In this work we present the first large-scale demonstration of metal packaged fibre Bragg grating sensors developed to monitor prestress levels in prestressed concrete. To validate the technology, strain and temperature sensors were mounted on steel prestressing strands in concrete beams and stressed up to 60% of the ultimate tensile strength of the strand. We discuss the methods and calibration procedures used to fabricate and attach the temperature and strain sensors. The use of induction brazing for packaging the fibre Bragg gratings and welding the sensors to prestressing strands eliminates the use of epoxy, making the technique suitable for high-stress monitoring in an irradiated, harsh industrial environment. Initial results based on the first week of data after stressing the beams show the strain sensors are able to monitor prestress levels in ambient conditions.

We all felt sorry for the articulate young man whose apartment near Sandyrow was damaged by an 11th Night bonfire. He, sensibly, didn't want to be recognised so the interview was done off camera. He wanted to live in safety, he wanted compensation for the damage but above all he didn't want to annoy anyone or interfere with "cultural expression". These seem reasonable middle-class values and who could argue with them? His neighbour, a thirty-something woman, equally articulate, praised the Sandyrow area as "a brilliant place to live; on 11 months of the year". These upbeat young people see the future potential for Belfast and for the Sandyrow area which is probably why they bought and chose to live in these modern apartments. You could almost hear them saying that gentrification will be complete – and my asset improving in value – if only the natives would stop getting restless every July.
The MP for the area Emma Little-Pengelly was wonderfully reassuring suggesting something to the effect that insurance was merely a procedural matter and would, in some way, or by some means, pay for the damage. This reassurance was vital as the NIO had earlier in the day sharply rebuked any suggestion from residents they were responsible as they had been during the dark days of the Troubles. The middle-classes were in agreement the problem can be sorted out.
There was off course another bonfire related issue; the mysterious case of the missing pallets and the role of Belfast City Council. If there was a deal, there was a justifiable sense of betrayal among bonfire builders when this deal was not delivered. They were less articulate than the young apartment block residents but they got their message across. A Council car park was commandeered and nearby at an island of literary culture twelve Belfast Bicycles decommissioned; sorry perhaps that was just a coincidence.
So we got through another 11th Night in Belfast and can pretend for another 11 months at least that things are fine.
Jenny McCartney, originally from these shores, writing in the Spectator – a publication as far away culturally and geographically as you can get from Sandyrow – makes a number of insightful points about the bonfire culture. She believes that the Belfast Bonfire Culture has gone beyond a cultural expression to "…one of defiance and despair among working class Protestants who feel abandoned by the rest of the UK."
Boys and young men who would once be proud builders of World-class Ocean liners are now relegated to building bonfires. We know the level of social deprivation across Belfast is obscene generally and it is particularly significant among young protestant men. This is toxic to health and wellbeing and that's why this cohort in our society is likely to die 11 years before they should and are more likely live with a long-term condition such as; cancer, heart disease, diabetes and mental health problems.
They lack the right kind of leadership. With the exception of people like Dr John Kyle their politicians tend to treat them poorly and often with contempt; some arrogantly treat them as mere useful idiots. Both DUP and UU politicians have been generally silent on the matter of bonfires and flags. Indeed Jenny McCartney rightly criticises Emma Little-Pengelly for responding limply to concerns about flag flying in shared housing estates.

text: Shoulders with rotator cuff tears (RCT) tears are associated with significantly larger critical shoulder angles (CSA) (RCT CSA = 38.2 °) than shoulders without RCT (CSA = 32.9 °). We hypothesized that larger CSAs increase the ratio of glenohumeral joint shear to joint compression forces, requiring substantially increased compensatory supraspinatus loads to stabilize the arm in abduction. A previously established 3D finite element (FE) model was used. Two acromion shapes mimicked the mean CSA of 38.2 ° found in patients with RCT and that of a normal CSA (32.9 °). In a first step the moment arms for each muscle segment were obtained for 21 different thoracohumeral abduction angles to simulate a quasi-static abduction in the scapular plane. In a second step, the muscle forces were calculated by minimizing the range of muscle stresses able to compensate an external joint moment caused by the arm weight. If the joint became unstable, additional force was applied by the rotator cuff muscles to restore joint stability. The model showed a higher joint shear to joint compressive force for the RCT CSA (38.2 °) for thoracohumeral abduction angles between 40 and 90 degrees with a peak difference of 23% at 50 degrees of abduction. To achieve stability in this case additional rotator cuff forces exceeding physiological values were required. Our results document that a higher CSA tends to destabilize the glenohumeral joint such that higher than normal supraspinatus forces are required to maintain modeled stability during active abduction. This lends strong support to the concept that a high CSA can induce supraspinatus (SSP) overload. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Green Beans and New Potatoes
Green Beans and New Potatoes
Frozen green beans and potatoes are boiled in a pot with onion and salt to make an easy side dish for dinner.
- 1 (12-ounces) bag frozen green beans
- 6 small red potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Wash potatoes and onion. Cut potatoes into large chunks. Chop onion.
- Add all ingredients to a large stock pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat.
- Simmer until green beans and potatoes are tender.
Smart Shopping Tips
- Frozen fruits and vegetable are always in season and often a very good deal. Picked at the peak of flavor and flash frozen, the nutrition content easily rivals fresh, too.
- This dish could also be made with fresh green beans if preferred.
- Add a clove of garlic for more flavor.
- For a flavor boost, try drizzling a light vinaigrette you might have on hand. If you don't have one, try making one with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice, and 1/2 a cup of olive or canola oil. Add any other herbs you enjoy.

|I live in an apartment and can only grow plants in containers. I recently purchased a rose and it is still in its original pot. Can I keep it in this container permanently? Will it overwinter OK? It is on an open porch somewhat protected from the weather. How should I care for it now and during the winter?
|You should probably transplant the rose from its nursery pot into a larger container. The small pot and minimal soil volume will dry out quickly and, come winter, will be too susceptible to freezing and thawing. Use a planter that is at least one size larger than the one you have now, and preferably at least 12 inches across and 12 inches deep. Use a purchased potting mix; you can add some bagged compost to the mix at planting time if you like.
Come fall, get a piece of chicken wire, form a cylinder around the rose canes, and fill the chicken wire with straw or dried leaves. This will help insulate the branches from the cold. Water the plant thoroughly once before adding this protection, then it should be fine if it is in a protected spot out of direct sun. You might check the soil occasionally to be sure it hasn't dried out.

Deeper Commentary
2Ch 35:1 Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they
killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month-
Josiah urged the people to keep this (2 Kings 23:21) despite having been told in 2 Chron. 34:25 that the people would indeed to judged for their sons. He had sought to change this by appealing for all the people to enter covenant with Yahweh from their hearts (2 Chron. 34:30). And he seeks to confirm this by holding a huge Passover, where he provided the people with the sacrifices.
2Ch 35:2 He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh-
This encouragement may have been necessary because they themselves were not so enthusiastic; for as noted on :3, it was their servants the Levites who were teaching Israel, when the priests ought to have been doing so.
2Ch 35:3 He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God and His people Israel-
The Levites here are distinguished from the priests (:2). But it was the duty of the priests to teach (2 Chron. 15:3; Mal. 2:7), but we sense the priesthood was not solidly behind the reforms; although their servants the Levites were. This is similar to how the situation was at the time of Hezekiah's reforms (2 Chron. 29:34), and it explains why all these reforms were so quickly undone; for the priesthood and people were always still hankering after idols.
We note that the ark had been carried around on their shoulders for some time, and the temple was therefore devoid of the supreme symbol of God's presence. The religion of Judah had therefore been hollow for quite some time. Perhaps the ark had been removed from the temple by Manasseh, or by faithful priests who feared he would destroy it or abuse it.
2Ch 35:4 Prepare yourselves after your fathers' houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son-
These writings had been preserved for some centuries, and had presumably been copied out by the scribes. But they had to be urged all the time by Josiah to act in a way which ought to have been natural for them if they from their hearts were really obedient and eager for reformation (see on :3).
2Ch 35:5 Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a father's house of the Levites-
"The children of the people" is s.w. "the common people" (2 Kings 23:6). The idea is that each father's house of the common people was assigned a group of Levites to help them in the preparation of the Passover sacrifices. And we noted in :3 that the Levites had at this time replaced the priests as the teachers, so they presumably also taught them what the law of Moses said about the Passover.
2Ch 35:6 Kill the Passover and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses-
The Levites were to perceive the common people of Israel as their "brothers" (:5) which is the most effective way of teaching (:3) and spiritually helping people, rather than assuming a position of high authority over them.
2Ch 35:7 Josiah gave to the children of the people of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls. These were of the king's substance-
The people were intended to bring their own Passover lambs, but they hadn't. And Josiah was hoping that he could bring the hearts of the people back to Yahweh (see on 2 Chron. 34:30) so that the threatened judgment upon them would be revoked. We recall that Josiah himself had been assured of his personal acceptability with God, and that he would not see judgment come in his days. Unlike Hezekiah, he didn't shrug at the fate of his people. He of his own substance gave them huge numbers of animals in order that they would each have something personal to offer, in accordance with the law (:6). But again, this was a case of a reformer seeking to impose his vision upon the masses, and it ultimately didn't work. For they soon returned to idolatry and were judged for that. Hezekiah likewise had given the people the offerings they themselves ought to have brought (2 Chron. 30:24) and that too didn't ultimately work out.
2Ch 35:8 His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God's house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle-
Hilkiah is well attested as the one who found the lost book of the law (2 Kings 22:8), helped in Josiah's reforms (2 Kings 22:14-20) and arranged the great Passover observance of 2 Chron. 35:1-19. But Hilkiah did all this despite being the son of a High Priest called Shallum (1 Chron. 6:12,13), whose name can mean 'bribe' (s.w. Mic. 7:3 about the corruption of the priesthood). Perhaps this was what he was known for. But his son / descendant rose above that bad background, as we can. "For a freewill offering" may be better as AV "freely", that is these offerings were given willingly and freely.
2Ch 35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle-
This was a major act of generosity, reflecting Hezekiah's desire to as it were make the people acceptable to God by each having something to offer. But sacrifice is ultimately a very personal thing and cannot be forced, nor done using other people as a proxy.
2Ch 35:10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king's commandment-
This was all done according to the commandment of God through Moses (:6). Josiah was careful that his commandments exactly reflected God's. He was sincerely doing all he could to make the people acceptable to God through strict obedience. But it didn't ultimately work because their hearts were untouched and soon returned to idolatry.
2Ch 35:11 They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them-
As noted on :10,13 Josiah was being careful to follow the absolute letter of the law.
2Ch 35:12 They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So they did with the cattle-
As explained on :5, the animals were carefully given to the common people to offer. But those huge numbers of sacrifices, put into the hands of people to offer, was not the spirit of the law. God had made it clear that He didn't delight in huge numbers of offerings, but rather sought humble, contrite hearts. Just as David had been taught when faced with death over his sins with Bathsheba. But the hearts of the people were apparently unmoved at this time. It was all the externality of mere ritualism.
2Ch 35:13 They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the holy offerings in pots, in caldrons and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people-
"According to the ordinance" reflects the continued stress on the fact they were doing all they could to be obedient to the letter of the law (see on :10). But as noted on :12, what was required was broken hearts, and not rivers of blood and mounds of slain animals. What was offered using pots was the boiled flesh of the peace offerings, offered on the days of unleavened bread (Lev. 23:4-8). We get the impression of hyper vigilance to obey the letter of the law; although their hearts were still far from God, and they had not even brought their own Passover sacrifices.
2Ch 35:14 Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron-
The priests themselves kept the Passover, despite being so busy, although they needed the help of the Levites to do it. Again we have the impression of careful, all out effort to obey every letter of the law about the Passover. We may take the lesson that we are not to be so caught up with serving others that we neglect personal obedience. But the stronger lesson is that all this legalistic obedience didn't succeed, as Josiah hoped it would, in averting the judgment coming upon the people. Because their hearts were not changed.
2Ch 35:15 The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's prophet. The porters were at every gate: they didn't need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them-
Jeduthun is called Ethan in 1 Chron. 6:44. As with priests explained on :14, the singers also kept the Passover because the Levites prepared it for them. But we wonder whether this was not a departure from the letter of the law, for each family were to prepare their Passover lamb personally and not have others doing it for them. So in the intense effort to obey the letter of the law (see on :14), they still had to fall back upon keeping the spirit of it.
2Ch 35:16 So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah-
"So the service... was prepared / set in order" is a phrase used only of the time of Hezekiah's reformation (2 Chron. 29:35) and of that of Josiah (2 Chron. 35:10,15,16). I suggested on 2 Chron. 29:17 ,18 that this term was used in the context of Hezekiah keeping a kind of Passover. It seems Josiah was inspired by the record of Hezekiah's reformation, and sought to follow it. Just as we too in our own contexts are to be inspired by the spirit of these reformers.
2Ch 35:17 The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days-
The number of sacrificial lambs was huge. If each extended family numbered 13 people, there would have been over half a million people present. But that is unrealistic. More like, each head of family offered more than one Passover lamb, in a attempt to cover families not present. It was Josiah's attempt at as it were impressing God by the number of animals offered, and to somehow cleanse all Israel. But he failed to appreciate that numbers of sacrifices were not impressive to God, and He instead was searching for broken hearts as David's was. And there is no mention of any appeal to the hearts of the people.
2Ch 35:18 There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem-
This Passover was unique both in terms of numbers of offerings, and in the strict obedience to all the legislation about it. We note the repeated treatment of "the inhabitants of Jerusalem" as a separate group. And yet Jeremiah, who was the contemporary prophet, specifically criticizes this group above all as being so far from Yahweh in their hearts. And this was the critical dimension which was not addressed by all this ritualistic obedience.
2Ch 35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept-
We have no record of what Josiah did in the last 13 years of his reign (2 Chron. 34:1), apart from the note we will now have about how he died in disobedience to God's word. Perhaps this was the end point of a spiritual slip in that period. Tragically, so many of the kings started well and slipped at the end; truly a warning to us. We would rather hope to read that Judah continued to keep Passovers after this one, but there is no record of that. See on :20.
2Ch 35:20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him-
"After all this" may suggest that despite all this external obedience, 13 years later, Josiah came to his end in unfaithfulness to God's word, despite all his zeal to so carefully obey every part of the rituals commanded by Moses.
2Ch 35:21 But he sent ambassadors to him saying, What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware and know that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you-
God does use Gentiles to perform His purpose, and even they often get a sense of this, without themselves believing.
2Ch 35:22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn't listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo-
Going into battle disguised is exactly what Ahab did (2 Chron. 18:29), and was slain doing it- having also defied God's prophetic word to do so. See on :23. Josiah totally failed to hear God's word at this point, both from the historical precedents and the explicit prophecy given to him. The valley of Megiddo, and mourning in it (:24), will have an equivalent in the latter days (Zech. 12:10). Josiah therefore seems to represent a disobedient Israel, who will be finally saved by grace.
2Ch 35:23 The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!-
Josiah must have seen the similarities with the death of Ahab, also slain by archers in his chariot (2 Chron. 18:33). He died in the same way as Ahab because he too had refused to accept God's prophetic word, despite previously having been so sensitive to it. We naturally wonder whether Josiah will be saved, despite dying in sin, or at best, at a very low point spiritually. The overall spirit of his life was perhaps acceptable with God (2 Chron. 34:2), despite this failure at the end. This may help us more positively hope for those who are weak at the end of their lives, such as those believers who take their own lives.
2Ch 35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah-
Josiah died in battle, not in peace (2 Chron. 35:22-24). Yet he had been promised to be gathered to his grave in peace (2 Chron. 34:28). Here we have an example of God making a statement about the future which is conditional upon human behaviour. Thus He stated that Nineveh would be destroyed in 40 days; but it wasn't, because they repented. There is a gap between the pronouncement and its fulfilment, and in that gap our behaviour can change the outcome. We too must waste so many potential futures.
2Ch 35:25 Jeremiah lamented for Josiah. All the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel. These are written in the lamentations-
The timing of Josiah's reformation (2 Chron. 34:3) coincides with the prophecies of Jer. 2,3; he heard them, and responded. Hence Jeremiah wept when Josiah died, remembering how as a teenager, Josiah had heard his prophecies and immediately responded to them.
2Ch 35:26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh-
Josiah died in spiritual weakness and at a point of disobedience to God's word (2 Chron. 35:20-24). The rubric 'He did what was right...' used about him (2 Chron. 34:2) is found even of kings who clearly departed from Yahweh. The truly righteous ones such as Jehoshaphat have a clause added to their summary, saying that they had followed Yahweh in their hearts. But this is lacking in the case of Josiah. We note too that he raised evil sons. And so we wonder whether the record is acknowledging the good works which he did at some points in his life, and it here concludes with this too. But there is a notable absence of any statement to the intent that he was judged as having a heart right with God. And the state of the heart was and is the critical indicator in God's final judgment of men.
2Ch 35:27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah-
As discussed on :26, this puts huge emphasis upon his works rather than the state of his heart. As discussed on 2 Chron. 33:18, the "book of the kings" apparently included Manasseh's prayer, which is not found in our books of Kings; and so the book referred to here may not be that which we have in our Bibles.

Greatest Halloween Ever
Tricks and Treats
If you are the competitive type you might wonder how you can have the greatest Halloween party ever and beat out all your friends and neighbors. You might want to dazzle your guests with special effects, or scare the wits out of them with creepy creatures. So ditch those lame skeleton decals and read this lens. This is the one stop shop for all you girls and ghouls to get your Halloween how to's. Fall is a time to be to fun and different and with just a little help you will leave them screaming for more.
Here's to a haunted Halloween that will help all your dreams, I mean nightmares come true.
Here is my hideous Zombie brain doctor drawing. I drew all the drawings in this article and took all the pictures, I did not make the youtube clips, I don't do that.
Halloween Invitations
I love Martha Stewart's Mad Scientist Skeleton Invitations. I know Martha Stewart is a mad crazy diva, but her invitations are mega cool looking. Martha has a ton of great looking invites, but they are a bit pricey and the truth is there are a hundreds of ways to invite people to parties.
You can print invites on old looking parchment paper like the picture I took of my regency England style writing set. You can aged looking paper burned to look like an old pirate's map, you could invite people by a well crafted e-mail or even by word of mouth. Whatever invites you choose, make sure they fit you and the party you are putting together.
Haunted House and Yard
Setting the Mood starts before they even get out of their cars. Set up cobwebs, gravestones and a coffin fogger. Light your gravestones from behind. There are gravestones you can stick directly into the ground or you can use the plain kind and use thin wood or metal rods to stick half way into the gravestone and then into the ground. Torches can line the outside of your graveyard for the best mood lighting. Don't forget your pumpkins and Jack-o-lanterns, these are a classic that screams Halloween.
A coffin fogger will help fill your yard with fog and smoke and give your lawn an eerie tone. You can also add more smoke machines and a strobe light machine to complete your very creepy yard.
A great way to get your guests in the mood to party is to have them go through a haunted house before they step into your actual Halloween bash. This could be a haunted house that takes up half your house or it could be in just a of couple rooms, it just has to be cool enough to keep your friends talking. You might want to enlist a couple of friends or a family member to grab your guest right before they reach your party to really get their blood pumping.
Remember to have another entrance for people who are in ill heath or are going to have a baby. A women going into labor will get you talked about in all the wrong ways.
If you don't want to go through the trouble of putting together a maned haunted house, you can find a good hiding place in your front room and frighting your friends as they walk in.
You should be the first thing they see when they come in so you have to throw yourself into your costume and create something that is truly unique.
To keep things easy most of the products featured in this lens will be under the module that they are featured in.
I had a mythbuster themed party for my sister's birthday party that I threw her. I bought fake moustaches, mentos, pop rocks and diet soda to play with in the backyard.

Cool Halloween Make-Up For The Girls
YouTube Make-Up
These make-up YouTube how to's are a mix of magical and pretty to gross and scary. I hope these help you come up with the look that is perfect for you.
Make-up or Mask
Monster make-up and masks. Mask though awesomely scary and creepy can be hard to wear all night long. Make-up is slightly better and if you're good at it you can achieve a fantastic look with it, but you may have to freshen up your monster make-up throughout the night, depending on what you use. Though monster make-up tends to stay on better than women's facial make-up, however it is greased based and not great for your skin.
If you get an itchy face like myself, go with the mask. Mask are removable and if you scratch your made-up face you might destroy the look.
This is my drawing of a Zombie.
Now for Decor
Pair down your regular clutter, family photos and anything else that doesn't fit the theme of the party.
Cover all your way to modern pieces of furniture with white sheets, to give your house a feeling that no one has lived there for years. Places silver candlestick holders with long wax candles, even when unlit they give a ghostly feel.
Old portraits even if they are cheap prints can look creepy in simulated candlelight. Some paintings you might want to hang crookedly, this will give the feeling that spirits aren't happy.
Creepy sounds and scary music can carry that feeling throughout your event.
You can glue a spider to the back of a toilet paper roll, you will only scare one person this way, just make sure you don't forget and scare yourself instead.
This is my drawing of a mermaid.
This is my personal recipe, whenever anyone's birthday rolls around I'm asked to make this icing. I always use rosewater which gives my cakes and cupcakes a Regency England flare, you may have to go to a health food store to find this.
You can add food coloring and make orange flavored or pumpkin flavored cupcakes with orange icing on top, stick a thick chocolate stick in top or a pretzel stick and you have a pumpkin shaped cupcake.
You can make these mummy cupcakes below, leave out some white icing when you do this. Ice the cupcakes with a thin layer of white and then add green to the rest. Put the green in an icing bag and use the flat icing decorating tip to create this mummy effect. Use any sort of round candies that you like for the eyes.
Cook Time
Prep Time:
Total Time:
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar (powered sugar)
- ½ cup shortening
- 5 tablespoons of milk or (pasteurized egg whites)
- 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla extract (or half a teaspoon Almond)
- 1 teaspoon rosewater (optional) for the regency icing
- You may have to double or triple the recipe depending on what you are icing. Take note that I've had too make more because it was to irresistible and I couldn't help but sneak a spoonful or three.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer on low to med speed to mix the shortening, extracts and the milk (or egg whites) mix for 3-5 minutes before adding the other 2 cups of confectioners' sugar. Mix for another 3-5 minutes. You may add a bit more confectioners' sugar if it is too soft and mix for another 3-5 minutes. If it is too stiff you can add a bit of water or more milk and mix it again. Be sure to refrigerate especially if you're going the classic route and using egg whites.
- You can try a bit of the icing to taste, but resist the urge to add more extract until it has been in the refrigerator for at least a few hours. The shortening tends to cover the flavor with it's greasy texture, but after a few hours it will lighten up and leave the natural favor of your icing. I've made a few icings a little too strong before I realized this.
Yummy Not Frightful
You don't have to make crazy cool treats like this.
Now I will tell you about what I do. I make homemade Betty Crocker sugar cookies and using Halloween cookie cutters I cut out little spooky shapes and ice them in fancy colors like orange, black and purple. I ice cupcakes and put new plastic spiders on top. The most important thing at least for any youngsters is that I take a huge plastic cauldron and fill it with candy. My guest always fight over that bowl like it's the holy grail and if anyone leaves hungry it's their fault.
You can take everyday treats and make them into something new. You can buy a chocolate cake and cover it in gummy warms and other candied body parts. You can take Chex Mix and mix in some candy corn. You could decide you want all your food orange and eat yummy orange cupcakes and cheese puffs all night, remember it is all up to you.
Punch and Blood
To give your actual party a royal feel, buy lots of wine glasses. This doesn't have to break the bank. The Dollar Tree sells wine glasses that are made in America and everything there is never over a dollar.
Take a large plastic punch bowl and then place a smaller punch bowl inside of it. Fill the smaller with soda or punch and put dry ice in the larger bowl around it using tongs (do not touch it your bare hands). You don't want to put it directly in the punch, which I've done when I was young and stupid. All you have to do to activate the dry ice is pure warm water over it. This will give your kitchen or living room the feeling of a mad scientist 's layer. You can add as much dry ice as you like, adding more as the night goes on.
As for the wine glasses you can buy sparkling red wine and make blood labels for them. You can download the labels here http://www.booityourself.com/BooItYourself2/
There is a youtube clip to show you everything you can make.
You can fill new "Latex Free" (remember we don't want people being rushed to the hospital at your party) rubber gloves with red fruit punch or water with red food coloring. Tie them off and place them in the freezer, after they are frozen take them out of the glove shell and place them inside your bunch bowl.
Th last drink idea is warm apple cider. Gently warm apple cider in a large pot. Cook it to a boil, have cinnimine sticks and nutmeg on hand for those who like it. You can also cook it in a crock pot for six to eight hours, which will make your entire house smell like cooked apples.
This is full of our favorite Halloween color.
Science and Halloween
You may not know this, but all the ghost and ghouls in the world can be beat by a tad bit of science. You can take tonic water and make ice cubes out of them and place them in water or clear soda and under a black light the ice cubes will glow.
I can't tell you how to do everything somethings need to be shown, seeing is believing. These youtube experiments by my favorite youtube scientist guy will drive you and your guest wild. These tricks of the trade will wow adults and children alike. Some of them are simple and some of them are more intense.

Despite exit from A-10 Fordham deserved NIT with 17 wins
By Rich Mancuso
They did not exit off the Barclays Center court with their heads down, and there was no reason why the Fordham men's basketball team should feel that their season is over after a first round loss to 9th seed Richmond Thursday afternoon in the Atlantic 10 Championship.
It's a simple equation: With 17 wins and guided by first year coach Jeff Neubauer,Fordham is deserving of a post season NIT bid or accepting an invitation from two of the other tournaments that are not as significant as the NIT. One of those, the College Invitational is also ideal, but the NIT, which is not as prestigious but with longevity over the NCAA Tournament, would be just as good.
It wasn't a long waiting game for the Rams, but certainly a 17-win season for a New York City college basketball teams does deserve to continue and build on to next year and instead of the NIT, Fordham will host a first round CIT Tournament game against Boston University Wednesday night up in the Bronx.
The seedings and other schools for the 32-team CIT will be determined Sunday evening,and regardless Fordham will take it and say it is a step forward. It will be the first postseason game for Fordham since 1992 when they won the Patriot League championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
"I think it would be a good step for Fordham at this point, and that's something that will play out here over the next few days," Neubauer said about his 8th seed Rams that gave the Spiders a game in a 70-55 loss. "
"Our team is giving great effort, and they've really played together and gotten better. There's certain times I think when you have a team that has a winning record that you're not interested in continuing to play, but our group is so close and they're so excited about basketball that I do think it would be a good idea."
And with exception of Seton Hall, playing across the river at Madison Square Garden in the Big East Tournament, and perhaps Iona, winners of the MAAC title that gets an automatic bid to the NCAA "March Madness' Big Dance, Fordham would be a reputable and good pick to host at NIT game at the legendary Rose Hill Gymnasium next week.
However, that is up to the committee to decide and for years Fordham always had friends on that panel. Times and things have changed and politics here gets thrown out the window.
What is important to consider is that Fordham with a 17-13 record, and with New York City college basketball roots that go a long way, deserved to be one of those 32 teams that goes on and represents New York in the NIT Tournament.
However, a first round loss in the A-10 Tournament did not help their cause.
Neubauer may not have that New York persona, but who cares. In less than a year, he has turned around a struggling college basketball program that won 10-games last year and saw another coaching change. The team responded, and the old gym up at Rose Hill was filled to the rafters numerous times that was so reminiscent of those Fordham teams that used to get an NCAA bid or represented New York many times in the NIT Tournament.
"Obviously I'm from New York. It's fun to play here in New York, but it's even better to win," said the senior Ryan Rhoomes who turned around his game under Neubauer.he became one of the top players in the conference and wants the season to continue even though it's not going to the NCAA Tournament.
"If you get a win, it obviously feels a little better," Rhoomes said, "but it's fun playing in front of my home," said the resident of South Jamaica in Queens. He finished with another double-double with 18 points and 18 rebounds.
There was emotion, and every reason to say what it means to continue. And the Fordham University community of alumni and fans deserve to see the season continue. The right step is a bid to that prestigious NIT Tournament where numerous banners hang from the rafters up at Rose Hill that represent the Fordham history and the NIT.
Said Rhoomes: "Wish I had three more years like this. But I give all the praise and all the credit to Coach Neubauer, Coach Crawford (assistant), and my teammates for helping me making me the player that I am right now."
And for the Fordham Rams as a whole that was deserving of another game or more. And hosting an NIT game up at Rose Hill would have been in the best interest for the NIT and New York City college basketball.
But on to the CIT and that is progress.

No – and he is dead. Show some respect.
I love movies. I love everything about them – except for Anne Hathaway. She is the worst. But my very favorite kinds of movies are the kind that are made by TV Channels (SyFy Original Movies, Lifetime Original Movies) and premiered on said channels to the kind of depressing fanfare that makes me proud to be an American.
THESE are the kinds of movies I will be reviewing. And I will almost certainly be reviewing them while under the influence of alcohol. Because you wouldn't make me watch "Camel Spiders" sober, would you? That's mean. You're mean.

Governor's Hutchinson's tax cut for low-income earners advanced on a voice vote in the Senate Revenue and Tax committee Wednesday at the state Capitol.
The $50 million tax cut is projected to benefit the 657,000 Arkansans who earn less than $21,000 a year. The bill also creates a legislative task force on tax reform.
Senate Majority Leader Jim Hendren (R-Gravette), the bill's lead sponsor, called it "a conservative tax cut."
"The value of having the tax policy set at the front of the session [is] now you know what you can build your budget on," Hendren said. "I really do think we're going to lay those bricks here and then we'll be good to go."
Hendren filed an amendment Wednesday to add more co-sponsors to the bill. Monday is the earliest the measure could be voted on in the Senate, he said.
House Majority Leader Matthew Pitsch (R-Fort Smith), the lead sponsor of the same tax cut bill in the House, said he plans on presenting the governor's $50 million tax cut proposal in the House Revenue and Tax Committee on Thursday.
Rep. Warwick Sabin (D-Little Rock) said he would also present his low-income tax relief bill in the House Revenue and Tax Committee on Thursday. Sabin's bill is an alternative to the governor's plan. It would establish an Earned Income Tax Credit based on an individual's income.
"I think that's yet to be determined which one House members think is better, so we'll put them both out there," Pitsch said.
Sen. Jake Files (R-Fort Smith), chairman of the Senate Revenue and Tax Committee, said he wants to have some debate on the EITC.
"I think it's better policy, personally," he said, "but I understand both sides of it."
Files is the lead sponsor of the EITC bill in the Senate. He also has been added as a co-sponsor to the $50 million tax cut bill filed by Hendren.
Files said if the EITC bill were to pass, it would replace the governor's proposed tax cut if it had already passed.
According to legislative impact statements released by the Department of Finance and Administration, the governor's tax plan would reduce general revenue by $25.25 million in FY2019 and by $50.5 million in FY2020. Sabin's EITC plan would reduce general revenue by $40 million in FY2018, which means over the long run it would cost the state less, but it would impact general revenue more steeply, sooner.
"Not only is this a more effective way to move people out of poverty, incentivize work, reduce dependence on social services and stimulate the economy, but it's also $10 million cheaper," Sabin said.
Hendren said he doesn't think it's likely that Sabin's bill will replace the governor's plan.
"I think more people are more comfortable with [the governor's] approach," Hendren said.

What noisy creature consumes only liquids, lives by safety in numbers, and can enhance CO2 production in streams?
The periodical cicada!
The Periodical Cicadas' 15 Minutes of Fame
You may have noticed that the news cycle has recently been dominated by stories about cicadas as some regions in North America excitedly await the arrival of the Brood X cicadas after 17 years. Over the past couple of weeks, I eagerly scoured as many online articles as I could to learn more about this incredible natural phenomenon.
Despite the excitement that the online world seemed to share about the periodical cicadas, I couldn't help noticing that a similar storyline was being circulated. It goes something like this: periodical cicadas remain underground for 13-17 years before emerging for a single season to mate and reproduce. They simultaneously create a cacophony or chorus (depending on the listener's opinion) of mating calls that can range from 80 to over 100 decibels in volume. For comparison, this is similar to the volume range of a food blender, a chainsaw, or a motorcycle!
I felt like something was missing; as if the cicadas deserved a highlight that better encompassed the lives of these tiny yet somewhat mysterious living beings. I was entranced by these creatures and intrigued to know more. Do you feel the same way? Let's embark upon this journey together to learn more about the incredible periodical cicada!
Before we begin, let's quickly review the basics of the periodical cicada life cycle:Here!
Insect and… secret keeper?
One of the most puzzling mysteries surrounding the periodical cicada is why they wait to emerge from their underground sojourn for 13-17 years. Why are these numbers so steadfast and significant for the periodical cicada?
While there isn't a concrete explanation for why periodical cicadas emerge after 13-17 years, several theories give us insight into this phenomenon. For example, one theory is that cicadas have an internal clock programmed for that amount of time, and another theory is that cicadas measure time through changes in the composition of sap and other fluids they consume from tree roots and other organic matter underground.
Change Agents That Can Outsmart Predators
A wide variety of animal species are predators to the cicadas. As a result, the periodical cicadas purposefully emerge as a group over just a few weeks, inundating their location and overwhelming potential predators. This strategy is called predator satiation, and it enables each brood to maintain enough living members to mate and reproduce without being over-consumed by another species. In other words, a lone cicada is easy prey, but there is safety in numbers!
Not only do periodical cicadas make quite the appearance on land, but they have also been found to make quite a stir in stream ecosystems as well! A 2008 research study found that community respiration (the production of CO2 in an ecosystem) increased with the arrival of periodical cicadas. The findings also state that cicada detritus is a much-needed component in the stream ecosystem that fuels other species, such as microbes and invertebrates, with nutrients. Periodical cicadas certainly make a big splash in stream ecosystems!
Effects of Human Activities
Once their waiting period is over, periodical cicadas rely on a specific ground temperature to signal when it is time to emerge from their seclusion underground. However, climate change and human activity, such as pesticide use and building development, could be affecting this process. As global warming continues along the current trajectory, ground temperatures are warming earlier and earlier in the spring season, potentially setting the emergence dates for periodical cicadas off-kilter, even by several years.
Luckily, entomologists are on the case, studying global warming trends and beginning to research how this could (and may already be) impacting cicadas. And, with the help of supporters like you, organizations like Bio4Climate are working with communities to further ecological restoration efforts and advocate for policies that will benefit species like the cicada long-term.

The European Union is likely to renew sanctions Monday against individuals and companies linked to the Belarussian government for another year because Minsk has not improved its civil rights record, an EU official and diplomats said.
Sanctions are part of a policy the EU calls "critical engagement" with the government of President Alexander Lukashenko, an attempt to push it to implement reforms.
The European Union now has visa bans and asset freezes on 243 individuals and 32 companies due to their association with Lukashenko's government.

Earlier this year Kopernik's Last Mile Consulting team traveled to the provinces of Papua, West Papua, and West Kalimantan to gain firsthand insights into the needs and challenges of smallholder farmers in these remote areas.
Smallholder farmers play an important part in the agricultural value chain and make up more than half the total farmer households in Indonesia. In the three provinces studied, the agricultural sector employs more than 50% of the total labor force1, yet smallholder farmers still make a modest living with an average monthly income of only USD752. Farming activity in these provinces is still heavily reliant on manual labor with minimal use of agricultural machinery.
The team interviewed 26 farmers of 7 commodities that are commonly traded in the area to estimate the revenue value and labor intensity of producing each commodity. What we found was that the return per hour of labor greatly varied across the commodities. For example, an hour spent on growing and harvesting palm yielded over 250% more income than one hour spent on cultivating cacao.3
The farmers responded to these discrepancies by switching from rubber to palm cultivation (two popular commodities in West Kalimantan) or growing multiple commodities. Farmers also reported that income from their harvest was typically just enough to cover the cost of production, causing many to supplement their farming income with other income generating activities.
As one of our responses to these findings, Kopernik is planning to test two types of interventions to increase income and labor efficiency through greater access to: i) appropriate harvesting, post-harvest processing and storage technology and ii) information and knowledge sharing on improved cultivation practices, disease prevention, alternative commodity options, and new markets. Stay tuned for the full Unmet Needs Report and our upcoming experimentation projects!

3 The income only considers revenues before costs and therefore the net profits might differ.
4 Minimum wage is provided for reference only. Even though the hourly income for all but one commodity exceeded minimum wage for that area, it doesn't mean that the net profit does as well.

The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food
Waterman, Tim and Zeunert, Joshua (eds.) (2018) The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food. Routledge, Abingdon and New York. ISBN 978-1138125155Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Since the turn of the millennium, there has been a burgeoning interest in, and literature of, both landscape studies and food studies. Landscape describes places as relationships and processes. Landscapes create people's identities and guide their actions and their preferences, while at the same time are shaped by the actions and forces of people. Food, as currency, medium, and sustenance, is a fundamental part of those landscape relationships.
This volume brings together over fifty contributors from around the world in forty profoundly interdisciplinary chapters. Chapter authors represent an astonishing range of disciplines, from agronomy, anthropology, archaeology, conservation, countryside management, cultural studies, ecology, ethics, geography, heritage studies, landscape architecture, landscape management and planning, literature, urban design and architecture. Both food studies and landscape studies defy comprehension from the perspective of a single discipline, and thus such a range is both necessary and enriching.
The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is intended as a first port of call for scholars and researchers seeking to undertake new work at the many intersections of landscape and food. Each chapter provides an authoritative overview, a broad range of pertinent readings and references, and seeks to identify areas where new research is needed―though these may also be identified in the many fertile areas in which subjects and chapters overlap within the book.

text: The DLPFC is the topmost part of the PFC and is considered to have overall management of cognitive processes such as planning, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. This is an area specialising in problem solving and how to direct and maintain attention to a task. When we are focused on what is happening now, our working memory is engaged with the DLPFC and connecting with the hippocampus for the retrieval and consolidation of long-term explicit memories. A dysfunction in this area may lead to problems with working memory, processing in the hippocampus, and long-term memory, as well as the integration of verbal expression with emotions. Such memory deficits have been associated with PTSD due to an underactive left DLPFC. Other DLPFC deficits can manifest as a lack of spontaneity and affect (flat rather than negative), and attention deficit—due to an inability to maintain sufficient attention to see a task through to completion. In obsessive–compulsive disorder (which we will consider separately in a later section the DLPFC plays an important role in strengthening attentional skills to momentarily break the compulsion circuit and give the orbitofrontal cortex a chance to inhibit the runaway activation of the amygdala. As with many brain regions, there are significant hemispherical differences within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the left DLPFC being associated with approach behaviours and the right with more avoidant behaviours

Replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 1.
Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.imgor ./ubuntu.dmg).
- Using /dev/rdisk instead of /dev/disk may be faster
- If you see the error dd: Invalid number '1m', you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M

Our voters know what they want. They don't want fancy flavors. They don't want fancy shapes, like Bugle shapes or whatever the hell Fritos are. They certainly don't want their chips to come in a tube. They want chips…and that's what they got. Lays and Doritos will spend the next 11 months wondering where they went wrong. Enjoy your day in the sun, Cape Cod and Kettle, Ruffles and Tostitos, because the Final Four fast approaches, and only one can be crowned the ChampionChip. Here are the results of the Elite Ate:
1) Doritos Cool Ranch vs. 3) Cape Cod Original
Cape Cod Original wins 17-16
Cape Cod threw down the blood-stained gauntlet and said, "Your reign of terror ends here, Doritos Cool Ranch." And Doritos Cool Ranch laughed mirthlessly, and swiped at Cape Cod with its massive, cheese-encrusted claw. But Cape Cod was quick and agile. For many moons, the great warriors fought, parrying and feinting, dodging and darting, whittling each other down piece by piece, until at last, Cape Cod, with its last bit of strength, hurled its crispy, kettle-cooked sword into the heart of Doritos Cool Ranch, ending the battle once and for all. Now, Cape Cod moves on as one of four remaining competitors, but today we remember the fallen titan Doritos Cool Ranch. We will remember it for its subtle flavor, its satisfying crunch, and its dignity even in defeat. But most of all, we will remember it for providing one-half of the best matchup in the tournament. – RG
1) Lays Original vs. 2) Kettle Chips Original
Kettle Chips Original wins 21-10
Lays motto is "Bet you can't eat just one." Well, I always enjoy a good dare, so my friends and I used to split an individual size bag of Lays and all just eat one. This motto is probably why Lays lost. Lays is also too greasy, I always feel gross after eating a whole bag, or even just three chips. Kettle is the classier chip brand, the crunchier chip brand. Kettle promises an all-natural chip, and is even endorsed by a dietician, which makes me feel better about myself when I eat them. It's all about marketing, and Kettle just does it better. – KS
2) Pringles Original vs. 4) Ruffles Original
Ruffles Original wins 18-14
Well it looks like we have another unexpected upset as Pringles Original loses to the underdog Ruffles- wait, fuck it, no no, fuck it. I can't write this shit. You've gotta be fucking kidding me? Really? You guys voted for Ruffles Original over Pringles? Has anyone in the history of chip eating ever been psyched to get a bag of Ruffles? People are more excited to vacation in Baghdad. Let's dissect this. The word Ruffle is coarse. It's sonically insulting. Ruffle sounds like what you'd call shaving your partner's pubic hair for fetishistic gratification. "Did you hear that Stacy ruffled Frank last night?" or "I don't even pay for hookers anymore unless they're down to ruffle me." The bag looks like it was designed by someone who was fired two hours ago and told to whip something up for "that chip that makes me feel like my mouth is being invaded by dental instruments." And as for the taste? It tastes like any old store brand chip. You might as well throw America's Choice in the mix. As for Pringles. Well- Wait a second. I'm not finished yet. I'll tell you when I'm finished- Who doesn't like the Pringles Guy? He's got that sick mustache, he gets all the pussy, he's the fucking man. Also he comes in that awesome plastic tube, obviously referencing how the Pringles mustache man is hung like Godzilla. If you eat Pringles you've got a big dick. End of story. If you're a girl who eats Pringles you simply appreciate a higher quality type of chip. I just don't understand. Why would you pick Ruffles, a chip that makes you feel like you're being mouthraped by a cactus, when you could just as easily choose the crispy delight that is a Pringle's snack experience? It's just absurd. I I I I You know what? Fuck this bracket! Fuck Ruffles! And fuck you! I quit. – LW
1) Tostitos Original vs. 2) Baked Lays Original
Tostitos Original wins 23-8
Hey so apparently I'm legally obligated to write another one of these reactions. I would also like to apologize to the fine people at Frito-Lay snack Co. My comments against your Ruffles Original Brand potato chip (which is a delicious and satisfying snack food) were brash and inappropriate. I am embarrassed of my statements and the way they represent this esteemed culinary contest.
So as for Tostitos beating those Baked Lays dipshits? Final-fucking-ly am I right? Yeah, of course I'm right. Who doesn't love Tostitos? You could dip them in all sorts of awesome shit. Salsa. Con Queso. Fucking uhhh five layer bean dip. The Tostitos are the white t-shirt of the chip world. They're good for any occasion. Picture this scenario: you're bringing bitches back to your house. You're too fucked up to order any food. Then BAM you whip out the Tostitos that your Mom brought you from back home and before you know it you're getting fucked harder than Bernie Madoff. It's the perfect snack that says. "Yeah I'm culturally sensitive, but I'm also going to retire at 35 with a Brazilian Mistress and a coke addiction." I can't do it justice. There are just so many layers to the bossness of Tostitos. Speaking of which, I almost forgot, you could make nachos out of them! Fucking nachos! Can you make nachos out of those diarrhea cakes they call "Baked Lays." The only things that were baked were the cockclowns that came up with the idea for such a bad chip. I mean you're basically just making a shittier Pringle. If I wanted to leave my Pringles out in the sun for three days and put them in a stupid yellow bag I would've done it okay! I don't need you to charge me $3.50 for that particular service. They're pussy chips. You ever try to dip a Baked Lay (that even sounds weird). It's like trying to write the Constitution with just a pencil in your ass. Almost impossible (almost). Fuck. If anyone thought even for a moment that those overpriced Baked Lays had a chance against my Brostitos you need a CT scan, a fucking CT scan…Uhh…Ummm. Well thank you for reading, make sure to vote, and stay tuned for the newest developments in Starch Madness! – LW
