Icing turns dull.

Baking Advice Needed

I've tried to make black & white cookies 4 times and every time the chocolate icing always looses it's glossiness, turns a lighter shade of brown and is powdery looking.

I use 3 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1/4 cup Ghiradelli 100% cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup and warm water. Combine until smooth with a whisk and do not over mix. It dries glossy at first but within hours they start to turn dull and powdery looking.
A few hours after icing.

I painted my garage door with Ben Moore flat stain and it worked beautifully but I'm not thrilled with the very flat appearance. Is there any kind of top coat or additive I can apply to make it more of a satin/semi-gloss finish?

New Thermostat Wiring

How To Question

I'm replacing my old mercury switch thermostat with a modern programmable one. My problem is the old thermostat had A blue wire going to the R terminal and a red wire going to the RH terminal. My new thermostat only has an R terminal. When the red wire is connected to R, the furnace works and when the blue wire is connected to R the AC works. With them BOTH connected to R both seems to be working fine. Is the any danger or potential damage I am doing by wiring these both to R?

The green, white and yellow are all connected to their respective terminals and there is no common wire.

I just bought a house and have no experience with yard care. Can anyone give me an idea of what might be going on? It's half dead(?) with small green healthy patches mixed in. None of my neighbors lawns look like this.
