Kid's Horse Halloween Costume (Size: Small 5-7)

Choosing the type of wood you want to cook with can be a puzzle if you do not
know what wood is available, and how each type of wood will effect the meat you
are cooking in terms of flavor. The paragraphs below list a brief description of some
of the best woods to use for cooking and when to use them. Being from Texas, of
course my favorite type of wood to use is mesquite, and basically I use it for
everything I smoke. Sometimes I add other woods such as apple, cherry, or pecan to
give different tastes to the meat, but most of the time I use pure mesquite.

Many people do not like mesquite because they believe the smoke adds too much
flavor to the meet. If it is not used correctly, this can possibly happen. Mesquite
needs to be aged, or completely dry before it is used. Using it before then might
add a bitter flavor to the meat you are cooking.

Anyway, enough about mesquite. There are many different types of wood available
for you to smoke with. Just remember one thing. If you are using a type of fruit
tree, then you will be okay. Here are a few examples of fruit trees and the flavors
their smoke produces.

Alder- This type of wood is found mostly in northern states. It is a very delicate
wood that gives a hint of sweetness to the meat. Alder is commonly used to smoke
fish, pork, poultry, and game birds.

Apple- The bark on a piece of apple wood is very thin so it gives off less smoke that
other types of wood. The smoke is fruity in flavor, and can be a great wood to use
for smoking poultry and pork. I use apple in addition to mesquite when I smoke
ribs.

Cherry- This is a good wood to use for smoking beef, pork, and poultry. The smoke
is mild with a fruity flavor.

Hickory- Hickory is good for smoking pork, ham, and beef. It is probably the most
commonly used wood for smoking.

Mesquite- Mesquite is my favorite type of wood because it gives meat a good
smoke flavor, and a person can find it just about anywhere in Texas. It is important
to use only dried mesquite wood, because if the wood is too green, it can make the
meat taste bitter.

Oak- This type of wood can be used on just about anything if a heavy smoke flavor
is desired. Two types of oak are commonly used: red oak, and white oak. White oak
burns longer, and red oak is sweeter.

Pecan- Pecan is good to use in addition to mesquite when smoking ribs. I smoked a
brisket-using pecan only, and the end result was a 10-pound chunk of meat that
was too sweet to eat. I recommend using pecan moderately, mixed with another
wood such as mesquite or hickory.

These are just a few of the basic types of wood used for smoking. The types I have
described above are the kinds that I most commonly use, and the ones that I have
had the best luck with. The best way to find out which ones will work for you is trial
and error. Hickory is always a good bet, and it can be used in conjunction with
pecan, cherry, etc. to produce a mild, fruity flavor. Good Luck...

Costume Masks Alien Halloween Mask mask illusions masterpiece series super deluxe oversized, high quality latex mask. one size (auldt)

As Christmas draws in, every day people's struggles have been highlighted.

Head of personal finance, David Kuo from money website Fool, believes that large numbers of people across the country that are simply living "from hand to mouth" will struggle to put any money aside in time for Christmas.

The continuing squeeze on finances being caused as a result of the credit crunch is behind such difficulty in the run-up to Christmas, Mr Kuo said, arguing that this increased expenditure on everyday household bills has stopped people from saving any of their hard earned cash for Christmas.

Due to peoples everyday outgoings rising disposable income remaining at the end of the month has fallen with the rising associated costs associated with energy, motoring, mortgage payments, as well as food price inflation. Therefore, it is increasingly difficult to plan ahead for events such as Christmas where expenditure increases, as there is less ability to put money to one side each month, Mr Kuo said.

To help plan finances over the Christmas period may be to take out a low rate personal loan, which could help you budget over a longer period of time.

And it is budgeting for the festive season that Mr Kuo suggests for those that are in a situation where they have not been putting money aside each month. "Although the right thing to do, is to put money to one side, it becomes very difficult to do so, as so many people are just living from hand to mouth at the moment. What people need to do between now and Christmas is budget in some ways," he said. It may be wise to try and find the money individuals will need to spend over the Christmas period from somewhere commented by Mr Kuo. By budgeting successfully, large amounts of debt spread over a number of different credit cards, for example, may be avoided.

Research from a number of building societies has shown that rather than take on these these tips for a successful Christmas, people have decided to cut back their level of spending over the festive season.

Research made by Birmingham Midshires found that some 78 per cent of Brits will be making steps to make this an affordable Christmas. Overall, budgets for Christmas have fallen by 102 pounds, with Britons planning on forking out just over 600 pounds this year on their celebrations. It has been noted that only 11% of people plan to spend on their plastic this season. which has dropped according to research - down from 41 per cent of people in 2006.

It seems, however, that it is not just Christmas that is a concern for individuals. Close Investments have researched from a large majority of people that appear to be concerned that the country will suffer from recession during the winter months.

Customer Review: Awesome!
This buy was worth it! I live in Hawaii and it was shipped very quickly! Excellent condition and service. I will definitely buy from buy costumes again! They have earned a faithful customer.
Customer Review: Life-like costume
Bought this costume for my 4 year-old nephew. He loves it and went immediately into character. The mask is close to his eyes though and bothered him. The costume cannot really be worn as pj's either because of the cape. The costume is easy to slip into and out of.

As Halloween approaches, many of us have some party or Halloween event to go to. Since it's only once a year, don't you want to make it exciting by choosing a great costume? If you are still searching for the right one, here are some creative ideas that have been growing in popularity.

1. Sarah Palin - With the upcoming elections and the famous SNL skit with Tina Fey, Sarah Palin has become a fashion spectacle. From her hair to the famous glasses, more and more people have been seeking the Palin look. If you're looking to make that Sarah Palin transition, there are relatively cheap ways you can pull it off. Get yourself a light brown wig unless you already have similar hair color. The wig should run you about $30 to $45 and you should be able to style it to match one of her famous styles. No need to get the real hair as it will cost you a pretty penny and if this is just for a couple nights, why bother. Get yourself a pair of rimless glasses. Palin's are designed by Kazuo Kawasaki and distributed by a Los Angeles based Optical distributor, Italee Optics. They range anywhere between $200 to $400%2B. So unless you're looking to change your prescription glass frame, you can go with a cheap knock off. Finally, choose a business suit, pants or skirt and you're good to go.
2. John McCain - Another popular costume due to the upcoming elections is John McCain. This is very simple to pull off since all you need is a suit and a McCain mask.
3. Barack Obama - And another popular costume. Similar to the McCain costume, just wear a suit and the mask and you're set.
4. Flavor Flav - As much as this guy annoys me, his costume has grown in popularity with teenagers and some adults. The clock, Viking helmet, and sun glasses come in one kit that's about $15. The outfit is sold separately for about $40 to $50.
5. Batman, Joker - The Dark Knight costumes have grown in popularity with kids and adults. There are different versions of the costumes ranging from the simple costume to the more expensive, more defined and durable costumes. Take a look for yourselves and you'll be able to see the obvious differences. Overall, all versions of the costumes are good and if you're like me, you'll only be wearing this a couple of times this year so no point in spending a fortune.

More and more people are ending up talking with divorce lawyers these days instead of seeking help to "save my marriage", but does it really have to be that way?

It's estimated that 52% of marriages fail for one reason or another. It could be for bad reasons like abuse, both mental or physical, infidelity or any number of other things but what is the underlying cause of divorce and what can a person do to get the help to "save my marriage"?

The reasons that a lot of couples split and seek a divorce can be summed up in a few simple words.

Selfishness, when one or both of the parties involved in a relationship thinks more about themselves than the other person. This is a really one sided attitude that will keep a relationship from being strong and loving.

If you are seeing things in your marriage going downhill, you need to ask yourself, and answer honestly, am I being selfish and only wanting whats best for me or am I doing everything I can to give my spouse the attention and love that he or she deserves without thinking about what I want?

Infidelity is the primary cause of bteakup's in a marriage and should be avoided at all costs if you truly want to save your marriage. Infidelity goes right along with selfishness where you or your spouse starts seeing another person because they get treated much better and the spark that you felt seemingly is rekindled.

This isn't love, it's more like infatuation and should be avoided as it just creates more problems for those that are serious about saving their marriage. There are two kinds of pain that we are exposed to in our lives, physical pain and emotional pain.

Physical pain from an accident hurts and can sometimes be excruciating but emotional pain or heartache is the type of pain that can cause you to feel hurt more than any physical pain could ever do. Although emotional pain is not physical, it can cause physical pain and it seems to be more painful than anything that you have ever experienced in your life.

It causes you to be unaware of your everyday life by taking your mind off of the things you do on a daily basis like eating regular meals, paying your bills, enjoying your time off and spending quality time with your friends and family. Drinking, or drowning your sorrows, is another problem with emotional pain and should be avoided at all costs.

Money problems can be another cause of breaking up a couples marriage. Financial problems lead to arguments over almost everything like not being able to pay the rent on time, not having enough food for the month or not being able to go out and enjoy life like you thought you'd be able to. Couples that really want to save their marriage should adopt a policy of "wants and needs" and work together to overcome their budget battles.

So if you are thinking in the right direction of "I want to save my marriage", there are a couple of things that you can do to help start down the road to having a great marriage, even if you think it's broken beyond repair. First, seek professional help. This doesn't mean talking to your family or friends and laying out your troubles to them. Go to a professional counselor that can get you back on the road to a loving relationship.

Second, If you are already separated, don't push the other person to get back together, that will just push them further away. Take things slowly, a little at a time and talk rationally. If things start to get heated, just back off and try to talk at another time. Treat the other person with care and respect even though you may be feeling slighted and hurt.

The key is to always give more than you take from your relationship. If both parties can do that then neither one of you will be yelling those dreadful words, "Help, Save My Marriage"!

Your marriage is the most important thing that you will ever be involved in so what do you do when you need help to save your marriage because it doesn't work out the way you had expected?Get the "help save my marriage" information you need on the web anytime, day or night.

Some Christians avoid mention of Halloween. Some celebrate it anyway. Now, one company may change the way Christians view Halloween forever.

They have come up with a way to use Halloween as an opportunity. They have a Memory Cross card to hand out to trick-or-treaters with your Halloween candy.

What is a Memory Cross card? It is a four panel interactive card that is designed in an origami style. It unfolds to display selected bible verses. They target kids ages 4-13 and use colorful graphics to hold the both children and adults attention.

The original intention of a Memory Cross cards was for creator, Pastor Andy Lambert, to use in his sermons to tell bible stories. However, now there is yet another use. Because people love to play with these cards and flip them around, they easily learn Gods Word. These are great evangelism tools. Even the shy kids will want to pass them out to their family and friends.

Now for Halloween, they have a product that is designed to fold like the originals, but presents the gospel message. It starts out and says FREE CANDYWhat could be better than that? and then goes on to share the gospel. It is colorful. It has a photo of candy corn on the front and makes kids want to take a look inside.

Soinstead of just handing out candy this year, Christians can bring the hope of the gospel into the homes of every child who knocks on their door!

Sheryl Frey is a Christian dedicated to helping others find great Christian products like Memory Cross to share their faith. She also organizes the Memory Cross Kids challenge. For more information please see http://www.memorycrosskidschallenge.com

Justice League DC Comics Wonder Woman Child Costume

Costume includes: Gold headband with Red Star, Red cape, Red, White & Blue leotard, Gold belt & lasso, Silver bracelets and Red & White boot tops. This is the officially licensed costume.
Customer Review: worked well
my daughter loved being wonder woman and the costume was still in good shape after halloween.
Customer Review: So happy with this costume. Small is AGE 3-4 (not 4-6)
This is a great costume. Especially for a preschooler! The sizing is confusing though. Small 4-6 means size 4-6 not age 4-6. On the costume package it says size 4-6 for AGE 3-4. The same would logically apply to the larger sizes, so be careful to order the right size. I knew this before hand and the small fits my 4 year old ( a small 4 year old) great! The belt is velcro, one size, way too big but that is no problem. I just tie it like a sash in the back, a safety pin would be another option. The bracelets and the tiara are great and they stay put. The tiara wraps around with elastic on the back so works like a charm. There is a little place for the lasso (it comes with a lightweight golden lasso) which also helps to keep the belt in place. And the robe is great. It's actually nice and long. It is really much cuter than it looks in the picture. Seems comfortable enough for everyday play. Very cool. We are very happy with this.

Jewelry designers know they have a choice when looking for wholesale gemstone beads. Buying these unique beads at wholesale prices can save a designer a lot of money, but it's important to consider factors other than price when looking for a gemstone wholesaler. Any company should also have an extensive selection of unique beads and an easy return policy in case the bead turns out to be not quite what you expected.

Extensive Selection

If you do a lot of jewelry designing or buying for a group of designers, you know that finding one source for all your wholesale gemstone beads makes it easier to shop. A good source of wholesale gemstone beads will be able to offer freshwater pearls, semi precious and precious beads, as well as vermeil, sterling silver, copper and brass beads. Buying everything from one store means that you'll be able to enjoy reduced shipping costs and will cut down on the valuable time it takes to search multiple web sites or stores for particular unique beads.

Developing a relationship with a source of wholesale gemstone beads also means they may be able to place special orders or find unique beads especially for you. Doing this means you'll be able to design jewelry with unique beads no one else can offer.

Price

Price is another big concern gemstone buyers have. The price they're able to pay for their unique beads directly impacts the cost of the jewelry and how much they can charge for their jewelry pieces. If the price of semi precious or precious beads is too high, chances are the jewelry will sit in a store display case before being sold. By purchasing wholesale gemstone beads, you can bring down your costs and provide jewelry less expensively, while still maintaining your profit and the quality of your jewelry.

Hassle Free Return Policy

Because buying beads online means you can't touch the beads or see their quality in person, it's vital that any source for wholesale beads offers a hassle free return policy. It's reasonable for the company to put a time limit on returns and require authorization before accepting a return, but be wary of wholesalers who have a strict 'no returns' policy. A company that's interested in developing relationships with jewelry designers will understand the need to see gemstones in person before making the final decision if the bead should be used.

The company should also be willing to accept returns on items that are damaged during shipping. Because damage can occur even with the most careful packaging, wholesalers of gemstone beads should allow a return any time the items arrive damaged.

Doing a little research on sources of wholesale gemstone beads will mean saving valuable time in the long run when you're looking for specific unique beads. While many people may think price is the most important factor, consider the company's selection and the return policy before spending anything.

Jon Buschlen is a writer for Beads of Cambay, a source of wholesale gemstone beads. The store offers great prices and selection of many different types of unique beads.

Bagel Monsters

Slice bagel in half. Spread on cream cheese fill with meat and use a piece of ham to make a tongue coming out of center of the bagel hole. Attach black olive or pepperoni eyes with cream cheese put lettuce leaves as hair and a carrot nose.

The month of October brings everyone's favorite holiday, Halloween and New York is full of events that are sure to get you scared and excited at the same time. One of the most important parts of Halloween occurs before the event and that is the designing of the costume. Much time and preparation goes into designing the most original but yet freaky costume. Not just a New York thing but the world over, males are normally more reluctant than females to get dressed up in any type of costume, regardless of the event. Women have always been more enthusiastic about getting dressed up and this applies to Halloween. Well, this year it's time for the males to leave their inhibitions at the door and get creative with their costumes. To help males make an impact at this year's Halloween events I've put together some pointers to help them with their costumes.

The traditions of Halloween go back to ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was known as the end of the harvest season in Ireland. The Irish would take stock of their supplies and slaughter livestock in preparation for the winter months. Overtime, Halloween symbols have evolved such as the carved pumpkin with a candle in it, to trick-or-treat, bonfires, ghost tours and more recently costume parties. Today cities like New York have major events marking the date. One event that attracts people to New York is the Village Halloween parade. Over twenty thousand people participate in the event with over a million people lining the streets, making it the biggest Halloween parade in the world.

The problem with males getting dressed up in costumes is that they feel stupid. To help males feel less stupid is to join forces and go as a couple costume, this will take the pressure of your man. The trick is to keep the costume manly, don't pick a costume that is going to make him feel insecure every time you leave his side at an event. A classic Halloween costume for couples to wear is the Cowboy and Saloon girl outfit. Every male as a boy loved getting dressed up as cowboy and that feeling lives on in all of us, we jump at any opportunity to don the Cowboy shirt and hat. A Halloween costume that will turn heads at any New York events is the Zorro and a Senorita outfit. An outfit any male could throw together, all they need is a black shirt, black pants, black mask and a fencing sword. Another fantastic outfit for couples is the Pirate and Treasure Chest costume, he dresses as a pirate while she wears a gold shirt, and attaches gold, silver and peal beads. Everyone looks forward to Halloween events and the women don't have to have all the fun getting dressed-up, encourage your man to get creative and he'll come out of his box and surprise everyone.

James has recently moved to New York and he's looking forward to checking out Halloween in the big apple. With so many New York events listed this Halloween it's hard to decide where to go. To help with your decision he recommends using Metro212, which he believes is a good source for all New York events and nightclub listings including dating services.

Girls Pink Lady Halloween Costume

Our Girls Pink Lady Halloween Costume features a satin pink ladies jacket with Grease logo on front and Pink Ladies logo on back, v-neck top, black Capri pants, polka dot scarf and belt. This is the officially licensed Girls Pink Lady Halloween Costume from Grease.

Halloween is big business, and it begins long before pumpkins are carved and houses are decorated in October. Costume and decorating manufacturers such as Disguise and Rubies launch their new products well in advance of the season. Costume retailers must place their Halloween orders in the New Year, and therefore the suppliers have to know what is going to be a hit.

They look to the movie industry to see where trends are going and create costumes and accessories that fit the bill. Movie releases from 2007 will have a huge influence on costume trends for this year. Pirates will undoubtedly be the largest costume trend for the season. With the release of Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End this May, the 3rd instalment of the franchise, eye masks, swords and tri-corn hats will be in huge demand by retailers.

Other franchise instalments include Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Spiderman 3. Wizards and superheroes are always popular costumes, but the spring/summer releases of these movies it top of the mind for Halloween.

Another popular trend in dress-up and movies are zombies and the undead. There has been resurgence from the 70s genre zombie horror movie and in 2007 we see zombie movie sequels including 28 Weeks Later, Day of the Dead and Resident Evil. Horror makeup, prosthetics and fake blood will be in high demand by retailers and consumers.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or TMNT is being released in March while a contemporary Nancy Drew will be out by the summer. Rob Zombies Halloween, promises not to be a remake or a sequel and will introduce Mike Myers to a whole new audience.

The movies of 2007 will inspire the costume choices of its fans and lead the trends of this Halloween season.

Baptism invitations are necessary so that all your closest comrades can attend the most beautiful part of the Christian life. Every Christian should get baptized in a lake or a river. While it's not necessary to be granted life in the New Kingdom of God, it certainly takes the cake as far as certifying your Christian life to others. You see, the Christian life is no piece of cake. Lots of people need confirmation from friends, brothers, and parents to succeed in the Christian life. The Christian life is not about rules and dogma, but it's about love, tolerance, and forgiveness for all mankind, no one excluded.

Baptism invitations need to be mailed after the location, pastor, and circumstances are chosen for the event.

Several studies in baptism yield interesting tidbits of information that baptism students can learn from.

There is a pre-Christian baptism, the baptism of John, the Christian baptism, and the symbolic use of baptism. In Judaic tradition, baptism was done through the water, vis-a-vis immersion, for ritual and ceremonial cleansing, and initiation into the religious group or family. John the Baptist had a different form of baptism that was for the sin forgiveness, Messiah announcements, and the coming Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. That system was Jewish people who really repented, and it worked under the Mosaic sacrificial set-up system for the forgiveness of sins. It had to do with righteousness and God's purposes on earth for all of his children in the Christian family.

So, as you can see, baptism invitations are an absolute must because it's important to collect together every Christian family member in your immediate area and your friends and family so that you can build upon each other in the Christian faith.

There are several reasons why it's important to send out beautifully illustrated invitations with religious imagery and symbols galore. It inspires those in the Christian community that aren't yet initiated into baptism, and it encourages them to walk right in the Christian light toward peace and freedom in the light of Jesus Christ.

Sexy Cuddly Lion Costume Adult

Includes a dress with attached tail, plush ears, arm warmers and leg warmers. Shoes not included.

What would you say if someone told you that alcoholism has its roots in sugar addiction? Problems with overconsumption of alcohol often begin with eating habits as children. Since all alcoholic drinks contain sugar, it is a wonder that this association is often overlooked. A 12-ounce beer has about 13 grams of carbohydrates in it. So if you have five beers over the course of one evening, thats 65 grams of carbohydrates in four to five hours (or less, depending on how fast you drink).

If you believe this line of thinking to be faulty, it is imperative to see the film SuperSize Me. In documentary style, this movie shows what happens when one person goes on a binge for 30 days and eats nothing but McDonalds food. You may be wondering about the connection between alcohol and McDonalds (aka sugar and chemical overload). Keep reading. The man in the film is monitored by three different doctors during his journey into destroying his body. Although the example put forth in the film is an extreme one, it shows why this diet or anything like it is a poor one to undertake. During day 22 of the experiment, his doctors conduct blood tests on his liver to determine the extent of the damage. The results are unbelievable. His liver is in the same condition as someone who had been on a long alcoholic binge: thus firmly establishing the sugar-alcohol connection. McDonalds foods are highly processed, full of chemicals, and most importantly, wrought with simple carbohydrates which are the same thing as sugar. Alcohol in all forms also containsyou guessed it, sugar.

Studies have shown that people who display unhealthy eating habits and abuse sugar have similarities to those who are so-called alcoholics. Many people who become alcoholics in their adult years regularly kept unhealthy diets as children and adolescents. The pattern is a predictable one that is often also underpinned by unstable emotional environments. When a child is allowed to consume refined sugar foods that regularly replace nutritious foods, this sets up the perfect beginning to a life of poor choices for health.

Children are easily made to believe by their parents and other authority figures that various foods regularly eaten by the whole of society are actually good for them and contain substantive nutrition. Although sugar is not technically in the same category as alcohol or drugs, food with refined sugars and processed flour as well as candies and desserts represent the initial stepping stone to sugar consumption that can plateau out as alcohol abuse in adolescents and adults. On a fundamental level, all are addictive substances because they each contain one key ingredient - carbohydrates or simple sugars. When sugar is introduced into the body, a reaction occurs where the blood sugar achieves a high point causing the body to go into hyperactivity mode. This process often leads to the mistaken diagnosis of ADD or ADHD. Drugs such as Ritalin are often prescribed to level out the chemicals in the childs brain that are considred abnormal. What is not addressed are the large amounts of refined sugars consumed by these same children, as well as lack of adequate physical activity and supportive emotional relationships with famliy members. Children who consume large amounts of refined sugar in their diets are much more likely to go on and become drug or alcohol abusers later in life - especially when these other conditions are present.

Heres something interesting: the food pyramid tells us that we should eat 6 to 11 servings of whole grains each day. But the vast majority of whole grain choices in our food environments are far from whole grains. On a continual basis, we are lied to on labels about what is contained in many foods we buy in the store. Simply taking the time to read the list of ingredients will immediately reveal that a good majority of these foods are not whole grain, have been enriched, are not a natural source of vitamins or nutrients, and contain added sugars and other chemicals that are dangerous to consume. Even if we did consume all whole grains in those servings, which would be difficult at best, we would be consuming far too many carbohydrates for our own good compared to other important nutrient, mineral, and vitamin-containing foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and healthy proteins like antibiotic and hormone free meats and raw dairy products (in moderation, of course). And that doesnt even include all the junk-related and refined sugar foods we consume on a daily basis, nor sugary beverages (alcoholic beverages included).

The body requires proper nutrition and support to function on an optimal level. Most of what people put in their mouths does not support the complex system that is the human body. When a person is working at a stressful job and does not have time to prepare wholesome, nutritious meals, a decline in health is inevitable. Many people believe that what they are eating is healthy when it isnt because consumers have been repeatedly lied to and mislead about nutrition. Corporations have in their best interest to sell what tastes good to consumers, not what is nutritious. Even though there is a wealth of information available about sugar and alcohol consumption, people tend to overindulge since food and drink containing sugar is so prevalent and easy to come by.

Everywhere we look there are more temptations to purchase and eat the things that we shouldnt, and not nearly enough emphasis on organic, whole, healthy foods. When you go to a restaurant or bar and order a drink, how often do you stop at just one? How often do you have two, three, four, or five? When you go to a restaurant to eat, think about how many items on your plate are full of refined carbohydrates versus a whole, natural food. When the server comes to take your plates at the end of a meal, how many times are you offered dessert as an ending to your visit? Almost every time.

Anxiety and depression, the two basic human emotional disturbances, are perpetuated by unhealthy lifestyles such as lack of activity, overloads of stress, improper rest, and you guessed it eating poorly. When people encounter stress, their bodies respond by telling them they need more support - sleep, exercise, healthy food and whole food supplements, plenty of purified water, and adequate stress relief. The average American lifestyle fails to include the right combination of these important components. For stress relief and boredom, many people turn to eating refined sugar foods and beverages, drinking, and drug use. Unhealthy snacks and foods are so convenient and readily available, people have a tendency to load up on those kinds of foods rather than taking time to prepare a healthy meal or snack instead. The more we consume these kinds of foods, the more we crave them.

When you visit the grocery store, notice which foods are the most visible and prevalent on the aisles. Just pick up a box or a can of any food and read the ingredients. If you cannot make heads or tails of what they are, why should you be eating or drinking it? Any food or drink product that contains more than three or four ingredients should automatically be a red flag to any consumer. When we consume such massive amounts of sugar, run ourselves into the ground with stress and busy schedules, fail to get adequate exercise and rest, its no wonder our bodies fail. Patients would rather end up at the doctor asking for medication to deal with symptoms they experience as a result of the abuse their bodies are receiving than commit to making a real, healthy lifestyle change.

Mad Scientist Lab Kit Halloween Haunted House Prop

Mad Lab Kit includes: 1 large, 1 medium, 1 small sized bottle, 1 test tube, .3oz spider web w/spider, 1 burner w/PVC tube, 1 stand, 1 rat, snake and skull. Reusable storage chest.

1. There seems to be a lot of discussion on color and fabric. The most accurate statement on this issue that I can make was there was a great variety of colors and fabrics.

2. I personally believe that much of the renowned butternut look was due to unstable dyes that faded quickly.

3. Many of the items that may have been gray quickly turned to shades of ranging from light tan through a brownish green. Some reenactors love the butternut look and that is perfectly ok, but I wouldnt overdo it.

4. I try to include some gray in my uniform whether it is hat, jacket or pants. I feel like the all gray look or mostly gray look gives a better appearance than the all butternut look.

5. I recommend staying with a gray jacket and kepi. Add butternut pants. I feel kepis and jackets look better in gray. This is just my personal preference from the research I have done. There is no hard and fast rule about this.

6. For example, if you want to have a butternut jacket, I personally feel that a gray hat or pants goes well because it blends in better with the other reenactors in the line.

7. If you look through Troianis prints, which are closely, researched most of the men were in gray with some butternut items here and there.

8. This is one area where original photos do not do you much good since they are in black and white. Uniforms in museums are your best source. Troianis prints are reliable since he is considered to be one of the foremost experts in Civil War Uniforms.

9. In his paintings, the vast majority of soldiers were in gray. They tried to have gray uniforms as best they could. The color of the Confederate army was gray and they tried to achieve that look whenever possible.

10. But the shortage of dye and the instability of the dye was always a problem in keeping all uniforms gray. Natural dyes like sumac and walnut were relied on to some extent. Sumac for example starts out mostly gray and quickly turns to tan or brown like the hat shown above.

Doppelgangers

Doppelgangers are ghostly and evil creatures that can shapeshift into an image of a living person. The word "doppelgnger" is of German origin which literally means "double goer". It is a word that often describes the phenomenon whereby someone catches a glimpse of his own image out of the corner of his eyes. In some traditions, it is considered as an omen or an apparition of an unfortunate event that's bound to happen.

Gargoyles

Often depicted as scary creatures with wings and demonic features, gargoyles are entities that are believed to protect buildings from evil spirits.

Manticores

Manticores are feared man-eating creatures that have a body of a lion, a tail of poisonous spines, and according to some sightings, a face that resembles a human's. With its tail of spines, and triple rows of teeth, a manticore is a stealth killer that can swallow its victims whole without leaving any trace.

Nagas and Naginis

These are serpent-like creatures that resemble human from the waist up, and snakes from the waist down. The males are known as Nagas while females are known as Naginis. They are limbless and often depicted as cobra-like in movement.

Wendigo

Wendigo, "the spirit of lonely places" is a cannibalistic spirit that can possess humans. Wendigos are thought to possess evil men. It is said that one can turn into a Wendigo through indulging in cannibalism. It is depicted as a tall thin creature that resembles a human being. It is also portrayed as someone twisted, fanged and bloodstained.

Scary creatures for Halloween are a great costume idea. Dressing up as one of these nightmarish creatures would not only pronounce the spirit of Halloween, but would also earn you some screams of fright, awe and gratification this thriller season.

Leg Avenue 3 Piece Diner Betty Costume

Halloween is a time to stock up on treats and to make other necessary arrangements such as finding a suitable costume and seeking out new types of pumpkin-orientated meals to try. But home insurance? Should that really be top of your agenda? Some financial experts are saying so.

Fairinvestment.co.uk has stated today that home insurance claims increase by 150% during Halloween in the UK alone. It seems that classic tricks of yesteryear may have been replaced by pranks that cost, and subsequently cause homeowners to claim.

Across the pond however, the link between Halloween and financial planning is even stronger. The so-called 'where there's blame, there's a claim' culture has led to financial research company Defaqto to warn that homeowners may well be liable if someone happens to get injured on their property.

Mike Powell calls for homeowners to check their home insurance policy, particularly if they own a dog, as most policies do not cover if a dog attacks a child on your property.

Broderick Perkins of examiner.com also writes of similar concerns. He highlights the importance of keeping your driveway well lit, and to do anything to lessen the likelihood that someone may claim that you were in any way negligent. He also reminds potential party hosts that they can be held responsible if a drunk guest injures anybody or damages property even after leaving your home.

The Insurance Information Institute has put together a list of tips to help everyone have a claim-free - and safe - Halloween. Some examples include: to make sure the kids have their own small torches; to set a trick or treating route to stick to; and to avoid accessories and loose fitting clothes. So no pitch-forks or bed-sheets then?

The idea that it seems to get statistically more likely that you'll end up making a home insurance claim year on year in the UK, and the fact that the very birthplace of the tradition is preparing itself for the possibility of claims from angry parents against homeowners is starting to put me off the whole affair - I wonder when this mentality will arrive here also.

Snow globes are great for any occasion or holiday, simply by changing what you use to create your scene. Just let your imagination run wild!

For example, make a harvest scene for Thanksgiving, a ghostly haunted house for Halloween, a red Valentine heart or colorful Easter/Spring display for the holiday of your choice.

Other themes could include a special birthday or event, sports team, favorite cartoon character or superhero, seashell or Victorian motif, to name just a few.

Once you have an event or theme in mind, it's easy to gather together the elements for a really unique custom made creation.

WINTER CRAFTS SNOW GLOBE

Materials:

Clear Glass Jar with a tight lid (pickle, pimento, jelly, baby food)

Small Waterproof Ornaments, Figures or Decorations

Distilled Water or Water that has been boiled and cooled

Clear Silicone Sealant (Aquarium Sealant) or Florist Clay

Egg Shells or Foil Confetti

Glitter

Glycerin or Mineral Oil

Optional: Plastic Lid to fit inside the jars lid,
Circle of Fabric, Ribbon or Lace

1. Choose a Clean Dry Glass Jar - A baby food jar is perfect for a small kids craft, pimento jars have a unique ball shape, and pickle jars are large enough to allow you to add several elements to your scene. Just fit your jar to your desired final effect. Remove any labels and food residue.

2. Plan your Snow Globe Scene - Search your sewing kit and home craft supplies for materials and inspiration. You can make people, animals, trees - you name it - from craft foam. Sewing findings are a great source of small decorations too. Also consider miniatures at the craft or hobby store. Remember to shop the day after a holiday for lots of discounted items!

3. Secure the Figures and Decorations inside the jar lid with silicone sealant or florist clay. In order to elevate the scene so it is in clear view, glue a plastic lid inside the jar lid or build up the area with a little extra florist clay. Be sure to leave the edges clear so you have room to screw on the lid. Set aside to dry.

4. Prepare Your "Snow" using the shell from a hardboiled egg. Separate the shell from the membrane, place in a sturdy ziploc bag, and crush with a rolling pin. Finer particles will fall more slowly in the snow globe and have a more pleasing effect. However, avoid crushing eggshell into a powder as it will simply float in the water instead of falling gently.

Depending upon your theme, you can change your "snow" to go along with it. Try themed confetti available at craft stores to add an interesting element to your creation. If youre doing a Halloween or Thanksgiving scene, look for foil leaf confetti in fall colors. For Easter you can use foil flower confetti. For a sports theme, use glitter in your favorite teams colors.

The possibilities are endless and ensure that you are creating a one-of-a-kind snow globe!

5. Fill the Snow Globe - When you are pleased with your snow globe scene, fill the jar with distilled water, leaving a little space at the top to accommodate the figures. Add several drops of glycerin to keep the snow suspended and floating properly. Mineral oil or baby oil can also be used in place of the water and glycerin.

6. Add Snow and Glitter - When adding eggshells, make sure you have enough to cover the lid once it has settled to the bottom. Use silver glitter along with the egg shells to make shimmery snow - use one teaspoon of glitter for every inch of water. If youre adventurous, experiment with different effects. Use a drop or two of colored lamp oil to create a swirling effect. Add food coloring to the water or use different colored glitters.

Close the jar tightly and shake your snow globe. Observe how the snow falls and the overall look. Tweak till you get the desired effect by adding a little more snow, glitter or confetti.

7. Seal the Dome - When youre sure the figures and scenery are arranged to your satisfaction, and the snow to water ratio looks good, add a bead of silicone sealant around the threads of the lid and close tightly.

8. Add Final Touches - For a more decorative and finished look, cut a circle of pretty fabric a little larger than the jar lid. Secure to the lid with an elastic band. Hot glue a piece of ribbon or lace over the elastic band.

You'll be proud to display and enjoy your original
winter crafts snow globe creation.

Women's Race Car Driver Costume

Baby, you can drive my car... This three piece costume includes the cropped jacket, pants and belt. Available in Black/Green, sizes small, medium and large.

Halloween, a day of fright, folklore, goblins and above all fun for all those who are of a mind to simply enjoy themselves by letting loose their imagination however many may ask what is the history behind this holiday that has come to be celebrated through out the world? First off all we might ask what are the origins of the name Halloween and what if any meaning does it have?

Regarding the origins of the word Halloween, the answer is a simple one. It all started many centuries ago when there was a Catholic holiday called "All Martyr's Day"; celebrated on May 13 however it came to be that the date was changed to the 1st of November while the name transformed to All Saint's Day". This change prompted that October 31, the day before came to be known as "All Hollow's Evening". As one can now observe "Halloween" is the short form of these two words, put in to one.

This explains the name Halloween however what about the rest? Where did it came about that people took to putting on customs in an attempt to frighten others? Well the explanation to this lies in Ireland; as it was there and according to the calendar of the Celts that the 1st of November was the first day of the year which made the 31st of October the last day. Tradition had it that on this last day of the year which the Celts referred to as Samhain; the line that separated the living from the dead all but disappeared; making it possible for the souls of the dead to intermingle with the living. However the souls of the dead contacted the living with evil intentions. These being to posses their bodies so they might come back to the world of the living, thus escaping from the spiritual world. It was secure in their believe that ancient Celtics felt the need to put on costumes of fright which they felt would surely ward off those evil spirits which were bound to attempt to posses their bodies.

In a way one could see that this to the Celtics which eventually became a tradition was not really so much a matter of having fun but a form of saving their souls and bodies; therefore it was with this in mind that they also went about their neighborhoods making as much noise as possible. Now in the 21st century, we of course can think of this is as being silly but to the Celts it was anything but as it sometimes happened that after Samhain; a person was even killed by those near him or her who believed the person they were killing was no longer the person they had known but a body inhabited by an evil spirit. Naturally with the passing of the years, faith in the concept that one could have one's body taken waned and Halloween became a more ceremonial event as well as a joyous one for both children and adults.

Now a days for instance in the United States, Halloween is the second biggest money making holiday. Second only to Christmas, as it is during the weeks that lead up to this day that many a person; both very young and not so young go out and purchase a costume in order to attend either a Halloween party or go "trick or treating". Costumes however are not the only items available to those wishing to spend money on the celebration of Halloween as they may also acquire decorations, games and even foods connected with this day of ghosts and witches. Yes, Halloween even serves for the purpose of selling food products such as cakes and other edible objects which are made with decorations pertaining to this very special day of the year. All of which making Halloween a day which has more to it then just putting on strange clothes.

During the last few years however the fad has lead people away from costumes of freight such as ghosts or vampires and in to more diversified fields such as some of the younger ladies dressing up as princesses while some of the boys do so as action heroes such as Batman. Of course there are those who obtain their ideas for dressing up from history books and become Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington or other such characters whose image has lasted through out the years. I for my part ;if I could find the costume which would make me the character I wish to be? This I can say with all sincerity that I would become Darth Vader or at least for the day that is Halloween. This being the case since I am a huge Star Wars fan.

Halloween in this day and age is celebrated all through out the world and contrary to what many may think it did not start in the United States but in Ireland and it was also there that the idea of bobbing for apples came about as the Romans brought it when they invaded many years later. Another Halloween tradition in the United States is "trick or treating" however this concept is not connected so much with Samhain but with a certain group of people; who during the middle ages performed an act which came to be called "souling". Souling being where a person would knock on somebody's door asking for "soul cakes" in exchange for which he or she would say a prayer for the souls of the dead relatives of the one who should be generous enough to give out "soul cakes". Today however this practice has changed in many ways as it has turned in to children going from door to door saying "trick or treat"; where the person answering the door is confronted with the choice of either giving a treat which might be a sweet or something of the sort or having some dastardly trick played on his home. These tricks however for the most part are harmless and limited to having something written on his or her door with chalk (which can be easily washed away) or some trash being left and rarely if ever go beyond what could be hailed as a prank.

In conclusion we could say that Halloween is a day that can be celebrated by just about anybody given its not being either a religious holiday nor one connected to patriotism; all of which makes it the ideal international holiday it has become. As for myself personally it has been in the time which I have lived in Poland that I have made every effort to bring the tradition of Halloween not only to my daughter, Paullina but to her friends who last year much to my near shock and that of several of the neighbors went out "trick or treating". All of which made me see that my efforts to bring the wonder of Halloween to Poland have not been in vain.

My name is Gianni Truvianni, I am an author who writes with the simple aim of sharing his ideas, thoughts and so much more of what I am with those who are interested in perhaps reading something new. As for the details regarding my life I would say that there is nothing that lifts them above the ordinary. I was born in New York City in 1967 on May 21st and am presently living in Warsaw, Poland where I wrote my first book "New York's Opera Society" now Available on Amazon.

It's just the right time of year to start making plans for Halloween. If you don't have small children, or if the weather just isn't right for trick-or-treating, you might want to consider hosting a fun and spooky Halloween party. Of course you'll want to use your own creative spark when hanging decorations and baking snacks, but here are a few basic ideas to get you started.

Decorations

You don't need to spend a lot of money to convert you house into the kind of creepy crawly locale suitable for Halloween. All it takes is a few supplies and a little imagination.

The first step is to choose a theme for your decorations. A little organization can lead to a much more appealing (and frightening) effect than simply taping scary images up. You can host your party in:

• A haunted mansion
• An eerie graveyard
• A mad scientist's laboratory
• A monster's lair
• A meeting place for fairy tale witches
• Any other place you can think of!

The next step is to gather your supplies. Of course, the kind of decorations you want to make will depend on your party's theme. If you're not sure what decorations would work best, or how to create the effect you want, there are plenty of websites with lots of great tips.

Refreshments

As we all know, refreshments are the lifeblood of a party. You don't want to serve any drab snack for a special night like Halloween. Fortunately, there are plenty of easy ways to dress up your favorite foods to create the perfect spooky snack.

For example, let's say you're serving deviled eggs - the perfect food for a scary party, right? After you've prepared the eggs, get some black olives and cut them in half. One half can be placed domed side-up on the egg yolk. The other can be cut into slivers and arranged around the other half. There is now a swarm of huge spiders on your food table.

As you can see, anything you may be preparing can be turned into an appropriately awful surprise for your guests. Simple cookies can become bones, fingers, eyeballs, and bugs. Gelatin can be easily molded into delightful shapes, from brains to space aliens to ghostly ectoplasm. Even harmless homemade breadsticks can become gangly skeletons or witches' brooms.

Check out these ideas I found for making your cupcakes a bit more fancier.

A cupcake is made more attractive by its designs or toppings. You can design your cupcake with the occasion or affair in mind. The ordinary cupcake has come a long way from being the plain and simple small or "mini" cakes of yesteryear. Modern day cupcakes still follow the basic recipe of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. However, the cupcakes of today come in various designs and toppings. The simple frosting and sprinkles combination has been replaced with cupcakes topped with gumpaste flowers, fruits and nuts and come in a variety of colors and flavors.

If you are hosting or planning for an occasion, it would be easier to design your cupcakes with the event in mind. If it's for Halloween or Christmas, you can bake your cupcakes and top them with a dark colored frosting and sprinkle with orange and black sprinkles which you can buy at most confectionery store.

For a fancier design, you can decorate your cupcakes with edible pearls and jewelry, drage, quins, edible leaves or decoratifs. Fresh flowers can also be used as garnishes or toppings for cupcakes. Fruit is another favorite topping of cupcake aficionados. Strawberries, blueberries, mango and the like can serve as tasty decorations.

Fancy and elegant cupcake and muffin papers can also be bought to complement your cupcake motif or theme. Designs range from the colored variety to the super hero, flowers, sports, valentine or any other theme and occasion.
