This morning, we are joined by michael from Van Cortlandt manors great jackolantern blaze to find out how to get creepy and creative at the same time. Thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me, you bet. Tell us about this matter. It is especially an art installation. It is 5,000 jackolanterns on display. 5,000, wow. Not just individual. A combination of many jackolanterns and many carvings to make dinosaurs and as you are seeing on the screen here a tree full of jackolanterns. Those are awesome. Look like totem poles. This is the ninth year you have installed this. How long does it take . A team of how many . It is a year long process for designing and coming up with new themes and the carving takes place about the end of september and goes all the way through the event. But set up is a couple of months before the event starts. Quite popular, 45 minutes to walk through the pathway. It is. We are anticipating over 100,000 people this year. Where this this event. In Van Cortlandt manor. In new york. In new york. Howe lets get to it. We want to learn. First, its a matter of choosing the right pumpkin. Okay. This is a nice fresh pumpkin. We have washed and cleaned it. The first step is to scoop it out. We have cut a hole. Throw that out. Theres the hole. Grab your spoon and start this is where the messy part comes in. We have a cleaned out pumpkin with a pattern on it. Heres our cleaned out pumpkin and you were kind enough. I have taped the pattern down for us. This is a screw or nail. And put a little tape around it so it doesnt cut your finger. Go along the line of the pattern, we are making a connect the dots if you will. You want to be close to the previous. Pretty close, especially when there is a change in direction. Now what do we do . So, taking a saw this is a saw that you can get at a pumpkin carving kit but you can also use a paring knife in the kitchen or a craft utility knife. Okay. Insert your saw. Does it matter where we start . Doesnt really matter where we start for this pattern, near the top or center is a good spot and using a gentle sawing motion follow the lines we created. I have these really quick curves here. That will go quickly. Once you get to the end, dont push it in. Put your hand inside and then push it out. Thats a good tip. Why is that an important tip . If you can see here, as i am trying to push it in, it is not going in. Once you get more cuts it is more delicate and you will break it. This way it comes straight out. Okay. Even though we are using knives, how do we include the little kids in this. If they want to draw out their design. Hey, that just popped out. There you go. Good.

Reporter and they said they warned the administration of potential problems, despite it all the white house insisted theres never been a reason to delay the health law. Could have delayed this by a couple of months, had it tested and maybe had a smooth rollout. John, if you are asking me do we wish that there had been a better and more effective website on october 1st, absolutely.

A combination of many jackolanterns and many carvings to make dinosaurs and as you are seeing on the screen here a tree full of jackolanterns. Corn. Those are awesome. Look like totem poles. This is the ninth year you have installed this. How long does it take . A team of how many . It is a year long process for designing and coming up with new themes and the carving takes place about the end of september and goes all the way through the event. But set up is a couple of months before the event starts. Quite popular, 45 minutes to walk through the pathway. It is. We are anticipating over 100,000 people this year. Where this this event. In Van Cortlandt manor. In new york. In new york. All right. Lets get to it. How do we make it . We want to learn. First, its a matter of choosing the right pumpkin. Okay. This is a nice fresh pumpkin. We have washed and cleaned it. The first step is to scoop it out. We have cut a hole. Throw that out. Theres the hole. Grab your spoon and start this is where the messy part comes in. We have a cleaned out pumpkin with a pattern on it. Heres our cleaned out pumpkin and you were kind enough. I have taped the pattern down for us. This is a screw or nail. And put a little tape around it so it doesnt cut your finger. Go along the line of the pattern, we are making a connect the dots if you will. You want to be close to the previous. Pretty close, especially when there is a change in direction. Now what do we do . So, taking a saw this is a saw that you can get at a pumpkin carving kit but you can also use a paring knife in the kitchen or a craft utility knife. Okay. Insert your saw. Does it matter where we start . Doesnt really matter where we start for this pattern, near the top or center is a good spot and using a gentle sawing motion follow the lines we created. I have these really quick curves here. That will go quickly. Once you get to the end, dont push it in. Put your hand inside and then push it out. Thats a good tip. Why is that an important tip . If you can see here, as i am trying to push it in, it is not going in. Once you get more cuts it is more delicate and you will break it. This way it comes straight out. Okay. Even though we are using knives, how do we include the little kids in this. If they want to draw out their design. Hey, that just popped out. There you go. Good. This is something mom and dad want to do. Absolutely. Lets go to the finale. Through the magic of tv. Check this out. This is awesome. We have l. E. D. Electric lights.

Yeah, dim those lights. Yeah. Isnt that cool . This is something that you have at the art installation, right . Right. This is called the skeleton emergence. You can see on the screen behind us it is as if skeletons are coming out of the ground. Can i keep this one . They are all yours. I will tell everybody i did this one. Not bad at all.

Warmer in the midwest, but the west will be the place to be, above average temperatures. They always get the aboveaverage temperatures, dont they . Perfect weather for a butt injection. It could reach almost 90 degrees in the southwest and around 70 in the northwest. It will be almost as warm in the Central Plains and along the gulf coast. 50s in tennessee and the 40s, little chilly here in the northeast. All right. A unique world record attempt made yesterday in the philippines. Thousands of women got together to try to break their own record for simultaneous breastfeeding. Organizers say events like this took place in 1,000 sites across the country. Wow. A thousand events around the country. They claim 21,000 women, roughly 42,000 breasts, participated. I was a math major. Sorry. Ad lib. The women were trying to send a message, a true message to politicians, as well. They were demanding new laws be created to protect breastfeeding. A good message, by the way, because more often than not there are places that forget what the laws are and harass women who are breastfeeding which is completely allowed.

People have been getting stuck during the application process and i think its fair to say that nobodys more frustrated by that than i am. No one could be more frustrated than i am and the president wanted it to be smooth and easy and let consumers compare plans. I have no idea whether i will be offered a better plan or if the government will subsidize it. The kid took the gun out of his backpack and threatened to kill the teacher and at that point my heart was racing. He pulls out a gun and shoots my friend and walks up to a teacher and says back up. The teacher backed up and he pulled the trigger. He got bullied a couple of times and i saw kids pushing him around and doing a lot of mean things to him. The fact that maria has been identified and rescued is a miracle in and of itself. With statistics stating that roughly one to two percent of victims ever get rescued. It is a miracle.
