By day, Ogden appears as a typical small town in Utah, but by night, this quiet little community awakens more than its share of spooky happenings.

Ogden was not always such a friendly community. In the late 19th century it was full of opium dens and brothels along 25th Street. Many were connected by underground tunnels that were the scenes of violent acts. In fact, for a short time, Ogden was known as the "murder capital" of the West! Today, walk along 25th Street at night and you may hear the sound of popping noises on the pavement. This was where the prostitutes would drop dried beans from second story windows to attract customers. Some believe many are still there still looking for business.

The Bellshire Hospital, once an old mental facility, has a violent past and has been the scene of many paranormal sightings. Legend has it, the doctor managing the hospital had a reputation for implementing experimental treatment methods on patients. Today people have heard blood curdling screams that seem to come out of thin air, or see figures staring out of the windows. An encounter with a young girl occurred during a recent ghost hunt. Today, the hospital has been converted to an interactive fright theater during the Halloween season.

The Ben Lomond Hotel is a popular destination by ghost seekers. Apparently in the 1940's a woman staying at the hotel got word that her son died in World War II. She returned home, but she must have enjoyed her stay because many say her spirit has returned and haunts the hallways. There are accounts of the elevator stopping at floors where no button has been pushed. The front desk has received calls from room 1106 when no one is occupying the room. If you visit, be sure to request one of the haunted rooms.

The Union Railroad Station was once a temporary morgue where spirit sightings and unexplained events are common. The most popular tale (with many versions), is of a lady in a blue dress who was arguing with her lover. She quickly turns to run away, steps in front of an oncoming train and is killed instantly. The figure of a woman dressed in blue and crying while running across the rail yard has been spotted over and over.

Dead Haven was a popular Halloween haunted house that has its own eerie past. Although it's entertained many uses over the years, the building in the 1920's was a farm implement store located in the wrong part of town. Two apartments across the street burned down, killing 2 occupants, and the area was the site of many accidental deaths and murders. Paranormal experts theorize that there are still wandering souls in the area. Ghostly figures have been spotted and the sound of children's laughter has been heard at night when the building was empty.

Members of Utah Paranormal Exploration and Research spent an evening staking out the corridors of this creepy place in search of hard evidence of a haunting. In one of their recordings, a voice could plainly be heard saying, "Who's there?" Other than some flashlights that suddenly refused to work, and shots of a bobbing light appearing through the camcorder of another investigator, the night was fairly uneventful.

Sexy Cuddly Lion Costume Adult

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

With Halloween on its way, we need to think about how the holiday affects all the family members in our home, including our pets. Every holiday provides opportunity for fun and excitement, but also for anxiety and safety concerns when it comes to our pets. In order to keep your pet safe during this fun fall holiday, refer to the steps below.

Step 1: If you've decided to take your pet trick or treating, make sure you've chosen an appropriate costume for him. Make sure your pet won't be uncomfortable with the costume you've chosen and that he'll be able to relieve himself when necessary. Also, make sure there are no small accessories that he might try to ingest.

Step 2: When you dress him in his costume, make sure you allow room for his collar and identification tags. Keep him leashed at all times while you are out and about enjoying the festivities. If he becomes separated from you with all of the excitement, you'll want to be able to get your pet back!

Step 3: Observe his behavior throughout the evening. It might be disconcerting for him to see all of the costumes of the children and he might become frightened. It's even possible that Halloween makes him so uncomfortable that he might bite someone in costume. Once it appears your pet is no longer enjoying the holiday, it's time to head back home.

Step 4: Although you might want your pet to stand alongside you and pass out candy, it's probably a better idea to have him fenced or contained within a room of your home. With the door opening and closing with each trick or treat-er, he might be tempted to slip out. Also, some visitors to your home might be fearful of dogs and this will allow them to approach your door without fear.

Step 5: Store treats in a locked location. Pets will be able to smell all of those goodies you acquired and they will stop at nothing to find them in the home. The days after Halloween are busy ones for veterinarians who are treating poisoned pets.

Step 6: Give your pets treats of his own. This will make him feel a part of the fun while still keeping his best interests at heart.

It only comes around once a year, but Halloween is a holiday you need to prepare your entire family for, including the family pets!

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.

The Holidays are coming fast! Halloween, Thanksgiving, then Christmas! Back-to-back, our lives will be filled with activity, family gatherings, celebrations and--the inevitable--issues that rise when families get together: old, unfinished business; unresolved conflicts; differences of opinions; new, added members struggling to get accepted and integrated, and so on.

If you want to explore a fresh, fun and effective way of enjoying stress-free holidays, try movies. They can teach you valuable lessons of how to deal with some of the perennial issues surrounding holidays. Here are three short lists of movies to watch and their immediate benefits:

1. Halloween: Learn valuable lessons from horror movies:

1. The Shining: Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) gets a job as the custodian of the Overlook Hotel, in the mountains of Colorado. The place is closed down during winter, and Torrance and his family will be the only occupants of the hotel for a long while. When the snow storms block the Torrance family in the hotel, Jack's son Danny - who has some clairvoyance and telepathy powers - discovers that the hotel is haunted and that the spirits are slowly driving Jack crazy.

Benefits: respect the energy of homes, trust your intuition, protect your creativity from negative energies, ask your childrens opinions when you make big life decisions.

2. Rosemarys Baby: Rosemary and her new husband, Guy, move into a new apartment in New York, befriending an elderly couple who live near by. Guy begins to spend a lot of time with them and, soon after that, strange things begin to happen, until Rosemary falls pregnant and begins to suspect that her neighbors have special plans for her child.

Benefits: research your neighbors before you begin trusting them; trust your judgment when something in your life keeps going wrong; protect your creative project from everyone regardless of how close you feel to them until its completed.

3. The Blair Witch Project: Heather Donahue leads film students Michael Williams and Joshua Leonard in the forests near Burkittesville, where they will shoot a documentary about a local legend, the Blair Witch. Many children have vanished in the 1940s and people still avoid going too deep into the woods. The group starts an adventure from which they will never return. One year later, the students film and video is found in the woods, that shows what happened.

Benefits: know your limits when you embark on an adventure; be adequately prepared; dont trust blindly a leader (he or she may not know where he or she is going.

2. Thanksgiving: Learn how Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to build new family relationships:

1. The Ice Storm: Focusing on two families in particular, the Hoods and the Carvers, this is the story of rapid moral deterioration, as the characters shatter their social "roles" in pursuit of meaning and satisfaction, not considering the consequences. Once the "storm" hits, though, during Thanksgiving week, reality sinks in, and the severity of their situation becomes all too apparent in its bitter, and resonating aftermath.

Benefits: If you want to enjoy family bliss, you must work hard on building strong, healthy family relationships. Reconsider your family relationships, be authentic, express your needs, tell the truth to your children.

2. Whats Cooking: In LA's Fairfax district, where ethnic groups abound, four households celebrate Thanksgiving amidst family tensions. Around each table, things come to a head. A gun, an affair, a boyfriend, and a pregnancy precipitate crises forcing each family to find its center.
Benefits: Embrace other peoples differences and celebrate commonalities; see life as a feast that is to be cherished now.

Hannah and Her Sisters: A family of complicated and problematic New Yorkers comes together during a Thanksgiving dinner. The main characters are three sisters: Lee, who is unhappily married; Holly, who is always in search of fulfillment; and Hannah, the family jewel. Shes f, beautiful, intelligent, successful, and a good mother, wife and sister. All is well until Hannahs sisters get involved in her life and threaten to shred it apart.

Benefits: Get to know the people in your family; get over your judgments about them; accept their shortcomings.

3. Christmas: Discover the spiritual messages of Christmas:

1. Its A Wonderful Life: George Bailey has spent his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls. But today, on Christmas Eve, he is about to end his life out of despair, until he meets Clarence, his guardian angel. Clarence takes George on a tour to Bedford Falls as the town it would have been if George had not existed, teaching himand usa precious lesson about lifes true meaning.

Benefits: The Essence of Abundance is in sharing love; we are here to do goodgood depends on our actions; wealth is not just having a lot of money
2. Family Man: On Christmas Eve, Wall Street celebrity Jack Campbell gets a phone message from a woman he almost married 13 years before and who is moving to France. On Christmas day, Jack wakes up next to her, in some sort of parallel universe, in a 12-year marriage. Over the next few weeks, he gets a glimpse of what his life would have been like if he'd married her: completely different from the life he has now, but with a lot of love. What will Jack do once the dream is over?

Benefits: Follow your heart and marry the person you love before its too late; professional success is great but emotional fulfillment is what makes us feel complete

3. Home Alone: When Kevin McCallister is accidentally left 'home alone' by his family, vacationing in France, he takes his house into his own hands and haves himself his own vacation. But his delight ends up crashing and burning when he comes into contact with two burglars who try to break into his house.

Benefits: When faced with lifes unexpected challenges, trust yourself, be creative, and protect whats important to you; inner strength is some times more important than physical strengthyou must develop it; be prepared for the worst; loneliness is sometimes a good thingit forces you to stand on your feet.

Making your own costume can be lots of fun, since you allow your imagination to run freely. One cute idea for children is to take various colored, blown up balloons and a clear plastic garbage bag. Cut holes for the head and arms and then secure the bottom around the straddle, after filling the bag with balloons and they can go as a gum ball machine. A mummy is easy to make when using an old sheet, torn into strips and then wrapped all around the body. A trip to the thrift store can offer many ideas for costumes, from fairies, scarecrows and hobos. Children love dressing up like mom and dad, so you might consider allowing them to wear something from your closet.

When picking the perfect Halloween costume, always consider safety first, such as wearing flame-retardant materials and masks that do not obstruct a clear view of the area around the person wearing a mask. Also, you should make sure that when out trick or treating that children wear some type of reflective material and carry a flash light, so they are easily seen by passing motorist. When its cold out, make sure your Halloween costume is large enough to accommodate wearing warm clothing underneath, while if it is warm weather, your costume should not be so thick and bulky as to cause uncomfortable overheating while wearing it.

The enthusiast of stamp collecting have collected stamps as their hobby due to their interesting features and designs for an extremely long time, but to learn more about collecting stamps then you need to be able to take a closer look at each stamp.

Stamp collecting will entice your to think of things you have never actually thought of before, such as their bright colors and the fine print. These features are hard to resist by any avid stamp collector, so you will want to learn everything you can about this exciting hobby. Stamp collecting does take extra patience and even years to be able to perfect the grading art of stamps.

To be able to properly store your collection of stamps, then an album will need to be purchased, which will help keep your stamps in a safe place. Be sure that the album you purchase will be large enough to store any stamps you may purchase in the future, because your collection will continue to grow. You may also want to invest in polythene packet, which will keep your stamp collection album from getting wet and your years of collecting going to waste.

Other equipment you will need for your collection includes a magnifying glass and a pair of stamp tongs. The magnifying glass will be needed to inspect the fine details of vintage stamps that you are unable to see with your naked eye, and the pair of stamp tongs will prevent you from damaging stamps with your oily skin, but make sure your tongs have a rounded tip instead of a pointed tip.

With the use of the Internet, there are no boundaries now when building any stamp collection. When you decide to begin creating you own collection figure out what type of design or theme you have in mind for your collection. Pick a theme that will keep your own interest and shows your personality, because your collection should define itself through your interests.

There are a variety of themes to choose from when beginning a collection of stamps. A duck hunter may want to collect stamps from the duck series, while a dog or cat lover will want their collection to show a variety of dogs and cats. You may choose stamps from a country like Switzerland, Ireland, or the United States, but then again you may have served in the military and have discovered while servicing your country that you there are special stamp theme which honor the armed services.

Collecting stamps should be exciting and interesting when searching for stamps for your own collection, and it seems as if new collectors will seize everything that catches their eye and gains their immediate interest. However, sometimes the new collector is not aware of the condition of the stamps they are purchasing, because they are more interested in the fact that they have actually found the stamps. As they continue purchasing stamps for their collection they will become more aware of the condition of the stamps they are purchasing. Stamps that have a small tear or if the design is not perfectly centered may seem desirable at first, but as the collector gains experience they will release what conditions in each type stamps are acceptable and what are not.

As experience, knowledge, and understanding grows the new collector will realize that they need to look closely at each stamps before purchasing them. There is no set amount of stamps that any collection should have or need, in fact, some collections contain more than three hundred thousand stamps. So as you see there are no set guide lines on getting started collecting stamps.

Without baptism invitations, no one will know you're getting baptized. It's cool if you just want to go out into the woods with your pastor to a secret lake and get baptized in the cool water in an intimate setting. That might be the most appropriate path to your spiritual growth. However, the most ideal path to your spiritual growth in the unified body, family, and essence of Christ is to gather together and congregate with his believers and let them watch your baptismal ceremony.

You can get a mega phone and shout it on the street, call random people in the yellow pages, and run up and down the street wildly, but the best way to alert your folks, friends, and invitees is to send them baptism invitations. There's nothing simpler than a pure, enlightened path toward spiritual growth through true growth in the Holy Spirit. The dedicated body of spiritual believers can accelerate this process. It's important to invite these kinds of people to your baptism so that they'll see that you're committed. Of course, the ceremony is only between you and God, but it should really be a public event that other believers can provide advice, opinions, and scriptural teachings on. Don't even think of inviting anyone negative to the baptism because those kinds of people will ultimately destroy your great comfort in the Christian life. People that profess to know Christ but instead practice rules have no place in your Christian life. It would be foolish, unwise, and imprudent to send them baptism invitations. Let them fend for themselves in a world devoid of free love and grace. They won't last long, and their judgment stick will come back to strike them.

Baptism invitations come in all colors, shapes, and sizes with all manner of adornments and decoration. White, pink, light blue, red, and yellow are common colors because they evoke images of purity, righteousness, heaven, blood, and laughter. Each is part of the whole when it comes to your Christian experience. Each card or envelope can express different elements of the feelings going through you as you go through various stages of maturity and development in your brilliant Christian life.

Get online, start looking for baptism invitations, and pick them out this very instant because your friends are in need of a good old fashioned spiritual showdown. What are you waiting for?

Sexy Pirate Captain Swashbuckler Halloween Costume by Leg avenue

Youve spent years in perfecting your diorama or railroad layout but the pictures you take do not do it justice. To your minds eye the figures look real, the buildings are correctly scaled and the detail realistic. But the pictures you take make the building look like toys, the shrubbery like plastic and the mood unrealistic. Most difficult are layouts in N (160-1) or Z (220 - 1) scale or dioramas smaller than 87 - 1 scale.

There are three types of pictures you can take: showing the whole diorama, showing a perspective of the diorama without the intrusion of peripherals (room walls, etc.), and cropped close ups of the detail. The most realistic is the perspective shot which shows nothing but the diorama. In order to depict this properly, you must cut off some portion of the scene.

Assuming the diorama is on a table, position your camera on a sturdy tripod a few inches above the nearest corner so as not to include the sides of the diorama. Set the lens manually at the smallest F stop (which could be F11, F16 or F32). Set the camera at aperture priority (A) so that the exposure will be automatic. A point and shoot camera can be used but turn off the flash. Make sure the top of the picture in the finder includes only the background and none of the room walls. If a background is not a part of your diorama, buy a poster board in a sky blue and tack it behind the diorama as close as possible.

The flash on the camera is not a good source of light for this type of picture. The source is too wide and tall, the fall off is a dead give away and makes the diorama look false. What is needed is a point source of light. You may use the light from a slide projector (without a slide) or a 150 watt clear incandescent bulb. Place the source as far as possible from the diorama, ideally eight times the width of the diorama and about thirty degrees above the level surface and to the side. The photograph must be made in a shuttered dark room or at night so that the only source of light is the bulb. There will be enough scattered light in the room to light up the shadows sufficiently. If the bulb source is close to the wall or ceiling, cover the areas near the bulb with black cardboard so that there will be no reflected light from around the bulb.

The purpose of this configuration is to provide normal looking, sharp shadows in your diorama picture that will simulate sunshine. Set the camera color balance for incandescent light and later adjust the image file for a sunlight look. Additional light blue poster boards can be placed above near the ceiling and behind the diorama to reflect some blue tinted light into the shadows. Set the ISO at the smallest number (50 or 80 ISO) for the most detail. Auto focus may be used but manual focusing on an item one third the distance from the near edge of the diorama will ensure good focus throughout. Experiment with slightly different angles and foreground interest. The lower you can get to the diorama, the more realistic the picture. Overhead shots tend to look like shots taken from an airplane or helicopter while low angle shots simulate a raised but ground level perspective. A wide angle lens is preferred for the further object to appear far away (scale wise) while a normal lens focal length will compress the distance somewhat. Once your technique is down pat, future photographs of train layouts and diorama will be a cinch.

Pump That Music. What would a party be without music? Now everyone's idea of party music can be different. Maybe your crowd likes pop -- or techno music. But for a Halloween party you'll want to throw in some classic Halloween favorites. Include the music from popular Halloween movies like Scream or even Friday the 13th. Don't forget the Monster Mash -- always a popular favorite. Organize your music ahead of time so you just push and play. Be sure to ask friends to bring along their favorites too so everyone has a chance to listen to their favorite type of music at the Halloween party.

Add Some Special Effects. No Halloween party would be complete without some special effects. You could add some cobwebs in the corners, complete with creepy spiders. Or get into the spooky fog by using some dry ice -- very easy for even beginners to use. There are many Halloween special effects you can purchase that you simply plug in and turn on that are lots of fun. Many are activated by someone walking past them. Check out your local party center for ideas.

Plan a Menu Suited for the Day. Every party needs good food and this includes a Halloween party. If your party is more casual, you could even do something like take out pizza and bowls of yummy snacks in strategic places. Or if your party is more fancy, try for something that really gets attention. The key to Halloween party food is to plan variety and to also be sure there is enough food for everyone to enjoy.

Include Spooky Activities. A Halloween party is the perfect time to tell ghost stories or even to hold a seance. Another fun idea is to have someone give tarot card readings. Or if you plan it right, you can do all three activities at your party! This would be a unique party that everyone would be sure to remember. Halloween is a time when many people are open to trying something a little unique and spooky that they might otherwise not do -- like a seance or a tarot card reading.

Tell Everyone to Dress Up. Who could imagine a Halloween party if people come in regular clothes? Halloween parties are simply meant to be costume parties -- each and every one of them. It can be fun to have a costume contest at your party -- or even a theme for your costumes like couples. There are lots of things that people can do with their costumes. http://www.pumpkinkits.com offers you all the ideas that you need for the best Halloween party ever - prepare to shock your friends!

Little Doctor Infant Toddler Halloween Costume

Get them ready for a bright future! Brand New, Little Doctor Infant and Toddler Costume. Includes: Scrubs, Cap, Lab Coat, Stethoscope and Doctor Bag. Available in Infant and Toddler sizes. Goes great with any other nurse or doctor costumes for adults and children!
Customer Review: Costume
I am a bit disappointed in the quality of the costume. The seams are frayed on the jacket, top, and pants. There is a cut into the jacket which looks like a mis-stitching. The hat is missing the white stripe around it, but it has a tie to keep it on. I also was unaware that the medical equipment is of a plastic material that is poor quality. However, because of how my son grows so quickly, we will get the only one-time halloween use out of this costume.

Although there really is nothing to fear about bats, and they don't really attack people to drink their blood nor are they blind, it's fun to let your imagination run wild, especially around Halloween. The days are growing shorter, the air is crisp, and the leaves are dying-the perfect conditions to let your kids go batty. This year, forget the ghosts and witches and take a cue from Edgar Allan Poe and plan your Halloween party around these scary black mammals. Find everything you need for a "horror-ble" party that will drive your guests batty, from invitations, to crafts, to games.

Invitations

• Use a white paint pen to write party details on black bat-shaped cut-outs. Glue onto orange craft paper and send out to guests.
• Decorations
• Set the mood for your party by hanging inverted bats made out of black construction paper from trees or the entrance to your house
• Trim the front door with bat decals or cut-outs. Add a banner with a scary saying.
• Carve bat shapes into pumpkins and display on the front porch and inside the house. For an extra ghoulish effect, light candles and place inside the pumpkins.
• Using black and orange ribbon, hang bat shapes from the ceiling along with black and orange balloons.
• Make a bat banner out of construction paper
• For your a table center decoration paint a large, bare tree branch black and attaching black construction paper or plastic bats to it.
• Spread bat-shaped confetti on tabletops and counters.

Bat Hunt Game

Hide some toy bats or construction paper bats around the house inside or outside before guest arrive. Give each guest a paper bag and a flashlight and turn off the lights or go outside. Have guests search for the hidden bats. The person who finds the most bats is the winner. Give a small prize to the winner if desired. (Variation: You could have one special bat for guests to find, and the person who finds that bat gets a prize too.)

Owl and Bats Game

You will need either some plastic or rubber bats. There should be one less bat than the number of players. For example, if you have 6 players, use 5 bats. Before the game, color or paint a spot on the bottom of each bat. Have children sit in a circle. Put the bats, marks facing down, on the floor in the middle of the circle. Have children choose one bat. The child without the bat is the "owl." Have the "owl" sit in the middle of the circle. The "owl" points to one child and tries to guess the color of the spot on that child's bat. If the "owl" guesses the correct color, the child with the bat runs around the circle and the "owl" tries to catch him/her before he/she sits down at his/her spot again. If the "owl" catches the child with the bat, he/she will be a bat again. If not, the "bat" takes a turn to be the "owl."

Party Favors

Visit your local party store or discount store, looking for inexpensive bat-related novelties such as key chains, plastic toys, jewelry, etc.

Bat Cookie Decorating Activity/Snack

Let children decorate their own bat-shaped sugar cookies. Set up a table with paper plates, plastic knives, napkins along with sugar cookies cut in bat shapes, different colors of frosting, sprinkles, candy corn, etc.

Snacks/Drinks

• Ice cupcakes with black and add bat-shaped edible decorations.
• Use bat-shaped cookie cutters to make bat sandwiches or pancakes. Using a bat shaped cookie cutter, cut flour tortillas into bat shapes. Lightly brush both sides of each bat shape with oil. Place tortilla shapes on cookie cutter and place in oven. Broil tortilla shapes, flipping chips once when they begin to brown. When brown on both sides, sprinkle lightly with salt or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
• Bat grog: Combine 2 cups grape juice, 2 cups lemon-lime soda, lime sherbet, and lemon sherbet. Chill.

As mid-October approaches there are teachers all over looking for some new and interesting manner of presenting the story of Christopher Columbus. How many times can you read the same book?

How about engaging your students and exciting them by creating a podcast that can be posted online for the world (or at least their parents and grandparents) to listen?

Simply choose a reader's theater script that you like. There are many available online for free.

Practice, practice, and then practice some more.

When you are ready to record there are a few methods:

1. Hook a microphone directly to the computer and record. The two most common applications for recording are GarageBand and Audacity.

2. Attach a voice recorder to your iPod and record. Griffin makes a nice one. (Be sure to set the quality to the best for recording so that the voices import correctly. If you end up with chipmunk voices in GarageBand you'll have to burn a CD with the audio tracks and then import.)

3. Use an actual voice recorder that then hooks to your computer.

After getting the best recordings, import the tracks, edit if necessary, and compile into a single track.

Post online for everyone to hear!

When kids know that their voices will be heard from anywhere in the world they have a real purpose for improving their reading fluency.

Another idea for celebrating Columbus Day is to build the three big ships on the hallway wall. Take each child's photograph. Using only the face, have each student create one of the people sailing with Columbus on the journey. The person should be dressed for the proper time era and/or position on the boat. Hang them all up on the ships! A slogan might be: Cruisin' With Columbus.

Make these Columbus Day lessons some that your children will always remember!

Children's Pig Halloween Costume (Sz: Medium 8-10)

At this level, you will require few tools: wire cutters or a jeweller's saw, a mandrel (a shaped metal bar used to bend wire in a certain pattern) and, if you're using wire cutters, safety glasses. Wire cutters allow you to determine the diameter of your jump rings more accurately. You will also require wire.

The first step is to wrap your silver wire around the mandrel, taking care that the coil is perpendicular to the axis of the mandrel. Whatever your choice, you want to create even rings and this is best achieved by pulling the wire tight as you wrap it and keeping it under tension. Once you have used your silver wire, you can then slide the resulting coil from the metal bar.

Cutting the rings from the coil can be done in two ways and this is a matter of personal taste. Wire cutters can be used to cut excess wire from one side of the coil and then it is simply a case of cutting rings from the wrap. As a matter of embellishment, the rings can be cut either using slanted or perpendicular cuts. Some wire cutters make a flat cut on one side, which can result in a flat cut on one end of the jump ring and a slanted cut on the other, meaning that the ring itself would never close properly. To prevent this, you will need to snip the end of the coil flush, before making the next cut to create another ring.

If you are using a jeweller's saw, a good idea is to run a length of masking tape along the coil and hold the rings together, before cutting into the coil itself. You may want to cut from the outside of the coil and into the centre or, alternatively, from inside the coil out. The gauge of the silver wire and the density of your jump rings will inform you which the best course of action is.

Jump rings are extremely useful components to jewellery making and relatively simple to make although, if you have never done it before, you must expect to make a few mistakes. Once you have mastered the art, you will be able to turn out jump rings of different shapes and sizes, adding a new dimension to your jewellery-making.

Sexy 3Pc School Spirit Cheerleader Halloween Costume

Look what we found!" My brother and I raced into the house, arms extended, each with a tiny baby rabbit. "Can we keep 'em? Can we keep 'em?" we shouted. My mother loved animals (cats and dogs) and didn't have the heart to refuse immediately. She wisely deferred the decision to the master of the house. While we waited for my dad to come home, we played with the bunnies and started to mentally list all the reasons to keep the rabbits as pets. One baby wore a pure white coat and a circle of dark gray around her eyes. Her brother sported white and gray areas with black tipped guard hairs down his back. We laughed as they hopped over one another, probably looking for their mother, and watched as they left little round presents that we quickly snatched up before our mother could see.

Installing the twins in a cardboard box made comfortable with shredded newspaper and leaf lettuce, we hurried outside to build a hutch. Not for a moment did we think that good old Dad would not take the orphans in. We looked again, but there was no sign of the mother rabbit. The chicken wire we found would scarcely keep a grown rabbit locked up much less a two ounce baby bunny. But after much hammering and a few screams of pain, the hutch was finished. Sweating, we carried the box to the back yard and covered it with canvas, ready for the moment of truth.

Soon, Dad arrived and was immediately surrounded with shouted explanations of our adventure and pleadings to be allowed to keep them. Weren't we lucky to have found two, one for each of us? We automatically discounted our younger sister for being too young. Kitchen noises were followed by a call to supper. My dad sat in his favorite chair reading the paper while my mother insisted we wash our hands -- again. At the table, there was much discussion about how wild animals thrived in the out-of-doors and how they often contracted colds and such from the heat in the house. Barely weaned, my brother tried feeding the bunnies with a doll baby bottle with a real rubber tip, but it didn't work. Finally, my mother supplied us with an eye dropper which worked if we force fed the struggling animals.

After supper, we went to gather the bunnies to further our pleas to our silent father. Huddled deep in one corner of the box was the white rabbit, shivering with fright. Of the male rabbit there was no sign. A frantic search under the furniture and in every corner was fruitless. Panicky, we even tried to enlist my dad in the search for the missing animal. Suddenly, from the living room we heard my dad say, "Uh oh , here he is!" He had inadvertently sat on the bunny, squashing him with his full weight as he sat in his favorite chair. Now a bag of bones lying still on the cushion, his little rabbit soul had gone to bunny heaven. Carrying him outside in a match box, I dug a hole by the glow of a flashlight held by my brother.

Back inside, my brother and I reluctantly agreed that the lone survivor be transported to his burrow, come what may. My dad reminded us that though we mourned the loss of our baby bunny, there were probably hundreds of rabbits in the woods behind the house. That night, as we cuddled our favorite cat in our bed, we dreamed of rabbits by the millions.

Adult's Aviator Halloween Costume Kit

Holidays and special events should be a time of great joy, but dieters customarily imagine these occasions with dread and horror. Why? Because celebrations are not celebrations without lots of high-calorie, tempting foods. Does this suggest that you have to become a social-scrooge to duck temptation? No. The "secret" is to create a survival "plan" ahead of time and stick to it throughout this holiday season.

"If you fail to plan, you can plan to fail" is a time worn and clichd statement. But it's still wonderful success advice. Not only do most people fail to plan, they consciously plan to fail over the holidays.

Most people expect to "blow" their diet and miss workouts during the holidays. They expect to eat more, exercise less and gain weight. Instead of putting forth the effort by taking control, they resign themselves to maintenance at best or back-sliding at worst.

This negative expectancy leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy. By the first week of January, they're in the worst shape they've been in for a year and they frantically make New Year's resolutions to shed the excess fat they've gained. Is that your approach? Or, are you going to be strong and really make it all the way to the New Year without gaining weight?

Let's revisit October with the ghost of binge past. Oktoberfest plus Halloween equaled a huge junk food binge for some of us. Oktoberfest and Halloween are over and done. Does that mean you are going to let the ghost of binge past turn you into a food scrooge? Are you going to pass up seasonal celebrations to avoid the fattening feasts?

Ho, Hum! How do you avoid turning into a miserable ol' food scrooge?

First, get the Halloween candy out of your house. Take it far away. Okay, there are hungry children in third world countries, but you cannot lend a hand by eating everything in sight! Plus, feeding our sweet tooth is like watering a plant. It only makes the thing bigger, needing more the next time. Ho, Hum!

Wait! Look into your secret stashes and throw them in the trash with old coffee grounds and banana peel (so they won't find their way back out again). Yes, get rid of the sweets in your desk.

If you empty out all the candy, and find that your house echoes because there's nothing left in it, swap them with snacks such as unsalted nuts, fruits and vegetables.

Second, plan to tell friends and family to foregos food gifts. If you still get them, thank the person, but later give the food away to someone else. This way, you won't hurt the giver's feelings and you will eliminate your temptation.

Third, manage your time. With hectic schedules, there never seems to be enough time to plan, eat, exercise, clean, shop, cook, and decorate. Sit down and write out daily schedules for the weeks before your events. Determine what you can reasonable do in specific time frames and then plan to do it. Manage to have a meal replacement when you are on the go. They are far more nutritious than a fast food meal and more convenient.

Fourth, plan to modify your recipes. You don't have to give up traditional favorites - just modify them. For instance, make turkey stuffing low fat by sauting onions and celery in broth in place of butter. Use sugar-free gelatin to slice calories in gelatin molds. Take a look at your recipes to see if you can eliminate or decrease some ingredients or use lower calorie substitutes.

Fifth, plan to leave the leftovers. Too often leftover food goes into your mouth instead of the storage container, even if you're already stuffed. Give leftovers away, make packages for your guests to take with them, take food into work, or divide leftovers into portions to use with your diet plan.

Sixth, control your eating. The moment you arrive to a holiday gathering, check out the food and pick out a few "healthy" foods to eat and skip all the others. Eat slowly and savor every bite. So you don't overeat, eating a meal replacement beforehand can help fill you up before you reach the holiday party table loaded with "once a year, you have to eat me treats."

Seventh, meal replacement are your answer if you're like most people, and don't' have several hours a day to prepare healthy and nutritious meals. Study shows that people who replace several meals a week with portion-controlled foods, like liquid shakes or snack bars, lose significantly more weight in three months than folks who simple try to cut calories. What's the secret of meal replacements? Meal replacements keep it simple. Forget counting carbs or calories!

So you see, you don't have to fail to plan. You really can make it to New Years without gaining an ounce by including meal replacements in your diet. And, when you make it to New Years Day (and you have not gained weight), you will be free to avoid the parade of New Years dieters. Everyone else will be starting the latest fad, but you will be living your new lifestyle without deprivation dieting. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

Pirate Boy Halloween Costume

Halloween is a great time to host a kid's party. After all, what child doesn't like Halloween? One of the most enjoyable aspects of Halloween is the food. There are hundreds of recipes that have been specifically created for this spooky holiday. The following ideas will help you plan the yummiest menu possible.

Serve a minimum of sweet treats. You don't want your guests suffering from 'sugar overload' during the party. To celebrate the occasion, serve chicken fingers with a blood (any red dipping sauce.) If you prepare them from scratch, it's not hard to make them resembling the more human variety. Add a sliced almond for the finger nail for a realistic approach.

Another dish to try is to add equal parts red, blue, and yellow food color to spaghetti after it's been cooked so it turns an ugly brownish color. Serve with a green pesto sauce and call it snakes in the swamp.

Make goofy eyeball meatballs. Shape seasoned ground meat into an oval with a flat top and bottom, bake until done. Cut a round circle out of mozzarella cheese about the size of a half dollar or one inch in diameter. Cut grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes into three slices. Cut black olives in half. Assemble the goofy eyeballs by placing a slice of cheese on the meatball, then a slice of tomato on the cheese and top with a black olive half. Vary the placement of the toppings so the eyeballs are looking in different directions.

If you will be serving punch, why not serve the ghoulish variety? Simply make your favorite punch and add a few ghoul hands. To make these hands, fill non-powdered rubber gloves with cranberry or other red juice. (Don't overfill, the fingers of the glove should still move easily.)
Close gloves tightly with rubber bands and freeze flat on cookie sheets, which have been lined with paper towels. When ready to serve, open gloves with scissors and add to punch. You may want to break off one or two fingers and add them separately.

A fun punch can be with one quart of lime drink, one quart of lemon lime soda and one cup of lime sherbet. The sherbet should be added right before serving. Stir so the sherbet foams up a bit with the soda. Dust the foam lightly with cocoa powder to resemble dirt.

It's not a good idea to use dry ice in your punch to make it smoke. Curious hands may try to touch the dry ice resulting in freezer burn. Instead place the dry ice in containers out of reach, such as the back of a table and you'll still have the atmosphere of the smoky fog without the worry of accidents.

Keep the food simple and familiar but with a twist. Rename favorites in the Halloween theme. Use food coloring in blues, greens, and browns to alter the way a dish looks. Or use familiar food in unfamiliar ways. For example blanch a cauliflower head, break apart and then reassemble (this makes the cauliflower easier to serve) cover the cauliflower with ranch dressing then using ketchup in a squeeze bottle outline each floret with the ketchup so it looks like a brain.

Have fun with your food at Halloween.

Learning to play chess can be quite difficult if you want to be really good - and that's why chess training online is so powerful. You see, you probably already know chess offers a ton of benefits - it improves memory, helps with math skills, improves concentration, develops logical thinking, teaches independence, promotes creativity, helps with psychology - not to mention it's FUN and CHEAP.

The problem, however, comes in learning how to play and become an absolute master.

This is why chess training online is the best possible thing you can do:

1. You're practically forced to succeed. A good chess training class will take you from absolute amateur to world-class pro because of all the things online training can afford. You can get action plans, precise information that you can read and re-read, and drilled-down-to-precision information.

2. It's inexpensive. Do you know there are actual chess tutors? And they can cost hundreds of dollars an hour. Online training is much cheaper, even though you end up learning more.

3. You can save time researching yourself. Sure, there are chess books - but some of them are so dry that people can't get through them. Others are marketed great but don't have too much information, or are far too advanced for people who are starting out.

Overall, there are benefits to other training - such as one on one time with tutors - but chess training online is probably the best way to go for 99% of people. They get to learn without breaking the budget, they get things drilled-down to them in a very precise manner, and most of all - they learn, 100%, this game that so many intelligent people love.

Chad Chesterson finally became a Chessmaster about four long years, and he's now passionate about teaching people how to play chess.

Customer Review: Better than expected
The transaction went smoothly, I received the outfit in a timely manner and in a nicely discreet envelope. The product looked exactly like the photo and it fit well... my boyfriend loved the outfit on me. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

One of the best memories of high school or college would definitely be the great teachers we had. And our teachers were all great in their own way-some of them just said all the right things to make us laugh on dreary days, others were just geniuses that awed us with their knowledge and inspired us to do better, and others were just our best friends in our most trying times. Truly these kinds of people are what made of days at school worth all the headaches and more.

But then again there were those not-so-great teachers that were completely ineffective at what the did. Some of them were absolutely ineffective mentors, others were extremely biased in their grading, and the worst of them all abused their powers. And when you're trapped inside a classroom with a bad teacher there are only so many things that you can do. But all is not lost! Here are a few things you can do to get rid of that bad teacher of yours:

l File A Complaint: Most likely, if a teacher is as bad as you paint him to be, then this experience will be shared by many other members of the student body. So it would be best to use the powers that are available to you and to file a complaint against this teacher. Ask your classmates to help you out with this if you can so you can get an unbiased report of why your teacher is failing at what he does.
l Make A Petition: Because all of you are suffering due to the lackluster education you are receiving then it would be best to make it known. List all your grievances and sign the petition all together. This is the perfect accompaniment to a formal complaint. The sheer numbers should be enough to convince the admin that action should be taken.
l Boycott Classes: If things have reached a fevered pitch then the perfect symbol of your united front against this teacher would definitely be a boycott of his or her classes. Beware though that boycotting a teacher's class could make your grades suffer.

These are just a few of the simple steps that can be taken so that the school's local tormentor can get dispatched effectively. You wouldn't want to look back on your school days with regret.

Customer Review: Watch it Sucka!@
This was an absolutely hot outfit! It looked great and fit perfectly. I actually won best costume at a 70's party.

It's that time of year again to start thinking about costume parties. If you're still thinking about what you should wear this year, then may I suggest trying out a school girl costume? It is after all in the top 10 most popular fantasy lingerie costumes. The school girl costume is a great way to deviate yourself from the sea of sexy witches and devils that will be roaming the streets this Halloween. How about trying something different and wearing a sexier version of the school girl costumes? After all, there are a variety of school girl styles ranging from the nerdy styles, to the cute ones, to scary ones like the zombie school girl If you're feeling daring this year, then the sexy school girl is perfect for you!

So what is it about the school girl costume that is so appealing to people, especially the guys? Well, some people say that it is popular because the lingerie costume lends a different attitude to the wearer; allowing her to portray a character other than their own persona. Dressing up in something like a school girl costume helps you to embrace personalities far different from your own.

But besides the sexy school girl costume there is also the cute school girl which pretty much brings back memories from the past, especially with memories of wearing pigtails. Another is the nerdy school girl costume, though often over looked, is also among the favorites of the more "comedic" female groups. Nerdy school girl costumes are very amusing and very refreshing from the many "sex kitten" costumes that come out every Halloween. But if you're more into the macabre, then perhaps the zombie school girl would be your perfect fit. Often designed after the Japanese dead school girl films, it truly is very creepy when first seen. There is also a gothic school girl costume for those of you who love to wear black.

So how does one recreate a school girl look? Just follow the simple steps below and you will be well on your way to creating your perfect school girl costume.

You will need:

• A couple of ponytail holders
• Comfortable shoes or boots (I recommend wearing heels with the sexy school girl costume)
• Pleated, plaid skirt (can be short or long)
• White or argyle knee high socks
• White men's button down shirt or a very short and tight women's top
• Some bubble gum (preferably pink)
• 1 band aid
• Accessories such as a book or glasses

Step 1 is to part your hair evenly in the middle and tie each side into a ponytail.

Step 2 is to put on very minimal make up (if you're going for a more innocent look) or if you're going for the sexier version, try some red lipstick and heavy eye liner.

Step 3 put on the costume clothes and shoes.

Step 4 is optional but it could be a fun addition. Place the band aid on your knee or fore head to fake a scratch or cut. Remember all the school yard rumbles? Yes, you were part of it.

Step 5 start chewing on the bubble gum. Blow some bubbles to add to the effect.

So there you have it, some options for the school girl costume that you can try this coming Halloween. It's always great to try something different, especially if you want to stand out at your Halloween party this year.

Making your Halloween decorations more creative is something we all wish we could do, and this article will give you a great example which will surely spur your own creativity. Every Halloween, my sister and my neighbor compete to see who can turn their home into the spookiest haunted house. This year, they were both surprised when my nephew put them all to shame with his own version!

He put together several themed rooms, and then unified the rest of the house to make it all seamlessly creepy. He did this using spider webs, (don't worry, they were fake), and placing them everywhere, including on the stairs! He also strategically attached plastic bats to the corners in various rooms; in fact he even hung one from the family room chandelier. Then, he took a few paper skeletons and artistically affixed them to the walls so that they looked like they were caught in action. One of them was placed in such a way that it looked like it was walking into my sister's bedroom. Another appeared to be peeking out from the basement door. But my favorite skeleton was the one that you saw upon entering the house, he was grinning at you from behind the couch!

He also transformed their boring, everyday kitchen into a spooky witch's cooking spot. And what she's cooking you surely don't want to know! First, he a hung a paper cutout of a witch by the place where their mop was kept. Then he turned the mop into a witch's broom with some cleverly placed decoration. Finally he purchased and placed a sinister looking cauldron on the stove, so the witch could work on her potions. Something creepy was most certainly cooking in this kitchen!

Still, I have to say that my favorite room by far was that of my niece. Never would we have expected that this room could become a tribute to creepiness, as my niece is one the cutest little girls you would ever see, with the most extensive collection of adorable stuffed animals around. She has bunnies, kitty cats, teddy bears, and monkeys among others. My nephew cleverly decided to use those plush toys in his Halloween theme. Many of them he turned in to ghosts, using white handkerchiefs with holes poked for their eyes. He even secured them with a small strap so that it looked like they were hovering creepily. He utilized the natural devilishness of her stuffed raccoon, figuring that he already had a mask, so he'd just add a chain and plastic knife so it would truly look like he was up to no good. The rest of the animals he turned in to vampires. For example, my favorite one was a teddy bear that he dressed up with a black clothe for a "cape," and white fangs cut from paper. Teddy Dracula was born!

As you can see, with just a little bit of creativity you can turn your ordinary home into a true haunted house! Of course, my nephew won the decorating competition with his great ideas. We're all thrilled to see what he'll come up with next year, maybe this time my niece's teddy bears will become a gargoyle! I hope his example will inspire you to create your own creepy Halloween haunts! Remember, with just a little creativity you can turn your own home into something amazing.

The costume was a hit, but keeping the costume inflated was a chore. The batteries were new, and lasted half of the party I attended. Other than that, the costume fit fine and got many laughs.

Thanksgiving is an occasion everybody looks forward to. It is a special event when families reunite and friends get together for a meal representative of thankfulness for all the blessings that have come the whole year round. Comparatively, Thanksgiving does not tend to the same level of decorating as Halloween or Christmas, holidays for which decorating has become so much a part of the celebration, but there are still wonderful Thanksgiving decorations to make your home more festive. And some of my favorite decorations are Thanksgiving vintage collectibles.

Most Thanksgiving collectibles tend to revolve around the foods we eat during the season, whether used as images on paper items such as Thanksgiving postcards or decorating food serving items such as trays and dishes. Pumpkins, corn and of course, turkeys are on top of the list.

The popularity of these collectibles is prompted by historic reasons. Originally, Thanksgiving Day is an occasion to symbolize the thankfulness of early American settlers for a bountiful harvest season. Through the years, the occasion has evolved and has become more symbolic in nature. Now, people gather in Thanksgiving to express thankfulness for all the blessings and good tidings accumulated in the past year.

Because the celebration of Thanksgiving revolves around the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, items that symbolize that meal gathering have become the objects that symbolize the occasion. Among the popular collectibles are Thanksgiving mementos made of paper, fabric, and wax; such as cards, tablecloths, and candles. You would also notice that Thanksgiving collectibles are mostly display and dinner pieces, usually ceramic or porcelain. These are collectibles that serve a functional, as well as decorative purpose, especially items like dinner plates, bowls, casseroles, platters, gravy boats and salt and pepper shakers.

In the 1800s and throughout the 20th century, manufacturers have produced Thanksgiving decorations. Most of the vintage items are still very much functional today, though some collectors may prefer to keep them for display purposes only so they'll be protected from any mishaps. I would hate to spill gravy or wine all over a vintage tablecloth.

Some other popular vintage Thanksgiving collectibles available are soap and food molds. As usual, these items are usable and can be very helpful in making food presentations during the Thanksgiving meal more appropriate, lively and decorative. Vintage candy containers are also readily available online at sites like Ebay. There are many fun turkey-shaped candy containers manufactured during the first half of the 20th century that can add to the Thanksgiving atmosphere.

If you enjoy decorating your Thanksgiving table, be sure to check out some of the vintage Thanksgiving decorations available, including some very cute Turkey Candy Containers.

The bright berries of the beautiful holly are now glittering among the polished leaves, and make some of our woodland walks still scenic. The holly plant has represented Christmas throughout the years.

The bright green mosses under our feet, and the shining hollies beside us, almost cheat us into the idea that summer has returned, especially when a stream of sunshine crosses the trees, and tinges the boughs with golden light...

How beautiful, how very beautiful, is a country walk, even in the deepest winter! The holly - it is so bright and beautiful at every season, -that I wish it more frequently adorned our gardens.

Never mind the formality of a holly hedge - it reminds us of bygone days and people, of our great-great-grandfathers, and of times we love to look back to in history's brightest page.

A holly-bush should be in every garden, (twined with honeysuckle for summer beauty), because it reminds us, above all,of the season we are now just on the point of celebrating.

We are again on the threshold of Christmas:how many hearts have ceased to beat since we last heard its thrilling anthem! Many of us will be missing a loved one at this time and our hearts will be filled with sadness.

Let us go into this blessed season with deep but holy joy;not only as a time of feasting and amusement, but as a time of spiritual and eternal interest, everywhere.

"The joys of the season to all".

You only have about a month to prepare Halloween costumes for your kids. Buying Halloween costumes could be time-consuming because they always change their minds. Today they want Belle costumes but tomorrow they may ask you to buy Sleeping Beauty costumes.

It is a good idea to give them some choices as early as possible because it ensures the final decision is made carefully. They will have no more excuses. Of course it helps save you money.

Your kids may have been choosing Halloween costumes for several months. They want to stand out. They want to be special. They want, for sure, to get more treats than other girls. It is no doubt that Hannah Montana Halloween costumes must be their first choice.

Although surveys from National Retail Federation (NRF) show that princess has been the most popular costume for 3 years, Hannah Montana costumes is going to challenge that in this year.

So how can you get a Hannah Montana Halloween Costume? You have 3 options.

Option One: Buy from Stores
You can buy directly from specialty stores. The good side is your daughter can try different sizes and feel the "real" product but it will be quite expensive. Some stores may offer you discount because Halloween is coming. So you need to do some research beforehand.

Option Two: Buy Online
The second option is to buy Halloween costumes online. It is a better idea because there are many choices for your daughters. You can also buy accessories like wigs and microphones at the same time.

One reminder is that prices at websites selling costumes may vary. Just like you buy from specialty stores, I suggest you visiting different sites to check the prices. Do not believe the "lowest price" banner. Remember to compare the prices.

Option Three: Make it Your Own
You can make a Hannah Montana Halloween costume by yourself (or with your daughter). It could be more cost-effective. And you will find lots of fun when making the costume with your daughter. The relationship between you two must enhance a lot.

In case you are not good at making clothes, do not worry. You can buy parts of different costumes and then mix them together. You may think it is not DIY but it is much easier and you will also have fun.

If you ask me what the hottest Halloween costume is in this year, I can only say it must be Hannah Montana Halloween Costumes. If you want to buy one online, you may visit Hannah Montana Halloween Costumes - 2008. There are lots of choices for you.

While many sororities have had Halloween parties for years, but the concept of sexy costumes was something quite new. Instead of dressing up as the same old characters, scary characters from old movies and home made costumes of every description, women saw they could buy relatively inexpensive sexy costumes that were revealing but not at all vulgar, cute, and sexy, and as a result a whole new industry was started. Manufacturers who previously specialized in sexy lingerie jumped into the market hoping to get some of the sales.

There are several on-line stores that sell sexy lingerie as well as carries sexy Halloween costumes all years round. One of the great things is their large selection of accessories that can be carried in addition to their sexy costumes. They have shoes, stockings, panties, and dancer wear.
