. While not very convenient, it will save you lots of money. If you do some shopping, you can buy a pretty affordable machine that serves you well.
Take short breaks regularly. Taking breaks is about as important for you to remember as the actual act of studying itself. For each hour you devote to your studies, you should take a 15 minute break to refresh your brain. Create a schedule and stay with it.
Don't cave to the pressures of a deadline by submitting the first copy of any written assignment. Allow yourself to have enough time to go back over it. Rewrite it if need be. Proofread the second draft and perfect it. This will help you turn in the best paper possible.
Go to a school for at least a year before you give up on it. A new school takes an adjustment period, at which point you will feel better about your situation. Think about your options if you are still not satisfied after a year.
Pack only essentials to reduce clutter in your dorm. Dorms rooms aren't huge and even little messes can be a big issue. Make a list of the basics and stick with it while shopping for your room. Concentrate on purchasing things that can help you make the most of the space you have.
Make friends or study buddies with at least 3 of your classmates. Although you may not be the type of person who enjoys engaging with strangers, doing so can really help you out in your college years. Give them your number as this can expand your contacts and especially helpful if you miss a class. You may also find that you can help each other study outside of class.
The successful college student builds a foundation of hard work with a splash of fun and excitement here and there. However, you should ensure that you don't allow yourself to stray too far off from hard work because your ultimate goal is graduating. You will face many different obstacles, but if you utilize the advice provided to you above, you can succeed.

A penalty miss and no goals in three hours for Portugal against Iceland and Austria suggest that Real Madrid hero Cristiano Ronaldo has been a little off-colour so far at Euro 2016.
But the former Manchester United star is still smashing it away from football, having bagged himself a red-hot new girlfriend.
So, let's introduce her.
Ronaldo's new girlfriend is Italian glamour model Elisa Panicis.
Elisa Panicis. Lovely name, that.

Snickers Cupcakes
Snickers Cupcakes with a caramel coated Snickers filling, rich caramel frosting, and topped with caramel drizzle and chopped Snickers. These cupcakes are what dreams are made of! I don't usually eat candy bars, but if I do it will always be a Snickers.
One of the dermatologists that my husband works with is celebrating a birthday today. I thought what better way to celebrate than with these incredible cupcakes! I sure hope he is a Snickers fan, but seriously who isn't? 😉 With the Snickers bar being one of the most popular selling candy bars in the world, I figured you can't go wrong. In fact, over 15 million Snickers bars are manufactured everyday! This popular candy bar was first introduced by Frank and Ethel Mars in 1930 and named after their favorite horse, Snickers. Consisting of peanut nougat, roasted peanuts, caramel, and chocolate it is easy to see how the annual global sales of Snickers are more than 2 billion a year! So what is your favorite candy bar? Have you ever tried cooking/baking with them?
Snickers Cupcakes
Snickers Cupcakes with a caramel coated Snickers filling, rich caramel frosting, and topped with caramel drizzle and chopped Snickers. These cupcakes are what dreams are made of!
Yield: about 20 cupcakes
For the Cupcakes:
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot water
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1½ cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 egg yolk, room temperature
1¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup sour cream, at room temperature
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Filling:
12 fun-size Snickers bars, chopped
For the Caramel Frosting:
3 ½ to 4 cups powdered sugar
8 fun-size Snickers bars, chopped
To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line muffin pan with paper liners.
In a two-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and the sugar, stirring occasionally until the butter is melted and mixture is combined. Remove from the heat and transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until the mixture is cooled, about 4-5 minutes. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Mix in vanilla and cocoa mixture until incorporated. With the mixer on low speed add in the dry ingredients in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, beating just until combined.
Fill the cupcake papers three-quarters full, making sure that the batter is divided evenly. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the filling, melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the salt and brown sugar and heat the mixture to boiling, stirring constantly. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, until the sugar is totally dissolved. Stir in the milk and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in vanilla. Cool to lukewarm, about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once cupcakes have cooled, use a paring knife or apple corer to cut out a small circle in the center of each cupcake.
Remove the core and discard.
To make the cupcake filling, in a medium bowl, combine the chopped Snickers and 1/4 cup of the cooled caramel sauce and mix to coat. Drop a spoonful of the filling mixture into each cupcake.
Reserve three tablespoons of caramel sauce for drizzling over frosted cupcakes.
To make the frosting, transfer remaining caramel sauce to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the powdered sugar and beat on medium-high speed until until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Adjust consistency with a little more milk or powdered sugar, if necessary.
Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe a spiral of icing, beginning at the outer edge and working inward. Drizzle the frosted cupcakes with the three tablespoons of caramel sauce and garnish with chopped Snickers bars.

Yum! I don't eat much candy, but my favorite is a Snickers, too. These look awesome. Love the idea of stuffing them, plus the cake looks so dense and moist! How nice of you to make these for them.
If he doesn't like the cupcakes, you can send them my way!
That icing sounds and looks just gorgeous.
i'm bookmarking this for the caramel frosting – i think it would be amazing on vanilla cupcakes too!
Awwwwwwhhhh, I want those RIGHT NOW! No joke! You just gave me the Largest craving EVER for that! 🙂
Christina; you really have my attention with these cupcakes. Gourmet cupcakes are the latest food trend. I'm sure these are up there with the best. Can't wait to try them!
Christina, you seriously have the prettiest food!
Chocolate and peanut butter is just about the greatest combination ever! These look and sound delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Christie,
A few of my readers and other bloggers have alerted me to the fact that you had posted these cupcakes and did not cite me. I see that you listed Pass the Sushi as the source, but this combination is from my blog and she clearly cited me at the top of her post. Even though you used a different frosting, the idea is still from me and this is not proper citation. I always credit both where I found the recipe and the initial source, and that is really most appropriate.
Hi Annie,
I certainly did not intend to overlook whether or not you were the first person to make these cupcakes. You will see that I have added you as a source.
Best regards,
seriously, those look fantastic! who doesnt love a snickers? and that icing really sets them apart from other recipes ive seen similar to this… ive never thought to make a frosting using that method. as much as i miss living near you, this is one time where its probably better for me (specifically my waistline) that i dont live close by!
My birthday is in August so feel free to make another batch then, haha 😉 These look so good. I love the salty sweet combination. My favorite candy "bar" would probably be Reese's peanut butter cups. I just LOVE peanut butter; can't get enough!
oh dear, now i'm craving a chocolate pb cupcake!!!
I want one now! LOL I can't wait to blog about these!!
haha, they look delicious. I do love snickers too (not that i ever eat them now a days!).
Gorgeous cupcakes!
Man, I just got a sugar rush from lookin' at that thing! I so need one, just one, right now. Especially after a workout! :-p
I love Snickers bars and I love cupcakes. These were definitely made for me! 😀
They look delicious!
So, ummm, how were these cupcakes? You just commercialized your post by going on and on about the Snickers Bar itself but never really told us about what the cupcake actually tasted like.
I love how you used the leftover caramel to make the frosting. These cupcakes look fantastic.
My mouth is watering! These cupcakes look amazing!!! I'm sure your hubby's office adored them. Yum!
What pretty cupcakes and I love that you stuffed them with the candy bar. I always get so excited when I bite into something that has been stuffed. By the way your piping skills are awesome come teach me? !
These look fantastic! My mom loves Snickers and would seriously go crazy for these 🙂
wow these look fantastic!!!!!!! i wish i was your co-worker… they probably love you! lol. god i wish i knew people who could bake me these goodies, besides myself. this looks awesome, and i love snickers.
Wow that looks amazing! Perfect treat for when you really need one 😉
Yum. Peanut butter and chocolate is one of the greatest combinations, isn't it?
WOW! These look heavenly!
these look…awesome!
i make PB Cup cupcakes and have used Twix bars, butterfingers, and Rolos. Never Snickers tho. YUM!!!!!
Thank you, Christy, for taking the time to write this tutorial. It's a lot of help to "see" and have comments about how to do things. Much better than just following a recipe.

Does this make 12 or 24 cupcakes? I'm looking to make a small batch of 12 and was wondering if I should cut this is half?
This recipe makes 20 cupcakes. You can cut the recipe in half. If you give them a try I would love to hear how they turn out for you! 🙂

Hi Cristina,
I made these cupcakes today and once I bit into the moist sweetness I think I actually went to heaven the whole time I was indulging myself with them. Thank you so much for this recipe I know I will be making these cupcakes many times in the years to come.

A robust return-map algorithm for general multisurface plasticity
Three new contributions to the field of multisurface plasticity are presented for general situations with an arbitrary number of nonlinear yield surfaces with hardening or softening. A method for handling linearly dependent flow directions is described. A residual that can be used in a line search is defined. An algorithm that has been implemented and comprehensively tested is discussed in detail. Examples are presented to illustrate the computational cost of various components of the algorithm. The overall result is that a single Newton-Raphson iteration of the algorithm costs between 1.5 and 2 times that of an elastic calculation. Examples also illustrate the successful convergence of the algorithm in complicated situations. For example, without using the new contributions presented here, the algorithm fails to converge for approximately 50% of the trial stresses for a common geomechanical model of sedementary rocks, while the current algorithm results in complete success. Since it involves no approximations, the algorithm is used to quantify the accuracy of an efficient, pragmatic, but approximate, algorithm used for sedimentary-rock plasticity in a commercial software package. Furthermore, the main weakness of the algorithm is identified as the difficulty of correctly choosing the set of initially active constraints in the generalmore »

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons Songfacts
Artistfacts ®
Songfacts ®
The Las Vegas Rock band Imagine Dragons open their debut album,
Night Visions
, with this track on the subject of embracing change. Dan Reynolds sings about the realization that the world is becoming different and breaking free by doing something new. The song was released as the band's second single on February 14, 2012, the same day "
It's Time
" was released.
Uses of the song in media include it being played in the trailers for the video game
Assassin's Creed III
and the film
The Host
. The tune also soundtracked the spot promoting the first season of the NBC drama series
Chicago Fire
Regarding the album title, Dan Reynolds explained to
that it was inspired by the twilight hours, the band's favorite time. "When the title came up in conversation, we just knew it was right," he said. "We always write between 3 am and 6 am, that's when we write best. That's the only time we write actually.
Our guitarist is a clinical insomniac; he sends me stuff that he's written after being up for five days straight. A lot of that guitar made its way to the album.
After dark, my lyrics are born. A lot of lyrics I have written have come from dreams and of course nightmares."
The song's Syndrome-directed music video was shot in upstate New York. It revolves around a mysterious female drifter played by Alexandra Daddario (best known for playing Annabeth Chase in
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
). Daddario's drifter is on a mission to save her Imagine Dragon friends from a sinister, underground puppet-fighting ring. Lou Diamond Phillips (best known for his starring role in the 1987 movie
La Bamba
) also features.
"We read through a ton of scripts from really talented directors, and we came across one that stood out to us in particular, because it put into visuals the general theme of the song, which is kind of an empowering song about an awakening, but it did it in a way that was very different," Dan Reynolds told MTV News. "A lot of people probably see a post-apocalyptic world when they hear 'Radioactive,' understandably, but we wanted to deliver something that was maybe a little different from that ... a lot different from that."
Reynolds explained the song's meaning to MTV News: "'Radioactive,' to me, it's very masculine, powerful-sounding song, and the lyrics behind it, there's a lot of personal story behind it, but generally speaking, it's a song about having an awakening; kind of waking up one day and deciding to do something new, and see life in a fresh way," he said. "A lot of people hear it in a dark way, but, I think, without saying the word too many times, it's empowering, and so we wanted to display that in a way that the listener wouldn't see normally."
Reynolds has struggled most of his life with depression and ADD and anxiety issues. He explained to
that he penned this song "coming out of a pretty serious spell of depression and having a new awakening and a real vigor for life." He added: "That's the general thing where that song came from. There's more specifics to it, but that's the basic, general idea."
"Radioactive" has made the Top-10 in 12 countries and it's no accident: there are several songwriting techniques present that make this a surefire hit. The song is a natural fusion of multiple sub-genres, including Rock, Pop and Dubstep, all of which are prominent in the charts, but "Radioactive" is made particularly memorable by its simple and repetitious melody. The chord sequence rarely changes throughout the song, the verse and pre-chorus melodies are highly similar, and the "whoa-ohs" and chorus sections are virtually identical every time. But the song is kept interesting by the introduction of a new section every 14 seconds. In fact, each section of the song (besides the intro) is 14 seconds long, so we can see that the song is constantly surprising the listener whilst ingraining its melody through memorable repetitions of short phrases.
The chorus is particularly effective, with its surprising octave jump and its division into two hooks. The lyrics are noticeably much simpler, and even progress into sing-a-long "whoa-ohs," a staple of hit singles (see Katy Perry, Owl City, etc.,). This serves as an anthemic counterpoint to the more lyrically ambiguous verses, less typical of hit singles. The memorable chorus takes up nearly half the song, which is the average chorus content for the big hits of 2013.
The song perfectly balances repetition with diversity, and cryptic lyrics with a sing-a-long chorus to create a catchy hit that is also interesting enough to reward multiple listens.
The song climbed into the Hot 100's top five in its 42nd week on the chart, setting a record for the slowest ascent to the region in the chart's history. It eclipsed the 34-week ascent to the top five of Florida Georgia Line's "
" set just three weeks previously.
This was the most-streamed song in the USA during 2013 on Spotify.

The song had a slow climb on the Hot 100 but stuck around for 87 weeks, overtaking Jason Mraz's "
I'm Yours
" longevity record of 76 weeks on the chart. Reynolds told the Associated Press: "With our radio team, we were never like, 'This is the single! Push this to road!' It literally just started off on its own. We never wanted to skip steps. We always wanted to grow slowly and take our time with things."
Dan Reynolds recalled the story of the song to
magazine: "When I wrote Radioactive, we'd been a band for two and a half, maybe three years," he said. "We were at that point so many bands get to - where we're playing small clubs and filling them, but to break out at that level is a difficult thing. I was questioning my own career choice. I really wanted to have a family at some point and be able to support them, and still do what I love. So it was a difficult time. I'm a really up and down person; I've always struggled with depression."
"I was writing in the studio with Alex [da Kid, producer]," Reynolds continued. "We knew we wanted something that was heavy. I've always loved songs that present a beautiful and sensitive subject in a heavy way. So we came up with this heavy beat and instrumental that just felt like an awakening. It expressed a feeling that was happening with me, so I started to write the lyrics and the melody."
"In truth, the song is about becoming self-empowered and saying, 'I'm happy with who I am, happy with the choices I'm making,'" he added. "It's about sweating off all the dust and grime of self-doubt and judgment, and embracing who you are."
"Weird Al" Yankovic parodied this song as "Inactive," about the non-adventures of a housebound sloth who wakes up in "Cheeto dust" and has grown attached to the couch.

The cost of a first class stamp rose by almost a third after Ofcom, the postal regulator, gave Royal Mail the freedom to set its own prices.
The price of a second class stamp will rise from 36p to 50p on at the end of April, although these will be subject to price limits.
Consumer groups warned that next-day delivery would become the preserve of businesses and the wealthy.
Robert Hammond, director of postal policy and regulation at Consumer Focus, said: "For some customers there is a fine line between being willing to pay more and deciding to walk away from using the postal service."
He added that first-class mail will turn into a "premium service". He said: "If we want it we will have to pay a lot for it. A lot of people at the poorer end of our society will definitely be switching to second-class."
Ofcom said that it removed the price caps on first-class post to put Royal Mail on a more secure financial footing ahead of it being privatised in 2014.
Royal Mail announced an array of other price hikes. The cost of posting large letters will also increase from 75p to 90p for first class and from 58p to 69p for second class.
The cost of sending a recorded delivery will go up by a quarter from 77 pence to 95 pence, while mail redirection will increase by up to 15% to £47.
Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uswitch.com, said: "First-class post is going to become uneconomic. For most people it will be the writing on the wall for the services we have had."
"If first-class virtually disappear, then next day delivery will disappear and all of us will have a second class postal service."
The Forum for Private Business said the changes will lead to first-class post becoming unaffordable and will force businesses to rely on "far slower" second-class post.
"It will result in a postal system where the bulk of all post will eventually be sent second-class," it said.
Royal Mail defended the increases.
Moya Greene, the chief executive of Royal Mail, said she would have "avoided" raising prices if she could have. However she said that the postal service in the UK has been in "peril" for a number of years.
She refused to speculate on future price rises.
Asked whether £1 is too much for a stamp, she said: "I am not going to say what is or what is not too much. Circumstances change. I don't need to charge £1 now."
She said that compared to the price of "a single trip on a bus, or a chocolate bar, or the price of a newspaper" stamps are "clearly affordable".
Michelle Mitchell, charity director general at Age UK, the charity, said condemned the rises, particularly in second-class stamps.
"Not all older people have access to the internet and many rely on the post. The Royal Mail should let consumers know how long it will take for a second-class letter to arrive so they can plan accordingly," said Ms Mitchell.
Ms Robinson at Uswitch.com said: "For a long time we have been extremely fortunate with Royal Mail, but increasingly we are seeing a more directly-driven commercial approach."
Stuart McIntosh, Ofcom's group director of competition, said that the rise of the internet and mobile phones has caused "huge structural change" in the way people interact.
"If you were thinking about communicating with someone you're going to pick up the phone, you're going to send them a text message, you might send an email, you might send an instant message, you might tweet them. The last thing you are going to do is sit down and write them a letter."
The Government is preparing to privatize the service, which is likely to happen before the spring of 2014.

Kentucky farmers never cease to amaze me.
Despite a slow economic recovery and a late-summer drought, producers across the Commonwealth still were able to post another strong showing in farmgate cash receipts last year.
Kentucky farmers exceeded $4 billion in cash receipts in 2010 for the fifth straight year and the sixth year out of the past seven.
The best could be yet to come during the new year, according to economists from the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture who spoke at Kentucky Farm Bureau's annual statewide meeting in December in Louisville.
UK economists are projecting Kentucky farm cash receipts in 2010 will range between $4.4 and $4.7 billion, compared with $4.26 billion in 2009 and a record $4.71 billion in 2008. Cash receipts in 2011 could exceed $5 billion for the first time ever and may reach as high as $5.2 billion, according to UK, provided there is no adverse weather and the nation's economy continues to improve.
Kentucky net farm income in 2010, excluding government payments, was $1.3 billion. UK reported that strong exports, aided by a weak U.S. dollar, and a late surge in grain prices drove Kentucky cash receipts in 2010. Poultry was Kentucky's leading farm commodity for the second year in a row, followed by equine.
Beef cattle receipts were a distant third. For the third year in the past four, drought forced cattle producers across the Commonwealth to start feeding hay earlier than usual, increasing their production costs.
Beef supply tight
Tight beef supplies and continued improvement in the U.S. and world economies, which would greatly improve the demand for beef, are expected to cause livestock receipts to increase by $100 to $200 million in 2011, according to UK.
"The overall beef supply will also remain very tight and support slaughter cattle prices," the UK report stated. "Feed costs will ultimately determine how much of these strong prices will be enjoyed at the stocker and feeder cattle level. Calf prices will most likely improve into the spring and have the potential to exceed 2010 levels."
Improved market conditions for beef cattle is one of the reasons the U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting U.S. net farm income to increase 24 percent in 2010. "The balance sheet for ag is strong," the UK report noted, despite the weak economy overall.
Calf prices rallied early last year, spending much of the spring and summer in the $115-$120 range. Calf prices fell sharply last fall, but have still remained above 2009 levels.
Strong export demand supported feeder cattle prices, offsetting much of the negative effect from rising corn prices last fall. Spring feeder cattle futures, coupled with last fall's calf prices, are creating some attractive opportunities this winter for backgrounders right here in Kentucky to add pounds to the animals.
I also want to mention that I believe the success of the Kentucky Proud farm marketing program was a factor in pushing 2010 cash receipts higher. Retail sales of Kentucky Proud products exceeded $200 million last year.
Kentucky Proud and other diversification efforts are helping farmers keep going during a down economy. They also are helping many tobacco producers make a successful transition to other products. Tobacco now makes up less than 10 percent of Kentucky agricultural sales, compared with nearly 25 percent in the 1990s, according to UK.
Kentucky agriculture is one of the few sectors of the economy performing well during these tough times. Kentucky farmers have my admiration and utmost respect for their skill, toughness and resilience.
I urge them to keep up the good work this year as they forge ahead toward a mark that's never been reached — $5 billion in cash receipts.

Bentley is recalling certain Continental Flying Spurs for an issue where the sunroof can come off the car while driving, which "could be come a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash." 2007 to 2009 model years are affected.
Bentley had told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it was alerted to a potential issue based on information shared. A similar recall was conducted on 2007-2009 Audi A8s but it's not clear if they are directly related.
The full NHTSA release is below. Follow the source link to search if your VIN is affected.
Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Continental Flying Spur vehicles manufactured April 25, 2007 through October 31, 2008. The sunroof glass on the affected vehicles may not be properly secured to the sunroof frame. As a result, the sunroof glass may detach from the car while driving.
If the glass detaches from the sunroof frame it could be come a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will apply additional adhesive between the sunroof glass frame and sunroof glass panel, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in August 2016. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
